Bdgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of investigation, is quot ed us having said-recently that the: last desperate gang of bank robbers j and bandits had been broken up. Utui der his courageous and highly e lit clout leadership much tuts been doue to rid our land of organized crime.! i>ut there is much left to do. According to a recent report ot the law enforcement committee of ttoe American liar Association, one out of every 37 persons in the United States is a. criminal and 200,000 will commit murder before they die. Acoording to this report the annual cost of crime In the United States is 15 billion dollars and Increasing every year. Every twenty-two seconds a major crime is committed and the United States has "the greatest prison population in proportion to total population in the entire world." This is indeed a dark picture. - It is one that should challenge Christian people to greate?r and greater ef fort. It Is one that should lead them to realize the necessity and the urgency of mission work in our own land. While efforts- are being made to ameliorate poverty and distress, crime is on the increase. Law enforcement officials confess their inability to cope with the situation. The homes, the churches, the scools must aid in the fight against wrong. ?-The Word andWay. *13,500,000.000 OF YOUR MONEY ItTTs estimated that government ? federal, slate and national ? will levy taxes to the tune o-f $13,500,000.000 tliis year. Just one-nintli of that sunr will be raised through 'income taxes. The gigantic ; balance will be raised through indirect taxes which represent part of the cost of a pair of shoes, a ticket to a show,, rent, groceries and every other necessity and | luxury of life. " The great hulk of indirect taxes are paid by persons of small and moderate means. A man with a thou sand dollars a year eats as much as a man with fifty thousand. And the hidden tax burden is obviously of infinitely greater importance to htm. Here Is the answer to those who th!ink the tax problem Is a wealthy man's problem, which doesn't touch tbp poor. There isn't man, wpman or j child In this country who doesn't pay taxes?and heavy taxes, to boot. And the worst sufferer from extravagant government is that ordinary L. .in . > . . cuiscn wno minus ne 18 tax-free be! cause he pays' no direct ievies. Farm Questions (Answered A.

By Haywood U. Lynch I took off Saturday morning wit J. R. Da via, W. J. Fulkeraon, an I. B. Goforth for. the Duke-Ga. Tec Game. We had a fine time, left abou 6:30 A. M. and got back about 12:3 A. M. We went by Oak Ridge to ge Bill Davis to take him to the garni We aaw Charles Thomaaaon, Jr., wh is also a student at Oak Ridge. Th boys looked like real military me in their new uniforms. i mat th Major and-got Charlie off to go t Greensboro. Both Charlie and Bi were high In their praise of The Hai aid. They enjoy It more off at schoc than they did at home. At the gam boys were selling cotd drinks by at vertising them as ice cold chaseri Coming back between Pittaboro an Siler City the Davis car went con pletely dead. The horn would nc blow, the lights.would not burn, th starter would not start. Attar abou three hours a mechanic from 8ila City had us on the road again. Bu the funniest part of tha whole tri was whan Attorney Davis flagged 1926 model T Ford to get a ride int Tnwni Thr /Tn firm" nr ffinrni and on the back seat was just abou the fattest lady in the world. Bu uavis, was a good sport, ne got I and away they wont. But anyway I was a good gams, and ovoryono c us had a good timo. Charlie Dllllng's pet expression I "Don't you see*, and ftev. W.

Campaign Pledges ? And Their Value By RAYMOND P1TCAIRN Again America is experiencing one of its periodical deluges of high-pressure salesmanship. In this instance the salesmen are the candidates for elective office, and the prospective customers are the voters? in other words, "We, the People." What does the political salesman who wins our attention have in stock? sound goods or shoddy? On oar willingness and ability to decide correctly denrnHc?nnu an In ?rAr? olo^Hnn ihs well-being and progress of. both our people and our nation. Does he make pledges that are Impossible of fulfilment?and that he, himself, knows cannot be redeemed? Does he promise to fill every voter's pockets with money far beyond the ability of the nation to suppiy? Docs he pic lure economic and political mifages that dissolve under the searchlight of realism? If so, his proffered roods are fraudulent, and he is attempting to obtain votes under faisc pretenses?as serious a matter as obtaining money under false 'pretenses. ? i Or does the candidate offer what the people have a right to expect from him? Does he outline clearly his knowledge, his experience, Ids reputation, his character; and, eschewing the promise of glittering miracles, explain clearly Just what he plans to do for us. and how he plans to do It? Does, he avoid the campaign pledge which is incapr.ble of. redemption, because; like unsound currency which cannot be redeemed. It betrays both trust and friendship? Does he withstand the temptation to ignore the welfare ot the people as a whole by pleading to greedy groups or noisy factions to elect him as their exclusive agent and champion? These are less alluring offers. Bat for the people who choooe?and pay? our public officials, they hold by far the greater value. And they represent the things that oar country needs. The choice ? as always ?Is in our hands. ? TlHE COTTON ASSOCIATION - V -' ' tf '' . X ? netting Its members 10c and bci ter for Form Relief "4" and "10C." Deliver tc Pl&ntero and Merchants.

I Chapter Three To Miguel, who loved Gaby more !ally, their relation was a source of i..ih:,ppincss. Every tender, stolen hour brought nearer the ultimate reckoning. Every minute in her arms made him hate himscli? more deeply, loVe 'her more. He adored her to the point of slavery. HeI loved Peter as a brother. And rea- j son as he did, he could not avoid ] ' hurting either Gaby or Peter fin- I > ally. Gaby tried to lull his fears.

He returned to her from Vienna, from Copenhagen , from every European capital where his craft with the violin had dispatched him. They spent much of their time lone together. But often, discreetly they went out a trois with Peter. Peter, genial. Jolly and unsuspecting ?-aa overjoyed at having his wife nd his best friend together. This evening they wore in one of the crowded smoky dens that aro infested by the night life habituos of London. This one was famous for Its Negro jazz band. And whllo Peter and Miguel sat together, Gaby was evidently relishing their rhythms as she swayed in the arms of ? young man who was correctly attired in faultless Bond Street eve-1 ning clothes. And correctly dull inI expression. Miguel almost writhed as ha watched them. 'I don't know how you can let her dance with any counter jumper that comes along," he protested to Peter. Peter turned aside Miguel's irritation. "He isn't a counter-jumper," he pointed out. "He's Dickie Allison. I've known him for years. A very nice fellow. He's well connected." He lingered on the word "connected" and Miguel looked at him in surprise. The dance had come to its close, and Oaby stood before their tabic i while her partner hastily spoko his , apologlos and moved away. Then she squeezed into the narrow space along the wall. Sho was flushed with gaiety and Miguel could hear j her breathing with the exertions of ; the dance. There was a shiver of gourds and the seemingly tndefatig- j able orchestra took uj? again with a , tango. Peter jumped to his fast gad extended his hand to Oaby.

She Is a marvelous dancer." Peter thought of urging her, then reconsidered It, and moved off In search of the professional dancer, a feature of London night clubs. Oahy resented Miguel's surly silence. "Michael," she said (she had anglicised his name) "What is the matter with you? Are you cross with , me because I danced the rumba? I shant do It again. Do you like my new dress?" "It's disgusting," he said, "You might as well be stark naked." "Oh! you are unjust Look at the others. I am covered up like a nun. Besides, Peter selected It. I didn't like It myself." Her eye ran over the faces In the room. Then alio turned to him with fresh eagcrhc3S. "Do smile at me." she begged hi-n. "I ant so happy!" "That's Just K," said Miguel finally giving voice to his feelings. "Hew can you'laugh? HoW can you He? How can you . . . I'm sorry 1 can't see It as you do.

"Is Peter nover to know the truth?" . "Of course, of course," she replied. "But why worry about that before It Is absolutely necessary?" Her eyes were glinting with the mischief that he found so Irresistible in her.. "Do you love me, Miguel?" she asked in a voice that left him powerless to resist her. "Please say you love me. If you do not say you love mo Immediately, I shall throw my arms about your neck In front of everyone." She laughed with glee at the idea of his discomfiture. He capitulated. "Too much, far to much," he said in a bushed tone).and reached in his pockot to find a crumpled message. He handed it to her without a word. "What does it mean?" she asked and when he kept silent, she unfolded it "Absolutely imperative you take next. boat American engagements can be postponed no longer," it read. She gazed into his eyes in sudden panic, and knew that ho meant to go. She said good-bye to him in the privacy of his chambers the next day. She could not ease the premonition rf unhapplness that was cat ingr ci ner heart. She wept uncontrollrbly while he caressed her gently. "Ccme hack soon, Miguel," she r/hlspcrcd. "I love you." "I cm't believe It until you tell him. When will you toll him?" was Miguel's retort. "I don't know," she sold. "You mustn't csl: mc any mere." "Why so much pity for him nnd so little for me? I am not as strong rj J'ou think." Miguel was .'ranltly pleading.

Streamlining in agriculture can " have some very different meanings, it seems. iFor Instance, when the 8 farmer Is to be 'streamlined" the pro 81 cess Is one of reducing bis output by plowing under every other row or killing off some of the porkers. When it is the Department of Agriculture itself that is to be "streamlined" the process is one of expansion by adding more bureaus and divisions ? their output, in turn, to be more directions to the fanner.
