Cox. of Raleigh, is expected to decide this afternoon or tonight not to become a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor. Mon day or Tuesday Willis Smith who was Speaker of the House in the 1931 Gen eral Assembly, is expected to reach a similar decision and to announce that he will not be a candidate. What decision will be reached by Tom Mc- Neill, of TiUmberton .the third re maining potential candidate and re garded by many as being much more likely to get into the campaign than either Cox or Smith, is much more prob’ematical. It is believed that Mc- Neill will probably sit tight until both Cox and Smith announce what they are going to do. A week ago it was regarded in po litical circles here as virtually cer tain that Cox would become a can didate for governor. At an American Legion meeting In Winston-Salem Monday Cox told at least one man, if not several others, that he intended to announce his candidacy this week. Then came the meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee here Tuesday. Cox circulated among the members, as did several of his friends, sounding out sentiment. He received a very cool if not a frigid reception. His friends were told by many that it was too late for Cox to get Into the race, that too many were already pledged to the other candidates and that Cox could not be nominated if he did become a candidate. That night Cox had a conference with Senator Joetah William Bailey. What was dis cussed in that conference Is not known. But ever since Tuesday night, fewer and fewer here are believing Cox will get into the race. MOONEY'S MOTHER IN FUTILE APPEAL Washington, March S.—(API Mrs. ary Mooney, mother of Thomas J.

YAP)— I The Lindbergh baby, stolen from lt» crib laxt Tuesday night, still was miit ting today, and the kidnapers h».d not yet broken theii ominous silence. Officials of ten states gathered in Trenton with, a representative of-the government dseigned by President Hoover himisclf to arrange details oC a concerted campaign to restore the baby to its farmous flying parents. At Hartford, Conn., Henry (Red) Johnson, suitor of Betty Dow, the missing hmby’s nurse, was held for questioning. New Jersey State police, who had **mninfKl Miss Dow at length and ex onerated her of any connection with the kidnaping, announced they were not i interested in Johnson. They said he wwa being detained at the rajunt of the chief of police at Englewood, N. J., for reasons unknown to them. New York City police, howiever, searched a rooming house which had been Johns'i home and where hie brother sun lives. The brother eaid Johnson was deeply In love with Mtie ■Dow.

A Chi.- ago man signed a sworn statement giving a Niagara Falls, N. Y., add c ?ss where he said the baby was h«.'id. No such address can be found. The mother of the 11-year-old boy kidiu.T.ed at Niies. Ohio, a few hour after the Lindbergh baby was taken sent a message of sympathy and hope to Mrs. Lindbergh. T'nysicians warned that Mrs. Lind bergth might suffer a breakdown un less she gets some sleep. Miss Betty Dow cabled to her moth er in Glasgow, Scotland, to ask her to "cheer up."

All men are under condemnation because of sin and have incurred the wrath of Ond. From this condition of judg ment there is no escape, save through the way God himself has provided in the cross of Jesus Christ. This is an assured escape, which is not only entirely satisfying, but is -the only way. Apart from a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, there is no escape from the condem nation of Goc. A solo was sung by Rev. L. B. Reavis, and during the prayer after the sermon many hands were upraised asking for a share in the prayers of the people, and during the invita tion two young people came forward signifying their desire to confess Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

FELLOWSHIP OF PRAYER >f -OAILY LENTEN DEVOTION PREPARED BY THE REV DWJGHT J. BRADLEY SPONSORED BY THE FEDERAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHR/ST/NAJiERJCA SATURDAY, Mascli 5 “A Certain Man at Lystra" (Read Acts 14:1-10) This man a cripple, illustrates the elt eat of radiant rewgion upon those who possess it. By tils simple faicn he stands out in strong contrast on thg one hand, to the mob that could not see the Light and, on the other, to the crowd that saw it unciearly. Faith is a matter, primarily, of personal ex perience; and can be quickened to ac tivity, only in the secret places of our spiritual soMtude. So k was with that certain man at Lyatra. Faith begins as a matter between each self and God through Christ. Not until it has been stirred, and then est&bliahed in the soul, does K come naturally forth to shine as a beeco n before men. PRAYER: O God, our Father, help us to ke pecloser to Thee. When we are hired by the fascination of crowds, let Thy spirit hold ua fast. When we begin to follow Hie blind who lef.d the blind, let Hhy Light draw us back in to the pathway of Thy Truts Grant we pray, that our trust may remain simple and steadfast; so that always and everywhere we may be faithful to the high calling to which we have been called, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SUNDAY, March "Jesus Returned in the Power of the Spirit" (Reed Luke 4:14-21). Hope depends for, its constant re newal upon faith, while faith reaches out through hope towards its own per fection. We can not conceive of per sistent hope without faith, nor can we conceive of a growing faith without hope. Radiant. religion requires both, as primary and: essential ingredients. It was after His temptations in the wilderness bhaft Jesus returned and Jesos laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded himself. "Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was gird ed.” Then Jesus said- “I have given you an ex ample, that ye should do as I have done to you." GOLDEN TEXT—Mat* hew in is commenced an active ministry, to which faith in Hia Father, coupled hope in His Father's kingdom brought a power that was finally too itrong even for physical death. Like wise. it is after our trials and stresses that we are able to act as radium centers of an inextinguishable Light and an unquenchable optimism. We may well ponder this fact, because there is in the world a shallow belief that optimism ij a matter of mere willing or willing; that one can make himself optimistic just by "making it is sold-delusion. R i s artifical and up his mind" to it- Such is not hope spurious. Real hope, sincere opti mism is possible only after long vigils face to face with despair, when we have looked the spectres of doubt straight In the eyes, and have downed them. Coming back from such a rendeavous, having stood by while faith waa doing battle with its foes, w# are prepared to go forth "in the power of the spirit,” as Jesus was, preaching the coming kingdom of God PRAYER: O God, our Heavenly Father, Thou knowekl that our faith is often tried and that hope some times falls away. We pray that through Thy Holy Spirit, we may re ceive sufficient strength to keep uh faithful in times of perplexity; that out of confusion may come renewal of confidence; and that from our re newed hope may issue a deeper and a surer faith. In Jesus' name we ask it. Amen.

Post officials from every section of North Carolina gathered there in Win ston-Salem to hear their State leader Department Commander Henry C. Bourne and their National leader, National Commander Henry L. Stev ens. Jr., outline the State and Na tional program of the Legion. From the mountains, from the seashores of Eastern North Carolina and from the Piedmont section, came the Legion Post officials to greet their comrades in Legion service and to discuss ways and means of better carrying for ward the Legion's great program of ie-al constructive service to theii dis abled comrades end the widows and orphans, and to the community, state and nation. They came especially to see and hear their old friend and comrade, North Carolina’s own Na tional Commander Henry L. Stevens. Jr outline the great service and em ployment programs which the Legion has adopted and which are to be suc cessfully conducted this year by and through the hearty cooperation of more than 10,000 Legion posts in prac tically every county in the. United States. Nor was any one of Chat vast throng of N. C. Legionnaires in attendance of this the greatest, most successful and moat enthusiastic Conference ever in the least bit disappointed. They were all delighted with'the cordial manner ih which their comrades of the Clyde BoHipg Post received tfvecn, and were m6re than pleased with the splendid hospitality which awaited them by the Legionnaires and the en tire citizenship of Wlnston-SaKm. Winston-Salem is famed for its hos pitality arid the Legionnaires and cit izens of Winston-Salem more than lived up to the expectations of the Legionnaires who were privileged to be their guests a«t this annual confer ence Group Conferences Vgry Successful Each of the various group confer ences (Commanders, Adjutants, Fi nance Officers and Membership chair men; Employment Officers; Service Officers; Americanism Officers; Ath letic Officers and Child Welfare Os It’s Plowing Tune Transfer Old Sol Full line of plow castings, plow t T your bedroom, living room, nursery and bath r.

Newell as a candidate for the State Auxiliary president. Mrs. Newell is now first vice-president, she has been interested in the Auxiliary work for a number of years, and she is well in formed on the activities of the State work as well as the national affairs of the Auxiliary. The special feature of the afternoon was a report of the State meeting held at Winston-Salem last week. Mrs. Gary requested that as many as could attend the District meeting Friday, March 11, at Oxford, this meeting will be held In the Woman’s club building at 3 o'clock. The hostesses served an Ice course. ficers was well attended by the Le gion Post officials of Nortih Carolina. Never before In the whole history of the N. C. Legion, has such real and intense interest and enthusiasm for the Legion's great program been man ifested as was manifest at these Con ferences of the various post officials and at the evening session or joint meeting of the American Legion and the American Auxiliary (to which the public waa invited), when National Commander Stevens address ed this great gathering. Stevens bring# Real Message It is not at all hard for Henry Stev ens’ thousands of Legion friends in this state to realize the tremendously favorable Impression which I%»nth Carolina's Natiot.fi! Commander has made and is making wherever he has gone and wherever he goes this year throughout the nation preaching the gospel of the Legion. He’s the same old Henry Steven* who went from the mountains to the Mfi beck in ’26 as Department Commander in his efforts to build up the American Legion here in North Carolina—he is tbe same and then some, if you know what we mean. Every one who heard the National Commander's great address there in Winston-Salem knows that his mes sage was a real message from his heart to the Legionnaires of his native State. Many Legionnaires were pres ent who had heard Henry Stevens be fore and all agreed that this address there in Winston-Salem was the great est Legion speech Henry ever made. Had it been possible for every Legion naire in North Carolina to have heard that great message from National Commander Btevena, and to haye wit nessed the sincerity and fotmfuinam with which this great message was delivered, th« numerical strength of the American Legion in North CarcjJ llna would surely have been doubled within Che next few days. Every Leg ionnaire present undoubtedly was im bued with a real determination te “stay with It” and personalty see that this program of tbe Legion is properly carried forward In thair respective communities. Legionnaires present wished that alt their comrades back home could have been privileged to have thus seen and heard their Great National Command er In action there in W tart an-Salem. After heating that great address K is easy to understand why at the con clusion of the address of National Commander Henry L. St evens' address MW HELPING SOLDIER FAMILIES Varied Activities of That Kind Being Carried on By Group The main objective of the American Legion Auxiliary Is to render service to the ex-eervice men and their fam ilies that are in need of help and to perpetuate the memory of those that gave their life in service. Mrs. H. A. Newell in charge of the child welfare work has put forth a great effort to see that all cases that hre brought to her attention are in vestigated and the necessary help given when there are funds available. Mrs. J. W. Jenkins, lends a helping hand to the unfortunate veteran. She Is chairman of the rehabilitation work. She helps the men or families to secure the compensation due them or hospitalization wlier. needed. She looks into each case carefully some times It takes weeks and even months to get records completed. A great deal of correspondence is envolved and sometimes a number of visits have to be made. Credit is also due Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Woodard as well as others for the interest they have taken in this work. Another important feature of the Auxiliary is the Poppy sale. This helpe to provide funds for the work this organization is undertaking, the poppies are made by the wives of the ex-service men that are very ill in our government hospitals, they do not draw compensation or have no means of income. So in order that their wives and children can be near them during their last days, they are al lowed this privilege, therefore the poppy sale renders a service that is twofold. This organization is still in its in fancy. but it is far-reaching and ren dering a great service. at tfve annual post officers conference In lowa this year, the more than 2,500 Legionnaires of lowa rose to their feet and cheered, the demonstration lasting for more than four minutes. (And be it recalled that lowa had a candidate of its own for National Commander iasft year, a candidate whom Henry Stevens defeated). MACNIDER-BIRD WEEK This next week, March 7 through March 13 is to be known as Handford MacNider Week. In North Carole no. it will be known as MacNider-Bird Week, or perhaps better known as Tom Bird week. Former Depart ment Commander Thos W.

Your Income Tax No. 6 NORMAL TAX AND OUtiTAX The normal tax rate is 1 1-2 per cent on the first *4,000 of net Income In excess of the personal exemption, credit for dependents, etc.; 3 per cent on the next *4,000; and 5 per cent on the balance. The surtax rates--ln computing which many taxpayers make mistakes, usually to their own disadvantage -begin on net incomes in excess of *IO,OOO. The rates increase In accordance with the amount of net income included in varying so-called income lax brackets. On a net income of *IO.OOO or less there is no surtax. On a net income in excess of *IO,OOO and not in excess of *14.000 the rate is 1 per cent of such excess. The sur tax upon a net income of *II.OOO is *4O and upon a net income in excess of *14,000 and not in excess of *16,- 000. the rate is 2 per cent of such excess. The surtax on a net income of *IOO,OOO is *11.660. and upon a net income in excess of *IOO,OOO. in addi tion 20 per cent of such excess, the maximum rate. As has been stated, many taxpayers make the error of applying the maximum rate instead of the rate provided for in the bracket in which their net Income is Included. Following is an example of how to compute the tax on a net income of *14,500, the taxpayer being single and without dependents: Net Income *14.500 Less personal exemption 1,500 Balance taxable 13,000 1 1-2 per cent normal tax on first *4.000 60 3 per cent normal tax on next *4.000 120 5 per cent normal tax on bal- ance of *5,000 250 Surtax of *4O on *14,000, plus 2 per cent on *SOO in excess of that amount 50 Total, noraml tax and surtax 480 If the entire net income is earned net income, the taxpayer is entitled to a credit of 25 per cent, amounting to *l2O, which deducted from *4BO leaves payable a tax of *360. Tax payers are advised to read carefully the instructions on Form 1040 relat ing to the surtax and earned income credit.

Arriving in New York they take a taxi which Blane directs to an obscure hotel. {NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER BLANK’S arm rested on the hack of the seat and as the taxi picked Its nay through the mid-afternoon traf fic on Broadway Lillian Jostled against the arm behind her. Blane kept his profile toward her. It was a striking profile. “Son of like Jack Barrymore’s." Lillian thought, watching him out of the Lai) of her eyes. even whtle <she took In the clutter and color of the street of theaters and crowds. Once when (be cab skidded a little about anothercar Lillian was shoved against her handsome companion. And his arm closed about her shoul ders, and for a second fastened her tp him. “Oh--” she said, pushing him. "I Pm sorry* He turned toward her. “What's the matter, beautiful?” Bhb was very dose to his eyea Bhe thought they almost hypnotic with their Brightness.

For the moment he seemed content with that. along under the awning through the doorway. Here they were, going into a hotel together. Just as if they had returned from a honeymoon. Or as if they were going on one. It was all so strange to Lillian it was more like a dream than any reality she had ever experienced—or. for that matter, ever Imagined The lobby, Lillian realized. ..was small and rather crowded with red upholstered furniture, a news stand piled with bright-barked magazines, a cigar counter, with candle-like flames flickering weakly at either end. and a glass over which glared the word “Florist." Several bunches of red roses and yellow chrysanthe mums showed through the case. After passing the news stand and turning the corner to the right they came to the hotel clerk, and the ■“mall and information” window. Biane turned to Lillian. “I’ll fix up everything for you. see?” He took her by the arm and led her from the registry counter, over to a red upholstered chair. “Oh. all right. Thank you—” she said. sitting in the chair as be di rected. “Just leave it to me." he told her, patting her shoulder lightly and striding away, smiling a little over his shoulder Lillian saw him talk to the bald headed tittle man, the hotel clerk, .for a few seconds. Then the clerk pushed the hotel registry toward him and dipped a pen Into some Ink. Blane took the pen and wrote soqie thlng on the large ledger. 1 Bhe wondered what he wrote It never occurred to her that everything was not all right She felt a Uttle less exhilarated about things tn general- Perhaps, she thought, she was a little tired from the long train ride and because she bad been up so much earlier than usual But she smiled when Blane came ov«; to her.

It maiie people look at him. And the bell hop. who carried Lil lian's bag in his hand and Biane'a under his arm. had an angry, crest fallen expression They got into the elevator at the far end of the dimly lighted lobby. The little car shot up quickly and in no time Lillian and Blane were following the bell hop down a narrow halL Not until then did Lillian realize that Blane's bag was being carried to the room reserved for her. There must have been some mistake. What should she sty? Os course, it was all right. Perfectly all right. There couldn’t be anything wrong. No doubt they were just going to make some plans, get their business on a more definite program. She started to say something about it. but she decided that would be silly. What would Blane think of her, anyway. No. what could be wrong in that—his coming up to her hotel room for a few minutes. Now—in Salem that sort of thing could not be explained. But. this was New York. People did not trou ble with silly, useless things like that. They took intelligence into consid eration. She was grown-up. out cm her own. She was her own woman. Bbe knew right from wrong. And, certainly Blane did. And. be understood that she was s nice girl—and there you were In Salem there were only two kinds or girls Nice girls—and these Jwst the opposite. And Blane knew she was a nice girt Besides. Thomas Blane was her friend. The bell hop rattled the key In the lock of a door at the end of the long carpeted corridor. He unlocked the door and ushered them in. Lillian saw a nicely furaMMi room, caught a glimpse at e sflMfl. shining bath.

In Ike Xlr WiiUrf Hotel. «T 4. O. nAXKKHVILL Raleigh. March 5, Damages from brush burning, from which fires arc allowed to escape to woodlands can be materially reduced if persons hand ling fire adopt proper rules of safety. Chas. H. Flory, assistant State for ester in charge of fire control, said today. Forest lands of North Carolina at this season in a highly inflairtabie condition, and not only are easily ignited hut burn with great rapidity, according to Mr. Flory. Fires ori ginating from brush burning, he con tinued, account for approximately one fifth of those occurring in the State. Mr. Flory called attention to State laws providing penalties for persons allowing fire to escape to the damage of adjoining property owners. Al though a certain amount of burning cm the farm is necessary and justi fiable, he advised against frequent burnings. When necessary to use fire for clearing, Mr. Flory advises the fol lowing cautions: 1. Notify your adjoining landowner that you intend to burn. Obtain enough help and equipment to control your fires. Put a responsible person in charge of the burning. 2. Plow or clear a space around the area to be burned of all inflam mable material. 3. Burn after a rain or late in the afternoon when there is no wind. On a slope, burn down hill. 4. Before you leave your fire, make sure it is safe. No fire is safe until the last spark is dead. With severe fires being reported, particularly in Western North Caro lina, Mr. Flory urged every person handling flames in the woodlands of the state to exercise every precaution to prevent outbreaks. Who knows nothing, doubts nothing. MRS. S. P. COOPER, REGENT. PRESIDES Gov.

CHARLOTTE YOUTH HEADS CAT CAGERS Bruce Peabody Elected By Teammates At Cap. tain for 1933 Davidson. March s—Bruce Peabody, of Charlotte, has been, chosen by his teammates as captain of the 1933 basketball team of Davidson Ccfllege and George E. Ba'ily, of Hickory, has been named varsity manager for next season. At the same time, the letter men named Robert Glasgow, Jr, freshman manager. Peabody did not make his letter in basketball until the past season, but was one of the mainstays of the quin tet. He played forward in early sea son competition but was shifted to guarding during the latter half, and largely directed the offensive attack of Davidson. He ranked third in scoring honors during the past season, Captain Mathis and Grier Martin, top ping his total. The lettermen also selected as jun ior assistant managers Janus E.

BABSON, Copyright 1932, Publishers Finan cial Bureau. Babson Park, Fla., March s.—One result of this depression may be the wider adoption of the five-day work week. Surely it would be wise to cur tail over-production and spread em poyment in this systematic way. How ever, labor cannot receive the same wages per week. All interests must make some sacrifice. Employers might have ot stand some temporary raising of costs for the later benefits which the five-day week would have on em ployment and purchasing power. Labor may have to make some sac rifice in the total immediate week's wages in order to insure continuance of employment at*d make jobs for un employed fellow-workers. Increase in employment would follow the five-day week because the work would then be divided among a greater number of people. The five-day week is not a “new fad." It is already in successful op eration in some of our largest in dustries. Five and one-half per cent of all industrial workers have a five day week; forty-four per cent of al automobile employees have a five-day week; nearly sixty per cent of all building trade workers; thirty-four per cent of the radio workers; twen ty-seven per cent of the aircraft workers; and fifteen per cent of the woolen mill employees. This includes only the plants that have adopted the five-day week as a permanent policy, not those plants temporarily operat ing five days or less because of the depression. Many plants now operat ing temporarily on five days or less will probably adopt it permanently when the depression is over. To Offset Machine Displacement Os Labor.

B- (Buddy! Gardner, of Decatur, Ga.. was elect ed captain of Utc 1982 football team of Davideon College, and R. A (Dick) Whit field, of Hackettetown N. J„ was named alternate. Selection of them two men was made on the first ballot by the players who won their letter last fall. Both are linemen. Gardner is center and Whitfield at tackle. This Is the second football team that Gardner has captained Mace he came to Davidson in the faH of 1929, for ha was selected as leader of the fredh man aggregation at Davidson, He ranks as one of the outstanding cent ers of North Carolina teams, and was tied fer ft rat-place center selection on the All-State pick of the Big Five coaches. He ousted seasoned center performers for Davidson as a sopho more, and has played regularly on the varsity for two years. was increasing, because men were be ing displaced by machinery. In the ten years from 1920 to 1930 produc tion per worker increased forty-nine per cent, but the number of workers declined over 1.000,000. Machines are taking the place of men on every hand. More patents for new inven tions were taken out in the past ten years than in the whole century after Washington’s inauguration. What has happened? In the past decade manu facturing industries have installed machinery which necessitated the lay ing off of 255,000 men. The r&ilroadLs, although transporting more goods, dropped 367,000 men. Coal mines re duced their forces by 120,000; 800,000 agricultural workers lost their jobs because of new machinery. When w econsider that half the nation’s wage workers are employed in these four fields of endeavor, and more than a million of them per manently lost their jobs, it is no won der that unemployment is so severe. Department of Labor figures show employment is now twenty-«ix per cent below normal. If the five-day week were generally adopted, at least ten per cent more workers would be quired. This would bring employment much closer to normal than it now is, and would pave the way for business revival that would in time wipe out the remaining deficit of work. No one would wish to abolish machines, be cause they contribute to mass pro duction, lower costs, lower consumer prices, and increased standard of liv ing. Ail industry shows that man’s progress has come as a result of us ing devices to save his own labor. The problem Is to adjust the working schedule so that more men will have jobs. The five-day week, or ultimately the four-day week, may be the solu tion. Leisure Time a Blessing or a Curse. The five-day week is sound enough as far as business is concerned.

S-lOt people wanted to they could get along on a four-day week provided they were willing to work hard enough while they were on the job and let machinery do all the things it can. Our factories are running on less man-working hours today than they did before the war. yet they are pro ducing fifty per cent more goods than they did then, and paying about twice as much wages. Increasing use of ma chinery with the five-day or four day week would mean more leisure for workers instead of unemployment for them as it now means. The real question is, what will the majority of people do with additional leisure? If people worked permanently four four or five days instead of five and one-half, or six, they would spend the additional leisure time in away that would help. them, or hurt them; that would make them better men, or weaker men? As mass production Increases peo ple are sure to have more leisure and the future of business'ls very depen dent upon the industries which cater to leisure time. Right here let me say I think too much emphasis is placed on going to shows, football games, and other ready-made amuse ment instead of everybody taking an actual part in healthful, physical re creation. We have become a nation of spectators rather than participa tors. We sit in crowded theatres, arenas, and parks, watching a few contenders get the real exercise and recreation. Occasional attendance at such spectacles is perhaps a needed relaxation; but for a steady thing it is much better to employ leisure time playing games ourselves, working in our gardens, fixing up our homes, etc. Why pky out all our amusement money to watch other play? Employ Leisure Profitably. Leisure time will be a curse Instead of a blessing to the nation unless we use a part of it for self-education and improvement. We should read good books and worthwhile papers and raagamines. We as individuals are most affected by how we us eour working hours, but the community is most af fected by how we use our leisure hours. Our leisure hours rather than our working hours determine our character and the character of the nation. Any use of our time that brings improvement. physically, mentally, and spiritually, is a help to indivi duals .to business, and to the nation; but the wasting of leisure in inconse quential, or harmful pursuits, is a great detriment. Hence, while I be lieve in the shorter work week I also believe that we must train ourselves in the proper use of leisure. Leisure time will either make or break Amer ica. Business by the Babsonchart now stands at 32 per cent below normal compared with 31 per cent below nor mal last month and 20 per cent below normal a year ago.

STEWART Central Pma Staff Writer Washington, March s.—Although, nationally speaking, there are many «lgn* of a growing wet sentiment. oofigTess remains, nevertheless, not In deed, as dry as ever, but very dry. Straw polls, for whatever they may be worth, get wettet and Wetter. All sorts of wet political symptoms ire observable Ip New York, New Jersey; New Hampshire, Massachu setts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and elsewhere, in cluding some hitherto supposedly very dry tfrrltory. Party leaders are taking due notice. It has been agreed for a long time that the Democratic presidentail can didate must be chosen in conformity with the wet trend, to stand a reason able chance of winning, even with economic conditions so much to his advantage. G. O. P. spokesmen, while greatly Incensed at the effrontery of John J. Raskob, in venturing to guess that their standard bearer is prepar ing to acquiesce in a friendly Repub lican gesture to the wets, are careful not to deny that he is. Bone drys like ‘Alfalfa BUI’ Murray are devising pro hibition modification formuies. At least half the cabinet members class as wet proponents or sympathizers. But Congress? Congress is still about two-to-one dry, at the most liberal wet calcula tion. True, two-to-one is a wet gain over the last congress, which was dry by something like three-to-one, but ft by no nieans is the gain which the wet* ought to be able to show, if vir tually alt other indications have any real significance. The senate, to be sure.' is a slowly changing body. The wets, however, had a chance to moisten the house of representa tives up to 100 per cent of the 1930 elections. That is to say, they could have done so if they had obtained the necessary votes to accomplish it. If the country actually is as increas ingly wet as many experienced po liticians evidently believe to be the case, it is extraordinary that hte make up of the present lower congressional chamber fails to reflect it more de cidedly. If Congressmen were convinced that their various constituencies have been turning wet at railroad speed since the last election, they would be flop ping now, anyway—not waiting until the last minute. Not enough of them to overload a taxicab would hold out. at the risk of what they conceive to be their chances next election day. The records they are making at this session will count for and against them at the polls next November; they have that thought In mind in connection with every vote they cast now. They cannot very well stand as drys today and then, returning home, to find that their home folk have swit ched to the other side in their ab sence, belatedly switch over also—at least not very gracefully. In short, they are satisfied that j g) testa* one for the best essay on milk and 'its value as a food written by a high school pupil and the other by aj pupil In the elementary grades. The (contestant may select his own subject, provided it deals with any phasfe of milk, its care and produc tion.; Dr. James M. Parrott, State healfih officer, is also offering two silvef cups, one for the best milk poster drawn by a high school pupil and another for the best poster by a pupil in an elementary grade. Dr. A. T. V llen State superintendent of schools, is offering a silver cup for the best milk rhyme furnished by an elementary school pupil, while Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of State Col lege is offering a silver cup for the high school pupil writing the beat rhyme. Dr. White said today that some local prizes would be offered. An advisory council Is working with Governor Gardner In popularizing the idea of greater consumption of milk. their bread still is buttered on the dry side. There can be no question about it. It is to be inferred, then, that the country is not. in reality, getting as much wetter as it appears to be? Not necessarily. A representative who, coming from a district which superficially one would suppose to be unmistakably wet, but who always aligns himself with the dry forces and gets away with it .explained the seeming con tradiction to me quite llluminatlngly recently. “On a straight wet-and-dry test," he said, "I have no doubt that my constituents would go wet by a wide margin. But in political practice there is no such thing as a clean-cut test. Straw polls are uncomplicated by a multiplicity of issues, but genuine elections invariably are. Most of the wets divide on other issues than wet ness— and-dryness, which may influ ence them to some extent, but not de cisively. The drys vote solidly. Con sequently they win regularly, on the question which chiefly interests them." CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST CO. Established 1689. Henderson n.c.
