Another Job for the Strikebreaking
President

One strike made Calvin Coolidge so famous that
he rode into the White House on the crest of a
popularity wave. There is possibility that an
other opportunity to show his efficiency a strike
breaker will be presented to him, if the anthracite
miners are forced to strike when their agreement
with the operators terminates on August 80.
News dispatches from Washington advise us
that the president is keeping a watchful eye on
the anthracite region We are informed that Coo
lidge will take active measures to break the
miners strike, should stoppage take place and
that he will take steps to ENSURE continuation

This is not surprising. The bosses did not elect
him president for his ability to make nice after.
dinner speeches or TO turn out neatly polished
phrases. They needed good efficient and willing
strikebreaker and they got their man.
In the meantime the operators are speeding mp
coal production in the anthracite region, that
they will have a sufficient supply ahead to tide
them over until Coolidge succeeds in breaking the
strike il IL takes place.

The Rifian War

All the glamor with which imperialism covers,
or tries to cover, its wars colonial peoples is
to be seen in the inspired dispatches relating the
exploits of the French armies in northern Africa.
Not much is said about the conscript troops, but
plenty of space is given to the oficers-a slight
scratch is enough to make one of them hero. The
sister of Nicholas Longworth, husband of Alice
Roosevelt, is the wife of General Chabrun, whose
headquarters are in Fez and this gives the
slaughter of the Riffians domestic flavor for the
dollar aristocracy that it would otherwise lack.
But the Riftians, who drove the Spanish oppres
sors out of their country, are not submitting, with
the humility that barbarians are supposed to
evince in the presence of apostles of christian
civilization, to the demand that they live within
boundaries defined by the European imperialists
They are putting up sturdy struggle and all thru
the colonial regions held in bondage by the French
and British possessions as well-there is evi
dence of strong support for their efforts toward
liberation. 100000 French troops, equipped with
the most modern instruments of warfare, have not
been able even to rescue all the beleaguered out
posts of French Imperialism.
France cannot afford to be driven out of north
fern Africa. She needs military base opposite
The Gibraltar coast and line of similar bases
along the southern coast of the Mediterranean tC
Offset British control of the sea route to French
colonies in the Far East and to bulwark her con
troll of western African colonies
Northern Africa is another Balkan section. Here
also the imperialist rivals clash and it is no won
der that, as in 191112, when France and England
double-crossed Germany in the Moroccan affair
the eyes of every foreign office are on the develop
ments in the bloody struggle taking place there
now
War cannot be isolated these days. There is the
factor of the growing discomfort of the colonia
peoples coupled with the sympathy and support
for their liberation movements manifested by tn,
working class of the imperialist nations which
makes these adventurous cOnquests by the ruling
class weakness rather than a strength to theil
control
What better evidence that Imperialism drives it,
devotees to suicide than the fact that confronted
with financial crisis at home the French rulers
are forced by their colonial policy to engage in
expensive and unpopular which strains thei
badly damaged credit and encourages revolt a
home?
The French Communist Party has not been SLOW
in bringing these matters to the attention Of thu
masses and the proof of the disastrous con
sequences to the stability of French capitalism viii
not be long forthcoming in the form of new op
pressions visited upon the most advanced section
of the French working class.

WATAUGA MILK ENJOYED
in STATE CAPITAL BOTTLES
II. L. Wilson, Federal Dairy Spec
ialist, Delivers Can of Milk to Ra-
leigh as Experiment.

The other day H. L. (Checse) Will
son did little stunt worthy of note
along the line of the milk industry
and the kindred one from which he
derived his nickname.
On the day to which we refer Mr..
Wilson took ten gallon cam of milk
from nearby cheese factory, good
wholesome milk, before any sort of
cream elimination process had taken
1pace, and after bringing the roch
\ fluid down to temperature OF about
35 degrees, enclosed the can in a
felt acket, placed it in his car and
"checked out" At eleven O'Clock he
was in Hickory, where he was forced
to stay until after one o'clock to see
that the milk was placed on the ex-
press car of train leaving that place
at about that time. Then he proceed
ed on his way to Raleigh. Train sche-
dulles made it necessary for the Wa
tauga fluid to spend the night in
Greensboro, and on into Raleigh the
next morning, where the milk was
found to be in first class condition,
sold to a milkman, placed in his bot
ties, and was used by the Raleigh
folks that day
Mr.. Wilson, in telling the Demo-
orat of this last pXDeriment among
the many he has made in an effort
to find in what way Watauga dairy
ing will make the most profit, says
that the milk referred to brings 40
cents per gallon in Raleigh, but that
while it costs approximately 20 cents
per gallon to get it there in condi-
tion, the advantage to local prOdu-
GERS is not large, whereas if there
was sufficient production to warrant
the Raleigh people placing one of
the new "Thermos bottle type" Of
auto tanks on the road the PROPOSE
tion might be profitable kinsman of
Watauga's famous cheese industry.
At any rate this move on the part
of Mr.. Wilson is interesting and by
doing this he has demonstrated again
Just how far reaching the dairying in
dustry might become, if sufficient
amount of Watauga's energies were
turned in that direction.

COVE CREEK HIGH SCHOOL
WILL OPEN THE SEVENTH

The Cove Creek High School will
open the fall session on Tuesday the
seventh of September. 1t is very im-
portant that all students enter the
first day and be classified so that
they may not be at the disadvantage
always attendant upon a tardy start
in the years work. 1t is our aim to
make this year the most successful
in the schools history and to en-
phasize attendance and throughness
of work.
In conformity with the action of
the county board last year regarding
tuition for students outside the dis
trict for the two months over and "a
bove the regular six months time it
has been decided that this tuition will
be payable upon entrance of each
term, half payable at the opening of
school and the other half in January
at the opening Of the spring term.
This rule applies to the grammar
grades as well as to the high school.
The school is now an accredited
high school and its graduates are en-
titled to enter any college in the
state or to secure elementary B GER
tificates upon attendance of one sum
mer term. Many improvements have
been made in the way of walks and
equipment and plans for the present
year call for others.
We want to take this opportunity
to thank our patrons for their splen-
did cooperation during the past two
years. We want them to continue the
cooperation and extend to them a
cordial invitation to visit the school
and especially to be present on the
opening day.

KHAN SMEN, UNMASKED,
$4,000 STRONG, PARADE
DOWN PENN. AVENUE

Washington, Aug. s. (AP) The
national capital was a mecca for Ku
Klux Klansmen today as Pennsylva-
mia Avenue was roped off for pro-
ccsson of robed and hooded ranks in
which Klan leaders believed $4,000
of their number would march along
the route from the capitol to the
White House.
Beginning in the early hours to-
day, special trains rolled in from
Widespreads sections of the east to
add thousands to the influx which
set in yesterday. Dusty motor cara
vans brought in other hundreds to
participate in the demonstration
which will continue through tomor-
row night.
The capitol police on duty, in full
force, were under orders to clear
Pennsylvania Avenue of all traffic
thirty minutes before the scheduled
start of the parade at 3 pm. White
robed women and children, families
of the visiting klansmen, will match
strides with their menfolk in the
procession, with a flank and rear
guard of police keeping step. No
masks will be worn by the paraders.
Keep your eye on the person in
front of you, were final Instructions
to the marchers by Klan officials
today in cooperating with police
precautions against any chance of
disorder getting start in the pro-
ceedings.
Leaders among the large negro
element in Washington have given
assurance to Police Inspector Grant
that members of the race have been
cautioned against letting any re-
sponsibility for the possible disor-
der rest upon them and pastors have
added word of caution in their SER
mons. The police force, strategi-
caly assigned to watch the days e.
vents, expects no disorder but is pre-
pared to quelch the first sign of it.
Breaking ranks after the parade,
which. if the predicted number of
marchers naterializes, wig continue
until we'll into the night, the visitors
will gather in the Sylvan theater in
the Mall to hear addresses by Klan
leaders: =" :,.
Klan officials were unsuccessful
in their efforts to obtain the servi-
ces of negro band to swell the chorus
of their own bands in the parade, the

After the holding of Sunday
morning service on a site just across
the Potomac in Virginia, the visitors
will wind up their program tomorrow
night with the burning of a fiery
cross. An eighty foot tree with

SUNRISE IN WATAUGA.
BY Edna Zoe Scrimger.

By Edna Zoe Scrimger.
Here, on Watauga heights, at early
dawn,
| watch the morning star whose
fingers light
Have silently the shades of night
withdrawn.
Now, in the east, faint streaks
of color bright
Deepen and spread until the Stars
pale ray
Is rivaled by the bright beams of
the day.
The trees and rocks below me in
the vale
Are shadowcd by the mist
dimmed clouds outspread;
When, suddenly, these mists begin
to quail,
And scurry up the rocks as if
afraid,
Ard hasten down the glen, and
hide away
Before the onrusn of the God
of day.
Now, stretched before me, off lit
tie way,
A imped lake lies, with its shim-
mering sheen;
And, fom this lake a river speeds
away 81.
A silver ribbon fringed with soft
est green;
And 1t my feet grow ferns, their
.ander fronds still furled
Lie ,inging baby fingers round
the parent stem soft-curled
While near me with their sundren-
ched faces lifting
And smiling up 10 meet the June
sky's smile
The sweetness of their fragrance
round me drifting
The rhododendrons stretch out
mile on mile,
With here and there the red-bud
softly cleaning;
And all my heart is filled with
joyous dreaming
-----~' No. i ''""S'
Oh wondrous, wondrous morn be-
fore me breaking,
Let my thoughts soar like these
rose-tinted clouds
Until they reach the hearts of others
waking
In them joys all undreamed of
in the crowds
Fears flee away as mists that are
sun-driven
And in this newborn day glimpse
a bit of Heaven!
