BARBER SHOP P. 0.
LEADS TO TROUBLE

CHICAGO, Nov. THE double
standard of the barber shop is rob-
bling the men Of their last privacy
not only in the matter Of tonsorial,
but postal service as well.
When a mans wife patronizes the
same shop for bob at which her hus-
band has his beard scraped, that shop

postoffice address.
Arthur W. Gutbaus learned that
today. His wife, on leaving the COM

register. Opening it she read OF

communication with Mr.. Guthaus.

NUMBER NINE
Meeting Bd. Education
is Largely Attended
School Committeeman of. County
Meet With Board in Interest of
the School onsolidation Plan.

A meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation and the school committeeman
of the county had been widely adveY-
tlsed for Monday Notwithstanding
the cold snowy day that it was, the
court house was packed with repre-
sentative citizens from every COM
munity in the county. Every man was
anxious to know what this "County
Wide Consolidation" scheme means
to him and his school, and rightly
so.
Two representatives of the State
Board of Education, Professors How
ard and Edmisten, were present.
Prof. Howard spoke with reference
to the benefits of larger type of
schools, after first making it clear
that the state has absolutely nothing
to do with consolidation except in
an advisory capacity. Prof. Edmisten
presented the plan of consolidation
as proposed for the entire county
and discussed the same at length.
The plan as presented provides for
cen consolidated schools, of from
seven to twelve teachers each, leav-
ing about a dozen, mostly one-tea-
cher schools, as they are now.
This plan, if adopted, could be
worked out only as roads and other
things make it possible. In fact am
told by the county ST perintendent,
much of it could doubtless never be
fully carried out.
AS the law is now the Board of
Education cannot make any change
in any district, neither can they leg
ally erect school building until some
countrywide plan is adopted. After
one is adopted then the Board can
make such changes as may be deem
ed wise after hearing the citizens
who would be affected by such
change.
The question Of added costs in the
building and in transporting the chill
dren is the part that is creating anx-
iety among our people.
The County Superintendent tells
us that he is sure the Board of Ed
ucation is not going to do any rash
or foolish act in this connection.
The question of the adoption of
the plan will be taken up again the
first Monday in April.

Boone Will Get the
Hosiery Mills
$50 Dozen Pairs of Hose Will be
Turned Out Daily in Plant to be
Started Early Next Month.

Mr.. c. S. Grove owner of knitting
plant in Hickory, was in Boone again
last week, and plans were perfected
for moving the equipment to Boone,
Messrs Grove, w. H. Gragg and W.
M. Cook owning the stock which was
supplemented by an additional am
cunt, donated by the citizens of the
town at large to defray the expenses
of moving machinery, installing it,
etc. The officers are: w. H. Gragg,
President; C. S. Grove, Vice-Pres !;
and W. M. Cook, Sec-Treas.
Mr.. Grove has been in the hosiery
business for the past 80 years and
is confident that Boone is an ideal
location for a plant of this kind.
There will be 32 machines with a
capacity Of $50 dozen pairs of fine
guage mems hosiery, made in both
silk and cotton, per day. This indus
try will give employment to at least
80 girls or women, when the plant
is going at capacity, and those wish
ing employment should write Mr.
Cook at once, as it is the intention
of the company to begin operations
early in next month. The require
ments are good moral character and
willingness to work.
The company has rented the Sec
ond floor of the S. C. Eggers store
building and have optioned the en-
tire property with view to buying
it. If this trade is closed, a dyeing
and finishing plant will be put in.

Mclean Acts to Defeat
Clark Road Measure
Measure Seeking to Localize High
way Work Put on the Shelf. Day
Saved for Present Road Builders.

Raleigh, March 3.-Governor Nc
Leans powerful influences with the
1925 general assembly was again
emphasized in the senate this morn
ing when the bill to increase the
membership of the state highway
commission was returned to the SEN
ate committee on roads upon motion
of Senator Oscar Clark of Bladen,
one of the introducers of the bill.
The agreement which brought the
motion from the Bladen member was
reached at conference prior to the
mornings senate session between Go
vernon Mclean and twenty-four SEN
ators who were avowed supporters
of the proposal to give each highway
district three commissioners. Mr..
Mclean told the senators that enact
ment of the bill would embarass him
and he requested they abandon their
fight.
Had the bill reached a vote in the
senate it would undoubtedly have
passed. The sponsors were claiming
easy sailing in hte house. Once back
in committee however, the measure
would be allowed to rest with the
consent of its introducers.
Friends of the highway commits
sion feel that Governor McLean's ac-
tion probably saved the present or
ganization from being "uscrapped. +"
Enactment of the measure certainly
would have brought the resignation
of Chairman Frank Page, and sew
eral of the district commissioners.
1t would have localized highway con-
struction beyond doubt, although
the supporters claimed that it would
"democratize the commission" and
thereby add greater popular support
to roa dbuilding.
The support of many prominent
in public life was claimed for the
measure by its sponsors. One SEN
ator made the assertion that o. Max
Gardner. Democratic State Char sslfxl.e
John C. Dawson and United States
Senator Simmons had given their ap-
proval of the bill.

THE PRESIDENT FIND
PLEASURE in OFFICE

Washington, March 2.-President
Coolidge, more than any President
since Taft, appears to be really en-
joying his job.
Contradicting the popular impress
sion that running the government is
killing" work, Mr.. Coolidge, on
the eve of his inauguration is eight
pounds heavier than when he took Of
flee at tbs time of President Hard
-ing's death and has scrupulously ap-
piled mixture of pleasure and work
to the end that his burdens are being
tossed off with dispatch and with
no apparent i'll effects upon himself.
The fact is that the President likes
his job and hence takes daily meas
ures to prevent its exacting routine
from becoming irksome. He permits
neither his work nor his recreation
to interfere with the other.
No better indication of this is to
be found than his decision to establish
a summer White House, first at the
home Of his father at Plymouth, VT.
and second at the summer home of
his friend, Frank H. Stearns at
Swampscott, Massachusetts, Several
weeks will be spent at these two pla-
ces this summer, according to the
present plans.
Unlike the late President Wilson
who established himself in the sum-
mer of 1916 in a cold and isolated
retreat at Long Branch, N. j., which
Mr.. Wilson grew to thoroughly dis
like before his vacation was over
Mr.. Coolidge is going to make his
summer home with the folks"-his
parents and his friends. There he
can do just what he wishes, when
he wishes and with whom he wishes,
apart from the motley crowds of cur
ions

ASSOCIATIONAL RALLIES

Associational Rallies will be held
for the Three Forks Association at
Cove Creek Thursday March II, and
for the Stony Fork Association at

At each place the meeting will begin
at 10 a. M and continue to p. m.
Dinner will be served on the ground
at both places by the local churches.
Among the speakers at these meet
ings will be Rev. and Mrs. X. D. Stu
kenbrok and Revs. w. L. Griggs, and
j. L. Shinn. There will be other local
speakers.
All pastors, deacons, directors Sun
day School, w. M. u, B. Y. P. u.
workers and leaders are invited to
attend. Every church in the respec-
tive associations are asked to send
at least four delegates.
The announcement that the rally
for the Three Forks Association was
to be held in Boone was a mistake.
1t is to be at Cove Creek instead.
Let pastors and superintendent
take it up wit htheir churches next
Sunday and appoint four of their
number to attend. We are expecting
great meetings at Cove Creek and
Mt. Vernon. We invite all to attend.

Inaugural Finds Five
New Faces in Cabinet
Three Changes Came from Teapot
Dome-Resignation of Hughes and
Wallace's Death the Others.

Washington, March Ain the u.s.
ual slow, careful and deliberate way
that the nation has come to know
Calvin Coolidge, during the last Is
months, changes have been made un-
til now when he takes oath of office
by his own election, the President has
a cabinet, one half of which is new
from thatwhich came to him from the
Harding administration. Five of the
tlen cabinet members are new as the
New administration gets under way
The new members of the Presidents
official family are Kellogg, Warren,
Wilbur, Jardine and Work In reality
there have been six new faces, but
Harlan Fiske Stone, passed on from
the Attorney Generalship to the Su-
preme court bench to be replaced by
Warren of Michigan.
Changes in the cabinet have been
unhurried and each new selection
has been forced by circumstances
New heads for the Department of
State, Navy and Interior were forced
by the Teapot Dome exposures and
public sentiment The change in Ag-
riculture was caused by the death of
Secretary Wallace The resignation
of Charles Evans Hughes as Secre-
tary of State, brought about the Sc
lection of Frank B. Kellogg for the
post
Even the change within the White
House, the resignation of Private
Secretary to the President, Bascom
Slemp, was forced, and the position
went to Roy Sanders of Indiana.
The arrival of Frank B. Kellogg
from London last week, where he
had serve das American ambassador
to England for one year, completed
the actual presence of the Cabinet
group in Washington. Each and ev-
cry one has conferred at great length
with the President and all are set and
ready to assume duties Immediately
T following the Inauguration today.
The opposition to the appointment
of Warren of Michigan as Attorney
General gave way in the last hours
of the closing congress when the
President refused to consider anoth-
er selection.
Summed up, the middle west and
west seems to lead in cabinet posts
Wilbur, Navy; and Hoover, Interior,
are from California; Kellog, State,
is from Minnesota; Jardine, Agricul-
ture, is from Kansas; Work, Interior
is from Colorado; Warren, Attorney
General is from Michigan; while In
diana, with New, post office; Davis
Labor; and Sanders, Secretary to the
President, leads in representation.
Weeks, War, from Massachusetts,
and Mellon, Treasurer from Penn
sy1vania, are the only two eastern
men in the cabinet.
At least it cannot be said that
President Coolidge kept his eyes to
the East in the remodeling of his
cabinet.
