WORKERS STAGE SECOND
STRIKE AT ELIZABETHTON

Elizabethton, Tenn, April g.
Employees of the American Glanzstoff
corporation plant went on strike to-
day for the second time within a
month. About 1000 operatives in
the textile plant walked out at A
o'clock when union officials gave
the word.
F. E. Muehleader, assistant presi-
dent of the American Bemberg cor
poration here, said tonight that
"either strikers of the American
Glanzstoff plant or outsiders" fore
ed the whole day crew of the Benz
berg plant away from their machines
this afternoon against their will''
and that both plants are closed.
He declared none Of the Bemberg
employees, he believed, was willing to
go out. The two plants are operated
under joint management, the one as
a textile mill and the other manufac-
turing rayon goods.

GOVERNOR GARDNER LIKES
WATAUGA KRAUT JUICE

The Raleigh News and Observer
Friday says: No more grapefruit
from Florida, no more oranges from
California, no more figs from Texas
for the gubernatorial breakfast
table.
"North Carolina products for
North Carolinians," quoted Cover
nor Gardner yesterday, debating an
order for two cases of sauerkraut
juice manufactured at Boone, N. C.
cts fine. l started drinking Ii
two weeks ago and think it the best
breakfast fruit I've ever tasted.
They're serving it in all the best no
tells now, and North Carolina makes
the best there is," the governor con-
tinued.
So breakfast guests at the man
sion hereafter may expect to drink
North Carolina sauerkraut juice,
followed by other native cictuals and
if they happen to drive away in the
executive limousine, it will be in
another North Carolina product, q
Lincoln, finished up in the big Ford
plant at Charlotte.

HONEY BUSINESS is FOUND
PROFITABLE IN THIS STATE

Raleigh, April 12.-Some North
Carolina farmers who have gone into
the beekeeping business are making
a return of from $4,000 to $4,000
a year from their apiaries, announces
C. L. Sans, beekeeping specialist at
North Carolina State college.
The season of 1928 was particu-
larly favorable to beekeeping, Mr..
Sans said. There was a good in
crease in the honey production
though not so many persons joined
the ranks of the beekeepers as in
previous years. The increased plant
ing of sweet clover throughout the
Piedmont section was favorable
development and some of those hav-
ing their apiaries near clover fields
reported more than 100 pounds Of
honey per colony from the plant.

CONGRESS MEETS IN EXTRA
SESSION ON FARM RELIEF

Washington, April 15.-The ills OF
the farmer about which three ad-
ministrations have worried and talk
ed brought the new congress into
special session today to deliberate
over a remedy.
Meeting at the call of President
Hoover for the specific purpose Of
carrying out his campaign pledge
for farm relief and the suggestion
for tariff revision, the two houses
sped through the opening formalities
today and paved the way to press to
conclusion the work already
started on these subjects.
While there appeared a possibili-
ty in the senate that no farm bill
would reach the floor before next
Monday, the house moved ahead
swiftly. Barely had the echoes Of
the opening gavel subsidized before
Chairman Haugen of the agricultur-
tural committee dropped into the
basket bill drafted along lines Of
the Republican platform and the
campaign utterances of the presi-
dent. 1t has been represented as
having the tacit approval of Mr..
Hoover.
The senate agriculture commit
Lo{
write the debenture plan into its
bills, and is delaying action until To-
morrow with the hope that Secretary
Hyde will appear before it and give
the administration views upon that
proposal. If the debenture plan is
rejected, the general principles of
the bill to be presented to the senate
will be similar to the measure be-
fore the house.
With the committee undecided
over which course to take, senti-
ment was reported brewing in the
senate for adjournment Wednesday
over the weekend to give the agri-
cultural group time to settle the
debenture question and report bill.
Some house leaders expressed de-
termination to make short shift of
the farm bill. Members Of the agri-
culture committee, after approving
their measure Sunday, regarded the
remainder of their work as only a
formality. The bill will be referred
formally to them tomorrow after
committee has been organized for
the new session and they expect to
have it ready for house considera-
tion Wednesday.

SpainF rs to Have
Fu .ure Department

Mr.. C. S. Coffey of the Rhodes
Day Furniture Company, North
Wilkesboro, was in town the last of
the week and gives The Democrat in
formation to the effect that his firm
will operate a furniture store on the
basement floor of the Spainhour
building which is rapidly nearing
completion. The opening will be
on the same day as that of Spain
hours but slight delay in the re-
ceipt of some of the finishing ma
terial makes it impossible to an
nounce definitely the date at this
time. This information will likely
be available for the next issue of
The Democrat.
Mr.. Coffey had been in the lead
ing furniture markets during the
first days of last week buying new
stock for the Boone store, a consid-
cradle amount of which is to be de-
ivered in Boone this week. He
points out that the entire North
Wilkesboro stock will be actually
available to the local shopper, as re-
preventative pieces will be displayed
here and the stock constantly re-
plenished. Mr.. NJ. G. Steelman, an
experienced furniture man, will have
charge of the Boone store, which,
while owned by Rhodes-Day, will re-
ally be operated as department Of
the Spainhour store, the entrance
being from their main floor,
The Rhodes-Day company has had
most successful career in North
Wilkesboro and has implicit faith IN
Boone and its future growth.

Civilians in Monthly
Business Meeting

Chief among the business matters
to come up before the Civitan Club
at its monthly business session last
Thursday evening at the Daniel
Boone hotel was the naming of a
committee, composed of Civilians G.
H. Moser, w. E. Conner and Gordon
Winkler to arrange a program and
work out details for meeting of the
club and the boys of the town. It
is probable that the boys meeting
will be held shortly after the next
business meeting of the club, and it
is hoped that a speaker familiar
with boys work will be present and
talk to the youngsters.
Civilians McDade and Moser COM
pose a committee looking to the 10
cation of a federal highway from
Damascus, Va, via Lenoir South. 1t
was pointed out that the only diff
Guilty in securing the routing of
U. S. highway through this section
from the Lee highway at Damascus
is the unimproved stretch of road
from the Virginia city to Mountain
City. The committee will take this
matter up with the Tennessee high
way commission in an effort to
secure the federal-numbered high
way from the famous Shenandoah
valley south.
Civilians McDade and Vaughn
were asked by the club to write let
ters to J. Walter Wright and Baxter
M. Linney, urging them to sign a
five-year lease on 700 acres of land
in the county for a state game pre-
serve. 1t was reported to the club
that the state department of con-
servation and development would
stock the preserve with game this
spring if the lease could be secured.
Following the transaction of busi-
ness matters, DR.. Hillman, former
member of the faculty of the Appa-
lachian State Normal school, now
connected with the state department
Of education, Raleigh, was introduc-
ed to the club and he presented DR..
j. Henry Highsmith, state inspector
of high schools, who spoke briefly
on the general subject of education.
He had some criticism of the recent
legislature because of it's failure to
enact an eight-months school law,
and he scored some of the provisions
of the Hancock education bill. He
argued that the state, with its wealth
of nearly four billion dollars, was
able financially to support an eight
months school term. If it takes more
money to run our schools, we must
have more money. If higher taxes
are necessary, taxes must be made
higher. The state cannot make last
ing progress except through knowl-
edge, and our schools must supply
this knowledge, therefore they must
be maintained on a high standard of
efficiency, regardless of what the
cost may be.

SCRAP.


San Francisco, April 12.-Return-
ing from their great adventure with
Commander Richard E. Byrd in the
Antarctic, IL members of the ia
nous explorers party arrived here
today aboard the Union liner Tahiti
from New Zealand. The men, for
mer members of the crews of Byrd's
ships, the New York and the Eleanor
Boiling, arrived with praise for their
famous leader and tales of thrilling
battles with the icy elements "down
under" They are back in America
for "brief respite" as they termed
it, and to await orders to rejoin the
expedition "as soon as the icy pack
breaks" They will disband here
and return to their homes pending
further Instructions. The party was
headed by Lieut.. Harry Adams, re-
tired naval officer, who said the two
ships comprising the transport serv-
ice of the Byrd expedition are now
tied up at Dunedin, N. T., In addi-
ton to the regular members of the
crews, w. Cavionski, who sailed
from San Pedro, CAL, as stowaway
on one of Byrd's ships, was in the
party. He was as enthusiastic as the
others over the adventure and in his
praises of Commander Byrd. All
nitcd in saying that Byrd was "the
greatest and most beloved explorer
The world has ever known"

Then I lined it again, and it has
been making corn, oats and timothy
for eight years.
AS soil improver, legumes go
hand in hand nth lime. They will
not grow in acid soil, but if soil is
sweet, you can save fertilizer bills by
using legumes.
Legumes are the clovers, beans,
peas, peanuts and some other crops
that have the power of gathering nj
trogen from the cir for their own
growth and storing a surplus up in
little nots, called "nodules" on the
roots of the plant for the enriching.
Gf the soil when this crop is plowcd
under, or otherwise decarys. think
the clovers are probably the only
legumes adapted to our climate. For
a quick crop to turn under, crimson
clover is the best. You can sow it
when corn is ''laid by" and have II
luxuriant growth by May to 10 to
plow under for corn or cabbage.
This, however, is a fall-sown crop. II
you want to get crop of hay and
turn the stubble, use sapling clover.
lC is better for hay than Q crimson
clover. But land that has never had
clover grown on it, has to be inocu-
lated, either by treating the SEED be-
fore sowing with what is called seed
cultures" or by sowing some dirt
from a field where the crop has
been grown. Either one is very
cheap. Either is successful. | have
tried both. Crimson, crimson red.
sapling, alsike and white clovers take
the same inoculation.
The proper use OF stable manure
is a very essential element in farm
ing. The plant food in stable ma
nure is largely ammonia, and should
be used with commercial fertilizer
containing phosphoric acid and pot
ash, according to the needs of the
crop to be planted. Manure and
acid phosphate will make good cab
bage or corn. For potatoes you
should use an analyses containing
potash. l have made heavy crops OF
potatoes with stable manure and 10
O-4 fertilizer in the furrow-back ii
the days when labor was fairly
cheap.
Now broadcast all manures, eth
er in fall or early winter to be
plowed under in spring, or put it on
top after blowing is done, either to
be disked in or cultivated in as
crop is worked. l think that if ma
nure can not be put out by Febru-
ary 1 for spring blowing, it had bet
ter be left off until after plowing.
And it does not necessarily need
covering with dirt when put out.
Manure does not lose anything by
evaporation, unless it heats. 1t
should never be thrown in a heap
and left more than a day. l like to
broadcast m manure Immediately
ahead of planting either corn, pota-
toes or cabbage, use fertilizer in
row, and work the manure to the
crop in cultivation. This method
will put most of the manure in the
ridge when potatoes are planted
The other crops need it left well
scattered because of the extensive
root systems they have.

KRAUT FACTORY ENLARGED

According to Fl. Neal Blair Of the
North State Canning Company,
sauer kraut has already been sold to
the extent of the total capacity of
the present plant. Accordingly, ma
terials are now being delivered for
the enlargement of the building and
the installation of five more large
fermenting tanks. Whether or not
the new concern will go into the
canning of other products this sea-
son has not so far been announced,
but they expect to see that the de-
mand for the fine Watauga kraut is
fully satisfied.

''I,istenI" said Jenny.

Mr.. Wren cooked his head on one side
and listened. There are some insects
around here" said he, and began to
look around.
That's what I thought, but I can't
find them" said Jenny.
What are those things kicking down
there?" asked Mr.. Wren.
Legs" replied Jenny. Twice I've
tried to catch queer fellow with long
legs and all I've got was those legs"
That noise seems to come from
around them somewhere" said Mr..
Wren, listening more intensely than
ever.
II know it." said Jenny, "but you
can see for yourself that there are no
insects around them"
It was true. There wasn't the smallest
Of insects to be seen anywhere about.
You may be sure that two pairs of
bright eyes like those Of Jenny and Mr.
Wren would have seen the smallest in
sect. 1t was very mysterious. Together
they hunted all over, but all their hunt
ing was in vain. Finally they gave up,
for they could waste no more time with
those hungry babies over in the nest.
But Jenny Wren couldn't forget that
mysterious Squeaking. She came back
later. There was no squeaking. Once
more she looked everything over thor
oughly, then finally gave it up. 1T is
too much for me-" said she. "I wonder
II I shall hear that squeaking here
again. I don't like mysteries. I don't
like not being able to find things I
know I ought to find"
Every morning the first thing Jenny
Wren went to look for that Centipede,
and every morning she stopped q min
ute or two to listen for that queer
squeaking. But she didn't see the Gen.
tipede and she didn't hear the squeak
ing. Meanwhile the babies were grow
ing fast and requiring more and more
food. She forgot all about the Cent?
pede. There was no time to think
about anything but food. It was food,
food, food from morning till night. She
and Mr.. Wren hardly had time to get
enough for themselves. Hungry babies
must be fed.

day and then she spied it. She darted
at it. AS before. it ran into crack.

from two different places.
Jenny cooked her head to one side
in order to listen to it. It sounded like
the very faint squeak of an insect.
