GRAFT THREE CENTURIES AGO

In a recent issue of the North Car olina Historical Review, very in- teresting quarterly published Gy the North Carolina Historical Commits sion at Raleigh, the following com munication was reproduced from the Wilmington, North Carolina, Cen tinal. issue of June IS, 1788:
 "A Discovery has been made of late, that some villainous practices have been introduced by killing young COLTS and bringing them to this market, where they are sold for venison. Also the killing of DOGS and selling them for young Lambs. This has been reported by several country gentlemen of veracity to be facts.
 "Query-Should not all meat be properly inspected, that the inno- cent may not be deceived by such villains? If in future police was established, 1t would prevent such impositions, as we'll as daily prac- tices of bringing such detestable meat to market. A CITIZEN
 Evidently pure food law was needed in this country a hundred years before our Congress got around to passing one.

HUNGER FOR HOT DOGS MAY BE
 AUTOMATICALLY APPRAISED

That deyotees of the weird "hot dog" sandwich may soon be able to purchase from a newly patented de- vice that enigmatie viand, sealed and delivered in a novel and sani- tary manner. is gleaned from re- cent issue of The United States Daily.
 Just fancy being on the verge of starvation and providentially run ming into a vending machine which cooks and seasons frankfurters,, places the "weenie" in an automat- ically split roll. then transfers the completed sandwich into a sanitary wrapper and delivers 1t into the hands of the hungry wayfarer, all for the matter of few pence.
 The machine is controlled by cleo tricity, and is operated by a coin-in- the-slot method which causes frank furter and roll to move toward each other in small conveyors. the weiner pdSSl1B over uedtlilS IOli anu bhS roll being toasted in the same man ner in the process.
 Just prior to the union of the frankfurter with the roll. the latter drops into a slot, where it is slit by sharp instrument before encompass ing the sausage. And the entire op- eration from the time that the coin is inserted, to the delivery of the wrapped sandwich, Is a minute and a half!
 The machine is said to have a capacity of 500 frankfurters and 500 mmmffffmfmfmmfm fit rolls. which are handled by specially constructed magazines on opposite sides ot fhe machine and is provided with refrigerating apparatus to keep the meat fresh in summer.
 The inventor of this hungry mans succor is Alexander de Flamm, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, whose ehlef claim for the machine is its sanitary advantages, which keep the food free from dust.
 Help yourself to a "weenie!"

PUNCH BOARD SKIN GAME
 WORKED ON SMALL STORES

SWEETWATER, Texas.-A new twist to the punch board games has been discovered in Sweetwater. with the result that a man and his wife were ordered out of town by the chief of police.
 According to the chief the gang operating here worked" small gro- eery stores and filling stations on the edge of town before they were caught. The plot worked as follows:
 A car would drive up to the fill ing station and sell the proprietor a punch board for 90 cents. Certain numbers. they would say, would pay small sums of cash. others nothing.
 A few hours later another car would follow, this time a man and his wife After drinking soda wa ter they wanted to try the punch board. Invariably they found the 'pay" numbers and in a short time would have s15 to s20 in their pockets.
 Investigation connected the two cars together with the result that the man and his wife were arrested and quizzed by police. No charges were filed against them, since buy ing the punch boards is also a viola tion of the law.

vACATI0NISTS FIND INsECTTCTDE ADDS TO
 OUTING ENJOYMENT

Flies, mosquitoes. fleas and simi- lar pests have been known to keep vacation days and nights, from be- ing just perfect, especially back in the old days when one was prone tn look upon these disturbers as some thing to be put up with on the the ory that they were just naturally part of outdoor life.
 But of late years, science has giv- en considerable thought to- this problem, and has replied that vaca- tion days need not be spoiled by such pests. And. to back up its words, science has given the lover of the great outdoor the inseeticide with which to control not only flies, mosquitoes and fleas, but also hor- nets, yellow jackets, gnats, ants, spiders, ticks, waterbugs, mites, lice, bedbugs, reaches, moths and many other insects and vermin.
 It goes without saying, of course, that to be entirely satisfactory to the vacationist, such an, insecticide must fulfill one very important re- quirement-it must really kill such pests, and not just stun them for a short time. For this reason 0ronite Fly Spray has become standard equipment" for campers, hunters and fishermen-it's just as much a part of their outing equipment as tents, frying pans, fishing tackle, guns and ammunition. And all agree, when speaking of this insect tcide, that 1t surely kills them dead.
 vacationists also find it desirable, as a precautionary measure, to spray this insecticide through bu- reaus, closets and wardrobes. just before leaving, for the outing, to pro tect garments against moths while the home is closed up during their absence.
 A decidedly advantageous feature of this insecticide is the fact that when used according to directions it is non-injurious to human beings, pets, fabrics and walls.

Drought Hits Both City And
Countryside

Official reports reaching Washington
show that unless needed rains arrive
within short time the drought now
overspreading most of the States east of
the Rockies may assume the proper
tons of national calamity engulfng
cities as we'll as the countryside in its
disastrous consequences.
The danger with which farmers are
thretened as result of the destruc-
ton Of crops and the scorching of pas
ture lands formed the subject of de.
tailed report which Louis J. Taber,
president of the National Grange, laid
before President Hoover. Mr.. Taber
urged adoption of relief agencies SINH
lar to those employed during the Miss
issippi Valley floods a few years ago to
relieve distress in the rainless areas.
That cities may also suffer from
the effects of the drought on country
regions was indicated when Willinm
F. Schilling. the representative of the
dairy industry on the Federal Farm
Board, announced that a shortage in
milk and butter is threatening as a
result of the lack of green pasturage
for dairy cattle. The quality of many
other foodstuffs. particularly potatoes
and other Vegetables. is said to be de-.
teriorating from lack of moisture.
MIR. Taber's report to the President
indicated that many farmers in the
central sections of the country are
approaching ruin as result of pro-
longed dry weather. Their crops have
disappeared and the whitening of their
pastures has made it necessary to buy
feed for their stock
