Auto Insurance Rates

UTOMOBILE insurance rates are up to the man
~ behind the steering wheel Until the American
motorist drives carefully, thus decreasing
the number automobile deaths and INJURIES he is go
ing to continue to face high rates.
Casualty insurance is a form of business where
the buyer makes the price the seller may charge The
policyholder in other words makes his own rates
matter whether it be automobile, burglary, personal
liability any other form. When the ratio of losses
to premiums mounts, the rates rise. When it drops
they go down. All the companies do is to combine the
results of their dealings with the policyholders deter
mining by that process what the premium charge shall
be.
1t follows therefore, that so long as the motor
list of the United States continues to increase the ac
cident record he must continue to pay and
for vital protection The nation, the states and
cities may build modern highways; they may install
effective signals and seek for absolute enforcement of
traffic regulation yet in the last analysis they can

Centenary of an Idea
IT HIS year marks the Tooth anniversary of an in
cident which led to the invention of the telegraph
although it was not until four years later that
workable instrument produced.
On October 1, 1882, Samuel F. B. Morse, an Ameri-
painter who had been studying the old masters in
Europe sailed from Havre, France, for New York.
On the voyage he discussed with fellow passengers the
properties of the electromagnetic and the famous dis
covery of electromagnetic induction by Faraday the
year before.
AS result, he got the idea that signals might be
transmitted by of electric sparks and while still
shipboard he made rough drafts of the necessary
apparatus, which he showed to his companions. 1t
was not until 1885, however, that he completed in
strument that would work.
After many dscouragemests he finally succeeded
in getting the government to build telegraph line be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, which was used for
the first time May 81 1874 to send the now historic
message "What hath God wrought" From that time
on the spread of telegraph lines rapid and Morse
was acclaimed by the world as a benefactor of man.

He received the highest honors from foreign coun-

RIGHT OF WAY
FOR CARS URGED

Passenger cars on the highways are
entitled to right of way over COM
mercial vehicles just as passenger
trains have the right of way over
freight trains on the railways, in the
opinion of Coleman w. Roberts, pres
ident of the Carolina. Motor club. Oh
seryance of such regulations will be
in the interest-of safety, he believes.
"Usurpation of highways by COM
mercial vehicles, particularly in cities
where delivery trucks are prone tc
dart in and out of traffic create Sc
we're and unnecessary hazards by con-
tinued contest for lead positions in
traffic." Mr.. Roberts said.
Commercial vehicles should be
compelled to stop and give right Of
way at each cross road and intersec-
ton. Trucks of retail establishments
can by observing this practice, in
crease the business for their concerns
by creating an observance of courtesy
on the Streets"

YOST W0MAN'S CLUB

The Yost Community Woman's
club held its regular meeting Tues
day, April $, at the home of Mr.. l. C.
Robinson at 2 P. M. The meeting was
opened with the use of songs and a
short devotional. The business session
was presided over by Mrs. B. T.
Propst.
A year book for county home dem
onstration clubs was discussed and a
number of the members desire to have
a copy; however, there are no copies
available, but if there are enough peo-
pie who want copies other books will
be printed-perhaps in July.
The District meeting of the State
Federation of Home Demonstration
clubs meeting which will be held in
Winston-Salem April 7, was discussed.
Several members of the club plan to
join in the motorcade and go to the
meeting. The club paid the fee and is
a member of the club.
A contribution was given to the
Jane S. McKimmons Memorial loan
fund, named in honor of Miss Nc
Kimmons, state demonstration agent.
It's a very worthy cause and all the
members felt enthusiastic over it.
A report of the Bicentennial Cele-
bration of George Washington was
given and fifteen different varieties
of trees were planted, so far, by club
members.
The booklet "What the Country
Women of the World is Doing" was
passed around and examined. All the
countries of the world is discussed and
illustrated. According to the booklet,
North Carolina is the most highly de-
veloped in the world in this work and
North Carolina holds an important
place in the book; which is of much
interest to Rowan county country wo-
men as we'll as Others.
After the business the meeting was
turned over to Miss Whisnant, who
gave a demonstration on Curtains and
Curtain Hanging" We use curtains
for three purposes: temper the light,
secure privacy and to add color and
design to the room. Curtains are suit
able for simple honey interiors and are
made of transparent materials. Colors
selected for curtains should blend with
the other colors in the room. The diff
ferent styles and types Of materials
were shown and illustrated. Also the
length, finish, and hanging of curtains
were illustrated and discussed.

consumers of sugar in the world. Den

largely to her condensed milk indus

to 1916 pounds, although local con-

:C0RRIHER ITEMS.

Mrs. Jim McNeely is seriously i'll at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. c.. A.
Corriher. She was born on ground hog
day and is now Is years old. Quite a
bit of her time is spent in piecing
quilts. She has already pieced 8 quilts
this winter. She spent the week with
Mrs. C. A. Corriher last week and had
planned to go from there to visit her
son, Hugh McNeely of Mooresville;
also George McNeely of near Mt. VI
la. Then come back in our neighbor-
hood and visit Mrs. J. A. Corriher. We
hope she will soon be able to carry
out her plans.
Mrs. Albert Mclaughlin has pieced
a quilt this winter that has 1853 piec-

FACING LIQUOR
CHARGES IN THE
COUNTY COURT
Wanted By Forsyth Comm-
ty Officers ON Charges
Of Bridge Party Jewel
ry Robbery.

The cases against Wallace Scales, Of
Greensboro, AL Fox, of Charlotte, and
John Neal, of Washington, D. c., al
legged liquor runners and bridge party
bandits, were continued Thursday I'M
til today by Judge Gooch, of the
county court.
Bonds for Neal and Scales were de-
MED and they are being held without
bond. Fox was allowed a bond of
$4,000 which he was unable to raise.
Winston-Salem police have request
ed that Scales be turned over to them
after the hearing on the liquor charge.
He is alleged to have been one of two
bandits who held up Mrs. A. H. Gal
loway and three guests who were play
ing bridge at her home in March, 1881,
and robbed them Of jewelry valued at
$4,000.
Scales and his two companions
came to Salisbury yesterday, parked
their car and were standing near it
arguing when Officers James Krider:
who was in plainclothes, and John
Poole walked nearby.
The vehemence of the argument at
tracted the attention of the officers
and they started to investigae. As they
approached, the three fled.
Fox was run down and captured
and Scales was arrested when he re-
turned to the car an hour later. Neal
boarded a bus for Greensboro and was
arrested there when officers here ad-
vised Greensboro police to watch for
him.
When arrested, Scales gave his name
as ]. l. Davis of Cincinnati, O., but
later admitted his identity when con-
fronted by Winston-Salem officers.

Winston-Salem last summer with an
automobile load of liquor. Scales gave
his name then as John Davis and I'M

Building Fertile Soil
Is Simple And Cheap

The reason folks in North Carolina
will not build up their soils is that it
is so easy to do, so simple and SO
cheap.
This statement is attributed to Tom
Purdie, successful Cumberland Coun-
ty farmer, who made the remark in a
farmers meeting attended by Enos C.
Blair, extension agronomist at State
College. Mr.. Blair says this reminded
him Of the Biblical story in which the
prophet Elisha told Naaman, the lep-
er, to battle seven times in the River
Jordan to cure his disease. Naaman
wanted to do some great thing" and
was with difficulty persuaded to &C
cept the prophets cure.
by the simple practice of growing
a large amount of soybeans in his
corn, Mr.. Purdie has built up his soil
to the point where nitrogenous fer
tilizers do more harm than good
says Mr.. Blair. "Mr. Pardue makes q
bale of cotton to the acre without
nitrogen fertilizer. The corn and soy.
beans combination is planted on each
field one year out of every three, thu
field going to cotton in the other two
years."
Any farmer in North Carolina car
start this plan this year, Mr.. Blai1
suggests. All he needs is one bushel Of
soybeans costing less than one dollar
At the start, every soybean seed shoule
be saved so that eight or ten bushel
may be had next year and then en-.
ough later to plant in every field o.
corn on the place.
Another way is to buy one bushe
of lespedeza seed, costing two dollars
and sow this on an acre Of small grair
this spring. From this small amount
five to ten bushels may be saved fo'
seed next year. Mr.. Blair says he real
ICES times are hard, but there is NJ
farmer who cannot make this simpl
start in building up. his soils to pre-.
pare for better days to come.

These two may be mixed together
before distribution if the mixture is
kept dry, Mr.. Blair says. If the mix
ture should become wet, some loss of
ammonia may occur but there is less
likelihood of loss where dolomitic
limestone is used in the mixture. Mari
and other forms of calcium carbonate
may be used. Burned or hydrated lime
should never be mixed with sulphate
