was lost together with a number of

The losses in each fire were estimated
at $4,000.
A farm hand discovered flames in the

tramp, who had sought shelter in the
barn, dropped a lighted match or cigar

started by two men who were stealing

A TAX ON MANUFACTURES.

The Democratic House Ways and Means Com mtee officially reported have definitely agreed upon the levy of a Federal tax on manufactured goods This idea was first put forward by the Petroleum Institute which suggested a tax of one per cent. By estimating the value of manufactured products of the country at S6o00o0ooOOO the reve- nues were estimated at $6OoOOO0Oo It may be that the figure is too high since the total value of manufactures is based upon reports for 1927.
 Such levy is not entirely new, although it would be in the United States Canada employs the plan and has rate of four per cent
 Inevitably the tax will add directly to the cost of living, but not so much a general sales tax which has it's influential sponsors in Congress. It, naturally will be easier to administer than the general sales tax. There would be easy way for duplication under it. and unlike special taxes all industries would be put under it.

10TH SENTIMENTAL AND SELFISH.

Most of the arguments concerning trading at ho me have been worn out with constant repetition Yt the subject is still vital and an important 1ue.
 During the past few years there have been inn rtant changes in merchandising The argument by most local merchants is not now so much to trade at home as to trade with the particular type of store that they represent. Mail order business has declined and most of the mail order houses have established their retail outlets
 The method of distributing merchandise over the counter, personal transportation between buyer and seller, was never firmly established than today That is favorable fact for local merchants.
 The local merchant still has his competition. It is usually in the next town or nearby city
 The appeal to people to buy at home must be put upon more than mere sentimental grounds, though there is force to the argument of loyalty to friends, neghbors and customers.
 Many people in small communities state that they cannot buy as cheaply at home as in some distant point. Sometimes facts bear out this argu- ment. But when people live in small community they must expect to do business the basis that is essential to success of business in smaller town It is selfish to expect your customers to pay the prices that you ask and yet be unwilling to pay fair prices for what you buy of them Business must be done at profit. If you get profit yourself you must expect to pay one to the other fellow
 We not discouraged about the small town and city Some folks say that decline of tht smaller centers is inevitable There is little to prove it. Population is not growing as rapidly in smaller communities in the cities. But the cities have grown too rapidiy-too many of their people have no work Population is no asset unless that popula- ton is well employed.
 On every hand there is evidence of improvement in small communities. That improvement consists of better streets schools highways homes and stores And with all of these things there is a most reason ing evidence of community loyalty-a spirit which makes for sound development and for general good will
 When you trade at home you help other people to trade with you These both sentimental and selfish seasons for trading with your neighbors

A Tremendous Battle.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The American Legion born of battle in the turmoil of danger and epic distress It still is ply ing it's militant way in the interests of humanitys cause. It just has entered upon of it's most vital and impressive campaigns the nationwide campaign to obtain jobs for 100000 unemployed. It will act in cooperation with the American Fed eration of Labor, the National Association of Ad- vertisers and other organizations represented in the National Employment Commission.
 In more than 1000 towns and cities, supported by than 10000 posts of the Legion and 30000 local unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, committees will cooperate in the great work of finding jobs for the jobless. This means something more substantial and more enduring than i'll advised proposals to present the idle with par ental Governments dole American unemployed want jobs not precarious and dubious Federal charity.
 The Legion movement has the indorsement and support of President Hoover William Green, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, the National Catholic Welfare Council the Central Conference of Rabbis, the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks and other leading church, fraternal and civic bodies.
 This movement constitutes another of the mighty forces assembling to crush the national obses- sion of depression. It is a part of the vast CO., operative design proposed by President Hoover who public life in politics and in business without thought of partisanship It suggests what might be accomplished in the interests of the nations economic and social affairs the guiding principle of cooperation could be applied in normal time O. peace as in time of national emergency. It repre- sents true patriotism and sound economies.

Jerseyite admirers of Joseph P.

SENATOR LEWIS POINTS TO PERIL.

In recent radio address, broadcast under the auspices of Washington, D, C.. newspaper. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, predicted conflict in the not distant future between the United States on 6e one side and Japan and Russia on the other. 10th of those nations he declared, would not find t difficult to discover pretext for hostites.
 His prophecy was made in review of present conditions in the Orient and possible early future developments there It is particularly interesting to Alaskans because the Territory was vsioned as the bone of contention with Russia. In this connection Senator Lewis said:
 Let it be expected that America will
 confront a union of Japan and Russia. This
 will confront the United States with de-
 fiance and at such hour, my fellow country
 men, we will be fortunate if, under the
 euise of some alleged offense by the United
 States Russia will be not melted by influences
 to seize Alaska, her former possession, now
 disclosed as rich in all resources. At the
 same time of this invasion Japan will move
 to take the Philippines for all their uses.
 This move, as will be observed surely by all
 military tacticians would divide the Amerl-
 can defenses thousands of miles apart and
 in these distractions bring us to a point
 of danger where it is assumed by the Asiatic
 master that to avoid the results of con-
 flict between ourselves and the now com
 bined Asia the United States would yield
 to a new proposed relationship accepting
 an international equality with the new al-
 lance Of Asia The Illinois soon's prediction is interesting wheth- CT it has soundly based, highly imaginary picture And it serves to bring to mind that Alaska is the most defenseess of Uncle Sam's territories single two-company infantry garrison comprises the armed forced maintained here by the Govern ment Although it's strategic position is well recog- nized by American military and naval critics, there is no naval base store of supplies for fleets and sirplanes to use in case of emergency, and not a single military naval plane has its station with cut its boundaries.
 We are not uneasy about war with Russia, and sleep soundly without fear of being awakened by the guns of Japanese squadron of warsflips. How gver the lack of any threat of war should not deter the Government from making proper provision through skeleton organizations at least for defend ing it's rich treasure house here should the occasion eyer arise

NUGGET BRIDGE PR0BLE M NO.
 g SOLUTION N

Problem: If West doubles and is not redoubled what should he lead?
 If West doubles and is redoubled by North, what should he lead?
 If West doubles and is redoubled by South, what should he lead2
 Solution: West should pass-not double
 If West doubles, the chances are he will never be called upon to lead to Diamonds. Either North or South have been guilty of Psychic Bids" and either one may switch the suit to another that may mean victory As matter of fact, this hand happened, and when West doubled, North became alarmed, bid six Spades and made it, whereas West would have defeated their Diamond contract by three tricks.
 This rather tricky problem, we hesitated to pass on to you, but as it. is the only one in the book that exemplifies the incautious double, we decided to use it.
 The following hand was handed to us by a friend who clipped it from the Washington, D.C9 Post. If you are one of those who saw it there and the solution, please keep quiet while we give our local talent a chance at it.

Mcclure Declines Job
Has to Get Diploma. and SO Cannot
Work for Mrs Booker

c. K. Parks, self-help student,
was going away, and he advised
Mrs. John NJ. Booker to call on
Speck Mcclure when she needed
anybody for service about the
place. SO she telephoned Nc
Clure and asked him if he could
stay with the children while she
attended the commencement eX-
erciSes in the stadium Monday
evening.
Mcclure came to the UniVer-
sity four years ago. He made
his own way through by hard
work of various sorts. He
achieved Phi Beta Kappa; he
was elected editor Of the caro-
lima Mdgdzine, he became one of
the most prominent students on
the campus.
Mrs. Booker did not know that
the Mcclure recommended by
Parks was the same Mcclure
whose name she had seen so Of
ten in the college periodicals.
She did not know that the cere-
mony that evening was the great
event Of his University career.
When he demurred to her re-
quest, over the telephone, she
implored him to come to the res
cue. "Now, Mr. Mcclure" she
said, cant you possibly ar
range, somehow, to do this for
me?"
Speck was hesitant and apollo
getic. What he said could not
be heard distinctly, but at last
Mrs. Booker got the drift: he
was a senior, and he had to be at
the stadium himself, to march
in the procession and receive his
diploma.

TRUSTEES DECIDE
ON INCREASE OF
OUTSIDERS FEES
A Nonresident Student Will
Hereafter Pay SITS for
University Tuition
A FINANCIAL NECESSITY

The University trustees de-
clded. at their meeting here
Tuesday morning, to raise the
annual tuition fee, Of students
from outside of North Carolina,
from $50 to SITS.
The question of a differentiaI
or out-of-state students has been
topic of discussion, among trus-
tees, faculty, and alumni for sew
eral years, and recently, because
of the critical financial situation,
lit has become a matter of con-
Germ to the state government.
One of the most outspOken advo-
Gates of an increase in the nom
residents $ fee has been Allen J.
Maxwell, commissioner Of reve-
nue..
The differential was put into
effect four or five years ago. At
first it was $25; it was gradu-
ally increased, and now, as
result of the trustees action this
week, a nonresident pays 800
more than a student whose home
is in North Carolina.
The cost of education here is
considerably less than at the
leading Northern universities
and colleges, and this has at
tracted steadily mounting
number Of students from the
North. There has come to be a
general agreement that, mas
much as the University derives
its main support from the tax
payers of North Carolina, young
men and young women whose
parents do not pay taxes in this
state should be required to pay
higher fees than are paid by
North Carolina students.
The University administra-
ton lays down certain rules
which define a nonresident.
Sometimes a student from an
other state remains here until
he is 2l years old, becomes tax
payer, and so is classed as a
resident.
