Build For Future
By Al Club Work

Every rural community that would
build for the future and that desires
to cultivate its greatest asset will en-
courage the organization and develop
ment of All club work. There is no
other rural organization which will
help to develop the social, moral, ply
steal and economic phases of rural life
to a greater extent.
These are the rather startling claims
made by committees of farmers and
farm women who have been attend
ing the regional agricultural confer
ences held by the State College ex-
tension service during the past two
months.
The committee reports said that by
organizing All clubs, the community
would provide an opportunity for all
the boys and girls to participate in
the liv~e-at-home movement; would
offer a means of developing a spirit
of cooperation and organization; train
ing in the economical production of
crops and livestock; an organized pro-
gram of wholesome recreation for the
home and community groups; train
ing in homemaking and also training
in thrift, leadership, and citizenship.
At each of the gatherings, the COM
mittee appointed to study and make
recommendations about All club
work gave the project unanimous ap-
proval and requested the home and
farm agents and local leader to pro-
mote the movement wherever posi-
bic. The projects recommended to
club mmbers, however, should be big
enough to challenge their best efforts
and any financial return from them
should go entirely to the members.

FRIENDSHIP

Much has been written about
friendship, yet as he Charlotte News
says, cit is only for one to experience
for ones self its charm and its power
to come into adequate appreciation of
just what it is and what it means
Here is the way one writer sums it
up:
81 love you not only for what you
are, but for what I am when l am
with you.
Il love you not only for what you
have made of yourself, but for what
you are making of me.
II love you for the part of me that
you bring me.
II love you for putting into my
heaped-up heart and passing all the
foolish and frivolous and weak things
that you can't help dimly seeing there,
and for drawing out into the light all
the beautiful, radiant belongings that
no one else had looked far enough to
find.
81 love you for ignoring the posi-
bilities of the fool and weakling in
me; and for laying firm hold on the
possibilities of the good in me.
II love you for closing your ears to
the discords in me, and for adding to
the music in me by w~orshipful listen
ing.
Il love you because you are helping
me to make of the lumber of my life
not a tavern, but a temple, and of the
words of my every day not a reproach.
but a song.
II love you because you have done
more than any creed could have done
to make me good, and more than any
fate could have done to make me
happy.
"You have done it without a touch,
without a word, without a sign. You
have done it just by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend
means, after ALL"

Mutual Exchanges
To Be Encouraged

Marketing by group action through
the medium of mutual exchanges
seems to offer the farmer with small.
surpluses of various products the bes,
method Of selling these. products Of
any other agency now active in North
Carolina.
This is the opinion of committee
of farmers and farm women who havt
studied this marketing problem at tho
several regional agricultural confer
ences held over the State during De
cember and January. The committee
recognized that the present marketing
system in the State is unsatisfactory
and as a result nine definite recon-
mendations were made.
First, said the reports, o inter
est should be aroused in the local ex:
changes now in existence. When
new exchange is organized, caution
should be exercised in handling any
product which is not now being han
died successfully by other exchang
es. Areas not now served by exchang
es should form such local organiza
tons as early as possible.
1t was further recommended tina,
increased membership and patronag'
be secured wherever possible S % thai
the volume of goods sold might be in.
creased to the point of highest eff
cheney. Local exchanges are urged t.
join the State exchange and the mem
bership be extended to include womer
as we'll as men.

Science Plans Wider
Study in Pole Areas

Fairbanks. Alaska.-Scientists of
the world. equipped with the latest
modern instruments available for
magnetic study, are preparing for
the most thorough observations ever
made of scientific and meteorologi-
cal mysteries of the polar regions.
The second polar year" begins
August / next year when the sci
entists will start their studies Of the
earth's mysteries, magnetism, prob
lens of radio reception and auroral
disturbances. Exploration of the
polar seas will be made and data
gathered on tides, currents and
beaches.
Twelve nations took part in the
first polar year. half a century ago
and the data obtained has proved
to be the basis Of innumerable me-
neurological developments.
Scientific progress has advanced
so rapidly since, however, that the
need for a new campaign has be
come apparent.
Worldwide observations will be
made in both Arctic and Antarctic
regions.

KILLS WIFE IN
FAMILY FIGHT
Brother Wrests Gun from His
Fathers Hands to Save
Sister at Berlin, Md.
MANS BODY In PIGPEN

A family quarrel near Bishops,
Md, last Tuesday resulted in the
murder of the mother of five chill
dren, the suicide of the father and
the threatening of the eldest
daughter, who was saved by one of
the sons. Mrs. Ida May Wells
Baker, AZ, was fatally wounded by
shotgun charge in the chest and
died as she was taken into a ply
sician's office at Berlin, Md. The
body of Elijah G. Baker, Sr., As,
was found by Sheriff's officials
some time later in back of a pig
pen. The top of his head had been
blown off by shotgun discharge.
Mrs. Edward Jarvis, 21-year-old
daughter, of st. Martins, Md, was
saved when Elijah Baker, IL,
wrenched the shotgun from the
hands of his father and fired the
remaining shot into the air. Cor
oner William ]. Bratton directed
that an inquest should be held in
the case. He said apparently it
was murder and suicide Sheriff
William S. Purnell said Baker and
his wife had been arguing for the
past two days. He said she threat
ened to leave her husband and had
gone to pack her belongings. The
account, as the sheriff reconstruct
ed it from statements of the chill
dren, was that Baker got a double
barreled shotgun. He went out
side the farmhouse at Bishops,
pushed the gun through window
and fired one charge at his wife,
hitting her in the chest Accord
ing to Sheriff Purnell, Baker then
aimed his gun at Mars Jarvis, but
the 17-year-old son struggled with
him and tn weapon was discharg-
ed harmlesslly in the air. The
father then fed. Three other chill
dren, Nancy, 20; George 13, and
Arlie, 26, assisted Mrs. Jarvis and
Elijah, Jr., in stopping passing
bakery wagon. Mrs. Baker was
taken in the wagon to the office of
DR.. Charles A. Holland, at Berlin,
but she died as the children were
carrying her into the Office. Sheriff
Purnell and his deputies began a
search for Baker. He was last
seen after the shooting walking
down the railroad tracks from the
house toward some woods. The
posse, in its search, came upon his
body in the back Of a pigpen near
the house.

NEW TURBINE FOR
DOVER PLANT
Contract Awarded For 1850
X. w. Turbine and Con-
denser For $4,000
DELIVERED IN 2 MONTHS

Due to the steady increase in the
consumption of electric current in
Dover, City Council has found it
necessary to increase the capacity
of the municipal water and light
plant to take care Of this increased
demand for current. Four years
ago, the city installed a $50 k. W.
turbine and condenser, and the
peak load at the present time has
about reached the capacity of this
unit. City Council was forced to
do one of two things, either in
crease its plant or purchase excess
requirements from a local power
company nearby. When the latter
proposition was considered, Council
found itself faced with the propo-
sition of building new transmits
sion line from the power plant Of
fering such current and also a
monthly payment of a stipulated
sum whether the current was used
or not. Council finally decided to
authorize City Manager Shank to
secure bids on a new turbine and
condenser. AS a follow up Of this
order, a contract has been awarded
the Westinghouse Company for a
1850 k. w. turbine and condenser
at contract price of S35, 900,
which is to be delivered within two
months and will be installed in
time to take care of the increased
load. 1t is believed by City Coun-
Gil that this addition will take care
of Dover's electric light needs for
many years and will eventually re-
suit in a lowering of the electric
light rates for the City.

The woman, a house servant in

p. o. DELIVERY
SCHEME FIGHT
Government To Insist On Its
Right To Monopoly of the
Carrying of Mail
$500 FINE OTHERWISE

Alert to plans for avoiding new
high postage rates, the govern
ment is going to insist on its right
to the monopoly of carrying let
ters. The increase in postage rates
from to cents, effective July 6,
has caused public utility compan-
les and other organizations using
the mails to distribute their month
ly bills to consider other means.
In some cities use of men now un-
employed has been suggested. The
increased postage and the tax on
bank checks, with which many bills
are paid, are said by business men
to involve a contribution of IL
cents on each bill paid by mail
with a check. At that rate every
100000 bills would mean a con-
tribution of $11,0 to the govern
ment. Hiring private carriers at
modest wages would save money
for both the companies and their
customers, they say. The postof-
flee department, however, points
out the postal laws do not permit
anyone to enter into competition
with the postal service in carrying
letters. There is no objection to
a company using its own employees
for deliveries, but two or more
companies will not be allowed to
use the same employee, nor hire a
messenger or other delivery service
to deliver their bills. The law pro
vides a fine of not more than $500
or Imprisonment of not more than
six months, or both, for using such
means. The person delivering bills
for more than one company would
be liable to fine of not more than
$50 for each letter. w. Irving
Glover, second assistant postmast-
er general, has directed all post
masters to report promptly any
cases coming to their attention He
told postmasters numerous reports
had been received that on account
of the postage increase individuals
and companies were planning to
make deliveries, under contract or
on a piecework basis. This will
be prevented wherever possible.
