Snakes have no need Of physicians:
devils, I am sure, have their own
needles; and adders may become
"puffed up" but they surely have no
aviators in the family.
Hovering over streams and ponds
where hordes of gnats, mosquitoes and
flies disport themselves, the dragon fly
consumes thousands of these pests. AS
she darts about the air, with her alert
eyes spotting the insects which try to
evade her, she gathers them into her
basket, which she forms of her slender
legs. With strong jaws she soon has re-
duced the prey to digestible food and
thrown away the remainder. Her act
of catching her prey is almost too quick
for the human eye.

muscles, enables her to make speed

They went for walks in the spring
twilight and drank in the sweetness
of lilac hedges, heavily laden with
blossoms. of syringas and fruit trees.
The neighborhood of Kensington
Circle was old-fashioned enough TO
include several homes with gardens
behind high board fences. The
fences could not shut in the sweet
ness of the flowers.
Then on the morning Of the

slipped beneath the door. It was
almost the first that had come to

DAN opened the door quietly and
- entered. He had been gone
nearly an hour. Hello" he said tc
Cherry.
The girl had turned at the sound
of the key in the lock, but now she
did not glance up. She was sitting
in the window seat, looking very
small with her feet curled beneath
her. her face white against the
cloudy mass Of dark hair.
The night through the window
behind her was dark, too. Cherry
had been staring at that starless
Vky.
Hello"
Phillips put down his hat and
.yrossed the room. I'm sorry" he
began abruptly. Il didn't mean the
things said tonight. well,

Cherry had been hurt

eyes now, but the wisp Of handker-

She moved to make room for hin

sigh.

But you can't be sure. You

AVERAGE INCOME

The average annual per inhabitant income of North
Carolinians for the eleven-year period from 1920 to
1880 inclusive was three hundred and f%orty-four dol
lars, or approximately one dollar per person per day
for the eleven-year period. Our rank among the states
was fortieth for the entire period.
The average annual income of the United States
for the eleven-year period was a little over seventy-two
billion dollars, or six hundred and %thirty-two dollars
per inhabitant per year for the period. The states vary
widely in income from Nevada which leads with an
average annual income of eight huhdred and fifty
eight dollars to Mississippi with an eleven year average
income of two hundred and twelve dollars per inha-
bitant.
The average per capita income for the thirteen
Southern States was three hundred and twenty-five
dollars. North Carolina'9 average for the period was
twenty-five dollars per capita above the average for
the South. Only Virginia, Florida, Texas and Okla
homa in the South rank above North Carolina in per
inhabitant income. Vrginia's average for the period
was only one dollar per person per year above North
Caroinas average.
The annual income in North Carolina has huctuat-
ed considerably during the eleven-ycar period. The
largest drop was from 1920 to 1921 when incomes fell
off more than three hundred million dollars The lar
gest gain was from 1922 to 1928 when the States
income increa ed around two hundred and forty mil
lion dollars.
Discussing the figures, which he compiled for the
University News Letter, S. H. Hobbs, Jr, says:
'Just what our income was last year, or approxima-
tely what it will be this year, we do not know. Ger
tainly it has dropped off considerably since 1880.
Whether we are wore off than other states we do not
know. But over a period of years North Carolina
ranks fortieth in per inhabitant income and only four
Southern States rank ahead of u.s."

He Was Too Young To Be A Hero
And Get A Bonus
To The Editor:
All this whoop and hurrah on the
part of the ex-toldiers is nothing
more than the desire to get something
for nothing.
| All who were hurt in actual service
are being cared for, as proved by the
fact that they are getting one dollar
of every four spent by Congress.
Those yelling the loudest spent a few
weeks or months in a camp on this
side, kept by the Government, cared
for, made behave and sent home in
much better condition than when
they arrived.
Now these "heroes" are yelling
their head. off for some one to keep
them. A great bunch of patriots (?)
The taxpayers have just as much
reason to give bonuses and pensions
to every National Guardsman and
Boy Scout (Girl Scouts, too), who
ever spent a night under a tent.

OUR LYNCHING RECORD

According to records compiled at Tuskegee Insti-
tute there were five ~lynchings in the United States in
the first six months of 1882. This number is the
.Ame as the number for the first six months of 1881,
but is Is less than the total of 80 for the first six
months of 1922.
During the first six months of 1882 there were -
instances in which officers of the law prevented lyn-
chings. Of these two were in northern and western
states and IL in southern states. In nine of the in
stances the prisoners were removed or the guards aug
mented; in the four other instances force was used to
repel the would-be ~lynchers; thus a total Of Is persons,
five whites and Is negroes, were iaved from death at
the hands of mobs- t4
OF the persons lynched two were white and three
were negroes. The offenses charged were attempted
rape, one; rape one; murder, one; threatening men,
one; dynamiting a store, one.
The states in which ~lynchings occurred and the
number in each state are as follows: Florida, one; Kan
say one; Kentucky, one; Ohio, one; Texas one.

ALWAYS ARE FORGIVEN

Politics is funny. Take the case of Lieutenant
Governor r. T. Fountain, for instance.
He went about the State in the gubernatorial pri-
mary severely censuring the party which has honored
him; berating public officials of the State; denounc-
ing his opponents; hurting charges right and left.
And we don't mean to infer that he's the only can
didate who ever did this He was the rule rather than
the exception, in fact, for under our system of cam
~paigning mott of our office seekers do this, apparently
satisfied that all will be forgiven under the plea of

LET'S PUT SALISBURY IN THE FRONT AND
KEEP IT HER

Competitions in the Olympic games between cham
pion athletes of the leading nations of the world are
thrilling because of the human factors involved-the
urge to win for nation. state and town. There is a
thrill of pride when a fellow countryman, or mayhap
a native son from our state. or even a fellow
townsman flashes across the line a winner in these
classic games. 1t is youth parading its nearness
to perfection in athletic form but it seldom is
attained except through great struggle in long hours
of discouraging work and practice.
AS a matter of fact a sense of competition must
enter into everything individuals and groups do, if
they are to carry on to the point of successful achi-
evement j.. With groups, especially, it is in the
proportion that the individuals comprising the group,
get into the spirit of competitor, that the success of
the effort is scored.
All of which brings up to the fact that the growth
and the development-the achievement of Salisbury
itself an ideal community in which to live, depends
entirely upon the approach each individual citizen
makes to his responsibility in helping to make Sails
bury a winner.
There rightfully is and must be a sense of compe-
tition between towns in respective territories. There
must be a struggle for leadership. Call it town or any
other name-it must be there, the spirit to have our
town a winner fine place to live and work, and
enjoy life.
Can you imagine a situation where athletes of the
United States would, as individuals, be roofing against
their fsllow-countrymen, in events in which they
themselves were not competing? Z. Neither can we
&. But in civic affairs, right here in Salisbury, this
situation exists every time a citizen takes his money
and goes to foreign shops for needed supplies or am
easements.
Every citizen in this town is in fact carrying Sal
isbury colors-and all his feIlow-towners are expect
ing him to do nothing less than his very best to help
make Salisbury a winner. If each citizen in his res
pective event" will pull for his town with the same
inspired enthusiasm that American athletes carry into
the Olympic games at Los Angeles, we will one day
have a town here of which to be extremely proud.
Trade at home; support home merchants; take ac-
tive part in civic affairs; boost Salisbury and keep
the wheels of business turning. Step into the spirit
of the game-of~ helping to make Salisbury a better
town.
