Entitled to Opinion

After all, that man is entitled
to his opinion. Maybe the chap
was gypped right and left dur
ing his stay in our city, and
formed his opinion because of
some unfortunate experiences.
Should I punch him in the nose
because he says that New York
is the coldeSt city in the world?
Or because he says our political
system has been rotten? Or be.
cause he says he'd rather live
in London one minute than in
New York year?
I don't think so. The way he
regards the situation. the man
is quite right. The only thing I
ask of that man is to give me
the same right to express my
opinion of his city as I have
given him to talk about mine.
It was Fred Kno5e, my
diplomatic friend in Tunis, who
gave me a grand answer when
I complained bitterly to him
about the trouble I was having
and had had-with the Gus
toms officials in his city.
Not only do think they're
unfair" I stated bitterly, "but I
think they purposely set out. to
misunderstood. I'm not crook,
nor am visiting Tunis to take
advantage of someone. The best
I can do is to leave some money
here. And isn't that to their
advantage?
"I've told you what they did
to my clothes and how they ex-
amined every article as though
I were the worst type of SNUG
gler. Does that make sense?
Must 1 go through all this nui-
sance just because I'm a visi-
tor to a foreign port? I'm an
American-but must they take
advantage of me just because
of that fact?"
Mr.. Knobel shrugged his
shoulders.

CIaudette Colbert
Will Not Leave
Paramount
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1882. King Features
Syndicate, Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 27.
Well, it's a woman'S privilege.
Claudette Colbert has decided to
resign with Paramount after all.
For few days there 1t looked
as if the Frecnh star was going
through with her threat to break
away, but Paramount officials
finally have persuaded her other
wise. Withdrawal of a request
that she take a salary cut is be-
lieved to have been an important
consideration.
The little dispute proved one
thing to everybody's satisfaction.
Leaving Paramount wouldn't mean
idleness for Claudette. Half a
dozen studios wanted her. Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer proffered a long
term contract. Universal said
money was no object if she would
sign for one picture.
None of this, of course, was
lost on Paramount. Proof is they
came into line.

No London Visit

No London Visit
I, for example, am not going
to London on this trip. And why
not? Simply because, when /
was there four years ago, I
didn't enjoy myself. The
weather was bad. The shows
I saw weren't much better.
When I went into a night
club. I didn't have much fun,
I met the wrong people, and
they did not appeal to me.
It's for exactly the same rea.
sons that a number of visitors
dislike New York. Suppose l
we're an Englishman and I
visited New York for a short
period. Suppose I met the
wrong people, was overcharged
in a night club, saw a bad
opening night, got caught in a
subway mob, went to a restau-
rant where the food wasn't

How, then, would I feel about
New York? I'd go back to Eng.
land and tell them exactly
what I thought. If my observa-
tions were unpleasant, what Of
it? If those things happened
to me. those are the things to
tell.
That's what I've been trying
to do in all these columns. and
that's what I'll continue to at
tempt. When I like something,
I'm saying so. And when I
don't like something, I'm say
ing so, too.
That's the most certain way
to get into trouble. But hell
what IS life without a little
trouble? Give me the man who
meets nothing but success in
life, and I'll show you a man
who is bored. And who wants
to be bored in that fashion?
Well, for one, I would.
I think people are just a
little foolish to be too vain
about the cities in which they
reside. I love New York, and
the further I get from it the
more I realize how much I
miss it. Yet I fail to go into

speculation.
Reports that purchases were for mu-

chief explosive ingredient, were denied
by japanese officials. They explained
that their textile industry was merely

Dahlias Add Beauty
To Any Farm Home

A soil that will produce good veg
etables will grow dahlias and no more
beautiful spot can be had about any
home than a dahlia garden. Locate it
in a sunny spot with partial shade in
the afternoon and protected from the
drying winds of summer for best suc-
cess.
These, in brief, are suggestions made
by Robert Schmidt of the h%orticultur-
al department at State College to
those who wish to have some of these
beautiful flowers about the place this
season. If the soil is rich, no, fertilizer
treatment is needed when the clumps
are planted but if the soil is poor and
run down, it may be wise to turn
under a liberal application of we'll
rotted stable manure. Whatever the
treatment at planting time, when the
dahlia plants get about IS inches high,
top-dress them with a good potato
fertilizer but do not let the fertilizer
come closer than about 6 inches from
the hill.

Poor Apple Crop
Forecast For Season

Late freezing weather this spring
and heavy crops produced for two
years under unfavorable seasonal con-
ditions has brought about a situation
in the apple orchards of North Caro-
lima that causes a poor crop to be fore
casted for this fall.
H. R. Niswonger, extension horti-
c%ulturist at State College, predicts a
IS percent crop. He has recently been
working with the apple growers in
the Brushy Mountain section and in
the Henderson county area. One of
the most productive orchards in Wilkes
county, which has not missed a crop
in II years, has only a few scattering
fruit buds. The Limbertwig variety is
one of the most popular apples in the
section and always blooms heavily. Yet
many Limbertwig trees are showing
not a single blossom this season. Mr..
Niswonger attributes the heavy yields
for two years coupled with the I'M
favorable growing conditions as the
reason for this condition. The trees are
weakened, he says.

Craze Velvet Beans
With Beef Cattle

An economical way to winter or
fatten beef cattle is to Craze them on
velvet beans planted in corn. A double
purpose of improving the soil and fat
tening the animals is thus served.
L. l. Case, beef cattle expert at
State College, recommends the Hun
dred Day Speckled as the best variety
for this purpose. This bean is also
known in some localities as the Early
Speckled or Ninety Day Speckled.
The bean seed may be planted in the
corn when it is first planted or be-
tween the corn rows at the first cul-
tivation. The latter plan allows the
corn to make some growth ahead of
the beans and is therefore lot pulled
down by the bean vines to such a
great extent later in the season.

Grow More Capons
As Farm Sideline

Nothing is more appetizing on the
family table than a we'll grown and
finished capon and they may be sold
readily on local markets. Cooperative
shipments by a group of growers may
be made to excellent advantage es-
pecially around the Easter holidays
when cash on the farm is generally at
a low ebb.
Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State
College poultry department, sees in
capon production one of the undevel-
oped industries of poultry farming in
this State. He says the early Chinese
and Egyptians knew about this de-
lightful meat and practiced caponiz-
ing in ancient days. The Greeks and
Romans learned the art and gave the
industry to Europe where the con-
sumption of capon meat is generally
followed.

SUGGESTIONS FOR

Medicine chests should not be al
lowed t. become storage closets for a
lot of old prescription bottles. The
quality of medicine changes with time
and it often spoils and loses its pow
er to cure. A prescription meant for
one person should not be used for an
other.
Throw out old stale medicine and
unlabeled bottles. To keep labels clean,
pour medicines from side of bottle op-

Label every bottle clearly. Look
twice at the label before giving med
