WOMEN STEAL BIG ROCKS
FOR GARDEN DECORATION

Kansas City-Farmers in the vici-
nifty are looking for a new kind of
relief.
City women looking for stones for
their rock gardens have precipitated
the latest crisis.
Not a pasture fence or an old
spring house is safe if some woman
sees a rock that looks desirable, the
farmers say.
One Jackson county orchardist
went to the city for a day. When
he returned he found his stone fence
down, and the neighbours sow, had
eaten the shoots from his young ap-
pie orchard.
Another man, who likes to sit on
an oddly-shaped rock and watch the
ripping creek flow by went out and
found the stone was gone. Every
rock with a big hole in it, or with
some funny shape of any kind, is
fair prey.

women off by advertising the rocks

Many times in this series Of articles
the writer has warned players against
over bidding where the situation did
not justify it. In other words, don't
overbid unless the possible gain is
fairly equal to the possible loss. The
usual way for the thoughtless player
to make this mistake is to bid a minor
suit, clubs or diamonds, when the
bidding indicates that he has no chance
for game. Why take a chance of only
making three or four odd in clubs or
diamonds when, if you are doubled,
you may lose a big penalty2
A score less than game is only of
value about once in fifteen deals; SO it
is a good rule never to bid to make a
score less than game if there is any
risk attached. There is practically
nothing to gain by the bid and so much
to lose. One very good player at one Of
the local clubs seems to have a weak
ness for this kind of bidding. The other
night, for example, he held the follow
ing hand, AS in the diagram:

ALLOTMENT OF
RELIEF FUNDS
MADE BY HYDE
South Carolina's Share Is
Fixed At ~$l,666,755;
Federal Advance SUP
Elements Monies Regu-
larlv Available For
Highway Work.

Now that the emergency relief and
construction act is the law of the
land, the state of North Carolina can
add to her regular federal aid high
way funds the sum of $~2,S88,251.
South Cardinals share is $1,666,755.
1t was announced at the bureau of
public roads that Secretary of Agri-
culture Hyde would Immediately send
out to the various states certificates
which will entitle them to their road
construction allotment under the new
relief act.
Thomas H. Mcdonald, chief of the
bureau of public roads, said that the
new allotment may be used by the
states in the same way as regular aid
funds.
THE emergency highway appropri-
alton of ,ooo," declared Mr..
Macdonald, will be distributed to
the states in accordance with the reg
u1ar federal aid requirements on the
basis of population, area and mileage
of post. roads. As a result of the en-
actment of the relief bill, federal aid
participation in highway building
should be maintained on a par with
the year 1882, and material and i'm
mediate assistance to the unemployed
should be given by every common
wealth il the union.
While the appropriation for high
ways is only a small part of the 3d.
122,000,o00 relief measure, it is alto
gether probable that road building
will be the first major work under
taken by the states to minimize I'M
employment and encourage the return
of prosperity.
In fact, many states have plans
ready so that a number of the pro-
jects can be begun Immediately.
1t has been charged that the allot-
ment of $~2,8Ss,251 to North Cato
lima wiAsbeean added and burdensome
levy on the taxpayers in years to
come, but a careful analysis OF the act
shows that the emergency road con-
struction relief will, in time, be merg-
ed with, and made a part of, regu-
larly established federal highway aid.
As most states, including North
Carolina, take advantage of the reg
ular road aid of 100000 per
year, the $12o,ooo,o 600 made avail
able under the relief act will be added
to the regular appropriation, and be-
ginning with the year 1888 North
Carolina will pay back her share Of
the emergency relief at DE rate of 10
per cent per year over a period of 10
years.

in their respective communities, but
rather in spite of a decided tendency
to reduce subscriptions, drop member
ships,3 and defer the payment Of dues.
"These organizations under such
circumstances might well have been
expected to take the downward path;
but it is a clear evidence of their ire
mendous inherent vitality that they
have responded to the call Of the
times with even more than their Gus
tomary vigor and efficiency and in the
face of the most difficult problems
on the side of finance and manage
ment with which they have ever been
confronted"
Whether Salisbury will enter the
lists for the establishment of one of
the eight or twelve Home Loan Banks
here S for the near future to develop.
Tuesday there was held in Greensboro
a conference looking first to having
North Carolina designated as the state
in which one of the banks should be
established, then the various commun-
tiles are to present their claims as to
the ideal location for the Institution
that is to serve the district. Certainly
Salisbury is deadly located for such an
institution being easily accessible, hav-
ing two thriving Building and Loan
Associations, a community of homes
and home lovers.
If the invitation to be extended by
The Salisbury Fire Department for the
state association to hold it's 1888 an
nual meeting in this city is accepted
it will have been 20 years since this
city has had the privilege. The Cham
Der of Commerce has pledged its full
est cooperation to the local fire fight
ers in making the occasion a success
confident that the fifteen hundred o,
two thousand visitors that will be here
for three or four days, will entirely
justify the some $1,000 necessary tc
provide prizes, entertainment, ETC., fol-
the meeting.

HEMP GROWING
ADVOCATED BY
LOCAL CHAMBER

Interest in hemp growing in I'M
perial Valley has been renewed re-
Gently because OF present industrial
conditions which it is believed
would make hemp growing profit
able to the farmers of this COM
munity, according to Robert Hays,
manager of the FL Centro Chamber
of Commerce. Hays points out
that while hemp was formerly
grown in Imperial Valley, it was
found that markets were unre-
liable and production costs high
and therefore hemp growing was
abandoned.
In a recent letter from a repre-
sentative of a concern interested
in the hemp industry on the Pa
cific coast to the chamber of COM
merce the statement is made that
Imperial Valley is recognized as
one of the greatest potential pro-
ducing areas of hemp in the United
States but that due to the lack cf
adequate machinery, principally
for the processing of the raw ma
terial ready for the spinncrs. the
use of hemp has been supplanted
to a great degree by the use of
substitutes, notably sisal, hene-
quen and jute, although products
produced from these substitutes are
not generally as satisfactory as are
those of hemp.
The writer states that textile
machinery for producing finished
products has been developed and
that machinery has been built that
will permit the delivery of hemp
fibre of a superior quality to the
spinner at price equally as low
as they are paying for inferior sub
Stitutes. What is now needed, Hays
is informed, is the cooperation of
the producers of raw hemp and
those interested III its production
are turning to Imperial Valley as
producing area.
Hemp has been grown success
fully in Imperial Valley and Hays
believes local farmers would again
be interested in its growing if
markets were assured. With this
thought in mind he has invited
representatives of concerns inter-
ested in the growing of hemp to
visit Imperial Valley and go over
the situation here as to growing
conditions and handling and, if
it is found that machinery has
been developed which make an out
let for the product at a profitable
figure, it is probable that hemp
production will become one of the
important industries OF this county.
