"TFIJ EN- TO SELL, EN-"

One of the reasons, if not the chief one, for
the success of the mail order houses is the local
merchants, or some of them. They can't bring
themselves to believe that constant advertising
pays, and yet it has made the big merchants of the
country. 1t is making automobiles sell far ahead
of the greatest expectations of the manufacturers
in depression that has thousands taking the count
The Ellijay Times Courier makes the following
noteworthy observation: Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
during the three years of 193O-31-32, spent on an
averag eof $1,000 a day for newspaper advertis-
ing. We know merchants who did not spend sew
enteen dollars even seventeen cents for adver-
Using during this time, and are wondering what
has become of their business. "-Goldsboro News

PROMOTING CRIME

A few weeks ago keen hotel detective in Char
lotte arrested Horace P. Mcdonald with suitcase
full of machine guns, pistols and bullets Melon
aid was tried in Recorders court and sentenced to
Is months on the roads. He appealed and his bond
was fixed at $1,000 but for some reason he was
released on cash bond of $780, which he prompt
ly skipped
Hardly was he out of Jail when mail truck was
held up and huge stolen.
Judge w. F. Harding signed the order directing
his release on the S400 bond; probably through
mistake
As long as courts continue to molly-coddle gun
men and thugs in this manner crime will continue
A poor negro with pint of whiskey frequently is
sent to the roads for months, but machine gun
ner almost certainly bandit, is allowed to deposit
a small fraction of his ill-gained loot and walk
scot-free from the clutches of justice.-The SFav.

DEER BATTLE
IN FOREST TO
A DEADLOCK
Horns Sawed in Order to
Free Animals in Pis-
gah Saturday

BREVARD, Dec. 4. Especially.
A deer fight that resulted in the
loss of an antler for one of the
two combating bucks was wit
messed by several people in Pts
gah National Forest last Satur-
day, the four-point antler being
sawed off by forest ranger in
order to release the two big fell
lows after they had spent several
hours fighting and had become
locked together in such manner
that release was impossible with
out the saw.
First seen by John Deal who
resides inside the forest boun-
Diary, the two bucks are said to
have fought with all the vicious
ness that is typical of their kind
for nearly three hours. After one
of the big fellows had lost an
eye and both were badly battered
and gored about the head and
shoulders the death lock" Of
antlers that has caused innumer-
able deaths among the male deer
was witnessed by Mr.. Deal, who
seeing the impossibility of the
deers' release, sought Forest
Ranger Edmundson, who in turn
secured the aid Of a group of
CCC boys nearby and tried in
bucks, each of which would have
tipped the scales at two hundred
or more pounds.
A saw was finally decided up
on as the only possible means of
separation, and for men were de-
tailed to hold each of the COM
batants while Ranger Edmund
son performed the operation.
Aside from the damage done by
each other, and the loss of a
beautiful antler, the deer seemed
in fair condition and upon being
released each went his way APP
parently satisfied as to the out
come of the battle.

CONGRESS MAY
Halt DOLLAR
DEVALUA ton
AT Present Rate Admins.
tration Needs Over Six
Months to End Task
By FRANK p. classy
United Press Financial Editor
Copyright, 1888, United Prcs3)


NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-(UP)-
If the administration plans to de-
value the dollar the entire so per
cent authorized by congress, con-
tinuation of its present monetary
program would not accomplish
that object for seven months. ac-
cording to a United Press COM
putation made here.
Congress meets in Washington
one month from now, with the 50
called infationist group prepared
to force a showdown on federal
currency policies. The Thomas
amendment to the agricultural
adjustment act authorized the
President to decrease the gold
content of the dollar by as much
as so per cent. Neither the White
House nor the treasury has Off
cially indicated an intention 10
comply with this provision, but
many Wall Street observers pro-
TESS to see in the current gold
purchase program the eventual
application of this currency de-
basement. and predict that it will
end with the dollar stabilized at
around half its former gold value.
The ante-1933 dollar was de-
fined as a unit containing 1922
grains of fine gold. theoretically
making gold worth $20.67 an
ounce. A so per cent devaluation
would mean a doubling of the
gold value to $41.34 an ounce.
Saturdays REC. posted price
for the purchase Of newly mined
domestic gold was $34.O1 an
ounce. On October 25, when the
gold buying program was inaugu-
rated, the price was set at $3f.3G.
Thus the quotation has betn
boosted only $2.65 in about five
and one-half weeks, or an average
rise of only As cents q week. IN

OUR SAVING GRACE
CBY BRUCE CATTON)

The salvation of America lies in its abil-
ity to take a licking with smile.
A severe licking it has taken. there is no
doubt; as have nearly all other nations OF
the world. But the American people refuse
to take life so seriously as to believe that
this is the end, that happiness is only foI
the unseeing and illusioned, that the state
of affairs in which we have found ourselves
will continue adj infinitum.
The brightest exemplar of this philoso-
ply is President Roosevelt himself. No
President since Lincoln, not even Wilson,
had more reason to worry and fret over his
troubles than he does.
Yetthere-t rs hardly picture of him that
doesn'tshow his contagious smile, there Is
hardly an interview that doesn't carry d
line of happiness and. hope.
!. Imagine a Mussolini. Hitler, Stain
in the same situation. A photograph o.
any one of these dignitaries with smile
on his face is worth framing as rarity.
An expression of levity is worth remember
ing Cor all time.
Perhaps the Italians, the Germans and
the Russians have much more cause to be
somber and sad than we have in America.
To be sure, they have had to suffer the
consequences of the last war much more
than we.
But it has not helped the European peo-
pies any to acquire such dOur leaders to
help them out of their troubles.
1t is a serious business, of course, to be
wanting for clothes and naurishment. But
is there anything so serious as to lack
CLEAN of brightness and cheer somewhere
within its folds?
There is misery aplenty in this country,
and those of US who are more fortunate
than the rest should keep this in mind. At
the same time, however, we never should
relinquish that sense of humOr which dis
tinguiShes us from the other nations.
1t is our saving grace. 1t prevents revo-
luton and turmoil. 1t gives us a point of
vie wapart from our very condition and
permits us'to judge ourselves from cool
and sane attitude.
1t is such that, if we had Hitler instead
of Roosevelt to lead us, we long ago
would have laughed him down.

JAPAN QUITS LEAGUE

Japan has done it. The long threat
J ened withdrawal from the League of
Nations took place yesterday, when the
delegates to Geneva walked out on the
assembly leaving only formal notifica-
tion of withdrawal to come from Toxic
as a routine matter.
The action came following a vote by
the league on a report condemning Ja-
pans course in Manchuria Forty-two
nations voted to accept the report, Japan
alone rejecting it. When the result of
the vote was announced, Yosuke Mat
suoka, head of the japanese delegation,
led his associates from the hall with the
announcement that they would not re-
turn.
What effect Japan'S action will have
none can say Withdrawal has ranged
AZ of the nations of the league against
Japan, with the United States and Rus
sia, not league members, also tagged as
opposed to Japan's course. What action
these nations will take if any is prob
lematical.
Japan has announced its intention of
retaining mandate granted to it by the
league, over group of islands in the
Pacific. This decision has the possi-
bility of causing plenty of trouble. If
the league demands return of the is
lands to its jurisdiction, which Japan
will unquestionably refuse to do, there
is fine set-up created for trouble.
Whether Japan's course is to be con-
sidered right or wrong, the Mikado's
nation has not left the rest of the world
in doubt. 1t has been consistent in its
decisions relative to Manchuria and has
proved that it was not bluffing when it
threatened to withdraw from the league.
japanese leaders have adopted pro-
gram and are sticking to it. They are
willing to risk the nations future on its
ability to fight through the present
crisis alone and in the face of opposi-
tion, morally at least, from the rest of
the world. One may condemn the pol
icy as being might makes right but at
least it is a policy, definite and deter
mined. Japan has refused to let other
nations make its decisions and this part
of its policy might we'll be adopted by
America.

front and "Whizz!" away he went
Sliding. Faster and faster he slid
and then, all of a sudden, the wind
puffed on the umbrella, making
it pop open.
MY goodness" said Unele Wig
gily as he held the handle. This
umbrella is just like a sail. The
wind is blowing me on long, long
slide. Oh, what jolly fun! This is
better than skating!"
Surely enough, the rabbits UNI
brella was like a sail for the wind
to blow on and Uncle Wiggily slid
faster and faster The frozen duck
pond was likt as circle, as round as
a cookie and before he knew it
Uncle Wiggily was turned into a
regular one-rabbit merry y-go-rourid.
Faster and faster he whizzed
with his umbrella sail, the pond be-
ing so large that the rabbit gen.
tleman did not get dizzy as he
would have done if he had whirled
in small circle.
But at last even this fun made
Mr. Longears tired and he wanted
to stop sliding. 1t was very long
slide he was taking.
II must STOP" he said. But when
he tried to he couldn't. His paws
were SO slippery on the ice that he
kept on going around and around
like a skater though he had no
skates. This was fun at first, but
I am getting quite tired" said Un-
Gle Wiggily. "Oh, but I can't stop"
Around and around he slid. 1t
was the longest slide the rabbit had
ever taken and he couldn't have
done it if it hadn't been for the
wind blowing him along with his
umbrella as sail.
At last Mr.. Longears grew SO
tired of his long slide that he
didn't know what to do. But, like
Goody Two Shoes who couldn't
stop dancing, Uncle Wiggily
couldn't stop sliding. At last he
called:

whats the matter?' buzzed the
Snow Bug and when the rabbit told
about not being able to stop slid
ing the Bug buzzed: Let go the
umbrella and you'll stop just as a
boat stops when the sail is drop
ped"
"Ha! Hal" laughed the rabbit. Il
never thought of that" So he let
90 the umbrella which blew away
and then Uncle Wiggily's long slide
was ended. But he had fun.
The next day he found his UNI
brella in a snow drift, And if the

a head of a family is $2,50O. The
phrase "in one household" may be
interpreted as meaning the tax
payers personal residence, an
apartment, rooms in a boarding

the exemption is allowed More
over, if a parent is obliged to main
tain his dependent children with
relatives or in a boarding house,
while he lives elsewhere, the eX-
emption still applies. If, however,
without necessity, the dependent
makes his home elsewhere the BEN
efactor is not the head of family.
The same ruling applies to hus-
band and wife living together" Ii
occasionally and temporarily the
husband is away on business or
the wife on a visit, the common
home being maintained, the $500
exemption still applies. The un-
avoidable absence of husband or
wife at sanatorium does not pre-
clude the exemption. But if the
husband continuously makes his
home at one place and the wife
at another, they are not living to-
gether within the meaning of the
