war, If and when It comes, and
OF bringing the public to an ap,
probation of strategems which
may be used by opposing forces.
The importance to the public
of the war, as forecast, is prob
ably best emphasized by pointing
out that the purse at stake IS
merely the item OF an annual
business of some $4,500,000, 900!
Signs Of War
Several of the most recent in
dications that war is imminent
among educators were given late
last week and early this week
in press dispatches from Min
neapolis, where school admins
trative officers of the National
Education Association are in
annual convention.
A pledge and a plan by Amer
lean teachers and professors to
carry on an active campaign
against forces which "seek to Gre
ate peasant class in the United
States, through reduction of free
and universal education" was
outlined.
The spokesman for the Amer
lean and democratic group, in
contradistinction to the other
fraction which would create a
peasant class in this country,
said, in his report to the conven-
ton.
"We have been meek long
enough. The time has come to
go out against those who, be-
cause of Selfishness or ignOr-
ance, or both, would make chill
dren the victims of the times.
Does the principle still hold
that every child shall be pro-
vided the particular OppOrtuni-
ties which are required in order
that he may develop such tai
ents as he may possess?
"The teachers will stand four
square with parents and with
all intelligent citizens of the
nation to fight the imposition
of peasant standards"
The function of this series of
articles is to set down, in black
and white, for all to see, issues
in education; contentious. theo.
ries and claims of opposing fac.
tions; intimate details of Incl,
dents, events, circumstances and
conditions as they have developed
to date and as they have influ.

not to declare war.

FARM MIGRATION
IS SLOWING DOWN
Federal Official Finds That
Fewer Are Leaving Cities
for Rural Areas.

The back-to-tfrs land movement is
slowing down, in the opinion of DR..
T. B. Nanny of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics
DR.. Nanny has just returned to
Washington from a field survey in quest
OF facts regarding recent farm popula-
tion changes in Is States, which are
being gathered for a complete report
to be issued later this Spring Fewer
city unemployed who have no rural
relatives are moving farmward, he says,
since 1t has become increasingly diff
cult for them to find shelter in rural
areas, and especially in rural places
near industrial centefS
Gardens Retard Trend.
The setting up of suburban garden
plots for the unemployed, by relief
agencies in towns and cities, he adds,
has been another factor in retarding
the farm-bound movement of persons
who have no country relatives nor
farming experience. The greater avail
ability of relief funds in cities as con-
trasted with rural communities has also
slowed down the farmWard movement.
DR.. Nanny cites as an example of the
mounting difficulties in getting out on
the land the case of a Southern city
where the relief agencies we're con-
fronted with the problem of caring for
1000 unemployed families who had had
some farm experience, in addition to
many unemployed people without farm
background. The relief agencies sought
habitable farms within radius of Is
miles, and could find only five unoccu-
pied homesteads They finally con-
cluded to set up large garden project
in areas adjacent to the city as an al
tentative to moving the unemployed
out on the land.
: DR.. Nanny reports that literally

thousands of city people without farm
experience are striving to subsist on
formerly abandoned lands. in cut-over
areas, and in abandoned lumber camps.
Many long unused shacks now in de-
plorable condition are being used for
homes. the inhabitants endeavoring with
meager equipment to grow food among
the rocks and stumps.
Older Group Larger.
In normal times there was farm
ward movement composed of older peo-
pie who had saved against the day of
becoming too old to work in the city,
and who bought small farms in outlying
districts, where they could stretch"
their funds and spend their declining
years in small-scale farming activities.
DR.. Nanny finds that this group has
been considerably augmented in the
last three years.
The return of younger people and
their families to family homesteads has
been an important factor, he says, in
decreasing the demand for hired hands
on these farms.
In Southern mountain areas there
has been a revival of farm handicraft
industries such as the making of rugs
and other textiles furniture, baskets,
and pottery, for sale along the roads.

SYNTHETIC STONE
FOR BUILDING MADE
Chemical Society Told of
Material Formed From
Limestone Waste.

Development of synthetic building
stone from limestone quarry wastes,
which may be applied to the construc-
tion both of the small home and t:ie
modern skyscraper, is reported to the
American Chemical Society by Prof. r
Norris Shreve of Purdue University
For durability, adaptability, attractive
ness and economy, the synthetic stone
compares favorably with its natural
rivals, according to Prof. Shreve, who
conducted the research with Prof H. c.
PETER, head of the department of
chemical engineering at Purdue, and r.
L. Harrison of Lafayette, Ind.
Perfected at Purdue.
The stone was perfected in the Pur-
due laboratories. 1t is made of pulver-
lied shale reacting with an alkaline
earth base to knit together particules
of. limestone wSSte from the quarries
in Southwestern Indiana.
This new product resulting from the
chemists test tube and modern manu-
-s--. - -.:,---g .:--cthods," says Prof Shreve,
promises to play an important role in
buildings of the future, because of cost
on par with those now in use, its
lasting qualities and its fireproof char
acter."
The stone is made by thoroughly
mixing the pulverized material in
proper proportions and moistening to
the dampnesS of the earth, then COM
pressing it in a polished steel form un-
der pressure of $500 pounds to the
square inch.
Low Cost Material.
The economic value of the stone,
Prof Shreve adds is based on the use
of commonly occurring materials and
the utilization of quarry waste and
dumps
Availability of raw materials" he
concludes, will permit low transporta-
ton cost for finished materials This,
coupled with the relatively simple and
consequently low cost of the chemical
processing and fabrication, produces
relatively low cost structural material"

~OLORFUL kitchens are like
charming companions gay,
stimulating and thoroughly de-
~ lightful
If your kitchen isn't as at
tractive as you can make lt-if 1t isn't
really delightful companion"
cheating yourself out of some of the en-
joyment that's your due.
There is constant pleasure to be
gained from working in a place that
is pleasing to the eye, and if your
kitchen color scheme is bright and at
tractive-youll find that housekeeping
will lose its monotony and be less of
task.
Importance of Walls
Kitchen walls are important. Not so
long ago We used to think that walls
should be dark SO they wouldn't show
the dirt. Now We know that dark walls
are depressing. We've discovered that
light walls will save electric light bills
by rejecting light into dark corners.
A gloss paint or similar. surface is
best for your walls because it is easy
to wipe off with a damp cloth.
Then, there is the linoleum. If you
don't like to get down on your hands
and knees with a scrub brush, give the
linoleum coating of four hour var
nish or linoleum lacquer and keep it
well waxed. Then, all you have to do
is go over the linoleum with damp
mop and it will be clean as new pin.
Gay Paint For Shelves.
Have you ever tried painting the
shelves in your cupboard a gay color?
You'll be delighted with the result if
YOU choose a shade that will harmon
ize or contrast with the color of your
walls. If, for instance the walls of your
kitchen are soft blue and your wood
work is cream, paint the shelves and
back of your cupboard soft apricot
color and see how prettily your dishes

AS To Wheat Use

Farmers who bring wheat to

per bushel which has been imposed
by the federal government provid-
ed the flour is to be used for con-
sumption by them, their own fam
lilies, their own employees and
their own household, providing
they sign an affidavit to that eff
feet. This is the substance of an
announcement sent millers in Sal
and Rowan county by G.
H. Robertson, collector of revenue.
Local millers state that some of
the farmers are unable to under
stand why they must sign aflda-
wits, and this explanation is given
in order that the farmers may I'M
derstand why they are required to
do so. The mills are required to
keep a strict record of the grind
ing which they do, and where af-
fdavits are not secured the tax OF
so cents per bushel must be paid.

with a cost of $3.50 last fall, and
as compared with $4.2o, or $2.1o
each, if the hunting and fishing
licenses are purchased separately,
Director ]. w. HARRISON, of the
department of conservation and
development, points out, as a result
of the 1888 legislative action.
All classes of hunting licenses
were substantially reduced, the
new fees being as follows: resident
county hunting license, 80 cents;
resident, statewide, S2.1O; nom
resident, SOTO. Last year these
were $1.25, $3.25 and S15.25.
Fishing license remain the same
as last year, except for the provi-
sion for a daily permit for nom
residents at 60 cents. The other
rates are resident county, when
adopted by the county, $1.1o; re-
sident statewide, $2.10; non-resi-
dent, season, $50. In counties en-
forcing the county fishing license
a daily permit is granted county
residents at SO cents. Statewide

Much OF Land Taken Ont OF
Cotton Expected To Be Planted
In Feed Crops

Farm administrators this week
ordered acceptance of all contract
offers signed by cotton growers to
reduce their acreages which have
been approved by county agents
and county committees IN the
campaign to reduce the output of
the staple in the sixteen growing
states this year by 100000 bales.
They authorized county agents
to issue permits to farmers to begin
blowing up their A'owing crop,
whenever it was covered by a con-
tract which has been approved, SO
that farmers may plant feed crops
for home consumption without
waiting for formal acceptance of
each individual contract.
Last week administrators said
they intended to forward an in
dividual acceptance to each farm
er and warned them against plow-
ing up their crop until this had
been receibed.
The message sent to the county
agents said:
1.-The secretary of agriculture

proval of all producer contracts
where same are approved by coun-
ty agents and county committees.
