Pyrethrum. or painted daisy, Is one
Of the Spring Towering perennials
that deserves wider planting. The
plants are easily grown from seed but
require an intervening Winter to come
into bloom. The range of color Is
from white to deep red and by hold
ing the seedlings in the nursery row
until they bloom, the gardener Is able
to make q selection of colors for the
permanent border The white pyre-
thrum looks SO much like the ordi-
nary field daisy as to render 1t un-
desirable. The pyrethrum is the source
OF pyrethrum powder used as an in
secticide and for this purpose is grown
extensively in parts of Southern Eu-
rope. At the present time consider
able progress Is being made in this
country to develop an industry based
on the pyrethrum flower.
Climbing roses Of the Wichuriana
type, such as Dorothy Perkins, DR..
w. Van Fleet and American Pillar,
seem to have sufficient hardness for
any Winter that may visit this To-
cality. Roses Of Questionable hardi-
ness, such as Emily Gray and Jacotte
were generally killed to the soil but
are making strong recovery. The roses
that have shown tenderness should be
given less conspicuous locations in the
future.

WIFE is THANKFUL.

GOLDSBORO, N. c.. August 10
R) Mrs. r. H. Askew received the
news that her missing husband was
safe in Nashville, Tenn, today with
an expression of Divine thanks.
The news was given her by Talbot
Patrick, publisher of the Goldsboro
News Argus, whose Associated Press
wires brought the first information to
Goldsboro that the missing 28-year-
old evangelist was safe.
AS Patrick brought his car to a stop
before the Askew house, Mrs. Askew
was sitting on the front porch with
relatives.
Good news, good news" called the
publisher. Mrs. Askew, who is about
SO years old and large woman, got
up heavily from her chair and took
q stumbling step down from the
porch.
Mr.. Askew has been found in
Nashville. Tenn" Patrick said.
She lifted her hands, Palms up

For few moments then she was
overcome by emotion and could not

When she regained control of her
self, she said she was 80 happy" and
that no one could know what she

had a similar experience.
Relatives led her into the house

FARLEY D|SAVOWS
POLICY OF SECRECY.
True Picture of New Deal
Given, Postmaster General
Tells Arkansas.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, August l8.-
Postmaster General James A. Far
: ley last night said there had been
no attempt to hide the inner condi-
tions of the new deal" and that the
people have been given a true picture
from time to time Of its progress.
In city park address Farley said
President Roosevelt had often gone
directly to the people, presenting ma
tional affairs whether favorable or
temporarily unfavorable. If unfavor-
able, they have been told the cause
and the means taken to remedy the
condition. They have not been
misled."
q A great many Of the protests
against the new deal" Farley said,
especially talk Of its unconstitution-
ality, were smoke screens thrown
out to obscure the antagonism that
the enemies of the Roosevelt admin
istration feel for the very soul and
spirit of the new deal"
Farley praised the part taken in
national affairs by the people of
Arkansas, lauding especially the
work of Senator Joe Robinson. He,
Farley said, has perhaps more to
his credit in the way of service done
for his country than any single in
dividual in the national Legislature
of recent times"
Reviewing the work Of the admin
istration, Farley said President
Roosevelt has maintained a fight
that has slowly but surely enabled
hin to bring order out of chaos.
THE administration has demon
s'atcd to the citizens that a politi-
c2l platform is a thing to stand on
erI not to run on, as has been the
case of political platforms for so
meny years"
He reviewed the national recovery
act, the public works program, farm
program, monetary plans and other
agencies of the administration.

ers who have crops that they can
not get any more than a certain fixed
price.
This basic difficulty is further
emphasized by the fact that many
farmers outside the drought areas are
now spending their idle evenings fig
uring up what they would have made
If they had planted all their acreage
this year.
In view of this, there is considerable
private discussion as to whether the
administration can even attempt an
acreage curtailment program next
year. If the Government tried to sign
the farmers up for it today, you can
well imagine how far 1t would get.
Dangers Encountered.
The technique of any price fixing
step involves extreme dangers. The
new dealers have been called prac-
tically everything in the world, in
cluding Communists and Socialists,
but even the most liberal of them are
sincerely against price fixing Of any
kind. The experience of the A. A. A.
Gin milk, particularly and the N. r. A.
Gin codes) proved that you might as
well invite a hive of bees into your
house as to try to fix prices. 1t is not
only well nigh impossible to arrive at
q really fair price, but 1t is certainly
impossible to enforce 1t after you ar
rive at It.
The A. A. A.'ers and N. r. A.'ers
hare been stung eDery time they
attempted ii, and both t0iH lament
for President Roosepelt II he is
forced into it.
To make the political angle even
worse, the opposition is now setting up
Q hue and cry that 1t was wrong and
unnatural to curtail the bounties of
nature. At least one preacher emitted
sermon on that subject which
reached the front pages.
Such things may or may not be true,
but lot Of political hay can be moved
out of that field.
It explains quite adequately why the
official announcements, statements
and speeches recently have been con-
fined to generalities about stopping
prof1teering and about guaranteeing
that no one will want for food. Also,
1t Is enough to keep a man up nights.

The people outside may not know

serious political difficulties. yet en-

very easily prove to be disastrous

This does not mean there is any

pleted farm purchasing po0er.
Those things can and toil be amply
cared for. The danger lies in the
means OF taking care OF them.
Right now, every insider believes
President Roosevelt will have to i'm
pose some price-fixing restraints to
keep profiteers and spectators from
trying to run away with the show.
AS soon as he does, he must reverse
the economic and political theory on
which the A. A. A. has been running,

Certain foreign trade enthusiasts
who are not very close to the top here

encouragement in response to their
unoff1cial requests.

Fish Ends Peace.

Howe and Early to greet the Presi-

Col. Watson decided to try for a

Howe and Early saw q chance for
some easy money and decided to
wager a slight sum that Col. Watson
would come back empty handed. They
went along with Watson to the fishing
ground to make sure that he did not
try to put over any canned salmon
on them. Imagine their delight when
they found the river full Of fishermen
