Soviets Are Taking
 Notice Of Progress
 After First Years

MOSCOW, USSR., Nov. 26-It is confident and buoyant govern ment which is preparing to cele- brate it's seventeenth birthday here
 The bolshevist leaders who will mount Lenin's tomb that day to re- view the usual parade of soldiers sailors, workers and peasants, have overcome many of the obstacles which the Soviet union faced when it laid Lenin to rest 10 years ago.
 The particular reason for rejoic- ing among the Kremlin leaders this year is the success of the collective farming plan. With nearly 70 per cent of the farm camilies of the Soviet union in collectives and with a crop collection this year which the government says is as large as last years in spite of bad weather conditions, Stalin and his associates feel the agricultural problem is well on it's way to solution and the bat tie with kulaks is practically at an end
 State farms have not made good showing, but they are being split up into smaller units so as to cor rect the lack of labor which has handicapped the farms run under the direct supervision of the gov ernment.
 Siberia is the weakest spot in the agricultural program. That vast territory made a poor showing in grain contributions, falling far short of the plan. The government attri- butes this to inefficient party direc- ton and a general shakeup is in pro gress in Celiabinsk and other sec tions where the kulak influence has not been overcome.
 While light industry has made a rather disappointing showing so far this year, heavy industry has al- most fulfilled it's plan so far and special effort is being made to finish the twelve-months with a perfect record. Copper, lead and brass have fallen far behind pig iron, steel and other branches of heavy industry

Old Pioneer Nome
 Is Called To Rest

Oscar Munson, longtime home stead resident of Homer, and a sui ferer from incurable cancer, answer ed the last call Monday morning, a sudden hemorrhage being the imm- ediate cause of death, says the Sew ard Gateway of Nov. 15.
 Born in Sweden June 4, 1885, MT. Munson for years followed the sea. In Alaska first he settled at Nome, where he was twice married. His second wife passed away not more than two months ago at Homer. : Both in Bristol Bay and on lower Cook Inlet, Mir Munson engaged in fishing, but was chiefly known for his activities as transporter, his boat operating between Homer and Sel- dovia. In this business he had asso ciated with him at different times his son, Fred, now in the Cook Inlet area, Ed. Anderson and Tom She'll ford.
 MT. Munson was a sturdy resource ful man, his constant sobriety and persistent industry being marked factors that governed his life.
 He is survived by two adult child ren, Bertha and Fred Munson, and it is understood that younger child ren also occupy the famaily home at Homer. A step-daughter, Grace, the wife of Laurence Olson, lives at Sel dovia.

Marriage Has
Gain In State
Licenses Issued Last Half Of 1888
More Than Double Number
For 1882.

King Cupid has staged a come
back in North Carolina along with
Kings Cotton and Tobacco. The
comeback was aided by general bust
ness improvement and by 1888
statutes which lessened restrictions
surrounding the issuance of mar
rage licenses.
Figures released by the State Re-
venue department show that 49,
1898 marriage licenses were issued
from July l, 1888, to December 81,
1888, as compared with only 6,457
during the same period in 1882.
The state receives s. from each
license issued and the various coun-
ties are allowed to levy an additi-
onal tax of 81. The registers of
deeds fee of 81 makes the total cost
|$5.
Macon county showed the most
outstanding increase in issuance of
marriage licenses during the period.
|Only two licenses were issued DUR
ing the six-month period of 1882
while the number jumped to 2Os
for the same period in 1888.
Clay and Randolph counties did
not show much of a marriage come
back. Clay issued four during the
1892 perod and only seven during
1888 while Randolph increased 100
per cent. from three to six.
Wake county showed an increase
of more than 100 per cent, the 1882
Figures being 249 and those for
1888 529. Pitt was the only
county showing a larger number of
Licenses in 1888 than Wake. That
county had $40 in 1888 as compar-
ed with 234 for the preceding year.
Figures for other counties show
ing larger issuance of licenses are:
Camden, 220 and $50; Durham,
1874 and 42S; Forsyth, l25 and
464; Guilford, 1874 and 354;
Johnston, 217 and AT; Mecklen-
burg, 1873 and 376 and Wayne, 226

Labor Supports
State Sales Tax

Greensboro - Organized labor
in North Carolina is strongly in
support of the general sales tax, de-
spite the opposition of some of the
leaders of the union men, says P. G.
Siler, Greensboro, a former vice
president of the North Carolina
Federation of Labor.
In a strongly worded statement,
Mr.. Siler, a member of a building
trades union, declares the sales tax
has been of distinct benefit to la
boring men, particularly to those
in the building trades since it has
lifted part of the burden of home
ownership and is ono more making
HON building an attractive invest
ment. His statement follows:
"Any statment to the effect that
.|laboring men as a whole are OPP
posed to the sales tax are untruth-
full and misleading.
II personally know large num-
|bers of members or oganized labor
who believe the sales tax has been
of distinct benefit to the laboring
man in North Carolina.
Labor is undoubtedly better off
than it was a year ago. Wages are
higher and unemployment is less
I have not found the laboring mai
to be a shirker in the matter of
paying taxes, and I do not believe
the mass of labor in North Caro-
lima is opposed to paying the few
cents a day imposed by the sales
tax, particularly in view of the
fact that it is providing an eight
months education for the children
lof labor as we'll as every other class
lin the state.

|Corn-Hog
Program Adds
To Income

North Carolina producers Of
Corn and hogs are failing to share
in liberal benefit payments by not
taking more interest in the corn
hog adjustment program.
w. w. Shay, swine extension
specialist at State College, says that
only 1927 contracts have beer
signed in IA counties to date. This
is an average of about IS contract:
to the county, yet the facts show
that there are ar average of 46S
farms in these II counties report
ing some hogs grown.
Shay finds further that there are
41,189 farms in the whole State
where some hogs are grown. This
is an average of Az farms to each
of the 100 counties.
IF only SO farmers in each of the
100 counties would sign for a re-
lduction Of as much as seven head of
|pigs per farm, the income in bene-
fit payments would amount to ap-
proxmately one-half a million dol
lars this year." Shay says. "A
farmer can sign to reduce by as
much as one pig and get SIS for
the animal; yet, many of our
growers who are selling hogs are
required to pay the processing tax
and are o protecting themselves
by joining in on the reduction pro-
gram"
Only two counties have COM
|pleted their sign-up campaigns to
date. Mr.. Shay believes there are
a large number of farmers who
would like to have a part in the
program if they knew about it. He
has one contract from a man who
is reducing his hogs by 1e4 head
under the base period of 1882 and
1888 and will get a benefit pay
ment amounting to $2,460.
In addition, corn production may
be curtailed and the grower will be
paid so cents a bushel according to
the past production of the land.
Mr.. Shay states that the sign-up
campaign will be closed on May 1
and he is hopeful that more North
Carolina farmers will take an in
%terest in the program before it is
too late.
