RIDDEN MAKES
 GOOD ADDRESS
 DOUGLAS MEET
Years School Work Also Exhibited at Session of
 Parent-Teacher Assn.

Displaying clear, deep-sighted knowledge of the present day eco homie situation, Henry F. Roden, Juneau attorney, discussed modern veXatious problems that confront the United States, before the Doug las Parent Teacher Association last night. Several musical numbers followed the short business meet ing. The School exhibits in the four grade rooms and in the high school interested the large crowd in attendance.
 In viewing the school desks and seeing the boys and girls, MT. Ro- den expressed regret that he had not taken more advantage of the opportunities when he was boy in Switzerland He said how fine it would be if those who have had experience could only give the young people little of it. Teach ing is the highest profession any man or woman may pursue The teachers are shaping the future men and women of the country and are responsible for the contin- uation of good government and citizenship. A capable teacher has more influence than the father and mother.
 Discusses Money
 In the course of his talk, MT. Roden dealt with number of sub jects, chiefly money. He explained how imitation and deflation affect the pocketbook of the average citi- zen. In order to gain the proper perspective of any given situation, 1t is necessary to read the most radical papers and the most con- servative; a middle course is prob ably the truth, he said
 Money is a medium of exchange was MT. Roden's definition and has no intrinsic value. During in flation, money is plentiful but goods scarce and high in price. In 1902, in Fairbanks, money was abundant but it was necessary to pay $50 for a 50-pound sack of flour Today the President seeks to inflate the money supply of the United States. In February, 1883, deflation was at it's height and goods were so cheap that many merchants were losing money on their sales.
 For Reconstruction
 President Roosevelt is asking for more money for government relief projects and we wonder where the money is coming from, went on MT. Roden. However, if the govern ment can carry a debt of $27,000,- 000,000 for war, then it can carry the same debt for reconstruction.
 In order to win back foreign commerce the President has se- cured authority to devalue the dol lar fifty per cent, said MT. Roden This step makes it possible for the manufacturer to dispose of some Of his goods in foreign markets.
 Communism, according to MT. Roden, is complete elimination of private ownership, the state own ing everything. Fascism and Hit lerism are the direct opposite of Communism and are the last stand of the capitalistic system. Socialism

takes a middle ground, believing that the government should con- trol big industries, like railroads.
 Eastern Situation
 MT. Roden's final subject was the Eastern situation. Today Japan is bold, having the moral support of England and the financial support of France. These countries want to see the U. s. kept busy in the Pa cific and not have any time for European trade and other affairs. Since Japan has defeated Russia, she has discovered that the whites can be beaten. The only consoling factor is that there are several thousand miles of water between the two nations.

who sign the reduction contracts
will not only get rental checks at

Corn-Ho9 Contract
Simple Business Deal

The corn-hog adjustment con-
tract may be regarded as a simple
business deal between the farm and
the Secretary of Agriculture, it is
pointed out by W. w. Shay, swine
extension specialist at State COL
lege.
The contracting producer agrees
under the contract to make a def
mite reduction for 1884 of 20 per-
cent in his corn acreage and twenty
five percent in his hog production
for market. He also agrees to
abide by other sections of the con-
tract, such as regulation of the use
of contracted acres.
The Secretary of Agriculture is
obligated under the contract to
make certain payments to the pro-
ducer for fulfilling the contracr
terms. For each Gre of land 8
|fered BY producers and accepted
for contract, the Secretary will pay
in one or more installmens a total
of so cents per bushel on the esti-
mated yield of corn-from the con-
tracted acres. The Secretary OBJ
ligates himself to pay IS cents of
! this amount as soon as practicable
after he accpets the contract, and
to pay IS cents per uashel more,
less the producers pro ratio share of
local of administrative expensives,
on Or after November IS, 1884,
upon such proof of compliance with
the contract as may be required.
The Secretary also agrees under
the contract to pay the producer
a total of s. per head on Is per-
cent Of the annual average number
of hogs produced for market by
the producer from 1882 and 1888
@litters.
OF this amount, 81 will be paid
as soon as practicable after the con-
tract is accepted. The remainder,
less the producers pro rata share of
local administrative expenses, will
be paid in two installments, the first
on or about November IS, 1894.

New Cotton Program
Expands 1888 Gains

The value of the 1898 cotton
crop to growers of the South
amounted in round figures to
$S56,776,ooo, including both lint
and seed. This includes rental
payments of $111,500,000 and OPP
ton payments of 4s,ooo,o 900, and
is based on a production of 13,177,-
900 bales for the season.
The value of the 1882 cotton
crop, including lint and seed, was
only $425,48S,o0 and is based on
reproduction of 13,200,000 in that
year.
Comparing these two sets of
figures we see that there was about
the same production of cotton in
each year, yet the crop of 1888
brouht to the farmers about twice
as much cash as the crop of 1892"

Agricultural Extension Service at

Save Legume Seed
To Improve Land

North Carolina agriculture is
seriously handicapped by a lack of
legumes to enrich the soil. If every
farmer should grow his own seed,
legume production could be easily
increased by 1000, 600 acres in the
next two Of three years.
"The present scarcity of all kinds
of legume seed demonstrates that
farmers cannot depend upon the

Blair, extension agronomisr At

Mr.. Blair says any farmer desir-

little difficulty, increase his crop of

Federal Liquor Enforcement
Laws Are On Changed Basis

Marked changes in Federal liquor
law enforcement operations in
North Carolina have resulted from
the situation created by repeal
of the eighteenth Amendment and
the national prohibition law passed
Hereunder, according to u. S. Dis
trict Attorney ]. R. McCrary.
1t is no longer a crime in itself to
make, possess or transport liquor
even in North Carolina under led
eral law, but it is a violation to
make, transport or conceal spirits
on which Federal revenue tax has
not been paid. 1t is also unlawful
under Federal law now to move
taxpaid liquor from a wet state into
North Carolina if the shipment is
intended for delivery here.
There are no longer any prohi-
bition agents in the state though a
good many of the men who former
ly served as prohibition or investi-
CATION agents are still in service.
They now serve in dual carac ties
They are agents of the alcoholic
unit and are also rated as
collectors. Persons indicted
for distilling, Transporting or pos
quantities of liquor in North
may be indicted also un-
der the Federal law for failing to
pay Uncle Sam tax on the booze.
Some have already been so charged.
in this district and the district at
torney indicated that all important
state dry law violators will stand in
peril of Federal action under the
laws. Government agents
will also initiate action against suc'
violators on the same ground.
If an automobile or other vehicle
is seized by a Federal agent while
it is being used in transportation of
untaxed spirits it will be subject to
the same confiscation as prevailed
under revenue laws before prohibi-
ton. If tie value is under $500
Federal Officers may proceed to
have the property appraised and
Court procedure is necessary
where value is over $500. Innocent
lien-holders against cars or other
property seized under the revenue
law cannot come in and prove their
claim as was the case under the
prohibition law, points out the dis
trict attorney. The property must
be sold and the lien-holder will
then have twelve months within
which to petition the treasury de-
partment for a refund to cover in
terest or equity in the property.
Once taxpaid spirits get into the
state, the Federal officers will not
be interested in the fact that state
law is violated by its possession or
sale. 1t will be the duty of these
officers, however, to proceed against
anyone engaged in running taxpaid
spirits into North Carolina or any
other dry state where evidence can
be procured, he added.
Although there are 13,41e Vol
stead law violation cases Still pend
ing in the nation and depending
upon the decision of the supreme
court in the test case argued at
Washington last week in the ap-
peal of which Mr.. McCrary played
an important part, the docket in
the middle district contains less
than a hundred, he said.-Lexington'

years back.

the nag she picked in the first
had just romped in. Her boy
friend was very excited.
What did I tell you?' he
howled exultantly. I knew you'd

stumbled two lads, both beauti-
fully boiled. Between them, they
held a young lady who was also
well boiled.
"Up to the door staggered the
three. And one of the boys be-
gan to pound loudly on the door.

head out of the second story
window.
