STATE BANKS SHOWN
TO BE IN FINE SHAPE

A tribute to the strength Of the
banking structure in North Carolina
is made by j. F. T. O'Connor, comp
troller of the currency. In an article
appearing in the current issue of The
Wachovia, publication issued by the
Wachvoia Bank and Trust company
of Winston-Salem.
Writing on the subject of the
History of Banking in North Caro-
lina," Mr.. O'Connor traces some of
the early developments of banking in
this state and points to the fact that
the resources of banks in North
Carolina are again nearing the total
reached in 1929.
Statistics in the comptroller's of
fice," staets Mr.. O'Connor, indicate
that the banking structure in North
Carolina has fully recovered from
the crisis which followed 1929. De-
posts in your banks are nearing the
total reported for June 80, 1929, on
which date deposits in all banks in.
the state aggregated 1881 100000. On
December 81, 1884, these deposits
were approximately $3O8,O0O, 900.
During the period from June 80, 1888
to March 4, 1885, deposits have al
most doubled.
"North Carolina has 242 licensed
banks, and 239 of these are members
of the Federal Deposit Insurance
corporation. The number of insured
depositors is 589,574, and 99.97 per
cent Of these are insured in full. This
report places your state above the
national average both in the percent
age of operating banks which are
insured and in the percentage Of de-
positors insured in full. This is a re-
port that could not have been made
without a determined effort on the
part of the bankers and the state
banking department. North Carolina
bankers are to be congratulated upon
having so materially strengthened
the basis for public confidence and
upon giving such generous measure
of substantial protection to their de-
positors."
The current issue Of the publication
also carries complete account of the
recent reunion of the entire organiza-
ton of more than 300 staff members
held recently in Winston-Salem.

MEETINGS TO BE
HELD BY STATE NURSE

The State Board of Health will
hold the yearly midwife classes in
this county at the time and place
indicated in the schedule given below.
All practicing midwives, also those
wishing permits to practice, are re-
quested to attend at least one of
these classes. Those who attend will
receive instructions, and may enter
into discussions, concerning the i'm
portant matters to be brought up in
these meetings.
We are asking the midwives to
invite the mothers of babies, and
particularly expectant mothers, to at
tend these classes also, where practi-
cal talks will be made along the lines
of safeguarding the health of both
the mothers and the babies. AS the
result of poor care before and during
childbirth, each year in this State
many mothers and babies die.
Bring your midwife bag and the
things you have in it for inspection.
Permits may be renewed at this time,
and new applicant smay be registered
for practice.
In order that you may get first
class, or Grade A Permit, the high
est grade, it will be necessary for
you to bring not only your midwife
bag and the things required in it,
but also written report from a doc
tor showing negative Wassermann,
or blood test. If you already have
such report, do not go to the troub-
lie of having another made, but bring
the one you have.
Come to the meeting most con-
vienent to you. Be sure to be on time.

FARM PRICE SITUATION
AND OUTLOOK REVIEWED

Corn prices may continue relatively
firmer than other feed grains during
the spring and early summer, but the
general trend Of feed grain prices
will likely be downward, say farm
management specialists.
Although hog slaughter this sum-
mer will be the smallest in at least
Is years, seasonal advances in hog
prices will tend to be restricted by the
relatively low level Of consumer buy
ing power.
A substantial decrease in cattle
slaughter during the remainder of
the year is likely; however, with
normal feed crop production, SUBJ
stantial increase in cattle feeding
may get underway late in the year.
Sales of poultry and eggs are like
ly to continue below average levels
for the next three or four months and
prices promise to be higher than a
year ago.
AS more pastures become available,
production of butter will probably
show more than the usual seasonal
increase and the decline in prices
from late winter to midsummer will
probably be greater than average.
The farm price of butterfat in mid
April, 1885, of 1873 cents per pounds
was &c cents higher than in March,
1884, and 1878 cents more than year
earlier.
Domestic exports of cotton so far
this season have been about 40 per
cent below last year. Consumption of
American coffin in foreign countries
so far this season has been 26 per
cent below year earlier.

u. S. NAVY rs PUSHING
SHIP BUILDING PLANS

Washington.-Still insisting that
tive don't want to start a building
rivalry with other powers. Secretary
Swanson disclosed the navy was NOV
ing swiftly to tax advantage of the
$460,000,O00 appropriation bill signed
by President Roosevelt.
With ink scarcely dry on the sup
ply law, Swanson said bids on Is of
the "a new vessels provided for will
be opened August z.
Threaded through navy talk of it's
big building program was constant
reference to the recent Pacific ma
neuvers. Mention was, made of nys-
terious problem Is" but Admiral
William H. STANDBY, chief Of opera
tions, would only say that it was to
adjust efticers and men to Pacific
geography.
The naval building program slid
down the ways just as European ma
tions were wading into new arma-
ment ration talk.
Swanson said that by the August z
date for opening bids navy yards also
will have prepared cost estimates.
The proportion of government and
private building will then be decided.
The Vinson act, authorizing the con-
struction program to be completed by
1912, specified that except for an air
craft carrier, at least half the vessels
must be built in navy yards.
The thirteen vessels on which
bids will be asked shortly include the
carrier, one light cruiser, three 1850
ton destroyers, five $500 ton destoy-
ers and three submarines. Other YES
sells to be started later included
anothr light cruiser, ten $500 ton de-
stroyers, and three submarines.
STANDBY made his Pacific maneu-
vers report after witnessing the con-
Guiding stages and checking over the
war games results.
"With the ships and planes now
available in the forces afloat," Stand
ley reported, personnel of the fleet,
(both offers and men) have, by at
tanning their present high state of
efficiency justified the trust and con-
fidence, not only of the navy depart
ment, but Of the nation at large"
Standley said one lesson of the
maneuvers, which involved half the
navy's effective air strength of 500
planes, was that aircraft hvae not
"supplanted" any type of surface
vessel. Instead, he said, planes, in
their present state of development,
complement" the function of surface
craft.

YOUTH LIKES TO PUT WILD
ANIMALS THROUGH PAGES

Brownsville, IeX.-A SlXth-gfader
who is a veteran lion trainer is put
ting the "big cats" through their
PAGES for his third season.
He is Manuel King, 11-year-old
son of w. A. (Snake) King, wild ami
NAL dealer, and said to be the only
child lion trainer in the world. This
summer is ManuePs second season on
the road with his troupe Of 10 lions
and Trixie, his dog.
81 like it better than bicycle rid
ing" Manuel explained, "and you
ought to see my bicycle!"
Played With Cubs
His career as a lion trainer came
about by chance, when he was per-
mitted to play with cubs whelped by
two lionesses on his fathers wild
animal farm. Trixie, a Belgian shep-
herd, became afoster mother to the
cubs, taken from their real mothers
lest they be destroyed in fit of
temper.
When Chubby" Guilfoyle, old-time
lion trainer whose empty right sleeve
bears testimony to the dangers of
his profession, was employed to train
the cubs, he noticed how Manuel
fingered around the cages. Sadly the
lad regarded his recent pets, now
taken from him.
Would you like to train them?"
Guilfoyle asked.
The boy said he would, and with
the elder Kings permission Guilfoyle
began to train both the cubs and the
lad.
To Quit When He's Fl
"It's fun" Manuel said, "but have
to quit when I'm Il. All my money
is going into an annuity bond, and
the bond says if don't quit when
get to be Fl, I don't get the salary"
Father, son, Guilfolye and couple
of helpers planned to travel in
luxurious house car built for Texas
millionaire and recently bought by
King.
The Kings seem unperturbed at the
thought of ManuePs invading cage
of lions while his schoolmates enter
confectioneries, movie houses and
ball parks.
"The first thing l did," said Gull
foyle, twas to instill into him a heal
thy respect for the lions, so he would
always be on guard against getting
hurt"

The Boring Sea ice pack moved in today to the beach at Nome, Alaska, beginning the long period, during which we will see nothing but the white expanse of ice hum- mocks for the next six or seV- en months.
 Cheechaccos are marvelling at the miles upon miles of ice which put in its first appear ance today at Nome. With the departure of the ice in the spring, those same cheechac- coes will then have attained the distinction of being real sourdoughs, in one sense of the term.
 There are many definitions of a "Sourdough," through out Alaska. Nome has sever al which are unique for this section of the North. Further north, other meanings are in- terpreted for the word.
 The one most popularly us- ed is a newcomer in order to be a sourdough must first see the ice come in and go out at Nome.

Mutual Defense Accord Reach

BY RALPH HEINZEN

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Great Britain
and France have agreed on COM
plete pact of mutual defense. Pre-
mier Pierre Etienne Flandin told
the chamber of deputies today.
In declaration to parliament on
the accord Just reached in London
on Germany's re-armament, Flan-
din said:
We have provided for recipro-
cal and complete assistance between
France and Great Britain. We be-
lieve other nations should likewise
be interested in removing the dam
ger of aggression and therefore we
decided to call for participation of
the nations which signed the Lo-
carno pact" t
On the London accords, Flandin
said further:
They must not be misunder-
stood. They are principles present.
ed with a view to later conversa-
tions, as the two governments must
act together again when they re-
ceive replies to their invitations"
Flandin reiterated that Ger
many's secret re-armament and
Withdrawal from the League of Ma
tions created a new situation.
I'VE think it would be inoppor-
tune" he said, ito give any pre-
text whatever to anybody to avoid
his obligations to the International
organization of peace. 9at
There is no change in the French
policy-that is, there is no ques-
tion of removing from the League
of Nations problem affecting the
family of nations which cannot be
solved with the exclusion of some
one.
Each nation has the right and
the duty to organize its own Sc
curity. 1t will be necessary to define
for each country the guarantees for
security"

into congress today.
The long-awaited administration
banking bill provided for centralized
banking control in the federal re-
serve board, bringing the board
closely under administration DOM
ination and giving it wide discre-
ton over credit. -
Twelve changes in the present
federal reserve act were proposed,
the most important of which were
combination of the offices of agents
and governors of the IL regional
banks under close supervision of
Washington authorities, and the es-
tablishment of an open market COM
mittee in Washington to guide Am
erican credit conditions. ~.
Banking experts said that the le-
gislation would give almost absolute
control over various phases of bank
