"Oh, no. I'm getting lots more

Scoop made the big discovery. He was

CLIMBING ROSES
HELP BUILDINGS
Beauty in Many Forms Can
Be Secured oy Use of
Hardy Flowers.

Because of ignorance of the many
types and varieties available and be-
cause of the varied methods OF train
ing, climbing roses are not used as
extensively by the average gardener
and home owner as their merit de-
serves. according to Walter R. Ballard,
horticulturist for the University OF
Maryland extension service. He points
out that the possibilities for climbing
roses are unlimited and they are well
adapted for use on arches, lattlceS,
arbors, fences, walls or stumpS.
Climbers vary in habit from the
strong, upright types to the rambling
bushes and trailers which make eX-
cellent ground covers for banks, it Is
single and double Towering forms,
cluster types and those which produce
specimen flowers on stems and which
look much like hybrid tea roses. In
fact, many of the common bush forms
of hybrid tea roses have sported into
vigorous climbing types that retain
more or less the recurrent habit of
bloom.
If climbers are to be used as pillar
roses they should be selected for mod
crate growth and should be planted
at the base of posts to 10 feet in
height, according to Mr.. Ballard
Vines should be pruned. leaving only
three to five strong canes, which
should be tied close to the supports.
For single varieties Mr.. Ballard
suggests the Hiawatha, Evangeline

appeared at the Baker Hotel in her

At first Sugars head was in a Whlrl

She was so busy she had little time
to think of Skeeter. Word soon got
around Lorien that the Baker Drug

was a-buzz with youth.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
SwARMS OF OFFICERS

In re-reading that immortal document, the Dec
Iaraton of Independence, which rectes the grie'-
ances which impelled the American colonies to rise
and throw off the British yoke, we were struck by
a paragraph which appealed to US with new sig
nifcance Referring to King George ILL., 1T de-
clared:
''He has created a multitude of new offices a"1
sent hither swarms of officers to harass our peo-
pie and eat out our substance"
1t appears that ''swarms of officers were dis
tasteful to the sturdy forefathers. What would
they say to the army of offce-holders who "harasS
our people and eat out our substance" today?
Every session of congress and every session OF
the state legislature enacts laws creating new Of
fees. Seldom is an office once established ever
abolished, except to create a different and more
expensive office or offices, in its place. Oice-hold-
ers' salaries are often raised, but never lowered.
Some day, possibly, majority of the voters will
rebel as did the early fathers, and by their ballots
instead of bullets, call halt on those legislators
whose chief aim appears to be the increase OF pub
lie pay-rolls-Monroe Enquirer.

TAKES UNCLE SAM FOR A SAP

Russia clearly takes Uncle Sam to be sucker

eminent 100000, 900 with which to pay $780,
OOO, 900 which that country owes us, and then an
other S1OO 900 900 with which to supply itself with
some present pressing needs.
Russia is, doubtless, well informed as to the his
tory of Americas somewhat recent financial trans
actions with Europe and thereby influenced i'll
making such cheeky and altogether preposterous
proposition to the government.
The Soviet has us down correctly in having es-
tablished in that connection all-time record as
an easy mark, but not quite up-to-date in not
having become dispossessed of the idea that this
country is still as reckless in respect to foreign
loans as it was when it let Europe have II billion
dollars which she still owes and apparently never
intends to pay.
If Uncle Sam is no more than a feebly intelli-
gent infant, it will not get itself into another such
jam again.-Charlotte Observer.

THE OPPORTUNITIES EXIST

The Saturday Evening Post had fine editorial
commenting on the time-worn argument of politi-
clans that there is no more "freeand" to be hal
from the governments hence, vast sums of. money
must be appropriated to provide "social services"
for the people.
The Post pointed out that the 'free iand' story
is misleading-that man had to have courage,
perseverance and great initiative to cross the des
erts, mountains and forests for thousands of miles
to gain ',e "free land" He generally paid ire
mendoS fprce in suffering, prvation, endless labor
and often death in order to acquire the free land'
"Socal service" schemes at public expense, do
not develop the type of citizens who crossed the
plains and took up land to build a new empire in
the West.
Greater opportunities are here today, but the in
dividual is not encouraged to find them by pater-
nastic governmental policies which crush initiative
and private enterprse-Monroe Enquirer.

THE NEW DEAL AND THE COTTON MILLS

Despite the fact that the NRA is child of the
administration of President Roosevelt, the further
fact remains that the cotton textile industry is very
dissatisfied with the working of the NRA as it re-
latcs to the higher costs imposed the textile in
duStry.
The processing tax is the chief objection of the
cotton mill men. The tax of $22 bale on all cot
ton bought takes all the profit from the manufac-
ture of cotton.
Those who do not pay the processing tax are
profiting at the expense of those who are paying
it regularly and dutifully.
Despite the fact, as has been pointed out in the
Gazette many times, that the volume of business
with the mills has been satisfactory all along there
has been no profit Had it not been for the pro-
cessng tax, the mills could have paid higher wages
than were paid and could also have made some
thing for the stockholders. These facts are known
to all cotton mill men and to all others who keep
up with the business.-Gastona Gazette.

Nearly everyone in Congress

Without that, there Just isn't
