ne sOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY

"Do something for somebody some
where
While jogging along Iife's road;
Help some one to carry his burden
And lighter will grow your load.
"Do something for somebody gladly
Twill sweeten your every care;
In sharing the sorrows Of others
Your own are less hard to bear.
''Do something for somebody striv-
ing
To help where the way seems long
And the homeless hearts that ian-
giiish--
Cheer up with a little song
"Do something for somebody always
Whatever may be your creed
There's nothing on earth can help
you
So much as a kindly deed"

AppIe Quality Improving

Supplies Of apples continue abun-
dant in the large markets. There is
still much small, inferior fruit, but
the proportion Of the larger sizes
and better varieties is increasing.
Price extremes run from Csc to $1.25
bushel but majority Of sales Of
good fruit are around Csc. Most of
the eastern carlOts are coming from
Delaware, Maryland a~d the Vir-
ginias. California shipments in
creased sharply at the end Of July.
Peaches, like apples, have been
improving in average size and mar
ket quality, and prices have advanced
about Csc a bushel in many mar
kets. Southern Elbertas bring from
S1.5O to $2.25 a bushel South Caro-
lima shipments are decreasing but
North Carolina movement continues
heavy. Total rail shipments from the
two states will exceed that Of recent
seasons. Early white varieties are
arriving from New Jersey but meet
ing slow demand at mostly 75c to 81.
A few lots have been coming from
Maryland and Pennsylvania, also
number Of carloads of California
Cling peaches but heavy receipts
from the West are hardly probable
because of the abundant supply Of
eastern grown fruit.
Melons Higher
iWatermelons we're selling cOnsid-
erably higher the second half of
July and recent advances are being
well maintained. Georgia and the
Carolinas are still supplying the |
bulk of carlots received at eastern |
markets. Prices range 500 to $500 |
per carlot in producing sections, |
compared with SIS to 800 at the low |
point of the season. Demand is re- /
ported good at shipping points. |
Northern markets quote sales, unit |
basis, at zoe to SOC but the range is
somewhat higher in the middle west. /
Shipments of watermelons from
the Lauringurg, North Carolina dis
trict have been active. Prices re-
ceived for No rs ranged mostly from
$140 to 5000 a car I. o. b. and COM
pare very favorably with other wat
ermelOn sections this season. Fol-
lowing the rains of the first part of
last week, there was considerable
loss from sunburn, but the rain ap-
will bring on a second crop
beginning in early August.
Cantaloupes have been selling fair
ly well and price trend has been up
ward with some gains Of 25c per
crate on western receipts. Eastern
melons are from North Carolina,
and Delaware, and selling
at 81 to $3.50 per crate in eastern
cities. The market was fairly steady
for western hOneydews.

Clean Streets,
Aim OF Powers;
Requests Aid

Chief Otis V. Powers today re-
ouested the cooperation of the
merchants and automobile owners
Of Hendersonville in keeping the
civ streets clean. The chiefs
statement was as follows:
"The City of Hendersonville is
doing what it can to keep the
streets clean. We clean and wash
the streets early every morning,
then the merchants open up their
stores and sweep the dirt and
trash out on the street after the
cleaners have already gone by,
and we also have people who leave
their cars parked on Main street
so that the cleaners cannot clean
the streets and that leaves a dirty
spot in the street where the car
sits all day long for people to look
at.
81 certainly would appreciate a
little more cooperation among the
people and the citizens in trying
to keep the streets cleaner.

Gliding Carriers, Snore Silencer
Among Inventions Exhibited AS
National Congress Opens In North

CHICAGO, June ga (UP}--
The range of Yankee ingenuity
appeared infinite today as the Ma
tional Inventors Congress opened
its five-day annual meeting amid
a crowded array of gadgets which
includes invisible bathing trunks,
disposable diapers, gliding carriers
and an all-metal stratosphere diri-
gible capable of 600 miles per
hour.
President Albert G. Burns, OF
Oakland, Cal, gave his solemn
word to Interested gentlemen that
the invisible trunks would be dem
onstrated. They were invented by
a forward-looking person who, i'm
pressed by contrasts between mod
ern bathing suits and the styles Of
the gay nineties, decided to step
up progress to its utter limits.
The shakespeare dirigible, r.
foot model. one of which was on
display, was turned out by Chas.
R. Miner, 70, Of San Francisco, a
veteran of the Boer war and a
former member of the French
Foreign Legion. He claims to have
made the third successful para
chute jump in the United States
and to have jumped from more
lighter-than-air ships than any
other person. A working model of
the ship, he said today, would rev.
olutionize air transportation.
Dorothy Leseur of Holdenville,
Okla, was ready to offer the
mothers of the nation her boon 70
babyhood, disposable diapers, elm
mating the necessity of launder-
ing without sacrificing other quail
ties.
Housewives also will be inter-
ested in a gadget which can cook
a meal, from soup through steak

WASHINGTON, June "a. (UP)
President Roosevelt will veto the
compromise IVA amendments if
they come to the White House
loaded with concessions to utility
interests as approved by the house
military affairs committee, it was
learned in congressional circles to-
day.
At the same time he was re-
ported to be standing firm in his
refusal to accept, without fight,
a provision in the house draft of
the Wheeler Rayburn Utilities
Holding company bill calling for
regulation instead of elimination
as approved by the senate.
The IVA compromise was
forced out of the military affairs
committee Friday after four DEM
ocrats had joined with Republi-
cans to snarl the measure in six
weeks deadlock. As finally report
ed, the amendments do not please
administration leaders but some
revisions were accepted in order
to get the fight out of committee
and onto the floor.
This procedure was followed af-
ter Mr.. Roosevelt had been mott
fled of the drastic changes already
made in the amendments as pass
ed by the senate and of others
which opponents were demanding
as the price of breaking the dead
lock.
Under the revisions of the iva,
bond issue authorization would re-
main at $50,000,000 instead of
S1OO,OOO,0O0 as desired by the
President; the IVA would be pre-
vented from selling surplus power
or chemicals below production
costs and would be barred from
setting up parallel lines to trans
mission lines already operating
without first attempting to pur-
chase existing lines at satisfac-
tory price. ,
In addition, the Twas financial
operations would come for the
first time under the audit of
Comptroller General J. R. McCarl
"a mandate which the chief ex-
ecutive also opposed on the ground
that a gigantic project of this ma
ture should not be restricted by
governmental red tape.
Mr.. Roosevelt made it plain to
his informant, it was reported,
that he would not accept these
changes. His determination to
fiobt over the measure on the floor
projects inspired Twas congress
sional proponents and a bitter
fight over tn emeasure on the floor
is certain.

MRS. VALLEY IN
JAIL AWAITING
COURT BATTLE
Kidnaper's Wife Near Col.
lapse as Trial Date
Pondered

TACOMA, WASH. June. a.
(UP).-Margaret Valley, blonde
young wife of Harmon Valley,
convicted kidnaper of George
Hunt Weyerhaeuser, today will
learn when her fight for freedom
"a fight forced upon her-will
begin.
Judge Edward E. Cushman
twice denied her plea of guilty"
in the abduction of the nine-year-
old Weyerhaeuser heir to timber
millions. He will set a date for
her trial in the same federal court
room that he sentenced her hus-
band to As years Imprisonment.
The 19-year-old woman was near
a nervous breakdown as she re-
turned to her cell in Thurston
county Jail at Olympia. Her hus-
band was taken to Mcneil Island
federal penitentiary.
Her desire to share her hus-
bands fate was denied her, after
an eloquent plea Saturday by
Steve O'Brien, engaged as her at
torney by her parents in Salt Lake
City.
As his client negatively shook
her head, O'Brien said he found
no evidence under which she
could be found guilty if brought
to trial. .
"I talked to her husband and
he exonerated her of any connec.
ton with the actual kidnapping, "
O'Brien said. "In my opinion, she
had nothing to do with the kid
naping or transporting the boy or
collection of ransom"
Judge Cushman ordered Mrs.
Valley to remain mute while he
entered a mot guilty" plea for
her.
Mrs. Valley will be tried on two
indictments charging conspiracy
to kidnap the boy, and sending
extortion letters through the mails.
Court attaches indicated Mrs. Wa
ley would not be brought to Ia
coma today, because her presence
is not required for assignment OF
the trial date.
Judge Cushman will leave on
his annual vacation to Wyoming
ranch July 15. Whether he will
attempt to get the trial over be-
fore that time was not known. ;.
John F. Dore, former mayor VI
Seattle, one of the Northwests
foremost criminal lawyers, is Mrs,
Valleys chief counsel. He was ap.
pointed to the case Saturday by
Judge Cushman at O'Brien's petit
ton. =,
Meantime, the hunt continued
presumably "somewhereo in Mon.
tana," for William Mahan, ALA:
Grant, believed to have approx
mately half the 100000 ransom
John Philip Weyerhaeuser pait
for release of his son.

BORAH BACKS
new TAX PLAN
Long Ready to Make Peace
With President; Others

WASHINGTON, June "a. (UP)
Senator William E. Borah, Repn.,
Idaho, threw the weight of his per-
sonal prestige behind President
Roosevelt's the "rich-must-pay"
program last night, but at the
same time warned that it would
not redistribute wealth.
He indicated he would support
Mr.. Roosevelt's plan for higher in
heritance taxes and larger corpo-
ration levies.
Borah took his stand at a time
when congress, laundering in con-
fusion. was awaiting the return of
President Roosevelt before decid-
ing whether to press the tax bill
this session or wait until next. :
Net since the supreme court
blasted the NRA has there been
SO much confusion and difference
of opinion. Lacking any definite
word from the House House on
the program calling for higher in
heritance taxes, increased corpora
ton levies and a general program
of taxing wealth, Mr.. Roosevelt's
advisers were widely separated.
President Roosevelt returned
] from Hyde Park this morning to
| find one. of his bitterest enemies
sitting on the doorstep ready to
make peace. 1t is none other than
Huey P. Long, who has written q
letter to the President, Offering to
| retire from politics if the Presi.
dent gets behind the rich-must-pay
program and shoves it through.
