ADMINISTRATION GREATLY
PLEASED WITH SUPREME
COURT GOLD DECISION
Stocks on Market Rise as COurtUp-
holds Act to Pay in Silver
Instead of Gold

The Administrator is pleased with
the long awaited decision of the Su-
preme Court which was made Mon
day, Feb. 18, upholding the govern
ment which, since deserving the gold
standard, has allowed the paying off
bonds in silver. The bonds, which
were bought with gold, it is contend
ed, are paid back at a lower rate than
the owner bought them for.
Holders of corporate and govern
ment bonds, and gold certificates sued
for payment in the present currency
equivalent of the quantity Of gold
stipulated in the bonds and certifi-
Gates.
That is, they contended a $1,000
bond should be redeemed for 1000
times rs As grains of gold, or it's
equivalent in devalued currency, ST.
800; not 1000 times Is 5-21 grains
or exactly $1,000 in currency, as or
dered by congress.
AS an example, Norman C. Norman
of New York, holder of 1000 Bal
timore and Ohio railroad bond, pre-
scented an interest coupon for $3.50
and demanded $3.50 which he con-
tended was the equivalent in currency
of the $3.50 he was entitled to re-
ceive in gold.
Behind the specific cases at issue
lie all the successive developments of
the Roosevelt monetary program, but
principally these:
Circulation of gold coin and gold
certificates was forbidden.
The gold standard was abandoned.
Congress invalidated bond and con-
tract promises to pay in gold or it's
equivalent.
Thegold equivalent of the dollar
was reduced from 25 As grains to
Is 5-21 grains.

TWO WOMEN SPIES ARE
BEHEADED IN GERMANY
German Women Walk to Block and
Have Their Heads Chopped Off
Without Whimper

Early Monday Chancellor Hitler's
government in German beheaded two
young German women who had pre-
viously been tried for being spies.
An eye witness to the execution Of
Bonita Won Falkenhayn and Renate
vo Natzmer, who were put to death
before dawn yesterday as bright
floodlights Illuminated grim old
Ploetzense PRISONS courtyard, told
the Associated Press today:
"What impressed us most of the
two women's behavior during their
last minutes of life was that neither
murmured a single word"
Both went to their death with out
ward calm and bravery, he said, their
bodies erect, their heads held high.
Execution of the two, charged with
betraying Germany's military secrets,
took only six minutes, the informant
said.
Frau Won Falkenhayn was the
first" he related. "When she was led
into the lights she walked first to the
improvised stand for the jury which
was witnessing the affair. Both her
hands were chained on her back. She
stood there and heard once more the
verdict of death read aloud by the
state prosecutor.
Blowing before crucifx on
table, dimly lit by tall wax candles,
the prosecutor surrendered Frau won
Falkenhayn to the executioner with
the words:
"'Executioner, do your duty
"Frau Won Falkenhayn took the
verdict calmly and she walked to the
block rigidly erect.
"This woman should be an example
to male delinquents whom we usually
have to drag to the scaffold," the in
forman said.
After the executioner, 67-year-old
August Griebler of Magdeburg, and
his three assistants beheaded the
woman, her body was placed in it's
simple, black, narrow coffin, and Frau
Won Natter, noted Berlin beauty,
whom the eye witness described as
can extremely good looking person
about 35 years DID," went to her
death in equal calm.

STATE AND FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT MAKE EFFORT
TO ERASE ILLITERACY
State Supervisor of Adult Education
to Meet with ERE Teachers
Saturday Morning

A special allotment of federal funds
has recently been made to North
Carolina for the furthering of a pro-
gram already started to erase the
illiteracy in the state, more particu-
larly mong the adults. In connection
with the program in this county,
Clyde G. Sorrells, Supervisor of Adult
Education in the state, will meet the
ERE teachers of Ashe in the office
of the County Board Of Education in
Jefferson Saturday morning at ten
o'clock.
According to Superintendent Hash
and ERE teachers, it is an almost
next to impossible job to get illiterate
adults to attend classes in coopera-
ton with the program. Many do at
Z tend, but there are many who will
not. Attendance is not compulsory.
Statistics from this section of the
state, including about ten counties,
gives Yadkin county the highest per
cent of adult illiterates, and Ashe,
second.
Ashe is put down as having 1929
white illiterates and 70 Negro litter
ates. The amount spent in the county
from June '33 to June "a for the
education of adults amounted to
$33,448.
The percent of the population of
the county on relief rolls is given as
1876 per cent.

SLOT MACHINES TO BE
OUTLAWED BY THE STATE
OF NORTH CAROLINA
John Sprunt Hill Introduces Bill for
Liquor Stores; Lively
Debate Seen

"That damnable slot machine fat
tening off school lunch money and
furnishing Cumberland county pro-
moters Packards from profits obtain
ed from fools and morons like us"
so castigated by Senator Johnson as
he forced the issue in the senate
Tuesday morning. The senate without
a dissenting vote passed the Erwin,
Thompson, Thomas house bill I'M
amended, outlawing these machines
of chance and after the ratification
at IL o'clock Wednesday it became
illegal to own, possess, lease, trans
port, have in ones place of business,
operate or cause to be operated, one
of. these outfits, of which there are
several thousand in North Carolina
today.
Incidentally the passage of this act
gives the finance committee another
worry. Last year the state obtained
more than $4,000 in taxes from
these machines and by action of the
committee had recommended TRIPPING
the tax for each of the next two
years. This will be some more reve-
nue. to hunt.
The town of Shelby has already
outlawed the slot macine and the
daily papers have carried pictures
of 81 machines being wrecked with a
crowbar in front of the courthouse of
that city.
Drys from every section of North
Carolina were expected to descend on
the capitol Wednesday to lodge q
vigorous protest against Senator
John Sprunt Hill's bill to set up
liquor stores.
Predictions were that vets, too
will urge favorable action by senate

jOutlO016 fo1: Dairyillg

there has been an under consumption
of dairy products, the same as with
all other farm products.
Thomas H. McInnerney, president
of National Dairy Products Corpora
ton emphasized dairying as the
greatest business on earth in his
coast to coast network broadcast on
Dec. 9th in which he stated "Today
the United States is the greatest
dairy country in the world. Over
26,000,00O cows supply it with milk.
The milk industry, including all it's
products represents one of the larg-
est in the nation, with an output valu-
ed at nearly $3,50O,OOO,OO0 a year.
For the farmer, dairying is by far
the most important and profitable
branch of agriculture"
Mr.. Mann, president of the Nation
al Dairy Council, in a recent address
on the outlook for dairying said:
consumption of butter in Canada
per capita last year was 80 pounds,
while in United States only Is
pounds. Therefore, if the consumption
per capita in the United States were
raised to 80 pounds, it would require
"a 000,O00,000 pounds more milk and
10000, 900 more dairy cows to pro-
duce this extra butter.
The man who milks cows during
1885 will progress but one thing must
be overlooked in producing milk for
after all the better milk you produce
and deliver to your factory, the better
cheese can be made, which will in
crease the consumption of cheese.

Tavern JOHNSON, Manager
Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corp.
West Jefferson, N. C.

January first found the shortest
cold storage holdings of creamery
butter in the United States that we
have had in five years; butter stor-
age, according to the United States
Government report was around 3d.
100000 pounds as compared with
100000 pounds January 1, 1884.
Therefore, it is evident that we are
starting 1885 in much better shape
than 1884. In view of the fact that
we started the year 1884 with an
enormous amount of storage butter
on hand (73,O0O,O0O pounds) business
recovery and government buying OF
butter for relief cleaned up the sur
plus during the first few months of
1884 sufficiently to raise milk prices
during 1884 to almost double the
prices paid for milk during 1888.
The production of evaporated milk
increased or per cent for the year
while the consumption increased 1914
per cent. Cheese also showed great
err consumption than production. Pro-
duction was 56O,OOO,O0O and consump-
ton was 596,OO0,OOO pounds. During
the year the production of dairy pro-
ducts manufactured in terms of milk
were 2,7O5, 100000 pounds and the
consumption $685., 100000 pounds
This is for the current year 1884.
Now with the increasing consump-
ton of all dairy products and the
large decrease of cold storage hold
ings as compared with 1884, it would
indicate higher prices for milk dur
ing 1885. There never has been an
over production Of dairy products
during the past three years however

govern stations throughout the
country, have been in a huddle
for a week trying to decide
whether all New York and New
Jersey stations shall close shop
at midnight instead Of running
on to l, 2 or 3 a. m. The cause
of it is a new musical union rul-
ing which taxes each individual
musician SO a broadcast for the
emergency fund.
The tax, which goes into ef-
feet today, deals the hardest
blow to independent stations
specializing in dance parades.
Neither broadcasters nor musi-

say.

not worry persons living in

whether it will be far enough
