During the past year, considerable
work of this sort has been done in
the Bell Telephone System. In one
area, several cable lines having span
lengths Of $50 feet to $50 feet maxi
mum have been built, resulting in
an appreciate saving over normal"
construction, since the number of
poles per mile is lowered from forty
to somewhat less than twenty. In
construction Of one section of new
toll cable in Pennsylvania, 345-foot
spans and advantageous use of high
points permitted five poles to do the
job where nineteen had been used
on the old line.
Long Spans Have Many Advantages
In addition to the savings in first
cost and investment, maintenance
costs are expected to be lower since
the effect Of long spans is to de-
crease the tendency Of cable to be
under alternating tension and COM
preston with temperature changes.
This effect is largely responsible for
making cases Of trouble out of ring
cuts that occur near poles.
Some of these lines with longer
spans have replaced open wire lines;
where approximately every other old
pole was removed. If the open wire
line was large, considerable ingenu-
ity was used by the construction
forces in placing the cable and
strand so that it would not interfere
with the open wire circuits prior to
their removal.
In addition to use in new cable
lines, long-span construction has
been used to advantage in respacing
poles in existing cable lines where,
due to highway changes or deterio-
rated poles, 1t has been necessary
to move or change the location Of a
number Of poles in the line. The
extent Of such re-spacing depends,
Of course, on the condition and ten
sion Of the strand and the weight
Of the cable.

To the Editor:

I would like to openly thank the
Satellite Club in behalf of the Elite
Club for their donation to the
Elite-St. Paul Recorder Christmas
Fund. Because this organization
represents the younger generation
in st. Paul we feel that young Ne
groes as a separate group are be-
ginning to awaken to their future
responsibilities. I admire the atti-
tude of these boys because their
action indicates growing interest
in civic affairs along with their
dances and social functions.
I also wish to thank the other
social organizations and individuals
too numerous to mention, for their
donations and sympathetic attitude
toward the campaign.

was made public last week by Off
Gals of the State School commission,
shows $26,O29,124 was spent in pub
lie instruction in North Carolina dur
ing that year.
The audit includes supplementary
money furnished by local units as
well as State funds.
Of the $26,O29, 124 total, the State
spent $16,816,355 for current ex-

u. S. TO BUILD LARGEST
DRY DOCK IN THE WORLD

Admiral William H. Standley, act
ing secretary of the navy, has an
nounced that the largest floating dry
dock in the world, to be constructed
for the naval station at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii, would be built on the
Pacific coast.
: Bids for the work are to be opened
at the navy department Septem-
Der 80.
The ultimate cost of the dock has
been estimated at $15,OOO,OOO.
Standley said that until the bids
were opened it would not be de-
termined whether navy yard or a
private shipyard would be allotted
the work.
The dry dock is to be 1,018 feet
long and 165 feet wide and will be
capable of accommodating the larg-
est vessels in the United States navy
for repairs.

United States Will Pay Little
Attention to Spanish Port Order
Spanish Government Declares
Ports, Held by Rebels Are
Officially War Zones
PORT BLOCKADE ESSENTIAL

The United States is insisting upon
the right of its merchant shipping to
enter insurgent controlled ports IN
Spain until such time as the Spanish
government is able to blockade
them effectively.
GTw
Invoking its traditional freedom of
the seas doctrine, this government
served notice on Madrid that it could
not recognize the Spanish govern
nent's action in declaring such
ports closed unless it declares and
maintains an effective blockade up
on them.
The American note, delivered to
the Spanish foreign office last week
by the embassy at Madrid, was re-
ply to verbal notification by the
Spanish government that ports held
by rebels had been declared a war
zone and that merchant ships would
not be permitted to enter them.
The communication asked that
American merchant ships be warned
so that possible incidents might be
avoided"
Declining in effect to interfere in
any way with the movement of
American merchant vessels in Span
ish waters under present circum-
stances, Secretary Hull instructed
the embassy to tell Spain that the
United States, with the friendliest
feeling toward the Spanish govern
ment, cannot admit the legality of
any action on the part of the Spanish
government in declaring such ports
closed unless that government de-
clares and maintains an effective
blockade of such ports"

Dairyingg Industry IN
Ashe Has Unlimited
Possibilities III Future

farmer with 80, 40, or so acres of
land. He does not have enough land
to take care Of enough beef cattle to
make money, but he can keep five or
ten good cows, learn about winter
silage and conserving his grass, corn,
and grain crops, and not only make
a comfortable living but build up his
farrG land without the expense of
spending money for commercial fer
tilizer. The soil conservation pro-
gram can be made to work into this
plan with an additional income.
If dairying has built up good farms
and good homes in other states, Mr..
johnson feel that here, with condi-
tions ideal, the future is indeed
bright. The Kraft Phoenix people
have an unlimited market for cheese
and Ashe county cheese has already
gained reputation for fineness of
flavor that has not been equalled.
This is said to be due to the absence
of wild onions and other grasses and
weeds that often faint the flavor of
the milk. It is also due to the vigil
ance of the factory in keeping the
milk sanitary and urging their GUS
toners to do the same. Mr.. Farm
ham, of the State Agriculture De-
partment, has made the public state
ment that Ashe county cheese is SUI
perior to any in the United States.
A few years ago, according to fig
ures, stores and particularly North
Carolina firms felt that they could
not sell any kind of cheese but Wis
consin cheese. Now they are buying
local cheese and pleased with it.
Dail. and Beef Industry
Not Unfriendly
Mr.. Johnson sees no reason why
the dairy men and the beef men
should be unfriendly. If farm is
big enough, both dairy and beef cat
tie can be raised to an advantage,
but farmers will have to learn that
the breeds cannot be mixed. A dairy
cow will never make good beef
cow, and visa versa.
Mr.. Johnson, cooperating with Mr..
Rich, county agent, feels that the
dairying industry in Ashe holds
greater future for the younger gen.
Grafton than any other one thing, but
it depends on program Of educa-
ton and cooperation. The best of the
timber days\in Ashe are gone, and
the raising of big beef and baby
beef cattle will probably never re-
turn to its former glory since compe-
tition with western plains and South
American plains has become so
heavy, but boys and girls who can
see a living on the old farm can be
made interested in settling down on
it and building it up. For an exam
pie, Mr.. johnson points to the hun
dreds of families who have left Ashe
to make good livings and become
prosperous on Maryland, Virginia,
and Pennsylvania dairy farms.

Brings Regular Money to Many
Homes; Prices Higher Now
Than in Past Seven Years
BIGGER VOLUME is NEEDED

A recent interview with Laverne
johnson, manager of the local Kraft
Phoenix cheese factory reveals many
interesting facts<about the unlimited
possibilities the future of the milk
industry has in Ashe county.
At present, due to the drought
throughout the United States, the
price of milk is higher than it has
been in the last seven years, but
Mr.. johnson maintains that diaries
run on a modern basis can make
money whether the price of milk is
high or low. His argument is that
when milk prices soar, so do other
prices and while the farmer handles
more money, he is actually no better
off than when he sells at a lower
price with other commodities selling
at lower price also.
A few county farmers who have
been willing to study the fundamen-
tails of good milk production are get
ting checks every two weeks from
the cheese factory which amount to
$4,000 and $4,000 Others, who use
the factory merely for place to
take their surplus milk, are paid as
low as five and ten dollars.
Costs No More to Market
Quantities
Mr.. Johnson says that it costs no
more to market in large quantities
than it does to send or bring half
full can. He does not, however, adj
wise going out and buying up a big
herd of dairy cattle, but to gradually
build up a herd as the ones on hand
are made to pay dividends. The cost
of production and the cost iof mar
keting is cut down by producing in
greater volume. In southwest Vlr-
ginia, where the beef cattle business
used to thrive, Mr.. Johnson says one
can see six and ten gallon cans sit
ting on milk routes which could cas-
lily be the case in this county which
would bring in more money with no
more transportation cost.
AT present there are around 1000
farms in Ashe. Certainly 1900 should
be patrons of the cheese plant but
only little over 300 receive pay
checks. The last pay checks for these
800 totaled from $500 to $4,000. If
only one-third of the farmers pa
tronized the factory, the county
would have an income of from $751;
900 to $4,000 every two weeks. This
makes an industry that is amply able
to pay for the interest taken in it.
Life-Saver for
Small Farmer
Mr.. Johnson feels that the dairy
business can be made real life
saver for the small farmer-the

FARLEY HITS c. 0.P.
"SCARE" CAMPAIGN
Democrat Chairman Sees
Effort to Destroy Faith
in Roosevelt.
~ the Associated Press.

~ Jug AooOSA9tcu kApoos
NEW YORK, August 20.-Demo-
cratic Chairman James A. Farley last
night struck out at what he termed
the scare" campaign Of the Repub-
Ncan party.
In his first political speech since the
national conventions, Farley asserted
that the Republican campaign CON
sists Of nothing more than an effort to
break down the faith of the people in
the Roosevelt administration by con-
slant barrage Of scare propaganda"
Hope to Frighten Voters.
Speaking over q broadcast network
On the occasion of Democratic jubilee
banquets In several Michigan cities, the
Democratic leader said:
The G. o. P. is vainly hoping that
enough voters can be frightened to Sc
cure the success of their ticket. They
underestimate the intelligence of the
American voters"
Farley originally was shceduled to
speak in Detroit, but was held here. ne
said, by "the demands Of the cam
paign."
He listed the following as 'the two
favorite bogey men in the stale and
dreary scare campaign which the Re-
publicans are using in their efforts to
3ntimidate the electorate:
l. That the public debt will bank
rupt the country.
2. That sinister forces are at work
in the Roosevelt administration to
weaken the Constitution.
He answered these charges by quot
ing from statements made some time
ago by two Michigan Republican lead
ers. He quoted Senator James Couzens
Is saying there was no danger Of
bankruptcy and that he was dis
gusted with this constant talk about
balancing the budget" On the second
charge, he quoted former Gov. Groes-
beck as saying this talk about the
Constitution being endangered is pure
bunk"
Two Scare Stories Found.
when we examine the Republican
case" Farley continued, I'VE find Moth
ing but two scare stories, both of which
disappear in the light of hard facts.
Turning to President Roosevelt's rec
ord, the Democratic leader declared
che has brought this country from a
condition of business stagnation Of
paralysis to high level of prosperity
and happiness for all sections and all
classes"
Citing a recent statement from the
United States Chamber of Commerce
that 1886 would be the best year in
business since 1929, Farley said the
only persons who did not credit the
New Deal with bringing about recovery
were those in "the relatively small
group that has benefited most"

Science Blinks at Sun
to Trap Rays for Power

Los Angeles.-Science blinked at
the sun as III. E. Mccoy, inventor,
displayed a device which, he insists,
will produce the highest tempera-
ture ever developed, by collecting
sun rays and turning them into vol
umes of heat units for practical
purposes.
Mccoy and his assistant. Charles
G. CASTOR, explained the invention
as consisting of three standard in
terchangeable 1,500-degree units,
connecting to standard automatic
controls. From 1000 to $4,000 de-
grees can be obtained by using ad-
ditional units, they declared.
Although it is in its experimental
stage, Mccoy believes the appa-
ratus will open many new fields. He
is convinced that through 1t he will
be enabled to recover mercury from
cinnabar, smelt ore, superheat
steam to drive turbines, operate
power for heating and lighting and
operate air conditioning and home
electrical appliances.
