wrestling Matches Scheduled.

The wrestling match to be held at
the schoolhouse Wednesday night,
November 18, promises to be a good
one. The bouts will be staged by
men who have wrestled under the
famous instructor, Bobby Bylund, of
MINNEAPOLIS. At the present day, the
science of wrestling combines every
known tactic to wear down the re-
sistance of the opponent, preparatory
to pinning his shoulders to the mat.
There will be two matches in the
evening. The first will be between
Otto Haavisto of Fargo, known as the
"Flying Finn" for his ability to leap
through the air and strike his OPP
ponent on the head and shoulders
with his feet, and Jor Jensen of Chi
cago, the Terrible Dane, who, is cut
standing for his brute strength and
power. The second match brings
"Swede" Oberg of Seattle and Tiger
Bagley of Aberdeen to blows. Each of
these two believes in toe holds, body
smuggling and a wicked elbow thrust
to the neck.
Brutal though the game sounds, it
is one of the most interesting and
exciting exhibitions of body control.
The spectator marvels at the fact that
man can recover so quickly from
the pain that he must sometimes suf-
fer at the hands of his opponent.
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Fuhrmann re-
turned recently from a weeks vaca-
ton in Wisconsin. They visited at
Madison, Milwaukee and at the home
of their parents.
The Wilder shows have discontinued
for the winter. They will move to
southern Iowa, but will return next
year. These people have given good
entertainment at small cost and their
shows have been enjoyed.
Donovan Hogan and Matt McGrath
went to Minneapolis Wednesday. DON
ovan will attend the dealers showing
of the new Ford car which will be out
for public display Saturday.
The c. NJ Bornhoft sale was held
last Saturday and was entirely salts
factory. A nice crowd was in attend
ance and everything sold at fair
prices. Arvid Anderson bought most
of the sheep. The balance went into
Wisconsin.

removing the inequities of the present
system.
Keep tax off land. He will onnosa
every effort to put the school tav
oack on land, said Mr.. Hoey. He ex-
pldlned that the reason he did not
favor repeating the sales tax at this
tlme was that he did not believe the
farmers and property owners of the
otate should be saddled with another
9lo,OOO,OOO load, as would be the case
under the Mcdonald spending plan.
Farm program. The candidate said
ne considered it a major duty of the
state administration to cooperate
1uily with the Federal government in
us effort to control production and
'1oost farm prices. He said that he
would not wait until he took office to
go to the aid of the tobacco growers.
II that problem has not been settled
by November, but would call upon the
farmers to select a committee to help
MIN with the preparation of tobacco
control legislation to be presented to
the next Legislature just as soon as
1t meets Other steps in his farm pro-
gram included development of the
lime resources in this State in order
that the farmers fertilizer bill might
be reduced.
Fund for officers of the law. Mr..
Hoey said that he favored the estab-
llshment of State fund for the care
of officers of the law injured in line
of duty and for the relief of the fam
lilies of those officers killed on duty.
He proposed to get the money from
q OIL TO fA - L:
of costs in all criminal cases.
Cheaper license tags. The candidate
said he would do everything he could
to persuade the next Legislature to
reduce the cost of automobile license
tags.
County road Improvement. The
State Highway Commission should
use surplus it has on hand to put the
county or secondary roads in first
class condition and should so main
tain them throughout the year, said
Mr.. Hoey.
Prison camps for young offenders.
In the event Of his election said Mr..
Hoey, he will advocate separate pri-
son camps for the younger prisoners,
in order to separate them from the
hardened criminals and to undertake
"a great experiment. in an effort to
redeem those boys to society and
their families
These are some of the things I
think North Carolina should do at
once" the candidate continued. "But
you realize they will cost money. We
can't repeal all the taxes to which
anybody objects and go forward with
our state government.

of the teacher load.
Free school books. Mr.. Hoev said
that State which required it's chill
dren to go to school and provided
them with free tuition and free trans
portation should complete the pro-
gram by providing free text books in
order that all the children might have
all their books for every day of the
year, thereby giving the poor an equal
opportunity with those who could af-
ford to buy the cooks and increasing
the general efficiency Of the schools.
Sales tax off necessities. The can
didate said that he was in favor of
removing the sales tax from meat and
bread and the other necessities of
life, including meals purchased at
cafes, at once and that he looked for
ward to repeating the tax altogether
whenever that could be done without
Gripping the schools, denying the old
people and putting the tax back on
land.
Sales tax modification. Mr.. Hoey
said that in the event of his election
he would call upon the merchants of
the state to select committee of
their own to confere with him and
the budget commission in working out
a new method of levying and collect
ing the sales tax, in order to make it
less irritating and troublesome and

Security For Aged And

Raleigh, May 21.-Security for the
aged and better schools for the chill
dren topped the list of progressive
steps" which Clyde r. Hoey advocated
in statement for the press released
through his State headquarters here
today
The progress which North Carolina
has made under Democratic admins

Democratic nomination for governor.
If our party can throw off this eff
fort to divide it into warning fac
items, and / believe it can, North Car

Mr. Hoey said that he believed the
following steps, all of which he IA
vors. could be taken by the incoming
administration:

said that it would be a great
tragedy" if North Carolina did not

Is per cent more. This means that
retailers during this period have been
forced to depend for better earnings
on greater volume rather than on
widening profit margins. BY more at
tractive advertising campaigns, by
courteous treatment, by intelligent
service, by building prestige and by
offering the finest buys in the COM
munity, merchants have been able to
increase profits through boosting vol
ume without raising prices
Danger in Instaliment Selling
The very latest method of stimulat-
ing sales is swelling consumers pur-
chasing power through easier credit
terms. In some communities. this
trend has gone so far that it prac-
tlcally amounts to nothing down and

lleve that it is sound SO long as the

the subsequent installments are suf-
ficient to give the buyer a rapidly
growing equity in his purchase. Easy
credit, however, can be abused again
just as it was in 1929. Too strong COM

years and there is no immediate dan

Record Vacation Season
Another seasonal factor-vacation
ibuying-will begin to be felt within a
fortnight. Travel will be on the in
crease as schools close and families
move into their summer homes. Ac-
tivity at the resorts this past winter
was the best on record. The winter
resort business is always a reliable
Indicator of the amount of money to
be spent during the summer recrea-
ton Frankly, I am looking forward
to a great vacation and resort bust
ness this coming summer. The grad
ual improvement in the income of
the average family supports this OPP
inion. Naturally this means a heavy
volume of retail purchases for equip
ment, clothing, and other accessories.
Another reason why I am so OPP
timistic on retail prospects between
now and the Fourth of July, is the
navment of the soldiers bonus. Be
tween one and half and two billion
uolars will 'oe paid out to veterans
beginning June Is. This cannot fail
to give big stimulus to trade. When
the first slice of the bonus was paid
out in 1880, business was on the
"shoot-the-chutes' Consequently it
failed to cause even a jolt. Now, how
ever, the trend is vigorously upward.
This tremendous sum flowing into
business channels should accelerate

DRIED BEEF DELICACY OR
DISASTER

VX7HEN was in school we had
w dried beef in white sauce
for Wednesday luncheons and that
day everybody rushed to the inn
after classes for waffles and syrup!
That was because the cook made
such mess of the dish.
The secret of good creamed dried
beef lies in frizzling the beef before
adding the cream sauce. Dried beef
is obviously lacking in fat, SO that
must be supplied
Melt the butter in a frying pan,
add beef carefully picked into
small pieces with all bits of stringy
tissue removed.
Cook over a low fire until the
edges of the beef curl. Use one
tablespoon of flour for each cup of
milk to be used in the sauce.
Sift the flour over the beef and
stir with fork until flour is alb
sorbed. Add milk and bring to the
boiling point, stirring constantly
Now, that's the way to make
creamed dried beef so that it will
taste like something.
Beef made this way is the color
of old ivory and has a delicate and
delicious flavor No salt need be
added because there's enough in the
beef.
