COTTON AND ROADS

Cotton farmers and cotton textile manufacturers
are encouraged by report from Washington say
ING that 80 states have made requests to the agrl-
cultural adjustment administration for cotton fab
rio and cotton mats to be used in highway construc-
ton. More than six million square yards Will be
used for reinforcing bituminous surface-treated
roads totaling SIS miles, and $4,000 cotton mats
will be employed in the curing of concrete high
ways.
If the results from the of cotton fabrics IN
road building are as satisfactory as expected by
engineers who have made the experiment 1t Is be-
lieved that new market will be found for the
great southern staple. Had these experiments been
made 20 years ago they might have led to the con-
sumption of enormous quantities of Gotten IN the
building of the great system of highways that is
nationwide.
Demonstration of the usefulness of cotton by
American highway engineers will give the farmers
and the mills an increased demand for their prod
ucts at home and, in time, will stimulate interest,"

John B. Ashcraft of the Monroe Enquirer, thinks
it would be good thing for boys who have no
employment during vacation to make arrangement
with merchants other business men TO go INTO
stores offices other places OF business ana "orh
for the experience they would get, thereby Placing
them in position to apply for work later with en-
perience to their credit. John b. is on the rgh'
track. Many of the most responsible positions OF
today are filed by men who, as boys, went into
stores, print shops other places of business and
made themselves so useful before asking for pay
that the owners could not get along without them
And, too, it is much better for boy to be en-
ployed during vacation with little or no pay than
to roam the streets in idleness and mschlet.TgIhe

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
IF HERE, WHY NOT EVERYWHERE?

Whatever ones view may be to the practical
ty of the IVA experiment involving the competl'
ton of the Federal government in the manutac
ture and transmission of power, one is obliged to
see the ultimate possibilities of evil in the COM
plant of suit filed by 10 private utilities operat
ing in the reach of this governmental development
In word, this complaint of the companies bring
ing suit against the government points out that
priyate investment in the light and power proper
ties in IVA territory amounts to more than $780,,
600, OOO-mhons invested by stockholders living
in all parts of the country. 1t says that if IVA
finally held legal this vast private investment will
be destroyed.
The brief likewise shows why private utllltles are
unable to compete with the IVA.
These utilities pay over $14,OOO,OOO a year IN
taxes-TVA pays next to nothing. The private
utilities must raise all their money without benent
of subsdies-the IVA has the Federal Treasury
and the whole power of the Federal credit behina
it.
The private utilities must pay every cost Oh OPP
Grafton out of their own pockets-INA receives
preferential freight and passenger rates. franks all
its letters and other mail matter, pays no work
mems compensation costs, enjoys tax exemption on
its gasoline and motor vehicles, etc. And, most I'M
portant, private utilities are strictly regulated by
the State and must make adequate allowance
for depreciation.
Last wear IVA accounting took notice of de-
probation whatsoever and its operating expense
ledger allowed nothing for return on investment.
There is place suggested here for solemn think
ing on the part of the citizens and taxpayers OF
the United States who already facing the facts
of an unparalleled deficit and public debt largely
by reason of policies inaugurated within the last
three and half years.
If government can step into the electric indus
try and use its great powers to destroy private IN
vestment, it can do the same thing to the grocery
business, automobile manufacturing, banking in

SUGGESTED BY THE
CONVENTIONS
No political party is as bad as
its opponents say it is, nor as
good as its proponents say it is.
From the speeches one could cas-
lily imagine that a political cam
paign is not a conflict between
groups of respectable Americans,
but battle between angels and
devils.
There is one thing, however,
which may be rather disconcert-
ing to persons who feel deeply
and sincerely about the welfare
of their country: And that is the
spirit of responsibility and IRA
tionaliSm which seems to sway
most of the delegates to a na-
tional political convention. With
the momentous questions before
them of choosing a leader for
the nation, and platform fo-
the leader, the delegates could
perhaps more appropriately ap-
proach those supreme problems in
a spirit of gravity and dignity
than of levity and revelry. There
is a place for the carnival spirit.
But is that place in the vital coun-
ellis of the nation?

DIONNES' NEW BABE,
A BOY, ARRIVES

Continued from page onel
Dr.. loyal, who has attended his
family since the break with DR.:
Allan Roy Dafoe, the quintuplets'
doctor, and asked him to hurry
out.
A nurse, DR.. loyal and Papa
Dionne were present when the
baby was born. The doctor, who
had seen Mrs. Dionne once preVl-
ouslv since her latest confinement
and made arrangements, said the
birth was normal in every re-
spect. The nurse had been in the
barricaded Dionne home since
Sunday night, attending Mrs.
Dionne. ,,,
The five older Dionne children
were all asleep. Mrs. Dionne was
abed in room downstairs in the
seven-room farm house where the
ouintuplets also were born.
The doctor stayed an hour aft
er the baby was born, then left:
Iionne made his usual daily
trip to north bay in the morning,
chatted with a few townspeople,
but told them nothing about his
new baby. ,
The Dionne home presented
it's usual quiet appearance all day:
Neighbors displayed only casual
interest in the event. The birth
had been rumoreG so many times
that when the baby finally came,
it seemed like an anti-climax.
The Dionnes were an obscure
French Canadian farm family,
unknown beyond their own COM
munity, until May %, 1884, when
five girls were born within 30
minutes time to the 24-year-old

HOWL.S OF ALARM CAN'T KEEP
AMERICANS FROM PLAY
(By BRUCE CATION

. It might be very fine thing if every
man who wanted to announce that this
country has gone, is going, or shortly Will
go to the dogs could be made first to go to
some quiet spot and sit down for week
"or so of peaceful meditation.
We have been through pretty bad time
in the last half dozen years, and there Is
no use trying to pretend that the dew has
been on the rose ever since 1929; but we
sometimes have a tendency to carry on as
if no people in all history had suffered as
we have suffered.
Judging by some of the Jeremlads on
the printed page or the political platform
one would imagine that the redeoats once
more stood on Concord bridge, that the
national capitol was in ruins, that every
thing west of the Mississippi had sunk into
the Pacific ocean, and that the gulllotlne
would start clanking on Main street at
GAS tomorrow morning.
It is easy for us to forget that this
America of ours is big country-blg, and
tough. 1t has stood up under great deal
of kicking around in the past, and it will
stand up under great deal more In the
future.
1t has taken everything from Sherman
march to the sea to Insults march to
Greece, and survived to come back for
mere.
>, What is happening in the land today?
Well, some millions of Americans are look
ing forward to vacation trips.
They will go rolling over the greatest
highways on earth, enjoying sense OF
complete freedom, as they go, that people
of past ages could only dream of; they will
travel through friendly land, breathing
clean winds that have whole continent to
tumble around in; and, if they wish, they
can go 10000 miles without once seeing a
frontier guard, soldier in uniform, or
stranger who cannot greet them in their
own tongue.
Other millions are enjoying themselves
at home. They are going to baseball games
enjoying the Observation-Disclosures de-
mocracy of the bleachers; or they are
playing golf, or splashing about at some
bathing beach, or loafing in serene content
on the tree-shaded front porches of 10000
small towns-and if their country is, as
the prophets of alarm assure us, in one ter
rible fix, the fact seems to have escaped
the attention of most inhabitants.
Now all these millions upon millions Of
people, who are making pretty goeo
summer out of it in spite of everything, are
lust as wise as the Jeremiahs, if not little
bit wiser.
They've been through the mill, of course
They know as we'll as anyone that the las
half dozen years have been rocky ones
But they also know that their country ha
an immense sanity and toughness OF hoe1
which the depression has not destroyed.

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VIII

AS Clare, thoroughly alarmed,
listened to the tapping noise,
other ears besides hers also noted
the sounds. Pat had shaken loose
from the Inconsistencies caused
by his sudden fall down the Wine
of the old mine.
Painfully he fished the cigaret
lighter from his pocket and flash
ed on the feeble ray of light. The
damp walls of another tunnel met
his gaze, branching off from the
shaft down which he had fallen.
Because there was no hope of
climbing the smooth, Shiny walls
of the raise without ladder, he
got up and started to walk along
this lower level.
For what seemed an intermin-
able distance, he fumbled his way
in the darkness to save his lighter.
All sense of direction was lost in
the blackness, but the footing
seemed solid and fairly dry, and
the air was still fresh, as though
other shafts cut in from above
Pat felt certain he had come a
long way and was just flashing on
the lighter again when the tap
ping sound that Claire was listen
ing to in the library of the House
of Long Shadows, came family to
his ears.
What was it? Were his nerves
beginning to crack from the hon,
rible darkness? Pat shook himself
free from his dark thoughts and
pressed forward.
Presently he was coming into
another, larger part of the mine
The place was quite dry and by
carefully selecting fragments OF
| wood, Pat soon had a bundle OF
torch material which would last
for some time. He also found q
rusty pickax. Carrying the tool
and with the aid of the heartening
flame of the torch, he pushed or
in the direction from which he
had heard the sounds.
At last he came to blank wall
Pat drove the pick into the wal
to test it's solidity. Immediately
and so loudly that it made hin
jump, an answering sound came
from beyond.
Halo there! Halloow he
shouted at the top of his lungs
But only the words rushed back

whether to marry Nick Baum, to
whom she owes money. She also
hopes to find a valuable and mys-

Claire sees a curious arrow
carved on the wall of an upstairs

lows the arrow to the cupola. A
noiseless bullet skaters the lamp.
Next morning Eb Spratt dis
appears. Bob Steele sets out for

Hannah, Claire's housekeeper,
arrives. Pat, trying to solve some
of the mysteries of the place,
