WILD SALLET"
Press.

Tom P. Unison, in one of his whismies for the
Charlotte News, recalls that when he was growing
up, in Haywood county, spring brought regularly
to the family table boiled dinner OF what was
locally known as wild sallet.'
About this season of the year my mother would
take basket and kitchen knife and go out by the
bank of the branch, and maybe over into the pas
ture. She would gather daRdelions, pepper-grass,
mar dock young plantain, lambs quarter little
sheep sorrell, and few tender stalks Of poke
"She would wash these several times with cold
water put the batch in cast iron pot, then
go to the smokehouse and get hogs jowl, one
which had been cured with salt and smoked with
hickory wood until it was hard and dry. She would
boil that for while before the salet was put I'M
then cook BOTH until done
1.-The Sallet would be placed on a big platter, and
shoes of the hog jowl would be put on top Of it,
while the potlikker would be put in bowl
huge pone Of corn bread, baked in big oven on
the HEARTH would sit in the center Of the table, and
a big stone pitcher of buttermilk would sit at the
head of the table" ... &c..
"Ah. that was, and is dish fit. for a king!'
rhapsodizes nostalgically, the errant son of Hay
woods hills. ut helped our infirmites chased
away diseases, prolonged life, gave strength to
body and mind. and made US love the Lord and the
brethren, and, of course, the sisters We need to
get back to them good old days."-The State.

death (if the company is reli-
ablc). And should he continue his
payments until the time of his
death. somebody would receive
the amount Of money specified in
his policy.
But here is the case of a man
who goes into gaming institu-
ton and sees that the establish
ment will bet him so much against
so much that he can't guess at
what number the pointer on a
whirling wheel will stop. The
gambling establishment is per-
fectlv safe in making such a bet
for it knows by the law Of aver
ages that the odds are all against
the customer. 1t knows from long
exhaustive tests how many times
out of hundred the pointer on
the wheel will stop at a particular
number
The man who bets against the
gambling establishment is trying
to beat a fellow at his own game.
True, he might win but not like
". And if he doesn't win, he gets
nothing for his money. His house
is not protected against burning
down; his life is not protected
against snuffing out. He is. SIM
plv a durn fool, and as has been
said before, a fool and his money
are soon parted.

HITLER AND HIS KIND

1t is easy and natural for those who take the
short view-and' who doesn't to be uncommonly
irritated and disturbed modern trends, parti-
cuarly political slants in Europe where dictators
are running nsanely wild and mad with the pos
session of power they have assumed, while quies-
cent, backed anu frightened people are without re-
sources of will to resist. ..'.. a..'

face and my will shouts Hitler with his ruthless
defiance. To-day my movement is the German

And. Protestant, Catholic and Jew indirect Hitler

er hatel-a wild bull running amuck to sink his

lars against twenty-five that you
don't die this year"
"I'll take you," says the man.
SO he planks down twenty-five
dollars and gets a contract unedr
which the life insurance company
agrees to pay anyone the man
designates a thousand dollars
should the man die during the
next year; it further agrees to
continue the guarantee year af
ter year so long as the man keeps
up his annual payment.
81 could not afford to take that
bet,' says the man. 81 might wink
out or be winked out any day
and leave my family penniless."
And the life insurance company
could not afford not to take the
bet because it knew from the law
of averages exactly how long
that man would live and exactly
what chance there was he would
continue his annual payments so
as to keep his life insurance pol
il; 'ygood until he died. The COM
pany knew by the law of averages
that the particular class Of insur-
ed persons to which that man be-
longed would pay in enough and
would forfeit enough insurance
pc:;cies by failing to pay so that
the company would make money
rona the bet. But the man as ar
individual could not depend on
the law of averages in his case.
He might personally be swept out
Of this existence any moment.
In the foregoing instances, we
see illustrations of legitimate bet
ting. The first man may never
get a dime out Of his bet but he
and his family are protected
against being homeless, should
his house burn down. The second
man may fail to keep up his life
insurance payments and thus lose
his policy, but while his payments
are being kept up his family is
assured of help in case Of his

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WHAT "PRoDIJcED ACTION"

In his Washington correspondence Kay Tucker
sovs in The Riehmand Times Dispatch of the af-
fair of General johnson Hagood: E
"General Hagood harnessed the pair { president
Roosevelt and Senator Byrnes) by filing an mme-
d;ste demand for retirement, refusing to await or
doris for three mouths That produced action. Mr..
Roosevelt invited him to come aboard his vacation
train" -. 80 -
Mr. Thicker confirms what The News and Courier
has asserted that General Hagood did not seek the
interview with the president. -.
In the press dispatches the effort persistent
w made to create the impression on the puDhc
mind that Hagood was hanging around the presi-:
don't in the hope of 'vindication"and that Senator
Ryrnes was acting in the besought role OF defender
ard in,ercessor That was all nonsense. Hagood
had no favors to ask.
Tho American people are often mistaken, but
.ho,, kpovv that Hagood is worth cOWpen full OF
his detractors.
Mr. Tucker says that the president did some
..,Ioir and fancy cussng" after the departs
ment,s dismissal of Hagood. But the matter was
"discpssed in the cabinet" that has been repeated
" said. il has been said on the floor of the con
oress and no one has denied It,
Besides, it is hardly conceivable that an effort TO
DISGRACE 4 major general could have been MADE
without the knowledge and consent of the eomman-
der.;n-chef. Such things are not done by "rou-
tine order"
Whatever plain and fancy cussing' was lndnlg-
ed by the president was after the things was done
and the political dynamite" in it was "sensed:
FINALLY il is to be said again that the attempt on
tIouoods ranntation was not wholly an enterprise
of his enemies in the army. The WPA crowd had
been stung by Hagoods apt and accurate deserip-
zion Of IFS wastefulneSS The stage money phrase
got under their skins and maddened them. 80 they
"stormed the war department." and Officers in 1t
who disliked Hagood were emboldened. They knew
the greatness of Director Harry Hopkins and his
man, Aubrey Williams, and with them at their back
felt il was the moment to strike Hagood
The offence of Hagood was that ne told the
truth His shots went home. The WPA is prod
igal waster of the public money. So far as re-
suits are counted, much of it when it is spent IS
'stage money! and that is what Johnson Hagooo
