people of both sexes. 1t seems un-
likely that the present Congress will
adopt anything of the kind, but it
does not seem quite possible that
amendments may be made to the
Security Act to increase the
benefits under that measure for
workers who r aready old, and to
make them available much earlier
than the date set in the original
act, which is January l, 1912.

NATIONALIST the trend

NATIONALISM the trend
From all I can learn, from friends
; who keep in touch with Europe, the
nations that have been trying tc
run on the principle of buying
nothing from other nations are hav-
ing a hard time of it.
l hear that the German people
are hard put to it for food and
clothing and r getting FESTIVE un-
der the Hitler dictatorship. From
Italy, I get similar reports of inter
national unrest and a strong move
ment to restore to the King the
power which Mussolini now Yields.
France, Holland and Switzerland
are having trouble in maintaining
their currencies on the gold stand
ard.
When the present national bar
riers break, I look to see some new
international combinations that will
put it up to America to take a
larger part in world affairs or get
run over.

ture article by Roy H. Park which APP

to our rural subscribers next week.
Where once the curb market sales
were measured in hundreds of dollars.
in 1885 North Carolina farm women's

Postmaster league
Announces
BUILDING TO START
PROBABLY SHORTLY
Condemnation Proceedings
Begun I'M Federal Court To
Acquire Masonic Lot To
Rear Of Post Office; Quart
ers Wanted for Nearly
One Years Time

Bids for temporary quarters for the
Henderson post office during the pc
riod the new construction will be in
progress there were called for today
in letters mailed by Postmaster j. r.
league, on orders from the depart
ment in Washington.
The bids will be opened at the post
office on Thursday, April %, and cal
for the use of the building that may
be leased for period of not less than
eight months, with the option of ex-
tensions for one month at the time.
The specifications call for floor
space of $500 square feet.
Mr. league revealed at the same
time that condemnation proceedings
had been started by the United States
district attorney in this district to &C
quire possession of the Masonic lot to
the rear of the present post office
building, and facing both Winder and
Wyche streets. This action, Mr.. Tea
que said, had been begun in Federal
court.
The government has been negotiat-
ing with the local Masonic lodge for
some months for purchase of the va
cant lot but no agreement has been
reached as to a price, with the result
that the government, feeling the nee
essity of acquiring the property has
gone into the courts to condemn the
site for it's own use.
Another angle involved is the re-
striction in the deed conveying the
property to the Masons by the First
Baptist church many years ago that
any building that might be erected on
the lot should not be nearer winder
street than the line of the present
post office building. The church has
put price Of $1,000 on its waiver of
that restriction.
Indications are that events may
move more rapidly from this time on,
and that the addition to the post Of
flee will get, under way at some early
date. How much money the govern
ment will invest has not been learned

from other crop sales and shipments
by the farm wmoen," writes Mr.. Park.
Under the heading Curb Market
ing Has Become Big Business" the
Henderson market is listed as one of
the 81 successful similar projects Ill
the State.
The article is illustrated with roto-
gravure reproductions of photographs
made of home demonstration curb
markets in Goldsboro and Rocking
ham.
The largest cooperative curb mar
ket in the State, according to The
State Farmer Section article is locat-
ed in Rocky Mount, which in 1885 did
a business of $S2,62365. Durham was
second with $27,48164 and Fayette-
vile third with $16,834.72.

The Interstate Commerce Comn1iss
sion yesterday took under advisement
q motion by shipping interests to dis
miss an application OF railroads for
indefinite extension Of emergency
freight surcharges scheduled to ex-
pire July /.
The hearing on the application was
adjourned pending ruling on the dis
missal motion.
In oral arguments r. v. Fletcher,
counsel for the Association Of Ameri-
can Railroads. said the carriers have
shown a sad need for revenue"
He added that the same conditions
exist now as those under which the
charges were authorized a year ago
and said rising costs of rail operation
constituted a factor in favor of con-
tinuance Of the surcharges.
The commission heard extensive ar
guments against continuance from

Merriam's Action Intriguing.
An important one for Col Knox will
be that in Illinois April -, when he
comes to grips with Senator Borah Of
Idaho.
Political observers were intrigued
by the action yesterday of Gov. Frank
Merriam of California in announcing
he would support Gov. Landon for
the Republican nomination. Prior to
this he had been considered a poten-
tial candidate himself.
Merriam's action emphasized his
apparent hostility to the faction of
State Chairman Earl Warren, friend
Of former President Hoover. The lat
ter has advocated an uninstructed
delegation. Some California observ-
ers expressed the opinion the Mer-
riam and Warren groups soon would
engage in a struggle for party con-
troll in the State.
At Topeka. Kans., Landon declined
to comment on the proposed entry of
his name in California by a group of
candidates pledged to him. nor would
he speak Of Merriam's announcement.
