Unfortunately. there is no simple
answer to the last two questions
Acne is really a skin disease

Unwise to Leave Home

They probably haven't the
slightest idea that any such mad
notion as going off by yourself to
be self-supporting and indepen-
dent has ever entered your head.
Not that it's a mad notion. but in
your particular case it seems to
me very, very mad and very. very
sad. It's so unnecessary.
You are an only child. which I
assume means a greatly loved one.
You could have such a pleasant
home-life and apparently need not
work unless you feel the urge to
do so. Thousands of girls would
envy you. Indeed. I predict that
once having tried to be on your
own, you would give good deal
to be back under your fathers
roof and under his protection A
lone girl does not have any easy
time Of it. You make no mention
of any especial qualifications for a
job. How can you be sure that you
could be self-supporting and inde-
pendent?
A sensible plan would be to tell
your parents how you feel and to
avow your intention of finding
yourself a job. A job in itself
brings a measure of independence.
I DO not see why it should be nec-
essary for you to leave home. 1t
would be a most unwise move until
you knew definitely that you could
get a job which would make you
self-Supporting and independent.

object to my smoking. don't like
me to go to public dances, and

Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-12-23

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Gross farm
income from the production of 1896
will probably approach $9,2OO,G 900,
as compared with $8.50S,00C, 900 from
the production of 1885, and S5,337 ,OOO,-
600 In 1922. says Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace, in hie annual
report to the Presidenc. TIE report,
which was made public eoday, indi-
Gates that the net income III line with
the trend since 1888 will show pro-
portionately more gain than the gross
income.
Net income is what the farmers
have left after paying production ex-
penses, rent, interest, taxes, and the
wages of hired labor, and allowing
for the depreciation of buildings and
equipment Since 1888 farm commod-
ity prices have risen more than pro-
duction expenses and other charges,
SO that farmers have had a widening
margin between costs and prices. In
1885 the net income available to farm
operators was more than three times
as large as in 1882, and though the
figures for 1886 have not as yet been
compiled they will undoubtedly bet
ter the showing of the previous year.
From a production standpoint, says
the report, the year 1886 ranked next
to 1884 as the most disastrous season
in the history of he county. Records
going back to the early 1905 include
no comparable seasons of general crop
failure. Geographically, the drought of
