5th avenue from the north end of
Central park at 10th street. A street
of baths, barber shops, dim wine
rooms and drug stores stressing
remedies for social ills. The ma
tives are called spies Many on
Sunday evening wear the latticed
pants, open shirts and plush SOM
breroS of old Seville. Here the
romance of love takes on hematoid
hue and almost daily flares out in
jealous quarrels and stabbings
The knife is the dueling weapon
of frustrated Romeos. At night, in
lieu of balconies, there is a win
dow guitarist in almost every
house. The only Spanish movie in
town is in the area.

KING FOOTBALL AND THE
RECREATION PROBLEM

When the Union High School Spart-
ans take to the gridiron Friday night
for their first season game and other
valley teams start their autumn sche-
dulles, the events are more than just
local episodes They are proof that
King Football has mounted his throne
to reign over the field of sports from
September to New Years
Masses of people pack huge stadiums,
cheering wildly as groups Of young men
battle on the turf. These audiences are
wildly favorable to one group and wild
ly opposed to the other. And when its
all over everybody goes home tired out,
friends of the winners elated, friends of
the losers depressed
No one can survey the field of sports
and fail to realize that healthy sporting
events are just as necessary in this life
as sleeping and learning and eating.
Without recreation life is colorless
and drab existence.
Especially is this true as the mechan-
ization of industry advances. AS machin-
cry has reduced working hours from ID
hours down to II hours, then down to
10, then down to it is apparent that the
problem of best using spare time is of
paramount Importance.
Importance.
Parents know that children get into
mischief, not when in school, but when
out of school, This gives communities
their problem of juvenile delinquency.
The importance of sports and participa-
tion in other healthy recreational pas
times, lies in the fact that youth is pro-
vided with ways and means of pleasant
ly having fun instead of developing
ways which are less acceptable to soci-
ETY..
Everyone therefore welcomes King
Football and thanks him and all his kim
dred sporting monarchs for their contri-
button to modern civilization.

under and restricted crops in pursuance
of policy declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court and broke their
solemn pledge to conserve the domestic market
for the American farmer.
Under the New Deal there has been an in
credible increase in the importation of foreign
markets. Since President Roosevelt took office,
importationS of crude foodStuffS have increased
Al per cent and manufactured foodstuffs 49
per cent. ImportationS of wheat rose from 5000
bushels to more than 27,000000 bushels, while
importations of foreign corn jumped from 344,-
900 bushels to more than 100000 bushels.
In the meantime, expectations of American
wheat to foreign countries dropped until in 1885
they were only a hundredth of what they had
been before the New Deal, while expectations
of flour decreased AZ per cent, meat products
droppd 10 per cent, and lard 80 per cent.
New Deal administration speaks for itself In
the summer of 1888, the government paid farm
erS under the AAA to plow up 10,50O,OO0 acres
of growing cotton or 25 per cent of the total
acreage. The Bankhead cotton act of 1884 later
repealed by the New Deal Congress- set limit
of lO000000 bales of cotton to be marketed by
farmers from the 1934-l935 crop. The AAA re-
tired approximately 36,000,000 acres of corn,
wheat cotton, and tobacco from cultivation, or
one-tenth of the land in cultivation in the
United States.
In the fall of 1888, the AAA destroyed 100000
pigs and slaughtered 100000 prospective mother
sows at waste exceeding S30000,000. The total
live weight of the pigs and sows slaughtered
was 443, 348 pounds. OF this, only 97y064,15s
pounds of food products were obtained. The rest
was converted into inedible grease for fertilizer
and was buried.

JULY FOURTH
Vote PUZZLES
Candidates Unable to Tell
Effect of Holiday on
Coming Ballot
By CHILES COLEMAN
limited Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, June Is. (UP).-
Political pickups:
There's one factor in the run
off primary for governor that no
one-not even the candidates
themselves - can figure out.
that's the actual effect of holding
AN election on the Fourth of July
It's North Cardinals first ma
tional holiday election, so there's
no precedent upon which to lean.
Tou can hear equally convinc-
ing arguments from both guber-
material camps as to which side it
will cid the most. Mcdonald folks
say many of the votes in the Nc
Donald column will come from the
class of people who stay home on
the Fourth of July anyhow, and
50 can be counted on to flock to
the polls....
Hoey fcrces counter with the
assertion that the Mcdonald sup
port is vested largely in the sort
of people who will spend July the
Fourth picnicking and bathing,
and hence will not bother to vote
while the Hoey support comes
from people who viii take a long
vacation later in the summer, and
hence will be willing to forego
their Fourth of July outing and
stay home to vote....It's all specu-
lation, though, because no one
really knows what will happen....
You can lay your money on
this, though: the record vote of
$4,000 ballots in the first pri-
mary will not be surpassed or
even approached in the run-otf....
at least, that's the practically
unanimous opinion of Capitol Hill.
Candidates defeated in the
first primary did not join Mrs.
Robertson Wohl, who ran for
treasurer, in climbing aboard the
bandwagonS Of gubernatorial can
didates. She came out with a
statement for Hoey two days al
ter the voting, but thus far all
other losing candidates have chos-
en- to play it close to the belt,
taking sides for no one. That, OF
course, includes Sandy Graham,
whose word one way or another
right now would just about swing
the governors race.
If he had said so himself eth
er during the campaign or after
his defeat for denomination by
w. Kerr Scott, it would have
sounded like an alibi, but the fact
remains that Agricultural Com
missioner William A. Graham was
under a physicians orders not to
make speeches nor engage in ac,
tive. campaigning mention OF
which is intended to take none of
the credit from the Scott forcLs
for bang-up campaign.
Headquarters of both Hoey and
Mcdonald fairly TEEN with maps
|. all of North Carolina, of
course there are maps lined
in red ink by congressional dis
tricts maps of counties spok-
en- in and counties not spoken in
maps of counties carried and
counties lost in the first primary
even blue-prints, in the Nc
Donald headquarters, instead OF
