IMPROVED FARM
PLAN PROMISED
Secretary Wallace Gives
Assurance in Address
Before Federation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, December TO-
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
promised the American farmer bet
ter program than the outlawed triple
A yesterday and declared greater eco
nomic security for those who live OF
the soil Is the objective Of the admin
istration.
Addressing the eighteenth annual
meeting Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the Secretary said: You
may have heard the idea advanced
that the agricultural adjustment act
should be re-enacted; that the pro-
gram carried out under its original
provisions was the best program agri-
culture ever had. But good as that
program was, We want to see it i'm
proved upon. A better program can
and will be built"
: It's attainment, the Secretary said,
centers around some method of con-
trolled production, crop insurance, the
ever normal granary and other sub
jectS essential to agricultural welfare.
Valuable Supplement.
"Crop insurance" the cabinet men,
Der asserted, would be a valuable
supplement to any production adjust
ment problem that happened to be in
effect. To assume it would be COM
plete substitute for production ad-
justment in a series Of years Of normal
weather would be mistake.
''If and when normal weather re-
turns, farmers will find that storage in
the bins will not be sufhcient in itself
to take care of their surplus problems.
They will find that storage in the bins
must be supplemented with greatly
increased storage in the soil. In that
kind of situation. the welfare of
the farmer and the Nation will require
that the farmers again have power
equal to that which they once had I'M
der the agricultural adjustment act
and of which they were deprived by
decision Of the United States Supreme
Court"
Would Provide Reserve.
The plan for crop insurance out
lined by Wallace would provide for
accumulation Of reserve supplies Of
. commodities during the good crop
years, to be drawn upon in time Of
scarcity by farmers who had paid
their insurance premiums In kind.
Co-operators could take their bene-
31ts in kind or in cash.
Wallace said this would not only
raise commodity prices by reducing
the market supply in flush years, but
also would tend to keep prices at rea-
sonable levels in times of scarcity.
Reserve supplies would be put on the
market as prices started TO rise in
the poor crop years.

There were two exceptions. Mrs.
Wynant had been cordial, inviting
her to visit her home in England,
and Miss Arundel had kissed her
warmly, promising to send her some
wedding cake. Miss Nudge flut-
tered along the pier. She had to
get through the customs, but pain

Former Student Dies
(From The Pioneer)

1t was with deep regret that the
students and faculty of Catawba
College learned of the death Of
Mrs. Harry Boyde, who before her
marriage four weeks ago, was Miss
Frances Dyer. She had been i'll
with pneumonia in the Greensboro
hospital and passed away Thursday
night, March II. Miss Dyer grad
uated from Catawba College in
1895 and was one of the outstand-
ing members of the class. The
memory of her ever ready smile
and constant cheerfulness will re-
main in the thoughts of all who
knew her, and the students of the
college offer their heartfelt SYM
pathy to Frances parents and hus-
band.

afraid, in a vast hall that stretched
to infinity, a hall lined with flash
ing mirrors that reflected over and
over again the cheapness of all her
belongings. A week ago she had
felt so chic. And the kiss from
Mr.. Charlton-an act of pity!
That had been cheap, too. Her
face was drained of life. For hours
she lay on her bed without moving.
The cocktail party went on, with
the guests making feverish efforts
to cover up the disappearance Of
Miss Nudge and Joan. Only Dick
went out, after catching the eye Of
the captain. Angela shook herself
clear of the horror she had gone
through.
Captain Barring took out his vio-
lin and settled it tenderly under his
chin. He played for them, softly,
Greig and Bach. Angela sat en-
tranced-not 50 much by the music
as by the strange man who spent
lonely night on the bridge and
could wiring such feeling from his
violin. When he had finished, he
was still remote, as if his playing
was a form of self-indulgence that
he did not care to share with others.
He listended to their compliments
absent-mindedly and left them
without a word.
Miss Nudge left the Marenia at
San Francisco. She was pale and
wore her glasses. Her fringe was
straight and she had given her
Spanish shawl to her stewardness
All of her vanities had been laid
aside, for her mind worked clearly
now. After her tips had geen paid,
she had eight dollars and her railway
ticket to Ohonto. That was that!
She had travelled forty thousand
but had failed to see the
world. She had spent her life's
savings and would have to begin all
over again Another twenty years
with Agatha before it was time for
them to retire on their pensions.
Her dull life lay over her like a

the gangplank, knowing that CLAM
our was only an empty word. She
was sure at last that there was on
[y one sphere in which she could
move. Hereafter she would keep
her wings clipped to her surround
and her thoughts close to the
ground.
She had avoided Dick since the
cocktail party. He had sent her a
note, kind and detached, telling her
that she must forget every word
Miss Foster had said. 1t was now
among her souvenirs-a red balloon,
A swizzle-stick, a cheap little Tana-
era from Athens, a small carved
god, her Jordan water, some gala
favours, her autographed menus, a
snapshot of him at Handy. That
was all. 1t was goodbye.

addresses and promising
lifelong friendship, had been too

Was there something else that one

strong Highland sense of supersti-
ton was aroused. Sweat stood on
his brow. Thoughts flowed
through his mind in molten masses.
The numbness of forty years was
wearing off, and each nerve was a
red-hot needle, coming to life and

The door moved in her face.
"No, no, Dick, don't do that"
She was looking at the closed
door. He had meant it, then. 1t
was all over with Dick, who had
seemed for a brief space to find her
desirable. She knocked at the door
again. There was no response.
She would go to the bar.
An hour later Joan was on her
way to the top deck again, with the
vague idea to having a plunge to
cool herself off. That IDIOT Mac
duff was standing at the top, star

as good an occasion as any to tell
him what she thought of him.
There were times when Joan burned
to express her true opinion of some
of her fellow passengers and here
was a good chance.

enquired, reeling up against him.

Ing. My pain would be so intense It
would nauseate me I would Just

Catawba Negative
Defeats Univ. OF =
Dayton Debaters
(From The Pioneer)

The negative debating team OF
Catawba College, composed Of
Harold Wolfinger and Edward
Stull defeated the affirmative team
of the University of Dayton on
Friday night, March IS, in a highly
interesting debate in the recital hall
of the music building by the decis-
ion of three judges.
The debate started at eight
o'clock before a fair-sized group of
college students and faculty men,
bers. Herbert L. Stoolman, chair
man of the debate, announced that
the query was, Resolved: That
congress should be authorized by
a two-thirds majority to override
a decision of the supreme court de-
claring an act of congress unconsti-
tutional," and then presented the
respective speakers.
Both sides presented convincing
arguments, but the Catawba team
used a bit of strategy hat caught
the Dayton team u]nprepared and
won the debate for them. All four
participants presented smashing re-
buttals but in this department the
Catawba boys again excelled. Three
prominent citizens of Salisbury,
Rev. G. Fitz, Mr.. Carl K. Ramsey,
and Mr.. Clifford Beck, acting as
judges, gave the Catawbaa team the
decision by a wide margin. This
debate concluded the negative sides
schedule for this season.
