in the suspicious event.
Following the singing Of the alma
mater, DR.. Howard Omwake, pre-
sident of the college, made a brief
Introductory address in which he set
up the ideals of a liberal arts col
lege. DR.. Omwake emphasized the
fact that physical education is an
intregral and necessary part of a
liberal art college and as such helps
out the ideals of hard work, clean
living, and fair play.
Edgar Whitener, of High Point,
chairman of the board of trustees,
and Carlye Sheppard, of Guilford,
president of the North State Con-
ference Athletic Association, gave
short talks after which the college
was presented with three beautiful
flags. Paul Phillips, president of the
chamber of commerce, presented a
blue and white Catawba college
flag. DR.. C. E. Wheeler, president
of the Civitan club, presented the
North Carolina flag, and Robert
Wingate, commander of the Samuel

gifts and in turn presented them to
the three upper classes. A. L. Jar
rell, local contractor in charge of
the building of the grandstand, con-
cluded the speeches for the after
noon.
The crowd rose to its feet and
sang America" As the last notes

ed and the spectators saluted the

Washington.-The North Caro-
lima Utilities commission and the
State Traffic league Monday won
a six-year fight when the Interstate
Commerce commission ordered
new railroad rates on practically
all commodities shipped into and
from the State lowered.
The next reduction equal 10 per
cent, though it will be found it
was pointed out, that in some in
stances slight increases have been
made on some commodities in order
to equalize rates generally.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission inaugurated a study of the
entire North Carolina freight struc-
ture, especially as to textiles. The
hearing before the entire commits
sion was held three years ago the
coming winter on the report of the
examiners, and after long delibera-
ton ordered new rates on southern
classification as to North Caroline
shipments which amount to Is pei
cent in some instances, and slight
increases in Others, but averaged
10 per cent.
The commission December 9
1885 amended its proceedings anc
made the reduced rates effective
Nov. 1, of this year, upon urgent
RICHEST of railroads, and they later
asked for another postponement Of
six months. Last Saturday the
North Carolina Utilities commits
sion joined with the Traffic league
in an earnest protest against furthe,
postponement, charging that the
requests for postponement was :

The commission, however, in ar
order stood adamant, and ordered
the rates effective November l

Lady's Painful Trouble
Helped By Cardui

Why do so many women take Car
1ui for the relief Of functional pains
at monthly times? The answer is
that they want results such as Mrs.

describes. She writes: my health
wasn't good. I suffered from cramp-
ing. My pain would be so intense it
would nauseate me. I would just
drag around, so sluggish and do
less My mother decided to give me
Cardui. I began to mend. That tired,
sluggish feeling was gone and the
pains disappeared. I can't praise
Cardui too highly because I know
it helped me-" -. If Cardui does not

(From The Pioneer)

A group Of Catawba students,
members of the Adelph; ans, Ca
rawba ministerial club, visited the
local prisor-camp, which is about
three miles beyond Salisbury. The
group was composed of David
Shull, John Snyder, Herbert Stool
man, Harry Carolus, Albert Shen-
berger, and Christopher Moss.
At the camp, the delegation wa
admitted to the outer enclosure by
the unlocking of a large, barred
cate. Once inside, and the gate
closed, talking and singing could
be heard coming from a low, bar
red building, where over a hundred
reeroes were housed. When it was
made known that a religious service
was t o held, the prisoners were
transferred across the small lot to
rhe barred "mess hall' on the OPP
posite side.
The men were a motley lot
some big, some small, and many
looking as if life had battered them
considerably. An occasional per-
son had his legs chained together
50 that he could walk, but lot run.
Some looked fairly happy (prob-
ablv because it was Sunday and
hence no work., but many were
sullen and stony-faced.
Once inside the "mess hall", the
men made room for the Adelphian
bows, who were admitted, and, at
the opposite end of the room, pre-
pared to hold a meeting. Albert
Sbenberser conducted the service;
Shull read from the scriptures;
Moss offered an Introductory pray
err; and Carolus made a talk on the
subject, 1.-The Prodigal Son. This
was followed by a short prayer of
fered by Snyder.
After the service, the negroes
entertained their visitors with group
singing of native "spirituals"-
some of them composed within the
group. A quartet of the boys also
sang numbers for certain small
COINS offered by Mr.. Stoolman.

Homesickness
By Paul Bode


hampers the freshman's progress
during his first weeks at college?
Why can't he become accustomed
to this change of environment in a
few days? Homesickness- is the
answer, precisely. The swarms Of
Catawba freshmen may have ex-
perienced homesickness to a greater
or lesser degree. l feel it to the
uttermost.
Possibly, l had more and better
reasons to pine away for the old
homestead than most fellow STU
dents. Having been the son of an
orphan home superintendent, and
living at the Home" since I was
five years of age, l gained scores
of friends, and looked upon the
boys Of the Home as brothers.
Whenever an intimate friend left
the institution, l would, naturally,
become conscious of a heavy loss.
You can, therefore, easily conceive
how utterly downcast l became up
on separation from sixty close
friendships when l boarded the
train for a destination some seven
hundred miles distant.
| miss the Home" itself with
its fine facilities for sports. After
the completion of a days work at
high school, we would usually in
dulge in a game of football or base
ball, according to the season. Due
to the lack of ambition or the lack
of leisure we play little football or
baseball at college, unless we are
members of the varsity or the in
tramural teams, the 1atter's sche-
dulles being very seldom carried out.
In place of this, the students, my
self included, spend their idle hours
in sleeping, going to movies, and
occasionally playing a bit of tennis.
For exercise and diversion | take off
on a hike frequently. However,
this type of relaxation gives me a
better opportunity to get the hol-
low homesick feeling. Such meager
variations in my days amusements
make me, at times, wish I were still
at the 'tHome."
The larger his family, the more
homesick a college student will be-
come. This is another reason for nv
extremely gradual adaptation to
college life. l have four sisters and
a brother. What could make one
feel more down in the mouth.
though inspired, than to receive
word from home, telling of the ex-
PLOTS of the kid brother and little
sisters, who are having the time of
their lives, but miss big brother?
To top it off, there is the little
sugar plum" the girl of my
dreams, waiting every day for me
to come home. By heck, if this
snooksie-wooksie had the necessary
pecuniary resources and time he

Doughton Praises Farm
Program IN Speech At
Grange Meet Wednesday

Citing the AAA, the fam credit
administration act, the establish
ment Of the. CCC camps and est
ablishment of good roads as ae-
complishments of the present adj
m~inistration in aiding agriculture,
Congressman Robert L. Doughton
was the principal speaker here
Wednesday before several hundred
Rowan county farmers at the fifth
annual meeting of the Pomona
Grange, held at Peeler's Lake.
Mr.. Doughton told the audience,
that he was born On a farm and
had been striving to aid agricul-
ture for more than Is years in
congress.
He stated Rowan farmers had
good land, good climate and a
proximity to market, three essen
tial advantages.
/ The veteran legislator pointed
out that in 1921 farm prices began
to decline which precipitsted farm
ers into heavy debt, caused many
to go into bankruptcy, and the
lack of purchasing power of the
farmer induced a national economic
disaster to all lines of business act
ivity, the speaker said.
The administration found it
self in this situation in 1888 and
President Roosevelt called upon
the farmers to evolve some plan by
which they might solve their prob
lens. The AAA was the result
and while this agency was in eff
feet prices of all farm products
advanced from a starvation level
to that which enabled the farmer
to make a profit. Cotton at 5
cents a pound, tobacco at 3 to 4
cents a pound, were some of the
disastrous prices in existence.
Mr.. Doughton held no censur<
of the Supreme Court for declar-
ing the act unconstitutional but
pointed out that the present admin,
i~stration had supplanted the AAA
with he present soil conservation
program. =.
Mr.. Doughton stated that thi
: State had received $29,O00,0o(
from the Federal treasury sine
1888 for good roads, and that NJ
had asked to be removed as a mem
Der of the House committee OF
banking and currency in 1916 IL
