Secretary Of
Agriculture Sees
No Food Shortage

Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture, lashed out Monday
night at Colorado Springs, Colo, at
"alarmists and propagandists" who,
he charged, "have tried for their
own purposes to scare the consumer
about food scarcity as result of
the drought.
Reciting steps the government con-
templates to aid drought-harassed
farmers, particular in the middle
west, the Secretary, in an address
said purchases of livestock for which
no fed was available will be handl-
ed so that neither consumers nor
growers are penalized.
"There is no likelihood now of
anything approaching a national
food shortage" Wallace said.
eve are much better supplied
with food for livestock than we were
in 1884. There is an ample supply
of vegetables and other food.
Even if the corn crop in the mid
die west should be cut severely, the
effect would not be felt Immediately.
In time it would be translated into
higher prices for pork. Hogs, or most
of them at any rate, are raised on
corn. Any shortage in the grain in
evitably reduces the pork supply a
year later, but on the whole there
is no excuse for substantial increases
in food prices now. The persons who
are using the drought as an excuse
to increase their profits are taking
advantage of human suffering"

Chautauqua will begin. A fine fac
ulty has been secured and all the

by towns and communities will have
the privilege of attending.
That evening at 800 p. m. DR..
Robert King, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, of Johnson

great expounder of the Bible and has
a passion for lost souls. It is to be a

it was their duty to side with their brothers in
trouble took occasion to jeer at the patrolman
and otherwise try to embarrass him. But they
did not count on the resourcefulnesS OF this
representative of the law. Instead Of being en-
barrassed, Mr. Thomas turned the tables and
marched the crowd-about twenty in all-up to
the mayors office where their names were taken
and reported to proper authorities in Raleigh
1t has come to sad pass when men are hired
by the state and draw state pay to build roads
and then are not willing to abide by the laws of
that state in regard to using these same roads.
It is still sadder pass when the respect for the
law has fallen SO low that offenders should be
able to find friends to side with them.
Laws are made for the good of the people
and the observation of them, especially on the
highways, often means saving lives and limbs.
Highways are not as drivers sometimes think,
private boulevards for one, but roads for the
use of all who pay taxes to keep them up.
And, if we cannot respect the law without
being made, it is well that the state provides
teachers for us.

Judge Oglesby

The death of Judge John M. Oglesby removes
from the North Carolina bench one of its out
standing figures, and brings deep sorrow to
hundreds of his friends throughout the state.
Judge Oglesby was friendly and sympa-
thetic man. but one who was known to allow no
trif1ing with the dignity of the court. For this
reason, he was often dreaded by witnesses and
attorneys alike as he soon gave both to under
stand that he was able and competent to preside
over his own court without help from either.
This did not mean; however, that he was biased
or unfair, for his reputation of fairness, but
firmness, was known far and wide
He was just reaching the height of his career
when death cut him down, but his example as
a judge who knew the law and was able to make
his own decisions quickly and fairly will live
after him.

Men Out Of Work
Because Of Machine
5000 Coal Miners Are Reported
Permanently JObless in
West Virginia

A determined effort to find work
for thousands 70 soft coal miners
rendered jobless by mechanization
Of mines was pledged this week by
officials of the National Bituminous
Coal commission.
''The commission is vitality inter-
ested in this question:" Commission
er c. E. Smith said, 'for, unless
something is done, it is our opinion
there soon won't be an independent
coal mine left in operation"
Smith said large coal operators,
unhampered by government regula-
ton of prices, were mechanizing
their mines to greater degree than
ever, reducing their procution costs
and underselling competitors.
"At the same time, however," he
said, they are displacing workers,
and Congress has directed the COM
mission to study the question with
view in finding new avenues of en-
pIoyment for them, if possible"
Smith said he had learned there
were 5000 miners permanently job
less in northern West Virginia.
"And there will be 5000 .jobless
in 60 days." he added, unless some
thing is done"
The commission said it was hoped
the Works Progress administration
would be able to offer at least tenn
porary assistance, but added some
relaxation of WPA regulations prob
ably would be necessary to make
such aid possible.
He said the majority of the miners
involved had not been unemployed
long enough to make them eligible
for WPA jobs, the deadline for reg
istration for such employment hav-
ing passed before they lost their jobs
in the mines.

God Provides, Man Wastes

In vast Western arear of the United States
the earth is blowing away.
1t has come to be known as the Dust Bowl
area
The winds have been blowing the dust off
into mountains over that terrain of 100000
acres, and now this vast territory is unfit for
human uses.
1t is desert.
You see pictures in the papers of horses with
with forlorn expressions searching for water in
streams where they aforetime slaked their
thirst and CATTLE growing lank and lean, search
ing desperately for food
You see where the President is taking steps,
where the farm executives of the National gov
eminent are in conference where financial pow
ers in Washington are allocating millions for
relief for the human beings and starving cattle
in this stricken area.
And you wonder at this freak of Nature
why Gods creation has gone on spree of this
grim kind!
But the same changing of the paradise of
farming out West into Sahara is going on right
under our very noses in the Carolnas, and only
the few sense the tragedy of the situation
While the wind is blowing the agricultural
empire OF the western States into arid territories
OF bleakness and barrenness water erosion is
performing the same trick in Mecklenburg
county, in North Carolina, in the whole of the
eastern belt of the United States
Those now living could not conceivably live
long enough to see the eventual horror that will
come to our own farms because of this waste by
the erosive processes of water leveling our fields
and draining their rich fertilities into the
streams.
But years away it is conceivable that the dust
bowl terrors that are being experienced today
out yonder will have their counterpart in the
Carolinas unless sensible and immediate steps
are taken to put an end to the erosion that is
now going on
God has provided abundantly in rich soils
for our section as He did likewire for the agra
rian Eden of the midwest, but mans wastes can
bring to naught all that an infinite and kindly
Providence has planted for his benefit and adj
vancement.-The Charlotte Observer

Scientists See New
Comet Far Away

Peltier's comet, recently discover
ed member of the solar system, now
is visible to the naked eye, DR.. Fred
L. Whipple, of Harvard college OBJ
Servatory, announced Monday, but il
is likely to be a disappointment tc
the average observer.
At present about 100000 miles
away, it is just point of light in
the constellation Cepheus, about sc
degrees from the north pole, visible
only under the most favorable con-
ditions to a person with good eye
sight.
It cannot at present be seen when
there is moonlight, nor can it be
seen in a large city or its suburbs
where light is radiated into the sky
The comet will increase in bright
ness until August 4, although it new
er will be conspicuous object, DR.
Whipple said, and will be visible
throughout the night in the northern
hemisphere. By July q it should be
more easily seen, appearing like a
fuzzy star, he continued, and by that
time, it will have moved far south
ward, toward the celestial equator
It's tail, unfortunately, DR.. Whipple
added, will not be discernible, as it
is pointed away from the earth.

July 4 Celebated With Death

With the exception of seven states in our
union of forty-eight the Fourth Of July was cele-
brated this year with an almost record toll of
deaths. Statistics say the list of death, AL in
number, that were recorded on the fourth is the
second largest list in the past nine years
North Carolina counted itself lucky to report
only twelve deaths only three of which were
by automobile. The automobile took the largest
number of lives out of the AL which were di-
vided death by automobiles, 254; drownings
1O3; frecrackers, z; and brawls, falls, and the
like II.
Since the United States entered the automo-
bile age, human life has been held lightly on
highways. We wonder what sort of Fourth
we might have next year, if the night before we
gathered all our friends and our relatives to-
gether and very solemnly told them good bye
settled our worldly affairs and prepared to die
before we started out to celebrate the next day
