NEXT TERM WILL BE NO PARTY FOR
PRESIDENT
INV BRUCE CATION

No matter who wins the coming elec-
ton, lonely and frequently very tired
man is going to be occupying the Whlte
House during the next four years. The
prospects are so dark it is wonder any
man would want the job. .
For the country is in the midst OF pc
ried of considerable stress, and the focal
point of this stress will rest squarely in the
middle of the executive mansion. Consld-
err, for moment, what the occupant will
be UP against.
He will be forced to decide whether the
United States is going to swing to the right
or to the left during the next four years.
Whoever the winner is, the pressure on him
will be tremendous; and if he tries to heW
a straight middle course it will be greater
than ever, for each side will accuse him OF
going in the wrong direction.
He will have to direct the foreign policy
of the>most powerful nation in the world at
time when-unless all observers are mis-
taken-the world will be in greater dan
ger efastumblmg into war than at any time
since 1918.
Hgwill be faced with the titanic task of
ere&ing defenses against the drouth and
erosion that have become so dangerous so
our future as an agricultural nation. In
SOME ways this will be one of his greatest
tasks, since it involves nothing less than
preserving the physical assets of the land
from incalculable natural forces.
He will be held responsible, rightly or
wrongly, for the maintenance of American
prosperity in a world which is following
selfish and blind nationalistic policies that
lead away from prosperity. There will not
be great deal that he will be able to do
abott this, and he will have the comfort OF
knowing that, no matter what course he
follows, he will meet with determined OPP
position.
1t is the same way with unemployment
Here, again, the president should not be
held wholly responsible, or even chiefly re,
spo1sfble, for the growth or diminution OF
that terrible problem. But his fellow citi
zen5 will blame him, just the same. 1t may

cesses. Nowadays the successes
far outnumber the poor results.
Cleft palate is a very serious
handicap in life. It is usually as
ISOLATED with a hare lip, which con-
sists in a cleft in the lip to one
side of the midline, the cleft going
right into the i1ostril and being
carried back to the roof Of the
mouth SO that there is a gaping
assure into the center Of the nose.
It is estimated that one put Of
every 2,4OO babies is born with this
deformity.
The palate consists Of two parts
the hard, bony part in front, and
the movable soft part that hangs
down at the base of the tongue.
The soft palate uses its muscles
to close off the back Of the nasal
passages from the mouth in swal-
lowing, and to divert the air which
is exhaled from the lungs through
the nasal passages.
Frequently the soft palate alone
is found cleft in the baby, and
makes itself known by the fact
that milk instead Of being swal-
lowed regurgitates into the nose.
When the hard palate also is cleft,

are much greater.
Cause of DefOrmities
The cause Of these deformities
is failure in embryoligical de-
velopment. In the formation of
the face in the foetus in the womb,
the two sides grow around toward
each other just as you would bring
your two arms around in front and
clasp your fingers. Each side car
ries the same organs so that we
have bilateral facial features. The
site when union takes place can
be seen in the philtrurn or depres-
sion in the middle Of the upper lip.
This union takes place about the
third month Of intra-uterine life,
and its failure is the cause of cleft
palate and hare lip.
The consequences of these de-
fornities, if allowed to go on, are
very Gripping. The difficulty in eat.
ing makes for poor nutrition. The
reorganization Of food into the deli
cate nasal cavities disposes to-
ward infection and ear troubles.
The effect on appearance and the
well-knoHn difficulties of speech
have an Inevitable effect on the
child's psychology.
Cleft palate or hare lip Is never
outgrown, although this belief Is
cherished by many people to the
detriment oe their children. Plates
fitted to the roof OF Ii:s .iicuth to
cover the cleft are never satisfac-
tory Fortunately, as have said,
modern plastic surgery has been
brought to such a state that 1t
may be said that any case of this
kind, no matter how severe, can be
improved, and most of them can
be restored, so that hardly any diff
Guilty remains.
Most surgeons skilled in this
work think that the best time to
operate is between six and eight
cen months. The earlier the better

Efird's large department store in
Henderson is one of many similar
stores owned by that company in
North and Couth Carolina and Vir-
GINA. Yet it is doubtful if any of
them, in cities the size of Henderson,
and some even larger, have more at
tractive store than the one here.
Efird entered Henderson first about
two years ago. The store is located
in the O'Neil building on South Car
nett street, two doors north of the
post office, in the heart of the shop
ping district. The interior finishings
and the handsome front of the build
ing give an appearance of ultra
modernism in store equipment The
Efird store in Henderson is making
the most of this advantage offered in.
the locality chosen for the concern
here.
G. E. Danner is the genial manager
of the store. He has been with the
company long time, and before COM
ing to Henderson was in the large
Efird department store in Kannapolis.
1t was there that he learned Efird
business practices and principles.
Courtesy and patience in helping Gus
toners to find their wants in the
way of merchandise is a cardinal
principle observed by the manager
and all of his assistants in the estab-
lishment
Efird's is family shopping head
quarters-no less in Henderson than
in stores of the company in much
larger cities. Anticipating a big trade
during the fall season, the store has
made preparations for serving the
greatest army of patrons in it's his
tory. 1t is Offering specials for the
opening of the tobacco market next
Tuesday and extending a cordial in
vitation to farmers to bring their to-

public in this Efird store, but at
prices that will please and satisfy as
well as surprise for their moderate
levels in many instances.

Putatlon was established in Hender-

and tire line was added. Larger
quarters became essential, but these
were soon outgrown. Then came the
property at the corner of Garnett
and Spring streets, where the big
establishment is now located. And at
that place the business has grown
and prospered. The distribution fea-
ture was added, and a large storage
tank center was established west of

OF the largest gasoline and tire dis
