TOBACCO GROWER PAYS
TRIBUTE TO AAA

Considerable attention was
claimed by Bill Wilson, Caswell
county, N. c., grower, when he
drove an Ox-cart into Danville
bearing a load Of tobacco for sale
on the local market. Over the
Ox's back was draped large
sign reading: '"The AAA is dead,
so back to the good old days."
Wilson said it was his way of ex-
pressing his opinion on the action
Of the Supreme court i'm invali-
dating the AAA. He said ~ could
hardly pay the taxes on my 10
acres of land before the AAA
came. Since then have made
enough to live on decently."

Late King Had Shy Nature
Shyness prevented King George
from being one of Britain's great
kings.
He lacked the ability to make
friends with anybody and every
body at a minutes notice, quality
so largely possessed by his father
King Edward, and his son, the
Prince of Wales.
That the personalities Of British
rulers have been exerted on mod
ern British governments it not de-
MED. Queen Victoria swayed her
prime ministers by her likes and
dislikes, and King Edward VII dab
bled in foreign affairs.
But George V never departed
from the most strict constitutional
rule.
Under a heavy burden of greater
responsibilities than any of his pre-
decessors- because the monarch is
now the sole link binding the self
governing dominions to Britain
George died with the knowledge
that he had strengthened the throne
and brought the British peoples in
to a new era Of empire.

Prince OF Wales Assumes King
ship At Once; Roosevelt
Sends Sympathy
NO CHANGE IN POLICIES

Great Britain's beloved King
George died peacefully Monday
Just before midnight.
The Prince of Wales, his 41-year-
old bachelor son, automatically be-
came king of the worlds largest
empire.
The kindly, 70-year-old George
v was unconscious at the end.
Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales
and other members of the royal
family and the Archbishop of Can
terbury were at the bedside when
he died.
A sudden, four-day illness caused
His Majesty's death. He suffered an
attack of bronchial catarrh, accom-
panied by heart weakness.
Weeping, the Queen was led
away supported by her eldest SON
the new king-and the chamber
was darkened. Later Tuesday the
Monarch's body was taken to Sam
dringham church and then removed
to London to lie in state in West
minister Abbey for final tribute
from the public which loved him so
well.
Parliament was called into SeS-
sion Tuesday afternoon.
The new king returned to Lon
don later in the day after attending
the session and receiving the oath
of allegiance: He remained up until
the early hours of the morning con-
Sulting his brothers about the fun
eral arrangements.
He indicated he would adopt the
title king Edward WIZ through
message he sent to the lord mayor
of London announcing his fathers
death. His grandfather, who died in
1910 and was succeeded by George,
was Edward VII.
New King Has Z Names
Democratic peoples who live else
where than in Europe are often
amused at the multiplicity of names
which are wished upon aristocratic
babies, and especially royal ones, at
the baptismal fonts of countries
that support monarchies.The Prince
of Wales, with seven Christian
names-Edward Albert Christian
George Andrew Patrick David-has
been an especial inspiration of
smiles by faces that are identified
to their democratic fellowmen by
one or two, or, at most, three Chris
tan appeilations.
Behind all of these names, when
he is formally designed in print, is
a cluster of anywhere from 20 to
SO initials, authorizations of the SUM-
dry knighthoods and orders and
decorations that have been confer
red upon him by his own sovereign
parent and by the rulers of many
friendly lands.
Each of his seven Christian titles
represents persons or peoples dear
to the hearts of his parents. Ed
ward, the foremost of his names
the only one by which he is gener-
ally expected to be known when he
ascends the throne from his
grandfather, King Edward VII, so
many of whose traits and attractive
characteristics the future Edward
VIII has inherited.
He was called Albert after his
great-grandfather, the Prince Con-
sort of Queen Victoria. He was
named Christian after the monarch
who sat upon the throne of Den
mark, from whose royal family his
grandmother, the late Queen Dow

Recreation Leader
Available Here For
Spring Months
Teachers And Others Interested
Should Get In Touch With
F. p. Cook, Lansing

Rev. F. P. Cook, of Lansing, has
received a letter informing him
that a recreational leader for this
section is available if the demand is
such that he will receive coopera-
ton. Those who are interested in
taking advantage Of the opportun-
ity offered are asked to get in touch
with Mr.. Cook at once.
The letter to Mr.. Cook follows:
Dear Mr.. Cook:
We are fortunate in receiving an
appropriation from the Kappa Del
ia Phi Sorority to help support an
itinerant recreation leader for our
mountain area for the six months
beginning January l, 1896. We have
secured as our leader Mr.. Richard
Chase of the Institute of Folk Music
from the University of North Caro-
lima. AS you perhaps know, Mr..
Frank Smith is now situated at the
John c. Campbell Folk School,
Brasstown, North Carolina.
During January Mr.. Chase is
here at Berea helping to train with
in our Opportunity School set up a
group in recreational activities and
leadership. But from January q to
June 80 he is open for engagements
at our mountain centers. We can Of
fer him on the following terms:
Board and room during the time
he is at a center.
Local transportation while he is
at center.
Transportation if possible from
his last engagement.
When possible a small appropri-
alton toward the general recreation
budget.
We advise engagements no short
er than two weeks, and feel that a
more permanent contribution can
be made if he stays for a month.
On a separate sheet of paper we
are listing the activities which Mr..
Chfve has to offer. From the center
where he is staying he hopes to
be able to serve some of the public
rural schools in the area. He has
been doing a unique service at rur-
al schools in North Carolina teach
ing children's songs and giving his
Punch and Judy Show which by
the way is an entirely different
version than the one given by Mr..
Smith. Mr.. Chase is also prepared
to help train groups for the Folk
Festival in the schools which are
looking forward to participating
this spring.
If you are interested in having
Mr.. Chase spend time with you,
will you please write to me at once,
indicating the time which would
best suit your convenience. Then I
shall work out his itinerary and as
far as possible will try to meet your
wishes. I am most happy to recon-
mend Mr.. Chase and to be able to
offer to you on such reasonable
terms the service he can give.
Sincerely yours,
HELEN H. DINGMAN.

AT DOUGLAS HOME
 Taken suddenly with severe pains in his stomach, Willie Kinch, AZ, well known Douglas Indian, died at his home in the village last evening about 930 o'clock, just a short time after he had come from Juneau by taxi. According to the report, Kinch had been in a Juneau cafe. shortly before calling the cab to return to Douglas, and what he had taken in the cafe apparently was too much for his system to digest. The de- ceased had arrived in town Sunday from the vicinity of Point Arden, where he had been camping out with James Willis.
 Bereaved of his wife about three years ago, Kinch leaves four chil- dren, two boys and two girls, the eldest being 16, and the youngest about T, both of them boys, With them, he lived with their grandpar- ents, MT. and Mrs. John Weaver. He also has a grandmother, living in Wrangell.

HOMECOMING
 BPWC AFFAIR
 BIG SUCCESS
Forty Members and Guests Enjoy Most Perfect
 Evenlng

Forty members and guests of the Business and Professional Woman's Club gathered last evening at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. David Waggoner for their annual Christ mas homecoming party.
 Red streamers with silver icicles, lighted wreaths, large electric can- dle, and a beautiful little tree turned the large living and dining rooms into a place of Christmas cheer. It was an ideal setting for homecom- | ing party A large basket covered with red and green paper was placed near the tree and as the members entered they placed their gifts in it. Lights were dimmed as Mrs. H. s. Graves called her Earth Child" to bring in the five fairy princesses, school students, who entered sing ing Silent Night" They were dressed in long blue costumes and as they sang they held lighted candles. For their second number they sang .Oh Little Town of Beth | lehem."
 | Christmas Dinner
 A very fine Christmas dinner in- cluding everything from turkey sandwiches to homemade pumpkin pie was then enjoyed by all. Com plete in every detail from little stewed apples to the hints and red cinnamon candies.
 Mrs. Graves, chairman of the en- tertainment, then explained that the theme for the program was built around the theme of the four "C's". The first 70" stood for Christmas Carols, which opened the program and now the second 70" meaning Christmas cheer called for a talk from the genal hostess, Mrs. Dav- Id Waggoner, who welcomed the members and guests of the Club back to her home once again at l Christmas.
 I rep Song
 Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne and her mother, Mrs. Anna Snow, ushered in the meaning of the third 4C" Christi mas Childhood Chatter by singing a little pep song about the club after which Mrs. Snow told the group what Christmas meant to her as a child and how the people in England celebrated this holiday.
 A German Christmas was describ- ed by Mrs Alice Larson. Mrs. Mary Hammer, Norwegian; Mrs. Mary Giovanetti, Italy: Mrs. Felix Gray, Scotland; and Mrs. Stanley Mo- wicka and Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne told of an Alaskan Christmas in the early days of the Territory. | Christmas Incidents | It wasn't long before each one was called on to tell one incident about Christmas, and now as the enter 1 tainment came down to all those present it was fitting to issue in the fourth and final e" of the program. Clear Community Christmas Choral was entered into with spirit and i after singing good many Carols the presents were given out and again there was much fun as each had to see and make over every present.
 In saying goodnight everyone agreed that it was a real good old fashioned Cheer party and the homecoming at the Waggoner home was a huge success. Hostesses for the occasion were Mrs. David Wag- goner, Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne, Mrs. Stanley Nowicka, and Mrs. H. S. Graves.

 For the first time in her life Alma Mitchell, soloist and mistress of ceremonies on the Let's Talk It Over program, feels that she's really famous.

 When Merrill Fugit, who plays one of the juvenile roles in Dan Harding's Wife, joined the cast he noted strange familiarity about the names of teachers at the high school he was supposed to be attending. He questioned Ken Robinson, author of the program, and learned that Robinson, like Fugit, had at- tended Parker High School in Chicago. The Parkside High school in the script was really Parker High school and the names of many teachers were similar to names of teachers under whom Robinson and Fuglt studied.
