Somebody is either out for a little
free publicity or the paper across the
way wanted to boost the philanthropic
qualities of Bill Browning. We haven't
found out which, but the fact remains
that in last weeks issue of "across
the way" it was stated that Council
man w. R. Browning volunteered to
transplant large Christmas tree on
the lawn of the Presbyterian church.
The truth of the matter is that the
town council appropriated the sum of
$4,000 for this work. A lot of people
would volunteer for lot of things for
twenty bucks.
Nevertheless the idea is good one
and one that has been mentioned in
this column aforetime. It's shame
that large pine tree must be cut
down each year for a community tree
when one could be transplanted and
in few years show up very well.

Last weeks ruling about the AAA
by the Supreme Court, coming when
it did, saved local merchant almost
$500. He had just received a carload
of flour. To the cost of the flour was
added this amount for the processing
tax, which, if he had paid it, he would
have had to pass on to the consumer.
He refused to pay it and got the -four
minus the processing tax, hence his
customers are buying cheaper flour.

Another proof that grooms-to-be
are just little excited and up in the
air was evidenced Monday at the local
Court House. After securing the
license he asked the clerk, "Where
does the preacher live?"
what denomination do you want ?"
asked the clerk.
where does he live?" the groom

So I imagine the clerk gave up in
disgust.
Serious thought should be given to
the petition for the re-enactment of
the bounty law applying to Garrett
county. There is assuredly a scarcity
of small game, according to hunters.
If we want game, there should be some
protection accorded it. Perhaps it
would be within the power of the Con-
servation Commission to provide lit
tie. Had known there was scarcity
of game I would never have gone
hunting several weeks ago which re-
suited in my story in this column.
But at that Karl Kahl tells a hunt
ing story almost as amazing. He was
really searching for rhododendron for
Christmas decorations and didn't even
have his gun along. He spied tracks in
the snow which showed rabbits had
been in a struggle with some other
animal. Finally trail led off to log
and under the log he found a rabbit,
dead but still warm, with its throat
cut and blood sucked out.
A few yards further on he saw evil
dences of a similar occurrence with
the same trail leading off, and another
rabbit hidden under a log, dead, still
warm, minus blood. This happened
two more times.
And that is how the hunter of rho

on the pay roll about the time he

Army and did his hitch in Cuba,
China and the Philippines, under the

DIR. C. C. Spaulding
Defines Success

DURHAM, N. c. (C)-Dr. C. C.
Spaulding, head Of the largest Ne
gro business in America, in a spe-
cial statement to his co-workers,
defined Success" as follows: -
When the history of North Carroll
ma Mutual Life Insurance Co. is
written, one of the main reasons
for its success will be found to be
plain, old-fashioned cooperation in
its field, home office, and official
personnel. Thirty-seven years ago,
when the company had only three
directors and one clerk, it decided
to operate the company on basis
of each understanding the others
viewpoint, and, further, 10 under
stand what each was doing. Today
we have staff Of nearly one thou
sand, all thinking and working as
comparatively as you will find in
any organization, regardless of
race.
We started out with the under
standing that cooperation brings
about organization, organization
brings about success, and success
brings about confidence. In this
North Carolina Mutual has set a
standard that might well be emu
lated. Too often corporations have
failed for the lack of an under
standing, based on honest intep-
tions on the part of every person
concerned.
There can be no lasting cooper
alton without mutual confidence,
and there can be no lasting conf
dence unless all are agreed on hon
est, unselfish principles. If we will
continue to cultivate the spirit of
cooperation, there will be no limit
to the amount of business we can
acquire and the genuine service we
can render an under-privileged
group"
