Blessings in Dispute.

Said Jacob, in days of the long, long ago,
When Esau in splendor returned,
"The quarrel we had was sufficient to
show
Some things that we ought to have
learned:
"I freely admit that plain honesty's best
In fight for ambitions or loves;
A grave situation, when put to the test,
Should not be approached with kid
gloves.
"Old deals, like the new ones, when
studied, we see,
Should proceed with sportsmanship
grim,
Though blessings requested may happen
to be
From Old Isaac or just Tiny Tim"

TO LET CONTRACTS
ON RADIO STATIONS
Houses and Towers Will Be
Built for Patrol Soon
AS Possible
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
wv q nASK( WHY


Raleigh, Oct 31-Contracts for the
construction of the buildings which
will house the five highway patrol
radio stations over the State will be
let within ten days, the date for the
letting of the contracts already being
set for November 8, Captain Charles
D. Farmer, commander of the patrol,
said today. The specification have al
ready been published and bids called
for. 1t is expected that these build
ings can be erected by the time the
broadcasting towers can be built and
other equipment ready for installa-
lion.
1t is expected that approximately
90 days will be required to get these
houses built, the towers erected and
all of the equipment installed.
There will be one broadcasting tow
er $50 feet tall at each station. Sew
eral miles of copper wire will be
buried in the ground. radiating like
spokes in a wheel 600 feet IN every
direction from the base of each tow
er. This will give the stations greater
sending power.
The Division of Purchase and Con-
tract and the board of award have
already let the contracts for the most
modern type of equipment and Capt.
Farmer is confident that North Caro-
lima will have the most effective state
wide radio system in the United
States. 1t will be the only exclusively
state owned and operated radio COM
munications system in the country.

secret with them, slipped her arm
through his and said, 'Will, I've
invited some more people to our
party"
In a few minutes they moved
off and Alix went upstairs for her
wrap. She didn't see the express
| sion on Bills face as his eyes fol-
lowed the dancing figure of the
girl in gray. She didn't notice his
| silence on the long drive home.
Men weren't like girls.
A few days later Dorcas dropped
in at the shop to chat with Alix.
She had never done that before
and Alix was glad she came at
last. She wanted to see if there
was something about Dorcas that
would confirm what she suspi-
cioned in regard to Dorcas and Bill.
Dorcas said she had come to
warn Alix to be sure to wear spe-
cially warm clothes to the coast
ing party. Will Hartley was pick
ing her up at the shop, she said.
When Will came, Alix gave them
both tea while Mae Alexander at
tended to the business in the shop.
When they had gone Alix said,
Mae, come over here and answer
a few questions" And when Mae
had composed herself to inquiry:
TITS all been about Dorcas,
hasn't it? Oh, don't pretend, Mae.
I was so blind didn't understand.
II didn't understand even when
everybody was trying to make me
see. Dorcas was Bills girl, wasn't
she 2"
"Oh, I don't know" Mae said
guardedly. bill and Dorcas did
go around lot together before
$. that is, once upon a time"
Until I came ?" Alix pressed
on.
"Well, yes, but ="
But what? You all wanted
that to be romance, didn't you ?"
what difference does it. make,
Alix? IF you and Bill care for
each other ?"
eve don't. AT least not that
way. I'm crazy about Bill. He's
like big brother and he he
flatters me and I needed that but
he isn't in love with me.'
"That's something I wouldn't
know about" the older girl said.
II guess nobody would, but just
because they went around together
doesn't mean they were in love
either. Dorcas has been going
with Will Hartley ever since he
came home early In December.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-10-31

He's at her place all the time.
They drive around town together
and they're at the movies every
Wednesday night. So I guess you
don't need to worry about that.
If Bill Boyd was in love with her,
I guess he'd have said so long
time ago. So don't you worry
about it"
Alix thought about that for
long time. Then she said, "You
know, Dorcas has always been
strange toward me. She's been
nice but I've always felt that she
T. . well, she resented me and
haven't done anything to make her
feel that way that know Of. Now,
I think 1 understand. I think she
cares for Bill"
"Alix, if she cared for Bill, she
wouldn't be having dates every
night with Will Hartley. I think
I know that girl. She wouldn't
stoOp to any tricks. She's too
honest. You just go on the way
you are and don't worry about it.
Bill Boyd is the best catch in this
town. You might think that over.
He may not look very romantic
to you but. if he doesn't, you are
the only woman in Bairdsvale in
your class"
Alix felt better after her talk
with Mae. After that night at the
Country club, she had been shaken.
She remembered too wildly the
pain in Kathleen Crosbys eyes and
the sacrifice she had had to make
to right the wrong she had done
her best friend. That must never
happen again.
All that week she was in an I'M
balanced state of mind. Kathleen
was constantly in her mind and
her need of Kathleen. Loneliness
had grip on her and her yester-
days were fresh in her mind.
She sat beside Bill Boyd driving
out to Will Hartley's lodge. There
was a tremendous stiffness in the
white night made blue by the hard
early March moon. It was such a
night and such a moon over the
East river in New York when she
had sat beside John Sayre and
John Sayre's arms had EMBODIED
her.
She needed arms now and Bill
Boyd was beside her. She turned
to him with her eyes filled with
tears that didn't fall.
"Oh, Bill" she said and dropped
her head On his shoulder as his
arms went around her.

Granada Mermaid, grand champion

posal to increase the membership of

A good many now believe, however,
that the homestead exemption amend
ment is endangering the, adoption Of
all or most Of the others, due to the
1act that there is more open opposi-
tlon 10 this amendment than to any
or the other four. Most of this opposi-
ton IS on the grounds that instead of
decreasing taxes, it will tend to in
crease them, as increased tax rates
will become necessary to offset the
decrease in valuations. There are still
good many, however, who believe
this amendment will get more votes
thany any of the others and that it
will help carry al the others.

hate Roosevelt fight, but it didn't

Hoover" performance four years ago.
Nothing much could have been bit
ter than the first McKinley-Bryan
contest, in 1896.
And surely the Hayes-Til0en cam
paign, in 1876, winding up with the
Democrats claiming that the Repub-
licans stole the victory, was a record
breaker for bittnerness.
WHISPERS" OF THE PAST
However, Farley may say that 1876
is farther back than ANY of us can
remember
We have heard of the '76 and II
complication, nevertheless.
But, waving bitterness, how about
dirt?
Dirt, I take it, involves political or
personal scandals-not necessarily es-
tablished charges, but ugly stories;
sometimes in print, sometimes merely
whispered.
Grant was smeared with a Star
Route scandal. That was politico-fin-
ancial
Blaine opposing Cleveland in 1884,
was similarly smeared-with the Null
ligan letters. Clevelands private life
was attacked, in 1884 and 1888 and
1892. In his case it was done in print
Taft had his Ballinger scandal.
There were whispering campaigns
against Wilson CHS private life) and
Harding (his racial purity.
NO SCANDALS
The 1886 campaign does not appear
to me to have furnished much bitter
ness OF many scandals, to compare
with the past.
1t is a campaign which has hinged
on honest differences of opinion.
The rival major candidates met on
friendly terms in Des Moines in the
midst of the contest-a quite, chivalric
get-together.
The meanest things that were said
against the Roosevelt administration
were not said by the administrations
out-and-out opponents, but by it's Sc
ceding former friends.

"decoy" to win votes for the other

amendment would arouse the interest
of home owners everywhere on the
theory that every home owner would
vote in favor of an amendment that
would reduce his valuation OF $1,000

reduce his taxes also. Thus a good

there wasn't anything special to

He's got some fine ideas for the

back to the dance floor.
They stood at the door for a

Alix. Dorcas was trying to look
like a girl who was looking for a
