Many years before the word chemurgc was
coined Dr. Carver, the son of slave parents who
does not know his age was doing in his laboratory
at Tuskegee what Mr.. Ford and other chemurgists
are now so vigorously advocating.
Dr. Carver has made several hundred products
from peanuts and sweet potatoes. Among them are
coffee substitute milk, cream, cheese, soap, vine
gar, pickles. flour, several kinds of oils and many
other materials From the clays of the state he has
made paints and stains. From the hull of the pea
nut he made kraft paper and from peanut vines a
white paper.
DR.. Carver is a nationally known chemist and
has lectured in many states His work has been
done quietly and without thought of personal gain
He is q student and his labor has been his great
enjoyment in life. Some day monument will be
erected to his memory as leader in the plan to
increase the demand for products of the farm and

KEEP DOWN THE MENACE

''They live in fools paradise" says NJ. II. Car
mody, national head of the Knights of Columbus
speaking on the subject of the Communist menace,
"who comfort themselves with the thought that the
forces now ascendant in Europe can never menace
America" +'" /. .E}E "
We hardly believe they will ever be ascendant
here but that will be because of our eternal vigi-
lance to see that this menace-for these forces al
ready are menace--are not allowed to become
anything more than menace
We do, indeed, fool ourselves if we think there
is no menace
Certainly these forces of Communism and Fas-
cism are doing their level best to make themselves
menace and if they do not succeed it will be be-
cause we well realize the danger and keep vigilant
watch against it.-Rock Hill Is. CO. Herald.

A REAL BUST"

There have been some remarkable stories OF
busted" individuals and corporations ftering out
Of the depression debris some of these showing a
total indebtedness of fabulous proportions, al
most.
But no story surpasses that of Hugh NJ. Ander-
son, who filed a petition in bankruptcy in Miami
one day last week His petition listed debts of
eight and one-half million dollars and assets of
four hundred dollars.
That (my MASTERY is an achievement in debt
building which will be hard to top anywhere and
at any time.
Mr. Anderson headed the most ambitious and
exclusive real estate development in the time OF
the Florida BOOM He organized the "Shoreland
Company" which bought strip of about three
thousand acres of land just north of Miami and
what was done there takes ones breath even in
retrospect On the first day the property was
opened for the sale of lots, over two million dol
lars worth were sold and one year the later the
company reported a total sale of seventy-fve mil
lion dollars worth of lots 1t was spoken Of as the
"two hundred million dollar development"
The high water mark of sales one day in
September 1923 when twenty-five million dollars
worth of lots were sold. Calmly considering it
"worth" is the wrong word. The lots were no.
"worth" one hundredth part of that sum. There
was surplus of bids on that day amounting to
eleven million dollars. 1t said that three
fourths of the purchasers had not seen the prop
erty they were buying. They sent in bids and au
thorized the officers of the company to select lot!
for them.
If there ever was anything to eclipse that time
in Florida anything in this country, it is not known
here-Greenwood IS. c. Index-Journal.

FEDERAL SCHOOL CONTROL NEW PROBLEM

Comes on in congress once more bill that would
do more to raise race issue in the South than
anything since the era of Reconstruction 1t is
masked as a proposal for the extension of fedora.
aid to state schools. That way madness lies.
Federal aid to state school means, first Of all,
racial co-educaton. There is no possible blinking
the fact. Once southern schools are put under care
and provision by the federal government, the war
amendments to the Constitution will necessarily
come into full effect. What federal bayonets could
not do, federal grants may accomplish.
Suppose that North Carolina, for instance, should
be faced with such a decision concerning the
schools as it recently faced in connection with the
Social Security program Would it decide to resist
in the interest of its policy, OF would it take
the easier way of accepting subsidy for itself
that otherwise would go to others?
1t is just possible that such measure will be
enacted but it is to be hoped that the South which
has made far strides in general education for both
colors despite assertions to the contrary will OPP
pose the scheme to the bitter end. For even II 1t
be assumed that schools are national enterprise,

sion of a race-conscious political management

strikes insofar as that is concerned). The an
nouncement comes that new car buyers will foot
part of the strike bill through increased prices on
the new models A. H. Ward of Wards automotive
reports, states that Automobile prices will be raised
an average of twenty-five dollars"
This increase in price will cover the loss of the
manufacturers during the strike the increased pay
given the workers in the automobile plants, and
the rise in basic commodities used in the manufac-
turing of automobiles.
AS was expected, the inevitable will happen. The
public will pay-Newberry Is. c. Observer.

Spragae was the Harvard teach
er who quit a job as adviser to

early in the New Deal.
Roosevelt then became charmed
by the recovery theories of Pro-
lessor Warren, James H. Rand and
the monetary infationistS. BY the
end OF 1888 Sprague had quit with
a roar of protest. Ray Moley, Hugh
Johnson and other New Dealers
Of that day scoffed at him.
The fruition Of Sprague'S proph-
ecies of doom has been some
wha: delayed. The breakdown OF
government credit and unre-
strained imitation which he feared
have not arrived. But Roosevelt,
who was so strongly bent on rails
ing prices three years ago, is now
worried by fear that high prices
may bring another crash.
He now has come to believe in
maximum. production at low
prices. And it is interesting to
recall some Of the things which
Sprague, who once taught eco
Monies to Roosevelt at Harvard
was saying and writing in De-
cenber, 1888. ..
EALLACIoUS, insisted Sprague
was the view OF "young lib
erals" in Washington, who be-
lieved recovery could come
through quasi-monopolies and
increasing prices. This view
might cause the country to crash
on the rocks of shrunken mar
kets due to higher prices. Sprague
favored low prices to stimulate
markets, production and employ
ment, urging business men to
adopt this policy even though il
meant sacrifices and temporary
lack Of profits.

make d relative reduction In
prices Of those goods and services
for which larger potential demand
can be anticipated if relative
prices are reduced"
And, in view of RooSevelt's
promise to cut down government
expenditures flowing into durable
goods as a means Of discouragins
price imitation, it seems interest
ing to remember that Sprague
said:
"If the primary direction of la,
Dor and capital is to be found ir
the production of durable goods
such as housing, then a govern
ment policy of public works that
increases the cost of that sort OF
goods works against recovery Re-
covery should be based on low
production and transportation
costs"
1.-The fundamental question that
presents itself in. examining trade
recovery policies, whether they be
those of business men or the gov
ernment," Spraguc wrote, "iS this:
Do they tend to open up and in
crease demand for those products
for which. we may reasonably pre-
sumo, q large potential demand
exists that can be made actual by
relatively lower priceS-lower
prices, / may add, made possible
by improved methods and larger
volume, and not by unreasonably
