About once a year somebody
starts a rumor that the presidents
health is failing. The latest report
of this sort has stirred up a lot of
gossip in Washington, and started
newspaper men and others to make
the most searching inquiries. The
net result has been TO prove, once
more, that there is nothing to the
report. The presidents health. ac-
cording to everyone who has facili-
ties for finding out the facts, has
never been better since he has been
in the White House.
Except for a slight head cold,
which was cured by his recent So
journ at his mothers home at Hyde
Park, there seem to have been no
foundation for the inc of his ill
ness. A member of the National
Press club who circulated the re-
missed from membership in that
organization.
The presidents recent utterances
and acts certainly suggest that his
'i9Oi 10 II nv way lulpdlItu. Ills
denunciation of the supreme court
for taking a long vacation, from
June to October, when there are i'm
portant cases pending, is taken as an
indication that Mr.. Roosevelt has in
no way abandoned his purpose of
reforming the high court. Indeed,
he repeated only a few days ago his
belief that his proposal to increase
the court by the addition of six
justices will be adopted at this ses-
sion of congress.
Impartial observers do not believe
that is probable, but the presidents
statement amounted to serving no
tlce on congress that he has not
abandoned his purpose and is not
willing to compromise. The best
informed opinion here is that the
court-packing plan will not come to
a vote on the floor of either house
at this session. BY deferring action,
the presidents friends in congress-,
many of whom are bitterly opposed
to his court plan, will enable him
to "save his face instead of expos
ing it to the chance of getting
slapped.

A Country Boys Creed

II believe the country, which God
has made, is more beautiful than the
city, which man made; that life out of
doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. I believe
that work with nature is more lnsplr-
ing than work with the most intricate
machinery. I believe that the dignity
Of labor depends, not on what you DO
but on how you do it; that my sue
cess depends, not on my location, but
on myself; not upon my dreams, but
upon what actually do; not upon my
luck, but upon my pluck. I believe in
working when you work, playing
when you play, and in giving and de-
handing a square deal in every act
of life"

COMMISSIONERS TO
TALK JAIL PLANS
Matter To Be Before Board
Monday at Regular
Monthly Session

Plans for charging the county Jail
here will be discussed by the Vance
Board of County Commissioners Mon
day at their regular monthly meeting
for March. A project for increasing
the capacity of the Jail has been un-
der consideration by the commission
ers for several months, and it had
been hoped to have the matter settled
and probably even have the work done
by this time.
WPA funds have been sought for
the project, and the delay has been
occasioned by waiting for approval of
the ALLEGATION in the Raleigh office.
Final allotment has not yet been made
however, Chairman Samuel M. Wat
kins, of the board, said.
Approval has been obtained for new
landscaping of the court house lawn
and also for minor renovations in the
court house interior. It is hoped
that plans will be in shape for this
work to begin at a very early date.
1. is also hoped that the funds for the
jail program can be obtained at a
very early time, so that the enlarge
ment contemplated can be carried
through
Other than these matters, Mr.. Wat
kins said he knew in advance of no
outstanding work to be done by the
commissioners Monday, aside from
routine business.

MARCH COURT Will
START ON MONDAY
Judge Grady To Preside;
Civil Session To Follow
Criminal Term

The March term of Vance Superior
Court. to last for two weeks, will con-
vene here on Monday morning Inc
first week will be for trial of criminal
matters and the second for civil ac-
tons.
Judge Henry A. Grady, of Clinton
is to preside, and Solicitor w. II. ;.
Burgwyn, of Northampton county, will
prosecute the criminal docket.
A rather light criminal docket, at
least in so far as the number OF cases
is concerned, awaits the attention OF
the court. Likewise, the calendar for
the civil week is not as congested as
it has been. There are 25 divorce cas-
es for trial the first day of the term.
Two homicide cases are on the
criminal docket, both of them of rath-
err long-standing and having been con-
tinued several times at previous terms
This will be Judge Grady's second
court of the year in this county He
held the January session of one week
for criminal cases. He is due also to
return for the June term, which is for
two weeks, for trial of criminal and
civil matters.
Jurors for the two weeks sitting
starting Monday were drawn by the
county commissioners at their Feb
ruary meeting on the first Monday.
The six-months grand jury chosen in
January will function for the crimi-
nal term, and Judge Grady told them
at the January term he would not
again charge them in detail as to their
work, unless some unusual situation
arose that justified elaboration of the
law on his part

During the ION" period Of the fire,
the radiators nearest the boiler get
more than their share Of steam while
others farther away will be denied
their full quota of heat.
The new valves are made with an
adjustable venting port. Thus q
larger venting port for the quick
escape Of air Is provided for the
radiators most remote from the boiler.
while a smaller venting port with
consequent slower heating action is
provided for the radiators nearest to

The result is that the entire system
