PATRONIzE TAXPAYERS

As regularly as the return Of tue robins every Spring, each Summer brings an influx Of peddlers and salesmen of all kinds, to sell their products and return to the States with money which should be spent right here in Wrangeu at stores paying taxes to the City. or with people giving of their time toward improving Wrangeu. These tran sient peddlers never return to help pay the expenses Of our schools, streets or any civic projects. They take our money and naturally spend as little as possible of theirs for what interest do they have in our town except for it's lucrative value to them7
 Nine times out of ten the products they sell could be duplicated right here in our own stores-the only thing lacking would probably be the gift of gab" that accompanies the sale, but in most cases that would be rather a relief. We'll hear stories on how much cheaper 1t is to buy from a salesman-weI hear a quotation on prices that would most likely baffle the New York Stock Exchange-we'l listen to dis sertations on the superior quality of goods carried by salesmen-but after we've spent beyond our means buying products that are absolute ly indispensable to our welfare and convenience-weu find We haven't any comeback II we're not satisfied Whereas, If We patronize home in dustry and local stores we know we can go back to the place from which we've purchased an article and raise any objections we might feel necessary ii that article isn't as good as the sales talk accompanying it. Besides this personal advantage We must remember that every dol lar spent here in Wrangel will help to do Wrangell some good ra- ther than a city or town thousands of miles away.
 Most any day now, some dashing college boy will come knocking on your door and before you can take a deep breath and tell him you're not interested, he'll swamp you with stories of making his way thru college" and ''this isn't going to cost you one cent-all you have to do is sign here and vote for me and then pay the postage on the magazines sent to you. It's a beau tifuI story-but remember, we have our own local students to help thru college.
 Probably while the housewife is busy listening to a college boy s aspirations, her husband will be ac- costed by some 'delectable blonde who is armed with magazines and honeyed Words-and what gentle man could refuse to buy even one magazine! In all probability husband and wife will both subscribe to magazines they don't care thing about-or magazines they could sub scribe to locally much cheaper and the wife will wonder why ler husband can't refuse a blonde and the husband will wonder why his wife hasn't sense enough not to swallow a college boys line.
 Let's all say MOI" with a great deal of emphasis to the fly-by-night peddlers this summer and give our own local stores and taxpayers the benefit of every dollar that would otherwise lose Wrangell for it's hap py home.

2 KILLED IN PRISON BREAK

"A guard and two convicts were
slain, the warden was critically in
jured and at least seven other per-
sons were wounded Sunday in sa-
wage fighting with knives and clubs
that followed an abortive attempt
by seven convicts to escape Folsom
penitentiary.
Fifteen minutes of bitter fighting
in the prisons big yard left six sur
viving convicts unconscious and
bloody on the ground along with
the bodies of Guard H. E. Martin
and Convict Clyde Stevens, planner
of previous escape attempt. Con-
vict Benny Kucharski was fatally
injured.
Warden Clarence Larkin, in
whose office the plot was sprung
received dangerous stab wounds IN
the abdomen. Prison doctors ex-
pressed fear he would die.

Potato Growers
Vote On Crop
Coal This Week
Outcome of Election in Ashe to
Be Announced Next Week
Last Meet Today.

Shall we have a potato acreage
for 1888 or shall we not have one?"
is the question that the commercial
potato growers of Ashe county are
endeavoring to decide this week.
Several meetings were held Mon
day and Wednesday and this after
noon the last scheduled meeting is
slated to convene at the Sutherland
school.
Before voting on the proposed re-
feredum, the advantages and dis
advantages of a potato goal were
explained by c. J. Rich, county
farm agent who had charge of the
various meetings. To carry the ele-
ction, it is necessary for two-thirds
the commercial growers to vote fav-
orably. The outcome of the cleo
ton will not be announced before
next week.
Ashe is one of the leading pota-
to producing counties in the state
According to the 1885 Agricultural
census, there were 1888 farms in
the county on which potatoes were
raised. Of this number however
there were only 1874 farms report
ing over 200 bushels. Therefore il
is believed that there are only
around 200 commercial potato pro.
ducers in the county.
In North r Carolina a total of e
counties are voting on potato acre
age goal. BY having such a goal
it is explained, the growers car
control production better and pre-
vent abnormally low prices caused
by SURPRISES.
The annual demand in the United
States calls for around 370,00O,OOC
bushels for potatoes. Of course
acreage control will not prevent
fluctuations in yield, but will contri-
butte substantially toward it.

tablished Farm Security Admins
tration, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, w. Bryan Oliver,
County Supervisor in charge of ru-
raj rehabilitation work in Ashe,
Allegheny and Wilkes counties an
nounced early this week from his
office here in West Jefferson, fol-
lowing assurances received from
George S. Mitchell, Regional Di-
rector of the Farm Security Ad-
ministation in Raleigh.
Mr.. Oliver stated that the Bank
head-Jones Farm Tenant Act,
which the Farm Security Admins
tration will administer, provides
for continuation of the rural reha-
Utilization and farm debt adjust
ment work which he epresents in
this section and that he has been
instructed to carry on substantially
as before, under the new agency.

led by farm and home management
advice from County Supervisors are
made by the government to finan-
cially distressed farm families who
hold out hope of making come
back whether on their own land or
on rented land but who are unable
to secure proper credit from other
sources to make a crop or to pur-
chase needed livestock and equip
ment.
In addition to the rural rehabi-
litation program which will be con-
tinued as an Importance phase OF
the new agency, the Farm Security
Administration will conduct the
tenant loan program, as provided in
the Farm Tenant Act, for the pur-
chase and improvement of farms
for selected tenant farmers, and
will complete unfinished farmstead
projects, including those started by
the Resettlement Administration
and those turned over to that or
ganization from other agencies.
Details concerning the handling
of applications for the new tenant
loans will be announced later by
the Regional Office, Mr.. Oliver
has been advised
Land use planning and submar-
ginal land purchase activities, fur
Their povided for in the Bankhead-
Jones Act, have been entrusted by
the Secretary Of Agriculture to the
Bureau of Agriculture Economics.
This means that former Land Uti-
lization work and that to be carri-
ed out under the new Act will be
continued through a Land Utiliza-
ton Division under the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, while the
Farm Security Administration will
conduct the tenant purchase and
rural rehabilitation programs and

function of the former Resettle-
ment Administration and those adj

been divided between tn Farm Sc

ing to the statement received by

Lansing Clashes
With CrOssnOre
School Friday
Opening Game of Season For
Ashe County's GridirOn
Eleven. Play at CrOssnore

The Lansing high school football
team will open it's 1887 season TOM
orrow afternoon when Ashe county's
only gridiron eleven clashes with the
strong Crossnore aggregation at
Crossnore.
According to the advance schedule,
the opening game was supposed to
have been played last Friday at
Marion, Va, but coaches from both
schools agreed to postpone the bat
tie as neither team was in shape to
play.
For several years the Lansing
Crossnore game has been real con-
test and last year it ended in q
scoreless tie. In discussing the pro-
bable outcome while in town Tues
day night, Coach Robert Morphis
declared that their prospects fol-
winning tomorrow's encounter ap-
peared to be rather slim, but that
said his boys would be in there
fighting every minute of the battle
Among other things, the team will
be handicapped tomorrow because
Capt King and Ward Blevins have
been suffering from slight injuries
and may not see much action in the
Crossnore game. In the next place.
Coach Morphis stated, the team
this season is the ightest that Lam
sing has had in long time. From

From now on some of the New Deal

From now on some Of the New Deal
spokesmen will endeavor to make it
appear that the persons who defeated
the court packing" plan in the Sem
ate were reactionaries or conservatives
This is a gross error. Men like Sena-
tors Wheeler, McCarran, OMahoney,
King, Burke, Borah and Walsh Of
Massachusetts,, for instance, do not
become conservatives just because they
want to see the spirit OF the Constitu-
ton preserved. 1t is wrong to class
the group who defeated the court plan
as "conservative Democrats" They
might be called insurgent Democrats.
but this implies that the Democratic
party belongs to the New Deal, which
may be open to question in the next
primaries. The most appropriate des-
ignation is independent Democrats"
for this accurately describes the group
of honorable and fearless statesmen
who saved the Constitution from the
destructionists who call themselves
