Florida about $zO,OO0,000.
The total cash income for North
Carolina farmers during the January
May period of 1938-sale Of farm
crops plus AAA payments-was $685.
$4,000 as compared with $40,615,OO0
the year before. This was accounted
for by the decrease in amount of
AAA payments.
During the first five months pc
riod of this year, the Triple-A pay
ments amounted to $6,857 900, but in
the same time for 1887 some $10,889,-
900 were distributed to Tar Heel far
mers, who cooperated in the farm
program.
Low cotton prices cut down on
southern farm income, but North Car
olina farmers were not as dependent
upon this one crop as were farmers
in some of the other Southern States.

Fire Destroys A
Fire Department
Finlayson Building and
Fire Equipment Burns
Early Tuesday Evening.

Like a burglar in the night taking
as his victim a policeman, fire at
tackled and destroyed the Finlayson
fire house and most of the equipment
at 6:45 Tuesday evening The blaze
was first seen by Henry Christopher
son, but had advanced too far to be
stopped. The fire truck could not
be saved, although two ladders and
hose cart were taken out at the rear.
The building, located one block
south of the post office, was erected
in 1906 and was partly insured. The
fire truck was equipped with two
35-gallon chemical tanks. Janitor
Kraetzner had stocked a fresh supply
of coal into the stove at about p. m.
and it is probable that overheating
of the stove caused the fire. There
was no wind, so fortunately no other
damage was done.
According to A. R. Belling, village
clerk, it is possible that the council
will have special meeting soon to
consider new building and equipment.

tabulated, and are used in compiling
data to guide the department in prop
agation activities, as well as in game
surveys.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Seemingly not needing the rising
tide of world indignation, the Ger
man government continues its sys-
tematic persecution of the Jews with
in its borders, depriving them step
by step of all their remaining civic
and other rights Spokesman of the
government have made it brutally
clear that the Jews must get out, but
at the same time authorities place
all kinds of distractions in their path
of exit. If some of them do want to
get out-and most of them no doubt
do, noW-they cannot, for their money,
or most of it, is confiscated, and their
property has been declared state pos
session. Should the Jews succeed in
getting across the frontiers, they still
don't know where to go, for not all
countries look with favor at the pros
pect of a Jewish influx.
Distribution.
Under these circumstances, J. P.
Kennedy, United States ambassador
to Great Britain, has proposed plan
according to which German Jews be
distributed among British colonies
and dominionS overseas as well as
among South American republics, the
financing of the undertaking to be
borne by private subscription in the
United States. The plan has found
favor with the British government,
and it is possible that a conference
soon will be called to discuss details.
Also, it has been suggested that
Jewish colonies be established in the
overseas colonies which Germany lost
as a result of the world war, but
apparently it was thought wise not to
adapt this mode of action, for, after
all-it may be that some day these
colonies will revert to Germany, and
then the trouble will start all over.
And apropos of the German colo
MES: Probably in an effort to ex-
press resentment at the persecution
of the Jews, the British and French
governments have made it clear that
for the time being there can be no
discussion of the German claims for
repossession of the colonies. That's
one penalty!
Another is the fact that the United
States has recalled its ambassador and
its commercial attache from Berlin.
OF course, it is not officially admitted
that this move is slap in Herr Hit
ler's face, but it is so understood, and
Germany itself understood it at once
and-recalled its ambassador from
Washington. But this is not yet a
breach of diplomatic relations; just
a little rebuff from the United States
to Germany, and German protest
against it.
A third penalty, probably in the

South st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. o.
1888: Colder weather inspired greater
confidence in the trade on slaughter
cattle and prices for the two days
ranged mostly Csc higher, according
to the Federal-State Market News
Service. With the season practically
at an end the demand was broad for
feeding steers scaling up to 1000
pounds and the replacement trade
ranged strong to Csc higher. Good fed
steers reached 5000, with others OF
the same grade at 1925 to $1O25 and
medium grassers, along with short
feds at $500 to $3.50. Slaughter she
stock drew active support at the
quoted advance and good fed heifers
touched $500, while choice fat range
cows sold at $500. Most plain and
medium beef cows brought $500 to
$500 and low cutters and cutters
turned at $3.75 to $4.75. Vealers were
steady to strong and bulls sold steady
Dairy cows ranged strong to slightly
higher. Good weighty close spring
ers went to shippers at $500 to
$4,000, with demand broad and many
far distant points represented in cur
rent buying orders. Plain and medi-
UNI cows gained strength by virtue
of the advancing killer market and
sold at $4,000 to $1,000 except for
extremely light, thin aged sorts.
Hogs lost a little price position
with fairly liberal receipts and a
lower fresh pork trade the influen-
tial factors. Labor difficulties at Chi
cago, however, hampered trading
there and naturally caused some un-
easiness locally. A steady to Sc
higher market on Tuesday left cur
rent values only shade lower than
the close of last week, but as much
as 15c under Friday. Sows, on the
other hand, are steady to Sc highe,
