Senator Arthur Corey from Pitt
reports the greatest need in his sec
ton right now to be more tobacco
barns. A record-breaking crop,
ripening all at the same time, is
taxing the barn capacity. The crop
will be barned or ruined in the field
by August 1, according to the sena-
tor.
AS for politics, neither of these
gentlemen would admit that there
is any such thing. They agree that
the State probably will elect a gov
ernor next year, but there is almost
no indication of who is most popular
at this time.
Farm and home Improvements
will be featured along with better
cultural methods at the annual field
day at Oxford test farm next Thurs
day, according to program made
public today. Former Congressman
Umstead will deliver the principal
address, and there will be the usual
technical discussions of farm prob
lems.. "Electricity on the Farm" will
be the subject of talk by James
McAlister, of Roper, district winner
of the Young Tar Heel Farmers
speaking contest.

Imposing figures of numbers of ar
rests, investigations, costs and fines
collected, etc., accompany the re-
port for the year ending June 80,
which also ended the first decade of
the patrol. What puzzles the aver
age motorist is how the patrolman
could travel that many miles and be
so conspicuous by their absence
when needed-and so obviously
present when little speeding up is
attempted.
The fact that the ''Lost Colony"
pageant will be presented at Fort
Raleigh on Roanoke Island for the
one-hundredth time Saturday night
is declared by newspaper men to
be miracle. The miracle" con-
sists in the magnitude of the spec
tacle presented in about as isolated
spot as can be found in America,
still running longer than most big
hit Broadway shows. Admitting that
there isn't any reason in sound logic
for the play to survive at all, the
publicists point out that attendance
constantly increases.

A Severe electric storm that came
up at the time furnished the Kiwanis
club with segment of its program
Friday evening that had not been
counted on, and one that was. not
enjoyed by the members. The storm
broke as the men were starting the
meeting. Somebody looked out the
window and saw "great balls of fire"
rolling along the power lines on
poles on the sidewalk few feet from
the window.

w. Kerr Scott, commissioner of
agriculture, has number of sheep
on his farm in Alamance county.
Last week he contributed most of a
large wether to a Kiwanis dinner
at Haw River. Nearly quarter left
over, he brought to Raleigh, had a
local cafe to cook it, and invited
several friends in to enjoy it. Vet
eran neWsman Tom Bost admitted
it was his first sheep since he was
kid. Highway Attorney Charles
Ross thought it was very much like
goat Health Officer Carl Reynolds
just forgot about chewing gum and
cafe ratings and topped off the sheep
with big hunk of watermelon. The
fact that thirteen were seated at
the table didn't seem to affect the
appetite of any of them.

could not get together on temporary
curtailment of traffic. The conflict
of interest persists and no per-
manent solution of the problem has
been reached. But the road is open
and cars can get to the top of Mount

Big Football Classic Tomorrow

Tomorrow afternoon is the big annual football
classic here between Caldwell and M. & M. Since
the annual custom was adopted some years ago,
it grows more popular, and every year sees an
increased interest The games are played on or
near Armistice day. While Armistce day falls
this year Saturday, because of the merchants
who cannot very well close on Saturday. the date
was changed to Friday afternoon This year with
the game played in stadium, it is certain
to eclipse all other years in interest and attend
ance. No other school in the Muskingum League
has an athletic field that compares with the one
here, which has been constructed without any ad-
ditional tax levy. For three years Caldwell and M
& M tied the loving cup was kept half year
by each school. Last year the neighbor team
broke that tie to the tune of 260, and has had the
coveted prize full year, and this year our boys
out for revenge-clean sportsnanshiplike re-
venge.
But the simply winning of the trophy is but a
small part of this event. 1t is the friendly rela
tions of the two villages from counties much the
same size, with problems similar, that counts
most.
Caldwell not only the school, but citizens in
general will be here in full force, so let us give
them the same sort of rousing, friendly welcome
that we received at Caldwell year ago. and
don't forget too that the best team will win

grange in the past year, was held

high school auditorium. There were
about $50 grange members present,

familiar with what is going in the world to-
day. There are those who have gone so tar as
to claim that the World war was fought IN vain.
We do not agree with them 1t was America
and American soldiers that won the war; Had
America not taken hand Germany would have
been victorious, and then what would have been
the result? Would things have been any better
no a thousand times worse-Germany would
have demanded territory on this continent and
would have taken plenty. Instead OF the present
unfortihed, peaceful Canadian border it would
have been necessary to fortify it, and the same
thing might have been true regarding the south
ern border We would have had similar trouble
that the countries surrounding Germany have
had throughout the past and are now fighting
over We believe our World soldiers gave
their lives for typical American principle.
Armistice day brings back memories to us
tragic memories of the mothers and families, OF
those who lost their lives. 1t recalls the end OF
another of Americas war for humanity. 1t is
today attended with bitterness at the thought of
those European countries who are again at
war. But America is still at peace, for which we
are devoutly thankful. Our country has resist
ed the trend toward dictatorship-and4 toward
revenge for the injuries suffered in 1917-1918.
We have bent our energies to constructive pur-
poses, to the task of feeding the hungry and pro-
viding them shelter, and for things that make
life worth while.
Notwithstanding the war abroad we believe
that future for peace is promising For weeks
great question has been before congress regard
ing neutrality law, in which political party
lines were very largely wiped out. The one
thought in the mind of each member of congress
seemed to have been which method would main
tain peace and keep us out of war. Those in con-
gress who saw differently conscientious in
their beliefs. Since maintaining peace was the
outstanding note in every speech, we believe that
because of the lengthy debates that were carried
on in congress-with party lines done away with
the cause of peace-of keeping out of has
been greatly strengthened.
All honor and glory to those who at time
of crisis traversed seas'of ocean and mud, to pro
tect security and our freedom.
