War Brings No Blessing
To The Cotton Growers

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 10
War is no blessing to the cotton far
mer, reports E. Y. Floyd, AAA exc
cutive officer Of State College, after
reviewing statistics on production,
CONSUMPTION. and prices during the
World War. "The results of the crop
years Of 1914 to 1916 offer an ex-
ample of wars threat to cotton grow
ers," he declared.
cat the outset of the World War,
prices were depressed and cotton
producers suffered disadvantage,
as their crop sold below the general
commodity price level 1t was two
years after the World War started,
and when production had been re-
duced, before cotton prices reached
the levels prevailing before the war.
When cotton prices did go up, the
prices of other things were also high
Then the bubble burst. The South is
still feeling the effects of the price
collapse that came after the World
War"

Street Dept.
Is Moving To
New Quarters

Equipment and trucks of the city
street department are being moved
piecemeal to the quarters the city
has leased from the county, these
being the old site and buildings Of
the State Highway and Public Works
Commission convict camp, on the
eastern outskirts Of the city
The city has entered into an agree
ment with the county for the use Of
this property on an annual pasis, re-
neWal each year at the option Of
both sides Should the county at any
time find it needed the property, it
would have the right to re-possess
it at the end of any yearly period.
The city then would be forced to
find other quarters, and might erect
some temporary buildings.
The county owned the convict
camp site before the State took over
the roads several years ago, and the
State has used it since then until
completion Of the new prison camp
at Gillsburg, four miles east Of the
citv. two months ago.
When all of the street department
equipment has been removed from
the municipal building, where it has
been for ten years, the vacant quar-
tiers will be remOdeled for use bv
the police and the municipal court,
and city lookup quarters will also be
transferred there to make more room
for firemen in quarters now shared
jointly by the two departments.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1939-11-10

Floyd also pointed out that the
situation today differs in many ways
from the 1914 situation. There has
been no marked change in cotton
prices SO far, but near-record world
supply Of SO million bales compares
with a total supply of 81 million
bales in the 1914-15 season.
''The United States crop in 1914
was about Is million bales" the
AAA officer said, against an esti-
mated 11,928,0O0 bales this year, but
the carry-over then was only $780,
600 bales as compared with the car
ry-over of IA million bales estimat-
ed on August I, 1889"
Farmers will vote on Saturday, De-
cember 8, on whether quotas shall
be in effect in 1910, as they were
in 1888 and 1889 Marketing quotas
are authorized when the total sup
ply is more than 7 percent above
normal. The normal supply for 1889
40 is about 1872 million bales. The
actual supply is 1858 million bales,
or "A percent above normal.

Vance Folk
Pay $4,000
Apparel Tax

Indirect taxes buried in the cost
of clothing sold in Vance county S
apparel stores last year produced an
estimated $50 800 for local, State and
national governments, the National
Consumers Tax Commission report
ed today.
This tremendous burden Of hid
den taxes was paid by unsuspectlng
shoppers as unseen parts OF their APP
parel purchases" Mrs. Melville
Mucklestone. president of the NCTC,
stated in the report. These are taxes
against producers, manufacturers,
shippers and distributors which, OF
necessity, must be passed along to
the consumer. Studies at our Chicago
Headquarters show hidden taxes take
nearly 10 per cent of clothing costs. :
Mrs. MuckIestOne, leader in the
commissions nationwide campaign TO
AROUSE tax consciousness and to OPP
pose consumer enallzlng taxes,
pointed out the taxes refer to cloth
ing sales in apparel stores only and
do not include clothing sales III de
partment and general stores.
The study was made public thro-
ugh Mrs. William 7. HANNAH OF
WaynesviIle, State director, who,
with Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson, OF Aber-
deem. national committee member,
heads the NCTC educational pro-
gram in North Carolina. Groups in
approximately 500 cities and towns
throughout the country are active IN
the tax education program.
The clothing tax figure was COM
puted from NCTC averages based on
last available U. S. Bureau OF the
Census figures which placed 1885 APP
parel store sales in the county at
$4,000. Government estimates OF
total sales in the country last year
approximate the total in the 1885
study, the NCTC pointed out.

KL0NDIKEO ON CHARLOTTE x
 COMING HOME
Peter Henning Took First Horses Info Early
 Day Dawson

One of the nearly forgotten pion- eers of the Klondike passed through Juneau on the Princess Charlotte making a round trip to Dawson to see the scenes of his gold rush days.
 He is Peter Henning, retired, of East Stanwcod, Washington. With him, helping him celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary, is his wife, two daughters, Marguerete and Geneva.
 It was early in 1868, when the slush ice was still running in the Yu- kon River that Peter Henning took six horses over Chilkoot Pass to Lake Bennett, built a barge and took the horses of history into Dawson.
 First Wagon, Dawson
 It was Jennings wagon that was the first in Dawson, and it was Hen ning's horses that pulled the first fire wagon of the early day boom camp.
 Unlike the thousands lusting for yellow riches from the earth, Hen ming freighted the gold seekers and their supplies-took them in hopeful and took them out dejected or veal thy-but catching them both ways.
 Builds Lumber Mill
 And while in Dawson, Henning built small lumber mill that also paid high grade dividends, and after he left the Klondike, he contracted a read from Haines Mission to Kluk- wan, then left the North for the South. where in later years he mar ried and reared his family on his Stanwood farm.
 Retired, now, Henning is satisfy ing the call that comes to all who have tasted sweetness in the land of Klond:kers and Alaskans.
 Going to Dawson, the Jennings will return to Skagway near the end of the month and sail south on the steamer Alaska.

17-F00T BOAT
 IS HALIBUTER EXTRAORDINARY
ThorwaId Hansen Fishes with Own DrumGur-
 dy Invention

A frequent arrival at the Juneau Cold Storage dock is Thorwald Han sens miniature halibut boat, the 31D125Athe gol-darndest fishing boat north of Bali and the small est and most ingenious contraption we have ever seen.
 First, the boat is flat bottomed and square sterned. Next, it is exactly IT feet long It is powered with a -four horse power outboard engine in a well aft.
 Moreover, Hansen eats, sleeps, and fishes aboard this boat.
 His Own Invention
 But that isn't the most remark able feature of this very much home industry affair. Mounted on a board that slides in gunwale slots, forward or aft. is a big reel with siding composed of many curved spoke-like pieces of iron.
 Hansen, who invented the thing, calls it a -gurdy." Most hal ibuters .-coil their hooks and line flat. Hansen's gear is reeled on his drum -gardy, with the hooks sep arated between the spokes that form the side of the reel. When he setS a skate of gear, he just starts 1t over the stern and the line and hooks pay out unattended
 Working around Taku Entrance, Hansen lives aboard his beat, sleep ing and cooking under a tarp over the forward part Of his boat. He is out about two or three days at a time, and brings in about $500 worth of halibut in the two months he fishes.
 Drum Gurdy"
 His home designed drum -gurdy'' is capable of bringing in (hand poweredl, halibut weighing over 200 pounds
 Last week Hansen brought in one halibut that tipped the scales at 2G7 po4nds He has brought in as much as 900 pounds of fish in a trip.
 He says his gurdy will hold two full skaIes of gear, 200 hooks, but ordinarily he fishes an oversize skate of around 110 or l20 hooks and makes from three to four sets before coming in.
 The boat cost him ten dollars at an auction. His total investment does not go over S100.
 Friends tell Thorwald on the strength of his drum -gurdy inven- tion, that he should be mechanic. but Thorwald Hansen, big and raw
