HOGS THRIVE WHEN
GIVEN PLENTY CORN

Windsor, Nov 2.-Hogs thrive on
corn, and in turn help to produce
better corn when a swine production
and cropping system such as that US
ed by A. V. Cobb, of Snakebite town
ship is followed.
B. E. Grant, BERTHE county farm
agent, reported today that Mr. Cobb
has completed demonstration OF
corn growing which produced in
teresting results. Last winter the far
mer fed out % pigs on one-half acre
of "clean ground" that is a field
where hogs had not been pastured
in recent years, thereby preventing
disease and parasite infection. The
% pigs made an average daily gain
Of 1.89 pounds and put on 100 pounds
gain with a feed consumption of 373
pounds, which Grant explained is an
excellent record.

Governor Clyde HOey has been re-

Here's a good line from the de
lenses answer in the case Of Mrs.
Bessie D. Blalock and Mrs Ethel d.
Bennett, executives of Mark Squires,
deceased, VS.. w. c.. Whisnant, as re-
ported in the Supreme Court de-
cision handed down Wednesday:
CAS- further defense, defendant
pleads the three-year and the ten
year statute of limitations and all
other statutes Of limitations known
to God or man."
Man may listen to the plea, but
God certainly will not if the facts
alleged by the plaintiffs can be
proved.
The cause Of action alleges that
Squires, as an attorney, succeeded in
keeping Whisnant out Of a five-year
penitentiary term to which he had
been sentenced in 1928. Squires, it is
alleged, appeared before the Volun-
teer Supreme Court and secured a
dismissal Of the Indictment against
Whisnant.
1t is alleged that no payment for
these services was ever made until
1888, when SIS was paid on account.
Recovery of 81 900 is sought
The North Carolina Supreme Court
ruled that Judge Frank Armstrong
should have admitted testimony
which Squires gave at hearing be-
fore his death. The case, which had
been dismissed on demurrer, was re-
manded for new trial.

Britain Told

Continued from Page y
the British convoy system to pro-
tect merchant shipping was now
in full operation" both for incom-
ing and outgoing vessels and that
ships now leaving these shores
are defensively armed against SUBJ
marines and airplanes."
British attacks on submarines
have been five or six times as nu-
merous as during any equal period
in the World war, he said. The
ratio of submarine attacks, he en-
phasized, is now going swiftly
downward.
Great Britain, he said, has lost
141,000 tons of shipping so far,
broken down as follows: $4,000 tons
during the first week; $4,000 tons
during the second week; 21,000 tons
turing the third week and 900C
tons in the past six days.
Churchill said that the British
tonnage lost in the first week Of
the present war amounted to half
the weekly losses suffered in April
1917.

Allies Can't Win
Short War; Nazis
Can't Win Long One

Continued From Page -
banking on the probability that
German leaders, especially the Ger
man high command, feel that Ger
many can not withstand a long wal
and therefore they may have de-
layed any attempts at a smashing
offensive.
The French and British with the
Maginot line at their backs feel
confident that this wall will take
care of any offensive which may
be launched by the Germans. The
Maginot line consists of a string
of hundreds OF Verduns. In 1916
1000, 900 Germans were unable 70
take one Verdun.
Allied strategy may be based on
forcing the Germans into breaking
their teeth on the western front
while less dramatic factors do their
work inside Germany. Britons are
encouraged by the fact that Ger
man prisoners are frequently found
with British propaganda leaflets in
their pockets.
Among reasons for the apparent
slowness of the war in reaching the
slugging stage Is that in present
day warfare, unlike previous wars.
1t is vital to provide protection for
civilians at the same time prep
arations are made for war in the
field. For instance Britain actually
Is providing protection for $4,000, ,00r
civilians at home besides arranging
for their food supplies.
The Allies are convinced that
time plays into their hands. They
realize that they possess the pre-
ponderance of weight in financial
and industrial power and access to
raw materials.
The Allies are convinced that
France is secure from invasion be-
hind her Maginot line, which is as
nearly invulnerable as any fortifi-
cation in history, and that Britain
can not be defeated in the field SC
long as her navy dominates the
seas.
Allied leaders apparently fee
convinced that the French and
British are safe from defeat by
Germany. They apparently are pro-
ceeding on the assumption thai
when the German masses realize
the hopelessness of a quick military
victory over the Allies, when the
dead weight of the blockade begins
to be felt heavily, and when the
Allied price to end the war is aboli.
tion of the Nazi bureaucracy, they
will do something about it. Thai
Is one reason for the British pro-
paganda pamphlet raids over Ger
many.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. (UP)-
Neutrality debate which is dividing
both major political parties placed
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional committees today on as near
ly non-partisan basis as they
ever are likely to attain.
Practically all the advantage in
the existing situation lies with the
Democrats headed by Chairman
James A. Farley and Publicity Di-
rector Charles Nicholson. Officially
and actually, both committees now
are committed to handling publicity
on both sides of the neutrality
debate.
Chairman John D. NJ. Hamilton's
decision was considerably more diff
ficult to make than that of Farley
because the G.. o. P. is more divided
than the administration party. Re-
turning from Europe with the flood
tide of other American refugees,
Hamilton announced that the Re-
publican committee would not place
itself in a position where it could
