Funeral Rites Held
For Justice Robb

Funeral services for former Justice
Charles H. Robb of the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia were held today in St.
Patrick's Episcopal Chapel, on Fox
hall road NV, with the Rev. DR.
F. E. Warren offlciating. Burial WAS
scheduled to be private. Justice
Robb died Saturday at his home,
l700 Hoban road NV.
The Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict and the civil branches of United
States District Court were in ad-
journment today as a tribute to JUS
tice Robb.
Many prominent persons, includ-
ing justices of the Court of Appeals,
were honorary pallbearers.
Justice Robb, who was in his 72d
year, retired as justice in November,
1887, after 81 years service. For
Is years he was a member of the
law faculty of National University.
In 1881 he was named professor
emeritus.

many other prejudiced individuals
do not know, that II this years cot
ton crop sells for IL cents a pound,
II wheat sells for 81 per bushel.
and II corn sells for 81 cents per
bushel, not q single dime of the
money appropriated for these COM
modities will be expended. But you
have heard little or nothing about
that contingency.
I should like to repeat tonight
what have so frequently said in
other addresses touching agrarian
matters. It is the first law of nature
for every man or group of men
representing a particular commodity
to protect themselves and their in
terests therein. But it should be
remembered that we all must look
at this problem from a national
viewpoint. And tomorrow, as of to-
day and yesterday, we need unity
OF thought, unity of action, unity
Of aim, and unity of plan. Therein
lies permanent success for every
group OF American farmers which
means continued economic security.
And in the days to come, espe-
cially in 1910, when politicians
begin singing their lullabys 1 ask
the American farmer to be on guard
for those who are full of sound and
fury but offer nothing constructive.
Analyze all political platforms deal
ing with agriculture to see if the
boys back of the scenes are drafting
platitudes, twaddle and moonshine,
rather than a substantial program
to aid you and your family.
Now, my friends, it would be
foolish for me to stand before this
microphone and tell the farmers of
America that their problems are all
solved and settled, but do believe
that every thinking farmer and
every thinking citizen who makes an
impartial study of the farm problem
can not help but agree that the
present program, even though it has
been in existence only a short time,
has what it takes to sustain and
increase the national farm income.
In conclusion, I wish to commend
the Hon. Henry A. Wallace, Sec
retary of Agriculture, and the heads
of the various agencies of his de-
partment for the interest, the labor,
and the enthusiasm they have con-
sistently demonstrated in attempt
ing to give to the farmers a workable
program. Nor can I conclude with
out paying a tribute to the SYM
pathetic, keen and understandable
interest that the President of the
United States has constantly shown
on behalf of the problems of agri-
culture. No man who has ever
served as Chief Executive of this
Nation has done as much for the
American farmer.

Brown university in Rhode Is
land, which is observing the 30th
hasn't shaken Hahn's belief that
the idea of an earlier Thanksgiv-
ing is fundamentally sound. =
He's convinced it will enable
the pualic-at least the part
that's observing the earlier date
to do its Christmas shopping
more easily, with less worry and
fuss, and that it probably will
lead to more business and in
creased employment.
Nor is he alarmed over the
hullabaloo that followed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's changing the
date. He never gets alarmed. "Of
course" he said today with a
hearty laugh, II was quite unpre-
pared for the storm it kicked up.
It looked to me for a while as if
New England was going to secede
from the union.
"A great many people who have
been opposing the thing talk as
if Thanksgiving were q fixed
date but it never has been. It has
roamed all over the calendar.
And it's only one day earlier this
year than it was last.

Man Who Wanted Thanksgiving
Changed To Eat Two Turkeys

After all the fuss and furry
about Thanksgiving, it developed
this week that the household of
the man who made the first re-
corded request for an earlier date
will have two turkey day dinners
after all-on the 23rd and the
30th.
The man is Lew Hahn, genial
gray-haired general manager of
the . National Retail Dry Goods
association, who suggested to Sec
rotary of Commerce Hopkins in
August that Thanksgiving pc
showed ahead a week. Shortly af-
forwards, President Roosevelt
said he intended to propose such
change.

Red Cross First
Aid Stations In
Co. Are Planned
L. P. Coward Spoke at Rotary
Club Meeting. Gives His
tory of Movement.

One of the detectives of the
Ashe County Chapter Of the
American Red Cross fer next
year is the establishment OF first
aid stations in the county, l.. r.
Coward, chapter chairman, told
members of the Rotary club last
Thursday night.
The Rotarians met in the base
ment of the West Jefferson Meth
odist church here and enjoyed a
splendid supper that was pre-
pared and served by the Woman's
Missionary Society.
Rev. Hoyt Wood was a guest
of the club and gave the invoca-
ton. Gwyn Price made an an
nouncement relative to the colo
storage project, and thanked each
member for the excellent co-ope-
ration given in securing members
in the proposed cooperative.
Rotarian Bruce Dent, Red Cross
roll call chairman, introduced the
guest speaker, Mr.. Coward, ana
announced that over 125 mem
bers had already been secured
at that time.
Mr.. Coward gave an interesting
end instructive talk in which ne
reviewed the history of the Red
Cross and told about the actlvl-
ties of the local chapter.
He praised the schools in the
county for the fine cooperation
which they have given each year
to make the roll call success.
"Our chairman has set 800 as
the goal for this year and I don't
see any reason why we should
not reach this goal" he stated.
Fifty cents of every $1.OO re-
mains in the county to be used
locally" he explained.
