Democratic Meet
Set For July Is
Farley Chooses Date for Chi.
cago Convention. Other
Developments.

Political developments en- the
Weekend:
July Is was selected by Chair
man James A. Farley as the date
for the Democratic national con-
vention at Chicago.
Senator Wheeler announced he
would not seek Democratic dele
gates in any primary where
President Roosevelt's name has
been entered.
The Ohio democratic organiza-
ton declared that the President
should have support of the states
convention delegation if he seeks
denomination.
Petitions were filed to place
the Presidents name on the Ne
braska primary ballot April 9.
Senator Taft announced he
would not enter the Wisconsin
presidential primary.
Senator Wheeler, of Montana,
in a statement widely interpre-
ted as meaning he was deter
mined not to be drawn into any
''stop Roosevelt" movement, said
Saturday that he would enter no
primaries where" the Presidents
name is before the voters.
This announcement from Sena-
tor Wheeler, who has declared
his own availability if the Presi-
dent does not seek third term
and has commended Mr.. Roose-
welt should not be drafted, eli
NAKED a day of varied political
developments, including the Sc
lection of July Is as the date for
the Democratic national conven-
ton in Chicago.
Wheeler told reporters at Wash
ington that he had made this de-
cision because he had mo desire
to split up the liberal and pro-
gressive forces of this country
"a division he said might cause
the nomination of a reactionary
Democrat and result in a third
party movement.
Chairman James A. Farley
called the Democratic meeting
for a date exactly three weeks
after the Republican national
convention is to convene in
Philadelphia June "a.

Fresh Eggs Bring
Higher Prices

Don't offer a customer a pig
in a poke" says T. T. Brown, Ex-
tension poultryman of State COL
lege, in urging farmers to sell
only fresh eggs which command a
higher market price and keep
consumers satisfied. He advises
that all eggs be candled before
being marketed.
In Gambling eggs, take out those
which show "a large air cell, a
flattened and plainly visible yolk,
blood spots, and a thin white,
Brown said. A fresh egg has a
small air cell, rounded and dim
ly visible yolk, and a thick
white.
The poultry specialist made
eight suggestions for the produc-
ton of quality eggs: Cd Keep on
ly pure-bred poultry; (2) provide
floored house with clean litter;
CD enclose dropping boards or
roosting racks with wire netting;
keep nests filled with clean nest
ing material; (6) gather eggs at
least twice daily in wire baskets
(4) use high quality feed; 60
so as to allow them to cool quick
ly, and leave in wire baskets
overnight or spread on trays to
cool; CD store eggs in cool,
fairly moist place until marketed;
and (8) sell or pen males at the
end of the breeding season, and
sell infertile eggs.

BEST WISHES, OF COURSE!

Greetings and sincere best wishes to
The Allegheny News!
AS publishers of this new paper for
Sparta and Allegheny county, it is only ma
tural that we should extend Fluctuations
and wish for this new journalistic venture
the greatest possible measure OF success
At the same time we want to commend
leading Allegheny citizens upon their rea-
lization that a progressive newspaper IS
the greatest institution in community
and county for the promotion of progress,
growth and betterment.
"Our debut is being made because OF the
many invitations and pledges OF support
from leading Allegheny citizens who SAID
they wanted a live, newsy, progressive,
modern newspaper and expressed the be-
lief that the editors and publishers OF The
News could give them that kind OF pa
per" an editorial in the first issue OF the
paper explained.
1.-THE warm welcome and enthusiastic
reception already received, have far ex-
ceeded our fondest expectations 49,.
"For all of these fine expressions and for
what we hope will be continued welcom-
ing hand and support, we are deeply CRATE
full It shall be our unending aim to merit
and to live up to the high expectations OF
the friends of this paper who were large
Nv responsible for it's being brought into
existence. -.
Between Allegheny and Ashe county
there is close kindship and their interests
are more or less the same. What benefits
one benefits, to greater or less degree,
the other. They have the same health de-
partment, the same rural electr1tlcatlon
system, the same public service companies,
the same farm and school programs and
are in the same judicial and political dis
trlctS
eve regret that Sparta and Allegheny
are not yet of sufficient size to support
adequately a modern newspaper publish
ing plant, but with the aid of progress
sive paper. we are confident that the day
is not far distant when the fine leaders of
the county, who place service above self
in their public life and in their communl-
ty activities, will see to it that Sparta will
grow and warrant such an investment. :"
Just as The Post does in Ashe, The News
will endeavor to print the news and pro-
mote progress in Allegheny county.
There will be no let-up, however, in our
efforts to continue to make this paper one
of the BEST if not the best, weekly news
papers in North Carolina and to help make
Ashe an even better and more beautiful
county in which to live.

YOUNG TOM EDISON
FEATURED AT CAROLINA

The man, woman or child who
cannot thoroughly enjoy every
minute Of young Tom Edison,'
which opened yesterday at the Caro-
lima theatre for an engagement If 2
days, is not human and never was
young.
Here is a picture which q re.
viewer can recommend without fear
OF contradiction. It is a beautifully
human story Of a boy - Of any
generation and any walk of life
who triumphs against the stigma of
being considered strange. It has
everything comedy, adventure,
thrills, tears, human interest and
family love.
AS Tom Edison, Mickey Rooney
SHOWS his right to the claim of be-
ing an actor. He is ideally cast and
has never been more lovable. not
even as Andy Hardy. AS his sister.
Virginia Weidler has a role that
definitely makes her a star. Fav
Banter and George Bancroft, as
Edison's parents, will be remem.
bered as long Is motion pictures en-
dure.
Pete Smith is on the short pro-
gram for the second time this week
this time he does his jargon on a.
cute thing called "Stufhe." Fiorito's
Orchestra and the News complete
the shorts.

birth OF A NATION"
IS OFFERED AT ROYAL

"The Birth of a Nation" returns
to Wilmington today for a limited
engagement at the Royal theatre.
Since the release of Gone With
the Wind and the revival of this
D. W. Griffith epic, much has been
written about this first great mo-
ton picture.
In the New York Telegram De-
cember 20, William Boehnel COM
pared the two great motion pic
lures thusly Earlier I said that
Gone With the Wind resembles
The Birth of a Nation which it
does with a dash of Becky Sharp
from Vanity Fair thrown in. But
if Scarlet is the prototype of
Becky and if the general plot line
of Gone With the Wind is The
Birth of a Nation from before the
war, through it, into the Reconstruct
ton Era, the resemblance ends
there"
For where Becky is a human
being, Scarlet is chiefly superb
cial, and where the Griffith master
piece is not only epic in its scope
BUT human in it's Characterization.

and bloodless, albeit spectacular"
