''The Woman Who Rang the Bell" the Story
OF the Life of Cornelia Phillips Spencer

"The Woman Who Rang the Bell:
the Story of Cornelia Phillips Spen-
GER" by Phillips Russell, published
by the University of North Carolina
Press, will go on sale tomorrow (Sat-
urday) at the Bulls Head Bookshop,
the Book Exchange, Abs Bookshop,
and other bookstores throughout the
United States. Or, it can be ordered
by mail from the University Press.
The price is SIS.
Anybody will get pleasure from
reading this book, because of Mrs.
Spencer's remarkable qualities and
achievements, and because of the viv-
idness, the understanding, and the
humor with which the story of her
life is told; but the book will of
course have special appeal to the
people, whether old-timers or new
comers, who are interested in the his
tory of the University and Chapel
Hill. To these people it will be much
more than casual treat-it will be
a priceless treasure.
The title is based on a dramatic
incident in Mrs. Spencer's career: the
celebration of the reopening of the
University in 1875 after the desola-
ton and distress Of the Reconstruc-
ton period. She had led the move
ment for bringing the institution to
life again, and the news of her
triumph came on March 20, her 50th
birthday, in the form Of telegram
from Raleigh about the favorable ac-
ton ef the the legislature. ggiisllaat
She called to her 16-year-old
daughter June; they collected two
children of the neighborhood, Susan
and Jenny Thompson, and then An
drew Mickle, former postmaster and
University bursar. The five of them
went through the Episcopal church
yard and across the campus. When
they came to, the South building
then deserted and dreary and dilapi-
dated like all the other buildings
Mrs. Spencer climbed to the belfry,
seized the rope, and rang the bell that
had been silent for so many years.
The pealing of the college bell pro-
claimed the beginning Of a new era,
not only feE the University y aassv siitsy but but for
the whole State.
What we have to tell here" says
Mr.. Russell in his Introductory chap
ter, "will be called biography. But
really it will be love story-Corne-
liza Phillips Spencer's love for
sleepy Southern village and the Uni
versity it contained"
Then the story unfolds the drama
of long and eventful life, with the
scenery, the characters, the action all
woven into harmonious whole.
The one-year-old Cornelia Phillips
was brought from New York to Chap
ell Hill in 1926. when her father,
James Phillips, came here as a pro-
fessor of mathematics. "She loved
Chapel Hill and tended it with a brood
ing, lowering care that never relax
ed. Its deep green campus, its great
trees, its uneven sidewalks and
graveled paths, its quiet professors
and gentle professors wives, its
houses and lanes all these she low
ed"

tests, before the new process can be utilized
on a commercial basis.
That is why officials of Montana State
college, the forest utilization service and
other agencies, are asking the state legisla-
ture to provide funds to build and main
tain a pilot manufacturing plant at the col
lege. Adequate supplies of wood waste are
available at Bozeman and the engineering
and agricultural specialists at the college
would be of great assistance in carrying out
the project. The essential feeding tests
would be conducted by the animal hus-
bandry department of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, which has already carried
out the preliminary feeding demonstra-
tons with the new product. Valuable
equipment for the proposed new plant has
been offered by the forest products labora-
tory in Wisconsin.
This project represents such an excellent
example of the commercial utilization of
by-products and raw materials so badly
needed for Montana's industrial develop
ment that it should receive the full support
of the legislature. The $4,000 required for
the construction of the plant and the small
additional amount for maintenance consti-
tute a very modest investment for the state
holds such promising possibilities

A Better Outlook for Sugar Beets

that the domestic beet sugar quota will be
permanently reduced if not fully utilized.
The sugar act of 1913 allots the domestic
beet sugar industry 1900, 900 tons of sugar
production annually but the industry fell
Is percent short of that figure last year.
If the beet sugar industry should continue
to fall short of it's allotment there would
be serious danger that congress would re-
duce the quota and thus put a lid on future
development of beet acreage.
AS all irrigation farmers know, sugar
beets not only bring in substantial cash in
come but are of great additional value be-
cause of their importance in crop rotation
and in supplying feed byproducts. And
mechanization is taking more and more Of
the headache out of the labor problem.
Sugarbeets seem destined to an increas-
ingly important place in the irrigation
farming program if the provisions of the
sugar act are administered in a way that
will assure profitable returns-and that
appears to be the intention of the depart
ment of agriculture.

PRELIMINARY tests conducted by the
Il forest utilization service and Montana
State college point favorably to the posi-
bility of producing a valuable feed supple
ment from waste wood products. AS ex-
planned in the article "Stock Feed From
Wood in the Dec. Is issue of Montana
Farmer-Stockman, wood sugar molasses
produced from Sawdust and other waste
woods has been found to b. just as s~atisfac-
tory as beet or cane molasses for use in a
livestock feed ration.
If further feeding tests substantiate this
conclusion and if practical methods of pro-
ducing the wood molasses can be developed
a valuable new feed supplement may be-
come available to stockgrowers. 1t is esti-
mated that Montana's lumber industry pro-
duces about 200 tons of waste wood per
day. This amount would be sufficient to
produce 10000 gallons of the new product.
Availability of large quantities of wood
molasses at a comparatively low cost would
materially improve the competitive posi-
ton of Montana livestock feeders.
While the experiments that have been
carried ON nave brought favorable results,
it will be necessary to develop efficient
methods of producing the molasses on a
large scale, and to carry on further feeding

NOV that Montana beet growers lave
~ had an opportunity to observe the
strengthening effect on sugar prices of the
preliminary announcement of the 1949
consumptive quota they are inclined to
think more favorably of maintaining or
increasing their beet acreage this year.
Another encouraging factor is the larger
payment total for the 1948 crop than ap-
peared likely last fall.
The sugarbeet income outlook for this
year and for the future has also become
relatively more promising because of the
downtrend in grain prices. Irrigation farm
ers nave made spectacular returns in nu-
merous cases in recent years by planting
more of their acreage to wheat, barley, oats,
or flax in order to capitalize On the alb
normally high grain prices, even though
they realized that such excess grain acre
age is an unsound practice on irrigated
land in the long run.
Irrigation farmers also appreciate the

the past and have learned how to guard
against this threat.
Even so the cattle and sheep men are

all possible precautions because this winter

The Feel of a Hard Winter

WHILE more difficult conditions may
w develop before the winter is over,
stockgrowers in most sections of Montana
nave been lucky compared with those in
some states where abnormally severe snow
and wind conditions have endangered large
numbers of cattle and sheep. Except for a
few isolated areas in the state SHOWS have
not been as heavy or drifting as severe as
in some of the other regions.
Most sections of the state are still in
reasonably good shape as far as feed sup
plies are concerned. Ranchers built up good

Straws in the Wind

In q SId1emenI OF pOlCY mace at lCS re-
cent annual convention, the National
Grange advocated "an agricultural econ
omy of organized, sustained and realistic
abundance at prices fair to both producers
and consumers. 1t believes that "those who
produce abundantly to assure the nation
against want are entitled to reasonable
assurance that this abundance will not be
permitted to destroy them through ruin
ously low prices" These general principles
will be approved by all fair-minded peo-
pie. The big problem is how to accomplish
these detectives through democratic means.
Under a food stamp plan that will be con-
sidered by congress families of four with an
income of less than about 5000 a month
would be eligible for stamps. Food expense
in low income families is figured at 40 per-
cent of income. If this falls short of $40 a
month per person, the estimated cost Of an
adequate diet, the government would make
up the difference in food stamps. If such a
plan were in operation now the added con-
sumption would raise average farm product
prices from 3 to 4 percent, with farm food
products getting about double that lift.

Human population of the United States
increased $4,000, 900 between 1920 and 1913,
but beef cattle population is the same now
as in 1920. In the period from 1945 to 1913
human population increased by 5000, 900
while our beef cattle numbers decreased
by 100000 head. Is it any wonder that
economists predict that cattle prices will
remain relatively favorable during the next
few years?
One-crop farms and one-crop farming
communities won't enjoy as stable an in

mites where there is greater diversified

not to be recommended under present ma
chine methods but a reasonable amount of
Investigation is desirable when conditions
permit.
While liquidation of ewes appears to be
tapering off, the increase in sheep numbers
will probably be slow as long as cattle
prices are good and range grass conditions
continue abnormally favorable. When drier
years return to the range country there
will be some tendency to swing from cattle
to sheep.

earnings. He had not. He told
Congress that he wanted an addi-
tional 81 1000, 100000 in revenues and
said he thought most of it could be
furnished by higher corporation
taxes.
His proposal was greeted in Con-
greSS with notable lack of enthusi-
asm, not only from Republicans but
Democrats as well. From the stand
of businessmen, and of the market,
it was highly favorable reaction.
Difficulties Expected.
The opinion took shape-and 1t
was quickly reflected in the ex-
change-that the President might
run into considerable trouble with
his tax suggestions. And tax troubles
we're not the only difficulties fore
seen for the President. He had out
lined legislative program of huge
scope. Assuming a more or less
docile congress, it would take
months and months to get the nee
essary laws on the books. The Pres
ident's program. it was figured, was
headed for shortcuts, compromises,
delays, revisions.
The behavior of steel stocks clear
ly illustrated this attitude. In one
of the few surprises in the message.
the President suggested a study Il
critical shortages the specifically
mentioned steeD with the idea that
the Government itself might find it
necessary to 60 into the production
field. Steel issues, nevertheless, ad-
vanced.
One flnancier commented: BY
the time they get around to finish
ing the study, the steel shortage will
be all OVER
Quite a few market analysts
thought the immediate reaction to
the Presidential message was a flash
in the pan.
The rise in stock prices was COM
pared to the attitude of the man
who had a stomach ache for a long
time and finally gets up enough
courage to see doctor and hear
the worst. He is informed he has
nothing but small ulcer.
Nothing but little ulcer? That's
fine" He goes away beaming. A
few days later he suddenly asks
himself: What have l got to be
happy about? A little ulcer? I may
have it the rest of my life!' He
reverts to his original gloom.
This group Of analysts believe the
immediate favorable reaction of the
market will soon wear off.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The stock
market swung ahead this week for
the sharpest overall gain since
October.
The advance ground to a halt in
today's short session but only after
something like s1,40O,o00O00 had
been added during the week to the
market value of all stocks listed on
the New York exchange. Prices got
a bad shaking on Monday but from
then on the direction was forward.

small price changes fairly evenly

The weeks advance revolved
around the Presidents state of the
Union message to Congress.
Helps to Clear Air.
The message could scarcely be
termed an unqualified success from
the point of view of the businessman
or industrialist but it did have the
effect of clearing the air and showed
clearly the position of the President
on almost every vital issue.
Trading got off to a bad start.

Immediate reaction in the business
community was favorable but there
was no pronounced impact on the
stock market, where prices gently
advanced on small turnover.
Wall Street Relieved
Overnight the picture changed
Wall Street literally heaved a sigh
of relief. The cards were laid down
and the President had showed a
hand which-with a few important
exceptions-was just about in line
with expectations. There was no
more guessing over what the Presi-
dent might or might not ask.
Probably the most important ex-
ception was an omission Of any ref
erence to an excess profits tax,
bogey which has been haunting the
dreams of many capitalist, large
and small.
Stock prices moved forward for
one of the widest average gains Of
the past year. The market broke
through ceiling which it had been
unable to penetrate for around two
months. Buying spilled over into

rose to the highest mark since No
