FARM PRICES HIGHER Farmers of this country are re ceiving appreciably higher average prices for products this year than last, nccording to the Department of Agriculture. The most pronounced gain is in cotton which shows a 35 per rent in crease' in a year. Beef cattle are bringing 29 per cent more than in 1927, and hogs 12 per cent. Grain, corn and poultry are also up, from two to 21 per cent. A few products, including wheat, are to some degree below last year's prices. But these are exceptions to the general trend which undoubtedly is toward improved agricultural con ditions. GOODYEAR PATHFINDERS Quality at a low price is built into these extent * AROUND THE WORLD WITH E. B. JENKINS - ? * .> From the Rutherfordton, N. C.. tfews) Madeira Islands * *>? / . ' ?v ' We landed at Funchal, Madeira Islands, Saturday morning at 6:00 o' clcfck, April 10th. Went ashore at 8: 30 and took a bollock sled up to the railway station. The bollock sleds are pulled over the smooth cobble stones with which all tho streets and sidewalks are paved. If *.he sled ran slow the driver ? * *\ 0f burlap, which has been covered in grease, un der it. We took the cog arilway and went up the mountainside to 3,800 feet. On the way up we passed vine yards, gardens of roses, camelias, fuchias, lillies, the most beautiful I have ever aeen since in Southern Cal ifornia. There were fig trees, hybis cus, poinsetta and palm trees. It made me think of Florida. From the top of the mountain e had the most wonderful view I have ever looked upon in my life. Down the mountainside the vineyards look ed like great velvet carpets spread out. ,On down was the city of Fun chal, with its bright colored houses, each one covered with red tile. Out beyond was the harbor, ' with many ships at anchor, among them our ship Patria. Although she is 540 feet long she looked like a top ship at that distance. On further out was the eea with its white-capped waves rolling in, and on and on it stretched until the sea was lost in a haze of clouds out on the horizon. As I gazed upon this scene I thought of the city John saw in Revelation. We came down the mountain on a toboggan slide of chairs on run ners. TV> men guided the chair sleds. Some of the time we made good time, and sometimes had to be held back in order not to run away. On our way up and coming back, everywhere children would give us flowers, bunches of violets, roses, lilies, and there were so many of them that I wondered if they thought we were on our honeymoon. But the children expected us to give them money for the flowers. At the evening meal on boat that night every table was graced with large lilies. Overhead, the ceiling was decorated with loganvilla, our Florida vine. . We took dinner at the Reid hotel, the leading hotel in Funchal. It was a beautiful hotel on a cliff overlook ing the sea. The cooking w^a French 1 and I did not care for the meals. i?ad rather have had some fried chicken and hot biscuits. After dinner we went down town in the shopping dis- 1 trict. All the people over here think , all we Americans are rich, and hey ; want to sell us everything. Every ] time you turn around they hold out their hands for a tip. All their ' names are Jimmie, "I take what you ; gimmie.'* Our ship anchored out one mile from the wharf. We started back at 2:30 o'clock as the last boat left the < dock at 4:00 o'clock. On our way out we stopped to let half of our passen gers off at a German vessel neal* by. When we neared our ship the high wave8 began to hit our motor boat, and then we had the thrill of our lives. Personally I din't caro to re peat it. When we tried to get up to the gang plank we could not reach it as the waves were rising s0 high. A bout this time a big wave hit us and we got a sprinkling. By this time our motor boat was bobbing up and down Hke a jumping jack, and we were thrown from our seats a foot high, and had to hold on for dear life. The gang plank was four feet above us, and when the swells came we wore six feet below it. Now I will be honest and say that,it seemed to me that' I never saw the waves so high, and they were only six feet, but J realized we were In danger of smash ing into the side of the Patria, or being swamped. Will also say that I am old fashioned, and am not ashamed to say that I prayed, and my prayer was: ''Lord, save us, Lord save us". Then the boatment were trying to hold on to the ropes attached to the Patria. Another wave hit us and a lady, sitting near ma with a little two year old boy was very much frighten ed as the child was thrown into the bottom of the boat and \fcas crying. At this juncture a lull came, and I got my boy to ,the edge of the boat and he sprang up on the gang plank platforiY) and went up th* steps like a squirrel. Then I felt better. If the boat had been swamped I would have gono down, as I had an oyercoat on, and a pair of field glasses and a ko dak strapped over my shoulder, and would have gone down like a piece of lead. One of the boatmen picked up the child from the bottom of the boat and was trying to hand it to a man on the gang plank platform. As the woman was excited, she caught it. Then I took the child and hande l it to a man. Standing near was a gen tteman with hi. collar rtinnliur *11 the way round. f ji He did not ottet to help any of the ladles, hut got on the plat ^ AN ORDINANCE To Regulate The Running of Auto mobiles or Motor Vehicles of Any Description,.

The boat was still riding the waves and sometimes wo were four feet above and below, and wo to assist the women up as we were pitching so. When I put my feet on the Patria I felt aft though I was on solid ground and I praised the Lord. Now this was a thriller that was not included in the trip but we got it. One of the men in the motor boat pullfd off his coat to get ready to swim. He told me afterwards that he ownod and ran a motor boat, and that we had only a chance in a thousand of not being swamped. He called it luck that we were saved. I called it Providence. We passed Gibraltar at 9 o'clock. It is some fortification 1 And can be seen for milcg out at sea. It is 1,400 feet high and there aro nome 8,000 soldiers garrisoned there. It in only six miles over to the coast of Africa. The water is only 600 feet deep in the channel at the rock. I learned that the deepest place of the Atlantic is between Azors Islands and Madeira, a distance of 18,000 feet. What I was thinking was, if the boat should sink that I .would have to hold my breath some time till I got to the bottom. We are due at Algiers Africa, to morrow at 8:00 o'clock. Will spend the day there and tour the oity. Will write an article ffom there. I trust you folks enjoy these articles for I certainly am enjoying the trip.
