EGG-BEATERS
<The other day... .while I was very
busy my *** c*Med me <>n^ho
u0ne ?nd told me to* meet her down
mm-at 10:0a A. M., Eastern (Standard
timojtad assist her in her afoopinJf,
I |fks an the right corner at
fo-21 >k. She showed up promptly
*t 11:33 A. M with, UJ am
torry that I am a minute or two late."
I said yessum.
What she wanted wee an eggbeater.
As I* Vnow all about eggbeaters,
I felt that she had called
on the proper machinist to make the
selection. The first, second, third and
fourth stores we visited did not carry
egg-.beaterB. The fifth store was an
undertaking establishment, and they
were ."just out." I did not object to
anything or suggest anywhere.
We found a 'fairly nice egg-beater
in a 10-cent store, but it did not suit
mv wjfe as Bhe wanted a lucent
egg-beater. She owned a 10-cent eggbeater
once, and it was unsatisfactory.
We went to the other 4 10cent
stores and all of their egg-beaters
were worth only 10 cents, so none
of them suited her. I was sorry they
had them marked in plain figgers: I
could have had the price raised a
nickle had it not been for that.
We called on a hardware store,
His 10-cent egg-beaters were priced
at 25 cents, so that broke up a trade.
I finally got her to consent to try
out one of those 10-cent egg-heaters,
but she could not get one on approval,
so there we were, ?he had just about
made up her mind to let me invest
in the 25-cent machine, but suddenly
discovered that it would not
run backwards.
.1 persuaded her to go to a racket
store, but she took the position racket
stores did anything but tennis
rqgkets. Anyway, she consented
to go, and lo and behold, the man
had some of the cutest little 5-cent
egg-beaters you ever saw for only
15 cents, ?he liked them very well
till she found that they would not
fit her egg-beating ibowl....as they
were too small at one end.
..After 3 or \ hours of hard work,
we both gave up in despair. We will
try it again soon. We want the
world to know that we must have a
15-cent egg-beater that will beat the
yolk and yellow of an egg at the
same time... .and will run sideways,
forward and backward. The color
doesn't matter much just ~~so it is
a dark brown to match our breadtray.
I dearly love to shop with my
wife. She knows exactly what she
wants, but nobody else does.

Fish Found Dying
In Manning Lakes
i N>
Manning, July 28.?The surfaces of
several of the lakes on Black River
near Manning are covered with dead
and dying fi*h of every kind. This
condition was discovered Wednesday
by local fishermen at Brewington and
Martin's Lake. As described by them
thousands of dead fish cover the surface
of the waters and just beneath
can be seen countless others in a
dying condition. <Some were brought
to town for an examination, among
which were five trout, a great number
of the dead being this specie.
Various theories have been advanced
as to the .cause of this phenomenon.
It has been definitely decided
that no dynamiting has been
done in either of these lakes. So far
?tp evidence of poison can be found
in th^ waters. The stream is running
freely but the water seems to
be troubled and muddy from the bottom.
Some have advanced the idea
of some unusual erosion of the
stream bed.
ECONOMY GROUP FORMED
I Organization Effected- in New York
to Try Stop Growing Expenditures
P
New York.?tSix of America's foremost
men have accepted leadership
| of *the National Economy league's
war on waste in government, which
was- declared Tuesday with formal
sanction of President Hoover and
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Calvin Coolidge, Alfred E. Smith,
Elihu 'Root, Newton D. Baker, General
John J. Pershing and Admiral
William S. (Sims comprise a national
advisory council of the league, formed
to guide its fight against alleged
excessive payments to veterans and
mounting government costs.
These six will be no mere "figureheads,"
the league announced, but
will serve in active capacity as advisors
and leaders.
A vehement plea by President Hoover
for a national group to defend
congress in withstanding "swarms of
lobbies" was read before men from
30 states assembled to organize the
movement. '
"There is great need for a nationwide
and non-partisan organization,"
the message read, "designed to give
persistent attention to keeping down
governmental expenditures. The subject
is too complicated to be dealt
with by sporadic groups in temporary
emergencies.
"The pressure upon governments to
spend more are ceaseless, and no intermittent
protests will stem the tide.
9w?rms of lobbies are organized behind
every form of expenditure, and
no organized group ever defends
members of congress who withstand
their pressures. Ceaseless vigilance
alone can cope with them. Every
branch of government activity should
be scrutinized, and of state and city
governments as well as federal."
Franklin 'D. Roosevelt, democratic]
nominee foj; president, said, "The
declaration in favor of government
economy, and also in what it says in
relation to adequate care for war disabled
veterans who have suffered disability
or disease from actual service
! in time of war or their dependents."
Immediate objective of the .league
is to pare off some $452,000,000 in
payments to veterans, most of which
it is claimed are collected for disabilities
not suffered through war service.
The roster of names in the move-1
ment is a distinguished "Who's Who"
from both political parties, the army,
navy and civilian life.
Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd,
slimly erect Virginia explorer, told
the group it was "just a man's simple
duty" to "stay at home and fight"
for his second venture into Antartica
to serve as league chairman pro-tem.
Majbr General James G. Harbord,
veteran of many campaigns,
warned the meeting he presided
it . i i 4 /\icr
UVC1 limb UJT -Zsrw
rate, payments to veterans and their
dependents would be $2,000,000,000
annually.
Greenville Clark, league president,
urged that veterans' payments be the
first place to begin the budget slashing.
M<v--Clark-, was chosen head of,
the national executive committee.
Archibald B. Rooseveft, an initiator
of the movement and league secretary
read a declaration of the league's
purposes.
To insure a wide-spread distribution
of its road moneys the North
Carolina highway comniission is planning
for the use of local labor and
mules rather than machinery. Fixed
scales of wages will be provided for
both skilled and unskilled labor and
also it is probable thatf the commission
will provide a lowev cost typs
of roadways in order to spread the
benefits over a wider territory.
