P. minister, whom we all like an<} whom, without, fail, always brings us an interesting and inspiring message, one that lingers, with us long. He impresses us so that we listen to him with undivided attention. Mr. Pressly stressed the necessity of consentration telling us that all of bur brains are the same except that some are abused. When we try to listen to or learn different things at the same time our brain is blurred and we can not remem* ber any of them long, while at the same time if we consentrate on one thing at the time, it will remain with us and we don’t have to go look it up when wanted but already have it. He told us how effective it is to begin young to cultivate a good memory. We mre always glad to have Mr. Pressly and the other ministers with us and they are always wel comed in our high school. , ; R. c. * THE 4-H CLUB. The 4-H Club held its regular meeting October 3th at the high •school building. The meeting was presided over by the • president, Sara Smith. The secretary, Alma Paulkner, called the roll and read the minutes of the previous meet ing which were approved as read. Many matters of importance were brought upland discussed. Room Improvement was the principal topic. It was decided that each member make a pillow for a chair. These were to be made of pieces as a quilt and brought to the next meeting of the club. Sara Louise Strdm was elected chairman of the program committee. The time of the meeting was changed from the 4th Wednesday to the 2nd Wednes day, * As there was no program for this meeting we adjourned to meet the 2nd Wednesday in November^ Class Reporter. MR. RAY IN CHAPEL. On 19^Wednesday Mr. R. R. Kay, a minister from Chicago, came 'to our school to seU. magazines and books for our library. ^ He de livered a brief message to us in chapel. Our lives were compared to a small tributary of' the Mississippi River, from the time it flows into the Mississippi and until the Mis sissippi flows into *the Gulf of Mexico. He explained, the duty of this tributary and the burden it had to bear without ever complain ing and liow different our lives are, in that we usually complain about the smallest amount of work which we have to do. He also brought out the fact that no matter how much is required of the river it continues to be beaif- tiful and make soil fertile and in that way helps others. We too, could bring happiness to others if we would willingly carry our load without complaining. R.

Everybody knows that the cost of Government, as represented by the taxes that are levied, has in creased materially in recent years. How great that increase has been is emphasized by a recent reoert of the United States Department of Commerce which shows that in 1928, the last year for which figures are available, the cost of operation of the 43 State Governments amounted to the staggering sum of $1,208,286,155, or at the rate of $10.17 for every man, woman and child in the country. This com pared with a per caoita cos’: of $9.55 in 1927 and of $4.17 in 1917. This, remember, represents iust the cost of operating and main taining established general depart ments of the State Governments and d6es not take into account other State expenditures or the cost of Federal, county and munic ipal governments. As shown by the figures given, the ^ per capita cost of the general departments of State Government mere than doubled between 1917 and 1927, and from every indica tion in 1928, were -continuing to increase at an alarming rate. In addition, expenditures for the operation and maintenance of pub lic service enterprises amounted to $9,435,200; interest on debt $86,- 928,560, and outlays for permanent improvements were $584,522,622, making a grand total of $1,889,172,- 537, In 1928. Read those figures again. One billion, eight hundred eighty-nine million, one hundred seventy-two thousand, five hundred thirty-sev en dollars. Sonorous, mouth-fill ing figures they are, representing more ^money than any person can really imagine.. The bright spots in the situation lie in the fact that of the payments for operation and maintenance of general departments 40 per cent was for education, and that 27 of the states succeeded in making a reduction in their indebtedness. In spite of this, however, interest charges in 1928 were about 8 1-4 million dollars more than in 1927, and there was an increase of $76,- 346,515 in the total indebtedness of I the 48 states which brought it up | to $1,584,564,765 or $13.39 per capita. In 1927 the per capita debt was $12.32 and in 1917 it was $4.39. Of the amounts spent for perma nent improvements 78.5 per cent was for highways. Next in import- , ar.ee were expenditures for chari- ties, hospitals and corrections which amounted to $45,026,146, and for education totalling $40,700,437. | Twenty-four states, the report shows, not only balanced their bud gets in 1928 but had an excess of revenue receipts after paying all expenses. No state spent more for operation, maintenance and inter est than its revenues. A. J. Maxwell, Commissioner of Revenue of North Carolina, in a re cent article in the United States Daily, said in part, “We may post pone it temporarily as a difficult and unpleasing task; we may try out other expedients; but wisdom and statesmanship require a sub stantial readjustment of the oper ating cost of government in frank recognition of changed economic conditions. ; x “We cannot with safety longer postpone a thorough reconsidera- f tlon of the total cost of government in its varied operations. Necessity compels it. ' The army of social service should do more than fall in and co-operate with it; it should furnish the leadership to give con structive direction and effective ness to it.” txt Hpgs usually get tuberculosis from tuberculous cattle or fowls. To prevent this disease in swine- |observe a few simple rules: Pas teurize milk fed to hogs, especially milk from creameries. If hogs are to feed behind mature cattle have ;the cattle tested and eliminate re actors to the tuberculin test; Cook ! thoroughly any offal or carcasses that are to be fed to hogs; and dis pose of tuberculous poultry flocks. “MYSELF’ I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know.

Mrs. Stallworth is working on the annual report this week. We club girls have gotten our record cards filled in and handed to her. She is also urging us to finish our note books. The completion of our cards and notebooks counts twenty-five per cent on our annual grade. Our club has been organized on ly a year. It has-been rather dif ficult for each of us to attend reg ularly and complete the work we were required to do. When t'h’e*‘jteports are filed there will be a few-who were faithful and will probably* get certificates. Let’s profit in the work of the Dan McGrath: I have a weeping willow, but it doesn’t weep. What shall I do?

Heart, tongue; kidneys, brains, tripe, liver, and sweetbreads are all. rich in food value, delicate in flavor and generally lower in cost than many of the cuts we are in the habit of serving. Miss Inez S. Willson, home economist of the National Live Stock and Meat Board, says you will like these sundries if you pre pare them the following ways: Boiled Heart with Raisins and Rice 1 heart. 1 • 6 cups water 3-4%:up rice. 1 teaspoon salt. 3-4 cup raisins. I- 2 cup walnuts. II- 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 1-4 teaspoon pepper. Wash heart, remove tubes, and gristle, cover with boiling water, boil ten minutes, and cook in fire less cooker or on top of stove for • about three hours or until tender. Add washed rice, salt and‘pepper, and cook thirty minutes.' Drain liquor from rice, add raisins seed- :cd, nuts cut in pieces, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and bring to boiling point. Place heart in center of platter, surround with cooked rice, pour the nuts and raisins over the heart and garnish with parsley. Scrambled Brains. 1 set brains. 4 hard-cooked eggs, minCed. 1-4 cup fat. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablepspons tomato catsup. - 1 teaspoon salt. . 2 eggs, beatenr- r 1-4 teaspoon pepper. 1930’S LOW PRICES BRING GOODYEARS WITHIN REACH OF ALL We now sell Goodyears for little more than the cheapest makes.
