sot. PRESSLY IN
CHAPEL.
On Wednesday we had an oppor
tunity again of listening to Mr.
Pressly our A. R. 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.

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.

The High Cost
Of Government
(A. C. L. Ry., Bulletin.)
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.”

Meat Sundries
For More Variety
Some of us are apt to complain
of the sameness of our meals,
when, as a matter of fact, the rea
son is that we are not availing qur-
selves of the great variety of meats
which perhaps we would be more
likely to serve if we only knew how
to use them to advantage. 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.
