The Farm Outlook
The country has been aroused
r ;cent months, as it never has pre-
viously, to the importance that agri-
culture bears to general prosperity.
Public opinion will see to it that some
adequate relief measure is passed.
Constructive aid is needed in the mar-
keting and warehousing of farm pro
ducts in such a way that the farmers
will be assured of getting a fair re-
turn for their labor and receiving their
fair share of the general prosperity
to which their contribution is so great.
\griculture ought now to enter into
an era of prosperity such as it has
never before seen, and this prosper-
ity coming to our 28,000,000 of farm
population must be reflected in gener-
al prosperity.
What is needed to ensure this pros-
perity? John J. Watson, president
i'f the International Agricultural Cor-
poration, is among those who hold
t' .it warehousing is one of the most
in- irtant requirements. A difficulty
( > untered by the farmer is that he
mn .t dump his entire crop on the mar-
kel at one time, whereas the con-
(>uroption of the crop takes place dur-
ii i; tlie entire twelve months of the
yor.r. The Government, says Mr. Wat-
ft should assist farmers or asso-
rt ions of farmers in establishing
\ • ^houses under Government super-
\ ; ,n so thnt the farmer or farm as-
r " Sat ion could properly store or
\ «> ous» their surplus crops, receiv-
iiij. for tha same proper standard
wa ahouse l-eceipts, acceptable as se-
cu- ty for loans, on which the farm-
f j1 Id '•eadily borrow for his imme-
c '■ .» h requirements.

i-ntrol The Axe!
"Forest fires are steadily growing
/orse in this country, and fire preven-
tion is important. But another real
niportant factor in the depradation
of our forests is the axe. Spare the
axe and save the forests.
Out of 822,000,000 acres of virgin
forest only about one-eighth remains
Nowhere in the world is there any-
thing like the kind of timber we need
to take the place of what has been
destroyed. Until the axe is controlled,
there can be no real solution of the
problem. On four-fifths of our forest
land the axe holds unregulated sway.
The National Forests alone are safe.
The axe must be controlled on pri-
vately owned lands—or the future
prosperity of our country is seriously
threatened.

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
The new Governor of New York—
the Empire State—is a small town
product. Franklin D. Roosevelt is
known from one end of the country to
the other as a distinguished lawyer
and an exceptionally frank, honest pol-
itician, Handica> >ed by physical dis-
abilities arising from an illness of in-
fantile paralysis, he has nevertheless
achieved the hijh position he now
holds.
So much in demand was he, be-
cause of his sterling qualities, that no
excuse was take when he was called
upon to run for Governor.. Again
and again Roc vels has been brought
to the fore while seeking retirement
and rest, and has yielded to the wishes
of his compatriots because of an un-
selfish desire to be of service.
Born at Hyde Park, N. J., in 1882,
he was admitted to the bar in 1907.
He was a member of the New York
Senate from 1910 to 1913, when he be-
came assistant Secretary of the Navy,
holding this post until 1920. That
year he was the Democratic nominee
for Vice-President.
He has been active in many public
enterprises, in which he gave such an
example of devotion, efficiency and
capability that he was literally "draft-
ed" as a candidate for Governor.. His
career should be an inspiration to all
small town youths, and to those who
are in any way physically handicapped.

(Press Agent)
TEXAS THE GREAT
At an International Sunday School
Convention, in answer to the roll-call
of States, the reports were verbally
given by the various State chairmen.
When the "Lone Star" State was call-
ed, a brawny specimen of Southern
nanhood stepped out into the aisle,
and with exceeding pride said:—
"We represent the State of Texas.
The first white woman born in Texas
i3 still living—she now has a popula-
tion of over three millions."
There was a pause of bewilderment
for a moment, and then a voice from
the gallery rang out clear and distinct:
—"Send this woman out to Wyoming
—we need her."
"Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the
fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see the craft,
And the dish ran away with the
spoon." —Mother Goose.
When did they see this wonderful
sight?
Was it morning or was it night?
Or was it high and shining noon
When the dish ran away with the
spoon?
Did the cow turn over and over
rake a rabbit chased by Rover?
Or did she make a stiff legged jump
As she came to earth a bump?
Prized is this cow whether young or
old,
Almost worth her weight in gold,
For on the milk she doth daily give,
Men and babes thrive and live.
Without her milk what would they do?
Life would almost be taboo.
May she roam through pastures gay
Eating grass and clover every day.
And giving more milk for babies dear
Endearing herself year by year.
We're happy to know the dish and the
spoon
And the cow that jumped over the
moon.
How far the dish ran we do not know
But not far from the shelf where it
stood in a row
And the gay little dogs that laughed
At the cat and the fiddle and all the
craft.
Helped to keep King Alcohol at bay
Making him sneak out of the way.

Br.Frank Crane Says
(nnUUCiiH '
The Beacon will for some weeks
continue to publish the work of
the late Dr. Frank Crane. Dr.
Crane recently passed away at
Nice, France. Before leaving for
Europe he had prepared a num-
ber of articles in advance.
When a Winstonville woman was
told in Winston County Court to re-

when he asked for the. rent, she asked:

HOW TO PICK A
WIFE
The most important question in the
world for a man to decide is not his at-
titude toward the tariff, or prohibi-
tion, or the income tax, but what man-
ner of woman he is going to live with
all his life. Other questions may come
and go, but this one goes on forever.
To use a term of Bacon's, "It comes
home to men's business and bosoms."
A preacher once came to John Wes-
ley and asked his advice as to whether
ho should marry a certain woman.
'Why ask me?' said Mr. Wesley. "You
have already made up your mind or
you wouldn't have consulted me."
But a few words of counsel may
not come amiss.
1. Marry for love. Any other rea-
He:—"The first time you contradict
me, I'm going to kiss you."
She:—"You are not."
Elsie—"Bruce threatened to kiss
me on the ear!"
Mama—"I hope you told him
couldn't listen to such a thing."

The taxi came to a halt in the mid-
dle of the street.
"What is the matter?" called the
man from the back seat.
"I thought the young lady said
stop," answered the chauffeur.
"Well, she wasn't speaking to you,
was she?"

son, money, fame, convenience, or any-
thing else, is disastrous.
2. Marry some one approximately
of your age. A marriage between
May and December usually does not
turn out well.
3. Marry a healthy woman. It
may be all right to love a sickly wo-
man, you make all sorts of poems to
her eyebrow and cherish her as an
ideal, but, generally, do not marry
her.
4. Do not marry a bad woman to j any. Of course, passion is essential,
reform her, and let no woman marry j but marriage is a matter of every-day
an evil man to reform him. Let the i life.
preachers do that. Marriage is not a
reformatory institution, it is for pleas-
ure.
5. Select a woman with a sense of
humor. If possible find one who is
cheerful. You can overcome almost
anything but perpetual gloom. You
will find that you need, more than
anything else, to be perpetually cheer-
ed. Not that you want a Cheshire
cat, perpetually grinning, but you
want a reasonable amount of cheer.
6. Select a woman with common
sense. This goes farthest in the long
run. Do not select a fool, even if she
has a pretty face. And some fools
are beautiful.
Do not be determined solely by pas-
sion, but use your brain a little, if

Outstanding Chevrolet
of Chevrolet History
Six in the price range of the fourJ
represents -4 years of Development
and over a Million miles of Testing
Never has a new motor car come to
the public more thoroughly proved
in every detail than The Outstanding
Chevrolet of Chevrolet History.
Years ago, the Chevrolet Motor
Company designed and built its
first experimental six-cylinder
motor. This far-sighted step was
taken because Chevrolet engineers
knew that the six-cylinder motor is
inherently the most perfectly
balanced motor — the ideal power
plant to meet the growing public
demand for greater reserve power,
faster getaway and, above all—
smooth, quiet performance.
During the last four years, over a
hundred six-cylinder motors—rep-
resenting every conceivable type—
were built by Chevrolet engineers
and tested on the General Motors
Proving IGround. This constituted
one of the greatest series of tests ever
conducted with any automobile.
From time to time, the experimental
models were torn down for inspec-
tion, redesigning and further testing
— until the present motor was de-
veloped and pronounced correct.
While the new six-cylinder motor
was in process of development, other
Chevrolet engineers were perfecting
other parts of the chassis. And
another great automotive organiza-
tion—the Fisher Body Corporation
—was devoting its gigantic resources
to the creation of the finest,
sturdiest and most beautiful bodies
ever offered on a low-priced
automobile.
As a result, the Outstanding Chev-
rolet offers an order of well-balanced
excellence that is extraordinary in
the low-price field. From every
standpoint—power, speed, smooth-
ness, acceleration and quietness —
its performance is truly amazing. Its
handling ease and roadability are
exceptional. Its economy of oper-
ation is so great that it delivers better
than 20 miles to the gallon of gaso-
line. And its outstanding beauty,
smartness and luxury are exciting
widespread admiration.
You owe it to yourself to see and
inspect this remarkable car. Come
in today!
