Build Up that
Skinny Child!
Enrich His Impoverished
Blood
Sickly, weak, underweight children
are usually lacking in rich, red blood.
When blood becomes poor, a child be
comes rundowm. Already weak, he
lose 3 appetite, which makes him still
weaker. Take no chances on a child
gaining strength by himself. Start
giving him Grove’s Tasteless Chill
Tonic right away. This famous tonic
contains both iron and tasteless
quinine. Iron makes for rich, red
blood while quinine tends to purify
the blood. In other words, you get
two effects in Grove’s Tasteless Chill
Tone.
Put your child on this time-proven
tonic for a few days and see the dif
ference it makes in him. Good ap

roses in his cheeks. Children like
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic and take
it eagerly. It is absolutely harmless

ghat’s What-at a Glar\fg,
pj||[lWA^HI NOTON ft~~W6RL.P'*~ISf jy
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, July 20.—T0 anyone
who has been trying for the last four
or five months to make orthodox
logic out of the Roosevelt adminis
tration's collective activities, the mov
ing panorama of a whole flock of
kaleidoscopes would seem to have co
herency and predictability.'
This is not to imply that the ad
ministration’s system is injudiciously
erratic or basically thoughtless.
A swimmer, struggling to escape be
ing sucked over Niagara Falls, scarce
ly would be criticized for experiment
ing in rapid succession with the breast
stroke, the overarm, the trudgeon, the
Australian crawly or anyr.o?ther : style
that inight occur to-'him at^'likely i-o
prove serviceable in the emergency.
Nevertheless, the general tiffeat of his
performance would not be likely t 0
lend itself to scientific description.
The defect in all chronicles, to date,
of the administration’s effort to kick
and thrash away out of the depres
sion into the safe waters/<t>f prosper
ity is that the writers insist upon re
cognizing a well-considered program.
Nothing is surer than that there
is no such thing.
There is an essential purpose. The
details of ;ts accomplishments are be
ing made up on the spur of the mo
ment —that is, of moment after mo
ment.
HUMAN NATURE.
One of the most difficult things the
administration finds to overcome in
its revival campaign is human na
ture. It evolves a plan that prom
ises immediate improvement if selfish
interests will not take unfair advan
tage of it. But they do, invariably.
FATAL FLAWS?
A certain type of critic appears to
feel that he has discovered a fatal
flaw in any economic suggestion if
he can point out that it has been tried
out aforetime—maybe in the middle
ages or in ancient Egypt or in semi
prehistoric Babylonia. The question
how it worked never seems to enter
into his calculations.
Goes to Roads In
Theft of Cattle
Tom Hopkins, colored man of
Townsville township, apparently
wished to ride in an automobile of
his own. He didn't have the money,
so he proceeded to get goods in
kind. He took a cow and a calf
from his stepfather. Jack Taylor,
and carried them to Oxford, where
ho traded them off for the auto
mobile he so much wanted. He
took the automobile and started
for home, but the automobile broke
down before he got very far with
it.
The law stepped in and took
charge of him, and he was given
a hearing today before Recorder
R. E. Clements in county court,
and was sent to the roads for six
months. And Tom gets no ride at
that.
BANK RESOLUTIONS
ON LATE MR. PARKER
Committee Named by Ffrst National
To Draw Pnoper Papers As Re
sult of His Death
At the regular monthly meeting of
the board of directors of the First
National Bank, held yesterday after
noon at the bank, a committee con
sisting of Colonel Henry Perry, L. R.
Gooch and R. G. S.. Davis was nam
ed to draw up suitable resolutions of
respect on the death of the late W.
Scott Parker, 83-year-old president of
the bank, who died suddenly last Fri
day at his summer cottage at More
head City.
No action was taken at that meet
ing looking toward the election of a
successor to Mr. Parker either as
president or director of the bank. He
wa3 a large stockholder in the in
stitution and had been president since
tlhe bank was reorganized and re
opened last fall after having closed
December 31, 1931.

9 Cleveland, 0., July 20.—1 ti s not
r Newiton D. Baker who is the “big”
c Democrat of Cleveland and Ohio any
- more. There is an up and coming con
• gressman, Martin L. Sweeney, who
E is stirring up things. He is out to
■ become mayor of Cleveland in opposi
tion to the present organization mayor
■ Ray Miller. Ohio organization Demo
r crats never did switch over to Itoose
velt. Sweeney was a Roosevelt
booster. 1
s • The Cleveland bank scahdAJs, ; with
organization Republicans and Demo
: crats involved, have giVen Sweerley a
i toe-hold. In addition, weakness of
i the state administration in'.evolving
' equ.tablA taxation, hnd poor adminis
tration of municipal affairs in Cleve
land make it appears as if those? who
i who did not support the Roosevelt
candidacy will pass on to oblivion.
Whether Sweeney, tying himself to
the Roosevelt kite, will be a stronger
figure than the present incumbent
remains to be seen.
CAR SHORTAGE?
Now there’s talk of a railroad
freight car shortage. If so, the rail
road equipment companies which Wil
liam H. Woodin headed prior to be
coming secretary of the treasury pro
bably will be the greatest gainer
being the most powerful companies.
BEST BUSINESS?
It is difficult to exactly pick the
best business in these uproarious times
Yet the glass business, the making
of bottles and glasses and containers
•seems to be the busiest.
MELLON
Members of a Pennsylvania state
commission investigating alleged
sweatshops conditions in the Pitts
burgh district had a wrangle as to
whether the name of Andrew W. Mel
lon should be brought into the rec
ord. Mellon’s name did not go into
the record —immediately. But news
papers did not hesitate to use it.
Employes of an aluminum company
in which Mellon holds the controll
ing interest had testified on pay.

Police said Edwards was wanted as
the ring leader of a gang—most of
the members of which are now un

a series of box car and wholesale
house robberies in this section of the
State. Officers said more than a
dozen warrants in connection w.th the
thievery were out for Edwards’ ar

Daughtridge could not identify any

Four different schedules for levy

period is regarded as something of an
achievement. The actual expendi
tures from the appropriation of $8,3,-
700 made for the last year were only
£521,609. The prison even turned buck
£0,477 from its last quarter allotment,
(vhen all allotments were cut an ad
iitional 25 per cent by the Budget
Bureau.
The total cost of food and the' ex
pense of preparing it amounted to
£114,120 last year, the report made
public today shows. In this total is
ncluded the item of $13,274 for sal
ines of stewards who supervise the

3.72 cents per meal, including the cost
of preparation or only about 9 cents

is left out, and only the SIOI,OOO

772,412 worth or about 72 per cent, |
was produced by the State Prison on
its various farms, so that the prison
actually had to purchase only 28 per
cent of the food used.
The total per capita cost of main
taining a prisoner last year, was only
$134 a year, the lowest for many years
If the administration cost of $5.24
is added to this figure, to the yearly
per capita cost per prisoner, including
the cost of administration and every-,
thing else, was only $139.24.
The greatest reduction in cost last
year was in the cost of administra
tion, the report shows, this cost hav
ing been reduced 21.79 per cent. The
reduction in the cost of the prison
camps was 16.56 per cent, of the va
rious prison farms 10 per cent, while
the cost of operating the Central
Prison plant, the most expensive be
muse nonHiroduclJve, twas reduced
1.88 per cent. Last year there were
only three State Prisons in the Unit- |
ed States with a lower per capita op- i
crating cost than the North Carolina j
prison and this year the operating I
cost is far below the average for the
entire country.
The road and quarry camps were
operated at a par capita cost of 37.52
cents per day. in which the largest
factor is the cost of guarding. It costs
more to guard these prisoners, most
of whom are long terihers and con
victed of felonies, than the short term 1 1

way Commission prison camps. Yet
the total per capita cost in the high
way camps was 53 cents per day as
CjompaTed with the 37.52 cents per
day in the State Prison camps. The
cost of maintenance in the State Pri
son camps for highway maintenance
was only 43 cents per day. The cost
of maintaining prisoners on prison
farms was only 33.25 per day, includ
ing the market price of the food rais
ed on the farms. If the food raised on
these farms was not charged in at
current market prices, the figures
would be much smaller.
In no quarter during the past year
did the State Prison use all the funds
allotted to it by the Budget Bureau,
but turned back fully SIOO,OOO from
the allotments during the year.
The whole area, around the Sea of
