Aluminum and land ethics in the era of progress
A broad editorial notes aluminum’s rise from curiosity at the 1876 centennial to wide use in aviation and auto bodies, arguing lighter cars save fuel and promote cheaper ownership. It then discusses land ownership as a safeguard for national future, urging individual ownership over corporate holdings and warning of future conflicts. The piece ends with a call to Farmers Institute in Boone and a message from County Superintendent Smith Hagaman about teacher participation and civic duty.
