March 8rd ? times . i %ed .tksjs ?r J- Parker ?r Tke self-sty led "Grand Old Party," Republican, is sinking rapidly into the hole it haa made for itaelf, in its dealing with bonus legislation. Every pre-election promise to deal honestly and justly with the ex-aeftice men has been renounced; and, if the Re publican Party ever really intended to be fair with the service men, its in tentions in that direction have been warped and twisted to such an extent as to create suspicion among the ben eficiaries oft be-proposed bonus leg islation. Not one single act has been accomplished by members of the Republican party in Congress that will ever justify the party bidding for the votes of these men who helped ?j hu'-make the world safe ^>r Oemoc - ty. It* j vote bidders; and led many votes to I the alter of deception in November 1920. First, Republican lawmakers ac cepted and abided by the mandete of "Chief" Harding, who advised delay in appropriating bonus ifioney. The delay was philosophically ac cepted by the former wearers of the uniform. But neither by philsophy, or prom ises, nor by any deceptive method can the majority members of Con gress absolve themselves, nor explain away their lack of definite action in making adequate provision for the re turned soldiers and sailors. Plan after plan has been triumph ally brought forward and more swiftly than it came was suddenly discarded as impracticable. Even the dullest mind has already seen through the real purpose and> intent of the Republican party, whose sole reason for a continued and steady stream of empty and meaningless promises is I t? keep the former army and navy I boys .in an expectant attitude, that they may be rounded up as G. O. P | voters in the fall of 1922. The attitude of big business con cerns the Republican party vastly toore than the welfare of their form er defender. The whole truth of the matter is that the majority does not want to offend the moneyed class by forcing them to come across with a share of their excess profits for the average poor service man. WE'RE NOT SO BAD, AT THAT . Latter day developments are indi cative of a general house-cleaning around this young but staid town? Ahoskie. "Truth crushed to the earth will rise again"'was never bet ter exemplified than by the recent action of Hertford County Superior Court, both the presiding judge and jury having a part in it. They have said, by the greater weight of the testimony, that none of Ahoskie's most admired citisens was not guilty ,of either assault or a conspiracy. The latter charge was taken care of by his Honor, the Judge, while the jury of twelve peers absolved the in dicted citizen from any part in an assault. Similar conspiracy charges were thrown out, against two other well known citizens of the town, all of which was precisely as it should be. It is not my part to argue this dis graceful case; the time for argument has passed. However, through the columns of the Herald, I do want to proclaim to the world the fact that not all the peiple of Ahoskie are as black In deeds as some would have them appear. J, ROY PARKER 0 ? - * * THE OUTLET ? ? e ?????*??? * * The new Postmaster General is named Works. The question is; will he? It -would seem that it would nf quire a lot of muscle to land the 1 Shoals. Blessed is the day whose lowly set ting sun finds no new form of taxa tion begum Life's just one thing after another. Before father's pocketbook recovers from Christmas the Easter bonnet must be bought Another year of Harding norjnalcy, and the whole country will be praying for Wilson hard times. A California college professor has predicted that women wilL rule the country by 1977. There has been a general impression that fiiey might assume charge about Mtf years be fore that date. While the small town merchant is "resting on his oars," waiting for business to pick up, the merchants in the cities are going after the busi ness in the modem, sane way, by ad vertising. And they are. getting it, too. Local merchants might take e tip, and make business come thei' way, if only they had the "git-up-an-' git" about them to do a little advei tiring, and get the business in, i thoToughly business-like manner.

' (Frsparsd by tfcs United Stntnn Oipsrtrutit of Asricultttra) Mauiy of the ditneuttiea and- biases rlsed when making sales to see that all terms are clear and practicable aud that both seller and buyer have the same understanding of them. This can be accomplished by observing the following suggestions by the bureau of markets und crop estimates, United States Department of Agriculture: State clearly In al{ otters or accept ances all necessary fuctors, Including quality aud quantity of hay,,together with time of shipment, routing, rates, price and terms of payment. Confirm all sales and purchases by letter, In which is stated all terms as> understood by the seller or the buyer, us the case may be. Upon receipt of confirmation, cor rect immediately any item8 thai ap IH-ar to be Incorrect. Make Terms Clear. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the matter of care in stat ing terms wben making sales or pur chases. A greater part of such trans actions are usually by telephone or telegraph which makes brevity neces sary. , A tew more cents spent In teie plioue or telegraph charges, however, is better than Several dollars lost on au unsatisfactory shipment, on the iwrt of the shipper, therefore, when offering bay for sale, whether the offer is by wire or letter, the following should be stated: (a) Quantity by bales, tons, or car loads. If by balls, the slse should al ways be given, and If by tons or car loads, It Is well also to state the size of bales that will be shipped, as there is a decided preference in certain sec tions for certain types and slsea of bales. (b) Quality, either in descriptive terms or In the terms of state or com mercial grades. When commercial grades are used It must be made cer tain that both buyer and seller under stand what standards are being used. It Is sometimes advisable to stato what inspection agency Is to deter-! mine the grade. (c) The time of shipment should be specified either by naming the ex act date on or before which shipment i n Hauifng Hay to Railroad Station. will be tnajle, or by using the trade terms of "immediate," "quick," or "prompt," which are given the follow ing interpretation t "Immediate" or "rush" Is shipment within three calen dar days, "quick" Are calendar days, and "prompt" ten calendar days, Sun days and holidays excluded in eacli Instance. (d) The routing which can be made by the shipper, or that which la de sired by the bnyer, should be made In the first bid or offer, as it is an impor tant item and, together with the rates applying, may be the determining fac tor In the transaction. Instead of stating the rate, the point at which the price appllea may be given, such as 'f. o. b. shipper's track" or "deliv ered buyer's station." (e) The price should be stated clear ly and it should also be made clagr for what length of time the bid or offer holds good and whether or not tha ac ceptance of either ia subject to esn flrotation by the maker. SSnd Confirmation Promptly. When a bid or offer has been accept ed and a tale consummated, whether by letter or wire, a confirmation b> letter, setting forth in detail all the terms and conditions of the trapenc tion, should be mailed by each party to the other. H, upon receipt of these confirmations, either party notes uny i item that is contrary to his under standing of the terms he should notify the other immediately by telegraph, s< that ail errors mky be correctOd lie fore a shipment ia Hade.
