They are divine laws in the same sense that the law of gravity is a law of God. Such laws were in force long before the first man-made statute was ever written, and no natural law was ever repealed by act of parliament. Natural laws can be broken but they all carry within themselves suitable penalties for violation; hard to escape. Under natural law, every producer earns a profit when he serves the public well; takes a loss when he serves the public poorly. When manipulators, government planners or any other kind, use artificial price controls, they violate natural law. It makes no difference whether the aim is greed or to protect "lame ducks" from loss. Price controls en courage incompetence. Wheat Price Parity Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, recently told an audi ence of wheat growers in St. Paul that U. S. production last year was 1100 million bushels compared to 800 million in a typical prewar year. This is deemed to forecast a post war over-production of 180 million i bushels or more a year. There is a law compelling government to hold up wheat prices for two years after the war. i Taxpayers may as well brace themselves. It is time to start won dering what it's going to cost per bushel to prop up the wheat price aad hold it at parity; or what bonus per acre must be paid to non-grow- 1 era of wheat for no* growing wheat. Another wonder: Can the price sup port be removed after two years or must the taxpayers continue guaran fist. / I I ^mjl l^MI ? /TWjotlce is hereby giveq to all who have contracted to send wagons and teams Tg O Jfl fl I fjor single horses from Toik County to the Any at Villa Croak,.that David B-- / J ? /, tf M.

B. FRANXLTW. Jfl BEN FKANKLIN, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, sa May (, 1TM, canned to be written what Is termed the CO a try's first war lean advertisement. Franklin warned Ma readers against Inflationary prices lest they "hinder the Bine's Service," a lessen still feed la the Mighty Seventh War lean The document was written In German as wen as English Sapertmpesed an the erigtaal are the wards ased by Franklin. This was a lean et materials aad net at dollars. w teeing a wheat price indefinitely? Observe Natural Law There is an honorable way: Leave each industry's problem (or men of that industry to solve. Using wheat as an example, permit the Department of Agriculture to pre pare such data as Mr. Wickard gave the farmers and make the figures available to the whole in dustry. Let the farmers use their own judgment in the light of the facts. They will do a better job than government men, and it will not cost the taxpayers anything. One advantage is obvious: Men of an industry can consider an industrial problem unblinded by a dust storm of political considera tions. Government's proper func tion is to serve the citizens. Govern ment can get statistics more con veniently than an organization of business men, and government ex perts undoubtedly can olTer valuable interpretations, but interference is not halp. Men Can Think Business men can understand government figures, interpret them and apply what they have learned. Figures from the Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau have benefited many industries in the past, interpreted by statisticians in the employ of trade associations. If wheat is over-produced one year, ? bread will be cheap. The next year, ! wheat men can plan more cau tiously. What did the cotton subsidy do but open the gate for rayon to storm ! the cotton planter's market? A fic- ! titlous wheat price can only bring that industry some similar calamity. It is bad enough to have loyal citi zens taxed without mercy to build a false price structure; worse when you know that the result will be to lift a big essential industry off its economic foundation and perma nently cripple it. In County Court A resolution calling for con tinued effort of (the citizens of this community in rededicating themselves in the defeat of Ja pan, was passed by the general county court committee on reso lutions Monday following the V-E Day announcement. Only five cases were heard, they were as follows; Alex Ray, driving after his li-! cense was revoked; prayer for judgment continued, $15 and cost. J. W.

Shoffner, non-support of illegal child; ordered by court to pay $250 settlement to the prose cuting witness for the benefit of the child and cost. At Service Center TJie Home Demonstration club of Bethany community, with Mrs. Lacy Cheek in charge of arrangements, was hostess at the Service Men's center during the week-end. There were six overnight guests and nine for breakfast on Sunday morning which was served by Reed Cheek and W. L. White. The service men were from Camp Butner, Cherry Point and )uke university; six states were ?epresented. During the week-end the regu lar donations of coffee, bread, ice ir/1 milk were made in addition to the many corttrfcutions from he hostess group. Ocean Water There are six kinds of water in the North Pacific ocean, says Dr. H. U. Sverdrup, director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. To be sure, they are all salt sea water, but there are distinct and recogniz able differences in both saltiness and temperature, according to location and depth. Over the bottom of the whole ocean, below a depth of 5,000 to 6,000 feet, lies a mass of water that 1 is a little saltier than the rest of 1 the ocean, as well as a good deal colder; it always hovers only a few i degrees above freezing point. Above this, the ocean is divided into five great blocks or segments: subarc- , tic, equatorial, intermediate, east ern and western, respectively. Each 1 has its own characteristic range of temperature and salinity. , _ 1 " % Treat Potatoes Many Irish seed potatoes set aside for spring planting are infected with fungus diseases that cut down stand. Injure the roots, cripple the potatoes, and reduce yields. Or ganisms that cause common black scurf or rhizoctonia and under cer tain conditions common scale and black leg, usually can be controlled by treating afflicted seed with for maldehyde. While seed potatoes are usually treated Just before planting, the work may be done with equal success at any time in the winter or spring, provided the potatoes are dried properly or are not reinfected by storing in old containers or bins which have not been disinfected. It is in fact an advantage to treat potatoes some time in advance of planting so that if the sprouts are injured, new ones may form.
