LAST CHANCE FOR "OUTSIDERS" The Association will accept no new members after opening day in Central North Carolina. Outsiders in the Old Belt markets, which are listed above, have until September 17 to sign up, because of previous announcement that these Old Belt markets would not open until September 16.

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT North Dokota'g flour mill and elo ?ator project lost (627,362.82 during the eleven montha It had been In oper atlon up to July 1. The I oh (or June alone was $60, 711.12 and the mill haa actually lost 87 cents on every barrel of flour pro duced. This condition exist* In spite of the tact that the mill Is being operated at capacity In order to create a greater output and In an effort! to put It on a paying basis. It Is the old story repeated. Public ownership has been proved a failure, yet there are still men. who advocate that It Is an Improvement over prt vately owned ladustres. Efficiency la sacrificed for the sake of lower operating coots and the tine hand of politics works ltfc way In to the detriment of (ha business. The trio test of any l>?alnees Is efficiency in management and when that to loot tlf rough politics con troll ing the Job*. There Is no how P* earning ? legitimate profit. In some states whore the goverfi-. MOnt ownership forces are seeking to gain the upper hand, executives of targe corporations have been assailed* Mcause of the large salaries they re vive.

Prvately owned business looks for the best, not the cheapest and public ownership proponents seek the cheap est regardless of fitness for the po sition, because that is the only argu ment they have. States that have tried public own ership of utilities should, be a lesson for every state that contemplates such an Experiment. Mid Western Crops One fourth of the wealth of the whole United States is situated in five mid-western states ? Illinois, In diana. Iowa, Michigan and Wiscon^ sin. Middle-west crops are above the average. Prices are still high. The world grain crop, is reported to be short. Here is a combination of circum stances that can mean nothing but prosperity. The wealth of the middle-west is largely confined to products of the soil. The weather started the growing season poorly, but made amends later and ihe soil has produced lavishly. The American farmer should be looking Into the future with optimism. And he should be joined by all other business men, because Just as the depression in agriculture has made itself felt in every line, so will the Improvement be reflected in every field of business enterprise. The great trouble with these radio marriages is tfrie danger of not having the same wave length.
