Those loans must, of course, be repaid and every farmer VihS. can get along without them is helping himself. " ^—— 1 Of coyrsej no one would a^ise a fam- ’«r hot to hOcept the loan if by so doing he can make a better crop and increase his income therefrom. But freedom from #ebt and the knowledge that what is made on the farm can be stored in the granary are worth working toward. County Agent Hendren is wise in ad vising against any loan which is not abso lutely necessary. Thomas Jefferson Last Thursday, we celebrated the 190th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jef ferson, author of the Declaration o*E In- Mother of Fanaoui Mrt*‘'^b«ce« iDoughton, s»4her Jai Cpttgreabnan R. L. Doughton and “Gov ernor” R. A. Doughton, who celebrated her 94th birthday a few days ago at her home at' Laurel Spring^; has the honor of living to see the day when two of her sons are famous in the life of the state and nation. ' A beautiful tribute to Mrs. Doughton appeared in the Raleigh News and Ob server the day following her birthday. To this tribute we add that we hope this de-. lightful old lady under whose direction two boys grew to vigorous manhood and then'entered the service of their county, state and nation, will live to see several more birthdays. The editorial tribute in the News and Observer follows: “Yesterday the legislature adjourned in honor of an old lady in Laurel Springs. She was 94 years old, which Was in itself an achievement, bnt her reason for being proud was more fundamental than that. “The lady was Mrs, Rebecca Doughten. One of her sons, Congressmaii R. L. Doughton, is h^d of the powerful way? and £neaj|is committee of the Uglted Sti^tes house 6f represeiltutl'ves, was in Washing-j ton laboring with the shaping of the fiscal policies of the nation upon which depend President Roosevelt’s plans for reconstruc tion. The other, Representative R. A. Doughton, was in Raleigh, where as head of the important finance committee of the North Carolina house of representatives, he was busy with the financial future of North Carolina. “Few ladies live so long as Mrs. Dough ton, and fewer still live to see her sons at tain such s uccess as Mrs. Doughton's sons | have attainecl. More remarkable thanj that , it is unlikely that any mother ever! saw her two sons bearing at the same time the responsibilities for shaping the fi nances of their .state and their nation. “The adjournment yesterday by the house in honor of Mrs. Doughton was a ij: m BY THE WAYSIDE ■ - ROOSEVELT MOVES TO AFFORD REUEF FROM MpRTGAQES YOfflirO After we h4v« iwtiiched the orforty-ftve or fifty even, we are Inclln^ to think we can Ijsok ' forward 'to no" jre|it.er fc^ashington.; April 13.—Re^f ■forjthe "whlti c^ar” hmui was growth.^ We think that‘ “hold our own” through the fifties we have done well, then we start on the downward rush to the sixties and as we express it, “old age.” I The difference between yodlh and old age is that youth is con stantly looking forward . .

This lessens the evil; while fret ting and fuming only serve to increase your own torments” The fact that a majority of the Ameri can people have taken this attitude to ward the economic depre.ssion during the past three years has been the .steadying influence in our national life. If all of us could have resolved from the first to make the be.st of the, conditions, we would have been farther advanced in our .steps toward recovery.

Would Be Poor Economy Pre.ssure has been brought to bear upon Budget Director Douglass to di.scontinue federal support of agricultural extension work and experiment station re-seare.h in the various .states. This is not a part of the Roosevelt economy pro,gram and the pressure seems to come from .sources that are not entirely familiar with the excellent work which has been accomplished through the federal aid to these agencies. North Carolina would have to abandon county agent work and the extension di vision of State College if this course should be taken. Under the present plan, this work is carried on with federal and .state funds and in the case of county agents, these are supplemented with county funds. State funds could not bear the load. It seems to us that it would be poor economy to stop aiding agriculture through the advice and counsel of the extension ' division. If there is any time that farm ers need encouragement, need supervision and counsel, it seems to us that it is in these times. If the influences which have been at work upon the director of the budget are sucecssful, gone will be the services of the county agent, the splendid farm articles prepared by the extension division and the research work which is done with a view to putting into practices better farming methods.

Let us begin by asking why he was so success ful in mastering public attention and ^hy, in contrast, his churches are less so? The answer is twofold- In the first p’ace he recognized the basic principles that all good advertising is news. He was never trite or commonplace; he had no routine. If there had been newspapers in those days, no city editor could have said, “No need to- visit him today; he will be doing lust what he did last Sunday.” Reporters would have fiillowed him every single hour, for it was impossible to predict what he would say or do; every action and word were news. I repeat- Jesus had no routine. He was never trite or commonplace.

Being an exceedingly proud prince this caused him a groat deal of menUl distress. He bad his most skillful sculptor to make a noble statue of himself, true in every detail, with the one excep tion ... the statue must he made with a straight back. He desired to see himself as he might have been. Many months the sculptor worked, hewing the marble care fully into the likeness of the prince, and at last the work was done, and the sculptor went to the prince and said: "The statue is finished: where shall I set it up?” .Said one of the courtiers "Set it before the castle gate where all can see it.” Smiling sadly, the prince shook his head. “Place it In a secret nook in the palace garden where only I shall see it” he said.” The statue was placed where the prince had or dered it. and straightway for gotten by the world; but morn ing. noon and evening the prince stole quietly to where It stood and looked long upon it. noting the straight back and the uplift ed head and the noble brow, and as he looked, something each lime seemed to go out of the statue into him, tingling in his blood and throbbing in his heart. Days passed into months, and then into years, and strange rumors began to spread through out the kingdom. "The prince's back is no longer crooked, or mine eyes deceive me,” said one. Said another, “The prince is more noble-looking or mine eyes deceive me.” Yet another said “Our prince has the high look of a mighty man.” These rumors came to the prince and he listen ed with a queer smile. He went out to his garden and stood be fore the statute, and it was Just as the people had said. His hack had become straight, his head had the same noble bearing; he was in fact, the noble man his statue proclaimed him to be. Strange? No! He had before him daily the image of what he would like to 'be, and keeping that Ima.ge in mind constantly, he unconsciously grew to be like the image. All of which goes to prove that we can be wnatever we desire to be. if the desire is strong enough, and we are will ing to work hard enough. Nothing will keep us young like good hard work! We some times hear someone aay "He is working himself to death.” It is not the work that kills us. It is the way in which we do the work! Work with our heads, with our hands, with our hearts, (yes; and a very great deal of heart too) and with our health. IWlth our health? Certainly, with our health! 'For If we do not have health, our brain is In no condition to do clear thinking, and therefore we could not work with our heads, for It takes clear thinking to accomplish any thing worthwhile. There are a very large number of people In this world whom the depression does not bother at all . . . never think about depression . . . they are so busy working the four H’s that they do not have time to bother with depression. Even In keeping our youth, mental attitude is- more than half the battle, since, as we think, so we are. And we all have the "fountain of youth” within ourselves. as a guaranty of social and econo mic stability and that to protect home owners from inequitable enforced liquidation in a time of general distress, is a proper con cern of the government.” Parents Barricade Their Home Against Doctor Who Seeks to Care For Child New York, April 14.—With tinrhers braced against all the doors, and with boiling water at {land to pour over anyone who might seek entrance, an immi grant couple barricaded them selves In their suburban home today, determined that an opera tion to save the life of an infant daughter should not be perform ed. Neither John Vasco, $15-a- week laborer, nor his hysterical wife could be made to understand that the physician who stood out- .slde was not calling to see two- year-old Helen Vasco, who has a malignant tumor of the eye which threatens her life. .Terror had seized the misun derstanding Vascos, and they only shook their heads with grim de termination when it was ex plained that the doctor was there to attend Helen’s twin-sister, Anna, who became suddenly ill last night and developed a tem- IttOCt Let us put your car in first class condition for the long driv&s you are going to make this spring and sum mer ...

As the physician Dr, Michael Bender, gave up hla attempt to gain entrance and police said they would take no hand In the case for the time being, a neigh bor told how Mrs. Vasco had placed her twin daughters In a small room and had locked the door. Maybe it was the sight of a policeman Dr. Bender had brought with him that, terrified husband and wife. Maybe it was the crowd of neighbors that gathered. Or maybe it was that it was all Just a ruse to get Helen and take her to a hospital—and perhaps remove one of the pretty young ster’s eyes.
