CL aa second class matter under Act e March 4, 1879. MONDAY, JUNE 18, 19S4 0 Twi^M«»roa The propoeed inveshigation^ the mid- dtoman’s profits cai farm products is in tended to get At ^e facts ^ut the wide difference betwemi the price the fanner his produce for and the pi.oe the ultimate cmMumer pays. ' Unfortunately, both the producer and tte consumer have been in a fiid plij^it. Die fanner gets too little for his and hard^ any of those engaged in the;' igricultural business are making ends meet. On the other hand, there is tiie consumer who is barely able to scrape up enemgh money to keep body and soul to gether because of the high prices he has to pay. In this connection, we are speaking gen erally, not specifically. Grocery prices here are not as high as in many places. The point is, the increase in the price of farm produce has been so large that it has prevented greater consumption which would prove a boon to tillers of the soil. i i This is not to say that the middleman is Twalfing an exhorbitant profit. He may be selling on the smallest margin consis tent with good business. Many of them are. The truth is that many grocery stores and merchants in other lines went broke trying to cut under the other fel low. But the Senate’s proposed investiga tion, if made, should help to arrive at the facts. There is something wrong with the system of distribution when there is such a wide difference in the prices. It should be remedied just as an economic system which permits people to go hungry with granaries and smokehouses bursting with bread and meat should be remedied. Souwbody aaks what has become of miniature What was it. anyhow?—Detroit Free The U. S. Pogition Secretary of State Cordell Hull’s note to Great Mtain was a pointed reminder that the United States expects payment of war debts incurred by European na- tknis. ’ He asserted that the United Sthtes did aot make its loan to Great Britain con- tfngent upon what some other nation owes Great Britain. That is a fact which the British government should not fail to realize. Practically all nations defaulted Friday. At'the same time they claimed they were unable to meet these just obligations. Why? Of course, their notes did not answer this question. Yet the reason is obvious. The Journal-Patriot takes the posi tion that as long as European nations con tinue their heavy expenditxxres for arma ments, not a single concession in the amount of their debts should be made. Diey can spend hundreds of millions on arming themselves, but throw up their bands in horror when they are asked to pay up. A New Champion Max Baer is the new heavyweight box ing champion of the world. He was so crowned after giving his Italian opponent a terrible licking. But Primo Camera’s Italian brothers and his backers all over the world have nothing of which to be ashamed. He proved that he is a game fellow. He just wouldn’t stay down. Many of us could learn a lesson from Camera’s example. Usually the first ad verse criticism or financial blow sends us down for the count and we’re out. We always admire a man who can take a hard blow and then come back for more. He’s the fellow that deserves to win if he doesn’t. He may lose occasionally, but the percentage is in his favor. Getting back to boxing, the Baer-Car- nera match was a beauty from the stand point of boxing fans and a few more bouts like that will bring the fighting game back, to its pristine glory. You may have notic ed that it has been in a rather sad plight since Tex Rickard passed from the picture and Dempsey’s legs gave way under him. Helpful Criticism Several months ago, our good friend, Attorney Ira T. Johnston, of Jefferson, in an address here voiced the opinion that there should always be two parties, but that the alignment should be on the basis of conseiwative and progressive. The conservative party, he said, is needed to keep the liberals or progressives from going too far. Likewise the liberals are needed to shove the conservatives along and prevent a halt in the march of prog ress. '' Republicans have naturally been ohilded for their criticism of the present adminis tration. Yet even the most ardent sup porters of the New Deal admit that the criticisms have been helpful. Walter Lippman, one of the administra tion’s greatest admirers, makes this ad mission. He says “it has been a public benefit to have an opposition which could make itself so effective.” The Republicans, of course, cannot be blamed for their efforts to make a case against the Roosevelt regime. The Demo- crats, they recaD, started out on Hoover almost before he got the President's chair . warmed and they made such a case that distinguished Califomian was sent f back home under the most smashing defeat r in the history of tlie country. ■ But all this is neither here nor there. The rtatement made by Lippman, the bril- .liant commentator, is cited as p^f of lir. Johnsttm’s omtention that the two- i ^party system has decided benefits in that ^‘; one party serves as a brake to the other vhva it is indiped to go too far. ... ■ Borrowed Comment A NEW DEAL IN COURT PROCEDURE (Winston-Salem Journal) While the American public has been attracted and engrossed in other phases of the New Deal, a development of outstanding importance in the department of the judiciary has been allowed to pass almost unnoticed. A few days ago President Roosevelt signed what has been termed by David Lawrence as “one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of the United States.” Under its terms the Supreme Court is provided with au thority to establish uniform rules of procedure for all the inferior federal courts in the coun- try. The passage of this legislation brings to rea lization a dream of the past twenty-five years, and remarkably enough. Attorney General Cum mings was able to engineer it through congress within three months, although similar acts had been brought up during several previous ad ministrations only to be sidetracked. The plan comprehended in the statute had been endorsed by Presidents Wilson, Taft and Coolidge, and by several attorneys general and other leading court authorities. By virtue of the new law. the Supreme Court will be enabled to clarify the present rules of procedure, and estabh'sh simple and uniform regulation designed to facilitate the operation of the federal courts, thereby reducing the “law’s delay” to a minimum. It is anticipated that the state courts will take steps to make their meth ods of procedure coincide with those followed in the federal tribunals, and if this is done a sys tem of uniform procedure will presently develop for all courts throughout the entire United States. It follows that the new federal statute is of far-reaching significance in that it presages the gearing of American court machinery to the needs of the new day. Although unheralded and unsung, this accomplishment will stand near the top of the list in the schedule of achievements credited to the Roosevelt administration. (Morganton News-Herald) We like the way in which Robert Quillen likens a newspaper to a .scorekeeper at a ball game. Just as it Is the score man’s duty to re cord faithfully the “hits, runs and errors” of the players, so it is the newspaper’s job to give a record of the game of life, its success (home runs, it you please) and its errors. Editor Quillen, who has become famous for his philosophical writings, has the following to say in this connection, even though he voluntarily admits The Tribune is not a news paper; “The Tribune isn’t a newspaper, but it does print items of local news that are of interest to its subscribers. This is its business. It you beat your wife or kill your mother-in-law or have a fight with a neighbor, I record the fact as it is reported to me. And there my interest ends. I do not take sides. The fact that I print the story does not indicate that I am a partisan. I am merely a scorekeeper, making a record of hits and runs. Whether you win or lose, hate or love, doesn’t Interest me. Your business is your business, not mine. I’m not your judge or your defender. If you burn your house for the Insurance, my report of the mat ter isn’t an accusation of wrong-doing. I’m merely stating facts. The feeling that you are being accused and condemned comes from your conscience.” Henry Ford says that the depression is “a thing of the past.” That’s certainly too. bad— disappearing Just as we had begun to get used to it,—St. Joseph News-Press.

This clash of the 268-pound ring mastodon and the 210-pound Cali fornia bone crusher was one t^t would have drawn ancient hairy cave people out of their hovels and sent them home jabbering and ges- ticnlating, their blood lusts satis fied. It did that tonight for a crowd of 66,000 modems, who paid ap proximately 1460,000 for the enter tainment, the largest gate since the first Sharkey-Schmeling bout in 1930.

Only those cockerels In robust health should be selected for the pur pose, says Roy S. Dearstyne, bead of .the poultry department kt State College. The cockerel should weigh at least 1 1-2 or 2 pounds, and be dewormed about a week before the operation. Such birds recover quickly and gain rapidly after wards. Mr. Dearstyne suggests that the birds be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the operation in order to clean the Intestines.

C. r r—■ Bulletin No. 290 of the N. C. Experiment Station, which will he sent upon request. For several days after the operation, Water and soft feeds should be given and the birds kept quiet so the wound can heal. During the first few post- operation days the birds should hare the a'mount of mash they can eat in 15 minutes in the morning. In the evening the feed should be equal parts of cracked corn and wheat, as much as the birds will eat in 15 minutes. Two Killed In Wreck Lexington, June 9.—Five per sons wer© injured, two fatally, when two automobiles crashed on highway No. ^9 four miles northeast of here, today. Those killed were Rev. J. F. Moser, 64, pastor of the Main Street Meth^ist church of High Point, and Hinton Griffin, 30, of Washington, D. C., a theatre employe. Both died this afternoon sev eral hours after the collision. Griffin was alone in his car, en route to Washington. Catawba county sweet potato growers sold their cured sweets at good prices this spring and are preparing for an increased acreage this season. A new storage house is being comstmeted at Startown. Read Journal-Patriot ads.
