HUBBARD Pnblishen SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year Six Months Four Months 60 Out of the State $2.00 per Year BbUred at the post office at North WiUtea- boro, N. C., as second class matter under Act (tf March 4, 1879. MONDAY, SEPT. 11, 19?9 Profiteering When prices jump almost overnight somebody makes sonte money which they did not earn and that is profiteering. The war in Europe is said to be respon sible for the big jump in price of staple food and feed products and the increase is generally thought to be unjustified. The untimate result is that it will retard busi ness to some extent while lining the pock ets of those able to do the profiteering. The articles w’hich now co.sts much more than a week ago w^ere porduced at normal costs which enabled a profit at prices •which prevailed before the jump. The farmer d d not get anymore for the crops from which food products were made and are now selling at from ten to 20 per cent higher. In fact, the farmers have been receiving less for the crops than they did a year ago. This means that those who were in po sition to do so boosted prices to make m.ore profits. Retailers are not responsible. They have only ra'sed prices in accordance with what merchandise co.sts them. The respon.sibi- lity for higher prices goes above and be- yong your merchant. Pre.sident Roosevelt in h s address last Sunday night warned against profiteering jind it is quite probable that the federal government will take a hand if prices ad vance to the point where the consuming public will feel the pinch too keenly. A reasonable increase in prices is justi fied .so long as the farmer and the pro ducer gets his shaie of the increase but a jump too high would result n a decrease in buying with all its affiliated economic ills. Fire Prevention Week Calling all citizens—for Fire Prevent'on Week, which is to be ob.sen^ed this year from October 8 to 14th. Fire Prevention Week marks a definite, intensive effort to save your life and your property from the ravages of fire. It is an intensely personal thing, '.vhich comes straight home to all of us. Insurance organizations, fire depart ments, public off cials, new,-.papers, the ’’a- dio, civic clubs and organizations—all will work cooperatively together to make the Week a success. They are working for you, and their hope is to enl st your sup port and interest. They will offer you every opportunity to learn about fires—its causes, the magnitude ot its de.^truetion, the means of controlling, fghting, and pre venting it. There is nothing dull about these lesson.s—to the contrary, they are in tensely dramatic and intere.sting. And thev are much more than that. When yon learn how to hispect your home for hazards, and apply what you learn, it may be the means of .saving that home from ruins. Vastly more important, it may be the means of saving the lives of your family from one of the most horri ble of deaths. Nothing pays greater divi dends than fire prevention. So do your part when Fire Prevention Weeo come.s. Observe t with an open, in quiring mind. And tvhen the IVeek is over, remember what you have learned, and keep on using your knowldge. One of thi. thiiigs this country needs mo.st is a nationally observed “Fire Prevention Year.” borrowed Comment H' M^NE WARFARE (S'^.dby Daily Star) Very proper'y and prompted by the pur est motives I res. Roosevelt has called up on the warring powers of Europe at the outbreak of rhe present conflict for hu maneness in their warfare. But in all hi.story there has never been a humane war. The record reveals that as man has progre.ssed in every war he has used the most destructive weapons exis tent. The powers responded immediately pledging humane warfare but each made that pledge contingent upon the enemy conduc.tirg the same type of war. Per haps upon that some slight hope was aroused that after all, in spite of men once again going to war, civilization is advanc ing. But that encouragement was short lived. Off Scotland a large vessel, a merchant ship of ^gland, was loaded far beyond normal with a human cargo. Some 1,400 persons were aboard that ship. Most of them were hurrying to get out of the war zone, ■‘eturnlng to Canada and to the Unit ed States, While reports vary it is rather conclu sive that the vessel was torpfedoed by a German submarine. Furttner, survivors said’ when they were rescued, the submarine ^ shelled the vessel after it was struck by the| torpedo. The loss of life, miraculously,!

KEEP OUR REASON AND KEEP OUT OUR PEACE (Hertford County Herald) There is war in Europe. The forces of hate and death and de struction are unloosed upon the unfortun ate peoples of Europe’s nations. In America there is peace. In America we want to keep peace. The terror and horror of war are un known to but few Americans, the survivors of that last conflict in Europe—that war to end all war, as we were told by propa gandist. But war in its real death-grim grimness, is something that we Americans i can not fully appreciate or imagine. Only those who have suffered this terror know that. Only those people• who have been through war’s horrors know how precious a thing this peace that we have in America can be. For these reasons, in this country we want to preserve our peace. America and its people want to stay out of war. We want our peace. It is a greater po.ssession than anyth ng that may be achieved by marching soldiers and the force of arms. While Europe .struggles in the throes of war, in America we want to fight as vali- ently Qo preserve the greatest blessing of any nation—peace. To fight in the battle for peace it is necessary to throw up de fenses again.st hatred and bold in check the excitement which inflames the pa.s- sion.s and overcomes reason. Our President has spoken and urged us to be calm. He knows the value of peace. Peace can be maintained in America, if we will it and fully realizing the preciousnes.s of it, as opposed to the horror in which Eiirofe i.s gripped, we w 11 reject the fatal- i.m which accepts war as inevitable. America has no business in Europe’s war. America can stay out of war. if we the people of America maintain our rea son, think clearly and refuse to permit the hysteria of war to swerve us from a unity of thought and action for preserving our peace—America’s most precious posses sion.. If wo maintain our reason, we can main tain our peace. bian. Would ihe people of Aus tria have voted to send their sons into battle to enforce these de mands, knowing they had Russia to fight also? Would the Russian people have elected to support Serbia, know ing they had Germany to contend with? Would the citizens of Ger many have voted to do battle with half the world? How about a vote of the people of the other coun tries which later became involv ed? To get closer home—would the citizens of the United States have voted to enter that bloody arena of human destruction, if the de cision had been submitted to them? The answer is NO! That’s what we voted when we elected Woodrow Wilson to office. And the answer i.s NO to all the other Qiifst.ions and that same answer will he infinitely more pronouiic- ed and louder since the horrible example of the last war and the certain knowled.ee of the Hell an other one would make of this en tire world. The power to declare war is the politician’s trump card. The politician is as patriotic as any one else, hut he is playing Inter- n.ational poker and we. the peo ple, .lust stand around behind the chairs and watch the game. If any^^ne is caught cheating it won t he the onlookers who start the fight, hut they are the ones who get hit by the stray shots. The politicians who are in pow er in various countries believe, with complete sincerity, that a fireboxes for campfire programs. The Boy Scouts assigned to this duty are Henry Waugh and Ben Blakewood. Project No. 4—To build a woodshed and tool house combin ed and a privy.

Two Boomer boys, Kirby and Deal, Deal, knocked two home runs as an outstanding feature of the hard-fought event. Batteries for Boomer were Scott and Bradshaw, while Rhodes and Icenhour hurled and caught for North Wilkesboro. This was the second game Boomer had played with North Wilkesboro this season. The first game, which was played some time back, ended in a tie of fl ail, when the game was called be cause of darkness.

CITY BARBER SHOP Use the advertising columns of| thi.s pap-r as your shopping guide. i Nothing ever has been gained by war. Had Ih-re never been such law such as the Ludlow Amend-! a Ihintr the world would have ‘SOFTIES, ALL OF US.’ (Morganton News-Herald) With the cap'ton, “Softies, All of Us,” the Charlotte Observers tells how Federal employes in Washington this summer have been permitted to drop whatever the' have been doing, if anything, to go home on account of the fact! that their working quarters were not air-conditioned: “We wonder what the workers anywher-. either n those private pursuits or public position.^, would have thought 50 years ago if .somebody had suggested to them that they ought to go and ask the boss to got off on account of the hot weather.” Humidity has made the present summer •something unusual in weather history. Air conditioning has not been without its per ils, since many of those going from torrid to wintry conditions have suffered from colds and sore-throat. Country life, sun shine, wind and rain, and work in the open, after all, are not easily duplicated in the city. They certainly go far toward keeping people from being softies. The Michigan legislature is considering a bill which would bar the insanity plea in crimes of violence. Insanity, the draf ters of the bill seem to think, is no excuse if you do .something unusually mad.— Washington Post. I Mr. Chamberlain, contemplating ‘ some of the things” happening in the far east, says, “It makes my blood boil.” But will that be enough to get up steam in the British fleet?—Norfolk Virginian Pilot. merit would weaken their hands in the big international game. It would do just that! It would weaken them so drastically that the game would be reduced to a penny ante affair. They couldn t use *he blue chips of war any more, they would have to be con tent with the white chips of com mon sense economics. They would have *0 trade with each other just as one does in every business - over the table and not on the battlefield. If the Ludlow Amendment be came lar*’ in this country it is rea sonable to believe that the people o f Germany, Italy, England, France and every other country, would force their leaders to adopt the same plan and, if an issue is great enough, there is not one single leader, even Stalin, who can for long combat the determin- advaneed another thousand years. It isn’t the numbers killed or the property de.struction which caus es the greatest fundamental harm: it is the type ot person which i.s destroyed—the young man. The breeding stock — to use a vulgar term. The French race lost an inch in stature as a resu't of the Na poleonic wars. The loss of a gen eration of its young men terribly handicapped our own South for many years. One of Europe’s trou bles today is that there is such a small field remaining, from which to choose suitable men to run the governments. The best are dead: killed in that noble slaughter which was to end all wars and make Democracy safe for posterity. Another such holo caust and women will have to ed will of the people. Nothing can be gained by war. take over the reins of govern ment—which might not be such a bad idea!
