It is now just as j t lecessary to ask the judge as it is to ask i he girl. 4 Vicious Weapon The Japanese suicide plane is a vicious j veapon in the hands of fanatics and the I American people back here on the home ront should make no mistake about that, t has recently been termed the perfect nissile. With a fanatic or doped Japanse at its controls it is more deadly than he rocket bombs that created such deduction in England shortly before the European war closed. In short, the Japanese suicide plane is It tremendously lethal weapon. Loaded i'ith a potent explosive and guided by a apanese who is about to die and knows , it is propelled at tremendous speed towards its target. The pilot is sealed in Bnd nothing he can do will prevent the Biissile from striking something and exBloding, blowing to atoms itself, the pilot Bnd everything they hit. Released from he carrying plane when near the target, ||he pilot of the deadly missile sees noth-! ng and feels nothing but the fanatically; nspired zeal to kill and take with him j he enemies he is sent to destroy. Takes Much Handling A tobacco crop is almost entirely a iandmade one. It takes many busy hands o make ready the many million pounds 'if tobacco that will shortly begin piling ip on the warehouse sales floors. In many cases this years crop was stared even before the dawn of the year. Jy Christmas many tobacco beds in this >elt had already been prepared. The rear had hardly come before these beds vere planted and thereafter there was nuch watchful waiting until the plants md time were ready for the transplantng to the fields. It was then that some of the real work >egan. Transplanting the plants is in itelf a big and arduous job. The planting vas not all finished before cultivating bejan in many cases and the cultivating vas not all done before labor was retired for cropping and curing. Before he curing was through came the work if grading, and this month of July, aleady finds many thousands of pounds of he weed in readiness for transportation o the sales floors and to be put up at tuction. When they see those piles of tobacco >eing auctioned off, beginning late this nonth, very few people will pause to onsider how much personal handling iach leaf received by itself. There was Hq cropping from the plant in the fields, rhen each leaf had to be pullec! or jerkd off separately. Then again at the uring barns each leaf had to be handled eparately, stringing on the sticks on vhich it was to be cured. When it was ured and the sticks taken from the barn here was yet to come three more indivilual handlings of each leaf: grading, lacking and tying. It takes a lot of work tnd personal attention to each leaf of obaeco when it comes to producing a y6p of the weed. / 1 - tlm Don'/ To Ta/? It is generally known that men wh< lave passed through trying periods ii he war, the fellows who have seen deatl ill around them and often staring then n the face, are not inclined to talk abou heir adventures when they return home Perhaps it is better so. They, shouli re allowed to forget, if they can. Fo nany that will be no easy task, as thei: ;ery souls have been seared by exper ences through which they passed. Thes should turn their minds to finer things o ife than those which comes with wa ind death. Recently we have interviewed a num >er of returned soldiers, some of them ou )f prisoner of war camps where hard ihips and cruelties inflicted upon helples: nen defy all description. For the mos jart these boys talked, but only in an ;wer to questions as they had no persona lesire to review their experiences. As a matter of fact their truthful an iwer to inquiries revealed silch thing! hat we were a little less anxious to heai han they were to tell it. Naturally, thi >ublic want to know something of wha he soldiers went through. Just as natur illy a newspaperman has to ask ques ions. Often these questions bring an wers that he does not like to hear as ew people want their faith in man;ind shaken, to hear of all the principles if humanity forgotten and abused. Thai s what one is apt to hear when one in erviews a man returned from Germar trison camps. We hardly blame the boys or not wishing to talk more than the> lave to.

Let's Reverse Scarcity Philosophy After reading the statistics and arguments relating to various phases of rationing and price control in the United States, one comes to the inevitable conclusion that the job of telling each family what it can eat and wear, and ^ach farmer and manufacturer what he can produce, involves over-all planning of interlocking details that would stagger even the creater of all things. The effort to make all phases of production and retailing a matter of statistics, has become a job beyond the conception of man. The factors that went into past production and selling costs, may have little or no bearing today because of entirely changed conditions that face producers and retailers. The confusion and shortages which the consumer faces on every hand do not mean that the idea of rationing is unsound, but they do mean that the incentive to produce and sell in too many cases has been stifled by red tape. Quoting statistics alone will not fill the bread basket. There must be developed in this country a friendly governmental attitude toward producers and retailers. Cooperation must be a twosided affair. It is all right to hold down prices, but when necessary there must be a quicker adjustment in the cost of production and selling. Instead of perfecting plans for more rationing of scarcities, why not put more emphasis on adopting policies which will produce plenty? An Unsavory Term Tokyo radio's reiterated declaration that Japan has not and never will make peace overtures to the United States and Great Britain suggests that Japan not only has invited the friendly service of neutral powers to present peace feelers but is itself feeling out the conditions on which it may surrender. The more Tokyo says it does not seek peace the mote reason to think peace terms are weighing heavily upon its military mind. They know they cannot win. Outfought at every turn, with their Navy impotent, their air force dwindling, their industrial centers being ground to powder, the outcome of the conflict is obvious even to their fanatical understanding.?The Wilmington News. * ?

It may be that'j ^ | we will shortly get around to,] . being able to show North Wesa j 1 j I some more attention. We hope JI r j that will be the case. How about j I your helping us by sending us, i r news matter that does ont now' i reach us ? 11 I 1 f | The small grain crop in Bru- j 1 f j nswick was noticeably ligha in 1 r I yield this year, when it came to! < j harvesting time. The best report | on a crop that we have heard a- ' - bout was made by Henry C. ' t;' Bennett, of the Exum community. 1 1 He averaged 70 bushels of oats i per acre, and that was fairly j S.good for any year. George Dan-)' II ford, of Bolivia, got 30 bushels j ' 1 of wheaa per acre. 1 Cleaning out the channel at!' j the Cape Fear Bar is a necessity [ j i every year or two. The San Pablo, J' " j a big dump type dredge, is now j ' 3 j engaged in this undertaking. Prob-1 ' C j ably without the U. S. Army En-11 l I gineers knowing the fact that | " dredging at certain seasons is ? t very damaging to shrimp, the ji . month or more of dredging oper- J1 ations are always set for late j I June and July. At this time of j' i the year the half grown shrimp I' ; I are moving out from the creeks 11 I and rivers by the millions. The 1 , I dredging operations scoop them up' 5 by the millions. Naturally, they i t are killed as they pass through | . the powerful suction pumps. If: that was not bad enough, the j dredge, once it is loaded, goes! > out on the shrimp trawling gro- j r unds and dumps hudreds of tons of mud, killing still more shrimp,! caught underneath the load. As aj final phrase of destruction the I soft mountains of mud on the' bottom of the trawling ground is. I destructive to shrimp trawls. Let a big trawl and its net pass over one of these dumping spots and | it is good bye to the net. Thej leaded bottom of the net cuts right through the mud, filling the! net, breaking the tow line and J losing the net before the boatman is aware he has become hung j j up. The dredging on the bar sho- j uld be done some other time than I June or July. Pearl Harbor was bombed on J December 7th; two island on which the Japanese have recently suffered disasters each have their names spelled with seven letters; this is the 7th month of the year and we are now having the 7th war loan, which comes to an end on Saturday, July 7th, We did not think up all these ourself. Our Friend, Ikey Reynolds of Shallotte, called the matter to our attention. Over three years ago a be- j grimed English trawler, which [ had been engaged in minesweep-; ing duties somewhere off this coast, put in at Southport for a few days. Having been at sea for a long time and their visit here coinciding with the worst days in England, the crew was as j much begrimed as the vessel.

STANLEY BROTHERS DOING FINE WORK I Continued From fnge Onel There are six of the Stanley! brothers, three of the youngest being in the sevice. Two are in France and the third in Texas.; The three at home, forming the' Stanley brothers combination for farming are H. C., M. C. and1 L. H. Stanley. They are colored and for hard work, honesty and ' good farming they are said to be hard to beat. About 1929 they bought a tract j of farming land some four miles i out from Shallotte. There they began farming, the tiact being di- J vided into three separate farms. All three of the men now have' nice painted homes and good out- l buildings. Each works his own | farm, but they, as well as their! families, get together to help| each other during any farm work I crisis. | The tractor, grain combine and other farm machinery were pur-i chased as a joint enterprise, each of the three brother? paying his share and each using the tractor, comvine and other joint farm j machinery, as needed.
