PAGE FOUR THE CONCORD TIMES ✓ Published Mondays and Thursdays. Entered as second class mail matter at the postofficf at Concord, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. J. B. SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher TV. M. SHERRILL, Associate Editor Special Representative FROST, LANDIS & KOHN T'V-i. 225 Fifth Avenue; New York Peoples’ Gas Building, Chicago , K , 1004 Candler Building, Atlanta ivy i i i icq ■' ■ J AT ONE END OF HIGHWAY 20. t <I r / The water end of State Highway-20 enjoys [,Mts greatest patronage at this season of the an year when heat and ennui drive the pleasure seeker to his annual outing, it being estimat ed that at least half o i the persons who motor over this route go east until their traveling is halted at the Atlantic. , , White at Wilmington 1 was confronted by a problem that often has given me cause for worry—the feasibility of praying for the kind ! of weather that one wants. Up in the I ied .niont section our people have been praying ,<f for rain and cooler weather as a remedy for 'the drought and heat. Down on the Atlantic found the people had been too cold, with the cold snaps playing havoc with business. No one cares much about dipping in the At lantic "when it is pleasant at home and as a result the hotels and boarding houses have not been rushed with visitors. Just whose pray ers would be answered I can't say, for I have ano way to know whether the prayers of the •‘highlander who wanted cooler weather would 5 be more prevailing than those of the man on ; the coast who wanted warmer weather. .Local pride is something round everywhere. 1 'AVhen we stepped from our car at Wrightsville i Beach several nights ago we were attacked by a swarm of flies or some other sort of insect that literally covered our bodies. Whatever Mtheir name they had powerful stickers and ’’they worked these without hesitation once they had penetrated the clothing. In less than *a minute my legs were covered with whelps Jand I was scratching no less violently than the vunan in the sixth year of the so-callec| seven year itch. '•* We complained the next day -and a native of Wilmington showed surprise atj our predic ament. | “The first time this year we have had anything like that,” he explained. And as we were leaving Wilmington Sunday a man in a garage said those insects were nothing new. ;; k We screen for them and on still nights have to burn something about the house to keep them out,” this man said after telling about his house on the sound. Which, we ask, is the better citizen, the one who never sees the flies in his city, or he that admits their pres ence and tries to prevent them from being a nuisance ? The man who goes to the seashore, be it Wrightsville Beach or anywhere else, must expect mosquitoes and the most blase ones he ever savy. At home the mosquito is kind of sneaky in his work. He is more troublesome at night than at any other time for his move ments cannot be seen. At Wrightsville the time of day-makes no difference.* These pests create just as much trouble in broad open day night as they do at night, and they are open and above-board with it all. Os course there is this to be considered—in Concord they are rather moderate in size, and this fact perhaps makes them a little timid. On the seashore they grow up like thousand-legs, and this size seems to imbue in them a spirit of conquest that defies anything man has in vented. They don't sing down there so much either. They just walk right up to you, as it were, omitting the custumary warning, and nibble at that part of the body that appeals most to them—the legs? Its rather peculiar, but a fact nevertheless, that towns built along rivers and larger bodies of water, for that matter, get in the habit of moving as does the water move. They are dependent on the tide, as it were, and seem ingly never get in much of a hurry. That does not mean the people of Wilmington are lazy and indifferent to business matters. They have built the third largest city in the State, but just the same there’s a difference. One doesn't have to stay there long before the feel ing of complacency comes. ‘The ferry’s on the other side” usually is the case and people seem to take it for granted that it will always be. When we got to the ■ ferry,landing starting home we had to wait and the fifteen minutes irked me. There were plenty of \\ ilmington people waiting too and' they did not seem ruffled at.all. They were accustomed to the wait and have regulated their lives to the beck and call of the river. “Dopes" sell for ten cents at the only soda fountain I found at Wrightsville. Somehow the dime dope is never as good as the one that retails for a nickle, not because of the ex tra cost, so much, but because in most places the nickle is synonymous of Coca-Cola and we can’t see why it is worth more at Wrightsville. That extra nickle is characteristic of many resort places. At the hotel where we stayed they charged a quarter extra to take our bag gage from the building. They took us fn without any baggage cost. Looks like they so charge coming in ipr Tear, we wouldn t‘stay afid then, added the’quarter in the belief ive would be glad to pay- it To get put. v .-‘ , ' What great advantage to . the public the causeway is the »rqfek*; upon which th's devel drive closer to The beach than ever before, but what big advantage is that? You still have to leave your car at the sound and walk or ride in. If you are staying at some of the hotels or cottages you have to ride from the sound or walk a mile or more. The causeway is a real estate development really. Already dredging operations are under way and it is planned to reclaim acres that have been under water for generations. The causeway is the rocfik upon, which this devel opment is to be founded, and until the lots are ready for same the owners are trying t» get their money back from the people who use it. You pay going over and you pay coming back. There is no denying the benefits to be de rived from a stay at Wrightsville,- and appar ently the people are willing and anxious to put up with the conditions to get these bene fits. We saw an old man, his head white and his form shriveled, waddling toward the At lantic, seeking balm for his infirnrties in the salt air and water from the Atlantic. Infants in arms are held each day on the -sandy beach so the sun and air can join in building up their tiny frames. Its wonderful what the combi nation will do and best of all the supply is un limited. The old Atlantic is there every day, year in and year out and a commercialized world can’t destroy all of its magnetism. W. M. S. OF COURSE HE’S TO BLAME. President Charles E. Hearst,Vof the lowa farm bureau, is one of the latest farm leaders to enter protest with the President over the manner in which the farm relief legislation has been handled. President Hearst told President Coolidge something that the world ought to realize— that farmers of the mid-west charge the ad ministration “with full responsibility for fail ure to keep the promises made to our people” in 1924. There is no one else to whom the responsi bility can be laid. President Coolidge is the leader of his party which has a majority in both houses of Congress. If he can't lead his party then he should let someone else do it. The promises referred to by President Hearst pledged that the Republican party at this session of Congress lend itself to economic equality of agriculture and indus try - * ; That promise has not been kept. President Hearst charged, with reason, that farm relief measures carrying out the promises have been defeated by a group which is now enjoy ing the advantages of the protective system and is unwilling to permit extension of that system to include agriculture. In other words the Republicans are controll ed by the manufacturers such as Secretary Mellon and Senator Butler. They w r ant a high protective tariff for what the farmer must buy from "the manufacturer but they refuse to put any protection on the stuff the farmer has to sell the manufacturer. Responsibility for this condition rests with the administration. OUR BIG NEED NOW. With the completion of the Hotel Concord, a handsome testimonial to the civic pride and optimism of Concord and Cabarrus people we should turn our attention now to a public hospital, an institution that w*ould adequately provide for the needs of our people. The movement for the hospital was started some months ago when representatives of civic organizations and individuals met for the discussion of problems that were expected to arise in connection with the building of such an institution. The first step in the matter was taken and the public aroused to the need of the hospital. One has only to look about to see the great good that would derive from the hospital, and it is just as easy to see the great need. A public hospital would come nearer than any thing else in filling the needs of all the people. And too, we should consider the question as soon as possible because of the aid that can be secured from the Duke Foundation. This is not much help, some people argue, yet it is. not to be passed up without due thought. A dollar a day per bed is what the fund would allow the proposed hospital and this would certainly be a great help. The public is still interested in ths proposi tion as evidenced by the fact that inquiries are received from time to time. We should lose no time in getting something definitely started. BOBBY AT THE TOP. By winning the British open golf champion ship from a field which included the best Am erican as well as British players, Bobby Jones demonstrated again that he belongs at the top of the golfing world. It is the first time in : the history of the game that an American amateur has.won the title and the third time in hisory that an amateur of any country has been the winner. Bobby played with a majority of the Brit j ish as well as American fans pulling for him, a fact which indicates the great love the world has for this clean, able expert. Bobby a/^pont I and nothing j moije. Jl Xliat v s | whai f makes ; hijn 1 popular.l * Always he is above-board, courteous ) Ibe sure J and asks’ none, but justjtlie same | he, is always ready to go a little beyond the j conventional if such a thing is necessary. Walter Hagen is a great golf player and is THE CONCORD TIMES too good a sport to violate a rule. Just the same he appeared half an hour late for an im portant match the other day, realizing as he must have that his opponent was ready to start at the appointed ime and must be getting just a little worried over the delay. Hagen beat his man after the delay, after being badly beaten the day before. Bobby Jones would have been on time for that match or conceded his defeat by default. WE DO NOT CHANGE. Every ne.w set of statistics shows that we going right ahead with disregard for life and limb. We are getting killed in traffic acci dents faster than ever before, but so far as can be seen, no determined effort to remedy condi tions,is being made. In the eleven States of the South from Jan uary 1 to June 27, inclusive, 1,217 persons were killed and 6,575 injured in automobile, railroad, airplane, steamboat and horsedrawn vehicular traffic accidents. Florida led all southern States in the num ber of persons killed, with 205. Os that total 120 were killed during the first three months while the winter season was in progress. Flor ida also led in the number of persons injured, with 1,284, of which number 666 were injur ed during the first quarter of the year. North Carolina was second in the number of per sons killed with an even 200, while Georgia was second in the number of persons injured, with 1,078. , The tabulation of states includes: North Carolina; killed 200, injured 433; South Carolina, killed 72:; injured 143. RUSSIANS CHANGE THEIR MINDS. Russia has not collapsed. For years the rest of the world sat back in expectancy of the crash that seemed inevitable, yet we find the soviets in a more strengthened position today than at any time since the fall of the Czars. As a matter of fact the Russians have just about accomplished the impossible and with improved foreign trade and better internal eco nomic conditions they are getting along about as well as the Italians and Spaniards who are under a government not entirely different from that maintained in Moscow by the so viets. Fascists refuse to be classed with the Bol shevists, yet in Russia today it is-impossible to find a man with the power there that Mus solini has in Italy, and the plans under which the people are governed are not so different. Russia has succeeded because the leaders saw soon enough the folly of their first plan. That plan was to do away with all wealth and let the government make and sell everything. Thatjcould not be worked course.. There have to be leaders and there’has to be capital, whatever name we give them. In other words the soviets have abolished the philosophy of communLm and concessions have been made to private capital, which under the original sov.et idea was to be abolished entire*/. State barter and forced requisitions have given way to a money economy and as one writer puts it, "Industries now buy and sell their goods in skad of attempting to exchange through the government; the wage system and payment by results operate in tne factories; there are a gold standard, banking and a budget syetem; the screws have been taken off the -co-opera tives; wholesale and retail trade is largely in private djands.” The government now is sort Gs overlord which supercises practically every sort of bus iness, yet leaves the actual transactions to pri vate interests. The United States has refused to recognize the soviet government yet Russia is constant ly buying greater quantities of goods in this country and her financial status apparently has been approved by American business. Prior to 1920 Russia virtually had no foreign trade but in 1922-23 imports were $87,000,000 and grew to $718,000,000 in 1924-25, while ex ports which were $210,000,000 in 1922-23 grew to $567,000,000 in 1924-25. THE CRUCIAL AGE. A Brooklyn judge said the other day “most of the criminals are boys and goung men. To be exact, over 80 per cent, of them are Hess than twenty-five years of age. If the people of Brooklyn ask why so many youths become criminals, I can tell them. A dozen years of investigation and experience in these matters have demonstrated that the vast majority of all the youthful offenders committed crime because they had bad associates and were not under the proper influences in the years when boyhood was turning into-manhood —between the ages of 12 and 18. This is the most im portant period in a boy’s life. Then his ideals are acquired, his character formed.” It seldom fails that when a boy is “raised on the street,” to use an expression of the streets, he grows up to be worthless and a curse in stead of a joy to his parents. ou can l°ok about any town and when you see youngsters sitting around the street cor ners, discussing, matters ..with old&u boys, and men-and gettffi-g wise to thi4gs of; theywajdd,’ you can pick some of the “blabk sheep” of the futureU \U F •; There is nothing uplifting about the aver age “square” and if the bay is not careful he will soon tire of the white ways even and long for dark retreats where he can try some of the things- he hears discussed. Parents who allow their youngsters to have free range between the ages of 12 and 18 us ually regret it later. We do not say that all boys who run wild at this age turn out fail ures but it is safe to predict that 90 per cent., of them suffer some experience that goes through life with them as a dark page in their history. It is only/ natural that the .formative age should be the crucial period in the life of the «oy, and influences and habits of that age are certain to affect him in later life. Everything possible to interest the~youngster in things worthwhile should be done by the- parent. Neglect on part will lead to a life of in difference quicker than anything else. If the boy can’t find comradeship and entertainment at home he will seek it elsewhere. It is use less to try to change the nature of the boy. It is better to give wholesome recreation and comradeship than to force him to seek amuse ment away from home. STILL USING OUR HORSES AND MULES. Evidently the hbrse and mule is good enough for the average North Carolina farm er. From the University News Letter we learn that North Carolina “does not rank high in the use of farm tractors’* the percentage of tractors in the State being much lower than the average for the United States. The News Letter not only tells us that we use few trac tors but it gies the* further information the State ranks low “in the combined value of all farm machinery per farm.” The News Letter thus puts the data: “According to the 1925 census of agricul ture there were 283,482 farms in North Car olina, of which 7,759 reported tractors. Only one State, Texas, reported more farms, but 17 states reported more farm) tractors. Which means that when reduced to a comparable basis, per farm say, North Carolina ranks very low.‘ North Carolina has 4.4 per cent, of the nation’s farms, but only 1.6 per cent, of the nation’s farm tractors. Eight per cent, of the farms of the nation reported tractors, against only 1.6 per cent, for North Carolina. In the value of all farm machinery we rank about as we do in the use of tractors. North Carolina produces a large amount of farm wealth* each year, but she does it largely on the basis of a vast expenditure of human labor. Our per worker yield is not very large, due mainly to the fact that human labor on our farms is not reinforced with any fair amount of labor-sav ing, profit-producing machinery.” There are two factors which enter into this matter —the size of North Carolina farms and the number of tenants. Our farms can be cultivated and maintained with livestock and the tenants havefi’L the money to purchase the machinery, including tractors. WISE CRACKS. Railroads the block system for safety, while many motorists use the blockhead system at the crossings.— Knoxville, Tenn., Sentinel. T In a small town a man may escape and be run down by automobiles; but not by gossips.—Arkansas Demo crat. There is said to be quote a lot of art involved in smuggling pictures into the United States. —Nashville, Tenn., Banner. Indian women seem to be arriving socially. Two oil hearesses of the Osage tribe fiave been killed for their money.—Fayetteville, N. C., Observer. Paris modistes have decreed that skirts are to be shorter and sleeves longer. Then the girls, may keep something more up their sleeves. —Greensboro, N. C., Record. Free speech isn’t what some folks want. What they're after is an audience locked in so they can't get out. — Arkansas Democrat. TEN COMMANDMENTS OF HEALTH. Dr. Varraml, President of Cornell University, has written, what he calls “ten health commandments.” He presented them the other-day, in an address before the American Public Health Association. He insisted that every intelligent person should>be familiar with the following: 1. He should have a knowletlge of* the physiological basis for sound health habits, such as regular and suf ficient hours of sleep, right posture, suitable exercise and proper elimination. 2. He should fcnow tne types and amounts and pro portions of the various food elements essential to the proper nurture of his body. 3 He should have an acquaintance with the princi ples of normal mental aetion ami the conditions under lying the more common variations from normal state of mind. % 4. He should have a general understanding of the sex instinct in man—its stages of development, its -nor mal expression and the values and penalties attaching to it. 5. He should have a knowledge of the factors deter mining infection and resistance and of the principles of artificial immunisation in the case of certain of the common infectious diseases. 6. He should have enough knowledge of the causes and preveutiou of the degenerative diseases to offer a prospect of passing through middle life without a breakdown. 7. He should know and therefore be armed against health hazards lurking in the environment, such as po luted water and / milk supply, congestion in housing, poisonous dusts of certain industries, infected soil, etc. 8. He should appreciate the necessity for frequent medical and dental examination. 9. He should have an intelligent basis for choosing wisely his medical and dental advisers, and for realiz ing that the modern practice of medicine is grounded on science, and not on mystery, fancy and tradition. 10. He should have a knowledge of the important health problem facing the community, of the methods of attacking those problems, and of the results to he ex pected from intelligent community action in the public health field.
