IT’S GOING TO REQUIRE
A LOT OF THOUGHT
Chief event of the incoming
new year will be, of course, the
election of a President. This is
going to be a matter requiring
the deepest thought on the part
of the American people, and if
we are anything of a prognosti-
cator, party lines will be torn
asunder in the rendering of a
decision at the polls.
The question boils down to
this:
President Roosevelt, who will
undoubtedly be a candidate for
re-election, 'has been in command
during the period in which a
reasonable degree of prosperity
has returned to the country. To
him must go the lion’s share of
the credit for lifting us out of
the mire. But has this lifting
process been done on a sound
economic basis? In short, are we
in so far over our heads to pro
vide for Today that the price
will be too great for Tomorrow'?
Big Business, of course, an-
. swers this affirmatively. And
presents convincing arguments.
The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States sees the pres
ent trade stimulation as but
temporar\\ Agriculture is divid
ed. Labor’s enthusiasm for the
New Deal is not what it was.
Even the man on relief is report
ed as dissatisfied.
The national debt is over
thirty billions of dollars. The in
debtedness of state and local
taxing bodies is estimated to be
at least eighteen billions more,
making a total public debt of our
American people — national,
state and local — approximately j
forty-eight billions of dollars. |
This amount is equal to the esti-1
mated total annual income of all
the people of the United States.
These are just a few of the
things w’hich the electorate must
think about between now and
November. Perhaps this debt is
all rig*ht. Perhaps President
Roosevelt and his advisers know |
where we are going, and how
we are going to get there. I
There’s no gainsaying that hej
has revived industrji and agricul-1
ture and taken care of the un
employed to date. The question
is, how long can we continue to
increase our debt by twelve mil
lion dollars per day, the estimat
ed deficit for the last half of
1935, in order to revive things? j
No one knows who will oppose;
Mr. Roosevelt in November. No
one know's vVhether the Republi- ■
can party has anyi fiscal policy,
or program to continue the up-1
swing in business at any lesser
price. No one knows much of j
anything except that during this i
new year we must elect a Pres-|
ident, that never before have we
faced an election owing so much
mony; therefore never has there
been a time when we needed to
devote so much thought on an
issue, with less knowledge and
information to guide us.
It’s a problem.
Arms, fortified by the latest an-1
tidote to halitosis. He was equip-1
ped w’ith every weapon of the I
trade and he tried them all: |
charm, disarming frankness, log-1
ic, eloquence, paternal counsel, I
hurt reproachfulness, arch dis-|
belief. Whatever the assumed |
role, underneath lurked the alii
too familiar mule-like being who
refused to believe that he could
fail, that his sales-talk fell on
deaf ears; that he had actually
encountered one more mule-like
than himself. So great was the
lady’s rage at his persistent as
saults upon her time, her pri
vacy, so great the strain on her
politeness, that her entire hou.se-
hold was wont to cower in fright j
w’hen the cry went up: “Here |
comes the Fuller-Brush Man.”|
Year after year as one after j
the other of the Fuller cJan turn
ed from her door with bitter-1
ness, with shockjed incredulity,
or with plain terror, she vowed
that if the Fuller Brush were the
only brush in the world still she
would have none of it .Yet now
she 'has actually ordered a Ful
ler Brush.
Why? Because the other af
ternoon a quiet-vtoiced g*entle-
man came to the door. He rang'
the bell. When the maid came I
he did not ask if the lady was
home, he simply gave her a cata
logue. “This shows some of our
best brushes,” he said. “Maybe
your folks w’ould like to buy one.
The prices are all marked and
the address of our shop is there.
jThey can just write any, time.
Thank you,” he said, as he walk
ed away.
Now that is something new*.
Or is it the subtlest salesman-
s'hip of all? For it got results.
She sent for a brush.
Ever since hearing of this in
cident w'e 'have wondered if it
was due to a sudden gleam of
intelligence on the part of one
individual Fuller-Brush Man, or
whether it is an indication that
the entire mess of salesmen have
seen the light. Perhaps these
men have encountered other
mule-like housewives, other mil
itant females whose eye grew
cold and w’'hose hand rtfached
for a rolling-pin at the sight of
them. Perhaps it has finallyi oc
curred to them that there was
something wrong;

Presentatisn of the millionth car
of the year—a 1936 Standard coach
—will be made to the owner whose
Chevrolet is discovered before mid
night on January 15, 1936, to be the
oldest model licensed and in regular
service.
It is specified that, to win, the old-
timer Chevrolet must have been reg
ularly licensed for operation during
the current year, possessing its own
1935 license tags issued before De
cember 1. It must, also, have been li
censed as a passenger car, and be
equipped with a complete passenger
car body. It must bear the original
engine and chassis numbers, legible
and unaltered.
To enter a Chevrolet for considera
tion, the owner need only drive It to
any Chevrolet dealer’s salesroom and
submit it for examination, receiving
a blank on which he will report the
engine and chassis numbers of the
car to the Chevrolet Motor Company
at Detroit, where the company’s rec
ords will determine which is the very
oldest in service.
A well-cared-for home forest serves
also as a windbreak for buildings, a
shelter for livestock, a means of
protecting valuable lands from ero
sion, a source of profitable employ
ment for men and teams during other
wise spare or idle time, a place of
recreation and an improvement in
the appearance of the farm.

This is the time to make New
Year’s resolutions, yet we heard
of one that was made and kept
for the last three years but fin
ally broken the other day. It
was a queer enough resoliition,
too, an«l the reason for making
it and for breaking it may be
a not unprofitable tale.
It seems that a certain lady
was greatly bothered by a plague
of traveling salemsen. Mobs of
them w^re forever descending
upon her with their wares and
camping out on her doorstep. Of
these the most persistent was
the Fuller-Brush Man. Great
were the battles between them,
for this lady happened to be one
of those people, the bane of ev
ery salesman, who naturally des
pise to be urged to do anything.
Year after year she withstood
the attacks of the Fuller-Brush
Man. He came trained in the

OUR ASSORTMENT
OF WEATHER
The Engineer who is in charge
of the weather department must
have a tremendous task on His
hands. Occasionally jou hear a
man say he would like to regu
late the weather and then it
wouldn’t be so hot or so cold or
so wet or dry or whatever was
wrong with that particular day’s
allotment.
If a layman should attempt to
take over the weather depart
ment and try his hand at our ex
tensive system of winds, he
would probably produce world
wide destruction the first move.
The winds move the clouds
along, the water carriers, and un
less he had some idea of what to

Spring. But the calendar says
w'e are just entering Winter
and mentions nothing about
Spring. Winter in the Sandhills
isn’t a very serious affair. The
sun has reached its greatest de
clination and swings back on its
journej' with the long oblique
rays gradually growing shorter.
So if we didn’t like yesterday
and are doubtful of tomorrow we
can rest assured it hit some one
exactly right. With all the horde
of human beings and their many
wants and desires, the Creator
will, in his weather for tomor
row and the next day, not only

ducting the bureau with safety,
