Josiah Bailey's Cotton. Campaign
Senator Josiah \V. Bailey apparently continues his
efforts to feather his nest with cotton and assure him
self a soft ride back to the august body and a soft
seat if and when he gets back there.
Asserting that the Bankhead law has crimped the
rights of the farmer, the Senator forgets to mention
that cotton is selling for a price greater after the tax
has been paid than it did before the Bankhead Act
was formulated. He has apparently led the forces in
an effort to ItiTT the atfand Its provisions, and has of
fered nothing in its behalf in the way of projtosed
changes other than those of a vote-pulling nature.
Making the cotton law apparently one of his main
campaign issues, Mr. Bailey is going to find himself
in the shade when the success of the cotton control
movement is proved successful.
Tears Availeth Not
Hertford County Herald.
The murder of innocent people continues. In fact,
it increases. Daily newspapers have even stopped
playing up automobile accident deaths as "Big News."
If a man were to run another person down and kill
him with a club or shoot him, everybody would be
aroused and excited. But if that same man runs
down a person on the highway with an automobile
and kills him, people show much less concern. Of
course, everybody who hears of it is sorry, and the
relatives of the victim weep tears. But tears in this
case, availeth not. The slaughter continues; at the
rate of over a thousand a year in this State alone.
It is high time that citizens become aroused over
the desperate danger of high speed fouls on the high
ways who drive cars beyond a mile-a-minute clip
regularly. An automobile at the modern high s|reeds
will kill just as quickly as a torpedo coming to hit
you. And that is one thing that Mr. and Mrs. Aver
age Citizen ought to think about. Another thing is
the desperate need for some sort of laws to keep rprlt
less drivers from driving cars everywhere like bats
out of hell.
Education for Marriage
inn to find the cause of divorce, and they have found
it.
Not only should parents give their children some
very clear and definite ideas on what marriage means,
hut colleges and perhaps high schools should offer
courses which would be very helpful. Of course, the
argument will be advanced that education for marriage
will remove the romance, but common sense, fortified
by a little education, never made a very big mess of
marriage, and we've also noticed that the romantic
setting is rarely missing.
Stanley Srws and Prets _
Too many couplet are taking the marriage vowt with
no conception of what married life is like, other than
the vague and untrue picture given by the crooning
songs which are heard over the radio. Imagine the
rude shock which the bride gets when she "goes to
fix his coffee in the morning." and he growls that it
tastes like dishwater, and also imagine what he feels
and thinks when she positively refuses to arise and ]
"boil nis coffee any old morning in the week." Mar
riage should be filled with romance and tender
thoughts, but at the same time it has its very practi
cal side, and its very perplexing problems. And those
persons who have only "crooning troubadour" ideas
ofmartiagr arc simply unable to face these perplexing
problems in a sane manner, and come through the ex
perience with a wholesome repect for the other mem
ber of the couple And so they hasten to the divorce
court to tell thevjudge all about it, and he grants the
divorce.
Divorces are increasing by leaps and bounds in this
country. If marriage and divorces affected only the
direct parties involved, there would be no cause for
serious consideration of the problem, but nine times
out of ten there is the welfare and happiness of at
! least one child, and perhaps more, to be considered.
| Simply stated, it is not right to allow more and more
| people to marry, bring children into the world, and
then blight the lives of these children by securing di
! vorces. We do not mean to say that divorces should
not be [lermitted in some instances, but we do say
that in the majority of the cases a better understand
I ing of the responsibilities of marriage prior to the tak
i ing of the vows would have prevented a divorce.
episcopal church leaders in session at Atlantic City
this week have been studying a report of a commission
on marriage, in which report the commission urges
education for marriage as the only way to combat a
world increase in divorce. These church leaders real
ize that something must be done, and the fact that
the church frowns on divorce has not helped to curb
the growing practice. For that reason they are seek
Stowaway Bugs
Tie Country Home.
Even the bugs are getting the modern mania for
speed and travel. Either that or they are too lazy
to fly on their own wings. At any rate, when th^
Graf Zeppelin landed in August, 1929, it carried
twenty species of insects, siz of them new to the
United States. Since then the keen-eyed inspectors
of the Department of Agriculture have been on the
watch for other aerial stowaways, and their efforts
have not lien in vain. Last year a total of 3,427 in
spections of entering airplanes disclosed 626 insects
| or diseased plants. Among the eighty one different
lots of insects found were such undesirable aliens as
j the citrus blackfly, several injurous fruit flies, the pink
lxdlworm, and various critters unwanted and hitherto
i unknown in this country.
, American farmers and gardeners, it is estimated,
i have been working two hours each day merely to sup
? l?irt -our present jnsect population.?So we have bugs'
| enough of our own without letting any more insect
l*sts smuggle in by way of airplanes.

rats and mice only and leaves no smell f.om the dead rat. Comes in two
