The New Farm Bill Like the doctor's prescribed medicine, the new 1938 farm bill may not be exactly what ev eryone wants, but it offers the best cure so far discovered for our collective agricultural ills. There may be inequalities in the bill quotas and as a result one individual may not share equally with another in the benefits. There is one thing certain that everyone stands to bene fit more under the terms of the bill than with no bill at all Compare what one didn't get when there was no recognition of agriculture with what one received under the old triple A and it will be seen at once that the benefits under the control were greater than those under what some call rugged individualism. That the new bill will not work perfectly is not to be expected. There is provision to alter the bill or do away with it altogether. But to hear some talk, the farmer is signing away his lreedom. We doubt this charge seriously when we remember that the farmer signed his farm away and reduced himself, his wife and chil dren to poverty under the old individual sys tem. As for creating a scarcity, one admits the bill is designed with that in view. In the past the farmer loaded his wagon with a normal crop added the surplus that broke down the vehicle, tore up the economic balance and delivered at a price below cost of production the remnants that an impoverished and hungry people were not able to buy. Under our economic way of doing things, ov erproduction of farm commodities has caused more want and hunger than all the high prices. And yet, we are told that when a sane effort is trade to equalize supply and demand and sta bilize markets the farmer is surrendering his freedom and is pushing starvation at the throats of his fellowman. Farmers, it is your problem. The Congress has opened the way for you to act in your own be half. By voting for the 1938 bill on Saturday, March 12, you may not enrich yourself to the point of retirement in eaae, but just now it is the only door open to the opportunity to head off poverty and want like unto that that grip ped the souls and hopes of agriculture just a few short years ago. Far be it from the duty of anyone to command a vote in favor of the bill, but in all earnestness we would cordially urge every farmer to consi der the problem for himself and not let the mis leading information offered by the bill oppo nents control his action on March 12. It's a Difficult Assignment f! mntrgymy over in Edgecombe Contv as to who was responsible for the filthy and immoral conditions alleged in a State sanitarian's report to have existed there during recent years. Once the responsi bility is saddled on a program or agency, that person or agency faces a difficult assignment. While it should be done, an inspector finds it difficult to close a place of business when the operator is trying to make a living. The close friends will rally too often to the support of a person who is directed to meet certain require ments even though that direction is timely and in order. Sanitary officers have been criticised, censored, condemned, fired and kicked out of their jobs just because they attempted to do their duty in protecting the health of the pub lic. The operator of a filthy eating establish ment should recognize the necessity of keeping it sanitary just as much so as he recognizes the necessity of keeping eggs and bacon in the re frigerator .If he is unable to meet these require ments he should step aside. And instead of hat ing the inspector, he should welcome him, for the inspector does not work to harm him, but rather he works to help him. The question of morals in the out-of-the-way places causes even more concern and offers a greater problem than the strictly eating places Officers have little or no power to close any place of business because parties patronize it and do questionable things. Once in a while, a business of that type can be ruled as a public nuisance, but if the issue is carried to court, the law is proved inadequate to handle it The people of Tarboro, Edgecombe, Martin or any other county hold about the only power to control those problems, and as long as they re main indifferent just so long will immoral con ditions exist not only in the "dumps" but also in the by-ways. It was in the last legislature that authorities in Martin County urged the passage of a certain bill empowering the officers of the county to exercise control over roadside dance halls, but that bill was never enacted into law.

Little Travels to HomesoftheGreat By H. B. O. Louise de la Rameo, who wrote under the pen name of "Ouida" was an Englishwoman of French extrac tion, born at Bury St. Edmonds in 1840. She wrote many novels, the one best known in this country be ing "Under Two Flags." She spent the last years of her life in Italy, the last home and refuge of poetry, "where so many peisuns of ability ami artistic temperament, attracted by the climate and wonderful scenery, go to live. She was very susceptible to beauty which made her success ful in her novels of Italian life. These novels are worked out against a background of romantic nature, and of places rich in traditions bf poetry and art. They are steeped in the magical air of the land which knew Petrarch and Raphael. They portray with sympathy, the gay, pensive, pas sionate, graceful Italian character. Not a few of Ouida's novels and stor ies will live because of the leaven of poetry in them. Their extravagance and meretricious one-sidedness are outweighed by their genuine percep tion of the noblest qualities of hu man nature, and by their recognition of the beautiful. In their character they approach the fairy tales which grown-up children cannot altogether do without. Ouida has for a long time been a favorite with children, because she can portray child-life with exquisite truthfulness, because children when left to themselves are primitive in thought and feeling, na tural in their emotions and direct in their expression of them. Because Ouida is a poet, she has the spirit of democracy, which belongs to poets and children, and too all child-like souls who have love in their hearts. She divides humanity into two classes?the good and the bad, the artificial and the natural. In one class she places children, peasants and poets, and about these three or ders she has woven her most beau tiful and tender romances. Ouida's intense temperament in duces her to deal in extremes, how ever, her exaggeration becomes re (reslunent, because she is enough of an artist to clothe her most daring excursions into the improbable with a realistic atmosphere. She is said to be at her best when writing of primitive nature. The peasant boy in "A Dog of Flanders," yearning to look upon the Christ of Rubens being a fine example. She has the poet's sympathy with nature, the poet's sensitiveness to beauty in every form, and will rank high among the masters of fiction for years to come.
