Just a few dayj ago it was rumored that Lon don had been bombed .The rumor had it that 120 airplane; had bombed the city, that right at 5,000 women and children were killed Pos sibly siimt expert anticipated a raid by 120 bomber and figure 1 that such a raid would kill 5.000 women and children The prediction put into words soon was in the progress of reality, and whet the rumor- reached the streets litre, the time and details wi re offered One stated he had heard some one say London had'been bombed, and so on down the line the horrible news traveled Even in those cases whine one asked if the rumors were true, the next fellow went on to explain, that London had. been bomb ed J- Apparently London has not bee bombed, but London, sun enough, is expecting to be bomb ed'. _? The rumor brought forth varied and bitter .comment. Trui facta, 'iimrc ^horrible that The false rumors, will be coming out of the war area before many more months are spent By the re action to the false reports, one can well guess what will follow when detailed and accurate ac counts of what is almost certain to come about begin reaching the ears of the American people Kitf Husini'sn B ?y* Economy has been sacrificed and efficiency lias been impaired by big business ways that call for an endless system of reports checks balances To maintain that system, the very end desired has been flaunted, and today re ports that no one will ever read are piling up in storage houses over the nation.

True 1 inlay Murcanton News-Herald. Woodrou Wilson must have soon this day twenty years ago. He must have looked into August ISt.'r'e when he said "The passions of the world are not dead; the rivalries of tin world have not cooled unless there is combined action before wrong is at tempted, wrong will be attempted just as soon a the most ambitious nations can recover from the financial stress of this war." "This is a war to make similar wars impos sible. merely to win this war and stop at that is to make certain that we shall have to light anolhei and a filial one." But tin hopes Wilson entertained then'were ?blasted by jealousies at home and petty poli tics Truly we trifled away everything we had thought to gain bv going into what has been known until the present as the "World War" We ore hoping (almost against hope) that this will not be aiiotln r. or second World War. The intent ion-and attitude of all the United States is to stay out ol any foreign war, but we may find ourselves rushed into a defensive conflict. There's no tilling what even the immediate fu ture holds. Men's war passions are flaming and our country is bound to'be scorched if not ac tuallv burned bv the fires of war. ^1 xrnnuttt ' I amour muft New 1940 EVROLET to*1* ** 'Chevrolet's FIRST Again ! Calls Attention To Simple Rules That Mav Save One's Life ??? Toliarco Marketing Srasun Greater Danger To Travel on Highways "Early reports from tobacco mar kets in Eastern North Carolina in dicate that a large number of farm | ers are hauling tobacco night and day." commented Ronald Hocutt, di rector of the North Carolina High l-way Safety Division today. "The safe transportation to the markets and the safe return home i.v something else that vitally con cerns every grower, in fact, every citizen in our state;," asserted Mr. Hocutt. "The records of the High way 54;?f.-Jv Division .jjlSClpSP ..that [ with the beginning of the marketing season automobile fatalities begin to increase, reaching the peak dur | ing this period. For instance in North j Carolina during July, 1938, 74 per sons were killed, August 84, Septem ber 105. October 144. Think of this, during the four months period, one person was killed every eight hours." I "I want to call attention to some very simple rules of driving that will save lives, injury and property damage in our state," said Hocutt. | it these Kirnph* rules are follow ed, and the principle of courtesy and sportsmanlike driving arc- applied, I j am sure," declared Mr. Hocutt, "the' marketing season will close with many people living and happy, that otherwise- may be numbered among our traffic casualties." "I sincerely urge every motor ve hicle operator and every pedestrian to observe the simple commonsense rules uf safety and thus aid in re ducing the terrible traffic slaughters j oh our highways," said Mr. Hocutt Drive at a speed you can control your car in case of an emergency under all weather and road eondi- i tipns (Excessive speed accounted for 244 fatal accidents, in 1938.) Drive carefully and with due re-" gard for others. Avoid weaving, zig zagging and cutting in and out of traffic lanes. (Reckless driving ac counted for 119 fatal accidents in 1938 P* Drive on the right side of the road (57 fatal accidents resulted from driving on the wrong side in 1938.) Obey all stop signs. When turning from a side road onto a highway wait until the highway is clear. A car coming at a rapid rate may be unable to stop before crashing. Be sure your lights are adequate If you stop along the highway park off the travelled part, if there is suf ficient room. If you drink, don't drive. ?Slow down at sun down. Night driving is more difficult due to poor \ islbilHy. Be sure your tires are good and have a good tread. If you use a trailer, be sure it is properly attached, and doi^'t over load Proper lights on your trailer will insure greater safety. When moving from one lane to an other or when turning off the high way be sure to signal your intentions to the driver behind. Value Of Turning Under Legumes An average growth of legumes turned under will add to the soil the equivalent of 500 to 750 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, or. 1,400 to 2.00U pounds of cottonseed meal," re ports Prof. C. B. Williams, head of the State College Agronomy De partment. This is substantially' true whether the seed are harvested or the entire plant turned under. "If legumes which have been in oculated are plowed under, the or ganic matter of the soil will be in creased by the tons of dry materials turned in, and the nitrogen by about 40 pounds for each ton of dry mater-1 ial (roots, stems, leaves, etc.) added to the soil," Prof. Williams explain ed. "This means an addition to the soil of the equivalent of 250 pounds of nitrate of soda, or about 700 pounds, of cottonseed meal, for each ton of dry material. A good average growth of legumes turned under should sup ply at least two or three tons of dry organic matter." The State College man cited the following results when legume crops are removed from the soil for hay or otherwise: The best that can be done would be to about maintain the original nitrogen reserves of the soil, and sustain a loss of the phosphoric acid and potash that would require, in the case of soybeans, applications of 50 pounds of 16 per cent super phosphate and 53 pounds of 50 per ceTit muriate of potash, for each ton of material removed.
