I imlilit; ^hrlliT ill ii Sliirni F.lkin Tribune As comment continued concerning the Presi dent's proposed revision of the neutrality laws. Vice President Jack Garner is quoted as say ing: "The people have confidence 111 the Presi dent and the way he is conducting the foreign affairs of the country They believe in him and think he has done the right things." Mr Gar ner promptly comes to the President's viewpoint on the arms embargo, and in this very emphatic way. It must have required a great deal of effort for Mr Garner to admit openly that "the peo ple have confidence in the President." for he has been definitely instrumental in undermin ing that confidence in late months since the pres idential bee stung him and made hint forget this significant and noble utterance in his 19J6 acceptance speech: "Franklin Roosevelt is my leader, my com mandcr-in-chief In thi:; presence, before this multitude, and with the stars of heaven to bear witness to my covenant, I renew the pledge of fealty I gave four years ago .1 am a soldier, and my duty is to follow where my eommandei leads . 1 em enlisted for the duration." It is barely possible that Mr. Garner senses the advantage of drawing closer to Mr. Roose velt as the 1940 choosing draws nearer Mr. Gar ner knows his political onions, and which side of the bread is buttered, and if burying the hatchet could result in his being the White House favorite next year. Cactus Jack is pre pared to give it a mighty heft. But Mr Garner is not the only one who has a fingei on the public pulse Senator George, of 4kwgta. whose vote defl ated even considera tion of the law that Congress now is ready to enact, has teversed himself and has a comfort able seat on the band wagon. Whereas last July he wa effectively opposing any monkey ing with the neutrality legislation, he is now eunvniced that it is positively necessary. Senator George's friends are patting him on the back for being big enough to aeknowledge that )?? was wrong, admittedly an evidence of ; bigness, but many there are who will remain i convinced that his opposition last July was prompted by his peeve against the President for the lattcr's "purge'" activities, and 'that his a bout-fact' on the neutral ilv issue sterns I mm t he kiiowledg that lie wa: out on a limb with pub i-n?sr-ntrrronl -wa1vmjTTTTT axe In I Tru/> It taki a fellow who has followed tin plow and experienced the hard labor around a farm to sum up in a few words baffling situations that present themselves from time to time A Cross Roads farmei sums up the present tobacco situation with a little story in which a rat and a mouse figure It reads something like tins; _i'.Hiding a small moiee caught hy a leg in a trap, the tat came along and asked the trap vic tim il the cheese was wanted The mouse replied m an emphatic tone that he was more interest ed in getting out ol th< liap at the time, that he would have a better chance to get the cheese later on. V . Farmers now are in a trap, so to speak, and it is reasonable to think and urge that their first attention would be to get out of that trap, to sell at a fair price the more than OIK) million pounds of tobacco on then hands right now, and sincerely work and hope for the best anoth er \ eat . Kurtil / ('/('/(/khic l.ine Lor Sale Hertford C.ounty Herald. From tin advertisenient published in the Her ald two weeks ago We learn that the New Kra Telephone Company, owned by J W Godwin, a pioncei resident of Ahoskie who is retiring from business beeause of age and ill-lit tilth, is offered for sale What this rural telephone sys teni is worth from the standpoint of investment. we do not attempt to evaluate As a means of communication for u large portion of rural Hertford County howrver. it is worth a great deal As the latter, for tlx benefit of many ru ral residents of Hertford County who would lie completely deprived of telephone service with out it. we hope that the New Kra system finds a purchaser and operator who will earrv on, improve and extend this rural telephone sys tem. Hertford county is badly 111 need of better and more telephone service in its rural areas. The corporation which operates the major sys tem that serves this area is wholly and woeful ly inadequate in tie. field In the rural field, the small New Kra company with its old-fash ioned and scanty equipment, performs a much greater service for the rural public than the hig. toll-conscious, monopolistic utility which rather than extending its lines to rural districts dis continues them whenever possible Evidently content with the high dividends earned on their properties which have a monopoly on the serv ice in the towns of this area and sitting pretty with the income from a inultieiplieity of toll Charges on tails between these communities, the company feels no need to increase the num ber of telephone subscribers and makes no ef fort to extend its lines1 into rural areas. As a consequence, there are large areas of Hertford County and other counties of the Roanoke-Cho wan area that are denied telephone service. l ot this reason we hope that the New Era lint- will find a purchaser who will give to its continued operation and extension the same enterprise arid initiative as its founder, in or der that the people may not be denied the ser vice which ibis pioneer local citizen made possi ble for them to enjoy.

Finds Solution To Economic Troubles Five or six years ago a motor mag nate said greater balance between in dustry and agriculture would help to ( end our economic troubles. As is j well known, the motor magnate has done much research along this line i utilizing soy beans as a basic mater- ' ial in automobile manufacture. Out in Akron. Ohio, recently was found plenty of evidence that the rubber j industry, too, is bringing the farmer and manufacturer closer together. Of all farm implements built this year, 85 per cent roll on pneumatic tires, which permit great savings in time and costs of doing farm work. Ten years ago steel wheels were in uni versal use. E\&en milk-wagon horses now walk on rubber horseshoes, al though the cast iron variety is still to,)s for pitching quoits behind the barn New applications of rubber in milking machines and creamery hose are eliminating hitches in dairy production. The DeKalk Agricultur al Association of Lafayette, Ind., re ports success with rubber rollers, made by the Akron-developed "vul colock" process, for removing ex cess husks and silk from cobs of seed corn. ?
