Airplanes And War Munitions Gaining Over Farm Exports Tobuceo Shipments Show A Decrease of Seventy Per Cent Washington. D. C. ? Though the war in Europe has stimulated the ex port of airplanes and war materials, it has drastically cut down the ex port of farm products from the United States. Tobacco, fruits and grains have been hardest hit; ex ports of pork and lard are below nor mal years; and even cotton exports, which had been up, "have declined recently" according to the Depart ment of Agriculture. Trade sources report, however, that U. S. aluminum exports show an increase of 323 per cent during the first five months of the war as com pared with the same period last year, aircraft 194 per cent, iron and steel products 89 per cent. Tobacco exports have dropped 70 per cent during this same period; wheat is down 40 per cent, and corn is down 30 per In the previous World War, it is pointed out that factors adversely affecting our agriculture did not be gin to occur until the third year of hostilities, but in the present war they have already put in an appear ance. The reason for the difference is that techniques of control which were worked out only after years of experience in the last war were ap plied at the very beginning of the present combat. Thus the Anglo-French Coordinat ing Committee was set up on Novem ber 17, 1939 to secure "raw mater ials at favorable prices" and to avoid competition in purchases from coun tries other than the two empires. Ar ? angements for mutual allocation of products in case of shortage have been entered into. These agreements were not reached until the third year of the first World War. Reports from both England and France- indicate that rationing and other restrictive measures have been applied to home consumption. The people are being forced "to tighten their belts.'* i'anners'areTSequIrSJTo" increase production; wages have been cut and hours increased; compulsory labor for women is now being in voked; and comprehensive systems for licensing imports have been ap plied. No prospect for an increased demand for U. S. farm imports is foreseen. OK. V. H. MEWBORN 1 OPTOMETRIST Please Note Date Changes Robersonville office, Scott's Jew elry Store. Tuesday.

Interesting Bits Of Business In the U.S. Folks whose main acquaintance with Argentina stems from having seen that movie of some years ago, The Gaucho?(South?American?for cowboy) will be amazed to hear the South American country's Industrial Union's report that two-and-a-half times as many persons are employ ed in industry there as in agriculture . . . And in value of products, indus try is nearly four times as much as agriculture . . The trade believes that there won't be more reductions for a while in silk hosiery prices, in spit of the new sharp drop in raw silk prices?but maybe a few months later there will .

A Year of Action Results in The Old North State's 'Clean Up or Close Up" Campaign Twelve month* ago the North Carolina beer industry went into action to commence weeding out those relatively few beer retailer* who, by practice* unbecoming good citizens, tended to bring reproach on the great law-abiding majority. "Clean Up or Close Up" wa? the ulti matum issued them and we feel that our action results speak for themselves. To date, 78 beer licenses have been revoked?revoked because 78 beer dealers used their licenses to shield illegal activities. Thus are being removed the bad spots that, left alone, would smear the repu tation of the thousands who operate within the bounds of decency and ethical business conduct. As a new year begins, this committee states anew it* determination to carry forward aggressively its now well-established program . . . and asks continuance of your alertness to patronize only decant, reputable beer outlets.
