But with its favorable climate, its rolling hills, valleys and plains it does nut raise beef suitable to the palate of the population, according to the North Carolina Health Bulletin. The editor of the Bulletin recently said: The editor of The Health Bulletin was some what amazed recently as well as shocked out of his shoes to read an advertisement in a lo cal paper announcing the opening of a new market in Raleigh carrying only western meats for sale, meaning that the people of the Capi tal City. 46,660 of them, to say nothing of the six or seven thousand outside whom those in side want in so badly, can now buy their meats coming directly from Wisconsin, Kansas and Chicago and not defile themselves by eating western North Carolina beef and eastern North Carolina pork, the finest in the wide world, but can eat the westeriyneat and therefore do their part toward keeping the farmers and stock', raisers-in-North Carolina -from finding a mar ket for their home-grown livestock. As Raleigh has a rather large percentage of State employees Whose salaries are paid by the taxpayers of North Carolina and not bv those in Wisconsin and Kansas and Chicago, it does seem, as it is a fnrt that the local product when properly processed and marketed is far super ior and more desirable, that these State em ployees at least would prefer to trade with the people who pay their salaries. We have labored through these columns for a quarter of a century to urge the development of the livestock and dairying industry in this State as an aid to better health and prosperity for all of our people. Such items as this presents a discouraging picture. We have no objection to the interchange of manufactured goods or agricultural products throughout the whole country, but we do feel that everything e1s>. he. nig equal, the livestock and farming interests of this State should be encouraged in prefer ence to that of the northwest, when it would mean better health and more prosperity for thousands of our own citizens. -f /???' Uttrlr Reports have it that there is a flare-back to North Carolina's million-dollar advertising pro gram. Advised that this great State held the key to prosperity, beauty et cetera, tourists came into North Carolina in greater numbers. They were not disappointed in every respect, but it is apparent that they saw a great many bad things along with the good. It has been maintained that this State could gain even greater advertising by remedying those conditions that are observed by the trav eler and which leave a had taste in his mouth. The ill-housed thousands stare the traveler in the face. Little children, held out of school, wave a feeble hand in greeting to the fast-speed ing tourist. The record builded by this State in connection with its child labor is covered over with smutty cotton mill lint. The cheap road side eating joints are enough to turn the stom achs of the best constituted. It is apparent that we place no great value on cleanliness Yet, we boast-about "Southern cooking." The people of North Carolina enjoy having the stranger visit within their borders, but before they can expect repeat visitors in num bers, North Carolinians will have to do less boasting and get down to the facts. Some have said that North Carolina needs to advance an improvement program before shouting about something they haven't got. The first year of the current war as it draws to a close has been a trying one for the column ists and commentators. These writers with some exceptions, of course, have enjoyed the luxury of modern life as it was found in the elite circles, in the night club and in the places far removed from the everyday struggle in life, that they have proved to be little more than wash-outs once the test came. It was simple for them to write from behind a cocktail glass, tell about imaginary things and predict things that were forgotten before the prophecy was tested. The rapidly changing world has left them perched on a limb with their writings obsolete before they could be reduced to print. Just a few weeks before the war, some predicted there would be no war. Anyone was subject to make the same mistake, but no one but the all-star news analysist boasted he had a corner on predestination and could call the events weeks or months in ad vance. It has been open season on the big columnists who would lead the reader to believe that they could do a better job running the country than Mr. Roosevelt has done and is doing. These past eleven months have proved a great deal of things. One of those things is that the back woods philosopher who knows what is right and what is wrong is to be listed to rather than the insignificant egotist who was trained in and has his being in the hifaluting club life of Fifth Avenue. Another thing that has been proved in the past eleven months is that no one knoWs what the next day or even the next hour will bring. If those birds, including one Hugh Johnson, were to stop trying-to tell how smart they think they are and settle down to a sane program of facts and figures with conscientious comment they might possibly earn half what they are robbing their employer6\}f. It is getting to be tiresome in following those guys who would ram something down the peoples' throat and telling them to believe it is good medicine. The egotistical bunch has not in a single case admit ted that it is best to leave the affairs of this na tion up to those best acquainted with the facts; each of them would have us believe that he has the only solution to the problem as it re lates to world affairs on down to the hog pas ture in Powdunk Hollow. r The Danger Zone Spread? Surely the army and navy nffpr no safe ref ugee, but those who think enlistment or con scription will mean sure death on a field of battle have not considered all the facts as they - present- themselves today. This notion sent two million men to Europe 23 years ago. The num ber killed in battle was small as compared with the auto death toll in this nation. Today the danger zone has been extended and the pressure has been relieved certainly for the soldier. The danger zone now surrounds the home where innocent babes sleep, where the aged lie helpless and where civilization has its foundation first and last. When war is mentioned today, attention cen ters on the man in uniform, but the bare stories as told bv th^ealistic camera claim attention for inurdercit and children in the streets, of an undefended town bombed by the enemy. It is sickening to see .young men march off to wai It is even more sickening to see bodies of little children torn and strewn on the ground after the enemy has rained death down upon defenseless homes, towns and cities. i Big Ah*ft In the purchase of and planned operation of the large peanut plant formerly owned by the Columbian Company by local interest, this sec tion recognizes the creation of a valuable as set to the farming interests especially those who grow peanuts. The very fact that the plapt remained idle during a greater part of last season possibly prompted the purchase of the properties by the local interests who were interested in something more than a profit motive. They saw an opportunity to help the community, and while their venture into the business is certain to help others, the purchasers and operators of the plant will have to battle against keen com petition to meet a varied expense and earn for themselves a margin of profit that will offset investment and depreciation. Messrs. N. C. Green, Jesse Whitley and G. H Harrison are to be commended for their ef forts in restoring to this community an asset that is certain to prove of value to peanut far mers and labor in particular and to the com munity in general. I have often said that all the misfortunes of men' spring from their not knowing how to live quietly at home, In their own rooms. ? Pascal. Turnage Theatre ? Washington, N. C.

H SMITH Tartar. Baptist Church This morning in the dining room of the George Reynolds Hotel I saw a young man sifting at a table with his head bowed and his hand rest ing over his brow. I do not know that he was praying while he was sit ting there waiting for his breakfast but the very minute 1 saw him in that prayerful posture I found my self saying: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in TViy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeem er." A few minutes later over the radio a group of Negroes were sing ing about getting on their knees in prayer to God and the song closed with: "Lord, have mercy on my soul." It is most fitting that we grateful ly bend over our plates before we eat. Children learn quickly to bow their heads and pray when their parents begin the meal with a brief pause in worship. When a mother at the table says, "Bow your head and close your eyes," she is giving the child one of his first lessons in reverence to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. And there are times when we should get down on our knees in communion with our heavenly Fa ther. Of course we can pray without getting 011 our knees, but kneeling seems to make us more humble, or, perhaps when we are more humble we want to kneel for prayer. It has been said that Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint on his knees. In this dark hour for the na tions of the earth may the Holy Spir it put it in our hearts to be much in prayer. . Let prayer mean action as well as communion in a quiet, secret place Let us pray without ceasing and work without tiring for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. Lord, teach us to pray. "Ask and ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Ask .of me and I shall, give thee the heathen for thine inheri tance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psalm 2j8. > NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina.
