With Dr. Saliba's oiler to as
sume the outstanding obliga
tions of the Pasquotank Munici
pal Hospital definitely with
drawn, with the doctor's rent on
his property underwritten for a
period of two years, and with
those who h|ive underwritten
the rent: The Advance under
sjUnds, meeting the obligation
that the.v._have voluntarily as
sumed cheerfully and promptly,
there wotfld seem to be no reas
on for -further doubt about the
continued operation of the hos
pital as a community institution.
/ TheAdvnnra hnn?no trtficttti
i?intlffiation of it, but it occurs to
) this newspaper that one of the
first steps in order, after the
amending of the hospital's char
ter so as to insure the institu
tion's remaining always under a
management in sympathy with
- the community hospital idea,
will be to call on subscribers
who have not paid in stock
pledged when the Community
Hospital was opened, to make
good their pledges. This news
paper sees no reason why, with
continued community operation
assured, there should be any
further hesitation about meeting
this obligation. And so this sug
gestion is ventured in the hope
that those who have subscribed
to stock but have not paid their
pledges may lie prepared to do
so promptly at the next call.
The Old Gold Brick
To us the most amazing thing
in American political history is|
the manner that the Republican
party has been able to sell the
tariff gold brick to the farmers.
TM? "(toe matter of the wheat
cro^ -.fhis year's crop is ex
pected jto exceed eight hundred
million-bushels. 'TtYe estimated;
cftlrry-over from last year is a
hundred and thirty million bu-j
shels, making available next fall
around one billion bushels which
is two hundred million bushels
more than the probable homei
and export demand.
Yet the great Republican
party solemnly enacted a tariff
on wheat as an emergency meas
ure to help the fanners and
then followed up with ? full tar
iff schedule in the McCumber
bill. This is nil, except the fact
that Western farmers go right
on voting the ticket.
The American Farm Federa
tion Bureau now proposes that
the Government foster a holding
company to take the surplus off
the market and hold it over next
year in order to raise the pricG
from the present and prospec
tive figure to a dollar and a half
a bushel.
If the farmers could ever
learn that the whole tariff busi
ness so far as they are con
cerned is pure bunk it would be
the most prosperous day's work
in their history for it would re
ault in taking the restrictions
off of the commerce of this coun
try and opening the world to us
?a trade field that would never
go dry.?Goldsboro .News.

, The Advance hasn't been
.made a bit envious by Editor
'Sam Farabee's rhapsodies on
the weather in Western North
jCarolina. So far this summer
nights down here on the Pas
quotank have been more pleas
ant than those the editor expe
rienced at Shelby last July. But
'tother day when we saw in a
Saturday's issue of the Hickory
Record a full page advertise
ment headed "The Land of the
Sky" why we just naturally
couldn't help wishing that this
section could brag on its real es
tate in the substantial way they
do up in Catawba.
i "Two Negroes Drown in Pas
quotank County" headlines the
| News and Observer. And then
[one reads the item only to dis
cover that the alleged drowning
took "pfttce-Luac reek near Bath.
What sort of aiTStlea have those
News and ObserveiNboys about
Pasquotank County amvay? Do
they think it's a creek or some
thing, or do they imagine it in-1
eludes everything north of the
Pamlico River and west of the
Dismal Swamp?

states that bananas "are a rarity

"Oh, yes, we have no bananas"
originated, now.

; shipbuilding yards seem to have
safely weathered the post-yar trade
{depression and are entering upon a
period of comparative prosperity.
i?ays the Scandinavian Shipping Ga
zette.
The yards have come through the
crisis very well, principally owing to
the consolidation policy which has
been followed. With the placing of
new orders, the yards are able to
work more or less independently
again. They are all busy, and a few
of them are booked up. Unemploy
ment has benefited accordingly.
The yard workers, earlier In the
year, voluntarily agreed* to reduc

possible for the yard shipbuilders to
