WAR CLOUDS LOOMING UPON
TUB WORLD HORIZON
China, Japan and Russia, with a
band of American soldiers sandwich
,.4d in between, are now at war. China
ami Japan in actual state of war,
f with Russia jon the edga in such
. jjocitiou that she^can do nothing -but
"fall in."
How many other nations will be
dragged into the awful meelee, none
but God alone knows. This uncivil
ized. un-Christian world of ours is a
p:^blem. The thin veneer of our
civilization, and thin indeed, it is, is
ab.ut to be peeled off once again,
leaving its inhabitants exposed in all
ot" their naked state of barbarism.
The world is made up of nations,
and nations are made up of commun
ities, and the spirit of the communi
ty, therefore, ' is the spirit of the
world. War at a distance looks hor
rible to use, yet our community war
fare, right at home in our several
communities, go on and on, unnoticr
ed and unimpressive. Big conflicts
have their beginning in the little com
munity squabbles; big warlords grow
from the little community bosses
There is a direct line of march from
the strutting little spud of a local boss
to the decorated warlord in national
conflicts. The bigger wars where
Mothers' boys are fed to the god of
war will never cease until the little
local wars cease. There is no need
to pray for world peace so long as
community warfare rages. The place
to begin is with the individual, then
the community, then state or prov
ince, then the nation, and of course
the world will then be safe for such
awful conflicts as that about to be
gin over yonder in the Far East.
Mothers in all the nations of the
world are looking with more tender
ness upon their young sons, wonder
ing if they will be called to the
battlefield. Fathers sit and wonder,
lost in gloomy thought, hoping against
hope that something will happen to
stop this awful thing that is about
to become a world affair.
In these bitter thoughts and heart
breaking reflections it would be well
for us to remember that one great
fact ? Big Wars come from Little
Wars, and there would be no Big
Wars if there were no Little Wars.
The way to have world peace is first
to have community peace.
LET'S GET BACK TO
RAISING BEEF C ATT LB
The Waynesville Mountaineer and
The Canton Enterprise have been
tfJJing in recent issues of the car
load after carload of cattle being
shipped from Haywood - unty to the
markets of the world, i ?e amounts
of money have been pouring into the
pockets of the farmers ;;nd stock
men of that county.
The Marshall News-Record now
comes along with the statement that
"More than S-12,000 worth of cat
tle have already been sold in Madi
son county, and adds the fertile just
ified boast that the season is not
yet ended, and many more carloads
will be shipped from old Madison
county.
Neither of those counties are as
well adapted to stock raising -as
Transylvania county. Some of the
older citizens here recall the days
when car load after car load of cat
tle were shipped from this county,
and in those days the farmers had
money, and plenty of ft.
These mountain ranges ought to
be turned free for stock ranges
Thousands of acres of land lie with
in this county's borders that would
provide range for numberless cattle
to roam and grow fat, thereby being
prepared for market at the least pos
sible cost to the owners.
Let's get back to stock raising,
like the men of old raised stock here
and shipped jt away, receiving in
return much new money from out
side sources.

subsequent to hhMday, all hymns had
