JUNE 1. 193: 01 U VOl'Ni; MEN The appointment of Mr. Jack Mcs.-er as Superintendent of Education of this county - n last Wednesd another young man to the growing list of young men that seems to he taking over the county government. We doubt if there is another county in North Carolina that has as many young men taking charge of the county affairs as Hay wood County. It seems that there has not been just a change made in the ranks, but most of the changes have been given over to young men. This is by no means a reflection on the older men who have faithfully and etliciently held these places for years, but it is in keeping with the general trend of the times to place responsi bility on young men. At this point we might mention some of our young men now holding important positions in our county, who are still in their twenties. On the board of commissioners there is Frank Davis. I he register ot deeds, Edwin Havnes; the recently appointed coroner, Di J, 11. West moreland : and the superintendent of education. Jack Mcs-. r. Not only. in the county officials ranks do, we rind young men gradually gaining in num bers, but- in the business field of the county we have scores of young men still in their twenties, or just passed twenty, who aie 'making for theniselvv.s outstanding records that a few years ago the older folks would have said would have been impossible. We can look over the list of names men tioned above' and trace back in each instance and find that perhaps the reason the young men are holding the positions they have today is chiefly because of the' guidance and experience they, gained from their parents and other rela tives who have lived and are still living useful lives, although some have passed on. their in fluence and teachings remain with us. THE GENT S OF GREED Once upon a time, according to a (Jerm.'m proverb, a dog crossed a. bridge over a .-tream. carrying a piece of meat in his mouth. As he went across the bridge he saw hi reflection r. the water and thinking it was another dog wit h a piece of meat in his mouth, he. dropped in the stream the piece he held, and dived into, the, water to get the piece he thought the other dog . had. Conseueiiily he lost his meat. ' . Creed in dog or man causes bitter loss. It, has caused nVaiiy to lose a good posit ion, a goi-d reputation, "a good friend, a good physique, a good home' and all else worthwhile. (Jived causes one. to snatch at others and lose what they already have. Tnrou gn greed Napoleon, lost his country, and so: did. Kaiser Wiihehn. The liar' snatches at another's reputation and loses his own. The thief snatches at anoth er's purse and loses his liberty; ami the. respect of the public. This may be because the avari cious may believe others onlv to be a reflection of themselves. The really worthwhile person is not willing to be iust like others: lie recognizes his own reflection and can tell others in their petty greeds, strife and narrow meanness. He follows a really high ideal. A shepherd dog feels himself above the common cur, and so he is. A real individual knows self to be above the ordinary run of man kind who wears a false mask. A shepherd dog is valuable in the community. So, also, is the real individual. Selected. Millie, a well-known mule, is sold to a livery stable in Chicago after traveling all over the United States with a grand opera company that sang "Pagliacci" and "The Juggler of Notre Dame." Millie won endless appreciation by -dragging her cart faithfully, through many a high-pitched scene and never once snatching the lead away from the prima donna. FIVE BILLION The United States prepares to spend more than five billions to bring 'about normal employ, ment, normal industry, normal buying and sell ing. The sum is the total of appropriations passed or on the way. The R. F. C. is authoriz ed t . loan or invest $430,000,000 on farm loan banks, home-owners corporation and irriga tor, and utilize S3uu.000.OUO in general finance perations.

And, more yc-t. $1.9u0.OU0.ufio will come for relief, being absorbed by state grants, conservation crops, farm and home mortgages A great nation ues its almost immeasurable power to lift it J;' back into its stride. OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACE President Roosevelt has flung to the na tions of the world the olive branch and laid down a challenge for universal peace. The re sponse to his bold and direct plea for disarma ment, by abolishing the weapons of aggression, and agreeing to keep their military forces with in their own borders, and to fight only in self defense, has been amazing. His unprecedented record-smashing move is akin to that of the angel who once proclaimed, at the birth of th "Prince of Peace," "peace on earth, good will towards men." Come now, nations of the world and show your faith by your works and acts. It is the nearest that has come to that peace so devoutly hoped for in many decades. The president's bold stand and direct statement of objects aimed at, has given the entire world a sigh of relief and encouraged hope that there is a prospect of the cessation of wars. (,od grant this consummation ! It is significant that the United States has taken the leading step in this much desired amity throughout the world. Some of the major nations may acquiese, and. others may conditionally, and some may stand hands off. 1 ne results are vet to be seen. Hut it gives hope that peace is to be discussed more than wars; that the United States is for universal peace, and our banners are flying in the Christ ian way of living among the nations of the world. All honor to the President who is faithfully carrying out all promises for the good of this nation, and all others. Mo.rganton News-Herald. FIGURE IT OUT Here is a little problem in simple arithme tic for you: n have two piles of dollars. You have .been spending from one of them, and it is grow ing alarmingly small. So vou stop spending from it, and take the dollars from the other pile instead. . This, you say, is economy, and reduction of expenses. Absurd as this problem is, it is no more absurd than the antics of our legislative bodies in the matter of taxes. They, shift a tax from one class of -property to another thus taking 1 lie money from "different piles"- and call it tax reduction. TYr 'government, as for an .in-, dividual, there is but one way to reduce taxes -spend less money. Fx. THE FARMERS FIRST In the background of all revival of busi ness 'ami industry stands. the American farmer who must first be put on his feet. ' That is pri marily and basic. . And none is more aware of that fundamental fact than the President who.; has et out to bring restoration to agriculture heat, corn, cotton, milk, beef, the pro-, ducts of the farm, elemental commodities, must sell lor higher prices before the farmer can be revived. When these articles are under the spell of deflation, the farmer can not pay interest and taxes nor buy stioes, clothes, cars and other essentials. When the farmer who represents more than half of the population of America is thus throttled, the merchant cannot sell, the manufacturer can not produce, hence no labor can be hired. When that happens, the whole social and economic fabric1 becomes involved in the break down. Every thread in this fabric heads back and is tied into the man behind the plow. lie never goes down that he doe's not pull every body else with him. And, similarly, when he rises he carries everybody with him. If the farm legislation enacted putting plenary powers in the executive's hands to help work out the agricultural redemption of the Nation succeeds, the first essential step will have been taken toward national recovery.
