NEW FARM HILL
We don't know just what the results of
the new Farm Dill,, recently enacted by Con
gress as a .'substitute for the AAA will be, but
it is to be hoped tlie plan will serve to maintain
"living prices" for the products of the farm.
The purpose of the plan, we are told, is to re
tire from '2! to 30 million acres of farm lands
with the view of production control and .main
taining high prices.
Despite the charges of inequalities in allot
ments under the AAA, the farmers generally
cooperated with the plan, believing it to their
best interest to do so. That the farming in
dustry generally benefitted from the controlled
acreage and production there can be no doubts.
It resulted in higher prices than had prevailed
for several years, and the higher prices reflect
ed themselves in business generally.
The new Farm Iiill was passed by both
houses of Congress by overwhelming majori
ties, the Tar Heel delegations voted unanimous
ly for it. While voicing doubt that it will prove
as effective as the AAA, the North Carolina
members of Congress expressed themselves as
having faith that the new plan is constitutional
and that it will prove beneficial. In fact, some
of them went so far as to declare they thought
it represented the maximum that Congress can
do with its constitutional powers.
We do know that the matter of supply and
demand governs to a large degree the prices
paid for farm produce; that a small crop always
brings more money to the producers than a
bumper crop. Everybody admits that is true,
and the hope is that the farmers of the nation
will continue to co-operate in production con
trol. The plan was worked out by farm leaders,
with the idea of first helping the farmers, know
ing that if it works to the best interest of the
farmers all will benefit. -Sampson Independent.
WHAT'S A BILLION?
Speaking in terms of billions has become
usual of late, hut few of us stop to think how
much a billion is. The following figures in this
connection, carried in a recent issue of The
Monroe Enquirer, is interesting. Says the En
quirer: "If you were to count silver dollars at the
rate of 90 a minute, working 10 hours a day
and 300 days a year, it would take you nearly
62 years to count $1,000,000,000. In other
words,' if you' were to begin counting at this
rate on your twenty-first birthday, you would
be almost 83 years old by the time you finished
your first billion. Work it out for yourself.
Sixty times $90 would give you $5,400 an hour.
Ten times that would give you $54,000 a day and
300 times that would give you $16,200,000
counted in a year's time. Dividing 16,200,000
into 1,000,000,000 would give you 61.72, or the
Dumber of years required to count one billion."
ADVERTISING
"Advertising took oatmeal out of the bar
rel in which mice slept and placed it in clean
packages. So it did to prunes and pickles. It
took the orange from the coe of the Christmas
stocking, and made it a nation's fruit food. It
made the public finicky about the kind of bread
it bought. It put dresses on the market and
tock away the uncertainty of what to wear.
Advertising raised the standards of living in
millions of homes,
"What made a nation drink tomato juice
and ask for canned pineapple? What made
the people want canned soups and freshly bak
ed crackers and cookies in packages? Surely
not by making better cakes, cookies and crack
ers than anyone else but by first making good
foods and then telling the stigmatic world about
it in type and picture. But to get back to our
mutton this time the sheep is Tugwell. He
would go back to the days of the town crier
if to anything at all."
The above two paragraphs quoted from the
Janesville paper give an idea of the drift of
the article.
How any merchant can argue about adver
tising is beyond us, in the face of such facts as
listed above. More potent arguments can be
found nearer home. There are firms in Gas
tonia which have been made by advertising,
and nothing else. They have out-stripped their
competitors because they believe in advertising
and have practiced it. Their record since com
ing to Gastonia proves that. There is no other
way to account for it. They will tell you so.
And yet there are merchants who will
argue to the advertising solicitor that adver
tising does not pay. We have only to point them
to certain well established firms and stores
which have exploded that idea long ago. There
are two kinds of values, says the Janesville
paper, that which is inherent in the article and
the mind value. Mind value is the thing which
makes two women argue over the respective
merits of cheese, fur coats, or flowers. Adver
tising impresses on the mind the certain things
in life that may please. There would be no
national distribution of a thousand items of
merchandise if it were not for advertising.
What advertising has done for shaving
creams, toilet soaps, razor blades, tooth paste,
shirts, collar-,, shoes, it can do for anv merchan
dise and any business. Gastonia Gazette.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS ?
Let us turn back the pages of history for
a glimpse of personal hygiene.
Peter, the Hermit, who recruited the first
Crusade, thanked God 'that water had not
touched his body in 40 years.
Queen Isabella, of Spain, boasted that she
had had but two baths in her life one when
she was born and the other when she married
Ferdinand.
A copv of a 200-vear-old college catalogue
of a school in France for daughters of the no
bility reveals the following:
"Pupils are entitled to have one set of
underwear, one pair of stockings, and two hand
kerchiefs per month. Towels pupils, one every
week; nuns, one every two weeks. Foot baths
pupils, one a month; nuns, only by special
authorization of the Superior. Complete baths
three a year (May, June, July)."
The American bath is credited to L. P.
Hurtling, of Baltimore, in 1830, but was redis
covered and brought to the limelight twelve
years later by Ad Thompson.; This aroused
such interest that staunch old Massachusetts,
ever eager to guard her citizens against any
newfangled contraption, passed a law which
provided that if a person wished to bathe more
than once a week, a doctor must certify that he
needed it and was capable of standing it. The
law, we are told, was not repealed until 1856.
Philadelphia once had a law forbidding
bathing between November 1 and March 15.
Old Hickory, Andrew Jackson, threw Dolly
Madison's tin tubs and water-heater out of the
White House, on the ground that they were
offensive to common people. Waterworks Engineering.
SEVEN MISTAKES OF MAN
There are seven mistakes of life that many
of us make, said a famous writer, and then gave
the following list:
1. The tendency to worry about things that
cannot be changed or corrected. ''"'.
2. The delusion that individual advance
ment is made by crushing others down.
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible be
cause we our selves cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences,
in order that important things may be accom
plished.!; . .,' -';.
5. Neglecting development and refinement
of the mind and not acquiring the habit of read
ing and study.
6. Attempting to compel persons to believe
and live as we do. 1
7. The failure to establish the habit of sav
ing money. Harvey Holleman.
