YET, MANY BEGGED FOH BREAD
People clamored to get on government pay
rolls last year. They begged for bread, yet
there must have been a considerable lot of
money spent, since recent statistics show
mat America s liquor bill last year amounted
to five billion dollars.
That a.raost equaled fifty per cent of the
nation's food bill.
Last year the nation spent $15.33 per capita

The per capita liquor bill was $38.68.
The people of the United States spent more
than twice as much for alcoholic beverages
as they did for education.
Nor is that the entire Drice naW hv fh
citizens of America for liquor, for many of
inose wno Dougtit and drank it paid other
puces, too great for any monetary valuation.
r cr to wie nnal cost of liquor must be added
the part that is played in the increase of
crime, in accidents involving life and prop
erty, in sickness, in waste, and in time lost.

THE LOYALTY CRUSADE
We wish to extend our hearty support to
the churches and their pastors, that are work
ing with sincerity to put across the ten weeks
loyalty crusade.
Of late years many persons, who have been
brougnt up to attend cnurch regularly, iiave
grown careless and often appeared indiffe
rent to the spiritual side of life.
This seems an appropriate time of the year
in whicn to araw tne people to the church.
The start of any new year, offers a clean sheet,
and is often the time of taking stock, not only
of our business, but should be of our souls.
To give one hour each Sunday morning,"
"to put first Things first" i3 an invitation that
should not be sagnted by any serious mind
ed person in Haywood County.
WE CAN HELP THE FINNS
. The sad plight of Finland today makes us
recall the incident back in 1933 when this
country suggested reducing the war debt
owed us by t inland. But on the grounds
that "it was a just and honest debt," Finland
declined to have the payment reduced.
In memory of the incident our sympathy
goes odt to this nation at the present time.
It is not necessary for us to be involved in
the present war in order to help the Finns.
We have an opportunity of showing the
respect we have for their integrity and our
sorrow over conditions now existing among
her people by making gifts througn the Red
Cross.
A local campaign now under the chairman
ship of J. R. Boyd is making a drive for funds
to send to Finland.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP
W. Roy Francis, the capable assistant dis
trict attorney for the Western Federal court

It is said that the keenest and most wide

,.as ueen raging all over the British
iMiipire since the King closed his "globe-circling"
Christmas Day broadcast to his people
thus (which appeared in an editorial in this
paper last week) :
'T said to a man who stood at the gate of

j , eiuara anaw' H- G- Wells, and learn-
