FAMINE TO DESTROY
GERMANY
We have reached a stage, person
ally, where we endorse the neutrality
of the Texan who proclaimed his neu- j
trality by declaring that he didn't
care who licked Hitler and, more
over, we don't care how it is accom
plished.
Raymond Leslie Buell, editor of the
Fortune Round Table, expresses our
sentiments when he says that the.
only means of saving this country
from active belligerency is to pro
vide aid that will enable the British
to withstand German onslaughts un
til bad weather sets in in September.
Because we agree with Mr. Buell
that this alone will prevent our na
tion from becoming actively involved,
we support his suggestions that the
United States sell 100 destroyers and
50 flying fortresses to Great Britain
and, if necessary, use naval convoys
to carry food to the British.
If this program is effective, he
thinks, a famine in Continental Eu
rope will "destroy the Nazi war ma
chine before the end of winter."
This prediction is in line with re
ports from London which declare
that Europe is facing a major famine,
that the plight of Germany is worse
than it was ever expected to be and
the countries overrun by the Nazis
are in a more serious condition. The
British expect an appeal from the
Germans for help from the world in
feeding starving millions and are
prepared to resist such an appeal on
the ground that if the people of Ger
many are starving it is because they
preferred "guns to butter."
FIVE CENT TAX LEVIED
IS ON THEATRE PASSES
The management of the Paramount
Theatre announces that in accordance
with the Federal Defense Tax, which
makes it necessary for theatres to
charge the amount of tax set by the
government on every admission, there
will be a 5c tax put on all passes
issued by this theatre.
Paramount Theatre,
Farmville, N. C.
BRIGHTENED
The National defense program has
brightened the domestic demand for
farm products, since increased in
dustrial production should mean larg
er consumer incomes during the last
half of this year.
Indo-China is greatly increasing
defenses, fearing Japan.

Vegetable Laxatiye
Has Important Points
Most people want a laxative to do
three things: (1) act punctually,
(2) act thoroughly, (S) act gently.
Here's one that usually fills all
three requirements when the easy
directions are.followed. It's an all
vegetable product whose principal
ingredient has medical recognition
as an "intestinal tonic-laxative."
That's the ingredient which en
ables BLACK-DRAUGHT to help
tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the
main reason for the satisfying re
lief from constipation that gener
ally follows next morning when
BLACK-DRAUGHT is taken at
bedtime. The millions of packages
used are proof of its merit,
