Reading a book on a subject is not
to become an expert on the subject.
One good thing about the advice
that editors pass out, nobody has to
take it.
The finest sermons are seen, not
heard; they live in the lives of men
and women.
World trade, if it ever returns to
normal, ought to be a blessing to all
peoples.
China has been fighting Japan for
three years; here's good luck to the
Chinese.
There are those who believe in
democracy only when the majority is
on their side.
Some people think they become ex
perts on any subject if they read a
book about it.
Misrepresentation flourishes be
cause there are fools who believe
anything they hear.
A woman is busy when she hasn't
time to attend a party, or a bridge
game.
In the present world a volunteer
system is about as out of date as the
bow and arrow.
Japan is about to extend the peace
of the Pacific by gobbling the Dutch
East Indies.
If human beings knew half what
they think they know the world
would be much better.
If this country ever gets into a war
it should not depend upon the French
policy of defense.
Never pay any attention to politi
cal gossip that must be peddled in
whispers and on a basis of confidence.
I
Practically every big busing j man
can tell you why his industry should
be exempt from the war profits tax.
Low interest, we think, is destined
to be the rule in this nation and it is
a good thing for the average citizen
Just about the time that the aver
age man in Farmvilie learns to get
along with his fellow-man, he dies.
;-p
Advertising is like fishing; you
must use the right bait at the right
place and at the right time to ex
pect results.
You can sometimes persuade a man
who is interested in the truth; you
can do nothing with the man who
knows it.
(
One trouble with a vacation is that
you lose so much time, after you get
back-home, .recuperating from the
vacation.
We cannot recall where compul
sory military service, during the
World War, caused the death of
American liberties.
' I
World power, we suspect, in future
years will belong to the nation that
has the warships to deliver the heavi
est- broadside.

The United States will he able to
boast of prosperity when workers re
port increased pay without requests
to the management.
The only rival to war communi

TRAINED HEN FOR *
DEFENSE.
Arms are worthless unless a na
tion has trained men to use tfc<
machines of war. :
I The 110,000,000,000 that the Unit
led States is spending to secure thi
[national defense means nothing un
[leas, at the same time, the natioi
| trains enough men to handle th<
[guns, etc., that may be needed.
The bill now before Congress U
[provide for a limited selective ser
vice draft is designed to assure ar
[adequate supply of trained soldiers
[it is, in our opinion, better than nc
[such statute although not as broac
[in its application as it should be.
The United States may come tc
the place where it will draft, not onlj
the men between the ages of 21 an<3
31, but those of all ages and, in addi
[tion, the entire resources of the na
?jtion. The international situation is
- [ such that the possible enemies oi
this country threaten to multiply.
The present authorized strength of
! [ the Army, as provided in recent
1 j months, is 375,000. A year ago the
authorized strength was 210,000. A
[year ago the Army had 175,000 men
; [and it has recruited about 95,000
I since June 30, 1939; Without a
J compulsory service law it will take
the Army several- months, or maybe
[until some time in 1941, to reach the
375,000 level.
It should be understood, however,
that if this country becomes involved
in a major war, during the next four
J or five years, before the two-ocean
[Navy stand guard over our shores,
[the Army that the nation will need
I may exceed the 375,000, plus the
[National Guard. It is a good idea
to have the men trained so that they
| will be available if needed, even if
we continue to hope that they will
not be required to serve the country.
PROFITS AND NATIONAL
DEFENSE.
Industrialists desire assurance that
plant expansion investments can be
[charged off, within a reasonable
period of years, 'in connection with
the taxes that they must phy the
[government. This may be sound but,
[it seems, that if total costs <?f ex
pension are written off, against taxes
[in a few years, the industries would
j thus acquire vast facilities at the
j expense of the defense program.
If total expansion costs are to be
written off it would be advisable for
[the government to construct the
plants, at its own expense, enter into
[agreements with industry to run
them and retain possession and own
ership of the increased facilities for
use in the national interest whenever
emergency requires it
In the midst of the argument the
American Federation of Labor pre
dicts that industrial profits will prob
ably increase 23 per cent in 1940 over
1939.
The Federation, of course.*, is ih^
I terested in increasing the wages of
labors as much as possible. It says
that a portion of the rise in profits
is due to the defense program. It
thinks wages do not increase as fast
as dividends.
We are not tax experts but it
seems to us that some fair method
could be devised that, would protect
industry, which invests in plant ex
pansion, and the people, who pay the
bill in the form of prices paid for
material purchased for the defense
program.
We are likewise in favor of labor
receiving adequate wages but the
possibility exists that increased labor
rates, passed on to the government,
through higher prices for materials
purchased, will permit certain work
men to profiteer on defense work,
just as much as excessive profits will
permit industry to profiteer.
Back of both labor and industry,,
in facing this problem, is the need
of the nation for adequate defense.
The people of the country must pay
the cost, whatever it is to be, but
there is need for vigilance to pre
vent unwarranted profits, either to
owners or laborers, connected with
the war industries.
NINE-DAY SALE
OF TIRES AID
TO SAFE ROADS
.
LocH Goodyear Dealer Says
Plan Should Help Reduce
Accidents.
I .
Announced this week nationally by
Goodyear dealers in every city and
town is an unusual, tire merchandis
ing events, centering around the
product of a large manufacturer, in
the opinion of W. C. Wooten, mana
ger of Farmvilie Service -Station,
local dealers, who says that for nine
days, starting August 22, Goobyear
G-3 All-Weather Tread tires are be
ing offered at nevjlow prices in a*
out-of-the-ordinary type plan.
"Few people need, an introduction
to the tire, which for years has been
used by thousands, appeared as ;
and has wide acceptance among car
Jong westing Mr? WootoEi J
figure. r -" -
Pressed for a reason as~to why the
tiros were being: offered at the p^ice,
- Mr. Wooton said:
i "All of the G-3 All-Weather tires
ore affected during the sale, with
- prices varying from $9.99, but at con
; siderable saving. 4 Reason for this
- sale is to contribute to the safety
1 of highways, to give motorists a
i break in buying tires with treaids
that will really stop a car.
> "Wet Weather is just ahead, you
- know, and slippery roads demand
^ tires that will stop, for safety's soke.
. Skids are the first cause of a ma
> jority of accidents..
1 "We are interested in putting
good tires on cars now, when they
> can he seasoned well, so- in cool
r weather they will provide up to 20
I per cent more mileage than if they
? had been applied during the extreme
ly hot weather,
i "We are. ready and willing to
" make inspections of anyone's tires
to be sure they are highway safe.
' And there is no obligation involved.
; America's motoring death toll can
i be cut drastically by adoption of
safety measures and good tife equip
t ment is a logical place, at which to
i start."

"Build-Up" Relief
Explained to Women
A simple method has saved many
women a lot of suffering!
It is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-Hkepain
are often symptoms of functtonol
dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition.
Help for this condition eo often . I
follows the use ef CABDUI, be- !
cause it usually increases the ap
petite and the flow of gastric Juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CABDUI a few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps ease periodic
discomfort Women have need
CABDUI for more than 50 years 1
