There are individuals in this coun- <j

operated by, and for the benefit of, 4
wealth. They include many wealthy 3 j
individuals, the employes of wealth <j
and, it may be said, the beneficiaries 41

gifts, donations and other largesses. J [
If any American takes time out <1
for thinking, it should be obvious 41
that the government of any country 3|
must have powers superior to any
part of the governed nation. This ?1
applies to business as well as to in- 3!
dividuals. Whenever any business, ] [
or group of business leaders, acquire < [
the idea that it, or they, are above 44
the government itself, the time has 33
come for the government of this
country to assert its power. 4 ?
"GOLD STAR MOTHERS' *
DAY" ^
Sunday, September 29, has been ,
designated by the President as "Gold
Star Mothers' Day'' and the people of
the nation have been requested to
give suitable expression "to the love,
sorrow and reverence of the people
of the United States for the Gold
Star Mothers."
This is an occasion that should not
be overlooked. The men who gave
their lives for this country, during
the first World War, should never
be forgotten and, just as important,
the people of this country should not
hesitate to accord full honors to the
mothers of the heroic dead.
The honor that the nation 'often
displays for its living veterans is all
right and they have been generously
provided for by a grateful govern
ment. There should be some public
recognition of the great sacrifice
that other men made at the price of k
tears and sorrow for many others.
It is right that Farmville, in this
grave period, should not forget to
honor its Gold Star Mothers.
THE DRAFT IN PEACE
Now that the President has signed
the selective service draft act, the
United States, for the first time in
a year of peace, has resorted to com
pulsory military service in connection
with national defense.
That public opinion approves this
legislation is almost self-evident. The
developments of modern warfare
have convinced American mothers
that it would be criminal to send un
trained soldiers against seasoned
veterans. . They do not want war,
but if war comes, they insist that
their sons have, at least, an even
. 4$ance.
The demand in some quarters for
a trial of the volunteer system mere
ly indicates, in our opinieu, that these
fellows haven't caught up with world
events, or else that they wanted to
postpone the draft until after the
election. There is no ass in trying
the volunteer system; it Is the ama
teur way of preparing for war and
it tWa muabry becomes iWwd m
no smatmrr affair. I ?

Year Around Income
From Tile Cotton Crop
Farmers and livestock raisers are
not the only ones who benefit from
the North Carolina's new agricijdture
that blends livestock production with
the growing of cotton.
"Cotton picking time," the South's
traditional herald of better business
conditions in towns and cities, as
well as income for farmers and work
ers, is beginning to have a new mean
ing, say State CoHege Extension
workers.
With the blending of livestock and
cotton, farm income and farm pur
chasing power are spread over twelve
nonths of the year, to the benefit of
:he entire community. Fall business
itill continues to reflect the major
mportance of lint cotton and cotton
seed as dependable cash crops; but
butter and eggs, beef, lamb, pork
md poultry sales are contributing to
i steady farm employment, farm rev
snue ,and to the trade of merchants
ihroughout the year.
The use of cotonseed illustrates
bow "blended" farming benefits the
entire community. Sales of cotton
seed to the oil mills provide ready
cash in the late summer and fell, as
well as employment at the milL Then,
by obtaining a supply of cottonseed
feed products, cotton growers lay fee
foundation for future income during
the winter, spring and summer.
Fed in balanced rations with farm
grains and roughages, cottonseed
meal and hulls are converted into
varied sources of income. For in
stance, dairy cows transform the
feeding nutrients into milk and but
ter for year 'round cash sales. In
feed lots, and on ootton farms, beef
is produced for home use, and for
sale. Farm flocks of sheep may also
convert cottonseed meal into lambs
and wfool clips; while the efficient
protein furnished by cottonseed meal
now aids in the economical produc
tion of firm pork from farm hogs.
In these ways, as well as through
the fertility restored to the soil
through the feeding of livestock and
the direct use of cottonseed meal as a
fertilizer, cotton contributes to im
proved agricultural and business con
[
dittons. With the blending of live
stock end cotton fanning, this contri
bution is not limited to the autumn,
when the economic importance of
cotton is generally recognized, but
extends throughout the entire year,
from one cotton picking to the next

In some ypars, some airs
take a big jump ahead. The
? Ford does that for 1941.
It hai jumped ahead in
site. It's the biggest Ford
we've ever built, inside and
out. It's wider. It has a longer
wheelbase. Its seating room
is wider by as much as 7
inches. It has new wide
doors and semi-concealed
running boards.
You'll notice also a new
c
beauty, achieved by.a skilful
blending of mass with longer
flowing lines. Larger wind
shield and windows give bet*
ter vision all around.
One of its biggest advan
' tages is the new soft ridei
New, slower-action springs
give a slow, gentle, gliding
5iovement. A newly designed
tabilizer helps absorb road
shocks, and Maintains bal
ance on sharp curves and in
cross winds.
More rapid acceleration to
match its familiar speed and '
power makes this new Ford
an even livelier car to drive.
t
' These are only a few of
this new car's outstanding
features. It represents all the
rich experience gained in
building more than 28 mil
lion motor cars.

Any Ford dealer can give
you many good reasons for
making this your 1941 car.
