If you wish the paper continued, please renew promptly. OUR THIRD YEAR. With this issue, Harnett County News starts upon its third year. The paper has made many good friends during its existence in this territory friends of people who are worth the while. We say this is in no -partial or discriminatory mood when we say friends we mean every body, because if we search our mind we find not a single name to answer "enemy." It has been the highest aim of the paper to give the news impartially, to stand for the cause of justice and right living, to uphold the law and the officers of the law, to praise that which is good from whatever source, and through it all to maintain that high standard of boosting for the community .that will command re gard and compel attention from those who would do credit to us as citizens. If there be those who through lawbreaking have found mean spirit toward the paper, they must know that they have dissociated themselves from the right to call themselves "kindred," for by their deeds they have forfeited the title of "good citi zen." We are against whiskey making in any form, and we have the nerve to put it plainly. We have no ill-will against the parties who indulge, but we have against the un lawful traffic. We are sending our greetings to our friends and wishing for each and everyone more prosperity during the year than now seems to be in the atmosphere. Present conditions will soon pass away. No doubt of that. This is the best country in the whole world. You know it. We all know it. Why worry because the readjust ment comes now? Let's go to work and make cotton look like thirty cents by becoming independent of the market. Don't let cotton make Progressive Farmer. The situation, so far as it regards agriculture and it is agriculture which has been hit hardest may be summarized in a few words: 1. The poverty of Europe has se riously crippled the market for our goods. The latest figures we have on the depreciation of foreign money (October 21) show that the English pound, formerly worth $4.86, Ameri can money ,is now worth only $3.46. The French franc, with a pre-war value of 19 cents, is now worth only 7 cents. The Italian lira has de clined from 19 cents to 4 cents, and the German mark from 24 cents to 1 1-2 cents. 2. The Federal Reserve situation we have already discussed. We need men with a better understanding of jagriculture on the Reserve Board. We also need a more consistent Fed eral Reserve policy, instead of an extremely lax policy one year fol lowed by a severely strict one the next year. 3. For Secretary Houston's place we need a man less ultra-conserva tive. Able man that he is, he is bound by ancient precedents. Mc Adoo knew how to meet an unprece dented situation in an unprecedent ed way. Secretary Houston is pre cise, formal, and regular in a posi tion where elasticity and vision are absolutely 'essential. 4. Agriculture has never had a square deal in the management of the country's finances. Money is ten j times more readily available for fin-j ancing manufactures and commerce; than for financing agriculture. The, Federal Farm Loan Board must be; put to work again as soon as thej supreme court acts put to workj with whatever adjustments may bej required to make it fit the court's decision. But this is not enough, j Some plan for short time credit must j be worked out. Mr. Lever's plan ti ning at some loss now rather than throw employes out of work and tem iporarily 'destroy the farmer's market for his crops. Unfortunately, how ever, manufacturers have been temp ted to shut down and thereby both get cheaper cotton and also have an excuse for a heavier cut in wages of employes. CARD OF THANKS.

This 11th day of December, 1920 BUIE'S CREEK DEPARTMENT STORE (Incorporated), 16-5 Mortgagee. have the Federal Farm Loan Board issue securities based on warehoused farm products is the best idea yet presented in this line. Every farmer in America should help him work out this plan. The war finance corpora tions should also be revived. 5. Many merchants are not co operating as they should in meeting the new situation. They were per fectly willing to mark up goods on their shelves when war forced prices upward. Many are not willing, how ever, to mark down goods on their shelves, now that war's ending has forced prices downward. We heard a day or two ago of a merchant who .had shoes on hand when the war 'came on. He had marked them up at a profit. Shoe prices rose, and he marked them up again. Shoe prices took another rise, and he add ed another profit. Yet while making three profits on the shoes then sold, we doubt whether he is willing to lose one profit on what he now has on hand. Such action on the part of retailers is delaying buying and is also foolish because it is driving trade from retail stores to mail order houses. The cotton farmer lost out in 1914 when war began, and now in 1921 he has seen crop values cut 66 2-3 per cent. Retailers should count up the extra profits they made in war times and-be willing to share some losses with customers now. 666 will break a Cold, Fever and Grippe quicker than any thing we know, preventing pneumonia.
