THORSDAT, OCTOBER 9. 1924 LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND NOT REPEALED Bomewhere at some time, we don't remember exactly where or when, we heard the remark that some people seemed to tbtnk that the "law of sup ply and demand had been repealed." Sounds foolish, doesn't It? Tet not any more foolish, perba'ps, than the presumption that the price of cotton Is "bound to come down," no mat ter bow scarce cotton Is. That the world needs cotton and must have it, there is no one who will venture a doubt; but there are numbers of people who win'say that the world, though It needs cotton ever so badly. Is not willing to pay lor It a "living" price. That suppo sltion la not borne out by the facts la the caes. When the World War was In profress, pud the price of cotton shot up to forty cents, the reason ad vanced universally- was that the world was "hound to have cotton and was willing to pay for it. What was true at that time is true.«now The world Is "hound to have cotton' DOW, and you miiy he sure the world will pay tor It. The world Is always demanding cotton: '^but the world Is Just that much like an individual that it does not care to be choken simply because It Is hungry. The orderly marketinf of (ottpu, to suit the supply to the demand, will have the desired effect of adjusting consumption to available supply and thereby g' 7ing the farmer his due proportion of the profit. The harping upon Wall Street and other gambling agencies is a waste of en ergy and lung power. The Cotton Qrowers' Cooperative Association has demonetrated the proper method to pursue, and in our opinion that or ganisation is pointing the way to Independence for the farmer. The law of supply and demand is more firmly fixed today than It has ever been. 'With regard to the far mer and bis products, there Is no law that works more in hfa favor. We believe he Is coming to recognise that fact more and more as the years come and go. PREPAREDNESS THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING Under the caption, "A Lesson in Preparedness,” The Dunn Dispatch says: "Ton very often hear folks com plaining that when they need their umbrella It is out of place. That is, if they happen to be at home when the rains begin their nmb'rella is at the oHee or store and vice versa. Bnt what we started out to say is that there la oae woman la Dana who never has that experlMce. She aever leaves her Imme. regardlem of how fair It la, wlthaat taklag bar amhnUa aloag. flha la aa agod eoloMd woama and eaaka for a white braces the results of misplaced con fidence. Of this staggering sum approxi mately two hundred mllUon was ob tained by emhenclement and for gery; six hundred million represente credit frauds, while the stock frauds reached one billion, or a thousand million dollars. Add to these figures the vast sums wrested from our people through other forms of dishonesty, and the total would be utterly beyond human comprehension. It Is a serious indictment of both the honesty and the IntelUgence of a large portloff of dur cltlxensblp. Those who were induced to contrib ute to the billloi; dollar pot cleaned up by the fake stock jobbers have some claim to sympathy, no doubt, yet practically every newspaper ‘ and periodical in the land has repeatedly warned Its readers against‘investing In wildcat schemes. It appears that as soon as one crop of "suckers" is skinned a new and large bunch comes on to meet the same fate. HARNETT CQUWTT 'WWa if* AUTOMOBILE TOLL OF LIVES Fourteen hundred killed In one dis aster would shock the nation, yet approximately that number, 1,S98 to exact, met death during the first eight months of this year in New York state alone through auto mobile accidents, without exciting any particular attention. While medicine and surgery are Working wonders In the.saving of hu man life, the grim toll of the auto mobile amounts higher and higher each year. - Most of this terrible sacrifice is entirely unnecessary, being caused by reckless or incompetent drlvets. The pity of It Is that so many of the vic tims are merely passengers in the wrecked cars, killed and maimed through no fault of their own. If Irresponsible speed maniacs de stroyed only themselves, there would be less cause for grief, bnt unhappily they often escape, while helpless viC' tlms pay with their Uvea for the fol ly of these criminally careless drlv era. minder tlvat Lillington is not nearly finisbed. Recent demonstration that Llltlngtph dirt Is of ample strength to lustain buUdjings Is calculated to lenfl color to the belief amchg local people that Lltlington's bld_ as a trading and home center Is strong enough to Justify more and more building of homes and business houses.' Joel Layton likes his busi ness Structures so welMhat he hard ly completes them before he -starts doing business in them himself. It Is currently .reported, too, that Mr Layton is doing good business, and The News win not dare dispute It. He believes in adrortlalnc;^—that’s n sure sign that projpiirltv is coming his way. V The News notes with great satis faction the' interest being manifested In the proposed highway from Ral eigh to Savannah by way of Ltlling- ton. Citizens here aru taktn;; on tc the proposition and are determined to push forward to a successful real ization . of Lillington on a national highway. It Is something in which everyone here can take part. Let not the matter drag at this end of the line! The News Is often asked the Ques tion how it stands on Ships and Ports. Our own little private yacht on Little River has not felt the' foot print of this scribe for lo thhse mvtJ days, and we’re Just now v|pnderio? If the recent flood waters have sub- w sided and the trout have snfllciently flung the mud from their eyes that they might see how to strike. Yes, we stand firmly on boats when the fish are biting. of tlM SM Aaps la tha paar aha car- rlas bar mmhtalla aa the tz4» to aaJ a habit with the eol- aal aaraljr she caniea aMHw days when she It thaa days that It Is Tat whaa the umbrella Ir aaadai U la aavar abaent and that's aaa way af ffsctlag the good out of U.

Yet many farm ers try to get along with no records at all, or keep records so Incomplete and haphazard as to be of little value. Many progressive farmers do keep books In a practical way and these are usually the ones who make success of farming. They realize that they are business men, - engaged in the greatest business in the world and they adopt business methods ac cordingly. Not only should a far^paer’s books show the total amounts of his re ceipts and expenditures, but they should show a separate account for each crop and for eacb other activ ity, such as livestock, poultry, fruits vegetables, and so oq. In this way he may discover what pays and what does not. 'Without such records he'is' working In the dark, often suffering losses where he least suspects them. Bookkeeping on the farm will not turn losses into profits, 'but It will serve to point out the mistakes of a given year and be a great help In avoiding them in future years. No farm ^thould be conducted without a complete and accurate system of bookkeeping. People of Harnett county are inch gratified over the fact that this coanty was selected to have Initial trial with staging the pageant 'XRdtdrea of Old CaroUna,'' by Mies BUwl Theodora Rockwell. The thou- lads who iritaessed the, production Taeaday are Bkely to feel renewed lafidriare la the eonaly's talent. It was soSMthlag to be proud of, and shoaM have the effect of gaining fo Miss Camp and her various eadeavore even more hearty cooperation In the future than In the pa«L “Harnett County Can" Is a good slogan, amply shown to be fitting. To Mias Rook well and to Miss Camp the county is under much obligation, and'we feel sure this sentiment Is shared by every one who witnessed the pageant. This is "Fire Prevention Week" and everyone is expected to do Just what they are expected alwaya to do —^use every precaution to prevent fires.

A reader of The News sends In a recall lor "Foy's FoiUes." it the writer of the "Follies” doesn’t soon hurry back to the desk, there’ll be those of The News’ circle who will begin to inquire what particular IV>lly it might be that Is. depriving our columns of the weekly contribu tion. Patience, however, has its own reward. Perhaps the 'author of the "PolUes” has a rich surprise in store for readers of The News. „ People In this section of the State, as well as those further up, probably have ilttle Idea how much damage the recent rains did for the Inhabi tants of the “low country.” J. R •Baggett and J. M. Byrd, on a fishing trip in Brunswick;county when the ■high waters came down that way, re port that "the whole world was un der water.” The flood waters that came down from upper lands In undated crops, - even homes, tu the lower lands, and the damage' wuf something tremendous. RED CROSS REPORTS HEALTH ACTIVITIES Atlanta, Oct. 8'.—The annual re port of public health activities of the 702 local jjled Cross chapters In thP^Southern Division was made pub lic today. The report, covering the fiscal year -which has just closed, is lor the state of North and South Carolina,' Tennesee, Oeorgla, Ala bama, Florida. Louisiana and Missis sippi. In 79 communities in these states where Red Cross Public Health Nurs es are stationed, the nurses made 130,633 visits to homes where, sick ness and disease required their ser vices, the report states. They have also inspected 149,943 school child ren.-- and assisted them In getting their defects corrected. "Educational authorities declare that this- work in the schools Is of Inestimable value, as Improvement Ih the child’s health invariably leads to better school attendance, closer at tention to studies, and a higher stan dard of school work,” the report de clares. "And of equal importance,” It con tinues, "is the work of the nurses in caring for the sick, ■ protecting the well, and teaching the principals of good health to- all. They also watch over the expectant mother and ad vises her in those mattets which in sure sound health to the little new comer. and later instruct her In the scientific principles of child care.” The report on nutrtlon shows that in the 48 Red Cross ■Chapters which are engaged in this work, 28,900 adults and 9,060 children have re ceived Instructions in "What to eat tor health.” "Malnutrition, from which one In every three children suffers, is now recognized as a serious condition,” explains the report. “Many, defects of vision, -teeth, and general health are attributal to improper eating. It Is to remedy this condition that the Red Cross has instituted nutrition work in its chapters.” In the Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick classes conducted by 97 of the Chapters, over 3,000 women and girls have been taught -the elemen tary principles of nursing, the proper care' of ordinary sicknesses in the home and the principles, of sanita tion and hygiene essential to good health. These classes are taught by Red Cross nurses who have had spec ial training for this work. Prepar'atlons tor. the annual mem bership drive, through which all of this work is financed, are now being made by the Red Cross, it Is stated. The drive is'known as the "Roll Call” and win be held In November by the local Red Cross chapters. the State Collega brass band of sixty pie^ at th«lr head.

He waa about as provincial os most people who have been r^red In a large dty and who think they have seen the world. His first view of Ne braska as his train rolled slowly along the valley of the I'latte was not a very alluring one. Ute level fUrms stretch ing parched and treeless to spparenUy limitless dlatancea, the low, bare, nn- palnted farmhouses in the mlfist of tbe haystacks and cattle sheds, tbe absence of everything beautiful or emufortabte, seemed to him to make life there hideously impooslble. "Do men and women (Aoose to live In such a placeT’ he asked me. "How do they spend their leisure time If they have any? Nothing to do, noth-" lug to see, nothing to go tot With all this level ground, I haven’t- seen a tennis court since I left New Yorif."

The so called Sennon on Oie Mount Is not Indeed a sermon but a proclama tion of the principles and laws wbldi Miall obtain In Christ’s fflngdom when It shall Im establlobed on the earth. In applying the teachings oL Matthew 5-7 two errors should be avoided, namely, that/of the tegallat who makes these prinaples the hard and fast standard of life for the believer today and also that of the one who' donjM that the principles or laws of the Kingdom are binding npon bellevera. Believers havs practically the same reiatlon to tbe Sermon on the Mount that they have to the Ten Commandments. While free from their demands as law, find delight In retaining them as ex pressions of God’s holy law and thus rejoice In the consciousness that Chrhtt has met all tiie requirements thereof and that their standing before Ch>d ii in Him. I. False Prayer (vv. 6-7). 1. This consists In one praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). To go through the act of praying with such an object Is to play tho hypocrite. Many of the prayers uttered -Jn the public sanctuary are Talse, for there Is more eonslderUtion of what tbe people think than of what God thinka In prayer the soul Is dealing with God. Therefore, engaging in It to attract men’s' attention Is blasi^emy. Men who -thus pray get a reward, but not from God. Iftey pray to g^ notice from men and they get such noticei. 2. Yatn Repetition (w. 7, .8). This does not mean that we ahould aak but once for the thing dec^red, for we have examples of Christ and Paul praying three times for tbe same thing (Matt 28:S»-24; II Oor. 12:7, 8). but rathUr If means the use of meaningless -rspo-' tltioBs, the mesnlnglesu reiterations of empty sounds. To pray thus Is heathMi- Ish. The heathen nations In dirir ,wor ship of Idols oiguge in, sdtselois-’bub ble, which we sse tn tbe prleets tf Baal on Mt Camel (I Kings 18:28). II. True Prayer (▼. 8). Since true prayer Is-a definite trans action of tbs soul vrtth God, the com- mnnion ot the human personality with the divine persocaUty, we ahould have' a real desire for fellowship with God and then go and meat Hkn in secret Life for Its fullest developmmit needs both solitude and companionship. Solitude alone makes one morose, while constant cosipanlonshlp makes ore Aallow. God who' made ns knew, what our naturss required. There fore, He comtsimdi both public and private prayer Beb. 10:28; Matt. 6:6) Hi. The MecNI prayer (vv. 0-J8). This waa gtven in response to the disciples’ rsqfiMt that the Lord would teach tb«tt how to pray. It la not, tharefove, the Lead’s prayer, bnt the modrif prayer for ihs dlsdples which InvolTes: . 1, A BIEht BslatlooMilp (r. 9).
