At present there are uo availaUte '^UiKlin^ lots that can'be bought at reasonable prices and Louisburg is badly in need of homes. It's time our outlying property owners and City officials were getting together on plans to open new streets. Two suggestions, both of which are good, have been made. One is to open Cedar Street out to Halifax road, the other to open a street parallel to Elm Street from the Franklinton road beyond the railroad, across Tar River on back of the College entering the Ingleside road near the Cemetery. What wp need most now is some defi nite and immediate action. OLYMPIC GAMES TO FINLAND The Japanest government lias notified the workl that it will not be possible to hold the Olympic Games of 1940 in Tokyo, as had been planned. This decision comes at a time when the sentiment of practically all the civil ized world is anti-Japanese, and much embarrassment and friction between the athletes of different nations will be averted by this decision. The prospect now is that the 1940 Olympics will be held at HelSingfors, the capital of Finland. This will be appropriate for several reasons. Finland was the second choice after the Games of 1936, when Tokyo was select ed. The little nation of fewer than 4 million inhabitants has produced more world champions in sport, in proj)0r tion to its size, than any other nation. And to Amgri cansr^specially, as well as to believers in demoor#ey everywhere, Finland stands out as an example of a little nation whose people have made a great success in & govemment by their rugged independence, industry aijd respect for the rights of others. Alone among the faa tions of tl?e world, Finland has never disregarded its in ternational obligations. J . ~ To sport-loving Americans Hie prospect of a visit to Finland for the Olmpic Games of 1940 is alluring. An opportunity to see the Baltic region and its peoples comes seldom to the ordinary American, but if the games are held in Helsingfors the prospects is for low-rate steamship excursions in the Summer of 1940, giving hundreds of thousands their first chance to visit one of the most interesting parts of this world of ours. A PICNIC FOR ROYALTY What could be more typically and democratically American tlian the entertainment which the wife of the President of the United States provided for the daugh ter-in-law of the King of Sweden at an out-door picnic at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park? Hot dogs and beer ! Most Americans who entertain distinguished foreign ers lay themselves out to give them the same kind of food they are accustomed to in their native countries. It must take the edge off a visit to a strange land to l>e com pelled to eat the same kind of food one gets at home. To Americans who travel abroad, much of the novelty and interest lies in eating French food in France, Italian food in Italy and so on. It seems to us that the President and his wife rose to the height of hospitality when they offered their royal guest the simplest and most popular of all American picnic viands for their fil fresco luncheon. Hot dogs and beer. According to the New- York Times account, it was Mrs. Roosevelt's idea. The President's 83-year-old mother had wanted to serve pork sausages on finger-rolls, but her daughter-in-law overruled her. The elder Mrs. Roosevelt, according to The Times, "held aloof from the hot dogs but clung to a glass of beer." And the royal guest and her party seemed to enjoy themselves thor oughly, as might have been expected of folk who take pride in the fact that their nation is the niostfdemocratic of monarchies. jHot dogs dripping with mustard and washed down ^vith beer comes about as near to being typical of the average American family's picnic lunch as anything could be. Tastes vary, of course. Some of us, like the President's mother, don't care for hot dogs. But even the most ardent "dry" can hardly quarrel with beer 1 when it is consumed under such delightful circumstan ces afe the royal picnic at Hyde Park. A GIRDLE AROUND THE EARTH When Col. Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 1927 the highest speed whicl^his "Spirit of St. Louis" was capable of maintaining was an average of 62 miles an hour. That was miraculous for a long flight only 11 years ago. Hywajd Hughes flew from New York around the icprkl tn? otjter days in 3 days, 19 hours and 17 tfllnutes. His modern Airship. "New York World's Fair 1939" maintained in average flying speed of 208 miles an hour over 15.0Q0 miles. Even taking time out for refueling stops, his actual elapsed time 'was 102 miles an hour, i By all the world this /eat of American aviators in * modern American airpl&ae is hailed as the most convin * But It's ^ '7/3' is rm tr 4 11 rcMt OLD [rx- SLAVS WHO uvts m Mctvrcitr/ Mtwi.

I cin# demonstration yet made of the superiority of Airffcr iean inventiveness and technical skill in the field of avi tion. There is every reason why America should be first in the air. The men who built the first planes and made the first flights were Americans. They taught the world how to fly, and this country has been teaching other nation ever since. Flying is still in its infancy. It is only 35 years since the Wright Brothers made the first successful effort of human beings to lift themselves off the ground in a heav ier-than-air machine. Just thirty years ago Glenn Cur tiss made the first public airplane flight anywhere in tlie world. Greatly as the airplane's size, power, speed and safety have been improved since those days, the scien tists and technicians who are devoting their lives to its improvement tell us we haven't seen anything yet. Fly ing today is about where railroading was at the time of the Civil War. The establishment of regular flying service across the Atlantic is now only a year or so in the future. Planes are already being built for the trans-Atlantic passenger airways. The big American aircraft companies are working on still larger and faster planes, to carry 100 passengers and ten tons of freight. Time and space have been conquered. The world is shrinking. Ameri can ingenuity and resourcefulness have put a girdle around the earth and the straps are being pulled tighter every day. A TRIBUTE Arthur Bruce Allen married Lillian Dale Perry, December 25, 1895 and died July 22, 1938. Arthur Bruce Allen was born October 11, 1869 in Warren (County, son of John Watson Al- } len and Emma Abernethy. At a very early age he joined Browns j Baptist Church. His only school-^ ing and education was obtained, in a one room building three I miles from his home. He walked! there daily. Six months in the year he mingled and studied with 40 or 50 others of the neighbor hood. Here he mastered Web ster's Blueback Speller, Sanford's Arithmetic, some geography and j history and memorized much of' the bible. Among his school mates many developed into men of prominence ? professional men. ministers, three multi-ihfllionair es, merchants, manufacturers,! bank and public officials. Thej books he studied and the lessons' he learned he knew and be- 1 came the captain of his soul and the master of his sphere. He never learned patience with sham or make-do or believe. Everyl duty and obligation was well and ' faithfully discharged. He- never made a promise, owed a dollar, or made any obligation which was not fully discharged. He was the second rural mail carrier in this county, retiring by age limit sev eral years ago. In his early life he: was associated with mechanics and builders and became a mas ter in these arts, a craftsman iu wood and stone, copying master 1 pieces of old furnitwe, or rtofftni upon which he played tfce X>ld mu-j sic with charm and spirit. While' never frivolous he was a natural: wit and humorist. He never for-! got a good Joke or story of which he had an endless number, and was always ready with one which fitted in properly at the right time and place. He never lost an op- , portunity to-do little acts of kind-! ness. He said there were so many \ little things that he could do. He did as much personal service and as many kind deeds as any one I have ever known. The floral offerings and im-| mense throngs at his burial in Oakwood Cemetery attested t-he esteem in which he was held. Affectionately, D. T. SMITHWICK. Junior ?

Geor- | gia and Florida tobacco growers ! on the eve of the 1938 sales sea- \ son today attacked constitution- ! ality of the AAA farm marketing quotas and enjoined the penalty taxes. ? \| Temporary restraining orders issued by state courts here and at ' Lake City, Fla., affecting auctions at 17 markets opening tomorrow apparently headed the govern- ! ment's second attempt' at control ' of tobacco growing toward the Su preme court where the first regu- I latory program under the Kerr Smilh act was ruled invalid, (?ovornment To Fight Case In Washington, agriculture de partment officials said they would defend the new farm law to the highest court if necessary. A. J. Little, one of the attor neys bringing the suits, said it was estimated Georgia and Florida 1 growers would have to pay pen- ] alties totalling around $4,500,000 if the act was upheld. He charged quotas for these , states were insufficient. The actions, directed against ' warehousemen, contended that the agricultural adjustment act of ? 1938 under which marketing quotas were fixed for the nation's principal crops was unconstitu tional in that "Congress assumes authorities not directly granted by the constitution." Validity Jfurstloncd | The growerg\asserted tobacco growing Is not afl*interstate in dustry and therefore not subject ! to federal regulation. They also charged marketing quotas violated the section of the constitution pro tecting individuals Trom depriva tion of life, liberty and property without due process of law. Under temporary orders signed by Superior Court Judge W. E. Thomas here and Circuit Judge Harold W. Adams in nearby Lake ; City, Fla., warehousemen are en joined from collecting the penalty taxes against growers who exceed their marketing quota. They will be permitted to deduct the amount of the levies, however, with the funds to be impounded by the courts until the issue is decided. Janie ? Black hens are smarter '.han white hens, aren't they, mom? Mother ? What makes you ask such a silly question? Janie ?

FARM ITEMS ? By County Farm Agents ? ? ????????? The County Office has been ad vised by the State Office that the final tobacco marketing cards can not' be completed before the open ing of the early markets. We realize that some producers usually sell part of their tobacco on the opening of the market or soon thereafter. Every effort has been put forth by the County Office, Committee men, State Office, and the Wash ington Office to get your final al otments calculated as prescribed ? >y the law before the opening of he markets. This appears to be mpossible at t'his time so arrange nents have been made so that any jroducers with an acreage allot nent can be issued a tentative marketing card for 400 pounds per acre on his planted or allotted acreage whichever is smaller. You :an receive this card by notifying :he County OfTice in writing a day or two before you will call by the Office and sign for the card. If you want more than one :ard issued, we will be able to break the card down to as many tenants as you desire. Additional and complete poun dage allotments for your farm will be issued immediately after we get' the completed tabulation from the State Office. THE GAME . . . It's much more satisfactory, and far more productive, making the best of what you have than wasting time wishing for the moon. . . . It is better to spit on your hands than to wring them. ...
