LONDON also has its assassins. One attempted to
shoot the Duchess of Kent, the past week, but wound up
in the hands of the police. For that kind there should
he an early extrication of the permanent kind. *,

GOVERNMENT is now recommending loans for
small business. Better late than never. Now if it will
revise its agencies and their activities so as to give little
business a fair chance to live it will be doing something.

THE licencing slot machines seems to be demanding
much attention in Raleigh these days. With the word
ing of the license and the inspection and reporting sys
tem suggested, operators of illegal machines better
look out.

Mr. N. F. Freeman, whx) was listed last week as being
suggested by his friends f<?r the chairmanship of the
A. B.C. Board, wishes his friends to know that he is not
interested in either the chairmanship or member of the
Board. He is not and will not be a candidate for either
of the positions.

Highway Commissioner T. Boddie Ward, seems to
be quite interested in Franklin County and its^System of
roads. This is something Franklin has not enjoyed be
fore. Lets ^tll bands join with the greatest possible co
operation with him and show him that we appreciate
friendship and a fair deal.

AN effort is being made to have the government es
tablish Saturday evening parcel post delivery after the
arrival of the 4 o'clock mail. This is a much needed
service as it will relieve the post office at present of a
large portion of the responsibility of delivering perish
able packages and would be a great help to the mer
chants and through them to the public at large by pro
viding for the last minute week-end delivery of packages.

WASHINGTON seems to be right much stirred over
the third term talk. There is no doubht but that many
will want a third term. We are not so sure President
Roosevelt is in that number. It occurs to us that a big
game of politics is in the playing, not so much for Roose
velt for a third term as it is to bring about conditions
whereby a close friend of the administration may receive
the nomination. At present it looks more like a move I
favorable to Postmaster General James A. Farley, than
any one else, even though his name has not been sug
gested.

Just because Louisburg has its Armory project on the
way, should not cause its people to "lay down" in satis
faction with their acheivements. Along with*this comes
the fact that work on the Streets has almost stopped.
The Street project is very necessary to the growth of
our town. The TIMES has been informed of several
residential probabilities when Cedar Street is completed
io the Halifax highway. Again the town has had a city
mail extension awaiting a little street improvement for
more than a year, this project besides bringing an addi
tional accomodation to the Citizens would add a pay roll
of $2,000 or more to the town annually. Our Chamber of
Commerce should get behind these matters and don't
let them "fall by the way side."
0O0
It seems to us the State Highway Commission should
be encouraged and congratiilated on its action in respect
to the Louisburg to Spring Hope road. We can appreci
ate the fact that the people on the Edward Best end want
and probably need a better road, and \fce realize it is a
Hchool buB route as well as a mail route, but the other
road is a more direct route between two larger towns
and adds mileage to Franklin's improved system. It is
hoped our Highway Commissioner will find before he
is through that he can improve the Edward Best end
after completing the Mapleville end, thereby giving
better road service to both sections. We are glad that
jthe breach did not get to the point of stopping the pro
ject, and we are glad Franklin is to be given the addi
tional mileage, given better contact with one of its most
progressive comunities and with Spring Hope our de
lightful neighboring town.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S PEACE PLAN
I In these parlous times of "war and rumors of war,"
;when the people of roost nations are casting about for
Borne method of avoiding the catastrophe which all of
jthem fear, it might not be amiss for them to consider a
plan that was once suggested by a man who had been a
printer and a publisher. His name was Benjamin
franklin. . T ? k
i- In 1788, when Turkey and Russia were engaged in one
'fef their conflicts, Franklin wrote to his friend. Benjamin

When will princess learn arithmetic enough to eal- I
culate, if they want pieces of one another's territory,
how much cheaper it wouhj be to buy them, than to
make war for them, even though they were to give a
hundred years' purchase? \ ? ,
But, if glory cannot be valued /land therefore the
wars for it cannot be subject to arithmetical calcula
tion so as to show their advantage or disadvantage,
at least wars for trade, which have gain forHheir ob- J
ject, may be proper subjects for such computation;
and a trading nation, as well as a single trader, ought
to calculate the probabilities of profit and loss, be->s
fore engaging in any considerabfe adventure.
This however nations seldom do, and we have had
frequent instances of their spending more money in
wars for acquiring or securing branches of- com- i
merce, than a hundred years' profit or the full en
joyment of them can compensate.
Judging by the events of recent years, the statesmen
of today seem no more capable than the princes of 150
years ago of "learning arithmetic enough to calculate,]
if they want pieces of another's territory, how much
cheaper it would be to buy them, than to make war for
them." Being statesman, that solution of the problem
may be too simple for them. Some day, though, they !
may realize the virtue of this suggestion by the Ameri- 1
can printer, who was also a practical idealist and a far
seeing philosopher, and, when all else fails, learn to their
surprise that a "cost accounting system for peace and !
war" is the answer! ? Auxiliary.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: How much water
should be provided for each mem
ber of the family In planning a
home water system?
ANSWER: From 25 to 30 gal
lons of water per day will ordinar
ily take care of the needs of each
individual for domestic purposes.
This does not include water for
stock, gardens, washing cars, and
many other uses, but Is based on
ly on the personal usage In the
home. Where a complete system Is
planned, these things will have to
be considered. Then, too, heavy
producing milk cows consume
large quantities of water and, if
the barn Is to have running wat
er, this factor must also be con- |
?ldered before the system Is in- j
stalled.
QUESTION: Will arsenate of
lead, used to control the bean
beetle, injure the plants?
** ANSWER: This poison should
not be used on bean foliage as It
will seriously bum tha leaves and
greatly reduce the yields. Neither
is it advisable to use calcium ar-'l
senate mixture on beans. Medical
research has shown that there 1*
an accumulation of arsenical res
idue in the human system as a re
sult of eating fruits and vegeta
bles that have been sprayed with
arsenical mixtures and the use of
these poisons Bhould be avoided
on all table vegetables and fruits.
Rotenone - bearing insecticides,
have proven the best substitute
for controlling most of the gard
en peBts and this chemical can be
secured at any insecticede dealer.
QUESTION: When should I be
gin to cull out non-layers in my
poultry flock?
ANSWER: It is sometimes said
that when a flock, especially in
the summer months, falls below
30 eggfC a day for each 100 hens,
it is time to cull .the entire flock.
However, the price received per
dozen, the price of feed, and most
of all, the feed cost per dozen
eggs should be known before the
flock owner adopts this as a rule.
8ince the most efficient produc
tion comes through continuous s?
leetlon, "culling should be practic
ed throughout the year, but In
tensive culling must come through
