Eight Months 1.00 Nix Months 70 Four Months SO Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Tht Louisburg Chamber of Commerce might become interested in the suggestion of adding more safety to "Main Street traffic by widening the street on each side of the Monument. 0O0 . ' ' Wouldn't it be well for Louisburg Merchants to put on a cooperative dollar day, or some other inducement to bring folks to town on a day that can be valuable to both the merchants and the visiting public. 0O0 It may seem strange but now that the Armory is about completed the Guardsmen will have to leave on a twelve ? .months service expedition. Almost a realization of the prediction of some that "by the time we get the Armory we will lose the Battery." oOo The acts of the ones who destroyed the tent and organ of the Holiness preachers near Piney Grove last week;, i was very much uncalled for let alone the fact that it was unlawful. If conditions were such as to justify the removal of the tent then it should have been by recog nized legal action. , oOo The^Chamllfer of Commerce would do well to put its "shoulder to the wheel" in the movement to extend the City Mail service on route one. This is a project that will add a permanent pay roll of at least $2,000 a year and should not cost the town $200 to get started. It is at least worth a little effort on the part of the Chamber. oOo I ??- , f . What the Louisburg Chamber of Commerce should be mostly interested in is some enterprise that will pro duce a permanent and steady pay roll, and to promote, protect and encourage the pay rolls already in our midst. It's the permanent pay rolls that build a town. Look at Rocky Mount, Raleigh and other like cities that a few years ago were small towns. oOo The argument that if Louisburg opens Cedar Street through to Halifax road it will have to go to the expense to put in water, sewerage and lights, can be answered two ways. First, isn't it wise to offer some inducement to increase the population and taxable property of the town; and second, why is it' the town has not put in these conveniences and necessities on other streets in ;town that have been here these many years. "A bureaucracy, with its indirect control over legis lators, its vast spending power, its access to the avenues of public opinion, its multitudinous means of rewarding and punishing, is the real threat to our democratic pro cesses. . "Personalities will be important in this I campaign, but government, not by the will of the gov I ernors but by the consent of the governed, will be the issue at "stake. And, despite the growth of bureau cracy's power, the public is still free to make its choice." j ;': ? Raymond Moley. oOo Why is it go many drivers who approach a traffic light at a street crossing allow their engine to come to a complete stop, and monopolizing all the time between light changes for them to clear, thereby blocking other drivers who wish to proceed. These happenings are of ten in Louiaburg and many canbe seen to drive up to a traffic light' -with the green Go signal in. plain view and stop their ear, causing them and others to lose the chance to pass before another light change. Lots of drivers need to learn the signals better and to observe them more co operative to relieve inconvenience and traffic jam. oOo ' Marshal Petain's, of France, advice that the United States should begin to teach its citizens discipline, to save them defeat in time of conflict is no doubt sound, i It seems to us that if more stress was placed upon dis cipline through Military training, and less through reg imentation or business, and organizations, the country would be a great deal better off and in a much safer shape to defend and protect itself, both forcibly arid financially. The present attitude of the general public towards governmental interference with business is appalling. oOo Now that traffic is and has increased so much on the I streets in Louisburg we would suggest to the "City Fathers" to widen Main Street about fifteen feet on each side of the Monument and lengthen the approaches to these drives thirty or forty feet on each side. At present with the addition of the twelve or more buses added to the ever increasing traffic and especially the transportation of the school children makes it very haz ardous to pass through the present narrow and short curved drives around the Monument. There would hardly be any trouble getting the necessary right of way, The College authorities -would no doubt cooperate and the town could easily use the space on the Graced School side.

It is usual ly no fault of the cow or her feed. If you will place the milk imme diately after milking in the cold est water available and keep the milk and cream cold by changing the water occasionally, it should help to remedy this trouble. It is best not to place it in a refrig erator or Ice box until after cool ing the milk in water. It is also important to give the milk uten sils an extra good scalding, using baking soda in the hot water, to kill bacteria in warm weather. QUESTION: How can I "save" my hay if it happens to rain on it while in the field? ANSWER: If rain falls on freshly cut hay, there will be lit le damage, provided good curing!, leather follows. Half-cured or veil-cured bay will be discolored, | >ut will not mold If rain comes; >efore it is' raked up. The great !s(i damage is done to hay in the' vindrow, or ill loose Irregular > )iles.
