Six Months 70 Right Months .... 1.* Poor Months 00 Fordp Advertising Representative AMESICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Entered at the Fostoftiee at Ixmiabnrg, N. C. 'as second class mall matter. A headline of a news dispatch reads "Dies exhonor ates three film Stars. ' ' Wonder if that 's a whitewash. ? oOo "We would suggest that the Chamber of Commerce put its influence behind widening the street at the mon ument. ooo The indications now* are that the National Guard will be called into regular service for twelve months on September 16th. , v ooo North Carolina has at last gotten in style. The seven Supreme Court Justices donned robes upon opening Court in the new building Tuesday. oOo After all, if you are going to draft man power for defense or war purposes, why not draft capital and in dustry as well. What's fair for one is equally fair for the other. ooo All (jitizens of the County should join in the move ment tfl^flediwite the New Armory. Not altogether in appreciation 61 ihe building, which should be, but also in memory and appreciations for the services rendered the country in all the past wars. ooo It has been suggested that there is too much stress placed upon exemption in the Compulsory draft act, and claiming that all men and women between certain ages should be drafted and those not suitable for front line service be given other work in the line of duty to do. oOo The Senate passed the Conscription bill Wednesday holding to the age limit of 21 to 30 inclusive, and with a plause to conscript industry if necessary. The bill was sent to the House, which has held to a registration age of 18 to 64 with service limits 21 to 45<years. The reg istration to begin 15 days after final enactment and ser vice period to begin 40 days thereafter. oOo If a person appreciates local conveniences and local assistance when needed, even though it is a business transaction, then he should show that appreciation suf ficiently to give his assistance towards maintaining that institution or enterprise. Therefore the farmers as well as all others, and no further than others cooperate witli .them and local institutions and enterprises, should put their shoulders to the wheel to help build up local insti tutions. THE RIGHT TO VOTE Strange as it may seem, it is reported that a gross misunderstanding exists in some parts of the country to the effect that if a. Democrat casts a vote for a Re publican candidate, the voter makes himself a Republi can instead of a Democrat, and vice versa, and thereby terminates his affiliation with his own party. If such a mistaken idea exists, it is important that voters be informed that they can vote for whom they please in general elections, without in any way chang ing their party affiliations or their right to vote in pri maries and other local elections. In the various nominations, especially nationally, the parties have eliminated the party loyalty feature and relieved this obligation upon the voters. ooo i MAN MADE LAWS NOT ENOUGH During the next couple of months the country is go ing to hear plenty of discussion regarding the agricul tural problem. A political candidate's biggest head ache is the farmer. The farmer lives by nature in all her abundan6e-?or scarcity. And the cleverest, most, farsighted body of lawmakers cannot guess from one year to the next what to do about the farmer in order to maintain his purchasing power at somewhere near a stable par. The farmer cannot wait for man-made laws to outwit nature. He has developed machinery to market his produce at the best going price. The marketing coop eratives, for example, have become his effective ally in his job of trying to make the erratic productive forces of nature jibe with the almost equally erratic demands of the consuming public. It is not an easy job. It calls for unremitting effort and scientific organization. The marketing cooperatives have all of these. In any program of agricultural aid they inevitably play a vital part, and help to make a tough problem a little leis tough. ' [ ? .\ 0O0 _ ) WHERE RETAILERS CAN, HELP An authority on merchandising recently made a nutti ber of pertinent suggestions concerning the way Ameri ca's retailers may help protect the domestic standard of living during the abnormal period we are undergoing. # Retailers, this authority said, sixfold develop and of fer substitutes for products of whipfr the $upply is' shor tened by defense needs, or whose price has risen faster than consumers' incomes. They should avoid buying hysteria or speculative purchases and cojlect and dis seminate helpful information to their customers. They should discourage and report unjustified j)rice increas es. They should review wage levels from time to time, in order to prevent employe purchasing power from fall ing due to increases in the cost of living. They should lay special emphasis on good quality, reasonably priced merchandise. A program such as this is not only desirable but vital in these times. The demands of defense will disrupt normal trade channels to some extent, and the effects will be felt throughout the entire social and economic structure. The consumer and the worker must be given every possible protection? otherwise, purchasing power will go down, and the standard of living suffer severely. All. merchants, chain and independent, can perform a notable service by helping cusion the economic shocks that our transition from a peace to a defense economy will bring. Takes A Walk The following article was con tributed by one whom the TIMES knows to be an ardent) Democrat, but for special personal reasons the signature is withheld. It be ing a question of National rather than local, the TIMES is publish ing same: Among the notable Democrats or ex-Democrats who are lining up with Mr. Willkie this year is Alfred E. Smith ? he of Happy Warrior and Liberty League fame or notoriety. In the light of this his most recent walk it is well to j remind ourselves of a few facts, j hard even tragic facts. There is that memorable disastrious Dem ocratic National Convention in New York in 1924 protracted for so many days in a struggle be tween Smith and McAdpo when Smith's name Was first presented for the Presidency by his friend F. D. Roosevelt who for all those days at the peril of his health did his utmost to bring about his nomination. Again four years afterwards at Houston he did the same thing and followed up Smith's nomination by campaign-! ing for him and accepting the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor in New York in order to promote his election. And then what? When F. D. R. himself was a candidate for the Presi i dency in 1932 at Chicago, Smith ? opposed him, his own hat being | in the ring, and in the campaign that followed gave him only grudging, half-hearted support. On F. D. R.'b renomination in Philadelphia in 1936 Smith took a real walk and openly opposed the election of the man who had twice nominated him for t<he Presidency. Result ? with Smith's half-hearted support in 1932 F. D. R. carried every State but 8. With his open opposition in 1936 he carried all but 2. Two facts are outstanding with reference to these two men. One is that whatever may be 'Smith's chief claim to fame or notoriety within the borders of his own State to most of those outside it will be his attitude towards tbis his one time friend to whom by every token he owed so much. One word describes that ? ingrat itude. Another tfiing with him every word of adverse criticism and every act of opposition to his one time friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt looms larger while he himself. Alfred Emanuel Smith, twice Governor of New York, three times presidential candi date just as surely gets smaller. It is the old story of the serpent and the file.

FOX'S Louisburg's Best DEPARTMENT STORE FROM INGLESIDE ?* ? + I Mr. J. B. Be^sley's yard *Bd! fence, where so many wrecks have occurred, before thev atop and danger signals were finally In stalled, again was the scene of another crash at 1 o'clock Friday morning when a Chevrolet car running at high speed, entered Highway 59, struck Beasley's fence tearing t-he wire fenoe and posts down for sixty feet, barely missing a tree in crossing the en trance to the driveway; tearing through another fence, and clear ing a three foot dltich, the car plunged down an embankment into a cotton patch, and stopped right side up. Five men, base ball players, were riding in the car. The strangest thing about this wild ride is that none of the men sustained the slightest in jury. The car was badly damag ed. Taken from the cotton patch the men rode away in It as if nothing serious had happened. A number of residents awakened by the crash hurried from their beds to render aid to the "dead and injured." The crash was beard by a man three-quarters of a mile away. He said the car bad just passed like a flash, and in a min ute he knew what had happened. He got astride a mule and hasten ed to the scene of trouble. was a very narrow escape from death or serious injury, as were several previous wrecks ab that point. Soon the spot may be termed the lucky corner, that is to all except Mr. Beasley. The last wreck to occur before the one recorded above, the car broke through bhe fence and stop ped in the yard. One of the men noticed some evidence of a form er wreck, so frequent then, said to the othei^: "Look here, some oth er damn fool has been here be fore." He said: How lovely common! things must eeem to you, who have such lovely eyes to see t'hem through. Ingleside folks as well as Louis burg and all others along the line, are pleased at the new im proved Trallways Bus service, over the new fast route via Louis burg, Ingleside. Warrenton and j Roanoke Rapids, with round trips j daily and 'no change of bus. It is' a real pleasure to ride in one of those new Trailways Clipper Coaches. It seems that one can go any place now on a Trallways coafch; as they cover the country like the dew. A little Ingleside boy, not 3 % years old, and a close observer for one so young, it appears wish ed to ride on one of the new buses. With a string in hand be ran out to highway to stop the bus which he did. The driver didn't take him aboard, however, but stopped to avold,,ap accident. The little boy slipped out/ unno ticed until he had reached the road. Little Miriam Rose Marks had a near serious accident Monday when both of her hands and arms were caught in the ringer of a washing .machine- Playing with other smajl children it 4s thought the currant was accidentally tur ned on, as no older person was present. A quick response to cries from the children and the little girl was extricated from t<be machine. She was taken to a doctor by Mr. J. B. Beasiey and Miss Ruth Marks. It was found that no bones were broken, and she is doing very well at present. EUROPEAN WAR NEWS (Continued' irom i*age One) manian settlement and avert war in the Balkan^.
