C. as secoud mall matter. _ If Germany does uot win the European war and then come over and take the United States it will not be the fault of the totalitarian organizations in the U. S. 0O0 ^ The Town Commissioners of Luuisburg have a very knotty problem to solve in the electric light and power matter. The thing that makes it so knotty is the close ness of the figures on both sides. ? j nun ? - ~ n It now looks as if Louisburg will be without an elec tion this year. At present it seems there are no citizens in Louisburg who want to be Mayor or Commissioner ? everybody the editor has heard express themselves say, Nol Not Me. ,, -OOO Just a few months ago the Postal authorities told the .Town of Louisburg it would make an extension and im provements in Gity Mail service, when the town met eertain requirements. These requirements have been met. Now lets get the improvement in service. THE NEWSPAPERMEN KNOW It is significant that one of the greatest waves of ap plause at the President's recent speech before the While House Correspondents' Association came when lie said that unnecessary strikes cannot be tolerated. The Washington newspapermen know better than any other group.to wbat extent labor racketeering has beeir interfering with the defense program. They know that the total defense we are after can never be attained so long as a few unscrupulous labor leaders seem to have no other ambition than to exploit the mergency to the limit. Honest labor should keep this in mind. The mail who delays defense through an unjustified strike belongs in tire samp -classification as the war profiteer. ? Roth iivc. enemies of American security and safety in a world gone mad. oGo GUARD FARM INDEPENDENCE Addressing the Northeastern Dairy I'onfo'rencu, Dr. H. C. Byrd, president of the Unlv?riity of Virginia, warned leaders of marketing cooperatives and other farm organizations of the dangers of too much agricul tural regulation by government. "I do not think the government should be used to uni fy farm efforts in any direction," said Dr. Byrd, "if such unification can be achieved through fanners' own vol untary efforts." Excessive government regulation has made rubber stamps of the owners and managers of many industries. The same thing can happen to the farmer if he looks to Washington and the state capitals every time some, prob lem presents itself. Political power tends always tain crease, never to lessen. Farmers, through such organizations as the marketing cooperatives, can solve most of their problems for them selves. Government should be called in only as a last resort. Otherwise, our much vaunted farm independence will gradually vanish. RELIEF MEASURES 1. Pay your debts, which will put money in circulation. \ * . 2. Save your surplus, and put in a Safe Bank. 3.
