SHOP AT TONKEL'S AND YOU WILL SAVE ! THE LOW DOWN from HICKORY GROVE You know, the touchiest sub ject you can stir up is the sales, tax. Our Govt, and Congress seems to think; It is some klnd| of poison Ivy. But the longer the tax is put otf the more pain ful it Is going to be later ? like a sore tooth, where you keep hoping some miracle will hap pen and you will Jo ton avoid the dentist, but don't. If we were a very new country and not 150 years old, but were young, and Inexperienced, and simple, like maybe a new bride, we- might be excused for dilly dallying and doing nothing abput the tax, and gattlng out of debt. "What bride is simple*" <*ay? Henry. "The one I got in mind," says, "went to the market for iQtncemeat. "Be sure," she says to the butcher, "to cut it off a nice young and tender mince." But to get back to the sales tax. When you buy furniture on the installment plan. It is not any lark digging up the install ments each month but in due course, and later, you are out of debt and can breathe easier ? and nobody Is going to back up a van and remove the icebox or wash ing machine. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. Minister ? Where Is your hus band today, Mrs. Smith? I didn't see him in church. Mrs. Smith ? It grieves me to tell you, sir, that poor Charlie has joined the Great Majority. Minister ? You mean ? he's dead? Mrs. Smith ? Gracious, no! He's gone to the baseball game. # I'.fe The term of a negro preacher had expired, and he called the congregation together to get him self reappointed: Preacher ? All who wants the present preachah to continue, please holler "Aye!" Not a voice was raised. Preacher after thinking a mo ment. ? Thank you all brethren. Silence gives consent, so I will stay with you another year. Man (at taDle signaling wait ress) ? What did you say this meat was? Waitress ? Spring lamb, sir. Man ? I believe you. I've been chewing on one of the springs for an hour. Two women were discussing a mutual acquaintance: First ? She has a very magnet ic personality. Second ? She 'Ought to have.

' BACK THE ATTACK BUY MORE BONDS *reggo?? i Leads in Looiiboig" BACK THE ATTACK BUY 1 MOKE BONDS CAMPAIGN ISSUES In the coming Primary there are many important issues to be decided. Some of them are: 1. Shall we abolish the sales tax in these good times and use our surplus in maintaining our schools and raising the salaries of the State employees or shall we continue the sales tax and accumulate a nice nest egg to be used in assisting to rehabilitate our returning ser vice men and women and to lighten our tax burdens when the hard times come again? 2. How long are the people of North Carolina going to per mit the "Gag Rule" to be used in our General Assembly? This is most important of all issues. H. A, FAULKNER. POLITICAL GOSSIP V *t Gossip has it that Judge G. M. Beam has withdrawn from the County Senatorial Race and will give his support to Mr. Lumpkin, so that Mr. Lumpkin can demote Ills time to the cam paign of McDbnald whom Mr. Beam is said to be supporting. I don't believe it. Gossip says Mr.. Weldon Eger ton is managing Mr. Inscoe's campaign. Will a wet manage a dry's campaign? Looks fun ny to me. H, A, FAULKNER.
