SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable In Advance One Year_I-_ $1.00 Three Years ----42.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the postoffice at Sal isbury, N. C., under the act of March 3, 1879. The influence of weekly news papers on public opinion exceeds that of all other publications in the country.—Arthur Brisbane. we so cam pawt i THE NEED FOR COOPERA TION GROWS The farmer who believes that because government is seeking to do certain things for him, he needs do nothing for himself, might ponder these words of Governor Henry Morgenthau, Jr., of the Farm Credit Administraton:' "I believe in cooperation both as a way of advancement and as a nec essity for the American farmer. I don’t believe any new form of economy or new' regulation of pro duction will ever make it less nec essary. It is more likely to increase the importance of it.” Agricultural cooperation means that the farmer, in association with his fellows, is taking definite steps to help himself—and is adopting the soundest and most proven means of achieving a given end. The government itself recognizes that—and the careful reader of re cent farm legislation will be im pressed by the emphasis laid on cooperative methods. Indeed, Mr. Morgenthau says that the new sys tem amounts to a chain of banks is going to help by providing nec for cooperatives. The government is going to help by providing nec essary financing financing, and the rest is up to organized farmers. During three years of depression the membership rolls of the estab lished cooperatives have constantly grown. During the next few years —the years of recovery—their rate of growth should be immensely ac celerated. If that happens, and all indications are that it will, agricul ture faces a bright future. NOT FOR US TO WORRY j ABOUT "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled.” That seems to us as good advice to Americans today as it was to those to whom it was spoke, nine teen hundred years ago. Great to-do is being made over Germany’s withdrawal from the League of Nations and the Disarm ament Conference, following Jap an’s action some months ago. The Sensation-mongers are busily trying to promote another war in Europe, a war between the United States and Japan, other wars between other nations. We do not believe that wars are so easy to start as all that. Nor do we recall a war that was herald ed by such a volume of preliminary publicity. War preparations are not made in the open. No nation which proposes to make war on an other sends out notice in advance. In other words, we think thtft most of the war-talk is bluff. We remember the last great war. We remember how the people of America were swept off their feet by what we now realize was largely inspired1 propaganda. We do not think this nation will easily be drawn into another war while there are those alive who remember the last one. We wish we could say that we do not believe we shall ever engage in another war; but we are afraid that no nation as yet has reached the stage of poise and self command to insure that. Nevertheless, we do believe that the present rumors of war are mat ters over which we should not be troubled. DON’T ECONOMIZE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY The kind of "economy” that en dangers a city’s safety is false in deed. That is the message in a brief article by L. S. Gregory, Assistant Secretary, Fireman’s Fund Group. He is in a position to know. Dur ing the past few years a great many communities have gone in for "economy” where it is most dang erous—by lessening appropriations for the fire department. Mr. Gregory cites a case in a large Southern city, where the firemen, in fighting a blaze in a manufac turing plant, could do almost noth ing because the hose was so old that it could not stand normal pressure. They^ were able, through a fortunate circumstance, to bor row new hose from a private con cern. Otherwise a conflagration might have resulted. Ill aiivinvi vii » j vuvj in inv v*v partment appropriations necessi tated laying up the fire boat. When a water-front fire broke out the city was confronted by the ludic rous spectacle of a handful of fire-' men in a row boat attempting to pull a line out from shore to con trol the fire! It is probable that mo,t cities andj towns have economized principally in the matter of fire apparatus.,! Old engines are allowed to keep on' in service when they are outmoded and inefficient, or in need of re-j pair. New engines which are vi-J tally needed are not purchased. A few thousand dollars is "saved”— and millions of dollars and a mul titude of lives are endangered. There’s no worse place tO' cut costs than the fire department.1 And there’s no better time to im-' prove than right now. The Fed-, eral government is making excep-’ tionally favorable loans to cities, 30; per cent of which is to be an out-' right gift, for needed public works.! No "public work” is more valu-^ able to every citizen than an A-lj fire department. I Odds and ends of interest from the industrial front follow: STEEL—Iron Age says that the industry is just beginning to work smoothly under code; main trouble is labor problems. ELECTRIC POWER —Report for late week shows 10 per cent rise over same last year. RAILROADS — Rumor grows that ■every form of transportation —rails, buses, trucks waterways, aviation—will be brought under one federal agency. Freight car loadings in the fourth quarter of 193 3 are forecast as being 14 per cent above year ago. DIVIDEND PAYMENTS — Ratio of favorable to unfavorable dividend actions by American com panies sharply increased. Two thirds of all changes in August were favorable. COPPER—Producers and smelt ers said to be reaching agreement on cod'e. im ■ )} BARKUS SEZ HE’S GOT A FREAK OVER TO HIS HOUSE — A TWO-LEGGED CALF - ITS CALL I MG OH HIS DAUGHTER.

COMING WINTER TO BE COLDEST IN YEARS Harrisburg, Pa.—The Pennsyl vania farmer, whose reputaton as a w’eather prophet runs far bevond the state’s borders, warns that the coming winter will be the coldest and longest in many years. Take the heavy coat of the pig eon for example, says the man who "tells” the weather by "signs”. Then, too, mushrooms are plenti ful, the bark of the trees is heavy, corn husks are thick, it was a rainy summer—and if you believe in signs, you know it’s going to be the kind of winter grandpa used to rave about.

Refreshing relief from constipa tion troubles for only a cent or less a dose—that’s why thousands of men and women prefer Thed ford’s Black-Draught. Too Much Idle Land In State - With over one and one-half million acres, of cleared land now lying idle in the State any addi tional clearing by cuttng off tim ber wall only add to that land on which the farmer is paying taxes and from which he is getting no return. "This idle land is just as harm ful in an economic way as idle la bor,” says R. W. Graeber, exten son forester as State College. "Th< natural erosion and leaching will cause untold losses in soil fertility and this cannot be replaced in a day, a year, or a number of years.” ’ To this million and a half acres now lying out will be added thous ands of other acres released from cash ctS} cultivation under the crop reduction program, points out Graeber and he advises farmers not to cut timber and clear land but to plant trees on much of the land that is not now in cultivation. j Many farmers are even now cut-, ting down trees that within a few| years would make valuable lumber, Graeber says. This timber, in; most cases, is not of commericial. size but, in a few years, would be! worth considerably more as saw! logs than they will bring as cord wood. Pines that are from 15 to 2 01 years old are increasing in value from two to three dollars an acre! which is enough to pay taxes and, have a little surplus if figured from| a money saving standpoint. Anvj additional clearing will only mean mere land to wash away and the farmer will lose in both soil and timber value, says Graeber. SOCKS 74 YEARS OLD The old shirt and socks often worn by A.

STANDING ALONe. | For just a moment, in the next spring, there seemed to be a renewed popular interest. The crowds flocked around Jesus in the old fa miliar way; the disciples noted it joypusly. "The multitudes come together to him again,” they ex claimed and at once their hopes were busy with new visions of his suc cess. But dismay followed’ fast. Against, their ardent protest he car ried them off into close retirement/ They were restless, lonely, distress ed at the high handed fashion in which he turned away supporters. Was it necessary to be so harsh with the Pharisees? Why should he have ridiculed them out of his company? Why tell people that their precious ritual was less accept-1 able to God than the cry for mercy of an untaught publican? Why slight their ready hospitality in fa-! vor of an outcast like Zacchaeus.! Jesus’ little group of friends were' still groping for a clear vision of message and purposes when for the' last time he led them down to Je rusalem and the final feast. The one week of his life which’ everybody knows is the last week. Hence we pass over it in these ar ticles. It began with the triumph ant shouts of "hosanna”; it ended with the bloodthirsty cries of "cru-i \ci£y“ . I : Between th^ first morning of :numph ana the last hours of mor tal agony it witnessed his finest victories over his opponents. Never were his nerves more steady, his! courage higher, his mind more keen. Deliberately he piled up the moun tain of hatred, knowing that it would kill him, but determined that there should be no doubt through the ages as to what he had stood for, and' why he had to die. Every man who loves courageous manhood ought to read these final chapters at least once a year. Any attempt to abridge or paraphrase them would result in failure or worse. We pass over them in rev erent silence, stopping only for a glimpse of a most wonderful scene. It is the final supper on that cool, quiet Thursday night. He knew1 that he should never meet with the disciples around the table again. All the memories of the three great years must have crowd ed into his mind as the meal prog ressed. And this was the end. His rela tives had turned their backs on him; his home town had scorned his advances, his best friend had died doubting; the people had turned awav, and his enemies were about to triumph—is there any other leader who would have stood forth unbroken by such blows? FIVE-CENT CIGAR INCREASE MADE With a price advance in prospect for leadings brands - of cigarettes, manufacturers of many lines of popular five-cent brands of cigars announced an increase of $1.50 pet ing costs. This adlvance will not be pass ed on t° the smokers but, accord ing to retailers, indicates the time may be returning when the nation will be craving "a good five-cent cigar.” The manufacturejrsJ bas ed their price advances on increas ng costs. The widely anticipated advance in cigarette prices is related to the recently determined minimum price of 17 cents per pound for tobacco for domestic consumption.

Relieves Women’s Pains Here is an example of how Cardui has helped thousands of women: “I was very thin and pale,” writes Mrs. F. H. Scott, of Roa noke, Va. “I suffered from weak ness and a severe pain in my back. This pain unnerved me, and I did ndt feel like doing my work. I did not care to go places, and felt worn, tired, day after day. “My mother had taken Cardui, and on seeing my condition she advised me to try it. I have never regretted doing so. I took three bottles and it built me up. I gained in weight, my color was better and the pain left my back. I am stronger than I had been in some time.” Cardui, the purely vegetable medi cine which so many women take and recommend, is sold by local druggists. FOR SALE Small and large farms.
