SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable In Advance One Year _ $1.00 Three Years _ $2.00 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. jvumrNVjr uu 1 i.v*jrv mviurai Here’s an encouraging para graph, taken from the Mining Re view of Salt Lake City: "In creasing activity in the metal mining industry, augumented by $3 5 gold, and a more favorable outlook for the other metals, is the gladsome refrain now groming in volume and strength from all sec tions of the West. A recent sur vey among more than four thous and companies from Arizona to the Canadian border gives definite evidence of a return to activity . . . Assyers are busy again, old mills are turning wheels that haven’t moved in more than three .years and many new ore treating plants are contemplated, smelter receipts show a substantial increase in ore shipments, and equipment and sup ply houses are awakening, after a long nap, to realize that there is a growing interest in( their merch andise.” workers, tanners, storekeepers, professional men, industrialists of all kinds, will smile happily onl! reading that. It means thousands' of potential jobs, a vast jump in.j Western purchasing power, a tre mendous field for selling services and commodities of every kind and shape—from legal knowledge to groceries. And it likewise means revived tax income for govern ment. The outlook for mining is better than; it has been for many years. That, in turn, considerably im proves the outlook for recovery in general. THE FARM HOME The farm housing survey, a pro ject of the Civil Works Adminis tration, is producing facts and statistics that are of exceptional interest. The survey covers such factors as condition of walls, chimneys, roofs, etc., the age of the struc ture, the number of rooms and oc cupants, and whether or not it has ordinary conveniences and com forts. The average urban dweller will be surprised to learn that a heavy percentage of the farm homes are entirely without plumb ing of any kind. The buljc of the homes are in only fair condition; rr.aniy are classified as being poor. And onty a comparative handful have electric or gas labor savinv devices. Here is a vast market for the sale of building materials and sup plies. In.a number of states the market has barely been touched; homes are little different than they were twenty-fjve years ago. Va rious plans are on foot to make it possible for more farmers to fin ance new buildinjg and effect im provements and alterations to old structures. If the plans go through it will mean not only better living quarters for the farmer—it mill mean that a legion of men will finjd jobs, both in the actual work of construction and in the industries supplying materials. It is the general opinion that stimulated home building, in both rural and urban areas, is essential to achieving general economic re covery. And it is pleasant to note that the outlook for new con struction is better now than at any time in the past four years. THE STRENGTH BEHIND SILVER There is great significance in the growing strength of the "silver bloc" in the Senate and the House. Not many months ago a proposal that would have stabilized the me tal and increased its worth was it is believed that there is a major ity in both houses for similar leg islation. There is unquestionably a vital need for the jobs, the investments, the purchasing power, the taxes, that stimulated mining activities would create. And the slowness with which farm prices have risen, in spite of aggressive work on the part of the government and priv ate farm groups, has led to the be lief by many that a change in mon etary policy is essential. "X”, the unknown factor in the case, is the President. He is seeking a middle road between the friends and enemies of more valuable sil ver—i road that will escape the danger of uncontrolled inflation. I JOBS IN THE GROUND There are thousands of potential jobs in the ground. The jobs will be provided by the mining industry—when the min- j ing comes back. Not many years ago the mines were the greatest ' employers and taxpayers in a num ber of states. Their prosperity was responsible for the prosperity of agriculture, retailers, local indus tries of all kinds. " And the money they '"created” went far beyond state borders, and made itself felt ^ throughout the entire country. y A mining revival would be a long step toward good times. c THJE GUARANTEE OF 1 DEMOCRACY "The freedom of the press is ^ he sole hope of freedom for the ^ )eople. A dictatorship cannot en- ^ lure a free press, for with one it f tannot maintain itself continuous- I y. A dictatorship—be it Com munist, Fascist, or Nazi—always puts the press under its heel. Then 1 the people know nothing because they can hear only what the dicta- ' tor chooses to let them. A free j press is the sole guarantee of a free , democracy. 1 "Legislative economy which will I n ct-rirr Kalinnna nf r- I state budgets instead erf the extra vagance of the past two decades, as reflected in an incrase of states ^ debts of 5 8 per cerit, represents , the only sound policy for our gov- , ;rnments to follow.”—The Index < published by the New York Trust 1 Company. 1 SALES AND SERVICE j The old idea of retail trade was ( to make sales anyway. It did not make much difference whether the 1 goods were right or not, provided j sales were made. But unfortunately some of those , goods passed oyer the counters did ( not stay passed. The customers ] would discover that they were' not ^ right, and the goods wcjuld come ' bounding back. In other cases, the ( goods were used, but the customers . did not like them, and conceived a < prejudice against the store. That kind of sale is considered no good now, at least it is so considered in the stores of Salisbury. Our met- - chants do not care to have goods 1 go out of the store unlesss they feel ; sure that the customer is going to be pleased and satisfied. HOME TOWN THOUGHTS If you want your home town to go ahead, take hold and doi a little pulling yourself. If you want your home town business to employ the labor of the community, give that business your full support by buying supplies at home. If you want your business to grow, you will have to demonstrate to the people by advertising that it is worthy of a large share of their patronage. Boys and Girls!

Isn’t it bad enough to have one’s life shared by four squalling sisters, without the whole world staring at us?” Still, Miss Annete 3 might possibly add, just touching her hair lightly with that gesture inherited from Mjssl Eve—"Still, why not?

TAKING THE SOU ARE ROOT OF PI One day last week I heard a lady wondering why it is so much more trouble to cook for seven than for six. She said that the extra - work is all out of proportion to the expense and • she didn’t know why. It is probably because of the pie. You see, practically anybody can cut a pie into six fairly equal portions; bur it takes a knowledge of geometry and almost the use of j calipers to divide one into seven t] parts that will not look so different t, as to suggest partiality. t] —Mrs. Thco.

The devia- c tion may be slight, but at the same a time, it may be the start of some- 1 thing really serious. It is truly 1 an instance of “a stitch in time.” I The inspection should be brief I and simple but thorough. No hes itancy or alarm should be shown \ by the teacher. No comments 1 should be ,made lest fear arise. ( When excluding a pupil, smile and t give orders quietly. The teacher ] should never diagnose. His job j is to observe, and knowing the us- < ual appearance of his pupils, he should be alert to every change. , Dr. Ireland will tell how to care ' for children’s teeth in his next or- \ t icle. ' Who’s Afisrid of the Big Bad Wolves?-by A. B. Chapin I ~ " % s .s ~i ^ <-<=, <• TODAY AND TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) Iduction—it follows that the larger the share of capital accruing tol la bor, the larger the share of taxa tion must be borne by labor. There is no such thing as taxing capital out of existence. Individual cap italists may be taxed into poverty, but that is merely the conversion of private capital into public capi tal. The only way capital is destroy ed is by wasting it. Private indi viduals waste it by spending it on ifnproductive luxuries, gt<iat es tates, yachts, in other ways that serve nq legitimate qjeed but are merely ostentation. Government wasts it by giving it away in re-| turn for little or no productive labor, and by letting political, grafters steal it as it passes through | their hands. HISTORY_ 1645 ruling The first effort to regulate the use of private capital in, this coun try is set down in the Proceedings of the General Court of Plymouth Colony for the year 1645. John Stockbridge of Scituate, who was my earliest American ancestor, was brought before the court and charged with being a mondpolist, in that he owned all the water powers in, the colony and had put only one of them to use, with his grist mill. He was ordered to either build mills on the unused waterpowers or sell them to some one who would. He built a saw mill on one site, and sold the other to his son-in-law. It has always seemed to me that a sound principle was established there. Private capital might just ly be required to go to work for some social purpose, such as build ing a sawmill. In a perfect social system it would not be permissible for its owner to withhold more of its benefits than sufficient to maintain himself and his family in reasonable comfort. Such a rule would be absurd, however, even wicked, in a poli tical system riddled with ineffi ciency and honeycombed with graft. Private capital and its owners, at the worst, are far more honest and far more careful of the uses they put their capital to than any government I know of. EXTORTION TRAP Twq men were slain by depart ment of justice agents and police Sunday at Phoenix, Ariz., after the officers had sprung a trap set for extortionist who demanded $3, 500 from S. Diamond, wealthy de partment store owner. The sus pected extortionist, identified as Louis Walsh, son of a woman clerk clerk in the store, was shot down , as he attempted to flee after he was alleged tq have taken the < money from Diamond at Second ‘ and Roosevelt streets. He was a- ] bout 30'years of age. The other i man was an innocent victim of j shotgun and pistol fire. it is not quite clear whether the |; hundreds of thousands of girls who ' will graduate from high schools ; and colleges this year will turn the intellectual world upside down, ' but any way they are making a lot , of commotion in the style shops, and beauty parlors. “Now I’m the Picture of Health,” Says Lady After Taking CARDUI Here is how Cardui helped an Alabama lady. ... "I suffered from pains ip my back and sides,” writes Mrs. A. G. Gray, of Cusseta, Ala. “I was so thin arid weak, I read of Cardui and decided to take it. I noticed at once it was help ing me. X i .pt taking Cardui un til I had i rished five bottles. I gained. My health was much bet ter. Now I am the picture'of health. My color is good and my weigh! increased.” . . .

Such sufferers will lLL cancers. Such sufferers will ite, so great is the urge to live . . . t is indeed pitiful. What shall we do with the in alid whom we know to be hope ;ss? Just one thing—make him as omfortable as possible to the end; hat is our duty. We should never :nd ourselves to the contemptible use of lying to those on the brink f eternity. I have had the man with incur ble irrhosis of the liver ask me 'doctor, when are you going to get ne out of this?’’ Did I tell him, 'my dear sir, you are far past the stage of being cured?” Not a bit af it. I would simply say, "This is a case when we must do our very best, and let thorough understand ing be our guide; that’s the best anybody can do.” And I try to impress upon all my sufferers that, it is not given to mankind to know precisely what will happen and when. , I have seen, the old "botanical doctor” agree to cure an incurable cancer of the breast with poultices made from alder bark—and he sage ly counselled that the bark must be scraped upward, toward the top of the shrub! We must have the incurables. It is a lot of all to die when the time comes. It is our duty, so far as in our power, to protect and guard the welfare of the stricken one to the last.. It is none the less a duty to fight the scoundrels who would rob the incurable victim.
