Charles E. Lind bergh and his wife, the former Anne Morrow, is news which makes one feel more certain that fate has its compensations for those who deserve the good-will of the world. The little boy who was kidnapped from the Lindbergh home five years ago this month and brutally murdered, can never be brought back to life; but a kindly Provi dence has blessed his par ents with two little boys to replace their first-bon; John now four years old, and the new baby. There is something about this domestic event in the Lindbergh family which should touch every Ameri can heart. The “Lone Eagle” who first flew the Atlantic alone just over ten years ago still remains the heroic figure which he be came at that time. Fame has not spoiled him. In his life and conduct he has re mained exactly the sort of a young man which most Americans would wish their sons to grow up to be. We think that the whole nation will rejoice wTith “Lindy” and “Anne” over their lat est blessing. SOLVING THE RELIEF PROBLEM There is much to be said in favor of the plan, now being discussed in Wash ington, for throwing half of the burden of unemploy ment relief back upon the states and municipalities. The plea that the states cannot afford to carry the load falls down when it is realized that, whether Fed eral, state or local funds are used, they all come out of the pockets of the taxpay ers—the same taxpayers. The merit of the plan is that it would tend to much more careful scrutiny of re lief rolls by state and local officials charged with ad ministering relief and rais ing half of the money local ly. There would be much less extravagance and in all probability a great reduc tion in the number of per sons found to be in actual need of relief. This may not ba the best possible solution but il seems better than the pre sent situation. It is certain that relief expenditures by the Federal governmenl cannot continue forever as a permanent part of our na tional economic system. The best way to end them is for the states to reassert theii rights and reassume theii duties towad their own de pendents. BUILD THE FLORIDA CANAL The Florida Ship Cana’ has moved another step to ward ultimate construction, by its approval by the House Rivers and Harbors Committee. The bitter par tisan prejudice which has lost most of its force. The Chief of Engineers of the U. S. Army, whose corps will do the job of building the canal, has reported, after intensive investigation by the Army experts, that there is no reason why it should not be completed, and a hundred reasons why it should be. The public is at last be ginning to realize that a sea-level ship canal across Florida is no mere local project, but one which, by providing a shorter, swifter and safer passage for ships between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic seaboard, will benefit the commerce of the entire nation east of the Rocky Mountains. More over, it will be an invalu able bulwark of national defense. It 'will cost $200,000,000 to build the Florida Canal. It will pay every cent of the cost back with interest, in 36 years. It ought to be built, and Congress ought to make an appropriation at this session to carry on this self-liquidating work. - TODAY AND TOMORROW by Frank Parker Stockbridge Rockefeller . an organizer Before he was fifty, John D. Rockefeller, son of a country horse-doctor, had made himself the richest man in the world. He did it by seizing the opportun ity offered by a new1 indus try, oil. He was an organ izer by instinct. He brought order and system into the poduction, refining and dis tribution of oil. He made so much monev in a feild where men failed, that his unsuccessful rivals accus ed him of almost every crime in the business calen dar. He was the worst-hat ed man in America when he retired fom business forty years ago. When he died the other day at 97 he was perhaps the best-loved .man in Amer ica. For in those forty years he had given away, for the benefit of humanity, almost all of his vast fortune. He endowed education, medi cal research and many oth er great movements for the betterment of the world. And the world’s judgment of Mr. Rockefeller changed, i It is never wise to brand any man as a villian until time has had its chance to reveal his real character. Mr. Rockefeller was for tunate in living to see him self vindicated. * * * Money ... and men ! I know and have known many of the world’s weal thiest men. I do not think of many who valued money for its own sake. Most of the rich men I have known have felt that their wealth placed an obligation upon them to use their money for jthe service of their fellow jmen. Andrew Carnegie said jonce that it was sinful for 'any man to die rich; and | he gave his fortune away ■ before he died. I Henry Ford once told me ithat he bought out his (stockholders because they (wanted the Ford profits for jthemselves, in dividends. He felt they did not own the money; it belonged to the people who made and bought Ford cars, and he wanted to use the profits to pay the workers more and build cheaper and better cars.. The fact that a few men have used their great wealth selfishly does not seem to me to warrant de nounciation of all rich men as enemies of the people. * * * Opportuntiy . . . vision ^ Mr. Rockefeller, like all She ^fashioned ^Better %5han She IQiew-by A.

" ' 111 "" 1 1 1 '■i "-1 11 1 * ItevJ&e$ Jfcana 14 1777 other men who have accu mulated Jwealth- by their own efforts, made money because he seized an oppor tunity which was open to anybody. Others may have seen it, but he was able to utilize it. It is often said that there are no more opportunities. That is true for those who lack the vision to see and the courage to grasp the op portunities which lie ready to their hands. I saw a motor-boat going up the St. Johns River the other day, loaded with freight for in land Florida points. The big steamship companies had abandoned their lines up the river, because they did not pay. A bright young man with little capital but lots of energy started the new freight line and is get ting rich. Big fortunes are being made by men who saw the opportunity in such new things as radio, aviation and the chemical industries. Every day develops new opportunities for the able. * * * Character . . . essential I have seen many men fail, and in most instances I could trace the cause of their failure to the lack of ione essential ingredient of success—character. All the ability, technical skill, “smartness” in the world will not bring enduring suc cess unless those qualities are backed up by the most important of all—character. I-have often tried to define “character,” but it is one of those things which every body recognizes but few can explain in words. It means honesty, but more than mere legal honesty. _ It implies an inbred quality which makes it impossible for the man who has it to do a dishonest thing, to turn out a dishonest piece of work, to be “tricky” in any human relationship. Mr. Rockefeller’s great est gift was his character. Every really successful man I know has that quality of character. Work . . . price of success Nobody ever made im portant money without working for it. The only exception I can think of is those who discoverd trea sure hidden in the earth— and most of them have had to work hard before they found it. It is certainly true that the men who operate great business enterprises work a lot harder than do most of their employees. The price of success is literally to have to live with one’s business. Even when they appear to be playing, successful busi ness men are thinking about their business, trying to fi gure out ways to turn chance contacts to good ac count. There never has been an easy road to riches. It makes me sore, sometimes, to hear men who drop ev erything when the clock strikes “quitting time” and give no thought to their work until next morning, grouse because the “boss” has more than they have. He works for it.

Sheep growers of Tyrrell, [Hyde and Washington coun ities held a cooperative sale | of lambs at Plymouth on I June 1. The animals were graded by L. I. Case, live stock specialist from State College. H. T. Watkins of Blanch, Caswell County, will secure three tons per acre of hay from a fourteen acre field of oats, barley, wheat, vetch and winter peas. The hay will be fed to a herd of 20 Jersey Cows. The Family Doctor MORE FIRST AID A small boy isn’t worth a cent who doesn’t try to climb the | shade tree in the rear lawn once! in awhile. Naturally he may fall i in his effort to get some place that he doesn’t belong. He may; tumble from his tricycle in an unusual burst of speed. He cuts his scalp; it bleeds something1 fierce; he runs to mamma howl ing for first aid. Don’t fear fracture of the skull from a trifling injury. Don't fear bleeding to death. Wash the wound with clean soap and warm water, using clean things always. DON’T POUR PEROXIDE IN A SCALP WOUND at any period. After washing as above, paint the wound with tincture of iodine; smarts a little, but ap ply it freely. Dust freely with talcum powder and apply a loose bandage. Keep the wound dry! until recovery. For a “crop” of chiggers, get at ’em early as possible, before they have bored deeply. First a scrubbing with good soap and water: dry and apply the bug-i-: cide, whatever you have. I use; a mixture of carbolic acid, one dram, spirits of camphor, one; ounce, menthol, twenty grains, ^ and rose-water ,enough to make four ounces. This can be daub- j ed over the lesions freely, al lowing it to dry without wiping1 off. Sunburn is not to be sneezed at; it has been accompanied by big dose of the untra-violet ray —a blessing in disguise. The oxide of zinc, a dram to the ounce of rose-water ointment will soothe the inflamed skin in tune. Keep out of the strong sunlight until well. For a child’s “stubbed toe,” bruised, torn bleeding, soak the foot in water with a teaspoonful of carbolic acid—or formalin— to the pint. Make the member dean. Tren apply dressing or jcarbollized or borated vaseline and wrap comfortably. And, O, green apples! Colic! A big dose of milk of magnesia quick. And who would object to fifteen drops of paregoric for the pain? SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON The Brotherly Love of Judah. Lesson for June 13th. Gene sis 44:18-34. Golden Text: Hebrew 13:1. Judah, Jacob’s fourth son, proposed that Joseph be sold to the Ishmaelites rather than be killed, “for,” said he, “he is our brother and our flesh.” Later, when the silver cup was found in Behjamin’te sack, and the brothers were thrown into a panic of fear, Judah made the pathetic appeal to Joseph chos en for our lesson text. Very appealingly he offered to take Benjamin’s place as a slave in ] Joseph’s service in order that the youngest brother might re turn to bring comfort to Jacob in his years of decline. “For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?” No wonder Joseph’s heart was touched. It seems fitting that Judah should receive the right of in heritance belonging to the first born. Reuben ,the oldest bro ther, lost his birthright because of his lust. The blood-thirsty Simeon and Levi, the next in line, were defeated by their ene mies and fall into disfavor with their brothers. Judah therefore became the head of the family, and his tribe early established itself at Bethlehem where David i one of its greatest sons, found ed a dynastry culminating in; Jesus. Our Lord was loyal to the] spirit of Judah when he made ] the love of man a cardinal em phasis in his teaching. “Thou! shalt love thy neighbor as thy self” was to Jesus the second great commandment. It was not: a novelty with him for we find, it in the Book of Leviticus. But; he gave it a much grander set-; ting, the parable of the Good Samaritan, one of his happiest inspirations. The priest and the Levite had undoubted zeal for God, but their piety was sadly divorced from sympathy with their fellows. The Samaritan, on the other hand, although doubtless deficient in the techni cal training of the synagogue, cherished a vital faith. For mercy and compassion are cen tral in true religion.
