Who Pays The Bill? ■S' In a governors’ conference held last week at Biloxi, Mississippi, the ques- tiHi of the works-relief set up was und er debate and Governor Ehringhaus, of North Carolina, asked about the state’s part in the administration of the funds and stated that it is being made a pat ronage proposition, or words to that effect. As the discussion continued one governor stated that since the federal government is paying the bill it should spend the money as it sees fit. One would think from such comment that the government, nationally speak ing, is some kind of foreign Santa Claus that is giving us all the works-relief money. Whether the funds are borrowed or paid out of the treasury we as Ameri can people, big, little, rich or poor, will pay the bill and when we think of the amount of federal taxes North Carolina pays we can realize that what the fed eral government pays out it must first collect. i Vacationing At Home With the hot rays of a June sun streaming down from the heavens thoughts linger around plans for vaca tion. In this connection we wish to quote the following editorial from Fri day’s Winston-Salem Journal: For many years newspapers and merchants lutve preached the ‘‘trade at home ’ doctrine. Uow that June is here and summer is mak ing Its near approach apparent, all folk who are planning to take vacations might do well to apply the principle in this connection. The mountains of Western North Caro'ina embrace the finest scenery, the finest atmos phere and the most sparkling streams in East ern America. The beaches of Eastern Carolina cannot be excelled in facilities for sport, amusement and recreation. The Atlantic Ocean is the .same ocean at Wrightsville, Carolina Beach and Jiorehead City as at Atlantic City, Virginia Beach and other “furrin’’ points. So why not vacation in Carolina this year and come to know more about your home state? Those who have done this before prob ably have an excuse for wandering beyond the hounds of the fine old commonwealth Thomas Wolfe has so appropriately re-christened Ca tawba. But tho.se who have not yet seen all of their state certainly should vacation in it and learn more of it before taking off for far seas and distant lands. ’ And while the idea of seeing Caro lina fir.st is fresh in our minds lets us bring the subject a little closer and consider just how much we know about Wilkes county. Although it is not rea sonable to suppose that we would spend several days on a vacation only a few miles from home we should know more about the scenic beauty of our own county in order that we may tell others about it or pick some of the beauty spots for a day or two for our selves. Rendezvous Mountain state park, to which interest is attracted as a historic _ shrine, is a wonderful spot for picnics and outings. Mountain springy release sparkling water from *he cool grey stone of the mountain and the cool breeze of mountain shade is not to be ignored. Pores Knob, that sentinel mountain on the southern edge of the county, af- ’ fords wonderful paroramic scenery and from its summit one can gaze over jnracticslly all of the county and far in- ito piedmont North Carolina. I Other places we could mention vwould include Stone Mountain near Traphill, the Airbellows mountains, ‘littie Grandfather, the Big Lump, Ttmapkins Knob and other beautiful portions of the Blue Ridge. B«tfore we motor into other parts lo ^ on mountain scenery let us learn oui* own coonty holds in store in iray of natural beauty. y'- LjCljjP&rmer,'lecturer of ^ange, ddivered ; a 7fon(iirfnl ai^di‘mc-at the courthouee ih_ W^kea* Boro Tuesiday i^ht an^poiSed* out many Of the advantagwof^Joi^anlM- tion among rural people. ® fAlthough the crowd wi^ fairly repre sentative of many sections of the county ii*was somewhat disappobating in that many rural people, and even comm^- iiy leaders, missed one of the mdst in structive addresses ever*® delivered in the county. The Journal-Patriot is no pubUpity agent for any organization birt iMoes panse to reflect that the people^shouid^ manifest a greater int^est in the Grange, which is the oldest and the leading organization among fraterni ties for the rural, or farming, popula tion* especially in view of the fact that around 500 delegates, representing the better element of the rural population of the state, will gather here for the state Grange convention in September. The Grange is not a radical organi zation. It does not try to force anything but works consistently for the common good of the rural population. As stated by Mr. Farmer, only three-tenths of rural people are actively aligned with any cooperative organization or move ment and it can very well be said that the three-tenths are those who bring about the reforms and work for the ob jectives that result in the common wel fare of the people. Agriculture has suffered immensely because of the lack .of organization. Farmers too often take the position that nothing can be done anyway and it is just as good to trudge along in the same old path. This attitude on the part' of those who were not organized did not bring about the establishment cf the rural free delivery of mail or the many other benefits that have resulted from concentrated effort. -■■it ^ THE BOOK the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible,” and which contains four g>eat treasures.

Eller, county health officer, accompan- THE BETHANY SISTERS They lived a little way out of Jerusalem in a sheltered suburban home which Jesus loved to visit for refreshment and rest. One of them, Martha, was the practical housekeeper; the oth er, Marp, had the- soul of a dreamer and the eyes of faith. Martha was not lacking in faith. Hers was one of the most beautiful of all confessions. Jesus asked her if she believed in a doctrine, and she said, “Yes, Lord: that is to say, I be lieve in you.” (John 11:27). As for the theology of it, she was bewildered. Her brother was dead; she did not see any way out if that yrrow, but she believed in Jesus, and He accepted that faith at its full value. Millions of people who are perplexed by the creeds ought to read the story of Martha and be comforted. But Mary’s was the inventive love that knew how to do the unusual thing and do it beau tifully. Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them tiiat sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then said one of his disciples, Judas Is cariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? ^ Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. Her love with prophetic. She had no inside knowledge of the plots to kill Jesus. She simply had apprehension of coming evil and she knew that the time to do the beautiful thing is now, “against my burial." Much of our extravagance at funerals is hor rible. not because of the waste, for love demands an expression beyond the calculation of cold economy, but because it mocks the penurious- ness of the years that have gone before. Mary knew that the time to be extravagant is when love can express itself in an appeal to life and not in a costly and useless libation after death. So she made her gift of three hundred pence, and Jesus said: Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preach'xi in the whole worid, there shall also this, that this woman hath, done, be told for a memorial to her. He never said that of the deed of any man.
