But if we ask too great a sum,

Because He stays here, pving 'dl.
And more and more His bounty press

Here is one for Ripley’s Believe It or

in 1932 has already paid 113 per cent in
dividends to the depositors with two more
dividends to come.
We note that a young man has attract
ed considerable attention by dividing an
angle into three equal parts, a thing that
to date mathematicians have said could
not be done. This is most interesting, but
the thing that is apt to attract still more
attention these days is some plan to di
vide the family income so that it will
cover all the family needs.
Creating^ Impressions
Little does a person realize that at all
times he or die is creating impressions
upon someone else—impressions that can
greatly help or injure along life’s road.
What one says or does, even concerning
the most trivial things, may often change
the course of a life for better or for worse.
To youth impressions are of the great
est importance. How important it is that
he closely guard his everyday behavior in
order to create favorable impressions with
the people he meets.
This is an ever changing world and the
man today who appears insignificant may
be the man to whom you apply for a posi
tion in the years to come.
There may be a day when you ponder
something like this: “\Miy didn’t I get
that job. I can do that work as well as he
can.” If someone else beats you to it it
may be because he has created favorable
impressions upon the person who employ
ed him.
Knowingly or unknow ingly persons with
whom all of us come ip contact and con
tinually sizing us up and without being
too self-conscious we can conduct our
selves in such a manner that the sizing
up will not be antagonistic.
A Coordinated Effort
Thursday, October 31, should be a quiet
day about here for a person seeking crime
new's. Law' enforcement officers from
fourteen northwestern counties will gath
er here for a conference sponsored by the
institute of government.
We rather like the idea of these con
ferences. Police chiefs, sheriffs, mayors,
deputies, solicitors, judges, federal agents
and others engaged in law enforcement
will be present to hear many of their prob
lems discussed.
These conferences will be greatly bene
ficial if they serve to more closely co or
rdinate the law enforcing agencies in the
state.
Co-operation between all officers of the
law would mean greater efficiency. We
do not mean to say that the several de
partments of law enforcement are not co
operating. They are, but still we believe
that even greater strides can be taken
akmg this line that will enable them to do
a faster job than has been possible in the
JMMt. r'C' " '

Bmphasis should be stressed on the
training of a child in the home. Too often
it is the case that a parent leaves the job
of character forming to the public schbols,
the Sunday schools and the church. Un
less the foundation is laid in pre-school
years the school will have a difficult job
and is apt to fail without the cooperation
of the home.
New names and new expressions may
be found and used but we like to think of
the two old expressions used by parents
in advising their children: use “good man
ners” and “behave yourself.” Somewhat
old-fashioned, perhaps, or a bit colloquial,
but nevertheless timely foi the boy or;

who grow up to take responsible places as

MORE FOLKS ON THE FARMS
(The State)
According to statistics given out recently, the
number of people living on farms in North
Carolina has increased materially during the
last five years.
It is figured out by the University News Let
ter that during the above period of time there
has been a net gain of 523,322 farms in the
United States. North Carolina has shared in that
increase, but not to the proportions desired.
Numerous plans and schemes have been sug
gested from time to time relative to improving
economic conditions in this section of the coun
try. The most sound and the most sensible plan
of all, however, is to bring about a largrer in
crease in our farm population.
When a man is living on a farm and cultivates
that farm intelligently, depressions and finan
cial reverses throughout the nation have com
paratively little effect upon him.

y THE MOTIVE FOR WAR
(Morganton News-Herald)
Years ago Mark Twain in “The Mysterious
Stranger” recorded thoughts on the motive for
war which make timely reading at this time
when war storms are beginning to lash into
fury in the old world. The American humorist
and philosopher wrote;
There has never been a just one, never an
honorable one—on the part of the instigator of
the war.
I can see a million years ahead, and this
rule will never change in so yiany as half a
dozen instances.
The loud littiehandful—as usual—will shout
for the war. The pulpit will, warily and cauti
ously. object—at first; the great, big dull bulk
of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to
make out why there should be a war, and will
say, earnestly and indignantly, "It is unjust
and dishonorable, and there is no necessity
for it.”
Then the handful will shout louder. A few
fair men on the other side will argue and rea
son against the war with speech and i>en, and at
first will have a hearing and be applauded; but
it will not last long; those others will outshout
them, and presently the anti-war audiences will
thin out and lose popularity.
Before long you will see this curious thing:
the speakers stoned from the platform and free
speech strangled by hordes of furious men who ‘
in their secret hearts are still at one with those
stoned speakers—as earlier—but do not'dare to
say so. ' .
And now the whole nation—pulpit and all—
will take up the war-cry, and shout itself hoarse,
and mob any honest man who ventures to open
his mouth; and presently sofch months will
cease to open.
Nex^ the statesmen will invent clmp lies, put
ting the blame upon the nation that is attacked,
and every man will be glad ol those conscience-
aootoing falsities, and will diligently study
them, and refuse to examine any refutations of
them: and thus he will by sad by convinee Ida-
self that thejwar is just.'and will ^laak .
