C., aa second clasa matter under Act «r March 4. 187*. MONDAY, NOV. 10, 1941 Sell Your Scrap Iron The Agricultural Defense Board is call ing on farmers to sell their scrap iron. On farms throughout the country are great quantities of scrap steel. This scrap is badly needed for defense armaments. Perhaps no single farm has any great amount of scrap metal, but the combined total of all the scrap would make a tre mendous pile of metal. About the tool shed and at myriads of places are old and discarded implements going to waste in rust. There is a cash market for scrap iron here. It will b profitable to gather up the scrap iron, haul it here, get cash for it and at the same time aid American defense efforts Armistice Day Tomorrow we celebrate Armistice Day, which marks the end of the first W orld War. There have been some suggestions that celebration would be amiss because the nation is on the brink, if not already in, a second world war. But Armistice Day means more than the end of a world conflict. It means that America once again triumphed for the forces of freedom and than on November 11, 1918, the stars and stripes waved in triumph after a terrific struggle. And on this Armistice Day we should re dedicate ourselves to the cause of the pre servation of freedom. The pledge again that the stars and stripes will wave for ever over a free America should be renew ed with a deeper sense of appreciation of the American w'ay of living and doing. To Print Or Not To Print It is just as much the problem of an edi tor to select what not to print as it is to select what to print. A newspaper is not under compulsion of law to print everything every reader wants published. Every day a newspaper has the privilege of publishing many items which it leaves out because the editor be lieves that would not warrant the space they would fill. More is rejected than is published, mak ing the ta.sk of .selection more difficult. One test which can be put to a majoritv of items is the number of readers who would be interested in the article under consideration. In other words, what per centage of the potential circulation would be intere.sted enough to read the article? Of course, there is also the element of the type of readers who would be interested and that would have some bearing on the question of to print or not to print. To better continue discussion of this subject we reprint the following comment from The Marion Progress: “The functions of the editors is to select, as wisely as they can, the news, features and material that serves the group of peo ple who buy the newspaper. For exam ple, while news of a church' in Marion i-- published no effort is made to keep the' public informed as to the progress of Mo hammedanism. “Naturally, if news editors of a news paper think that the public is vitally con cerned with developments connected with shipbuilding, they will secure and print news about shipbuilding. Having deter mined the topic, to be handled, the news editor will attempt to give a fair picture of the existing siuation, without distortion and without ulterior motives. “In the editorial columns of a newspaper, on the other hand, the editor is allowed considerable latitude. He can, and to some extent is expected, to parade his re- fle^ons upon public affairs. Some years ago it was considered that an editor must l>e a crusading partisan, seeing nothing ex- ^pt good and ovil, in men and measures.

Needs Pood,'^ Folks XpI!^ Borrowed Comment NOT INTERESTED (Statesville Daily) Former Postmaster Paul younts, charg ed with having mixed too much politic-’ with his official duties, is now engaged in the war maneuvers in the Carolinas, and will be too busy to pester with the details of a trial that will also include a number of his political buddies in Charlotte. It if generally expected that the trial will await Mr. Yount’s convenience. What interests the Charlotte Observer, however, next to Mr. Yount’s guilt or in- nocense, of course, is where the trial will be held and what federal judge will pre side. The Charlotte paper hears that the case may be removed to Statesville or Asheville, and that Judge Webb will step aside and allow some outsider to hear the case. The Charlotte paper would be quite willing for Judge Webb to hear the case or call for help as he chooses, but as for re moving to Statesville or Asheville, it can’t see the point. “The offense with which the prominent and widely admired Char lotte citizen is charged was committed here,” says the Observer. “Mr. Yount is a native of Mecklenburg county and entitled to have this serious issue affecting his of ficial career, his character and his future, settled in his home community.” Good argument, that, and sound. Mr. Younts’ immediate neighbors probably know more about him than will be reveal ed at the trial, and if they enter the jury- box with a preconceived notion of his guill of innocence, that is something the oppos ing lawyers will or should be able to deal with. Younts, as a problem, is largely his community’s concern, excepting that the rest of us hunger to see Uncle Sam’s laws obeyed or enforced, from Sugaw Creek tc Timbuctoo. By all means let Charlotte have the show.. Statesville is not hankering for it We might make a mess with the white wash brush: Charlotte knows the last word in the technique of its use. ereryj farmer In thla county is be ing urged to repair his farm ma. eblnery now Instead of waiting until Spring. The Secretary has asked the County T7SDA Defense Board to organize and carry ont, before March 15, a complete farm machinery repair and recondition ing program. The secretary’s appeal points ont the need and urgency of the farm machinery repair move, and asks support and aid of manufac turers, merchants, m.'Khanlcs, blacksmiths, schools and colleges. The letter. In part, follows: "The year of 1942 will he a critical one for farmers. The Food For Freedom program calls for record farm production. At the s^e time, defense will limit available farm labor. Fanners -who are unable to get enough la bor will have to rely more and more upon farm machinery—but the defense program will mean much less new farm machinery in 1942. You can help your country and yourself by repairing your old machinery now, rather than at tempting to get new machinery j next year. j “The Government is taking steps to provide as much steel and other metal as may be need ed tor all necessary repairs for farm machinery In 1942. To he sure of a supply of necessary re pair parts, manufacturers need to know how much will be required. The’only way to be sure of repair parts is to order them immediate ly. Failure to make repairs now may mean a crop loss later.’’ The Secretary suggested the following things be done at once: “Check over your old machin ery. “Order necessary parts from your dealer. “If parts cannot be obtained, notify your County USDA De fense Board. “As replacement needs arise throughout the year, use substi tutes for steel and iron wherever possible.” The Secretary’s appeal points out that in many areas, county agents and vocational agricultural teachers are arranging for in struction in farm machinery re pair. This, he adds, should be taken advantage of hy farmers or members of farm families. Police Probe Elkin Robbery GOING UP (The Charlotte Observer) End-of-the-month reports all show upward trend. Post offices all over the country report receipts soaring. Hog meat is up, also bed sheets, turnip greens and locomotives. The government upped liquor, and beer rises, especially when the soldiers come to town. Baby’s diaper is higher, along with wo men’s skirts. Tax payments set new high records. Stove pipes, chicken drumsticks and pork and beans apple cider, horse shoes and funeral wreaths—everything is advancing. Naturally, it was found when a vacant public job was to be filled, that of Meck lenburg tax collector, the price had to be Elkin, Nov. 9.—One of the boldest and most mysterious thefte committed in this community in many years was the robbery of approximately $800 in cash and checks from Lowther’s motor ex press truck which operates on a daily schedule between Charlotte and Mt. Airy, via this city. The robbery was alleged to have been committeed yesterday morn ing about 4 o’clock while the driver, whose name has not been learned, was absent a few minu tes, eating an early breakfast at a lunnch room near the Yadkin ap proach to the Hugh Chatham bridge which spans the river here. ^ eiuTse before the demoiSracl^ of the world triumph over lem," Paul H.

He gave a report on his receat’trip to England aa a rep resentative of the tJ.' S. Depart ment of Agriculture, upon the Ih- vitstion of '.the British govern ment. The United States has been called upon to feed 25 per cent of the British people—or about 10 million persons—^this winter and throughout 1942,” Appleby de clared. “Food is extremently short in England, but our ships are reaching the other side of the ocean and conditions are con stantly improving,” he continued. The Government official said that he lost eight pounds, and his companion on the trip, R. M. Evans, National AAA adminis trator, lost 10 pounds, during the four weeks they were ia-England and the two weeks they spent In Portugal. He said they each had only one egg to eat In four weeks, and at no time did they have mflk to drink. Appleby told the Extension workers that they have a big job to do in seeing that the Nation wide “Food for Freedom’’ cam paign is successful. “North Car olina needs to Increase its egg production by 11 percent, and its milk production by 4 percent, in 1942." he said, “and you coun ty farm and home agents, and extension specialists must lead the program and help farm peo ple to achieve their increased production goals.” fiMd for UK woddetionT Titaf i^^on iuw ' bden by fauadfeda of daln^en have:^wrlttoii to State Coll^ re^ cently, rm^orte Proteasor R.’H.

His answer ot most inquiries about a replacement for cotton, seed meal in the .dairy ration has been: "All feeds have advanced in price and at the' present price level,, cottonseed meal furnishes a unit of protein in the dairy rat ion at a lower price than any oth er feed on the market, with the posibillty exception of soybean meal and peanut meal. Both of the latter products are scarce, however.’’ Professor Ruffner says that the dairyman who hrs corn silage as the principal roughage may well use a mixture made up of equal parts, by weight, of ground ear corn, wheat bran, and cottonseed meal. “At the present price,’’ he PthOM three Seeds base of Ae moot eepnc for ^ leMer edra"*’ ' t^ifa''4aiJ7piaB who baa A ly ‘food grade ot tegtuse hay ,]rjit1en madei^np of the fon«w.^' 4eL poitada greend ear; pounds of Wheat hAiC an4 dOd pounds of ' cottonseed /* * “irke reliable North Carolina 4- S-2-1 dairy ration,- which has been tested at State College for several ydars, .consists of 400 pounds of ground ear com, 300 pounds of ^cottonseed meal, 200 pounds of wheat bran, and 100 ponnds of ground oats. ’This is also^ r^mmended by Professor Rnffner as an economical ration at this time.
