Wilkes has a big quota. The people of Wilkes, including companies and corpora tions with the exception of the banks, are asked to invest one million, one hundred and sixty-nine thousand dollars in govern ment securities this month. A good start, but only a start, has been made toward that figure. Your sons, brothers, nephews, neigh bors and friends are dying to preserve the American way of life. What are you doing? Do you have money? If so, why are you not investing that money in war bonds to back up the attack being made by our fighting men? These are heart questions, and are for you to answer in your own mind and to your own satisfaction. Are you who have money and buying war bonds doing all you the war effort? Is your answer “yes”? Can you tell that to the men in fox- boles? Can you tell that to the men who fight treacherous Japs in the jungles of New Guinea? Can you tell that to the men who drove the Japs from Attu and Kiska in bloody, hand-to-hand fighting? Can you tell that to our fighter and bomber pilots who carry on in the face of death, and often carry out their duties in the presence of death? See your bank of postoffice today and put those dollars in the fight. are not can for She'll Miss Him Wilkes people team with regret that L. L. Carpenter is leaving the county.

Reasonable regulation wiH'pre- sent no problem. On the other hand, these markets will have little excuse for exis tence, no matter how free and untrammel ed they may be, if our enterprise-system loses its capacity to serve society. “Restrictions on the creative genius and productive powers of the American busi ness man and industrialists are infinitely more dangerous to our American "way of life and much more likely to cause anemic, markets than any other type of regulation. “Wartiihe cooperation and mutual re spect between government and industry may be born of necessity, but. we must see to it that it lasts over into the peace period. “Business has a chance to sell itself to government. Government should take ad vantage of the opportunity to sell itself to business.

" ORGANIZATION AND AGONIZING . There is a vast difference between or ganization and agonizing. Many years ago our churches organised little and agoniz ed much. As a -consequence they had marvelous, soul-stirring revivals and peo ple were born into the kingdom of God and sanctified holy in large numbers. Revival fires were kindled in thousands of homes and churches, and men, women and child ren went forth with victory in their hearts, souls and lives to serve and worship the true and living God. They were separated from the evils of the world, lived godly, righteous, holy lives, and as a consequence the sinful world “took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus”. Their Christian influence, preaching, testifying, singing, praying and persuasion brought sinners to repentance and believers to holiness. In those days Christians prayed much; yet, they agonized in prayer for lost souls, and consequently mighty revi vals swept the churches and communities. There was not much organization in our churches then, as it was not deemed neces sary. Agonizing took the place of organi zation. 0 how great was the difference in results! Today our churches have almost quit agonizing and gone to organizing. The majority are loaded down with organiza tion. As a consequence our homes are without a family altar; our churches are almost spiritually dead; no revivals any more of any consequence in the most of them, and especially in the formal churches, hence the awful curses of sin ant! wickedness that are sweeping the nations of the earth. It is drunkenness, idolatry, adultry, pleasure-seeking, squandering of money by millions and billions of dollars that is a curse and a blight to humanity, both soul and body. Then it is war, war, bloody, horrible, ungodly, wicked, hellish, damnable, life-destroying, peace-wreck ing. home-wrecking, property-destroying, soul-cursing, soul-damning, hell-populating WAR! Absolutely. The devil is having his day. When Christians quit agonizing in prayer, and churches quit agonizing Tn practically every civic campaign he Xn ^ n/*j-nnv posts 01 sought out to occupy dorehip, to which he gave freely of his aers vi Tnanner and tal- . Md uaed hia tactful manner and tal- bring awceaa to whatever projec: and his unselfish for him success in then go to organizing, organizing, and keep on organizing, until 1)hey lose all their godly fire and power, this highly pleases the devil and he puts on his hellish revivals. He revives men in drunkennes.s, adultry, lustfulness, hatred, pride, war fare, bloodshed and revenge. His revival is sweeping the nations of earth today. He doesn’t care how much churches and de nominations organize and run thqir man made machinery and plans, just so they don’t agonize with God in prayer ’ for themselves- and their fellowmen. It cer tainly-is high time to quit so much or ganizing and go to agonizing. COtTBT A yom^ lawyer was engaged in arguing a case before the -jory and the point in question was own- ership.^,pf ji' number of hogs. “There wore 24 hogs”, he shouted, “just twice as many as there are in the jin-y box”. -And yet he wondered why he lost the case. In- federal court at Wilkesboro a woman witness from back in the hills near the Tennessee line was being cross examined.“Did you call the defendant a low-down, black the lawyer asked. “Yes, I did, and I would do it again, and I would call anybody else the same thing that did what he did, and you would, too, wouldn’t you?”, she countered be fore the court could get her stopped. A witness was asked how far his friend was knocked by an au tomobile. “Twenty-three feet and seven inches’’, was his prompt re- ,ply. “How do,, you know that was the distance?”. The witness very quickly replied, “I knew some dam fool lawyer would ask that ques- ton, so I measured it”. ® And there was the lawyer who put up at a hotel for a week and when he went to pay his bill he was charged with three meals ev-‘ ery day. He had eaten there only three times during the week, and complained to the manager that he should not have to pay for what he did not get. ‘‘The meals were here for you, whether you ate them or not’’, the manager coun tered. Two days later the hotel received a bill from the lawyer for legal, advice—$25. Th; hotel manager called the lawyer and asked why he received the bill. He had received no legal advice from him. “Well, I had it for you, whether you got it or not”, said the lawyer. Prof. angJ^M •Plendld ccioperatiqB -qf fine kave a very -|»48-44. . Mr. and Mra. A. M.

He stated in answer to a question that he had been married five years. Get ting around to the case to be tried, the lawyer asked;' “Have y ou formed or expressed an opinoin said, The venireman quickly “No, not in five years”. The big airlines plane was three miles in the air and the pilot in formed the passengers that the plane would have to crash. “Don’t let it be in water”, said one lady, ‘•I can’t .swim”. The difference between a grass widow and a sod widow is a lot of dirt. ‘ A man from out of town caught us on the corner a few days ago and asked us to go into the bank with him and identify him so he could get his check cashed. Pok ing his check up to the window, he said, ‘‘This fellow knows me”. The banker said: “Can’t say as that is any recommendation. He knows everybody’’.
