God is the sender of the greatest gift—and that gift is Jesus. He is the .MOST NEEDED gift, for in Him we have life—eternal life. He is the MOST COSTLY gift—God could not give a cheap gift. He paid the price of His life blood in order to make the gift. He is the greatest LOVE GIFT. "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD." (John "Love so amazing, so divine. Demands my soul, my life, my all." —Wade C. Smith in S. S. Times. in Hendersonville, N. C. 3:16). COTTON GROWERS WANT TO BE "CONTROLLED" One thing was made clear on December, the 14th, when southern cotton farmers voted on the retention or rejection of Bankhead cotton control for another year, and that is that a big majority of the cot ton growers are willing to have their busi ness run for another twelve months by the United States Agricultural Department. If that suits the cotton growers there is very little to be said for the present by other classes of the country's citizenry. Ours is only to stand by and put up the cash to pay processing taxes, bonuses and the numerous other costs of "controlled production." Of course nobody in the South—wheth er they live in or outside the cotton grow ing section of the South—is opposed to fair and profitable prices for cotton. The business of the cotton country is based in a large measure on the growing and mar keting of cotton; and this business affects in a measurable degree general business conditions in adjoining areas where no cotton is produced. The cotton business played a large part in hoisting the sum total of the business of the United States for many years and cotton at one time sup plied the larger part of this country's ex ' . ports. Certainly, the people of the entire South are anxious to see the cotton grow ers sell their crops each season for satis factory profits. But in spite of this desire to promote the prosperity of our cotton growing fel low citizens, there are some of us who cannot stultify our consciences to the en tent of joining in the Bankhead bill bally hoo. We believe the cotton growers are trading their birthright and their inher tance in their goodly land for what will turn out to be a very soggy and unpalata ble mess of pottage. We believe the sys tem of Senator Bankhead and the United States Agricultural Department is rotten at the core. We believe the foundations ' of "control" are constructed, not of sub stantial foundation material, but of wood, and are already far gone from the attacks of the termites of Socialism. For example—the price of twelve to thirteen cents is not a high price for cot ton—and it is certain that all the devices and artifices of "controlled production" would not have maintained the prices at present levels, if the government had not, in addition, "pegged" the market at twelve cents. We are assured that all these de vices are emergency measures, that pro duction is to be held down until the sur plus has been wiped out, and then restric tions will be removed and former condi tions in cotton production and the cotton business will be restored. The fallacy of this line of reasoning should be patent to anyone who will give the problem a mo ment's thought. If the cotton growers have produced too much cotton in the past, they will do so again in the future unless "control" is con tinued indefinitely; and if that course i^ continued indefinitely, then the consumers of cotton products must continue indefi nitely to pay cotton growers a bonus to grow cotton; and the crops of the future will be restricted to domestic need*, be cause "control" will absolutely destroy tht export market. All the cotton belt needs to produce a go-called surplus ja one season. This mef*n; that after a few seasons of "control", if the existing surplus is disposed of, and an honest effort is made to relieve the coun ; try of the burden of "control", the country , will find itself in exactly the same position as to the cotton problem that it was in when "control" was started. The country spends hundreds of mil lions, probably billions of dollars, for emergency "control" which controls onlv for the period the emergency "control" is controlling. If, after a few years "control" restrictions cease, because the cotton ' growers of the country tire of the plan and | throw it away, or the country refuses to I shoulder the burden longer, then the cot ton growers and their problem are right back where they were in 1933 or any year prior to this time. The surplus may be wiped out at the end of the period of experimentation, but if the restrictions are then removed, just one season is all the cotton growers need to produce the greatest surplus in the his I tory of cotton production. By that time world markets for American cotton will have entirely disappeared, nothing will re main except the domestic market, and the South can produce in any favorable sea son three or four times as much cotton as this countrv can use. There is, in addition i to this pleasant and reassuring outlook, the probability that much of the domestic market will disappear under the "control '! regipie. "Control" puts the prices of col ton products so high that, if maintained for a few more years, it will cause the loss of a large part of the domestic cotton mar kets to the manufacturers of cotton sub stitutes and goods which will displace cot ton textiles. me wnoie prooiem may oe sunuueu u,» by saying that under the Bankhead plan the country will pay hundreds of millions on up to billions of dollars for cotton "con trol" that will control only temporarily. If "control" is abandoned after a few years, this immense sum of money will be wasted —thrown in the Socialistic rat hole along with other billions wasted in other experi ments—and the cotton growers and th'j j country as a whole will then still be face J to face with the so-called problem of over-; production in the cotton business—with j the net result that the whole scheme wiil j have to be abandoned or "control" will have to be continued forever and forever, or as long as the South grows cotton. The foregoing will come to pass—or th<> j South will adopt as the alternative, a cox-' ton control plan that will control, that will j work, that is in accord with sound eco nomic principles. This statement, of course, will bring jeers and taunts from the Bankheadites, the Socialistic dreamers and experiment ers, the bureaucrats and regimenters. They claim there is no plan but theirs: that they have a monopoly on intelligence and eco nomic knowledge and business acumen. There is no answer to any problem except the answer these fellows formulate in their gigantic brains. The fact is, there are voices crying in the wilderness here in this land of the South that could and would lead the cot ton growers and the country out of the wilderness if they were heeded. These voices are to be found among the cotton i economists of the South, among the grow-; ers themselves, among the textile manu- j facturers and business men of the South;; but these voices are drowned at the pres ent time by the clamor and ballyhoo of the multitude; and as this newspaper vi sions the future of the South (and of th-j : country, for that matter) something like j four hundred years of servitude in the So- j cialist Egypt will be necessary to teacn the American people their lesson. t. ; i i..' i i i i ± 1X\- yiugicliU VII " 1UUUM1 lclJ 1C<4U ers say they'll co-operate with President Roosevelt reads almost like the note Aus tria sent Serbia at the beginning of the World war. \ NEWSPAPERS' OPINION } 0 CRIMINALS' PARADISE [ Governor Ehrinphaus has poured North Caro ' lina's law enforcement troubles into the Washing ton crime conference pot. and nee ins to have made an excellent impression.

THE BIGGEST THING IN THE COUNTRY BETTY'S WAY By WICKES WAMBOLDT Here is a true story tnat may mean something to you and it may not. It may give you light on an ageold problem, and it may WAMBOLDT ,% l Il'JW. UWL It HU|/ pencd. It deals with the case of an unusual girl who dealt con structively with a destru c t i v e situation. L e t's cail her Betty and her husband Jerry. Of course when Jerry was court ing Betty it was the s a m e old • 1ai»a rivirl ill story ox miujHig ability to live apart and the wCd ding was the same old kind of wedding with plenty of shining eyes and happy comments and foolish, trite observations and congratulations, with Jerry tell ing everybody how lucky he was and Betty telling everybody how joyful she was. You know how it. is/ Virtually all courtships and all weddings go that way. Just why the love story ends with mar riage, i have never been able * understand. Marriage is just the beginning of things that will ac tually determine just what tfie couple is made of. Jerry and Betty'.-* honeymoon was the usual type. They set u| housekeeping in the usual way and they went along for several years in the usual manner. Every thing was altogether satisfactory. Both Jerry and Betty looked for ward to a lifetime together of contentment and entertainment. Then Jerry 2ot hooked. The "other woman" appeared in the picture, and Jerry fell for her. He fell hard. He swallowed bait, hook, line and sinker, if you wil allow the mixing of metaphors. At first as per usual, he tried to keep Betty from finding out about his infatuation. Like other mesmerized idiots, he imagined Bettv would never notice that he had ceased to be '"nterested in her. Matters progressed until Jerry was impelled by an increas ing state of hypnotism to tell Betty of "this new, trreat love that has come into my life." He spouted eloquently of "a holy passion" and prated intensely about the absolutely necessity of joining his Jtfe to that of tb's other woman. Incidentally he overlooked the fact that he had felt exactly the same way about Bettv. Jerry wanted a divorce so he could marry this person who before the world was. heavon hail ordainod should be his per fect mate. nut Betty was nooocty's tool. Perhaps she just naturally had common sense. Perhaps she had been studying assiduously: "What Every Wife Should Know." Any how. although she was pretty well out up about it all, 15etty kept her head. "This is all bunk. -Terry/' she said. "There is nothing to thi5. It won't last. I didn't last with you and me, though founded* on decency. It won't last as long: with you and her, because it is founded on indecency. Real love doesn't work that. way. You've pot to pet this thing out of your system, Jerry. If you can't do it one way, you must do it another. I'm not poing to get a divorce from you. and you can't get one from mo. I've never loved %nv man but you and I never will. I never even kissed any man but you, .lorry. I'm nor, going to turn you loose for the wolves to devour." pleaded and he raved, but Motty stuck to her position, .lorry said he whs going to quit homo. "Ail right." replied Hetty, "and when you come t>> your senses llnhy and I will he right here waitinc von." .lorrv was l>0od hs hio word. He did *piit home. ||o qtoyed away nearly iwo venvp, Where ho was and wnat lie qui uuuiiK i»cnwu does not need to be toid here. Hut one day, Jerry opened the front door of his home and walk ed in. He went straight up to Betty, who happened to be stand ing at the far end of the living hoom. He held out his arms to her and said huskily: "I've come to mv senses, Betty, and here I am." Betty still ha? the first hus band >he married. She and ht children, there are two of them I now. have their father. The entire situation is harmon ious, and everybody seems to know his onions. That was Betty's way of mak ing a bad situation work out bet ter than it might have worked out. The constructive thing is always the sensible thing to do. "Am I my brother's keepar?" Betty was her husband's keeper. "She challenges the best that is in me," says Jerry of Betty. . MESSAGES TO SANTA CLAUS | Hendersonville, X. C. December 14, 1934.
