TROWBRIDGE. .Associate ^ubscriptiotTrates"""*' Per Year.^bOO Six Months .••••_.. TELL FOLK ABOUT CONXESTEE FALLS From all sections come howls about the mercenary spirit that has taken hold of Blowing Rock, all due to the fact that a big board fence has been built arour.d the rock over which a freak of nature causes air to flow in a peculiar nature and from which a beautiful view can be seen. We doubt that there is hardly a child in N< rth Carolina ten years of age but has heard something about the “place where you throw a hat over a great precipice and presto, back it comes”... .and in adjoining states fame of the place lias spread until there is a fixed idea in the minds of those who wish to travel that s' me day they will visit Blow ing Rock. Now it's necessary to pay a quar ter to get inside ihc man-made fence where the cool brieve can he felt and the beautiful scene that infolds to the west of the great ledge can best be enjoyed. Let's not waste time pitying the non privilege, but take it upon ourselves to "take the bull by the horns" as it were and tell the world about Con nestee Falls, magnificent in every respect, and FREE. WATCH OCT FOR OLD COLD BUYERS Just because a sleek, sv.ave, ‘gov ernment license” man calls on people in Transylvania ar I has nil the cre dentials that a person ordinarily would look iVr (on paper) no sign that ye pie l:e-e are to receive him like the Prodigal Foil of old was met by his father. We advise our people to deal with people who are establish ed or who have such connections with established business houses that they are hevond question., .remember, nold is not depreciating in value, end it won't rot...-holding it one more week or ne more month will not be a risk. 7 IMELY .-MH ICE FROM HAYWOOD Without comment, we pass on an editi i i ll, taken from The Waynes ville Mountaineer for its face value'. ihackrerries vs. a/.Art/ i The thrifty, hustling pep'o ofthm I'Oromunity are not hanging . the relief office pouring out tales oi woe to the tired ears of relict wo k crs. but they are out in the by ways and l'enee rows picking blackberries which is paying them m re than sal 1 fire Cannery received on Monday over 10.(100 pound- of bluckbcrrie-. for which they paid five cents a pound—$500 in one day tor a ptodu t that grows wild and is easily gathu 1,1'['he tew days of the week before i ver 25.000 pounds were bought at the same price which means that in K-s than ton days over M.‘00 na. been spent right hero among the peo ple for picking blackberries to -a,, nothing of the salary paid some for tv people for canning them. In spite of all the hundreds ot dol lars that are being spent for more blackberries, there are dozens who continue to argue that t Kle the nothing for them to do but beg at the relief office for rations to live on. We are well aware of the tact that the needy must be eared for in ex treme causes, but it seems to us tha we would be inclined to hand out to the professional, trifling loafer bucket or basket and tell them theie were blackberries to be picked and, for them to go out and do it. Those that refuse to do a little work for themselves, if we were handling the relief, would be faced with the problem of digging ioi themselves or doing without. A good friend of this newspaper “hopped ali over' the editor 'tother day because we insist that people use Jordan street between Caldwell and Broad as an artery for east-going traffic only. This friend says the paper is old-fashioned, out of tune with the times, and what have you— but we insist it’s a dangerous street. Wonder what other people think about it_we’d like to know. If our bootlegging friends would allow us to make a suggestion we'd request them not to sell that kind of liquor that makes the fellows hot foot it right up town where our vis itors have to listen to the cursing that some of the mean stuff makes some do. Suppose the recipe be changed sc as to make them crave shady spots along cool creeks. Montana Makks Ready Helena, Mont. — Montanans are dusting off the old “Welcome mat and preparing to give President Franklin D. Roosevelt a warm recep tion. MaeFADDEN'S IDEA ON DEBT COLLECTION IS WORTH LOOKING INTO Bernarr MacFadden, physical cul turist, believer in strength of the body to overcome obstacles that be set the human race, has broadened his theiries of ‘strong man-ism" through Liberty Magazine, one of his string of publications to reach the in ternational debt situation, and re gardless of the esteem in which Superman MacFadden is held by many people, his plan is worth look ing at. Following is his editorial in the current Liberty: Collect One Foreign Debts— Here's How! This country reminds the writer of a huge- fat man with a world of hid den vitality—mighty strength stowed away within his big body. But he is stupid and lazy- He lacks intelligence to use the colossal power within his huge frame, and he just plods along, following the eas iest route, adhering strictly to the path that has been pursued lor gen nations. We want to collect our foreign debts, and our attitude is, “Please, Mr. Foreigner, will you not give us some money cn the debt you owe us. You aie in honor bound to pay us this money. We loaned it to you at a time when you were severely sutur ing. There would have been chaos and min in your country if we had tailed to help you." And the leaders of these foreign nations assume a serious attitude, but underneath it al! they arc laughing at us. Anu their attitude is, 1 W h.\ pay when we do not have to. In years gone by, when England was the greatest world power, she. Knew how to collect her debts War ships would be sent to the debtos nation and mighty guns would he aimed at one of its great cities, inis procedure was always ilfeotixe. We know that the various foreign countries that owe us money can pay their indebtedness if they so t.esiie. At least they can show an inclir.a- 1 tion to acknowledge this indebted- j ness. , ■ We have the colossal force, toe j means to collect these debts, right at j hand. All we need is the intelligence and the determination to act with pre cision and courage. We have the money to build an air and naval force that could destroy ihe combined fleets of the world. A hundred cr more aii plant carriers with ten thousand or more bombing airships, and a few hundred battle ships if needed—the nit re building <«. such a warlike force would take tin fight out of every foreign nation. And we heat so much talk about foreign complications-- Keep away from foreign alignments, it is the ad vice— and like simpletons we .join i an agreement to restrict our iightiii^ forces. ... It is sillv beyond all description. v have Uk p "e-r. Why not use it el fee lively ? Why waddle around into ta.-inn*complications when we oulu -tris for action wi:h a colossal arm: - ment that would make every warlike nation return to peaceful pursuits. We could ,o far outstrip them, could have a force so much boy nd then». that thov would lose all interest in such preparations. And a smith pci centago ol' the monty we have been spending in doles could just as well be spent for a mighty armament. Why destroy the spirit ot w'oiker with charity when profitable emp ment necessary to deleiui the naiioi. ean be furnished them? Suppose we were to eipi.p •' aerial navy of one honored airplane carriers with ten thousand planes, and suppose we were to adopt -Mus solini’s plan, who sent his boats t visit us. and we should send ten ef these airplane carriers with a thousand planes on a round-the-woi id ciuise. visiting every impoitant nation. . ... And suppose we were to male, a demonstration in each oi these coun tries of the devastating power oi Uu - aerial force by tearing up a moun tain side or a section ot arid land, or bv the use of pmson gas destioy all animal life in a wild uninhabited section of the country. Do vou think we would have an trouble collecting our debts from such a country after making such a demonstration? Payments would come in aute rustically. ...... And to the peace advocates we ■ u> there is only one way ot obtaining peace, that is to enforce it-for one nation to be so powerful that it can compel all other nations to ref 1 am from war.
