ODE TO THE BIG MEN j
Many years ago there appeared
regularly in certain daily papers
a jingle by Walt Mason, who work
ed into his cadences much philos
ophy. Only a few weeks ago, Mr.
J. C. Wike dropped into our office
and handed us a couple of them,
one of which is reprinted below.
It was entitled “The Big Men” and
is as timely today as it was when it
was written.
The big men dare and big men
do; they dream great dreams,
which they make come true. They
bridge the rivers and they link the
plains, and gird the land with their
railway trains; they make the des
ert break forth in bloom, they
send the cataract through a flume
to turn the wheels of a thousand
mills and bring the coin to a na
tion’s tills; the big men work and
the big men plan, and, helping
themselves, help their fellow man.
And the cheap men yelp at their
carriage wheels, as the small dogs
bark at the big dog’s heels. The
big men sow while the cheap men
sleep, and when they go to their
fields to reap, the cheap men cry,
“We must have share of all the
grain they harvest there! These
men are pirates who sow and reap
and plan and build while we are
asleep! We’ll legislate till they
lose their hair! Well pass new
laws that will strip them bare!
We’ll tax them right and we’ll tax
them left, till of their plunder they
are bereft; we’ll show these men
that we all despise their skill;
their courage and enterprise!” So
the small men yap a* the big men’s
heels; the fake reformers with up
lift spiels, the four-eyed dreamers
with theories fine, which brings
them maybe three cents a line, the
tinhorn grafters who always yearn
to collar coin that they do not
earn. And the big men sigh as
they go their way; they’ll balk at
the whole blamed thing some day!
NOT A DIME
Secretary of the Treasury Hen
ry Morgenthau, Jr., whose super
salesmanship put the $15,000,
000,000 Third War Loan drive
Over the top, didn’t even con
tribute a dime to it.
But no harsh judgment is in
order.
He couldn’t have for love nor
money.
Neither could W. A. Julian,
Treasurer of the United States.
A 1789 law expressly forbids
the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Treasurer of the United
States from buying or owning !
any government bonds or securi
ties while in office.
Julian’s signature appears on
United States currency.
CASHING IN BONDS
| Speaking of war bond buyers, this
column was surprised to learn the
| other day that more bonds are
jcashed in at the Brevard post of
fice than are sold! We do not have
any official figures, but we under
stand this is a fact!
It seems that a good many peo
ple who buy bonds from some oth
er source do not want to return
to that same source and get the
cash and since it is convenient,
they come to the post office here.
This very action alone shows
that the persons themselves feel
that cashing in bonds is not pa
triotic, and it really isn’t in one
sense of the word. Of course the
government realizes that emer
gencies do arise and of course
these bond buyers are at least
lending their money to Unde Sam
for a short time, maybe as long as
they can spare it.
I
But if a person can possibly man
age it, he or she will be better off
and will aid further in the war ef
fort by not cashing in on the bonds
until they mature.
AN EXCELLENT COOK
This column nominates Mr. Sam
Allison, widely known and vete
ran meat market operator here,
as being the best cook in this sec
tion of the state, especially when
it comes to cooking squirrel, coon
or other wild meat.
Mrs. C. C. Hall Died

Timely Hints For v
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
In spite of the publicity given
to War Bonds, there is still con
siderable misunderstanding about
them. Here are some of the ques
tions most frequently asked home
agents and suggested answers to
them:
1. What kind of government
bonds should a farm family buy?
War Bonds are the safest in
vestment ever offered farm peo
ple. Just like a $10 bill, a War
Bond is the promise to pay by the
strongest government in the world,
but unlike the $10 bill, the
War Bond pays interest and if lost
or destroyed will be replaced.
2. “I bought a $100 Liberty
Bond back in 1918 and when I
came to sell it, I got only $83.50
for it. What will happen to these
‘E’ Bonds?”
War bonds are not subject to
market price fluctuations. A Ser
ies E Bond may be redeemed at
any time after 60 days from issue
and the owner will always get at
least as much as he paid for it.
Interest accrues to the bond by
increases in the redemption value
j after the first year and at the end
of each half-year period thereaf
! ter until the bond is redeemed or
matured. In other words the bond
“puts on weight” and if kept until
maturity will return $4 for every
$3 invested.
The owner of a bond can re
deem it with the United States
Treasury but he cannot sell it to
anyone else.
3. “Should I buy War Bonds or
pay debts?”
Get debts into shape and then
build up a financial reserve in
War Bonds. Getting debts into

shape, however, should not neces
sarily mean getting entirely out of
debt. If all of any increased in
come available is paid on a mort
gage, it will probably be necessary
after the war to borrow again to
replace and repair equipment and
buildings at a time when it may
not be so easy to increase a mort
gage as it was to reduce it.
When the war ends, a reason
able sized mortgage and a good re
serve in War Bonds is likely to be

PAPER BAG SHORTAGE
Local grocers have reported an
acute shortage in kraft paper bags
of all sizes. Shoppers are asked
therefore, not to ask that such
items as bread and cereals be put
in bags. It would tend to relieve
the shortage, it was pointed out,
if people would preserve and re
turn paper bags to the stores.
There is no indication at present
when the supply of bags will be
larger, it was said.
