EDITORIAL i The Danbury Reporter I'El'l'KU HKos.. KPITIIUH AS;I» I'l iii.isiu:l!s. Subscription : 3 mo., 25c.; 6 mo., 50c; one year, SI.OO NOV. 2!, 1915. The big mercantile agencies report that the great est prosperity ever know n before is sweeping the country. It is only in the tobacco belt where the pinch of hard times is still felt, and this is largely ow ing to an inferior crop, which in addition to its sorry quality is weighing light. THE STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION OF AMERICA. Today finds the people of this country without a ; present or past moratorium, and in command of the gold supply of the world. The nation quickened in its adversity, and progress supplanted disorder. Since January 1, we have imported three hundred, million dollars of gold, a record in the history of the nation. Despite the fearful cataclysm of Europe, yea, of the entire world, we are living beneath an unclouded sky. Since the commencement of the war the nations involved have issued bonds to the extent of seventeen billion dollars. Note issues of the banks have increased four billion dollars, with an Increase of less than five per cent gold reserve. It is remarkable that these tremendous changes and ad versities. afflicting such a preponderance of the world's population, have ensued without paralyzing the economics of this nation. !l cou!.! not have been but tor the Reserve Act establishing a psychological condition that caused the nation to move forward. PREPAREDNESS THE ISSUE. Every farmer of Stokes county should stand for preparedness "that is, a full corn crib, plenty of roughness for the stock and cattle, plenty of grain to furnish bread for the family all the year round, and big round porkers in the pen. Let the states men wrestle with the problem of national defense. Let us look to our home defenses and get ready to stay away from the supply stores. A farmer who runs to the merchant every time he needs a bag of chop or a strip of meat, waiting till fall to settle at time prices, is helping to weave a net about himself that means certain disaster sooner or later. A list of the farmer depositors in the bank will show that 09 per cent of them make it a rule to grow their, supplies at home. Tobacco is our money crop, and all farmers should raise it, because the lands of this section are naturally adapted to tobacco growing. But let tobacco always be secondary, and home sup- : plies first. This advice is from experience of our oldest and wisest men w ho will tell you that tobacco has been up and down since they were children. You can't depend on it. Season and market condi-! tions are uncertain. It is wise to be on the safe side. Prepare against surprise by the enemy. Diver sify your crops. mil I «—«g—MM ■Ml— ICS ■ ■!!■■■■ |||^^ I Young Men Who Appreciate Style and Clothes That Fit ~1 1 SHOULD SEE OUR LINE OF CLOTHES THIS FALL.

NORTH SIOE COURT hOUSt WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. THE DANBURY REPORTER Books-A Delight in Youth Anil a Solace In Age i j Books are wonder-workers for the human spirit. Do you ; need entertainment without tak ing your feet from the fender"; Read the "Arabian Nights," or a novel by Dickens, or Reade, or Scott, or Hugo, or anv one of dozens of our present novelists. . Are you fond of dramatic act ion? Read a play of Shakespeare. Do you want technical knowledge on on any theme? Look for it and you'll find it in a book. Have you lost confidence in yourself? Read Emerson's essay on "Self Re ; lianee." Do you need inspiration for great achievement? Read the biography of a great man. Do you want mental relaxation anddiverson? Read a detective story by Toe or Con an Doyle. Read history: read poetry. A half hour a day devoted con scientiously to guod reading will in a very short time give you a cultivated mind. Use odds and ends of time for reading. Many people are poor because they have never learned the value of pen nies, niekles and dimes. Many minds are empty because th« ■ d> not va! a' the small chant • o l ' time, the scraps of opporti; ty. Pocket editions are plentiful and cheap and convenient for c -".ml reading. Any man can carry genius in his pocket if not in his brain. Books are a solace in old age. There are many lonely old men and women whose friends are , dead and gone. Thev do not care for books.and so are banish ed from their royal societv. Learn to read early and keep the habit alive. Dr. E. Mullins. Great Books Inspire Farm Boys and Girl*. We hope sometime that it will become general to have libraries of well chosen books attached to every school—books of travels, history, biography, economics, carpentry, agriculture, coopera tion. health, art and general lit erature. The purpos3 of the teacher is not to complete education but to wave a hand down the vistas and say knowledge is to be found there. The primary teacher can only show the way. Too often after the boy and girl has left school they regard the learning period of life as over and the | work period beginning, and if i they have this idea they are never Q tit for any but the worst work. " It is when the mind is young and r flexible and ardent and imagina u tive that it forms habits and en | thusiasms. It is by reading,first 1 of all, that the young will get r ideas of a different life from that r their fathers and mothers have f lived, of a life quickened by : thought, by intelligent action, •>' of beauty in the home, and of a j high standard of living. The im i magination of the young in co ] operative matters will leap en j thusiastically to national concep -1 tions. The idea of a cooperative Ire , i land of a nation working in an 1 agricultural and industrial broth- j erhood will fire them, where; ' ! , their parents will hardly see be-1 , yond their own parish and are content to let their cooperation j end with their village. It is to' . youth we must appeal if we make I Ireland a country with a high l civilization. You cannot put too [ high ideals before youth. It is ! receptive for great conceptions. I ,' It is by the greatness of the de .l sires of youth today that the . greatness of our country twenty , years hence can be judged.—lleo • \Y. Russell, in Irish Homestead. S The Value 01 fresh Air. The oxygen of the air is the s ! world's great scavenger. | Drawn into the lungs it oxidizes • the refuse in the blood through 1 the lungs. - But when the lungs are en t gorged by croup, catarrh or • colds the oxygen cannot pene • trate the phlegm and there- L> fore cannot reach the membranes thn ugh which it purifies the : blood. Apply Mentholatum in the nostrils and upon the throat and chest. ' j The body heat releases the 1 aromatic volatile oils contained s in the Mentholatum. These oils 3 are pungent and penetrating. When inhaled they accelerate , the flow of the sscretions, loosen ing the hardened phlegm - and encourge its expector ation. s Then comes the life-giving, ) refreshing air—nature's restora- j 1 tive. 1: Mentholatum is also a germi-1 i cide and an antiseptic. I It also has a rapid healing ef- 1 t feet upon all inflamed surfaces, f such as chapped skin, burns and ; bruises. VIEWS OF THE EDITOR ON MATTERS OF CURRENT INTEREST. ■ Good Health ' Doubles the Value of Your Services i A half sick man Is not I worth lialf pay. A man or woman In poor health makes a poor loader, a j poor sort of a parent. ,! The value of Peruna In the home can scarcely bo stimatri.
