A few more endurance tests and
ours will be stretched to the limit.
You will notice that the Turk, who
insists that he is 156 years old, isn't
a woman.
We fear that it is too often the
case that familiarity breeds con
tempt of the law,
Another thing to remember in a
dopting political ylatforms is that
wet planks make slippery footing.
i ?
"Farmers Used As Shields For
Chinese Reds." So they treat farmers
rough in heathen "Countries, too, do
they?
"Says Radicals Can't Succeed In
Southland." At least they never have,
except during carpetbag days, when
the Southern people were helpless.
There are bright spots in every j
cloud?It has been some time now'
since we have heard "Grover Cleve-i
land's panic" mentioned.
Prices on farm products and
stocks are mighty low; but they have
not yet reached the present level of
the value of human life.
There have been 50 gang murders
in Chicago in the past 6 months, and!
there would have beeu little mourn
ing among the pe^pl?. of America |
if there had been 50 more.
Those folks of Pensacola town
ship in Yancey county, who want to
join Buncombe must naturally en
joy being in the atmospUere of
continual civic row.
The onlv wav we know to pertna
? 1
nentlv kill off communistic and so-!
? ?? ? . . I
cialistic talk in this country is to j
make the people permanently well j
fed, well housed, and well clothed.
Here when we were thinking that
there had been a general disarma
ment, we hear rumblings of an at
tempt to restore Cannon to jMtwer
over in Virginia.
Statistics say that fewer children
go to the talking pictures than at
tended the movies. Maybe the}' hear
all the talk they care to listen to at
home and school.
It is stated that bv 1940 Ameri
cans will own 53,000,000 motor cars.
That is, we presume, if that many
of us survive traffic accidents.
A naval astronomer has explained!
why planets are spherical. Now he;
can tell us why the chicken crossed
the road.
The presumption is that the reason
the monument to Virginia Dare was
unveiled only last week, is that a
stone monument to her was unneces
sary before prohibition.
It appears that the same thing that
made Milwaukee famous, in other
days, has now made Chicago infa
mous.
Laat week the papers were talking
about Indiana having a lynching.
This week North Carolina is getting
the notoriety. Seems as though folks
are folks, North, South, Kast and
West.
North Carolina will get $2,971,722
from the federal aid road fund. The
Journal devoutly wishes that the
highway cnunission would see fit to
complete Highway 106, which, by the
way, in addition to passing one of
the im|x>rtant State institutions, isj
a post road.
And now Congressman Jonas as
serts that the State has definitely
gone Republican. He takes all credit
for the 1928 results away from Hoov
er democrat is, and would have us be
lieve that it was all pure Republi
canism.
Maybe there is something in thi
eycle business, after all. Just before
the war cotton was less than 10 cents.
In a year or so everybody was wear
ing $12 silk shirts. Then a lot of
rus changed to khaki, and now we
Lare back to 10c cotton again.
t So far this year, American trade
with other nations has declined One
lion Ninety-seven Million Seven j
undred Ninety-four Thousand Five
jtndred Seventy-five Dollars. Now,1
hat has become of the men who
d that we could hoe our own row,;
,d let the foreign countries hoe
? Right here is one of the see-'
of the present depression.

Food Price News
A&P stores will keep you posted
There is no lack of good food for everyone these
days, and?if you know where to look for it?it is
cheaper than'at any time since the Great War put
? prices up.
Try any A&P store. You will find what you
want at the latest low prices. A&P has so many
. customers that it keeps nothing long at old prices.
Everythingjt offers is new at new prices.
j In other words, as fast as producers lower their
I prices to A & P, A & P lowers its prices to con
i sumers, content always with its small margin of
?j profit?2V2 cents in the dollar.
i
J So even if for any reason you do not buy at
A&P stores, use them to keep you posted on good
; food prices. There you will ge'; the latest reliable
?" news of what you should pay. %
