Warrenton welcomes li
brary workers of the North
eastern district today. Ther
are few things in Nortl
Carolina doing more to de
velop the intellectual life o
the State than its libraries
Although this State is be
hind the national average ii
this work, progress is beinj
made due to the unselfisl
work of interested citizens
We feel particularly honor
ed to welcome such a bodj
of patriotic men and womer
among us. May their visi
prove pleasant and profita
ble.
WE ASK CO-OPERATION
OF OUR CITIZENS
Where co-operation ii
possible we are opposed tc

all peaceful means of adjusting
a difficulty have
failed.
There are several things
going on at Warrenton thai
border on a nuisance, due in
large measure, we believe,
to thoughtlessness on the
part of some of our citizens.
Oi\e to which we particularly
call attention is the delivery
of freight from the
front street. It is a common
sight to see traffic blocked
here by a huge truck unloading
produce in front of some
local store. They jut out intc
the streets so far that it is
impossible for cars to pass
and jam is the result.
There are alleys running
behind these stores and
freight could be delivered

rear. It would be greatly appreciated
by our citizens and
we think it would be good
?}? business on the part of the
truck owners. Certainly il
does not make one feel more
kindly toward a wholesale]
to have one's path unneces
sarily blocked by a huge
truck. We ask the co-opera
tion of the truck owners ir
abating this practice.
Another thing that doe;
much to hinder the smooti
flow of traffic here is double
parking by housewives
Often a jam occurs because
some woman, not finding i
vacant parking space ir
front of her favorite store
leaves her car in the middle
of the street with the engine
yurniinff while she runs in t<
1 o
shop. We know that the}
think they will be gone onl}
a minute, but often the stor<
is crowded and they fine
difficulty in being waitec
upon. As a result it some
times happens that the ca
stands in the middle of th<
: ) street for ten or fifteen min
utes while impatient motor
ists line up behind with toot
ing horns. Fifteen years ag<

J WHY WJ
Why Misery Lo

(- 8 By MEHRAN K. THOMPSON, Ph
I Human A
We are very exclusive when it v
conies to honors and preferment; d
we are very democratic when it h
comes to misfortune and calamity.

Misery loves company. There Is )j
a great consolation in seeing others e
. in the same fix. You know then p
, you are not singled out by fate. It u
does not seem quite so personal. We j|
can escape by blaming fate and not
j our lack of ability.
; People who have lived side by li
side for years on the same street fi
1 are sometimes comparative Strang- \
1 ers until a great fire or earth- 0
: quake comes along and makes them b
friends on the basis of a common e
humiliating experience. Calamity
unites men good fortune Separates tl
. them. n

A farmer from way down in

a late that afternoon. Nipped by
tie cold Monday night, he sought a
rink. After a short search he Ioated
a bootlegger and bought a
int of whiskey. Paying the corn
ender he put the bottle in his

ootlegger stole the bottle from his

ot make the arrest without a warant
and the bootleggers name was
ot known for the purpose of servlg
such instrument. Constable
.nipes could not help him in such
cause. The last seen of the farmere

"I personally know of 29 ears that {
have been shipped into eastern ?
North Carolina," says L. I. Case,
beef cattle research worker for the ;
North Carolina Experiment Station. (
"In addition there are some 10 or
12 other cars shipped about which
I have not had accurate informa- '
tion. Of the 29 moved, however, '
four contained animals to he used
for slaughter. Eight contained cattle
to be wintered in the east and returned
to the mountains next
Spring. Better than this, seventeen
of the cars contained heifers and
young cows to be used for breeding
purposes in building up a new beef
cattle industry in eastern Carolina.
In the shipments were some 12 or
15 pure bred beef bulls."
Mr. Case is of tne oprnion that
this movement of beef cattle into eastern
Carolina will have lasting '
benefit. It is well known, he says,
that legume hays and other forage
crops can be more economically
produced In the east than anywhere
else. The Winters are open and
much of the cattle may be maintained
on pasture without additional
feeding except possibly in January
and February. Then, too, the coming
of these herds on eastern Carolina
farms will stimulate Interest In
livestock growing in that section
and thus follow out the plans for
a live-at-home type of balanced
farming.
C. G. Filler, livestock marketing
agent for the State Division of
Markets, reports that some 200 ear
loads of cattle were listed early in
the season for possible shipment out
of the mountains. Many of these
went to South Carolina and Geor
gla. In this way the mountain
growers disposed of some of their
ordinary animals leaving the herds
to be developed from the best beef
stock in the future.
