Suppose that several influential citi zens of New Bern came to you with the suggestion that you tart a .bus line be tween New Bern and Kinston, guarantee ing i to give you " patronage and helping you make the business a paying proposi "tioft. And suppose that after you had actually put the line in operation you found ' out that they had forgotten all' about you' and didn't give a hoot whether you made good or not. What would be your next step? Anvboidv can answer ffivu - make an friend, to, meet you at a.certain placeat a. v' ffn'hrnr' TTnw tnanv times does it ;1 t ppen that , he is on time ?

They've! got one now and it is our sole' surviving hope for maintain Hng reduced freight rates. , But the mer chants aren'fc patronizing it as they ' should and the boats aren't getting as much freight as they 'can carry. The logical' thing for the officials of v the line to do would be to take their boats elsewhere and get better financial returns on their investment. They aren't " doing that, however. They " are improv ing their service, establishing regular and Vfrequent sailing schedules and doing their iutmost to give the shippers of this section ithe kind of freight transportation they desire. This much can be said wth safety: un less the "shippers ' give the , boat line suffi- cient tonnage tojtake the operation of the . boats a paying proposition Jti won't be long. before you'll 'see no more boats, of this; particular company coming .up the Neuse river. t V . It's up to the merchant entirely, It's . up to hime to decide whether we ? want the boat line here or not. he, withholds his support then he has only himself to blame for losing the sejrvices of the' line". Officials 'of the transportation, company have announced that this is ; , , the last chance. ' ' . LLll" ' . ' L WITH OTHER EDITORS I Output Must Increase "We must increase our output. The most Obvious way to do so is by ex porting more of our produce. This cannot be done until the tariff ques tion is definitely settled. Our trade with most foreign nations is at pre sent largely a matter of barter, be cause their money is practically valueless flat money, with nothing to back it. You cannot buck a steel engraving plant and a printing press. Americans are not willing to sell their supplies on any such security .s our utrauugs win infill iiccaeki.i iiy a. Bater, before we can satisfactorily deal with them, we must know the definite tariff rates on which their produce will be admitted. The New Tork State Republican platform ex presses the tariff situation exactly: " 'As we must sell as well as man ufacture, no tariff law should be en acted in the unsettled economic con ditions of the present that will pre vent us from re-estblshing the prof itable exchange of food-stuffs and commodities by burdening those to whom we must sell to such an extent as to make it impossible for them tp sell to us, and therefore to buy from us.' ! "The plan of Secretary Wallace to Increase our export business is ex cellent. America has the goods and the money to finance under proper security foreign business, and the oth er nations need our goods'. When a de finite and perrpanent tdriff is estab lished, and oncerted financial spport secured, . it will be possible r to very materially increase our exports. Durham Sun. ( German Work Hours Germany .has held a national eight- hour day law since 1918. It was in tended to protect toilers, from the Simon Legree employers, and was so drawn. , But now the cart is before the horse. The Wirth cabinet finds it nficessarv. for Durnosea of" national health, to ask the reichstag to pass a new eight hour law, directed against the employe, restraining him from working more than eight hours. It seems the ambitious German workman is so keea about providing for a rainy day that he Works on, one job eight hours, then hustles to an other job for four or eight hours more. That, in a nutshell, is the Ger man situation. J , . Germany's financial . system may go to smash and turn -the economists hair white. But a people who have to be. restrained by law from working too much . are-"certain to '.pull their country out of 'the ,hole fast. Work is what- makes any nation. Money is just- the reflection in the mirror, Wilmington Dispatch. ' THE tOHH GOSSP Be careful enough enough to be- sure. and impulsive Ignoranee may be a substitute, but it's a very cheap one. : . YESTERDAY MORNING. I GOT a letter. FROM A friend of mine. DOWN IN Texfes. AND IT was the first time. THAT I'D heard from him. IN ABOUT three years. AND HE wrote. THAT THEYD struck oil. ON A tract of land. THAT HE owned. NEAR THE city of Houston.' , AND THAT he'd made. A WHOLE bunch of money. - OUT OF the, proposition. ' AND HE went on to say. THAT HE'D been working hard. AND HE believed. THAT HE'D take a rest. AND WAS planning. ' ON GOING to Montreal. UP IN Canada. AND SPENDING a month or so. UP IN that section. AND HE wante.d to know. WHETHER I couldn't go. . AND MEET him up there. AND WHEN I came to that part. OF HIS letter. . . - ' i I HAD to stop and laugh. BECAUSE IT. was evident., . - - THAT, HE .didn't know. . v . THAT I'D got married. .

Impresario . is neither an oyster ; boat nor a new make of automobile. It's an opera. ; . Operas were invented so that folks would have some occasion 'at which ; to wear an opera hat.' . y ' . v Grand opera Is the Pierce Arrow of all operas. When a guy gets to warb- ling in grand opera his notes are.' worth as much money as ours are at , the bank. ' ' 'VvYv Caruso often got a thousand bucks a night ror singing K.-K.-iiatie ana. other classical . pieces. ' v . A thousand wastters a night! just think of. t. First thing we know Jim Dawson will be having his' volca trained. v ' Or J. S. Basnight will get the idea. that HE is Caruso's logical successor. On the other hand, there are folks who are (altogether different. Take m jiaus, iqr instance. - .ne naa aoso lutely ho desire to become a grand opera singer. ; In fact, ;it , might- be stated trtfthfully that he hasn't the lightest inclination to appear . in either ,11 Trovator or Robin . Hood. . It takes all sorts of folks to mak upa'world. x . -' IF BILIOUS, HEADACHY, TAKE VCASCARETS" FOR LIVER AND. BOWELS Get a 10-cent box now! - : ; .
