TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1922 BIBE THOUGHT FOR TODAY THE FEAST OF HARMONY. Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith than a house full of sacrifices with strife'. Proverbs 17 : 1. FRANCE STILL INSISTENT crease in pork production. "We again call upon all inter- - A. ests to back this movement to make this a section noted for its production of pork. Let those who have not publicly de clared themselves as aligned with the movement declare them selves in positive terms and give their active as swell as moral support. TAKE TIME BY THE LOCK FORE The French government has come out with a positive state ment of its position regarding any moratorium to Germany, stating that it will not agree to a moratorium on any terms ex cept that the German mines ot the Ruhr district of the National Forest be placed in the hands of tVio nllip as a sruarantee. and that no matter what happens France will not depart from this policy. , . It would seem that - France still retains a wholesome fear of Germany and its aggressive spirit and really still fears for its safety should Germany be come too rapidly rehabilitated. While France may feel that such ah attitude is justified in order to assure its own safety, yet it is also resulting in delay ing the economic rebuilding of Europe and delaying the return to normal conditions through out the world. France evidently has no con fidence in the League of Nations, whose covenants Avould guaran tee her integrity and protect her from any aggression on the part of Germany under any cir cumstances. However, France knows the German nature from experience and no doubt it is justified in maintaining the attitude which it has assumed, but to the bal ance of the world it will be look ed upon as a selfish position and without consideration of the greater benefit of the number For several days one of the local banks has had on exhibi tion that interesting and fearful bug, the boll weevil, but if re ports which are received from day to day are true it -will not be long before it ceases to be a curiosity but will be a reality in our midst. In fact, it now seems that it will reach here much earlier than was expected. Returning visitors from Pitt County state that it is appearing more and more rapidly and in greater numbers every day, the rainy, damp weather being ex tremely favorable toward its progress. In this section, it had not gen erally been expected that it would reach here until next year, but it now seems very likely that the weevil will make its first appearance late this fall. The program of the local Chamber of Commerce, assisted by the banks and merchants of the community, has been discuss ed time and time asrain until there is. hardly a farmer, in this section but who has . had the idea and plan presented to him in person, yet there are some who still persist in putting off until some future time his plans and preparations tP change his system of farming. It were far b et ter to 4 take time by the fore lock" and be prepared than to wait until ones crop is destroy ed and bankruptcy is faced, for that is surely what will happen if dependence is put upon cot ton under boll weevil condition for a money crop. The situation is simply this: Preparedness means future inde-i pendence, happiness and pros perity procrastination means destitution and poverty. Which will you, farmers and business men as well, for it is you latter who will have to encourage and finance the change, choose?
