I Cerlnthlani 9:9. "International Temperance Sun dayOctober 20, 1939." Let us Join with people the world over in mak ing our protest against the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. If ev ery Christian would declare himself on this matter now, there would be a tremendous Impact made on this universal problem and notice would be sJrved on the liquor industry, on politicians, and on unbelieving rjtankind that Christianity intends to do something about it We are far too docile and quiet on such mat ters, when we ought to speak up for God and for our country. The lesson portions may seem a little unrelated, but study of them yields three important truths re garding the use of wine and strong drink. L Lovers ef Wine and Strong Drink Destroy Their Nation (Mlc. 2:9-11). That statement may surprise some of our self-styled patriots who like to wave the flag and speak swelling words of devotion to our country and who at the same time love their intoxicating drinks. Mi can rightly points out that his peo ple had come to the place where they chose men to be prophets be cause they encouraged the' people in the use of wine and strong drinks (v. 11). They must therefore expect the result which follows, namely, the destruction of the home and of the nation (w. 9, 10). We are all familiar with the claim that prohibition retarded the ad vancement of our nation and that Its repeal would bring a return to higher moral , standards, reduce crime, bring in prosperity, etc. The facts reveal that none of these have come true. Crime has Increased by leaps and bounds under repeal, a situation so well known as to call for no proof. Moral standards have gone rapidly downward with the free use of liquor. If you don't believe that, ask a policeman what goes on in our taverns, or Just keep your eyes half open and you can see for yourself. Just now much is being made of the many jobs which are supposed to have been created by the liquor Industry. What are the facts? The Christian Herald tells us, "A million dollars spent for furniture would employ 339 persons, spent for boots and shoes 338 persons, for home furnishings 191 persons, for booze just 99 persons." And remember that Jobs making the stuff that de stroys other jobs, are not worth hav ing. The man who drinks is helping to destroy his nation. II. Christians Do Not Drink, Be cause They Look for Christ's Return (Luke 21:29-31, 34-36). If we are hot "looking for that blessed hope and the glorious ap pearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13), we should consider whether any of the things mentioned in these verses have gained control in our lives: the cares of this life, surfeiting, or drunkenness. But why speak to Christians about that? Surely they do not use intoxicants. Sadly enough, some do. Taking advantage of the fact that the Bible speaks of temperance rather than of absti nence, they seek to Justify an In dulgence in these things, which they (and their neighbors) know is dis honoring to God and destructive of their testimony and usefulness in the community. y . Christian, Jesus is coming again! He may come today! In fact, the fig tree (w. 29, 30), which is the nation Israel, has long been shooting forth new branches and bearing green leaves. The indications are that Christ is coming soon. Are you ready to meet HimT III. Drunkards and Other Sinners Need to be Saved (I Cor. 6:9-11). Being drunk is not a joke, even though thoughtless people laugh and cartoonists and writers of Jokes use such unfortunates as their stock In trade. Drunkenness is a foul and sinful thing, classed by the apostle Paul with the lowest of human vices. Review the list as it Is given in verses 9 and 40 (and by the way, notice that covetousness is men tioned there too) and place drunk enness in its proper classification. Call it what it really is ln, and then call on the One who can save from sin and then you will be washed from your sin, sanctified, and Justified in the name of the Lord Jesus (v. 11). In Christ there 'is hope for the drunkard. A spiritual revival is the real answer to the liquor problem. Let us seek to pro mote it even as we at the same time give ourselves to an intelligent and constructive battle against this destructive force in the life of our itutlon. ...

Fearing pressure from Germany, Russia and otlier neighbors, Rumania appointed anti-Nazi George Ar gesanu (right) as strong-arm premier following assassination of Premier Armand Calinescu by pro-German Iron Guardists. Mass executions stopped a threatened overthrow of the government, but Rumania still fears her neighbors may try to regain territories she gained from them after the World war. International observers J think these dangers might be minimized, however, should Russia continue her apparent policy of increasing way ever Baltic and Balkan nations, thus cutting off Germany's long feared drive to the east. Copy Of Franklin Paper Seventy-Nine Years Old The following article from the Greenville (S. C.) News will be of interest to the readers of The l-'ranklin Press. The editor refer red to was the Kev. Leon F. Siler, who was assisted at that time by the father of Dr. Frank T. Smith of F'ranklin, Dr. C. D. Smith. The Press would like to page the "little boys of good dis position" if any are still living. -Ed. Patrolman Koy Goodson, of the Greenville police department, yes terday displayed a copy of "The F'ranklin Observer," of Franklin, N. C, which will be 79 years old tomorrow. Dated July 24, 1860, the paper is wrinkled and faded, but otherwise in good condition. It is an heir loom of the Goodson family. One of the choice items in the four-page paper is the following: 'Joshua R. Giddings, the notorious abolitionist of John Brown no toriety, has quit public life and gone to raising hemp in Ohio. We think that it would be more in ac cordance with the fitness of things if the hemp would raise him." . In speaking of the approaching opening of the school, the Observ er has this to say : "Notice is hereby given that the Female School, under Miss C. E. Wilson's supervision, will begin next Mon day, the 30th inst. All pupils should be present at the beginning of the school. Little boys, of good disposition, will be admitted if early application be made to the secretary." The paper, then edited by a Methodist minister, was largely religious in nature. It carried, in cidentally, nothing on the impend ing struggle between the North and the South. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How long before killing should a hog be taken off feed? A. The animal should not have any feed for 24 hours before kill ing, but should have '.plenty of water. This gives the hog time to get rid of the contents of the stomach and intestines. It is much easier to get a good bleed when the system is not gorged with food and the meat always cures better when the small blood ves sels arc free from food products. The animal should be as quiet as possible before killing as excite ment or over-heating prevents proper bleeding and causes the meat to sour while in cure. Q. When should seed for the' early garden crops be planted in hotbeds or cold frames? The time to seed will depend upon the time the plants are want ed in the field and the section where they are to be planted. In Eastern iJorth Carolina such hardy crops as cabbage and let tuce are sown in the fall in open beds and transplanted , in the field as early as January IS. For a very early crop, tender vegetables should be started in hotbeds or window boxes eight to ten weeks before it is safe to set in the field. (Instructions as to crops and time of seeding are given in Ex tension Circular No. 122 and copies of this may be had free upon ap plication to the Agricultural Ed itor at State college. Q. Should young apple trees be pruned each year ? A. There is a certain amount of pruning required each year after the trees are planted. This, how ever, depends upon the growth of the branches and scaffold limbs. Extension Circular No. 205 "Prun ing the Apple Tree" tells how and when to prune and a copy may be secured by writing the Agricultural Editor at State College.

Middleton, agronomist of the State college experiment station. : Wheat, oats, arid barley should al ready be planted in the mountain and upper Piedmont regions, and the best seeding dates in the Coast al Plain and lower Piedmont are from November 1 to 15 for wheat, and a little earlier for oats and barley. It is not too late to seed small grains in the mountains and upper Piedmont, hut a slight decrease in yield from the maximum possible can be expected, Dr. Middleton stated., He cited results of experi ments at the Piedmont Branch Experiment station at Statesville f i --I. over tne past nve years wmui show yields of 15.1 bushels per acre when the wheat is seeded on November 1, 13.1 bushels per acre from November 15 seedings, and 7.9 bushels per acre from December 1 seedings. Should weather delay planting in the Piedmont, the agronomist ad vises use of the Redhart or -Pur ple Straw varieties, rather than the Leap and Fulcaster varieties which normally do better under Piedmont conditions. However, in sections where winter-killing is a problem, the Fulcaster is the rec ommended variety. Dr. Middleton said that the Red hart and Purple Straw varieties will produce the highest yields in the Coastal Plain area if they are seeded before November 15. Lee is the outstanding variety of oats for the Piedmont, but an earlier variety, such as Fulgrain, is bet ter adapted to the Eastern part of the State. Tennessee Hooded barley should be used if grown for hay, or hay mixtures, but bearded barley will greatly outyield the hooded-varieties if grown for grain, Rev. Eugene Riley To Preach ,On Street Rev.
