Coming into Southern Pines and joining in the rapidly ex tending embellishment through out the entire village the high way now becomes a part of an C^xtending' belt of shrubbery that before long seems destined to reach from Moore county to Dur ham and probably to the State boundary, and from* the effects of this planting, ultimately up through Virginia to Washington. To be candid, no man is bold enough to predict what is ta be the state of this Jefferson Davis Highway within the next few years, for examples of this sort are contagious, as is evidenced by the easy way in which plant ing is going forward now in all of the villages of the Sandhills, and on the roads leading out in all directions. A good habit grows just as i*eadily as a bad one, and planting trees along the wayside is a good habit that is covering .this whole neighbor hood and scattering its infection in all directions. Possibly Jef ferson Davis will have ftew me morials that will appeal to so large a number of people in days to come as this floral tribute which the women are establish ing in his memory.

OUR CEMETERIES THE POULTRY PROJECT PROGRESSES While nothing is far enough advanced to give any definite statements it is believed that the poultry project mentioned not long ago in The Pilot is making progress and that before long tangible manifestations will be given and positive steps taken to set the scheme in motion. In the various sections of the county the folks are giving attention to the idea ,and as community in terest will be one of the chief requirements if the movement is to be set on foot and to succeed, that is decidedly encouraging. The Sandhills neighborhood is in the mood for making more of a business of poultry. Some years ago Dune McCrimmon and Stacy Brewer roused enough en thusiasm to load a number of cars of poultry for shipment, and from that day to this much stuff has gone out by rail as well as that which comes to the local markets. This movement has set folks to looking into the possibilities and the gains of poultry farming, on big or little scale, and the fact that more Let me commend those who manage poultry has found a market has j the Old Bethesda Cemetery for the served as a stimulus to grow .splendid work they have done in beau- (Editor’s Note—The Pilot welcomes \m great need of a spiritual awakening, coirespondence for publication in j The gospel has never been properly these columns, believing that a fair | presented to the people of our exchange of ideas leads to commun- j southern neighbor.

Mid dew-drops and the flowers The roses blooming there. Mid sunshine sind the showers There glows a beauty rare. Each morning in His Glory He walks close at my side. And tells the old old story Of Christ, the Crucified. Living, pleading, and calling He s^ks for all the lost. He comes to lift the falling— For them He’s paid the cost. With Him there is no hunger. No sorrow, loss or pain. With Him we 2tll are stronger When praying in His Name. Beside the stone-heap bending. With precious blood He prays. With tortured soul out-sending. He gives His Father praise. Upon a hill-top dying. He saved us all from sin, Ever himself denying. He gave his all for men. Each morning in the Garden Ke watches there for YOU. ’Tis in the same old arden^ He waits as He used to do. —By WILLIAM V. CARTER, JR. Aberdeen, N. C., July 21, 1930.

Meanwhile | ting. It has cheapened Old Bethesda those who are at the back of in my estimation, the scheme are making headway in their efforts to connect with a logical outlet.for the stuff, and also to work out an organization on a basis that will give some promise of becoming permanent and profitable to the country folks throughout the district. Nothing will be done premature ly, and if anything comes out of the movement it will mean that communities will be asked to get together and back an organiza tion that will be dependable in the way of providing both quan tity and quality of poultry, for those two things are imperative if anything is to be done in this county on a scale big enough to warrant the undertaking that is now in mind. Farmers are advis ed to consider the wisdom of turning to a bigger output of poultry, and of a type that will bring the best money in the market. Counsel can be had in nearly every township from some poultry leaders, for the topic is a common one at pres ent, and the more it is discussed the more the county will be ready if the plan is launched, as now seems certain; AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW For some time the Daughters of the Confederacy have l^een carrying on a work of improving the Jefferson Davis Highway, which runs through Moore county in connection with Fed eral Highwiay No. 1. Last sum mer trees and shrubs were set liberally along the line, and at the present time many of the flowering plants, little though they are, are in blossom. But they are big enough to forecast what the road is to be when these plants are two or three years older. Nothing counts so much in an argument as an illustration by actual fact of what is proposed. When the women who have this scheme in mind could go no fur ther than to present their case verbally it was not half so per suasive as it is at present when they can point to the attractive flowers along the highway. Lit tle, but cheery, and impressive. What that road will be when the trees are large, and the traveler To The Editor: Few Americans realize the import- anca and significance of the existence tf a progressive nation along our southwestern borders. This Central- American nation, Mexico, will play an important role in the future his tory of this country, and we should try to acquaint ourselves more and more with the history, institutions, natural resources, people, and customs of our southern neighbor. Mexico was originally inhabited only by Indians. The Aztec Indians that inhabited Mexico were highly de veloped and attained an advanced po sition in the development of civiliza tion. The Spaniards next overran Mexico and mixed their blood with that of the Indian races there. So far- reaching was this admixture between these races that there scarcely remain ir Mexico today any people who don’t have both Indian and Spanish blood in their veins. Mexico followed the example of the United States and gained her inde pendence from Spain in 1821. Later, the United States gained about half of our present 'western area through wars with Mexico. Since 1867, Mexico has been afflicted by many internal wars and revolutions. Political parties there have never accepted defeat at the ballot boxes, but rather they take tc their guns when they lose an elec tion. This has been the case too much in Mexico’s history, and this is the thief reason why Mexico has not de veloped very much until recently. Today, howe'ver, Mexico is beginning lo see the futility in wars and rev olutions; she is taking herself more and more toward peaceful and legal settlement of disputes. The United States should help Mex ico to develop a great nation out of herself. We are so close to Mexico that her internal wars and revolutions ijltimately affect us. So even for a self-protective purpose, we should help Mexico to ^develop along the proper lines. Then, there is paramount to all, that great and noble purpose for our helping Mexico — the humanitarian and brotherly love motive that should impel and guide all of our national and international policies. Mexico is Editor, The Pilot— In a recent issue of your paper there was a short discussion relative to the religious requirements of teachers in the public schools of our county. Much to the writer’s surprise, the article left the impression that its aythor \%^s not in sympathy with the ruling of the County Board in this respect. There may be a few citizens oi the county who would not want to apply this test to the teachers of their children, but I believe the vast ma jority, be they agnostic, infidel or sinner, would prefer their children to be trained by Christian men and ’vo- men, whether they embraced the teachings of Christianity or not. With all the faults and shortcom ings of the people known as Chris tians, they can point to modem civ ilization as their own accomplishment. Past civilizations, great and magni- ficient though they were, without ex ception were builded on the bodies of the helpless and innocent. Our civ ilization is founded upon the bedrock of the simple words of the Man of Galilee, and, though its faults and im perfections are legion, it is from th-^ lack of application of the simple re quirements of the Golden' Rule,, rath er than from error in fundamentals. There are countries today who are experiencing the result of a whole- f ale rejection of the Christian rule of conduct, and I venture to say that their disciples in America would re ject their teachings, were they obliged to live under the conditions they are advocating. There are those whose minds, ir. respect to Christianity, are so br>ad that they have become very shaPow, and these people, being unable to dis criminate between the sectarian and the Christian, wish to reject Christian ity in its entirety, and allow our schools to be filled with disciples of Marx and Freud, forgetting that the same Christianity, expressed in the simple but powerful words of the Golden Rule, is wholly responsible for our very existence. There are far too many subjects taught in our higher schools and un iversities that smack not merely of infidelity, but of a wholesale rejec tion of the belief of a pure mind and n clean body, and which advocates and encourages violation of every decent moral law—the very foundation of the same civilization. None but a lewd prd morbid mature nature can accept these theories, but they can be in stilled into the virgin mind of the child with small effort. While I am not identified with any sect or denomination of the Christian faithj I, for one, wish to commend the spirit of those Christian gentle*^ who were responsible for such ruling, and their successors can do nothing better than to assure themselves that it is being carried out to the letter. Very truly yours, R. E. WICKEK. Pinehurst, N. C., July 23rd, 1930.

Reliability Economy Good Performance THE NEW FOBD TUDOR SEDAN You are buying proved peffonuance when you buy a Ford. You know it has been built for many thousands of miles of satisfactory, economical service. Letters from users in every part of the world show tlje value of the sound design of the car, good materials and accuracy in manu facturing. You sense a feeling of sincere pride in the oft-repeated phrase—‘‘Let me tell you what my new Ford <lid.” ^ Further tribute to the sturdiness, reliability and general all-round per^ formance of the new Ford is shown in the repeated and growing pur chases by government bureaus, by police departments, and by large industrial companies which keep careful day-by-day cost records. In most cases, the new Ford has been chosen only after exhaustive tests covering speed and power, safety, comfort, ease of rontictil, oil and gas consumption, low yearly deprecia* tion, and low cost of up-keep. They have found, as you will find, that the Ford embodies every feature you want or need in a motor car at an unusually low price.
