Isn't it nice that we never really grow up ? * When we're children we like to play with choo-choo trains and rock ing horses. The Sandhills has had two trem endous crowds turn out this winter. Some S,000 gathered around the new steeplechase course to see the “rock ing horses." Last Sunday thousands gathered along the Seaboard tracks to see a new "Choo-choo train,” We’re still children. we'd just gotten through talking about what Hileys and Belles were bringing.

Time Short For Filing' Tobacco Allotments Special Base, or One Year Con- tractis Must Be in County Agent’s Hands April 1st By E. H. Garrison, Jr., County Agent All allotments for tobacco under the Special Base, or one year con tracts, must be in this office before April 1st. This is the time set for getting these in and it is only fair to those who have made application, as they must know whether their pa pers have passed or not and if so how much acreage and poundage. Parties who have been growing to bacco since 1929 will be eligible to sign one of these contracts. The ex ception being cases where parties had tobacco during 1931, 1932, 1933 and failed to sign a regular reduction con tract. Parties in this condition will be ruled out so far as allotments are concerned. Parties making applica tion for these allotments, or special base contracts,must also establish the ! fact that they are on farms on w'hich tobacco has been grown in 1929 or since and said farm must have to bacco bai ns or something in the way of tobacco equipment on it and is not under regular contract at this time.

To the Germans this armed combi nation appears as an iron ring which holds them in its grip and might crush them. To the people of the other countries the combination is looked upon as the necessary defense against an armed and aggressive Nazi Germany. This tragic predica ment has incalculable dangers for all the nations of Europe. The effort to resolve it was based upon a formula devised by the Brit ish, the French, and the Italians.
