A PRESSING CIVIC DUTY Have you enrolled so that you may have pa part in the work of your Chamber of Commerce? All residents of Southern Pines who are reaping the bene fits resulting from the work of the Chamber of Commerce have been conscious of their attach ment to their town, of their pride in its glorious past, of their confidence in its unfolding fu ture. Southern Pines did not be come the community that we have without years of effort on the part of its citizens. It will not develop to the full its fine possibilities of the future with out our bearing in our day our share of responsibility for its welfare. An important element in the welfare of any community is the carrying on of the work falling withing the scope of the activi ties of your Chamber of Cona- merce. In order to perform this duty it is necessary that funds be available to meet the ex penses. If you have neglected or for gotten to forward your contribu tion, do so now. THE TRAGIC OBJECT LESSON The mighty swath of irrepar able destruction caused by the floods has supplied a tragic and effective “talking point” against the program for taxing enor mously the undivided profits or reserves of corporations. It has brought home with tremendous emphasis thet glaring short sightedness of the policy of se verely penalizing industrial re serves. For months to come these resen-es will be heavily drawn upon to restore ruined or paralyzed manufacturers in at least sixteen States; and in many instances the melting away of the “undivided profit” will mean emergent loans if they are obtainable. It must not be imagined that the references to these disas trous object lessons are confined to opponents of the Administra tion. One of the first journals to stress them was the New York World - Telegram, usually a staunch supporter of the New Deal policies. In the face of the great calamity, it declares that “the need which corporations have for adequate ‘rainy day’ reserves has been expressed of ten and eloquently since Con gress began work on the new plan to tax corporate surpluses that “even friends of the propos al have warned that it would be a mistake to force a too extrav agant distribution of dividends,” and that “if any proof were needed of the validity of this waraing, tt:e floods have provid ed it, an din a spectacular fash ion.” Finally ,our New York con temporary reminds Congress that “the experience of the cor porations whose properties were damaged by the floods should provide valuable testimony on the uses, needs and sufficiency of corporate cushions.” This is the caution of a friend, and not of an enemy, or even frequent critic, of the Adminis tration. It is a word in season, backed by an all-powerful argu ment. And it concerns, not only industry, but the workers who look to industry for support and to Congress for far-sighted friendship. A NEW BOOK OF LOCAL INTEREST Interesting locally, on three counts, is the publication of a new book by R. P. Harriss. First, the locale is North Carolina; secondly, the story deals with fox hunting, and thirdly, the au thor is a brother of Mrs. Her man Campbell of Pinehurst and Mrs. L. B.

KILLED IX .AUTO -ACCIDENT There is talk of a baseball leagua this summer if someone will organize and sponsor it. The Sandhills needs baseball in summer. Fire Chief O'Callaghan of Southern Pines jumped out of bed early last Sunday morning in answer to the fire alarm, grabbed the first pair of pants he saw and jumped into them—and then tried to fasten the waistband around that middle of his. It couldn't be done. He had gotten into his son's pants. Which explains his delay in reaching the fire, but doesn't explain why only thirteen firemen showed up. TO BUILD BRICK COTT.AGE S. B.

The new dwelling is to be approximately 30 by 30 feet, and to include seven rooms and two baths. home, but is at present on the staff of the Baltimore Sun. In the Washington Post Theo dore Hall gives the novel a splen did review. He says, in part: The joy of relief over no self-con scious problems, no fine weighings of people, will run for you through every page of "The Foxes” (Houghton, Mif flin, $2.50), by R. P. Harris. It is the story of the foxes who live near a decayed old plantation house in the Carolina swamp country; of the Ne groes who still stand by the "old captain,” and of all the animal life of woods and plantation yard. Not a "hunt” story, nor romantic animal tale nor a study of decaying Southern life, it holds its way true as a fresh, delicate and original picture of what interested Mr. Harris in boyhood, and still, in these almost lyrical pages, swa’3 him. He takes us (how seldom this is done) with the fox when the hunt rides out, shows us the clever au dacity of Reynard as he doubles and turns, leaps to rail fences and slips through pig lots, and even (perhaps this is a little incredible) leaps up into a moving ox-cart. The occasional note cf tragedy for the hunted crea ture is not stressed, though there would seem few vignettes of horror more piercing than the moment when the fox, spent and desperate, some times turns and runs back to meet the hounds. But all this is kept in proportion amidst a vivid, sensubus picture of country life—the birds and animsQs in the swamp, the watch dog in the yard ,the Negroes in the stable catch ing rats and swapping yams, the country folk hunting with old horses and high-jumping mules and the fox streaking up the edge of the corn field to sanctuary. Mr. Harris makes it all into an ex traordinary charming tale. during the eleven years of my fath- view brothers who lost their lives in ■ ed to their home in New- Haven, i and prizes were presented to Mrs. er's administration (having served an automobile p,ccident.

The excellent character, the high integrity, exceptional ability, the loy al disposition, untiring energy, pleas ing personality and the tw’elve years experience as Deputy in the Register of Deeds office eminently qualifies "Miss Bess" for the position of Reg ister of Deeds of Moore county. I do not write this with any ill feeling toward anybody who may seek election to this office but I do want to make it clear that instead of being a candidate to succeed my father. I have pledged my loyal sup port to Miss McCaskill and whatever support the voters of this county may see fit to give her, will, I assure you, be appreciated. In behalf of our family and for my self, I wish to thank each of my fa ther’s friends for the loyal support they gave him during the eleven years of his administration. "He counted his blessings by the frienda he had.” —JUNE HARRINGTON. Carthage, March 31. It’s the Most « ECONOMICAL CAR , fc:' Ford Ever Built From the long-wearing baked enamel fiiiUU and bonderizing rust-proof treatment of fcmlcrs.— to the fuel economy of the Dual Carburetor, the Ford V-8 is built for long service at low cost. ?!om- paratiTe records kept by a large national com pan \ • over an operating distance of more than 30.000.000 miles prove that the total operating cost of the Ford V-8 averages 41 % less than the Model T and 17% leas than the Model A.
