"Hand" Printer Has Hard Road to Travel
No man has a harder , road to r
travel than the old-time "hand" j
printer. The machine age has eliin- ,
inated him from the shot), and he i
finds no place except the long road,!
along which he enters the doors ol j
print shops in the various towns j
only to hear the words, 'nothing do
ing,'' even before he has time to ask
for a job. . ■ _
The printer's road is a long, crook
ed trail: yet his profession so grips
his heart that he holies to be able to
find a place somewhere. 1
A Good Year to Pay Your Debts
The question "Why is money get- j
ting so easy and interest rates go- j
ing to a new low level," is producing j
many answers, or rather is produc-'
ing many guesses.
It is a strange thing to see how
little people know about money,
when we consider how much we I
think about it.
It is hard to understand how ;
money will all seem to go away
some times, and no one seems to
know where it goes; and then again
we find the banks flooded with
money and unable to put it out in
the regular channels.
It is reported that the" city banks,
which usually extend credit to this
particular section, are finding very
little demand for money this year,
and the money is piling up on them
so that they have to seek outside
outlets.
The money question is like the
hog and corn price. Last year hogs
were high und corn low; this year
hogs are low and corn is high. No-'
body seems to know the reason why j
it is so.
There seems to be at least one
good reason why money is accumu-1
lating in the country. Since the big-
A Soon for Crippled People
Some men go limping through life,!
when some slight adjustment or op
eration in their youth might have re
moved the trouble and removed the j
inconvenience of a life time.

I There are very few things that a
; man does that grips him tighter with
j a love for his trade, or profession,
las does the printing business. It
I seems to cultivate,a love for the work
jakin to the love and devotion of a|
jdog for his master. It maters not
how poor his food, or how little he'
gets, the faithful dog will lie by his
master through hunger and cold.
So will (he old printer live and die
by bis profession, though he has to
tramp through heat, cold, and hun
ger, and wear tattered rags.

Hood of money is not pouring into

This difference, in itself, will make
a big balance on the cash side of the
ledger.
On the other hand, the financial
circle has struck its regular "seven."
In 1920 the moneyed string pullers
tied a hangman's knot around the
neck of the little dealers and strangl
ed them almost to death. Now, the
same fellows say the folks are too
conservative and not borrowing
enough. Some people seem to think
good business this year means good
politics next year.
Regardless of what is causing the
brightening up in the agricultural
1 field, this is going to be a good year
to pay debts, and every farmer or
i business man who happens to be
under the bondage of debt should go
his limit to square with the world
and be free again.

Cotton Prices High—But Farmers Haven't Any
"Two hundred millions of gravy
(or the South" is fine political propa
ganda.
They try to make the people of
the country believe that the South
is to get $200,000,000 free and easy
and aboveboard on account of the
price of' cotton. They say the boll
weevil, the Mississippi flood, and too
much rain over the belt has lowered
the prospective production and
caused New York gamblers to bet
that cotton will be worth more.
Yet we have no cotton for sale;
which reminds us that high prices
for cotton when we have none does
us just as much good as it does a
hungry child to dream about cake—
only to wake up and find he had
only been dreaming.
Of course, a short crop will raise
the price. Yet, if we believe the
arguments always put to us, that we
get more per pound when we have
less pounds, should go far enough to
Accidents Do Not Happen
Most people think of accidents as
happening, as something unavoid
able. But, generally, back of every
accident there is a cause. For this
reason, an accident death toll of 80,-
000 persons killed each year is use
less.
Excepting those of natural origin
—earthquakes, cloudbursts, cyclones
etc. —experience of recent years point
clearly to the conclusion that most
accidents are avoidable.

according to the testimony of ex
many as will profit by it. The clinic
to be held in Washington Friday is
in easy reach of every cripple in
Martin County. They should take
advantage of it and go.
It may be that some who need
the service most will be unable to
go without the help of a friend. Any
person having a crippled neighbor
should remember those fine fellows
who took the trouble to let the lame
man down through the top of'the
house so that he could be treated.

deal from gaa pains. My system
waa saturated with poison which
waa not properly eliminated. From

I took a email doae every night un

say that we lose in pounds what we
gain in price, which give us an even
break either way.
It is rather unreasonable to see
our 1927 13,000,000-bale crop bring,
by $200,000,000, more than our 1926
17,000.000 bales brought. It is cer
tainly worth less, and it is not per
ishable but will last through many
years.
All that a little crop brings more
than a big crop is caused by specu
lation, and speculation is that hide
ous animal that beats the price down
on the producer and that boosts the
price of a small crop up on the con
sumer.
With millions of American pro
ducers and consumers who are ready
to believe anything, the stock gam
blers who stand between them and
make prices for both sides have a
fine business—if their methods will
justify the dignity of the word "fine."
{>erts in that field, has shown over
and over again that accidents are
preventable. If, then, they can be
avoided by r human agency, they are
not accidents at all.
It has been demonstrated that
fires can be reduced by fire-preven
tion movement. We know that
while some automobile drivers have
many accidents, others driving un
der similar conditions have almost
none.
Once the safety habit is establish
ed, it is not difficult to maintain.—
