Proponents of the Boulder I>am project, on the Pacific Coast, are-try ing to put over aliout a $200,000,000 irrigation plan. Then comes the Mis sissippi -flood district; it will take anywhere from $200,000,000 ttr 000,000 to put that in order. The Great Lakes Canal project is constantly being agitated; and now we have a new one -governmental drainage and reclamation of the swamp lands of Beaufort, Hyde, Dare and Washington Counties. One of the great troubles with us now is too much development. We are rushing too fast already. It was never intended that any «ie gen eration of people should clear all the land and develop all of 'the. water, and finish the whole job. It is bet ter for us to do what is necessary and leave a few roots in the ground The Thirteen-Months Calendar Instead of economy and abolish ing a month each year; it looks like we an- to have another month add ed, making 13 months to the year. This will doubtless be a very popu lar thing to do, because it will make pay-day come oftener, and it will give us something flew quicker, and that is just the thing we want. Taking the matter liriousTy, we h*w 12 months o( three different lengths, from 28 to 31 days. If four weeks make a month, why should we cumber the calendar with seven months with three surplus days*, Two Per Cent Offj 1927 Taxes ■i A \ * r '■ , . \ .. * .„ . - ■ J THE 1927 TOWN TAXES , ARE NOW DUE AND THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO PAY THEM. - - From now until the first of November a 2 per cent discount wilj be al lowed on all taxes paid before that date.

We want to 'kill .the gtnise and devour it, too. We want Congress to make the Mississippi safe, but let a few of the ! other opportunities remain for our children. give four months two surplus days, and actually have but one month \ t with the proper number of days? We may regret to see the old cus tom pass, but with a large number of the leading nations of the world and many of the foremost men of our own country asking for such a change in the calendar to simplify things,-we may not be surprised to see a 13-months calendar in a few years. This would necessitate the rehandling of one day, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 50 Seconds, which we now take care of in leap years; but that is up to the mathematicians to | figure out and place somewhere. They could give that extra time to the Fourth of July and Christmas, or make a new holiday, or stick it on one of the months Rivalry Between Towns Town and city rivalry seems to be a thing that can grow as intense as any type of rivalry can grow. Of course, all little towns are jeal ous; in fact, often too jealous to be just. And .this does not apply wholly to small towns. We find it even as marked in our larger towns. It really looks like everything is jeal ous until it ftets big enough not to be. " k Greensboro comes in wtih a cork er this week, with a lower tax rate Governor Pinchot Speaks Out The recent appointment by Presi ! dent Coolidge of Mr. Dwight Mor row, of the House of Morgan, as ambassador to Mexico reveals the re lationship between Mexican oil fields and Sinclair, Mellon, Standard, aiici a few other big fellows. The major part of all our troubles with Mexico since 1850 have come from faults of : our own rather than from faults of 1 the Mexicans. Our diplomacy with Mexico has had the dollar mark on it at all times, and now it seems to be larger than ever. * Governor Pinchot, of Fennsyl vania, although an ardent Republi can, has sized up the situation in an article in The Forum. He says— lu reality, oil is—and long lias /1 • been "the 'bone of contention be tween Mexico and thist country. And naturally so, for the stake of American companies in Mexico is immense. In 1924, our govern ment estimated American-.invest ment* in Mexican oil lands and refineries at $478,000,000. the | After the church and the school, the free public library is the most effective influence for good in Amer ica. The moral, mental, and ma terial benefits to be derived from a carefully selected collection of good books, free for the use of all the people, can not be overestimated. No community can afford to lie without a library.— Theodore Roosevelt. 1 choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people because they give noth ing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves. They never |>auperize. They reach the as piring, and open to these the chief treasures of the world—those stored up in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes. ~ . I pre fer the free public library to niosttf npt any other agencies for the hap piness and improvement of a com munity.—Andrew Carm gie.
