The Peanut Exposition
Williamson (an get hip peanut exposition this yearl
About the only thing necessary to gel it is a small
contribution and a (air amount of moral support.
The (>eanut has done so many things for eastern
N'orth Carolina that the |x»ople look on it as a slave,
but they should look on it as a friend,,because it has
paid the debts, the taxes, the drtctorv clothed and fed
he family and fed the farm stock.
We should call the folks together often and show
them the crop that is convertM into more than 200
useful commodities.
Williamston owes the |>eanut so much that we

Should Stand Together
When Mr. Newell G. Hartlett went to tbe court
house Wednesda) tor a conference with the tobicco
farmers and business |>eople of the county, he was met
by just one man. Mr. Hartlett says he has had good
attendance tft some of the other appointments, ami
the people seemed to appreciate the effort to curtail
the tobacco acreage. However, the fact that only
one man attended in Williamston shows that each in
dividual thinks and acts for himself here. Too much
of any crop nearly always causes a price panic, and
as long as farmers act individually, they will generally
follow any high-priced crop with a big acreage the
next year. This practice keeps the farmers running
in a circle around e*ch other, only to become the prey

Every Boy Should Be a Scout
i. ; '
' Every boy ought to be a Scout. Comparing the
cost, there nothing being done for the boys worth
more than the Boy Scout work. The Scout is taught
'to "help other people at all times," and to keep himself
•physically strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight." Four principles almost unknown to many
! x>ys, because certainly there are many fathers and
mothers who fail to teach either to help others, care
1 for j>ralth, improve their minds, or morality. „
The Boy Scout movement is something that every
person should take an interest in, because it will make
| a much higher grade of our future citizens.
The principles of the Scout movement make work
ers of bovs and not shirkers. It is a complete re
,Tsal of the principles which the idling, loafing boy
gets, who makes his own rules in life and helps no
one but himself and respects none, not even himself.
The Boy Scout movement takes care of much of
both the neglect and the ignorance that prevails in
some of the homes, because it brings to the boy's at-
TFntion many things that will help him through life
that he could not gel in his home ljfe.
We would recommend that every boy be a Scout
and that every father be a supporter of Scouts.

The Saturation Point
The "saturation point" is an expression often
used by wise speakers and writers. Most folks under
stand what they are driving at, yet not many folks
tan fully define what they mean to say when they
Use this expression.
One writer asks the question, "What
the saturation point of the automobile?" this
case he possibly means to ask when .will we get enough
cars to "bust" everybody, or it may be that he means
to say that when all the people who need cars are
su|>plied we will have reached the saturation point.
Or, perchance, they mean when all th f people who
are able to own cars get them, we will be up to the
.
saturation point. ,

Plenty of Teachers .
A small school in an adjoining county advertised
for a teacher in one of thf State papers recently. The
school received 72 applications for this position the
next day; 35 by telegraph, 12 by telephone, and 25
by letter. This condition would indicate that the
teaching profession has already oversupplied the de
mand. This reminds us that only 10 years ago there
was no place to get teachers, and in this short decade
there is no place to put them. The stores, the kitch
ens, and the offices will have to absorb this surplus.

FARMERS ARE
GREAT HUNTERS
——♦
Most of Shot Gun Owners
in United States Live in
Rural Districts t
♦
The farmer more, perhaps, than the
city man, is a hunter, for a man on a
farm has more opportunities to hunt;
*s frequently all he need do is pick up
a gun and walk a few hundred yards
from the farmhouse to find game. Be
cause of that fact, it is likely that most
of the shot guns owned in the United
States are in the hand? of rural dwell
ers.
Further, taking the country as a
whole, it is on farms that most of the
game birds and game animals are to
be found. But, of course. State-owned
lauds provide for the enjoyment of
shooting by thousands of gunners.
Usually, shooting is better on public
lauds than on the average farm. How
ever, the farm ran and should be as
gfod a place for small game, especially
birds, as a State-owned tract;' Still,
the Vfficial and unofficial reports dis
clos that the mortality rate of game
of fi rnis is excessively high, owing to
lack of c'ontrol of "vermin" —as the
natural enemies of game are called.

no doubt on account of their being ad
mirably adapted to cowering or con
cealing the birds. Such coverti are
usually characterized by an abundance
of low but dense and stiff or thorny
shrubbery, together with luxuriant
growths of grasses and weeds. These
plans supply also an important part of
the food of the birds.
