Returning to Sanity We have just finished the sanest half year since the iVorkl War. Folks have been using more reason in heir business and more consideration for others in heir business, civic, and social relations. Several ears of living like the last six months will begin tn set us on our feet agian. ft ir lots of our folks have al eady realized that they am not throw hintr tnev nave and still get rich. Don't Go Too Far ifi Tax Reforms All these tax reduction meetings are line things, tnd we are all of the opinion that taxes should he re luced, yet we are liable to go too far in our demands or reform. The most ticklish business in this country s the publit school. We need to lie careful, because oo much "cussing" at the bottom is liable to cause hose at the top to cut off the schools, and the masses i • * an not afford it. There are only two open roads tor out children >ne- is education, where we can fight as equals, and he other is ignorance, where we have to work as .laves, lax reformers should work two punts a lit le off o£taxes. and a little on in efficiency. We must not forget the fact that educated nations an pa\ taxes and savage nations can not ; and the .ante rule applies to the individual largely. Out of Balance The large number of suicides in recent years is evi ience that most of our personal lives are out of hal ince. For self-destruction is a direct contradiction if the law of nature. There is nothing that man will ight harder for than we will for his life, and yet thous mds every year are taking their own lives. - lining ik) fast and too far probably are the main causes of uicide. The individual imagines himself out in an mknown and helpless state. When an ex-soldier commits suicide, we say it was a used by shell-shock. When the bank . clerk kills himself it is generally because he can not face the world, and still there are many who apparently have no visible cause. It' may Ik that if we were all taught that the keep ing of our own bodies is the greatest responsibility of man, we would look at life differently.- .We need to live more on the bright side of life; then we would IK- too happy to waiit to shorten our lives. To The Democratic Voters Of Martin County Again permit me to call your attention to the second primary to be held at each voting pre cinct Saturday, July sth. As you know, it is impossible for me to see every citizen o.f Martin County and solicit sup port, so I am resorting to this method in asking that you visit the polls Saturday and cast your vote in my behalf. " • - ' ' •© I regret very much to have to trouble you again, but promise that if you vote for and nomi nate me that I will give every service that the duties of the office of treasurer demand, and above all things I assure you it will be appreciated. Sincerely, C. A. 'Gus' Harrison *- '' PIHLItNU IVMT TUP PAY AMP PWIPAT ______ Campaign Spending Too much money is spent by high office seekers. ■j Only a month ago a woman spent $250,000 for the' nomination for a seat in the United States Senate on the Republican ticket. It has I>een generally advanced that she spent th« large sum just to satisfy her pride and gain the honor If she spends as much for her election as she did fot the nomination, it will make a round sum of half a million dollars for the office which will pay her $60,- 000 during a six-year term. There is then a financial loss of $440,000 and six years of trouble added. It is quite apparent that her vanity, if that is tly ! motive for her spending, is highly priced. On the other hand, Senator Grundy s'pent $291,000 of his own hard cash for the nomination and then missed it. He also spent some of his friends money, making a total expenditure of over a third of a million dollars. It is believed that Senator Grundy has neither pride nor vanity, but that he is hungry for governmental favors for his friends as well as for himself. He well knows that one favorable tariff schedule will repay | hint an hundred fold. The liquor folks put out about $200,000 in cold cash to elect"a liquor man, but he came out far behind j Grundy who, in turn, was badly beaten by James J. Davis The outcome of this race and the nomination of Gifford Tinchot for governor have done much to lift Pennsylvania Republican politics from a state of I total depravity. Is a fellow who will pay $250,000 in an effort to get a seat in the Vin ted States Senate, honest enough or | i humble enough to be trusted? Source of Crime — * — -ir ■ —T" - : " . . A preacher in Greensboro has charged lawyers as \ bt'ing largely responsible for the murder of Federal ! Agent Flinchum. He ;iiTso stales'Oiat church' members' who buy liquor )fre liberal contributors to such trage -- flieHr - — ~ It is diflicut to definitely point out the blame, how- I ever. Of course the low inclination to keep and en "l force the law makes it easy for the lawless one to carry his point. The real trouble rests in the sympathetic talk by the street loafers, in the threats of bootleggers and in the smart cracks heard at night (wrties where such dastardly crimes as murder are, more or less, prompted. Another great factor in law-breaking is the news items in many papers pointing out the errors committed in the attempt to enforce law and crowding out the good accomplished The law-breaker's deeds are often ignored. Such action is advanced by the ; same spirit characteristic of the law-breaker. The minute a man goes out and deliberately breaks the law, be and his friends begin to talk about his j sacred rights. If we had more people with a greater appreciation of the difference between good and evil, ; the lawless would get less encouragement and fewer people would be spurred on to commit crime. Little Praise for Agents' Sacrifices In meeting death in the |)erformance of his duty, P. L. Flinchum receives little praise even though he gave his life to uphold a law passed in an effort to make I our nation a safe one. Imagine the harsh criticism | that would undoubtedly have followed had Flinchum fired a fatal shot into the rum car, Surely, little dis cretion has been used in certain instances in an effort to enforce the prohibition laws; but,, after all, we are all subject to makt' mistakes. The errors committed take front stage while the great purpose and sole aim of prohibition are ctowded into the background. The advancement of prohibition de|>ends upon more than the work of federal enforcement agents. They even endanger their lives to fulfill their .duty, while we turn our backs, too often, upon the cause; and we even rush to defend the rum runner when he is tired u|*>n at that point where it means life or death, „ j.

C*U yt uu fbvHt Jmr dmmturmtttm WILLLIAMSTON MOTOR COMPANY THB ENTERPRISE FARM HINTS Land intended for totwcco on ac count of plants or planted . to some other crop may yet be plant ed to a profitable crop. Among the crops that might be used are corn, noy beans, or sudan grass for hay, or sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes would be a good crop to plant if a curing house will be built to take care of the crop. Most farmers stand back on building a sweet potato curing and storing house on account of the ex pense. These same farmers will not hesitate to build a tobacco bam if it is needed. A sweet potato curing house will not cost so awfull much more than a good tobacco barn. ♦ ' DONT TOP TOO LOW Much tobacco was ruined last year and the year before by being topped too low, on account, of new growth taking place after the tobacco was topped. If tobacco tends to button out lower than experience has shown best for a given field, it seems the better plan is not to be in too big a I hurry about topping it. If it is later found that the crop is topped too high lit can then be topped lower better | ; than putting more leaves to take up the excess plant food. I Snap beans and butter beans are j being ruined in many gardens now ; by the Mexican bean beetle. It is wasteful to grow a crop and allow 'insects to destroy it. They can be j controlled by spraying or dusting the beans with magnesium arsenate.. There are many commercial prepara-( 'tions on the market for controlling | this insect, but the United States De- [ I partment of Agriculture has tried ; fthem all and says emphatically that 1 magnesium arsenate is the best ma- 1 terial to use. It is not expensive, as line ounce is all that is necessary to j dissolve in three gallons of water for spraying. Tf used as a dust, with a dust gun, one pound is mixed with ; four pounds of hydrate lime. Mer-,j chants in every town in the county should carry this material in stock for their customers. I shall be glad to advise either dealers or farmers where it can be secured. Three or four ap plications of this material will usu ally be necessary for each crop. POULTRY NEEDS FULL RATION If they are to be profit makers in stead of boarders, growing, pullets should have all the feed they will eat until they come into egg production. The custom with many farmers is to feed the chicks well while they are small, and after they get over the so called "danger stage," feed only & little corn or hominy. Chickens so fed are slow in developing and late in ma turity. They do not lay the high priced eggs in October, November, and December. More profit will be real ized by keeping growing mash by the pullets until they are ready to lay, along with a liberal feeding of grain night and morning and plenty of green feed and water, .No more chic kens should be kept than can be fed a full ration. POULTRY LICE CONTROL Lice and mites usually sap the life from old chicks as well as from grow ing chicks during hot weather if con trol measures are not used. Sodium fluoride is the best material to use to control lice. It may be used either as a dip or dust. In using as a dip, one ounce is dissolved in a gollon of water. It comes in one pound pack ages. For mites, or "jiggers," the roost should be cleaned out and thor oughly sprayed with a mixture of old cylinder oil and kerosene, mixed equal parts. Carbolineum, a commercial preparation, is guaranteed to keep mites down for a year when used ac cording to instructions. SECOND CROPS Prepare now for the second crop of potatoes and rutabagas. These crops ; should be planted on rich, moist, well •1 prepared land the latter part of July. • On page 2 of the June 21 issue of The Progressive Farmer, instructions are given for preparing spring-grown I potatoes for use in planting the fall ? * WIUJAMtTOM crop. This is a new method, but the farmers would do well to give it a " trial. I expect to arrange wit|soc*l • dealers to carry the material men - tioned in this article for use on the - potatoes to sprout them and will be ' glad to advise any farmers where to get It. -fe ' NOTICE OP SALE OF REAL PROPERTY 1 Under and by virtue of the power I of sale contained in a certain deed of . trust executed to the undersigned trus tee by L.
