A few families have wrought'diligently and econo mized in their living. They are all right financially. Others have Worked hard, produced but squandered their earnings to the four winds. They are in finan cial distress, and it may be that they are hungry. The only hope for the return of prosjierity must come from hard work and rigid economy. Ir is im possible for us to live, pay our back debts and buy all we want. The only way we will ever be able to' , make the grade up the financial hill to the plane of prosperity is the leaving off of the hundreds of things that drain all the mone\ from people and bring ho return. We now claim to be broke, but that, of course, is a mistake But if we maintain the pace we have been going for the past ten years, it will not IK- but a mat ter of a few more years before we are broke.

Living at Home •«' j \ The "Live-at-Home" program in the schools of the State this week, brings to our minds two very prominent but divergent fac's. First, we see a great nation built by sturdy hands, wise heads and honest hearts, a people that adhered closely to the principle of living at home. We are proud of the nation our forefathers built. They fed themselves from the products of their own fields. They clothed themselves with the yarns made from the dotton, ftyx and flocks raised in their own fields. They were satisfied; they were prosperous and happy for they lived at home. The other side of the picture is very different. We have reversed things. We live away from home, buy ing' nearly every article for both the table and the wardrobe from a foreign state or country. We are not prosperous and we are not satisfied. We are in debt, and we are not satisfied. Governor Gardner sounded the right note when he said live at home. We understand that living away from ho ne is our trouble now, and if we want to get back on the road leading to prosperity we must raise what we need to eat in so far as possible. Better Understanding • When banks reojien as has l>een the case in many instances in North Carolina during the patSt two months, we can easily see that folks are understand ing each other belter and trusting one another more. It is really a good indication that the wildcat, helter skelter days of speculation, gambling and stealing are passing to some extent. It is at least cheering to see banks reopen in hard times that closed on account of good times, in some instances. New Power Commission There are many federal commissions little and big, set up all around Washington, about which the pub lic rarely hears, and about which they care little or nothing. Thre is a feeling that a lot of them were created to take care of lame ducks. But the new Federal I'ower Commission is different. A rapid awakening of public consciousness is going on in the matter of our natural water power. The pu blic has realized that while they have been asleep the 1 lower people have been lulling them with soft strains of propaganda while they were busily sewing up everything in sight In the meantime the power com inis Vn created by the federal water power act of 1920 v,; l composed of three cabinet officers, ex offi cio. who had no time to give to the subject, and of uliordinates who ran things as they pleased. It was cliui .cd and generally believed that leading subordi nates were friends and proteges of the power people, who have notoriously sought in devious ways to for ward their own selfish interests. It was necessary to clear up this situation and restore public confidence. The new bi-partisan commission of five has both the power and the time to use it. The potential power in our rivers rightly belongs to the people, and this com mis: ion is de|>ended on to safeguard the people's property rights. They would be quickly stolen else.— l'dl/i finder. ot J, I.

GUlam Hatchery WINDSOR, N. C. | THE KNTERPRIBE MAY RING AGAIN LIBERTY BELL ON 22 OF THIS MONTH Bell Has Been Silent For Almost One Hundred Years The famous old Liberty Bell, which so joyously range to announce the ! Declaration of Independence and which tolled so sadly when George Washington died at Mount Vernon, may again ring forth from Indepen dence Hall, in Philadelphia, on Wash ington's next birthday, February 22, 1931. j Efforts are being made by officials ;of the George Washington Bicenten nial Commission to arrange for a na !tion-wide radio hook-up on this date 'and have President Hoover press an electric button in Washington which will start the nation's most historic bell ringing again after a silence of almost one hundred years. It is proposed to | have the bell strike thirteen times, once for each of the thirteen original ' states. *■ | According to noted Philadelphia his torians, the last ringing of the bell was lon July 8, 1835, in honor of the funeral services of John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United who died in Philadelphia on July 6, 1835. While thel bell was being solemnly tolled it Vjidddnly cracked, j An attempt was made it in ' 1846 for the celebration of Washing-' ! ton's birthday ceremonies, but this at-' I tempt failed. It is believed, however, j that while the cracked bell will not ' i give forth its once famous clarion 1 notes, it will nevertheless ring suf-1 i ficiently loud to be heard by all raj dio listeners, if it is tapped thirteetn times on the anniversary of Washing- 1 toil's birth next mouth. Before it cracked, the Liberty Bell had lived a life of eighty-two useful years and had become one of tlie most , famous bells in the world. All through the Revolutionary War the Liberty f Bell was used for the purpose of call-1 j »"g together the inhabitants of the • I city to learn news from the battle- i i fields. At one time during the war, | however, it became necessary to re-'; move the bell hastily from its fasten- 1 lings and take it out of the city This exciting event look place on September J: i 18, 1777, when the news came that the | i British Army was about to occupy Philadelphia. The bell was carefully ' I loaded on a wagon and conveyed i along with the heavy baggage of the I American Army in a supply train of) seven hundred wagons, guarded by i two hundred North Carolina and Vir-'c ginia Cavalry, to Allentown, Penn- i sylvania, where it was hidden in Zion's'f Church until June 27, 1778. when it'' was taken back to Philadelphia and' again placed in Independence Hall. I Never from that time until 1835 t I did anything of important happen that was not announced by the ringing of | this historic bell. It was joyously I rung when the news came of the sur- j' render of Cornwallis to General Wash- i ington, which ended the Revolution. 1 The old bell is reverently preserved. I It stands on the ground floor of In- j. dependence Hall, where it is viewed ' daily by thousands of visitors from all | sections of this country. , Ihe Liberty Bell has been a great traveller in its day. In fact, it has' seen more of the United States than a | vast majority of the people. In addi ! tion to its war-time trip to Allentown, lit has made the following peacetime journeys: July 23, 1885: To New Orleans for the Worlds Industrial and cotton ex position. July 25, 1893. To the World's Colum bia Exposition at Chicago. EL_ Oct 24, 1895: To the Cotton States and Atlantic Exposition, Atlanta Georgia.

I * July 4, 1915: To the Panama-Pacific r Exposition at San Francisco, Califor nia. ' George Washington very often heard the ringing of Bell, 1 due to the fact that he spent more time e in Philadelphia than any other place, 1 except his home State of Virginia. He * first went there as a member of the i» Continental Congress. His next official " visit was as the presiding officer of - the Convention which framed our '. Constitution. His longest stay in the City of Brotherly Love was as Presi s dent of the United States from 1790 - to 1797. ■ | The history of the Liberty Bell, be c fore the American Revolution, is an 1 interesting one. In the year 1751 the 1 Assembly of the Providence of Penn -1 sylvania decided that the State House 1 at Philadelphia (Independence Hall) 1 needed a new bell. A resolution was > passed, instructing the superintendents ' of the building to secure one. The su perintendents, Isaac Norris, Thomas ■ Leech and Edward Warner, wrote the i follownig quaint letter to Robert (, Charles, the Colonial Agent at Lon , don: "Respected Friend, Robert Charles: •' "7 he Assembly having ordered us to ' procure a bell from England to be purchased for their use, we take the ' liberty to apply durselves to thee to get us a good bell, of about two thou sand pounds weight, the cost of which we assume may amount to one hun dred pounds, sterling, or perhaps with the charges something more. "We hope and rely on thy care and assistance in this affair, and that thou I wilt procure and forward it by the first good opportunity, as our.workmen in form us it will be much less trouble to hang the bell before the scaffolds are struck from the building where we intend to place it, which will not be done till the end of next summer or | ! beginning of the Fall. "Let the bell be cast by the best workmen, and examined carefully be fore it is shipped, with the following JkorAs w«ll shapen in large letters I around it, viz: "By order of the Assembly of the , . Province of Pennsylvania for the ! I Stati; House in tlie City of Philadel phia, 1752. "And underneath: 'Proclaim I-iberty | throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof—Leviticus XXV, 10'. "As we have experienced thy readi ness to serve this Providence on all oc casions, we desire it may be our ex cuse for this additional trouble, fr ni thy assured friends, Isaac Norris, i hotnas Leech and Edward Warner. "Let the package for- transporation be examined with particular care and the full value it-sured thereon." The careful directions by the su perintendents were duly carried out by the Colonial Agent at London. I he bell was cast by Thomas Lister, of W hitechapel, London, and reached Philadelphia in August 1752. It, however, was not a success.

The name of this firm was Pass & Stow, "two ingenious workmen" of Philadelphia. These two young men broke up the English-made bell, melt ed the material, added an ounce and •' half of American copper to each pound of the old metal to make it less brittle and re-east it with all the original I inscriptions on it, with the exception of the substitution of their own names for that of the London manufacturer and the date and place of manufacture.
