Must Return to the Land Why should we try to fool the waiting throng any longer by telling then) their jobs will soon be restor ed, when we know their i"bs are gone forever? \\ l>> not tell them frankly that if they get.jobs now, they will have to make their own. We have already reach ed that turn in the road where we see that most of our business ex|>erience will not lit our future needs. Italy crushes rock with pick axes, giving employment to her millions. America crushes rock with machines and discharges her millions, leaving them to starve. Now, young man, you need not hang around look ing for a job for the machine has your job and the gate is closed to you. It is up to you to make a liv ing for yourself. The earth is the only place of real promise to the millions no* out of jobs in America. Amenta must build a new system of both business and finance Remember, young man, you will have ..to create your own job, and an humble, quiet living is the safest thing to try, and digging it out of the land is the easiest place to get it. Prosperity Through the Youth Goose Nest township i-- believed to have suffered more from poor crops and financial crashes than any other d strict in Martin county. But the peop'e there are fighting as hard those of any other section to stage a come-back. . Kspecially i-> this true of the schools of that township. ' ' .Last week the schools prepared daily programs, stressing in each the importance and need for ji change in farming methods and living conditions. And it is a sure thing that when the children fully grasp the ideas advanced, they will Ix 1 the ones who will bring prosperity back. The pupils gave a public program last I'riday, showing the work'that the school is doing in the way of teaching for better health, for better methods of farming and gardening for a living. A special lunch eon was prepared and served to several gue-ts, every item served being produced in Goose Nest township excepting the pepper and salt used. No dinner could have excelled it even if the hostesses had gone to every state in the Union , and to every country in Europe for their foods. The meal "was balanced for health and was a reallv delicious one. | POULTRY CAR WILL BE IN MARTIN COUNTY February 24, 25, 26, and 27 JAMESVILLE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24'* WILLIAMSTON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25'" ROBERSONVILLE - - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26'" OAK CITY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27'* County agents, in cooperation with the Division of Markets, have ar ranged for a poultry car to be placed on siding for one day at each of the above places.

It would have saved so many homes. As it now is there are too many peo ple who have no home in which to live. Mortgages have been put on the homes while people lived in tin cans and fed their stocks western hay stacks. Now the homes are gone. This process has gone on until many of us are ask ing for food only to hear the banker, the merchant, the neighbor say, 'we have none to spare." Now that we have located our financial trouble, it is time to take the medicine that will cure us. Live at home is the most natural, the most sensible and the short est road to prosperity. And if we ever get back on that rofcd, we must not follow every little detour sign that we may see along the road. ' The Gasoline Rebate It now looks as if the law allowing a rebate on gas ; oline used for other purpose than in cars and trucks will be repealed by the legislature now in session. The State has been rebating about $700,000 an nually to o|>erators of gas engines, tractors and other 1 types of gas-burning machines. The State has learn ed that some parties operating a tractor as little as one week during a whole year have drawn as high as S6OO in the form of gasoline rebate. Much fraud has been discovered, the claims entered having been proven unfounded. If such practices as these exist, the legislature should do away with the rebate. Playing In the Legislature It is an admitted fact that the present North Car olina Legislature is facing many important tasks, ! tasks that are far-reaching in their scope. In their work in handling these tasks, the legislators have the ! sympathy of the folks back home. But when the law-makers branch off to such petty, triviahand ri diculous practices as "s|»t -wearing" in the house of representatives, they lose the sympathy and even the respect of the people back home who sent them to Raleigh to enact needed and constructive laws. When the law-makers stages such stunts, even out of fun, the landowner back home who has lost his home and | all his earthly belongings, fosters the wish that the worthless members of the legislative flock be driven out with only barrels around their bodies and that dependable and serious-minded men or women i might Ik- given their places. ~ '■ i >-» *•. v« "V ; V*• ■' ' •*•*.'>*»-?

He knows these two manufacturers will profit more from it than the soldiers themselves. f . . Taxpaying and Lobbying Would it not be cheaper for big business to pay money as taxes than it would be for them to spend enormous sums buying up tax-making bodies and maintaining big lobbying organizations? The prac tice indicates a spirit of selfishness and dishonesty. Financed Eight Million Ho/hes In the last hundred years eight million homes have been financed by American Building and Loan As ! sociations. These institutions now have assets of nine billion dollars and l)r. Klein, of the Commerce De |>artment, thinks they will play an important part in | our business recovery.—( National Republic.) THE ENTERPRISE FARM OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY ONE Economists Not Very En couraging In Their Re por for Next Year Little improvement in the foreign or domestic demand for southern agri cultural products; more difficult cre dit conditions; probable low prices forj cotton and tobacco, and a general poor, outlook for farming next year unless one lives at home and produces largely of food and feed supplies for! family and local use, is contained in | the preliminary agricultural outlook j j report issued last week by the De-, I partment of Agricultural Economics at State College. j The report was prepared by Dr. G. | YV. Forster and R. H. Rogers follow- J j ing the economic conference held re , cently in Atlanta, Georgia. However, | | another report will be issued early in l the new year as soon as' the intentions j to plant reports are gathered at Wash-) ington. . . I The preliminary report says the : price of cotton this fall was the lowest since 1915 and will likely* 1 'be no bet ter next season due to the large car- j ry-over, the small consumption of American cottons, and other reasons j such as reduced buying power. North Carolina will likely increase its . acreage to tobacco next season be- i cause of the low cotton price. Other states producing flue-cured leaf will probably reduce but there is already t an overproduction and the consump- j tion of cigarettes shows definite signs I of slowing up for the present. I The peanut situation shoutdbe bet- " tvr except that the crop may easily be I substituted for cotton. The crop of | 1930 was the lowest in recent years and the tariff has slowed up importa tions of the large nuts. The early Irish potato situation is bad. The acreage will likely be ex panded 10 per cent with resulting I low er prices than last year. The out | look is good for peaches and straw- I berries and for feed and forage crops. Hcgs, home dairying, and home poul- I try growing offer some encourage ment also, say the economists. NOTICE North Carolina, Martin County; In the Superior Court.
