The Course of Youth Uncertain Everywhere we turn we hear the cry hardtimes and bankruptcy. We are willing to admit the scarcity of money, heavy indebtedness and inability to meet debts, a condition that always brings on a state of unrest and gloom. However bad that condition might be, we still believe our moral bankruptcy is contribut ing more tojjur unrest than our poverty is contribut ing The uncertainly of how, when and where the young people are going to late up is the cause for the serious thought of the day. It is causing more loss of sleep by fathers and mothers than all our debts and all of our hunger and rags More of the many murders and suicides are the result of moral destruc tion and loss of virtue than from the loss of property. While we are attempting to regain our fortunes, we should pay even more attention trying to rehabili tate our moral life, which will assure us more peace and happiness than all the gold in the universe. Consider the Benefits What of the cost, or don't we count the cost? The family telephone averages about $24.00. per year It is convenient, and useful, and is worth the money The family light bill averages about $36.00 |>er year. Electricity saves much work and expense. It is certainly worth it if you have got the $36. The cost of the radio is about an average $125.00 investment, which is an interest outlay of $7.50 an nually. The average current or battery cost is enough to carry the annual cost above $20., to say nothing of depreciation. The moving picture show costs from 15 cents to JIOO per year for eaifi*member of the family. Sundas autoing will cost about $35. per year for «ach rider. The home newspaper costs from SI.OO to $2.00 per year. Suppose' we were to consider the benefits and satis faction gained from each of the expenditures men tioned, which would net us the largest [»er cent of benefit and satisfaction? How does the mind of men and women and children who limit their social con tact -to the telephone, or to listening in on the radio, or those who see the picture show only, compare with the minds oft he men, women and children who read the newspaper, a paper that developes the most good and highest thoughts? Which of the group would you prefer your boy or girl to leave off. Which would you prefer them to do, read and think, or do nothing but look and listen? Recreation might be all right in its place, but the trouble is we are attempting to pro gress with amusement and recreation as our founda tion to progress and build upon. If things go to that point where people have to give up many of the things that they are enjoying, what shall it be? Will they advance a dollar for the paper that pays them fifty weekly visits, or will they put that dollar in a week of amusement or in a Sun day ride, just to settle down and grope their way during the remainder of the year without any means at all to lead them to think or enable them to learn about things. We have already paid too much money for the other fellows thoughts; time to start reading and thinking and i>ay more attention to the basic things of life and not so much to comics. We feel safe in saying that no family can afford to remain ignorant of the things happening around them, that they can get more for their newspaper dollar than they can for any other thing.

Osborne of Alexander County that he was going to start right in 4-H dairy calf club work' to he sold a grade cow and calf to secure additional funds •ceded to buy a registered heirfer.

TISM 16th DAY of February 1931. - H. A BOW EN, , Administrator. f-17-*t John M. Bowea. il Link up reading and action— that is thr efficient way to read. Lord Kelvin bought a book on Heat, by a French sciential—Fourier—and it changed his whple life and led to many of his great discoveries. Faraday bought a book on Chemistry and became the founder of the present Electrical Age. Westinghouse bought an English magazine on compressed air that gave him thg idea of his air-brake that is now used in all the railways of the world. Henry Ford, too, bought a magazine /md saw an article on Horseless Carriages that started him on his way to become the most successful of all manufacturers. The man who does not read, in these days of quick changes and irre sistible progress, drops behind and becomes an obso lete and insignificant unit in his trade. Reading is a ladder. You MUST read if you want to climb.—Her best N. Casson. Comparative figures on the cost of insurance un der the workman's compensation act in North Caro lina and Ohio show that our State is discriminated against without mercy. In Ohio, the state administers the affairs and even with the very low rate charged there they have laid aside a very large sum for the insurers. In North Carolina, the money-making insurance companies charge twice as much as the State of Ohio charges, and give less benefits, and pocket the difference. This is a shocking blow to the fellows who say private institutions can beat the government in managing business. - The figures are listed below. Which will you take, those of the State of Ohio government or those of the privately-managed, blood-sucking insurance people who come to North Carolina? Here they are: Classification N. C. Ohio Rate Rate Cotton —Spinning and Weaving $ .82 $ .40 Yarn Manufacturing .82 .30 Furniture Manufacturing 1.61 .90 -Cigarette Manufacture ... - .32 . .18 Tobacco Kehandling 1.12 .40 Ketail Stores - .33 .14 Grocery Stores .50 .35 Wholesale Stores J3l .20 Bakeries 1.19 .80 Electric Light & Power Companies 4.88 3.50 Machine Shop* 2.0 V .80, Saw Mills 5.91 5.50 Sash. Door aiid Blind Manufacturing 2.25 .80 Planing & Moulding Mills 3.09 1.70 Office Employees .04 .02 The above is a comparison of only a few classifica tions and rates. It shows, however, the major classifi cations affecting North Carolina. . The Ohio State Fund has $56,000,000.00 in assets, as of December 31, 19J0. Was there ever a greater misfit in anything than there now is in the leadership of the Democratic Party, a party that has for ages stood square for a government of honest administration, a government that assured all men and every kind of business an equal show in life, a party that has administered the laws of the land without graft and without scandal? Now that it has been placed in the hands of and under the dominition of John J. Raskob, it has be come unbearable to its voters, and all because its leader is as far from its principles as the east is from the wfrst. Raskob is in perfect accord with the rank est principles of the old line Republicans in tariff matters, combination greed and corporate domineer ing. The Democratic I'arty can not progress with Ras kob leading it, nor can the true Democratic Party live with his principles dominating it. The cry of the Democratic Party must be "down with Raskob. Senator Harry B. Hawcs, of Missouri, says the law prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons is "taking the gun from the citizen and giving an in surance policy to the crook." This is another evidence that United States Sena tors do not know everything. The Hawes statement, in truth, is proof that they sometimes use more ton gue than they do brain. The point that he seems to be trying to advance is that a murderer will not shoot a man if the man has a pistol in his pocket. His assumption is far wrong because everybody knows that gunmen never shoot except from ambush or without warning, and when they do shoot they know well that the other fellow is no better off with a pistol thin he would be without a pistol. When the habil of carrying pistols becomes general, there will be twice as many malicious killings aa there are now and four times as many accidental killings than we now have. And then, too, does the Senator think it beat for citiaens to go armed about their daily tasks in this highly enlightened and Christian land?
