The State Senate is attempting to get a board composed of three educators and two business men to investigate,jhe school books now in use in the State. It is very important that the utmost care' be used ifi the selection of books in this latter day, when every kind of wildcat theory is rampant in the minds of some of the educators. Almost any kind of stuff is liable to slip into our schools as textbooks. It piay be that North Carolina is free from such Ixioks. and it should be kt*pt free. Through some unknown, or at least unseen, power it seems to be impt«sible to get a course of study on the evil effects of alcohol and drugs on the mind and body. It is also impossible to get a course of Bible reading for the purpose of teaching against lying, stealing, immorality, etc. jYet we are liable to get books in the hands of our school children that detract from all these principles. We must not condemn (he youth for doing wrong when we fail to teach them the difference between right and wrong. Farming To Live This Year Things look good in the countryside now. Go along any road you may, you see on every hand substantial evidence of the coming prosperity which this country is to enjoy during the next one or two generations. That is the putting of land to work to produce substances to shelter, feed and clothe the people. . . We may not fully understand, and perhaps we d> not want to make the necessary change which is in evitable before we half-way reach our ideas of pros perity. Our only hope is to do just what is being done in nearly every field along the road that is farm to live. And unless all signs fail, this section of the country will have more ft'al independence this fall than we have had for many years. That is, we will have something for all on the land to eat dur ing the coming year. We will have,to go a step fur ther, however, before we can assure ourselves of a lasting prosjterity, and that is to economize, and it must reach out in every line of expenditure. We cer tainly can not produce commodities with $1 labor and buy products made by $5-a-day labor. Ten years hence will find us living on a very much modified schedule. Our clothing, our food, and our recreations will all have to come chea[>er if we lift the load that we are now carrying. The thuory that is being preached as a panacea for our troubles is to spend as fast as we can, which will put*trade in motion and make business good. This has proven untrue. In fact, that is our trouble. We have s|>ent too fast already, until all we had has'boen absorbed by the fellow with whom we traded. The only true and safe thing to do is not to s,»i nd ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE j Having this day qualified as admin-: istratrix of the estate of W. A.

We should not buy things for a dollar today which will be worth only fifty cents tomorrow. Produce what we actually need —if we can —buy nothing except such things as are actually needed for our physical, social, educational and religious needs. Then we will soon be on the sure straight road which leads to a prosperity tenfold better than the kind many of us crave. What will be our fate? If Germany and Austria are consolidated, and Ger many cultivate the farms of Russia and forms an al liance with her, she will then be able to wage a bigger war than ever, and would be able to crush Europe. What the world needs to do is to help Russia rather than kick and curse her. Her friendship and trade are worth far more than her enmity. Germany has been whipped, but we must remember that she is raising a new generation which may want some world conquest, too. We will gain more by right living and fair play than we will by sharp trading. Federal land banks and other agencies organized during the period of ' high finance" brought easy cred it to farmers and land owners, and now there is doubt l* to whether or not it was beneficial or detrimental to those who took advantage of the opportunity to bor row money on their real estate. In many instances the money was spent for luxuries and now these same farmers find it difficult to rejiay. Many of- the finest and l>e»t farms in Eastern North Carolina already have been advertised and sold by various land banks, and indications now are that the process has only be gun. And this does not apply alone to farming lands,-, but to" town and city property, as well. Too many people borrowed money when they really didn't need it, borrowed because it was easy, and now the time for payment has arrived. Credit is indeed a great asset if not abused, but when abused it becomes a liability.— Sampson Independent. Senator Lawrence "stumbled over the peanut" some senator said the other daytb) reviewing the flimsy ex cuses members of the "little senate" have given for failure to carry out the wishes of their constituents by voting for measures to relieve land of a small portion of the taxation now imposed uporv it. Excuses are not what people want; they have been fed up on too many already; If there is any real reason why Sen ator Lawrence should not have followed the strict advocates of the Mac Lean law rather than the Folger- Grier Equalization Plan, his people have not been given the facts that supjxtrt such reason, or reason ing. Hertford County Iter aid. Some sections of Eastern Carolina are becoming anxious to get oil wells going. They are talking of boding wells in Perquimans and Lenoir Counties. The stock of these new projects are not listed on the regular exchanges yet. It might be easier for these people to buy stock in the Havelock well over in Craven County. There is a large amount of stock in the bottom of that deep hole over there which can no doubt be bought cheap now. "In Jesus' Name " were the last words of Col onel E. C. Hillyer, while praying in a Raleigh church Sunday morning, when his heart ceased to beat and his soul went to the spirit land. ,/ Doubtless most of us would like to have the sum mons come under the same circumstances. Vet how little is the world doing along that line. We have yielded our hours of prayer to pleasure programs, until it is a strange thing to hear the name of Jesus, unless somebody dies, 'llie name of some famous prize fighter, golf player, baseball hero, or movie actor is heard oftener than the name of the IJeity. We seem to forget that in the history of man, he has prospered who has kept close to the house of the Lord, but the nations that forget God are always doomed to fall. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL !
