Should Exchange Jobs
Some (oiks art- working too much, some are fishing
too much, some hunting too much. while quite a few
.are resting too much. It will Ik' a line thing when
- these things are all balanced up and all are' ret|Uirf3- ;
to work some ami all are permitted to lish, hunt, and
rest a little.
Our unbalanced condition causes unhappiness. A
system that gives every person some task and s >me |
recreation will make everybody happier.
The old idea of, educating to keep from working is j
a thing of the |>ast, and educate to enable a
jterst'inXo work better. The man who works all the |
time shoultPbe pitied, whlie the man who rests all
the time should be censured. They need to mix their J
jobs. It will help both.
Credit Conditions j
•_ .  • _
The government had no trouble in selling nearly
a billion dollars worth of 1-2 j>ei cent bonds last |
week. In fact, they were oversubscribed more than |
five-fold. This shows that there is still an abundance !
of money in the country. Yet it seems to l>e doing
very little good in a business way. While nearly every
kind of business is at a low ebb the government has
an abundame of credit.
Howevgr, the fact remains tli.it •■the government s
only strength i> the people and their property. It lan
command any amount of credit it wishes, based on the i
people, while the jieoplC* themselvesMtave practically
lost their credit.
This condition has gone on so long and gotten so
far that our individual business standing is as low as
it has been in half a century, and if a man owns thi* i
1 land; sea, and sky, ir is iVafdTtrget moneyr
The word goes down the 1 itie that the trouble is loss
of confidence, and the question is Who has lost con
fidence, the big man or the little man? Since tlie finan
cial manipulations of our country is in fewer hauls j
than it has ever-Jjeen. We can hardly understand
why they lack confidence. On the other hand, the ( >9
per cent of the |»eople have nothing to trust out, i
and it makes no different« to business whether they
have confidence or not. «
'lt all looks more like the mojiey of the country
has been cornered and is withdrawn from business to
the extent that the man without money has lost all
of his power to trade and has to submit to the terms
of the man who Jias. the money —a condition which |
never fails to make hard times, . |
Possibly the honest truth is that when people did
have, money they trusted it too freely with the un
principled manipulators of the money and wealth of
the country. Experience should have taught the lit
tle man never to trust the big man too far, and of !
course the big man will always take care of himself. !

VALUE FAR ABOVE THE PRICE

The longer times continue "tight," the more cheap
property, the wealthy will swipe it.
The American people will never be safe unless they
get off of a speculative basis and come down to com
' mon economic principles.
J • .
Why Landowners Suffer
The farm census shows a shrinkage in values in
North Carolina for the ten-year period 1920 to 1930,
of $226,000.000.
This is a loss of only about 25 per cent. On the
other hand, gold, the basis of all commodity values,
' has gone up about the same amount.
The hardship on land does not come from its ac
lual loss, however, because with only an actual loss of
25 per cent, it has lost in its trade value as much as
75 per cent. A farm that was good for a credit basis
I of SIO,OOO ten years ago will not produce more than
! $2,500 in credit now.
What this country needs is a lowering of the value
! of gold, which will at once raise the price of property
! and set trade in motion. The money hrarders are the
■ fellows who are making hard times.
Entangling Alliances
will leave Haiti next year. Vet who can tell how
many wars will be kicked up down in that little in
nocent country before then, which may keep our armed ,
forces down there for years to come.
One of our troubles has been that we have stood by
and aroused the war spirit in these little countries
which has kept them fuming and quarreling too long.
Net our national policy is sup|x>sed to keep us away
from entangling alliances.
The New School Law
• -
The new school law has not yet been fully explained.
It is said, however, that it will weaken the home eco
nomies and agriculiural teaching now being done in
the few schools in the State. If that is true, then that
part of, the law is bad.
If there is any part of our educational activities
in the past that is deserving of censure, it is that these
activities or branches of school work have almost been
cut out. 'Oyr own county has gone down until we
only have such work in two schools, Jamesville and
Robersonville, at the preset)t —just half as much as
we had ten years ago.
, Now, if these are to suffer, all we can say is that
our State system lacks wisdom. If there is anything
thai the youth of our State needs it is to be taught to
love home and res|>ect the farm —two fields that have
been woefully neglected in the past.
Every township in our county should have train
ing for both boys and girls for life in the home and
on the farfn, where a large majority will have to live
and die. And yet we have'been fooling them in the
past by telling them what fine presidential timber
they are, and have given them a yearning for the daze
and din of the city, where there is more death than
life for them. It is high time to stop building
the city ai the expense of the country.
1 It Is Rati, Tnn .
It- looks bad to own two automobiles and give
nothing to charity; to keep two dogs and not |>ay the
doctor; to have an idle boy and have the lawn mowed;
to belong to four clubs and be a stranger to your own
family; to be extravagantly dressed and in debt.—
K munis Magazine. -
Our Most Important Task
With a new school law which pledges the State to
o|>erate the six-months school term without cost to
pro|>erty ad valorem charges about 15 cents per SIOO,
every child in the State should be withdrawn from
the fields and factory, where there is an overproduc
tion, and placed ill school.
We have manufactured too much cloth with child
lalxir and we have grown so much cotton and tobacco
with children working in the fields that the prices will
not justify production.
We have no task so im|x»rtant at this time as the
education of our children.

Diteaset
Adults can, and do, contract many
children's diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from the*n much more thna
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worm*, an ailment usually
associated v •.  liildren. Sometime:
they Buffer iuiem/ly and toke expen- I
sire medical treatments, without real.- I
sing that worms ore the cause of their I
troubles. Yet. the symptoms are tho
same as in children, loss of appetite
and weight, Binding the teeth and rest
less sleep, itching of tho noss and anus,
and abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex- ;
pels round and pin worms from children
will do the same for adults White's
