Tuesday, August 18, 1931 Economy Now Essential Hon. William A. Graham. Commission of Agri culture, in a recent issue of the Fttrnl Forecaster, has the following to -say regarding the present agriultural situation in North Carolina: The discouraging price outlook in the field of ag riculture emphasizes, first of all, the real necessity for true economy -not the "|x>nny wise and pound foolish" .kind, buMjjat form of economy whereby all tesources are judiciously utilized. We should, there fore; distinguish between real and false economy. No man is""practicing economy who, for the sake of a lew paltry dollars, denies his children nourishing food. On the other hand, if he converts his talents into the production of food for himself and his family, he is exercising a form of economy that is lasting, and that, in the long run. will yield splendid returns. The present, situation calls for it calls for diversification of crops. This is a principle that 1 have often pontcd out, together with the state ment, oft-repeated, that we should, first of all, pro vide ourselves with the necesities. of life and'use the cash crops as a surplus, after fundamental needs have been supplied This is the only sound course. Agriculture. |*rhaps, could not have esca|»ed the depression, which has either engulfed or had a pro Mounted influence upon practically all lines of human endeavor. Certainly the blame can not be laid on the farmer's doorstep, yet the average farmer would have been in a far Itelter position to meet the situation if he had looked ahead and made provision for the quick utilization of his resources against the day of adver sity. , ——- When Egypt faded seven -years of famine, after seven years of plenty, foretold by the dreamer Jo seph, the storehouses were filled with grain and hun- IN MEMOKIAM In sad but loving memory of my darling child, Kuth Muriel Modlin, who was killed August lKtli.

C~ offer for sale to the highest bid der, tor cash, the following described { real estate: , . - —— lit Tract: A one-fifth (1-5) undivid ed interest in a tract of land contain-* iag Utt acre* of land adjoining the gr was forestalled. Moreover, the fact that Egypt had prepared itself against want had a far-reaching in fluence on the history of the world, through the Jew ish people, in that it brought Joseph, his brethren, and his father together. It would have been much better for us if we had adopted a policy of full di versification before the present depression struck us. But that does not alter the fact that those of us who have not adopted such a policy do so at once. An Answer To a Puzzling Question The oft-re[>eated question, "Where has all the mon- , ey gone?" has at last been satisfactorily answered. And the answer is, "It has been stolen." Bank cashiers and many state, county, and town officers seem not to b$ able, in these latter days, to handle money without stealing it. Nobody seems tfr be able to explain why the taste or greed for money has grown on us so strongly during the past decade. The latest surprise came with the announcement of the stealing of $30,000 by an, old trusted tax col lector of the city of Raleigh. He says it all came about because he tried" to help his friends. That may be true, because it is friends that often drag us down. But more often we fail because of wild women, spark ling wine, and fancy gambling. After looking over the long list of crimes through out the country, we are convinced it was a wise rab bit that said, "Trust no mistakes." i Our Tobacco Money Only two weeks until the opening of the tobacco markets. Why are people so interested in this event? Not for the long, tiresome grind of the auctioneer's song, nor for the milling crowds we see, but because we hope to get money. Heretofore, we have been interested in the open ing mainly because we wanted money to spend. Now there seems to be a different desire for money, and we apparently want it, to use. Doubtless some want it Ho pay taxes past due, some want it to pay inter est on debts we should never have made; some want it to pay a bunch of honest debts that we have made with neighbors and friends. Some want it to make investments; some want to lay a little aside for the rainy of old age, and [xrhags some want money for other purposes. But whatever may be our de sires. it is safe to say that our tobacco dollar this year will be worth nearer 100 cents than any we have had for, 15 years. With the prospect of moderately low prices, there is every reason to l»elieve that people are going to use their money this year Judiciously—pay debts, ease their consciences, give them freedom, help others, and go on in a happier and better way. The purposes lor which we use our money will de termine whether tobacco is worth anything to us .«!• ' . . - this year or not. We generally make debts in good times and have them to pay in hard times. That has been our past history, but we have generally come out. and can now, if we will s|>end what we have in the proper way. We at least should so spend our money that we will preserve our honor and merit the respect of »> our neighbors. lands of W. A. Uracil, W. A. Peel, the Roanoke River, \V. A. Stokes, (lara Everett, R.

DUKE CRITCHER, alB 4tw \ —r- Trustee. 1i ' ■ THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX DRINKING JUDGES To the editor: Somewhere and some how, within the realms of human jus tice to all of the people, it seems to me we should have the highest type of our very best men for judges to hold our courts, as they have the pow er and the right to pass on the inno cence or guilt of any one brought be fore them. This should be a double reason why they should uphold the law and not be lawbreakers them selves. I believe when a judge is known to get drunk or whisky it found in his car, or to keep whisky in his office, even to give away to his friends is absolutely wrong and should bar him from holding the high office of passing on the innocence or guilt of other men for breaking the law. Some times our officers run down a poor white man or a negro for breaking the law, and I do not say this is wrong on the part of the officers to do their duty. But I do say in many cases men in the high places break the law and get by with it lightly. It must be very embarrassing for a judge to punish any one for breaking the whis ky law, when be at the same time has it in his office to give away to his friends, when no one knows better than our judges that at least three fourths of the law breakers and crimes which come before our courts are caused by strong drink. Judges who want to do the right thing should keep the law themselves, or resign as un fit to pass on other lawbreakers. J. D. RAY.
