Looks Suspicious To Us
We can't understand why newspaper men were not
admitted to the Tyre C. Taylor 10-year program
meeting, recently held in Raleigh. I'e.rha|>s the news
paper men would not have known enough to talk, hut
they certainly could have carried the news to the
millions of Carolinians, and perhaps have done much
good in that way.
This kind of secrecy looks too much like machine
making politics. We would certainly like to know
who the 45 or SO hand-picked Taylor friends favor
for governor. -
Hearts and Pocketbooks
Nothing seems to make the heart of man grow
so much as a diminishing pocketbook. Even in this
period of what we foolishly call hard times, people
are giving more to their fellows, friends—and ene
mies, too —than ever before.
It seems that hearts and |K»cketbooks are negatives.
When we have big pocketbooks, we have little hearts
and when we have big hearts, we have little pocket -

5c per pound
For a limited time, we are willing to exchange our paper
with the people of this county for one of their principal crops—
Peanuts—at what we believe to be a living price for them, 5 cents
per pound. We believe that peanuts are too low and that they
will be higher in price if the farmers will hold them off the mar
ket for a time. To back our belief, we make this offer to exchange
our paper for your peanuts in payment of your subscription on
a basis of 5 cents per pound for the peanuts.

The regular subscription price of the Enterprise is $1.50
per year; a three-year subscription would be $4.50. An average
bag of peanuts at 5 cents per pound would bring you approxi
matly this sum. So, for one bag of peanuts we will allow a three-
I year subscription. No smaller quantity than one bag will be ac-

Is the League of Nations and all treaties to be ut

Now is the time to teach Japan the difference be
tween honesty and greed.
Our Fatherless Ones
Watauga Democrat.
The North Carolina Orphans Association this week
its annual appeal for donations to the 27 homes
in the. StaiefnaTare today caring for nearly 4,000
motherless and fatherless children. The association s
suggestion is that each man and women contribute
the income of one day's labor to these little ones,
who have been deprived of parental devotion and
care and thrust by the hand of fate upon the mercies
of the public. The need has never before been so
urgent, and despite depression, the good people of
Watauga are expected to dig deep into their pockets
and produce a substantial sum for the care of these
unfortunate ones. The complexities of the present
economic situation have nothing to do with the fact
that little mouths must be fed and little bodies
clothed. These children are our children, and each
of them deserves the protection of every man's arm
and the affection of every woman's heart. Donations
may be made to the orphanage of your choice, and
on or near Thanksgiving Day it is hoped that every
citizen of the county will open his or her heart to the
call and do their part toward bringing happiness to
the helpless. In the words of the poet Masefield:
"He who gives a child a treat,
Makes joy-bells ring in Heaven's Street.
And he who gives a child a home
Ifuilds palaces in Kingdom Come."

HUNTERS ASKED
TO LEND AID TO
PREVENT FIRES
—♦ —
Main Season Opens Friday;
Cooperation Urged by
County Warden ,
1
Starting their annual search for
quail, wild turkey, and rabbits tomor
row, Martin County hunters are urged
to cooperate with property owners in
keeping the woods and fields free of
fire in this county. The unusually
dry conditions surrounding the fields
and woods just at this time gives the
warning more weight.
In calling the attention of hunters
to the many possible ways woods
fires are started and the methods of
prevention, County Game "Warden J.
W. Hines stated this week that care
lessness on the part of the hunters is
decidedly to their own disadvantage,
for much game j s either destroyed or
driven out of its native habitat.
With the exception of a few lim
ited areas, Martin County has escap
ed fire damage so far this year, and
every one is cautioned against pos
sible danger and damage.
The following rule for preventing
fire in the woods were submitted by
Warden Hines, and they are due every
consideration.
"Be sure your match is out and j
break it in two before you throw it'
away.
"Be sure that pipe ashes and cigar
and cigarette stubs are dead l>efore
throwing them away. Never throw
them into brush, leaves, or needles.
'ln making camp' and before build
ing a fire, scrape away all inflammable
material from a spot five feet in diam
eter, 1 eep your fire small and never
build it against or near brush.
"Never break camp until your fire
is out —dead out.
"Never burn slash or brush in
windy weather, or while there is the
slightc .t danger that the fire will
spread."
P. S. Distillers will do well to heed
the warnings, also.
