Evety neighborhood should see that all peopl are provided with seed. Then if they fail to provide something for themselves, let them hunger next winter. President Hoover's Blunder President Hoover committed a great blunder when he appointed Ogden Mills Secretary of the Treasury. He is no improvement over Secretary Mellon. In fact, both of them are alike. They both stand for the "Government for the rich" and are content when millions are starving. They have made so much money by tampering with the proper rights of the common people that they have lost sight of humanity and are interested only in the power of the dollar, which they worship. V\ e need a man with a human soul in that high office and not a man who worships money. What is Mr. Mills thinking about except his money-lending friends who want to be sure of their interest ? Yes; the president made a mistake and should be made to answer for it. Speculation Should Be Abolished ' ——— Mr. Whitney, the president of th e Stock Exchange, who has been before the Senate Committee this week, says this country was built on speculation. Of course, everybody knows that is not true. But everybody who knows the facts knows that it is about to be de stroyed by speculation. The kind of speculation that Mr. Whitney is talk ing about and doing should be banished from the face of the earth. The Mighty Fall Samuel Insull, the great financial Jand political manipulator, seems to have died in his own filth, and is now forced to operate under court orders. His policy in former days apparently was to crush com petition and own legislatures. Now the handwriting on the wall has appeared, and his two and a half bil lion dollar monopoly has crashed. This idea that some men hav e of trying to swal low the earth generally meets with disappointment and disaster sooner or later. W hope the small innocent stockholders who have put a few hard-earned, dollars into the trust on some body else's recommendation will be taken car of. The history of big concerns generally has been tq squeeze through receivership to lose the little stock holders. • * i Next Winter's Beggars + The question of how many beggars we will have next winter will be determined within the next few weeks, to a large extent. Certainly, in so far as it applies to this section of the country. Excepting in cases of sickness or for some other unavoidable cause, we should not have so many beggars next winter. We have too many feasy opportunities in this sec tion for people to hunger for food. God sends all the free fish up the Roanoke River every year to feed multitudes. All the people have to do is dip them out of the water with a net—enough to last all the year around, and a good substantial food, too. Then everybody who is not too lazy to hit a lick grow all the green vegetables they need during th summer, including corn, sweet and irish potatoes. For the winter, they can put aside a bushel of navy beans or some other type. Add to the beans about two bushels of held peas, a bank of rutabagas and turnips; then a small winter garden of collards, kale, etc., and there is no need to be a beggar next winter. Of course, some claim they can get no land, a state ment that is largely untrue. The truth is there are 10 many lazy people who will not work that land owners are disgusted and unwilling to carry beats. When the people who are now waiting for work will go at it in the right way, they frill be able lo find kad, all right. One of our great troubles it that too many folks are not interested in the second meal. Some of them, when they get filled up, do just like hop, He down untfl they pet hungry again and then f» around whining for something to eat. A Dangerous Precedent The Town Council of Edenton has built a trust within the gates of their city, and if accidents happen in July and August, they may be without ice. They lave penalised -all-retail and wholesale ice dealers -by a SSOO tax if they sell ice manufactured outside of the city. That constitutes,, .of course, a monopoly which works to the advantage of their local plant. Of course, if the city owns the plant, ther e is some excuse for such a tax. If not, then they are building a dangerous trust and one that may not stand in the courts. ' Clay Williams Says Buy Land S. Clay Williams, president of the R. Reynolds Tobacco Company, says that now is the time to buy farms. Perhaps farms would not be quite so cheap and there would not be so many of them now going for taxes and under mortgage if Mr. William&dfcnd Mr Hill had induced their companies to put just a little bit -of their big dividends into the purchase price of tobacco. He is honest enough to admit, however, that only a few folks are able to buy land. Of course, he knows tobacco farmers are not, because all of their profits and most of their capital are in the pockets of his company. Platitudes That Need Emphasizing Hertford County Herald In good times and bad it is the local newspaper that usually carries on an endless series of writings appealing to more home pride and cries out against the practice of spending away from home and com munities to the detriment of the local town or com munity. Underlying this service to its circulation area is the knowledge that the newspaper itself can live and prosper only to the degree that th e section prospers and grows; and because the local newspaper and printing house is as distinctly local as a business can well be. ' Chief among the items of expense in the newspaper office is that of salaries, which in turn go into local channels for purchase of goods and the necssities of life. Supplies purchased from the outside are signifi cant as compared with the cash that goes into salaries and for service obtained locally and in its own im mediate territory. The local newspaper ought, there fore, to realize the full significance of what it means to look after the home ties first, qfd the continual hammering on the idea of town and community build ing is readily explained in the light of the newspaper's dependence upon such a policy being adhered to. The following is an example of what one newspaper says about the matter; "Towns do not die, they commit suicide, said a newspaper recently. And it is true. If everybody who makes his money in this com munity would spend his money in this community, the home town would double in population in a few years, and everybody in and around it' would be pros perous. Why are filling stations out of proportion to every other lin e of business in number? Because people buy almost all of their gas and oil at home. "It is really inexplainable why people will persist in spending money out of town needlessly, when the results of this practice are so costly. We know of one individual in the city now out of a job. This partic ular individual rarely spent a cent in Eaton Rapids, even when he could hav e saved money. Some two or three years ago this person was informed that if his practice of spending money out of the city con tinued, he would work himself oat of a job entirely. And that is just what has happened. How can the business men, or any one else, hire employees if they have nothing for them to do, or any money to pay them? When you spend a dollar outside, you take it right out of pockets of some local citizen. The first is on in all smaller cities. This does Qot only apply to Eaton Rapids. It is becoming a very serious question, and one that must be reckoned with in the near future. Just as mentioned above—the small city is not dying, it is committing suicide, inch by inch.- Instead of casting this idea off like so many snow flakes, it is time, and right now when every in dividual should give the matter serious thought. Oth erwise, there'll soon be more vacant stores in the city than we regret to report today. -Eaton Rapids (Minn.) /ournal. "Hovering" Candidates Not Wanted Beaufort News. , - In a recent speech Governor Gardner said that in electing a governor for the next term th e people ought to select one "who does not hover" over political is sues. That is to say, the sort of man wanted is one who will get down to the earth and let the people know where he stands. This appears to be very good advice, but we should say that th e same rule ought to apply to members of the General Assembly and to some extent to other officials. The Governor of the State does not make laws. He can not even veto a bill. He can use his influence to push legislation through the General Assembly and most Governors do it. Governor Gardner influenced the action of the legislators to a considerable extent last year, but he was not able to control that body. There were many influences at work upon the mem bership of the legislature, some openly and some se cretly. The result was that the longest session, and one of the most unsatisfactory in the history of the state, took places The selection of candidates in the primaries for the Assembly is now at hand. ~ It is the business of the voters to name these nominees and they should pick out the kind they want. If they choose the "hover ing" kind, the sort that nobody knows where they stand on anything, it will be the fault of the voters and they should accept the consequences without com plaint.

TO 30 THIS YEAR Observance Is Urged Upon People of Nation By Secretary Wilbur Washington, lit C.—"The week of April 24 to May 1 will this year be observed as National Better Homes Week in every one of our 48 states and by more than 8,500 communities," according to Or. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of Interior, who succeeded President, Hoover as president of Bet ter Homes in America. "All persons, whether young or old. have it within their power to make a I definite and useful contribution to na | tional welfare by earnest effort to clean ' up and improve their own homes and i premises and to help raise the stand ards of the communities in which they are citizens. National Better Homes : Week offers an opportunity, by indi | vidual and collective effort, to provide a more healthful and wholesome envir- , eminent for the, growing child while building a community of which he may j well be proud. "Over 8,500 American communities have organised committees of forward-: looking citizens and of representatives of civic, educational and business groups to stimulate well-considered [ programs for home improvement in wfhich~~tlve /citizens may participate. These culminate in National Better i Homes Week which will be observed not only by lectures and discussions, but by special programs in the schools, contests for the improvement of homes kitchens, and gardens, and by demon strations of new or of recondition homes within the reach of families of moderate income. Schools and col leges often share in the preparations made for the furnishing of such dem onstration homes or the planting of their grounds. Thousands of persons have been helped to employment through special programs on home care and repair as a means of unem ployment relief. Hundreds of tours will be conducted of homes that made specific improvements in the course of the past year so that home owners may be informed of the better ways of making improvements appropriate to their needs. "This universal educational move ment for Better Homes in America was inspired and developed under the direct personal leadership of President Hoover, who is serving still as its hon orary chairman. Tens of thousands of persons are unselfishly serving their own communities by sharing this year in the direction of their local observ ance of Better Homes Week. "The means of taking the next steps in the improvement of one's own home and community have been outlined in great detail by the President's Confer-' ence on Home Building and Home Ownership held in Washington last December, hi which thirty-one com-. inittees of leading specialists in the fields of home design, construction, fi nance, management, and related prob lems presented the recommendations which grew out of their own studies j and experience. These findings have beeh made accessible to Better Homes committees through Better Homes in America and many cities have outlined programs, based in large part upon the findings of that conference, adapted to their own conditions and needs. "Civic service based upon carefully assembled information and study, and educational in its nature, inevitably has a profound and lasting influence. ODD —BUT TRUE All citizens are urged to take advan tage of this opportunity to cooperate in these programs, which come so close to their own daily life and in terest in order that program may be made more rapid in getting rid of ( those conditions which may limit or injure in any way the health of the growing child." $4.25 Top Price Paid for Pitt Hogs Last Week Two cars of hogs containing 145 animals were sold for $1,319.17 by nine Pitt County farmers last week. Tops brought $4.25 a hundred net. Scotland Farmers Plant Improved Cotton Seed; Scotland County farmers have or dered 450 bushels of improved cotton seed for planting this spring.
