Tuesday, June 21,1932 $300,000,000 For Relief Congress is going to do one wise and noble deed before it adjourns. That is to set aside $300,000,000 to keep the American people from starving next win ter, which they seem to be sure to do unless they are protected. President Hoover said last year that local units should take care of the poor in their sections. He now sees his mistake and seems willing for the government to get into action. If Mr. Hoover will cut out the big gang and come down and sit with the poor for a short time, he will find out just how bad the panic is. Revival of Shame Needed One North Carolina preacher says we need a re vival of shame. That preacher is right, because he means that kind of shame that revolts at indecency and vulgar excesses, which are so apparent these days. We need the kind of shame that will make us fol low the lines of Christian character and walk up rightly. We need that kind of shame that will not make our mother and father ashamed of us. We need that kind of shame that will give us modesty—in temper, dress, word, and deed. Longing for the Fleshpots The children of Israel murmured and complained while marching through the wilderness and longed for the fleshpots of Egypt. . The same thing seems to be true of many of us Americans. We are not satisfied with our march to-_ wards soberness and decency, and long to march back to our liquor—a thing that in most cases injures our minds, bodies, and morals, and never fails to corrupt politics. Sound Sleeping The Greene County farmer who slept while a rob- his bedroom and carried a trunk away evidently a hard sleeper. The worst part of it all was that when the burglar got away from the home he quietly broke open the trunk and took the gold and bills, amounting to between £I,OOO and $1,500, and went on his way, while the farmer is left without his tunk and his savings of many years. This illustrates another case where money is not safe, even when we are sitting by it and sleeping with it. Farm and Home Agents Can Help > » - r Henry Ford says self-help is the best help a man can have, the truth of which statement can not be denied. Our greatest trouble comes, however, from the fact that there are so many |>eoi>le who do not know how to help themselves. They have been guided so long in their labors by some one to think for them that they have lost their ability to help themselves. They are similar to the eyeless fish in the Mammoth Cave. They have been so long with no exercise of the faculties for self-help that their power is gone. It is now time to teach the people how to help themselves. Our farm and home agents could find hundreds who do not know how to plant and culti vate a garden, and it is high time that they get on that part of the job rather than teaching such things as hat-making to a people who do not wear hats. e ~ The world's attention will soon be focused on some thing to eat far more than it is on something to wear. Food should be stressed above everything else, and our farm agencies ought to get on the job in earnest to help. No Decrease in Assessment on Farms And Homes Tmrhoeo Southerner. The editor notice that in Martin County the valu ation of property of all kinds has fallen off more than $390,000 for the present year, and that is shown on the tax books for the year. The editor this morning asked Auditor Laughlin bow much was the decrease of property rn the tax hooks for the present year in Edgecombe, tr! Vs re ply was about $1,000,000, and this app)i a . in ..y to pMfc, solvent credits, and personal property of «U Who and What Are They? > We would like to know the nature, aspirations, and demands of the "Sons and Daughters of Liberty," a fraternal organization of some type, which recently ' •held its state convention in High Point. Is it possible that they have ideas higher than the teaching of the Ten Commandments or the life that Jesus taught men to live? Are they teaching higher ideals in life than brotherly love to the extent of do ing the same things for your neighbor that you would have him do for you? There are 999 chances to 1 that they have nothing half so good as the teachings of Jesus or the laws of the Ten Commandments. Of course, they are dissatisfied with certain laws and rules of life and government that have been evolv ed from hundreds of years of experience. The chances ar 10 to 1 that the liberty they demand would destroy justice and deny liberty to others equally as worthy as themselves. Must Act in Sane Manner Durham Herald If America finds relief from the ills of prohibition, the people will have to approach the issue in a sane manner. Every person living who was at all familiar with the days of the open saloon knows that there is more sobriety now, even with a greater laxity in all things moral than there was then. Whisky is plenti ful now, and so cheap that anybody can buy it. But it is no easier to get than if there were legalized sales. Return of legalized sale of whisky will not in itself bring temperance, or decrease the consumption of whisky. It takes something of greater influence than mere governmental regulation. With only 13 States being able to block a repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, we are not looking for that repeal soon. Neither are we looking for any material change to lie brought about through partisan effort. Why Net Tell the Plain Truth? It is a great pity that so-many public men seem afraid to tell the people the ttuth, aud the plain truth, about public affairs. As an instance, an influential group in Congress in sists on a direct issue of government bonds for relief and public works; while President Hoover denounces «tich an issue, but is willing to authorize the Recon struction Finance Corporation to double its output of bonds to use for the same purpose. This is mere "shadow boxing." Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation bonds are government bonds. The honor aiid credit of the United States Government are behind them, and they wouldn't sell at 10 cents on the dollar withofit such backing. Publishing Paper Is Expensive Sampson Independent. Most people read newspapers, but few have any conception of the cost or work required in publishing a pa|>er. In fact, many think it an all-profit under taking. However, this is far from being the true status of the publisher. From our acquaintance with, and observance of, the newspaper game, people who .devote their-lives to this particular vocation work harder and longer hours for the remuneration gained than those of almost any calling. Yet there is a fascination about the work, and with it a satisfaction of service rendered. The following, taken from the Bowie Tribune, of Arizona, gives a little light on the actual cost of pub lishing a newspaper: "The 12,000 weekly newspapers in the United Urates have figured out the actual cost jn cash ptcr 1 line of every editorial, local and news matter that goes into a newspaper, no matter how large or how small the paper, and that cost varies from 1 7-8 cents to 2 1-2 cents per line. So when you feel like cussing the editor for not publishing your spring poetry, just stop arid think that it is going to cost Jiirri 2 cents per line in cash to put it in type, make rt up in the jiews paper forms, run the papers through the press, fold them,, and then take the forms off the press, and dis tribute the article or poem back in the case again. And it has happened many times that the author of the pofcm became quite peeved when the editor hesi tated on handing out a dozen free copies of the paper. This newspaper game is a great game—yet there are scores of both men and women (who were never in a printshop in their lives and who would not know "a news|>aper press when they saw it) who could—or think they could—run the newspapers better than they are being run. Machine Age Cause for Unemployment Sampson Independent. Give candidates for political office credit for mak ing an occasional sensible statement. One of the as pirants for nomination in the recent primary was quot ed as saying: 'improved machinery will starve the people unless something is done. The Western Union Telegraph Company has laid off 125,000 operators in 18 months. The American Tobacco Company has just installed machines, each one of which will do the work of 19 people. I favor a tax on such machines so high that it will be cheaper to do their work by hand." Improved machinery has played a large part in bringing about the present unemployment problem. This is a machine age—an age when machinery of the improved type reduces materially the need for labor in almost every enterprise. Farming is not ex empt. It will be hard to get the heads of any busi ness to go back to the old system, to be sure, but it is true, nevertheless, that manual labor is being replaced by machinery. And it would appear that the prac tice is to-become even more general. —~-.- . . * o r* THE ENTERPRISE ODD BUT TRUE —— - • 'I, - ' •. t t'' , .

That's a good record—but skinny, scrawny folks just can't help putting on firm healthy flesh when they take mentha pepsin with their meals. Mentha pepsin is a tasty appetizer that acts like nature's own gastric juice to draw out all the good of what you eat. No stuffing. No forcing down of rich, greasy foods. Simply eat what you like and mentha pepsin will do the rest. One skinny girl gained 14 pounds in 3 weeks. Cost her only SI.OO for a big bottle of nientha pepsin—she took a tablespoonful with her meals. Be sure to get genuine mentha pep sin by asking for Dare's. Clarks Drug Store and other first-class druggists 1 always sell it with a guarantee of money back if even one bottle doein't help.
