Tuesday, July 2, 1935 The Test for Cowardice There is fin bcter place-Hr-dtstmver cowardice in a man than to 1ft him run lor olltce. Then you see a majoritv of fellows begin to lay down their own con viction? and crab for the popular strings of the voters For instance in the candidates for governor, we several of them twiddling around. At least one is will ing to swallow liquor lock, stock and barrel, jug, stop per. and all. Hut he is silent on taxation. He is thought to !?' for taxes on little folks but not much for the big folks, because the big folks are whooping it up for him We see other combinations in the mak ing. One of them says "We will give you your liquor and take the sales tax and other burdens off of your shoulders and put it on Reynolds Tobacco, if you will only give us office Then, too. we have a few sincere, honorable men seeking office, men who can be de|>ended on, and they are the ones who have the hydesl time being elected to office . Among the greatest needs of our people -probaly the greatest single need is more honest statesmen, sturn true to their peopley men. wlio-canjpot be despoiled by the influence of money, the pride of position, nor corrupted by society. We have just a few such men who have indicated they will be candidates for office in this state, but it is just a few. Food Problem 100 Years from Now Where does man expect to get his living during the next one hundred years? Up to this time the people have found it so extremely easy to find food that we have really given very little thought to the matter. It has been that the man who did not produce food for himself had plenty of cash and could buy it al ready baked or canned. This method become so popular that the big baking firms began to cook our breakfasts, dinners and suppers. The packing houses sensed the disposition of the people- and?arranged with the railroads to haul all the hogs, cattle and sheep "from Maine to Texas arid from Oregon to Florida to Chicago, Omaha and a few other points where (he animals were slaughteerd and processed and shipped back on the same railroads to the same depot where the meat was first shipped alive. The meat was then sold back to the same farmer who rais ed the animals. It would be interesting to sum up the freight both ways, the profits of the butcher, the broker, the wholesale man, the grocer, with interest, taxes, com missions and the other 100 and one things disguised as expenses, and just see how much it costs the man who raised the cow, sheep or hog to eat his own meat This system has grown to such enormous propor tions that it has created great monopolies and trusts with power to suppress the price of wheat, corn and meat. and. at the same, time run up the price of bread and meat. When we were prosperous enough to stand this foolishness it may have have been all right. Now since economic conditions are becoming more stringent, we are-wondering?if it isn't- about time for the producers of this country to throw a part of the load off their backs and look out for themselves a while There is no earthly reason why an eastern North Carolina farmer or slockraiser can't butcher a cow or hog just as well as the big Chicago packers. Nor is there any reason why, with the modern training courses offered girls these days, that they cannot pre pare and cook food just as |>alatable and healthful as any bakery or packer in America and feed her hua band and children just as satisfactorily as he is being fed now. We can never be free by raising potatoes, freight them north, sell them for almost nothing, then hire the railroads to return them to in the winter and -buy Ahem at a high price, if the producers gf the country will grow and prepare our own food from one generation we will be made rich from the sav ings. If we would prosper and be happy, we must pur sue the course of reason. Spend a Billion To Get a Million? The New Jersey congressman who is go enthusiastic for a national Idttery is evidently unbalanced in hit thinking. He ihtsai the result of producing a bil lion doilars, which, of course, looks godd, hut he fails to My where the billion is coming from. The man who ?in?. the gambling will furnish the billion, all right. but the main question is. Will a billion dollars do the government as much good as it will do harm for the lottery ticket buyers' The scheme is like all other gamblin; it never re turns as much as it costs. When one man gains at least two lose. >'ou will hear about the few who win but nothing will be heard from the thousands upon thousands who lose. We study too much about producing wealth, and too little about whether our wealth will hurt or hinder ethers. If the government gets a billion in profits, those who take part in the scheme will pay to in dividual holders of lucky tickets two billion and the anxious plungers, the unwise ticket buyers, will pay it all out of the money that honestly belongs to wives and children. It must be a low line of thought that causes a man considered fit to go to Congress to advocate such a corrupt way to run a government. The same thing ap plies to supporting government by liquor tax. No man, filled with the desire to help mankind go through life on the safest road possible, will arguy for a moment that there is anything whatever in liquor to help a man morally, spiritually or physical ly; and, yet they induce him to buy liquor that weakens him and humiliates his family in order, as they say, to get taxes. It is an argument too absurd and groundless to stand in the judgment. It costs a child ten fold more to get an education through liquor tax that it would if the father put all his liquor money in education.?That VO pet cent nl" tig1 fatliei 's liquot money which the distiller and traflicer gels not only is wasted sip the child fails to -get it, hut it ruins the father and same times all the family. The Wages of Sin I.iquor and women will get them?we mean bad women, of course, Good women will not, because the greatest saving influence that surrounds man is that of a good woman. But there are too many had ones to insure safety for all. When the great lawyer Dicksinson, the nephew of Chief Justice Hughes, went from his 1*1 me in New York to Detroit last week to ap|>ear in a forty mil lion dollar case, it would seem that he imbibed in too much liquor and then accepted the company of one of those suave fellows who knew more about women and liquor than he did, with the result that the law yer was shot and kicked out of the,car dead. He was possibly robbed, and evidently had engaged in a low type of gambling. Of course, there are plenty of folks who will tell you there is no harm in gambling and no danger in drink, an<| Jttat the .*ty.?ty ?"? womeji.is jnotjjjec essarily degrading. l)u not believe them. Count the dead and count the billions who, throughout the ages, have fallen victims of one or two or all three oX.the.se curses The Church of Jesus Christ would have saved this -prominent lawyer, but, alas,, he departed from Its teachings, and he is dead. An Unholy Resposibihty ? If there lie war clouds today floating over the Kuro [lean continent and the Orient, who is res|xinsible? Certainly, we have not forgotten the millions of men destroyed and the ocean of tears shed, nor have we forgotten the few who grew marvelously rich anil the millions Who became paupers in the last war. Who wants war, ami why do we want witr, and who preserves the spirit of war when it seemed at the end of the WorJd War that all the world wanted peace that would abide with us? LL was Henry Cabot I ndge not -a statesman, but? a sellish politician, who wanted r?a>m for a row when ever the proliteesr wanted another war that they might prosper again. So he fought and killed the league of Nations, showing the world our own sel fishness and undependahility, lowering the respect of other countries for our claims and our promises. When faith was lost, then turmoil and suspicion began anew. If the Cnited States had taken the lead then, generations of peace would have prevailed. When your sons are slain in battle, then think of Henry Cabot bodge as the traitof to peace. Negroes for Jury Duty hJkin Tritium-. The last legislature passed a law making it compul sory (or the Ixiard of county commissioners in every county in the State to purge the jury list for their mqiective counties, by removing from the box from which juries are drawn, those known to fie unfit, those mi longer living in the county and to provide a list of those mentally and morally fit to serve. And in this purging, negroes qualified to serve on juries, are to take their chances on jury service along with the whites, and hereafter,we will probably have mixed juries in North Carolina. This is in accordance with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court in the Scottaboro case which was thrown out of court be cause negroes were excluded from jury service in the trial of other negroes. In this, North Carolina is hut following the action of other Southern states where the race lines have been even more closely drawn than here. It is well that this precaution be taken, rather than involve the counties Tn almost ceitain needless expense, aft er the high court has spoken. The commissioners in North Carolina counties have doubtless seen to it that only the better class of neg roes have been listed. There are many of the colored race able and qualified to hear the evidence and help to render an intelligent verdict. If only these are placed in ihe jury box alongside of whites, the latter will accept them with due consideration, although their presence there will be an innovation. Perhaps this geature, enforced though it is. will serve as an incentive (or colored citiiens to prepare thrmnl-f. mentally and morally to assume this new . responsibility of citizenship. Cow Eats Five Tons of Hay In Abut Six Month* A mature cow will need one and one-half tons of legume hay and three tons of silage for a si* month fording period. When hay is fed^alone two and one-half tons should be pro vided bat a combination of hay and silage is much preferred. Silage fur nishes succulence which is very much needed in the winter ration. It is also the cheapest teed grown on the farm1 as one acre -i good corn or sorghum, will |?roducc enough silage to feed: three cows for si* months.

AVOID THE DANGER OF BLOWOUTS Firestone removes the danger of blowouts by preventing their main cause ? internal friction and heat. This is accomplished by Gum-Dipping, a patented extra process wlfich soaks every cotton cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. THERE ARE THREE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THAT WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM OF WHAT TIRES TO BUYt 1 "Will the tread give me the greatest traction and protection against skidding?" ?- Recent teste by a leading University shew that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 15% quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means death. This is undisputed evidence that Firestone gives car owners greatest protection sinat skidding. "Are they blowout-[rroof 7" ?Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the most amazing records for being blowout-proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one of the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Kelly Pctillo won the race and broke the record over this 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble?in fact, not one of the 33 drivers had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3/XX) miles in 23% hours, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 120?, without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known. 1 "Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?" ? Firestone High Speed Tires not only give you more than 5Q%lqpger wear, but also lowest cost per mile. Hps is made possible by the tough, wear-rcsistihg treed built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This thick, rugged, scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum-Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car ?wners add Undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firesfonc High Speed Tires. Equip your car with a set of Firestone Gum-Dipped Non-Skid Tires, the safest tires ever built and avoid the dangers of skidding and blowouts. 4 show FitwIoiM High ?
