Friday, ittfmxl 15. 1941. 4 (ritual /VnW in II or Id History Next September and October, in the opinion of many, will be the most critical period in the history of the world The meaning of the his tory to be recorded in the two months at hand is to be determined by several factors, the larg est of which will be the part America and Brit ain undertakes in cooperating with Russia against Hitlorism. - September and October are recognized as ideal months for campaigning and if Russia can hold out until November, Hitler will have made ready, in ulj, probability, for the long trek back home to a discohTeiited and war-wui 11 peO people If the United States and Britain limit their aid, Russia may cave in. for it is admit ted that her armies and material are being tax ed to almost unbelievable points The great sacrifices Russia is undergoing and the strong morale reported among her people should prove to the world that, after all, that great country has something in common with that which is decent, that its leaders have a per fect right to call on us and others for help in stopping the spread of Hitlerism If we are going to act, we must act now that the tide might be stemmed when the campaign runs into favorable weather within a matter of a few weeks. The rains are decreasing now, and will stop almost abruptly next month. While the shortening days of September and October and falling temperatures will have some neutralizing effect, the supreme test is expected then if not before Freezing weather -.ar. be expected 111 the far north about the nild dle of October, but there are almost three months before the cold season descends upon the fields where tens of thousands are being slaughtered now At Odessa freezing weather will hardly set in before December 15. and snow will cover the ground there for a matter of only a few days. Operations will be slowed by snow at Kiev for about three, months, at Smolensk - and Leningrad for about five, and at Murmansk, on the Arctic, for some over six months. The weather promises to play a big part in checking Hitler in Russia, if Britain and the United States act to carry Hitler well into the Russian winter. Will Britain and America act in this critical period'' Keeping llie Loir in H aihirifiton Now that thr law has born read, there is lit tle doubt but what Senator Burton K Wheel-' er violated it when he allowed the America First Committee, an organization with a broad yellow streak down its back, to mail out one million post cards under his franking privilege. The law provides that members of Congress may send "free through the mails, afid under their frank, any mail matter to any government official or, any person, correspondence, not ex ceeding four ounces in weight, upon official or departmental business." The law, and its mean ing is quite clear, forbids "any person entitled under the law to use a frank, to lend said frank or permit its use by any committee, organiza ? tion, or association, ui permit US use by any person for the benefit or. use of any such com mittee, organization, or association." .Custom and courtesy allow many rotten things to go by in the halls of the National Con gress, and while they may escape the prosecu tor the acts have a distinct bearing on the peo ple back home. Respect for law and order is lessened, and instead of looking to members of Congress as leaders they, somehow or other, come to look upon them as men of doubtful character. If Mr. Wheeler is allowed to go free after stealing $1U,000 from the government through" the promiscuous use of the franking privilege at Democracy's fountain head, then what right has the lawmaker to call upon the common peo ple to obey his laws? It is such things as this that prompts one to say that the common people are better, in many instances, than their duly or otherwise chosen leaders. Leaning Barktrarfit For An Argument Daylight saving time, in effect since July 28th, is still a lively topic for argument. We dare say that if the people had willingly cooperated in thc\movemcnt and withheld their criticisms, the individual could tell no differ ence in the time schedule. Each of the approxi mately 132,500,000 Americans, excepting the little babies, has such a temperament and such individualistic characteristics that he must ar gue, show his obstinacy and differ with ev eryone else that there is no longer the remot est possibility of doing any one thing that will please more than a mere handful of people not to mention everybody. N Those who have opposed the new time sched ule and actually worked contrary to its pur poses possibly forget that there was sound rea son for asking the people to adopt daylight time. To most people the explanation that there was a power shortage and that daylight time would at least offer to help relieve the situation was sufficient. It should also be remembered that the people were called upon to act voluntarily, that the call did not come at the beginning of the summer, but came only after conditions al most demanded it. With a very few exceptions ,the people of this section are in line with th? wishes ex pressed in duly authorized proclamations. But there are those few who boast about going by "old" time. There may be room for argument, but after .the leaders of our State and nation call upon us to act and do as little as change our clocks one hour it does seem that we could do that without squawking to high heaven about it. We just lean backwards to start an argument. We talk about the need ot an united world to stop Hitler, but back home we can't even stop arguing over such a little thing as an hour of change in the daily time. It is still our self-claim ed and recognized right to differ with others, but when we are called upon to do something ourselves it is about time that we did something beside bellyache and grumble about what we are asked to do. I\o Lott Art The art of letter writing may be lost, but post-card writing has hoon pstablished as an art for now and evermore by Burton K. Wheel er. the griping isolationist United States Sena tor from Montana. Abusing his franking privi lege, the Senator thinks nothing of mailing out a million post cards. The Senator makes $10, 000 a year salary, and then turns around and spends $10,000 of the taxpayers' money to cre ate dissention and literally ram subversive pro paganda down the throats of the American peo ple. L The price to maintain the art of post card writing is too great to pay, and that along with the $10,000 paid Mr. Wheeler could bo dispens ed with to the great advantage of the red-blood ed American people who as the off-spring of those patriots who thought freedom worth fight ing for in '76 are now agreed that the freedom we now enjoy is worth fighting for in 1941. Joiirnalimn Journalism is an honest service or a dishon est racket. You can make it the medium for a cheap opportunism if you wish. I have known lawyers who made their living keeping crooks out of jail; doctors who kept patients coming merely for the fee; clergymen who preached what they did to satisfy valuable parishioners. But for thosq who stultify themselves there can be no Dover Light, no wicket gate to the Celestial City. But to those who keep their eye upon that light, the press is a pulpit where one can preach to a larger audience than any church can hold; a sanitarium where sick souls can be healed by knowing the truth; a univer sity from which they is no graduation until the last low prayer is said; a public service which provides for this generation and for posterity. ?Dwight Marvin, Editor, Troy Record, and 1'resident of ChF~American Society of Newspa per Editors.

Neutral Fertilizers Increase Yields Of Potatoes - Cotton Plots of Irish potatoes, sweet po tatoes and cotton that have receiv ed neutral fertilizers have consist ently out-yielded those receiving acid fertilizers in tests made by the North Carolina Extension Service, says E. C. Blair, extension agronom ist at State College. With sweet .potatoes, the- rat urns from neutralizing the fertilizer in creased as the potash was increased in the mixture. These increases were 3.7 bushels to the acre for three per cent more potash; 11 1 bushels for six per cent more potash, and 14.2 bushels for nine per cent more pot ash, Mr. Blair reports Neutralizing fertilizers with dolo mitic limestone, in similar tests, has increased the average yields of Irish potatoes as much as 32 bushels to the acre. Basic fertilizers have produced increases up to 46 bushels, Mr. Blair adds. The results of tests for three suc cessive years with acid, neutral and basic fertilizers applied on the same plots have indicated no potato scab infestation resulting from the neu use of neutral fertilizer. ?Cotton yields, in the same experi ments, have shown increases of more than a half-bale to the acre by the use o fneutral fertilizer. Yields of Irish potatoes in Bladen fine, sandy loam were increased 33 trab fertilizer, over the yields of po tatoes which received acid fertiliz er. In Norfolk sandy loam the neu tral fertilizer brought an increased cotton yield of 266 pounds to the acre over cotton produced with acid mix tures. NOTICE North Canolina, Martin County. In The Superior Court. County of Martin against Emma Jones and Town of Hamilton. The defendant, Emma Jones, above named, will take notice that above has been The Disturbers. . . By BERNARD T. HURLEY Pastor, Methodist Church When the sect called Christian first began to get busy in the Roman Empire it was said, of some of the adherents when they arrived at a typical town: "They that turn the world upside down have come hith er also." The Christians were known for their power to disturb. This sounds somewhat strangely today when in most countries where Christianity is predominant it is commonly understood to be a force for conservatism and a guarantee that established conditions will not be rudely upset. The fact is, howev er, that the root idea of Christianity is automatically, inevitably and ev erlastingly a source of disturbance The reason for this is that social con ditions which the people feel to be permanent are almost always organ ized upon the idea that some men are better than others, that some are born to be beasts of burden and oth ers to be drivers. But the Founder of Christianity had a most subversive idea, and with ^ ^ inoculated his followers. In those cases where the idea "took," true followers were produced: where it did not "take," the results were spurious?they were not real Chris tians, even though they claimed the name That subversive idea is the doc trine that one man is as good as an other in the eyes of the Father of us all, and kings, dictators, presi dents and all the high and mighty must stand before the Judgment with the peasant, slave and common citizen. Every human being, Jesus held, is an immortal spirit of infin ite worth. Hence everyone is a cit izen of that republic of spirits un der which everyone has equal rights. It was this idea that eventually destroyed the institutions of slavery, whose foundations were firmly set in economic privilege, picturesque sentiment and long tradition. It is Dm* same idea-that lies-at-the conr of democracy everywhere. It is the leaven that perpetually works away in all lumps of social life, raising up and disturbing the dough with its subtle und pervasive influence. As soon, however, as some settled system is nicely built up, along comes the disturber and hurls at it again the old simplicities of Jesus So long as these remain vital no in stitution can hope for perpetuity un less it is founded upon .justice and equality. This the disturber knows which accounts for his sense of power?and his popularity.
