Kiinninfi I /> The C.oxt Bv packaging fresh corn on the cob in a neat cellophane pack of .six instead of marketing the corn in husks, growers-in some markets have received a price double the market value. The neat and sanitary packaging of food for market has increased sales, no doubt, but there is a decided trend toward an extreme in that direction. When consumers complain about high food prices and producers complain about low prices, it is about time to do something in the middle If the consumer can pay double for corn wrapped in cellophane, well and good, but too often the consumer is not able to double his ex penditures and when the old style of market ing is discarded the consumer turns to other foods without the fancy wrappings. It has been estimated in some quarters that fancy wrappings and super packaging have in creased food prices in some instances as much as thirteen to fifteen per cent And a bad fea ture about it all, the producer ordinarily is call ed upon to bear a greater portion of the packag ing cost Some say the cost is added to the re tail price, but when the producer is selling a product for less than cost of production, it would appear that he is paying all the freight Housewives, while appreciating the bright and enticing wrappers on various food pack ages, will do well to forget about the beauties and center her attention on a plainly marked grade. The history of liberty is a history of limita tions of governmental power, not the increase of it.?Woodrow Wilson. Dealing With Piratet Christian Science Monitor. The relatively calm response of American opinion to news of the brush between the De stroyer Greer and a submarine en route to Ice land adds to the evidence that there may be some shooting at sea without America declar ing war. Yet the public undoubtedly supports the occupation of Iceland and the action of the Greer in answering a torpedo attack with depth bombs. Indeed, many Americans would Mke to see their warships relieved of the command to shoot only when attacked, possibly ambush ed. For Nazi submarines and surface raiders are nothing more than pirates. They have no shred of legal or moral right to range the seas, ly ing in wait for neutral and merchant ships, leaving women and children to drift for days in mid-ocean, as did the people of the Robin Moor or subjecting civilian neutrals to gun fire without identifying their ship, as in the case of the Zamzam. On the meager information now available it is possible to believe that the assailant of the Greer mistook her for a British destroyer. Or dinarily the American ship would be easily dis tinguished by her four funnels close together, but since the fifty destroyers traded to Britain are also of that type the U-boat commander may have had only the flag to go by. Yet he must have known American ships are carrying mail and supplies to Iceland and that his tar get might be American. This makes it probable that the attack was deliberate., and the fact that the torpedoes went wild may mean that they were meant to hit not the ship, but Am erican opinion. Of course any such purpose will be unsuc cessful. The American people recognize the necessity of maintaining British-American con trol of the seas. Even those who are opposed to sending troops to land on the European Conti nent recognize the value of keeping the Nazis away from approaches to the Western Hemi sphere. And most Americans support the Pres ident's policy of furnishing supplies to those who are holding back the Hitler war machine. They prefer to send materials rather than men to hold back Hitler. They see the effective sup plying of Britain and Russia as the best hope of ending the war and keeping America out. Many other Americans are convinced that the struggle in the world today is one in which the ideals and interests of America are vitally concerned. They believe that the American case against ,JJitl*riSm stands on its own feet and might be even "clearer if Britain were not in the picture. They feel that the United States must help to hold crime in check in the world community and that it fortunately has today aid from Britain, China and Russia. They would like their country by feasible action to take advantage of that present help. They would welcome more active measures against Nazi pirates. It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. WEDNESDAY MORNING SPECIAL ELK' TYLER'S Linen Sale c LAST CHANCE?AT THESE SENSATIONAL VALUES ?

Staple Farmers Get New Test Service North Carolina cotton growers are getting "another good break" in the U. S. Department of Agriculture's cotton testing service, designed to improve the quality of southern cot ton, says Tom Cornwell, Cleveland County cotton farmer and member of the state AAA committee. The Cotton Service Testing Act, passed by the 77th Congress last April, provides that the department shall begin immediately a program of testing the various qualities of fi bers and yarns submitted by farm er growers and breeders of cotton. Fees for the tests, which will be con ducted at Clemson -College, S. ?q Texas A and M, and in Washington, D. C., will range from 20 cents per sample for fiber length analysis to $40 for a complete fiber-yarn spin ning test of material submitted. The service is scheduled to begin immediately but necessary prepara tions for the new work may cause some delay in full-schedule opera tions, Mr. Cornwell says. In the past cotton breeders have had little or no information of a technical nature relating to the qual ity of the cottons they have develop ed. Years of commercial use have been required in the past to show definitely whether the cottons had qualities asked for by manufactur ers. The new testing service will be set up to give growers and breeders the desired information quickly through the use of small samples of lint. The service also is expected to be open to cotton mills for testing yarns in the future. Several mills al ready have asked permission to sub mit cotton samples, the AAA com mitteeman adds. Market For (lord Wood l? Expected To lie Very Good ? With the rising price of coal and fuel oil, the market for cord wood in Durham County is expected to be unusually good this year, says James L.
