THURSDAY, SEPT. 23, 1920. USE COMMON SOBER JUDGMENT It would appear unnecessary to gay to the business men, professional men and farmers of Edgecombe Miuntv. all of whom are of more than ordinary intelligence, to use common sober sense, not to lose their 'heads in useless attack upon individ uals, bureaus or industries, but to look at the present situation with good judgment and with cooperate energy endeavor to weather the storm and right the ship of commerce with the least possible disturbance to any interest. That we are at a crucial point in history none will deny. That the present crisis demands the best en deavor of all to extricate each one in the community from an awkward situation is apparent to most of us and what must be done is to take hold of the condition with energy and cohesive action. What we are trying to drive into the minds of all is the need of clear minded determination to be unselfish to the extent that each will help the other to a degree that all may be enabled to carry on until conditions improve. For instance if a farmer realizes, as he eventually must, that he should sacrifice his tobacco in order to save his cotton, let him go determinedly to work and market his tobacco in small lots so. that he may get the best results possible, then take the! money realized upon his tobacco crop and pay part to his bank, and mer chant, so that all may be benefited a little and that the money may be kept in circulation. Take a concrete example for in stance : Suppose a farmer owes his bank one thousand dollars and his note is coming due in a short time. It is the duty of that farmer to sell enough of his crops to reduce his indebted ness by fully a fourth of the loan. ! As one prominent banker very tritely stated: ';If ail the farmers who are owing any bank would make up their minds to be prepared to reduce their loans by twenty-five per cent when due, we could also reduce our borrowings, and thus put the commodity in good financial standing." Suppose all the farmers in Edge combe county would take this ex ample to their hearts and carry out such a program the banks and mer chants would be enabled to as3ist the farmers in holding part of their cot. t?n crop should the prices be below tha cost of production when their cotton was ready for the market. Above all eL-e it must be realized that alj extravagance muit cease. The time is now here for the most frugal habits. It would be nothing less than a crime for men and wom en to be wasteful during this crucial period. It matters not whether you owe a dollar or not the example you set will surely be followed and it is et such a time as this, as it was dur. .ing the war, that the bet traits cf every 'person is shown. . Let us all get down to rock bottom i.;d do such things as we would have done to us. This is not pleasant af ter the era of utmost plenty, but when necessity calls we want to find our people answering the call as did the second, generation before us and as we have recently seen in the pres ent generation of our stalwart and jg vviiy m Suffer?rS Wonders for Me," Declares This Lady. 1 i "I suffered fdr a long time wlthwomanly weak ness," siays Mrs. J.

Where disorganization contributed last year to the great Inroads made by the dis ease, by virtue of Its knowledge of the disease and the presence of well es tablished .hospital centers, the Ameri can Red Cross this year will undertake the work with a new confidence. Including the total of $11,000,000 In supplies left from the last fiscal year, the $31,500,000 Is $21,000,000 less than the expenditures for 1919-20.

For assistance to soldiers, sailors and marines In hospitals and In camps this year $1,900,000 has been set aside.
