We might have believed that . four men could be found in the county who would have voted against an appropriation for this work, because experience has taught us that there are a few oiks in these parts who will stop at nothing, no matter "how mean or low or base or amall, provided they can get by with it without, coming into the clutches of the law But that four :of the men whom the people of Pasquo tank' had elected to serve as County Commissioners could do this thing we would no more hvae believed than we would liaye; believed that George Scott o.Fi-ance Sperice or Diqk and Philip Pritchard had been found guilty of, bootlegging. . We read a parabLe In The , Book which tells of a man who .discovered at harvest that his fine, wheatfield was" full of tares. "An enemy hath done this!" was his natural conclu sion. But how would he have felt if he had found that his best friend and neighbor was the guilty man? So felt The Advance,' and so, The Advance believes, felt theoverwh'eVrnin'.: majority of the people of Va.i- qiiotank wh"ii the news "hVw about yesterday 'that Gcorgf JU. acotl aril j . J. K. f.pomv and P. G. Pritk-hard and -ft. k Pritchard had voted ag.ninst the 1919 appropriation for Home Demonstration work an Fasquotank County. It is unthinkable that this ' action should be- permitted ,io stand. Thl Advance got in touch with the folks yesterday in town and in country and ii ' the overwhelming sentiment ol those who elected these com- . missioners is not one of intense indignation at the action taken yesterday, then The Atlvai'.CJ was never ni ire mist a anything in its life. was never nnrc mi.stakoa.abouti"1' h'aullful, and Humnands of wo At un,. n 1 1 rnto ii ia e,.i I ,. in ! ...i.h.i.t V.. , ! ! ;jtr ..,,,,. ,,,;.,.

SPIGOT AND BUNGIIOLE ' The only ground, vc take it, 'upon which the Commissioners lean excuse their action in vot 1 injjf against another year of Home Demonstration work in Pasquotank is the ground of economy. Rut it is u fih: and specious eco:io;.iy thaL raves the spigot and wastes at the bung jhole. ; Home Demonstration Work 'for the last twelve months cost ' Pasquotank the sum of six hun Jdred dollars. of this work to the county. It's the better sanitation, the better food, the better health, the bet- j better than the Pasquotank of toda It is not poverty but ignor ance that makes living condi tions in rural and mill sections so far from what they oujrhj to be. The Home . Demonstration Agent is working at the root of the problem of making farm life more livable just as the Ag ricultural Demonstration Agent j is working at that of making I farming more profitable. The two wprk together, but if the work of the two is to be compared The Advance does not hesitate to give first import ance to the work of the Home agent. ' The farmers may them selves be trusted to be inter ested in bigger profits. ' They are .not always r,o keenly awake to the value, of health and com-J fort and happiness and con tentment ori the farm. .Leader ship and instruction is needed, and these the' .Home Demon stration -agent supplies. The Advance invites expres sions of opinion from its read ers as to the actiort'of the Board j of Commissioners in " putting the ban. on Home Demonstra tion Work in Pasquotank.
