S2 25 THURSDAY. Al"G. 2. 1923 Have you read the Swap-Ads? Grade your sweet potatoes and help keep the price up. "Old fashioned brown sugar," says an Advance advertiser. Yum, yum! Glad to see that the price of cotton has again got off the to boggan. North Carolina seems to bid fair to hold its place in crop values. What goes up must come down?including even the price of sugar. "Women need.time to think, read and pray." says Mrs. Cot ten. But what about the men? Any dictatorship is bad and history seems to prove that no dictatorship can endure. But when one must choose between dictatorships Fascism as prac ticed in Italy seems infinitely i preferable to Bolshevism.* It certainly carries out its pro gram with less Wiiste of blood and treasure. ^ It strikes The Advance th'J it would l>e mighty fine, v.heu ii epincs to furnishing the remod eled quarters for 11>? ? firemen, if the furnishin;-: could include a radio receiving set. Having required the motorist: to stop at certain street inter sections in Elizabeth City, it seems that it would lx> nothing but fair to put stop to jay walking at auto-stop corners. Business or Politics? i Henry Ford is said to have re marked on his birthday that his greatest years of accomplish ment lay ahead of him. I The Advance hopes he's right.] Mr. Ford has some rather revo lutionary ideas which his im mense resources enable him to try out. He believes, for in stance, that farms ought to be run by machinery instead of by hand and that farms and manu facturing centers should be in the same localities in order to afford workers variety and con tinuity of employment. Already Mr. Ford has devel oped an automobile which has done more to destroy the isola tion of the farm and to build good roads and to add to the rec reational opportunities of those with moderate means than ;>11 the laws that have been put on the books in the last century. If he can now make cheaper tractors, bring cheap hydro electric power to American farms and do something for the masses who, like the coal min ers, have to make their living 011 employment for only part of the year?if he can.bring into the lives of the toilers in mine, or factory the opportunity to watch corn grow and the blos soms set, and if he can bring to the worker on the farm the com forts and conveniences and'top portunities in way of pleasure that the wage earner in the city enjoys, he will do more to solve the problem of civilization than any of our Presidents?Lincoln and Wilson not excepted. Let us hope that ho will have the judgment to continue to put forth his efforts in a field in which he has shown himself a genius, rather than to follow the example of other men who late in life have been persuaded to jump from success in business or industry to failure in politics. Says Christianity Has No Time To Lose Dr. Pinson, Addresses Metho dists At Junaluska On Mis sions In The Orient Lake JuujIu^Kh. August 2?"For the purpose of this hour the Orient means China. Japan., Korea, and Siberia-Manchuria; in which Metho dists occupy territory more than ten times as law as the state of Texas and involving areas'composing half the population of the globe, the lar gest single race of people, and the biggest block of white people on the planet, among these two are being wrought out two of the most col ossal experiments in government ever undertaken. These exper iments are already rocking the boat of International serenity." I This statement was made by Dr. |\V. \V. Pinson, of the Methodist i Episcopal Church. South, in the course of an address, "Missions in 'the Orient," before the School of Missions. In session here today. "In this territory," Dr. Pinson continued, "is the melting pot of the Orient whete at least three jealous and suspicious peoples watch each Sillier -with sleepless vitHdancp.

Vast strides are being made in this direction in China and Japan. "These churches in Asia are evan gelical. They are winning their own people.
