Evans Member, Board of Governors, The Federal Reserve System The farmers of this country have a direct personal interest in controlling inflation. They know, first of all, that it is the patriotic duty of every American to resist inflationary price increases during the war. They know that by increasing their production to keep pace with the unprecedented wartime demands, both by the armed services and bv the civilian popula tion. they have r, lade the moit effec tive possible contr ihution to the fight against inflation, 'they are justly proud of this achievement. N'ow that the prospect of victory in Europe draws nearer. American farm ers have an added reason for support ing price stabilization. The end of j the war in Europe will necessarily be followed by a diminishing demand for agricultural commodities. Instead of being hard pressed to supply the de mand. American farmers will be con | fronted with the problem of war ac cumulated supplies and of surpluses in various lines of production. In other words, the agricultural sectors of the economy must be prepared to meet and solve the problems resulting from deflational rather than inflationary pre-sures affecting their output. The industrial sectors of the econ omy, however, will present a very different picture, at least until the end of the war with Japan and the recon version of industry to a peacetime basis l ntil that time inflationary pressures may be expected to pre dominate because the production of civilian goods will not be large enough to meet the current and accumulated demand, including the demands of farmers for many things that have been unobtainable since the war start ed. It is clear, therefore, that unless price controls are maintained and en forced to prevent these inflationary pressures from driving up the prices of the many things the farmer will need and want, he will be at a seri ous disadvantage. He would find himself in the unhappy position of selling his products at lower prices than he enjoyed during the war and of being obliged to buy the goods he wants at inflated prices. For that reason, every thoughtful farmer will give full support to a continuation of price controls until the manufac turing plants of the nation have been NOTICE TO TIMER OWNERS Pine Pnlpwacd Urgently Needed k'n War Effort Take advantage of this oppor tunity io assist our fighting men and, at the same time, benefit by present high prices paid for Pulp wood.

When that day is reached there will no longer be any need or reason for retaining controls which, however, irksome, are vitally neces sary to the economic welfare of the entire nation. Why By Ruth Tayloh Why do I talk so much about bro therhood. A god many people have asked me, making all sorts of sug gestions as to why I take the line 1 do. Most of them make the mistake of thinking I talk about tolerance. I don't. I loathe the word. To say, “1 tolerate” is to say “I put up with you”—which to my mind is al most as bad as active dislike. It is so unpleasantly patronizing. I talk about brotherhood and neighborliness and understanding for purely selfish reasons. I happen to believe in America. I reckon that by ancestry 1 am as completely a hun dred per cent American as anyone without Indian blood can be. I be lieve in the American way of life. I believe in democratic government and the rule of the people by the people. I believe in Lincoln's great line—no nation can exist half slave and half free. Since I believe this, I feel that intolerange, prejudice, hatred because of race, creed or color, discrimination or special privilege—either for or against any group—are denials of the things to w'hich I owe allegiance and are termites gnawing at the pillars of our national house. I may be an idealist but I hold that idealism is part of the Ameri can picture.

It is with deep regret that the Wil liamston public and high school stu dents were disappointed in not see ing a regular scheduled game. How ever, this is not the first time such an event has been “called oil" by Wash ington County participants, nor sure ly will it be the last. In a sense we have lost our Good Publicity Program for this town. There was a time when we could point with pride in keeping our obligations, our word of honor, but apparently the tombstone to such pride and merit has long ago been covered with moss. Perhaps fate wil some day restore some of' the good traits which we have lost—per haps yet we will be proud of Wash ington County and Plymouth, then, we can point with pride to the cradle of our birth. A FRIEND OF THE TEAM. talk of realism and of being realistic, that hope may be as realistic as fear, faith as realistic as doubt, and that George Wash^ntgon who endured the bitter winter at Valley Forge was the same heardheaded man who at Philadelphia presided over the for mation of the Union.” I believe that unless we put into practical aplication the ideal that is America we cannot spread the ideals of the Four Freedoms abroad. Like the Communist—old style—I do not believe the way of life which I want is safe unless it is safe everywhere. The world is too small for differing ideologies. No man can be free un less all men are free. I do not feel that 1 have to pick my friends or my enemies by groups. 1 do not feel that I have to open my home to anyone whom I do not wish to receive—but I do feel that my neighbor is entitled to the same privi leges that I enjoy—and that the best way to get along with him is by the strict application of the Golden Rule. 1 feel that the persecution of any American of any race, creed or color is my affair because it threatens my life and the existence of the democ racy which has given me, my par ents, my grand parents, my great grand parents, my great great grand parents, and my great great great grand parents, and by great great great grand parents, etc., so much. That is why 1 preach brotherhood. That is w'hy I wall continue to bear | witness for my faith. 171 Government House Rum -V"*i ! WHITE .... OR WlRp GOLD LABEL " 86 Proof Imported by W. A.
