THE •:0 NEWS. BREVARD. NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY. MAY 19th, 1922. cigarettes A year ago— almost unknown Today — a leader A sweeping verdict for QUALITY Boys of the Cities Must Be Carried Through Their Predatory Stage By GEORGE L. KNAPP, Chicago NAVY'S WIRELESS SERVICE The noblest mission of the wireless la to establish a tie between the main body of the world ai^d those outlying parts, beyond the frontiers of dvlllza- tion, where courageous and adventur ous and devoted souls~missionarles and pion|ers of commerce and educa tion—are living their lonesome lives. To the exiles from the United States and Europe who are on the lonesome islands^ of the Pacific the radio has proved a veritable godsend. It has performed the miracle of bringing them into Immediate and Intimate touch wkh their native countries, with the home people, with civlUzation, says the Pittsburgh Sun. There will be general sympathy, theref<^, with the anxiety of these folk in the Pacific for the continuance of the radio news service which has been furnished them by the United States Navy. The au thority granted the navy by congi’ess to send out news reports by wireless expires on June 30, and President Har ding has been asked by the director of the Pan-Pacific Union to use his in fluence to secure an extension of the authority. The child is father of the man, yes; but there are considerable differ ences between parent and offspring. Every normal boy goes through a predator}' stage, a period when he idolizes Bobin Hood and Roderick Dhu, thinks "property rights an imbecile convention of grown-ups, and longs, in varying degree, to prove his worth by reaving and harrying. One doesn’t need to be a psychologist to understand this; he needs nothing but a good memory. I have known boys to walk miles to steal apples not so good as those to be had for picking up in their own orchards. As to how I know, I must decline to be interviewed; but the information is accurate. Now, in the country, tlje boy gets this out of his system without doing much damage; and when he has left the slack of his pants in the grip of flome neighbor’s dog and sM allowed a large dose of castor oil as a remedy for the pains caused by piej^ng unripe fruit, he begins to see that there may be something in these grown-up ideas, after all. But in the city, the ’boy’s plundering hurts, and hurts folks who can not stand it, not to men tion the enormous amount of portable wealth open to seizure on every hand. The city boy must be carried through his predatory stage by giving him something else to do. It is a question, partly of moiiey, more of men, but, most of ail, of public interest. Wlien people realize what can be done to keep boys from starting out on the penitentiary road, they will supply the necessary money and find, educate or somehow call into being the needed workers. The condition of the women on the farms of the country has been greatly improved In recent years, largely by their own efforts, and they have ar rived at a point where they do not want to be patronized or pitied. They Just want to be understood. There are organizations of farm women all over the country and they have done a great work in the Improvement of con- ! ditions not only as far as themselves I are concerned, but for the community I in general. These organizations have I been the means of bringing libraries I and amusements Into the neighbof- I hood and In securing improved school facilities. It is claimed that the aver age farm w'oman of today is quite up to the standard of the average city woman and in some respects superior, says the Detroit Free Press. Gen erali}' speaking, she is keener to seize the advantages offered than the city woman is. This is a time for courage. Busi ness is passing through that rather dark hour which proverbially precedes the dawn. When tlie war boom v/as nearing its crest few raen or concerns had the courage to retrench rigorously. What is called for now Is courage, not to retrench, but to prepare actively and aggressively for the period of ex pansion which ought to set in this spring and gather reasonable momen tum In subsequent months. This Is the brand of courage which will win in 1922, says Forbes Magazine. Back- boneless individuals and enterprises are acting timidly. Those i><n«sessing Judgment, vision and energy are exer cising confidence. In which d!sss are you? '!l For Some Time to Come Russia Will Be the ‘'Sick Lady of the World’’ By CHARLES R. CRANE, Former U. S. Minister to China Five years ago Russia had the “fover.” Wlien the crisis came, friend- I’ly physicians were called in and, if the patient did not make much prog- ‘ ■ ress toward recovery, he was at least in sympathetic hands, with neighbor.^ ' ! and friends all anxious to promote his recovery, i Unfortunately a brutal and unsympathetic neighbor insisted on tak- j ing charge of the case—forced out the attending physicians and put in ■! charge some doctors whose only experience had leen gained by selling I :patent medicines on the street corner. '! They drove out all of the friends and chased av. :>y all of the neighbors «nd started to perform a major operation without an) particular diagnosi&, and certainly without any anesthetics. The patient has gone through great suffering and agony, but just how much none of his friends or neighbors have been allowed to know. Possibly he will recover some time, but it will only be after a kmg ! period of convalescence. But some skill will be required, and a great deal of sympathetic nursing. For many years we have talked of ‘^the sick man of Europe.” For . some time to come Russia will be "the sick lady of the world.” ■ _ - Machinery for a Twelve Months’ Marketing of Our Annual Production Keeping the nations at peace with each other depends on “as mxneb in tercourse as possible betwixt people and as little as possible betwixt gov ernments.” This comment is ftorath^ pen of Richard Cobden, English states man, economist and original enemy of tarilTs. Cobden died 57 years ago.*. But his notion that wars are caused by governments, not peoples, is as ttinely now as when he wrote it. 3ame^ thought probably has occurre<T th- ma ture intellects since tinve began.

By EUGENE MEYER, JR., New Finance Corporation. 5SgS2SEKSa52S2HSESHSE5ZSaSHSS5HraK52SESHSE52SELt!5E5E52S2S2SE5E£25ES 'As a :;ierchant nation we must study the changing conditions and ad- . jast our E.i rchandizing and financing operations to them. We must rec- ^ognize the recessity of selling our agricultural products more gradually than we di.i in former years and the corr '^ >onding necessity of carrying our commc .ties for a longer period oi m^ t'ng. We need the machin- .<ty that wi’l make possible a twelve mont li’ imirketing. The pr» ducers of basic commoditip« in America, I am convinced, are going to have more to say in the fut >. ^ than they had in the past about : the marketing of their products. Th ■. will not be satisfied always to mar- i het their products in a lump at harvest time, to be held by others until V.thc consumer is ready to buy. If it can be made possible for the producer, imder normal conditions, to market his produc '.s gradually there will be many advantages. The producer will not be f mpelled to sell his crop at a particular time without regard to the consii; lug domand, and the danger of violent fluctuations will be considerabl; reduced. And nothing would be better for the pro ducer and the con: iner—bcttjr for the nation as a whole—than to have A oompararively s-i ;dy n'iirl.;et w.u] steady flow of Tl>e mosft hopeful sign of all from Russia: is the news that tlie soviet goventment has ordered its delegat^^ to tfre Genoa conference to hav*> their hair rut.
