TT?stntp. although All over me -??, _ more noticeably in the great central area between Pittsburgh and Denver known as the Mississippi Valley, there is a spirit of unrest among the farm ers which, as we view it, foreshadows material and perhaps radical changes in our axial and economic scheme ol things. The demand of the farming population of America for relief from the double burden of high taxes and ? interest on mortgage indebtedness has never been so widely and efficiently organized as it seems to be now. In spite of everything that has been at tempted in the way of relief, farxr commodity prices continue at low levels. It is not to be wondered al that the "farmers' holiday" movemenl is spreading. Why should any mar continue to produce something thai he cannot sell, or that he can sell only at a loss? When the farmer is getting no in come from his farm he certainly can not pay bis debts or the. interest or them, nor his taxes. The movemen for a moratorium on tax and gort gage "payments is growing rapidly It may have far-reaching effects. w< have a feeling that in the long run f is going to be better for creditors t< give their honest debtors time, \hai it is for them to seize property whici cannot under present conditions ean the interest on its cost. In the mat ter of taxes, inability of property owners to pay has already brougfr about a situation in several cities ant a good many counties, in which publii expenditures are necessarily bein* curtailed to the lowest possible mini mum. As we see it, the whole world i/ going through a drastic economic re adjustment which will, we believt wind up by a very widespread anc general compromise on all existing debts and a fresh start for everybody Much of our trouble is due to the fac that such a high percentage of ou: agricultural production has beei in the past for the export mark et. That market is rapidly dimishing as one country after another find; ways of supplying its needs withou importing. We think that the forced economii reorganization which is now unde: way must result in the reduction o: our agricultural production to ou own internal demands. That thi will benefit every grower of crops o: livestock is unquestionable. The mos prosperous f.Jiners in the world to day are those of France, who product only enough to supply the needs o. the French people and are protected by their government from competitioi from outside. Under the French pirn of strict limitation of wheat acreagi French farmers got better than $1.51 -a bushel for their crop in 1932. It seems to us that we ought to & able to apply at least as much inteQi gence to our own agricultural prob lems as the French do to theirs. FOOLING THE VOTERS One of the difficulties which oti: National and State governments hav< to face, whenever a question of taxa tion comes up, is the fact that thi great majority of voters do not re gard themselves as taxpayers. Thi is more particularly true in the citie: than it is in rural communities. Th< great mass of industrial workers owning no property themselves, hav< had the belief impressed upon then that taxes are paid only by the ric) And this belief is carefully cultivated by a common type of politician, wh< poses as the "friend of the commoi : > peopta" and carefully conceals the fact that every tax is always passec an to the ultimate eonumer. ?" ?i e?

Company Now Offers s Fertilizer Guarantee ? c , New Policy Said To Mean n J Sharing Risk With To- n j I bacco Growers s .1 o ij Norfolk, Va., Feb. L?Announce- a ijment was made today by Oscar F. ? Smith, president of the Smith-Doug- b rJlas Company, Norfolk, Va., that J i henceforth his company will goaxan- b ? tee their brand of Orange tobacco e ' fertilizer to tobacco growers, causing b ' j a sensation in local tobacco raising t : and fertilizer circles. 0 c The guarantee which was announc i ed reads: t "If, after using Orange tobacco fer- I utilizer and marketing your crop, you \ are satisfied that Orange is not worth r ?[the premium we charged you for it s - above the cost of other fertilizers, we I J will cheerfully refund that premium e t to you in cash." t The sensation is caused by the fact ] ? that a guarantee of any kind of re- ? J suits with fertilizer has been careful- f 11 iy avoided by fertilizer mixers, e > j Guarantees have been limited to t : chemical analysis, and a guarantee < i of results was heretofore unheard of < i in the history of the fertilizer busi- 1 - J ness. ? r" When interviewed -as to the reason I t behind this unprecedented move, Mr. 1 11 Smith said: i : "There has been lots of talk about c i helping the farmer, but not enough ? action. We want to help the farmers i and we want the farmers helped, and t * j we have found that one way we can c - be of real help to them is by mak- ? sling this guarantee. < Ij "The reason for this is, that the i r I tobacco grower will prosper only with i . high yield and high quality leaf, i t There is no doubt that the need for i r economy has influenced many grow- ' i ers to .economize on fertilizer, without 1 - proper consideration of results to be , obtained, resulting in low yields, poor a quality and lack of profit, when they 3 t otherwise might have obtained a fair I return for their labors. i : "For a long time all the gamble in .< r growing tobacco has been on the far- 1 f mer's side. Now we are going to take < r some of the gamble off his shoulders, i s by enabling him to use a better fer r tilizer without any extra risk to him- i t self. , i "We have sufficient confidence in < ? our Orange fertilizer to do this, and : f it means that the grower can buy it, ] i use it, harvest and sell his crop, and < i if he feels it is not worth the dif- ! 1 ference in price, we will cheerfully ! 2 refund to him the premium he paid I ) for it over and above the cost of other i fertilizers. 2 "We are especially proud of being I - able to do this, because we know we i - are making history in this further < step in our policy of working more < closely with the farmer. We were i the first to sell direct to the farmer, i we were the first to guarantee him i against price decline, and now we are J r the first to make it possible for him ' - to use a premium quality fertilizer 1 * without risking any extra cost or ex- i i pense to himself." i I New Rogers Film ; Is Brilliantly Comic j t - I : Will Rogers is a curious anomaly, f II Claiming to be an unlettered cowhand, i V he nevertheless conceals a brilliant 1 I' brain behind his rugged exterior. And < I' the combination makes him as gen- , lL uinely interesting on the screen as he Is is in print; more so, in fact, though t I' heretofore he has kept his two media t I well apart. ' l: In "Down To Earth," his newest \ I' Fox picture however, Rogers com- 1 II bines both his whimsical screen per- a I- sonality and the rapier-like wit of his j II newspaper and magazine articles, z I The film will elicite yells of merri- c | ment from the audiences at the Para- t mount Theatre, Farmville, Monday- f Tuesday, Feb. 6-7.

C., Feb. 8.?Portha J rentieth tame since ft was adopted 1787, the Constitution of the Unit- _ 1 State has been amended again, * |^e " ratification " jfecrc&uaft : ffij^Bienffinentby 86 states, three- r xartera of the tot^ xmmber, the term t gWfcfch'Roosevelt was elected Pres- c ent has been shortened, as well as t ie terms of all Senators and Repre mtatives. Never again will era be j eated to such a spectacle-as Is now , a view in Washington, ofa President j ad Congress who have been repudi- ( ted by the people still holding office ( ad carrying jm the badness ofrlthe lovernment. It took Congress tea years, after lenator Norrig of Nebraska first pro osed?it, to submit the amendment rovidfng thai a new President and longress would take office two aonths after election, instead of four aonths, without any intervening ses ions of the hold-overs. But it took nly a year for the amendment, once ubmitted, to be ratified. President Boosevelfs term, which egins on March 4, 1933, will end on anuary 20, 1937. The terms of mem bers of Congress elected in 1984 will nd on January 3, 1937. There will ie no session of the old Congress be ween the election and the incoming f those newly elected. Economic Skies Brighter The agreement between President loover and President-elect Roose elt to have the State Department nake arrangements for the discus ion of war debts, beginning early in liarch, is looked upon here as a itep which holds out the hope that here will be no delay after the new .'resident takes office in working out i readjustment of the international inance situation. The British gov ernment will send a representative o Washington to thrash out not >nly the question of what can be lone about the money which Eng and owes the United States, but ilso to go thoroughly into all the re sted subjects such as depreciated 'oreign currencies and tariffs which mpair England's power to pay their iebt in commodities. Mr. Roosevelt .-and Mr. Hoover ire in prefect accord on the idea of resting with each of our European lebtors separately instead of in a general conference on the subject of lebts. As Mr. Roosevelt expressed t, this will not give the European lations a chance to "gang up" igainst America. At any rate, there i s a much more hopeful feeling in the lir about the general economic situa tion. Farm Relief and Bonus ! While it seems certain that the' farm relief project providing for oonuses to farmers who voluntarily reduce their crop acreage will eventually be enacted, the bill seems likely to have. hard sleding ahead of it so far as the present Congress Is concerned. There have been so many amend ments adopted by the Senate Com mittee which is considering it, that, sven though it passes the Senate, it is net regarded as probable that the House will agree to any of the ihanges which have been made, and since the present Congress cannot jit later than March 4th, there seems to be hardly , time to get the differ ences ironed out. ? As the measure stands now, the i>onus to be paid to the farmer wfio reduces production is to be the differ ence between the pre-war price of his jommodity, as recorded in govern ment statistics, and the market price it the time his product is sold. Thus, if wheat was 95c a bushel?which figure has been accepted as the pre .var standard?and is now 40c a eushel, the farmer who agrees to a 20 percent reduction in his wheat icreage will get a bonus of 56c a >ushel above the 40c market price ?eceived for such wheat as he actu illy sells. This bonus is to be im >osed as a tax upon the millers who >uy the wheat. They will,cf course, >ass it on to the buyers of flour. It nay make a difference of a cent a oaf in the price of bread to the retail onsumer. ? Tense Agricultural Situation Washington is beginning to wake ip to the seriousness of the agricul tural situation in the Middle West. The " farmers' holiday" movement inder which thousands, of farmers , . .... . :? i ... ' lave agTeea to suspena proaucuon .nd to stop the sale of agricultural iroducts has now developed into a novement to stop mortgage fore losures and tax sales, to cut the in erest on mortgages and reduce the ace of them, to prevent deficiency udgnient after foredoaure to re luce taxes and to declare mora oriums on farm de^te*,, ^ Ti*' In at least twenty-one states there re proposals pending ia the Legis ?tures to reduce mortgage indebted ess or provide moratoriums on farm ebta and Sjjja other ^pr&vfik uch relief for farmers as will enable heat to hold their *vfarms . aiuf to ontfeue :3h> Hve on them.

Martin, Attorney. A TONIC Laxative CONSTIPATION, with the annoy ing symptoms that usually come with it, cuts down organic force and disturbs normal health and well-being. A thorough cleansing of the digestive tract is of great assistance in the removal of sick ening constipation symptoms. When excessive accumulated waste matter disturbs and strains the muscles of the large intestines, rendering them temporarily un able to perform their wave-like evacuating movements, Thedford's Black-Draught is useful in stimu lating them to activity, which, again started, should continue regularly until some future dis turbance interferes. In this way, Thedford's Black-Draught is one of the TONIC laxatives, tending, ? as it does, to establish a regular habit of evacuation.
