I ? BUSINESS FAILURES M !?? .? ? ? MM-Uwa-r- -i SURPRISING It is surprising to be advised, through the chart of Dr. 'tRmiafd fa St^"' fafl which wamwnaS to d?putefTh| ruptcy certainly injures legitimate producers and* without doubt, does nothing beneficial to the consuming public is the long ran. The same may be said of a who, through ignorance or inefficiency, does sot understand bow to manage his business on a basis which will permit its continuance. Time and again, we have heard of inexperienced people going into business and Lit? bankruptcy because of a lack of busi ness training. PLANS WOR-TIME CAPITAL An indication of the situation in Europe can be seen from a report that the British Government is en gaged in the construction of extensive works in the old cathedral city of Exeter, which, it is said, would be used as a capital in the event of war. This city is one hundred and sixty eight miles west of London, well off the trade of raiding aircraft in search of military objectives. The trans fer of the British Government to some such location is regarded as in evitable when war begins. Certainly the Government could not carry on its functions without comparative se curity from dangerous air raids. BRITISH TO FIGHT FOR TRADE Early this month, a prominent British official revealed that the Gov evnment was encouraging British in dustry to organize to meet German trade competition throughout the world and warned Germany that the British were ready and able to meet her at the game of selling below world prices. That this was not idle talk is seen in the step of the Government to provide a fund of $60,000,000 to "guarantee British export trade, not on commercial grounds but on the basis of 'national interest'." In other words, the British have apparently made up their minds to protect Brit ish trade interests upon the only basis that it can be protected, by meeting the competition of other powers, including Nazi-controlled Germany. While we are not familiar with the ramifications of foreign \ trade throughout the United States, it might be possible for this country, with its vast gold hoard, to play the same game and protect American trade throughout the world. Ger many will proceed with her barter system aa long as there are profits to he obtained, bat the minute that the other nations take action to make it a losing game, the Germans will be ready to proceed along convention al lines. t I ? Erosion Controlled By Water Disposal A well-planned water disposal sys tem for farm land is essential to the developing of a complete erosion con trol program, according to W. D. Lee, of the State College Extension Ser vice and E. B. Garrett, state coordi nator of the Soil Conservation Ser vice. The first step consists of making a general survey of the entire farm, in which consideration is given to topographic features, slope and eros ion conditions and the individual farm requirements based on available land and proper land use policies. In the Soil Conservation Districts being^pet up throughout the Stater Ifce asset step is s detailed survey, from which a water disposal map of the farm ia prepared. A copy of the map ia presented the farmer and ia shows the propeeed to ciwfln ot terraces, wren teugui, ai rection of flow, and drainage area indicated; the projfteed location of waterways and disposal areas, with phinnnd treatment {"d1"***"!; the location of field boundaries, in clading possible relocation ai fences; the location of -risthig andproposed reads to provide access to all points on the term; and the proposed loca tion sf other erosion control struc tures, such as contour furrows, diver sion ditches, gully dams ami stack *?*?? i&. ?S8IS To complete water disposal planT a schedule of operationa la wurkc4 I out*by the p*o?w>'nr tolmiwm tmi I tha farmer, showing the order and | the year in which terraces and out (lata in the variouaiield* at* to be | constructed.

McMillan, quoted from a letter written by Phi Giovanni in 1513. "I salute you?I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, but there is much, very much, that while I cannot give it you can take No Heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take Heaven. No place lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant Take Peace. The gloom of the world is but a sha dow. Behind it yet within our reach, is Joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see? and to see it we have only to look. I beseech you to look. Life is so gener ous a giver; but we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath It a living splendour, woven of love, by wisdom with power. Welcome it grasp it snd you touch the Angel's hand, that brfngs it to you. Every thing we call a trial, a sorrow,, or a duty, believe me that Angel's hand is there; the gift is there and the won der of an overshadowing Presence. Our joys, too; be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal di viner gifts. Life is so full of mean ing and purpose?so full of Beauty? beneath its covering, that you will find earth but cloaks your Heaven. Courage?to claim it; that is all! But Courage you have; and the knowledge that we are Pilgrims together, wend ing, through unknown country, Home. And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you. Not quite as the World sends greetings, but with profound esteem and prayer, that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away." A Christmas Dinner By Rev. John H. Grey While you are planning Christmas presents do not forget your friends the birds. Give them a feeding tray with plenty of food for Christmas dinner. Often birds need the extra amount of food which we thus pro vide for them. Especially is this true during severe cold, when it takes more food to keep their bodies warm, and during the times when their na tural food is buried under layers of ice and snow. The easiest tray to make is to nail a shallow box to a post Or perhaps, nail a board to a window rill. The birds are not particular about the ta ble you provide. If you are bothered too much by English Sparrows eating most of the food you can remedy the situation by making a swinging tray. The English Sparrow is suspicious of anything that teeters a bit Suspend ing the tray by a wire may do the trick. If not, try a trolly tray. The trolly trays is simply a tray attached ' by one or two pulleys to a clothes line wire. Its advantages is that you can have it run from a tree to .your window and in this way attract more birds than a window tray and still not have to go out of doors to fill the tray. Hybrid Com Is Not Ready For N. C. Use North Carolina farmers are ad vised by Dr. Gordon K. Middleton, State College agronomist, to wait a year or two before uring hybrid corn. Tests earried on for three years have shown that the hybrid corn seed im ported from other states is not well adapted to condition in this state and it is therefore necessary that adapted varieties be developed. - - ? ?-? ? ton and Dr. Paul H.
