C., un ' der act of March 3rd, 1878. Democracy costs money ? there is no doubt of that! The second best navy is too small for the United States. Publicity is easy to get if the get ter doesn't care what kind it is. Look out for trouble in Europe al most any month this year. Any schemer can give you a hun dred ways of making a fortune. The glib talkers are the boys who put the "men" in investment. Human beings apparently often forget that they are supposed to be "human." Not every time a statesman speaks can you understand what he has in mind. Rivalry between towns is foolish. Cooperation would be more profitable to all concerned. The wife who tries to regulate her husband's business usually has her time well taken up. It seems that people will go on throwing kerosene on fires, knowing that kerosene will explode. The successful merchant passes through three states; (1) Advertising (2) Selling, (3) Retiring. When a committee decides to raise a sum of money, there is little time lost in preparing the "sucker" list. It is a good idea to go to church on Sundays. You may get enough religion to last you throughout the week. If smokers had all the money tHey spent for tobacco in 1938, they would probably spend it for tobacco in 1939. Isnt it peculiar that hard times stop few automobiles; the owners seem to be able to always manage to buy gasoline. Pay your subscription to the En terprise during January and you can then enter February with a peaceful conscience. Don't forget to greet the stranger in Farmvilie with a pleasant smile. It wont hurt you and it may help him. DERIDES THE MUSICIAN'S TOUCH Sir James Jeans, world renowned English scientist, led with his chin the other day when de declared that go far as a single piano note is con cerned, it makes no difference whether the key is struck with an umbrella or Paderewski's finger. If there is one thing that musicians fancy it is the belief that "touch" is the key to the heavenly tones of the pianist. Much praise has been given to the melodious "touch" of the the accomplished pianist's hands and the idea has been generously cultivated the music results from certain delicacies of muscular control. We naturally hesitate to become involved in any such controversies, but when we consider the unusual ca reer of Sir Jeans, a teacher of math ematics, an expert on physics, as tronomy and cosmogny, with enough common sense to break away from the technical treatment of stars and atoms to treat them in popular terms for the layman to enjoy, we have to cast oar vote far him. SYMPATHY WITHOUT CASH _______ Practiealiy every survey of public opinion in the United States reveals that the overwhelming majority of I the people of this country sympathise with China in its contest with Japan. ^msSwhte * V"1 Ch? nfis^Mrweaer, fail to aroose the in dignation that one would aspect In tdMam for the relief of starv A LIMIT TO AIRPLANES ?t Reading about the spectacular speed of modern airplanes and the miraculous heights .to which the air* men ascend, we sometimes wonder whether there is a* limit to the de velopment of aircraft in these re spects. The answer, according to Profes sor William F. Durand, of Stamford University, is that the limit is about five hundred miles an hour and that the airplane will not be able to climb much higher than sixty thousand feet. Already, planes have gone 56, 000 feet in the air and at speeds of more than 440 miles an hour. Evidently, if the professor is right, the development of airplanes will henceforth proceed along more utilitarian lines. ARGUMENT FOR ARMAMENT The argument for increased Ameri can armament rests upon the follow ing grounds: That there are powerful nations in the world today, devoid of all sense of decency in regards to their rela tions with other powers. That regardless of the moral rights involved, these powers would ruth lessly take, by force of arms, that" which belongs to other peoples. That while these powers are not, perhaps, today ready to attack the United States, they are preparing for war upon such a scale that tomor now they may be anxious to do so in the hope of greater spoils. That no nation can wait upon the beginning of hostilities to begin to prepare for war. It requires years to secure the necessary material and equipment for modern armies and navies. Facing an uncertain future, not knowing what group of powers will be dominant in the world a few years hence, the United States, to play safe, must be prepared to defend itself against a possible combination of ruthless and unprincipled aggressors. Will Can Produce Farmers of Pasquotank, Perquim ans and adjacent counties will grow 1,000 acres of tomatoes and 200 acres of LUna beans for a cannery at Cheri ton, Virginia, this season. If the project with the beans is successful, it is expected that contracts for 10, 000 acres of this crop will be let in 1940. s Yams Sweet potato production in 1938 was slightly larger than in 1937, al though there was a shorp decrease in the Central Atlantic Coast states. Prices advanced seasonally in recent weeks. More Beef E. H. Crabtree, of Bahama, Route 1, has purchased 100 acres of his father's farm and is starting a small herd of quality beef cattle. The permanent pasture on the farm will be increased. Carl Woodard of Spring Hope, Route 1, has also se lected beef cattle for a 4-H club pro ject. y Wise men somethimes keep their mouths shut; foolish individuals broadcast their views.
