People who owe no bills rarely know that the first of the month has arrived. Drive carefully, even if you don't care about yourself; let other people live.

People who live in Farmville ought to be interested in the development of their home town. All laws should be enforced, or re pealed; there is no excuse for wink ing at the violation of any statute. Advertising, brother, is a good stimulant if you take it wisely; like everything else it can be abused and overdone. The trouble with the book publish ing business is that there are too many people in the United States who "have a book." Anonymous communications are not published in The Enterprise; If you send in anything sign your name, even if you do not want your name printed. Nobody gets mad with a parent who thinks that his offspring is a wonderful specimen; why get mad with people who think their race is the greatest in the world? Personally, it is our idea that young people today are more promising than the young people of a generation ago, regardless of the crticism heaped upon them by the sour posses. Tolerance means permitting other people to decide, for themselves, what is right and what is wrong, with the provison that they must not in jure others or interfere with their similar privileges. - Italy has no idea that France will fight over African territory; Ger many has no idea that Great Britain will fight over colonies; Japan has the idea that the United States will not fight over anything. The strange part of it all is that the aggressive nations may be right. NATIONS ARE FOR 'DEFENSE" Prime Minister Chamberlain, oi Great Britain, during' the debate in the House of Commor m the arms program, called attention to the ex penditure of nearly 600,000,000 pounds in a single year and declared, "Our armaments, vast as they are, are armaments for defense and de fense alone." Mr. Chamberlain said that if it be true that other nations have no more intention of aggression than the Brit ish, the conclusion must be that, "we are all piling up these ruinous arma ments under a misunderstanding." He added that he was much in clined to believe that there is a great deal of truth in the belief and that while he could not relax British arm ament, he felt it the duty of the gov ernment to watch for every opportu nity "to try to persuade other govern ments of the folly of the couse we are all pursuing and to induce them to pot an end to a situation which, if it is persisted in, must bring bankrupt cy to every country in Europe." IS IT "FAVORABLE" BALANCE? The United States has bean blessed with a "favorable" trade balance for so many years that we now possess ?. ?? tv. _u As t mah the wet of the world has difficulty in buying the products that we would fflce to selL Few n* a result we find them artificially re >SWlsh gold to uphold their curren ts? , .j-.v.-v ?; ^y^g^lnrd yIM1 ble thing to do. Certainly, it would | be profitable to accept more im ports than we now receive although it might not prove beneficial, in the long run, to accept imports that might strangle our own industries. c Just where to draw the line is ? problematical. There are many in- i terests to be considered. At the same ( time, as a creditor nation, we must t comprehend the necessity of buying 1 from those to whom we sell. We ? must realize, as never before, that profitable trade is a two-way street, s not a one-way boulevard. - s r WALSTONBURG I j NEWS < Mr. Ray West, Sr., was a Golds- J boroo business visitr Tuesday.
