All Legal advs. 5c a line per week Published weekly and entered as Second Class Mail Matter at the Postoffice at Farmville, N. &, un der act of March 3rd, 1878. | j No law against stealing bothers, honest citizens. Advertising, to bring results, must be advertising. There are some who think a joke must be bad to be good. Mixed-up babies are bad enough, but mixed-up parents are worse. - Few peoople like "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." ~ | System is a fine thing in business even if it is a system to avoid a sys tem. One thing about Herr Hitler?he knows what he wants and how he ex pects to get it. North Carolina has a wonderful climate, but so claim the people of every other State. The presumption of war is a dan gerous attitude on the part of some public officials. When, you pay your taxes do you ever stop to think what you are con tributing to? Forward-looking families are now planning to spend Pa's money on a vacation trip. One trouble about being on time for an appointment is that the other per son is late. Home may be the castle of man but some enter their castles very cautious ly and quietly. Maybe, the world isn't going to the dogs after all; the -big leagues are almost ready to play ball. Farmville is your town don't fuss over it unless you have done your part to make it better. If you want to find out what nice people there are in the world, read the marriage write-ups. Few people are flattered when you tell them where and how they mis played a hand of bridge. If dodging work was paying busi ness, there would be a number of millionaires in Pitt County. Have you ever noticed how much talking some people can do about trifling affairs? The man who learns to carry out instructions will some day be the man who gives them.. The best way to educate the chil dren properly is to begin on the par ents when they are young. j If you state a thing loudly enough, and long enough, somebody will be lieve it. Even the smartest individual has much to learn and the smarter they get the better they know it. v .? ? A young man of exceptional abili ty may be a failure unless he knows how to avoid "good excuses." There are sews that we could pub lish every week but a sense of Chris tian charity restrains us.> Some people like pickles sour and some like 'em sweet but there is no reason for them to fight about it Every mag; in Farmviile ought to buy a new hat every once in a while whether he has lost the old one or not There is much confusion over the right of free speech; it does not guar antee anybody the right to speak any _ Moat speakers would think clearer M they were sure that somebody in the audience would ask a few qces mOQ8? ' Viy.-'j " * - I 1*?' '" >? : than ^uiy other invention except the *-i tri. Or?? SHOULD A WIFE WORK? A bill, recently introduced in the legislation of Illinois, ?would prohibit employment in any gainful occupa tion of any woman whose husband had an income of $1,500 or more [ yearly. This is what we consider a danger ous measure. It might possibly be declared unconstitutional, if passed, as an infringement on the rights of women, but, if not, should be killed anyway. ' While the question is open to seri ! ous differences of opinion we do not i think that any law should prohibit aj woman from having the right to work if she desires to work. That her hus band has a job has nothing to do with her rights. CHILD HEALTH DAY The President of the United States h&s proclaimed May 1st as "Child Health Day," calling upon citizens of every community to consider best methods of promoting health among children. Certainly the people of Pitt County are interested in child health. In a generaal sort of way, we think it a desirable end and give.it our perfunc tory approval. As far as the parents are concerned they are quick to look after the health of their own and make many sacrifices that their offspring may enjoy sound health. However, what is our attitude toward the problem of bringing good health to every boy and girl who lives in Pitt County? This is another proposition! It in volves expenses that have to be paid very often by men and women whose children do not directly benefit from the money they must contribute. It is a sad commentary upon the selfishness of our generation that men and women can look cold statis tics in the face, realizing that they tell a story of juvenile suffering and death, without a resolve to do some thing about it NO FIGHTING OVER TWO ISLANDS! Readers may recall that a year or so ago the United States and Great Britain exchanged notes about the ownership of a pair of tiny islands in the Central Pacific, which had be come important with the development of aviation. Each nation claimed sovereignty over Canton and Enderhury islands. Such a dispute, in some circumstan ces, might caused bad feeling, or even strife. Luckily, however, the United States and Great Britain are anxious to live peaceably and have no desire to go to war over islands half way between Hawaii and Australia. As expected, they have worked out an agreement for the joint control of the isles, so important to aviation, and both countries "will share control with equal rights accorded the citi zens of each. This is an illustration of how two nations ought to get along. It is worth noting that neither country is the loser by the agreement. FARMERS SUPPORT BUSINESS We have never been able to un derstand the motive that inspires some business men to constantly criticize the farmers. If these business men are half as smart as they are supposed to be, they know that the fortune of their enterprise depends upon the ability of farmers to buy their goods. A large part of the population of the United States derives its living from agriculture. In some sections the welfare of the area depends al most entirely upon the cash income of the fanners in the surrounding territory. In other sections the de pendence is less direct, because of the presence of industry, just the same, when the agricultural people stop buying the wheels of many in dustris come to a stop. We believe there is a general opin ion that national policies, in the past, have not aided agriculture, or given to the farmer a fair share of the national income. The tariff that pro tects industry is, to some extent, a tax upon agriculture. So long as it exists, the farmers are entitled to an off-set, whether it be in the form of conservation payments, crop subsid ies, crop loans or cash payments. There are many keen business men who appreciate fully the inter dependence of agriculture and indus try. There are local business lead ers who understand that the success of thpir business year depends upon crop income, just is the farmers' suc cess depends upon it These men are ? ? '- '-""'-IT.' :'i -..V- ?> 4 giving themselves greater concern with the problems of agriculture and lending their assistance to many un dertakings that are designed to sta bilize farming throughout the na tion. WHO KNOWS ? 1. Who is Grover Cleveland Berg doll? 2. How efficient is the Russian arm ? 3. How many people in the U. S. die from cancer every year? 4. Is Congress likely to approve the Townsend old- age, pension^plan ? 5. What is the average earning of U. S. Workers? 6. Who is the "White House spokesman?" 7. What will a translantic air ser vice cost? 8. What is a legislative "rider"? 9. Is Germany economically stronger today than in 1914? 10. Have Italian troops left Spain? (See "The Answers" on Page 4) Apparently there isn'fany solution i to the taxation problem except to pay them. A REAL FAN Frankfurt, Ind. ? William Sibbia, 86-year-old farmer, is a real basket ball fan. Recently, while witnessing an exciting high school game, he fell off his seat and didn't discover until the game was over that the fall had fractured one of hia legs. > - Breath Bad/ Logy 'J You May Need This Just as the lighthouse flashes a friendly warning to sailors, so Nature sends out headaches, bad breath, biliousness, which often warn of constipation. Too many misunderstand or neglect those symptoms and thereby may invite a host of constipation's oth er discomforts: sour stomach, belch ing, loss ofappetite or energy. Be wise. Take spicy, all vegetable BLACK-DRAUGHT -tonight by - simple directions and dear your ; bowels gently, promptly, thoroughly. This intestinal tonic-laxative helps give tone to lazy bowels. ? Its long life and popularity testify to BLACK-DRAUGHT'S merit. ^ ? CHURCHES r * * ?' SUNDAY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Buford B. Fordham, Pastor. 9:45 A. M.?Sunday School. G. W.
