MiGBTWO. THUilSDAY. MAY lift, tMZ. rOOLE’S MEDLEY Bf D. Sfxm POOLE The Government is ceiling, to pre- Vmt too high iMTices, and I believe 4181 is 'Wise. If the govemn^ent does spme flooring to prevent prices going too low may become necessary. After this war is over, it is more toan pliable times will grow very hard, because of public indebtedness, and hi^ taxes to liquidate that in- debtehie3s. If the government can i provide for death, it should also pro vide for yfe. 1 think it' can. To illustrate: A man by his own labor produces say two bales of cot ton, 100 bushels of com, peas, pota toes, hay and next year’s meat sup ply. ffis. cotton is his only money cotton cnqa, and if that sells for 10 cents a pound, he will come out in ■ debt, for his debt is $125 for things he could not produce; sugar, coffee lertiliza-s.' If his cotton sells for 20 cents per pound he has $75 after his debts have all been paid. It is an undisputec fact, the only way this country can avoid panics is reasonable inflation In 1919 President Wilson said “we must return to normalcy, just follow ing the creation of a public indebted ness created imder the greatest in flation this country had ever known. The old World will need something (nore than those folks are going to have to eat by next year, and Ameri ca is the only part of the World that can produce the needed supplies; and, too high prices are as ruinous as too low. Prices should be stabilized, so the people who grow food crops should not live by guess. . loke county subject to the will of the voters in the primary of May 30, 1942 W. R. BARRINGTON Rough talk betokens unreflnement. Well bred people do not use profane nor 4)scene language. You see in the papers and magazines you read ^and the modem books are even worse—slanguage your mother whipp ed you for using. Mine did. I was quoting a preacher, but the other boys told mother I “cussed them out.' Profanity is biting the Devil’s naked hook. HERE, TOO, IS A CORREGIDOR In 1920 the supposedly wise men of this country ordered the Reserve Banks to call in their loans, and this resulted in a deflation that cost the country fourteen billion dollars shrinkage in values, so all gained by inflation, which needed ceiling, as is being enforced now. There should be inflation of currency sufficient to transact the business of the country. Inflations are necessary because money will hide, ahd will never come . into circulation again. A poor man, who did without many things he would have enjoyed—so would his wife and daughter—told me he had $400 in gold buried at the root of a certain blackgum, in a swamp, and that no man should ever have his hard earned money. I told him I would go dig it up and give it to .some body, or use it in some way to enjoy it. He said, “No, that money will stay right there.” Foolish man. There was a woman who lived 8 miles south of our old farm home who had 30 head of cattle. She man aged to keep a few calves up in the daytime, milked some three or four cows, 'the calves pastured at night, but several of her cows died eadi •winter. She -went barrfoot in winter, carrying shucks begged from her nei^bors to feed cows that were of no real benefit to her. She did this for years—till she died. The right way to live is to get all the enjoyment out of life possible, by getting all possible out of all you can get honestly, and make everybody happy you can by even the smallest of gifts—cup of cold water—a small, kindness—any little thing that you can do and as often as you have the opportunity. “Oh the good we all may do, while tiie days are going by.” “We are only remembered by what we have dcqje.” The bgttle the Japs have brought in their plans to capture Australia, storted last'We^sday, May 6th. If yeporis by Americans can be belived, and tl^ can, the Japs are getting what they mi^t expect They are dfiveq back. It came out in the trial of those men iiii^ted and convicted of embez- zleqj^t of staite funds, that they gave “liquor” parties. Legislators told me they met nearly every night, and drank liquor and played “poker.” I was a member of three sessions of the Legislatiu-e between 1925 and 1929, and I never saw one drop of liquor while I •was there. And you cSn’ drink it when you can’t see it; The Allie claim a victory over the Japanese in a naval battle in the western Pacific ocean which went on most of last week. The Japs have taken r^uge in their island bases. They lost heavily in ships and men. Mother presenting the family ra tion card at the grocery store for su gar. Father counting the miles he drives on his job and wondering if he will be allowed enough more gasoline to make even his minimum rounds as a salesman. Sister pondering how her office will get through the war with its an tiquated cash register and how long she will be able to get hair curlers, mechanical pencils, kitchen knives or some of the other four hundred ar tides no longer to be made of iron or steel. Brother and his young wife sizing up the tires on their car and specu lating whether these will wear out or be; requisitioned before he, not withstanding his 3-A classification, is called to the Army. This is a representative American family today. In thousands of house holds the exactions of war have struck much nearer home—a loved oiie lost or injured, income practical ly stopped during change of employ ment or converrion of a business, ed ucation or a career interrupted to enter one of the armed services, hours takefl from nursery and fireside to attend first-aid classes, tie up bun dles for Britain, or herd people off the street in practice blackouts. And yet America has scarcely been touched. For her the fires of war have only begun to bum. For most, sacrifice is still a word rather than an experience. Inconvenience or annoyance—these are all the war has cost a majority of Americans thus far. But a higher price will have to be paid for victory. Men who have stood floggings and torture in concenttntion camps can tell Americans who braved capture and an icy sea in small boats to join their comrades; Frenchwomen who imye bundl(^ tiieir children in rajgs to shiver through a coalless winter; Greek storekeepers who have seen their shelves looted while their coun trymen starved; Chinese who have watched the skies rain death for four years; Filipino boys who fought be side Americans on Bataan and at Cor- regidor^—these know the price. Now the guns on Corregidor are sileht. The little garrison there held out five months—^far longer than military men supposed possible after support and hope of reinforcement had been lost at Pearl Harbor. When MacArthur dr^ his rorces to Bataan and the forts in Manila Bay, the men and women •with him knew that the supplies they had would have to last till relief—or surrender FOR SHERIFF This is to announce that I am a candidate for the Democratic nomi nation for sheriff of Hoke county sub ject to the will of the voters in the primary Bilay 30, 1942.

The sup plies which the United States and the United Nations have must see them through this war. The rubber, tin, copper, iron and steel, sugar, gasoline, oil, coal, wool, leather, papery alumi num, and so forth must be husband ed so that there is no possibility of their running out. The supplies on hand simply have to last long enough to win. These are the fundamentals behind all the details of rationing and allocation, however well or fumblingly they may be handled, in the United States. The American who ungrumblingly rides the street car to work instead of driving his automobile, saves his newspapers for the Boy Scouts, digs up an extra toothpaste tube with tee one he turns in to buy shaving cream, puts in coal to save transportation next winter, saves a spoonful of su gar inside his quota, and makes an extra search to find tee nozzle for tee garden hose instead of hustling to buy a new one—he is helping to hold tee bdeaguered fortress teat is Amer ica. This rock must stand.—Christian Science Monitor.
