1 ^ -f ■ Vi POOLE'S MEDLEY By D. SCXWT POOLE “Be An American First.”—Head line. An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were condoling to gether. The Englishman* said if he were not an Englishman^ he would rather be a Scotsman; the Scotsman said if he were not a Scotsman, he would rather be an Englishman. The Irishman said nothing, so the other tu'o asked him if he were not an Irishman, what would he be, and he said; ‘T would be ashamed of my self.” I hope and pray our country will escape the destruction caused by air raids, or the destruction of land battles also. It will take centuries to rebuild the European countries. The ground is pitted full of shell holes, and the buildings centuries old (they tried to destroy all the churches in Britain) and many are now homeless. When the Allies were driving Germany across France and Belgium in 1918, any time the sol diers rested between battles they ‘dug in.” That means they dug trenches, and invariably they cut through human bodies. You recall the battles surged back and forth over Belgium and France four times between 1914 and 1918. State CoUege Hints For Farm Homemakers It would seem to the ignorant everyday man at work in a Victory Garden that not enough help is be ing sent to the Chinese; however, the Chinese soldiers are battling for existance. I know a country can be defended at a less cost than it can be retaken after the Japs get possession. Those Australians and Americans over there are giving the Japs all they need, while they can find them. The Japs have so many islands to hide behind, and they know those islands, they continue giving their enemies trouble. I look for them to develop pirate gangs. The seas used to be infested with Blackboards and such. I tried to say something of the cost of World War I in this column last week, but it was not plainly stated. It cost $400,000,000,000 (four hundred billion dollars), the lives of fifteen million soldiers, and about an equal number of civilians, women, children and old men, killed and died from starvation and under nourish ment. We are not in position to esti mate costs, but the cost will run higher this time. “Sin has a thousand treacherous arts, to practice on the mind.” And, it is showing up in treach ery. 'Those German occupied coun tries in Europe are all the result of treachery on the part of their citi zens, who were desirous of gain. President Roosevelt has planned for 300,000 airplanes, and 75,000 tanks, and of ships all that we can build. It all proves how wicked and fool ish fighting is. Men always have fought occasionally, and have learn ed no sense yet. The Japanese were said to have no money, and for that reason could not fight long, nor could they have very much to fight with. That country has fooled the world very badly. But your Uncle Sam will fool Japan before this is over. We read that “boll weevil infes- tatian will be bad this year.” It is every year—^since 1920. I was at the Presbyterian General Assembly in St Louis, Mo., in May, 1921, and those cotton growers from the south told me: “If the seasons are dry, you may expect pretty fair crops of’ cot ton; if the seasons are wet, the boll weevil will most of it.” It’s so. It was said occasionally for some weeks that the United States and Japanese navies are coming to grips any time now. I trust much in American gunners, aind no people on earth are braver. Americans are not dying as the Japs do. Love for others prompts us, and selfishness prompts the heathen. They are heathen, but are scientifically educated. I believe eternity holds a sad disappointment for those Japs. By Ruth current State Home Demonstration Agent A hobby is valuable in war time and peace time. Did you know all great inventions have been the re sult of an avocation, a plaything dur ing rest time and away from reg ular employment? The father of photography was an army officer; of the electric motor, a bookbinder’s clerk. The inventor of the telegraph was a portrait paint er; and of the Jacquard loom, a dressmaker. A farmer tinkered up the typewriter; a poet, the sewing machine; a cabinet maker, the cotton gin; and a ,coal miner, the locomo tive. The telephone was the “after school” work of a teacher of the deaf; the disk talking machine, the night work of a clothing salesman; the wax-cylinder phonograph of a lawyer’s clerk; the typecasting ma chine, a groceryman. A physician made the first'pneu matic tire, because his little son was a wheel-chair invalid. The hand camera was invented by a bank clerk; the film roU, by a country preacher; the motion picture, by a stenographer. The steam automobile was the plaidhing of a photo-dry- plate marker; the dry-blast steel process, the brain child of a preach er’s son; the tunneling shield, of an editor; the stock ticker, a dentist. The long distance telephone loading coils were figured out by a professor of mathematics. Bicycle repairmen made the first mancarrying airplane; a soldier, the wireless telegraph; and a druggist’s clerk, the loud-speaker. Why not have a hobby—and ride it hard? tate property.

Do You Lio Awafco Nights? ILLIONS do. He worst of They said it did not pay to fight the boll weevil. In that I think they were wrong. Good farmers in Hoke county have not failed to make an average crop every year since the weevil came. The bean beetle is meaner, and costs more to kill than boll weevils, proportionately. Our beans come higher priced, unless we atart in time. My daughter had a joke on me. She said I was bragging about my ability to spell, and used two Is m excel, when one isdi.

He perhaps doesn’t know where the navy is, for the navy is defenseless unless the big bombers are there to defend it. But navy and the bombers to gether, have about put Japan’s stock of fighting ships on the bottom. One small bridge has a weight cat>acity of 25 tons, using about 2,000 individual metal pontons. The small est is used only to take troops over smaller streams. But whether our army uses the smaller or largest ponton, our engineers need plenty of them. If you and every American invests at least 10 per cent of income in War Bonds every pay day we can supply our fighting forces with these •"oontials to a victorious war. n42-“N' FOLKS” VACfllON -1942 Professional Cards The American people are patriotic, but they love gains too well. I notice orchardists, and other business peo ple joining in the cry “Defense.” Plant their seeds and shrubs and plants of every kind, and save the nation. In time of the World War I, I had the thought of everybody do ing all they could for as little as they could—make sacrifices—give un til it hurt. And, after it was over, I found all of them had been looking out for No. 1. The man who left his young wife and first baby back in the BO’s, and drew $11 per month in Confedterate money, while his wife toiled as a slave cultivating a none too rich soil, carded cotton or wool at nightj spun it into thread, wove that thread into cloth and made it into garments for herself, her babe and her husband, waited on her own sick, and her sick nei^ibors, while thieves stole sottie of her earnings, knew the hor rors of war. When this tragic war has ended, there will of necessity be sure enough hard times, for so much essential to life in the way of food, clothing, and transportation on air, sea and land, it will take years to replenish the things we have been educated to think we are obliged to have. And, the waste of liquor manufacturing should be stopped first thing—NOW. ARTHUR D. GORE Attorney and Counsellor at Latv Bank of Raeford Building N. McN. SMITH Attorney-at-Law G. G.
