SCOTT POOI^E President Truman says people are wastiiig food, and eat too much. We have heard both before. But that does not atone for the extortionate prices people have to pay for a good many things they have to buy daily. Every human being seems to think they are better off Wtien they get higher prices for what they sell.^ The greatest trouble a- rises from the thought that they are better off when they get more' money even for today. I used to comment on the fact that anything sold under mortgage did not bring more than the mort gaged indebtness, just the debt anr^ the cost of foreclosure. To love your neighbor as your self would bring about better times than anything else, for such good neighborliness would result. Folks are talking about the government buying forty-five mil lion dozen eggs, and putting them on cold storage to bring about higher price for eggs. The gov ernments buys potatoes and ap ples, too, and hauls them out and dumps them to cause prices to 'be higher. AU this high price business came about from the idea that 'money is worth more than any thing else. When there As more than enough for* present needs we now have ways of saving every thing we need, and it should be stored, not marketed. thing. It ought to be so dealers could prosper equally well when they took barter for goods in place pf money; anything to stop spet^lation. 'Farmers should plant wheat this fall to^make 'bread to feed the hungry people the ^ country over. Prices will hardly fall with in the year. ^ The'whole world Is short on food. They have not gone to work after this last war like they did after World War I. Plant good wheat acreage. . There should be money avail able so a farmer could hold any croip he produces until the prices reach cost and a small profit. 'Folks used to put their idle money in U. S. bonds and g€t 4 per cent intereft but at this time they only get 2 1|4 per cent. The government "is'not dealing fairly with the people who furnished the money to meet the expenses of winning the last World War. Kiwanians Hear Scouters Group; Elect Officers At last Thursday night’s meet ing of the Raeford Kiwanis club Hinton McPhaul, the club’s sec retary and member of the West ern district Boy Scout committee, was in charge of the program. • McPhaul had as his guests the Scout Executive of the Cape Fear Area Council and his assis tant, both professional boy scout workers. Also present were the other members' otf the western district committee. The program consisted of a short talk by each one of the “Scouters,” as these men who work with scouts are called. Each, in his talk, described his duties in the movement and pointed out ways that all could assist in making scouting mean more. The Raeford Kiwanis clulb has sponsored and financed the troop of Boy Scouts in Raeford since it was organized in 1930. Prior to the program the club held its annual election of offi cers and directors. Officers e- lected were Lewis Upchurch, president, and Robert Gatlin, vice president. Hinton McPhaul is the club’s secretary-treasurer. PUYS WAGRAM W RED SPRINGS FRIDAY p. M.

Money in the country is one thing that has helped make our country great. A man without cash can go a- head and, do business. He has a better opportunity of being hon est and helpful to himself and to his friends. Money is to the body pblitit what blood .is to the human body; (Contin\med on Page 4) good behavior for two years for violating the prohibition laws. 0 LICENSE EXAMINER CHANGES DAYS HERE Walter Yow, driver’s license examiner who is at the court house every week, announced this week that he will be here on Thursday and Friday ^ next week and thereafter instead of Wednesday and Thursday as here tofore. 0 1- EPHESUS INGATHERING The annual ingathering will be held at Ephesus Baptist church Arabia on Friday, October 10..

Massey Hill 6, Hoke High 0 ’Those who saw the game in Fayetteville last Friday night saw a game much like the one last year when Massey Hill defeated Raeford 6-0 here on the Armory park gridiron. The teams were evenly match ed, witii Massey Hill holding a slight edge on ground offense and Hoke High being superior m the air. Game captains ware Freeman and Lee for Hoke High and Per son and Morr*a»ff 5’for Ma Massey Hill won the toss and Blanton took Moses’ kickoff and ran it to the Massey Hill 28 yard stripe where they began a march which drove to the Hoke High 15 yard line where the Hoke team took the ball on downs. Hoke High threatened in the first quar ter but had a bit' of bard luck. Moses broke through the Massey Hill line and got in the clear but stumbled about midfield. The ' secpnd ^ quarter was play ed on even terms' and the first half eirded in a scoreless tie. In the third quarter Massey Hill started a sustained drive which resulted in the only score of the game. In the final quarter a Rae ford threat was set up by succ essful passes from Moses to Gul- ledge which put the Hoke boys, on the - M^tssey Hill six with a first down. The Massey Hill line held, however, and the threat was over. The starting team , for Hoke High was MacDonald, Clark, Ji Sinclair, N. Sinclair, Alexander, Freeman.
