And. since the outlook \t un community is ttot dissimilar to that ot thousands ot otla prosperous1 towns which dot the nation, without the i.cccs.-itt of formal orsja nizi.'t ion we arc apt to seek the same things and want the same kind of life as the people in those other communities. For that reason, hit; business intends to come to us .with its sociu'l and legislative problem and will -.leave the - 'utiui primarily in oui hands. * TRUTH IN REVERSE The war was thrust upon tlmnany only in the sense that England and France and other nations lefused to permit Hit ler-_as he desired -to take over the nations of Europe, as he did Czechoslovakia, without resistance on their part. He was determined to briny Europe under subjection to hi “New Order" and reduce the peoples of many nations to shiv ery to the -Master Race, and would have preferred, of course, that they all surrender without a tijfl.it. That they chose to fijj'ht for freedom instead of surrendering abjectly without re sistance is the only basis of his lie that wai was thrust upon Germany. A characteristic 11 i 11 • nun lie in his New Year address was the preposterous declaration that "we know the existence of oul" Germany alone guarantees' the existence of Europe. Hit ler knows, as do the informed people of the whole world, that exactly the opposite is the truth. But perhaps the climactic lie of his latest harangue was his absurd and all-but amusing assertion that "Germany's collapse would mean tilt* end of the continent with its 2.500 years of cultural tradition, and its replacement hy barbarism." Informed people throughout the civilized world know that exactly the opposite is trite, that German victory in this wai and the defeat of the Allies would mean the end of the contin ent of Europe with its culture, tradition, and its replacement by barbarism. If Hitler and Nazi Germany could have won the war and have had theii way. it would have meant thr.. barbarian would replace the culture and civilization of all the world.— Charlotte Observer. Just to keep the record straight, North Carolina is ahead .of Georgia in arranging foi soldiers to vote. I lie 1 P-l■'! legislature of this state took appropriate action and passed the legislation that would enable soldiers absent from America to vote. Had other state legislature taken this fore-handd action, niuch of the bitter debate in Congress in recent weeks might have been avoided. Press dispatches make it appear that Georgia is the first state to take action to validate soldier votes. North Car olina is ahead by one year. ‘Now, Altogether* Tn little■ jg-uv !

Also carburetors, manifolds gov ernors, and chokes should be set for the given fuel. In making adjustments, shut otf the motor because an idling tractor cossumes large amounts of fuel. Collect lubrication re duces friction to a minimum and saves on power and fuel, Over iieating of the engine results is .oss of efficiency and also a large loss of fuel. A poor hitch creates unneces sarv draft and the pulling of a dead weight. This calls for extra power asd fuel. The brakes should be kept properly adjusted, A dragging and a real fuel hog. brake is just so much dead weight Accelerate the tractor slowly ai.d steadily. A throttle which is advanced too rapidly pours fuel ihrough the engine faster than it can be turned isto useful work, cast speed-ups throw dangerous overloads on the moving parts of the tractor and the tools which COTTON REPORTS I Government crop reports on the 1044 cotton crop will he | made on the Sth of July.

Although this budget request will be the second largest in his- : lory, all hut live billion of the amount requested will be for the | .arrying on of the war. If 95 hil doss of government expenditures! are appro Veil, estimates of gov-: eminent revenue for the coining year would mean a deficit of over -!(> billion. Added to the present deficit the total by June .’50. 19-15 would be 2,‘55 billion dollars -or almost S2.009 average debt for. every man Wo mas and child in the country. The budget for the coming year is naturally figured on the possibility that the wai 'will con tinue until the middel of 19-1:>. If the war should end before that time expenses might he decreased somewhat, although cosversion 'o peacetime may be almost as ■xponsive as carrying on the war it is also possible, however, that ev'en if the war continues expen ses may not be as great as esti mated. For during the coming year the war asd navy depart ments now estimate that they will spend I x billion less than they were allotted and there seems to he a general tendency toward a is brought about partly by the iduction of war expessrs. Ibis supnlies of some items that Pro duction of them can be curtailed. The action of the maritime com mission in closing shipyards on Sundays, in order to give workers a day of rest and at the same time reduce heavy overtime ox r.erises, is also indicative of this On the other hand, the hourly cost of labor is apt to he increa sed during- the coniine- year as a M result of the government having ™ i greed to give coal miners a raise plus the more recent action I fy congress to increase the wa ges of railroad workers. W ith these two groups of workers having circumvented the “Little Steel’’ formula which was set up to put a ceiling on wages, there is ev’erv reason to expect all powerful labor groups to seel; similar increases. If wages continue to he in II eased, the danger of inflation ary prices will become much greater and black markets un doubtedly will he encouraged. Enforcement ol OI’A ceiling pi ices is becoming increasingly difficult and. as consumer goods become scarcer and incomes lai ger the price situation may get out of hand. .James F. Byrnes, director of war mobilization, who has been leading the administration light against inflation, considers the present situation as a “crisis on the home front” and is going di rectly to the voters in his efforts to ciith the. activities of pressure groups which arc concerned only with the welfare of theit partic ular held: Such groups from la bor industry and agriculture arc wielding a great influence over a Vote-conscious congress and, >1 ad git the things they are seek in..-, there is little question hut that prices v ill start skvi ticketing 1 There is some indicision here as to how the new draft bill, mal ing it mandatory to take till .;n„i(> ~;nd married men without children before taking fathers, will work out. but it s-tns ItkelV -'-a. a corn-lute combing of in ilu-trv wav he cer'ied on to draft those who are under and ex empted hec.-nse thev arc in es -eniit'l industry.
