Luckily, most of them will be wise and continue their training, but, unfor tunately, there are some who will turn a deaf ear to the counsel of age, and seek to make money at once. It is, we admit, a temptation to young men and women. To get out for one’s self and earn independent support is a rosy prospect until one has tried it for a decade or two. However, by the time the opportunity to go to school has van ished, and it is too late to wish for a better edu cation. This newspaper can do litle to persuade er rant pupils that their best job this fall and win ter is to be found in the school, but whatever little can be done along this line we want to do. We urge all who possibly can to continue through high school and college. It means mon ey later on; don’t forget it. Even if the family burden might be lifted slightly today by the addition of another worker it will be eased more in the future years .after the process of educa tion is completed. _n a______ HELP OUR TOWN PROSPER Students who expect to leave town soon for the resumpion of their studies might as well buy as much of their needs here as possible bp fore leaving. The merchants of this town deserve the sup port of our people when they offer the goods for sale at fair prices. They are the ones whose success will make possible a better community in which to live. -0O0 THE TRUTH MUST BE KNOWN Most of us have faith in the willingness of the average citizen to do the right thing when the truth is apparent but the hardest problem of today is the discovery of the truth. The task is not so much the exposition of the truth to others as it is the search for and ac ceptance of it by ourselves. Most of us are inclined to believe that we have the right side and that the other man has the wrong. The danger comes from our ready acceptance of ac cepted truth without seeking to understand the other side. -0O0 OUR PART IN WORLD PEACE The new era of world peace ,for which so much is said, can never arrive as long as the experts, or people, of one nation are ready to suspect, every time there is a disagreement. Judgment and condemnation should not follow until there is in hand ample evidence to sup port the charge. This newspaper is anxious to see the dawn of international peace. It will be a long time coming and before it comes there must exist throughout the world, on the part of all people, a willingness to be charitable towards others. As long as newspapers and experts speculate as to what other nations “intend” and insist upon being prepared for all “possibilities” the world will continue to witness armament races which will eventually bring on certain conflict. We realize the small influence of our voice and the tiny part that the people of this sec tion play in shaping world affairs. Neverthe less, in democratic countries, where the people rule ,and where foreign policies are shaped, very often by selfish politicians, in accordance with the will of the people, it is necessary that the voters be well-intentioned as well as well-in formed when questions arise with foreign pow ers. -oOo ESSENTIAL TO NATIONAL WELFARE The welfare of the United States will never be complete until the farmers of this country are secure in the possession of a standard of living that is at least on an equality with that achieved by other economic groups. There is a vast untouched reservoir of buy ing power behind such an objective and the flood of orders that industrial companies would receive when the goal ijs attained will convince laborers and capitalists that there is more to the farm parity idea than a catch-phrase to snare votes. - This newspaper is not wedded to any form of farm relief. The essential test is whether the income of faHfleSs isbfifig increased or. not, We ere for tfltf e&h$ttie that alfestajjrtjehfes this urrrtril sonfbody conie's forth with a propoei tipn Sba.t wiii .do if .. , MILLIONS FOR SPORTS The American people will enjoy the benefit of more than $100,000,000 for parks, play grounds, golf courses, baseball .fields, tennis courts and other sport projects. It is estimated that the Works Progress Ad ministration will allot that much money during the remainder of this year for the construction of such projects. Swimming pools get the great er part of the division of this money, followed by parks, and playgrounds. These are followed, although with less money, by athletip fields and golf courses. The expenditure of this money, which will provide for the athletic diversion of millions of citizens, and should improve the physical health of many Americans. Money spent like this can not be considered as having been altogether wasted. fl Washington News I For U. S. Farmers DAVIS PRAISES AAA. FUNDAMENTAL AIMS. COTTON BATTLEGROUND. EXPORT DIFFICULTIES. LAUDS FARMERS’ TARIFF. It is a good thing for farmers to keep in mind the real purpose of the AAA, which is not short crops or large crops, but an increased income to the farmers of the United States. Mr. Chester C. Davis, Adminisrator of the AAA, delivered a speech last week at Stone ville, Miss., addressed to cotton growers and discussing the problems of the staple, but illus trating the farm program as it applies to other basic crops. Because the opposition is concentrating upon the cotton program, attacking the processing tax and assailing the loss of foreign markets, it is interesting to read Mr. Davis’ rejoinder, Briefly, we recount the salient points of his argument. Two fundamentals are involved: (1) a sus tained fair income to the producer and (2) con servation of soil fertility, one of the nation’s most vital resources. Tne basic principle, bold ly inscribed in the Adjustment Act, is “that American farmers are entitled to enjoy from their labor a living standard comparable to that enjoyed by other producing elements of society.” Consequently, the price of a bale of cotton (or other farm product) is not to be its value to the export trade but its value to the man who pro duces it; not what it is worth o a Brazilian peon, a Sudanese sheik or a Chinese coolie. rneretore cotton exports must ne studied in the light of a sustained income for producers and while important are not worth the sacrifice af the two fundamentals. If necessary loss of exports is to be preferred to a price that means starvation to producers and robbery of the soil. While it is shocking to think of putting cotton on a domestic basis, thus throwing families on to government care, farmers must remember that “with the aid of various controls over pro duction which corporate industry exercised, non agricultural employers cut down production and maintained price levels to the extent that mil lions of people were poured out of factories and onto government aid.” Mr. Davis points ou that the agricutural pro gram came into being when prices for farm products had gone into a tailspin, farm buying power had collapsed, factories were idle, banks were in a panic and people dismayed. The policy of raising prices was adopted with full know ledge that there would be some toes trod upon and that owners would make an outcry. The clamor of textile and flour millers, packers and other processors, accustomed to buying cheap raw materials, was anticipated. Much argument, says Mr. Davis, is given o the loss of export trade, which is blamed upon higher prices of American cotton, as there al ways has been plenty of cotton. Foreign na tions, it is said, are substituting cheaper grow ths, but Mr. Davis points out that we had diffi culties in keeping up exports long before the Triple A, and they touched many commodities. He cites these barriers—tariffs, embargoes and quotas. Getting down to cotton the speaker says that in 1926, “our biggest cotton export year,” the December 1 average price was 12 1-2 cents a pound. In 1932, with average price of 6 1-2 cents, our exports were two million bales less, representatives from Germany ,our largest cot ton customer for years, have been pleading for our cotton but they “didn’t argue price.” They said they “have no exchange to pay us for cot ton unless they can sell us something in return.” Down to figures: In 1934-35 our sales of cot ton to Germany dropped enough to account for 35 per cent of our total decreased exports. Egypt and India also had decreases but Brazil, says Mr. Davis gives the answer. True enough, Bra zil sold cotton but “we find that Germany bought Brazil’s cotton because special arrangements with Brazil and Germany made it possible for Germany to pay for that cotton with goods she shipped to Brazil.” Concluding, Mr. Davis said: “Unless this country wishes to face permanent injury to its cotton export trade it must face the fundamen tal fact that we cannot sell unless we buy. The critics can’t go on telling the farmers that they should junk their control programs, maintain tariff protection for industrialists and resume permanently their production at starvation prices for export markets that are gone. But if the growers are as smart as I think they are, they wil not listen to them. When this nation wants to abolish the tariff system which impedes export trade, then the fanners will talk about •discarding their adjustment programs, But un less I miss my guess, not before.” -0O0 Secret operative number reports that in & community ten miles from fjovifti therte is a man who is still the blaster of hie household.

P'^jURELY ERSONAL IFFLE Wanted: an English Bull pup with an underslung lip, le thargic expression, bowed un derpinnings, a face resembling] that of Jack Sharkey’s, and the motions of Mae West.

Would prefer that innate breeding produce such an an*" mal as would repel fleas, keep decently silent at night, leave cats to their own meowings, come when called, and be ac comodating enough to recognize the fore-warn of bill-collectors, encyclopedia salesladies, Mae j West jokes, soda-straw blondes, I breakfast, soft-shelled crabs, and fried oysters. He must be a woman-hater. —pPp— Something slid before the window and bowed and scrap ed. It wore a pale blue shirt, red suspenders, and green, peg leg trousers. Closer examina tion revealed it was barefoot ed, and the thin chocolate of the feet blended with the green trousers. Then it traipsed dain tily on down the street with a swift and easy motion remind ing one of a guinea. He’s someone’s colored cook. —pPp— Many State papers have car ried comments upon Will Rog ers’ interest in North Carolina. It seems that every story thus i far has omitted an incident which we consider was of sig nal import. A couple of years ago the humorist was flying about South America, and of course, wired in his remarks each day. On one occasion he devoted ms section to a letter from some children in a North Carolina school who told him they were studying thejr geo graphy in conjunction with his travels. Perhaps he was run ning short of material that day, and then again, he may have been intentionally offering a boon to teachers and pupils having a terriffic struggle with the structure of the earth and a knowledgeable understanding of its peoples and products. Nevertheless, North Carolina got some darned good free pub licity. —pPp— Of the men thus far who have announced for the gover norship of North Carolina, one is a Colonel, another a Doctor who sports a mustache, anoth er has a craniul covering as would befit Samson, and the head of another has prompted a nickname associated with the Scotch. If the next executive will be judged by title or hir suteness it would appear that McDonald’s chances are doub led, for he claims both. —pPp— ODE TO MY WASH-WOMAN Ah!
