Entered as Second Class Matter January 19, 1923, at the Postoffice at Wallace, Noorth Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Thursday, June 18, 1936 K “During the campaign we used advertising jsin the various county papers as the chief means of reaching the people. The results speak for themselves.”—George Ross Pou. Everyone favors a tax that somebody else pays. Many a man is poor because his credit was too good. Religion is the force which put the “kin” in mankind. Farmers don’t need advice as much as they Deed organization. The only trouble about taking a vacation is that you have to come back to work. The person who moves around the fastest is not necessarily doing the most work. A BOON TO EDITORS Every now and then a citizen comes to the editor of this paper with an article that he wants us to run for the “good of the commun ity”. We are beset with these requests every day. New, strange to say, whether we run the prof fered article or not, we appreciate the attitude of the contributor, and would have him repeat the dose whenever he thinks he has something worth printing. The editor doesn’t know it all. There are undoubtedly many others who could do his work better. He realizes this, and yet, being the editor, he must exercise his feeble judg ment in these matters. Contributors who cheerfully accept this judgment are a boon to editors and we are glad to report that there are some of them in this community. IT’S THE LAW, ANYWAY! There is little use for the average citizen to attempt to understand the theories of law by which the United States Supreme Court has decided (1) that the Federal government can not pass a law fixing a fair wage for women and (2) that the States themselves cannot pass a law fixing a fair wage for women. It is enough to realize, as the law is now declared, that no government can pass a law fixing a fair wage for women, and to have the general idea that under the present interpre tation there are other areas of activity in which neither the power of the States nor that of the Federal government is effective. Whether one agrees with the majority opin ions of the high court or not, nothing is to be gained by denouncing the justices. The next step is to see that either the States, or the Fed erol government, be given the necessary pow er to rule in the twilight zones that now exist without law. END OF SCHOOL MEANS BEGINNING Schools all over the United States have re cently ended their sessions. Every county, in cluding our county, is sending forth from school scores of young men and women, many of whom have received their last formal scho lastic training. To the graduates of the schools in this coun ty who will continue their studies in college the closing of school is not as important an event in life as to the larger number who will begin to work, leaving behind them the organ ized paths to knowledge. It is Important, however, as we see it, ■1 graduates, who have no pends upon going to college. There is no rea son for them to believe that their “learning’ days are over. Some of the best educated men and women that we have ever met were those who wen1 to no college, and many even missed a higt school. Besides, we must remember, that a stu dent only gets out of school a measure of whal the student’s character contributes. This be ing so, and no one disputes it, the non-college man or women, busy through life can continue t«> acquire intelligent aids to full living by maintaining an acquisitive and investigatin mind. Let us all realize more fully than ever, that we know very little. While mankind has made wonderful progress along the path of human intelligence the field of wisdom has been bare ly scratched and many things remain to be un folded to the human intellect. Let us always continue to pursue the truth. Washington News For U. S. Farmers WALLACE’S OPTIMISM PEEK’S FARM VIEWS RURAL ELECTRIFICATION The Secretary of Agriculture, not too optim istic as a rule about the probable success of any farm program, speculated publicly a few weeks ago on the prospects of failure of the Soil Conservation Program. The other day, however, Mr. Wallace announced his convic tion that only a European war can prevent re storation of economic prosperity in this coun try and throughout the world. On the basis of present trends in domestic and foreign trade, he foresaw a prosperity wave of such proportions as to make unneces sary further attempts at Federal control of production in agriculture. This opinion was tempered somewhat by an emphasis upon the decisive influence of “unusually favorable weather” upon production. Present prospects are not for “unusually favorable weather” this season and bumper crops which would upset agricultural prices are not expected. While Mr. Wallace gave no reason for his change in views, newspapers report that Am erican automobile executives, returning from Europe, say that industry is speeding up in al most every country. In our own country, in dices for May show a strong upward movement. Last week, in this column, we summarized the views of Chester C. Davis, former AAA Administrator, but recently appointed to the Federal Reserve Board. Mr. Davis considers the reciprocal trade agreement program as the best instrument to pare down foreign trade barriers in the interest of the farmers. Among those opposed to the process is George N. Peek, former AAA Administrator, who has turned against the New Deal and its works. Mr. Peek was in Cleveland last week advising the Repub licans as to their farm program. He has been touring the Farm Belt, telling the farmers that the trade program is letting a flood of foreign agricultural products into this country. He is firm in advocating a system of direct barter with individual nations and the elimination of the most-favored-nation principle in tariff mat ters. Mr. 'Peek has been interested in the farm re lief movement for a number of years. He ad vocates the imposition of tariffs and other re strictions on farm imports, continuation of benefit payments to farmers on the domestical ly consumed portion of their crops, and the use of Federal funds to subsidize exports to foreign countries at whatever price they might bring abroad. Mr. Peek urges that steps be taken “looking to the early stabilization of our cur rency for domestic transactions”, with the me thod to be determined “by requirements of a reasonably balanced domestic price level”. He is for the continuous management of our cur rency for external transactions and the super vision of the flow of capital in and out of this country. He would put an end to the unconditional most-favored-nation treatment, grant tariff concessions to individual foreign countries on ly when the same countries grant concessions to us in exchange. It will probably surprise some readers, even in the face of publicity given rural electrifi cation recently, to read that nearly ninety per cent of American farms are now being served by central stations. By comparison, nearly ev ery home in Switzerland has electric services, the same is practically true of France and Bel gium.

Cardwell Agricultural & Industrial Agt., A. C. L. Railroad Co. This is the second article in the series continuing informa tion from the salute to the “Wonder Bean” article in Con sumers’ Guide, April 20, 1936. A New England clipper back from trading along the China coast-, brought the first soy beans to this country. That was in 1804. Then they were a bo tanical curiosity, and fashion able houses grew the beans in their gardens. From gardens to a national crop has taken ov er a century and a quarter. Union soldiers in the Civil War, lacking many of the more common foods, were given soy bean “coffee”, but aside from that brief emergence into the front lines, nothing much was heard of soybeans from their arrival in this country until in 1890 when the Government be gan experimenting with them. These early Government exper iments showed soybeans were a fine soil builder when plowed under, and are fine forage for livestock. Farmers were urged to plant more for these pur poses. Another War, in 1915, en couraged explorations into the use of soybean oil. A shortage 'of cottonseed in the South co icided with a surplus of soy bean seed in North Carolina. Mills dependent on cottonseed oil turned to soybeans for some of their supplies. War condi-1 tions which forced large eX jorts of meat and boosted food prices provoked some more re searches by the Department of Agriculture into new cheap sources of protein for human! 'Consumption. ! .Slowly and gradually over the years, soybeans have won It’’.rough to their present recog nition as a valuable aid to good farming, a commercially worth while crop, a useful human food, and a source of raw ma terials for industry. To State I experiment stations, together' with experts of the Department of Agriculture, must go most of the credit. i Protective foods, modern nu tritionists have drilled into Occidental minds, are a neces sary part of any diet if bodies ' are to attain their greatest' growth and maintain their max imum strength. Daily calory requirements of the average American are around 3,000. At least half of these needed 3,000, calories, according to one emin-, ent authority, should be provid-j ed by protective foods. Western world consumers j know fruits, vegetables, eggs, I and dairy products are the pro- j /tective foods par excellence.' Soybeans now come to claim' rank with these foods because] they are rich in high quality protein, rioh in minerals, and rich in vitamins. Often they; have the additional virtue of j being cheaper sources of some! of these food values which or dinarily come high* Without benefit of modern nutritional knowledge, millions of consumers in the Far East,] forced by economic necessity to an almost exclusively vegetable] diet, have compensated for a shortage on animal foods by( the consumption of soybeans. Compensation has come in part] because soybeans furnish a protein equal in quality t-o that found in meat, milk, and eggs, j Definition Enthusiasm — Another name for hysteria.—Lucifer’s Lexi con. Where’s The War? If we believe each nation’s' reports of its own casualties, there never has. been any Italo-1 Ethiopian war.—Life. Looking at Washington » — - — Naturally the eyes of those! interested in political events ( are turned this week to Cleve land where Republican del egates start the initial advance of the presidential campaign. As the convention got under way it seemed apparent that Governor Landon, of Kansas would be the nominee and that, despite suggestions of a Dem-| ocrat as his running mate, a Republican would complete the national ticket. The Republican platform will be studied throughout the na tion in order to ascertain just j exactly v/hot the party intends to do, if it wins the election. The voters will look for positive statements to indicate where, the New Deal is condemned and [ what legislation the Republi cans will sponsor if they take control of the nation next Jan-j uary. Of course, the Demo crats will retain control of the! Senate regardless of any pos sible landslide, but the Repub licans have an opportunity -to capture the House as well as the Presidency.
