BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
THE CHIEF END OF MAN:
Lord, make me to know thine end,
and the measure of my days, what it
is; that I may know how frail I am.
Behold, thou hast made my days as
a handbreadth: and mine age is as
nothing before thee: verily every
man at his best state is altogether
vanity. Psalms 89:4-5.
TIME TO" CALL THE
LOAFER'S HAND
"You may lead a horse to water
but you s cannot make him drink."
And there are those who claim that
you may lead. a. man to a job but
you cannot make him work.
This may be true, but if there is
in Perquimans an able-bodied man or
woman who will not work now when
there is so much work to be done, it
is going to be just too bad for that
man or woman if they happen to call
for help from the relief agencies
this winter when there is no more
work on the farm to be done.
The Perquimans County farmers
need laborers. Anybody who is able
to do a day's work can get employ
ment now. The cotton fields are
white, peanuts are ready to dig, and
they must be picked, and there is
much work to be done in the harvest
ing of other crops. There is a
shortage of labor.
Recorder's Court Judge Walter H.
Oakey is making an attempt to help
the farmers of the county to get
their crops harvested. At last Tues
day's session of court he called upon
the officers to check up on those
who would not work and instructed
them to bring such into court, prom
ising that he would send to the roads
those whose names appeared on a
list be turned ever to the officers if
they refused to work.
He also called upon the farmers to
report to the officers or to himself
the names of those who had been re
ceiving relief in the past and who
refused now to take jobs offered
them, promising to turn these names
over to the relief agencies himself,
This is a step in the right direction
and a very timely one. Nobody
should receive help from the govern
ment or from individuals in time of
need who will not work when there is
so much need of labor. There are,
of course, some old folks who are
unable to work, and there are some
who are physically unfit for labor of
this type. These should be taken
care of. but the lazy loafer should
be made to work.
WHAT OTHER
EDITORS SAY
BEWARE OF PEDLARS
a ten-page news story just re
leased by the United States Post
office Department tells "now its in
spectors have recently run down and
brought to- arrest a group of fake
"eye specialists'; who have swindled
rural residents throughout the coun
try out of thousands of dollars for
worthless spectacles and fake eye
operators. In exposing this racket,
which has been worked throughout
the country upon well-to-do but gul
lible farmers, the postofflce depart
ment at the same time sounds a
warning to rural dwellers to beware
Of itinerant "eye doctors" who call at
the rural home, claiming to be the
representatives of some well-known
and reliable firm of eye specialists.
The frauds these traveling fakirs
have worked upon the unsuspecting
who have fallen for their racket have
cost their victims - large ' sums of
money, charges as high as five hun
dred and a thousand dollars at times
have been collected as fees for, fake
operations. Preying upon the unsu
specting, usually elderly people whose
sight has become impaired from age
or disease, the fakirs promise correc
tion of the fault of vision, at the
same time frightening the "patient"
into immediate action by advising
that total blindness within a short
uma , wui result unless treatment is
taken. : Worthless spectacles are fit
ted or a fake operation is then per
formed at an enormous fee and the
fake specialist harries away. .

BACK SEAT DRIVER
TURNS UP MISSING
Park Visitor Face Embarrass
ing Situation.
Yellowstone Park. The gentleman
from Indiana was visiting Yellow
stone national park with his wife, a
young son, and younger daughter.
After touring the entire loop of the
park in his private automobile, he
found himself at 8:30 p. m. at Yel
lowstone canyon with 42 miles be
tween him and his destination for
that night at West Yellowstone,
Montana, western gateway of the
park.
Wife and daughter expressed
themselves as desirous of a nap
enroute the 42 miles between the
two points. They bundled themselves
well into blankets and pillows, while
the father and son were to pilot the
family car.
Less than a mile from the canyon
the two male members of the party
found something of interest along
the roadway, stepped oat of the car
to explore, and returned to continue
the journey with just a look at the
pile of blankets in the rear seat to
assure them that all was well with
the women folks.
At the West Yellowstone gateway,
the ranger politely stepped up with
the routine question: "May I see
your permit, please?"
The driver did not answer. Instead
he took a quick glance to the" rear
seat, and exploded: "It can't be!
This couldn't happen to me! It sim
ply can't be!"
"May I see your permit, please?"
pressed the ranger, unaware of any
difficulty.
"It's simply not true," continued
the driver without answering the
ranger. "Nothing like this could hap
pen to me. She's got the permit."
"If you'll pardon me, I don't un
derstand," the ranger came back.
Then followed the tale of the miss
ing daughter and mother who held
the park entry permit Telephone
conversations between the ranger
and another at Canyon solved the
difficulty. Mother and daughter had
awakened when the two in the front
seat had gone out to explore. They,
too, decided to look around; but did
not get back in tima to continue
the journey. . v ' v V ,
"That gentleman ' doesn't know
what a Jewel of A wife he's got," is
the way Frank" Oberhansley, dis
trict ranger at West Yellowstone
sums.it up. "Any man who can
drive 42 miles without knowing
whether or not the backseat driver
is with him ought to keep a close
eye on his precious companion."
dler should be avoided. This - warn
ing and advice, however, can be ap
plied not alone to unknown pedlars
of eye glasses, but to itinerant sales
men of all types of merchandise.
The established and known resident,
whether physician or business man,
is always safest to deal with. Nine
times out of ten the pedlar who
knocks at your door offering so-
called bargains is a fakir and is not
to be trusted, whether offering silk
stockings or eye-glasses. Gates
