IT. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY HKRTKORD, N. C FRIDAY, ' DECEMBER 12, 1941' '11111 WHAT INFLATION MEANS 'Inflation, as everyone knows, consist of a price structure ex panded beyond reasonable values; Whefhep Its; cause be a shortage of supply, or too much money In circulation. It has the effect of making the purchasing pow er of the dollar shrink. Inflation can not take place m j I in one neia or without affect- frig all others. An inflated price for any one commodity has a di rect and Immediate effect upon the price of ALL other goods and services That is why we talk a'., ul a "rising spiral of prices.'' Hero is the way it wor!cr:. f,:ip. pose, for example, the price paid to the farmer for wheat ircrv .res 2, per cent. That. wheat goes into biMl. which of course goes up in puce. The result is aa increase in the cost of living. Very quickly, t.- worker in the factory demands a higher wage to meet the in creased cost of living. That makes the product of the factory cost more, and requires the farmer to pay more for what he buys. ' Sq the farmer is right back in the position Of asking still more for his crops, to meet the increased cost of goods that he cannot raise oh hi3 farm. And the same cycle starts all over again. H-sher prices for farm product. do not mean an Improvement the farmer's position unless a sub stantial part of the increase can be retained as profit. It doesn't help much to get more money merely for the privilege of paying it out. People do not get rich by mere ly having a lot of money pass through their hands. Some of it has got to stick in order to do any good. There has never been an in stance in business history in which a I""; sustained cycle of inflation has ;i' . ' npiishp'l anything of last ing ! ;, i,( to anyone .s-n.v the one greatest and first esyeitui of life is something to eat it .in therefore be said that inflation starts with an increase in ttfe CQSt of living On the con trary, when we have a low cost of Irving, it means that aU prices will be low -within reach of all the people. Then we have prosperous business 'and increasing employ ment. . How can we keep the cost of living low? By doing exactly what the factory does in order to accom plish lower selling prices cut the cost of production. That means selling for less, without sacrifice of profits. It means broadened mar kets, more employment, better business. If we can reduce the cost of producing crops on the farm, the farmer can afford to forego rais ing his prices, because his profit will be assured by a greater mar gin between his selling price and his cost And that Is something that can be brought about by the adoption of modern methods and modern machinery on the farm. With more machines, and better machines, the farm can produce with less man power and less hours of labor Modernization of the farm will do more than merely keep the cost of living down and so prevent further inflation of all prices. Mod Tmzation means a prosperous sericulture. And that will be a great contri b'.urn to national security and Dri'.-f rit.y Who Knows? 1. Are the French soldiers still prisoners of war in Germany ? 2.

D, Assist ant Derictor First Aid, Water Safety, Accident Prevention Ser vice, American National Red Cross. Panic is poison's ally; poise is its enemy. The individual who has swallowed poison needs immediate attention, but he will not get it if those in a posi tion to aid him squander precious moments rushing about in confusion, or transport him to a not-so-nearby hospital, or stand by idly and help lessly while awaiting the arrival of a physician. If the poison can be removed from the sto.nach before it is absorbed, the harm done the victim is usually not great. But if the poison becomes absorbed into the body, there is not much that even a physician can do, ' thoui.h he shout;1 in every case be I summoned promp Jy. Knowledge of what to do in event j oi sue a emergency is the key to calm, sure, ettective action. And that is easy. It is not necessary to remember a long list of antidotes. In fact, it is much better for the first- aiaer to use tne simple measures al ways at hand. In this he follows two admonitions: Dilute. Wash out. A poison diluted with a large amount of liquid is never absorbed as rapidly as it is in concentrated form. Also, a full stomach can be more readily persuaded to empty its con tents. Obviously, when the poison is removed it can do no further damage. This is accomplished by repeatedly induced vonyting. Doth of these objectives are at tained at the same time by use of any one of the following simple emetics: 1. Soapy water (soapsuds). 2. Salt water. 3. Soda water, made with ordinary "laking soda. 4. Luke warm water. 5. Dishwater. 6. Milk (especially for corrosive poisons). It is important to give sufficient emetic four to seven glassfuls pre ferably lukewarm. If the victim does not besin vomiting after the emetic has been administered, tickling the bi'ck of the throat with the finger will usually bring results. After the stomach is well washed out, the proper antidote may be ad ministered, if it is known and avail able. A large dose of Epsom salts ! may be" safely given after the stom j ach is emptied. This is orthodox and j sound procedure in any case of pois I oning. I If the poison swallowed was a cor rosive, such as bichloride of mercury, and acid or an alkali, follow the di luting and washing out process with soothing drinks of milk and eggs beaten up together. In cases of opium or morohine i poisoning, it is advisable to keep the J victim awake but not to exhaust him j by compelling physical exercise. Strong coffee, a cup every half hour I or so, is good in combating poisoning I from any sleep-producing drug. In j cases of strychnine poisoning do not i give a stimulant and keep the patient as quiet as possible. Virtually every case of accidental poisoning is the result of careless ness or ignorance. Observe, then, these four simple rules recommended by the Red Cross: Keep all bottles labeled and never take medicine from an unlabeled bottle. Never take medicine in the dark when you cannot see the label on the bottle. Keep all poison drugs away from all other medicines and safely locked up. Keep all medicines and poisons out of the reach of small children. Says Poor Land Makes Poor People A prosperous, healthy and intelli gent citizenship cannot lon;r exist on a poor stril. That is the opinion of a committee of extension workers who were ap pointed to consider a report on soil fertility in North Carolina. The group was appointed by Dean 1. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service, and held their hearings and discussions at the recent Extension Conference. "Every acre on the farm should grow some productive crop," said the report as finally adopted by the en tire Extension group.' "Each acre should be either in forest, pasture or cultivated crop. AH the crop land ought to be under a rotation system which should include at least one le gume. In some tobacco rotations, a small grain or grass crop might be substituted for the legume." The committee went on to declare that jeivery .section of the State had legumes best adapted US its soil and its system of farming. Legumes should be firtilized. especially with limestone, phosphate and potash,' - to increase their effectiveness. ' , Tt&cfr$ legume seeds need to be grown "on our homo farms. sa'ry to good soil fertility and there fore broadcast or sod crops-should occupy from 25 to 100 per Cent of the crop land on every farm. The-actual percentage per farm will depend up on, the slope and. the kind of farming done. Terraces, subsoiling, contour cultivation, and drainage are neces sary in many cases. Minor elements need to be carefully considered in all soil fertility and nutrition problems and county agents were urged, in the report, to' study these elements and to become better prepared to aid farmers concerning these little known materials. More research with minor elements was recommended. CLASSIFIED AND LEGAL NOTICES FOR SALE ONE NEW PERFEC TION oil stove, ih excellent condi tion. Phone 2491, Hertford, N. C. ' decfi.
