HERE AND THERE

II sold five six-weeks- old pigs the
other day for $50. and could have had
$50 by just saying that was the
price" said a Bethel farmer to Here
and There last Saturday. "But 1t
looks to me like even SO Is a big
price to pay for a six-weeks- old pig"
"Oh, why cannot our people get
walked UP to their responsibility In
connection with this terrible warT
exclaimed a young lady to Here and
There q day or two ago. "As l see
It, nobody seems to feel any interest
except those who have close relations
In the ranks. The others seem to
think that they have no responsible
ty but to buy and sell, to make money
for themselves. am almost tempted
to wish that some aerial bombs would
fall down close enough to make them
realize their danger and their rcspon-
sibility. No, am not doing anything;
but there Is nothing ! am not willing
to give"
It Is to be hoped that every section
of York county will have q big COM
munity fair next fall and that every
farmer will begin now preparing to
have creditable exhibits Of farm food
products at these fairs. not only to
show his neighbors what he can do.
but to show the county. the state and
the nation what the farmers OF York
county are doing in the way Of pro-
ducing foodstuffs. Already commu-
nifty fairs are fixture at Bullock's
Creek. Laney and Bethel. at Mt. Holly
and India Hook in Catawba town
ship. These community fairs, with
the products Of the farm, the kitchens

Tho Moat and the Beam.

why will small town business peo-
pie knock their competitors?
The fault is common in all small
towns much more so than in large
cities. and il Is foolish anywhere.
Nobody ever made anything by
knocking q competitor business or
professional, and nobody ever indulg-
ed in the practice without losing out
himself.
Take the case of two competitors
where each knocks the other and In
the course of time both are knocked
out. Where one knocks and the 9TH
er does not, the competitor who
knocks loses, and the competitor who
is knocked gains. It Is the invariable
rule. and the strangest thing about 1t
Is that there should be any left who
do not understand It..
The man who knocks his competitor
or anybody else he does not like.
not only injuries himself. but helps
the fellow he Is trying to injure. That
Is, provided the man who Is knocked
has sense enough to keep his mouth
shut and not knock back.
There is. nothing to the idea that
being knocked Is a justification for
knocking-certainly not in business or
commercial life. The reaction on the
knocker back is always as great as the
reaction on the original knocker.
This Is not theory. 1t Is fact. Any
observant business man Of forty years
or over. ought to be cognizant OF 80
many cases that are true to the rule,
and 50 few exceptions. as to have no
possible doubt about the correctness
Of the proposition.
Knocking of competitors is not 90
common in large cities as It is In

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

York county was not half canvassed
for either the first or second Liberty
loan.
There was some good. intelligent
work done. to be sure. but there was
not enough of it, and it did not go
far enough.
There was more popular buying Of
the second loan than there was Of the
first, for various reasons, among
them the fact that the second drive
had the advantage OF some of the
educational work that was done In the
first drive.
Only a small per cent even OF the
people who have ready surplus money
with which to buy bonds have been
educated into the advantage and
significance of bond investments, and
only q small per cent Of the people
had been educated as to their duty In
the matter. ::
York county Is a much better field
for the sale Of bonds now than II has
ever been. There are more people
who understand the proposition
more people who see the business ad-
vintage OF the investment-more peo-
pie who have been convinced as to
their duty.
