Why Entire World Looks
to +. r. for Leadership

It is more pleasant to turn
from Shaw to Fred Essary, a
Washington correspondent,
who has what Shaw has not
an intelligent conception Of
the American scene. Speak
ing of President Roosevelt
and the correspondents, he
says:
"He is making history
more of it than has ever been
made in a comparable period
by any peace-time President.
And we are writing news of
more vital Importance to the
great mass of American read
ers than any of us have ever
written before.
In truth, in days Of peace,
and I believe that war days
may be included, there has
never been a similar period
in all our history that has
been so crowded with great
events and achievements.
That is the reason that a COM
plete change has come over
the spirit Of the people that
is the reason that the entire
world is looking to the Presi-
dent for leadership out of the
depression.

WISE WORDS

Send a fool to the sea, and
he will not find salt water.
The friends of our friends
are our friends.
When men speak i'll of thee,
live so that no one will believe
them.
Let every man speak well Of
the bridge he goes over.
Draw not your bow till your
arrow is fixed.
Two to one is odds against
the angry man.
We often inconvenience
others, when we fancy we can
never possibly do so.
We are very far from being
acquainted with the whole OF
our will.
Nothing is impossible; there
are ways which lead to every
thing; and if we had sufficient
will we should always have
sufficient means.
CoarSenesS is something Suf-
ficient to protect us from being
overreached by an artful man.

ONCE OVERS
Sympathy And Help

sympathy And Help
Are you as charitable as you
should be?
Do you try to lessen the bur-
dens of those who carry heavy
loads?
Do you have to "approve Of"
people in order to help them?
The past few years great
strides have been made in open"
ing the hearts of thousands Of
people and they have gained
pleasure and satisfaction.
But it is also true that too
many persons have become deaf
to demands for aid which have
pressed upon them daily.
It is admirable that among
those who have little are many
of them still willing to share
with others who nave less.
Perhaps it is only those who
have suffered privations who
can Sympathize with those who
are in need.
Whatever it is, there is a
spirit of helpfulnesS found
among those who are having
the hardest kind of a time to
get along themselves.
In scores of instances inves-
tigators have found families
who are able to procure only
the barest necessities for them
selves who feel that others
should be aided first before
they will accept anything,
though in distress.
It is not pride, but generosity
and gratefulness that things
are no worse at their home that
makes them wish to have help
given to those worse off.

Personal Appearance

Are you becoming negligent
about your personal appear
ance?
Perhaps you cannot dress as
we'll as formerly but certainly
you can keep your shoes pol
ished, clothes pressed and your
shirts and collars clean.
It does not require too much
effort to keep Shaven and more
than likely some of your family
would see that your clothes are
clean and pressed.
Some men near middle life
are pretty careless about shaw
ing and so, even when their
clothes are well kept. they look
ill-kept.
LazineSs has more to do with
this than anything else.
You say: IF people don't
like my looks they can look
elsewhere"
That is not a good reason
for your neglect of yourself.
It is Just a weak excuse that
you are making.
The members of your family
and your friends would like to
see you improve your appear
ance.
You would feel better, act bet
ter and look upon the world in
a different way if you were more
careful about your personal ap-
pearance.
You need more personal pride.
When you lose that you have
lost something of great value.
How about the condition Of
your shoes, those spots on your
coat, that soiled shirt, those
whiSkers, those baggy trousers2

II. BERNAhD OLA w,
M who is a rich man be-
cause of American dollars,
has just given out an inter-
view under our flag at Homo
lulu, expressing his usual con-
tempt for the hand that feeds
him so generously. Here is
one of the pearls of wisdom
he offers as he approaches
our shores:
Everybody thinks that
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to do
something. He is not going
to do anything. He cannot do
anything. Your fine demo
cratic institutions prevent
it,"
One of the advantages to
Mr.. Shaw Of our "fine demo-
cratic institutions" and of
the liberty he derides is that
he will be permitted to land,
and to issue bulletins insult
ing the American people and
their Government. Under the
relationships he Graves he
would after similar reflec-
tions, be met at the water s
edge and turned back.
Mr.. Shaw is fir mly at
tached to his theory that the
way to collect American dol
lars is to insult the American
people. Helen Keller, one Of
the really marvellous women
of the world, tells of her
meeting with Shaw, his flabby
handshake and incredible
egotism. His flippant dismis-
sal of this woman so aston
ished her hostess that she
explained that Miss Keller is
deaf, dumb and blind. At
which the gentleman, with a
smirk, said:
"All Americans are deaf,
dumb and blind. "
Thus he approaches our
shores, with his hand out
"Brother, can you spare a
dime?"

Business Is Now on
Upward Turn

Business is now picking up.
Naturally, there is no STAN
pede of spending. But mer-
chants are beginning to see
a change. Hoarding has been
made questionable. Gold is
hurrying out Of hiding. Banks
are opening everywhere with
deposits far exceeding with
drawals. Confidence in the
banks has returned. Word
comes from Speaker Rainey
that because of the powers
granted President Roosevelt
in the economy bill there will
be no increasing Of taxes.
The general effect is re-
Elected in the stock market.
That, however, cannot be
too greatly relied on. The
best that can be said about
the market is that it indi-
Gates returning confidence.
Real prosperity cannot be
brought back instantly by
the waving of a magic
wand. That depends on
the restoration of purchas-
ing power in the millions
who have none now.
And that means that
something must be done to-
ward putting the jobless to

New Formulas Must Be
Found and Tried

One of our troubles all
along for three or four years
has been the disposition not
to depart from methods es-
tablished by precedent, not
to try new paths. There
come times in the evolution
Of society when new trails
must be blazed, new paths
trod. These are really the
great moments of history.
When craftsmanship and
leadership courageously rise
to the necessity and boldly
strike out in a pioneering
spirit with constructive
plans and win, the leader
and the statesman takes his
place among the great fig
ures in a nations life.
We have hoped that the
old formulas would save ag-
riculture from utter ruin.
For years we stupidity as
sumed that agriculture could
be ruined without decreas-
ing the demands on indus
try and business. Only re-
Gently we have learned bet
ter. Now we know some
thing positively must be
done.
We know something more
that under existing condi-
tions it cannot be done
through any Of the old for
mulas.
And we also know that
new formulas must be found
and tried.
We are not going to find
these new formulas in dusty
tonnes, in the book of prcce-
dents. We must find new
ways.

course, you never can tell.
You may know the Truth About
Women at 3:49 p. m, and yet
be entirely haywire at 1923. If
you don't believe it, ask any
married man!
And so the famous author
isn't going to take any chances.
He intends to get his infor-
nation direct-from the girls,
themselves.
Which means YOU.
Here's the plan.
He wants me to broadcast
this query:
WHAT HAS HAD THE
GREATEST INFLUENCE ON
YOUR LIFE?"
What does he mean by 'in-
fluence?" Good influence? Bad
influence? He doesn't specify
and it doesn't matter. He
simply wants to know what
sort of experience, be it good
or evil, has contributed most
toward making you what you
are today.
Think back. Ten years ago,
20, 80 or so, you were a little
girl. Pretty much like all other
little girls. Dreamy. Tomboy-
ish. Sassy. Lovable and lazy.
Delighted with a new dress and
bright beads. Beginning to be
excited about little boys. A
regular little girl with the usual
makings.
And now, today, you're
what?
A woman. Different from all
other women. With a different
personality - distinct notions
and desires. Perhaps a house
wife and mother. Perhaps an
unmarried worker. Or a Big
Business Executive. Or a sue
cessful Professional.
WHATEVER YOU ARE, WHY
DID YOU GET THAT WAY?
What outer experience-what
secret impulse-has made you
what you are?
Romance? The love of q
man
Family loyalty? The pressing
need of your blood kin
Motherhood? The clinging
helpleSsness of a child
Did some gnawing grief or
soaring shame drive you to seek
forgetfulness in work-or in
marriage?
Or was it Love of Self
baked egotism-the determina-
ton to "show 'em'? Many a
woman has made good for that!
Or perhaps the emotions
played little part in your de-
cision. Did your head, rather
than your heart, shape your
career?
Did the adventure Of business
lure you?
Or the glamour of art?
Or the downright need Of
good, hard cash?
What made you want to do
the thing you've done? Or
have you never done the thing
you want? And if not, why
not?
Come on now! Honest! Tell
the Big Man the truth about
yourSelf-if you dare!
Sign your name. or not. as
you choose. Address it to this
paper.
Mr.. x, care of Elsie Robinson.

Plan for Farm

Plan for Farm
Relief
The President has sent his
fourth message to Congress,
brief and to the point and
frank like the others. He
deals in this with plans for
the relief of agriculture. It
is probably one of the most
difficult problems he will
have to face. A bill pre-
ared after consultation
with experts has been pre-
sented. Its purpose is set
forth in the message:
"It relates to agriculture
and seeks to increase the
purchasing power of our
farmers and the consump-
tion of articles manufac-
tured in our industrial COM
.munities, and at the same
time greatly to relieve the
pressure of farm mortgages
and to increase the asset
value of farm loans made
by our banking institu-
tions."
The plan proposed as a
necessary experiment means,
as the President frankly
says, "a new and untrod
path," but this is justified
and necessitated by what
he calls "an unprecedented
condition calling for the
trial Of new means to res
cue agriculture. -
And then he says with re-
freshing directness:
''If a fair administrative
trial of it is made and it
does not produce the hoped
for results, I shall be the
first to acknowledge it and
advise you
This bill also calls for
some temporary dictatorial
powers, but it is just as
necessary as in the case Of
the economy measure.

work on wages ana CoWdrn
making it possible for the
farmers to sell without a
loss.
Both these problems are
to be taken up before a re-
cess, if there is to be any,
and certainly before the
close of the session.
The beer tax bill, when
law, will put great numbers
of men to work while help
ing greatly in balancing of
the budget. Public works
must put still more men to
work. These men restored
to the purchasing class will
create a greater demand for
goods and soon increase the
working force of the facto-
ries. We have been in q
vicious circle; we are get
ting out.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxati.J;

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con-
trolled: 1t forms no habit; you need
not take a double dose" a day or
two LATER. Nor WiH a mild liquid
idrdfiDe irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time. or after.
The wrong cathartic NAV keep
you constipated as long as YOU keep
on using it! And the habitual use Of
irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
In the highly concentrated form Of
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a properly prepared
liquid laxative like DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
few weeks time, and your bowels
can be "as regular as clockwork."
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use 1t makes
an ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the

cuss any problems that might
arise.
Mr.. Sheffield pointed out the
urgent need for North Carolina tc
retire 100000 acres from cultiva-
ton next year and limit the CROP
to less than 100000 acres. The
AAA has set out to raise cotton
prices by cutting down the over
burdening surplus. To this end,
farmers of the nation have been
asked to limit their crop to u.s.
100000 acres, a reduction of 10
percent under the average for the
five-year period from 1928 through
1882.
Growers who sign reduction con-
tracts will be given both rental and
parity payments. The rental for
the acres retired from cultivation
will be calculated at the rate OF
three and one-half cents a pound or
the average production of those
acres during the 1882 period
with a provision that not moro
than SIS an acre shall be paid.
The parity payments will be al
least II cent a pound on next
wears cotton allotmcnt to each
grower, regardless of how the
market stands. In case the market
fails to bring parity prices, the
AAA will increase the parity pay
ments if necessary to make up the
difference.
