BOOTLEG BUSINESS

A local bootlegger last week ap-
preached a Salisbury attorney and
asked him the following question:
"Do you think those ID fools
down in Raleigh will pass that beer
bill?" The attorney was of the
opinion that the bill would pass
and so informed his interrogation.
The bootlegger then inquired if
there was any way that the piece
legislation in question could be
blocked. The attorney knew of
none. Then the bootlegger said:
swell, it looks like they are going
to put me out of business"

The first woman member of a
Presidents Cabinet may not have
endeared herself to the average
Congressman by calmly putting
some of them in their place. AT

We have been dependent upon the
export market for the sale Of these
surplus products. The export mar
ket has been steadily, and as we
believe, permanently { shrinking.
Nation after nation has got itself
back to the position where its ow 1
farms "a supply its W needs.
1t is absurd for farmers to COM
pete with each other in the domes-
tic market. But that is Whit it
comes to when they grow more
than the market demands. We had
hoped that the cooperative market
ing plan which was the basis of the
Farm Boards creation, might work
out to induce the farmers to pull
together instead of apart; but as
yet there has been no such progress
made as to justify the hope that
American farmers will EVER be
anything but independent indivi-
dualists. That is in the true A
merican tradition, a tradition Of
outstanding independence wl'ch
makes it impossible to apply in this
country such restrictions as are
placed upon production in other
countries, however beneficial they
may be to the farmer.
The principle involved in the
Presidents plan is a new and un-
tried one, the principle of paying
the farmer for not producing, in
order that all farmers may get a
higher price for the limited amount
they do produce. As Mr.. Eoose-
welt himself admits, it may not
work; but there are many who be-
lieve that it will work, and if it's
administration does not take any
more cash out of the pockets of
taxpayers but instead results in
collecting the amount paid to the
farmers from the professors and
handlers of farm products, it may
accomplish the purpose of restoring
the farmers purchasing power.

EUROPE

No less amazing than the favor
able reaction to the leadership of
President Roosevelt in this country
have been the feelings engendered
abroad by his decisive actions when
he assumed office. All through
Europe they are praising the Presi-
dent, and in England opposition
statesmen are demanding to know
why England is not producing a
leader who will take hold in similar
fashion. The most amazing part
of the whole picture here, to Eur
opeans, is the maner in which the
American people pulled together
and sacrificed gladly.
Europe thought that the Ameri-
can people had gone soft from
easy living and too much money
and believed that we could never
buckle down and go through when
the going became hard.
The combination of a leader like
the President and the fortitude and
spirit of the people has elevated
this country to a new position in the
eyes of Europe.

FARM RELIEF

The purpose of the farm relief
which President Roosevelt has ask
ed Congress to adopt is, as we I'm
derstand it, to raise the prices of
farm products by reducing the
volume of production.
We believe hat is a sound prin-
ciple. We are only concerned a
bout the practicabllity of accom-
plishing it.
1t is the fact that the farms of
the United States have been for
years producing more Of the prin-
cipal staples, cotton, wheat, corn,
tobacco, beef, pork and dairy pro-
ducts, than the people of the Unit
ed States could readily consume,

Hollywod.-An actor must ad-
mire his leading woman in private
life if he is to make love to her on
the screen.
1t is practically impossible for a
player to forget his personal likes
and dislikes when emoting before
a camera.
Almost every leading woman
is an imminent danger to the actor
who wants to stay single.
These are a few of the observa-
tons cleaned by Gary Grant the
newes romantic male of Holly
wood.
MANY men have married the
woman they had played opposite"
said Grant. Playing at love often
leads to the genuine article. It's all
very simple. To do love scenes
properly, you must be of the type
to whom you might like to make
love off the screen.

must make love to the girl later so
during the early days of production
you become we'll acquainted.

cation. No director would expect
to have good scenes until his players
were well acquainted with each
other.

two players who either are in love
or on the verge of it. The thing
works the other way too. 1t easy

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1888
HITLER AND CHAOS.

Adolph Hitler and his 10000
uniformed Nazies bode little good
for the peace of the world. Swash-
buckling, bulldozing and persecu-
ton have never yet solved national
or international problems. Germany
has suffered an incalculable loss in
elevating Handsome Adolph" to
the CHARACTERISTIC. Since the sign
ing Of the Treaty Of Versailles the
sympathy CT the World has slowly
sravitated toward the stricken
reich. The event of the past
month have changed much of this
growing sympathy to Impotence,
if not downright anxiety. Hitler's
program is radical, foolish and cal
culated to lead Germany into dire
straights. The idotic persecution
of the Jews is typical of the Nazi
mind. Following it we may expect
direct :sction' in setting the pro-
blem of the Polish Corridor, which
action can have no alternative
other than war. World opinion
was slowly but surely forcing an
adjustment of this international
sore spot, but Hitler will never be
disposed to wait for a practical SOL
ution to this grave problem. Like
all radicals, he much prefers to
leap before he looks. In short, we
predict that Hitler's radical pro-
gram will extend beyond the Dor
ders of the reich, and with it will
come disaster and ruin.
Recent newspaper dispatches
from Europe indicate that France
is prepared for any Eventually.
Her munition plants are said to be
working day and night. Backed
by the finest equipped and best
trained army in the world the
French are in a position to take no
foolishness from Hitler. The Ger
man people, weighed down by the
burdens of their recent defeat, can
not possibly stand up under the
crushing blows France can, and
will deliver, to her. The 100000
Nazies will make no 1914 parade
through Belgium, shouting mach
Paris" Instead, Franco Belgian
troops will be pouring over her
frontiers and turning her cities,
towns and villages into SHAMELESS.
The die-hard Junkers and rattle
parted youngsters, who constitute
the Nazi storm troops, can only
make a sorry show without air
plans, ordinance and tanks. Strip
ped of national defense, save men
Germany's debacle will be speedy
and complete-then we may look
for chaos in the reich.
Only men like Stresseman,
Bruening and Won Hindenburg cal
lead Germany out of her troubles.
Only men like these can build up
her prestige abroad and bring her
international sympathy. Hitler will
lead her to ruin and destruction.
Obviously, Germany has chosen
the wrong leadership.

his capital. He bought more mat
ches wholesale and sold them at re-
tail until he had a quarter. He
bought six packages of smoking
tobacco for his quarter and sold
them for a nickel a sack. At last
he had money enough to buy a Ear
ton of cigarettes, which he again
retailed at a profit.
Carter has $40 now, al from the
original nickel. He has done better
than a lot of white folks who have
let the hard times lick them. And
he has proved that business ability
is not confined to any one class or
race.
