OTHERS VIEWS

To the Editor: II
AS we look down lifes road Of time,
it is great that we do not know what
Is to come.
We can look back over the past and
/ am sure some of us wish we could
have lived our lives different. And as
now we have a chance to let the world
see that we are willing to stand for
God why should we Dear Reader feel
that some one will laugh at us. Why
that is, only their sin If God has come
into your life so that you feel like tell
ing some one else about it. Sure 1t
is a sin to .quinch Gods thoughts or
His spirit If the Lord has called on
you to stand up for His cause it is
the Devil that causes people to laugh
and scorn 1t Is not what we have done
but what we are doing.
1t is the Light and Love of God that
counts In this world so search your
hearts Dear Friends, see where you
stand, see If you are standing on the
Promises of God the one that giveth
life everlasting.
And if you are not on the Promises
of God it is my advice that you get
their for as many as their is going
out of this world every day it is time
to get ready, for how sad it will be
when we reach the Pearly Gates for
the Lord to say depart for know
you not.
People are not only going by causes
of sickness but by accident so who
knows who will be next. So be We al
SO ready for we know not when, the
Lord shall call us, or we be taken by
accident. Then He has gone to pre-
pare place for us. And will come
again to receive, us unto Himself that
where He is their we will dwell for
ever what a blessed thought He has
promised that is more than silver. and
gold. r., :. =, /
suggest that we turn to the First
Epistle of John read the book, see
how much God loves us then In. re-
turn ask our self how much do we
love the Lord that was crucified on
the Cross that we might live. And
Oh, my friends, how are some of us
living, I would say just drifting along
without prayer until sickness, prob
ably death strikes us, then we cry:
Oh, Lord, in prayer for help, we ought
to be ashamed to. call on the Dear
Lord then. After serving the Devil all
our early life for Christ our Lord
wants the best we have. 81.
And If He did not want our best He
surly would not have given the Only
Begotton Son to save us from being
burned with fire and brimstone So
as you Gear Reader glance over these
few lines may you think for moment
about what a hard winter we had
some sadness In their home caused
by death, some have had it other
ways but how sad it is to see one go
out without a hope. Resolve now to
do your duty to help your neighbor
and fellowman to see the Light of God
as we see this glorious sunshine, we
all like. ...-...

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

April Is, 1719-The first edition of
Robinson Crusoe was published, and
immediately began piling up a record
as the best selling novel of all time.
It had appeared first as a newspaper
serial, having been written as hack
work by 58-year-old Daniel Foe, ex-
convict and bankrupt who was never
theless the most distinguished journa-
list Of his time. He was a snob, too;
when fame came, he changed his
name to DeFoe because he was ash
AIMED of the humble position of his
father a butcher.
April IS, 1854 benefit concert
was given in Philadelphia for Gilbert
Fox singer. It is memorable because
IT was for this occasion that Joseph
,Hopkinson. lawyer, wrote Hail, Co
1umbia3" fitting his wokvis to the
tune. Of another song, THE Presi-
dents March"
April Is. 1859 Construction of the
Suez Canal was begun by a French
company. When a canal across the
Isthmus was first proposed, seven
teen centuries before, 1t was blocked
by Caliph Omen, with the argument
that If Allah had wanted a waterway
there he would have put one there.

New York, April 25-The manner in
which New Workers are taking to
games is at once surprising and dis
turbing. Games featuring big bus
mess deals and the handling of vast
sums of play-money; games which
involve elections, racing odds and the
stock market. The American Toy
Fair advises me that games for
adults trebled in sales this spring
most of them along the lines just
mentioned. 4
Eventually the theatre, the night
places and the movies will suffer if
people continue to stay at home and
exchange bales of symbolic 1000 bills
This might be a healthy sign. re
turn to the old diversions of the par
lor when the parchesi board was, a
means of huge family congeniality.
But nowadays the finance" games
are played with grim intensity.
When Young Alphonse from Yale
goes to the wall, unable to pay his
$4,000 rental" for 1.-THE Boardwalk"
in one of the real estate games, he
pales and perspires; his fingers clutch
convulsively and he hates Pop and
Aunt Susie vigorously for having
driven him to bankruptcy. There Is
too much serious acting out of real
emotions to make most of these
games ideal family get-togethers.
You will notice too that the self
styled liberals plunge into these
stage-money games with the most
NNofound intensity. The "pink-o",
who in his everyday conversation Is
quickest to denounce those who toll
to put aside competence, and has
the, greatest scorn for "the profit
motive" demonstrates that he can be
the most ruthless of Shylocks once.
he gets ahead at one of the phoney-
money games. He looses,. at what
should be play, all the pent-up fixa-
ton upon currency which his own
character is too weak to assuage in
life and which his radical philosophy.
attempts to conceal while abili-ing
failure.
A generation ago people would
have been bored and amused at the
idea of tossing fortunes, however
fictional they were, around in parlor
game. It vas too far from reality; at
too great variance with the princi-
pies of thrift and slow accumulation.
through self-denial the nwidely held.
But today extravaganza is a sort of
virtue and grownups, like children,
adore in their games to re-enact the
drama going on around them.
And speaking of the toys that chill
dren now play with, it interested me
to learn that less than one per cent of
1886 playthings are concerned with
machine guns, "pineapples," night
sticks and "G-Men" Gappurtenances
Interest in crime among the tots is

Raleigh, April 25.-Secretary of
State Stacey w. Wade scored a poll
teal home run with the tobacco farm
ers in the east and won much new
support when he bluntly told the s.
900 or more tobacco afrmers at the
mass meeting here Tuesday that if he
were governor he would "call spe-
cial session of the General Assembly
in Is minutes" according to much
opinion heard here this week. Most
observers believe that Wade, credited
with being politically canny, gained
many votes and lost none by telling
the farmers what he did.
1t is generally reported that Thad

ton, is in agreement with Governor
>. Z. B. iEhringhaus in his refusal to

Soothing Pipes History

II Is often assumed that briar pipes
are made form the wood or root of the
briar rose. This is not so: they are
made from the root of the Mediter-

is really a corruption Of "bruyere."
according to a writer in London Tit

Pipes have a long history. The first
mention of inhaling smoke by the In
dian was in 1926; the method was a
forked cane, the double end being in
serted in the nostrils while the other
end was held over the burning herb
From that they changed to the clay
pine. not unlike the ones used in mod

and the smoke was expelled through
the nostrils to obtain the full narcotic

pipes that were used were the Pipes

Peanut. Burrowing Bean

The peanut is often called the bur-
rowing bean, because after the flower
fades the plant stems bend over from
height of about IS inches and, like
an ostrich hiding his head, bury the
pods in the ground to mature. In the
late summer and autumn the nuts are
thrown out of the ground with a dig
ger, and then dried in piles of stacks
for four to six weeks. Thrashing ma
chimes remove the pods from the vines.
