THE HITLER-MUssoLINI BARGAIN

Undoubtedly Adolph Hitler and Benito Muss-
olini discussed many things during The Furore's
visit to Rome, but it may be pretty safely as
sumed that among the more vitality important
matters were the German dictator's ambitions
relative to Czechoslovakia and the Italian die
tator's keen desire for assurance that the bor-
ders of his own domain would not be denied.
Hitler guaranteed "for all time" the Alpine
border between Germany and Italy, which was
paramount among Mussolini's desires. And in
exchange Mussolini apparently gave the visit
ing German dictator the Ego ahead signal to
carry out his immediate ambitions for conquest
of Czechoslovakia to add it to the Greater Ger
many formed by the annexation of Austria.
Incidentally it may be noted that in giving
Mussolini guarantee "for all time, Hitler was
covering lot of territory How can Hitler
guarantee anything after his own death, even
should he continue to constitute the government
and national power of Germany as long as he
lives?
But what difference does it make as to what
length of time is covered by Hitler's guarantee
whether thousand years or thousand days?
Coming from him, one guarantee is as good as
another. No pledge made by him can reason
ably be expected to hold good any longer than
he reaches the point of decision that his guar
antee stands in the way of some ambitious en-
terprise of his enterprise.
When pledge he has made interferes with
future ambitions he will find an excuse to re-
nounce it. Mussolni probably knows that. Ger
tainly he should know that agreements made by
modern European Distators are subject to can
collation. at the will of either dictator IA
Having pargained with Mussolini to keep
hands off and let Hitler Ego ahead with his am
billions of conquest in eastern Europe, it may be
expected that The Furore now will assume
more aggressive attitude toward Czechoslo-
vakia, some sort of conquest of which undoubt-
eddy is the most immediate part of his ambitious
program of Nazi expansion.-The Charlotte OBJ

Religious Editorial Comment
DOING THY WILL

Psychologists, psychiatrists and all who ex-
plore the mind of man. statesmen of all products
who seek to bring the mind and heart to action,
and the universal testimony of mankind is to
the affect that the appeal of the "want to" is
more powerful than the Ought, to- in human
persuasion.
BY the appeal to the want to" they designate
the appeals to the primeval instincts and de-
sires of humanity, name; love, companionship,
combat, and other physical mental, and emo
tional hungers and thirsts
BY the appeal to the fought to- is mean the
theory that asserts Il ought to do it, because it
is the right thing to do" E
Sensual and worldly appeals are almost, if not
altogether, to the first named and result in lewd
ness, immortality, insecurity, and chaos Dog
NAUTICAL religionists often appeal to the latter
The true Christian appeal is to both, for its Cos
pei is to be preached so as to persuade men and
women to want to do what they ought to do.
Gods will to the true Christian is privilege
as well as duty Privilege and duty are syn
onimous words in the gospel language. It is
duty that he "get right, ''stay right, and Idle
right with God but it is much more than
duty wv count it privilege here to Give and
move and have our being, to bow humbly and
gratefully at the feet of Him 'who loved U.S. and
washed us from our sins in His own blood, to
fellowship as sons and daughters with the most
high God to experience Joy unspeakable and

This Saturday is the last day for
hurley tobacco growers to appear
before the county agriculture COM
mittee at the courthouse and enter
complaints relative to the acreage

In Ashe county there seems to be

to come before them Saturday.
Last Saturday was the deadline
for fling new applications for bur-

that Ashe farmers are becoming
more and more interested in raising
the brown-goldep weed.

THE HOSPITAL SURVEY

Of the sixteen goals for 1888 which The Post
suggested at the beginnng Of this year. it is rath
er generally agreed that the two most import
ant are: an Ashe county hospital and agricul-
tural departments in our high schools.
What about the hospitaR There are those who
contend that such thing is impossible, the cost
of construction too great and that there is not
enough business availablesto support one On
other hand, many citizens are of the opinion
that we can build a hospital and that it will be
self-supporting. >''>}
A profitable operation is the most vital thing
to be considered. If such an institution can be
operated at a profit or even break even, the
money can be found with which to erect the
building and equip it.
So in order to arrive at some rather definite
figures upon9 (which to base our conclusions as
to possible success of operation, The Post is
now conducting Hospital Bills survey.
If you or any member of your family under
went an operation in 1887, please fill out the
blank published elsewhere in this issue and send
to The Post. This is one way you can contribute
to making this dream come true.
: By doing this you may be helping to build a
hospital IN Ashe county.

Freakish Weather
. Does Much Damage
Unusual High Winds And Low
Temperature Experienced
Here Last Week End.

Gardens, early crops and fruit trees
were severely damaged last week
end by abnormally strong winds
and low temperature which
caused the old-timers to scratch
their heads and do some keen cal
culating to recall the last time that
such a late breath Of winter des-
cended on the Blue Ridge.
In certain sections of Ashe and
Watauga counties, it was reported
that light snow fiurries were un-
welcomed visitors and from every
where came the report that the
wind was stronger than anything
in March," Considerable damage
was done to the trees, too.
This week the weather has been
quite changeable. One day the sun
shone and the next it rained. The
prophet predicts that Ashe will be
visited by light thunderstorms to-
day and tomorrow. .~...
Some of the older folks said that
they had seen the snow fall on the
21st day of May. Others said that
the reason for the freakish weather
over the weekend was because the
moon went into total eclipse Fri
day morning at 2 o'clock. The
eclipse would have been visible here
if it had been clear night. It was
supposed to start at LAT and last
for about one hour.

EDUCATION PAYS DEARLY

Now that commencement exercises are over
and the attention of the high school graduates is
being seriously focused upon the big question
OF, what shall do now?", The Post would like
to offer few suggestions.
From the stand point of dollars and cents
alone, an education pays amazingly high divi-
dends, so high in fact it is revelation to check
the records.
According to a survey made by the United
States Bureau of Education an unframed ind-
vidual going to work at the age of IA, reaches
maximum income at 40sand earns during life.
time the sum total of $64 100000.
The high school graduate goes to work at Is,
rises in earning power to $4,000 at the age of so
and during his life-time makes $9000000
The college graduate goes to work at %,
reaches his maximum at the age of so which is
$4,000 and total earnings from % to go years av-
erage around $165,00000.
In other words, those four years spent in high
school are worth total of over SOS, 900 in life
time and the four years spent in college are
worth another total of $7O0O00Ol or around
100000 for the entire eight years in high school
and college.
Those figures are astounding, but the are &C
tual because they are taken from the records
of men and women. Just think, each year spent
in high school is worth an average of over
$4,000 and each year in college, over SIG 00000sa
Parents, graduates of 1888, think it over and
by all means make arrangements to attend col
lege. It will pay you to borrow the money even
at interest rate of say Is per cent.
But dollars and cents is only one of the adj
vantages of college or even high school edu-
cation. This same survey showed that out Of
100000 in the elementary schools only bare
8O8 of them gained distinction in late life, or one
out of $4,000.
OF 100000 with high school education who
were surveyed, 1,245 had gained distinction, or
one out CT every 1000 And out of 100000 col
1ege graduates, 5,768 had reached the top of
their chosen profession or one out of every ZOO
It is also significant for the cause of education

recent edition of who's Who in America, APP
proximately 1900 of them were college gradu-
