By their own ballots, the hurley as we'll
as fue-cured tobacco growers have defeat
ed the federal governments plan of mark
citing control of the 1889 crop. A majority
of the farmers voted favorably, but the
law required approval from two-thirds of
those voting. What will be the result?
Frankly, we do not know, but our opinion
is that the Soil Conversation and acreage
allotment program will not be adequate to
prevent over-production and of course
over-production means lower prices, as
supply and demand is the only thing that
controls price We share the same feeling
of many farmers that we would not like
to be told chow many pounds we could sell
and how many we couldn't without being
forced to pay penalty" and realize that
under the present program it is difficult
for new growers to get much of an allot-
ment, but at the same time the problem
preventing flooded markets and starvation
prices is big one and about the only way
to solve it is through control program of
some kind by the federal government or
a complete organization of the farmers
themselves The latter would be ideal, but
it is virtually impossible. It is not profit
able to the grower to raise tobacco for six
to ten cents per pound.

The current epidemics of measles and
scarlet fever in the county emphasize anew
the Importance of taking good care of chill
dren and of perhaps keeping them at home
and in bed when they have severe colds.
The physicians state that both of those dis
eases start in that manner We are glad
to note however, the epidenics are mild.

II never saw a more beautiful
tree" he said. 1T seems to glow"
INJURED to the others. Then one Of
the little snow birds spoke. Have
you forgotten that every year they
come to cut Christmas trees?"
What are Christmas trees?" the
little fir asked.
''Oh, they cut down the trees and
take them in the house, and put
candles on them so they look like
stars. and spangles that look like
snow shining in the moonlight. And
the people sing songs and give each
other gifts. and it is a time of being
glad" the little snow bird twittered
''Oh, l wish they would take me.
the little tree cried in excitement
I'D love to see it ALL I'd love to
make people happy. But I'm too
little" and he sighed unhappily.
Ssh! Let's all be quiet" one OF
the tall trees exclaimed. 1.-The
woodsmen are coming near us. We
must be quiet so they won't notice
us. Then we won't be cut down and
left to die"
But in spite of their silence, the
men drew near. They looked at the
trees. and one of them said: "Oh,
these are all too tall No house or
church could hold them. Let's get
on"
Just then a little lad who was
riding in the sled, called to his ia.
Their: Dad, can we find little tree
for sister? Couldn't we find a cute
little tree to put in her very own
room?"
"Ho! Ho!" laughed a big rough
man. In her own room? No little
girl will stay in her room on Christ
mas .day!"
The lads father answered, sadly:
Yes, my little girl will. She had
infantile paralysis last summer, and
hasn't been able to walk since. Sure
ly, son, we'll find a little tree for
her"
Here l am, here l am! come
and get me-" the little fir tree called
out Justify. And the little boy turned
and saw the branches trembling,
and the little snow bird flying away
why, dad. there is a cute little
tree over there. Such a beautiful
straight tree. Wouldn't that do?"
he called.
The man got out from the sled.
He walked to the tree and fondled it
gently. Il never saw more beauti-
full tree. 1t seems to glow. Molly
will love it," he said with a smile.
The little tree was so happy that
he didn't feel the blows from the
AK that cut him to the ground. And
when they put him into the sled, he
was still happy. The. little boy
called to his father: ''It sounds as if
the little tree was singing when the
wind blows through its branches"
And the little tree laughed delight
eddy.

A WARNING TO AMERICANS

Many people have ridiculed the activities
of the Congressional committee which has
been conducting an investigation into un-
American activities
Chairman Martin Dies has been abused,
even by Cabinet officers, for permitting
witnesses to make statements indicating
sympathy on the part of officials of the
Government and others in high places,
with Communism, Fascism and other de-
cidedly un-American "isms"
It is true that much of the 'evidence'
submitted to the Dies committee was the
f1imsiest sort and proved nothing but the
opinions of the witnesses 1t seems to be
true that some persons took advantage of
the opportunity offered by the committee
hearings to express personal dislikes and
hatreds of racial, religious and other mi
norities
But enough was brought out before the
committee to convince most who read the
testimony that, after WinnoWing away all
of the chaff, there remained enough sound
grain to warrant the belief that movements
on foot in America today which are calcu-
lated to destroy the American system of
democracy, if they once take root and
spread.
The best result OIL, the investigation has
been to put patriotic citizens on their
guard It is not enough to assure that the
American system is SO firmly rooted in the
consciousness of all the people that it can
not be undermined by subversive and
subtle propaganda.
When advocates Of other systems are
proclaiming their merits to the willing ears
and the susceptible minds of the young, it
behooves good Americans to be equally
alert and aggressive in re-stating the prin-
ciples of Americanism
AS Chairman Dies expresses it, ''the es-
sence of Americanism is recognition of the
truth that the inherent and fundamental
rights of man are derived from God and
not from governments, societies, dictators,
kings or majorities Communism, fascism
and nazism all represent forms of dictator
ships which deny the divine origin of the
fundamental rights of man.
That, it seems to us, is the elemental
truth of which America must never lose
sight.
