Commodity Plan
Is Made Public

A commodity note plan for payment
Of premiums Is one Of four major
changes made in the federal crop In
surance corporations 1912 program
Revisions in the program also pro-
vide that owners and operators who
insure one farm In a county must
insure all their farms in that county;
an individual need make only one ap-
plication no matter how many farms
he insures, and insurance will be IN
force until noon Of Oct. 81 instead of
Oct. L..
Under the new plan OF paying pre-
miums, r. J. McKenna, AAA chair
man, explained. a grower win need
only sign a contract for payment OF
premiums when he applies for insur-
ance. This win automatically cover all
farms on which the insured has an
interest in the wheat crop, even
though he acquires the farm after ap-
plying for insurance.

he said. That's war work enough. Get

Miss Croy stared at him.

now felt moreover, a peculiar conf

have been due In part to the brandy

had spent, but which she felt quite
safe in backing. Once before she had

sure, what with her new house, and
Mrs. Bride, and the children and the
hens and the pig, that she wished to

turned to her new housekeeper. You
could come down with me the day

Mrs. Bride ceased praying under
her breath, and bobbed.

The words came quite naturally;
already she was under way on her
new course; and as she stopped speak

Not A War Project

While Mrs. George l.. Clendenin, president
of the Sorosis club, says that the registration
of women is making progress, she has been
disappointed to fine that many women are
closely associating this project with thoughts
of war, and some are inclined to assume 1t
is a precursor Of Americas entry into the war.
Nothing is further from the purpose OF the
registration, Mrs. Clendenin explains, or, II
there is any association etween the two, 1t
is too remote to deserve consideration at this
time. There are many ways in which women
with special aptitudes, skills and training can
perform public service in emergency. And 1t
is for these other services that the Sorosis
club has undertaken its registration, with the
object of being able to summon experienced
help quickly. It is a matter of being pre-
pared in advance, which has obvious advan-
tages over waiting until an emergency comes
to call for workers and hope for volunteers.
With a complete registration in the county,
the leaders in the club effort will be enabled
at a moments notice to assemble a staff for
any given task, because it will have a card
index with which to work. Nurses, teacher
in home economics and administration, skilled
first-aid workers, cooks, and a dozen other
groups will be listed and their experience and
availability noted, 50 that delays can be avoid
ed.
Mrs. Clendenin believes that when the true
facts of the registration are understood. the
women of the city, and county will put
aside all thoughts of possible war service and

and that in his remaining span OF lie ne may
find a full measure of contentment.
Many men have fitted uneasily in the office
Of vice president with its combination OF high
dignity and small constitutional responsible
ties. This was distinctly not true OF Mr.. Gar
ner throughout most of his incumbency.
When he became the presiding officer Of the
senate he put to use the experience and in
auence he had gained in his many years as
representative and speaker OF the house to
exert active behind the-screens leadership. HIS
and prestige were a powerful force IN
moulding legislation during the early years OF
the Roosevelt administrations
MI, Garner might have been taking the oath
of office for a third term on Monday II ne
had been able to see eye to eye with the Presl-
dent and the democratic leadership which had
elevated him to his high post. In his years
in the senate he did much to raise the stature
dignity and usefulness of the vice presidential
office, and it is only fair to him to believe
that he could have done a good job for adj
ditional wears but for the unfortunate differ
ences that arose between him and the Chief
Executive.
His successor, Vice-President Henry A. Wal
lace, has the advantage Of a close intellectual
accord with the President, who is his CHIEF.
But Mr.. Wallace will have a hard task, Tor
his predecessor set a high record as a shrewd
legislative manager and tough-mlnded elder

Editorial Comment
OF STATEWIDE ADV
Lumberton Voice

The movement underway to secure develop
ment will carry untold benefits for the bust
an importance not merely Tor the New Han
over city, but for this section and the entire
state. A great port with adequate shipping IA
cilities as envisioned by the Wilmington Port
Authorities and other leaders of the move
ment will carry untold benefits for the bust
ness life of the state and give impetus to the
greater development of the states resources.
Governor J. M. Broughton in lending his
support to the movement and urging the Re-
construction Finance Corporation to approve a
loan for the port development has written RFC
Chairman Jesse Jones, Il have the conviction
that the development Of this port not only
will serve North Carolina but will prove to
be a development of national Importance" and
unquestionab1y the Governor is correct. AIDE
quate shipping facilities at Wilmington will be
advantageous from a defense standpoint es-
pecially in view of the military projects es-
tabIished in and projected for the state.
After the present emergency has passed the
port facilities will remain as a great promo
tional force for the commercial advancement
of the state. For southeastern North Carolina
embracing this section the presence Of the port
terminals will have definite benefits not to be
minimized.
Mr.. J.. W. Priddy, Jr., Secretary Fulton of
the Lumberton Chamber of and
other leaders of the movement working for
its support in this section are seeking the CO.

facilities at the port and for legislative action
to secure a tax exemption on storage for the

very well that Japan intends to dominate the
Orient regardless of the rights and interests
NJ any other nation. The proof lies IN japan
actions, past and present.
Mr.. Matsuoka's desire to make this coun'
try responsible for the possible wreck OF mod
ern civilization is, however, somewhat e S
t~hreadbare. It is interesting to follow his ar
gument for that reason. He insists that since
Japan is firmly tied to the Axis. American
involvement in the war in Europe would force
his government to fight the United States. Inc
ensuing world struggle would be SO titanic
that everything would 60 to smash.
We have considerable doubt Of the accuracy
of this prediction, since civilization seems cap
able of surviving almost unbelievable strains.
But as to what would happen if the United
States were to follow the course MIR. Matsuoka
laws out there can be no doubt whatever, for
he would have this nation acquiesce to Hit
1er's new ORDER in Europe and Japan's new
order'' in Asia. To our mind, either or ootn
would be the negation of civilization.
Our choice lies between two evils. We can
either step aside under the threat Of Axis pow.
ers. including Japan, and thus virtually COM
NIT suicide, or we can refuse to be frightened.
DESPITE all its dangers, the second choice is
the only one possible to the American people.
