Enemy OF The World
1 pledge allegiance to my flag
And to the world for which it stands,
One planet indivisible,
With liberty and Justice for all.


With liberty and justice for all.
To reach a solution where the people of
all nations might repeat that pledge to-
gether seems to be the broad aim of the
present day. 1t has probably been a gene
raj aim of humanity ever since mankind
first inhabited the earth.
Now with the world at war, the hope
of mankind u.s. as it has been in all major
wars Of the past, that this will be the war
to end wars.
AS each nation in the world becomes
more and more international in its trading
and in it's thinking, most every nation
agrees that it's welfare depends upon the
welfare and activities of other nations
There are many in America who would
like to build a wall around our country and
forget the rest of the world. But without
considering the arguments for and against
such an isolation:st policy, all of us now
realize that our government is pledged to
a policy of internationalisn. Whether we
like it or not, our interests have been
Asia, South America and Africa. And our
nations leaders are trying to envision a
League of Nations, stronger than anything
dreamed of in the past, which after the war
will lead all countries to work together
under government of the world.
It may not be in the lifetime of any of
us now living that such solution will be-
come an actuality. But it is good food for
dreams The trouble is that wars, while
they breed friendships between allies, at
the same time deepen the enmity between
one another.
When Orson Welles frightened thousands
of people with his radio dramatization of
an invasion by the people of the planet
Mars, he perhaps limited at the solution.
If the world had common enemy-an enc
my that demanded the uniting of all ma
tons on the globe to defeat it-that would
bring about the world solidarity being
sought
But perhaps some day we can agree that
war itself is the enemy of the whole world
and unite in a crusade of all nations tc
drive it from the face of the earth.

The other night man was cal
ling on a next door neighbor and
became involved in a long con-
versation. After a while he ex-
planned this by saying. Il don't
know why but 1 feel wound up
tonight" eyes you are, but some
how you never seem to CO." his
neighbor replied.
This is true of many people
which is one reason why they
never accomplish what they hope
| to.
Picnic Time
Picnic time is here again and
people are taking advantage Of
the picnic grounds in this section.
On Sunday there were hundreds
of people at Bluff Park in large
and small groups.
Among the others were the
members of the Jefferson Odd
Fellows lodge and their families.
This was a most enjoyable occa-
sion, too.
In addition to the regular pic
mic foods this group had freshly
fried sea trout and hamburgers.
The grills for frying are on the
grounds but parties must bring
pans. Odd wasn't it, but the Odd
Fellows forgot the pans and they
did not quite see how it was to
be done, but the CCC came to
their rescue.
Young Odd Fellows got as much
enjoyment out of the occasion as
their elders. Buddy Blackburn,
Nancy Parker and many other
children were present and did not
miss a trick.
AShe Gas
Gas will soon become a prob
lem in Ashe and elsewhere from
present indications. Many service
station operators declare that they
like the blackout hours.
Lester Huddler, from Glendale
Springs said he did one of the
most rushing days businesses on
Sunday that he has ever exper-
fenced. He remarked that he was
expecting motorists to have ra-
ton cards in the near future. He
added that he saw motorist car
rying some buggy wheels on his
car the other day. 1T may be that
he was preparing for an emergen-
cy," he said. This columnist could
do a lot more casing about gas,
but what we need is less talk and
more gas.
A New Twist to Eggs
C. w. Spaulding, of Oval, has
Bard Rock hen which offers
proof that there is even new
crook and turn to eggs. He
brought one in to the office OF
The Post the other day which is
very much twisted and turned.
1t is much smaller than the aver
age egg, too. This oddity is now
on display in The Skyland Pest.
Dahlias In Triplets
Billy Francis, young son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Raymond Francis, who
heard about the twin dahlias on
display in the window of The Post
was more than delighted the 9TH
er day when he found a triplet,
so to speak, or three perfect bios
SONS, back to back.
Another oddly in the Francis
family was the fact that Anne,
who is only eight years old baked
a most delicious apple pie with
out help from anyone. But then
Anne has every right to have in
herited ability in housekeeping
and cooking.
Flowers and Flowers
This week j. P. Goodman, of
West Jefferson, brought in a col
lection of superior Picardy gladi-
oil, which offer proof that no finer
flowers can be found anywhere.
The glads which Mr.. Goodman
brought in are in watermelon
pink, but he has them in all CO.

Young Milton Briggs, who had
ridden only one stake race before,
was assigned to Watch Over shortly
before post time, replacing Walter
Taylor, who was suspended indefi-
nitely after the fourth race In that
race, Taylor rode the favored Burgoo
Dinner, which finished third.
Carrying top weight of 1l6 pounds,
Watch Over went to the front right
after the start and stayed there.
Jockey Briggs said that he did not
have to touch him with his whip,
instead urging him along by
shouting.
The King Ranch'S Itabo ran sec
ond for time. but was overtaken
by the late rush of Red Vulcan,
which cut Watch Overs lead in the
home stretch from almost three
lengths to a neck.
Mrs. H. G. Goods Votum also came
fast near the end to gain third posi-
ton as Itabo wound up last in the

Market Wise, Choice,
Runs FIashy Race
For Place Coin
Carrying Top Impost,
Comes From Eighth
After Slow Sturt
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAVRE DE GRACE. Md. Sept.
20-Mrs. H. Teller Archibald's Bos-
ton Man. beaten favorite in his
last start here, effected a mild upset
today when he raced to victory in
the 23d running of the Potomac
Handicap.
Boston Man came to the wire a
length and half to the fore of
the favored Market Wise, which ran
a magnificent race to land the
place after breaking last in the field
OF 10 3-year-olds.
Market Wise made great
ground-gaining surge from eighth
place under severe punishment from
George Woolf but found the task
too great to accomplish under his
to pimpost of 120 pounds. Third
money went to the lightly regarded
Cape Cod.
He was four lengths back of
Market Wise and a neck to the
good on Cis Marion.
Boston Man Wins $500.
The Potomac is the lone Swear
old special on the Havre de Grace
fall stakes calendar and Boston
Man earned top money of $4,000
The bay son of Bostonian and
Candy Man was one of the light
weights in the field under 109
pounds and negotiated the l lis
miles over a lightning fast track
IN 14545.
Almost perfect fall weather
brought out an overflow crowd of
1900 and it made Market Wise,
poSseSsOr of a string of stake tri-
umphS. a solid choice.
Boston Man had a fair share of
