There are evidence? gathering tbat
many farmers* arc going U> venture
into the field of living at home this
year, by which i? mount that they are
wing to engage in the effort of trying
to produce at home much <?f the
food and foodstuffs that in the jxist
they have been purchasing ami relying
on cotton to pay the bill.
One of the valuable features of this
program U, that it also appears that
they are going to have in a measure
the hacking of bankers and merchants
who are beginning to feel that
their support is needed tp bring about
this desirable revolution in the method
of farming, Certainly the banks
and merchants cannot hope to fare
quite so well when the producers
of the products of the soil are steady
losers from year to year. Too much
of other business is dependent upyn
successful farming, and in the proj?ortion
that funning results in failure,
so there must l>e loss from other
business as well. ,J
It terms that it has been quite -uf
ficientiy demonstrated through a long
succession of years that t^ie uurrl av?
of food and feedstuffs for use upo': I
the farm instead of producing ,Uicm j
there, is a ..it tidy li.-ing pr.-posit i< n j

T M^t IM.iUc I- In The Bank
The following incident! reported h>
Vhe-WiolaaUuiiu-Mcssengfi and Inte!?.
Hgencer arc typhal of what hap|>en*
to people who take money out of the
banks and tr\ to keep it hidden
round the home; b\ ttie tune a few
more like thi^ are repotted, people
will find that the bank is the best
place tnv which to keep their money.
Says the Wadesboro paper:
"Some time In-fore Christmas I.. II.
I'rogdon, Seaboard tu'enl at Fee I>ee.
decided he had Utter get his money
into his own keeping, so he drew out
deposits which he had in several
banks, and then thieves proceeded to
relieve him of part of it. On Christmas
night the depot at Pee Dee was
broken into and $21 Hi belonging to
him was stolen. There was $-l(> in
silver and $2.r?o in $0 bills. Railroad
money nearby was not bothered.
"Officers \\ ( Manuuni ami Shorty

'in- next morning, but no dues were

PAY VOIR DEBTS
Many people arc taking advantage
of the financial depression by not
paying1 their debts. Some ace not
even trying to pay them'while otheis
caitiKit. It more Colics Would pay
their debts, business would be better.
It's like a link in a chain, one pay-,
Smother jmys. etc.
It's a sad 1 ct that people as a
rule are not a> prompt about paying
their honest obligations as thev
were ten or fifteen years aco. We
need more common everyday honesty.
The time is fast eoming when practically
all busine-ss that deals with
the public generally will be forced
to go on a cash l?asis. This might be
a good thing for bot'h merchant and
< u>U>mer.
Ask any retail groceryman who
has gone "broke." about his accounts
and see if he does not tell you that:
"Too much credit ruined iftin." It
will rum any business. No firm can
meet its obligations that does nvt
collect its accounts.
When we srn folks dressed fine,
riding in high priced cars, having
servants, radios and many luxuries
wo usually want to sec the books of
tiherir groetpTyman, church treasurer
and others to whom they might owe
honest obligations. ? Kuthenfordton
