Domestic growers have recently forrr.ed an organ'zatidn to offset further foreign encroachment on the American market, and to oppose the granting of any further tariff priv ileges to other nations. The United States consumes 6,- 000.000 tons of sugar a year, 60 per cent of which in the past has come from Cuba and the Philippines, ac cording to an authoritative state ment, and spends $350,000,000 an nually for fore'gn sugai* that could to produced at home. The danger of our not having an adequate domestic supply was brought out graphically by the war. The Cuban restriction is an ' 'ber example of the danger we are ington stands as a testimonial of the common human failing—carelesrj- ness. If everyone were careful in ad dressing mail, there would be little need for this branch cf the postof- fice department. More than two hundred million pieces of mail matted pass annually through the postoff ce improperly or carelessly addressed, and seventeen million, of these ultimatly go to the Dead Letter office. If there is such a loss in the post- dflTice department through careless ness, it is difficult to imagine what vast sums can be charged up against this besetting s*n of practically every individual Material loss through carelessness might he estimated, but what of the iitrepa^'able loss which affects the destiny of lives and souls? The careless deed or word that costs a life or causes human wreck age on the sea of life would prob ably have been left undone cr un said, if they had been g'ven more thought. Addressing mail carelessly or illegally is bad enough, but infinite ly worse is the careless act or words that lead to tragic results. X Profit Here At Home .Ing, and the power we have placed in foreign hands by giving them a pieferential tariff. Domestic production must be en couraged. Our tariff must not favor fcre'gn producers at the expense of our own citizens. It is necessary that through home production we place ourselves beyond the menace cf an other sugar shcUtage. A hom.e sugar industry is also a heavy local tax payer, which foreign sugar compan ies are not. txt Federal Aid For Roads In the years that have passed the people of this community have been swindled cut of thousands of dollars —money which left hei’e never to re turn, by tactics employed by the oily tongued strangers who have made their “proposition” look gilt-edged when it war. really a gold brick. Imagine, if you can, the prosper ous state in which this community would now be, if all of the money that has been invested in worthless stock, had been put back into this cdn.munity where it was earned and originated. A flush of indignation is the emo tion the average person experiences : The growth of the movement for good roads was sot in motion on July 11, 1916. when the law was ap proved by which the United states gavo its financial rupport to “aid the Stales in the construction of ru- lal pest reads, and for other pur pose?.” Prio;' to that date the Gov- einrr.ent had not given support to the States for hi ghways. The firs. Federal aid bill provided $5,000,000 for 1919. Uncle Sam thought he was going some at that. But the exper iment. was so popular that the ex penditures were .aised to $75,000,000 j for the year; 1920, and it has never gene, below that figure. (corrosive sublimate) and calomel, which should be applied at the rate of 3 ounces to 1000 squai'e feet. Cal omel does not give such good control of the disease, but the effect lasts longer in the sell, and a combined application of 1 ounce of mercury bichloride and 2 ounces of calomel seems to give very good control. Amounts of mercury compounds in excess cf these will injure the turf. The best way to apply tho me:cury is as a fine spray, watering the lawn afterwards. X Missing Connection the cert ificate will do for the futu:'e of I that church organization. It is within unemploy- the bounds o ? reason, to assume that ment situation does not seem to be the certificate of depos.t will provide quite as serious as it appeared a few at least the major pai t c>f the cost months ago.

A good way of visual'zing a les- tries during May. Outdoor Indus- so n in thrift is to make calculations trial activities continued to widen in | regarding the future value of that savings bank certificate. Notwithstanding all the improved means oij transportation and com munication we enjoy these days, there occur pi'etty regularly here and th-re distressing cases of pro duction overdone so far as to prove actually ruinous to the producer. The latest case to reach our attention is that of the potato growers in Eastern North Carolina, and presumably tch the north and south of that particul- dustrics ar region. iron News* comes that the potato crop this year is so bountiful as to pour that month, the department reports. The increased demand for farm help absorbed a largo number of unem ployed and expanding building oper ations in all sections of the country provided work for many additional sk'lled and unrk.lled laborers. Fav orable weather conditions, says the department, stimulated highway construction and increased railroad construction and maintenance of way activities. Plants and factories in the princi pal industrial centers I’eport fairly satisfactory operating schedules a. d employment oi their usual forces, al though in some, particularly the boot and shoe industry, there was a down ward trend due largely ta seasonal influences. Even if the amount is only $1,000 and it carries 4 per cent interest compcunded semi-annually, it w'll very nearly double itself within 15 years f- r it; value at the end of that period will be $1,811.36. By the end o: f 20 years, it will have increased more than 2.2 timer, the amount be ing $2208.01. Let us assume, however, that the certificate at the time of its deposit represent3il a cash deposit of $25,000. If it is allowed to remain in the box for 15 years, drawing interest at 4 per cent compounded semi-annually, it would amount to exactly $45,284. t while at the end of 20 years it will j W AftJTPjTIY have reached the sum of $55,201 LOST -0 " 6 big black pocketbook, containing something over $210.00, in the following denomina tions: One $100.00 bill, one $50.00 hill, two $20.00 bills, about tea $1.00 b Hs. two S5.00 gold pieces, and some small chang"; lost between Martha’s Chapel Church in the Fork section and McCormick on read via Cham berlain’s Mill Tuesday afternoon, June £G, 1928.

Cc-tto n farmers have again and again encountered the dead weight of an enormous surplus, as also have wheat and tobacco grow ers. In other fields of endeavor the same thing occurs—coal, copper, cotton goods and so cn. This failure to make intelligent connect'cn between production and demand prevents an ever more acute problem to sMve. The various farm relief schemes ere but proposed solutions of that prob lem. Probably it can never be solv'd with entire satisfaction, but a very considerable reduction cf the mere acute disasters of the sort is rcason- ment, with greatly increased forces at work.
