That difference, reduced to the simplest terms in which the Presi dent expressed it, is that democra cy alone of all of them is founded upon religion. If that is not in stantly clear, consider it for a moment. We who believe in religion be lieve that all men are equal in the sight of God and that every hu man kml is capable of choice, of reason, of developing and perfect ing himself in the image' of the Divine ideal. On that belief was our democracy founded, and in that belief it must persist, or it will perish. The philosophy of Communism is that man is the product of eco nomic forces. The Nazi doctrine is that the‘only people entitled to exist in the state are those of a particular blood strain. Totally different is the demo cratic philosophy that every hu- m^n being partakes in some measure of Divinity and that the goal of his life is not to live and labor and die under the lash of authority, but to strive for self- perfection. In a society so organized on the democratic philosophy, the final authority is the moral principles based upon the Ten Command ments cf Judaism and the Golden Rule in which Jesus summarized the law and the teaching of the prophets. As William Penn said, men must be governed by God or they will be governed by tyrants. Those are some of the implica tions of Mr. Roosevelt’s first mes sage to the new Congress. It is no wonder that in nations such as Germany, Japan, Italy and Russia, where the exactly opposite view rules, official spokesmen denoun ced his speech as significant of hostility to themselves. America is not hostile to the people cf any nation in the world. It is definitely hostile to the ideas and principles upon which many nations are being governed today, and to the false prophets who have led their people into sub servience. xx Local Furniture Mer chant In High Point Reviews Displays Of Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, Jan. 24.—Camp Dradley basket ball team defeated McCormick “Bchunks” Wednesday night on the De la Howe court, the score being 47 to 44.

IP fWt * mmi m mm km ■ m That’s what R. F. ELLIS says about his Cotton, Tomatoes and Strawberries, Top-dressed with NV Muriate of Potash nil MRS. MARTHA E. ELLIS, Orrvllle, Ala., widowed when her son, R. F. Ellis, was three years old, did a fine, man’s-size job of running the farm and raising' a son. Despite her accomplishments, Mrs. Ellis contends that the farm is in better con dition now that her son has grown up to be the boss. R. F. Ellis is d hustler, alert and eager to try new and more profitable methods of crop production. He says: “Three years ago, all of my to matoes died of wilt and my strawberries were not firm. I decided to try a heavy ap plication of NV MURIATE OF POTASH and applied 175 pounds per acre. Only about one-fourth of my tomato^ wilted and many folks remarked about the high quality of my strawberries, which were the best and firmest I ever had. “My last cotton crop was the best I have ever produced and I attribute this largely to extra potash. At planting I used 4-10-7 fertilizer at 350 pounds per acre and later top-dressed with 50 to 75 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POTASH. I made 150 bales on 127 acres.” V. .\ .•■V.V.-y**yiv.

My cotton received 600 pounds of fertilizer containing 6% POTASH and 100 pounds of 12-0-20 top-dresser per acre. A lot of cotton in this section suffered from Rust, but mine did not. In 1937 I won first prize in our district in the state five-acre cotton contest.” ...says MR. MURRAY A. C. MURRAY, Fort Valley, Ga., says: “I can take red land and plenty of potash and make cotton any year. Last season was bad, yet I produced 1,800 pounds of seed cotton per acre on 26 acres. This was fertilized with 4-10-6 and top-dressed with 300 pounds of 9-0-12 per acre. My corn got cottonseed meal, acid phosphate and kainit at planting, was top-dressed with 9-0-25 and pro duced 50 bushels per acre on 80 acres.
