Plow under a third of the railroads to

And it should not be tackled from the
angle of votes at elections.
GOSSIP
The man who stops another on the
highway and at the point of a gun robs
him of his purse, is a gentleman and a
prince of a fellow compared to the
gossip, who behind another's back,
robs him of his good name. It re-
quires some measure of courage to
step up to a man and face to face take
his property away from him, but the
lowest, most cowardly and craven
creature in the world can scatter gos-
sip about another and then wipe his
or her lips and step back into decent
society.
A WELL ROUNDED PUBLIC
SERVICE
Dwight Morrow of New
Senator
Jersey who died suddenly a few days |
ago, was one of the great men on the
screen of public life today. But he
moved across it quietly and so com-
pletely without ostentation that one
was hardly conscious of the role he
was playing in present day affairs. One
recognized his influential party status
but now only his public service is ap-
preciated and his value to the country
understood. There is nothing particu-
larly new, however, in those circum-
stances for men who have served
their country best have often hidden
their own light under the bushel of
modesty, and effacement. The number
of first-rate men is not so large that
Mr. Morrow's death can be other than
a loss.
DISCOURAGE THE PRACTICE
When a citizenship is disloyal and
does not purchase the same material,
or workmanship, at the same price, or
lower price, from the home manufac-
turer, in competition with the manu-
facturer or establishment, then sterner
methods must be pursued if the home
industry or the home establishment is
te receive fair treatment.

KLEIN IS MORE HOPEFUL
Julius Klein, assistant secretary of
commerce, thinks business conditions
show signs of improvement. He says
fall buying will do much to stimulate
business. His arguments sound rea-
sonable
Many merchants have
that the extreme warm weather has
interfered with seasonal buying, and
their complaint is well based. But it
is a fact that people connot refrain
from buying forever. Now that cooler
weather has arrived, and the autumnal
season is advancing, there is sure to
be more buying, all of which will
prove to be a stimulant to business.
Day by day there are signs of im-
provement. In fact, while progress
may seem slow, viewed from day to
day, there is progress in many ways,
and this can be realized as one looks
back over a longer period.
We hear much about getting back to
normal conditions, but there are few,
indeed if any, persons who know ex-
actly what normal conditions will be.
If any one has the idea it will be a
time of abnormally high prices in all
lines, he is likely to be mistaken.
That would not be a normal condition.
Business, to be healthful, must not be
above normal nor below normal. Too
many people, when referring to normal
conditions, mean times of high prices
for what they have to sell and low
prices for what they have to buy. This
condition will not exist. Such per-
are doomed to disappointment.

REAL SELFISHNESS
It has come to our attention time |
and again of late, of just what some!
men will resort to for gain. We'll take |
for example, that you employ ten men. |
Surely those men are all under cer-'
tain obligations to you but not to the |
extent that some people think. }
If you employ a man and he proves |
a faithful and efficient servant, is it |
fair and just that you should tell him!
where he may spend his money, what
he may do on the Sabbath, what
church or Sunday School he should |
attend, etc? Not by a jugful. |
Neither is it fair to tell a man or
woman what ticket they must vote or|
what particular candidates they must!
vote for. |
Yet we have such men right here in |
Mount Joy. They seem to think that |
inasmuch as they give a man employ-|
ment. they should own him body and |
soul i
In our estimation there can be no |
wrong in asking an employe to favor.
you but to make it compulsory is en-
tirely different. i
Our town and community would be
far better off without such selfish men
who think of nothing but their own
personal gain and forget about the |
other fellow. |

EGG LAYING CONTEST
POSTPONED TO NOV. 1
The opening of the First Official
Pennsylvania Egg Laying Contest
scheduled for October 1, has been
postponed until November 1, accord-
ing to an announcement from the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture. This decision was made Satur-
day, October 26, after a conference
with the executive committee of the
Pennsylvania Poultrymen’s Association.
The postponement was deemed ad-
visable because the buildings and
equipment, located near the Pennsyl-
vania Farm Show Building, Harris-
burg, were not sufficiently completed
to house the birds properly. In mak-
ing the announcement, officials pointed
out that a number of similar contests

September 23, 1932, as originally
scheduled.
The buildings will contain the very
latest facilities and will house between
90 and 100 pens of 13 birds each. More
than 60 applications for entry had been
received up to October 26. Applica-
tions will be accepted until the latter
part of October, or as long as pens are
available.

It isn’t difficult to learn what most people want
in a motor car. We all want pretty much the
same fine qualities —and we want them at a
price which makes the purchase of the car a
geod investment.
You will find this combination in the Pontiac —
that fine General Motors car. Thus, if it’s a

Even though you feel that most cars have satis-

smoothness with which Pontiac’s engine does
its work. We have not forgotten that a car’s
first job is to get you somewhere, pleasantly.
As you drive you will admire the quick pick-up
and power of the big, easy-working motor.
Immediately it will be clear to you why we are
so proud of that engine.
Whatever you do—braking, clutching, swinging
around corners—you will find you really enjoy
driving this Pontiac.
