NEWSPAPER FREEDOM
In a case recently appearing in a
court of law in a Northern state in which
a newspaper would be estopped from re-
ceiving ads because pressure groups
thought such ads were not for the welfare
of the public in that they advertised beer
and liquor, the newspaper won out on the
grounds it was an intrusion into the rights
of a newspaper. It argued that the right
to say what should be advertised by a
newspaper also carried with it the right
to say what should not be advertised.
In other words, by such a mandate
which would deny the newspaper the right
to choose who should advertise with them,
by the same token could force a newspaper
to print or advertise articles or run a type
ol' news which the paper did not consider
suitable to his idea of editorship.
There are certain churchmen who
sign petitions to prevent a newspaper from
taking liquor ads. We are not holding a
brief for liquor nor any intoxicating drink.
We do hold, however, that for a court to
order, or a law be passed to prohibit a
newspaper from taking such ads, is an in-
trusion into the liberty and freedom of the
press.
If a law may be passed to prevent li-
quor or beer or patent medicine (as one
vice-president of the U. S. suggested) then
the door has been opened and a precedent
Set which could lead to more and more
control of the press by the state or federal
government.
When newspaper men take a stand
against this intrusion into the business of
advertising in a newspaper, they do so
not for reasons of the money received from
such advertising, but for the sole reason
of the intrusion it makes, and the prece-
dent it sets in doing away with the free-
dom of newspapers.
When the newspaper is placed under
control of the federal or state government
it will not be long until the church and
schools and other American institutions are
placed under some form of artificial ban.
Pick Beans Young for Top
Quality and High Yield
The stand the national commander of
the American Legion takes in urging the
Legion organizations over the country to
take the lead in asking a resurgence in re-
ligious life and a general church atten-
dance on a regular scale, will come as a
refreshing thing to those who love our
country and the church. The appeal is
made that unless we do turn back to the
church there is not much hope to maintain
the principles for which America stands.

Keep Beans Picked Before Seeds Have Begun to Form.
When the Gladewater Mirror sprung
the news that the city's funds had been
spent on a loose scale in purchasing a hos-
pital at a price far in excess of its value,
it started something in the way of rattling
old bones. Always there will come a
reckoning day when funds are handled
loosely. One administration may wink at
it, but another will arise that will demand
a rigid checking of all things. That's why
regular auditing should be made of all
public funds. Also the law governing
spending of public money which calls for
details of the transaction to be> published
in newspapers, will serve as a check in fa-
vor of the people.
The Low Down
From Hickory Grove
• •
We can do more fool things in
this land of the free, than any-
body in his right mind could con-
jure up. What we really need is
an iron curtain. We are so busy
helping out—north pole to south
pole—that our own home roost is
needing attention and an ailing.
As we go all-out to quarantine
communism, we hardly notico the
same disease creeping in upon us.
It is in a milder form—it is so-
cialism, the early symptom of
what is next. And that is where
.he iron curtain comes in. With
less foreign ga.b to bother us we
Do you know beans? It pays a
home gardener to know some facts
about this nutritious food crop,
which yields more food for the
space occupied than most other
vegetables, and which he can eat
at their most delic.ious stage, just
before the seeds have begun to
form, I,
11 pods are kept picked so that
seed is never matured, the plants
will continue to bear as long as
they remain vigorous and green.
So almost twice as large a yield
can be enjoyed, if all pods are
harvested when they are at their
best, for cooking, canning or freez-
ing.
Snap beans are of tropical origin,
easily killed by frost, and the seed
should not be sown until the ground
warms up and the danger of frost
is over. There are varieties that
grow on vines and those that grow
on bushes. While the vines bear
more heavily, the bush beans have
been so improved by plant breed-
ers, that most gardeners prefer
them. ,
New varieties are being intro-
duced so fast, it might be said
there is an improved model every
year.
The first big improvement—years
ago—was to breed out the string.
Some folks still ask for "string
beans," like grandmother used to
cook, after laboriously removing
the strings.
Quality snap beans this year have
pods six inches or longer, straight,
round, filled with tender flesh.
Wax and green beans differ chief-
ly in Color; they are about equal
in vitamin content and food value,
and the taste is similar. But many
gardeners consider that wax beans
are more tender.
One warning concerning their
cultivation is not to work the patch
while the leaves of the beans are
wet, either with dew or from rain.
It may spread disease.
Pole beans are the heaviest yield-
ers of the family. They are later
in season and more tender to cold
than bush beans. They should not
be planted until the weather is set-
tled and the ground warm. They
must be provided with wire or cord
to climb, and planted at least six
inches apart. Be sure to enrich the
soil for beans by applying at least
four pounds of plant food for each
100 feet of row.
