Rev. McLeod Bryan
To Preach Here Sunday
On Sunday, September 13, Rev. ■
In this great defense program
day, do we have a part? Can we help
in .the program.
Every right brings with it a duty.
Every benefit received calls for a
service in return.
Citizenship, then, has duties as well
as rights. He who receives but re
fuses to give is a parasite. But, he
who serves as well as receives service
is a good citizen.
The first obligation we have is to
obey the law whether we like or dis
like it. Our second duty is to respect
the law. Following this it certainly
behooves us to render civic service,
to answer a call to public service
whether it be small or large. Emer
son, .the great poet, wag at one time
a hogreeve in a town; Grover Cleve
land, a president, was a sheriff in a
county; “Teddy” Roosevelt,' another
president, was during his early career
a justice of the peace.
It is our privilege as good citizens
to be well informed on civic questions;
to take an interest in public prob
lems; to have a mind open to the
truth; to love our country more than
just on July the fourth, or just when
we are saluting the “Stars and
Stripes.”
Every day there are calls for de
votion, sacrifice, and service. We
cherish the pas.t; we believe in our
ideals; we have faith in the future.
An intelligent citizen thinks straight
an open-minded citizen is tolerant; a
courageous one dares to do his duty
regardless of personal consequences.
A good citizen is honest, trustworthy,
dependable, unselfish, cooperative,
pulls well in harness, carries his
share of the load and always does
his part, says Howard Copeland
Hill.
As necessary as the ideal side of
this question is, the concrete or prac
tical side awaits us, too. In our home,
school and community we must avoid
waste. Wastefulness, says an econom
ist, destroys the products of labor,
lessens wealth, lowers the standards
of living, and injures any community.
Calvin Coolidge said, “It is not what
is earned, but w'hat is saved which
measures the difference between suc
cess and failure.”
Let us fit ourselves for work. Let
us take care of our health. Let us be
satisfied with nothing less than mas
tery. Find out what needs doing.
When one realizes a need for a thing,
there is always action. Dishes would
never be washed if the housewife did
not see the need; wood would never be
cut by the woodsman if there were no
need of a fire or building material.
Form a habit of saving. Live below
the income. When Edward W. Bak
worked in a bakery for fifty cents a
week, he saved five cents a week.
Spend wisely. “Don’t give too much
for your whistle,
government bonds.
Do your part in the agricultural
world. “And he gave it for his opinion,
that whoever could make two ears of
corn, or two blades of grass to grow
upon a spot of ground where only one
grew before, would deserve better of
mankind, and do more essential serv
ice to his country than the whole
race of politicians put together,” said
Jonathan Swift.
What is the first requisite of a good
citizen in war times or peace? Let
Theodore Roosevelt speak out of the
past, for ’twas he who said, “The
first requisite of a good citizen in
this republic of ours is that he shall
be willing and able to pull his own
weight; that he shall not be a mere
passenger, but shall do his share in
the work that each generation of us
finds ready to hand.”
If that requisite be applied, if men
shall take it to heart, what a service
we_ as citizens can render. Let us
write service on our hearts—service
to your country and mine.
Co-Op Manager Tells
Farmers To Hold Cotton
they can get under these plans the
association’s direct-to-mill marketing
service. Under the Full Advance Pool
they are guaranteed of receiving just
as much as they could get, grade for
grade, under .the government loan.
“Offers, based on mill prices, will
be obtained by the association any
time a farmer wants a quotation.
But he doesn’t have to sell through
the association if he doesn’t want to.
As an actual fact, however, a good
many growers have learned that the
way to get better offers from local
buyers is to obtain quotations first
from the cotton association. Occasion
ally a local buyer will pay a dollar a
bale more, in which case the farmer
can get his cotton back and sell to
him. It is interesting .to note, however,
that records show the association
sells 85 out of 100 bales on which it
is asked for prices.
“The Cotton Association is able to
show this splendid record because
it
is a farmer-owned and farmer-con-
trolled organization with only one
purpose—to help the farmer get the
full value for his cotton.”
The following receiving agents and
warehouses have been appointed to
receive cotton in Johnston county:

FLAG
Transylvania County farmers, tak
ing advantage of the AAA fall seed
ing program, have signed for approxi
mately 15,000 pounds of crimson
clover seed this fall.
When families without telephones
in a Nebraska community want any
thing in town, they hang a red flag
on the gatepost or mailbox, and oblig
ing neighbors driving by will stop .to
pick up the order.

There are more reasons now than
at any time in several years why far
mers should hold their cotton for
higher prices, according to B. G.
Mattox, manager of the Cotton Grow
ers Co-operative Warehouse.
Pointing out tha.t mills are now us
ing up cotton at the rate of a million
bales a month, Mr. Mattox expressed
the opinion that increasing military
and civilian demands would result in
shortages in the better grades and
staples before another crop is planted.
He quoted a prediction by Senator
Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, vice-
chairman of the Senate agriculture
committee, that cotton probably will
go to 110 per cent of parity in 1943.
“There is every reason for farmers
to hold their cotton this fall,” Mr.
Mattox continued, “and we are glad
to say that our Cooperative Ware
house can offer the farmers in this
territory the financial as w'ell as
storage facilities for doing so.
“We can obtain the straight gov
ernment loan for those who want it
and we can also offer the advantages
of the North Carolina Cotton Grow
ers Cooperatives Association. Many
farmers will find that the associa
tion’s Re-purchase Pool and Full Ad
vance Pool are better suited to their
needs than the government loan as

A liberal advance on delivery of cotton to warehouse. As soon as your cotton
has been graded and stapled a check will be sent you for the balance due on
the basis of your true grades and stap les.
An offer on your cotton based on Mi 11 prices whenever you want it. Then you
can sell or hold, just as you wish. You can even use the Association’s price to
get a better offer out of a local buyer, and you are free to sell to anyone at any
time. But records show that local buyers seldom beat the prices obtained for
farmers by the Association.
5. Market information from the Assoc iation any time you ask for it.
6. Your choice of four different plans for financing and marketing cotton, each
designed to fit particular conditions a nd needs of farmers. There never has
been a fairer and squarer way to han die cotton than through the Association’s
Re-purchase Pool Plan.
Study carefully all the facts before you store or sell your cotton. Where else can you get
