Hertford County Herald e HERTFORD COUNTY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER A PAPER WORTH WHILE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN EASTERN CAROLINA ???? ? ?- ? Volume XIII. Eight Pages Ahoskie, North Carolina, Friday, June 2, 1922 One Section No. 5 BANKERS EN DORSE PEANUT EXCHANGE Prominent Banker* end Grow ers of Virginia Unqualifiedly Endorse the Move to Co-Op erate the Marketing of Pea nuts. r. Letters Received In dicate Their Approval The securing of one bank Presi dent's signature to the Growers Con tract by the President of another bank in the same Virginia town, the signing of the contract by another bank President and the unqualified endorsement of the Exchange ? in an open letter by the cashier of another bank during the past week, are some of the evidences that the Peanut Growers Exchange is gaining ground daily. To E. T. Holland, President of the Farmen Bank of Holland and Chair man of the Board of Stfpervisora of Nansemond County, himself a large grower, goes the honor of securing the signature of Dr. Job G. Holland, President of the Bank of Holland, farmers in Nansemond County. In Holland, Va., and one of the largest addition to securing the President of the other bank in his town Thursday afternoon, Mr. Holland also secured nine other growers, one of whom was B. D. Jones, a large grower and most influential man in his section. The other banker to sign last vpeek was W. P. Wilson of Rush more, Va., Presi dent of the Merchants and Farmers Bank of Smithfteld, Va., and one of! the largest growers in that whole sec tion. To E. E. West, a large and influential grower neighbor, goes the honor ef securing this, bank presi dent's signature. _ ] < Among those who attended the big rally in Suffolk on May 20th was L. E. Johnson, Cashier of the Bank of Dendron, and such an outstanding! business figure in his section that about two years ago when a large banking institution of Norfolk tried to j capture him by a most tempting offer, his own people showed how much they appreciated him by mak ing it to his interest to stay with them. What Mr. Johnson has to say of that meeting and his changed atti tude towards the Exchange, and the great principles of cooperative mar keting for which it stands, is worthy of consideration by peanut growers and business men in the peanut grow ing counties of Virginia and North Carolina: "It was my good fortune to attend the meeting of the Growers held at Suffolk on last Saturday. It was on that occasion that I witnessed the finest spirit I have seen exhibited by any people, for any cause. Such courage and determination, coupled .jwith the acknowledged conviction that the movement is a right and just one, can only result in a successful, and permanent organisation. While I have maintained a neutral attitude up to this time, I am now out-and-out for the Exchange and all it stands for. All the influence I have in this connection will be used to help make the greatest possible suc cess of this most worthy undertaking. Those who have heretofore pursued a "Watchful Waiting" attitude, are now ready to sign contract*. I per sonally know of 19 large and promi nent growers who have expressed their intention of lending all the in fluence they have to the movement All l-S- _? ? ?? ah interests snouia unite end put the Exchange "Over" as soon as pos sible. It will then be recognized as a factor, and the despicable methods of the competitive interests will be forc ed into the background. Once it is realized that the Exchange is an as sured success, confidence will be re stored in the future prosperity of the peanut growing counties." The endorsements of these bankers swells the number of bankers, who are now wholly committed to the Peanut Growers Exchange, which not only has five bank officials in its board of directors, but a number of other bank presidents and cashiers among its signers. It is because of the sup port the Exchange is receiving from leading business men and growers that it is confidently expected that several thousand growers will sign the Contract in the campaign far addi tional signers, which is now being put -en. .

Presenta tion Address Delivered by Mrs. Vann Chowan College?The Lucalian Lit erary Society Hall on Saturday even ing May 20, was the scene ofabeau tiful and impressive program- The occasion was the unveiling of a splendid art glass memorial window, the Arst of its kind known to'seventy four year old Chowan. The window, presented by the Lucalian Society of 1922, is a memorial to all the Lucal ians who has passed without their be loved society walls to reflect their light upon the world. On this particular evening the hall with its artistic statuary and hand some green velvet curtains, further decorated with potted plants, present ed an especially dignified and inviting appearance. The Lucalians, dressed in white, sat in a body. The program began with the college song after which the speaker for the occasion, Mrs. P. S. Vann, wife of the president of the college, was introduced by Miss Genevieve Taylor, president ex-offi cio of the society. "Out of the full ness of the heart the mouth speaketh," and Mrs. Vann spoke with interesting ardor. The following is an abstract of Mrs. Vann's address. " Madam President, Lucalians, Friends: "How many, many times in life we are forced to admit the inadequacy of mere words to express the deepest sentiments of the soul. Our hearts fill with emotion, and we learn when our tongues falter and our lips re fuse to say what we wish them to say, something of what Tennyson had in his heart whqp he wrote: " 'I would that my tongue could ut ter the thoughts that arise in me.' "Dear friends, one and all, this oc casion is one of those times. In old en times a memorial window was erected, by an idividual or an organi zation, as an emblem of the regard for and respect of the departed dead. In more modern, times a memorial window is erected to represent the principles and characters of an indi vidual order, or an organization, and is a symbol of events, hopes, aspira tions and achievements, not only of the past but of the present and future. So this beautiful memorial window, the gift of the members of the Lucal ian Society of 1922, stands not only as a memorial to the achievements of the past Lucalians but as an honor and glory to the activities of the present Lucalians, and a wonderful inspira tion and incentitive to all future Lu calians. This window with its beau tiful design, carries out in every de tail the symbols qnd emblems of the heart of the Lucalian Society. Its color scheme of green and white, society colors, its motto Phi Lamda Pi (We make light to shine) further emphacised by the lighted torch; the ; precious stones, emeralds and pearls, was originally designed by the Lucil ian Society of Chowan College, in the yqpr 1912, immediately after the death and burial of the old C. O. V. A. and P. N. A. Societies, together with their banners and emblems. "The Lucalians have been and are and will ever be, a worthy successor to those old and time honored Socie ties. Since organization many fair Lucalians have made the walls of the old hall ring with the eloquence of voice and many have been the de lightful occasions enjoyed here. May this emblem ever stand as a symbol of the love and unbreakable ties which exist mother Lucalian and her loyal loyal daughters. Now JLdlt the veil from off it, Let sonthern breeses kiss it, Let southern skies reflect it, Let loyal Lucalians love it. Let all Chowan daughters praise it, Let Alma Mater protect it. As long as time shall last!" At the signal the veil was lowered by Miss Mary Henry Lewis, dressed in green organdie, and Mlse Hilda Matt hews, dressed in white organdie. The chandelier was shut off as the room was flooded with soft colored lights j produced by an electrical arrange ment behind the window. There it stood in aH its splendor?the embod iment of all that Lucalians hold dear. The singing of the society song was a very effective closing of the pro -t. THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE ! TW1LGHT Or. Rankin Point* Out The Necessity and Desirability of a Balanced Diet and the D isad rentage* of the Prae Systen^y Which Should be Corrected BY DR. W. S. RANKIN There are at least 500,000 people in North Carolina who' pass a large part of their lives in that twilight zone between being really well and recog nizably sick. They are impaired in body and spirit by constipation that miscellaneous group of ills usually designated indigestion. Intelligent at tention to the food that is eaten would remove these people from the class in which they exist and elevate them to that group of the population which is really healthy and vigorous. But these are only a small part of the population of the State who suffer from mistakes of diet. Of the large number who each year are sick abed, and of the nearly thirty thousand who annually die, certainly most are the victims of a system of faulty nutri tion. ,"You cannot maintain an Al na tion with a C3 population," declared David Lloyd George, premier of Great Britain. And you cannot raise the standard, of the population without improving the diet. Here in North Carolina we are paying the penalty of having concentrated too heavily on meat and bread, and excluded milk and vegetables. The human body needs three kinds ] of food: fuel food, building or repair1 t food, and regulating food. It is very | much like an automobile engine, to do the best work it must have the right mixture and the proper quantity. Two essentials that must be present in the diet are a variety of mineral salts, as lime, iron and phosphorbus, and vitamines. These are found in abundance in milk^and in the green; vegetables which grow so readily in North Carolina soil. Tomatoes, cab bage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, let tuce, onions, parsnips, fresh peas, and both white and sweet potatoes are all rich in vitamines, and in addition con tain more or less the important min eral salts in a readily assimilable form, prepared by .Nature for human needs. Bulky foods are also necessary in order that the digestive system may property function, and the wastes of the body be eliminated. These are provided by the leafy vegetables, which therefore counteract constipa tion, giving adequate work to teeth, jaws, stomach and bowels. The time spent in making a garden and producing for the family tables the various vegetables on the farm or in the town, is a wise investment in the health of a family, and the "Live-at Home" policy advocated for the farm ers of North Carolina is not more im portant even from the economic stand point than from the standpoint of health and physical efficiency. o VIRGINIA BANKS AID PURCHASE PURE STOCK The banks of Charlottesville, Va., are cooperating with farmers of the 1 surrounding county in obtaining pure-' bred aires. According to reports re ceived by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, if a farmer will | sell his grade or scrub sires and pur-j chase pre-bred animals, the banks supply the necesary funds to cover the purchase of the pure-bred sire over' the amount received for the inferior animal. The loan js made on the basis of a year's time. Sentiment among bankers regard ing the use of pure-bred live stobk in practical farming operations ap pears to be growing more favorable, and the attitude of the Charlottes ville banks is evidence of this point. Pure-bred sires of good quality, as shown by information obtained by the Bureau of Animal Industry, increase the earning power of herds and flocks In which they are used. 0 ' The Biblical Recorder has declared that the use of its columns will here after be denied to Dr. William Louis Potest for the divulging of any of his views on evolution. COUNTY AGENTS AF TER BOLL1VEETIL County Agents Take Lead in Combating The Inroads of The Dreaded Cotton Pest? * Good Work Reported Beaufort and Onslow counties are going after the boll weevil, as shown from the following reports from agents in these two counties. "The south side of Beaufort County," writes B. T. Leppard, "was lightly infested with the boll weevil last tall. While the progressive farmers of this section have some idea of hojv much damage the boll weevil will do, the majority of the farmers ' have practically no conception re garding the ravages of the pest and means of meeting the trouble. . "Hence, I have been conducting a campaign in this section this week in an effort to get the farmers as well prepared as possible to make the nec essary adjustment I had O. F. Mc Crary, district agent, and Franklin Sherman, chief of the division of ento mology, and Miss Mildred Ohaver, home demonstration agent, working with me in the campaign. We held six meetings, and I fell sure that this small campaign has been a big factor in waking up the farmeia in the south side of the county to the impending D. L. Latham, of Onslow, says: trouble." ? "Mr. Franklin Sherman and hsi as sistants were here Saturday and we had' a boll weevil conference with about two hundred farmers present. Mucb interest was shoyn, and good will result from the meeting. Several farmers will dust their cotton this year as a demonstration. "We are striving to adjust our farm operations so as to feed our sehras and livestock first, and then grow all the cotton we can profit ably." 0 I ENGLISH LANGUAGE MOST VITAL TO WORLD Washington, D". C., June 1?Maur ice Donnay, French academician and savant, who has recently returned to his home country after a short visit in America, said: "When one sets foot in America he is confronted by the fact that our country has not yet comprehended how indispensable it is ,to study the English language. I assure you that I felt this inferiority from the first day. It is what struck me most. Our professors and notables of all kinds have gone to America and have been invited to universities and clubs. They must have remarked on this inferior ity. Why haven't they told us about it? "English is spoken in two-thirds of the civilized world. Why dont we speak it? What do we know of Eng lish literature? Who can read the masterpieces in the original? We must learn English. It is imperative and a patriotic necessity." Foreigners generally believe that English is a difficult language to ac quire. In its spelling, idioms and slang, its complicated grammar (which at that is less cumbersome than German or French grammar) and its enormous range in synoyms it undoubtedly is. But a speaking and writing familiarity with its funda mentals is not necessarily a life study. If evidence were needed to prove it, one S. Dabinsky, a Polish immigrant, can offer it. Mr. Dabinsky has been in this country one year. When he arrived he knew no English. The National Society of Colonial Dames has just awarded him its annual bronze medal for the best patriotic essay. . If a Polish immigrant can learn our language well enough in a year to i win a prize, it is obvious that English cannot be considered to present in- ( superable difficulties for the average 1 foreign student.
