perity for everybody ? especially ourselves in the South !
This bank is distributing a series of leaflets that tell how we can con
trol the boll weevil. They are based upon actual experience. We will
gladly give them to you free of charge. We want you to receive each
leaflet as it is distributed.
Leaflet No. 1 ? "The Boll Weevil Can Be Controlled."
This deals with the several stages and processes of control. It is so simply writ
ten a child can understand it. It shows the necessity of controlling the weeyilin its
early stages. Come in today ? whether you are a customer of this bank or not ?

One reason concrete is used so generally today In all
types of construction from sidewalks to highways,
from garages to enormous industrial plants, is the
fact that Portland Cement actually costs less than
It did thirty years ago.
The Atlas rotary kiln, dally producing as much as the
old-time kiln did in one month, was the greatest
single factor in assuring this cheapness.
And your building material dealer, the only dis
tributing channel between Atlas and you, assures
distribution economy. He knows building and
building materials. He can help you.

SCHLOSS NEWS
We were very glad to get the news
from Schloss In the TIMES last week.
Schloss has at last come out of Its
winter sleep.
There has not been very much plow
ing done around the town as so much
rain and snow has kept us Indoors.
Our school will have its closing ex
ercises Friday night, March 28th. The
public Is cordially Invited.
We have heard of corn shuckings,
and log rolling and cotton picking, and
quilting parties, but Scbloss has a new
one to introduce and that is the wood
sawing which is proving to be very
beneficial to Mr. J. E. Tharrington.
Rev. E. C. Sexton filled his regular
appointment at Mt. Grove the 3rd Sun.
day. Bro. Sexton is a very able preach
er and a man of God.
Those who attended the wood saw
ing Saturday night at Mr. J. E. Thar
rlngton's were Messrs. J. W. Smith,
St. Peller Collier, Capt. Jack Collier,
and Buddie Collier.
If this escapes the waste basket I
will assure you that Jack Sparrow and

THE OLD HOME PAPER.
Sometimes the resident of tr commu
nity does not value the home paper
as highly as does the man or woman
who has moved away. There is a
short poem which though anonymous
has been going the rounds of papers
in other sections of the country for
several years and explains the feel
ing of the reader who has moved away
from home. We would like for every
reader of the FRANKLIN TIMES to
read this little message of apprecia
tion. It follows:
It's printed old-fashioned and homely,
Bearing name of a small country town
With an unfeigned sneer at its wrap
per queer,
The postman, in scorn, throws it down.
But I scan every line that It offers.
Each item brings something to view,
Through the vista of years, through
youth's pleasure and fears,
It serves their keen touch to renew.
(The death of the girl I once courted,
| The growth of a Arm I once Jeered,
The rise of a friend I love to commend,
The fall of a man I revered.
As I read I drift dreamily backward
To the days when to live was a Joy,
I think and I pore, till the city's dull
roar
Grows faint and again I'm a boy.
Rare perfume of green country byways
Fair music of flowers and beeB,
And the quaint little town with the
streets leading down
To the creek and the low .bending
trees.
Around me the forms of my comrades,
About us earth's glories unfurled,
Each heart undefiled, with the faith of
a child,
Looking forth to a place in the world.
And the paper tolls how all have pros
pered,
I follow their lives as they flow.
Applauding each gain and regretting
each pain
For the sake of the days long ago.
Above all the huge city dailies
With ponderous utterance wise,
This scant page hath power to spread
for an hour
A fairyland sweet to my eyes!

Agent of New Hanover County, re
