Francisco, Jan. 1. Mr. Editor: Liquor has come in a big way, I suppose. But. boys, why can't you say "No," just once in a while when the bottle goes around. And old men, whose wives and children are at home in want, ser ious want, need Med Cross help, arc seen out drunk. Drunkenness is degrading. You have to live with yourself and so, why can't you be fit for yourself to know? Boys and girls, how about a present for dad and mother? I hear somebody say: "I've got to get my sweetheart a present and that is all I can do." "But, sister, you can get anoth er sweetheart, but there's only one mother the wide world over. Please don't forget her. I always gave my mother something if it was only an apron or handker chief or maybe a bit of extra cooking and I know every little thing was appreciated. Maybe I'm preaching folks, (memories are all I have now), and I'm hap py to think of everything I ever did to brighten her life. Let's don't wait until after she's dead to give flowers. J.

Contracts for slightly more than twelve hundred Stokes to bacco growers have passed through or come into the office of I the County Agent. This repre-1 sents approximately three-fourths of the land owning tobacco grow ers in the county. In several sec tions of the county practically every grower has already signed an Acreage Adjustment Contract with the government. NON-SIGNERS HURT PRICE I It has been the hope of those in charge of the campaign in the State that growers of flue-cured tobacco would sign contracts pri or to the date of the re-opening of the tobacco warehouses on January Bth. Such action on the part of tobacco growers undcubt ly would have a very wholesome effect on the price paid for to- I bacco during fie remainder o," the marketing season. The belief is held by many, that every per ' son who either fai's or lefuses to sign a contract before January s will contribute his part toward pulling down the price of tobacco. | In Stokes the per centage sign-up is encouraging. The per centage of the growers signed here ranks^ Number 3,909 W. F. BOWLES HARDWARE STORE AND T. D. MEADOR GROCERY COMPANY ARE THE LOSERS WINSTON SALEM FIRE CHIEF AND ONE OF THE C. C. C. BOYS INJURED BY FALLING WALL —AMPLE INSURANCE WAS CARRIED—ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN. One of the worst (ires in the history of Walnut Cove occurred Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock when the substantial brick build ing of W. F. Bowles went up in flames. The hardware stock of W. F. Bowles and the grocery stock of T. D. Meador Grocery Co., which occupied the building, were con sumed. Assistant Chief of the Winston- Salem fire department together with five of the C. C. C. boys, who were fighting the flames, were injured, more or less ser iously by a falling wall. The fire chief and one of the camp boyj were carried to a Winston-Salem hospital for treatment of their in juries. Immediately after the alarm was given, about 2:30 o'clixk, help was summoned from Win ston-Salem, and one of the Twin City fire companies quickly re sponded, reaching the scane in 20 minutes. The blaze was first discovered in the rear of W. F. Bowles* hard ware store. It quickly spread un til the whole building was wrapp ed in flames. It is not known definitely the amount of insurance carried by the losers, but reports are to this effect that the building and both stocks of goods were reasonably well protected. W. F. Bowles carried a full line of hardware and house furnish ings, while the T. D. Meador Gro cery Co. was heavily stocked with groceries. The origin of the fire is un known. as high as that for the Belt. The time has arrived when the campaign should be over. Growers have been assured that they would receive the land rental checks by Febru'. y 15, 1934, pro vided their co' .racts reached the Washington office in time to per mit this. Then also, to continue to drag this work out into the New Year will not only postpone other activities which should claim our attention, but also will add to the expense of the tobac co work. Tho work must be com plete;! at an early date. Every man who is now eligible to sign the tobacco contract to ad just hia acreage in compliance with the government plan and aid in the boosting both the price and the total income of the tobacco crop either fails or refuses to do so, will be for years to come try ing to explain to his more than twelve hundred neighbors who al ready signed, why he did not stand by them.
