TAKE NO CHANCES
You can hardly pick up a paper
but what you read ot some store,
or home, having been robbed, and
In this day of quick get-away with
automobiles you rarely hear of any
Of the guilty being captured. We
want to warn our country friends
not to carry their money home and
keep it about the house, for there
are too many stragglers, just waiting
for an opportunity; and further,
the man who comes in your home
to rob you will not stop short of
murder if it is necessary to accom
plish his purpose.
Why take any chances? Possibly
you lost money in some of the bank
closings, and do not have any too
much love for banks as a general
run, but remember, every dollar de
posited in your bank in Roxboro is
guaranteed up to $5,000 by the Un
ited States government/and you can
not lose no difference what hap
pens to the bank. Should the
bank happen to get in a tight place
you can go theqe and get your
money, if it is not in excess of
$5,000, and get every penny you
have in it, without cost or worry, for
Uncle Sam has guaranteed it. And.
may we say by way of parenthesis,
that this is not an advertisement:
for the Peoples Bank, as they know,
?nothing about what we are writing,
in fact you all know that we do not
oonsult'any one as .to, what we say
in this' tolumfi: . ?
Take our advice and put your
money in the bank, do not carry it
home and take chances of having
it stolen.
HOW VERY PLEASANT 1
How pleasant it Is to dwell to-!
gether In love and harmony, and
that thought is brought about "by |
the splendid way the farmers of
-ths good County and Roxboro are
working together at this time. Dur
ing all of our fifty years spent in
this good town we have never known
such a feeling of friendship as is
manifested here dally at this time;
the farmer is patronizing his home
market, the buyers and warehouse
men are exerting their utmost ef
forts in trying to serve them, and
and the merchants of Roxboro are
meeting every demand placed upon
them, seeing that- they carry Just
the thing you want, and price it in
keeping with what the, same goods
can be purchased anywhere, in fact
they are making catalog lywses^llve
hard, and are getting many cktliars
which in the past have- gone else
where, ? ?
That there have beeh prejudices
In the past, most occasioned by mis
I
taken acts on the part of both town
and county;'All will admit, but today
all seem to realize that what helps
one helps the other, and the result
is there are going to be many dol
lars circulating in this section which
heretofore have helped enrich other
sections. The co-operation which
we have today is going to mean
much for the County, as well a# the
town, and a few years of, such work
will tell in the-'improvementa on all
sides; aside from the value In dol
lars and cents. It will so knit us
together that any outsider who
might happen along and attempt to
create any rupture will find he has
come to the wrong place and will
soon make "himself scarce In our
midst.
o-l 1 1* ?""*
I We are proud of the civic clubs
of Roxboro, for ttjiey have meant
much to us. If we mistake not the
first of the kin^iere was the Wo
man's club, and no one can tell
the great things this club has ac
complished; then came the Rotary
club, whiclvin turn was followed by
the X.wants club. The last named
has been here cnly a few months,
but Is already beginning to make a
j place for Itself, while the Rotary has
been here more than ten years, and
to this club we give much credit for
the good fellowship existing today
! between the town and cfltrotry-. For
a number of years, the classification
of farmer in the Rotary was not
-filled, but several months since the
'club gladly welcomed as a member
Mr. Claude Half, and now another
good countryman has come in. Mr.
Dan L. Whitfield of Hurdle Mills.
These two gentlemen will mean
much to Rotary and we are con
vinced their efforts will do much to
solidfy that spirit of goodwill
between the town and country.
In electing our good friend, Rev. J.
P. Herbert, president of the Kiwan
j ians, the club not only honored Mr.
Herbert but it more highly honored
itself. He has been, and isf a power
for righteousness and all good and
'worthy efforts In this community,
[and but for one of the rules of the
i Methodist conference?that fbur
, year rule?we dare say Mr. Herbert
would be one of our fixtures, cer
tainly he would be if the vote was
rleft to this office. .
? o ??
By all means let's grab it quick.
.In another,column will be found an
article from our Jalong correspond
ent who wants Roxboro to'take
iover a team from Jalong and call
jit "Roxboro." Good suggestion, all
that is asked is that we furnish the
jboys with uniforms and some small
expens?a, which will naturally ac
crue, "and this we can well afford,
for a good ball team will mean,
much for the fans, and give us
somewhere to spend some pleasant
afternoons. Somebody start the ball
to rolling, we will do our part.
CENTRAL GRADED
SCHOOL NEWS
The splendid opening of Roxboro
Central graded school seems to have
been a real lnsiplration. The school
was organized with unusual ease
and is operating in a progressive
way. The entire system, regardless
of crowded conditions, is working in
a cooperative style.
The P. T. A. had its first meet
ing Sept. 18. The devotional num
ber of this meeting was given by
Miss Hattie Burch in a most im
pressive manner. The second num
ber "Why Have a P. T. A.?" given
by Mrs. W. P. West, was so effec
tively given, that it was a second
feast of the ^meeting. Such pro
grams will certainly increase the
interest of the large attendance.
Miss Maude Montague's third
grade won the P. T. A. banner for
having the greatest number of par
ents present.
Miss Inda Collins has been in
charge of the chapel exercises on
Thursday mornings and has sug
gested such worthwhile thoughts as
Psalm 19?Keep mouth and heart
clean and pure. Psalm 1-vTteep mind
on good things; pick outcome good
in a person and copy thereafter.
On Monday morningf Oat. lj Mr.
J. P. Herbert conducted chapel de
i vetional exercises^ He talked of the
friendship of Jesus and Zacchaeus.
and of His strong friendship to us.
His warning to "{He school children
was, not to be two-faced, but to
cultivate the habit of making others
happier.
Oct. 8 Mr. J. C. McGregor brought
the stOTy of Naaman. Even though
Naaman was efficient, obedient and
a man of valor and otherwise ac
complished. he was a leper and
j suffered the loss of his usefulness.
"The children were urged not to let
petty traits cause them to lose
their usefulness. ThP listed traits
wt-re laziness, dishonesty and tell
ing falsehood. Our visiting minis
ters always bring helpful and ap
' pTeciatlve messages.
It will be greatly appreciated if
all parents will prepare a lunch for
their-children on rainy days. This
will avoid the rush home, probable
, tardies and allow them to stay at
school, keep dry. thereby preventing
much sickness and they will have
plenty of time to eat.
Parents will please notice that
the tardy bell rings at 8:40, which
; is five minutes earlier than in pre
vious years. We have noted mapy
tardies. Perhaps this Is the reason,
Everyone will appreciate ah cooper
ation given In this matter that every
one arrives oh time. .
The first months of school brought
an evening of great pleasure to
teachers when they were so gra
ciously entertained 'at dinner by the
Rotarlans. This annual occasion Is
always looked forward to.
o
MEETING AND
ALLQTMT CARDS
By H. K. Sanders
At present the interest of farm
ers centers around their tobacco
crop, the good price that it is bring-.
ing, and their marketing and allot
ment cards. We have the follow
ing suggestions to make in connec
tion with the cards:
1. Check every entry on your
card at. warehouse. It is much
easier fof the Field Agents to cor
rect an error immediately, if In the
rush they should make a mistake
on your card. They will be glad to
correct apy error that you find.
2. .Check your warehouse bills,
especially If you have turned a tag.
3. Keep your record books. Enter
each and every sale made by any
!one on your farm. Be sure to make
a record of the nuriiber of pounds
sold, amount received for each sale,
date of sgle and the name of the
warehouse.
4. Check addition of pounds on
warehouse sales slip before present
ing card for your check.
5. After you receive your check,
see that correct entries have been
made on your allotment card.
6. Copy the information on each1
allotment card into a record book
as your sales are made. This Infor
mation will be very valuable in case
the allotment card is lost and you
have to get a duplicate.

Short Sermons
By Joe B. Currin
JESUS IN AGONY
When he had taken the eleven
disciples with him into Gethsamene
Jesus said to them, "My soul is ex- j
ceeding sorrowful, even unto death." ?
And there he sweat as it were great
drops of blood, his soul being in
great agony.
It was difficult for him to face bis
suffering. We miss the point if we
pass it up by saying he was divine
and therefore found to easy to sub
mit; it was difficult. He cried unto
the Father that if it were possible
to let that cup?that suffering and
agony?pass from him.
! While on the cross he -cried out,
"My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?" All of this agony of
soul in' addition to his physical
suffering!
Why was it necessary for the
blessed Son of God who knew no
sin thus to suffer? For the answer
to this question we have only to
turn to Isaiah 53:6. "All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have
'turned everyone to his own way;
land the Lord hath laid on him the
[iniquity of all."
For an idea of the meaning of
! this statement let us turq to his
words concerning Dfves and Laza
t ruS. Dives died and was buried and
in hell lifted up his eyes being in
^hrment. Then he begged for that
poor man who before had lain at
his gate fuH of sores desiring to bie
fed with the crumbs that fell from
the table to be allowed to come and
merely dip his finger in water to cool
his parching tongue. But he was
told that could not be for there was
a great gulf separating them that
could not be crossed. In other words
he was out of reach of mercy.
In like manner at the crucifixion
the Father is withdrawing his mer
cy from Jesus. He sent angels to
minister to him when he was tempt
ed in the wilderness but he is
sending no nagels now. He sent
Moses and Elijah to talk with him
on the Mountain of Transfiguration
but Moses and Elijah are not sint
now. The Father is withdrawing his
mercy fr^m the Savior that he may
not have: to withdraw it from us in
eternity.
Such love on the part of" Jesus
Christ should strike a cord of ap
preciation in evey human heart, and
that appreciation should express It
self in humble trust and obedience.
Matt. 26:17.
Ruth Reads Himself Out
Of Loop As Ball Player
Bamhtna Announces He b Willing
To Manage Some Major League
OutfU Bot Will Not Sit On
Bench Aa Pinch-Hitter
t Detroit, Oct. 8.?Dynamic, colorful
Babe Ruth, the' biggest drawing
'card baseball has known, read him
self out of the game as a player
today, but said he would be delight
ed to sign yrith some major league
club as manager.
"I want to remain in baseball,"
Ruth, here-for the world series, said
? teday, "but I will not sign a players'
contract next year with any club.
"I have no Intention of sitting on
the bench or being around merely
: for pinch-hitting purposes. That
doesn't appeal to me at all." _
No Job in Mind.
Then, to make it clear that he
wasn't talking about any particular
club, he added:
"I havertt had an offer to, take
hold of any club, nor have T any
thing definite in mind as to where
I might land if I left the Yankees,
but I have made up my mind as to
what I want to do, if there is any
future for me in the big leagues."
He also made it clear there isn't
any serious ,prospect that he might
supplant Joe McCarthy as manager
Of the Yankees next season.
"To avoid any misunderstand
ings," he said in a formal statement,
"here's what happened. Before leav
ing -New York I had a meeting with
Colonel Ruppert a"nd asked: 'Col
onel, are you satisfied with Mc
Carthy for next year?'
"The colonel replied that he was
and I said, "That suits me?that's all
T wanted to know."
\"j did not say that it was a case
| of McCarthy or me.
"This much is certain?I want to
remain in baseball but X will not sign
! a player's contract next year with
any club. #
i "In view of Colonel Ruppert's de
i cision. I wil make my plans ac
cordingly.
The fact that McCarthy's three
year contract as manager of the
r
Mighty Babe Quits
'
Yankees still has a year to run Is
one very effective barrier to Ruth's
jwell known ambition to pilot the
club wfth^ which he gained fame?
and a fortune. A .year ago, the
Bambina turned down the offer of
' Colonel Ruppert, owner of the
! Yanks, to manage the Newark Bears,
ja Yankee farm.
| Ruth played in 125 games this sea
I son, but retired from many of those
games before they were over. His
' legs, small compared to his bulk,
have caused him trouble for several
I seasons.
He smacked out 22 home runs
during the season and ended with
; an unofficial batting average of .288.
