The Herald has purchased a new set of mats for the 5 linotype which sets the news matter and next week we , hope the paper will make a much better appearance. • The poor print which has been all too apparent in recent issues, has been due at least in part, to worn mats on i the typesetting machine. The new type will be a darker ! face and wre feel sure our readers will find it easy to read. ■ Boll weevil control is claiming the attention of farm J ers now perhaps more than ever. The Herald is glad to ) announce that C. H. Brannon, Extension Entomologist in charge of Boll Weevil Control at State College, has . consented to write a series of articles on this subject for i this paper, and they will begin to appear in the near fu ture. J. B, Slack, County Farm Agent, is cooperating in disseminating information about boll weevil control, which will have material effect on this year’s cotton crop in Johnston County. | , - The newspaper institute held at Chapel Hill last week * under the auspices of the North Carolina Press Associ ation and of the Extension Department of the State University, was perhaps the best one held yet. There 1 wasJittle oratory, the only speech of the occasion being • delivered on the opening night by David Lawrence, pub lisher of the United States Daily, Washington, D. C. It | is not often that a speaker, without telling a single joke, 1 without any persuasive flights of oratory, holds the * attention of a group as David Lawrence did in his dis • cussion of the trend of times. In lieu of much speech ‘ making, there was plenty of shop talk at the institute, | the discussions being led by men who knew their line. - The Herald hopes to put into effect some of the sug | gestions made during the institute. 'i ___ ? A GOOD TIME | TO BUILD— y One of the finest assets a town can have is a good building and loan association, and Smithfield is fortu j nate in this respect. Many a home owner in this city can testify to the worth of the association. The financial ^ statement to be found elsewhere in this issue of the $ Herald speaks for itself as to the soundness of the or I ganization. At the recent annual shareholders meeting, , it was pointed out that the mortgage loans are worth one hundred cents on the dollar, and it was also announc i ed that more money would be available for building this ij year than last. Some time ago Dr. Clarence Poe in a radio talk ad vised young men who wished to make farming their life work, to buy land now. Land is cheap now but, in his opinion, it will not stay cheap. The same thing is true concerning town lots. Good building lots may be bought now for a reasonable sum, and it would seem an oppor tune time for the prospective home owner to invest. Through the building and loan association, a house may be erected and paid for in monthly installments that total little more than rent. In fact under the plan insti tuted a year ago by the local association, which calls for a smaller monthly payment over a longer period of time, the average amount expended for rent would not only pay the building and loan installments but insurance and taxes also. A home owner makes a better citizen. The pride of possession increases his interest in civic matters. The community means more to him, and he means more to the community. And It Came to Pass In the year when. McLean be gan bo reign in Carolina chere came into one of 'the provinces thereof a young man learned in the science of theology, and he (tarried in the province certain years. And he was chief speaker in some of the synagogues in that country and the people heard him gladly. Now it came to pass in the sec ond year of the reign of Gardner, governor of Carolina, that certain men in another province called Xmto the speaker of the syna gogue, saying, Come over and (help ii£, Cut the toodier heeded net their call, but went to an fro In the land, teaching; and min istering unto the people. And ye again the men called unto hiir and said. Come over and help us for the cause is urgent. An^ h harkened unto them and consider ed .their entreaty. Moreover, h perceived that great good migh be accomplished in that provinc and he sent word unto them, su> ing, I ■will come. Now it came to pass that whe he told the congregations in th •synagogues where he was chic speaker that he 'W'oaijd depart an go into a far country, they wei I grieved ait the saying for the; I referenced him, bust when he per they yielded and wished bin good success in the foreign land And when it was noised abroai ! that he would leave, some of th |clubs to which he belonged ga\ gifts unto him and divers of thi i members of h‘13 congregation; made feasts for him and his gooc wife in testimony of their af fiction for them. Now when he had made knowi unto one of his congregation that he would scon journey inu another province the keeper of th. treasury issued a decree that a'i bring their gifts unto the syna gogue on the following Sabbat} .hat the chief speaker might bt paid all whereof he had bet promised and that no man ml?b: owe him ought when he depar V And his followers brought in then gifts and some who had not be fore borne gifts now brvug!.* gold and silver and greenback and east them into the treasury. Anc the keeper of the moneys gathered iit together and put it into the bank for safe-keeping against th*. day when the chief speaker should be paid. And on the night when ‘he teacher held his last ■servacc ’the treasurer had a written check in his pocket in readiness to give I unto him when the service hai. ended. ‘ l\ow nt came to pass after th ngiregation hafj sung; the las ynvn that many pressed arouno the chief speaker with farewe1' messages and good wishes an< he keeper cf the treasury could not approach him because of th» throngs. After a time the treas urer went out and stood with rnf the temple and waited. Notwith standing; the darkness that cover ed the face of the earth, the treasurer knew the teacher when he was co-mo out by the sound of his voice, and he approached him and after words of greeting; he gave unto the chief speaker a check. The teacher was greatly pleased and he thanked the keep er of the treasurer mightily be cause he had need of the shekels, but most of all because his fol lowers had been faithful and just to bring their gifts unto him ever: though want .stalked abroad in the land. And he was glad when nt* perceived that this was another evidence of the goodwill of his flock. And the crowds departed and went to their own houses. Now it ramc to pass on the third day after the Sabbath that the keeper of the trcasui-y had to go into the city and as he put on his cloak he heard something rat tie. Th misting his hand into his pocket, he drew forth the check he had written for the speaker of the synagogue, and he was yore amazed. And straightway he knew' that he had given unto the teacher a blank check which was now missing from his pocket. Summoning his chariot, he has tened into the city and sought ut the abode of the teacher. Now on the Sabbath evening before, when the chief speaker unfolded his check to put it with his valuables, his countenance was clouded and he was puzzled, not knowing what to think. But re membering that it was not the first day of the month of April, le was hopeful, and lie awaited I with patience a message from the t reawurer. Now when the keeper of tlie easury was an*vied at the house of the chief speaker lie was pro use in his apologies and he ex olained how he had fallen into .‘Wor because of the dark ness that night and had only just discovered he blunder. And he gave unto 'the teacher the check which had been ntetided for him, and the duel speaker received it quietly, yet not without a smile, for he considered it an huge joke, the like of which had never happened unto him be fore. At last the chief speaker could iiaw his shekels from the hank, and the treasurer departed ami returned unto his own house re i* icing. Corinth Holders ZMiUI.OX, Route 2, Jan. 22.
