Students Enjoved Chapel Hili Trip Members of the senior class of the local high school report an enjoy able excursion to Chapel Hill last Saturday where they joim-d in the observance of High School Day at the State University A hot day and a one-sided football game was not enough to mar the enthusiasm of the 14.000 seniors who were guests of the university Local students spent a busy day visiting local students en rolled at the university and making new acquaintances Frgnk Nrely and Charles Toxey. formerly teachers in the local school, were present at the game, and wer? warmly greeted by the local group Methodist Bishop Preaches To Large Congregation Here (Continued from page one) StOOO commodities, of which 400 are considered necessities.

American Business Climbing Steadily It Mtmi to be pretty definite now that business has moved into what might be termed the unanimous phase". Every index u going up Steel operations went up another | point, to 92 9 per cent Of capacity; automobile output increased last I week by 24.000 cars?proof that the | motor-makers are boosting produc tion into high gear despite the de lay of the "change over" period of I new models. Improvement in the general situation is well illustrated by the steady expansion of carload ings in the miscellaneous1' ?lasl; that is manufactured and semi-man ufactured goods, as distinguished from raw materials Last week such loadings reached a new high since last November From now on, the greater risks for business men will be on the side of over-cautiousness and under-stocking, rather than the opposite For as the defense program picks up. there will be delays and shortages in both men and materials. Thus low inventories are a greater I hazard than high ones, because as | prices rise replacement costs ad vance and this applies also in the | matter of skilled labor. Hold Funerals For Brothers. John and Columbus Hodges ^ P (Continued from page one) hospital for treatment He was about 65 years old llis brother, Christopher Colum bus Hodges, died at the home of his niece, Mrs R B Williams, on Rail road Street here Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock or about five hours af ter the final rites wire conducted for the brother, John. Rev. John W Hardy, rector of the Church of the Advent here, conducted the services and members of the church choir led a brief song service. Mr. Hodges had been 15 cfiS lining health for a num ber of years following a fall from a building scaffold. Last summer he suffered an heart attack and had been confined to his bed since that time, the end coming gradually. He never learned of his brother's death. He had lived here a greater part of his life, handling painting contracts and doing odd jobs. Burial was be side his brother in the Skewarkey Cemetery. The two men leave one sister, Mrs. Maggie Stubbs, widow of the late Jesse B Stubbs, of Williamstorr She is now a resident of Raleigh. Very few local people remember tin first brother to die last week, hut the second one was well known here. He was an unusual character, but friendly and accommodating Year Round Income From Cotton Crop Farmers and livestock raisers are not the only ones who benefit from the North Carolina's new agriculture that blends " livestock production with the growing of cotton. "Cotton picking time,' the South's traditional herald of betttT'business conditions in towns and cities, as well as income for farmers and workers, is beginning to have a new meaning, say State College exten sion workers With the blending of livestock and cotton, farm income and farm pur chasing power arc spread over 12 months of the year, to the benefit of the entire community. Fall busi ness still continues to reflect the ma jor importance of lint cotton and cot tonseed as dependable cash crops; but butter and eggs, beef, lamb, ynrk an4-4*+uUry--?H?W?? are mnigifaE uting to a steady farm employment, farm revenue, and to the trade of merchants throughout the year. The use of cottonseed illustrates how "blended'' farming benefits the entin community. Sales of cot tonseed to the oil mills provide ready cash in the late summer and fall, as well as employment at the mill. Then by obtaining a supply of cot tonseed feed products, cotton grow ers lay the foundation for future* in come during the winter, spring and summer. Fed in balanced rations with farm grains and roughages, cottonseed meal and hulls are converted Into varied sources of income. For in stance, dairy cows transform the feeding nutrients into milk and but ter for year 'round cash sales. In feedlots, and on cotton farms, beef is produced for home use, and for sale. Farm flocks of sheep may also convert cottonseed meal into lambs and wool clips; while the efficient protein furnished by cottonseed meal now aids in the economical produc tion of firm pork from farm hogs. In these ways, as well as through the fertility restored to the soil through the feeding of livestock and the direct use of cottonseed meal as a fertilizer, cotton contributes to improved agricultural arid business conditions With the blending of livsstott and cotton farming, this contribution ts not limited to the au tumn. when the economic import ance (?f cotton ?s generally recogniz ed. but extends throughout the en tire year, from one cotton picking to the next.

Cotton Council Announces Plan For Cotton Xmas ??? Srelm * i<l?? Cooperation for Seeond Annual Sales Program Mt-mphi*. Tenn.?Urging coopera tion by every individual in the Cot ton Belt, the National Cotton Coun cil today announced a vigorous cam paign for the promotion of Cotton Christmas m the cut ton-producing states The council is building sales pro motion plans which will make Cotton Christmas an important sales event," President Oscar Johnston declared. "Through an earlier start it is be lieved that more than 20,000 retail stores, twice the number of last year, will participate "Cotton Belt merchants making purchases for winter sales are as sured of the active support of the council in each of the 750 cotton growing counties. The popularity of cottons 111 the women's fashion field this fall will serve as an index to the growing year-around cotton con sciousness of the American people." Promotional material supplied by tl?e council last year included news paper advertising mats and publici ty stories, theater trailers featuring the Cotton Christmas theme, spot an nouncements for 'radio stations, and retail store posters, banners and win dow cards. Plans for this year's project are being laid along the same basic lines as last year when the council's coun ty committees received the coopera tion of merchants, chambers of com merce, civic clubs, county agents and home demonstration agents, thea ters. radio stations and newspapers. A greater variety of material will be made available this year than last Bookmobile Comes To Martin County For A Return Visit (Continu \1 from page one) l/iary programs be established and that obtaining good books be the best privilege of all North Carolinians At present 18 bookmobiles are making regular rounds.

Consumers Loosen Their Purse Strings All signs point to the fact that Uncle Sam's millions of "average consumers" are loosening their purse strings, getting more and more con vinced that?although the eventual lax bill will be pretty terrific?we are in for a steady upward curve in business Prospects for a long con tinuation of the Battle of Britain bolster this feeling. The first evi dence was the wave of buying that brought hugely increased retail store sales in August?at a rate al most unprecedented for that time of year. More recently, merchant! are especially encouraged by the fact that better grades of merchandiae are coming more and more into de mand, always a good sign that the customers have confidence. You might suppose that home building would lag on account of uncertainty over conacription. but quite the re verie is true. Total conatructlon con tracts?industrial and residential awarded in August were highest for ?ny month since June of 19S0. And residential building was up $28, OOO.OOO over August of 1938, for the best month since July of that fabu lous year, 1939.
