oy late election tabulations.

President Hoover, described by his

The Kiwanis Club held its reg
ular weekly luncheo.n recently with
a ^ good attendance. The committee
wnich was appointed to get up some
land of enteitainment, reported that
a musical comedy would be given,
that the books have already been
ordered and that Mi-s Margaret
Creech had been secured to coach
the entertainment.
Star Harper presented a very
good iiiea to the club which, it is
hoped, will bring increased business
to the town. A committee was ap
pointed by the President, composed
of the following; Star Harper, A. J.
Holliday, Charlie Jacobs and John
Wiggs, wsho are to make out a ques-
tionaire which will be approved by
the Kiwanis Club and the newly or
ganized Merchants Association. The
que tionaires will be mailed to a
number of citizens in the communi
ty and they will be asked to mail
them back with or without their
names signed.
After President Richardson ap-
po.nted Rev. L. T. Singleton, Chair
man; Rev. W. J. Crain and Star
Harper as a nominating committee
to select officers and directors for
the year 1933, the meeting was turn-

A local colored quartette delight

Cotton fabrics of various weaves
and qualities are featured in an
exhibit of children’s clothing which
will be shown at County-wide Club
meetings at Smithfield, N. C., from
November 7th to Decembor 7th. The
garments have been designed lay the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
with particular reference to ease in
making and in laundering, and to
help the child to dress himself. The
exhibit will be under the direction
of Miss Rachel Everett, County
home Demonstration Agent of the
Extension Service.
Freedom and comfort for the ac
tive child, encouragement to self-
n€lp, and th© saving of his niothor’s
time and energy are the main ob
jectives in .all the Bureau of Home
Economics’ designs. All the gar
ments in this exhibit are adjust
able, also, to the growing child, ex
tra material being allowed ' for
lengthening*. There is a minimum of
buttons, and those that are used
are conveniently placed, and of a
dze and type easy for children to
manage.
Most of the fabrics are cotton,
but there are also some washable
woolens The materials in all the
garment.s were chosen because they
have more all-round practicability
lov children’s clothes than any oth
ers. Cottons can be secured for any
-sort of suit or dress, as the exhib
it demonstrates.
The garments included in the ex
hibit are play suits, sun suits, and
stunt .suit ensembles for girls and
boys, dresses for little girls, infant’s
wear, and rompers for creeping ba
bies. They w'ere designed by the
rtaff of the Division of Textiles and
Clothing in the Bureau of Home Ec
onomics at Washington, and four
such exhibits are constantly in cir
culation throughout the country in
response to requests from colleges
and otHer institutions or organiza
tions concerned with child welfare.
The bureau does not distribute pat
terns for the garments, but several
pattern manufacturers have adopt
ed the bureau‘’s designs and put the
patterns on the market. The names
of these firms, together with the
numbers, will be furnished bv the
bureau upon request.

While we do not have the official

ticket^ was elected by overwhelming
majorities, said to range all the wav

Barnett Bros. Circus
To Show In Selma
Washington, Nov. 9.—A new de
partment of agriculture forecast
pushing the 1932 cotton crop esti
mate up to 11,947,000 bales today
was follo'wed by breaks on the New
York and New Orleans exchanges
of $1 to $1.50 a bale. Part of the
loss later was recovered.
The estimate, based upon Novem
ber 1' condition, was 522,000 bales
above the October 1 forecast. Last
year the production .soared to 17 -
096.000 bales.
Ginnings up to November 1 were
reported as 9,245,534 i-unning Bales,
compared with 12,124,295 last year.
The indicated crop was larger than
the forecast of a month ago in all
the major producing states except
Mississippi. ’The greater part of the
Common Lespedeza Is
Good Crop For Fast
The common variety of lespedeza
made the best yield of hay per acre
is a demonstration conducte'd on the
farm of D. W. Bagley of Moyock,
Curntupk county, by farm agent T.
B. Elliott.
“All of the varieties used in the
demonstration produced within a
few hundred pounds of each other
but the common was in the lead,”
says Enos C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College, who
had charge of the demonstration."
‘We planted the lespedeza in March
on black land and cut it on October
3. However, the hav was not weigh
ed until October 24, by which time,
it was thoroughly cured and dried.
The weights show that the common
variety produced 3900 pounds of dri
ed hay to the acre with the Tennes
see 76 next with 3580 pounds. Kobe
was third with 3490 pounds and
Korean fourth with 3340 pounds.”
This demonstration again proves
that the so-called improved varieties
cannot always be depended upon to
outyield the common. This latter
variety makes less of a show than
the others because of its low habit
Flemington, N. J., Nov. 7.—John

of growth. However, it often com
pensates for this by the greater
number of stalks on the ground,
Blair says.
The stems of the common variety
are smaller than the others and
therefore all of it may be consumed
in the hay.
Mr. Blair has conducted a number

popularize the crop among the crop
rrmers of that section and also
to determine the most adaptable

valuable and indications are now
