To Help Farmers Hold Their Produce ' Farmers of Hertford and Ber tie Counties are promoting the formation of a warehouse asso ciation to be known as the Cho an Co-operative Warehouse Com pany according to a plan that should commend itself to the farmers of the State at large. As a result Ol several meetings i e organization, auu with the farmers and business able to keep out those witb gether constitute the" organization- com mittee Vor each county, have been ap pointed. . Each chairman will appoint two in each township to make canvass of every farmer fo take stock. Canvas sers will be paid a percentage of three to five per, cent for their services. Ten phr cent of the stock will be required to be paid down and notes taken for the balance, whenever subscribers have-not the cash to pay for the full amount of shares subscribed. A Co-Operative Organization mi ruwnn Oobuerative Warehouse Company has been incorporated under the cooperative law of North Carolina. The organization of a warenouse wm the coonerative . law gives the shareholders greater authority than mnrnHon law.

The plan is to build or lease a chain of warehouses for the storage of cot ton, peanuts, corn and other farm pro ducts and to keep down expenses of operation by bringing them under the "State warehouse system and by having them run by one competent manager with an assistant manager for each ware house. The authorized capital $100,000. 00 is to be secured by getting every farmer and friendly banker and merchant to take at least one share of stock at a par value of ten dollars per share.

The sale of stock may be restricted to those accept able for membership, the amount of stock owned by one person limited, and Voting restricted to one vote to each member irrespective of the number of shares owned in order to prevent a few from using the organization contrary to the interests of the farming community at large. Duties of The Manager The duties of the manager will be to store the farm products of the members at a reasonable rate, determined by the Directors who have the general super vision of the affairs of the company. The manager will see that warehouse re ceipts, free from liens 'and in case of cotton guaranteed bj a special state fund, are issued for all products stored nMiiniHniHiiNi!iiniiniiiiiiiiiiiiininiiiiinunuMiniuiiniiHUUiiHiiiiuunni SAVE MONEY ON O o o By Buying Them NOW There never was a better time to buy shoes than NOW. That is our tip on the shoe situation and our advice to our custo mers is to take advantage of present prices. We are told that ?20 will not be an un usual price to pay for a pair of shoes next winter. Wise persons will not wait to be forced to buy at such prices, but will buy now and save money. Our stocks of both oxfords and hig-h shoes are unusually complete and you can find a shoe here to suit your immediate present or future needs. Grice 1 1 The Busy Store Elizabeth City, N.

Finally, the mana eer is to keep in touch with all markets and endeavor to sell the products of members in large even running ,-lOts in the best available markets. For his ser vices the manager to be paid a guaran teed minimum salary and a percentage upon all business done, all of which will be determined by the duectors. To Lend Money A fpart of the capital is to be used to provide a loan fund to finance peanut farmers so as to prevent the distressed peanuts from being put on the market at a sacrifice thereby depressing the mar ket for that product. Under the State warehouse law the association expects to get a low insur ance rate and obtain the assistance of the superintendent in the financing of the storage of cotton and in its market ing when the market is favorable. Copies of by-laws and of prospectus of the Chowan Cooperative Warehouse Company may be had upon application to County Agents Gaither and Anderson or to the Division of Markets, at West Raleigh. PRIZE FISH STORIES TOLD IN RAG RYME Noah and Capt. John Smith Couldn't Touch The Record of Jonah the Whale Tamer (By Don Marquis in the New York Evening Sun) Noah an' Jonah an' Cay'n John Smith, Mariners, travelers, magazines of myth, Settin' up in Heaven, chewin' and a-chawin', Eatin' their terbaccy, talkin' and a-jawin' Settin' by a crick, spittin' in the worter, Talkin' tall an' tactless, as saints had n't orter, LoHin' in the shade, baitin' hooks and anglin', Occasionally friendly, accasionally wranglin'. Noah took his halo from his old bald head An' swatted of a hoppergrass an' knock ed it dead, An' he baited his hook, an' he spoke an' said: "When I was the ' Skipper of the tight leetle Ark I uster fish fer porpus, uster fish fer shark, Often I have ketched in a single hour on Monday Sharks enough to feed the fambly till Sunday " A To feed all the sarpint, the tigers an donkeys, To fee.d all the zebras, the insects an' monkeys, To feed all the varmints, bears an' go rillas, To feed all the camels, cats and arma dilleVs. To give all the pelicans stews for their gizzards, To feed all the owls an' catamounts an' lizards, To feed all the humans, their babies an' their nusses, To feed all the houn' dawgs an' hippopo- tamusses, To feed all the oxens, feed all the asses. Feed all the bison an' leetle hopper grasses Always I ketehed in half a hour on Mon day All that the fambly could gormandize till Sunday!" Jonah took his harp, to strum and to string her, An' Cap'n John Smith teched his nose with his finger. Cap'n John Smith, he hemmed some an' - hawed some. An' he bit off a chaw, an' he chewed some and chawed some: "When I was to China,, when I was to Guinea, When I was to Java, also in Verginney, I teached all the natives how to be am bitious, I learned 'em my trick of ketchin' devil fishes. I've fitten tigers, I've fitten bears, I have fitten sarpints an' wolves in their fairs, I have fit with wild men an' hippopota musses, But the periloustest varmints is the octupusses! I'd rub my forehead with phosphorescent light An' plunge into the ocean an' seek 'em out at night I - ' I ketched 'em in grottoes, I ketched 'em in caves, I used fer to strangle 'em underneath the waves! When they seen the bright light blazin' on my forehead They used fer to rush at me, screamin' something horrid! Tentacles wavin', teeth white an' gnash in . Hollerin' an' belleiin, wallerin' an' splashin' ! I uster grab 'em, as they, rushed from their grots, Ketch all - their legs an' tie 'em into knots!" Noah looked at Jonah, an' said not a word, But if winks made noises, a wink bad been heard. Jonah took the hook from a mudcat's middle An' strummed on the strings of his hal , lalujah fiddle; Jonah give his whiskers a backhand wipe An' cut some plug terbaccer an' crammed it in his pipe! (Noah an' Jonah an' Cap'n John Smith, Fishermen an' travellers, narreratin' myth, Settin' up in Heaven all eternity, Fishin in the shade, contended as could be! Spittin' their terbaccer in the little shad ed creek, " Stoppin' of their yarns fer ter hear the ripples speak! - I hope for Heaven, when I think of this You folks bound hellward, a lot of fun you'H miss!

Excuse me ef I seldom agitate fer such! You think yer fishermen"! I won't argue none ! I won't even tell yer the half o' what I done ! You has careers dangerous an' checkered! All as I will' say is: Go and read my record! You think yer fishermen! You think yer great! All I asks is this: Has one of ye been bait? -Cap'n NoaH, Cap'n John, I heerd when ye hollered; What I asks is this: Has one of ye been swallowed? It's mighty purty fishin with little rods an' reels. It's mighty easy fishin' with little rods an' creels. It's mighty pleasant ketchin mudcats fer yer dinners, But this here is my challenge for saints, an' fer sinners, Which one of ye has voyaged in a var mint's inners?
