Saunders, Editor, THE INDEPENDENT, Elizabeth City, N. C. Dear Sir: Herewith my check for 60 cents In payment for your "Concept of Life." I trust you can send me a copy at a very early date. I want to assure you Ithat I thor- oughly enjoy reading the Independ-.- ant Wn need more newsnaner men who. will give credit where it be- lonos and censure and criticism where it should go. The only man in the world who; contributes any- thing to those about him is the man who expresses his convictions. He may be right in his conceptions and if he doesn't express them, he is a nonentity. I wish for you much success in your splendid work. , ' - Very truly yours, v O. L. WILLIAMS "THE KID," A GREAT PICTURE, IS COMING Charles Chaplin's New Feature To Be Shown in Elizabeth City at Al krama Next Week. The most remarkable and unusual pic ture released within the past six months is Charles Chaplin's six-reel feature, "The Kid," scheduled for exhibition at the Alkrama theatre on Tuesday, April 12th. This Chaplin is a distinct de parture a feature with a story writ ten and directed by the star and marks Chaplin's debut in . a film more preten tious than a short slap stick comedy. "The Kid" is an artistic mixture of comedy and pathos a fine example of the kinship of the emotions and the proximity of laughter and tears. Ghaplin never registered the pathos, nor caused the chunks in your throat' as he does in this. And he has rarely made you laugh more heartily. Once in i a while he slips into slapstick stuff, but as a rule this js happily missing, and there are some touches that make you forget it's a comedy, i And this only ac centuates the laughs when they come. There are a lot of them, too. The -Btory is there with a wallop. A little waif, abandoned by its mother,-is finally taken up by Charlie because he can't lose him, try as hard aB he does. All the hokum is there showing how Charlie takes care of.bjm, in the end1 the kid being returned to his mother, who is now a famous singer. How Charlie takes to the little one, protects and raises him, and finally fights off the county officials who would take the youngster to the county orphanage, and how, in the end, the youngster goes to his mother, only to be followed by Char, lie, makes np the plot. But this synop sis cannot begin to do justice to the in numerable bits of real humor,' of real comedy, that, interspersed as they are, contribute to making this one of the greatest pictures you ever had a chance to see. T.ittle Jackie Coogan is "The Kid." A newcomer with a real personality, he is immense. Edna Purviance has a mighty good part, and Charlie well, he is the same old irresistible laugh maker that he has always been. m$mm d. urea THE INDEPENDENT, ELIZABETH CITY, N. C A Progressive 4 I I mm? REV. EMORY LAFAYETTE COLE. m REV. E. L. COLE, pastor of Salem and Riverside Baptist churches in this coun ty, was born in Ohio, raised in Michi gan, educated In Michigan and Chicago and got his theological training in Louis ville,'' Ky. His ministerial experience was confined to towns and ctties until he came to Pasquotank 18 months ago. He came to the two churches in. this county because he hadjjome ideas about country churches that ho wanted to try out. Ho thinks a country church is the most important thing in the country and should work for the upbuilding and fullest development of every pleasant phase of oommualty life. Better live stock, better farming, better reads, bet ter schools, better homes and a bettor life generally should follow a good church; a church should not wait to follow these things but. should lead in them. That's his philosophy. In every other way ho, is as thorofy human. He is a man who reads much and his read ing isn't confined to any one lino of MANTEO BOY IS MAKING GOOD IN OLD MISSOURI Tho Reared la the Land of Wind and Water, Ho Teaches Missourians How to Farm. The frequent comments of visitors, on the apparent absence of big men on Roanoke Island might be fewer should they consider the fact that there are few big places in the county ' for big men to fill. Dare numbers its hundreds of boys now .holding down big jobs , in many corners of these United States, and just how one of them is holding down his, is told in a current ' issue of the Missouri Ruralist, a 48 page farm paper published at St. Louis, and the leading farm journal of the middle west. The Ruralist devotes a full page il lustrated write up to the work of Dr. William C Etheridge, head of the Field Crops Department of the University jof Missouri. 'Dr. Etheridge went to Mis souri from Cornell University. Prior to that he had graduated from the North Caroina College of Agriculture and Me chanical Arts at Raleigh, and had taught in the L'niversity of Florida. Just now he is making a special study of the multiplicity of products grown in Mis souri, for the purpose of finding the crops best adapted to eaA soil and cli matic condition within the state. "Plants are like people." Dr. Etheridge told the Ruralist writer. "Some men you know, render the world great service; while others demanding just as much of so ciety, give comparatively little in re turn. The principle involved is that 'of putting the right variety in the right place to produce greater returns with no extra outlay of money or labor." Dr. Etheridge received the inspiration to farm while 'fishing over shad net lines in the icy water of Dare County.. Bat tling with wind and waves and the nets full of destructive crabs disgusted him with the future his environment offered and he made his way to the A. & M. College at Raleigh. To-day he holds one of the biggest chairs in the University of Missouri, and thru his assistants, he keeps constantly in touch with more than 2,000 farmer boys in that state who never saw the sea. The Ruralist gives a bit of his history" in the follow ing words: , 'This man Etheridge is intensely hu man. Great as his scientific knowledge is and he has a string of university degrees his heart is still bigger. He sees his work and all of the activities of his department only in terms of hu man life. He has a bunch of youngs ters of his own with whom he tumbles around on the floor of an evening like you or me; and when he goes bright and early to his work next morning he's thinking of the help his department can give to similar families in Missouri's farm homes. ' . "Etheridge was reared on a small farm in North Carolina, not far from the spot where Sir Walter Raleigh, land ed with the earliest English expedition to the new world. As a boy he-played on the remains of the old earthen fort built by these adventurera what time he. wasn't much less happily engaged between the -rows of his father's potato patches. Sometime in his youth he ac quired a curiosity to know the actual meaning of the very learned ' and te-h- l nical language contained in , certain ag- Country Pastof x - - K3 w jf ' IaLI thought or study.

"For six years thereafter, Etheridge was connected with the North Carolina Experiment Station. Then he became Instructor in Field Crops at Cornell University and while there annexed the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. -To win the latter de gree he made an extensive study of oats, and wrote a classification of all the vari eties of cultivated oats the first work of its kind ever printed in English. ".This work was illustrated very pro fusely with color plates,' the originals of which were drawn and painted by Mrs. Etheridge. Even now, despite her du ties as mother and housekeeper, this artist is illustrating a similar work on barley varieties soon to be issued by Cornell. "Tho one of the biggest men in field crops work in this country, and one of the nibst finished scholars, this man Etheridge lives simply walks six or eight miles a day . to his work, retains the hearty handclfrsp, the wide sympathy and the high ideals of his farmer ancestry and training. With Etheridge the stu dent is of vastly more importance than the study. v " 'The object of our teaching in field crops is two-fold, says Dr. Etheridge. 'We try to give the student as complete information as possible and also a liber al education. We believe that the study gf .field crops can be made of as great cultural value as a study of the lan guages or pure sciences. I agree with the saying that there is no more culture in the study of a Greek root than in equally careful consideration of a corn root. " 'In our general course we consider the history and development of each crop, its significance in the support of life, its value to society and its abso lute valued in calculating the wealth of our own v state. We cover the essential botanical characteristics of these . crops, their structure, physioldgy, the soil and climate, to whfch they are "adapted, and finally the most effective methods of pro duction."' Dr. Etheridge is the son of D. W. Etheridge of Manteo. Stimulated by his succe'ss, a younger brother, Randal Etheridge, completed a four year agri cultural, course and graduated at A. & E. College last spring. He is now a chemist with the Swift Fertilizer Works at Wilmington. ' NOTICE To all farmers in Currituck County.
