(OME LETS GO TO SCHOOL
On Tuesday, September 2. Louisburg
Graded School will open for ltB 20th
session, with a full staff of well train
ed teachers, in a new and up-to-date
building. wKh reasonably good equip
ment. This institution offers to the
boys and girls a splendid opportunity
to get a common school education and
then a high school educaion that will
fit them for entrance to college or for
the duties of cltiiengjiip. In addition to
the regular course, Wc are this year, aa
last, offering for girls* splendid course
in Home economics; this course gives
regular credit toward graduation. For
boys and girls who dislike some of the
formal subjects, we offer a number
of elect Ives. To graduate however, the
students must pursue a course with
some continuity; the cafeteria Idea
must not be carrietftoo far.
Boys and girls, what are you going
to do about it? the school willV'run."
Are you willing to put up your part
of the game? To put your name In
a class roll and then loaf on the Job
will never give you an education. (You
must pay the price; this means that
you can hardly get an education and
at the same time do all the things that
idle boys and girls ground town do.
You cannot get an education and spend
all of your afternoons and evenings
loafing and ?arouslng. If you think
an education is worth while, meet us
at the school the first day. Tackle
the business of school-going like any
other sort of business proposition. Do
a reasonably good day's work each
day. Give this business the right-of
way; you will fall if you carry it as
a side line.
Boys, do you want to play on any
of our athletic teams? We hope you
do, but you must remember that to be
eligible to play, you must do reason
ably good work in the class-rooms, ana
your deportment in school must be sat
isfactory. Athletics can not be run by i
folks who will not study.
Fareius, you hare your mouey In
vested In Lou is burg Graded school,
and wo want It to be of a real service
to you. as well as of every business
man and woman In the town. If you
treat the school life of the children
with Indifference, yoa may be certain
that children will prefer picture shows,
parties, automobile rides, drug stores,
cates^ or otho places of amusement.
Too many bright boys and girls fall
on their School work each year and
the school folks are powerless to pre
vent it. Will the good cltlsens of Louls
urg get into this game and help us
make it what It should be?

THE B. ?. P. U. O0BNEB
Do you believe to prayer?
Christians when you sin* your
h^mns do you mean them? Do they
mean anything to you?you may say
I can't pray, I dont know what to say,
I Just don't know how to pray. But you
can pray a song. If yon are prayerful
la your heart and the words of the
song express the prayer of your heart,
why Isn't that a prayer? You can pray
asy time or anywhere. Don't think as
a -little boy did that you have to have
a certain time and place to pray and
tkaV you can't pray in the day time
with all your clothes on. Pray In your
work if it be In the kitchen or the
office. QFod hears and answers pray
ere as most of you doubtl??s have
realized, but you must also realise that
all prayers are not answered with
"yes" "For the Lord knoweth what
we have need of before we ask Him."
And He knows what is best for us.
Let us give more thanks ihstead of
begging for so many blessings that are
tor our own satisfaction and not to
<%e glory of God.

/ > FEEDING PLAN RIGHT
Raleigh, August 4. ? On July 14 top
prices for hogs on the Chicago mark
et -was 7 1-2 cents per pound. By the
first of August, the top was 10 1-2
cents per pound.
"Nothing else need be said In favor
of the plan being promoted by the ex
tension specialists and State Division
fo* markets to have growers to so
feed out their hogs that these animals
are ready for sale on the high mark
ets of August and April." says V. W.
Lewis, livestock marketing specialist
foe the State Division of .Markets. "At
the same date that hogs were selling
in Chicago for 10 1-2 cents they were
setting in Baltimore for 11.4 cents per
pound and in Richmond for 11 cents."
These markets at Baltimore and
Richmond are the nearest large mark
ets for hogs in this State and they
usaally pay better prices than the Chi
coga market. For the past few years
W. W. Shap of the Animal Industry Di
vision and Mr. Lewis have been work
ing out a plan of feeding and market
ing that will bring North Carolina
hogs to good condition at a time when
the market is highest. For over 20
years, these specialists say, the mark
et has been highest in August and
September in the- fall and in March
and April in the Bpring.
Mr. Lewis states ..that hogs as a
money crop are growing in- Import
ance in North Carolina and farmers
should give serious consideration to'
ths plan that will allow them to place
these hogs on the market when the
best prices may be obtained. If not
in a position to start this year, an ef
fort should be made to have some ani
mals ready for the high market next
spring. Well bred bows that will soon
farrow or suckling pigs bought at
reasonable prices now should pay
good returns, If fed according to the
Shay plan, thinks Mr. Lewis.
