The big subscription campaign
?>f The Franklin Times ia drawing
near the close. The second period
?nded on Wednesday of this week
and the final close of the cam
paign li little more than a week
away. With undimished enthusi
asm and energy which the ele
ments themselves could not
nquelch, the candidates who are
working for the wonderful prizeB
to be given away on Feb. 29th..
are rising to the occasion with a
renewed interest in making up
for loat time, and each and every |
one Is showing a determination!
to be the proud possessor of the I
first prize of (600. What a won
derful prize that will be for some
one to win. The second prize of
1200 and the third prize of 1100
will alto be the means of making
at least two of the hard work
ing candidates feel that their ef
forta have been well rewarded.
We glory In their apunk. en
thusiasm and energy. Most of
them have worked through all
kinds of weather; cold and snow,
rain and mud. Probably halt of
them have lost time through slck
nesa , and other unavoidable
thlnga, but we still have a group
of ten determined entries going
into the final lap and headed to
ward the goal.
The publisher of this paper is
proud of them; he feels they have
accomplished wonders under the
moat difficult condltlona. The
people of Franklin County ahould
be proud of them and aupport
their favorite with their aubscrip
tion or renewal, not for one year,
but for as many years as they can
possibly give.
A dean Race
The friendly competitive spirit
being afaown by all the workers
In this race Is a pleasure to watch.
The campaign manager in all his
experience has never run a cam
paign where there haa been such
good sportsmanship and such a
total lack of hard feelings as has
been shown in this race. We know
and feel that this will continue
to the end.
The management has tried to
be impartial In all its dealings
with the various workers; has
given nothing to one that could
not be given to another; haa ad
vised and encouraged to the ex
tent of our ability and has given
no information to any one candi
date that would be unfair to the
others. No one candidate can
secure all the business, it has
been fairly well divided and the
result will be a close finish be
tween several. Everyone will re
ceive some reward for their work
and at the same time, each one
has the opportunity of finishing
in the big money, there will be
no losers In this campaign. What
could be more fair.
Important Period
The third and last period is a
most Important one to the can
didates. This is the period when
many an upset has taken place,
when laxity on the part of the
leaders could easily undo all the
good work done up to the present
time and allow some one further
down in the list to creep Into first
place. OWlng to the very poor
working conditions, the county
has barely been soratched add
there is plenty of business wait
ing for the worker who haa* the
initiative to find some means 61
contacting those who have not
been seen. ... ,
The winner in this campaign
will have earned as much in sev?u
weeks aa a great many earn in
a year of hard work and more
than but a few of us save in 1
life-time. It will take ?? Courage*

"The Widow From
Monte Carlo"
"The Widow from Monte Car
lo," heralded as one or Warner
ft ros.' moat hllarioua comedy ro
mances of the year, comes to the
Loulsburg Theatre Sunday, Feb
ruary 23rd.
The picture Is based on the rol
licking play by Ian Hay and A.
E. W. Mason and ccncerns the
highly spiced adventure and love
affair of a Duchess, a warm blood
ed South American beauty who
has married into an English fam
ily of the nobility, and whose
search for diversion after tho
death of her husband quite shocks
her highly proper British "in
laws."
A gay and debonalre major wno
runs across the Duchess In a
gambling palace at Monte Carlo
is largely responsible for the
series of exciting and romantic
adventures the two pursue to
gether. At Margate, the English
Coney Island, they get mixed up
with an American crook and are
nearly nabbed by the police.
Another scandal is narrowly
averted when the somewhat vulgar
wife of a wealthy marmalade
manufacturer steals a letter the
Duchess had indiscreetly written
the major. But the American
crook gets the letter back and the
Duchess breaks off her engage
ment with a stuffed shirt diplomat
and flies to the arms of the gal
lant major.
Warren William and Dolores
Del Rio have the romantic roles
with Colin Clive playing the part
of the discarded diplomat and
Louise Faxenda that of the new
ly rich woman.
Others in the cast include Her
bert Mundln, Olin Howland, War
ren Hymer, Ely Melyon, E. E.
Clive, Mary Forbes, Viva Tatter
sall and Herbert Evans. Arthur
, Oreville Collins directed the pic
ture from the screen play by F.
Hugh Herbert.

FARM BUREAU
Franklin Farmers Become
Interested In New Order
Hold Meeting In Court House
Wednesday Night ? Several
eral Make < iood Speeches ?
Make (;?hk1 Speeches ? Plan
Outlined ? Committees Named
One hundred an* eleven farm
ers attended the meeting held in
Franklin County Court House on
Wednesday night, Feb. 19th at
7:30 to hear the discussion of
the origin and function of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion.
The meeting was presided over
by W. H. M. Jenkins, president
of the Farmers Club, who Intro
duced Mr. 8. E. Wilson, member
of the committee appointed to
attend the meeting held in Green
ville recently. Mr. Wilson Intro
duced Mr. O. W. Raye, a member
of the Executive Board of the
Farm Bureau Federation of State
of Alabama.
In his Instructive and interest
ing talk he stated that he started
out on the farm, worked as a
County Agent eight years, organ
ized a strong Farm Bureau in his
county and later became active
in the State Organization.
The Farm Bureau Federation
was started In 1914 In McLean
County. Illinois. The organization
in this county consisted of 2600
members with $15.00 being the
membership dues for each person.
At the present time there are
approximately thirty-five states in
the Union having a strong organ
ization of the Farm Bureau with
the other states having a weaker
organization. He also gave a
history of the Bureau's activity
for the farmers of the Nation.
When the farm marketing
plan failed, the Farm Bureau be
gan work on what we now know
as the old A. A. A. This act was
passed through the effective work
of Ed O'Netl, Representative of
the American Farm Bureau.
Chester C. DavlB. and Henry A.
Wallace. Secretary of Agriculture.
Since this bill was declared un
constitutional, this Farm Bureau
has fought continuously to secure
new legislation. Part of the new
legislation has been passed, and
other acts are pending in Con
gress and are expected to be pass
ed Immediately.
The Farm Bureau, being the
most progressive, militant, and
hardest fighting organization in
the country, states that 1( this bill
is not satisfactory, their efforts
will continue until one satisfac
tory is passed.
The set up of the Farm Bureau
Federation is very close to that
of our local government, name
ly, township, county, state and
national. The Farm Bureau Fed
eration will first organize in
townships, with each township
sending one member to the Coun
ty Organization The County Org
anization will he controlled by
the delegation from every town
ship. and they will select from
their group one delegate for
every thousand members, to re
present them in the State Fed
eration. The county delegation
makes up the state governing
body. The state will send to the
National Convention one delegate
from its organization for every
16,000 members in the state. The
delegates will be robed with the
authority of its organization to
prepare the Farm Bureau pro
gram.
Under this Bet-up an agricul
tural bill can be introduced In
Cedar Rock Township, Introduced
to the County delegation by the
township representative, passed
by the County Committee, and
be Introduced to the state organi
zation by the county delegates,
be recommeded by the state de
legation to the National Organi
zation and be introduced thr
ough the National Organization
into Congress, with the backing
of the entire Farm Bureau Fed
eration of the United States, and
be passed into law. There is no
other way a farm bill can be In
troduced in Cedar Rock Town
ship, and carried so far.
Mr. Ray introduced Mr. L. S.
Fluker, member of the Executive
Board and State Allotment Board,
and a dirt farmer from Alabama.
He made a short and very Inter
esting talk, stating that the agri
cultural program was very easy
to administer In counties In
which a good organization exist
ed. There was one county ha7lng
a good Farm iBureau Organiza
tion, from which there was not
a single complaint received by
the state office during the ad
