; The pastor spoke on "Calling a
Spade a SpadeV on Sunday morn
ing. He based the sermon on ?he
text Malachi 3:8 ? "Will a man;
rob God? Yet ye hare robbed me. j
But ye say, wherein have we rob
bed thee? In tithes and offerings."
Here morality is linked with a re
ligion. Belief and conduct must
tally. God is the creator and own
er of all things. God has put ;
everything .at his command into '
the enterprise. The word from
Malachl is written In the light of I
the law only. Today we face the
fact of stewardship in the light
of Jesus. The enterprise, in the
matter of finance, Is not only con
cerned with the one tenth but i
with the ten tenths. The enter-!
prise is not merely concerned with!
finance but with all of life.
On Sunday morning at eleven i
o'clock Dr. A. Paul Bagby will
preach on "If We Are Good,
Why?" At the evening service
at seven-thirty he will continue

Cotton Loans
Franklin County farmers can
get the full Government Loan un
their cotton from the Franklin
Bonded Warehouse, of Louisburg,
R. B. Mitchell, Manager, told the
TIMES Monday.
Mr. Mitchell said he had Just
received official information from
Washington in regard to the loan
program and that the Franklin
Bonded Warehouse has been .??
cognlzed as officiat agency to make
Government Loans on cotton.
The loan program. Mr. Mitchell
said, means more to Franklin
County farmers than ever before
since the location feature provides
that North Carolina farmers will
get up to $2.75 a bale more than
those of the Southwest who do uot
have the advantage of being close
to the mills.
Government Loans will ruifc us
high as XSc a pound for Good
Middling 1-1|4", but Mr. Mitchcll
pointed out that moat Franklin
County cotton "will run Middling
1" to l-l|l(r" and the loan value
on this is 9.7c to 10c a pound.
Willi the loan_/ates Above mar
ket prices, Mr. Mitchell pointed
out that it Is only good business
for Franklin County farmers, to
bring their cotton to the Frank
lin Bonded Warehouse and secure
the loan. He pointed out that the
loan is on a tirni basis and that
regardless of how much the mar
ket may drop the farmer who gets
the loan will not have to pay any
thing back.
We are now entering the sea
son when "country damage" takes
its greatest toll. Mr. Mitchell said
as lie urged growers to deliver
their cotton noif' to the ware
house where it will be protected
not only from the weather but
fire and theft as well.
Mr. Mitchell who will b# re
ceiving almost daily additional In
formation from Washington, in
vited all growers to drop by and
see him for latest news mi the
loan program.

Schools everywhere nave begun
and as was to be expected, con
tagious diseases have increased.
This is a natural result of child
ren riding in crowded buses and
sitting many hours of the day in
crowded, frequently improperly
ventilated rooms. Parents should
examine their children carefully
each morning lo see If they have
any evidence of the beginning i t
a contagious disease especially it'
there are any cases of diphtheria,
measles or whooping cough in the
vicinity. These are contagious
diseases most frequent in this ter
ritory. I have not mentioned the
ordinary bad cold which is rhe j
most frequent contagious disease
often the beginning of 1 influenza
and sometimes pneumonia. I
know it is difficult to convince
mother her child should be kept
home on account of an ordinary
cold, but the child himself would
certainly be much better off at
home under the watchful care <f
his mother and would not be a
source of contagion to his school
mates I think It would be a most
wise procedure if the teacher
would, as is done in the army,
hold a health inspection each
morning, to discover if any of the
pupils show evidence of contag
ious diseHse. and if sucfi is found,
send the pupil home with a note
to the parents stating the cause.
If there is a case of measles in
the community, a child with red
dened eyes, a dripping nose and a
slight hacking cough is a ineasle
suspect and should l)c at home.
A child with a sore throat and a
gray membrane throat is a diph
theria suspect, although no mem- |
brane shows, a sore throat is a
contagious disease and should I
not be In school.
Whooping cough. The whoop
of whooping crtttgh is unmistak- j
able and a child whooping should I
be at home and quarantined. A
child with persistent cough last
ing a week" or ten days if any
whooping cough is in the commu
nity is a whooping cough suspect
The ordinary bad cold- is easily
detected and In all probability
causes more absences from school
than any other contagious dis
ease If these rules ale observed
closely there will be a much bet
ter attendance.
Scarlet Fever" begins with a
sore throat, redden blush of skin
and fever. If Scarlet Fever Is pres
ent in the vicinity the child should
be a suspect and kept home until
seen by a physician.
