Parkton, April 27. The minstrel
given on last Friday night was well
attended and much enjoyed. Door
receipts a little mere than $28, which
goes to the athletics. The acting
and singing were good; in fact, not
a dull moment passed. Lvery act
brought-forth much applause. The
professor was the real star. No
school would be dissapointed with
this entertainment.
Last Sunday was a great day at the
M. E. church. While the expected
speakers did not come, the pastor
,-Rev.'. W, L. Mrfness, preached an able
sermon, holding his large congrega
tion spellbound for 45 minutes. The
singing by the choir was inspiring
and at the conclusion of the services
a splendid male quartette was en
joyed as follows: Hutson, 1st tenor;
Jenerigan, 2nd tenor; Hines, 1st bass;
Carney, 2nd bass. The pastor pub
licly thanked the Ladies' Aid society
for incldsing a nice new elevated
choir, stating that he hoped it would
cause much more interest to be taken
in the choir. Really it is a wonder
we have done without it thus far.

Mr. John Ferguson, who holds a
position as mechanic at the Hughes
Pcwell garage, attended the "Woman

and reports one of the liveliest times
of the season; says the house was
crowded and fun a plenty.
EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder Bothers You.
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or rther, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get siutrgish; dog up and cause all
sorts of distress., particularly back
a he and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
arid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri
narv irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from anv eood
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a!
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urniary or
gans clean, thus avoiding serious
kidney disease.

the cause cf education. The grand
financial objective of the Southern
Methodist Church, is $33,000,000.
Another important objective is se
curing recruits for Christian service.
It is said that of the 17,000 charges
in the Southern Methodist Church,
at least 2,000 local churches are with
out regular preachers.
According to Dr. R. H. Bennett,
secretary of life service "one of the
tasks of the Christian Education
movement is to secure Christian ser
vice. It proposes to raise a large
fund for their education and training.
It will equip Church school,, to. receive
them, a thing which cannot be done
now on account cf crowded condi
tions. Then these little churches
which are now closed will become
dynamos of spiritual life and centers
of community service."
Director General J. H. Reynolds'of
the Christian Education, movement,
is responsible for the statement that
there are 27,000,000 Protestant chil
dren and young people in America
who receive no religious training of
any kind. "Three out of five Pro
testant children receive no instruction
whatever", says Dr. Reynolds. "In
our attitude of indifference to the re
ligious instruction of the young, we
are sowing the seed,, of national de
cay." "The Christian education move
ment", continues Dr. Reynolds, "will
remedy this by putting a strong de
partment of Bible and religious edu
cation in all of our colleges, so that
these institutions may send back to
the local churches a constantly grow
ing stream of young men and women
trained in the principles and methods
of religious education and of applied

CROP ACREAGE REQUIRED
All Farmers Are to Report Acres of
Each Crop to Tax-Lister This Year,
The State Department of Agricul
ture announces that all farmers a're
to report the acres of each crop to
the tax lister this year. This is not
for taxation, but for the annual crop
census survey that was provided for
by the last legislature. This infor
mation will be compiled by the coun
ties and not released until next Jan
uary, when it will be in time for the
farmers to use in aiding their plans
for the 1922 crops.
It . is important that each farmer
prepare a list of his crops and have
ready for listing, as it will save lime
and confusion later. This census
puts North Carolina in the efficiecy
class of the most progressive farming
states. i
Each farmer should prepare a list
like the following and fill in with the
number of acres planted or intended,
after each item. Fractions cf acres
should be given on small field crops.
The total size of the farm including
woods, etc., is essential. Total

cotton ; tobacco; Irish pota

TWO DOLLARS A YEAR.
War Profiteers Should be Made to
Pay Burdens of Taxation Far
mers Have Lost Seven Billion Dol
lars. Washington That the farmers of
the country have lest seven billion
dollars since the depression in the
agricultural industry began mere
than a year ago i8 one of the state
ments contained in a review of agri
cultural conditions by the National
Farmers' union. This survey and re.
port, made by the committee on com
parative credit extensions of the
union, is signed by six officials of
the farmer's union representing as
many states. The signers are E. L.
Harrison, Kentucky, chairman, J. M.
Templeton, North Carolina; J. H.
Mills, Georgia; O. A. Thomas, Vir
ginia; G. D. Baker, Iowa, and S. W.
Brookhart, secretary, Iowa.
Copies of the farm survey, which
includes a demand that war profi
teers be made to pay the burdens of
taxation and that they be not passed
on to the public and men who served
in the army for $30 a month, are to
be forwarded to President Harding,
his cabinet and every member of
Congress.
The principal cause of the farm
losses, the report says, are:
Unnecessary profiteering of middle
men, which includes speculative gam
bling in farm products.
The arbitrary restriction of credit
by the federal reserve system and the
holding up of the federal land banks
by litigation.
The unreasonable rise in railroad
rates.
"All of these causes," says the
farmers' organization, "have been
created by autocratic power exercised
under unjust laws.
"Profiteering and speculation of
middlemen is shown by the following
facts: the farm is both a producer and
consumer, the laborer is botn a
producer and consumer; each is the
principal customer of the products of
the other. Yet, out of the dollar
which labor pays for the products of
the farm the farmer get8 only 38
r'the Vollar which the
ijthtct pa f Jbor the products of labor,
the laborer gets only 85 cents.
Reduce Distribution Cost
"The cost of distribution each way
is over 60 cents on the dollar and
against this mighe be cited a cost of
less than 10 cents in co-operative Den
mark. We cannot reduce distribution
to 10 cents in America, but it might
be reduced to 20 cents.
"If the farmer seeks to take all of
this he will receive no help from the
public. If he is willing to co-operate
and divide with his consumers, the
principal of which is the laboring
man, he can add over 50 cents to the
price of his products and give a re
duction in equal amount to his con-
Burner, in mi a uu inuui win gmuijr
join." I
Onthe other hand, the report adds,
there should be a saving of 45 cents
on the dollar in the distribution oi 1
the products of labor, which saving
should be divided between labor and
the consumer. Theodore Tiller in
