Mr. Sapiro for nearly two hours held the undivided attention of a crowd, larg. ly composed of farmers, that filled the court room to overflowing,; many standing throughout the address.

Where i has ; failed it has failed bcause it was tinkered with and was not stuck to. In California it was started 26 years ago. The movement is not confined to fruit. All products are marketed successfully by thig system. -. 80,000 Growers Organized. -In California 80,000 growers are organized into marketing associations. The plan is applied to all products. Through co-operative associations,; California farmers sell yearly' pro ducts amounting to $250,000,000 to 300,000,000. North Carolina occupied fourth place in value of agricultural nroducts in 1919. but North "Carolina ha mnvpA from that rdace, it has been crowded out by California sim- J ply because of co-operative marketing in that State. California. Mr. Sapiro said, does not produce a8 valuable crops as North Carolina produces and it has been able to crowd this State out of fourth plac simply because of superior marketing. They have had all the problems in California that North Carolina farmers have had, but now co-operative marketing touche - twenty-two distinct commodi ties. The plan has proved itself. Thre is no guess work about it; it is simply a business proposition, not complex and not difficult to under stand. It has been tried when prices were going up and when prices were going down, and ha stood all tests. In California in 1920-21, four out of every five farmers made a profit be cause of co-operative marketing. No Crop Liens or Mortgages. In North Carolina, said the speaker, 3 out of 4 farmers have to borrow money to raise a crophave to give crop liens. In California, out of 80, 000 men in co-operatives, less than 2 per cent, have to borrow money to raise a crop. Formerly they had the same system of crop liens and mortgages that North Carolina far mers have, but they have grown out of it. Wherever cooperative mark eting is used the third year crop mar keting is solved and' becomes profi table. Principles Involved For every successful co-operative, said the speaker, there have been ten failures. In the last ten years the causes of failure have been analyzed and a point has been reached where critical judgment can be passed upon the applied principles. Organize by Commodities. It has been demonstrated that you must organize by commodities and not by localities. At first lots of associations were formed and thy flooded the markets. Ag soon as high prices were heard of in any place, the market wa8 glutted and prices came down, because the associa tions, were organized locally. In 1905 they stopped .selling by locals. Now in 20 districts there are 218 locals, and all products of the same kind are routed out of one exchange. The plan was a failure until it was learned that al 1 locals had to be federated so as to equalize. Now. the exchanges find out what every town can absorb of any product ajt a fair pric and no more of that commodity is shipped to that town than it can absorb. -One district is not allowed ,to break" the market against another district. When you are producing something, you think of localities; when Belling, you must think of commodities'. The primary blunder was not discovering that. It took years of time and mil lions of money to learn that that was the only thing that could ( give success. ' ' '- Every association organized around a locality is a failure, and it is a crinje to organize co-operative associations in the wrong way. Co-operative marketing is not' a failure because some that were organized on the (Continued on page five.)

"Little Sins", was the subject of Mr. Paul's sermon last evening and nis Cicnpture text was Genesis 19:20. Declaring in beginning his sermon that sin is rebellion against God vthe preacher said that little sins show rebellion as much as great sins. Con tinuing, he said in part: We do not have to . commit great ins to. show: God; 4hat weartrHj enemies. God does not smile upon any gint Sin is sin. . Little sin. show which way one is drifting. The so- called little sins are the moat inex cusable of all sins. The temptation to commit littfe sins is not so great as that to commit great sina. ; The same law that says thou shalt not kill says thou shalt not take the nitne of the Lord thy God in vain.

To show God that they' can do it, to show God that they are his enemy. They want to show Almighty God that they can do what He says not do. It Shows that nnn haa tin respect for God.

By C. D. Williamson. ..Parkton, May 20. It was not de cided until two week ago whether the graded school would really hold, have two nights' exercises with the i graduating class, and Rev. J. L. Jenkins consented only on last Friday to preach the annual sermon to the graduating class, which headed last Sunday morning at the auditorium at 11 o'clock. His subject was "The parting of the. ways," Josh. 3:4 "Ye have not passed this way before." He delivered one of the strongest and most appropriate sermons we have heard in many moons, thrilling his hearers from beginning to the close, and it could be heard from scores of that large and attentive audience that Parkton need not solicit big preacher, elsewhere, as we have them nations here thai the above-men tlone is one of the most able preachers in this section. We only fear some larger field will sooner or later claim him. We feel-like we should briefly men tion his splendid sermon at the Bap tist church Sunday night, as he an nounced Sunday that he would use as his subject Sunday night, "What's the matter with . Parkton." By the appointed hour the church was packed to its capacity, and immediately after announcing his text he said, "If some or you expect you nave come to a skinning frolic, you will be disappoint ed." "Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth and pres8 forward toward the mark," etct The speaker scored selfishjiesg and said we are not neighborly as we should be. I only regret space and wme loroias xuuer aeiaiis, DUi sunice it to say if the people of our town would follow his advice we would eed no attorney, but would work the Golden Rule every time. We have this to say: the man or woman Graduating Exercises This brings us to Wednesday night's graduating exercises of a class of ten, as follows: Viola McDonald, Agnes Lancaster, Louise Garris, Lila Hayes, Burline Godwin, Milton Thomasson, Alvery Wnght, Clyde Council, Ben Herndon, Bartlett Hall First was a splendid chorus by high school girw "The -Nightingale and the Rose"; violin solo "Trau merie" Sarah McCormick; violin solo Melodie in F Louise Joye, ac companied by Miss Annie. Williamson. The jgraduating exercises were car-ried-ut in a cerditable manner, each persdn taking active part and each performing her or his part well. Only wish every speech could appear in print. The diplomas were delivered by Prof. E. T. Hines and the charge of his brief address to the class was most fitting. He said that their lives now were like a checker board, that he used this illustration as checkers seemed to be a prominent game in our town at present. "You should take the right move," he said, "and after you reach the Kingdom you can move in different directions, but be sure you reach the Kingdom." If the class of 1921 follow their principal's advice they will undoubt edly succeed we.ll in life.
