COOPERATIVE -MARKETING In this issue of The Robesonian will be found an advertisement of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co operative association which should be of interest to every business man as well as to every farmer, for, as the advertisement says, "solving the agri cultural problem is everybody's busi ness." Cooperative marketing of cotton has been proved to be practical and a success. It is an altogether differ ent proposition from cooperative mar keting of tobacco. The North Caro lina Cotton Growers Cooperative as sociation has finished up its first 5 year contract. A brief history of this association is given in a little booklet issued by U. B Blalock, general man ager. This booklet is for free distri bution to any farmer or any other business man who is interested in put ting agriculture on an equal basis with other industries. Judging from the progress that has been made dur ing the past five years, the cotton association seems to deserve the con tinued support of the cotton farmers of North Carolina. Cooperative marketing seems to be the ideal way of handling the cotton crop. The only thing necessary to make it even a greater success than it has been is for enough farmers to join it to increase its power. If ail cotton farmer, were in the associa won tne rarmers mum ptam cumm with pretty positive assurance that he would get a profitable price. In an ar ticle in the September issue of the Farm Journal of Philadelphia, U. S Secretary of Agricultuie W. M. Jar dine says that "Success depends on the willingness of farmers to organ ize on a large scale and to adopt strong business policies. Producers must be willing to build from the ground up." Secretary Jardine in his article advocates creation of a fed eral farm board and a revolving fund to assist the farmer in the under taking. The essential feature of the plan Mr. Jardine advocates is to take off the market for a time a cer tain amount of a commodity to pre vent the price from falling to a ruin ously low level. "This plan", Mr Jardine says, "Would not put the government into the business of buying and selling farm products. It is in no sense a scheme o& price-fixing. It would not interfere with the regular function ing of cooperative marketing organ izations." An effort was made last year to take off the market four million bales of cotton. If that could have been done last year during the dumping period it would have had a stabilizing affect upon the market and the pro ducer of cotton no doubt would have enjoyed some of the 50 per cent or more advance in cotton during the past six months. The marketing as sociation offers the best opportunity for the farmer to tie up with the forces that would help him avoid ruinous slumps in prices. CAN'T ALWAYS SOMETIMES TEH, Under the caption "Evidence of Strength", the Raleigh News and Ob server rises to remark: The steady progress and soiidity of the financial institutions of North Carolina is evidenced in one substan tial way by the architecture of the new banking buildings. The First National Bank of Wilson yesterday Celebrated its fifty-fourth anniversary by opening its magnificent eight-story atrueture casting half a miliion dol lars. It is an ornament to the pros perous and growing city <d Wilson and an evidence of its own growth and aervice to the community and a large bart of the most progressive section of Eastern North Carolina Nice things exactly like the above were said about the First National Bank of Fayetteville when it moved Into its elegant new home less than two years ago. It was pointed out that this institution had had a tong and useful career, was a bulwark n] atrength, and that it deserved to ha\( this palatial home from which i could better serve a large and in areaaingly prosperous section, am gnor* to the same effect. The other day a man went into th< I First National Bank of Fayetteville, deposited something over $100, (rot a check cashed for $3R. and before he couid (ret out the shades were drawn and doors closed. "Having a holi day?" inquired the patron of the bank. "No. bank closed", he was in termed. Two minutes l<efore that the bank had taken his deposit and he thought it was as safe there as it could possibly he anywhere on earth. No. it is not aiways an evidence of hatf-miliion-dollar new home. Pru dent (ample want "grounds more rela tive" than that. The character and standing of the men who officer a hank are better standards td judge by than eiahorate temples erected to Mammon. ) ! MULES DELIVERED Wdlsir, they've gotten so they de liver mules sitting down, instead of under their own power. Saw a truck the other day with a large sign on it which gave the dealer's name and "Mules Delivered" in big letters. Heen doing that a long time, no dpuht; just , never noticed it before. Man comes in ^ ' and buys a mule and tells the dealer to deliver him at his home. That's: no hardship on the mule nowadays.! Mule takes his seat in a truck, or! stands up if he feels so disposed, j r'ars hack and picks his teeth with not a thing on his mind hut to en joy the scenery and wonder what sort of home he's going to. Let gasoline do it. No tiresome journey on foot j Even the mules ran enjoy and appre- j date the delights of speeding over good roads in motor-driven vehicles. -u VALUE OF CHURCH The Kobesonian already has receiv ed quite a number of articles sub- , mitted in its offer of prizes for the best papers on "The Value of a ' Church to a Community." It is a sub ject in which every intelligent per-!, son is interested. As will he seen from the standing announcement car ried elsewhere in this issue, all arti cles must be submitted by September !' 15, and then they will be passed upon by impattial judges and the results . announced as soon as the judges can ' grade the papers The Robesonian ex pects to publish some interesting ar-;' tides when the results of the contest ' are announced. THE PASSING SHOW (By M. Monte.) Seven yeats ago or such matter,! a couple of wild-eyed homos of the spaghetti and garlic mastigating breed ! were convicted in due course of mur- j dering an inoffensive paymaster. Af ter appealing to everybody from Pres- ! ''lent Coolidge to Recorder Kornegay,) they were bumped off the other day.! Immediately other wild-eyed hombres ! began celebrating by blowing up a subway in New York, a church in Phiiadelphia. and engaging in other piayfu! gymnastics. All of which proves that even anarchists have fool! friends. This was in classic Boston, j The gentelman who was president ! of Chili when the last cable was read on Doctor Shaw's window, knows a thing or two about handling these spaghetties. He loaded up a shipload ! and dispatched it to San Fernandez j island, which comes within about five hundred miles of being adjacent to anything, where they were duly and expeditiously dumped This Chili man told them that if they used as much energy in setting i up their own government there as they did disturbing his rest in Chili, things should move on scrumptiously. Also he suggested that a few more boat loads would follow.

S. whistie appointment of someone to oust moskeetets off the cannon should not be overlooked. A ('har)ottc paper announced the other day that extra poiice had been added to the force account of the Adventist convention. Some folks can he funny without hatf trying A re ligious convention strikes one as about the last occasion for increasing the police. However, you never can tell, and we may caii out the National Guard for the next Sunday school picnic. It is becoming <]uitc a pattous oc cupation—or is it ies majoste. to use so vulgar an appellation as occupa tion in this connection—this of being an attorney and counsellor at. and so forth? One for embezzlement, one for assault and battery, and still another for perjury in this grand old Com monwealth within a short period. Nice time there would have been of it with these gentlemen trying to keep some other guy out of trouble. As illogical as for a medico to allow himself get sick. Note in the fashion sheet: "Ladies will wear bouquets of valley lilies and rosebuds on their ankles." Gosh! Talk about painting the lily, or car rying coals to Newcastle! Iron Station—maybe you haven't ^ mat'd of the place—-that doesn't mat :er greatly as few folks, have, but i myway they are headed for prom- ] nence. A feminine curist is turning hings upside down curing everybody hereabouts of everything. She can tot chase creeping paralysis or even iust a plain "misery" without holding in to an apple limb with one hand while rubbing the patient with the j tther Quite cute, this holding on the j tpple twig, since the fruit of that t wig caused the human biped a whole , ot of trouble first and last, but if terchance the present misery has to lo with the apple tree as a causaus )e!li, as our friend Jule Caesar used o remark, then the nostrum of a cer ain Monsier Perry Davis will be nore effective than holding to a twig. Maybe you will note that we omit my rhyming at the top of this coly !me. It is all because of our good riend Doctor Norment.

O. MeGirt. who live 3 miles trom Maxton. The Messrs. MeGirt ran over the reptite with a wagon carrying ap ptoximatety 4 000 pounds of lumber, hut the rattler did not die then nor even after they had {thrown a 2 by ) scantling on him. A truek belong ing to the State highway commis sion came up, and a pitchfork was borrowed with which to corner the snake white he was kitted with a shovel. The snake was 5 feet long and was 12 inches in circumference. It was skinned, and Mr. Luther Me Girt stuffed the skin. NATIONAL MILL TEAM A NO EAST LAURtNHUtG PLAY SAT.

"Should you iive outside the school district bear in mind that there is a tuition fee to be paid before the chiid is entered. This fee shouitf be paid to Mr. Russeli at the city haii and the reccrpt turnea over to ene teaener. In years gone by we have waited some iittle time for this receipt. This has caused a good dea! of trouble and in some cases overlooked and not paid until almost the close of the session. We can not allow anyone to enter his or her child unless they have this re ceipt. I am following out the re quirement as set forth by the school board in a meeting a year ago and have no intention and no right to change it. The tuition fees are as follows: Grammar and primary grades, $12, high school, $15. This is the fee for the entire session and is payable in advance. Home Studv Necessary, "It is the earnest desire of the teachers to see that real benefit shall come to the children in attendance at school. No one can expect to do good work who is absent from their duties. No studbnf can expect to advance as they should who does not do a cer tain amount of home study. Too many of our boys and girls are allow ed to loaf on the streets at night and are not required to study at home. nna MM3 mv rcuvru ui scnoo* and has, in some cases, been the cause oi absolute failure by the student. If parents will see that their children do some homy study and are not al lowed to be away from home and loaf ing there would be fewer who fail of promotion at the close of the year. "Give the school teachers the best support you can by seeing that there is more done than just attending the school during the day, and the benefit to the boy and girl will be very evi dent. Visit the School. "Make your plans to visit the school and see just what is going on. Too many are willing to take things for granted. It would surprise you to know just what is taking place jn the school. The methods used, the problems solved and the thoughts di rected in the proper channels would be of great interest to many of us. Too many of us are proud Of our schools and yet we could not tell just why. It will help you to come and see the work and know the teacher o^ your child." _ I ! t i t Weinstein & Sctiaeman's Big Money Saying Saie is stiii Going On EVERY DAY FINDS MANY NEW BARGAIN SPECIALS ON : DISPLAY—COME AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE j PRICES—AND SAVE MONEY. : SPECIAL FOR SATURDAY GiNGHAM CLOTH 5' PER YARD ONLY 5 YARDS TO A CUSTOMER THERE ARE MANY OTHER SUPER-SPECIALS.
