of the President, Mrs. George Hat!
Jr- at White Lake, on Tuesday eve
ning. The attendance was small but
much interest manifested. This was
the time for the American Home
Dept, to have charge of the program

made no specia! p)ans for the pro

Mrs. Hall has had some splendid

'''EHtMT Mrs. Hall discussed recrea- j
play for children. These dis- j
t* cussioM were very interesting and
helpful. The club ladies brought out j
the fact that there were too many ,
houses of the same style in Elizabeth
town. Perhaps some have not thought;
of this, but when you enter a town .
and see so many houses of the same .
type, yoU say "where is the factory ? j
Not meaning any reflection whatever
on any one's home but the Better.
Home Dept, of America is sending
out this literature to help us to have j
more attractive homes and we should ;
take advantage of this opportunity)
and read this literature. Mrs. Hall ^
will be glad to lend it to any one,
planning to build or interested in
making any changes in their home.

her convictions and spoke to the boys j

Jackson, says:
i "1 had suffered dreadAdiy with an
aching aii over my body. At times
my head wouid give me so much
trouble I couid hardly stand it. I
had been in bed for weeks and it
looked like I was just wasting away.
"I took 9 bottles of C^)!ui and my
. strength began to slowl^rretum.
"Since that time I have used this
medicine a good many times and it
has always helped me.
"At one time I took Cardui for
several months regularly. I would
be afflicted with sudden spells of
dizziness when I could not stand on
my feet. Everything would turn
black before my eyqs and I would
feel as if I were going to faint. At
times I would be quite nauseated. I
turned at once to Cardui and took
it till I was safely through."
Cardui is a mild, medicinal tonic,
made from purely vegetable ingredi
ents. It has been in use for over 60
years, and in that time thousands
of women have written that Cardui
helped them back to good health.

!p MEMORY OF MRS. J. C. < OPF
The death angel hovered over the
Cope home in Red Springs on Aug.
1, 1927, and chrok the death dew
from its ebon wings upon the beauti
tifal life of Mrs. Cope, 72 years old,
and bore her sweet soul to her heav
enly home to meet her loved ones, and
wait there for those whom she left
behind. Her desire was to go to
dwell with her Master, whom she nev
er ceased to praise. She was ever
ready to save a soul, to taik in behalf
of her savior, and to serve her maker.
She was a living example to her fam
ily and to her many friends. Even
though she was an invalid for nine
years and suffered intensely, she was
keenly cheerful, and always had s
calm, kind message for those who
were in sorrow.
The fact that friends came from fat
and near to see and talk with he!
shows that she had a message for each
that was worthwhile. This beautifui
Christian character approached ole
age m a graceful, calm manner. She,
felt old age the peaceful and happy
worthwhile period of a life. Htr iii*e
ir^Mpded, me of a beautiful iruit,!
fira#^'-b^d. a blossom, a small green
apple, then a beautiful fragrant fruit. I
When God needed her, He plucked this;
mellow life, which was eager and I
ready to go. Her unselfishness was!
the keynote of her happiness. What!
ap inspiration she was to those who!
knew her! The memory oi such a lifej
will linger in the hearts of those who
were fortunate to know her and will
be a ready stimulus, to urge them on
to a goal of complete happiness, un
selfishness, purity, full of joy, and a !
human love divine that was hers.
Her devotion to her family physi-i
cian, Dr. Johnson, was without meas-^
ure. She knew that he was very
}much concerned about her physical
condition. His kind and encouraging .
} words were ever dear to her and they
t made life and pain easier. She de- i
pended on this great physician; God
sent him to her, to help her bear her
pain. She bore her afflictions, calm
ly and patiently, often repeating with
a smile, "Jesus bore it all for me."
Mrs. Cope loved the boys and girls
, of Antioch. She often said that the i
j sweet prayers that went up from their!
hearts made l^er heart rejoice. They
strewed thir liowers along the path ,
jway for her during iife. She always
' said that those who had flowers for!
iher, to give then! while life lasted j
i that when she crossed over to the !<
other side she would have flowers
throughout eternity. She kept these
young folks on her heart and asked
God incessantly to be merciful and
kind to them. She was deepiy con
cerned about their souls, fur she
; wanted to gather them in h< r amts,
j and take them home to Jesus with
her.
She was ever ioyai and faithful tuj
her pastor, Mr. Stephens. He, too,)
! helped to make her load tighter and j

Cooperative marketing means th.c distrifntting of a yearscrop over a period of sev
inootfrs or a year's time, feeding the snppfy to th<- tfetnatul in an Orderly manner and see
to obtain a ta tter average price than can he obtained by setting through the "dnmpn
process regardtess of demand.
(Government statistics as compited by the Federal Trade (^(Mpmission will show
etnsivef.v to tfte fair tninded man that we have succeeded in marketing our cotton four v
out of five at better average prices than was obtained upon the Open markets. We h
never etaimed that we eoutd hit the topnotch prices during any one season.
<lrd''i'!v marketing of our eotton means orderly payments to our metnf'ers- Orderly p
ments to our members is a long step towards putting the farmer on a cash basis.
Though we do uot now controf the vofume whieh we hope to eventually control, yet
