9TH ANNUAL PICNIC P. 0. S. OF A. BE STAGED AT CLEVELAND TODAY; CAM MORRISON CHIEF SPEAKER ---1 I BOY SUCCESSFUL BIDDER j London, Aug. 5.—Kenyon V. Paint er, a 12-year-old Cleveland boy, caus ed a sensation when he bid and paid $1,850 for a silver salt cellar at Chris tie’s ale room. Master Painter accompanied his fa ther to the auction at Christie’s. He watched the bidding and finally asked his father if he couldn’t join in. "Dad told me to bid until he stop ped me,” the boy said. "I just bid un til the others stopped. It was good sport and something to tell the kids back home.” He was the first schoolboy .to outbid the older buyers at Christie’s. fcAitss cunuN NOT TO BE SOLD Farm Board To Hold Sta bilization Staple Until New Policy Is Announc ed. Washington, Aug. J.—Assurance was given today by Carl Williams, cotton member of the Farm Board, that no stabilization cotton would be offered for sale pending announce ment of a definite policy for handling the surplus during the new crop year beginning August 1. The new policy now is in prepara tion. Williams said he was uncertain when it would be ready for publica tion. A year ago the board promised not to sell in competition with free cot ton for one year. That pledge expires tomorrow, and considerable interest has been expressed as to the nature of its new policy. The cotton stabilization corporation bought 1,300,000 bales of cotton from the 1929 crop to maintain falling pric es. It is being stored at a cost of $4 a bale per year. Williams revealed that loans out standing on July 1 to cotton co-op eratives and the stabilization corpora tion amounted to $177,000,000. This amount, however, does not nearly rep resent the actual cost of stabilization operation since si volume o£ y- ) : <-Tng was do&e throu»J»J-fe*«ri!!W \ mat* credit banks. He estimated that the cotton at present prices was worth less than $50 a bale, a figure considerably under the price paid for it. Three southern cotton exchanges— Savannah, Little Rock and Memphis— have requested the board to announce a new policy for the coming year to remove any possible uncertainty in fu ture trading operations. Williams said there has been no general demand or pressure brought to bear on the board from cotton traders as was true in the case of wheat dealers and growers. The board, Williams said, probably will send a representative to the con ference of governors of cotton states called by Governor Sterling of Texas for next Tuesday to consider means of reducing cotton acreage and sur plus. PUT ON DOG New York, Aug. 5.—Handker chiefs are putting on the dog. Chows in brown, Pekingese in pink, and green grey hounds adorn the corners of pocket handkerchiefs affected by some anmal lovers. Featured by an address by the Hon. Cameron Morrison, Charlotte, N. C., United States Senator, the ninth an nual picnic of the P. O. S. of A. will be held today at Cleveland. With the "welcome” sign being hung on everybody’s front door, an exceptionally large crowd is expected to be in attendance. "Bring a basket and spend the day,” is another invitation that will swell the crowd. Dinner will be served on the ground. Refreshments will also be served. Besides the speaking, there will be music, baseball, and other types of en tertainment. The annual picnic of the P. O. S. of A. always proves to be unusually interesting and pleasant and the one today will be no exception. Whether or not Senator Morrison will indulge in matters pertaining to his campaign for re-election, was not divulged. Mr. Morrison is one of the best speakers in the state and every one may rest assured they will be well entertained. IREDELL TAX RATE IS SET AT 1.03 Seventy-Two Cents Of This Is For Debt Service; One Million Lopped Off Total Valuation. The estimated tax rate in Iredell County for the year 1931 is $1.03, which is a reduction of 27 cents. The rate for 1930 was $1.30 on the hun dred dollars valuation of property. In view of the fact that the valua tion of personal property in Iredell county is approximately a cool million dollars under what it was last year, County Accountant W. Roy Plott and the board of county commissioners have had to work diligently and pa tiently to get the amount of reduction anounced. The total valuation of real and personal property in Iredell last year was $47,107,050, whereas this year the total amount listed was ap proximately $46,000,000. The debt service for - "J"* •% and ser’ sxplained, Li 72 cents valuation, which is app aer cent of the entire tax levy. FARMERS FIND USE FOR GRASSHOPPERS Lamar, Col., Aug. 5.—Farmers of this grasshopper-infested region have devised a means of turning the de structive pests into chicken feed. With troughs placed in front of au tomobiles the farmers drive through grain fields. The hoppers fall into clear water in the trough. They are poured later into sacks to dry and will be fed to chickens next winter. One farmer gathered as much as thirty bushels of ’hoppers to the acre by this method of "harvesting.” MID-WEST REDUCING 1932 WHEAT ACREAGE Washington, Aug. 5. — Reports reaching the Agriculture Department indicate that wheat farmers in the mid-Western States plan to reduce their 1932 acreage because of the low price of the grain. Looking up a family tree is a shady proposition. MR. ROWAN FARMER: We offer you a steady, year round market for your cream at top mar ket prices. Increase your cows and receive a regular, semi-monthly cash in come. A well filled dairy barn is the trade mark of a prosperous farmer. Rowan Creamery, Inc. 127 East Kerr Street SALISBURY, N. C.
