Over 500 Attend 13th Co-op Meeting In Raleigh More than 500 farmer-members, representing practically every cotton producing county in the State, attended the thirteenth annual membership meeting of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association in Raleigh. Picture above shows Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the Greater University, addressing the group of farmers. The meeting was held in the association’s class ing room. Hold 13th Co-op Membership Meet; 500 Farmers Representing Practically All Cotton Counties Attend Raleigh, May 22.—A resolution endorsing the policy of the pre sent administration with respect to its Agricultural Adjustment Administration in general and ap proving the Bankhead Act and processing tax on cotton was adopted here Tuesday by approxi mately 500 farmers attending the 13 th annual membership meeting of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association. A copy of the resolution was immediately wired to the North Carolina delegation of farmers in Washingtn and copies were mail ed to Hanry A. Wallace, secre tary of agriculture, Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator, and to each of the senators and repre sentatives in Washington repre senting North Carolina. The re solution was introduced by John T. Thorne, of Farmville, and signed by a committee composed of Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, L. Bruce Gun ter, vice-president of the cotton association, and by John T. Thorne, a director of the associa tion from Farmville. j-'i. xxaixiv x . vjxauam, prcsiucxiu - of the Greater University, the principal speaker at the meeting, stressed the importance of cooper ation saying, “Cooperation means more income for the farmer, a better chance for his wife and children.” “We live in a world of organ ization,” he said, “and in this world there stands often alone, unorganized, the fiarmer, and I for one would like to see the idea of cooperation go further than that of selling and buying and include the churches, the schools and the colleges and the farm homes.” Dr. Graham was introduced by L. Bruce Gunter, vice-president of the cotton association, as a man whose professional career "is dedicated and devoted to the li beration of men’s minds from the shackles of ignorance, narrow ness and prejudice. During its 13 years of opera tion the cotton association, M. G. ' i Mann, General Manager, said, has handled ,1,301,364 bales of cot ton, paying back to its members for this cotton $111,758,753.52. Pointing out how the operating costs have been reduced, Mr. Mann said: "Our per bale cost of handling cotton has been as high as $3.24 per bale, but I am happy that I can stand here this morning and tell you that a dream which I know your board of directors has had through the years, and certainly one that I have had for the past 10 years, has been fully realized, and that this year any farmer who sells a bale of cotton through the association is not going to pay in excess of $ 1 a I bale.” Mr. Mann pointed out now tnt I cotton association has benefited farmers by paying a premium on improved cotton and through the distribution of good seed as well as through many other services. "The real worth of any cooper ative organization,” he said, "can only be measured by the services which it renders to its members, and I am conscious of the fact that it is our duty to endeavor al ways to obtain at least as much, if not more, for the price of any commodity we may market co operatively as the farmer could get on the open market.” Touching upon the newly or ganized Farmers Cooperative Ex change, Mr. Mann said the FCX during its first 10 months has done a volume of business in ex ress of $817,000 and that it now has 13 branches in operation. Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer and the first man to sign a cotton association contract and the first to deliver cotton to the Association when it was organized 13 years ago, pre sided over the mteeting. G. D. Arndt, treasurer and assistant se cretary of the cotton association, acted as secretary. Following his annual report, the members gave to Mr. Mann a rising vote of confidence and appreciation. At the meeting the following 10 directors werte inducted into office for the ensueing year: E. G. Griffin, Woodland; John T. Torne, Farmville; B. C. Mayo, Taraboro; W. W. Andrews, Gold sboro; L. Bruce Gunter1, Fuquay Springs; Edward Purdie, Dunn; H. Sivertsen, Autryville; Dr. G. M. Pate, Rowland; W. Henry Liles, Wadesboro, and E. J. Truot man, Statesville. Among the speakers from the floor were: W. A. Graham, State Commis sioner of agriculture, who endors ed the cooperative movement, likening a cooperative organiza tion unto " a bridge over the gulf that so long has separated the in dividual farmer from the consum ing world.” Dr. Jane S. McKimmon, assist ant director of the extension forces, who brought greetings from the 45,000 organized farm women in the State. J. W. Goodman, assistant direc tor of the extension forces, who endorsed the cooperative move ment. Dr. B. W. Kilgore, long a lead er in cooperative marketing, who expressed joy at such a large at tendance at the meeting.

Nervous, Weak Woman Soon All Right “I had regular shaking spells from nervousness,” writes Mrs. Cora San ders, of Paragould, Ark. “I was all run-down and cramped at my time until I would have to go to bed. After my first bottle of Cardui, I was bet ter. I kept taking Cardui and soon i was all right. The shaking quit and I did not cramp. I felt worlds better. I gave Cardui to my daugh ter who was in about the same con dition and she was soon all right.” Thousands of women testify Cardui bene fited them. If it does not benefit TOC, sonsult a physician.

Mann, general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Asso ciation, requested school winners in the eighth annual cooperative essay contest this year to notify him immediately in order that no one will be overlooked in arrang ing for the county and district contests which willl soon get un derway. "Every mail is bringing in re ports from teachers,” Mr. Mann said, "but in the rush of com mencement I am afraid some school winner might be overlook ed and therefore I think it would be wise for all school winners to notify me by postcard at once.” "We have received in the Ra leigh office a number of essays to date and the high quality of these proves conclusively that rural boys and girls are interested in cooperation,” Mr. Mann added; The subject of this year’s contest is "What a Unified Program of Cooperative Marketing and Co operative Purchasing Can Mean to the Farmers of North Carolina.” The essay contest is being spon sored jointly by the North Caro lina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association and by the Farmers Cooperative Exchange. Coach And Captains Like Outlook (The Pioneer) Coach Kirkland, in a recent in terview, issued the following statement, "I, like all the mem bers of the football squad, am looking forward to next fall and football with enthusiasm and op timism. With a few new men added to the excellent nucleus from this year’s squad, we should have a team that will hold its own with all the teams in our class. Our schedule is probably the hardest one ever attempted by Catawba, but I believe, with the fight and determination that all our squad members must possess next year, plus a student body that will back us, win or lose, we will have a team of which all will be proud.” Coach, the sports staff of the Pioneer wishes you the best of success in the coming season, and we are with you, win lor lose. Co-captains Garland and Va niewsky look for a successful sea son next year. Van states that the boys, after playing together for a season, and passing the first season with the coach, will be adapted to the new system, and will be almost twice as strong as they had been this past season. "Tubby” is of the same opinion, and he says if the new men will be able to fill the positions that have been left vacant by the gra duates as well as they were filled during the past season, a good team is bound to be the outcome. Co-captains Garland and Vaniew sky, the staff wishes you the best of luck in leading your team next year, and may it be the best team Catawba has ever had. Music Department (The Pioneer) In the field of music five seniors have been outstanding. Dorothy Sparger has distinguished herself in voice, having secured by her artistic ability leading roles in the operas presented both last year and this spring, The Mikado and Pinafore. Her recent recital was especially well rendered. The col lege band has been led for the past two years by Roscoe Eller, who has worked hard as its director. The programs presented show a band far superior to any in the past. Not only as clarinetist in the band, but as a singer and song leader of the student body, Paul Crouse has proved his ability and talent. Harry Livengood has been the college organist for two years, and last year had a prominent role in the Mikado. His voice ability likewise was shown in the Mikado, Oscar McCormick has also served capably on every occasion as col lege pianist. Shoes rebuilt the better way. All kinds of harness, trunk and suitcase repairing. FAYSSOUX’S PLACE Phone 433 120 E. Innes St. DR. N. C. LITTLE Optometrist Eyes examined and glasses fitted Telephone 1571-W. IO7/2 S. Main Street — Next to Ketchie Barber Shop. Gold Hill Route 1 We are having plenty of rain in our section this week. It has rain ed nearly all day here Monday. It is keeping the farmers back from planting their crops. Some have planted apart of their crops, and some haven’t planted but a little yet, but it may be best for- them, as hard beating rains pack the ground so hard it will not come up very good. The Culp string band down East of Albemarle spent a few hours at P. H. Morgan’s Saturday night and they played some good music, and all enjoyed it that were present. Come again. Mr: and Mrs. William Trexler, of Gold Hill, visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Lowery on Sunday. Also Mr. and Mrs. David Brown of High Point over Satur day night. P. H. Morgan and family visited in the home of his sister Sunday near Dukesville. Mrs. L. H. Eller and son, Vance, who live with his mother, also Wagner met several other relatives among whom were Mr. and Mrs. John Miller and his son Bruce Miller. H. S. Wyatt, of Gold Hill Route 1, is our largest strawberry raiser. He has some fine berries, and has been very busy putting them on the Salisbury market. Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Lisk, and Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Culp were visiting in the home of Paul Wag ner last Friday evening. Mr. Culp said he was doing some carpenter work in Albemarle along now.

Say "I Saw It In The Watchman.” Scientists Seeking Eternal Youth Now Learn About Man from Beer -. ~ American Chemical Society claims beer and yeast fermentation reveal much about “nature’s highest or ganism, the human body” in study to increase longevity, according to Dr. Leonor Michaelis, of the Rocke feller Institute for Medical Research, Above—Dr. Winfield S, Hubbard, formerly of the Food and Drug Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture, shown at work on similar laboratory experiments with brewing principles. In oval—Dr Robert Schwarz, prominent New York brewing chemist, a leading speaker at the recent American Chemical Society convention “beer symposium.” gCIENTISTS convening in New York were advised that beer may be the agent for prolonging human life, due to laboratory ex periments now under way. So im portant is this study that at the American Chemical Society conven tion recently an entire session was set aside under the dignified head ing of “brewing symposium” to dis cuss the amber brew’s benefits to mankind. Beer Experiments Beer is fundamentally important because these experiments with its yeasts during fermentation pro cesses are revealing much more about “nature's highest organism, the human being” in an effort to increase life’s span. So Dr. Leonor Michaelis, research chemist for the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research informed the chemists. Laboratory work with this healthful beverage — beer — and study of its pure brewing princi ples cannot “help but extend our knowledge of organic processes in general and contribute broadly to medical, physiological, biological and bacteriological research,” de dared Dr, Max Wallerstein. chair man of the convention symposium. Dr. Robert Schwarz, internation ally known New York chemist, points out that amazing discoveries heretofore have been made through the study of beer, brewer’s wort and yeast. Louis Pasteur, famous French scientist, in his brewery experiments in 1854 hit upon the germ theory of disease which revo lutionized the practice of medicine and surgery, and of sanitary sci ence the world over Baron Joseph Lister, noted surgeon of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1867 applied the prin ciples of Pasteur’s experiments to his study of the decomposition of surgical wounds and discovered the first antiseptic. Fountain of Youth Now American chemists are con tinuing the studies of beer, yeasts and fermentation in the effort to attain an even greater objective— the prolongation of the human life span. Perhaps the flow of the foun tain of youth which Ponce de Leon and millions of others have search ed for may be found in beer. ■ ( Beat It??—Why You Can’t Even Equal It!! SPECIAL!!
