North Carolina farmers have re ceived more than $1,033,278 in cotton price adjustment payments on their 1935 crop. Payments up to that amount had been certified by July 2, said Dean I. O. Schaub, of State Col lege, with checks being distributed to farmers as fast as the payments are certified. These payments are given grow ers selling their 1935 cotton at times when the average of 7/8 inch middling cotton was less than 12 cents a pound on the ten spot mar kets of the country. The payments to each grower amounts to the difference between that average price and 12 cents a pound on the day he sold his cot ton, except that in no event could the payments be more than two cents a pound. The dean added tjiat the work of checking and certifying appli cations for payments is being car ried out as rapidly as possible, and that North Carolina farmers will continue to receive their checks a few days after certification. He reminded growers who have not yet applied for cotton adjust ment payments that no applications will be accepted after August 15. "That is the deadline, and no ex tension of time will be granted,” he asserted. Payments received in Rowan County have amounted to $14, 15 8.08. Payments in nearby coun ties were as follows: Cabarrus - $14,121.00 Davidson_ $ 2,921.57 Davie_ $ 2,959.08 Iredell _ $15,696.25 Stanly _ $13,145.08 School Called Misused Word For University Cincinnati, O.—The undergrad uate designation of a college or uni versity as "school” is distasteful to Dr. Raymond Walters, president of the University of Cincinnati. A former teacher of English, Dr. Walters advocates correct usage of terms for educational institutions. "On the campus, in dormitories and fraternity houses, and also in undergraduate newspapers, the 'school’ is loosely used,” Dr. Walt ers said. "Cheer leaders and editors exhort students to do this or that for 'our school.’ If we of the colleges and universities wish a common term, we can employ 'institution’ as being accurate. Sschool’ properly belongs to the high school, prepar atory school, elementary ^school, and in certain cases to graduate or professional departments of univer sities.” CONVERSATION CAUSES MISTRIAL Toledo.—While testifying in a $15,000 damage suit; Dr. R. L. Bidwell recognized a juror as one of his patients, and during a recess asked him how he was. Judge Robert G. Gosline saw them speak ing together, so declared a mistrial. BERRY BEACON TO U. S. Washington.—The federal gov ernment is taking over Ohio’s Lake Erie beacon light memorial to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victory in 1813 over the British fleet under Commodore Barclay.

R. Harrill, state club leader. These outstanding members who have been making good in their club projects at home, will be given a program of informative, inspira tional, and recreatignal activities, he added. Arriving on the afternoon of the 22, they will spend four full and busy days at the college, then leave for home on the morning of the 27th. The general theme of the short course will be "training farm youth in the art of living,” Har rill stated. The program will cov er many aspects of farm life, in cluding working, playing, and wholesome, more abundant living. Specialists of the State College extension service will offer a varied course of instruction, including (selecting and judging farm crops; feeding, fitting, showing, and judging livestock; forestry, wild life and conservation, parliamen tary procedure; music appreciatiin, program planning, and recreation leadership. i_*_i_*n _t* i | * *»v uvja w lit ai:u personal improvement, organiza tion activities, life saving, foods, clothing, room improvement, home beautification, arts and crafts, and other subjects of value to rural youth, Harrill stated.

STRANGE FLOOD STORY TOLD. Lowell, Mass.—Flood waters last March carried away a white dress which Therese Baril had knitted, but that didn’t stop her from wear ing the same dress.

If Cardui dose not help YOU, consult a physician. - - Bruce Barton Says STRIVE FOR CLASS B RATING The late Dwight Morrow had this saying, which is often repeated by his friends: “You can divide all the members of the human race into two classes. There are the Class A people who get credit for what other people do, and there are the Class B people who do the things for which the Class A folks get the credit.” And he added: "A wise decision is to try to keep your mem bership in Class B. You accom plish more, and there is much less competition.” His career contained plenty of proof that he took his own medi cine. Some of uS, who were close to him during the war and in his sub sequent activities as Ambassador to Mexico and as delegate to the Dis armament Conference in London, know how often the idea was Mor row’s, while the glory went, with his full approval, to some one with more medals and "gold braid The yen for popular acclaim is normal and provides the steam that turns a lot of wheels. Men will work to be praised, and to have their wives and children think they are Big Stuff. Every move in statesmanship finds a dozen gentle men, each of whom will tell you that he was the one who did the ar-J ranging. In a business organiza tion, if a new deal succeeds, you learn that every officer from the President down was the geni who conceived it. Seven cities claimed Hbmer after he was dead. The proponents of a dozen candidates have tried to steal the fame of Shakespeare. Class A is always full. Meanwhile, down in Class B a few quiet spirits keep in the shadows and pull the strings. They operate on the basis of the old Jesuit motto: "A great deal of good can be done in the world if one’Ts not too careful who gets the credit.” They are not crowded, and they claim to have a lot of fun. * * » EASE UP, SECOND HALF A gentleman who has gone quite a bit beyond his fiftieth birthday was discussing with his wife the purchase of a little place in the country. They have no children or other dependents, and by frugal living have saved a modest compe tence. Speaking out of the habit of a life-time, the wife objected that the expense might be more than they ought to undertake. To which the man replied vigor ously: "The more I read about death the less I want to hear about money.” He went on to talk about the discovery which is the oldest in the world, and yet is new to every man in turn—the eternally surpris ing discovery of death. Youth lives as if life were to last forever. Middle Age is startled by the sud den loss of friends. Reluctantly i comes the conviction that Nature makes no exceptions—that what I has happened to the wise and great of all ages will happen to us. When this awakening takes place, some face it frankly, forecast the probable time remaining, and read just their habits and thoughts. If up to that time they have struggled to save money, they begin to say: "Why should we keep on saving? We can’t take it with us. Why not enjoy ourselves? Why not make other people happy by giving some away?” This is the intelligent attitude, it would seem. There are some un fortunate folk who get less gener ous with themselves and with others as they grow older. The first half of life ought to be a good stiff battle for every man. Whether he be born rich or poor, he ought to be compelled to do a man’s work in the world: to struggle and to save. But why not make the trip down the other side of the hill as smooth and comfort able as possible? RING AND TROUSSEAU STOLEN Toledo. — While Miss Martha Stewart and H. C. Schulz were at the courthouse obtaining a mar riage license, thieves entered Miss Stewart’s apartment and stole her wedding ring and trousseau. WATER STARTS FIRE Denver. — Water, customarily used for extinguishing fire, turned the tables and started a blaze which almost destroyed a garage under construction here. A downpour of rain soaked some lime which smouldered into flame. Eighteen farm boys and girls of Jones County have enrolled in the 4-H wild life and conservation project begun this summer by the State College extension Service. Crimmth?m*n*nim.
