All these meetings with the farmers and their wives were greatly enjoy.d by every Kiwanian who had the oppor tunity to attend, none more than the meeting which was ladd at the Green wood school at Lemon Springs last Friday evening.

Many returned to the table for the fourth and fifth helping and still the table was load ed when they quit for lack of room to deposit more.

JStSSite'iKESSPigt and the farmer guests engaged in such athletic contests as tug-of-war, old fashioned bull pen, that reminded the okLr people of their school days, throwing horse shoes and archery. The announcement that dinner 'was ready fell upon willing ears, Wl.'.n all had satisfied their appetites the members of the club and farmers took seats W front of the school build ing in the open and President J. A. Overton called the club to order and tuAed the meeting over to E. Frank Andrews, chairman of the program committee, who had charge of the program of the evening. After _ a song or two Chairman Andrews in troduced G. M. Mann, secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Cot ton Growers Co-operative Association, the speaker of the evening. Compli ments were exchanged by Mr. An drews and Mr. Mann, who knew each other in the banking business at Tar Doro a J-ew yetiio At the invitation of the club the ladies joined the men and heard Mr. Mann’s speech which was bas^d on the kind of education that would be an inducement for the boys and girls to stay on the farm after finishing their work at the schools and col leges. The ladies ^wei'e introduced by Mrs. J. C. Watson as they came for ward and took seats. Mr. Mann em phasized the ’ importance of making farm life so attractive that the young people would want to return to the farm after securing their education. The speaker said that permanent pros perity must come through an eduea ted citizenship. He lamented the fact that out of a class of 223 young men who graduated at State College, Raleigh, this year only 16 indicated their intention of engaging in agri cultural pursuits. 43 others express ed their intention of engaging in some phases of agricultural work, making ■ a total of 68. In speaking of co operation the speaker said that all must think individually, but act col lectively. Said he “more boys must engage in farming so as to compete with others who engage in other pur suits.” Fifty years ago Henry Grady laid down a principle that if carried out would make a success of agri culture. The speaker asked the question, “Can farming be made profitable," and answered the question by citing an instance where farraig had been made profitable by wise management. He stated that high prices of cotton and tobacco would not mean perman ent prosperity among the farmers as we had high prices of these products following the World War. He pre dicted that agriculture would be al most lost unless, there is a change in the method of farming. Mr. Mann spoke of the work of the Co-operative Association and stated that the Federal Board'was to some extent responsible for the low price of Cotton. He emphasized the’import ance of producing a better grade of cotton so as to com'mand a better market price. He pictured the ideal home life on the farm and saw in it °a help in the solution of the farm problem. Mr. Mann appealed to the Kiwanis and other service clubs to use every means at their command to restore agriculture to its proper place in the activities of the country. He thought they could do a great work along this line. He also saw . an opportunity for the farm and home demonstration agents in the several counties of the State to do a great work along thialine.

FREE TREATMENT FOR DISEASES Lee Comity Offering Protection Against Typhoid Fever Diphtheria. Lee county, in cooperation with the North Carolina State Board of Health, is offering protection by free vaccination against typhoid fever and diphtheria to every man, woman and child, both white and black, in the county. Since vaccination for these two diseases has been the n .earis of reducing the number of deaths and cases for the last eleven years, ^very one is strongly urged to take it. ■in 1930 3,248 people in North Caro lina had diphtheria, and 253 died. Eighty-three per cent of those who had diphtheria and those Who died of diphtheria were under six years of age. A great part of the expense of sickness and death of these children could have been prvented by diphther ia toxin anti-toxin. Every child between the ages of six months and ten years should take diphtheria toxin anti-toxin. It has been shown, by careful records that three doses will immunize eighty-five per cent of children treated. Three treatments, of diphtheria toxin anti-toxin or typhoid vaccine are necessary. Each is harmless, practically a certain preventive, and almost painless. Neither cause any sore. Bring the whole family to the nearest dispensary point. Remember! We wish to improve the health and save the lives of white and black, old and young, rich and poor, you and the other fellow.

POULTRY SALE FOR WEDNESDAY Prices For Lee County Poultry Will Range From 8 to 16 Cents A Pound. The June cooperative poultry sale will be held in Sanford on Saturday, June 20th. This sale has been closed with the G. S. Miles Poultry Company of Grensboro. This company will have a big truck and coops to receive the poultry at Palmer and Reeves’ stable on Endor Street. Heavy Hens will sell for 16c a pound, Leghorn hens 13c, roosters 8c, and broilers of the heavy breeds 2 1-4 pounds and up 24c. Do not bring small broilers to the sale for they are not wanted at any price. It will pay to keep the small ones and feed them until they will weigh 2 1-2 pounds or more, for they will make gains much cheaper after they have attained a weight of 1 1-2 pounds than they did before reaching that Weight. Eggs will be bought at the market price on that day. The egg market is stronger and we are expecting a better price than we havo had in sev eral months. Poultry prices are lower than they have been in a number of years, but they are not any Jower in proportion than other farm commodities, and not as low as some. This will be a good time to sell surplus old hens pnd -culls, but the flock should not he sold down too low for egg prices should continue to improve. E. ,0. McMahan, County Agent. WARN NIGHT LOITERERS In an effort to break up the “night life” of the town the Board of Aledmen have passed ordinances prohibit ing jitneys from being on streets after 11:30 and pro hibiting loafing after this hour. Several arrests have already been made and the Mayor states that condi- * tions are much better but that he will not let up in en forcing the law and, “I don’t] mean maybe,” he added. ' COMPLAINTS OF TAX PAYERS ARE GIVEN HEARING County Commissioners, Sitting As Equilization Board, Holds Daily Hearings. WILL SIT FOR TEN DAYS The, County Commissioners sitting as an Equalization Board has been busy since the first of the week at the court house bearing complaints from the tax payers of the various sections of the county on the valua tions of real estate. The board holds daily sessions -and during the ten days that it is to meet, it will give the citizens of every township in the county an opportunity to be heard. Register of Deeds McIntosh who is acting with the board informs The Express that the complaints on high validation of land are not as great as he expected they would be. He says the complaints are two thirds under what be thought they would be. The farmers are very busy in their crops and no doubt feel that there would be very little change in the valuation even if they were to quit their work and go to the court house and make complaint. A fixed amount of taxes must be raised and should the valuation of land be lowered the tax rates would have to be raised Hearings have been held for four of the seven townships, and land owners of Pocket tdwnship will be heard Friday and East and West Sanford townships on Monday and Tuesday.
