WAREHOUSES TO
CLOSE MARCH 10
Winston Market Has
Sold Nearly Thirty-
Two Million Pounds
Tobacco.
It is announced by Major Z. T.
Rynum, Secretary of the Tobacco As
sociation, that the Winston-Salem to
bacco warehouses will close for this
season on March the 10th next.
Farmers who have not completed
marketing their tobacco are urged to
do so at once, or as soon as possible.
It is the opinion of the warehousemen
that very little tobacco remains in the
hands of the farmers now, and this
notice of three or four weeks will give
them the time necessary to finish sel
ling their crops.
The sales for the present season
have already passed the 31,000,000
mark considerably, but it not thought
that more than 35,000,000 pounds will
be marketed by the time the house*
close for the season. The average
price for the total sales to date has
been near 25 cents a pound,
and all things considered is probably
as good as the farmers hoped for at
the beginning of the season.

STOKES COUNTY
11. DOUBLE A.
Organization Of Survi
vors Of the Saw and
Hammer Meets In
Happy Reminiscence.
The annual meeting of the Stokes
County Hospital Alunin le Associa
tion was held last week, attended by
the largest and most enthusiastic.
I number of survivors who have ever
been present since the association was
organized. This society was formed
a year or two ago, and resulted from
the clamors of a large number of the
graduates of hospitals who wanted to
continuously and perpetually relate
their hospital experience to their rel
atives, neighbors and friends, the
practice becoming unbearably expen
sive to the alumni, as their audiences
had grown so thin that finally the lis
teners had to be paid »(Uite large sums
to sit still. So the happy idea was
born to organize an association of
kindred beings, all intensely interes
ted in the saturnine subjects, and who
would never tire of telling among
themselves, over and over again, and
yet still more, their thrilling, absorb
ing and amazing experiences. Their
relatives, friends and neighbors very
heartily co-operated in getting this
segregative organization started.
At last week's meeting officers were
elected for the ensuing year as fol
lows :
President —J. H. Fulton.
Vice President—S. P. Christian.
Orator—Paul W. Davis.
Executive Committee —H. 11. Leak,
F. M. Sams, Jonah Hullin, N. E.
Pepper and others.
! Distinguished guests of honor were
present, as follows: Dr. Lawrence, of
Winston-Salem, who delivered a very
entertaining address on "The Stokes
County Victim as Compared With
Other Victims;" Dr Stir.-rt McGuire,
of Richmond, who spoke on "The
Great Use of the Vermiform Appen
dix" (to the hospitals); !>r. Long, of
Greensboro, on "Saws and Ham
mers"; Dr. Moir Martin, of Mount
Airy, on "The Relative Merits of Bes
semer and Pittsburg Steel in Har
pooning"; Dr. .1. Tom Smith, of West
liel'l, on "The Incompatibility of Jokes
and Bandages."
After delicious refreshments had
been served, consisting of ice water
and dry toasts, the meeting adjourned
subject lo the call ef the President.

CATALOG HOUSES
LOSING OUT FAST!
i
Carrier S. M. Fagg, Of
Danbury, Reports Big 1
Drop Off On His Mail
Route Past Year.
Speaking of articles recently
appearing in the papers in regard
to mail order houses losing busi
ness, Mr. S. M. Fagß, carrier of
Danbury mail route number one,
stated this week that the business
going from patrons of his route
to northern and western catalog
houses had dropped off more than
half in the past year. A year
ago Mr. Fagg said he was issuing
from eight to ten money orders
daily to the big catalog houses
while recently he has been issu
ing not more than four or five
money orders a day to these
concerns.
This drop off is not caused by
a lack of money because the
farmers on route one have re
ceived big prices for their tobac
co the past year and are in good
condition financially. The drop
is caused by the fact that so
many of the people have cars
now and go to town oftener.
They aro doing their shopping in
Walnut Cove, King, Winston-
Salem and other nearby towns.

Madison, Feb. 13. —John M.
Galloway, formerly of Madison,
but now a resident of (Greensboro,
was unanimously elected director

j Co-operative Marketing Associa-
Ition for the district comrosed of
I Rockingham, Caswell. Randolph
;and Guilford counties, at the
meeting of township directors
| recently held in Reidsville. Mr.
, Galloway has a number of farms
,in Rockingham county and is a
man eminently qualified for
leadership. In addition to being
the largest producer of tobacco
in the world, he is a business
man of wide and successful ex
perience. His selection has met
with general approval among the
farmers and others interested in
cooperative marketing.
State Has 18,000 More
Families Than Homes
No town, city or county in
; North Carolina has sufficient
] homes in which to house the
! families resident therein, accord
| ing to the United States census,
which deals with many phases of
the condition of the state. Every
where the house shortage exists,
more acute in some cities than in
others. Altogether the state has
18,000 more families than it has
homes.
It is in the cities and larger
towns of the state that the hous
ing shortage is most acute. In
the rural counties the figures run
almost parallel in many instances
but coming down to a county
where there is a large town the
lines widen and more families
are crowded into fewer houses.

I
1 Stokes county's campaign to raise
its quota of §72(1 for the Near East

'with Mrs. A. G. Jones, of Walnut
| Cove, in charge of the work.
I This money will feed, clothe and ed-
I urate 12 orphans of Armenian mar

Carolina orphanages at Trcbizoni.
The State of North Carolina is saving
the lives of 3,334 of these helpless
tots this year.
Mrs. Jones has been at work lor
some time perfecting her organiza
tion and reports that Stokes county
is qcady to do her duty.
Here is what President Harding
says about it.
"No one in the United States can be
without a feeling ot' distress over the
; trend of events in the Near East.
1 There ought to be no cessation or
! relaxation of our sympathetic Ameri
can efforts to be of service to these
stricken people, who will not survive
if we withdraw the relief which "us
| heretofore been so genorous from tne
: private American purse."
j Here is what Hon. Woodrow Wilson
'says about it:
! "1 have the strongest sympathy
jwith the Near East Relief and its ob
jects, and believe it the duty of a
|Christian nation to help these un
fortunate victims of barbarity and
hate."
Here is what Gen. Leonard Wood
says about it:
| "Over 100,000,000iittle children who
have been kept alive by American
generosity for the past three years
i are absolutely dependent upon the
I ■support which America gives them
! through the Near East Relief. How •
j ever many and worthy other upper's
In th( great heart i>f America may be
this crv from the little children i>f
the land where Christ gave His life
for mankind came t remain unans
| Wi red."
Here is what Major Stedman says
'about it:
"It ;itr p'ds me nlcasure to endorse
the great work whi.-h the N.ar East
lii lief N outraged in. I .o not know
any measure which should appeal any
more t> humanity than the Ne:ir East
Relief and 1 cordially endorse its pur
pose."
North Carolina's quota in this
great work of saving the children of
! Armenia is $200,000. Stokes coun
ty's quo! l is $720.00.
