We are now at the beginning of a new era filled with boundless opportunities for advancement in the business and science of telephony. Upon the foundations that have been se curely laid, we can look forward to the telephone system of the future, which in effectiveness and useful service, will surpass all that has gone before." A Great Nation (Industrial News Bureau.) The United States at the pres ent time has the greatest industrial capacity in its history. There is much room for further expansion and there is a wide field for invest ment. We are entitled to judge the fu ture by the past, and the past 20 years in this country have given us machine production, electric power the telephone, .-the the gas engine, chemical processes, the x-ray, the motion picture, the radio, and a thousand devices that have widened the opportunities of the people, absorbed the fruits of indus try and employed capital in ways that were not seen in advance. Like other industries which haw contributed to national welfare for generations past, new industries are making of themselves a primary need. Luxuries of ten years ago are now necessities. Modes of life have changed completely with new modes of travel, new modes of thought and new nteehanical inven tions. Opportunities of this country arc so great that as time goes on, pro duction is bound to increase while buying power expands, lifting to higher levels the standards of our i)anbnrv N.

Chairman Charles F. rates, of the organization committee selected i v old belt /tobacco farmer* to carry on the 05 per cent sign-up campaign states that no t ffort will be spared to present the new contract which has improved and safeguarded by the experiences of four years of co operative marketing. "Only by the united effort of all interests in the tobacco area can there by any hope of protection against a return to low prices and financial disaster which would result from failure to con tinue the protection of co-operative marketing of tobacco, "Chairman Catcs told the field workers who he is sending out to aid the tobacco farmers and business men of every important tobacco county in West ern N/orth Carolina to secuiv the necessary 05 per cent sign-up. The field workers were also instructed t.i carry tobacco farmers of the oil belt the message that no policies, no mistakes, no employes of the old asssociation need be inherited by the new association. An Apology. On account of sickness and the epidemic of influenza, the Reporter has been forced to cut down its size the past two weeks to 1 pages, and much matter that should I nve ap peared in the paper has been neces sarily left off, for which we are due our readers an apology. However, we hope next week to get back to "business as usual", and make up for some of our shortcomings. P. H. Young, of Sandy Ridge R.
