PAGE TWO Bing Miller Coming Back - To Tutor The Bulldogs High School Mentor Has Been Playing Profession al Ball During The Summer EXPECTS TO REPORT HERE ABOUT SEPT. 1 Grid Prospects About Same As Last Year With Vete rans Lost by Graduation; Mentor Promises Plenty of Work for Tough Schedule Ahead of Footballers Bing Miller, the man who directed the destinies of Henderson high school athletic teams last year, and did it well, stopped in town yesterday to at tend to some personal business, and lingered just long enough to say that he would be back in Henderson about September 1, and issued a call for grid candidates at the local high school a «hort time thereafter. Flayed Fro Ball Miller has been playing baseball dur ing the summer months. Shortly aft er school ended here last year, he caught on with Hew Bern in the Coast al Plains circuit, but illness cut him down. He is now playing with Clay ton in the Tobacco States League, and just recently won a game for them with a timely double in the tenth. Bing is debating whether to go to Dante, Va., to play in the Valley league for two weeks before coming here, or whether to stick at Clayton, coming from there. Miller has had a fine year in base ball, and was certainly smacking that apple until his illness. Folks down Clayton like the way he plays ball and swats the pellet. They want him to stick. When asked about football prospects at the local school, Miller said he thought they would be about par with last year if every one he was expect ing is back. Bing said it would be hard for him YANCE TODAY SATURDAY The Hero of the West Tex Ritter —in— ‘Rider of the Rockies’ Also 14th chapter “Clutching Hand’ and Meany-Miney-Moe Comedy g>aramounte I GIDAIRE’S i I Sut>aift / I Mmubetray l I STEVENSON f I I Amrust 23-24 < FASTER FREEZING | Henderson Furniture Co.

Vaughap was really the best linesman Miller had. and was probably one of the best at the local school for sometime. He was a tower of strength at his tackle post. Miller was far from Deing all gloom. He dropped the hint that he might ex periment with Billy Peace, last year’s plunging, tearing fullback, this year, calling signals from his post. Miller has Billy Dunn and Hunk Coghill com ing back in the backfield. There were others mentioned for these posts. Jenkins at Center The line will be molded around Tommy Jenkins, center, Harris, guard and Big Mitchell, tackle. Mitchell sustained injuries to his teeth in a recent automobile accident, but Miller said he could fix that all right with a protective helmet. Alston was consid ered good enough for an end post. The coach liked the way little Howard Hobgood looked last year, and was pleased to learn on his visit that the boy had put on some weight since last season. The lad has plenty of fight, and that’s what Miller’s teams have to have if they play for him. Schedule Tough In talking over the schedule, the coach said he had picked some tough foes for the Bulldogs to sharpen their teeth for. He mentioned Chapel Hill, HENDERSON, (N. C.)

The high school athletic field has been Worked over during the summer months, and appears to be in fine condition for the season ahead. Miller has some big ideas for his ball players, and he wants all his candidates to turn out the first day ready 1 for plenty of hard work, and he hop'es a successful season. PIEDMONT LEAGUE Team W.

WJSPESS BBT MODERATE COST A WATKINS PITCHING MIGHTYJOOO BALL Lyn Has Best Per Centage of Any Nashville Hurler; Won 13, Lost 6 Lyn Watkins, Zeb Vance high school pitching product, is the leading hurler on the Nashville, Tenn., Southern As sociation baseball team, judging from the pitching statistics of the league recently released that included games through August 11. Watkins has worked in 37 games, hurled 161 innings, winning 13 games and losing six for an average of 684. Lyn set high school circles afire around here while he was a mere lad, and then Otto Pahlman took him un der his wing for a tour of semi-pro baseball before Watkins joined the Nashville club. Hfs first year there, Watkins was sent down to Jackson ville, Texas, in the East Texas league, where he turned in good enough games to be carried back to Nashville, where he has stuck since. Watkins is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Watkins, of the Bearpond com munity, and a few months ago he took unto himself a bride, a fair lady whom he wooed while winning gamer down in Texas. Lyn’s ball club, by the way, is rest ing in second place in the loop. Worldwide Crop Control Is Only Effective Kind (Continued from Page One.) in years, a cotton-raising boom was on overseas. We disregarded the fact ihat the price of Texas cotton is not dictated by the size of the American crop nor the demand of New England mills. No Economic Boundaries. Cotton is an international commod ity. Its price depends on the size of Brazilian, Egyptian and American crops and the demand of the Man chester, Osaka, Milan and Fall River mills. Our AAA program, like every nationalistic policy, was basically un sound because it forgot that economi cally all countries are one. The Unit ed States cannot control world cotton, wheat, or gold prices any more than Georgia, Kansas or Nevada can con trol the United States price of these commodities. National boundaries mean no more to economic laws than state boundaries. Now with our excel lent 1937 crop, about 40 per Cent of which must be sold abroad, we find the way to our old markets blocked by foreign cotton. The inevitable result is a lower world price for the new crop. This out come, however, was not unexpected. Other countries had tried similar schemes and failed. Britain and rub ber, Cuba and sugar, Brazil and cof fee were all good examples of the fu tility of crop control. Nature would have wiped out the cotton surplus in her own way. Actually it took the drought to clean up the job in the end. The South’s agricultural problem is basically deeper than too much cot ton. It is lack of proper diverfication of crops. Cotton has been over-em phasized at the expense of other pro ducts. The South realizes this and her agricultural bureaus are now en couraging diversification. But at the moment all eyes are focussed on “King Cotton.” Record World Crop. Cotton consumption seems to fol low a two-year cycle. The 1936-37 sea son was a record year for cotton use. So unless business is tremendously good it looks like the next twelve months will be the “off” season. If that’s the case, cotton will be in a weaker position statistically, and with out interference the price might go still lower. Actually the best thing for the South is to let the price seek its own let/el'. However, something apparently had to be done politically to help ‘the planter.” An outright sub sidy rather than a “pegged" price is preferable. The American price should be allowed to work along with the world ipricel. Lower quotations will help consumption and they are the only means by which we can gain back our lost export markets. The government reckons this year’s American crop at 15,590,000 bales— an increase of 3,200,000 bales over the 1936 figure. It also predicts a jump of 1,000,000 bales to a record total of in foreign growths. This means a world crop of 35,000,000 bales! America’s output will repre sent 44 per cent of the world crop a gainst 63 per cent in 1931, while Brazil, for instance, will produce five per cent as compared with two per cent, six years ago! Despite J e “two year cycle,” better consumption will do its share in cleaning up the 1937- 38 crop. The improvement in world demand last year was 3,600,000 bales. In all 31,000,000 bales were consum ed. With business heading toward prosperity another substantial gain in cotton use is possible. Boon To Crop Handlers. Even if the current drop in price o£ cottbn continues, it will not hurt us in the long run. It will help to prevent excessive plantings next year, which high prices for this season’s cotton would inevitably have brought on. Good crops at medium prices pro- Wife Preservers Store jars ot fruit juices in refrigerator for emergency use in hot weather.

There are thous ands of towns through the South whose livelihood depends not on the price of the crop alone, but on the \ olume and the price. Warehouses, ginners, exporters, commission mer chants, field hands, and the like are set up to handle bumper crops, not short crops. They are all rejoicing over the first good harvest in five years. The attitude cf those who want crop control is easy to understand. Flanters and 1* -cers say to me “coo perations nave been controlling out put for years. When inventories get too heavy, you simply shut down your factories. You do not make your pro ducts at a loss.' That, of course, is true. Manufacturers then close up chop and lay off neir people. The in c.urtrialfsts, w 1 or, do not ask Fed eral subsidie. for their closed fac *..Ties nor d-- th*'y ask for pegged prices. “No,’ my farm friends reply, ‘but manufacturers peg prices by boosting tariffs to keep out cheaper foreign goods. This encourages othe’" countries to plant their own cotton and wheat, thus cutting down the de mand ior our products.” Control fflus: Be World Wide. This argument brings me back to my earlier statement that econom ically there are no boundaries. The only possible way crop control might be successful is if the cotton and wheat crops of all countries could be controlled by an international board. But, of course, with nationalism run ning wild, such thoughts are now fan- PHOTOPLAYS “AIR CONDITIONED” STEVENSON LAST TIMES TODAY nfll £1 TOMORROW WILLIAM BOYD —in— ‘North of The Rio Grande’ Starting new serial “SECRET AGENT X-9” Plus Comedy The STATE Cool Comfortable TODAY TOMORROW John Mack Brown—in “BOOTHILL BRIGADE” Painted Stallion and Comedy SUNDAY ONLY Tom Tyler—in “RIP ROARING BUCKAROO” All Times 10 and 25c ftiffi.n '' —w—. ~ I Pine Try Our Pasteurized Milk—Whipping Cream—Buttermilk' Southern Ice Cream Co.
