THE LINCOLN COUNTY MILK DRINKERS CLUB A Message To Boys And Girls Milk "The Master Carpenter (By Miss Alexander, Health Nurse.) Milk has a power beyond all other foods to build strong bodies for boys and girls. Every time, you drink a glass of milk, you are really setting to work fine magic little carpenters, who are expert body builders. Protein the Muscle Builder Protein is the carpenter who builds muscles and brings you energy and vU tality for work and play. You find him in the thick curd of sour milk and in cheese. You also find him in meat, but he does better work when he lives in the milk bottle than when he comes from the butcher shop. : Lime the Bone Builder , . The carpenter called Lime or Cal cium builds strong tones and firm white teeth. ', ' , - Fa.t the Warmth and Energy Builder If you would have warmth for your body, you must call upon the merry little carpenter called Fat. He also gives-' you emrtjy to work and play like his brother protein. Sugar Another Warmth -and Energy Builder Sugar is . another busy carpenter who helps his brother Fat make both warmth and enegry. The "Magic Triplets. There are three mysterious carpen ters who work as if by magic. They have been called the Vitamines, and we know very little about them except that they have magic power of mak ing your body grow. In order that these helpful little builders may give you their full sharo of work, you must drink at least a pint of milk a day. You may drink this from a glass, or take it in Coco, creamed vegetables or puddings. Iron the Body Builder. But to do their best work these milk carpenters need to work side by side with other workmen, one of whom is called Iron, who builds red Wood. ton -cari'secureli isswvicef ftyathig plenty of green vegetables and f riute. You will also find Iron in eggs and meat. ; ". .;: .-. The Laxative Brothers. ; But vou will have to have some workmen to keep your house in order, while all these carpenters are at work, For this you call upon Laxative Brothers- by eating fruits and green vegetables, so that your intestines and kindneys may keep clean and ac tive... . '"' v . '. -.' . More Energy Builders Because active boys and girls need so much energy, you must futher help the milk carpenters by eating plenty of bread and cereals -Up To Weight for Height and Age If you do not let all these helpful little fellows do their work, you will have a week, tired; body, and you will not weigh enough for your height and age. : ' , : : Drink milk in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon as well as at meals. Several hundred children in Lincoln County Schools have joined the Milk Drinkei Club and are weighing each week,' this record is being kept on the Health Crusade Chart in the school room.

More than $40,' 000,000 will be invested in new textile mill construction during 1923 in North and South Carolina, according to a concise and authorized, tabulation of new mill enterprises ' and mill, addi tion$ just completed by the Southern Textile Bulletin of this city. A total of 573,000 new spindles and Approximately 12,000 new looms will be included in mills or mills additions which have been started or announced, These "figures do not include, however, projects which are contemplated but have not been announced. The total of hew equipment for the year will, therefore, very likely be in excess of these figures. ' North Carolinaihas to: day approximately 5,500,000 spindles and David dark, editor of the South ern Textile Bulletin, believes it will pass the 6,000,000 mark during the present year. In reviewing the past year in the textile Industry in North Carolina Editor Clark stated: "While the past year has not been one of uniform prosperity for the cot ton manufacturing industry of North Carolina, it has produced a gradual return to normal conditions and a re covery from the precarious conditions of 1921. It also has brought a resump tion of full time operations, even though at small profits, as compared to the enforced idleness due to lack of orde'rs that prevailed during 1921. V "The real feature of 1922 has been enormous publicity that has been giv en to the advantages of southern cotr ton mills over those of New England.

Thn textile industry of North Card lina,after a period of Uncertainty, is finishing the vear with a spirit of op timism, and is looking forward with confidence to a steady return of nor mal conditions, according to Hunter Marshall, Jr., secretary and treasurer of the Cotton Manufacturers Associa tion of North Carolina. Mr. Hunter state: ;''.- ' ' ':;.- "The last half of the present year has been marked by a vigorous resum ption in mill building. North Caro lina is easily leading -not only the southern-states but all the states in the union in the number of spindles it is installing and preparing to install. The state has led for some time in the number of cotton millsr and is now leading in the amount of cotton con sumed. "Several causes are contributing to the development of the textile indus try hero. Probably most important of all is the attitude of the public toward industry. Our people have seen and appreciated the part textile and other industries have played in the remark able progress which North Carolina has enjoyed during recent years and they are distinctly friendly. Another factor is the availability, of conven ient, efficient electric power. . Still another that is having a marked fluence is the difference in the tax rate between this and most ' other manufacturing states.

The church of Christ was severely blamed for the occurrence of the last war.; That the Gospel should have 3een so long on earth andj yet should not have prevented the great castastrophe with all its ; hideous cruelty and suffering was a charge against the church so serious, that all thoughtful .ministers felt its force and were driven defensively . to meet it. Even more will another war bring down on the church : of Christ, the charge of moral cowardice and fatal inefficiency. 'Yet another war is being prepar ed in the vindictive hatreds, the: na tionalistic ambitions, theschemes of racial and imperial self-aggrandizement which mark the worlds inter national relationships. The spirit of HUNDRED BALES DAILY Raleigh, Jan. 9 Several hundred bales are being received 'daily by the North Carolina Cotton Growers' Co operative Association, according to a report issued from the headquarters here today, but no more heavy re ceipts are expected by the association. The Association announces that it has practically completed making its second advance of $25 a' bale on all cotton delivered prior to December 1st. -As soon as this work ia finished the second advance on cotton deliver ed since that date will be taken up. Iore than six million dollars has been paid out oh the first advance of fifty dollars a bale while three million dollars has been paid on the -second advance. ; The Tar Heel cotton and tobacco co operatives began the New Year by joining hands to prevent waste of ef fort in organization work in those Selections where both commoditie are grown. At a joint conference of the field representatives of the two asso ciations here, plans were made for the organization of joint county and com munity groups of growers of both cot ton and tobacco. 'Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of the State Agricultural Extension "Service, who participated in the conference as jdid the district agents, urped the im portance of improved production along with improved marketing, and predicted that the organization of strong commodity locals would be the means of accomplishing great things for agriculture in this State, Dr. J. Y. Joyner, veteran educator, now a director In the tobacco associa tion, stressed the fact that both co operatives are composed of growers and producers, and that this must not be lost sight of.

(By H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Observer.) Bastrop, La., Jan 10. Louisiana is confronted with a real proposition here. The kidnapping of J. L. Daniels, a man of wealth, a Mason, 67 years old, his son, Watt Daniels, W. C. An drew, a young farmer with means, Thomas T. Richards, and others in broad daylight, on the public highway, and taking them into the woods and beating them was serious enough, but the indications are that two of the party were brutally murdered. These alleged crimes were committed , by hooded men, armed with shotguns, rifles and pistols. Witnesses have testified that they believe klansmeij committed the deeds. This belief is based on the fact that the Ku Klux Klan had been very ac tive about here, regulating people of the community and making a stab at enforcing the. prohibition laws. Cotton Farming Region Bastrop is located in the heart of a cotton farming region.. It is the capi tal of Morehouse parish, the parish corresponding to a North Carolina county, Its population is approxima tely 2,000 much of which is colored. A Tar Heel of the present day would feel out of place here, for the roads are bad, the use of the horse and sad dle still a feature, and the wearing of ig hats cowboy effect common.
