THE BIBLE'S INFLUENCE
Of all the books we call best
od's word is different from the rest
It's truths each day to us unfold
The words of life more pure than
gold.
We have our books of education
Of every tongue in every nation
The Bible is the best of all
To save poor sinners from the fall.
Sometimes I think of my childhood
day
When father would read a chapter
and pray.
When I was young and free from care
At mother's knee I learned this
prayer
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray thee Lord my soul to take.
If should die before i wake
I pray thee Lord my sould to take.
Amen."
Early in life in youthful age
When I was twelve years old
The God that gave me first my
breath
Looked down upon my soul
tie caused me then to meditate
Upon my future state.
Gave eyes to see and ears to hear
And caused me Him to fear
J love the Bible more each day
It guideth me along the way
And may it be forever-more
A shining light till life is o'er.
By Mrs. D. H. Thomas.
GERMAN VILLAGE TEACHES
CHESS TO ITS CHILDREN
Berlin, Sept. 4. Virtually every
inhabitant of the little village of
Stroebeck, near Halberstadt in the
Harz moutnains, can play chess. Pro
ficiency in chess playing ranks with
reading, writing and arithmetic in the
Stoebeck village school.
Every year just before the Easter
vacation the school conducts a chess
tournament. The winners receive
chess boards donated by the village.
Tradition has it that the Stoebeck
ers have known how to play chess
since the eleventh century. At that
time Bishop Arnulf of Halberstandt
defeated his opponent, Count Gunze
lin with aid of the villagers of Stbe
beck. The Stoebeckers held the
count captive in an old tower, still
known as the Chess tower, until he
was ransomed by friends. To while
away the time, Count Gunzelin be
gan to instruct his guards in chess.
The guards passed the knowledge on
to t4ie other villagers, until every
body knows' the game. Since then it
has been a matter of communal pride
to instruct each succeeding genera
tion in the art.

WHAT NAME WILL IT BE?
Sent in by Mrs. Maggie Napier.
A lonely mother in a lonely home
Though I have toiled hard to raise
three men grown,
Though God has taken one to His
home above
Where troubles will never come no
morp
Though he was a good boy to me
I love1 him still, I know not what the
name will ho,
Which Christ my Lord will give to
me. ' '"' '
When at my journey's end
I'll st; id with him at the gates of
BeuUh l:v-M'-That
name so sweet in heavenly tone
My Lord will give to me alone
That name will suit my saved soul
My ransomed name while, ages roll
That will mean in heavenly speech,
The greatest love .my soul could reach
And deepest sin's rebellious days
From those redeemed, I'll sing his
praise- i
That name will mean that service
that Christ will give to me to do
No other soul my Lord will ask to do,
my soul's peculiar task.
When the blessed name my Lord shall
speak
With love and joy on His face
I'll seek redeemed -from earthly sin
and shame
I'll answer to my heavenly name.

COTTON CO-OPS
Golden Opportunity to Recoup.
(From Cotton Co-Op. Headquarters.)
"The cotton producers of the
South have a golden opportunity to
recoup some of their losses sustained
last year in marketing an eighteen
million bale crop of cotton below the
cost of production." This is the
opinion of U. B. Blalock, General
Manager of the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Association.
"The cotton spinners of the world
had their opportunity last year and
statistics as issued by Colonel Hester
of the New Orleans cotton Exchange
and by the U. S. Department of Com
merce, show how well they took ad
vantage of their great opportunity.
"With exports around eleven mil
lion bales and domestic consumption
over seven million bales, the total of
export and domestic consumption was
in excess of production by 168,000
bales.
"Last season at the begining of the
annual "Antumnal dip" in the cotton
market Mr. Eugene Myer came South
with his proposed plan to take off
the market four million bales of sur
plus cotton. It now develops that
there was a hidden demand for every
bale of our eighteen million bale
crop that we had produced;
"It is almost inconceivable that any
sensible man would now argue that
the removal of this four million bales
of cotton would not have had a very
stabilizing effort upon the market
and that the producer would not have
received a substantial part of the al
most fifty- per cent increase in the
value of cotton inside a period of six
months. But Mr. Myer's plan did
not work, as no hastily organized plan
for the handling of four million bales
of cotton will ever work. It was an
impossible task to so hastily take off
the market and handle four million
bales of surplus cotton; and besides,
the farmer was too dead broke to bor
row nine or ten cents per pound on
his cotton and meet his obligations.
"But a different situation con
fronts the cotton producers this fall
from that of 1926. Acting on the
advice of those who believe that the
salvation of the farmer is always in
a curtailment of acreage, and with
the aid of the Mississippi floods, we
were able to reduce our acreage one
half of the suggested twenty-five per
cent reduction. With the further aid
of the boll weevil and adverse weather
conditions, we are now confronted,
according to the Government's last
estimate, with less than a 13,500,000
bale crop and our prediction is thajj
the next Government report issued on
:Sept. 8th will be several hundred
thousand bales less than this estimate.

Brady, and other famous sing
ers, actors, broadcasters and pub
lic speakers have found that
makes LUCKY STRIKES delight

For the answer we turned to
medical men and asked them this
question:
Do you think from your experi
ence with LUCKY STRIKE
cigarettes that they are less ir
ritating to sensitive or tender
throats than other cigarettes,
whatever the reason?

tion "YES."

producers take advantage of the pre
sent situation to market this crop
orderly or will they follow the usual
"dumping" process and rush it on
the market as fast as harvested and
thus cause the "Autumnal dip" in
cotton prices that usually follow the
heavy dumping; of cotton on the mar
ket during the fall months. The his
tory of the cotton marketing business
shows that regardless of the size of
the crop that there is almost invari
ably a rush movement of cotton dur
ing the fall months that always causes
what has become known among cot
ton men far and wide as the "Autum
nal dip" or a very long sag in prices.
"Ther is no real necessity for the
"grand rush" to market. Our North
Carolina warehouses, practically all
of them, are bonded and operated un
der very low rate of insurance and
reasonable rate of storage. Seventy-five
per cent of the value of the
cotton can be borrowed from Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks and other
sources at four and one-half per cent
interest and the seventy-five per cent
is far more than the cotton was mar
keted for last year.
"Our bumper crop of 1926 at
twelve cents (and it averaged less
than this) only brought us about $1,
000,000,000. "A thirteen million bale crop at
twenty-two cents per pound will bring
a total crop value of $l,430,00d,000.
"If we can average a price of
twenty-five (25c) per pound, and this
is not at all unlikely, if we gradually
market itf a thirteen million bale crop
will net the South $1,625,000,000, or
approximately 60 per cent more than
our eighteen million bale crop of last
year.
"Let the producers rush their cot
ton to the market and depress the
price two cents (2c) per pound und
the South loses $130,000,000.
"Lower the price four cents (4c)
per pound and our loss is $260,000,
000. "If the eleven million bales we
exported last year could have been
marketed for only 4c per pound more,
or $20.00 per bale, it would have in
creased the value of our export trade
$220,000,000.
"A fair price for the South's great
money crop not only increases the
buying power of the agricultural
South but enriches the whole nation
by increasing export valuation."
