Marketing Cotton The announcement that the business men and farmers are organizing in an effort to finance the Southern cotton crop through the European crisis, is one of the most important events that has shown up on the industrial hori zon for many years. There have been numerous plans sprung Hut of this great problem w hereby the farmer could chase the bear to his den at so much per chase, but the bear always escaped, and the fanner was usually caught, and many would-be financiers have talked as voluminously on the subject as a book farmer dis cussing the boll weevil. But the present plan cuts out the middle man. The man with the cotton and the man with the money are now talking face to face, and it is a great hour for Dixieland.

LITTLE JOHNNY AND MARY r .fraC''f.a' "ni 'or ,e.e"n Our School Coys and Lirls ' Strong and Healthy People are apt to think that when a child is old enough to go to school, it is able to take care of itself. Because a child can dress itself, wash its own lace and bands, march oil' to school every dav, and knows enough to come home when it is time to eat, does not excuse the mother from c. i tain very important duties in lelation to the child's health. W hutever is done for the child to make it strong and well, will show itself III good work at scl I, and latter on in better manhood and womanhood. School children need to be protected from their own ignor ance. What we can do for them in the years that they are going to school means a w hole life time of health and ability. Pro per food; clothing, rest and out door exercise are the important things to remember in caring for them. Many children who do not keep up with their classes and who sometimes do not succeed in get ting through school at all, are children who have some physical defect. Sleep School children, like other children, should sleep with windows open both summer and winter. Fresh air is the best protection against disease. No child between the age3 of six and ten should go to bed lat er than eight o'clock in the even ing. The idea that the child will be benefited by play in the street until ten or eleven o'clock at night because it is summer is wrong. Much harm is often done by late hours in the way of overtiring the child and over taxing its strength. It is better for children to lie straight, so that their backs will be straight, or to have a very Hat pillow under their heads. Children's bones are not very hard, and the oftener they are bent in one particular way, the more likely they are to stay in that particular shape, and high pillows may bend bones unnatur ally. Children should go to bed and get up at regular times. Unless they are sick, they should get up as soon as awake and not lie in bed. Food School children, in or der to have the proper amount of strength, must be well fed with plain food that is easily di gested. They are not ready to eat everything that grown people eat. It is as important that a school child should have its meals at regular hours as it is for the I little baby, and that the school child should eat little between regular nnals. Without food, the school child cannot work. Before School No school child should be permitted to go to school in the morning until the mother ij certain it has been washed, combed and had its teeth brushed. There should al so be a daily movement of the bowels, preferably before the time of leaving fur school. Many a child is dull or restless throughout the school morning because this duty has been neg lected. After School Hours Children, after school time, should spend the daylight hours outdoors in play. A near-by play ground or a park is the best possible place, if there is no grassy yard. If there are lesson to be prepar ed, they should be done just be fore or just alter the evening meal. The child should not play outdoors after dark, except in liiiinmer months. Adenoids: Prevention and Cure --Children should be watched from the time they are babies to see that they breathe through their noses and not through opened mouths. Breathing with the mouth open is often a sign that growths are growing behind the child's nose, called adenoids. The school doctor or nurse (may call attention to these, .and ask you to have them removed. Children w ith adenoids may not speak distinctly. They often snore when they sleep. They are often mentally dull. They catch diphtheria more easily than other children, and if they get it and the adenoids have not been removed, they will be very sick. The Ears - Children's ears should be carefully cleansed, fre quent w ith a little piece of soft cotton wound around the end of a match and moistened. After using a wet piece, a dry piece should be applied. The same piece should not be used twice, or put from one ear into the other. The Nose - Children's noses should lie kept clean by fre quently use of clean handker chiefs or tissue paper. Two children should not use the same handkerchief. The Mouth The care of the child's mouth includes the care of its teeth. People with poor teeth cannot chew well, and are therefore not able to disgest food properly. The child should be trained to rinse its mouth careful ly every morning with a little water-very cold or very hot water should not be used, as it will injure the enamel (the hard covering) of the teeth. The teeth should le carefully brush ed every morning and every evening. Bathing -The skin should be kept clean through frequent bath ing. In summer time it is es pecially necessary that children should bathe often. It helps to avoid prickly heat, keeps them cool and brings healthful sleep. Very hot or very cold baths should not be taken. A warm bath with a little sponging off with cold water is the right thing for the child. The hands and the face should be washed before each meal. Dirty hands may contain some disease germ, which is carried into the mouth on the food, and into the body in this way. Wet Feet and Sore Throat -One very fruitful cause of sore throat is wet feet. A child should not be allowed to go to school on wet days without rub bers and umbrella. The cost is saved many times over as a re sult of the lessened amount of illness. A child who spends several hours with damp or wet shoes on will nearly always show symptons of sore throat soon af ter. The shoes and stockings should be changed immediately on entering the house, and the feetthorougly dried if they are in any way damp. Clothing - The clothing of school children should be light but warm. Garments of pure wool shrink and are not economi cal. Things made of cotton and wool are less expensive, and wear better. Wool absorbs per spiration and does not allow the skin to become cold as easily as cotton underclothing. After a childs runs or is playing hard outdoors and perspires a great deal, his warm underclothing helps to prevent him from catch ing cold. If a sweater is used, it gives better protection if it is covered with a coat than if it is worn time. In fact, most active school hoys can go through an a verage winter with a warm sweater ami a coat if they wear warm underclothing. Sweaters or other knitted garments worn outdoors, and scarfs or mufflers, should never he worn in the house. They do not give proper protection outdoors if they are worn indoors. Girls can wear different weights of wash dress es throughout the school year if they, too, have the protection of warm underclothing from wrists to ankles. Shoes Shoes lor growing children should tit comfortably and should not be worn after they are too tight. Lace shoes give the best supjiort for the ankles. Much suffering is caused by wearing badly shaped shoes. When the children grow up to be men and women they are ; sometime unable to walk be- A ROYAL PARADE The Wheeler Bros. Show Pageant an Extended Procession of Regal Splendors Besides the standard gay, glit tering and spectacular pageantry offerings of the bigger circuses, there are announced uncommon, pompous and historical additions, among which the Oriental sec tion will command unusual at tention as an especially striking innovation with the Wheeler Bros. Shows, which exhibit here Friday, Oct. 9th. The manage ment invite general and critical attention to this all new feature free street parade, which, unless delayed by untoward circum stances, will leave the grounds daily at 10 o'clock in the morn ing. It is really a maatodoiiic and rich reproduction of a gor geous fete or pageant of Oriental splendors, w ith hundreds of men and women seen in indescribably ostentatious and lavish display of priceless jewels and costumes. There are ' hundreds of people and horses in almost endless pro cession, besides the herds of elephants, camels, dromedaries sacred cattle, zebras, and zebus with costly trappings and para phernalia to give the requisite coloring and embellishment to the perpetuation of a brilliant event which outshines the elastic conception of the most fanciful recorders of pageantry glorious. In this massive street parade the innumerable embellished wild animal dens will be seen with their sides removed and through the bars exhibiting a majority of the magnificent wild animal performances. In many other respects the brilliant pageant will be strikingly .original, full of surprises and sensations, merri ment and music, lavish richness, cute ponies, tableaux cars of Oriental and modern designs and bewildering beauty, pretty wo men costly gowned and costum ed, gallant men, brilliantly guard ed, a large colony of clowns, cav alrymen, huntsmen, buglers, jockeys and charioteers. Prior to the parade and from the moment of the early arrival of the trains bearing these great shows until their departure in the night every, consideration will be shown the public. The populace will receive an early morning welcome at the cross way w here the trains are un loaded, and may view the inter esting operations without fear of , unpleasant ' experience. The train superintendents, and through them their subordinates, have been instructed to be polite and courteous at all times, and in no possible manner to offend the most sensitive either by word or action. On the show grounds the same rule is rigidly enforced in all departments, whether large or small. Ladies without escorts and children unattended are assured respectful considera tion on the show grounds, as every employee has been consti tuted a gardian for their protec tion. In fact nothing has been left undonp that would enhance the comfort, pleasure and peace of mind of even the most esthet ic patron of this great ' circus aggregation. Advt. Whittaker-Edmonds Mr. J. F.

PRESIDENT WILSON Appoints Next Sunday as Day (or Prayer for Peace in Europe Next Sunday. Octolier 4th. is the day chosen by President Wilson for all of the churches and christian people of this country to pray for peace m Europe.

Morton will hold Presbyterian Services especially along this hue in the Peoples Theatre at Roanoke Rapids, Sun day morning, his subject being the "Brotherhood of Man."

( Reported. ) A Square Deal The National Farmers' Union is demanding a square deal from Congress and State Legislatures on the marketing of farm products. The Federal and State Govern ments have been spending mil lions of dollars annually in urg ing the farmer to increasing pro duction, but little attention has been given to the marketing side of the question. It is a well know paradox that the larger the crop the less the value and a stimulant to produc tion without corresponding aid in marketing, loses much of its worth to agriculture. The Na tion is fast awakening to the fact that marketing, and not produc tion, is the problem of the farm er. Social Centers The crying need of rural North Carolina is social centers w here our young people can be enter tained, amused and instructed under the direction of cultured, clean and competent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful; where art charges the atmos phere with inspiration and pow er, and innocent amusements in struct and brighten their lives. To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive, as well as the business id' farming more re munerative. The school house should he the social unit, proper ly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessary Mo ments of human thought and activity. CALL FOR NON PARTISAN CONFERENCE IS SENT OUT Meeting In Raleigh On Oct. 3 In Interest Of The Amendments Raleigh. Sept. 2'.l. A call for a lion partisan conference of Re publicans, Democrats and Pro gressives was issued today and the meeting is set for October 3. The committee that has signed the invitation is composed of prominent North Carolinians, but the work has been done chiefly by Collector J. W. Bailey, a member of the constitutional a meiiilnieiit commission appointed last .war by Governor Craig, and in the interest id' which amend ments the conference is asked. Some of the most distinguished men in the minority parties have been asked and have indicated their desire to attend. The call reads: "You are invited by the under signed to attend an informal con ference in the rooms of the chamber of commerce at Raleigh, October -1, at noon, for the pur pose of considering what may be done in the present campaign by the advocates of the adoption of the amendments to the constitu tion of North Carolina, to furth er that most important cause. "While it appears that our people generally are in favor of these amendments it must be recognized that there is grave danger that they will be defeated unless concerted action is quick ly taken to arouse the electorate. To devise ways and means of bringing about such action is one of the objects of this meeting. "This invitation is sent only to a limited number (about 120) of citizens, these representing all political parties. It is very im portant, we believe, that you shall be present. If you cannot come, you are at liberty to au thorize some other citizen of your county to take your place; and you may invite any one to come with you. But this letter is sent to you because we believe that you appreciate the import ance of the amendments and will do your utmost for them. We count on your coming, if it is reasonably possible. "Yours truly. "C. H. Poe, "R. R. Williams, "W. A. HlLDEHRAN'D, "A. L. Brooks, "A. E. Holton, "J. W. Bailey-" One On the Bishop Bishop Brindle, the well known English clergyman, sometimes tells this story against himself, relates the Pittsburg Dispatch. Dining at Sir Evelyn Woods he narrated the old story of the small boy who, going to a party, was instructed to refuse cake, as he had not been very well. "But suppose they ask me again mum my'.'" he said. "Oh you must still say, "No, thank you." "And if they ask me again'.'" "Oh, they wouldn't be so rude as to do that. Now, it is time you were oil'." The small hoy re turned home in tears. Asked what had happened, he replied: "Well mummy, they asked me to have cake, and I said, 'No thank you;' and they asked me again, and I said, 'No, thank you;' and then they asked me again, and 1 said just like daddy says, 'Take the dam thing away ". At that moment a passing footman caught the bishop's last words, and with a strat swooped down on his half-finished plaic, and bore il away. An Experiment Dad (from the hall) -Why, Marjorie, how dim the light is in here! Freddy (the fiancee, not a col lege graduate in vain) Yes, .sir, Professor Munsterberg has a theory that brilliant light be numbs the intellect. We are ex perimenting to find the degree of illumination by which the at tention is kept vivid and the mental functions active.
