Praying for rain doesn't makej the rain any better. j The only way to stop the sale of liquor is to give it away. A girl is safe in marrying a fat man for a fat man necr stoops to anything low. The man who wrote "I'm Afraid to Go Home in the Dark" never lived in Roanoke Rapids. There is one consolation in living next to a graveyard and that is your neighbors mind their own business. Opportunity knocks but once, that is why so many people are knock-need. There will be a great fuel saving this winter if the people will just cut out Coke-a Coal-a. A rainy day below the Mason and Dixon line causes a lot of Southern Exposures. M?ny a married man could save money if he was just a moth and could eat holes. The columns of your home town newspaper are the best of adver tising mediums but it is a waste of money to advertise in them for a lost reputation. When a man gets up in the morning and steps on a tack the minute he gets out of bed, loses his collar button underneath the bureau, is too late to work, gets an awful calling down from the boss, goes to dinner and when about to pay for aforesaid meal finds he has lost all the money he had in the world, loses a half a dozen customers for the firm he works for by his grouchiness in the afternoon, has to stay three hours after closing to strike a balaiice, goes home and finds his wife has run away with another man, how can he sing "This is the End of a Perfect Day?" ORGAN RECITAL AT ALL SAINTS' CHURCH OCTOBER 7 Dr. Hubert McNeill Poteat, a member of the faculty of Wake Forest College has arranged to give an organ recital on the new organ in All Saints' (Episcopal) Church on Friday night, October 7th, at seven forty-five o'clock.

"Chester, the original of Sir Wil liam Union's famous picture "La Chef," which the artist had presented to the Koyal academy as his diploma work, is liow chef of the griU at the Koynl Palace holel, Kensington, Lon don. i lie manager of toe ' lO furls on business, called, out of cu riosity, at the Hotel Chatl lo see tin- chef whose portrait had attracted such attention. In conversation "Chester" would talk of- nothing but a wonderful new sunce he had Just made. The manager sampled It and realized, In his own phrase, that "Chester Is, In his own way, as great an artist as Kir William orpeu." He Immediately offered him a very substantial salary In return for his services during the season. "Chester" at first refused to leave furls, hut dually succumbed to what Is said to be the largest salary an assistant chef has ever earned. London Times. Military Poker.

Raleigh, Sept 1 1, 1921. - Lo- I ! ,.L 1 cai fciiowers are reported in a greater part cf the drought stricken area of North Carolina, but the hot, dry weather still prevails over most of the .state, according to the county agents' reports received by the Crop Re porting Service for the week end ing September 12. The Weather niirpnn rpnnrt.; tomiicr'itiii.flt- slightly above norma! for the same period and scattered show ers, which were more general in the western half of the state. The drought, though, is still un broken and most of the main streams in the state remain low. A few areas in the mountain and coastal districts report a good corn crop but the state's crop has been cut short by the drought and the quality damaged. A great deal of corn that was planted for grain is being cut for feed and silage. Cotton picking is well under way the second picking being in progress in j many places. The crop shows j nine, u any, improvement ana late cotton is seriously damaged by the boll weevil in southern coastal and piedmont sections. Shedding has been checked to some extent; early maturing of cotton is conspicious. Tobacco curing is nearly over in the upper belt and the crop is being graded and marketed in eastern counties. The crop is below average in yieldand quality.. Truck is burnt and dry owing to lack of rainfall, except some mountain counties. Hay, grasses, and pastures also are poor, although good crops are reported in some lower coastal and western areas. Live stock is fair to good, cat tle being below normal in cer tain areas where the drought has oeen extremely severe. Hog cholera is reported in Transyl vania. Hay harvesting is under way, sorghum cane is being harvested, and many farmers are preparing to sow large acreages to winter clover crops. Fodder pulling is still in progress. In the national crop notes for September 9, the Federal De partment of Agriculture reports that the corn crop of the United States is developing and matur ing favorably over the nation. A favorable yield is expected for most of the late corn but the midsummer drought has cut the yield of the early crop Plow ing for winter wheat is under way and some seeding has begun. Yields of spring planted hard wheat, which is about to be har vested and threshed, are below average. Cotton picking and gin ning are making good progress. The drought and heat have caus ed much mature opening of the bolls, and a great deal of weevil damage is reported. BALM FOR RAINY VACATIONS "Weather Insurance" Designed t Give Monetary Solace to Travel ers That Are Unfortunate. Clot nil your vacation togs?

Yon may lie so constituted tliat I ho money would fail to console you for t lie lost vacation (lays, hut there arc oilier fol lows, who would pray for rain In order to "heat the company." Tlie idea comes from England, where all sorts of freak Insurances are prac ticed. Iteconls of the I'nited States weather bureau are used to figure out rates based on the probabilities of preclpllation in any (riven part of the I'nited States and Canada. One In surance company points with pride to the fact that lust year it paid $11, 1 to the W'altham fair on account of loss due to a rnlny day, the fair corporation having taken out a rain policy. And the Kansas free fair at Topeka was protected by fl $25,000 rain policy with a Rrttish company. SCHOOLS GAIN IN i PUPILS ENROLLED! Opened Monday and Enrollment First j Four Days Reached 1457 Against 1150 for Last Year. : The Roanoke Rapids Public Schools opened last Monday with ' an enrollment which by Thurs day had reached 1457 pupils. Last year the enrollment for the j frst four days was approximate. t ly 1150 pupils. The enrollment this year is approximately 26 per cent more than last year. Judging from figures of previous years, the maximum enrollment for this year will probably reach 1750 pupils, There are fifty eight teachers in the faculty, with the present enrollment about twenty five pupils to the teacher. The Foreign Exemption Clause. A feature of the tax bill which has been wjdely discussed in the press is the exemption of per sons and corporations from tax ation 80 per cent of whose 'in comes are derivedjrom business done abroad. The manner in which this provision will work out has been clearly forecasted by Representative Beck (Rep., Wis.), as follows: "Another provision of this bill which seems indefensible to me is that which exempts those per sons and corporations from tax ation SO per cent of whose in comes are derived from business done in foreign countries. A very plausible reason was offered for his exemption. It is said that it was done to place our own citi zens on an equal footing with citizens of other countries in developing foreign trade. But here is what will happen. The railroad officials and their secur ity holders have taught some of our captains of industry a great lesson. They have been organi zing subsidiary companies, whose stock is owned by railroad officials and railroad security holders, for the manufacture and repair of cars and locomotives and have been taking this class of work out of shops owned by the stock holders of the railroad and plac ing it in these subsidiary com panies at four and five times what it cost to do this work in the railroad shops, and in this way they have been bleeding the public of millions and millions of dollars. Failing to bleed the public of still more millions, they are coming in here with a bill next week that will enable them to reach over into the Treasury and taKe out $500,000,000 more. "Now, what will happen under this bill? Why, the tanners, the manufacturers of farm machin ery, the coal barons, the makers of boots and shoes, the grain buyers, the Tobacco Trust, the millers, and dozens of others will torm subsidiary companies to sell goods in foreign countries and will not pay a cent's tax, on the millions they will probably make. They will pay nothing for the service Uucle Sam ren ders them in affording them the opportunity to make money abroad." John Smith Buys Out White Brothers. Mr. John C. Smith of Rose mary has purchased the garage business of Whit Bros, and has already taken possession. A part of the garage is in the hands of the carpenters who are con verting it into a room for auto mobile supplies. Messrs. Mort imer White and Claude Peele will be retained as mechanics. So There!
