Yo4 want better walls and ceilings, in your new home, in present

So you ask for Beaver Board, the original wallboard, that has
been building better walls and ceilings for a dozen years.
But do you know that inferior wallboards are often
sold as Beaver Board? They may look like Beaver Board, feel
like Beaver Board, and even claim to be as good as Beaver Board.
But thej? can't give Beaver Board results.

TO THE FATHERS AND
MOTHERS OF RURAL N. C
We, your sous, students of .Agri
culture in North Carolina State Coi
lege heartily indorse the plan of Co
operative Commodity Marketing of
Farm Products as adopted by the
Cotton and Tobacco Grower's Asso
ciation in their recent meetings in
Ilaleigh. We earnestly beseech, that
for the present and future interests
of Southern Agriculture and for the
development of a richer Rural Civi
lization in the South, that you join
and support this movement and see
yourselves that it is made a success.
We, your sons after careful study
of the present system of Marketing
of Farm Products and after attend
ing the meetings of the Cotton and
Tobacco Growers recently held in Ra
eigh, and after having carefully stu
died the plan of Cooperative Commo
dity Marketing as adopted by them,
do hereby subscribe to the following:
1. Our present system of Market
ing of Farm Products has proved a
failure because our farmers operat
ing individually have not been able
to compete with organized "business
in the worlds markets. This is
shown by the disastrous prices re
ceived" by our farm products in the
last season. As usual the farmers
have suffered more from a fall in
prices than any other class of busi
ness men.
2. We advocate acreage reduction
and formation of export companies
to give immediate relief but we pray
thafvou do not forget that the only
permanent reiief will come thru Co
operative Commodity Marketing.
3. Furthermore we believe it is the
interest of the farmers of North Ca
rolina and the entire South to raise
more of their own food crops.
Taking these facts into considera
tion, we the Agricultural Students of
North Carolina State College, do ear
nestly indorse this movement and ask
that you, our fathers and mothers,
back this present Commodity Mark
eting Movement of Farm Products
in order that the South may once
come to the front as a leader in great
American enterprises and that we as
future farmers of the South may be
assured to return for our labor that
will enauble us to live on an equal
plane with any other class in Ameri
can Civilization.

THE NOVELETTE,
GBTTING.RILL 3IARRIED
(By L. B. Langdale)
"Well, what do you think of her?"
demanded Jane, a note of triumph in
her voice as of one who foresees the
inevitable answer.
"You mean ?" prompted her
i twin.
i "Exactly!" returned Jane. "She's
just the wife for Bill!"
After afternoon the Ladies' Sew
ing Guild had met at the Crossleys',
and Miss Elsie Bisbee, newly arriv
ed in town" and the Guild's new
broom, so to speak, had made a sure
enough hit with Jane and Julia, kid
sisters of Bill. '
"You're right," agreed Julia em
phatically. "Cousin Kitty told
mother she Elsie Bisbee makes
all her own clothes, trims her own
hats and simply adores housework.
So different, Kitty said, from Sally
Sanford."
"Well, I should say!" acquiesced
Jane scornfully. "Sally Sanford and
housework! Sally Sanford making
her own clothes!. Sally Sanford do
ing anything to hats except wear
'em! But," "listen here, Jule, how
are we going to make Bill see that he
ought to marry Elsie?"
Julia considered the question, her
piquant little head poised birdlike
on the side. "I think,", she at last
announced . solemnly, "that taking
things for granted helps a lot Let's
pretend it's all cut and dried between
them, especially when we talk to
Bill!"
At that very, moment, railing at
fate and provoked with himself, Bill
Crossley was swinging the Sanford's
gate behind him. Once more. with a
definite purpose in mind but ravish
ingly pretty Sally,' only to become
wholly inarticulate in her -alluring
presence.
Thus it was, in a mood of utter dis
gruntledness, that Bill ran plumb
into the twins as they emerged, with
the fine edge of their appetite for
supper removed, from the drugstore.
Nor was he disposed to take good
naturedly Julia's opening remark.
"1 expect," she declared, with a
covert glance at Jane, "you've been
calling on er Elsie."
"Thunderation!" cred Bill. "Elsie
who?"
"Why Bill!" Jane opened saucer
like eyes of astonishment. "Elsie
Bisbee, of course!"
"Elsie Bisbee! Elsie Bisbee!
Jane' Crossley, you are insane? Can
you imagine me calling on Elsie Bis
bee. I've a movin' picture of my
self calling on Elsie Bisbee. Parti
cularly, when in the same town Sally
" He checked himself.
But the mischief was done. Be
hind his back, the twins exchanged
glances, glances which said so em
phatically, "Sally Sanford is after
our Bill," that it is a wonder Bill
himself didn't sense a communica
tion which, if true, would have pro
duced in him a delirium of joy.
"I don't think it's to Bill we should
pretend he's going to marry Elsie,"
mused Jane as the two tagged along
some distance in the rear of their
brother who had long since forgotten
their presence in a frenzy of trying
to recall just how he had planned to
word the statement to Sally that he
loved her. "It's it's to other peo
ple." "Uh-huh!" said Jane thoughtful
ly. "We must see that she knows."
Now, in the small town of Middle
boro, it was not in the least difficult
for Jane "and Julia, in the course of
the next few days, to manage a meet
ing, seemingly casual, with the vde
signing Sally. In fact, it was accom
plished with ease when Sally was on
her way to the tennis courts.
"I say Sally," inqoired Julia with
extreme artlessness, "what is a nice

swinging stride to allow these
youngsters some eight years her ju
nior to catch up with her, regarded
them amusedly. "Why, any little

getting engaged that I haven't heard

"Oh er haven't you heard about

"And er our Bill?" chimed in
Julia.

That night, Bill, called to the tele
phone from supper, nearly dropped
the receiver at the words which came
over the wire-
"I hear," said a very, very cool
voice, "that you and a certain young
woman are to be married or some-
thing. I want to be the first to of
fer my congratulations. It s Sally
talking.". By the time Bill had ga
thered his wits sufficiently to reply,
Sally had hung up the receiver.
To this day, the twins never have
learned why, after one wild glare in,
their direction, Bill flung his napkin
on the table and dashed from the
house- Nor did they ever become
cognizant of the passionate outpour
ings of Bill's soul in the Sanford li

Effects Of Constipation.
Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the bodyj
The poisonous refuse that shoura
be carried away is retained in the
system and often poisons the blood
and causes numerous disorders. No
one can afford to neglect his bowels.
A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
afford relief. Avoid drastic cathar
tics as they take too much water
out of the system and their use is
likley to to followed by constipation.
Big Rabbit Business.
During the season which has just
closed the Cash Produce Company, of
Statesville, has shipped 5,478 rabbits.
The shipping season began November
15 and ended January 31. Other lo-
cal firms bought and shipped rabbits
and if the exact figures were known
it would doubtless indicate a big in
dustry. The average price per rab
bit has been about twenty cents.
