The citizens of this community will have an opportunity this week to at tend the Community Chautauqua that hold forth for six days under the big tent on the High school lot. They have been running from time to time a very interestig program, and if the personel is as good as that of last year our readers will enjoy the time spent in attendance upon each day's program. Last .night we had Lenze's Cava- liers. This quartet gave an excel lent entertainment of classical and popular American airs. Today we have Peter McQueen wth his illustrat ed lecture "Our Relations South of the Rio Grande." Dr. McQueen is a noted traveller and lecturer. The program for the day also has the Ker ry Singers with the best Irish and American songs and music. Tomorrow the Floyds will offer their big entertainment of magic, mirth, mind reading and illusion. This per formance is on of the big features of Chautauqua week. And so each day brings its attrac tions throughout the entire six day program. We all know that times are tight and that money is a thing of the year 1919, but somewhere in reach we all have a few spare dollars which may be spent for fun, recreation and frolic; for all work makes Jack a dull boy, and Mrs. Jack and the chil dren are honest good workers and are entitled to the recreation. Vaccination Campaign Was Very Successful The campaign for the prevention of typhoid and diptheria has been brought to a close in this county with great success. Our physicians report over 12,000 treatments administered. Large crowds met the physicians at all appointments and the treatment has been successful and invaluable. A large factor in making possible this campaign has been the publicity given through the newspapers of the coun ty. Those in charge have wisely used the advertising columns of the county newspapers and the result has been thathe appointments have been promptly and largely attended. Those who have not availed them selves of free treatment as given by the State and county can be treated by our physicians for a small fee, and it would be the part of wisdom to con sult your physician and obtain this treatment.

He knows how to do good work and parents may feel as sured that their children ,will receive the same careful treatment that any dentist would give them. Any community desiring Dr. Waller to come to its school would do well to write through some representative citizen, and have an appointment made. Dr. Waller will be in the coun ty only four weeks, and the state will not keep him here even for that time unless our people want him enough to keep him bu3y, since urgent -calls i j i 1 x? come daily irom oxner counties.

Edward Allen would be glad to have some citizen write from any community, telling approximately how many children from 6 to 12 years old could be expected, so that an en gagement can be made.

A TEST A professor in the University of Chicago told his pupils that he should consider them educated, in the best sense of the word, when they would say yes to every one of four teen questions he should put to them It may be of interest to you to read the questions. Here they are: Has your education given you sym pathy with all good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public-spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak ? . . Have you earned how to maKt friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure woman straight in the eye?. Do you see anything to love in a little child? Will a lonely dog follow you in the street ? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meaner drudgeries of life Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf. Are you good for anything to your, self? Can you be happy, alone? Can. you look out on the world and see anything except dollars and cents ? Can you looB into a mud puddle by the wayside and see anything in the spuddle but mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars? Can your soul claim relationship with the Creator? Selected. Mr. Grover Harris, principal Nor lina High school was in Warrenton this week. Miss Mary Haskins of Boydton, Va., has been the guest . of Miss Mariam Boyd for seeral days. PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY WERE IN JULY State Statistician Frank Parker. Gives to Farmers a Review bf The Tobacco Situation. Tone Optomistic. RALEIGH, Sept. 1. That the sun shine usually follows the rain is as true as that tobacco prices are better than they were in July, reports Frank Parker statistician of the Depart ment of Agriculture upon his return from a trip yesterday. Good grade3 composing 15 per cent of the crop on he border loose leaf markets in Aug'. ust, brought almost as good prices as last year. These may be expected o sell favorably over the entire bright leaf Belt. The fifty per cent of medium grades are much lower than last year, but are far better than the 35 per cent of the crop that is ordinary and which it doesn't pay to haul to the market. These are his finding during the trip just concluded, covering Roberson and Columbus county markets. The estimated average price for August over this belt will be about fourteen cents as compared with about eight in July. The larger pro portion of good grades have helped the August sales. A recent day's break at Fairmont at 26 cents caused many farmers to smile. Whiteville seems to have had the best of the crop, averaging near twenty cents, as compared with less than six in July. Excepting Lumberton all of iumberton averaged about ten cents these markets closed with August. Big breaks were sold during the last days. Thirty cents for. good grades were quoted. Twelve cents for med ium and below three cents for the poorer grades were not unusual. The total production of this belt is for- casted at three fourths of last year's crop with the quality about the same, alhough the color is irregular even if brighter. The texture is the selling factor more than color this year. The unfaorable weather -caused varying color and a rather thin body. The main bright leaf belt has a very variable prospect. Generally however, the "body" is much better than last year. The yield per acre is good in the new and light in the old belts. A terribly dry area is found throughout the upper piedmont counties. The late crops were badly lower than last year's crop. hurt.Most all crops this year have been given more distance and topped. Gentleman Brings In Quite a Curriosity A gentleman who travels over the new road between this . place and Ine brought to town yesterday morn ing two cotton stalks. They grew side by side. In the very tip of ona of the stalks was a beautiful white bloom the only one that the static could bear; upon the companion sta.k in the very tip of the stalk. was a single boll of open cotton. Neither of the stalks was over ten inches high barely that excluding the roots. The cotton was planted and never touched since. The rqad surveyors notified the planter that the roa;l would go across the particular str'yi of land, and of course he did not touch it. Hence the condition of the two stalks: one bearing a single bloom and its companion plucke 1 from beside it, a single boll of open cotton. Mr. E. G. Hecht of Norlina was in town Thursday afternoon conferring with Superintendent Allen.
