C., FRIDAY, DECEMBE? 21 Number 49 . .e - - - - FARMERS SHOULD SIGN CONTRACTS IMMEDIATELY, MANAGER DAVIS SAYS PROBABLY LAST CALL TO CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING. Whew Will Farmers Not Members of the Association Sell Next Year, County Manager Asks; North Carolina Expects To Sign As Large Percent As Kentucky, He Says. Probably the last call to the tobacco and cotton farmers of Warren County to join the Association is made today by Manager John B. Davis in the article reproduced below. Mr. Davis says that on Dec. 31, when the clock strikes twelve p. nu the books of the Tri-State Tobacco Co-operative Marketing Association and the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co-operative Marketing Association will close. Now there is one question that each farmer is bound to decide for himself, and that is this : "When these books are closed will it find me on the inside or on the outside." You are bound to be on ounds. What are you going way to do about it ? Lets consider both sides of this oucstion as it appears today. Sup cose we don't believe in Co-operative Marketing, or that we are not oppos ed to it, or that we are just careless, indifferent and don't put ourselves to the trouble to obtain and sign a con tract, or for any other reason neg lect it and the books are closed with us on the outside, what will it mean to us ? When The Sale Day Comes. Can we grow a crop of cotton or tobacco and not belong to the Co-operative Marketing Association? Why, certainly we can just as well on the outside as on the inside. Now, when we have grown this crop of cotton and tobacco what will we do with it? Why seli it, of course. Now the next question is the all important question, Md means everything to the producer. To whom will you sell it and? whu price will you receive for it? Can you answer their question to your satisfaction? Are you willing to risk i;-e use of your farm teams ind take y;ui- own labor, the labor of your wife and little children, your guano suddIv bill and all other necessary ex penses for tweve months for the an swer that you are competed to giv. to this question? They answer that the farmer has kcri compelled to give to this question for the past century or more is "I don't know," and next year, brothers, if it finds you on the outside your an swer will be "less" than "I don't know." Will Same Markets Be" Open? Do you think you will have the same markets open to your cotton and to bacco next year that you have hac. in the past. WeU hardly. If you think so go to your tobacco warehouse man and ask him if his warehouse Till be open for the sale of tobacco in the Fall of 1922 as it has in the past. See if their won't be some doubt in his mind as to whether he will open or not. Do you think that with 75 Per cent, of the tobacco signed up in the bright belt that the other 25 Per cent, will be enough for many of the warehouses to remain open? If the houses are open who will buy the tobacco? Do you think the big man ufacturing companies will put a buyer on the market to get a portion of the 25 per cent outside, or would they pre er to go where 75 per cent, is already assembled, redried, graded, packed in hogsheads, and ready to be rolled into lta factory in any quantity desired and at any time wanted, and with a 6arantee behind every package On ti he ether hand if you sign the Co operative Marketing Association will be with the majority. You dl have the satisfaction of knowing hat you have registered your protest fsainst the present system of handi ng cotton and tobacco. You will Ja?e the satisfaction of knowing that have at least made an effort to have some word as to the price you all receive for your year's labor and hose that have toiled with you soon and late. . ; hat Co-operative Offers Farmers. what are your chances, for a sonable compensation for all of ;eUr 0utPut labor and etc with 75 per it of cotton or tobacco properly 4 ' stored and insured and sold exen there is a demand for it, by an J0P.ert desman, whose business it is youK fr markets all the year for tJr ops while you are producing 3m' 1 feel sure that our chances Pfj ai" better for a remunerative ofCe than under the present system Raping all' of our crops on the (Continued! On Page Eleven) Letter Urges Sign Up Now! Cotton and Tobacco Growers Co-operative Associations Raleigh, Dec. 5, 1921 Mr. J. B. Davis, Warrenton, N. C. My Dear Sirr - I am enclosing a letter for your at tention. Please try to have all the territory in Warren covered with a nne tooth comb by Dec. 20th. I have had no report from the coun ty for some time and would like to learn from you just how matters stand. We are having just fine suc cess now everywhere. No opposition at all. Please organize the county so as to be ready to elect the delegates for the selection of our directors for botn cotton and tobacco in January. I believe it would be a good idea to call the attention of every one to the situation now as will prevail next year. Those who can not see their way to join with us in this movement should not plant tobacco next year as they will not have any place to sell it. We are advising all of them now not to grow tobacco next year unless they can sign to sell thru the Association. Let me hear from you as to how the campaign is moving. Yours very truly, A. W. SWAIN, Secty. President Optimistic. ' Decided optimism with respect to the results of the armament confer ence was expressed by President Harding this week in two brief ad dresses, one to a delegation of farm ers and the other at the annual meet ing of the American Red Cross. Allen Spoke Churoh Sunday Adding to and taxing from the Word of God was the general theme of an interesting address in the Baptist Church last Sunday morning by Supt. J. Edward Align. Supt. Allen developed the thought from the 18 anl 19 verses of the twenty-second chapter of Revelation. He said! that all religions other than the Christian faith represented adding to the Word of God, an addition which gave the members of those sects a different angle of interpretation. "It is the tendancy of the individual to do likewise and write into a concep tion of the Bible a broad, non-inter-ferring religion." . "Other take from the Book its un mistakable precepts in order to justi fy action which fails to square with their code ' of morals or ethics," he said. He closed his address with a repe tition of the penalty for adding to or taking from God's law as written in His message to the world. Rev. E. R. Nelson spoke at Baptist.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 Special to The Warren Record. New Yord will aid Sergeant Alvin York, characteriz ed as the war's greatest hero, to rea lize his ambition of founding a non sectarian school for the mountaineers in his native State of Tennessee. York owes $18,750 on a farm which the Nashville Rotary Club volunteered to obtain for him. Though the farm is only partly improved, York has been working it with the means at his du posal, while living with his wife and child in a small room in his mother's cabin at Pall Mall, Tenn. With the income to be derived from this farm York hopes to found the non-sectarian school for the benefit of his neigh bors who have been denied educational opportunities. York's personal in debtedness now amounts to about $3000 for farm buildings to house hn stock and produce. To assist York in his effort to help his fellowmen, William A. Brady, the New York theatrical producer, has an nounced that he will organize a series of benefit performances. The pro ceeds from these perforances will bt. applied toward paying York's indebt edness. . . Sergeant York's single-handed kill ing of twenty-five Germans and cap ture of 132 in an engagement in the Meuse-Argonne fighting, was extolleir by Marshall Foch as "the greatest things accomplished by any single sol dier in the world war." . The city is covered with a blanket of snow. The white flakes greeted Educators W 'th Oounty Doctors Supt. J. Edward Allen, Treasurer of the Red Cross, and. Miss Julia Dameron, President of the Woman's Club of Warr.enton, take issue with the Warren County Medical Society in their disapproval of the County Health Nurse under the former plan. Both contend that only under the former system could a nurse function and both defend the educational, and preventive work sanctioned by the State Board of Health and the American Red Cross as expressed in the work of Miss Lowe in Warren County. - The articles set forth: ' . By JULIA DAMERON. f By J. EDWARD ALLEN. Men and women of our county were surprised and astounded when they read in the last issue of county papers that our county medical society failed to endorse the county nurse under the present plan. We began at once to wonder why the doctors passed such a minute. What Are 'Reasons? Please 'allow us to give the reasons which have presented themselves to non-professional men and women for such action on the part of the County Medical Society. It is generally agreed that educa tional work, such as Miss Lowe was doing, will decrease perceptibly the cases of illness among our people. Of course, a decrease in the number of ill persons will result in a decrease in the physician's practice and thereby in his income. Although it has been said that the physicians have a self ish reason in opposing the presei. plan of nursing, we refuse to believe that our physicians are selfish men who entered their profession for the material gain therein. On the other hand we believe that they are really and truly interested in the physical welfare of our people. Their primary teffort is to relieve pain to prevent suffering. They are humanitarian men. Consequently we do not believe that selfish interests caused them to pass a minute in which they refused to endorse the work of our County nurse under the present plan. Have Magnified Angle. The only other reason that we have ! found is that our physicians, who are nmarilv interested in curiner disease, i have, magnified their side of the work and have failed to, realize the import ance of preventing disease. We fancy that our physicians frequently feel that their patients die because there j is no capable nurse-to carry out the ' doctor's directions. We admire a .

Although it melted fast, children were faster and soonl had their sleds out and were engaged in snowball battles. But through the night, with no sun to turn it to slippy slush, the snow settled on house-tops, on trees and over the countryside. Winter had ar rived. I drove along the Hudson to White Plains today. Nature and Man were preparing for the Yuletide. Ever greens along the road hung low. with glistening snow. Fields lay silent be neath their coverings of solid white. A sharp wind twanged across the Hud son and presaged the coming of Kris Kringle. The cities and towns ano villages along the route looked bright with holiday cheer. Fir trees were clustered around electric light pole3, store windows looked gay with Yule tide tokens, children cried merrily as they played in the snow, and but for the absence of the sound of sliegh bells the picture would .have been com (Continued On Page Six) Yak Issu Editor, The Warren Record: Your issue of the second instant contained the following item, being a copy of a part of the minutes of a meeting of the Warren County Medi cal Society: "The Warren County Medical So citjf does not endorse the. employment oi a rublic Health Nurse as hereto fore engaged. It, however, most emphatically endorses the employ ment of a trained nurse to apply hei profession in the county when anu where most needed." In spite of the apparent inconsist ency and shortsightedness of the course set forth in the minutes shown above, Mr. Editor, I was about to ig nore the matter because there seems to be no reason to expect that we shall soon have a Public Health Nurse again; but because of my sense of loyalty to the Red Cross, and because of the educational side of the situa tion; I canot remain quiescent but must ask space for a protest. Doctors Do Not Endorse! The medical fraternity of Warren County, Mr. Editor, "does not en dorse" the policy of the Red Cross of America for that is what we have been following in Public Health Nursing. "It does not endorse" the work of the North Carolina Bureau of Child Hygiene. It "does not en dorse" the fight now being made through education in North Carolina." It "doesjnpt endorse" the cheerful and free donation of an automobile by Mr. Wf B. Boyd and Mrs. Kate Arrington that the work we have seen done in this county should become a reality. It '"does not endorse" the careful planning and study given by the work ers of Warren County in the Red Cross for two years p&st giv that health education might triumph over superstition, in such vital matters as the birth of the newborn and their care, and the preservation of the (Continued On Pago Eight) LONG JONES HEADS MOTHER GOOSE PAGEANT CAST COURT ROOM TONIGHT TWENTY SCHOOL CHILDREN TO TAKE PART IN CHORUS.

NAVY'S HELIUM BLIMP THRILLS CAPITAL CROWDS. Naval "blimp" C-7, the first air ship ever to be inflated with helium, the non-explosive gas discovered by the navy department during the war, arrived , over Washington today and landed atthe navy aviation station at Anacostia, a suburb, for inspection by naval officials. The ship left Hampton Roads this morning and made quick time to Washington. On her arrival over the city she cruised at a low altitude over the navy department building, the roar of her motors drawing attention officers and clerks, who rushed tc e windows to wave to the airmen. The C-7 contained in her huge sil ver envelope practically the world's available supply of the new gas. DISARMAMENT. Advocates of "Preparedness will do well to ponder the word3 of Frank I. Cobb, in his paper on Disarma ment: "The German army was undoubted ly, the most perfect military machine ever constructed by the genius of man, but it ditched itself within six weeks after the beginning of the wa?. All elaborately contrived plans of the general staff were frustrated at the Battle of the Marne, after Von Kluck had outmarched his communications. The remainder of the war was a se ries of desperate attempts on the part of the German, high command to ad just itself to conditions that it had never contemplated, and in the end ?.t was the economic collapse of internal Germany which left Ludendorff's armies a defenseless shell. So mucn for military preparedness at its be3t and its worst." United States gave England 25, 000,000 tree seeds in 1919 for refor estation purposes.
