I have had the pleasure and privi
lege of meeting and doing business
with a large number of farmers in sev
eral counties, and have found none
of them superior to the splendid far
mers of W'arren County. I have lived
in this county for over ten years, and
have been greatly impressed with the
splendid type of citizenship, especially!
among the farmers. Most of them
stand solidly for spiritual and educa
tional uplift.
To the farmers who have signed the
Co-operative Marketing Contracts,
allow me to congratulate you-upon
joining, in my opinion,- one of the
greatest movements for your financial
betterment, that you have ever under
taken. This new vay of marketing
tobacco and cotton, has already proven
to be the greatest thing possible for
the people of North Carolina and
South Carolina and Virginia. Practi
cally everybody is agreed that had it
not been for co-operative marketing,
tobacco and cotton, would, be selling
today at a much lower price.

Editor J. T. Stainback Outlines
" Building and Loan Plans
Here Tuesday Night.
BODY NAMES COMMITTEE
Public recognition of the need for
more homes here and an interest in
providing them through the building
and loan plan held the close attention
of a representative group of -business
men in the Court House on Tuesday
as Editor J. T. Stainback, Secretary
Treasurer, of the Roanoke Rapids As
sociation, gave the A. B. Cs. of the
community building organization.
"Organization of a Building & Loan
Association would do more for the
town than any other agency at this
time," former Senatoi Tasker Polk
said in introducing Mr. Stainback.
Mr. Polk recounted in brief the pro
gress the town had made with par
ticular emphasis upon the value of
the new hotel. "New homes mean
more property and a decrease in
taxe rate," he told the property
owners. The trend of the happy in
troduction was one of progress, the
speaker declaring that "civilization
has ever followed the ring of the
hanimer and the hum of the saw."
Mr. Stainback expressed his pleas
ure at being present, won his way
into friendship by a quiet compliment
to the hotel and town, and outlined
in direct, embracesive, clear style
the purposes and methods of opera
tion of a building and loan associa
tion. "Better citizens- through home own
ership is the first purpose of the
building and loan plan. Home own
ership is a foe to radicalism," - the
editor held. "No agency, except your
churches, would be of more value to
RichaV Patterson, general mana
ger of the leaf department of the As
sociation, announced today that one
millin pounds had been billed out of
Richmond" to leading manufacturers
on Oct.2 and that upward of a million
pounds or more sold, today, will be
shipped from two dozen points within
48 hours after the organized growers
of Virginia began marketing the new
way.."
The success of the new selling plan
has already been proven conclusively
during the few days it has been in
operation in North Carolina. You are
members of one of the greatest or
ganization in the world. You have
employed the best, experienced to
bacco men and you have the facilities
for handling the - tobacco. Let me
Let me appeal to you to be loyal to
your own organization. The Associa
tion will succeed beyond your ex
pectations if you, as members re
main loyal and this I am sure you will
do. There may be a very few who
would rather, pay the penalty than
stick to their contract, but don't let
that effect you, but do your part.
To each member of the Association,
let me say that you may expect non
signers and others to discourage this
great movement. It may be necessary
for you to make some sacrifices far
as your feelings are concerned, but
my advice is to remain loyal and you
will win in the end. To the few who
would break their contracts, I suggest
that you read the contracts carefully,
and remember that you are going
against the Associations that are
trying to protect you and your family.
Your marketing association has the
backing and support of the War
Finance Board, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, all the leading
banks of North and South Carolina
ancf Virginia and some of the best
business men in the country.
In conclusion, let me urge you to
be loyal to your Association. Stick
to your contracts regardless of what
others may do. LOYALTY WILL,
WIN.

the books are audited yearly and
loans are made, after the directors
pass upon their advisability, only forx
three-fourths of value on. unincumber

"The stockholders," Mr. Stainback
continued, "pay into the association
at the rate of 25c. per share a week
these shares may be paid monthly

matured at $100. Loans are made
from the investments of stockholders
