i Mrs. Arrington And
W. T. Polk Aid In
State Art Exhibit
North Carolina turned its at- (
tention toward art this week at the '
annual exhibit of paintings in the
ball room of the Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh, and Mrs. Katherine Pen- ^
dleton Arlington, president of the
Art society of the State, and William
T. Polk, a member of the leg- g
islative committee, both citizens of r
Warrenton, gave of their time and i
talent to make the exhibit a sue- c
cess. There were speeches by a
Josephus Daniel, by Dr. Clarence L
Poe, and by visiting artists. c
The North Carolina Art society i'
is seeking to establish a museum t
and to promote beauty in every s
way, particularly with reference to y
the highways of the State. Mrs.
Arrington is its leading spirit and t
is giving of her time and means for
its success. The paintings, which *
were lent the society by the Grand t
Central Art Gallery of which Wal- ?
ter Clark is president, will be on f
exhibit for several days and are v
commanding much attention at a
Raleigh.
In commenting on the art exhibit
editorially the News and Observer
said:
"Raleigh is happy to give its annual
welcome to the members of
the North Carolina Art Society ?
which will hold the boards today
and tomorrow. To Mrs. Katherine
Pendleton Arrington, president of
i.1 l-i s 11-- i til
me society, ana its leaaing spirn,
the State owes obligations, not only
for leadership but for bringing to
the State distinguished artists and
exhibits of the best art. In addition
to others, who have formerly
(attended the sessions, the guest of
honor this year is Philip Hale, who
speaks at 8:30 o'clock tonight. Mr.
Hale has won high place in the
world of art and is the son of the
distinguished Edward Everett Hale.
"For the third time the Grand
Central Art Galleries of New York,
founded by patrons of art for the
promotion of art will have a large
number of paintings jand bronzes
on exhibition, f
"The officers and patrons of this
annual event extend warm welcome,
not alone to the people of
Raleigh, but to the whole State,
and especially to the schools and
students. Each year hundreds of
collegians and high school students
have found pleasure and profit in
this exhibit."
Senate Committee
Opens Probe Of
Trading In Cotton
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.?Opening
its investigation of cotton trading
on the New York, Chicago and
New Orleans exchanges, a Senate
orrripiilturo ciih-rnmmi t.t.PP tnHftV
agli^uivuiv uuw vv**^.mv?wv
heard Gardiner H. Miller, president
of the cotton exchange, testify that
activities on the exchanges were
not responsible for the low price
for cotton in recent months.
Miller, the first witness, asserted
that this year's price level had been
a "true reflection" of the law of
supply and demand.
Large Production
The depressed price, he said, was
caused by a larges world production
combined with rapid marketing
of the domestic crop "at a time
when the spinning industry was
depressed."
"It is true," he added, "that the
average price of American cotton in
the last ten years has been above
twenty-one cents a pound. In fact,
the average price of middling upland
spot cotton at New Orleans in
the ten years from August 1, 1919,
to July 31, 1929, was 22.66 cents a
pound.
Not Up To Average
"But it is equally true?and this s
is the controlling fact in the situa- s
tion?that present supply and de- ?
mand conditions in the world cot- f
ton trade are not by any means 1
.equal to the average of the last *
I ten years. a
| "Supply and demand conditions c
at the present time are so far from c
the ten-year average that no econo- j
mist would expect cotton to com- j
mand the ten-year average price." r

December 20 and 23
GIFTS FOR ALL UNDER 12
Other steps were taken toward
Warrenton's goal of two successful
Christmas trees at the meeting of
the Kiwanis club in Hotel Warren
on Monday evening. Friday, December
20th, was chosen as the
date for the tree for all white children
under 12 years of age in the
:ounty, and Monday, December
13rd, was the date set for the tree
which the club and business men
will give for the negro children of
Warren.
President W. N. Boyd gave alnost
the entire session to a discussion
of the Christmas program,
ind the members entered with
nany ideas and with expressed
willingness to do everything in
iheir power to make the communty
undertaking bring sunshine
ind happiness not alone to the
r'oung but to the entire county.
A report that practically every
Dusiness house in town had subscribed
for miniature Christmas
crees and endorsed the community
program was brought to the club
jy Brodie Jones. E. E. Gillam and
'A. C. McGuire have been out during
the week procuring the necessary
funds with which to carry
icross the spirit of a community
Christmas. Mr. Gillam, recently
elected as president of ihe civic organization
for 1930, was appointed
i committee of one, with power to
ippoint men and women, to purchase
the toys, candies, fruits and
auts. It was unanimously agreed

meet on the evenings of December
L8th and 19th to tie the Christmas
parcels which are to be placed
ibout the tree.
A musical program will be a feature
of both trees. Mrs. John Burwell,
sponsor of the Kiwanis club,
will be in charge of the musical
numbers at the first tree and she is
issuing a general invitation to
churches over the county to join in
the singing of carols. J. E. Merrier
and G. E. Cheek will provide
the music or Monday evening when
presents are given to the negro
children.
The club was unanimous in deciding
to issue tickets to all children,
both white and colored,
ibove six years of age. These
tickets are to be presented at the
tree and are to be distributed
tlirough the schools of the county.
Supt. of Education J. Edward Allen
brouht this idea to the club.
Brodie Jones was named to explain
the ticket idea to the teachers
of the county at a general
meeting here on Saturday and to
provide the tickets for the occasion.
Kiwanians and other businessmen
will have tickets in addition
to those given the children by
the teachers. Every effort is to be
made to place them in the hands
of all of Warren's children who
are 12 and under.
Every indication points to a
successful community Christmas.
Enthusiasm is growing and with it
the desire to open wide the doors
of this town to the heart of the
ccuntv's childhood.
