WHERE IS THE JONAH IN TRI ST A E TOBACCO GROWERS ASS N? Co-operative Booster Answers: the »* • Question in Plain Language .-VIM the Editor: Who is, and where is the Jonah in the Tri-State Tobacco Growers’ Coop " erative Association ? The above question has been the general discussion with many of the association members and others for most four years. The answer to the above question is so simple that a child should be able to answer it. The B’.ble teaches us “ho that is I guilty of the least, is guilty of the 7' whole.” Everybody in general ad it mits that the principle of cooperative marketing is right, and if it is, every person in the association or out of it that has offered an act, or word, to discourage it has played the part of a Jonah. The greatest howl that has been heard brought against tl.e associa tion by its disgruntled members is that the membership solicitors lied to them in the start about the advanc es that would be made to them on the r tobacco. One hundred and eight members of the association in Pitt county sued the association for misrepresentation. The courts held that a promise in the i future did not mean fraud. The association has baffled along /*. with a few lu; fighters and with a I'r sh'rt tail full of tob-fo have made good the statements made by the as ■f 1 sociation employees that the farmer would be able to borrow 50 or 00 per cent of the valuation of their tobacco on delivery. [With all the disadvantages that the rssociation has met with, the farmers this season will receive G 5 per cent of a fair bankers valuation for their crop which they could have done the sec ond year of their operation had the farmers been real cooperators. It is reasonable to believe that if 1 11 the association members had stuck as some of them have, th- organiza tion could have raised the bankers val uation even higher than it is today, and could have borrowed 75 per cent of the valuation had it been necessary. Mr. Farmer, if your association is broke, as the opponents of cooperative marketing claim it is, and if your man agement is a Lunch of crooks, please advise us, who do not know, how it is “THE FLAPPER GRANDMOTHER” A MUSICAL COMEDY To Re Presented at The School Auditorium FRIDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER THE 2ND Under the Auspices of the Woman’s Club of Zebu lon* BY HOME TALENT Laughs, Thrills, Peppy Music, Costumes, Chorus Girls and Everthing The Woman’s Club of Zebulon is working up Home talent in a clean and wholesome play with a Laugh on Every Line. With a Chorus of Jelly Beans, Debutant Flappers, Rag Dolls, Door Knobs and Little Grandma Matron. DON’T FORGET 7 THE DATE that the organization has been able to increase its advances so muck for the coming season. It is the opponent of cooperative marketing who are broadcasting such propaganda as the above for the sole purpose of destroying the farmers’ faith in his own business, till it be comes to be such a burden on those who are trying to stick till they can stick no longer. If the tobacco deal ers didn't see trouble ahead for them in case the farmers did organize, why did they launch such a fight? If the warehousemen didn’t see that such a movement of the farmers would put them out of business, why should they have fought it ? Is it because the buyers < f tobacco loveil the farmer so much that caused them to get busy to defeat the move them to get busy to defeat the move ment ? Isn't it high time that a!) farmers begin to think and reason for them selves and find out facts in he case? Tin v.auds of you h ve turned y-*ur back on the thing mat u’d h • befriended you, and have lain down with your enemies. A C iOP BOASTER LONGING When the golden sun is singing in the skies, And 1 am lonely and th’i k of thee. How I long to look into those datk < y -, Which now mo:i' much to n: Oh th: t some out .ra d r \ 'ovo, And would some times thir 1 of me I would praise the saints abu e Os earth and sky and sea, Beautiful if 1 could sit our on the porch some night, And look at the glorious stars, And love ns a lover night, Underneath the silvery Mars. O Lord that some day we v ill rot he so far apart, Wishing for you, think i <r of you, aye, aye, Wondering if you will over full my acking heart. O Lord, help me to see him by and by, A pal's last needs are a thing to heed. And my last needs are you. Nora Alice Jeffreys. Knightdale, N. C., Route 1. THE ZEBULON RECORIX FRIDAY. AUGUST 28, 1925 KNEE SKIRTS, THIN HOSE MAKE HEATING PROBLEM Short skirts and chiffon stockings represent a problem that must be solved by the heating engineer, ac cording to gas experts. They say that present-day heating methods in most American homes are totally inadequate to cope with mod ern fashions. Homes are either hot, cold, or indif-: ferent. The ceiling is 105 and the floor GO, and the women today, in short skirts ar.d s.lk stockings, do not sit on the ceiling. Heating with gas, says the North and South Carolina Public Utility In forniation Bureau, appears to be the only way on e rth that you can main tain a tempi■= .iture with a properly designed furnace and an even heat distr.tuition between tiic ceiling and the floor of one-half to one degree with any degree of outside tempera- U re. Ti at means that the air is put into that room in a proper way. You can go into the average coal- I.eafed home today, and you will see women and girls sitting on their feet u> keep them warm in an upholstered chair and they are the ones that s ay here all day while the men are ac .ve in n office and more or less com fortable. • VI 1 A 1 \l!,l RE AS BUSINESS MAX Arthur C. Tovvnley, former head of ; ilie Non-Parti an League, is the man who, mnro than any other, was re-; .-poi,sidle for North Dakota’s venture in State ownership. Under his guid in a the State built wheat e’evator: ••tart d newspapers, formed a home building association, wrote hail insur ance, operated a creamery, ran stores ; and went into the banking business.: •Ml failed, although the bonded indebt- j odness of North Dakota increased $17,- 000,000, and taxes rose 400 per cent. For some time after the fail of his bouse of cards Tovvnley insisted that l hi: plans were sound, but now after he ha had time to think the matter over, he says: “I am convinced that there are forc es in the economic system more pov rful th: n the government, which makes j( impossible for State enter prises to succeed. My motto is “Each man to his t rude.” The trade of government is govern ment, not business. Take it fron Townley, for, says the North and South Carolina Public Utility Inform ation Bureau, he has had more inside experience with government-operated business than any other man in the country. SPECIAL NEWS FROM NO MAN’S LAND The Record correspondent gets in some poetical verses from No-Man’s Land. To the Editor: The clouds are breaking. Though breath taking (so they say). To hear the winds a-roaring, Just off a little way; Come over this way. If you want to know mice Where they take down the door To cover the floor; Where tk • little bird.- talk, When the big chicken hanks—walks. \rd the trying pans says not a word. Have chickens to swap, fall: about the crops, iiusi to p: • the trine away. Wh. n your friend in need ialns abou y« :r feed; The proverb said, indeed. That you row th“ seed, In the beautiful land of No-Man’s Lard, If you want to be scon, Follow the k'ng :.ml queen Os No-Man’s Land, Where all is vu-no. Fhe musical that was planned some tint*.' ago was a disappointment owing; to the non-apoearance of the musi-1 cians. It is said that the guests entertain-' I them.-elve by ploying games and other past time. It was a sod night last Thursday night for chickens, wh -a som • twelve '•f fourteen iiead \v«"-. e slaughtered to make bar recue in No-Ma->' Band. It is reported that a former re si- | dent of No-Man’s Land is expected; to return to his old home about the : middle of next month to til his prop-j e» ty, and return with his family to his recently adapted home in a mole j northern 1y city.
