Dear Folks:
When Mother puts the kettle on and 1
starts a getting dinner, her face is 1
wreathed in smiles that show the ha])- '
piness that's in her. She likes to cook ’
us tasty things, she knows our inner 1
wishes, but Mother's htimau and I’ll <
bet she hates the washing uisfifes. 1
It must be fun a fixing things you >
know will make good eating. ’cause
Mother hums a little song the while
some eggs she's beating. She sort of 1
skips across the floor tq where tile I
meat is. but when she sighs I know
her mind has gone to washing dishes. I
When Mother starts to get a meal I 1
hang around the kitchen, the smell of 1
things a getting browned is tempting
and bewitching. But when it’s time 1
for cleaning up. at other things I’m •
busy, for washing dishes makes me sick 1
and gets me feeling dizzy.
When I was young I’d sweep a floor
if Mother wanted helping. Moat any
other thing I’d do without a bit of yelp- I
ing. But I’d a much preferred the
strap with all its blows and swishes, i
to hearing Mother say, "Come on and
help me with the dishes.” I
I guess ’twill always be she same, ;
this after dinner cleaning. I guess
’twill always have a sort of “I don’t
want to" meaning. To go to Heaven
when I die, has always topped my wish
es, but when I’m there I hope there’ll
be no call to washing dishes.
Cordially yours, T. V. It.
THE Y. lit C. A. AT STAKE.
The Concord Youug Men’s Christian
Association is threatened with suspen
sion. Tlie situation that confronts the
Y now is similar in many respects to
other serious situations it lias faced—
shortage of foods, but this time other
things are at stake.
Whether or not the Association is to
continue its magnificent work and
whether or nut Secretary Blanks will re
main here are the questions to be decid
ed now. It is learned on reliable author
ity that about $4,000 which was pledg
ed last year lias not been paid and with
out this money the Association cannot
keep up operations. It is also learned
from reliable sources that Mr. Blanks
\ will not remain here unless this woney
is raised.
"We eontend that within the past year
especially, the Y. M. C. A. has been one
of the greatest sources of civic good in
Concord. Upon his arrival bore Mr.
Blanks instilled new blood sad hew life
into the Association and it bus fouctioie
ed under bis leadership as it has never
functioned before. The greatest events
of interest for chihfw. the greatest
number of classes for men, the greatest
number of religious meetings and the
greatest number of community events
have been staged by Mr. Blanks who has
worked with u spirit that lias aroused
the udmiratjou of all.
But Mr. Blanks cannot Continue his
’ splendid work if he is given promises in
stead of deeds. The $4,000 that the as
aociation needs now was pledged last
year. It is part of the large fund pledg
ed lust year to free the association from
‘ - best wdHs.
Various officers of the association dur,
Ik canvass of the city in an effort to Wise
this money. .Some of i, ha* been,paid,
but the greater part of it is still unpaid.
who have wr paid. The situation i»
right up to them.
| ft thf Y. M. C. A. is to function here,
■ and we confess it would be little less than
’ a calamity for it to cease operations In
ottr. opinion, Mr. Blanks should be re
, tained. When officers of the association
» announced the looting of Mr. Blanks
i they declared they had secured a live
wire, modern, Christian secretary. There
L is one who cau dispute the truth of this
prediction. Mr. Blanks has given the
association the best he has and that best
has wrought wonders. He has worked
with an energy and spirit that has
caused some concern among tis friends.
! lest he should break his body under the
lung hours and tedious tasks. But he
has npt let-up, and the activities of the
association have tremendously increased
under his guidance.
We repeat, it would be a civic loss if
Mr. Blanks should leave the association
here. But he will leave. \ye believe, uu
less the people, without work on his part,
pay the money they have pledged to the
Y. Mr. Blanks, it is believed, is not go
ing to make the raising of this $4,000
a personal task. He is interested in "the
material beiug of the Y' to the extent
that he wants it to have the fuuds. of
course, but he undonbtedy feels that he
should devote all of his energy and time
to the program of Christian citizenship
as it pertains to the building of charac
ter, good will aud peace in the commun
ity. ' ’
The Y. M. C. could, w ; e believe, raise
a handsome sum' for operations next year
were a .membership campaign to he wag
ed. People in every walk of life know
now of the benefits of the association
and they would undoubtedly subscribe
liberally. But this $4,000 has nothing to
do with a new campnign. It was pledg
ed last year aud until it has been raised
the association cannot put on a campaign
for the coming year. And when it is ;
raised the association will not be required
to ask fpr more funds for several mouths. '
AVel belieye some of those persons who
have pfllt yet paid their last year pledges :
will be helping one of the real assets of
the city by sending in the money at ,
once. ■ i

Post! and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, April 3.—The question
chiefly debated in local trading -circles
,is whether the advance has sufficiently '
weakened .the technical position to make :
it safe to put out short liucs. The '
character of crop and weather news is :
not eneourugißg'Tfffra scUepis Mid there is
a teeing that’ the tentative iipprqy- j
Bient in domestic trade with the vßstiinrt
betterment in foreign conditions niay in
duce a demnnd that will deprive selling '
of much of its effect even in a narrow
market.
Speculative interests, however, ha-c 1
by no means abandoned their theory
(hut general business in this country is
on the toboggan slide and that cit ton '
is much tibovvc the prewar level is a fine I
target at which to shoot. There is also '
a theory that if the demand for goods
at advancing, prices does not. burden
sharply’ mills will conclude to distribute
through the -contract market the raw
material which they are finding it dif
ficult to dispose of in the form of
goods.
I That such a possibility exists cannot
be denied but until there is a much bc;-
, tor tenor to new crop advices ami mop
certuinty of a large supply mills will
probably think several times before they
take the chance of losing to- foreign con
sumers the desirable eotton which would
be imuossHile to replace in event im
proved business made that necessary. It
hardly looks that there is much in that
theory as yet. Mills may put but some
hedges but before they deliver much cot
ton against same trade conditions will
uecd to be distinctly worse than to date.
Allowance for reactions must be made
as always, but they still look like favor
able opportunities for purchases.

• TBfITAItY WEANS GROWTH |
' District (Cnemor Makes Address at Aa
-1 - mial District Meet. .
1 Raleigh. April B—“ Rotary doesn’t
mean anything to me .unless it means
i growth— growth jn interest, growth in
i service, in value to our several commun
ities, as individuals and as dubs,’’ de
clared G. Franklin Lenz, of Newport
1 News, Va., district governor of the 87tli
1 Rotgry.district here today in his annual
addiess to the conference.
“And I believe I can say with due
propriety," continued Mr. Benz, “that
we have made excellent progress during
She year. As time goes on there is
less aud less of what ‘whither-are-we
boimd'f’ feeling and by a gradual pro
cess we are coming into a more thorough
knowledge and application of the true
purpose and place of Rotary. A basic
understanding of the true mission of
-Rotary is mose essential and that is the
thing I have tried in my humble way
to preach to you all this year.”
Mb. Lonz's speech was devoted for
the most part to a report of the activ
ities in the- district - during the past
year and to the annual report of condi
tions as found by the district governor.
Among the subjects which he discussed
was tlie growth of the RotaTy movement
in the cities anil towns of the district
and lie reported that during the past
year three new clubs have been received
into the* organization at Ayden. N. C..
Mount Olive, N. G.. -and Hopewell, Va.
In addition, he said, surveys had been
made and approved for clbs at Bedford,
.Va., Gape Charles. Va., Williamsburg.
Va;, Franklin; 'Va., Dunn. N. C., and
Burlington. N. C. He added that the
district headquarters had' been in touch
with several other communities where
.the groundwork was being laid for the
extension to them of the Rotary move- :
ment. . • > i
In discussing Hie interest thken by *
the members in the Rotary movement,
Mr. Lenz asserted that during the past
year there had been fifty meetings in 1
tlie district where the local clubs had one 1
hundred tier cent, attendance. These ’
were as- follows: Clinton. 12; Oxford,
8: FarmviHe, 8; and 6. The
balance were scattered about the dis- 1
triet with one or two 100 per cent, meet- 1
ings to a dub.
Mr. Lenz concluded bis address and 1
report with mention of several matters 1
dealing with the internal affairs and *
organization of Rotary. i
Twenty Per, Cent, of Population Enroll
ed in Schools. i
Raleigh. April B.—Though North Car- ,
clina ranks thirteenth in population
among the states of the union there are
only six states which have a greater
number of children enrolled in the pub
lic schools, aceordiug to figures made
public here. Twenty per cent, of the
total population of the state was en
rolled in the public schools in ID2I-1!I22.
according to the figures.
Against these figures, however, is tlie ,
of attendance which shows that
only 72.0 per cent, of the children en
rolled were in daily attendance at the
Schools.
