UPPER HOKE ITEMS We have our school going, and it seems to be progressing nicely under the management of Misses Morgan and Cameron. Quite a few from this neighbor hood attended the Pinehurst Fair last week and reported a pleasant time. Our school went one day which was quite a treat to the children, as many of them had never attended a fair before, and it was very interesting to them. The Baker land sale was pulled off last Saturday. Cotton picking is practicall over, and also tobacco grading is about done. Corn shucking season is at hand, and lots of corn is made in this section, so it will be some time yet before all this is finished. Miss Elmore Wolf, of Winston- Salem, is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Simpson’s. Miss Verlie Simpson has just re turned from an extended visit to rela tives in Surry county. Mr. J. H. Smith who was in Win ston-Salem on business a few days ago, has returned. The McFadyens went deer driving one day this week, but we haven’t heard if they got any deer. Mr. Dannie McGill will appreciate any information as to the where abouts of one full grown deer which he shot but did not kill a few days ago. Hard luck to come so close and then the darned thing keep on run ning. We have been pretty reliably in formed that that other wedding which was talked of so much a few days ago did not occur. We will give you an account of it later if it happens. A GOOD TRADEMARK When you go into a store to buy supplies you don’t say “I want a sack of flour,” or “give me a cake of soap.” You call out the name of the flour and the name of the soap, because you know those names stand for a certain type of flour and soap, goods with a reputation. Every merchant has a firm name or a name for his store, and he is proud of that name. Then why should not the farmer be proud enough of his farm and the products that come off of it to give that farm a name? With a name to live up to, a reputation to maintain, the farmer will take a new pride in his place and a new interest in his business. Se lect an appropriate name such as “Happy Hollow,” or “Maple Grove,” or “Rock Spring,” or something along that line, and paint it on the barn in nice letters so those who pass may see it and kno wthereby that you are progressive and believe in the pro duct you have to sell. There’s no reason why every farm around Vass shouldn’t have an appropriate name. It’s your trademark, and folks will very soon learn the value of it.

OLDHAM HARNESS Vass citizens sometimes find in their mail a mysterious “chain letter,” usually one containing a special pray er for happiness, or good luck, or something equally foolish, and along with it a threat that bad luck will pursue them if they don’t write a similiar letter to three of their ac quaintances. In other words, they are threatened with dire things if they break the chain. The nuisance has started up again in this country, and Uncle Sam has sent out a warning to pay absolutely no attention to such letters. They usually spring from the mind of some thoughtless, irresponsi ble busy-body who hasn’t sense enough to know that unless the chain was broken there isn’t enough men in the postal department to handle this class of foolish letters and noth ing else. Don’t be skeptical enough to give the “chain letter” a second thought. Drop it into the waste basket—and if you haven’t a waste basket the kitchen stove will answer just as well.
