WHAT SHOULD BE
DONE IN JANUARY
If you are not already doing so,
begin now keeping a fann account.
When the fall comes we will know
which crop A and stock we made a suc
cess and those which caused us lorfS.
Those who do not keep farm accounts
can't realize what it means to keep
•in touch will alll expenditures; Do you
ever ponder over the purchase of one
day till you account for the last diinci
spent ? How much more care shoul
be exercised over the purchases an>
sales of a whole year; then lets don't
fail to kecp a record
The first work on the farm should
bo clearing fences, hedges and watei
drains. Then to the garden and or
Start an early garden, prune,
cut baek and spray the fruit trees
liine the orchard, use wood ashes oi
barn yard manure or commercial f#rt
lizer if tho orchard is not already in
good tilth. Separate applications shou
be made with lime and manure.
A garden full of vegetables
And an orchard full of fruits,
Muke all of us agreeable
For sure theres pies and soup;
.No matter what the task is;
How long or short it be
All's well with us you know,
And so might it be.
All will sanction me in this I am
sure; that our happiness un dour sor
rows are caused by our deeds. This
being st) why not cast our lots for
huppy homes and healthy strong hod
ios by arranging a variety of work,
variety of diet and variety of reere
ation. Where does this lead us'.' Who".
The farmers of course. Well, I'll take
this guess. That is leads ns to diversi
fied gardening, farming, eat ng and
exercise. I wonder if non-diversifi
cation is the cause of .some of the fin
ancial seasickness at present. If so
lets work out the remedy. Of
ties raise more, buy less, eat meat
eggs, butter, fruit and vegetables witi
the bread und potatoes we grow* l , drinl
milk and pure water and 1922 will
smile on you and me.

REGULARITY OF KMI'LOYMRNT
People who contemplate leaving
sjeady tv—ork in the country for city
jobs should refloat on the irrebular
ity of most of the fketory trades.
While the flush times of the war wer.
on, the factory workers had all they
rould do. But in ordinary peeriods
most shops have periods of shut
downs or half time, when bouN mon
ey anil household expenses go on just
the same, but the pay envelope is
very thin.-;.
A job in the country, or cultivat
ing a good farm, gives steady work
in R-ood times and bad. Most people
who have tried both, say that the
country job gives a man the better
bank account at the end of a period of
years.

ESTABLISHED 1898
Chapel Mill. N. C„ Jan. 20—High
schools all over North Carolina an;
joining the high .school debating union
unci are preparing for the ninth state
wide debate in March. Thus far 224
schools have already announced their
intention of participating:, according
to E. K. Rankin, secretary of the un
ion, and others are expected to join
in the next few 'weeks.
The debate 'will center on the ques
tion of .collective bargaining. "If any
cynic feels thai sur school students
arc not interested in urgent problems
of the times", said one of the lead
ing newspapers of the statu tditorially
"he should consider tne dauntless
manner in fthich our public school
pupils arc addressing themselves to
a discussion oi' this overshadowing
ifUestion".
The actual query reads "Reaolvetl,
That the policy of collective bargain
ing through trade unions should pre
vail in American industry.,. An inie
pretution of the query says that "it
is understood that this query affirrr /
that in these maiu lines of American
industry, viz., mining, manufacturing
building, and transportation, it should
be the policy of the employers to reco
gnize trade unions and to make col
| lective bargains with their employee*
thVough accredited representatives of
["The trade unions^'.
All high schools in the state ure
eligible for the contest. As iu former
•years the schools will have two teatm
and eueh school wil debate two other
school. Those winning both prelimi-.
nary debates will send their teams to
the. t'niversity for the eliminating
rounds, and the- last two teams will
contest for the state championship
and the Aycock .Memorial Cup.
It' the small towns of North Caro
lina, towns with less than 2600 inhabi
tant.s, want to survive and grow, they
must do one of two things, according
to Roy M. Brown, of Watauga county
speaking before the North Carolina
Club, which is this year studying the
state from an urban and industrial
Aunt of view. These small towns must
"eflher moVe forward .into the class of
manufacturing centers, which a few
of thcui have been able to dws; or
they must by community effort be
come attractive local trade, high schoo
and residence center.
Mr. Hrown cited figures showing
that the small towns of North Caro
lina -were not only increasing in popu
lation, but that !'•'! of them in th% past
decade actually dwindled in size and
40 of them surrendered their charters
of incorporation and quietly faded
front the map, disappeared, lay dow%
aivd died.
He thinks the siime facts is comii\
to others unless they do something to
prevent. Country people leaving then
farms do not stop in these little town
he said, unless they are especially at
tracted to'them anil see in them a
chance for themselves and their child
ren They JUMP over them and go to
the larger cities.
"Mere is the great place for cham
ber.-; of Commerce,or other community
bodies", said Mr. Hrown. "Member
ship activities of such bodies should
extend throughout the trade area of
the town. In rural coun
tit*s the chambers should be couny
- wide".
