MOTHER GOOSE LADY
MAKES FINE LECTURE
rO tin of the outstanding features of
the Chautauqua was the lecture of
Mrs. Hellen li. Paulsen of Cliicago,
I the "Mother Goost; Lady," who came
with a wonderful message on "Moth
• • ei Goose in Your Town" which was
made most interesting for young and
p 6ld illustrating each step of her
subject by tiie u?*2 of Mother Goose
(lolls.
it has been especially noticed this
i season that the hangings and light
ing elfects have been very good; dif
| leren tcolored cloth curtains and
ureses, some with striking borders,
have been made most attractive by
vari-coloicd lighting effects. On this
e\enii.g when Mis. Paulsen was in
troduced tiie curtain rose disclosing
a table on which were arranged in
gioups quaintly dressed dolls, appro
priate repreesntatives of the Mother
Ouose rhymes u.-*.-d ifi the lecture,
lrom 'Baby Bunting'' up to "The
Lovely Lady" And there stood Mi's.
Paulson herself, smilingly, by the
j lable of dolls, ketsell a "Lovely Lady"
| •_ to whom the audience listened with
I rapt attention as she so beautifully
* took tnem through thois fairy land of
L maratters which by their application
becain the everyday beings with whom
we are associated.
On one hself, the higher were ar
ia .~i get! Hie dolls representing human
law—rigiit, which nothing can change
en the M.'Cond shelf was legal law, re
sulting from environment, habit and
' associatiouship; here we found "Jack
tiie Piper's yon, who stole a pag and
away lie run." Mrs. Paulson told how
lrom babies —the "Baby Lunting" on
U.e top shelf of human law and right,
many children wwre directed towaru
/ tins goal of legal law unthougjitedly,
some by parents who tailed" to see
tiiat their directions to the children
were carried out. Ki.ow what you ex
pect ot tiie chilaren and get it by
training them to a ready response
and willing action accordingly, im
pressing valuable principles for their
after life.
Among the dolls were "Father
Tune," "king Cole," representing con
trol and justice; "The of Hearts
representing mercy; "The, Three Evil
Witches," gossip, the smiling witch,
and the grouchy witch were also time
as was "Mischief.'' The smiling witcn
was awluys present where there was
u.ink ana dissipation, while the
grouchy witch was connected in a de-
manner with everything
mean,jexcept what was attended to by
Gossip. It was pointed out when in
troducing "Mischief" that wilfull
wrong-doing often followed in his
Wake. And there were "Jack and
yfU" in an argument—the quarrelling
are—wliich is after all the budding of
leadership.
Love is law, keep the child close to
you? let hiip be not afraid to come to
you with his troubles; do not harden
their souls, keep them sympatlietic,
responsive and give them honest an
swers when they come to you in tin
storm period of evil.
"For veery evil under the sun,
—--/ There is a remedy or there is none;
' If there V? one seek until you fiiuP it,
,-r- • ff there be none, never mind it!"
In the seventh and eighth grades
and in the high school age one finds
- the "Marys, quite contrary." You nev
er know just what to expect of them,
sometimes they are stubborn, and al
ways have ideas of their own, she may
wear her hose above her knees, or
*'rolf her own;" in her gafden there
are cockleshells of which she is aware
and doesn't pull them out because sh
knows you all wish -them out, and
anyway, what does it matter if there
are a few cockleshells, if you are
holding the reigns understandingyl ?
Hold them, pfobably laxly, but be on
the juob and stay there.- Here Mrs.
""" Paulson spoke with much human un
d' i'standing of this particularly dif
ficult flapper age, apd gave many
instances from life, which had com>
under her own observation and into
her own life.
There, too, was "Jack, the Giant
Killer," representing the 15-year-Cld
who always did'such wonderful thing?
in his own mind, and who was loved
fcv hs own folks, but not likeable, be
cause of his contentionsuness. ■
Then she lead in a very atractive
manner on up to the "Prince Charm
» ing" and "Sleeping Beauty" age of
gallantry an dlove, which needs to
have been attended through all the
earlies "Mother Goose" stages with
the proper environment and training
>-to now be able to choose wisely and
well, and that they may pass through
to "The Lovely Lady" period of life,
wtierein there are grandchildren to
whom this "Lovely Lady" means much
and if it should be the spinster "love
ly Lady" what a wonderful thing to
be-"A Lovely Lady" to the children
of the community. Mrs. Paulsen then

STORIES or
QREAT INDIANS

UTTLE TURTLE VS. HARMAR
AND ST. CLAIR
ONCE upon a time George Wash
ington flew Into a towering rage.
New* of the defeat of Gen. Arthur St.
Clair had Just been brought to him.
Striding up and down In hi* ofltee,
Washington stormed to his secretary:
"My last words to hltn were, 'Bewaro
of a surprise !' And now he has al
lowed that tine army to be cut to
piece# and his soldiers butchered 1"
Had his excellency told the unfor
tunate general tliat he was being sent
against the craftiest and most ener
getic Indian lender In tli« country,
Little Turtle (Mlchlklnlqua), chief of
the Miami*, the result might have
been different.
At the close of the Revolution, all
efforts to pacify the tribes In Ohio and
Indiana having failed, the government
sent an army of 1,500 men under (Jan.
Jeslah Harmar against the Confedera
tion of Mlamls, Wyandfttles, Pottawato
mie*, Ottawa*, Shawnee*, Delaware*
and Chlp|>ewas led by Little Turtle.
The next year Washington sent Bt.
Clair. Little Turtle launched a furl
oil* attack upon 'the general * camp
early one morning nnd forced hlui to
retreat. The retreat became a rout.
For four miles the screeching savages
raged at the heela of the stampeded
army. Then Little Turtle atopiied the)
pursuit. "We have killed enough of
the white men. Let us now divide
the spoils," lie said. Next to Brad
dock's defeat, St. Clair's was the worst
In the history of our Indian wars. "Vie
lost 830 killed, "HO wounded and all of
hi* aupplies.
Then "Mad Anthony" Wayne took
the field and offered the Indian* either
peace or war. LttUe Turtle counselled
peace. "We have beaten the enemy
twice, but we cannot expect the same
good fortune to attend us always," he
told his warriors. "The Americans nre
now led by 'Black Snake,' tjie chief
who never sleep*. Something whispers
to me that It would he well to listen
to his offers of p^nce."
One of the chiefs accused I.lltle Tur
tle of cowardice. Stun# by the unde
served rlwrge, the Miami chieftain con
sented to attack Wavne. Ills fears
were Justified for "Mark .Snake" de
feated them, HO liadly at the Itattle of
Fallen Timbers In 171H that the next
year they sued for pence.
When Little Turtle signed the Treaty
of OreenvUle, he Raid, "I am the last
to »l;:ii It mid I will he the last to break
It." He kept his word. After that he
led his people In the ways of peace and
worked for ttietr betterment. Little
Turtle died July 14. 1812.
MR. GEO. HOLDERNESS STRONG
FOR CO-OP MARKETING
Mr. George Holderness of Tarboro,
President of the leading bank of Tar
borp, Secretary of the Carol
ephone and Telegraph Corripany, a
director of the Jefferson Standard
Life Insurance Company, and one of
the largest farmers of Edgecombe
county was in town Thursday and
expressed his views on the coopera
tive 'marketing of farm products. He
has made an extensive study of the
principles of coopeartive marketing
from the places where it has been
operating for several years. He stat
ed that the two brightest spots on the
globe during the world-wide depres
sion following the wordl war were
Denmark and California, where mar
keting nf farm products is done thru
a cooperative association madfe up of
the growers. In Denmark this sys
tem has been in operation for forty
years and in California for the past
several years and the raisin growers
of that state are the best off finan
cially of any farmers anywhere.
Mr. Holderness has also gathered
data from banker friends on Kentucky
and Ohio who helped to finance the
Burley Association and who have seen
the actual results of the system and
they are men who were best able to
judge the economic situation in their
states and communities. In gome in
stances they were \just like the far
mers, they were doubtful of the sys
tem as first but have seen it in its
operation and they now **rmly praise
it. They say that it has not only
helped the farmer* In these two
states but it has also helped the banks
and the merchants through the far
mers.
impressed this feeling of community
responsibility for qur girls and boys;
she appealed not only to the grown
ups saying not only was it your bus
iness to help steer the girls and boys
of your community clear of evil, but
concluded with an appeal to the boys
and girls themselves and asked the
young men of the commiAuty to be
men in every sense of the word, and
help to keep our girls in the proper
atmosphere.
She emted by of all the
progressive steps made by women,
and the partnerships in the business

for the county commissioners or the
county farm agent of every county to

Since the main object of the fail
is to insy-uct those attending, and not
for entertainment purposes only, th
superintendent of this department,
Prof. C. 11. Williams, of the State Col
lege, has planned to award the pre
miums partly on the basis of theii
educational value. Thirty points will
be allowed for the educational valur
of these exhibits. If the exhibits can
be arranged so that it will show, for
instance, the results of proper selec
tion of seed corn on the quality an
yield of corn, the effects of spraying
fruits, the results of the use or!!l£-
gumes and other things along this
line, it will score thirty ponts as a
starter towards the hundred points

other thirty points will be allowed foi
field crops.
All exhibits will be allowed a space
16 by 32. Reservations of this space
may be made under the direction of
the county agent or some authorized
agent of the county commissioners.
Since some action may be necessary
on the part of the county board, those
interested n having their county rep
resented in these exhibits, should take
the matter up with their respective
boards at as early a date as possible.
Arrangements wll be made to take
care of as large a number of these

DIPTHERIA DEATHS
ARE ON INCREASE
Because there has been an increase
in the number of deaths due to dip
theria within the last fewlctaoinen
theria within the last three years,
from 242 ia 1919 to 286 in 1920 and
365 in 1921, and appeal is being sent
out by the N. C. State Board of
Health to every physician in the
state and to the mothers in many sec
tions by letter and through the press,
to begin immediately to take steps to
lower the death rate from diptheria
and croup.
There has been a gradual increase
in the number of deaths from dip
theria and croup in the registration
area the last few years but that
should be no consolation to the phy
sicians and public who have placed
the state from the one that had a
bout the highest death rate from ty
phoid in the south to almost the low
est.
The number of chidlnen who will
die from this disease in 1922 depends
upon the promptness of parents in
calling doctors in suspected cases of
sore throat, the immediate adminis4
tration of sufficient doses of anti-tox
in, the early reporting of cases and
strict observance of quarantine.
However, the best measure to con
trol the disease is to give every child
between six months and six years 3
doses of toxin-antitoxin. As it takes
several months for the effects of this
treatmen to be established, now is the
time for the mothers and doctors to
act.
Very truly,
Wm. E. WARREN, M. I)
HOW CAN WE KEEP UP TRAFFIC
ON WASHINGTON ROAD 7
What are gqitig to do to loeep up
traffic on the Washington road?
Would it pay to have a track open
along the way T A few feet of land
might be rented from the farmres a
long the road and traffic would not
have to stop a day.
If we figures the additional mileage
the farmers and others will have to
haul their produce and the number of
miles the public will have to make in
detours and add to it the loss in
trade that will go to the other towns
they will largely overbalance the cost
of maintaining a track along the road
side. ~"*
And merchants, remember if the
public gets the hab'it of trading at a
certain place it is hard to get them
broken of the habit. So, if they can
go somewhere else easier than they
can come to Wiliiamston for the next
sevearl months we will feel the effects
for years to eome.

showed how much they appreciated
him by making it to his interest to
stay with them. Wha Mr. Johnson
has to say of that meeting and his
changed attitude towards the Ex
change, and the great principles of
cooperative marketing for which it
stands is worthy of consideration of
peanut growers and buunees men in
the peanut growing counties of Vir
ginia and North Carolina;
It was my good fortune to attend
the meeting of the Growers held at
Suifolk 011 last Saturday. It was oa
that occasion that 1 witnessed the
finest spirit 1 have ever seen exhib
ited by any people for any cause.
Such courage and determination,
coupled with the acknowledged con
viction that the movement is a right
and just oue, can only result in a
successful and permanent organisa
tion.
While 1 have maintained a neutral
attitude up to this time, 1 ant now
out-and-out for the Exchange and ail
it stands for. All the inuuence 1
have in this connection will be used
to help make the jfreatfwt possible
succeas of this most worthy under
taking.
Those who have heretofore pursued
a "Watchful Waiting" attitude, art
now rewdy to sign contractu. 1 per
sonally know of 10 large and promi
nent grower* who have expressed
their intention of lending ail the in
fluence they have to the movement.
All interest* ahould unite and put
the Exchange "Over" aa »oon u pos
sible. It will then be recognised ae
u factor, and the dei pi cable method*
of the competitive Interests will be
forced into the background. One it
is realized that the Exchange la ait
aunured success, confidence will be iw
stored in the future prosperity of the
peanut growing counties*
The endorsements of these bankers"
swells the number of bankcru who
are now wholly committed to the Pea
nut Growers Exchange, which not only
has Ave bank officials on Its board of
directors, but a number of other bank
president* and cashiers among it*
signers. It is because of the support
the Exchange i receiving from lead
ing business men and growers that It
is confidently expected that several
thousand growers will sign tho con
tract in the campaign for additional
signers wheh is now being put on.
