Prominent Cotton Grower and Cooperative Leader Attends American Farm Bureau Meet in Raleigh In an interview yesterday with John T. Thome, past president of the North Carolina Gotten Growers' Cooperative Association and a master farmer and prominent grower of Fannville, Mr. Thome quoted Senator timer Thomas, who, in an address before members of the American Farm Bureau in Raleigh Monday, strongly advised farmers to hold their cotton until next spring. "It was agreed at this meeting," said Mr. Thome, "that present prices for cotton are out of line with the prices farmers miift pay for the things they need and the extra cost of housing this year's crop." "Other agricultural leaders at the meeting expressed the opinion that the market will advance after this crop has been harvested. With the government loan of 17.66 for middling inch; 18.31 for inch and onesixteenth; 22.21 for an inch and oneeighth and corresponding low values for other grades and staples, these agricultural leaden believe there will be sufficient flooring under cotton prices to warrant farmers holding their cotton with more ' confidence than they have had in the past . * "The fact was brought out at the meeting that thS mills are now consuming cotton at the rate of a mil* lion bales a month, and it seems safe to predict that even though we should harvest a 13-million bale crop, at the present rate of consumption-there will be a shortage of certain grades and staples. This leads cotton men to believe that if the farmers themselves will hold their cotton, there is a real opportunity for much better prices next spring." , Present indications are fanners will receive very satisfactory prices . for their tobacco this year, which as Mr. Thome pointed out, will enable many to meet their current obligations and bold their cotton for better prices. It is a known fact that farmers who held their cotton for the past two yean right here in North Carolina have made millions of dollars. Mr. Thome smiled while expressing the opinion that one oould scarcely attempt a forecast of what the fu-, ture holds for tomorrow and certainly not next summer, yet, judging the . future by the present and taking into consideration the consumption of cotton and the quantity of the better grades now onvhand, Mr. Thome said "We are led to believe it will be profitable for farmers to place their cotton in bonded warehouses where it .will be protected from fire, theft and weather damage and then sell it next spring, whep, according to present indications,L prices should be higher."

I AnlrmfT AIiaoiI UWIUlig filKSau Characterizes AflUait' DJUDciois roiicy Marks New Era For The Town And Represents Major Factor In Continuous Progress. The pplicy of looking ahead ha* characterized the administration of the present Mayor, George W. Davis, and the town board, which is composed of Dr. W. M. Willis, J. W. Joymer, R. O. Lang, J. M. Stansili and R. LeRoy Rollins. Mayor Davis is serving his third term, a period of marked advancement, and several of the board members have been rendering faithful and efficient service to the town for ten yean and more. Hie efforts of City Clerk R. A. Joyner, and W. A. McAdams, Superintendent of the Water and Light Department, have contributed in large measure to the success of the municipal undertakings for more than 20 years. Tfis looking - ahead policy has marked a new era for the town and represents the major factor in its progress. The achievements of the administration for the past few years have been a triumph of ambitious thought and coordination with Federal forces in the sul*cMsful culmination of various civic projects which have provided the town with b recreational center and improvements so vast as to almost be unbelievable, the span of years has been so short. Paramount in these opportunities for advancement, which town authorities foresaw and grasped NOTICE OF SALE OP LAND BY TOWN OP FARMVILLE FOR 1941 UNPAID TAXES Pursuant of Chapter 310 of the Public Laws of 1939 and Section 1715 of the Public laws of 1939, and by reason of non-payment of taxes due and owing the Town of Farmville for the year 1941 by the undersigned persons, firms and corporations, I will on Monday, the 14th day of September, 1942, beginning at 12:00 Vclock Noon, and continuing until this sale is completed, before the Town Hall, in Earmviile, N.

The meritorious progress, written la the history of Farmville under Mayor Davis and the Board of City Fathers, together with the cooperation of the town employees, has effected many activities here which have been radiated over the entire t°WB"IS' V^.We : GO TO THE ANT. (By H. B. SUGG) It is recorded in "Holy Writ" that the ancient Israelites once had a king whom they called Solomon. This man was conspiflions, among other things, for his profound wisdom. Once when admonishing his people concerning the evils of idleness and waste, he used these words; "Go to the ant thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise: Which, having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest" We are, apparently, about to enter another period of economic prosperity. We fed that it would be wise if our people would read, meditate and be guided by this wise saying of this great king. There is no excuse for any able-bodied person living in idleness now. Since new terms are being coined almost daily, we fed that it would not be dut of order to term idleness and laziness, especially in these perilous times, as sabotage by omission. Every one can and should find honest and profitable employment now. I am, therefore, pleading with my people, do not live in idleness and do not waste your earnings. Idiom, as leads to crime and crime leads to a life of degradation and sorrow. Waste makes want and want reduces one to the status of either a beggar or a criminal and no self-respecting person wants to be called either. There is an old maxim that says "Waste not, want not." We have a war to win. We did not seek this war. We were treacherously attacked while, as we thought, an bones; negotiation was in progress and was approaching an amicable settlement of differences. Remember, they struck the first blow and now we are determined to strike the last one. , Save your earnings now and save yourself ft^nj want in the future when the pendelum swings bade, as it most surely will. Invest a portion of your earnings each week of month, in U. S. War Bonds and Stamps. This is an absolutely safe and sound investment. In doing this you will be rendering a valuable service to your country in a time of great need. Our boys in uniform are just as brave and efficient as ever stepped to a drum, but they alone cannot win this conflict. Wetwho beHnd ; the lines must take an equal interest and be willing to mate equal sacrifices to support them. Is it not just as much our duty to labor and sacrifice for our country as it is theirs T There is something that every man, woman and child can da to help support our brave boys at the fronts. Let us find it and then DO it. We must all hang together. In union there is strength. Let every American citizen awato to the gravity of the task before us and gft into the fight NOW.
