receive and transmit to Division
Headquarters donations received,
for the relief of Japanese earth

peal issued by President Cootidge
asking for public contributions
for relief, to be handled by the
Red Cross. . .
It is interesting to note that
in donating $100,000 to the re
lief fund, yesterday, the Na
tional American Red Cross is
paying a debt of gratitude to Ja
pan of long standing, for imme

the San Francisco earthquake
in 1906, the Japanese Bed Cross
contributed $100,000 and render
ed conspicuous-service in mini
mizing human suffering.
The quarterly conference of
Field Representatives in session
this week at Atlanta expressed
sympathy for the Japanese suf
ferers this morning, and heartily
endorsed the action of National
Headquarters in extending all
possible aid to the stricken peo-
ple. ‘
The telegram received by the
Division from National ,Hea^
quarters stated that at present
no plans are being made to send

situation can be handled through

The tobacco tax is banded over to
the government by the North
Carolina manufacturers, but as
a matter of fact every cent of.
the tax is paid by the person
who smokes the cigarette or to
bacco. North Carolina hardly
pays one-i'ortieth of the tax,
though its manufacturers ad
vatice ail the money and then
collect fronr the ultimate con
sumer. •
Put this in your pipe and
smoke it: The ultimate consu
mer pays all the tax, and often
pays.a profit on the amount of
the tax assessed on the product

The Presbyterian picnic and
get-to-gether meeting on the
church grounds last Thursday
evening was well attended anc
greatly enjoyed, for it certainly
was a bountiful spread, and the
manifest fraternal spirit pervad
ing the large assemblage was a
most beautiful feature.
•The farewell services held in
the church for the young people'
who are going away to college,
or to teach, was an admirable
thought, and an interesting
program added to the pleasures
of the occasion.
To^he Ladies Auxiliary we
tip our hat, and do herein give
expression of gratitude for the

Mr: Farmer: .
Did yod ever Hiink ef wliat
yon and your famfly trf imaging
by not having ap tonbaid on
fouT_ farm? . Have yoa ever
thought of bow moeta a good
orchard would increaae tbeyafae
of yonr farm? Did you
that a supply of nice,
some fruit would leaeen the ex-
pensea of your family and go a
Idng way towards keeping your
children healthy? Did you know
that the first coe^ of plaotiDg an
orchard would amount to only a
few dollars and that very Httla
work is required to keep it in a
flourishing condition eomnareil
to the cost of planting and cDltU
vating other crops and that the
returns are much greater? If
you have not thought of these
facts, don't you think it to about
time for you to wake up?
Having considered tto above
facts 1 have made arrangements
with one of the oldest and beat
nurseries in the Booth to awpiiiy
all farmers who are mtereet with
a variety of fruit ssltobto to car
climate and soil at a very rea-
I sonable price. Drop me a poatoi
card and 1 will call on you and
explain our plan of storting a
family orchard.
