Poultry specialists say that six eggs should be incubated for ev ery pullet needed in next year’s laying flock. This allows for the usual losses in batching and rearing. Another argument for a gar den this year—"Soak up the sun light if^ you want to be strong boned, vigorous and healthy.” There is no substitute at any price for an Exide Battery except another Exide. We have the right size for your car. ROCKFISH CREEK Farewell to you dear Rockfisb creek. Your water I do adore; I stood upon your rugged banks, I walked upon your shore. I am thinking of my youthful days— Those days that were so ^ear. When with your water I did play And mother standing near. Whipporwill, I heard your cry, Oh, owl, I heard your moan. When on your banks I stood alone, A-looking on your fodm. You are an emblem of earthly friend, You quickly pass me by; How sad to say to you my friend The sad old word good bye. Oh, you are on your winding way. Your home is in the deep. While mine is in the silent grave,- Where few mourners come to weep. Some day I will meet my mother dear. As you must meet the tide. Safe across this troubled sea, Beyond your rolling tide. -D. C. McLEOD. Lilington* N. C. Credit Union Law Amended. Raleigh, N. C., March—Credit unions will in the future be known as Saving and Loan As sociations according to a recent amendment to the law, states George Ross, chief of the State Division of Markets. The amend ment also increases the power of these local orgaffiations to bor row money, reduces the reserve^ to be kept on deposit in banks, provides foi the guaranty of contract and makes provision for a strong central organization. Recent marketing activity by the Division will help the poul try farmers of the State in dis posing of their eggs a’t a profit The Division has added an assis tant to V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing specialist, and efforts are being made to secure cold storage facilities for surplus eggs. Two carloads oc surplus eggs have been so'ld by the di vision in the last few days. Signing Contracts. Raleigh, March 4.—Almost 400 North Carolina farmers have signed contracts and joined the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association since February, according to a state ment issued by T. W. Chambliss, Editor of the Cotton Grower last night. “The exact number,” said the statement, “is 391, and 108 of these contracts came to the office during the past three days, and these contracts are evidence of the steadily growing farmers in the Cotton Growers Association from members commending the management of the Association and telling of the growing dispo sition among cotton farmers to join the Association and deliver their cotton to the^ Association the coming season. This state has now dver 37000 members in the Cotton 'Growers Association and there have been very few members who have voiced complaints during the past year concerning the coop erative method of selling cotton. EvcI^Membei Caoi^ Sunday. SunAy March 16th has been design] ;ed by the general assem bly of le Presbyterian Church U. S. a i the day upon which the 438,000 members of this church shall b( called upon through the metboc of the every member canvass to pledge $4,760,000 for the b^evoleut enterprises of this chiirch, these pledges to be paid weekly throughout the churchjyear beginning April 1, 1925. 4 The budget of $4,750,000 is ap portioned as follows: Foreign missioEi^, $1,581,750, Assembly’s home flojissions $760,000, Chris tian ediication and ministerial re lief $366,250, Sunday school ex- tensiotf^and young people’s work $95,000, Assembly's Training School at Richmond, Va., $28, 6000, American Bible Society $28,600e,nJ to the work carried on by synods and presbyteries $1,900,^^ The assambly has apportioned the total budget equitafa^ among the 17 synods which iiave assigned quotas to the 89 presbyteries and by the presbyteries to the 3,555 church-1 es. It ia estimated that the sum of $9,000;000 will be necessary for the pastors' salaries and lo cal expenses of the churches of this denomination. The ^^Msembly’s stewardship committee of this church which is in cl|pirge of the plans of the every ibember canvass calls up on the clprches to attempt in the spacAof two hours time on the desifiihated Sunday to raise the amoofot of their benevolent quotas. -^When this quota is add ed to tii^hei^^^ary amount for currenand pastors’ tecai" ebureh it forms the total budget. A new plan for making the every mem ber canvass.- is being tried in niany churches. It is called the “Volunteer or Honor System Plan,” which provides a method by which the membership of any local church instead of being canvassed in their homes, may present their pledges in person at the church. The assembly’s stewardship committee predicts the best canvass this year ever conducted in the church. The R a e f 0 r d Presbyterian churen has adopted a budget of $5,500 for current expenses and $5,500 as their part of benevolent budget of the church. Rather than have the oflBcers to go to the homes and ask for pledges, this year the members of the coogregation df the Raeford Presbyterian church are asked to come to the church on Sunday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 6 o’clock and voluntarily make tbeir pledges. They are taking a lot of inter est and pride in the matter, and it is hoped that every member will come to the church and say what part of this obligation for the Lord’s work they will as sume. Mr. B. F. Barnard, a former esteemed citizen of Raeford. is critically ill at his home in Hoff man. We are sorry to hear of -the serious illness of Mr. W. B. Mc- Lauchliu. He is reported as im proving. See for a Good Line of Ladies’ Hats. Baucom’s Cash Store. Most Blessed Sonl.' Your dear Mother may have never attended a “Finishing School,” but she has often sat up nights, studied and worked to keep you there. Your old-fashioned^ Mother may no^ have been .taught the so ciety rules for sipping soup in artificial silence, but she can buy a soup bone for a little money and prepare the best’ plate of broth, thickened with a great va riety of vegetables—the best soup you ever tasted. Am I right? This wonderful woman, your Mother, may not use the most perfect English, but long before you ^ld speak a word, her love aod section made you under stand. It was your Mother that first taught you the sweetest souve nira of life—the greatness of gentleness and wisdom of right. Your Mother’s loving arms pillowed your head to her eager ears beard you complain when in pain, and though you nave al ways felt that you first fed on your Mother’s besom, you were actually living from her heart. No matter Row homely, in her beautiful age. your Mother may be, irrespective of her little mis takes ormannerisms that shock polite society, your Mother is the highest and holiest woman in the world. Your Mother has always loved you, more than she has loved her own life, and no sacrifice that you can make will ever part ly pay for this bravest will and this most blessed soul this side of the stars.—Silent Partner.

But the codfish does not cackle To tell what she has done And so we scorn the codfish coy, Blit the helpful hen we prize— Which indicates to thoughtful minds It pays' to advertise.” Many farmers have no money to pay high prices for fertilizers this year and county agents of State College are wisely assisting them in buying the crude mate rials, working out good forma las and mixing the fertilizer at home. - Short Items.
