County agents, home demonstration agents and AAA' chief clerks from nine counties met at Lumberton Tuesday to discuss organization and inauguration of the cotton stamp pro> gram, imder which stamps redeem able in cotton goods will be issued begiiining Jdly i to North Carolina cotton growers who curtail produc tion. Approximately 2,000 landlords and tenants m 1,000 Moke county farms can qualify under the program. About $10,000 will be issued to cotton grow- ’k ers in the coirnty this year under the ^^tamp plan. County Agent A.. S. Knowles said. On Jime. 12 a mass meeting of Wake merchants handling cotton goods will take place and the plan will be e3q>lained to them. The mer chants must sign an agreement to redeem* the stamps with the govern ment. The cotton stamp plan is a joint program of the State College Agri cultural Service, which will issue the stamps, the AAA which will handle applications and surveys of the farihs. and the Surplus Marketing Administration which will police the administration of the program and aid the Extension Service in educa tional work. This educational work •wiU include instruction to farm wom- ‘in'the best use of the stamps in .purchasing cotton goods. Knowles explained that the pro gram, a purely volimtary one, will boost the use .of cotton goods, give new business to merchants, curtail production of cotton and aid in keep ing cotton prices up. In the curtail ment of cotton, it would be a volun tary addition to the cotton allotment program. Tl^e fordgn war has had a drying up effect oh the cotton market, Know les ^id. , JLiaet ye^ i.Hoke county produced hrotind 16,i900 hales of cottem and the stamp plan is expected to reduce this amount by 10 per cent, according to the coimty agent. Stamps will be issued to cotton ^ growers according to the number of ' pounds they take out of production arm this wM be deiermined by their average production. No landlord may receive more than $25 worth of stamps unless he has two or more separate farms. A division of the stamps is made between landlord and tenant, depending on their manner of sharing. The stamps are issued in 10-ceht denomination. The largest amount of stamps issued to anyone person will be $50 and the smallest -amoimt per farm will be $5. When the stamps are traded for cotton goods, which must have been grown and manufactured in the United States or its possessions, the merdiant gives change in the form of a due bill on cotton goods. No cash is involved in the transaction. Farmers of the state have until •Jund l4 to decide whether to join in the pro^am. Knowles said 50 per cent of the Hoke cotton growers have expressed their intention to coope- Tate. C. M. Brickhouse, district agent of the Extension Service, was chairman of the meeting yesterday. J. M. Hen ley, field officer of the AAA, ex- plained the method of handling ap plications. Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, dis trict home demonstration agent, spoke on the cotton materials which may be purchased with the stamps. Eight cotton stamp districts have been set up, with Lumberton as the headquarters of one of them. 'T'EN first aid stations have hero ^ established along the IfiO-oule route of America's first tuper-lugh- way, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which runs between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. Through an agreement with the American Red Cross eadi service station along the Tum^ke Iw been equipped with first aid suK>lies and the ISO men employed to service motorists at these units have com- plriril courses in first aid.

This year it seems more fitting than ever before, as nev er has there been a time when unity in all things, especially the church, was more vital. The ministers say that they are going to put forth un usual effort to make these services profitable and interesting and they want all the townspeople and new comers to come together at these servtees. •AY SHOWS TO STOP R. McIntyre, pbpulnr manager of the Raeford theatre, says that he Is not goli|g to have any more Sup- i. ti} lunevl^.. Red Cross activities in Hoke coun ty wiU be expanded and enlarged to a great extent during the recent few months, according to plans dis cussed this week by local committee di^rihen and Miss' Ellen Bochlbrd', national .field representative. The quota for war relief Supplies for Hoke county chapter has been increased considerably and Mrs. J. L. Walker, chairman, and Mrs. H. A. Cameron of the war relief pro duction committee, afe calling for many additional volunteer workers to assist in'the making of the garments needed .to meet this greatly increased quota. Sewing Room A call is made this week for sew ing room equipment so that a cen tral work room can be established where' church, civic and social or ganizations may meet in a central ized effort to produce the hospital pajamas, layettw, women’s and girls’ dresses and skirts and sweaters for men, women and children. Plans for the enrollment of the members of these organizations and the imits of the county home dem onstration clubs into Red Cross units are being discussed and all who can give a few hoims each week to these humanitarian and national defense services are asked to communicate with Mrs. Walker or Mrs. Cameron immedijately. Miss Rochford pointed out that two chapter obligation which have been neglected by the Hoke county chapter were to be expanded under the direction of John A. McGoogan. On of these is an organization for disaster relief to care for emergency work in case of a natural calamity, such as floods, storms, severe fire disasters and such in this section of the state; the other is the home ser vice to be rendered to men stationed in nearby camps and to soldiers from local homes who are in the services. First Aid SUriton Dr. R. L. Murray, coimty chair man, is coordinating the various ac tivities of the chapter and one of the features of the Red Cross work which will be of particular interest arid value will be the first aid stR' fion which is planned. Due to the great increase in traffic accidents throughout the country the national organization desires these first aid stations established to provide care for accident victims. Retired or inactive trained nurses are needed who are willing to aid in this work to carry out the train ing program required and also to conduct ■ classes in home-nursing courses. These courses aro vital parts of the national defense program and of as .great importance as the sewing room works for foreign war relief 'aid, according to Miss Rochford, v^o is directing the work in Central North Carolina, Where the larger military posts told defense projects of the state are located. At present there are 43 active chapters taking part in this program imder her direction, inarn #010611 Aafced To CoopMote Members of the several home dem onstration dubs of Hoke county are asked to accept quotas bor relief gar- Funeral services for Major John B, Malloy, former commanding officer of Company L, 120fh Infantrf, were held Tuesday afternoon at three p. m. from the Parkton Presbyterian diyircbj Bmial urns .in.4be..Lutobe)r Bridge cemetery.

Knowles, county agent, is of the opinion that Hoke county farm ers and land owners do not re^ze the absolute necessity of signing and returning the cards which were sent out by him last week in regard to the army maneuvers. These maneuvers will consist of moving large numbers of troops and war equipment over rough land and under unfavorable circumstances Blank ammunition will be used to practice actual warfare. Harmless bombs (small sacks of flour) will be used to practice aeroplane bombing Wooded areas will be used princi pally. It is desired to get 100 per cent of land owners to agree to toe use of their land, and we are inserting a card which we are asking you sign and return at once. It is very important that you sign as we must get these signatores WITHOUT DE LAY. Your prompt cooperation will be greatly appreciated. The Government will pay for all damages incurred either to crops or fields in these maneuvers, and fences will be repaired. Landowners who might have lost the card mailed to them can cut toe card out of this paper, sign, and mail to toe county agent of Hoke. Date. We, toe imdersigned, invite toe U. S.
