but heeds the call. lUlae these other
things and then let tobacco be the
money crop. If a farmer relies upon
tobacco for everythlnr, he Is up
against it good stiff and hard and will
always have his nose on the grind
stone. Diversification is the only
hope of the farmer, and If you will
pick out the successful farmer of to
day, you will find his raising a little
of everything. He has realized that
this Is his only salvation. Of course
tobacco is now selling for more mon- i
ey than it has for a decade, and we
are afraid that many farmers will
lose their heads next year and try to
cover the earth with the weed be
cause of this fact. They will forget
the lean years of t ho past when thoy
barely got enocgh out of their crop
tt run them - many of them being
"run" In debt. The good prcos tnis
year will place a majority of them
on their feet, financially. We hope,
however, that they will not forget
that their safety lies in one word
diversification. That is their salva
tion, and they should not forget this
great and important fact. The farm
er who raises enough to "live at home
and board at the si-me place" is the
farmer who is forcing ahead these
days.
CHRISTMAS SAVING) CLUB

-o
The man In town and city is en
couraged in many sections of the
country by increase in wages, which
comes handy in these days of high
coat Of Jiving.

We don't protend to say that the
Democrats of the Tenth would take
atything by unfair methods, but it is
a foregone conclusions that a major
ity of the Republicans in those dig
rings will see to It that they get ev
erything coming to them, at least.
-o
THE WRONG SPIRIT.
We want to say amen to the follow
ing from the Danbury Reporter: The
f-rmer who would have high tobacco
; n l cheap flour and cheap moat and
cheap estton goods, shows the yellow
MT,ak. It Is Just as Important, as far
an the United States is concerned,
th it the wheat growers Of the West,
the cotton planters of the South anil
he hog raisers of the. Middle. West
sbculd live as that the tobacco farm
er f North Carolina' and Virginia
Phfi'd live. If the tobacco farmers
of North Carolina and Virginia have
n' better business sense than to let
the Western wheat and hog raisers
pet their tobacco money away from
them !t, is their misfortune. They
onlv o'-e to blame. And if they would
c( rret such a bad habit, they would
e-'sily bo able to pay the cotton farm
er for what little cotton we use.
"Open Window Week."
"Open Window Week" Is to be ob
nerved the next few days in New
York City in connection with Tuber
culosis Week. This movement was
inaugurated by the City Health De
partment to call attention to the
aluo of fresh air In the prevention
and cure of tuberculosis. The date
of "Open Window Week" has been
fixed from December 4 to 10, Inclu
sive, the same as that of Tuberculo
sis Week.
Ppocial feature days during the
week will be obserrved as follows:
Open-Window Day Monday, Dec.
1th.
Medical Examination Day Tues
day, Den, Gth..
Walk to Work Day Wednesday,
Doc. 6th.
Sanitary Workshop Day Thurs
day, Dec. 7th.
Children's Health Day Friday, De
cember 8.
Sunshine Sabbaath Saturday, De
cember !Hh.
Sunshine Sunday Sunday, Dec, 10.
To make Tuberculosis Week popu
lar and its observutalon feasible and
t the same time worth while to ev
erybody is the Idea of the "Open
Window Week". Everybody can op
en their windows on Monday, walk to
work on Wednesday, clean up shop
on Thursday and get out in the sun
shine either Saturday or Sunday. And
when all of this is done In one week
erbody is the idea of the "Open
nnd cures tuberculosis, it will be
ffund to bo worth while, and 'tuber
culosis will be found to have been set
back not a little distance.

argument can be advanced against

Realizing that the Installation of
gas for the purpose of cooking and
ironing. In the town will receive con
sideration from the citizens of
Kedsvllle, the Association has arrang
ed for a demonstration of cooking
and lighting, on a small scale, to be
riven in the auditorium of the Asso
ciatlon next Saturday afternoon, De
cember 9th, beginning at 4 o'clock.
At this demonstration full Informa
tion will be afforded as to the initial
cost of Installing cooking ranges, and
method of operating. The ladles of
the town are cordially invited to be
present at this demonstration.
Many of the citizens of Reidsville
have, from time to time, expressed
the hope that coal gas might be
available for this purpose at some
future date, but estimates of the cost
of installation and operation have
proven too high for consideration.
The acetyllne gas is better adapted
for the purpose of cooking, and will
be found much more economical.

In the Auditorium of the C. and A.
Association Next Saturday
Afternoon.
A representative of the J. B. Colt
Company has been in Reidsville for
Rome time past taking orders for the
installation of complete . acetyllne
lighting and cooking plants, with
I considerable success, --upward of
thirty of these plants having been lo
cated in the homes of our prosperous
and progressive farmers.
Th'o Commercial and Agricultural
Association is interested In the In
stallation of these plants, because It
knows that better lighting of the
farm home, and pleasanter conditions
for the housewife, tend to make farm
life more attractive, and has a direct
bearing on the monetary value of the
homestead. The method of cooking
hy gas has been too well tested out
to need any recommendation by the
Association, hut a synopsis of the
advantages might prove of interest.
They are:
1. Rapidity in preparation of food.
2. Economy. About $1.00 per
month will pay the cost of cooking
for an average sized family.
3. Cleanliness. No dust, soot, or
unpleasant odors about the house
during meal times, and no dieolora
llon of cooking ulensils entailing la
borious scrubbing, after the prepara
tion of meals.
4. Absence of unpleasant heat In
consequence of building up wood or
coal fires for cooking. The moment
tl.e cooking is started, direct strong
heat Is available; the moment tfle
operation is finished, the heat ceases.
5. Absolute safety in the matter
of fire prevention. The gaa is under
perfect control at all times.
Many more advantage might ba

of an affirmative nature; no poaalbl
