A house to house can vass of the town will be made on these days and ij is expected that the contributions made this year will exceed those of any previous year, lue to the Tact that the need for an addition to the present building is more acute than ever before. The average number of patients per day has climbed from 15.7 in 1931 to 29.3 bi 1935 when 1,207 patients were admitted for treatment. At times during recent months eveiy available bed was filled, non-emerg ency patients turned away 1 and emergency patients accommodated on cots In the hallways. The man agement is proud of the fact, that despite such crowded conditions treatment has never been denied any emergency case. Patients are admit ted. regardless of race, color or ?reed, and notwithstanding the fact that the Hospital is operated under the auspices of the Methodist church more Baptists have been admitted than all other denominations com bined. The 1;207 patients admitted in 1935 received 10,712 days of care, 4,- 880 of which were free and actually cost the Hospital $16,104.00 exclusive of doctors' fees. This, of course, would not have been possible with out the Oolden Cross contributions and the assistance received from the Duke "Endowment. YOUNG REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE IN SURRY Meeting of Young G. O.

For this re—on we are com pelled to make a small charge for all such insertions In the future. The Tribune gladly gives of Its space for printing news of deaths and funerals. However, once an account of a death or funeral has been published In our news col umns, its news value ceases in sofar as this newspaper and its readers are concerned. Thus a lengthy obituary, written by a member of the bereaved family or by a friend of the deceased af ter an account of the death and funeral has already been pub lished, is not considered as news matter. And it is due to the fre quency with which we receive such matter for publication that we are forced to either charge for the space used or else refuse to print It. For similar reasons we are making a small charge for cards of thanks. These notices, while taking comparatively little space, have no news value .whatsoever and are of interest to only a very small percentage of oar sub scribers. Rates for obituaries and cards t thanks, now effective, are aa follows: cards of thanks, 59 centa; obituaries, not exceeding six column-indue in length, SI.OO. All obituaries In ex cess of six column-inches will be charged for at regular spaee rates. Priees ©over insertion in one edition only, poyaMe tm ad- ELKIN, N.

W. Craw ford's office to the farmers of the county urging them to go to their township committeemen, or come to his office and sign their working sheets for the coming year, under the new farm program, for no work ing sheets can be signed after this week. More than 70 per cent of the farmers of the county have already signed up for the season. Mr. Craw ford stated that he is aware of the fact that some do not understand the program, and urged that such farmers see their county committee men about any details that they do not understand. A brief summary of the program is that in order for a farmer to qualify for the benefits of the pro gram he must have at least 20 per cent of bis 1935 soil depleting crops planted in soil conserving crops this vear, and a farmer who does not have a 20 per cent soil conserving acreage can still qualify for the benefits by planting a legume crop with his depleting crop. He may plant peas or soy beans between each hill of corn at the second or third plowing. Half of such a crop will be counted as a soil conserving crop. Any farmer who qualifies for the program will receive SI.OO or more for each acre of soil conserv ing crops. Under this program the growers are not required to cut the acreage of any crops except their tobacco, nor will they be required to have any terracing done or anything else that is connected with the CCC camp or their workers. The only re quirement is that they have 20 per cent of their 1935 soil depleting base in soil conserving crops in 1936. The program is entirely voluntary and may be withdrawn from any time the farmer,wishes to do so.
