In the hearts of all of us there is somewhere an abiding
faith in the existence of good-will, good-cheer and good-fellowship.
But in the intensive strife of life's dally trials and
manifold and complex worldly demands and exactions we are
prone to be unmindful of the presence within us of these al
most divine attributes. It is only when the finger of time points
to and recalls the hour of the advent on earth of our Lord and
Savior it Is then that we awake to the consciousness that there
is something better than the mad pursuit of the material
and perishable things of earth; it is then that love for our fel
IaW beings becomes an aboum ing and all-absorbing passion;
our hearts are filled with love. And in this love are mirrored
the noblest traits of humanity: we delight in bringing sun
shine and happiness into the lives of all, no matter who they
may be; for in this great love all mankind are kin; they are of
one blood on this great festal day.' It is at this period of the
year that we are at our best; for in the bestowal of the symbols
of our love, affection and esteem we approach nearest to the
teachings and example of Him who gave His life that teas
should have eternal life, a life crowned and exalted by a joy
that is without end. So it is that in welcoming the advent of this
day of good-will and good-cheer and good-fellowship, The Star
with a heart overflowing with love nJ gratitude extends to
one and all
TO TEST TOBACCO

EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE

uianion Brothers. Mull and
Gardner Planning p,..
ments With Tobacco Raising
la Cleveland
Testa at raising tobacco in Cleve
land county will probably be made
next year by Messrs. C C. and George
Blanton, O. Max Gardner and 0. M.
Mull in order to determine if a to
fcacco crop will be a good substitute
for this clime and soil in the event
that the boll weevil invades the coun
ty to such an extent that cotton rak
ing will not be profitable as a money
crop.
These gentlemen have been in com
munication with experienced tobac
ro raisers in central Carolina, having
,. placed advertisements in papers at
Oxford and Henderson with a view of
..getting in touch with one or more
men who will come to Cleveland and
conduct experiments with ten acre
fields on the three fine farms belong-
;mg to Blanton Brothers, Gardner and
Mnll. These gentlemen have not clos
d a trade with an experienced tobac
co grower as yet, but expect to hire
. man who is thoroughly familiar
rwith. the best seed for this soil and
climate, one who has a knowledge of
cowing the plant beds, cultivating the
plant, cutting, curing, grading and
' selling. A barn is needed for every
eight acres in tobacco so one or two
barns will no doubt be built.
Tobacco was at one time grown in
Cleveland but the venture was aban
doned because the market went to
At and was therefore not profit
able. Older people will remember the t
several Darns ana iiviub w recaii

States and Egypt suffered; crop "dis

serted, producing only 61.4 per cent
of their- total production f last yoar,

duced in 1920. The cotton crop in
China. South 4 America. MayIm and
other countries, while said to be not
so important commercially, was re
ported smaller than usual. Russia,
which immediately before the war-
produced around 1,500,000 bales an
nually," has praottcally ceased to
grow cotton, the report stated.
Prices for cotton in 'the United
States were forced down below pro

said, because of the forced shutting
down of spinning and weaving estab
lishments In the principal manufactur
ing ountries. Reduced consumption
occasioned by the inability of Rus
sia, Turkey and many other countries
in Europe, and throughout the world
to buy cotton cloth since tho war, it
was explained, necessitated the clos-
mg of world mills. American farmers,
confronted with a large carry-over,
ast spring voluntarily reduced .their
cotton acreage, it waa pointed out, and
the yield was further reduced, be
cause "comparatively little fertilizer
wai.used jmd because of boll weevu
ravages over practically the entire.
cotton belt.'
The American crop also was seri
ously "'hampered by unfavorable
Weather conditions '"over the cotton
belt, the report further explained.
Egypt was said to nave Men ececveo
