His remarks were short, but pointed, appealing to the farmers for better pastures, soil building and a conservation of forests. Having re cently made a trip to Europe he gave illustrations of specialized fanning in Denmark and the success co-opera tive marketing is meeting with in that country. Standardized varieties of cotton seed was urged by U. B. Blalock, gen oral manager of the cotton associa tion as ameans of bettering prices and facilitating the work of the associa tion. He assured the farmers that his job as manager of this giant organ ization is a service to the farmers/the importance of which he fully appre ciates because on its success hangs the prosperity of the farming industry Both Dr. Kilgore and Mr. Blalock were introduced in choice words by Hon. Clyde R. Hoey.

They say an optimist is a man who will order oysters at a restaurant, expecting to find a pearl with which to pay for his lunch. But this story is to be about frogs. We don’t vouch for the story, but it sounds reasonable. Once there were two frogs. Both of them fell in a churn. Both of them made desperate efforts to get out. After repeated trials and as many failures, one of the frogs surrendered to that which seemed to be inevit able, and drowned in the milk. But the other frog kept kicking. He kicked and he kicked in his efforts to scale the walls of the churn. The result was that the milk was churned to butter, upon which the frog climbed, and jumped to safety. Frog number one was a quitter. Frog number two was not. Be an optimist, but don’t expect things to happen unless you help them along. Start a savings account. It may seem slow and dif ficult at first—but—remember the frogs. We particularly recommend our certificates of de posit, at this season. They bear four per cent interest, from any date for any length of ?.':mc, provided the deposit remains three months. UNION TRUST GO. SHELBY, N. C. —BRANCHES— Lattimore, Lawndale and Fallston.
