Gaston Farms Losing Everywhere Is Said rumen Should Include Wage* For Themselves In Figuring Cost Of Producing Crop. Gastonia.—Gaston county farm ers were rather surprised to 'earn Wednesday afternoon that they were losing money on practically all their crops, and some of them ask ed on explanation of the situation of E. S. Mlllsaps, state department man, who was conducting v meet ing of Gaston fanners at the court house. He proceeded to explain that m<"«t fanners do not allow a fair dally labor wage for themselves and their families in figuring the cost of production. Mr. Millsaps and County Agent Altman presented charts showing that in Gaston county com was produced at a loss of $10 aa sere, wheat at a loss of $5 an acre; oats $6, and cotton, the principal crop, at a loss of $1.02 an acre. Irish potatoes proved to be the only crop produced at a profit, showing an earning of $15.88 per acre. The farmers were also startled to learn that they did not produce but 37 1-2 per cent of the farm products consumed in the county. Charts showed that only 23 per cent of the milk consumed in 'he county was actually locally pro duced; only 57 per cent of the 15 per cent of the pork; and 27 per cent of the poultry. No farm «rop. save cotton, showed a production equal to consumption. Other figures brought before the farmers showed that cotton vas tlv* only crop produced in G Aston county that could be figured as cash Income, last year’s cotton hav ing brought farmers $1,300,000, with these figures based on cotton pre duced over and above the 'ocal consumption, estimated at 23 pounds per person. The fanners were urged to use more legumes, and to cultivate beter varieties of seed in all crops to overcome the net loss shown on practically all farm production in the county. City officials in Glasgow refused to pay Miss Janet Moston for her hat which was eaten by rats while she was in the hospital. Executrix's Notice. Having qualified as executrix of the estate of T. S.

C. Penney Head Of Big Mercantile Orrani tation Says There Is Read justment But No Panic. "The basic soundness of American Industry, the true economic strench of the business life of this country, and the genuineness of Its prosper ity have been convincingly demon strated during the past few weeks” says J, C. Penney, chairman of the board of the J. C. Penney company. “A readjustment of market prices on general securities has been go ing on. Heavy market losses, ac companied in a large number of in dividual cases by the actual loss of accumulated fortunes, have taken place. "Quoted prices on securities Ixve tumbled at a rate which iii years past would have brought about a panic, stifled industry, and wrought havoc with the credit and earning power of the country. "No panic has occurred, Industry has kept steadily on with many new records for output and for sales be ing made, the credit of the country and the earning power of the coun try have both shown no Impairment, great manufacturing organizations, In place of closing down, are declar ing extra dividends out of increasing earnings. "Retail sales organizations are preparing for good business during the next few weeks and these prep arations are based on a sound an alysis of what the holiday season will bring forth in the way of pur chasing on the part of the general public. "For the first time in the historv of American finance, a condition of panic in the stock market has fail ed to produce a condition of panic Dr near panic In industry and in business. "Actual losses have been confined to those who were indulging in speculative purchasing of stocks which were admittedly over-priced. The actual number of people who have lost money, or who will In any way be directly Influenced by such losses, is so small as to be almost negligible, when compared with the total population of the country. “I have recently returned from an extended trip through the middle west and southeastern part of the country where I visited farmers, stock breeders, and many typical average American cities. "In every locality where I stopped, I found optimism and a general feeling of financial security, "In general, the belief of the country is that sound forces are at work on a program which will bring a more equitable percentage of profits to the producers, without ad ding to costs paid by the consumer. "Sound advice has come to the cotton growers and practical assist ance is being offered through the farm relief board. The same condi tions exist among the grain produc ers. "Stockmen are getting the best prices in years with steady demands for all kinds of live' stock. "Many industrial areas are re porting satisfactory activity with good increases in sales volumes. These conditions are reflected in increased local building activities, bank deposits and in a general way, long as its wealth producing power remains unimpaired. The economic value of the individual Is measured by his ability to create wealth, not by his ability to harbor money. “The stock market flurry nas not impaired the wealth producing abil ity of the individual or of industry. It has been taken care of by the banking interests without depriving the industrial interests of any of the essential support which they re quire. “Your neighbor and my neighbor are earning as much or more than ever before. We are both employed with no Indications that this em ployment is to be taken away from us. "We are not apprehensive of the ability of our bank to take care of our savings; we are not fearful of the ability of our store keepers to continue to serve our demands. And we are all quite certain that our own town has been singularly un affected by the situation In the speculative stock market In *he fi nal analysis this means but one thing; the estimate of prosperity which has been set upon Uils coun try by its most interested apprais ers has been fully justified.” “Falling In Love Bad For Tubercular® Chicago.—Falling: in love is worse than having indigestion for a tu bercular person, Dr. W. F. Peter son of the University of Illinois col lege of medicine said in a radio talk over station WLS. “Worry is one real cause of .fa tigue," Dr. Peterson said, “Half the battle in tuberculosis centers, about the nervous apparatus. Give It a chance. Don’t fret, don’t be peevish don’t be too sensitive ~nd whatever you do, don’t fall !n love. That is worse than indigestion.

M STYLE GETS WOMEN GOWNED IN COTTON AGAIN, NOT PRICE Oastonia Gazette. It was through Its appeal to style rather than economy that the cotton experts won the women hack to wearing of cotton dresses, says The New York Times. Volume of markets will follow the Cotton Textile Institutes efforts to popularize cotton If It continues to emphasize style, the New York pa per says. Under the heading “Purple and Fine Cotton,’ The Tlm'es says: “When the ladies paid handsome prices for silks 18 Inches wido and had their best dresses turned ~nd made over many times, cotton was the standby for ordinary daily wear. It was sturdy and inexpensive. As silks grew wider and cheaper, their vogue spread. Every shop girl had at least one silk frock. Cotton, still Dheap and strong, was out of fash ion. The commercial production of synthetic silks completed the sor rows of the cotton manufacturers, imitation silk stockings apd under sear are to the liking of young per sons, even though their purses are better suited to purchasing cotton. "Several years ago the cotton people got together in an attempt ;o win back their old popularity, rhe economy watchword was drop ped. Realizing at last that style is more Important to their prospcctlvo purchasers than cheapness, dur ability or even essential beauty, the various manufacturers put them selves into the hands of a central organization, the Cotton Textile Institute, which has made tnelr campaign a success. “One does not need to study its survey of the present season to know that cotton is more prominent In the making of women's garments than it has been for many years. Pique dresses and suits are fashion able everywhere. At least ons secs them on the streets, in the country, on the tennis courts, and golf links. Knitted Jumpers of cotton are sud denly adopted by an army of young girls who last year wore silk3 and wools. Quilted calico coats and jackets are seen on women of aU ages. Sllpers made of cotton, em broidered or printed in bright colors, are worn with the gayly colored thin cotton dresses. Silks, real or syn thetic, have not lost their place, for they have been too securely estab lished to do that; but the least ob servant stroller or advertisement reader must have seen the sudden interest of womfcn in the new cot ton fashions. “It is undoubtedly through em phasis on the stylishness of the new cottons that the Cotton Textile In stitute has brought about the change. For women who can afford anything, the novelty and crisp beauty of the new material made an appeal when their dressmakers and favorite shops designs and at prices comparable with those they would have paid for other cloth. Women of taste found the new sug gestion agreeable, for washable cot ton are well suited to warm weather needs.
