C. p. would put a price of, say, 30 cents a pound on cotton, the cotton mills could howl till they sprained their howlers, but they'd have to pay 20 cents for cotton just the same, and if a price of 2 dol lars per bushel was fixt on wheat Europe, Asia, Africa and sometimes Australia, as well as other for eigners in New York, Chicago and Hoboken could starve forthwith unless they came across with 2 dol lars per bushel for wheat. I think it would be wise for nil person concerned to write their most active congressman and ask him with great drops of tears on the letter, to try to get our pres ent farm board to merge with the Inter-State Commerce commission, and then^all our troubles would be over. I’d like to get that commis sion to fix my watch just one time —because when they fix anything, it Is fixt until death do us part, and mebbe a few weeks longer. There is another possible remedv for the corn growers—they can con vert their corn into corn flakes anti thus get $12.80 per bushel for same. The price of corn flakes never] changes, that Is—not that I ever1 heard, and it is basebaly possible that the corn flakes manufactur ers are likewise under the “fixing" hand of the I. C, C. And corn whiskey can be made from com. too, according to Mr. Wickersham. and it fetched a good price uptill the last government cotton crop estimate; since then, there hasn’t been any money in the world.' Yep, we need some fixt prices on raw materials. It’s funny how some corporations and individuals can keep on getting their normal in come when the other 97 percent are hurifcering and thristlng after a bare living.

Governor Gardner may be listed among the "hysteria" proof, for he makes positive declaration that “no session of the North Carolina legis lature will be called to consider legislation to abandon completely the growing of cotton in this State in 1932.” And that’s that North Carolina, he advises Governor Sterl ing, is deeply concerned in all con structive movements for relief of the distressed cotton farmers, but points to the fact that this State has already done its share of acre age reduction and will depend up on Its own operative agencies fof further reduction next year. Gov ernor Gardner sees but little hope for relief through any sort of leg islation, and he puts his foot down on the all-abandonment plan as on* calculated to double the distress next year. All but the politically minded are beginning to see the light. Reduction of acreage, or en tire abandonment of the acreage, is not going to prove the cure-all. Other things are to be considered. What Louisiana has done and what the Governor of that State would brow-beat Texas Into doing, and what South Carolina appears head ed to do, while It may be proved “constitutional,” would at the same time "abrogate entirely every (prin ciple embodied in the American conception of private property hitherto held sacred.” It would be enough, In the classic language of Peter Molineaux, editor of The Tex as Weekly, “to make Thomas Jeff erson turn a double-somerssrSTt In his grave.” And, further drawing on that same sane authority, “a false premise” is at the base of all the proposals to prohibit or restrict the planting of cotton by law. That premise is that the American cot ton farmer is facing a temporary situation in which the price of cot ton has been depressed because of an over-supply, and that it is only necessary to get rid of that over supply In order to set things right again. The problem, says Molineaux, is how to get the world to buy Ameri can cotton produced. And the so lution to that problem does not seem to be at hand. Common sense, af course, ought to dictate to the South not to go on producing a commodity-that the world will not or cannot buy. But that is not the most serious aspect of the situa tion. The real question that is fac ing Texas and the South is thW: ‘What are the people going to do for a living?” A crop of only 2,500. D00 bales in Texas next year at 10 cents a pound at the gin will not cring any more than the present crop will bring at five cents a pound at the gin. And there is j\o assurance that such a shorter crop vill bring 10 cents a pound. The loint is that after production is cut n half, the cotton farmer will be is badly off as he Is today. He might he worse on u tne crop is not reduced. But that is not the point. The point is how is the cotton farm er’s condition to be improved? Dur ing the present hysteria acreage re striction has been made a cure-all. It is nothing of the sort. The prob lem of how our people are going to make a living, whether in the coun try or in town, will still remain after production has been cut dow&, whether by law or in any other way. Molineaux lays down one propo sition as certain: the effect of what ever legislation on cotton acreage any legislature may enact will be disappointing. He argues that there is more hope that the providing of adequate credits to European spin ners to enable them to buy Ameri can cotton will help ,to improve the present situation a little. But what ever the effect of either, the main problem will remain. Texas and the South are too much dependent up on* export cotton. Too large a per rentage of its people are engaged it! Its production.

The report of Rev. H. N. Mc Dlarmid, of Shelby, head of the committee on men's work aa made to the recent meeting of the Pres byterian synod, recommended a program of evangelism to be given Impetus by the organisation of men. The report with Its accompany ing recommendations follows: This report of synod’s sub-com mittee on men's work In most re spects. la based on Information gathered from the chairman of each Presbytery's committee on Men's work. It Is the policy of this sub committee to maintain full co-oper ation of cmmlttees in the Presby teries. and execute all Its plans of promotion and service through or the size of the crop may be, this will remain true until there is a more thorough-going revision of our whole economic set-up. We are wit nessing now a wave of hysteria and many people are being swept off their feet by It. It would be well for those who have kept their heads to ponder over the facts of thu situation. Texas and the South have a big Job ahead, the job of trans forming the entire economic organ ization. It will be there after the legislature adjourns and for some time in the future. To perform It Will require Initiative, courage, per sistence, and patience. There Is great need In Texas and In tjie South, of men possessing those qualities. Gardner seems to be one of them those committees, after obtaining their advice and consent. In this procedure the sub-committee has been blessed with sympathetic in terest and assistance. Soon after the meeting of last synod the synod's sub-committee on men's work; met In mutual con ference with the chairman of each Presbytery's committee on mens work to plan for carping out sy nods instructions and to adopt plans for constructive promotion. Another meeting of the sub-com mittee was held In order to execute the adopted plans of that mutual conference. In this co-oi>cratlve way a self-sustaining syrcd's con ference for men was held In First Presbyterian church, Greensboro, with about 350 registered represen tatives, and with from 600 to 800 attending the evening sessions. From information and inspiration received in that meeting Increased Interest and activity was manifest ed In men’s work throughout synod Presbyteries’ chairmen, and others, have testified to the beneficial re sults of the conference. This report Is proposing recommendations which, if adopted, will give expres sion to the major impression receiv ed from that conference—a synod wide continuous simultaneous pro gram of evangelism throughout the next synodical year. The sub-com mittee feels that if the men-of-the church of the synod will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and mob ilise in such an effort, all the other organizations and forces of the church will co-operate and God will give the greatest spiritual in crease the Synod of North Carolina has ever had tn any one year. The reporta from Presbyteries' chairman reveal faithful presenta tion of mens work at regular meet ings of the Presbyteries and other earnest efforts of promotion Albe marle. Concord and Kings Moun tain Presbyteries, with an attend ance or more than 400. gathered their men In special meetings to consider and promote mens work. Such an effort la commended to all the Presbyteries. Local men-of the church organizations have as sisted in perfecting organizations In other churches. Group organisations have been formed In pastorates of more than one church. In the discharge of duties assign ed by synod the sub-committee on men's work Is delighted to record encouraging signs In this neglected department of our church life. The men-of-the church plan and pro gram. having proven successful in many churches, has gone beyond tfre experimental stage and is now being recognized as the most con structive plan yet proposed for men's work. Because it is the adopt ed plan of the general assembly men and pastors who were once passive in attitude are now ready to give the organization a fair trial. The hopes and prospects for men's work in the synod of North Caro lina are just as bright as the pray ers, thoughts and efforts of men and pastor* will make them tn clinging to the united and con structive program as offered by the general assembly. Recommendations. 1. That, under the Inspiration and guidance of God's Holy Spirit, the synod of North Carolina hereby dedicates herself with all her re sources. to an unified continuous program of Evangelism during the synodical year of 1931-32. 2. That the synod's agent to di rect the program of evangelism be synod's work committee In co-op eration with each Presbytery's agen cies, 3. That, In the • program of evangelism, synod designate three types of churches: city, town and country; and that the synodical year be divided Into three periods. First, second and third, and that I simultaneous evangelistic meetings be held in all church of one type In each period as follows: First, period—October, November, December, .January—City churches. Second period—February, March. April. May—Town churches Third period—June, July, August, September—country church,r 4 That the type of meeting be left to the discretion of each church but that special attention be call ed to desirable features of visitation evangelism and use of synod's own men and pastors. 5, That constant importunate prayer be made in all churches of jsynod for the preparation and exe cution of the simultaneous program of evangelism fn each period, that the spiritual life of the churches of synod may be quickened and re dedlc.ated to Clod, and that the lost may be brought to salvation In Je sus Christ, 6, That, the Holy Spirit may have an effective organization ol men through which to work In the program Of evangelism, synod urg es men and pastors to study the assembly's plan for men's work, if possible, make It one of the natur al organizations In every local church or group of churches. 7, That synod urges Its men to assume leadership with pastors in local churches, this being supple mental to that suggested by the general assembly each month Bird Is Planning Another Pole Trip To Conduct Another Expedition To South Pole. Plans Already Made. Boston.—Rear Admiral Richard E Byrd has announced that he would conduct another expedition to the South Pole. The announce* nient came Just prior to a dinner with ten of his companion^ on his last trip, the occasion marking the | third anniversary of the advent. Detailed preparations have been made for the trip, Byrd said, add ing that he did not want to give out the plans yet because there wa? still plenty of "scientific work to be done on data collected on the last expedition. "As is my custom," he said, "There will be no public campaign I for the raising of funds for this expedition. In the past, friends of mine who are interested in the work have contributed the bulk of the money. In this particular case they will contribute probably all of it.. When I get further along with the work resulting from the last trip, I will be willing to start again Ten members of the last expedi tion to Antartica called the ad miral from his summer home at Mt Desert Island. Me., to observe with him the the annlversgy of the ex pedition three years ago. The elev en men who spent so much time in each other’s company on the Vmg adventure In lands virtually un known gathered by themselves. Their dinner was private. The ten men presented the ad miral an Annapolis clasa ring of gold and Jade bearing the date 1912, the year the admiral was graduated from the Naval academy bully old slogan hits me just right— ■ no bamboozlin' about that!" • t • u * OURE! When a word fits, you know it! "“Satisfy” just Jits CHESTERFIELD. A smoker picks up a package, and he likes its neat appear ance—no heavy inks or odors from ink. That satisfies him. Then he examines a Chesterfield. It is well filled; it is neat in appearance; the paper is pure white. And that satisfies him. He lights up. At the very first puff he likes the flavor and the rich aroma. He decides that it tastes better—neither raw nor over-sweet; just pleasing and satisfying. Then he learns it is milder. That’s another way of saying that there is nothing irritating about it. And again he’s satisfied! Satisfy—they’ve got to satisfy! The right to baccos, the CHESTERFIELD kind, cured and aged, blended and cross-blended, to a taste that’s right. Everything that goes into CHESTER FIELD is the best that money can buy and that science knows about. CHESTERFIELDS do a complete job of it. They Satisfy !
