BIRTHDAY GREETINGS!
In "ofterMk bur felicitations to W
'. JVlff i MnrnoK f Via ' fiirnifiirn niBrl."
wny is wus ween, ceieumuiijf vac
' Hwenty-fesf Anniversary of the busi
ness in Hertford, we wish to con
gratulate the local public on its good
fortune in having in its midst a bus!
ness such as Morgan's.
These people, through long years
of honest Endeavor, hard work and
fair dealing, have built up a business
in which the entire community may
well take pride. The store is a cre
dit to the community.
Throughout the years this store has
handled such merchandise end dealth
with the people in such a way as to
win the respect and confidence of the
public. It means something to any
community to have such merchants.
And so The Perquimans Weekly
reverses the order, and congratulates
the public.
I HIT OR MISS
Congratulations to Mrs. K. R.
Newbold, who was 76 years old last
Friday.
That last figure, got turned upside
down in the item which appeared in
last week's issue of The Perquimans
Weekly, and read that it was Mrs.
XNewsours mn birtbday. Of course,
it didnt mislead anybody, as every
body knows she isn't that old. At
the- same time, it isnt exactly the
thing to do, to add three years to
any lady's age, and here's apologiz
ing. All but four of Mrs. Newbold's
eleven children were with her over
the week-end and the occasion was a
very joyous one. At the last moment
the plans of Mrs. W. C. Winslow, of
Greensboro, went awry, and she was
unable to come as had been sche
duled. "Hand me that book, please, the
small black one,'.' said Judge' E. H.
Cranmer, after all the evidence had
been heard in the. case of Bill Ses
soms, a colored man who had plead
guilty to the charge of assault with
a deadly weapon, to-wit a stick of
stove wood, on Henry Whedbee, also
colored, in Superior Court, on Mon
day. "Let me see if I can't find some
law to fit this case." Then the Judge
read the 18th and 19th verses of the
Book of Exodus as follows: "And if
men strive together, and one smite
another with a stone, or with his fist
and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
if he rise again and walk abroad upon
his staff, then shall he that smote
him be quit; only he shall pay for the
loss of his time, and shall cause hirr
to be thoroughly healed."
Then the Judge inquired as to the
amount of Henry's doctor's bill and
as to the loss of time, and required
him to pay the amount, together with
the court costs.
Two brothers served as jurors ir
Superior Court this week. Thev wer
T. E. Madre and James MaHrc
Judge E. H. Cranmer, who presided
at this term of the court, said he
once held a term of court where
there were four brothers., serving on
the grand jury.

A SMALL BOrS ESSAY ON
',x- HORSES,'
My subject Is horses. I think
horse is better than an automobile,
because a horse lasts longer; and bet
cause you do not have to put 'any
gasoline in a horse to make him, go,
You just say "git up." A horse
does not have any brakes. '
A horse's steering gear is in. his
mouth. Sometimes it is called
brace and bit. A horse does not have
any steering wheel.
If you want to find out what model
a horse is you have to look in his
mouth. When a horse is one year
old he has ' one tooth. When he is
two years oldr he has two ' teeth
When he is very old he has a mouth
full of teeth. Then he dies. A dead
horse is not good for anything
much.
One time my mother asked my dad
if he knew how to get down off of a
horse. Dad says, "Do you" think I am
a plumb dunce? I always do get
down orr or a horse, don't I?" And
then my mother said, "You do not
get down off of a horse it comes off
of a goose or a duck." Dad snorted
then and he said, "Well I get down
off of a horse every time I get up
on one." And then mother laughed
and said she wished she had Some
down to make her a downvraflt I
think I could get down off of most
any horse.
Horses do not have any spare tire.
Horses shoes do not wear out he-
cause they are made out of iron.
Shoes are all the clothes a horse
wears,except his collar. Some peo
ple do not even wear a collar. They
are called nudists. I have never seen
a nudist.
Sometimes horses balk. One time
I saw a horse balk, and he was fairly
nying.
The horse is a very noble animal.
He is much nobler than the automo
bile. He is also much nobler than a
cow or a billgoat He is nobler than
a goose or a duck. The horse is very
useful but he is not good to eat. like
cow or a billygoat He is nobler than
thing. I like horses. I like to see a
horse go fast with his mane flying in
the breeze. Some people may pre
fer an automobile, but as for me.
give me a coal black prancing steed,
with a floating mane and a flying tail,
or give me death!

The report from "Che Administrator

28,383 deaths among American World
War veterans, or about seventy-eight
a day.

and no loans wiU be in excess of the
amount of cotton allowed under the
Bankhead Act.", "- - - I',.
"This means that for a cotton
grower to put his cotton under a gov
ernment1 loan this faU. he must have
signed an adjustment contract agree
ing to reduce his acresge trom 25 to
86 percent -tins' season," says Dean
I. O. Schaub of State College. "The
ruling also means that ie farmer can
get- a loan on cotton in excess of the
amount Idlowed liim "Under" the Bank-
head Act ' Since the AAA wfll try
to allot to each grower-about 65 per
cent of his base production, the rul
ing indicates that every' grower
should cooperate to the extent of re
ducing his production, by. 85 percent
under his production for the . bas
period." ; ; . v
Dean Schaub also states that ex
cess tax exenrpnon certificates will
be hard to get this fall and hone like
ly will be permitted to be sold except
from the Government : pool and
through the county agent. The price
will be around 75 percent of the
whole Bankhead tax, .
ason it will profit few
growers to-produce tnore than their
probablo fiankhead alottmenv,MOSt
growers luiow about whit 65 percent
of their base production is and can
figure on the amount of cotton on
which they will be able to secure
government loans this fall. Any
other cotton produced will necessarily
have to lie sold oh the open market
for whatever price the grower can
secure after he has paid for the tax
exemption certificates.
Dean Schaub said the AAA plans
to supply adequate credit facilities
to permit the orderly marketing of
the crop this faU but wiU not coope
rate in the adjustment program.
May Control Rust By
Potash Applications
Severe rust damage to cotton,
especially in the peanut-growing sec
tion of North Carolina last year, has
been attributed to insufficient appli
cations of potash, when fertilizing the
crop.
For years, farmers in that section
have used kainit or muriate of potash
as a source of potash in their ferti
lizer, or have side-dressed the 'cotton
with potash as weU as nitrogen, on
soils where rust was known to occur.
