There is one thing the farmer shou * ^ '- u I? 4-~ *1 rem?mc>pr at mis urne iu icsa-iu <-<-? u proposition to hold cotton and redu acreage. It is, that in this crisis win the cotton farmer is urged to redui acreage, that the greater portion the cotton that is being held is in tl bands of the producer. At oth times when the farmers were urg< to reduce acreage there was not ne; so large a proportion of the cotton the hands of the men who produce We do not suppose there ever h; been a. time in the history of tl country when there was so large proportion of the cotton of any crc still in the hands of the cotton pr ducer as is at present. So muc stronger is the appeal to the selfis ness and personal interest of the cc ton producer to reduce the acreaj for the crop that is to be planted th year. The only salvation of the cottc grower is to reduce the acreage of tl crop thi? year and plant more exte sively of something to eat and to gr more attention to cattle and h< raising. The situation i$ absolutely in tl hands of the cotton farmer of tl ^"^South. Reduce the acreage and ci down the use of fertilizer. Any oth< nlan will bankrupt the farmer and ru all other business enterprises. While we are waiting to get tl big road bills passed by the legisl ture and the bonds voted we mig] _use the split log drag on some of tl roads we now have and the immediai results would be amazing. With proper application and use at the rig] time of thes plit log drag we cou ^ have very good roads in this coum alLthe year round. And it would co, very little in comparison with tl good results. But there would hat to be a regular and systematic use < the drag. And while we are talking, abov roads we understand that the official of the Southern railway have final] agreed to cooperate with the C., N. . L. and the county supervisor in th relocation of the road between Ne\ berry and Prosperity in the removj of the grade crossings. So we ma expect in the near future to have thi road in good shape and the railroa crossings removed. At the presei time it is about as bad road as ther is in the county, much worse than : has been in many /ears, due, we su] pose, to the fact that everything ha been stopped on it expecting the r< location in the near future. STA3D PAT. The farmers of the cotton-pnxiu< ing states have in their own hand the power to regulate cotton price now and in the future. They hold the whip hand in til whole cotton situation. How foolish it would be for them * sacrifice effort and energy in a wast of cotton production and at the los <>? millions of dollars, when the sam energy and effort could be diverte into channels that would yield mi lions of dollarsL r If the farmers of the "cotton bell will cut down their cotton acre^? and commensurately increase the food and feed crops acreage they wi receive more money for a small co ton crop than for a large one, an have the returns from their othe crops in addition. As to the cotton on hand now, 4the farmers will simply stand pat fc fair play and for fair prices they wi get both! The world must have cotton. Th supply is shorter now than, perhap; at any previous time in many year1 The export movement is just no^ beginning in earnest, and if the owr s of the available cotton supply wi stand by their guns and for the^ rights they will bring the world' Markets to them, and get a fair ?rie for every bale of cotton now bein It behooves every southern farme 4^ plan for a reduction of cotton acre ?~e next year, and in the meantire fo stand pat for fair play and fai '--ices for the supply on hand?At 1-nta Constitution. This is well and brieflv and trul / id and lays the problem square! vhere it 'belongs. It is up to th 'tton farmers to handle the situa <:on. We just want to pass it on t '-e cotton growers who are readers o J ^ a nr\?v?rv% ftn rl 1 '*5 ntJlclIU Cliiu c vv 3 emu tuuiuicim j *'? their caieful consideration. Plan * ore food stuffs, raiso more cattl -*4 hogs, use less fertilizer and plan ^s cotton. It is the height of foil, to keep on growing cotton for les I {f /sapf ci tA it | tuaa it las j^iuuuvu *w< & ??vk 'seems to be no use to keep on sayin: "* i !so, but somehow our farmers seem i< ? be slow to take on to the true situa fm tion. And yet, as we have stated be jfore; the situation at this time is I little different from what it has eve ~ i been before. The cotton that is be ling held now is largely in the hand of the producer. Why not hold it an 'plant something else and get as muc "" | for the cotton you already have a i , , * * ?~-r?/< a iofota you would gee iur At a"** tx ?"6? ld this year,. What's the use *o go t le the expense and effort to make ar ce other crop and take less for it tha m it will cost. It seems so simpi< ce Stand pat.

When Sunday, March 30, arrives th le clocks in all parts of the country wi! be set forward one hour, in accordanc with the daylight saving act, whic owas effective for the first time las k y^ar,~lfrid which continues in effect ir definitely, or until congress otherwis provides On Sunday, October 26, a] *.e the clocks will be set back one hour. 1S | The impression exists in som quarters, it has been learned, that th )n daylight saving act was only for on ie year, and that congress must ac " again if the measure is to oe enectiv re this year. That is wrong, howevei )g The law says: ! "That at 2 o'clock antemeridian o ie the last Sunday in March of eacl ie year the standard time shall be ac vanced one hour, and at 2 o'clock ar er temeridian of the last Sunday in 0< tober the standard time shall, by th (retarding of one hour, be returned." ] There was an agitation last fall t ie have congress pass another law es a* tabiishing the time under the daj it light saving act as the standard time ie and have it continue the year round te But the movement was given up. a I Sunday morning, March 30, at it I o'clock precisely, the clocks are al Id supposed to be moved forward. As i iy practical matter, however, most clock st will be set ahead earlier Saturda; ie night, so that when their owner re wake Sunday morning their tim 3f pieces will be right. i The daylight saving law gave mucl it satisfaction during last year, since i Is enabled men and women who worl .y to get out of their offices and awa: & from their jobs while the sun was stil ie shining. Unless the law is repealed v- each year will find the clocks turne< il forward one hour the. last Sunday ii ,y March. is! dj "MY SOLDIER GIRL." it I >- ? e, Large Audience Witnessed the Thor it | oughiy Enjoyable Musical Com? j edy Here Last Night. ?s feoldsboro, N. C. August 1st. 3-1 Playing before an immense audienc< 'at the popular Acme theatre, in thii t city, last night, "My Soldier Girl," th< . popular military musical spectacle waj declared to be the most thoroughly en joyed show ever played on, a Goldsbon Is stage. ><3 The entire cast played their individ ual parts in grand stayle, but the stai te actress of tlie evening, was Miss Gun jdrun Walberg, who played the part o 0 "My Soldier Girl." This clever littl< lady, by her modern dancing, anc ,\5 / ... tfeautiJEul voice, coupled with a strikin* ie stage appearance, won the admiration ^ of every person in the spacious theatre j Time and again this winsome littl< kid, by her clever acting would brinj the entire house down in appleause. ' ' The opening scene was taken from i [e New York theatre, where the player! *r were preparing for a rehearsal. Before 11 proceeding it is learned that two o the star actors*have been ordered t( ^ report for duty in the aviation corps , "My Soldier Girl," t he leading actress 'after viewing a military parade on th< if streets of New York, becomes enthuset >r and decides that she wishes to some il thing for her country. Her father, wh< ,was a colonel in the Spanish-Americai ;e war and a typical Southerner, accom 3, panied by his negro body gaurd come* 3 to New York in search of his daughter jr After searching diligently he finds her She tells him she has decided to be ]] come ail aviator. Tne colonel secures an aviation camp on his plantation s The girls all leave for the South anc the curtain falls. The next scene is on the Southerr plantation. Two instructors arrive anc the girls begin tlieir training. "Mj Soldier Girl" soo'ii becomes an aviatoi and makes an enviable record as a 0 ' flyer. The old colonel dons his uni form and the old Southern home be comes a military abode. ! The show was undoubtedly a great success from begining to end and Manager Mason is to be congratulated e upon securing such high class enter -, tainment for the Goldsboro public. ?i >* i They are talking of beginning to set t the clocks ahead one hour again. That t was all right at first, but this time "I e object." i; The little people won't think Friday y an unlucky day if they get satisfactory s valentines. e | LETTER FROM J. L.
