Brown, "father" 'of 'lire -famed Chadboume development in Columbus County, North Carolina. "There's lots of land in this section of the Carolinas that is as g^od buy now as that which I sold to, new settlers back in the 90s and early 1000s," he declares. "In fact, I know of nothing that I'd put money in quicker than in improved farm land now being offered at sacrifice prices. Within another five years there will be a revival of eager demand for land in both North and South Carolina. Nobody can t?ll when the revival will begin. It will come on unexpectedly, and now is a /food time to prepare to benefit from it." x It was moslly cut-over unimproved land that Mr. Brown in.luced people from as far-away as Iowa and Maine to buy and settle on in the vicinity of Chadbourne -thirty-odd years ago. Those set.lers made the locality one of the richest farming communities in the South. For many years Chad bourne has been one of the country's ' foremost strawberry shipping places,! 800 to 1000 carloads of ihe fruit hav- i ing gone from there often in a season. "I've seen as much as $500 worth of J products taken from a single acre f ( this land," says Mr. Brown, now living! in retirement. "Land that is ready for occupancy | is the kind which, I believe, will be sought most eagerly in future," he adds. ' Honor Roll Hethune Public School for First Six Week Period First Grade.

He Can Hold on to 10 Cent Cotton Seven <Jr eight years ago, J. D. Winburn, a young farmer in-tho sandy section of Darlington County, made livestock a major part of his operat ions. This year he is able to hold on 1 to about GO bales of de t > lonr .staple cotton. that he mipht have sold as ginned for around 10 cents a pound. Mr. Winburn began farming on his own about 12 years ago, having orig inally 85 acres of land. He later came into possession of about twice that much more, and he now rents for cultivating a goo(] deal more in addition. I "Hogs have saved me from cotton's j troubles in recent years," he declares. Ho milks thirteen cows find sells cream, butter and buttermilk and keeps seven brood sows. ? "111 be in the game again next-year'* says he. "I believe balanced farming will average up all right throunh the ] years in ?his section.''

More thau a >ear lia?\ elapsed since the American Red Crocs launched, l:i August. 1D30, Its first moves for relief </f the drought-stricken farmers, n:id | In that time more than 2.750.000 per sons were given food, clothing, mcd ical aid, shelter or other type of as- | sistance. At no period during this year were there fewer than 70,000 I persons being aided and at the peak of the relief work on March 1, last, more than 2,000,000 persons were be ing helped. Today, still as a result of the drought, the Red Cros3 is giving ex tended relief hi parts of North Dakota, Washington and Montana, where re sources of hundreds of families were wiped out this past summer, when a second and more severe spell of dry weather was prolonged in that region. This drought relief presented the greatest task that has ever been un dertaken by the Red Cross as a peace time activity. The Mississippi Valley flood of 1927, while more spocta'cular, and calling for relief of a costlier type, because homes and possessions were swept away, affected hardly o?e-fourth the number or people who suffered bj cause of the drought. In* addition to"' the broad program of drought relief still being carried 011, John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, has given the following suggestion to Chapter chairmen, In regard to unemployment relief: "Where there is suffering and want from any cause and the funda mental local needs are not being met, Chapters may participate I11 the com munity plans for meeting the need." Some type of general family relief, whether for the drought victims, the unemployed or the war veteran nnd his family, were carried on by more than 3.000 Red Cross Chapters last year, Judge Payne ?aid. "The drought relief work of |930 31, he added, "ihg relief now being extcnucd following last summer's drought, principally in Montana and North Da!:ota; th a resistance which Is being given jo e.T-sarvlce men arvd their families; nnd the* part which' several hundred ?

"Mother and baby aro bundled In a quilt and loaded oti a truck for the race through the flaming forest.

WINDOWS OPEN (Chicago Department of Health) Mart spends about one-third of h: life in bed. This is a demand of- nr.- ! ture. 1 While man works body waste tn!;<': place faster than body repair; whj!" he sleeps nature tries to do for the man what it could not do during hi* waking hours. How successfully nature repairs CONFIDENCE IN OTHERS (The Spartanburg; Journal) This is a time to soft pedal some of the hysteria prevalent. How often one encounters an expression like the following: "I'm not surprised at any thing I see or hear' now." It reflects a condition out of which the public must snap if things ever get back normal. Business is based on confi dence. The bank note, the check, the i negotiable paper ? all are symbols of i confidence, without which not a car I or truck wheel would move and none I of the world's business be carried on I While conditions have been adverse 1 ami the depression., local and general abides, Ihc big work ahead is tb work out. And the effective way is to re sfore confidence. Selfishness and greed have done their part in times like the present to precipitate disas trous results. Like a fever that must run its course, it is time a change for the better supplants this lack of con fidence, this vague, indefinite hint and .innuendo of worse t?> follow. For a city to develop and flourish its citizen ship must have faith and confidence in | each other. body waste while you sleep depends very largely on the conditions un der which nature works. Like man, nature works very in efficiently in the presence of foul air. Bad air always means a bad job. Inefficient repair implies a steady loss of physical and mentaUefficiency. A steady loss of physical efficiency sooner or later reduces man's natural resistance to his preat enemy, dis ease. A loss in physical and mental powers means 4 loss in working abil ity and therefore a loss in earning capacity. How tremendously important it is, therefore, that nature be given every opportunity to do its best work. If nature canpot do its best work in bad air, the thing to do is to give it pure air to work in. Pure air in the sleeping room is tl>e thing, and this every niai can get. The open window is your best safe i ?uard against disease, and loss of raning capacity. Religiously make it your duty ev vry night to open the window before retiring. Pure air is impossible in a closed 1 ,iom. AT THE Messeng r ttotk Stcre Also nic : selection higher priced. Testaments 15 and 25c. . . .
