WEDNESDAY. JULY 20, 1921 Cotton is not the only commodity j that has gone down in price. Gasoline 1 has also dropped considerably. =5 | Various agencies are at work to improve the cotton situatioi}. The cotton business throughout the world is showing some improvement though the improvement is slow. c s It is a good time to begin planning j. for a reduction in cotton acreage t next year. Less cotton, more corn, c peas, oats. That will mean more 1 ready money, more food and better ? times. j It is reported that Sergeant Alvin J C. York, world war hero, is faced with the" possibility of losing his farm ] by the foreclosure of a mortgage. The | farm was presented to him by ad- ( miring friends, or something over ( eleven thousand dollars was so pre- j sented. The mortgage is said to be 1 something like twelve thousand. It would have been wiser if he had been | given a smaller farm and left with no j debt. Few men have the ability to 1 work out a twelve thousand dollar mortgage on a farm. It is possible, ( however, that the hero will find some ( rich man willing to come to his relief. < It is said that York has steadfastly 1 refused to commercialize his fame. ! Motion picture and vaudeville offers j that would have made him rich he has 1 turned down. That is to his credit, ^ we think. Some man with plenty oi j money ought to pay the mortgage and ( set the hero free of the burden of i debt. Herbert Hoover is quoted as saying: "The hard times that knock at every i cottage door today, come from Europe. No tariffs, no embargoes, no : navies, no armies can ever defend us from these invasions. Our sole defense is the prosperity of our neighbors and our own commercial skill." It is the truth. But how are we to aid Europe to get upon its feet? We have loaned the nations billions, and have not exacted payment of principal nor interest. We have done much in the way of charity to aid the peoples who are starving. What is there that we can do something that will be effective? Many of the tribes and peoples are still lighting among themselves. Russia is past our aid. What is there for us to do? If Mr. Hoover will tell us what and how, we will be under lasting obligation to him. Our cat says a cheerful man radiates good cheer.

FAMILY REUNION It has been the custom for the do:endants of the late W. G. W. Going o meet in a reunion of the family for teveral years before his death at his lome place, and on his birthday, yeserday J.7th of July, was the annual lay lor this gathering. It was an deal day and a large host of his lescendants gathered for the usual elebration and picnic. One hundred ind twenty-five children, grandchilIren and great grandchildren, among vhom was the Rev. J. T. Going, of lorry county, this state, who preach:d a very able sermon from the text, !?rov. 4th C. 7 V.: "Wisdom is the irincipal thing; therefore get wislom; and with all thy getting get unierstanding." After his discourse he called on iny other member of the family that wished to say anything. Dr. J. G. Going responded in the following short remarks. After which the benediction was announced ind a sumptuous picnic was served which all enjoyed and were glad^ The fifth commandment, "Honor ;hy father and thy mother that thy lays may be lAng on the land which he Lord thy God giveth thee," con;ains one of the greatest promises that we have recorded in the Bible. I'his is a day of which we all should te proud. We have met here today to do honor to one whose character ,ve are not ashamed of. This, the 17 day of July, 1921, irings us to the 97th mile stone of time, the beginning of which came upon this earth an individual which moved and had his continual being j for 92 years. Labored and always! had the welcome plaudit well done at the end of each duty.

Why shouldn't we be proud of this d?v? We would be degenerates and unworthy should we be otherwise. These people we see here today afp his posterity, and his character and intent in purpose should be emulated by us. Should we emulate his motives and deportment in life, these descendants of his would be a factor in tips country that the nation would be proud of, and they would help to preserve the integrity of this country I on any occasion. ~ _ In the 10th chapter and fourth verse of Proverbs we have it recorded "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." You can say of the man, whose memory we honor today, that he dealt with a diligent hand. Yet he was neither rich nor a pauper, but was a man that always dealt with a diligent hand, and was rewarded accordingly. If each one of us could be assured that we would be equally successful, the family in time not far distant, would be possessors of great riches. But people, successful property getting should not be our first motive, "But, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness This is one of the greatest all these things shall be added unto commands in the Bible, and when obeyed will bring blessings that satisfy the soul as well as supplying bodily comfort. After this is done we should seek wisdom. Education changes the nature of man. Think of the crude savage and the well educated man, one is at one end of the line and the other is at the ofher end. Education brings reason, and reason put inljp execution will do more to obliterate ignorance, and bring man up to a high state of cultivation, tHutJ^any other agency. We should see to it that weloo everything possible to develop the minds of our children, so that their talents will not be hidden away in a napkin, and the capacity of service obliterated. We should give them every chance that their minds r? .? V. :c?i J! * - iiiu.v uc iiiuKiniicu acvurumK to uieir given abilities. When we think of him who we are honoring today, we should think of his Rood deeds, and the few shortcomings of his, if he had any, should be buried in the sands. Think of our own thoughts and deeds. The proper study of mankind is man, so says one of old. Nothing truer was ever said. The first thing we should do is to study ourselves. Beginning with the greatest sting the devil ever gave man? selfishness. When we finish this subject we will have gotten ourselves in shape to do others good, and will have laid the foundation for the proper study of others. Selfishness narrows the avenue of every great undertaking wherever it manifests itself, aa*i makes the ignorant masses live in a state of turmoil. The second evil we should rid ourselves of if possible is sensitiveness. This feature of our crude nature causes more useless trouble and feeling than we ever imagined. Twothirds of the personal difficulties are caused by sensitiveness. So let us think well before we judge, for this crude nature in man will lead us wrong if we give it too much vent. We should only be sensitive enough to preserve our dignity and pride. In conclusion let me say that none of | us ever get too old for improvement, | and above all educate these little | ones. 1 Advertise in The Times. mileage vest cost story NON-SKI I) CORD W OLD NEW *5 DO 334.25 $27.50 )0 41.15 36.40 ri ir\ At 1A 7U D/..JV lO.DV 55 62.05 54.90 )5 77.35 68.45 1 g27.75, New $22.00 m on all stylos and sixes. r Price on a onest Product I "At tl The Most P< By Profess Alcahest Lr auspices of Rial FRIDAY POPULAR PRI A Yale forestry professor is authority for the statement that alcohol can be economicaly manufacturered from the moist vegetation of tropical forests and jungles.
