There has been a steady migration from the farms to the cities in the past few years, hot it is still hardly worth while for the men on the farms to produce food for the men in the cities and when it comes to producing the row material for clothing the oat* ' look is most discoaraging, to say the least, as evidenced by the recent vio lent declines in the price of cotton, which commodity is now below the cost of prod act ion. * If there be anybody who thinks the farmers arc enjoying abundant pros perity let Mm, as The State suggests, SeiP them shoot the prices they are getting for vegetables, fruits, liva* stock and other farm products that they ship to the dtfes. r * \, that are now being promoted in Barn well.

Who is foolish enough for one instant to think that if England, for example, enjoyed a practical monopoly on the production of cotton, the fleecy staple would today be selling for several cents uunder what it actually cost to < make it? Mrs. Greene Makes Appeal For Orphans Following close on the h^ls of Thanksgiving, with its feasting and merrymaking, comes Golden Rule Sunday, which ’will .be observed on December 6th. I^ist year fifty-two nations observed International Gol den Rule Sunday. The Golden Rule is a universal creed. Everybody ac cepts it but does everybody practice h? Golden Rule Day is examina tion Day—a day of plain living and high thinking; of self measurement by the Golden Rule to see just how big we really are. It is proposed that on Golden c Rule Sunday, all persons who are. disposed to make a practical application of the Golden Rule pro vide for their dinner approximately the same menu that is provided, when funds permit, by Near Eafct Relief for the tens of thousands of orphaned children in Us care, most of whom are under twelve years of age. Hav ing partaken of this orphanage meal, we are then asked to make such -^provision for them for the 365 days of the year as w e should like to have made for ourselves and our little children, if conditions were reversed, tf you want a real object lesson, place on a side table the bread, corn syrup, cocoa made with sweetened conden sed milk, and possibly cabbage that wight be your portion in some put of the way spot, for it is good to ba reminded that while most of os straggle to keep our weight down half of the w-yld is struggling to keep body and soul togetjher. Remember that, tpr no fault of their’s, the parents of these 50,000 orphans have perished. These little children have *no country, no re sponsible kindred.

The an swer is being made that anyone is entitled to an examination who has any 1 grounds for thinking that -he has some chest or throat disturbance be cause of symptoms or history of a family, or neighborhood exposure*. Those who have any of the follow ing symptoms—persistent coughs and colds, hoarseness, fever, rapid pulse, chills, night sweats, loss of strength, weight and appetite, frequent at tacks of indigestion or spitting of blood hhould go to a physician or to the clinic without delay. The time has passed when people are tempted to neglect any of these symptoms be cause they fear a diagnosis of an in curable disease. The Christmas Seal jias carried the good news all over our State that “Lung Trouble’’ ia curable if taken in time. The earlier the diagnosis the better the chance for cure, which is a restoration and healing of the tisaues destroyed by the tubercle bacillus.
