THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1922
A trip down the bloomingvale road
will readily convince ahy one who is
the least bit observant that the
people of that section of Williamsburg
couny are thoroughly alive, indicative
cf this is the marked improvement
to be noted in the upkeep of the public
road, the newly painted homes
and the clean fields, plenty of apparently
well-kept cows, hogs, horses
and muies with substantial fences to
keep these within bounds. As a friend
remarked to us on the trip to the
. Bloomingvale community, "It is the
thriftiest looking section of the county
so far as I have seen."
If yoi ever hear of a boy or girl
who wants to quit school, when it
is unnecessary; if you ever hear of
parents who are thinking of putting
their children to work, when it is
inct hrinc these firures
Ul llCVVO- 'Ui J y Jmwv ... ...Q - 0
U their attention:
Every day spent in school pays the
child $9.
Here is the proof, based on the
wage scale of 1913:
Uneducated laborers earn on the
average of $500 per year for forty
years, a total of $20,000.
High school graduates earn on the
average of $1,000 per year for forty
years, a total of $40,000.
This education required twelve
years of school of 180 days each,
a total of 2,160 days in school.
If 2,160 days at school add $20,000
to the income for life, then each day
ai school adds $9 25.
The child that stays out of school
to earn less than $9.00 a day is losing
money?not making money.
These figures are based on an investigation
made by Dr. A. Caswell
Ellis of the University of Texas, at
the request of the United States Bureau
of Education.
Here are some more facts: Supt.
B B. Jackson, of Minneapolis studied
the earnings of 3,345 pupils who left
school at the end of the eight grade,
and found that they started life with
au average salary of only $240 a
year. similar study made by him
of the salaries of 912 graduates of
the high school showed that they
started out with an average salary
of $600 and after six years were
earnine an average of $1,380.
One more set of figures and then i
we are through?
A committee of the Brooklyn Teachers'
Association in 1909 investigated
the salaries received by graduates of
the elementary schools r.nd by others
who stopped school before graduation.
Of 912 boys frcm the elementary
schools taken at random, the committee
was able to trace 166 till they J
were about thirty years of age.
At that time the average income
of these 166 boys was $1,253.03,
whereas the average salary of the
illiterate worker in Brooklyn was
So00 per year.
If the parents of these 166 boys
had brought each of them on annuity
equal to the extra S753 per year,
which his education enabled him to
earn, it would have cost over 513,000
per boy.
.As the salaries of these boys will
rise considerably after they me thir-j

Community Clubs Active. |
Miss Hattic McMurray, home demonstration
agent, has been very busy
with her clubs during the past week,
holding meetings at Grcelyville, Cedar
Swamp and Salters. Much interest
was shown at each of these meetings.
At Cedar Swamp about twenty-five
members of the Girl's Cooking Club
! gathered for a demonstration in busant
making. At Salters the meeting
\.as in the interest of poultry raising
and was attended by the members of
Ihe Poultry Club of that comm..r.
We hope our correspondents will send
u.v full accounts of these meetings
for publication next week. At Greehville
the members of the Poultry
Club are manifesting much interest
in this work and many of them are
rtally enthusiastic over the propagation
of improved thoroughbred poultry.

work and is well qualified to

progress being made in this line of
endeavor.
A Valentine Party.
The "Merry-makers" were entertained
with a lovely valentine party
Tuesday evening, February 14th, by
Misses Agnes Erckmann and Marian
McFadden at the home of the latter.
The color scheme chosen for the
occasion was red and white, and
the valentine idea was charmingly
carried out. After the needles had
been put aside the guests were invited
into the dining room, where
covers were laid for ten. A lovely
cupid amid a shower of hearts and
arrows formed the center decoration
of the table; red baskets used as
benbonniers and attractive place cards
... ? i _i j?
adorned with dainty cupias noicung
tiny red bows and arrows added a
further note of distinction to the color
scheme. In a most unique fashion,
through the four courses of the menu
the color scheme was suggested
Those present were: Misses Carrie
Lancaster, Lilla Babb, Lavinia Kinard,
Louise McHaffey, Mattie Timmons,
Rubie Thorne, Elizabeth Spiegner and
F'oride Harper.
o
County Clinic.
On Thursday, February 9, at the
meeting of the County Medical Association,
there was held the first meeting
of the County Clinic. There were
e:ght children examined at this time.
Most of these children were from the
same section of the county and were
brought there largely through the efforts
of the teachers of the school
in the community.
This Clinic can be a wonderful thing
for the county if it is properly appreciated
by the people. 'Hie doctors
are giving their time and are doing
all they can to improve the county)
from a health stand point.
* " ' ?.- -ii. ] 1L. ,.i
Any one wisning u> auenu me uc.w
meeting of the Clinic which will take
place on Thursday, March 9th, are
asked to get in touch with the Red
Cross Secretary, who will furnish
them with the necessary blanks which
aie to be filled out and brought in
when the person comes for examination.

m
At the first meeting of the Board
ot Directors of the Tri-State Tobaccj
Growers' Co-operative Association
held in Raleigh, N. C., last week the
following five directois were chosen as
their executive committee:
Geo. A. Norwood, Goldsboro, N. C.,
p esident; Bright Williamson, Darlington,
S. C., for vice-president from
South Carolina; Joseph H. Hurt,
Llackstone, Va., vice-president from
Virginia, together with J. H. Galloway,
Greensboro, X. C., and H. J.
Watkins, Sr., South Boston, Va., as
additional members; M. 0. Wilson of
Keysville, Va., was elected secretary
and treasurer. The association .was
incorporated at Raleigh.
The board adopted by-laws and attended
to other detail matters incident
to forming the permanent organization.
The reports from the
Kentucky Burley association, reaching
the Florence headquarters daily,
no most gratifying and encouraging.
It is reported that the Kentucky organization
has just closed several
large deals, one of which was to one
cf the large companies for twenty
two million pounds at very satisfac- *
tory prices. These tobaccoes are be- 1
ing delivered at the warehouses of the "
association direct from the growers.
Mr. James N. Kehoe of the executive
committee is reported as saying
in an interview that, "there seems '
to me little probability that we shall
have to hold any considerable portion
<of the association crop for longer j (

A SELLING TRIP.
Light Shades to Take the Place of
Somber This Summer.
Offerings of wholesalers in the New
York market indicate that the United
States the coming summer will undergo
a decided reaction against black ,
and other somber hues in favor of
very colorful effects. The brighter ,
shades will not only be noted in irim- I
mings but in the whole garment. \
Tweeds will be seen in a range of i
very lively colorings, and the dress I
and cape costumes are making a point a
of contrasting shades. r
In order to be a step ahead of the "
colors in garments, the millinery \
manufacturers appear to have a prob- |
lem on their nanus. nosieiy nasjj

TAKE NOTICE.
Owii^ to the ve:y unsatisfactory
experience The County Record
has had in the past in collecting
its bills for the publication
of Summonses for Relief,
Citation Notices, Notices to Creditors
and applications by administrators
for Final Discharge, we
have determined that such notices
must hereafter be paid for
in advance. The three last named
notices pertain strictly to the
affairs of dead men a"d women
and in many instances the living
doesn't seem to care whether
they are ever settled for or
not?judging from the length of
time many of them remain un
paid on our books. 0
These notices are charged for
at a fixed rate, a3 follows:
