recent experience, we know that we
can not, at all times, borrow money
advantageously upon cotton as a col
lateral, and we ought to decrease the
acreage of cotton. At the same time,
let US make an attempt to raise more
food stuff. In 1910, we received ST.
294,64 for our cotton-tobacco crops,
and received about $25,000 for the ex-
port of meat, making total of ST.
AIS, 9,645. 1t is a very difficult task to
secure exact figures for the other ex-
| ports of the country. There are nu-
merous warehouses, both cotton and
tobacco, within the county. Tobacco
is sold on the floors of the various
warehouses, but cotton is sold on the
business streets of the different towns

THE LOCAL MARKET PROBLEMS
WAYNE COUNTY.
Jacob P. Shrago, Wayne County Club

Jacob P. Shrago, Wayne County Club
at the University
Wayne County exports mainly cot
ton and tobacco, along with some mi
nor crops such as sweet potatoes, ber-
ries, and other truck crops. Our 1910
corn crop shows that we were COM
PEELED in the census year to import
431, 900 bushels in order to make up
for the deficit. We also have deficit
in hay and forage as we'll as in nu-
merous other food and feed products.
Where Wayne county stood and the
1910 is shown by the following figures
from the 1910 census. At that time
we had only 15 cattle per 1000 acres;
which was 4 per cent less than in
1900. We had 81 hogs per 1000 acres
(only 5 counties had more); which
was a gain of per cent in ten years.
But in 1910, the pigs sold and slaugh-
tered in Wayne averaged barely more
than half a carcass per inhabitant, or
about a third of what is needed for
local consumption We steadily have
more and better pigs, but we do not
yet have a sufficiency of home-raised
pork.
Our Food Shortage.
The food and feed needed by man
and beast in Wayne county in the CEN
sus year was Sc, ,434 ,o91. The food and
feed produced in the county was ST.
$50 400 making a deficit in food and
feed supply to the amount Of $1,844,-
691.
This shows the market problem that
concerns purchasing for, to the above,
/ we are compelled to add the cost Of
fertilizers, farm tools, utensils, work
animals, and the like.
| But there is also the market prob
| lem of selling to the best advantage
! $2,294,64 worth of cotton and tobacco
! the problem of operating capital
warehousing, minimum insurance
rate, as well as warehouse charges.
Some readers of this article will
doubtless say that by raising this cot
ton and tobacco, we have $449,954 tc
our credit So with this as a basis
let us analyze the problem:

REAL ACTORS ON THE STAGE.
How They Would Seem Now If Movies
Had Come First.

How They Would Seem Now " Movies
Had Come First.
We can well imagine that genera
ton brought up exclusively on moving
pictures would hail the sudden intro
duction of the actual performers as a
great invention So simple and logical
Il step would seem to them truly mar
yelous. At first the bodily presence OF
the actor might seem to them almost
when we sit close up on Shake
spearean platform stage, but they
would soon wonder why they had been
SO long content to blink at animated
photographs.
The effect upon the actor would be
most statutory. He would soon find
that he was making himself laughably
obvious. The astonishing callsthenics
with which he has been accustomed to
wiring our withers would no longer
serve his purpose. He would have
to abandon the "irascible' look, the
revenge is sweet look. the Jealousy
look, the "lovey dovey" look and all
the other looks with which he now so
impudently holds the camera in order
to convey to us that he is feeling
something. ali, so profoundly He
would have to unlearn all his looking
glass grimaces ana try to regain the
natural mobility of human expression.
The historian of the drama would
also give us most Instructive chanter
on the emergence of the actor from
the machine. He would hail it as a
revolutionary step in the development
of the drama, without which, in his
opinion, the Hamlet that he worships
would never have been possible.
Knowing nothing of our pre-machine
drama, he would not be tempted to
draw the conclusion that with the rise
and decay Of moving pictures the
drama has gone backward in order to
go forward aGain.-New Republic

that he hoped ! had marked the spot

perhaps the most remarkable instance
occurs In deed of the year 1887 re-

Raleigh senior and his two sons, of
which one has snecial interest as being
the earliest known signature of Sir

Shall Woman Propose?

OF course women should propose. 1t
is women who change their entire lives
by matrimony; 1t is women who take
on colossal responsibility by matri-
mony. The woman should surely be
allowed to choose the man for whom
she feels herself able to work and
give.
Men propose; men have hadi it all in
their own hands up to now. and if
they have married the wrong woman
they have only themselves to blame
for it-Women of the World.
