Mothers Club Meets.

The Twentieth Century Mothers
Club was entertained on its regular
meeting Friday afternoon by Mrs.
Virgil Kinder and Mrs. L. W. Gilland,
at the home of Mrs. Kinder. A good
attendance was had and several mat
ters of Importance disposed of.
A motion had been made to consoli-
date the Parent Teachers association
and the Mothers club, but after going
into the details of such an arrange
ment, it was decided by ballot that
the club could work to better advan-
tage and carry out its original plans
with better results as an Independent
organization. A motion was adopted,
however, that the members Of the
Parent Teachers association be invit-
ed to attend the meetings of the club,
and particularly the next meeting,
which will be held at the home Of
Mrs. P. o. Arrowsmith, with Mrs. T.
E. Arrowsmith as assistant hostess.
Mrs. D. A. Montgomery filed her
resignation with the president, Mrs.
R. X. Wallace. The resignation was
accepted with regrets. Mrs. John d.
Britton was elected to fill the office
for the next term.
The matter of serving refreshments
at every meeting was discussed. The
majority voted in favor of simple,
light refreshments, the object OF the
club being to be source OF enllght-
ment and enjoyment to the mothers,
rather than a burden, which the serv-
ing of heavy, expensive refreshments
would necessarily become.
Mrs. Bristol was welcome visitor
at the meeting, and it is hoped that
she will become a member. ANY
mother is cordially invited to join, the
regular dues being s1.OO per year.
Mrs. L. w. Gilland and Mrs. John

served by the hoSteSses.

FARMERS TO SUFFER
Big Loss ON CORN
MEREDITH ESTIMATES. BILLION
DOLLAR LOSS TO
PRODUCERS.

Shrinkage in the value of farm pro-
ducts so far this season will result IN
American farmers receiving $780,
100000 less than they would have Sc
cured on the 1918 price basis, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Meredith said
Monday, addressing the American
Bankers Associations annual conven-
ton. He classed the existing situa-
ton as zone that demands the best
thought and sympathetic considera-
ton of the bankers Of America, and
in fact, all of the people Of the coun-
try"
Mr. Meredith estimated that the
fall in crop prices had involved bill
lion dollar loss to producers, while
the decrease in cotton amounted to
q third of billion. The situation was
further made harder for farmers, he
said, because the labor and materials
necessary to the crop production had
been supplied during the high price
period.
"The American people must see to
it that the farmers secure credit sm-
ficient for their needs" Mr.. Meredith
continued. "Only thus can they con-
tinue to supply the nations need for
food. I think you gentlemen fully
realize that If the farmer is to con-
tinue to produce and meet the food Re-
quirements Of the nation, he must
have adequate prices for his products.
The farmer is not the only one who
would be adversely affected if he fails
to secure reasonable return for his
efforts. I do not think you can fail
to see that the farmers problems are
your problems, that your ultimate
prosperity depends upon right so-
luton of the difficulties confronting
the farmer"
The marketing problem, Mr.. Mere
dith said, was the greatest one facing
the agricultural interests. He urged
that bankers assist cooperative farm
ers' enterprises, and acknowledged
that bankers had already given Every
great aid" to agriculture.

School Trustees Meet

The school trustees of the county
met Monday at the call of the super
intendent of education. Notwith-
standing that this is one of the busiest
seasons of the year, the call of the
superintendent was answered by trus-
tees from about forty of the fifty
five school districts. Mr.. B. B. Chand-
Ter, president of the Trustees asso-
citation, called the body together, and
Mr.. J. Ted Frierson acted as secre-
tary.
The trustees were alive with inter-
est and entered into discussion Of a
number of subjects pertaining to edu-
cational progress. A very suggestive
message was read from the State
Superintendent, and the principal dis
cussions were on the various phases
of State aid to schools.
Although clearly showing their ap-
proval of the principle of State ap-
preparations for needy schools, the
opinion of the trustees seemed to be
general that twenty pupils per teach
er, instead of twenty-five, should be
the minimum requirement for schools
coming under the equalization act.
The two following resolutions were
offered, discussed and carried without
dissenting vote:
"Be it resolved, that the Williams
burg Trustees Association go on rec
ord as approving the present policy
of the State legislature to make In
creased appropriations for the public
schools; that it is the sense OF this
body that these appropriations should
be largely increased along carefully
planned lines; that there should be
special appropriation for high school
pupils in cases of centralized high
schools, conditioned on the districts
levying transportation tax, as 1t IS
only through means of such schools
that we can see an opportunity for
real high school work"
"Whereas, a recent Act has been
passed by the legislature largely in
creasing State aid for school build
ings, but in no case to exceed the
amount given by the county, and
"Whereas, the county, under sec
tions 1853 and 1764, is provided with
authority to use 5 per cent. of her
total school funds for building ad,
but in no case to exceed $4,000 for
any one building; and
Whereas, the said 5 per cent. OF
the counties total school fund would
be sufficient at present to meet the
States increase limit for aid; there
fore be it
Resolved, that our delegation in
the legislature be requested to author
ize the County Board of Education
through legislative Act, to meet the
States proposition on equal grounds
to the extent of the per cent. fund
referred to-"
