wish to inform all readers of the
Fosr-DlsPATcH that the baseball game
between Ellerbe and Roberdel has not
been forfeited. The committee who ar.
ranged the baseball schedule has not for.
feited the game to Ellerbe.
For the benefit of those interested,
wish to say that Roberdel could not play
on that date because several boys on her
team were sick. Roberdel asked Ellerbe
for another date, but was refused. On
being refused. we wanted to fill up the
vacant places in our team, but we found
that it would be necessary to play boy
who had not been quite 80 1-3 per cent of
the time. Ellerbe absolutely refused to
let US play him, and they were playing
Broadway who had not been 80 l-3 per
cent of the time. If they had the right
to play Broadway, we had the right to
play our boy. Ellerbe's representative
refused to take our word in regard to
how long our boy had been to school
after we had taken theirs and demanded
us.to bring our record for him to see.
Ellerbe has no right to the championship
because she refuses to give other schools
the same privilege which she takes.

Milk as a Food for Children

The dairy farmer with his cows
contribute more to the food sup
ply than any other producer.
Meat we can do without; wheat
we can Danish from our table,
but if our children are to grow
and continue strong and healthy
they must have their bowl of
milk. The cow stands .betwee.l
starved and rickety children and
lusty youth. Milk is an excel.
lent food, and one quart gives as
much nourishment as one pound
of lean meat. Give each child
at least one glassful for breakfast.
Let them use it on the cereal or
drink it hot or cold. No tea or
coffee should be given children,
and / don't think either should
be used much by grown-ups.
Children should be taught to
drink milk; one quart each day
will give them bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, strong bodies and good
brains, so encourage them to
drink it. Stir it into soups, put it
in custards. Use milk and use it
freely. 1t is readily digested and
needs no cooking; it also supplies
energy which enables the body
to work. The building materials
are protein and minerals. Few
other foods lend themselves so
readily to cookery or are cap
able of entering into the prepar,
alton of so great a number of
dishes.

Aged White Woman
Breaks Her Own Leg

From Moore County News, 28th)
While trying 20 get relief from
rheumatism, from which she is a
sufferer, a Mrs. Hall, living near
White Hill Church, last Thursday
clasped her hands over her right
leg just below the knee and
pulled with all her strength, with
the result that the limb was
broken between the knee and
hip.
Although living within a few
miles of a number of doctors, and
sending to Sanford, Carthage and
Vass in search of one it was 20
hours before one could be Sc
cured, as all were busy at the
time of the call, and when DR.. c.
T. Grier was finally secured he
found the aged woman in a seri.
Gus condition, as she is 81 years
of age, totally blind and suffers
from acute stomach trouble. The
delay in securing medical aid was
not due to any negligence, as
every effort was made to get
assistance earlier.

Mr.. Editor
Please allow us space in your
paper to say a word concerning
the sudden and very sad passing
of our student, Anguish Everette,
of Pleasant Hill School, Wednes-
day morning, April 9th, 1921.
He was KILLED by lightning. Our
Heavenly Father saw fit to take
him from us; he was in his
twelfth year. Anguish was a
splendid boy, polite, apt and win.
ming. He was a member Of the
fourth grade and was favorite
of his classmates and of the
whole school, and also his teach
er. He gave signs to develop
into a splendid man. He was
obedient and loving.
The news of the sad death
was a shock to the whole COM
munity. Anguish was the son
of Victor Everette and wife. We
will miss him but we know that
whatever the Lord doeth is best,
therefore, we bow in humble
submission, and say "Thy will be
done"
His teachers.

CENTRAL LEATHER.

Has the liquidation OF inventories
proceeded satisfactorily? In many
cases balance sheets show that 1t has
not.
The Central Leather inventories
have only been reduced about $4,000
900, while the company showed a de-
ficit OF x25. 900. 900 for 1920. Although
it's inventory may be made up of low
priced goods bought during the last
year. IL Is felt that holdings are still
too large. Should its business go
back TO pre-war basis there is no
necessity for such large holding.
In several other lines the same con-
ditions are apparent. Until a further
writing down OF inventory Is accom-
plished, no permanent improvement
is looked for. The companies who
first accomplish this readjustment
will be the first to snow Improvement
and traders refuse 10 turn bullish on
those stocks where they believe the
inventory account ~ too high.

QUESTION OF WISDOM.

The business world long since got
over it's initial serious questioning of
the wisdom Of the choice of Senator
Harding as Presidential candidate
made by the Republican convention
and has come to have quite a fair
measure of respect for Harding. He
is confidently expected to give the
country n constructive. unspectacular
administration.
There is just this note of warning
sometimes heard: President Harding
must be careful not to adopt policies
savoring of standpatism or reaction.
lest he and his administration alien
ate and antagonize the more progress
sive elements of the population en-
braced in both political parties. In
this connection Hoover's inclusion in
the Cabinet is cordially welcomed,
because he enjoys the confidence and
friendship of labor union leaders, and,
as matter of fact, has lately been
in close cooperation with them in an
effort to arrive at an amicable, sem
sible settlement of matters now exer-
cising grave concern in responsible
circles both among labor and en-
ployers.
On the whole, finance and business
await the advent of the Harding ad-
ministration with distinct hopeful

ATLANTIC GULF FINANCING.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.--The reports
and inuendos published regarding
dealings in Atlantic Gulf & West In
dies have thrown cloud over the
prospective financing. IL is believed
in many quarters that whatever the
motive is OF those concerned, IL has
put a serious obstacle in the way
Of the management by lessening
public confidence. This may cause
bankers to hesitate to underwrite
new issue.
One estimate places the cost OF the
4 II, 400 tons OF new tankers built for
the company at 500 ton. The exist
ing. value OF this feet Is about 1928
a ton, so that the company has suffer-
ed a paper loss of $65 a ton, or Sll,-
2O8. 600. The new financing contem-
plated would have just taken care
Of this deduction.
Directors meet today TO act on
the preferred dividend. An official re-
Gently stated the dividend depended
on the new financing, so the action
taken at this meeting will make clear
the status OF the plan to raise funds.
