And the little birds soon

Your Good And Ours.

As you wander along the
highways and the byways of
this town il is possible that you
see many things which you
think should not be.
Do you ever speak of these
things to people who have the
power of correction?
Does il occur to you that
their absorption in other duties
may have caused them to over
look some of the things that
are so plain to you?
DO you realize that their
brains plus yours are more po-
tent than their brains alone?
Every man owes a duty TO
the community that shelters
and sustains him. That duty
is TO aid in the advancement Of
the welfare of the community
as a whole.
Calling attention 10 unde-
sirable conditions is not neces-
sarily a reflection upon the

pair Of eyes cannot see every
thing. neither can one brain
master everything-and the
Lord does not provide any man
with more Of either.
II may not be possible for
the authorities 10 make a
prompt correction Of condi-
tons you report, as there is a
limit 10 their possibilities. But
your report will impress them
upon their minds. and in time
they may be able TO afford the
desired relief.
This community has reached
its present state of desirability
through the efforts Of all Of
our people. II will become
even more desirable as we
bend additional efforts 10 that
end.
Speak up and be heard.
Your criticisms are Of no value
until you make a noise.
II is for your good and ours.

Have these people or their

cancellation of the allied debts
will raise the value of this for

Bush, the young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Bush of East Gastonia, is in
the city hospital as a result of injuries
received late yesterday afternoon when
he was struck by an automobile while
crossing the road near the Flint mill.
Young Bush, it is said, did not see the
car until he was struck. He WAS
knocked down TO one side into a ditch,
rendering him unconscious for a short
time. He received some cuts, scratch
es and bruises on his head, arms ana
thigh, which were painful but not sc
rious. He is about II years of age.
The car was driven by a Charlotte
man whose name could not be learn

all in his power to prevent the acci-
dent, turning partly out of the road
to avoid hitting the boy.........At the

OUTLOOK FOR coTToN.
Many Indications Seem to Make for
Higher Prices -.

1l9neT FTlCes.'
The past two weeks, or rather the
period since August i, has witnessed
recovery in cotton value of So or 81
per bale in the futures market and
similar advances in the markets Of the
South. This would be regarded as a
healthy sign of recovery under ordi-
nary circumstances. 1t might mean
that the cotton farmers would standa
chance TO break even on this years
crop. Indications in the market point
TO even higher levels for futures after
the first burst OF new crop selling is
cut OF the way. Also a healthy sign
under normal conditions. However,
the important and regrettable feature
OF the advance is tho fact that prices
ire not going higher because of in
'reaged mill buying, which means in
lirectly Increased consumption. It Is
going higher because the farms of the
South have been mutilated by weather
onditions which are spelling the crop
and because the crop when raised has
20 face a vOracious horde OF destruc-
tive wceviIs and their kindred.
This will mean that such portions of
the South as have the luck to raise all
or part Of n crop will receive good
prices-comparative their cot
sections will have further losses 10
pile on the heavy burden which was
placed on the shoulders of the pro-.
ducer in the 1920 defation.
1t must be agreed that true pros
perity does not consist of high prices
obtained for one product which means
that some other consuming. class must
pay more for an article than the cir
culating medium of their own produc-
ton is worth. Rather, prosperity may
be said to mean the freest circulation
of commodities, large production, Civ
ing employment to many and with
free circulation and large production,
large quantity trading bases, meaning
large quantities of commodities, are
within reach of the average man.. This
prosperity cannot be obtained when it
is necessary to cut cotton acreage be-
cause that either means that land tt
self is left to waste or that other crops
are raised, which makes for hardship
on the producers who would ordinari-
ly raise that other crop. Neither can
true prosperity be attained by such
means or artificial stimulation of val
ues, or rather of costs, reduction of q
commodity supply for any reason.
such as the destructon Of cotton by
weather and weevil. The South Is to
be pitied for its short crop rather than
congratulated on obtaining higher
prices for a reduced supply.-New
