HINSoN FAMILY REUNION.

Last Wednesday, July 9th, the
members of the Hinson family (of
the late Mrs. Queen V. Hinson) mo-
torcd t6 the beautiful country home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Livingston Smith
near Wagram, in Scotland county.
They were joined here by other rela-
tives, and the. annual Hinson reu-
Mon was held with good attendance.
This was not the largest, but one
of the most enjoyable reunions thai
has been held in some years.
For the occasion the house was
decorated with cut flowers and
ferns. Every thing was splendidly
arranged for delightful entertain
ment.
After an hour of greeting, happy
conversation and general enjoy
ment; an elaborate picnic dim 81
VAS served from long tables ar
ranged leneath the large oak trees
on the lawn.
When the party returned from a.
enjoyable swim in the Lumber
river refreshments were served con
! sisting of watermelons, peaches and
cantaloupes.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs
A. w. Porter, Mr.. and Mrs. G. E
Hinson and Mrs. r. Coley, from
Rockingham; Mr. and Mrs. r. E. ani
E. L. Hinson of Hamlet, Mr.. and Mrs
B. C. Hinson, from Monroe.
Music was rendered Throughout
the day and was enjoyed by all i'm
mensely. Numerous kodak picture
were taken of the happy family.

SMALL COTTON CROP
Continued from front page.

665,000 linterS. While the carry
over is the largest on record, yet
it was smaller than was expected
by the trade, which looked for a
total of something like 9,5OO,0OO
bales. The total consumption by
the world of American cotton,
according TO Secretary Hester.
amounted to 10,500,00O bales
against 12,670,0O0 bales last year.
Cotton production by states
forecast by the Department of
Agriculture as of July 25th,
with the 500 pound bale as a
standard, follows:
Alabama 443,000 bales this
year and 662,927 last year; Ar.
IONA, 5000 and 102, 785; Arkansas,
10000 and 1,2O9,34O; California,
10000 and $4,000; Florida, $4,000
and 1906; Georgia, 1,OSS,OOO and

and 323,980; Texas, 2,443,OOO and
4,326,370; Virginia, $4,000 and
1926; all other states, 5000 and
1866.
The condition of 64.7 is the low.
est on record for an August re.
port since the Department of
Agriculture began publishing its
estimates in 1870. The forecast
of 8,2O3,000 bales, if realized in
the harvest, would be the small
est crop since 1895. The Govern
ment's forecast of the crop, based
on the condition as of July Is in
a series of years, together with
the actual harvest, is as follows:

But the consumer suffers more
when food is plentiful than when
scarce. The average grain, potato,
peach, pear and apple production
per year from 1911 to 1918 inclusive,
was 5,S205l0,000 bushels, while in
1919 it was 1881 900 bushels. In
1920, the production was unprcce-
dented. The corn crop was so large
that it did not pay to gather it all,
yet millions were and are starving
for want of food.
Since 1916, the average agricul-
tural production has been in excess
of S20,000,000,000; while in 1919 it
was approximately $25,OOO,O0O,O0O.
In 1920, with larger crops than ever
before the value was estimated at
only S19,S56,000,000.
In May 1920, defation of the cir
Culation OF money set in, the farmer
was held up and robbed and the
poor consumer found prices nearly
as high as ever, with his income cut
off or his job lost, and little which
to buy the necessities of life.

thinking that we will wait and get

PRAY tell me how We shall do that.

autsidc, will still be among the same
Old speculative friends that have
so easily extracted their profits in
the past and left them the empty
bag to hold. We should not thus
fool ourselves. The a, so 'iation will
get better prices for its members,
cotton by selling in business way
and thus by saving the terrible eX-
penses that we have heretofore been
subject to before joining ha..ls for
protection.
If not members, how shall we
avoid the usual losses:
Differences in grades $3.50 per
bale.
Freight deductions, $50 per bale.
Country damage deductions, 30
pounds per bale for country damage,
etc.
The association will save all these
expenses for members and then add
a reasonable profit. Remember that
our old speculative friends are
not accustomed to working for their
health"
Better get in while the getting in
is easy.
Farmers out of the marketing as
ISOLATION last year in California, did
their best to get in and reap the 10
cents per pound that members were
getting, but the association had al
ready contracted the products of
members only and could not butcher
the membership by accepting the
products of none members.
The result was that non members
received / cents per pounds, while
their old speculative friends got
the other cents which could have
been saved by joining the associa-
ton in time
This is a fair warning. This aSsO
citation will positively not organize
until they get enough control in the
cotton market to succeed. When
they do, would it be fair for them tC
contract cotton at profit and Their
knife their own members by ac
ccpting the products OF outsiders on
such contracts? Remember that this
association when organized, will bt
the largest cotton selling concern il
til, world, otherwise they could no
succeed.
: If your past experience in selling
has iccn satisfactory and You thinl
you can ito better outside the assO
citation, then you'd better save you
$500 for that's all you'll ever save.

TRY IN ANOTHER WAY.

The lever was mans first invention.
He placed tree trunk under a mann
mouths carcass and pried it up. Then
one day there came genius" who
dropped a rock on the end OF the pois-
ed lever and thus was born the first
machine delivering power.
Look about you. When you see per-
sons Engaged in simple mechanical op-
erations, experiment a little. do the
trick" another way. Perhaps it won't
R"work", but then again you may dis
cover a new and better process.
For untold years man has separated
gold nuggets from sand by mixing
Nboth with water and then carefully
shaking the inclosing vessel until the
heavier gold sank to the bottom and
was carried away.
That is a slow process and altogeth-
er unsatisfactory. Just this year a
genius" made the overwhelming dis
covery" that if mixture of sand and
gold bits was left dry and shaken
vertically, in about tenth the time
it would take to pan a wet sand and
gold mixture, all the gold in the dry
mixture would rise to the top of the
sond.
He's applied for patent on his gold
separator. Barring misfortune he'll be
wealthy and they'll call him gen
ius," because he was the first man to
do this thing backward.

been entered for the annual A. K. c.
show to be held at Pinehurst on April
rs, and the indications are that when
the entries close on March 25th, the
list, SO far as the class of entrants is
concerned, will make the show the
most important one that has even been
held in the south.
The latest entries among the Poms
include Mrs. o. e. Lakeland's Pioneer
Wee Blackie. a champion of champi-

Champion Miss Stoker, won tibet,

HISTORY OF PRICES REPEATS

The Federal Reserve bank, of New
York, has been prepared from gov
eminent statistics, chart, showing by
years, since 1925, the ebb and flow of
prices Of the "a commodities of COM
mon use, expressed in actual money
values.
For instance the chart shows that
what cost si.25 in 1925 could be bought
foE 70 cents in 1895 and about $3.50
in January. 1921.
The chart shows that actual prices
averaged exactly the same in 1912,
1873 and 1913. Prices in 1919 were the
same as in 1864. In 1896 prices aver
aged lower than in any previous year
back to 1925, earliest record available,
barring the temporary sltmps due to
panics, as in 1873.
Prices declined steadily from 1854.
reached the bottom in 1896, then rose
steadily until May, 1920, and now are
on the toboggan downward again.
The reason one generation cannot
understand the next is largely due to
changing prices--the fluctuating buy
ing power of the dollar.
Father observes son spending SIS a
week and shakes his head. He mum
bles something about keeping family
on, SIS month in the old days.
Father forgets that in the old days
he didn't pay $50 or more month for
rent, or $50 for fair suit of clothes.
or that the average tax levy in 1921
is as big as the yearly cash income of
Jonas, the hired man on the farm in
the old days.
In this generation, son may think
fathers complaints are those of an
old-fashioned tightwad. Several gen.
erations hence when the tables are
turned and prices are low, great
grandson viii run across a 1920 ex-
pense account in the old trunk in the
attic and will lament that the family
would be as rich as chocolate cake if
great-grandpop had saved his enor-
mour income in 1920.

WHY BE STRONG?

Woman admires strength in man.
To her the thought of strength is al
ways synonymous with the thought of
man.
Her ideal Is physically perfect. The
athlete with his well-rounded muscles
and perfect symmetry evokes an ad-
miration from the woman that spin
die legs and bony arms can never do.
And what is true of woman and her
ideals for man is likewise true of man
in his ideals of woman. He, too, loves
the physically perfect.
If you'd win the admiration Of the
other sex, go in for athletics.

SING
BY Alfred Arnold.

The heart that keeps a-singing
AS it plods along its way,
1t sets the hours a-winging
Till sweat seems just like play.
II matches mornings gladness
With a spirit yeasty light,
And bores hole through sadness
Before the night.
OF course. we all have trouble;
II sticks, just like our skin;
But don't you make IL double
BY worrying: you'll get thin
But meet it with. SAY, sorrow.
OF course you'll have your fling;
Come back and talk tomorrow:
I'm going TO sing!"
For song can set to music
The pleasure and the pain;
And raise enough real courage
To move stalled freight train.
IL has some ginger in 1t
That seems 10 make you strong.

squeeze as he STOOD beside me. love
these revelations of the beauty loving
side of Dicky's nature. 1t Is this at
tribute of his that most appeals to me.
1t Is not the first time I have thanked
my stars that 1 am not married to a
man with the average masculine pro-
sale indifference toward the things Of
life which are so vital to me.
Dicky slipped his arm around me
and drew me close to him, and for
long minute we stood silently watch
ing the sun rays melt into the dark
purplish shadows of the mountain
top. The sun itself had long since dis
appeared. AS the last fire-tipped 'ay
vanished Dicky swung me around
boyishly.
Exit soulful sighings over noun

I had barely finished drying my
hands when a tap sounded at the
door. Upon my opening 1t Mrs. Cos
grove beckoned me into the hall.
"y an pardon my troubling you
she said, .'but my boy just told, me
that you were Mr.. Graham's sister in
stead of his wife, while I understood
from Mrs. Ealpin's telephone message
that it was Mr.. and Mrs. Graham
that were coming. I thought I would
like to get it Strengthened out so that
would not be addressing you wrong
ly."
With lightning flash Of intuition
saw that the calm, sensible, perfectly
poised woman before me would re-
sent any attempt to make her one of
the victims Of the foolish jest which
Dicky was playing upon the dark We
man who had come up with US on the
train and was a fellow boarder at
Cosgroves. There was nothing for Il.
I knew, but to tell her the whole
truth.
ST am Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Cos
grove" I said quietly. I'VE came up
on the train with a woman who is one
of your boarders.''
grove returned, nodding her head.
BECAUSE she heard my husband
call me Sister Sue' a foolish little
nickname which he gave me long ago,
and because he asked yo1Ir son ioT
two rooms, Mrs. Allis assumed that
we were brother and sister. My hus-
band, who loves a bit Of mischief, did
not wish me to spoil the joke by telling
the truth, so we simply allowed thu
mistake to pass"
Mrs. Cosgrove looked thoughtful for
moment, then she smiled geniahy
But there was a touch of something
that seemed almost like malice in the
smile.
81 don't think there will be any
| harm at all to keep up that joke for
a few days, If you don't mind" she
said. Mrs. A1lis's face will be worrA
seeing when she finds out the truth.'
She turned to walk away. AS sac
reached the head of the stairs she
looked back.
Supper is ready any time you ara"
she said.
The same little ambiguous smile was
still. lingering. around her lips.
AS I turned back into the room to
summon Dicky I carried with me the
impression that Mrs. Cosgrove dis
liked Mrs. Allis. and that very prob
ably she had some good reason for de-
ing so.
