CITIZENS DUTY TO VOTE

The State Primaries will be
held next Saturday, June 3rd
1t is d duty and privilege to vote
and every citizen who is register
ed should vote in these primar-
les. Unfortunately there will be
two primaries held in this coun-
ty, one June 3rd and the other
the latter part Of August, and,
therefore, it will be necessary
for the voters to go to the polls
twice IN order to nominate the
Democratic ticket. At the first
primary only State officers will
be elected, but it is vitality i'm
portant that all Democrats take
part o. contrary to the opinion
OF mos people, there is not any
too great difference in the Demo-
cratic and Republican vote iii
this State. If the practically
one hundred per cent Democratic
east PORTION Of the State does not
vote the Democratic ticket the
West may get in it's work. There
fore, do not neglect your duty
but g to the polls next Satur-
day, June 3rd, and vote for your
Democratic candidates.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
SOCIETIES IN SWE; DEN

1t may be comforting news t.
the farmers who are striving so
hard 70 put across the great
cooperative marketing plan III
eastern North Carolina to know
that the cooperative societies OF
Sweden last year had the great
est prosperity that they have had
since their organization, and this
in spite Of the world depression
at tits time.
These Swedes have one thou
sand cooperative store buildings
and loan associations, purchasing
societies. a large number Of dair-
les and seventy egg-selling or
carnations.
The deposits with the different
branches Of cooperative unions
increased to the equivalent Of
So, 100000, representing small
savings Of cooperative society
members. The greatest number
Of cooperative enterprises the re-
port shows are to be found IN the
bic industrial centers where the
bulk of membership is drawn
from the ranks Of workme en-
and their families.
AMI still with these facts be-
fore the public, there are many
farm ars who have not signe1
the contracts for cooperative
marketing of their cotton, to-
bacco and peanuts.
And in the face Of the over
whelmine evidence from Zen
lucky, Denmark and Sweden,
some people still contend that It
can not be made a success IN
North Carolina.
To these people the Souther~
ner would say: Watch and
wait and they will see the COM
ing Of salvation for the produ-
Ger, fer it is just as sure tn
come as the night follows day.

Benjamin Franklin Was
 Lover Of Music---Built
 Quaint Old Instrument

New York, Jan 14-Nadona1 Thrift Week, beginning Jan IT. will recall not only the familiar pictures of Ben jamin Franklin as philosopher, patriot, scientist and man of letters. but also the less familiar but equally fascinating one of Franklin as mu- sician. In addition to knowing the best European music of his day, somewhat unusual thing in a Colonial, the author of Poor Richard' him. self enriched the field of music by his invention, in 1762, of the har- monica, or musical glasses, which at- tained high degree of populaTity in the early days of American national history. Franklin became so prof. cient in playing this instrument that he inspired a poem of praise by one of the earliest American poets, Ma thanieI Evans.
 To commemorate this side of Franklin's gifted personality and to make better known his contribution to the development of the orchestra, the National Thrift Week Committee has authorized as one of its posters a picture showing the Father of Thrift" as also a lover of music. seat ed in playing position before his har- monica
 How Ben Made His Music.
 The principle und erlying Fu-anklin's device is that musical sounds can be produced by rubbing a wet finger over the edge of a tun1bler of water, the pinch varying with the amount of water in the glass. Rather clumsy experim ents had been made pre- viously by an Irishman named Puck erfdge and a few others, with numer ous tumblers of assorted lengths partly filled with liquid, so that the invention was not absolutely Frank lins. As shown by the illustration, Franklin's harm onica was made by asemsbling a number of glass discs so that they would revolve on a spindle, passing through water as they turn ed. They were played by touching the moist edges of the glasses, with the fingers as they revolved.
 The first virtuoSo on the musical
