Good Advice Not Needed

From the Centreville Press. f*
There are certain departments Of
the government that are making an
effort to better mankind physically
and financially, but they are receiv-
ing little encouragement from those
they would benefit. Experts from
Auburn tell the farmer the best
methods to farm and grow their
crops. They have secured this in
formation from the best farmers
throughout the country who have
made success in the business, and
yet there are lot of farmers with
patches in the seat Of their breaches
who pay no attention to their sug-
gcstions. p sAl

Movement Worth While
From the. Roanoke Leader.

From the Roanoke Leader.
People who have taken the posi-
ton that the farmers cooperative
plan for handling cotton could not
succeed must have known, upon
reflection, that the only reason why
failure should occur would be the
indifference of farmers toward this
very simple and practical PROPOSE
ton. Therefore, the only iustifi-
able attitude that any personscan af-
ford. to assume. SO far as we can see,
is that of encouraging the farmers
to join forces in wrestling the piofi.s
Of the cotton crop out of the hands
Of the spectators, particularly the
bears.

workers, as well as the men who
stayed on the job here at the shop
and prepared the bodies of the
miners for burial. Bessemer streets
have been crowded since Wednesday
afternoon and the crowds about the
undertaking parlors have been most
morbid. They move first from our
shop across the street to, the va
