URGES RECORD
OF WAR PAPERS
County Recorder RyersOn Wants
Service Men to Be Prepared
for Bonus.

The possibility of proposed bonus
legislation being passed by con-
gress, makes it important that all
ex-service men have their discharge
certificates properly recorded,
County Recorder Sam Ryerson
pointed out today. He said there
are hundreds of men in the county
who have not yet availed them
selves of this opportunity to pro-
tect their records of service who
will undoubtedly do SO if called
upon to send the papers to Wash
ington.
"Why wait until the bonus be-
comes a fact?" he asks. 'The thing
to do now is to record certificates
and be prepared to send them to
Washington without fear of being
lost, if the legislation passes"

had Il better time than when he was

in Elizabeth City attended the open

been and get in ready money with
which to buy new stocks for the

INDEPENDENT FINDS A
MARKET FOR APPLES
Editorial In This Newspaper Com
monted on Thruout the
State

The editorial i'll a recent issue OF
this newspaper entitled mir. james
and His Apples has been commented
upon thruout the state and brought
Mr.. James many orders for his ap-
pies which he can not fill, because
he fed his crop to his hogs. One
Rocky Mount, \. c. dealer writes
Mr.. james telling him that he will
dispose of his entire crop for him.
Commenting upon The lndepend-
ents editorial, the Raleigh News Il
Observer says there is Il better way
for Mr.. James TO sell his apples than
by peddling his own produce. That
way, says the News & Observer "is
in cooperation for the employment
of men and means to do the work
of doOr.to-door selling. Co-opera-
tive marketing means great deal
more than signing contract. 1t
means clubbing together to put the
farmers products before the people
in such way that the people will
buy them. Mr.. James can raise u
great many more apples than he can
20 from house to house and sell. lie
ought to be in position to devote all
his time to production and still be
sure that his apples would be ener-
getically marketed. This is one of
the aims of group selling already so
satisfactorily tested in the sale of
fruits raised in California and else
where"

of the varied life of the State.
Heretofore the Fair has had to de-
pend largely upon Raleigh and mmc-
diutrly adjacent sections of the State
but this year the support will BE-
statewide. Entries have already been
received from exhibitors in every
section of the State and every county
will probably be represented in the
