DON'T VIOLATE CONTRACT
Fair Warning To Members of N. c,
Cotton Growers Cooperative Asso
citation.

There seems to be some misuadcr
standing among our members in re-
gard to selling their cotton on the
open market. In making my
rounds over the county | have been
informed that the news has been
circulated around that if a member
owes an account he can sell his cot
ton on the open market and settle
his account. 1t is very important
that you understand this point very
clearly. There can be but one thing
that can release member from
delivering his, cotton to the associa.
ton, namely, the refusal of the
mortgage or lien holder to agree
to its delivery for sale through the
association and then only after he
has notified a representative of the
association of the existence of such
mortgage or lien and he has fail
ed to persuade the mortgage or
lien holder to allow the cotton to
be sold through the association.
We believe that no mortgage or
lien holder will prevent the cotton
being sold through the association
when he has understood that thc
association will sell the cotton for
a better price than the open market
will pay and that he will be paid
, the Indebtedness secured by such
paper or papers to the extent Of the
full price obtained by the associa-
ton for such cotton.
Remember that every member Of
/ the association is a part of the asso-
ciation and it is his duty to deliver
4 his cotton to the association in good
condition and as soon as possible
after havingit ginned in order that
the association can make sales
/ when the association deems it adj
| visable to make a sale. It's. also
/ your duty to see that interest is
manifested among your fellow-menn-
bers. If you know of any one who
seems to be inclined to break his
| contract it is your duty to try and
! prevent such, but if you are unable
to keep him from doing SO, then
it is your duty to make report Of
same to your Field Representative
| and he will see that a report is
made to the association.
/ We believe that all of our mem
bers signed up with the association
1 in good faith and by doing so in
/ tended to help himself and his fell
low members to be more prosper
GUS through securing better prices
for his cotton.
Let me ask that every member in
Richmond county give loyal coop
Grafton and let's not have a single
Iyiolation in the county.

| Field Representative.

Help Whip Princeton

"Jocko" Conlon, the star short
stop of the st. Johnsbury baseball
team last summer and the present
captain of the Harvard Varsity,
played an active part in the debacle
of Princeton at Cambridge on
Saturday afternoon. The Princeton
Tigers were overwhelmingly de-
feated by the Harvard sluggers by
the score of - to l.,
A peculiar incident of the con-
test was the fact that McIlvan, the
Princeton left fielder hit the very
first ball pitched TO him by Eddie
Goode over the fence for a home
run. This was the onlv run of the
entire game, Goode thereafter
holding the visitors Iunless.
Conlon is certainly the leading
shortstop in collegiate ranks this
year. He has no peer. with the pos
sible exception of Gagnon, who
plays the same position for the fast
Holy Cross team which trimmed
Harvard a week ago by the score
of 2 to l.
Eddie Goode, one of the best
known and most capable twirlers
in college this year, also played an
the St Johnsburv baseball team
last year. The only defeat he has
sustained this year has been at the
hands of Holy Cross.

former governor of Vermont is
dead. He was a man who won sue
cess in the business world and a
fair degree Of success in his politi-
cal ambitions, having served in the
state legislature a number of terms
and being governor of the state.
He gave the state a business ad-
ministration while he was chief
executive, inaugurating several
changes and economies. He was
fearless and determined when he
had settled on policy and his
term was characterized by more or
less uneasiness in political circles
and by general shake-up in the
departments. Naturally he was the
target of much criticism and dur
ing is lifetime he did not receive
credit for the good he accomplish
ed. He was a strong man of sound
judgement, with definite ideas
and of the plae which politics
should hold in governmental affairs
Criticism had little deterrent effect

girls will not phase a St. Johns

EDITORIAL
Educating Public Sentiment


Business success is TIC a large eX-
tent dependent on public sentiment
toward an enterprise or article OF
merchandise. Peculiar prejudiceS
take root in the nublic mind, but
people are easily accessible to rea-
son, and such sentiment can be re-
moved by sincere efforts to present
facts as they are.
An interesting illustration is
given in the remarkable change
that has taken place in the popu-
lar feeling about plunes as an ar
ticle of food. Formerly prunes
were subject for the humorists,
who made Jokes about this fruit
as the staple diet which the land
lady worked off on the bcarders,
and which they consumed unwill-
ingly.
Today the feeling about prunes
has entirely changed and they re
regarded as delicacy and the
borders kick if they do not get
them. They sell at much higher
price, far easier than formerly at
low price. How was it done?
A great improvement in the
methods of growing, handling and
grading them was largely response
BILE. But the big increase in con-
sumption of this fruit could never
have been achieved without a no.
table advertising campaign.
During the war piunes sold well
and the production was greatly
increased. After the war the Euro
pean demand fell off, owing to pow
erty over there. To meet this situa
ton 5000 prune and apricot grow
ers organized an association and
spent $685. COO in advertising in
1919. In 1920 conditions looked
blue for the trade, owing to bust
ness depression, and it was predict
ed that the crop would not sell.
But a very active advertising cam
paign was carried on, and the crop
was sold out in three months.
Any business that finds itself
ignored or misconceived of by the
public, can get a hearing for the
merits of its proposition in the
same way. Tell your stor- through
the newspapers and the public will
understand you better.

Clifford Pinchot

The triumph of Clifford Pinchot
over Attorney General Alter in
the Pennsylvania primaries for
the Republican, nomination for
governor show that the voters in
that state are sick of the now
broken down Penrose machine and
propose to have party politics
with out boss dication. Mr.. Pin
chot hasten to assure the people
that his nomination is not a re-
buke of the Harding administra
ton and says that the Pennsylv
ania delegation TO the Republican
convention will be for Harding.
Nevertheless many of the papers
see in Pinchot's victory an eX-
preston of disfavor at the adj
ministration and the lack of ac-
complishments of the Republican
Party.
Nh. Pinchot is back in the Re
publican fold and stands for the
the best ideals Of the grand old
party. ANY attempt to belittle
his ability or standing in the
party will react on the men that
began it. He was one of the
strong men in the Roosevelt ad
ministration and has come back
at time when the party is sadly
in need of leadership.
The probable return of Albert
J. Beveridge to the Senate and
the equally probable election o.
Clifford Pinchot as governor of
Che Keystone state will have a
tremendous influence in the future
