ON THE RIGHT TRACK

We are pleased to see that the
chamber of commerce and the busi-
ness men of the town who have money
are on the right track and pursuing
the proper course. Let US sound one
note of warning. Don't pursue too
many objects at the same time. Re-
member the old fable of the dog who
had the bone and undertook to grab
the shadow. He lost both.
But just as The Herald and News
said some time ago that the only thing
to do was to establish real market
and install warehouse and be pre-
pared to handle for the cash all the
farm products that the farmer of this
section had to sell, and to give him
the market price for it in cash, just
as he has been getting for his cot
ton. One reason the farmer of this
section has devoted all his energies to
cotton is that it is about the only
thing he could grow and feel that he
could haul it to market and get the
cash for it whether it was much or
little. AS rule if he had butter or
eggs or anything else to offer, about
the only thing he could do was to take
it out in trade, and, therefore, he had
no encouragement to grow it.
The creamery is fine thing and the
plan to go around and gather up the
milk and cream gives the small pro-
ducer an equal showing withe the big
one. If he has only one or two gallons
of milk day you will take it just toe
same as you would from the man who
happened to have thirty or even fif-
ty gallons. And we hope to see the
thing going at once.
Some years ago similar propose
ton was talked about, but that was
before the days of the boil weevil,
and the people did not give it the
encouragement they should, or the
creamery would have been IN opera
ton now.
We hope the plan may lead to the
establishment of that warehouse and
cold storage plant for the handling
of all sorts of farm produce and in
all quantities so that the producer
may know at all times he can get the
cash at market price for whatever he
has to sell, or if he can not he can
be told so before he leaves home by
simply calling the phone.
This is great section Of the world
in which we live and there are not
many so favored. We can make al
most anything we need right here, and
then it is a pleasant place in which
to live, but don forget that it is the
duty and the privilege of this section
to grow cotton, because the world
needs the cotton and it must be our
main money crop.

MR.. Y. M HUTCHINSON
RECALLS OLD TIMES

Wilmington, Del, Jan. %, 1922.
My Dear MIR. Editor:
Being at enforced leisure, with no.
thing to do but sit here and smoke my
dugeen, and with the old oman in
the next room taking short snooze,
and everything being as "quiet as a
church mouse" just thought
would occupy short space of my
leisure moments in penning you few
lines by way Of expressing my
thoughts.
If what I have to cay is of no inter
est to you please turn it over to the
"printer's devil or consign it to the
waste basket, and hope no hann will
come Of it.
MY inspiration to write you was
brought about by the rerninscence on
the death of your cold friend" Mr..
Geo. P. Griffin, which read on the
editorial page of last Tuesdays pa
per. I thought it was fine tribute
to the memory of the old gentleman,
and It aroused within me memories
of long ago when l was a lad in my
teens.
It brought back to my mind some
of the happenings of the days of long
ago when was school boy and lived
on a farm in old New5erry county

That was a fine snow but the
ground was too damp and not frozen
enough for it to remain, and so the
beautiful snow disappeared from the
ground almost as fast as it fell. And
the Dutch Weather prophet is happy
because he had predicted this very
snow at any time from the 18th to the
26th and it came along about half
wav. Now we would not care if he
would give US a little warmer wea-
,ther. But we are due some bad wea-
ther and nature is good paymaster
and does not neglect to settle.

/ The road 70 Chappells is in fairly
good condition, and yet it needs at
tention in many places, and the road
out to Vaughnville needs some more
top soil, but these highways for which
we have paid pretty good price and
which are worth the price should be
maintained if they are to remain good
and should have the attention all the
time. These highways are great
t;ngs and to the average citizen who
has occasion to use them only semi
occasionally they save many times
their cost to him. Not only the time
they save and the comfort they give,
but in actual cash in the wear of the
vehicle, whether it be motorcycle
or a bicycle or an auto or buggy or

We need to have few more so as
