But why grieve over ills that
can be remedied, or at least put
off till a much later date?
Instead Of wasting time and en-
ergy in fretting over the appear
ance of a wrinkle here or a flabby
muscle there, set to work with
spirit and determination to abol-
ish them.
Now, your neck is one Of the
first places where increasing
one has lost the first youthful
bloom, the muscles beneath the
chin begin to grow weak and
flabby. They are likely to sag,
and the dreaded double chin be-
gins to develop. Also, there Is a
deep wrinkle which starts from
the lower end of your ear and
wends its direful way down your
cheek.
But you can find comfort in the
knowledge that it is UP to you
to retard these distressing signs.
Indeed. you can put them off for
many years maintain that a
woman can make herself appear
at least ten years younger II her
will is in the task. And this
means not only to appear so for
a time, but to stay SO.
1t Is not necessary in this re-
juvenating process to resort to
any artificial means, such as
hair dyes, paint and other cos
metics. which merely hide the
signs of age but do not abolish
or retard them.
In the first place, the way that
you carry your neck and chin will
have much to do with the length
Of time you keep them young.
II you learned the correct car
riage for your head when you
were young, and have always held
your chin up and well in. your
neck will be much less likely to
develop the dreaded wrinkles
that precede a double chin.
II you have allowed your chin
to drop toward your neck, deter.
mine now to hold 1t up. You will
benefit greatly by the improve
ment in your carriage. and your
poise and dignity will increase.
For II your chest is held up and
out. and not allowed to droop into
a hollow. your shoulder blades will
stay fiat as they should, and your
carriage will improve immeasur.

Massaging your neck with a good
skin food and whitener is another
important precaution. Here is
cream which 1 consider excellent
to nourish and whiten the skin Of
the neck:
Honey ....... ! tablespoonful
Lemon juice. l tablespoonful
Whites Of two eggs.
Almond meal to make a paste.
Keep this in a tightly closed jar.
Any empty cold cream jar will do.

The Street PAVING.

TO the Citizens of Rockingham:
From the hest information that
the town officials can obtain, they
have concluded, that to insure the
best results in street paving, the
concrete base should not be subject
cd to traffic of any kind for period
of IL days. After that time passen,
ger automobiles with pneumatic
rubber tires are permitted the use
of the concrete base. However, |
most respectfully ask that you use
it as little as possible even after the
14-day period.
l sincerely hope that this regu-
lation will be complied with with.
out fretting, as it is made purely
for the purpose OF helping to insure
you q good street.
Respectfully,
This September Is, 1922.

Cooperative Cotton.

Raleigh, Sept. 1S.-More than l.
200 bales of cotton are being deliv-
cred daily to the North Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative. asso
citation, according to General Man
ager U. B. Blalock, who expects the
daily average to pass the two thous
and mark before the end of this
week.
In line with the policy adopted
by the board of directors to make an
advance of approximately 80 per
cent of the market value of the cot
ton at the time of delivery, the
association management has ar.
ranged to make a further advance
on long staple cotton to bring the
total advance up to that mark. The
additional distribution will be made
in about ten days after delivery
and will be based on government
figures for the Charlotte district.
Cotton of an inch and one-sixteenth
or over is known as long staple.
The advance of $50 per bale was
decided upon by the board of direc-
tors as being approximately so per
cent of the market value of a stan
dard bale of cotton. The definite
figure was selected to facilitate tho
handling OF accounts of members.
Further advance will be made as
fast as sales will permit.
Receiving agents have been APP
pointed for more than 200 points
and contracts have been closed with
SO warehouses with prospects OF
curing at least a score more. This
will provide the association with
more than. 300 poins for receiving
cotton, according to B. F. Brown,
manager of the cotton department.
Where members do not live near
enough TO receiving point to de-
liver their cotton conveniently they
may ship to the nearest warehouse
and have their bills of lading hon
ored at the nearest bank, Mr.. Brown
states, though it is preferable to de.
liver at designated receiving points
or warehouses.
North Carolina banks have ar
ranged to loan the association two
million dollars for its revolving
fund The association has credit
of ten million dollars with the War
Finance Corporation, which Will be
available when needed.
The. association is still keeping its
doors open for members but it will
soon be necessary to close them as
it will be impracticable to receive
a cotton grower as a member after
he has sold a part of his cotton on
the open market. The association
has more than 100000 bales of cot
ton signed up, which is more than
so per cent of the North Carolina
cotton crop.

there was no one in sight-nothing but the
house, the new clearing and the black
wall of rocks, all clear as day in the
moonlight. I left the lamp burning when

he went to bed in the back room. Before

so used to them by that time that
didn't stop to think about the other fellow
being scared. An hour or so before day
light he gave a yell that made me sit up

he said when he had calmed down little.
There's been a bunch Of people walking

wouldn't like to stay with me until their

me-not a bit afraid of ghosts.
There was big double bed in the
back room. This fellow slept on the out
side, with his wife next to the wall, under
an opened window. The spoohs were out
that night, and the two travellers lay
