COTTON NEEDED BY
MILLS URGED HERE
Farmers Can Get Better
Price if They Grow Type
Used in State

College Station, Raleigh, March 70
NORTH Carolina mills consume about
twice as much cotton as is produced
in the State.
This means that right here at
home is a market that growers can
not afford to neglect" said Glenn r.
Smith, associate agricultural econo-
mist at the N c. Experiment Station.
The mills buy mostly cotton of 1916
to l 1/16-inch staple length. Ihey
will buy North Carolina cotton when
they can get the desired length, he
pointed out, but they do not hesitate
to import it from other States when
necessary.
When this medium-staple cotton is
imported, Smith continued, 1t means
that farmers who produce short-staple
cotton have to depend on other con-
sumers for market.
Although most of the buying on
local markets is still on "hog-round
lot' basis, he said, the price paid for
cotton varies in different localities.
If most of the cotton sold on
given market is Of high quality and
medium staple length, he explained,
the price paid for hog-round lots is
higher than on markets where most
of tn clint is short and inferior.
A farmer producing good cotton is
handicapped when others in his COM
munity produce cheap lint, as he has
to sell his lint, in most cases, on a
market where the preponderance of
cheap cotton governs the price.
For this reason, Smith urges farm
ers to cooperate in improving the
grade and staple length of their crop
SO they can raise the average quality
of the cotton on their market This,
in turn, will tend to boost the price.

New York, March 26.-Smail Tales:
Eddie was an old man, although he'd
have had a stroke if you suggested II
to him. He was what you have heard
described many times as "play-boy'.
Which is to say, he had inherited
lot of money and he lacked both men
tai and emotional stability.
Girls, particularly chorus girls, lik-
ed him. think they'd have liked him
even without his money. He was
good listener. He could hear troubles
expounded with an attitude-half ia
therly and half romantic.
When a girl told him that she had
been to reform school he chuckled
and cried: you know, l think those
institutions are fascinating. I've al
WAYS wanted to see the inside of one.
1t must have been great adventure"
He was generous with his money
and a good host. He let people take
advantage of him and he kept send
ing birthday check to a young lady
of the chorus who had dragged his
name through the courts and the
newspapers Of the world in breach
of-promse suit. He bore no grudges
and it can be said that he practiced
the rn-the-other-cheek philosophy
People said that he liked publicity
liked to see his name linked with this
or that actress or chlorine. The truth
was that he writhed whenever the
breath of scandal touched him-which
was practically all the time. Actually,
he thought of himself as the pursued
party, because of his great charm for
the ladies; and undoubtedly they did
run after his money.
Of course he never earned a dollar
The money came in prodigally and he
invested it with prodigal lack of judg-
ment The 1929 holocaust in which he
bought wildly and as foolishly as the
next man, left him poor. He never
knew it, really, because by the time
he had been through bankruptcy he
was rich again. You see he bought,
crafty, 10000 shares of a stock which
sold for ten cents q share in 1926. To
day the shares are worth 1923 each
another fortune.
But Eddie is not here to enjoy his
money to continue his pointless round
of night clubs, theatres, race-tracks,
his ceaseless squirting of this and that
beauty. He is dead, He died in a pc
culiar way.
Although few know about it, he I'M
derwent thorough-going reformation
lust before the end. He took a trip
to Virginia for hunting or homeopathy
ing or something and his car broke
down one evening near a revivalists
camp meeting. Eddie attended serv-
ices and chit the trail
He stopped drinking Immediately.
He avoided the late spots. He went to
bed at nine p. m. He read improving
literature. He Became, suddenly, just
a tired old man who behaved himself
and obeyed doctors orders when he
contracted a slight cold.
But the cold grew worse hung on.
If affected his lungs. He sank rap
idly then and died in a few weeks.
His attending physician told friend
of mine:
Eddie simply couldn't stand such
a violent change in habits SO late in
life. He wouldn't taper off. The shock
of being exemplary killed him."
But who got his money Chart
ties, uplift societies?"
ooh, no. He was so busy being good
at the last that he clean forgot to
change his will. Everything he had
went to a little burlesk trouper out

STRIKE THREATS
 HAVE VANISHED


 Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 3-(UP)- All threat of 6 strike in Haverhill shoe factories apparently had van- ished today. The waIkout was called for yesterday by the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union after manufacturers employing about 5000 workers refused to renew coil- tracts with that organization and signed with a rival union, the Boot and Shoe Workers. State and local police guarded factories yesterday but picketing was abandoned at noon. Virtually 100 per cent of the operatives remained at their benches. The United Shoe has called a series of meetings of former mem- bers who now are enrolled in the Boot and Shoe Workers Union.

 Organized Tn '03
 Court Welch was instituted in August 10th, 1893. Court Champlain is beginning its 35th year of activ- tty having been organized on June 9th, 1901, with 38 charter members William Kleinecke, who was then grand financial secretary of the state court, aided in organizing the local group and the first meeting was held at the French Canadian institute in the Jones-M Morgan building on Bank street. At the end of the first year there were 90 members and the second year there were 120 members. After fire des- troyed the Bank street club rooms the court moved to Fraternity hall which was over the J. J. Johnson store on Bank street. The fire des- troyed the original charter but a new one was obtained and 1t Is now on display at Foresters' hall, 34 North Main street. After a few years the French population start. ed settling in the southern part oi the city so the court moved to the old French church hall. In con. junction with other local French societies, Court Champlain pur- chased Franco American hall or South Main street and moved into the quarters in 1912, remaining there until two years ago when they moved into Foresters' hall.
 Active Members
 Nine active members are left ot the original 30 charter members oi Court ChaInnlain. They are, J. J IArchambault; Oscar Bernier, Loui. Bernier. Ernest Blais, Ralph L |Brandeley, the first chief ranger oi the court, Arthur J. Loiselle, On esime Pronovost, pr. L. J. Thibault and Ferdinand Guilbault. At the present time there are almost 200 members in the court. Since its or. ganization the court has spent over $l00000 in relieving its sick and distressed members. In spite of this enormous expenditure it has the largest treasury of any court ir Connecticut, $12.000.
 Louis P. Brandeley of Court Champlain is the youngest mar ever to be grand chief ranger oi Connecticut.

Constable Had To Serue Diporce Writ On Sor,

mumbled, "my son -- my daughter-".
 The court granted the decree on grounds of cruelty. The plaintiff testified her husband destroyed her clothing because he thought it too immodest, she explaining it was just the ordin- ary style for women She testi- fled further her husband once declared before her and his own mother that he loved another woman more than his own wife. She said she believed 1t a joke when he told her he was going around with another woman, but found 1t to be "tOO true".
 After Judge Peasley granted the decree the plaintiff walked to the spectators seats where Constable Bassett was seated and they embraced affec- tionately, both breaking into tears.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-03

The unusual situation of a constable having served a di- vorce writ upon his own son was presented to Judge Fred erick M. Peasley as he was about to hear the issues of the case of Mercedes M. Bassett of Waterbury against Milton w. Bassett, of Stratford, in superior court today.
 The constable, William K. Bassett, had to appear in court because of 8 technical flaw on his filing return on the writ to court. It was developed by Attorney John T. Monzani, coun- sel for Mrs. Bassett, that the constable was the only available court officer to serve the divorce complaint, but the attorney said he did not know at the time the action was brought there was any connection between the names.
 The Constable broke down on the witness stand and cried audibly when he was being questioned by Judge Peasley as to whether he thought there could be any reconciliation be- tween his son and daughter-in- law. The man shook his head and then burst into tears as he

NO COMMENT HERE l BY MISS LORD
Stamford Educator Advis- ed Teachers to Enter
 Politics

Miss E,sisy Lord, president of the State Teachers association and oi the Waterbury Teachers association declined to comment today on the statement published this morning in which Leon o. Staples, superin- tendent of Stamford schools, urged educators of Connecticut to enter politics. Miss Lord said she was not well enough informed on the sub- ject to venture an opinion. She said she had not read the statement credited to Mir. Staples.
 The Stamford superintendent, who spoke at the annual conference of the board of education and superin- tendentS of school in New Britain yesterday, was quoted as follows:
 We must go into politics and through party caucuses make known our stand for education. We must be @ political factor"
 Other developments of import ance at the conference included Q suggestion by Superintendent Carl Maddox of Milford that Q personal income tax or sales tax be levied in the state to finance a school equalization plan and a discussion of the teachers retirement fund situation.
 The proposal for a special tax with the proceeds to be earmarked for Q school equalization grant caused considerable comment. MT Maddox said he favored @ definite proposal of some means of raising necessary funds and that any tax would not have to be great to raise two million dollars needed for equalization.
 The conference was continued at New Britain today. Dr. Thomas J, Condon, superintendent of schools is representing Waterbury.
