QUALITY OF COTTON

Samples Already Classed
Bear Out Contention Co
OPP Manager Says

Raleigh, Oct. 15.-The quality of
the North Carolina cotton crop is
surprisingly good this year, accord
ing to statement made by M. G..
Mann, general manager of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association. Mr. Mann quoted figures
from a statement recently sent out
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, and he also said that the
samples classed to October 1 show
that SO percent of the cotton stapled
1916 inch and longer, and that 85.2
percent graded middling and better.
"These figures are right in line with
the percentage of the cotton being re-
ceived by the Association, grading
middling and above and stapling 1915
inch and longer. The premiums which
the farmers are receiving this year
when they sell their cotton on grade
and staple basis are the highest that
they have received in many years, if
ever before" Mr.. Mann said.

NAVY DAY HONORS
TEDDY ROOSEVELT
Coming In October, Also
Marks Month in Which
Navy Was Founded

Navy Day was inaugurated in 1877
by the Navy League of the United
States and it's observance is sponsor
ed annually by the League. 1t is the
day set aside fourteen years ago by
Presidential Proclamation and is the
day the Navy is at home to the pub
lie.
October 9th was selected because
it is the anniversary of the birth Of
President Theodore Roosevelt, so
much of whose life was devoted to
establishing a sound naval policy for
the United States of America. 1t will
be remembered that President Roose-
welt first achieved a national reputa-
ton by writing a naval history of the
War of 1872, a work of such merit
that it was incorporated into Cloves
Royal Navy, a monumental history of
the British Sea Service. Later, as AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy, and
finally as President, Roosevelt bent
his tremendous energies to impress
upon the American people the neces-
sity for an adequate Navy, and en-
deavored through his leadership to
realize this ideal.
the American Navy was founded in
ITS by the Continental Congress.
In addition to paying a deserved
tribute to the sea heroes of the Ma
ton and recalling the splendid part
the Navy has played in making and
keeping us Nation, the Navy Day
Observance has proved a valuable
means of fostering a better under
standing of the Navy and it's work
Such information, in a country where
government is by public opinion, is
essential to the formation of correct
judgements affecting naval policy
and in this work of information the
Navy Day Observance has played a
considerable part.
With the cooperation of the radio
broadcasting industry, the press, and
the motion pictures and with the
participation of the Navy and other
governmental agencies, as we'll as the
American Legion, the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and other pat
riotic societies, Navy Day has develop
/ ed into day of serious thought on
the subject of reasonable naval de-
