STRIVE FOR CLASS B RATING
The late Dwight Morrow had
this saying, which is often repeated
by his friends: "You can divide all
the members Of the human race into
two classes. There are the Class
A people who get credit for what
other people do, and there are the
Glass B people who do the things
for which the Class 4 folks get the
credit" And he added: IA wise
decision is to try to keep your mem
bership in Class B. You accom-
plish more, and there is much less
competition"
His career contained plenty of
proof hat he took his own medi-
cine. Some of us, who were close to
him during the wal and in his sub
sequent activities as Ambassador to
Mexico and as delegate to the Dis
armament Conference in London,
know how often the dea was Nor

his full approval, to some one with

The yen for popular acclaim is
normal and provides the steam that
turns a lot of wheels. Men will

their wives and children think they

lives as if life were to last forever.
Middle Age is startled by the sud
den loss of friends. Reluctantly
comes the conviction that Nature
makes no exceptions-that what
has happened to the wise and great
of all ages will happen to us.
When this awakening takes place,
some face it frankly, forecast the
probable time remaining, and read
just their habits and thoughts. If
up to that time they have struggled
to save money, they begin to say:

others as they grow older.
The first half of life ought to
be a good stiff battle for every

$~1,O33,278 In Payments

North Carolina farmers have re-
ceived more than $1,033,27s in
cotton price adjustment payments
on their 1885 crop.
Payments up to that amount
had been certified by July 2, said

are certified.
These payments are given grow

times when the average of Us inch
middling cotton was less than II
cents a pound on the ten spot mar
kets of the country.
The payments to each grower
amounts to the difference between
that average price and IL cents q
pound on the day he sold his cot
ton, except hat in no event could
the payments be more than two
cents a pound.
The dean added that the work
of checking and certifying appli.
cations for payments is being car
ried out as rapidly as possible, and
that North Carolina farmers viii
continue to receive their checks .
few days after certification.
He reminded growers who have
not yet applied for cotton adjust.
ment payments that no application.
will be accepted after August IS,
"That is the deadline, and no ex.
teasioa of time will be granted

Payments received in Rowan

raft-PhOenix Plant
Installs New Boiler
Production Has Been on Steady
Increase; Improvement
to Be Big Aid

The Kraft-Phoenix Cheese plant
of this city is installing new fifty
horse power boiler this week. The
installation is under the supervision
of J. A. Weaver.
The local cheese factory has grown
steadily since it was started here
until the old boiler was unable to
take care of the increased produc-
ton. The old boiler, according to
Leverne Johnson, manager of the
plant, will be sent to Hawkinsville,
Ca, where it will be used in new
factory that is being opened.
The new boiler will enable the
factory here to handle twice the
amount of milk that it recently
handled with the old boiler. One in
teresting feature of the boiler is the
smokestack which is sixty feet long
and will project out from the top
of the factory forty-five feet.
Mr.. johnson states that the pro-
duction at the plant for the first four
months of this year was six percent
over that of last year, and that the
total production for last year show
ed forty percent increase over the
year before. He further stated that
the drought this summer has caused
considerable falling off in the
milk supply for the county. Among
other new features at the factory in
stalled recently are scales, filterer,
whey tank, and pastuerizer.

progress administration.
With organization of the new pro-
gram virtually completed by Harry
L. Hopkins orders directing state
WPA administrators to select relief
workers locally and to assume a
larger share of other responsibilities,
the WPA was expected to draw on
the new fund Immediately.
Except for $S5,OOO,OOO earmarked
for the resettlement administration,
the new relief fund will be spent by
the WPA under the Presidents di-
rection.
In contrast to the eight months re-
quired last year to get the present
$4,000 100000 work program under
way, few changes in the relief ad-
ministration were needed in the new
program.
In procedure borrowed from the
old CWA, which Hopkins also di-
rected, however, state and local adj
ministraotrs hereafter not only will
select workers but will decide how
many hours month they must work
and which of the $4,OOO,OOO,OOO worth
of projects already approved but not
begun, will be carried out.

each states quota in jobs and money
out of the 100000 job average to
be provided by WPA during the IL
