[ Putting the Question
Up to You
1 There is no one who has any real
business telling you what you
1 should do with the money you
earn today. It is a personal
1 matter.
, But just putting it up to you in the
form of a question, “Don’t you
r think it is a pretty good idea to
1 lay aside something in these
r times that will assure you of a
l substantial reserve for the fu

I The choice is yours, to save and
spend as you think best. But we
i believe your answer to this ques
tion will be the same as that of
i thousands of other people today.
I They are saving. They are

A Dabney quarett furnished music
at the morning session, and the Dab
ney branch of the Grange also pro
vided music in the afternocii. Includ
ing Dorsey Glover, H. B. Hicks and
Mrs. W. Y. Swain. Mrs. B. A. Scott,
of Dabney, was on the program for a
talk In the afternoon.
The dinner In the grove was declar
ed one of the best feeds that could
be asked for.
It was decided tnat tne next meet
ing be held at Townsville, the exact
date to be determined later, but to
be in advance of the State Grange
meeting in Greensboro October 5-6.
Committees to arrange for degree
work for local branches and also to
make a canvass of subordinate mem
bers to take the higher degrees were
appointed.
The resolutions adopted at the
meeting are as follows:
As farmers. or otherwise directly in
terested in the business of farming,
we. the Granges of Vance county.
North Carolina, petition the powers
that be for reconstruction of our tax
laws with Integrity of thought, hon
esty of purpose, and sympathetic un
derstanding of the problems to be
solved by those engaged in every line
of endeavor, but especially of those
engaged in farming. We emphasize
the business of farming because it
lies at the foundation of all other
legitimate business in our State. And
because all other business is begin
ning to hotter and fall because the
foundation is being undermined by
rxcessiv levies on the fanners. Also
because this decline in other business
further reacts upon the business of
farming by forcing a heavy decline in
prices of all farm products. We fur
ther emphasize the business of farm
ing because the farmers through love
of their homes, their business as farm
ers and their patriotism, have endured
the burden of these extortionate tax
levies upon their farms and acces
sories beyond the breaking point, and
It Is only a matter of time when thi»
penalty of unjust taxation will destroy
in them love for the soil that gave
them birth, and patriotism will perish.
We ask, therefore,
1. That the tanner and home owner
be allowed to deduct his purchase
money indebtedness upon his farm
and home in submitting his property
for assessment the same as the owner
of intangible property is permitted to
do. This is simple justice, and will go
far toward restoring farms and
homes to their proper dignity and se
curity.
2. We ask tnat the true and actual
value of homes, farms and farm pro
ducts. fixed upon the basis of the pro
per income that may or should be de
rived therefrom, as the controlling
clement in fixing the standard of
valuation for assessments. Income
hould be recognized as the true basis
for taxation. It is nothing less than
conficatory to levy tax that must be
paid from the capital. The destruc
tion of the business of farming has
resulted, in the main, from this unjust
tax upon the farms and homes In ex
cess of the income therefrqfip. Os
course, lands and property
investment should not be accorded

Help-In Canning Program
Is Asked By Mrs. Plummer
Home Agent Also Insists That Fresh Gardens Be Plant
ed Ag Soon as Rain Comes, Just as Though It Were
First Plantings of the Spring Season
By MRS. HATTIE F. PLUMMER
Home Demonstration Agent
Auguaa is always our busiest can
ning month, but, due to the dry
weather, our products to can are
scarce, cur gardens in most instances
have burned up. We must not give
up; as soon as it ra.ns let's every one
plant a new garden, plant just like
It was spring. Then we wili have
plenty to eat until frost, and then
can enough for the winter. We must
kok ahead if we expect to get by
t'his winter.
Now we realize that we will have
little or no mrncney to give to the
needy iihis winter, so we want every
one who can and wiR, to contribute
something to our canning for the
poor. You may say t-hat whht you
have is so little that it- Is not warih
giving, but supipose every one in the
county gave only enough for one or
two cans, thin khow much that wii!
mean.
We want something tflo can and
eume volunteer workers <o help can.
this privilege. . .
3. We ask also favorable limitations
of levies upon homes, household
goods, farms and farm products. This
will encourage home owning and ag
riculture. If this cannot be granted
under our present constitution, then
an amendment should be effected as
soon as possible.
4. We ask for suspended sales of
delinquent lands for taxes for a period
of four years, permitting redemptions
during that period by paying taxes
and interests without additional fees.
Surely nothing is gained by selling
land to the State.
5. We ask that secondary road sys
tem be encouraged and furthered as
rapidly as possible, so that farmers
may more easily reach the main thor
oughfares and markets and make life
in the country more attractive.
6. We ask that legislation he enact
ed strengthening the banking laws
so as to give more protection to de
positors and stockholders and to lend
ai dto depositors and stockholeds of
closed banks.
7. To grant these requests and at
the same time provide sufficient tax
money to meet the requirements of
our Federal. State and local govern
ments. we recommend that a thorough
survey of national, State and county
governments be made, and that every
possible elimination and consolidation
be effected.

The Rotary Club is giving us the
co-nj. and ihe Henderson cotton mills
are furnishing the places to can. We
w.ll have seme one at the Curb Mar
ker Wednesday and Thursday of thus
week, and Tuesdays and 1 huraduys
of me lojlowing weeks to get any
thing you may givve. If you can noi
get it to us. tiu- members of the Rot
«v.y Club will send lor li provided it
is enough to send for. I know the be
ginning will not be large, due t othe
u rough,., but let us muke a start and
keep going untli we have put, uip 5000
cnas. We are going to speotiatize on
soup mixture, as we feel Hhat will be
a full meal for a hungry family,
We want com, butter beans, okra and
tomatoes. We shall mix it in pro
poition to whiat we are given. Now
if iome one has a little money to
give to charity, why not buy some ol
the articles from the producer, and
let it be canned for winter use? The
soup mixture sells from 30 to 40 cents
per quart, and we will make money
by canning these things instead of
•selling tibem cheap green or giving
them to >tho needy -now. I do not
mean we wtiil make actual money,
but money saved is money made. Tne
question arises that, so many get help
who do not need it or are undeoerv
.ng. That may be *tTue as no organ
isation is perfect, and no matter hoW i
hard they try to prevent it. some will
get by you. The Bible tells us, “It
is more blessed <U> give than to re
ceive. "and if we do qur piart in the
right spirit we shall be rewarded.
The cans given after being filled will
be stored and turned ovre to those
disrtributing charity for use as needed.
Our part is irto get it given and can
ned, then we will have nothing fur
ther to do with iit.
Now do no forgot as soon as it
rains to get buoy and just as if
we had not planted a spring garden.
We can raise food and lets do it. If
we have no money, let us have plenty
of food. Never give up, but feel
iheit- is hope, and we are wilJipg to
press on and do our part.
The Curb Market is being held
three mornings per week, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Theie
you will find fresh vegetables, etc.,
jusd from the garden and farm, they j
are not raised in distant counties and
brought in here on trucks, the money
is spent right here in our own town.

Typhoid In Fowls
Treated In County,
Also Chickenpox
Typhoid in chickens has been dis
covered in the eastern part of the
county, and has been the cause of
considerable loss to some farmers, it
was reported today by G. B. Blum,
vocational instructor for the county,
and J. W. Sanders, county farm agent,
who are busy giving inoculations
against the disease. They are also
vaccinating chickens against chicken
pox in places where the disease has
developed.
These contagions among chickens
are not transmitted to humans, but
play havoc with fowls until the
malady is checked.

by Schopenhauer was that this is the
