The President, Mrs. G. P.
Stallworth gaye a splendid
paper which the members ask-
ed to have published.
“There has been some ob-
jection to an organization of
this kind, because its object
is not understood. We want to
study the welfare of the child
in the home, school and com-
munity ; to create a better un-
derstanding between parents
and teachers and secure co-
operation betwen parents and
teachers. /
The parent should be the
connecting link between the
home and the school. There
should be a constant watching
by the parents of all details in
the school and they should be
sure that the school is the very
best that can be had for.their
children. ,
Where the parents and tea-
chers work together in har-
mony the very best of every-
thing is assured for the school.
F*utt and free discussion of
general problems, in a meeting
of parents and teachers, often
solves petty, particular prob-
lems without friction.
Discipline usually becomes
easy when a child realizes
that father, mother and teach-
er are working together and
understand each other.
Her only grandchildren are
the sons and daughters of Mrs.
Geo. Clay of this city.

LITTLE COTTON
BEING GINNED
About fifteen bales of cotton
have been ginned by the local
gins to date. Little hopes are
being entertained for much
ginning in the near future.
Those who have examined
the plant report that the root
of the plant is in poor condi-
tion, none of the feeder roots
being grown. Few squares are
forming and little bloom is in
evidence. However, a good
rain in the near future follow-
ed by dry weather might pro-
duce a good fall crop^ but most
fanners are pessimistic along
that line.
WINDOW DISPLAY
The American Legion has
on exhibition in the window of
B. F. Wiley an interesting dis-
play of relics of the World
War. It consists of German
Austrian, French, English and
American manufacture. The
display is well worthy your
attention.

Bond notice_______ 8.40 social events, and the reform
rowing involved the sum of
$197,114,000. Ihdustrial float-
tations still comprise the bulk
of corporate borrowings. Of
the total capital issues floated
last month $152,708,300 were
in industrial enterprises. Rail-
road financing amounted to
only $17,766,000. For the pre-
sent year to date new invest-
ment offerings aggregated $1,-
612,726,400 as against $2,041,-
060,800 for th esame period of
1920. It is estimated that ab-
out 35 per cent of the forego-
ing figures were used to pay
off maturing obligations.
Maturing obligations for the
month of August will be con-
siderably below tiiose of July.
August maturities are placed
at $85,100,557 as against $355-
275,835 in July when the Chi-
cago, Burlington Quincy Rail-
road's $250*000,000 issue ma-
tured.
The Journal of Commerce
states that bankers are of the
opinion that the volume of new
issues is likely to assume larg-
er proportions id the near fu-
ture on account of the decided
relaxation in monetary condi-
tinos which has lead up to an
extremely active demand for
all high grade investment is-
sues at advancing prices.
