(By PETER KEEGAN) IT IS AN IRONIC Jest that the precedent established by the Wash ington armament conference in re ducing the world's biggest naries now etinds in the way of an international v agreement to limit military aircraft as nrged by the American Legion. That is the real reason why the ad ministratioH cant lead the United States into ? new conference at this time. Thi stumbling block is the fAct that the baids of Hmitdtion in the na val disarmament conference was the "existing strength" maintained by the various powers. That was all right then from the point of view of this country because the United States Navy was on the verge of becoming the biggest and strongest in the en tire world. Our air fleet, however, is one of the smallest, and if "existing strength" eras again accepted as a ba sis of limitation, onr weakness would be universally apparent THERE IS a movement on foot among capital society leaders to get the Prince of Wales, now vacationing incognito in Alberta as Lord Ren frew, to come to Washington before he returns to London. Some of them have a marriageable daughters whom they would like the Prince to meet The Prince has already made one vis it here and be has considerable ac quaintance in diplomatic and official circles. If he should decide to stop over in Washington he probably would be the guest of the President and Mrs. Coolidge at the White House. THE QUESTION of re-building the American Naval Hospital at Yo kohoma, which was destroyed in the earthquake, is up in the air. The Na vy sees no reason why the hospital should be rebuilt, but there is feeling in borne quarters that the United Sta tes should continue to occupy the land which eras turned over to us by the Japanese government about fifty years ago with the stipulation that it always would be used for hospital purposes. A few yean ago the Navy tried to abandon the hospital, but the State Department strenuously object ed. Only one patient was on the rolls at the time of the earthquake. THE GOVERNMENT, through the Secretary of the Interior, haa served plain warning that there Is nothing bat a lot of hard work in sight for world war veterans or any one else who homesteads public land in the Ear West nowadays. The pub He domain has been so reduced in the last decade that Mm remaining hun dred million or so acres are of no fpeat value- except for raising cat tle. Bnt applications by the hundreds continue to reach the Public Land Of fices, indicating that optimism has not been lost from the American char acter. THE SERIOUS ILLNESS of Con gressman Martin Madden of Illinois has caused some delay in drafting the appropriation bills which Congress will pass this winter. Madden was inj the midst of this task when he was stricken with heart disease. Other members of the committee will rush the work, but much of it will require Us personal attention. One of the principal effects of the delay will be the slowing dp of a decision among Republican leaders as to whether there will be enough money in sight to risk passing a soldiers' bonus bill again. A MIDDLE WESTERN Congress man who is too modest to have his name used at this early date informs me that he will put in a bill in the new Congress to make it a crime for any citizen to get sick by over-eating. His idea is that H is just as bad for S man to become intoxicated with food as with liquor and he thinks the Vol stead Act is a precedent for further restrictive legislation. Of course, hs will not get to first base with thii startling prohibition proposal, but H is an indication of the tread of tlx AT PUBLIC AUfcTION HeosbeoU and Kitchen Faraitare On Saturday, October SO, 1923, at half past ten o'clock A. M.. I will of fer sale at public auction my house hold and kitchen furniture, and alsc one buggy and harness. Sale will b? held at the Old M. E. Carter Hom? Place, on Winton-Murfreasboro road t miles from Murfreesboro. This 1st day of October, 192S. (Miss) MARY B. CARTED IM-* (By MRS. A. W. GREENE) Ths am of the passing of thia ex cellent woman will brine oorrow to a hoot of friend* from one end ol North Carolina to tho other. Thia ii literally true, for ahe had litod in many towna and villages in tho etite extending from Roanoke island in the east to Andrew* in the west She apent the last alx years of hei life in Ahoalde. They were busy, fruitful pears, save for the last months of her invalidism. Her life among ha has meant much to the town end community. While w* sorrow at her going .and our hearts ache for the broken fam ily circle, we are grateful for her beautiful and useful life. Mrs. Barker was-a woman of un usual strength of character. Part of this came from a good disposition which was no leas than a gift from God. Then her talent for Music. Part of It came frofU squarely facing and overcoming difficulties, and part Of H teas the result of the growth of grace in her heart. Labor and love, courage and hope, victory and de feat, struggle and trial, service and suffering, deep and abiding faith? all had gone into the making of a character that caused her to stand out conspicuous among her fellows. She has reminded me of birds sing ing at dawn in a cold April rain, of roses blooming in an August drought, of a wind-tossed oak grow ing on the edge of a naked gulley, whose strong roots grappled with a reluctant and receding soil. Far be it from me to scatter care less flowers upon the graves of the dead. It is from the heart I speak as I lay a wreath of immortelles upon the fresh grave of my valuable friend. She was the friend of many, and sought out especially those in need, whether of the body or spirit. Not gold or silver, she gave them, since she had none, but something more precious herself, her time, her talents, the work of her hands. To poor children Mm gave music lessons, to the sick, dainty dishes, to the orphans, clothes, to her friends and neighbors anything that she could do for them. Her devotion and care for her family were notable as were her in dustry and patience. She cherished her friends and voiced her appreciation of them. She loved little children and, truth and sincerity, and hated evil and sham, and was also outspoken against them. But, while she hated sin, her attitude to tiie sinner Was getftl* and sympa thetic. She was interested in ovary agency for community betterment and was always faithful to the work of her church. Prior to her coming here ehe took ? leading pert in the work of the King's Daughters Ana the W. C. T. U. Though there whs no oppostunity for engaging In the organisation work in Ahoaide, their principles were deeply inbedded in her heart and bore fruit while here. Mrs. Barker was especially interested in the enforcement of the prohibition law. She knew all too well the suf fering that the liquor habit brings upon innocent women and children and the havoc that it fabrics in the livee of strong nei When the Idstory of prohibition during these years in Hertford County comes to be written, her name win be recorded among the ex tremely few who tried to do some constructive work along this line in this era of am axing indifference. Her love and seal for missions was known to ail. She believed in the work of organised missions, in mission study and liberal giving with her whole soul. And she backed up her faith with her works. She was a woman of prayer. It Was not my privilege to hear her pray often, but enough to know that she was at home when she approach the throne of grace. I loved to talk to her. Her keen sense of humor, her bright intellect and her varied experience of life were a constant delight. We had many common interest! and some deep things of the heart which we shared together. She, i f loyal Meihddiat and I a loyal Bap i tint, there was hot the slightest tlngr ? of prejudice between us. I know she was traveling the i Earth-to-Heaven road, and I trust i that I am. The fact, that we rode fa ; different vehicles did not matter, i She was laid away on a perfect autumn day. The sun smiled down upon a world for whom nature hat finished her great annual task ant which only awaited man's harvesting The gentle sephyerS whieperec ! "Peace." The skies were nevei ' clearer and in fancy 1 pierced theii ' azure depths and saw my friendi ? wearing the victor's crown. 1 Some day I believe that I shall 1 meet and know her in that land that ' grows nearer and more real as th< years go by, and the friends that have crossed over increase in nam llAl Ml MttWhl in 11ft %iz ?met Mir w?r? w animuu vonDi* nation, and it seemed that no work eould roughen the fineness of her ?kin. A ihrewd mind and a (rank soul looked oat of her eyoe agon a I world of mhn, woman and children whom ahe loved and triad to help. I think the will grow more beautiful still "deer there," aa other pilgrim* scan her footprints on the sand of time and gain new courage for the journey. big poultry Show at suffolk, oct: zs Suffolk, Va., October 4.?Poultry breeders will stage a lively contest for 11050 in cash prises and twelve special prises at the Four County Fair beginning here October 25 atcording to F.
