Republicans Have $ig
Time And Nominated
County Ticket
0 A large and enthusiastic Re
publican convention was held at
Bayboro in Pamlico county last
week. The principal object of
the meeting was to put a :ounty
ticket in the field. The county
candidates were chosen and it
was the opinion of many who at
tended the convention that it was
a strong ticket and one- that
would sweep the field next Nov
ember. The Republican nomi
nee for Congress Richard L. Her
ring of Clinton was present and
made a strong speech going into
the issues of the campaign with
a thoroughness that was convinc
ing to his hearers.
C. R. Wheatley of Beaufort ad
dressed the convention and great
ly pleased the Crowd with a red
hot Republican speech. W. B.
Rouse of New Bern also spoke
on the League of Nations and
closed with an announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Congress. W. G.
Mebane spoke on the need of
two political parties in the South
ern States. A fine picnic dinner
was served on the grounds and
this added greatly to the pleasure"
of the occasion. A large num
ber of ladies were present at the
convention and seemed to be as
much interested in it as the-men.
Those who attended from Car
teret county were Judge K. J.
Respess,C. R. Wheatley, W. G.
Mebane of Beaufort, T. W. Nel
son of Atlantic, and Samuel Lilly
of Morehead City. J. S. Bas
night a Republican war horse of
Craven was on hand and was al
so W. H. Waters of Dover.
Special Offer
For the sum of 75 cents we
will send the Beaufort News to
any new subscriber from now
till January the first. The same
rate will apply to any old sub
scriptions that run out this
month or next. If you wish to
take advantage of this offer act
quickly.
Potatoes Look Good
Owing to heavy rains in Feb
ruary and March, potatoes were
planted a little later this year
than last and in some instances
the stand was rather poor. A
larger acreage was,puin though
and this will probably offset the.
bad conditions. At present .po
tatoes are looking good and the
prospects seem favorable for a
pretty large crop. There ouht
to be fifty thousand barrels ship
ped from this point thw year.
Digging will probably commence
in about two weeks.

MODEL PLANS M XT
pB TESTED BEFORBt:
ACTUAL FLIGHT IS MADE,
Here ace some bits of advipe
for model plane builders and
flyers, written by H. C. Ellis, an
expert on such things, for the
Everyday Engineering; Maga-'
sines -.
- To test the
model, firstwind
itsmotor up about half the num
ber of revolutions ordinnrily
used and then launch from the
hand against the wind.
If the model exhibits a ten
dency to dive. It shows that it
Is head heavy; that Is to say,
Mhere Is not enough lift in front. -
This Is easily corrected by slid
ing the main plane forward to
Increase the lift in front.
If, on the other hand the
model climbs too much. It shows
hat it Is tail heavy, in 'which
case just the reverse procedure
is used I. e., shifting the main
plane back to increase the lift
In the back. ,
If the model tips over side
ways, either to the right or left.
It Is probably due to thejorque
or twisting tendency of the pro
peller or faulty alignment of
the main planes, tail-plane or
rudder, or, In the case of a dou
ble propeller machine, one pro
peller being wound up more
than the other. This cannot be
the fault If a double Winder Is
used, as both propellers are
turned the same number of rev
olutions. To correct this tipping and
swerving sideways It Is only
necessary to Increase the angle
of the main plane on the side
that the model tips over, or
swerve. This Is done by bend
ing the rear corner of the low
wing down and bending the rear
corner of the opposite wing up
ward a bit. This corresponds
to warping the planes In a large
machine. Adjust rudder to turn
tnachlue to the other side.

Efforts Being Matie Tc
Straighten Out Road";
MatterfcSM
Two highway engineers were
in the county vesterday taking a
look at the roads of the county
with the view of helping to
straighten out the tangle which
the county has gotten into about
the matter of building the coun
ty's link in the Central Highway.
They were w, L, Spoon represent
ing the Federal Government and
R, E, Snowden of the State High
way commission, They left
vew Bern yesterday morning in
a car and inspected the roads
both in Craven and Carteret
counties.
The road jnenwould not com
mit themselves as to what they
thought ought to be done but
did say that it was a bad plan for
the people to get into a wrangle
about where the road should be
built as this would probably re-

BIG PART OF TREE WASTED
;Why Turning the Forests of the Coun-
; try Into Lumbar Involves Great
Loss of Material.
How ninny of us realize .the appal
ling wastefulness which Is practiced
In our Inroad upon oi)r timber lamisT
It Is authoritatively declared that In
taming the forest tree Into lumber and
then Into the flnished products, the
original wood Is subjected to greater
losses than any other Important raw
material, R. O. Skerrett writes In the
Scientific American. Remember, wa
cut down every year now fully 40,(K)0.
OdO feet of timber, amd the wastage la
men- that only 320 fOet of marketable
lumber Is obtained on an average from
each 1, oral feet cut In the forest
Tele the long-leaf pine for example.
Instead of sacrificing two-thirds of the
tree, as Is now done, that particular ;
branch if the lumber Industry could ;
bo made to fnmtfh ua dally from the 1
discarded material qalte 40.000 tone of
paper, sjjuu tona or resin, cw.oun (al
low of ethyl alcohol and 300,000 gal-Wia-cf
turpentine.
Why Weeping Alda Cyoe.
Tears are provided 'or washing the
ball-of your eyes. Kery time you
wink a little tear Is released from un
der the eyelid, and the wink spreads
it all over the eyeball. This washea
down the front of the eyeball and
cleanses It of all dust and other thlny
that fly at the eye from the air. Then
the tear runs along a little channel.
