26 DIFFERENT CROPS
WORTH MILLION EACH
Thirteen Crops Worth $10,000,000
And Two Worth .$100,000,000
Each.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Oct. 10.: —The farmers of
North Carolina in 1926 produced 20
different crops, each having a value
of more than $1,000,000, and 13 of
these crops had a value of more than
$10,000,000, while two crops—cotton
and tobacco—were valued at-almost
$100,000,000 each, according to the
last edition of the Farm Forecaster,
published by the State Department of
Agriculture.
Citing these figures, the article went
on to say that the farmers of North
Carolina can diversify their crops, and
that they are doing it more and more,
with the result that they are increas
ing the crop opportunities in the'
state each year.
“Farmers in almost any part of the
state have a choice of more than 30
crops from which they can select what
they will grow in any one year,” the
article says, “thus offering an almost
endless variety of things that may be
grown, and all of them offering a
good income.
“With this opportunity, there is no
requirement for any of the farmers
in the state to continue to grow any
particular or unprofitable crop.
“There are trucking areas north
of Albemarle sound and extending
southward, where from two to four
corps may be and are being grown
in a single season, and on the same
acreage.”
These figures 6how, according to W.
A. Graham, Commissioner of Agricul
ture, that the farmers of the state
are more and more seeing the wisdom
of diversification, and that they are
coming less and less to rely on just
a few crops to produce the bulk of
their farm income.
“The farmers have already seen the
necessity of an all-the-year-round farm
income, and are rapidly moulding their
crops and livestock production so that
they may be assured of a cash return
every month in the year,” Mr. Gra
ham said. f

FEAR MORE DEAD BODIES
IN KIMBERLY WRECKAGE
Five of 29 Men Caught In Collapse of
Paper Mill Are Still Unaccounted
For.
Appleton, Wis., Oct. 8.—04*) —The
unexplained collapse of the Kimber
ly Clark paper mill at Kimberly, near
here yesterday, which cost the lives
of at least six persona may have a
larger death list when work of clear
ing the wreckage of twisted steel and
fallen brick is finished.
• Five of tb« 29 who wera caught in
the collapse were still unaccounted
for, after an all-night search by 900
fellow workmen, laboring under the
glare of flood lights. Company officials
held little hope that they would be
found alive.
Three men were taken from the
ruins alive last night. The men said
they feared they might not be reached
before death came from exhaustion
but they “felt fine” and were unin
jured.

a minimum of two years and a maxi
mum of three years, to a minimum of
18 months and a maximum of 24

THE COTTON MARKET.
Opened Easy Today at Decline of 25
To 35 Points Under Liquidation By
Buyers.
New York, Oct. 10.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened easy today at a
decline of 25 to 35 points under
liquidation by Saturday’s buyers who
appeared to be disappointed over the
showing of Liverpool and who may
also have been influenced by more
favorable weather in the South.
Covering or commission house and
trade buying on the bullish view of
Saturday’s government crop report
was supplied around the opening
prices, and the market soon showed
net losses of 53 to 62 points,- Decem
ber selling off to 20.85 and March to
21.15. There was a little more buying
at this reaction, and after initial sell
ing orders had been absorbed, prices
rallied 15 to 20 points from the lowest
on covering, but the market had rather
an unsettled appearance at the end
of the first hour. r
The early decline carried the mar
ket off to 20.77 for December and
21.10 for March, or about 65 to 70
points below Saturday’s closing quo
tations and the case of December con
tracts 103 points below the high price
touched after publication of the gov
ernment crop report on Saturday.
The volume of offerings attributed
largely to liquidation of contracts car
ried over rteccnt declines or bought on
the advance of Saturday morning tap
ered off at these figures, and trading
became comparatively quiet with the
tone a shade steadier on covering.
At midday December was selling
around 20.88.
Cotton futures opened easy : October
20.99; December 21.17; January
21.17 March 21.40; May 21.57.

Wreckage Found Along Route nos
Redfern Flight.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 8- —Captain G.
A- Patterson, of the Nelson' Line
steamer Buffalo Bridge, reported to
the hydrographic office here today
that on October 2 he passed wreck
age, apparently that of an airplane,
about 48 miles east, southeast or
Guantanamo, Cuba.
The exact position was given as
latitude 74.35 nocth and longitude
19 :35 west.
In reporting the wreckage, Captain
Patterson did so in the belief that it
might have been the plane in which
Paul Redfern, Georgia flier, recently
attempted to fly from Brunswick Ga.,
to South America.

New York, Oct. 10.— UP)— New
York’s fourth bombing within four
months which killed five persons and
injured eleven others has left in the
ruins of a West Side tenement house
evidence of what police called another
bomb factory. '
The entire personnel of the bomb
and homicide squads of the police de
partment today was searching for two
young men who authorities believe
carried on a systematic manufacture
of explosive in a room of a West 35th'
Street tenement, destroyed in the lat
est blast Saturday.
A bomb found intact in the ruins
of the building, police said, was iden
tical in construction with one found
in the Interborough Subway tunnel
under the East River previous to the
wrecking of two subway stations by
bombs last July. The failure of the
bomb to explode is believed to have
saved the lives of many children in
St. Mary’s free hospital for children
adjoining the wrecked tenement house
in the district known as Hell’s Kitch

New St. James Lutheran Church Dedicate! \ "he
Work of Master at Ceremonies Sunday.
As an emblem of the church’s indel- i
ible confidence in the principles, the i
standards and promises* of God, the
cornerstone of the new Saint James i
Lutheran Church was laid with im
pressive and profound ceremonies Sun- |
day afternoon.
More than 400 Lutherans and their i
friends, including many visitors from <
various sections of the state, attend
ed the beautiful cprnerstone program, <
listening with ' enthusiasm to the
words on the glory of Christianity i
which fell from the lips of prominent :
Lutheran churchmen. The principal 1
speakers were Rev. Dr. H. Brent
Schaeffer, president of Lenoir-Rhyne <
College; and Rev. Dr. J. L. Morgan, i
president of the Luthran Synod of
North Carolina. Rv. L. A. Thomas,
pastor of Saint Jamss, presided over
the program.
Beautiful weather prevailed for the
event, the threatening weather of the
morning giving way to azure skies and
bright sunshine during the early af
ternoon.
The ceremonies began at 3:30
o’clock when the Saint James choir, <
singing “Glorious Things of Thee Are
Spoken”, led processional along
the south side of West Corbin street
to the front of the steel frame and i
upon the temporary floor of the
church auditorium. Following the <
choir were Mr. Thomas, Dr. Schaef
fer, Dr. Morgan, church officers and
members of the building committee.
After the invocation by Mr. Thomas,
the scripture lesson was read, and the
Apostles Creed was in unison
by the assemblage. Then Mr. Thomas
introduced Dr. Schaeffer who imme
diately launched into his starring mes
sage. Greetings from the North Car
olina Synod were brought in the grip
ping address of Dr. Morgan.
With the rendition of the hymn,'
“Christ, Thou Art the Sure Founds- ,
tions,” by the choir, Mr. Thomas of
fered a beautiful prayer, and then the
cornerstone was laid at the northeast,
corner of fche building, Dr. Morgan of
ficiating. The ceremonies were end
ed with another hymn, utterance of i
the Lord’s Prayer by the audience and
thq benediction by Mr. Thomas.
Powerful Message.
In hie brilliant discourse, Dr.
Schaeffer arose to oratorical heights,
so firmly gathering the attention of
the throng that the noise of the traffic
along Union street was forgotten. The
text of his address was taken from
portions of two verses quoted from the
second chapter of Ist Peter, from the
book of ißaiah and the book of
Psalms: “Behold I lay in Zion a chief
cornerstone, elect, precious.” “The

dently runs back through the millen

ginning. “It is remarkable that the
thought and theme of these utter
ances of prophet and psalmist are so
cosely related.
“Isaiah is proclaiming fearlessly the
overthrow of the leaders of his people
who have been dealing in lies through
secret diplomacy, putting their trust
in unrighteous scheming and fraudu
lent methods. His nation was mak
ing lies a refuge, a covenant with
death, an agreement with hell. Such
a building could not endure. The
prophet did not despair. God had
laid in Zion a cornerstone, elect,
precious. Justice was the line!
Righteousness the plummer t
“The psalmist presents - the same
thought,” declared the Lenoir-Rhyne
president. “There were those who
put their trust in men and men’s
promises, forgetting God. The na
tions had set God aside and sought to
destroy His trust, His servant. The
psalmist does not despair. He Is con
fident that the principles, standards
and promises of God, despised and
set at naught, would after all be the
foundation stone of the * abiding
structure which would be built. “The
stone which the builders rejected, the
same was made the head of the cor
ner.’
“Centuries later Peter testified that
the confidence of the psalmist, the
trust of the prophet, have not been
misplaced,” the speaker asserted, “for
God had established in Jesus Christ
the eornrerstone of the great temple
of justice and righteousness among
nations of peace, and good will among
men, of truth and trust, of light and
love and life. The followers of Christ
are the living stones that go to make
that glorious structure.
“We are gathered here to lay the
eornestone of this great church build

most deeply? Not being laid any too
soon? Represents a fine plant to cost
over $100,000? That is will be fine
to posses* and to worship in such a
building? That we are here laying
the foundation for a greater and finer
Christian service. Such thoughts
have a rightful place on this occas
ion.
“I would emphasize the fact today
that the laying of the cornerstone of
this structure to be dedicated to the
worship and work of <iod ; that it be

COST OF OPERATING
COURT ON INCREASE
Figures Are Compiled by Marshall of
Eastern Federal District.
Raleigh, Oct. B.—Cost of operating
United States courts in the 46 counties
comprising the Eastern North Caro
lina Federal Court District is showing
a steady increase, it was learned today
from United States Marshall R. W.
Ward. "
For the quarter ending September
30 last was $124,582.92 as compared
in this district totaled $24,183.30.
Figures just compiled by Marshal
Ward show that the cost of operating
the Federal courts in the Eastern
District for the fiscal year ending June
30 lastw as $124,582.92 as compared
with a cost of $110,328.32 for the
preceding fiscal year.
The figures for the last fiscal year
would probably have been higher had
the courts been allowed to operate
without curtailment, which came about
as the result of Congress failing to
pass the general deficiency bill at the
last session. Funds ran low and court
sessions were curtailed. Thus the
cost was reduced.

Now Your Tires Won’t ;
Wear Out So Quickly
Wilmington, Del., Oct. B.—A new
product designed to prevent deteriora
tion of rubber by airj is announced
by E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and
Company. “Neozone,” the new anti
oxidant, is a product of the program
chemical development in
stituted by the company several years
ago.
Du Pont rubber chemists explained
today that it has long been known that
the deterioration in rubber is due chief
ly to the oxygen of the air, but that
it was not possible to scientifically
study this phenomenon until within
the last few years, when tests were
developed which enabled the chemists
to duplicate by artificial means with
in a few days, the deterioration which
is normally produced over a period of
several years. In one of the most
valuable of these new tests, the rub

co’s military revolt, launched as a
| nationwide uprising, entered its se©*
ond week today, with only one rebel
band of consequence in the field, and
that hunted through the hills of Ves*
Cruz by overwhelming federal force*.
General Francisco Serrano and
many of his supporters have betel
captured and executed under Presfe
dent Calles’ campaign for stern sup
pression of the insurrection. Geo*
eral Arnulfo Gomez, named as tkfi
other chief of the revoult, with Get*
eral Hector Almada, and their little
army of not more than 2,000 met,
are pursuing what the government
says is a forlorn hope.
Gomez and Almada have maneuvet:
ed their slender forces cleverly, avoid?
ing decisive battles with the numerous
federal soldiers —some report* say
000 —seeking them. Military men s*f
it is possible that they may prolong
their activities for months, dividing
their followers into small bands whieb
can evade pursuit in the wild moun
tainous country of central Vera Cruz.
Others believe Gomez and Almada are
seeking to reach the coast and thsa
escape, leaving theirifollowers to dis

Small groups of armed men in oth*r
states have increased their activities,

Not uijitil several hours after bis

Proffitt’s body was recovered last
evening.
Mr. Bass was in .Fayefteville on a

Cuyler in the Dark About His Bench*

New York, Oct. 8. —The man who
should know most about the “Cuyler
case,” discussion of which weighted
all conversation and writing on the
world series, knows less about it
than anyone else, he thinks.
The man is Hazen S. Cuyler, st«
outfielder of the Pittsborgh Pirate*,
who warmed the bench during much
of the season and the whole ot t»«
series, despite the strident yell* Wl
Pittsburgh and New York
demanding that the man who wdfi
two ot the 1925 world series gamM
be given a chance to show his stuffe
Tonight Cuyler, for the first time,
gave his version of the case, and ex
pressed belief that ho had played hla
last game as a pirate.
‘‘No doubt I have been guilty ol
things that might be held against mo,
but I never loafed and I was alwaya
trying to do my best,” he said, **i scuJ

is no extreme bittcrneaß in iqy heart.
I, quite naturally, feel that I should
have been permitted to play, but wire

This produces an extremely rapid
oxidation of the rubber.
Organic chemists have long knows
that the decomposition or oxidatioa
of many chemicals can be prevented
by adding to them a very small pe*
cent age of substances which are knows
as negative catalysts. This knowl
edge when applied to the study oi
