"Gaston Means will tell all," reads a headline in our favorite afternoon newspaper. Means al ways did talk too much. The best news in yesterday's issue was the weather news. Glad to see that the weather ' man's prophecy seems to have made good. There are no days of grace in filing your income tax return. If you are liable for this tax and have not filed your return, you had better get busy. Michigan grapes may be as good as or better than those from California, but such is the .power of advertising and asso ciation that it will take a long time for people to learn to think they are, Its sort of tough luck for a North Carolina candidate for Governor to have the same' name as a Washington publish er who is a figure in the oil scandal. Headlines are usually too crowded for. initials. Beaufort County farmers at j Pantego arc planning to erect a sweet potato curing plant. The Advance has never understood why sweet potato storage on a commercial scale has not taken hold in such sweet potato coun ties as Camden and Currituck. Many n bridgegroom, sensing .What was in store for him at a Rotary luncheon on his wed ding day, would have lost his nerve and have been unavoidab ly detained or otherwise pre vented from attending the func tion. But Marshall Jone* al ways was a (food sport. The post of chief of police at Thomasvillc seems to be n dan gerous one. One chief there not killed and here's another killing a woman. And what with Dr. Peacock escaping and all Thom asville hardly has time to get through talking at>out one mur der before it has another on fts hands. Readers of the David Law rence story of Woodrow Wilson will no doubt be interested in the announcement in this issue that a life of Woodrow Wilson i by Josephus Daniels is to be off the press soon. On the School News page one may learn how he may obtain a copy of the new book free. If you fail to receive your! copy of The Advance when your; neighbors get theirs please call the office promptly. VVe have a | special carrier for subscribers failing to get their paper who! | remains on duty for about aiij | hour af'er the last carrier isj out. i School news strikes us as J ! showing some improvement this week. Thomas Johnson's story I on baseball prospects this seas-' on is a notable example of real reporting. Throughout the term' serious editorial work has been, attempted but the editors have evidently had trouble in getting the reporters to take a real in terest in the school paper. Many of the reporters have not learned to distinguish between ! news and editorial matter.

N. C.. March 15. ? ! Tin- farmers of Pantego section are. full of enthusiasm and right on the job. Thursday night an organiza-j tion meeting was held at Pantego of th^ growers of sweet potatoes ? for the purpose of building storai:**, warehouses and enough stock was subscribed by those present to as-] sure the building of a storage house, to cure 10.000 bushels. Those pre-j sent at the meeting were most en thusiastic and in o.der to help push things along on all lines a farmers! club was completed with the follow ing officers: George E. Ricks, chairman; Her bert Jones, vice chairman; P. If. Johnson, secretary-treasurer. A canvass of the growers not pres ent will be made at once to get ad ditional stock for the storage house also to get other farmers to plant! potatoes. County Agent F. W. Risher was present and gave the farmers the' benefit of his advice and said that1 he would be glad to help the organ- j izatlon to function in every possible i wav. JJTTIJS WASHINGTON IS HAVING OILY DREAMS Washington. N. C. March 15. ? Word has been received from Mr. Hanks, the oil expert, that the first well to he put down to find oil in commercial quantity will be com menced about May 1, near Have lock. Craven county. Mr. Ranks Is confident that there is oil in Beau fort county as well as In Craven cou nty and the drilling of this well will bo watched with interest by all who| are anxious to see the resources of. our county developed. The drill used will be known as the core drill, as this will enable the engineers and oil experts to deter mine very closely the trend of the oil stratas as well as the probable extent to which oil may be found. Mr. Banks is quite gratified to know that enough people interested in this development work have by their contributions made this devel opment and exploration work possi ble. In order to carry on the work in a business like way a company ( has been formed and charter secur-j ed, with head offices at New Bern., of which Dr. Armstrong of New Bern. ' is the president. Mr. Banks of Norfolk, a mining engineer and > noted oil expert will have supervis ion of the drilling. He has already! prospected all over this part of Eas- i tern North Carolina and is confident I that we have an oil field here equal to those in Texas. Should his expectations be realiz ed Beaufort county will witness a great change in the next two years and Washington will be the biggest' city in the State. \ Cut out the picture on all four Bides.
