Chicken Raisers To
Meet Friday Night
^The New Hanover Poultry Producers
Jsisociation will hold its organization
meeting next Friday night at room 124
in the custom house and a large
gathering of poultry fanciers from all
sections of the county is expected.
At the meeting Friday night.a consti
tution and by. laws will be adopted and
a general campaign will be mapped out
so that the poultry raisers in the coun
ty can buy and sell co-operatively and
thereby give to the people of the coun
, ty cheaper poultry and yet realize a
better profit for themselvs. If possible
it is the, plan of the association to buy
poultry feeds in large quantities and
thereby eleminate the profits of the
middleman and in turn cut off this ex
tra price when disposing of the poul
try on the market.
.The organization was started at a
, meeting held in the office of Miss Flor
ence Jeffress February 15, and at that
time those who wer? present were In
terested to a large extent in the propo
sition. At that meeting W. A. Carothers
was appointed temporary Secretary.
At the coming meeting permanent
officers will be elected and the associa-.
tion plans to move forward as rapidly
as is consistent with good buqihess
principles.
A number of ppultry raisers from
Brunswick county are also expected
to be present at the meeting and it Is
thought likely that many who live in
territory adjacent to Wilmington will
join the New Hanover association.

his place of employment Friday .morn

ing a heavy current, became short
circuited, eletrifying a compressed air
circuited, electrifying a compressed air
or else the metal through which he
was drilling.
Rendered unconscious by the shock,
the machinist was sent to the James
Walker Memorial hospital for treat
ment. At the hospital it was found
that Mr. Holland had received an un
usually heavy charge of electricity
and that, he had ueen bruised some
what by the fall which followed the
shock. He was discharged from the
hospital late yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of the occurrence Mr. Hol
land said yesterday that he was not
sure whether he received the shock
through the drill or through the metal
upon which he was working. He says
that he only remembers arriving at the
hospital after the accident. On leaving
the hospital he declared the only bad
effect of the accident which he felt was
a general soreness. •
The accident occurred about 9:30
o’clock Friday morning. At that time
Mr. Holland says, all of a sudden he
received a severe shock, and was
thrown with great -force to the ground.
His fellow workmen rushed to his aid,
cutting off the current, and called for
an ambulance.
Vagrants Must Get
Jobs, Says the Mayor
Mayor, Cowan yesterday addressed a
letter to Chief of,Police Cashwell rela
tive to vagrants in the city, saying
that the fertilizer plants here are in
need of lal^- and there is no reason
for a man not having a job. He point*
out. however, that stevedors, whose
work is irregular, are not to be con
fused with idle persons. The letter
follows:
"It has come to my attention that
the fertilizer factories operating here
are running short of labor, and with
out reason. So please direct your men
to-be especially vigllant.tn enforcment
of the vagrancy law. Plenty of work
for negro common labor now elmi
nates any justification for this class of
laborers loafing in - the city of Wil
mington. I know that you understand
i that there are certain stevedores who
may not be able to work the entire
week, by reason of character of their
work, due to the coming and going-of
ships. However, there are many others
who now, in view of the fact that vyork
is obtainable, must be classed as va
grants and are therefore subject to ar
rest. Please see that this order is car
ried out without delay.”

Style, No. 16 First; Jimmie
Metts Is Hero.

a splendid record by Odls B. Hinnant,
local* scout commissio'ner.
Once each year 'the general mobili
zation call is^sounded, but ‘on a day
and hour unknown to the scouts. They
have, however, received instructions to
mobilize at the Y. M. C. A., at any hour,
day or night, on hearing the call, Bast
night Charles E. Taylor, banker, and D.
R. Foster, real estate dealer, were at
the association building to Judge-the
records made by the various troops.
Four prizes- were awarded last night
to. the troops mobilizing the greatest
percentage of their membership In the
quickest time. First prize went to
troop No. 16; second to troop No. 1;
third to troop No. 11, and fourth to
troop No. 13. ■ . J
The records of the prize winning
troops were: troop No. 16.'of tlie First
Baptist church, 91 Vper cent, of their
membership In 26 minutes: troop No. 1,
of the Y. M. C. A., 75 per cent, of their
membership in 27% minutes; troop No.

minutes; troop • No': 13, of Stf. James’

ket streets, to the Y. M. C. A., and had
reported within one and three-quarter
minutes after the mobilization call had

Rotary Boys’ Club On ...
Hike Down the River
Thirty-five members of the Rotary
Boys’ club of the T. M. G. A., last w.eek
enjoyed a hike to the Cliffs; three
miles down Cape Fear river, arriving
there about 11 o’clock. Earl Bender
and William Simon were captains of
the two baseball teamers which played
a very interesting game. The score
was 9 to 8 in favor of the Bepderites.
After the game the boys built fires
and cooked their dinner, wtich was
eaten under the big trees on the river
bank. As soon as they had rested for
a while two volley ball teams were
chosen with Napoleon Owens and C. D.
Bender captains. A series of three
games were played, each of Which was
won by Captain Bender’s team. The
hikers returned to the city about 6
p. m. T. Aubrey Morse, boys’ ‘club
secretary, was in charge of the party.
CONFUSION OF COMMUNICATIONS.
A misunderstanding and confusion of
unsigned communications addressed to
the Morning Star resulted in one ap
pearing in Friday’s paper concerning
Wfightsville Beach elections which
was credited to John A. Divine. It was
a criticism of the administration of the
town of Wrightsville Beach and was
answered in Saturday’s paper by R. H.
Northrop .clerk to the mayor and board
of aldermen. '■
Mr. Divine was not the 'author of
this article, but of another which was
misplaced and failed to r£ach the prop
er source for insertion. The'confus'ion
is regretted, but the Star is gratified to
know' that the mislhke has caused no
ill-feeling between Mr. Northrop and
Mr. Divine.

was formed In New York in 1918 to un
dertake work of reconstruction and re
lief in the war torn areas of Europe,
apd to bring Into closer co-operation
the Lutheran bodies of this country,
Dr. Pannkoke was one of the moving
factors, and was in some measure re
sponsible for its successful beginnings^
During four years the council has dis
tributed aid; to 22 countries of Europe
to the extent of 2,500,000 pounds of
clothing .and more than 12,000,000 in
