JULY It. 133). SI? COMPLETE GLOBE CIRCLING FLIGHI Alt Marks for Speed Broken as Si?jj I anas ;vt New \ork. Actual Tims Spent in Air 2s Less Titan 1 ivi Days. Receive Riotous Welcome Police Powerless Against Mob tKa! Rushes Field to See Flyers. Roosevelt Field. N. Y.? Cut tiot the round-the world record from al ro ?st 22 day? to little more than j week, Wiley I'ost and .Harold Gait} landed at dusk Wednesday evening (duly 1) on this field they left al dawn on an earth-jyirdlsng: raci against time less than nine days before. Their welcome was so boisterous ;n;u me liyers iieci trio ttous. in neai riotous scenes police struggled to preserve order, arid fist.* were swung ir angry altercations which threatened to develop into a serious disturbance It was dusk before Post and Gatt\ arrived. The western sky was painter in rich pinks as the big white plane came like a giant arrow out of the sunset. At 7:44 p m., E. S. T.. thi flyers first were sighted. Three minutes and a half later, after thrice circling the fieTd with their wing lights glowing against the purple eastern sky. they set the plane lightly down half a mile from the Admin isiration building. Four Days :n Air Elapsed time of the 16,000 utile flight around the world, a flight which famous flyers called the greatest achievement in the history of aviation, was just eight days, fifteen hours and 51 minutes. The previous world girdling record, established by the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin two years ago, was almost 22 days. Post and Gatty. although they took almost nine days to get around the world, spent only four days, 10 hours and eight minutes of this time in the air. Up to the time the flyers arrived, the crowd had seemed small com pavocs to the one that ruined four years age to cheer Lindbergh and lmn*berlain and Byrd on every possible occasion. But besides the approximately 2,000 who stooii in apparent docility within police lines by the administration building, hundreds of others wore scattered among the hangars and along all sides of the field. When the round-the-world plane "Winnie Mae touched the turf, the crowd broke into motion, yelling and whooping. Then it Was realized there were many more than had been estimated. The 150 policemen On duty were powerless before the several thousand enthusiastic witnesses of the completion of aviation's latest achievement. As Post and Galtv climbed from their plane, the mob surged forward, and despite all efforts of police with night sticks plunged out on the field. For a moment the flyers found seclusion in an automobile; but they soon were hauled out and carried shoulder high to the administration M: building. Accorded Welcome Qu the day following" Post and Gatty ooveved ptnhagf the most nerve-racking stretch of their recordsmashing trip around tS globe?the } six miles between the Battery and 46th Street. With such fierce-sounding place? as Blagoveshchensk. Khabarovsk and Noyosihiksk behind, they faced the showers of ticker tap oand confetti, f screaming sirens and boat whistles, hurrahs of thousands, and the curious stares of lines of humanity that framed their way up Broadway and Fifth Avenue; Only the Winnie. Mae herself, sturdy maid of the world skies, had a chance to take the day quietly. & She stood in her Roosevelt Field hangar. into which she had been rolled when the world-rounding flight ended. She could have started and done it all over again, mechanics said. After the parade up Broadway to City Hall, the gallant birrimen were presented scrolls and medals by Mayor Walker. Since that time they have been entertained at the White House by President and Mrs. Hoover. CHERRY PICKIN' TIME In early May the cherry bloom Was lovely for a time, ^ Hut wo were lookin' forward To cherry pickir.' time. Ami when the fruit began to turn, The small boys stood in iine; To guess and bet how Ions; 'twould be Till cherry pickiu' time. At last, they're ripe, upon the tree, Abundant, rich and fine; And everybody's happy now It's cherry pickin' t>me. You hear a lot of cannin' "fuss" (Wife's good along that line), She fixes things for winter, In cherry pickin* time. Don't notice if the boys get soiled, Shins skinned, clothe;, ripped behind? Just let the children eat their fill. It's cherry pickin' time. The old and young come forth to eat And on many a bosom fine, A spotless shirt gets soiled with juice In cherry pickin' time. So if yon crave the ruby fruit Just pick your tree and climb; The rich and poor have equal rights In cherry pickin' time. ?S. M. H. <% " r~"? Round the W< i !

Hopelessly beaten and out on his feet, Stribling was a pitiful figure as he staggered to his corner. It was j the first time in his career of 277 jbouts Stribling had ever been knocked out. With the last round almost over. Schmeling floored Stribling with a short light to the chin. Stribling dropped to the floor and was hardly able to stagger to his feet at nine. Schmeling rushed in to finish the ! challenger and hit him at will with both fists. A short left hook knocked Sl'riblir.g's mouth-piece out of his mouth. Then a right to the head almost put the Georgian down again. After two minutes and forty-six seconds in the last round. Referee Blake stepped between them and raised Sehmeling's hand in victory. Bleeding from the nose, mouth and cuts above both eyes, Stribling was unable to find his way to his corner.

Mites and Lice Hinder the Profits of Poultry Young poultry will not grow as ! well and mature hens will not pro| duce eggs as they should when mites j and fice prey upon them. ! "The alert poultryman will watch his Hock carefully with the advent of hot summer weather to keep lice and mites under control." says C. F. Parnsh, extension poultryman at State College. "Unless these two common external parasites are kept in check, poultry profits will suffer. Lice are different from mites in that they remain on the body of the bird at all times and any treatment given rausi take this into consideration. Mites doViot remain on the birds at | all times but stay on the perch poles and in cracks of the poultry house during the day. preying upon the birds at night." I Dusting with sodium fluoride or I some commercial preparation made up for the purpose is one method of j control for lice, Mr. Parrish says. He also recommends dipping in a solution of sodium fluoride. Mercurial i ointment mixed with equal parts ofj vaseline is effective in eradicating large body lice. Nicotine sulphate is I | a more recent discovery and is effective in eradicating lice. This material readily volatilizes and the fumes kill the lice. Any method used must be repeated in about fourteen] days to kill the new lice hatched from "eggs. In eradicating mites, Mr. Parrish recommends removing the perch poles ahd supports, cleaning them thoroughly and cleaning the dropping boards. Nicotine sulphate may be used effectively, but a more common treatment is to use etpial parts of kerosene and old cylinder oil. Apply this mixture liberally to the perch poles, supports, walls and dropping boards. A few applications during the summec will completely eradicate the mites. Ninety per cent, of the acreage growing Irish potatoes in Carteret County this spring is being planted to late sweet potatoes of the Porto Rico variety. Columbus County tobacco growers | are pulling off and throwing away the ground leaves of their tobacco to get rid of low quality material.

"The principle involved in the- use of the aii-cooied storage house is that fresh cooi air comes into rhe building at night at the lowest part : ? the building and forces the warm air out through ventilators built in the roof.'* says H. R. Xiswor.ger, extension horticulturist at State College. "This, type of house has been built by many apple growers in Western North Carolina arid helps them to get about 50 cents to one dollar more a bushel for their fruit."

The more juicy varieties such as the Stayman can be held un'tii the first of the year while varieties like the Delicious and Bonum i will keep only a few weeks. These j two latter varieties mature c-arlytfand the night air is not cool enough to i lower the temperature sufficiently lor best storage conditions.

LONDON* IS LARGEST CITY London.?This still is the lafgest city in the world, and easily so. Census figures, made public Tuesday, proved it. In London and the ''outer ring" there are S,202,818 residents. Greater New York, runner up in size, has 6,981,917. That puts London 1,220,901 to the good. New York, however, is taking on new residents at a faster rate than London. The American metropolis added 1,361,869 during the last ten years. London's increase in that period was 822,619. The census, taken April 26, showed Great Britain more populous than ever before. The total is 1 <1,790,485. Democrat Ads. Provide a Sbort-Cut to Better Business. VERY THURSDAY?BOONE, N.
