PAGE TWO pan ..? I Interesting !> Reported I By M. K. DUX NAG AN (Special Correspondent) Raleigh, N. C.?World War veterans are expected to figure more prominently in the political arena and in the higher brackets in the next few years than they have in the past. These veterans have been content, so far, with secondary po3ts in 'he State and national government, largely. such as those of commissioner ol labor, insurance commissioner, lieutenant governor, and lesser execuitve posts, a few Superior Court judges and district solicitors ami legislative jobs. But the predictions are now dial they wiil craw! higher and seek more prominent places. The assertion is made that the east wili certainly trot out a former service man to oppose Senator Josiah W Bailey two years from now. The most likely candidate is Henry Stevens, Warsaw, formei State and national commander of the American Legion. It is known that he has such an idea in the back of his head and is laying plans that would not conflict with his becoming a candidate. He will not admit it for publication, but that is the way ho is linking on his ducks. Two other eastern possibilities are mentioned, if for any reason Stevens is not a candidate. They are Harold D. Coolev, prominent young attorney of Nashville, and Judge R. Hunt Parker. Roanoke Rapids. While Stevens would be the logical man from the Legion viewpoint, the others arc available and about in the order named. Legionnaires say. In the western section, the field has not been so thoroughly canvassed, but it is pointed out that Major L. P. McLendon. formerly of Durham, now of Greensboro, is the most logical Legionnaire to oppose Senator R R. Reynolds four years from now. He is not expected to be a candidate for Governor two years hence, but it is assumed that he would not ignore a call to run for the Senate. Also, it is likely that other eligibles will be produced ere the four years is up. At least two of the prospective candidates for Governor are World War veterans, Lieutenant Governor A. H. tSandy) Graham, and Judge Wilson Wariick. and there may be still others who may have a yen for the Blount Street manion. The veterans number two or three of their members in Congress from this State and two or three judges in addition to two or three State officials, but the belief is that they have reached the age now and the assurance to begin to shoot at the topmost branches in the State and national government. Fort Macon to tic Developed Historic old Fort Macon, which for centuries lAis been the site of fortifications guarding the territory of the Carteret County section from attach by Spaniards, pirates and other enemies, is to be developed into what is expected to be one of the greatest recreational attractions in North Carolina under plans of the National Park Service and the State Conservation Department. A CCC camp has been allotted to the project and is expected to be established by April 15tb, with probaoly an advance detachment arriving within a few days. It is not certain, but belief is that the camp now at Stantonsburg will be moved to the UIAIC I'UICOICI J. O. Holmes states. The fort property consists of 112 acres granted to the Slate by act of Congress in 1921, has been administered as a State. Park 3ince that time. To Buiid Thirty-two Roads Probably between $1,000,090 and SI,200,000 will be expended on the 32 read projects which the State Highway and Public Works Commission have prepared and sent to the Bu Sreau of Public Roads, Washington, for approval, and, if approved, or all that are approved, will be included in the letting to be held April 10th. This is about twice as large as any group of roads included in any former letting and is much larger Utan fany other will be under the emergency program. More than half of them have already been approved in Washington and the others, or about all of them, are expected to get approval Roads to be built in this group have a combined length of about 12S miles, of various types, from soil to concrete surfaces, in addition to several bridges and approaches, and some municipal projects only a block or two long. No Watauga County projIcJBil ect3 are '"eluded in the list. Powell Named to Commission Walter H.

Congress passed unanimously by the Senate in the absence of the two North Carolina Senators, to place mail order and out-of-Statc business _firms on the same Kncia with North Carolina mreehants, as it relates to the three per cent sales tax, has come primarily from well-known firms which arc doing the agner.y business in this State in direct competi ! tion with the local merchants. Comj misaicr.er of Revenue A. Maxweil I states, following a visit to Washing| ton. Mr. Maxwell has been informed that i opposition was registered by a few i well-known and much patronized i mail order huses, on the occasion of j [a former visit to WnihinorMn t.?*I -- ? =? i they have not filed opposition recent- J !y, unless they are included in a group i known as Direct Sales Organize tion, j which has filed a protest, along with the Fuller Brush Company and the Real Silk Hosiery Company, with a few others less well known, Mr. Maxwell said. The brush firm has its agents working in North Carolina constantly and getting orders from individuals and firms, sending in the orders and sending the articles ordered by mail or express. The hosiery firm has an! agent or solicitor in almost every town of any size, taking orders and | having the goods sent by man, c. o. d., Mr Maxwell pointed out, saying that these two firms are taking thousands of dollars worth of business out from under the very eyes of local merchanst. They make an office to office and home to home visit and solicit business, he states. Personal Prnnertu - -?

Since acidic ammonium compounds are cheaper than the other forms of basic nitrogen, they say, many of the complete fertilizers now sold in this country are distinctly acid-forming. It fi?i iiici years, Lite xoims ot nitrogen used in fertilizers would give a neutral or even a basic mixture. Such fertilizers could be used without danger. There are two methods of counteracting acid. One is to apply limestone directly to the soil. The other is .0 mix a suitable liming material with the fertilizer.
