Hoursi a. at. ..-'. sa. . lis Raleigh, Deo. 1 North Carolina has made such great progress agricultural development this year mat it is "assured of fifth rank, Dexter, in crop values," and its con trlbutlon In taxes to the national treasury Is remarkably high," Frank A. Parker, agricultural statistician of th state and federal departments of agriculture, declared today In pre dieting greater progress will be made nere in 1823. . "This state has been called (he 'tryout state' of the union. ,It meant that anything that would succeed here would do so anywhere." he said. "This being the testing area, others must wake up, for the Tar Heel stat realises Its backwardness, and not asking help of any one, Is strlkln out for itself. "Who would have dreamed of this unpretentious state, with Its back ward farming and business method attaining the enviable rank it now holds In value of crops, manufactur les and revenue among the states o me nation? "Even though tobacco and cotto are largely responsible, there something back of It all which shou not be overlooked. This state has' the largest percentage of native American and Anglo-Saxon blood of an. sns has had the least conflict between capital and labor, or perhaps in railroad strikes and manhfactur Ing curtailment. Whatever the main reason, the situation today Indicates that North Carolina, In aa economlo sense. Is fairly sound as compared with other states. Trade early be came aotlve here.. Failures have been much fewer than for the ;ire ceding two years. "Even though agricultural product declined faster and further than others and even though they have been slower to start In the recovery cycle, yet the farmers still are on the Job. There has been no strike. Their dollar of wages had to compete with the urban two or three dollar scale. This meant thst farm famine: Including women and children, had to produce the food which some in dustrial striker lived on while shirk ing the national responsibility getting back to normal, as the unor ganlzed but far more loyal farmers had to do and did the right way. "The few farmers who have kept tnelr heads above the expense flood. are slowly recovering from the jhock hut many will never get well. The surprising part of It all Is that th urban business men have rarely ye't realised that the farmers welfare 1 always a barometer to their pros perity. "If they would only Invest more generally in. practical means of bet terlng the farming Interests, they would butter their own bread, thu: helping both sides. "The start Is made; the movement la on. Let us all join In to hasten the exchange of more products and money,' he stated. ' PLAY IS PRESENTED AT ELON COLLEGE "Driftwood" Pleasingly Rendered by Phllologlan Society Many Visitors at Elon. J.

This Is the first time a play written by an Elon student was ever produced here, and It was a decided hit, because of the excellence of the production Itself and because It rep resented, local talent throughout. The many friends of Mr. Bray are warm in their congratulations for his sue cess In the realm of drama. "Driftwood Is the name of Mr. Bray's drama of four acts, and was written especially for this occasion It was a love story with a mystery running through It, and the plot un wound with a vim when It got started In the fourth act. - Many visitors, alumni, former stu dents, and friends of the college and of the Phllologlan society were on the mil and the college auditorium was packed to its capacity for the en1 tertalnment, every bit of available standing room being taken, and manv turning away because event standing room could not be had by those ar riving late.

Kinston News Dealers Agree to "Can" Certain Literature tapKiii i. tun, . Kinston, Dec. 1. The "canning" of obscene and "trifling'' Juvenile litera ture by local news dealers was an nounced today by the Ht-Y club of Uralngor high school, comprised prin cipally by youth of the upper classes. Among the periodicals banned were "Hog Dog," "Fusj," "Secrets," "Whls Bang" and other magazines of "this type." Members of the club said the point had been reached where "smaller boys and girls were resdlng these magaslnes and ruininft their taste for good literature." This' habit by the knee-pants literati was killing the saje of "the type of magaslnes that they should read," It was point ed out to the new stand men, and they saw the point. Charlie Elling ton,' secretary of the club, said the co-operation of the news dealers had been whole-hearted and 'sympathtlo. The censoring appeared to have been done mostly by the clirb. "We not only think that It will help the .schools, but the community as a whole will prtfNt by this ac tion." the club stated In a letter thanking the news men. "These books were not only In the schools but In the homes aa well.'' MT. AIRY BAPTISTS START NEW CHURCH Cornerstone Laid With Approprl. at Exercises on Thanksgiv ing Day. (BpteUl U Dsllr ldn.1 Mount Airy, Deo. 1. Thanksgiving aay was very quiet hers for the most part Practically all the churches held religious servloes. Dr. Jester, of Winston -Salem, preached at tne first Baptist church at 11 o'clock, His discourse was beautiful In thought and language and breathed manksglvlng for political liberty, church liberty and soul liberty. At the Presbyterian church the pastor, Rev. Z. V. Roberson preached on Thanksgiving and some special music was rendered. Dr. H. K. Boyer, pas tor -of Central Methodist church de nvered a scholarly sermon appro priate to the day. At the Friends church the pastor, Rev. Mr. Oregory deviated from the usual service and had a Thanksgiving program In which five members spoke on differ ent phases of the subject beginning wfth the origin of the day, cause of thanksgiving, time for thanksgiving, to whom, and how may we express our thankfulness. The service which drew the largest crowd and was fraught with the greatest significance was the corner stone laying at the Haymore Baptist church, at 2 p. m. Rev. E. I. Olive of the First Baptist church was mas ter of ceremonies. Some excellent music featured the opening services. J. M. Hill read a hlstorv of the church which was organised in 1912 in the building which had been known as "the mission'' for about four years and was started as a non-denominational mission, and on this date turned over to the Baptist denomina tion. Rev. C. C. Haymore, the first pastor of the church, told something of the growth of the work and- Rev. J. H. Fulghum, the present pastor, spoke with much faith of the future of the church. Dr. Jester, of Winston-Salem, was the main speaker of the occasion and the fine Impression he made at the First Baptist church In the morning was strengthened by his discourse on this occasion. At the close of Dr. Jester's discourse the congregation died out of the building to see the cornerstone laid. The church history read by Mr. Hill, and other historical documents with a Bible were placed In the ston-i. J. Rountree Oillett of London.

STaAR TRAVELS AT VERY RAPID RATEOF SPEED Harvard Observers Find That Planet Moves At 2,500, 000 Miles Per Hour MEASURED IT RECENTLY Infa.t Mies At Liberty. 8prril lo Daily Nrwj Liberty, Dec. 1 Kay. Jr.. the In fant son of Mr. and Mrs. .1 N r.nw died Wednesday at Liberty and was laid to rest Thursday evening In the netnany cnurch cemetery. Cambridge, Mass., Deo. 1, Nearly two and a half million miles per hour, or 1,100 kilometres per second. Is the speedVrecord set by the star RZ cepnei, which, according to a bulletin issued by the Harvard pollege observ atory, has been found by Harvard astronomers to be moving through pace witn a greater velocity than that of any other star whose speed has yet been determined. This star, a variable star of the so called cluster type, has long been known to astronomers, but Its veloc ity was never measured until recent ly. It Is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye, being of the tenth magnitude. It is In the constellation Cepheus, and Is 3.800 light years dis tant from the earth, which means that the light from It which astronomers now see through their telescopes started on Its Journey to the earth In the time of the shepherd kings of Egypt, nearly 1900 years before Christ. That distance la only a small fraction of the distance from the earth to some of the more distant star-clusters, but the outstanding fact about RZ Cephel is that Its ve:. loclty as It files through space is the greatest yet known for a star. The speed of the star was measured at the Harvard observatory by a complicated process of observations and computations, Including among other things the comparison of pho tographs recently taken at Harvard with others taken II years ago. when the observatory was just beginning its task of preserving a photographic history of the entire sky. Since that time a "sky patrol" has been kept without Interruption at Cambridge, supplemented by photographs taken at the station at Arequlpa, Peru, and the history of the stars down to the eleventh magnitude has been written by the stars themselves on over a quarter of a million photographic plates weighing in all 140 tons. Most of the discoveries made by Harvard astronomers, it Is said at Cambridge, are not made by looking through a telescope at night, as Is popularly supposed, but by doing what was (lone In the case of this dis covery of the speed of RZ Cephel. by studying and measuring by day, In the laboratory, photographs taken at night, and by computing the signifi cance of the changes In the brilliance or position or spectra of the stars as recorded on these plates. The discovery of the Immense speed Of RZ Cephel is Said to be Important in astronomers as suggesting that this type of variable star . escapes from the globular clusters, a hypothe sis suggested also by other recent observations.
