Buy a Blue! . ' Buy a Red! ' Chautauqua is in the air every where. School lassies are vying with each other in. disposing of tickets, and anyone who has been slighted by these diligent solicitors may yet find tags by simply whispering VRed" or "Blue." " Since Miss Hughes, advance agent, struck Lillington last Friday, the Chautauqua spirit has "taken on." The whole town is interested now "and signs point to a capacity "audi ence, and as some would say, a "rep resentative" gathering in the big tent next week. . v Three concert companies are on 'the program, and these alone will be well worth the admission price. Three days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 5, 6, 7, will be taken up with some ' of the most splendid entertainment that has ever visited Lillington. People residing - in surrounding territory near the countyseat will do well to come into town and get seats reserved early, as the 'sale of tickets already points to a regular city audience. The surplus after paying expenses will go to equipping the dormitory at the High School. No one in Lil lington makes a penny out of the Chautauqua. This does not, how ever, Indicate that this is in any way a trumped-up affair to raise money for the school. The program shows nothing but high-class attraction. Look for the big tent next Wed nesday! - Dr. Ora Samuel Gray, Director. , ; The' Chautauqua director's guiding hand is in control of the community meet, whether in the background or in the foreground,' and on the second night he performs the function of lecturer with a big message for the community. . - Selected for their Ability as lead ers, the Radcliffe Chautauqua, direc tors on the various circuits form a strong group of men, made up of trained ' lecturers, managers, social workers and educationalists. The di rector will remain during the entire three days, coming into close contact, with the people." - The Radcliffe Chautauqua program for 1919 invites the community to stop the stream-of village and farm youths to the larger cities by making the community a better place to live in. "Right Education" is the slo gan. ;' "The Problem of the Unprpeared" ,is the challenging subject of the -director's first lecture, which he gives on the second night. He' will draw a graphic and even startling picture of ignorance, waste, industrial mor tality, infant mortality, illiteracy, disease, crime, poverty and unhappi ness, caused solely by a lack of edu cation. But his real impulse is con structive. He will ; portray on the other hand, the fruit of education in health, efficiency, wealth, culture, comfort, progress, power, honor ' and -happiness. ' The-director's second topic, which he will give as a parting cannonade on the last night, will be "Pushing VBack Horizons' Individual, Home, Community." The program, is of fered in evidence of the motto that "Radciiffe Chautauquas have souls." David Duggin Concert Company. This is. one of the very best organ- .' izatlons of the kind on the concert stage, organized and managed by Da yid Duggin, whose talent both as a performer And as a coach is readily manifested to his audiences.

Hiss Mary Jenkins, Red Cross Nurse, TO RELIEVE LACK OP HOMES IN DUNN Dunn, Oct. 29. In an effort to re lieve the housing situation here a company headed by - Granville M. Tilghman has been chartered to build, sell and lease houses, which is to be known as the Dunn Develop ment Company. They have subscrib ed and paid for stock amounting to $25,000. The authorized capital is $50,000. Two or three four-family apart ment houses are planned by the com pany. These, it is said, will be built immediately to relieve the congested living conditions here. Later the company will build several dwellings which are either-to be rented or sold. Those that will be offered for sale will be subject to- the easy payment plan and will, be within the reach of wage earners and small business men who may desire to establish resi dence in Dunn. The six men who make up the company are among the largest real ty owners in Dunn. All of them own residence property that is among the most desirable here. Messrs. Tilgh man and Ben Townsend are umber men. They will begin at once to saw lumber for the contemplated apart ment houses. It is estimated by realty dealers that at least 150 additional dwellings are needed in Dunn. With the open ing of several new enterprises and the great need felt by.mrchants for additional sales force, hundreds of families have expressed a desire to move to town. . Many of these . are already here and have found quar ters wherever they could. Frequent ly three " families are , quartredx in what ordinarily would be a single family house. Added to these,- many farmers who have grown wealthy up on recent high prices for farm prod ucts have retired and moved to town. These have taken the largest and most desirable residences. yMany traveling salesmen, too, have been attracted to Dunn by reason of its fine train schedules. These have come in numbers bo great that there are not near enough homes to place them in. The development company hopes to relieve this situation to a noticeable degree. . '.

BOLL WEEVIL IN THREE COUNTIES Columbn, New Hanover and Pender Counties Have Discovered th Pewt in Their Midst The Search to be Continued. Raleigh, Oct. 29. The cotton boll weevil has to date been found at Tabor, Freeman and Bolton in Co lumbus county, and on the edge of Wilmington in New Hanover county, reports R. W. Leiby. assistant en tomologist of the agricultural experi ment station. Since these two coun ties are north of Brunswick county, the weevil is assumed to be estab lished there also. Mr. Leiby, in speaking of the spread of the weevil, stated that search had been made as far north as Burgaw and Hampstead, in Pen der county, and as far west as Chad- bourn In Columbus .county, but that it had not been located at these points. During 'the coming week continued search will be made bv members of the -division of entomol ogy, department of agriculture, in an effort to locate the northern limits of the weevil. In each case where located, the weevil was found to be actively breeding. At Wilmington, particu larly, half grown grubs of the weevil were found in the young green squares, which indicates that it had been present in the state about two weeks before being located. The damage, however, to this year's crop will be negligible, since the squares In which the weevil is now' breeding would not mature cotton this season. However, it-appears that the weevil may succeed in maturing a brood this year: within, the state, and this will cause greater destruction next year. It is predicted by Mr. -Leiby that the weevil will cause but little de struction in the southeastern corner of the state next year, but that the year following, its work will be very strongly in evidence and will cause great losses , to the farmer who de pends only upon cotton. Already re ports' have been received of the de preciation of the value of cotton land iii Columbus county. This -la de clared to be untimely by Mr.' Leiby, since the best way to beat the boll weevil is to grow less cotton and more of other crops. - The boll weevil spends the whi ter in the adult stage. It produces a number of generations during the year, requiring only 21 days with fa vorable conditions to develop from the egg to the adult stage. Winter weather, therefore, Is an Important factor In the Increase or decrease of the weevils, nut the pest has been kn6wn to survive gero weather In LoulBjana, and It is believed that It will readily withstand North Caro lina winters. Messrs. C. T. and J. P. Matthews have purchased the Karaite business formerly conducted by E. W. Morris and will operate the business at the same stand. CONFERENCE OF HARNETT CO. TEACHERS HERE - j Whole County Represented In Con- saltation Over Methods and Dem "onMratlons of Efforts of Individual Teachers To Recur Unity and Efficiency. Gathering together from all parts of the county in an endeavor to s cure unity of effort In the classroom, the teachers of Harnett's rural schools met in conference Tuesday at Lillington High School for a th day session. The purpose of the con ference may be broadly summed up as a search for efficiency. . Not that there are Inefficient teachers in the country schools, but that many teach ers may be of many minds, and this consultation Is called for the purpose of unifying the best and most practi cal application of the science of teaching. Demonstrations In actual class room formation by the Individual teacher Is followed by discussions as to the value to be derived from that teacher's effort In "putting It over." To arrive at the best single Ideas In 'teaching In order to get the best re sults and to discuss among them selves. what sor tot effort brings the greatest response from the student's mind that is the aim of the teach ing demonstrations. Representing the State department of education Is Prof. L. C. Brogden. State supervisor of rural schools, who is assisting In demonstration work. Miss Meledelth Fraxler, supervisor of drawing and writing of Wilson's city and county schools. Is giving demonstrations In writing. ; Miss Mary Shotwell. State director for educational campaign for thrift, lectured upon this phase of educa tional work -Wednesday evening. This department was' Instituted last January under auspices of the Fed eral Reserve Board. Mr. Chas. Ross, chairman of the board of trustees of Lillington High School, made a talk to the teachers Wednesday evening. On Thursday afternoon a county wide educational conference took place In which the trustees, teachers, county board of education and others took part. This conference Is making definite plans for unifying the Ideas for cor rect teaching In the entire rural school system of the county, as stat ed herebeforein order to bring unity of effort In the schoolroom. At -feast twenty teachers are yet to be supplied In the rural schools and it is feared that some of the schools will not be able to open on schedule time. There are about forty rural schools In the county, with some thing like sixty-five teachers. Nearly all of these are present at thU con ference. . ' To get an idea of the demonstra tion work and discussions, one may gather the alms of the conference by noting that the conference in a body, or so many as teach a certain grade, will visit a schoolroom and watch the teacher as the lessons and reci tations are put on. Retiring to them selves, they will then dlscuns what they saw, what they didn't see. and what might be added or left off. In this way, the best efforts of the pro fession may be drawn upon and util ized In the forwarding of the modern idea of efficiency In the schoolroom. The conference Is being conducted under ihe direction of Prof. B. P. Gentry, county superintendent, and Miss Gladys Goodson, rural supervi sor of Harnett county.' The schools are scheduled to open on the first Monday in November. The following teachers are In at tendance upon the conference: Miss Bessie Cameron, Miss Dixie Thomas.
