JAMES L. MAYO Paoptnroi CARL OOERCH Editob WASHINGTON. NORTH CAROLINA, SEPT. 12. 1916. Come to think of it, we would appreciate some information which would enable us to determine just what team won the championship in the Eastern Carolina League this year. "t'se chicken* to make war on the boll weevil." ? headline. In the main, we had always thought that chickens weri- used for making war oil a fellow's bank account. "Remember the Maine.*' will now become the cry of one party^ while the other will at once declare that yesterday's election meang nothing. "Somme fighting is halted." reads a headline. And some is not, we suppose. The President is at Shadow Lawn for a rest ; and there's no one in the country but who will agree that he needs one. A DIFFERENCE IX APPEARANCE. The writer happened to be in (Greenville Sunday. While going down the principal street, he could not help but notice the appear a nee of this thoroughfare. Paper, peanut shells, small cardboarl l*>xes and other refuse littered the street, sidewalks and gutters. It was evident that it hail been several davB since any attempt had been made cleaned. And then, returning to Washington, the biggest kind of a eontrast was in evidence. Not a piece of paper was to bo seen. The streets and sidewalks were as clean as if no one ever used them. Everything was neat and well-kept. The strange part of it is. that before making the trip to Greenville, mir own Greets leaped attention, but aftier seeing tilie sreers in the rieighl)oring city, one could not help but note the difference. It is oftentimes tieccKsarv to comjmre our own condition with that of our neighl>ors' to thoroughly appreciate Washington. Incidentally, our efficient street commissioner. "Bill" McDeviw' deserves a little Iwxwt for rhe good work that he is doing. THE ROAD WORK. Th?* citizens of Washington township should rise up in rheir in dignation ami demand tihat all further work on the read between Kutiyou's Creek and the county home be stopper!. The money that is being sjjent. on this road- is being literally wanted, as no improve ment is lieing made and the work is going on under protest. In yesterday's issue of tJie Daily News, we exiled attention, in a mild way. to what had Uvn done, hoping that work <01 this road would would !*? suspended until further i n vestigation could Im? made and is being" done. If this is allowed to proceed, it. will not onW cause bun dreds of dollars tn be wasted in Washington township, but. it will put an end to all future road building in Washington township for vears to come. THE VAM'K OF SCHOOL TRAINING. On next Monday, the Washington public school will open for the fall and winter term. Indications point to a new record in atten dance, but, even l>efor< the figure* are made public, it is safe to sarv tihat the majority of students in the high nchool will pn?vo to lie girls. In the first, year of high scho< 1. the number of boys and girls is usually even!" divided ; in the second year, the girls take the lead ; in the third year this lead is even further increased and in the fourth year, the average attendance usually is one boy to every four girls. An interesting article on education wa? recently written by J. I). Andrew, president of Catawlm. onllege, and it tells of the value of a high sehool and college education. It reads as follows: "It in said that there are in the United States 20,000,000 young men betwer-n the ages of 1 fS and 35 years. It is safe to estimate tihat 10,000,000 of thewe are between 15 ami 25 years of age. Quite a number of these are in high school and college. Hut the great nratvi of them, peHbaps, are pot in school at, all. Horace Orooly ones said, "Young man, go west." I would like to raise the question, "Why not go to school ?'* Here are a few things for the young man to look square in the face. The average wage or salary of tiie uped ucated man in tiie United States is $450 a your. The aver age salary of the high school graduate t? $1,000 a year and ^ man, suppose ittoxo .jo. $1,500 to p^Mtu from o.llege and then you liao 40 ran and t*fm end rmm *8,000 * year in salary. -What is the result! If voC do not fo to school 1W eewinge. at die-end of 40 years are $18,000. But if gow.graAfrte from ooUeje and g<* $3,000 a jeer yon will have earned $80,000. The difference U $62,000 in favor at die t-oJhjre man.

IE USED TO CM IK Stated That Even Today, these Giant Aircraft are Safer than Steamships ( It) ALBERT <3. TOWN KM) London, Sept. 12. ? That the new put and largeat Zeppelins which the Germans are reported to be building in such large numbers are not in tended to be uaed primarily for war purposes, but rather aerial mer chantmen for trading with the Amer icas, in the definite statement of Alex andra Liwentaal, for some years con sulting engineer to Count Zeppelin. Mr. Liwentaal, who la a Bwls* by birth, but a BrIUaher by nnturnllza tlon. aald to a correspondent: "The real Zeppelins are those of the type that hgve lately flown orer| Lake Constance^ They are nearly as long a* the Lusltanla. ?These Zeppelin* are built for the following purpose: Directly peace Is aiRned. or probably before If the- war Is greatly prolonged, they will depart for the United fltates with despatches mall* and enVoya who will be In real ity commercial representatives. As they are constructed to alight on water and ars Independent of sheds, they will alight In New York harbor or similarly sheltered place. "After th#y ftn*o landed their pas senger! sad mall* they will take pn gasoline and at a low altitude, oyer the Unite* fetatee to. Mexloo and South America and thus advertise the commercial' prestige of Germany. These gi^nt . Zeppelins can fly 280 days a year In safety. It la not gen erally Known, that, even today, a Zop pelin is a safer medium oT travel than i a steamship! "The real aim of the Zeppelin la to secure the aerial , carriage of the [world's mails. For years to come they will only carry a few passen gers, who will pay large sums to reach some place ahead of all other means of communication and, of course, envoys and offlqlals." Since my talk with Mr. Llwentaal. the following dispatch has come from Zurich.. Switzerland: , "The Thurgauer Zeltung I earns from Rocaanshorn (on the southern side of Lake Constance, nearly 'oppo site Frlederichshaven). that the giant Zeppelin has been .seen from there making the flrst trial*. This latest monster of the air differs somewhat in shape from previous Zepfeellns. It M 960 feet long and weighs about twenty toss. "It Is fitted with seven very powr erful motors sod is armed wltb. ma chine guns, g cannon snd with appa ratus for launching .bombs and tor pedoes. The maeklae 1s capable of Immune eraft distance, taken ab 16.000 feet, at Till bf anti-alr t ravel a great er Zeppelin has month* to balld." MRS. H. KAGWOOD SAYS SHE CAN EAT VEGETABLES NOW Couldn't B?llevf TibIk so Great if 8h? Didn't Have Proof in / Own Cur. "Until takiaK Tanlac 1 tried ev ery thins I ever, heard > of Tor rheu-j m&tlam and inldgestion, from which 1 Buffered for two year*," Mr*. 7T. C. Hagwood, 118 Firwood avenue, Ral eigh, told the Tanlac man. "I could not eat meat or vegetables for If I did 1 would suffer pains and dBltrees aoon afterward. Gas pressed around my heart and caused fluttering. 1 couldn't lay on my left side; 1 was nervous and everything was a drag with me.
