Owing to the' heavy rush of busi ness last week we were forced to carry over to this week's issue of The Times a great deal of live reading matter which was prepared for , the paper last week,' among which was an. account of the advertising club which had been organized in Hender sonville February. 2. ' A Co-operative Advertising club, as a member of the -Associated Ad vertising Clubs of the . World, was organized, 'in .

Patterson, the. Hendersonville News and the, Western North Caro lina Times and a banquet was ar ranged at the Hodgewell on Wednes day night to which the business men of the city were invited. , r.

Bly was the next speaker to endorse the movement and if you think Mr. Bly can't speak you warn't there. P. L. Wright made a short talk, supporting the co-operative advertis ing plan.

Mrs. Lunn is here witn ner nus band who 'is ill and only -she, Mr. Lunn and the nurse. Miss Augus, Were actually present at the dinner. ENTERTAIN B. Y. P. U. Misses Vada B.

Each night a report is wired to state headquarters. , With half the amount already raised and with such able and en thusiastic men and women canvass ing the city, it is predicted tnai mere will be no difficulty in raising the amount before Sunday, when the week will be up. There certainly should be no opposition to such a worthy cause. . ' Recent reports from the agents on the other side, in the famished land, ko.ro vavoaloH the extent of the problem being faced. Of the 3,000, 000 Jews in the Ukraine, it is esti mated that nearly a fourth have suc cumbed to disease, pestilence and wars, and there are over 90,000 orphans children in extreme need. In the Odessa region there is acute suffering among the 500,000 Jews. Of the 4,000,000 Jews in Poland, a large proportion are still in straits and need assistance to become sett: and need assistance supporting. . . In the Bessarabian province of Bukovina, where there is relatively small Jewish, population, agents of the committee have reported 5,000 Jewish ? homes destroyed. .In the Towinh t tdwnt of .

In the middle west the building situa tion is "spotty." In one' city, build ; will ho fnnnd to be very active; in another, dull. On the Pacific coast conditions are likewise uneven. In southern California the building boom holds up and large quantities of lumber are being consumed. In the Pacific northwest the situation is checkered, but on the whole a good deal of building is going forward or is in immediate -prospect. Building is opening up well in the south and there is every indication that 1922 will be a year of great expansion for that section, furnishing the lumber men of the south a large and ready market near home. .

(By M. L. Shipman.) Raleigh, Feb. 6. Acting under un der authority of a statute enacted by the special session of the general as sembly held in December, the secre tary of state has taken steps to se cure better enforcement of the auto mobile law and those who have not renewed their license tax had better be on the lookout. Numbers of counterfeit plates have been received from time to time and Clerk Sawyer has quite a formidable display of these in his office. Some of these have been made of old plates that were battered out and new numbers hammered in, painted in accordance with the prevailing color scheme and used until detected. The inspectors named by the secret tary of state are Capt. George J. Studdert, of Washington, N. C, and Walter Lee Horton, of Raleigh, who will spend their entire time locating violators of the automobile license law out in the state. ' They will have the same police powers in cases of violation of the law that are now con ferred oit sheriffs, police and other similar officers. Special inspectors without salary are J. E. Sawyer, mo tor supervisor of the department of state; A. L. Flemming, clerk in the automobile department; Frank Page, chairman of the state highway com mission, and Lee S. Folger, automo bile dealer of Charlotte. The law provides for county and municipal co-operation and contem plates no infringment upon the rights of local officers by the state inspec tors. Under its provisions all display numbers shall remain the property of the state, subject to seizure for improper use. Eraud in securing registration and in misuse of num ber plates is made a misdemeanor, and upon conviction the person found guilty shall be fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court, the fine not to exceed $50 and the imprison ment not to be more than 30 days. It is believed that a rigid enforce ment of this law, will bring hundreds of dollars to the state treasury every year. The regular inspectors win dc & the job, all the jam. , . ..... h led and died'for Mr. Hardmg are -V 5 bled receiving their reward. The latest to land in a big fat job is R. W. Ward, of Raleigh, who becomes mar shal of the eastern district of North Carolina, Col. George H. Bellamy having tendered his resignation to ac cept a position with Revenue Com missioner Watts. The marshal's of fice under the administration of Col onel Bellamy has been in Wilming ton, but. it ,is believed, the newmar shal will ask for its removal to Ral eigh, from which place it was taken when Mr. Bellamy was inducted into office. The new marshal is considered to be a clevor sort of republican, al though "Mary. Ann" Butler classes him as a member of the Morehead "hog combine." He found easy sail ing in the senate and landed the job without a hitch. He served as a deputy under former United " States Marshall Claudius Dockery and is not without experience in the federal service. The Wake county bar honored the memory of former Governor Thomas Walter Bickett at a memorial meet ing on Friday. The war governor was described as "a lawyer true to the finest ethics of his profession" and a public servant of the highest rank known to the state. "For eight years as attorney general," it was pointed out, "he had the state for his client, and the record stands clear and clean, brilliant in its suc cess." As governor, "his administra tion was especially notable. It is written in the laws of the state and in fhp hearts of our Deonle." Gov ernor Bickett spent the last year of his life in the practice of his proies sion in Raeligh and faced the future with hope and confidence when the final call to the great beyond came with a suddenness which shocked the state. MISS FARMER ENTERTAINS Miss Sue Farmer entertained the United Daughters of the Confeder acy at her home on Oakland street last Wednesday afternoon. Her house was very attractive with grow ing plants and vases of galax leaves. Each guest upon arriving was pres ented with a cluster of galax leaves, these leaves being the emblem of this particular chapter of the U. D.
