mportance is that of Secretary of
State and for this post it appears
that Judge Charles E. Hughes has
been selected. Mr. Hughes was for
merly Governor of New York, was
a Supreme Court Justiceand in 1918
candidate for President on 'the Re
publican ticket. He is a man of
recognized ability and character.
Henry C. Wallace, of Des Moines,
Iowa, and editor of a large farm
paper is said to have' been selected
for Secretary of Agriculture. The
present Secretary Mr. Meredith is
also from Des Moines and is editor
of another farm paper.
It is understood that Will H. Hays
of Indiana will be made Postmaster
general. Mr. Hays is the chairman
of tbe Republican national committee
and a man of great executive ability.
It seems that Herbert Hoover is to
have a place in the Cabinet and will
be either Secretary Labor or Sec
retary of the Interior. Mr. Hoover
is well known for his war activities
and his appointment will be a popu
lar one.
Harry M Daugharty looks like the
strongest candidate for Attorney.
general. He is very close to Mr.
Harding and if he does not accept the
appointment may have something to
ssy in the selection of a man for the
place.
Far Secretary of the Treasury two
men are prominently mentioned.
They are Chas. G. Dawes and George
M. Reynolds both of Chicago and

Moose lodg , rooms began a ,7 ;30
o'clock. M Leslie Davis acted as ' ,
chairman and Mrs. Jas. Caff rey wss

explained the object of the meeting
The principal address of the evening '
was made by Miss Bettie Windley, of
New Bern, who has, been active in
club work- in that city. , She ex
plained in an interesting manner what
a woman's club meant, told of i its
irrpat otinortunitiea for service to
the communityand dwelt upon. the .
inspiration which comes from mem- V ,
