I PLANT SOME LETTUCE FOR WINTER GARDEN Not Too Late Now For Some of Cool Season Crops. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 19- —Much of the planting for the winter garden should have been done in August, but there’s time yet for some of the shorter growing, cool season crops. “One of the most important es these cool-season crops is lettuce,’ says E. B. Morrow, extension hort: cuiturist at State College. “Accord ing to nutrition experts, lettuce stands well at the top of all leafy vegetables in vitamin content and there ie no better dish that could be served on the family table in late fall than a head of crisp lettuce with some kind of good dressing.” Os the two general types of lettuce, the housewife now prefers the crisp varieties such as the Iceberg of New York. The Big Boston variety is still popular among some gardeners. Let-' tuce can be grown during t«e cool fall weather and be made to head well If a little protection is given the beds during the cold nights of Nov ember and December, states Mr. Mor row. The Big Boston variety should form heads in 8 to 10 weeks from the time of sowing the seed, while the New York or Iceberg varieties will form heads in from 10 to 12 weeks. Seed planted in September will pro vide excellent lettuce for Christmas under good growing conditions. Mr. Morrow advises the sowing of seed in a 6mall bed and transferring the plants to a larger bed- To head well, the big Boston plants should stand about 12 inches apart and the Iceberg about 15 inches . Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. A little nitrate fertilizer will also help the plants to head.' For protection in cold weather, Mr. Morrow advises a canvas or sash. The plants will tolerate some cold weath er but will not stand freezing. DRUNK MAN GNAWS HIS WAY OUT OF JAIL Chief of Police of Rosman Goes to Feed, His Prisoner and Finds Only an Empty Cell.

SOPER RETURNS FROM WORLD PARLEY Duke “Dean of Religion Writes New Book.—Attended Conference. Durham, Sept. 17. —Os particular significance in the mi/vement toward ultimate unification of Christianity was the World Conference on Faith and Order, an assembly of denomina tional representatives of over 40 na tions, held recently at Lausanne, Swit zerland, according to Dean Edmund D. Soper, of the school of religion at Duke University, and noted scholar of religion, who has just returned to Duke University and will continue instruction there. Dean Soper, at present devoting himself to preparation of a book to be a popular account of the World Conference meeting and its influence upon the unification objective, relates that pre-eminent • theologians and scholars from all parts of the earth were present to assist in determina tion of differences and similarities in the conception of faith and order held by various denominations of Chris tians. Some 400 represenatatives of various protestant denominations, of the Anglican Church, and of the Holy Orthodox (Greek) Church were parti cipants in the meeting at Lausanne. Roman Catholicism declined an invita tion to be represented. Headed by Bishop Charles H. Brent, of the Western Diocese of the state of New York, who was the guiding spirit throughout the conference, such men as Dr. A. E. Garvie, noted Lon don theologian, Dr. Adolph Deissmann, eminent German student and probably the foremost living authority on St. Paul, and others of similar calibre gathered at Lausanne. Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Bishop John Moore, and President C. C. Selec man, of Southern Methodist Univer sity, at Dallas, were delegates from the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church and were in company with high of ficials of other national denominations sent as delegates to the conference.

Influence exerted by the meeting will be brought to bear upon Christian congregations through the official re port, Church publications, the general press, the popular account, the author of which will be Dr. Soper, and through the clergy. Conference sessions at Lausanne were held in the “Aula,” of meeting place, of the University of Lausaqne and in the Lausanne Cathedral The conference dates were August 3 through 21.

AMERICA BEST PLACE TO BUY GOODS SAYS SAMS President J. C. Penney Stores Arrived From Extensive Trip Through Eu ropean Countries.—Reports Zcheko- Slovakia as Being Among the Most Prosperous Countries on Continent. “American people have yet to learn that the United State* is the best place in the world to buy goods!” said Earl C. Sami, president of the J. C. Penney Company, the second largest chain store system in the world, who recently after completing an exten sive tour of the European countries. “I become a more ardent booster for products of our country each time I return from Europe,” Mr. Sams says. “America has so many possi bilities for manufacturing and pro ducing goods at the right price that I cannot see why such a large pro portion of our population seeks for eign-made articles. Zcheko-Slovakia appeared to be enjoying a genuine prosperity with the people happy and contented. We can expect to see rapid industrial strides for this coun try within the next few years,” Mr. Sams continued. “Due to the stabilization of the franc, I feel the price of merchandise will have to be materially lowered in France,” he said. “While Europe appears to be en joying a period of prosperity etbd hap piness, America strikes me as the fin est place in the world in which to live,” Mr. Sams concluded.

HOW MUCH DOES SIX MONTHS SCHOOL COST? Due to Divergent Methods of Book keeping It is Impossible to Decile This Definitely. Tne 'Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 17.—Just how much does the' six month school term item by item, cost the various counties in the state? At the end of this school year that question can be definitely and accurately answered. Due to widely divergent methods ol bookkeeping and accounting in the various counties in the past, it has been almost impossible to segregate the actual cost of the six months term from the longer terms, with the re sult that it has been difficult for the state department of public instruction to definitely arrive at the cost ot tbe six months term. However, this year tbe state de partment of public instruction hopes to be able to present to the people of the state the exact figures on th» cost of the six mbnths term, as well as the longer terms, as a result of the new state-wide uniform accounting system that was installed July 1 in all the counties of the state, as a re sult of the act authorizing it enacted by the 1927 general assembly. “For the past two month* we have been bending every effort to see that this new accounting system was ready to go into actual operation of the opening of the school term in September,” said Dr. A. T. Allen, superintendent of public instruction, in discussing the new uniform ac counting system. “County superin tendents, county commissioners and auditors have been co-operating to the fullest extent, and we feel that the new system is now thoroughly understood. As a result of conferences with county auditors and the- County Government Advisory commission, a form of bookkeeping or auditing was mapped out showing in complete de tail the expenditures for the six months term in all the counties. “This system of accounting is much more detailed than ever at tempted before, but is expected to prove its value, since it will show at all times the exact amount of school funds expended to date, against the appropriation, and the balance on band for each item of expenditure. For purposes of convenience the money for the six months term has been divided into three division, name ly : the current ’ expenses fund, the debt service fund and the capital out lay fund, and these funds will each be accounted for separately.” It was explained by Mr. Allen, however, that the state schools have been operated on the budget plan for a number of years, but that the meth ods of alloting money to various pur poses by the various counties, and of accounting for this money were so different as to make it almost impos sible to devise a uniform basis of comparison between the various coun ties. Now, however, it will be possible for the various counties to compare their costs for specific items of school expense with the cost of the same items in other counties, and from this comparison determine whether they are paying too much or too little for these various items. “For instance, if Pitt county finds that it is paying j. 5 cents per day per child for transportation, and Cabar rus county is paying 12 cents per child per day for the same service, and another county only 11 cents a day it will be possible for all of them to analyze their transportation costs and for those* who are paying a high er price, and thus discover why the higher price is being paid,” Dr. Allen said. “This will also enable the state department of public instruc tion to present to the next general as sembly an accurate statement of the extra cost of the six months school term.” Republican Meeting in Greensboro.

Murphy, Sept. 16.—Called from hi? place in church by whispered conver sation with John Bright, consiawe, Wayne Moore, 19-year-old Cherokee county youth, was shot dead a few minutes later within hearing dis tance of the church which was crowd ed with people. When members of the congregation, startled by the soupd of piercing screams and two revolver shots, rush ed from the little church they foupd Moore dead with two bullet wound* in his head. Bright had fled and up to a late hour tonight had not been arrested, although a warrant sworn out by the boy’s father charges him with murder. Will Moore, father of the dead youth, declared that the boy was fol lowed from the church by his mother, who pleaded with Bright not to shoot her boy and that the shots that ended his life were fired as the mother tried in vain to hurl herself between the boy and the flying lead. The interruption to the little fac tory town Baptist church came just after the minister’s sermon had been concluded and he had asked for the young people of the congregation to come forward and give their hand and kneel in front of the altar- Bright was seen to enter the church, whisper momentarily wit a Moore, who got up s’owly and fol lowered him out. Again the heavy note of the persuading hymn rose from the throats of the congregation as the minister renewed his plea. Ju*t as the notes died away and there was a strained silence scream* were heard from the darkness about a hundred yards from the church. The screams were followed, or ratner punctuated, by two shots fired close together and then came the heavy silence again as the congregation stood stunned. The people poured out of the building and went in search of the spot from which the sound* had come. Son Bom. Born to Mr. and Mrs. James Eudy, September 15th, a son.
