Very satisfactory advances '
have been secured trom the com- ;

on the tobacco of Eastern Caro
lina growers. Each member will
receive his cash advance upon
delivering tobacco this week and
iin addition will be given his
participation receipt. The parti

he will receive all future pay

proving valuable collateral for

To the tirst applicant St. Peter;
said: "What kind of a car Uu j

"A Packard," said the man.
"All right," said St. Peter,
"you go over there with the
Presbyterians."
The next in line testified that
|he owned a Buiek, and was told
to stand over with the Congrega

Behind him was the owner of
a Dodge, who was ordered to
stand with the Baptists.
Finally a meek little individual

" Ford, " was the answer.

AUTOMATIC LIGHTS
FOR STATE ROADS
Stale Getting Interested in Com
position For Keeping Down
Dust On Its Highways—Salt
May Solve the Problem.
State highway lighthouses on
the roads of North Carolina will
be an early announcement from
the central office which shortly
puts the radio to work and in
time may have a salt factory
making the elements which lay
for keeps the dusty roads be
tween capitals.writes O.J. Coffin.
The salt factory is fanciful:
but the lights are a certainty as
is the radio. The last has been
mentioned: the other has not. In
time on a limited number of the
state's best roads the crossings,
steep grades and sharp curves
are to be illuminated by an auto
matic device which goes out when
the sun comes up and comes
back when the sun goes down.
There will be three of these
lighters. They come on in Hashes
similar to the electric buoys
which warn navigators. The
railroad crossings will have the
most interesting because it is the
most treacherous of the death
traps which modern highway
construction has to meet. Then
there will be different linhts for
grades and curves, so that any
driver who comes whizzing
around the bends or living down
the heavy hiils, may see his
danger in time to ston.
These devices cost the state
not a nickel. They are furnished
by the American (las Accumulat
or company of Elizabeth, X. J.,
which maintains them with an
advertising feature which pays
the whole bill. The lights will
. be made from acetylene and will
;be both brilliant and beautiful.
.Meanwhile th? state is getting
interested in a composition for
keeping down the dust on its
highways.
Calcium chloride has been
sparingly used with success in
small villages and towns, but as
yet this concoction is too costly
for North Carolina roads. It has
done the work in other states
and where tried has been satis
factory, but it costs sti(K) a mile
annually and that is called steep.
Chairman Frank Page suggested
that there is a lot of salt in the
ocean and the stuff used in keep
ing down the dust is a by-product
of si.lt. Mr. Page has seen the
sea often and observed that much
salt is wasted every vear. If
somebody would put up a factory
and get the salt out of the At
lantic, we could make this stuff
cheaply," Mr. Paige said, evi
dently remembering that other
geniuses had been able to vank
nitrogen from the air and make
fertilizer with it.
Whatever happens to the salt
proposition, the state is going to
have state highway lighthouses
soon and they will be beautiful to
behold.
