There is an indication of being held in restraint, or that some force of circumstance may interfere with freedom of action. Both of these dangers should be avoided if possible; the first would cause a failure in life, and 'iconsiderable trouble of an unexpected character might come from the latter. TODAY’S HORISCOPE Today’s native may be impulsive, willful and daring. The intelligence bestowed and the intuitive judg ment which goes with this degree makes for a very strong position and leads to success. Take care t«j curb the impetuousness so that the emotions may not run away with the reason. Some motorists take excellent care of their cars, others go for long drives in the country on Sun day afternoon. J. V.

Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, July 22.—From several eastern counties come complaints of labor shortage and inadequate barn capacity for curing the tobacco crop. Conditions seem most serious in Pitt and Columbus counties, where large parts of the crop will ruin un less housed within the next few days. Even in Wake several fields | have been'abandoned because it was just impossible to take care of the tobacco in the curing barns available. Some farmers see in this condition a hopeful sign. They are those who favored crop control. They say there is too much tobacco and that what is cured will bring more actual money than if the whole crop were sold. Even they deplore the waste of ef fort and fertilizer in bringing the crop to maturity only to have it for feited just before marketing time. Stacy Brewer, former newspaper man, now with the safety division of the motor vehicle bureau, who lives at Hemp, says that the fine horse show at Wilson the other night, and the elite shows staged at Pinehurst are for fancy stock. The Hemp horse show, scheduled for August 12, is for ordinary every-day farmers. It will feature work stock, particularly horse and mule colts . I Exception still proves the rule. Disruption of electric power and telephone facilities for nearly an hour in Raleigh during the storm •Thursday night served to emphasize the thorough dependability of these modern conveniences. RICHMOND COUNTY FARMER LIKES NEW WATER SUPPLY Rockingham, July 22—Gus Coving ton, a Richmond county farmer, fig ures that he spent $1,500 and many hours of labor in the past few years maintaining a water supply into his home. That was when he used a well and a pump. Now he gets 1,080 gallons of water per day delivered into his house with out any cost of operation. He has installed a hydraulic ram. He is now going around advising his neighbors to consult J. P.

Berlin Much Pleased At Latest Turn (Continued From Page One) return for general disarmament and supervision of Germany’s arms in dustry was said here to have been started by R. S. Hudson, secretary of overseas trade. Hudson was believed to have mentioned the scheme to a number of members of the govern ment, but a foreign office spokes man said this morning: “The scheme is unknown to Lord Halifax, it is unknown to Wilson; it is unknown to the prime minister; it is fantastic.” GERMAN OFFICIALS THINK THEY HAVE WON VICTORY Berlin, July 22.—(AP)—Official Germany congratulated itself today on what it regarded as victory in the latest round of the “battle of nerves.” This was the reaction as reports poured in, especially from Britain, of the “sensational” effect created by yesterday’s statement by an authoriz ed Berlin spokesman that Germany is confident Danzig will be returned to the Reich within a few months without bloodshed and on Germany’s terms. Foreign office sources and other comjnentatois insisted that the gov ernment spokesman yesterday dis closed nothing new. Hence, they said, if it was treated as news by the press and public in other countries, this is merely another indication of “rag ged nerves” elsewhere. That Germany demands uncondi tional return of Danzig, it is pointed out here, has always been known. Fuehrer Hitler’s newspaper accused Britain of trying to awaken in the minds of English readers that Ger many is changing her mind every few days. “Having previously published half a dozen dates for a German coup d’etat against Danzig, in order there by to keep the pot boiling,” the news paper said, “the evening press of London yesterday gave a big play to the version that Germany has now /decided to give preference to a peace ful solution.” News items announces a new cure for color blindr/.ss.

There are half a dozen men and women who have been mentioned in connection with the appointment. July 22, 1929 Miss Sallie Sue Pittman has re turned from a three weeks visit to the Pine Needles Hunting Lodge in Greensboro. Miss Florence Brown spent the week-end in Wake Forest as the gudst of Miss Louise Whims. July 22, 1919 Mr. J. M. Hughes, of the Hughes- Shaw Furniture Co., is on a business trip to New York City, and Philadel phia, Pa. 0 Everyone of the men who work at the plant of the Corbitt Motor Truck Company in West Henderson, who went on a strike a week ago to enforce their demand for higher pay and shorter hours, has returned to his work, except one man, and that one was denied permission to re turn to his old job, it is said. PEANUT CROP WILL BE READY EARLIER College Station, Raleigh, July 22. —An earlier-than-normal peanut crop in North Carolina is in prospect if weather conditions continue fa vorable, it was announced today by Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service. He i said that many growers feared that the crop might be late when plant ing was delayed in the spring, but that weather conditions in the past two weeks have been excellent for peanuts throughout the Southeast. Basing his statements on surveys made by county farm agents, and on reports of the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics, Dr. Schaub said that already new peanuts are being dug in South Texas and an occasion al car of new Spanish will be avail able this week. That movie fantasy, “The Wizard of Oz,’ our spies inform us, would make a swell picturization of a dic tator’s promise to his people. There are 50,900 different types of insects and on a hot summer night they all seem to be just varieties of mosquitoes. NOTICE. In The Superior Court.
