Davis, Miss Rawls, and Miss Gillis left to | Mist Dicie Hcwell is Unusual Artist It is very often the case that singers of excellent reputation thick voice, the essential without I which they can never hope to i scale the heights, however, much ; they nra.v achieve as artists. Dicie Howell, the lyric soprano who will appeal; here November | in has a voice of exquisite na tural beauty. Miss Howell has ; developed her gift in a remarka ble way, bringing into play an other of her attributes, a fine mind. All this has made a nger of exceptional worth. A [noted critic, Philip Hale, of Bos ton. has declared that Miss Howell is a singer with voice, art and brains. In this state ment, based on truth, he has ad mirably summed up the case for ‘Miss Howell. J It would be different to say in j ! what field she has won most [ laurels, since she is successful in ! oratorio, concert and recital. Her popularity in concert is hown by the fact that she has j -'.mg with most of the well known choral clubs for men’s I voice's in America. One may not exaggerate the adaptability of her voice to oratorio. Here the lovely artistry of her work is • hewn toladvantage. When all is said and done, it ! may be declared tljat Miss [ Howell achieves her most beau | tiful effects in recital. In this | she is permitted the freedom of choosing her numbers, and she mingles color and light and the harming element of her person ality in a thoroughly delightful way. It is significant to note that critics, writing of her art, agree on several significant details. The voice is there, and the mind back of it. To these are added her ability to project clear, lovely tones, and to in still the color and vibrant quali ty so necessary for the best ly ric singing. There is no better way for describing Miss How ell’s voice than to say it is very beautiful, very satisfying, and that it is used with marvelous skill. This sums up, for the average listener, the indescriba ble sensations produced of wist fulness, of delicate shadings pro ductive of mood, and of charm. Parent-TeVcher Association The Parent-Teachers Associa tion of the Central School will meet next Wednesday, Novem ber 7, promptly at 3:15. The program committee promises a most interesting program.

ARBOR DAY •Friday, November 2, "Arbor Day” throughout the country, has this year a double signifi cance as it marks the birthday of Warren G. Harding, whose tragic death in California served to emphasize in the popular mind the degree in which his quali ties of love and sympathy had become a national asset. On his trip through the West and to Alaska there ran through all the speeches of the late Presi dent a note of keenest apprecia tion and concern for the preser vation and perpetuating of na tural resources for the common use and enjoyment. The same simple and reverent instinct that made him a lover of his kind grew in him an unaffected but sincere regard for nature and an understanding of what it means to human beings. That he was deeply interested in the con servation of forests, in the beau tification of the land in the popu lar interest was made manifest time and again in eloquent pub lic utterances. The hundreds of thousands of school children who will par ticipate in Arbor Day exercises next Friday have the opportuni ty through the planting of Hard ing Memorial Oaks not only to aid materially the essential un derstanding of-the place the tree I takes in the common life, but to gain a positive exercise through example in a wholesome patrio tism. It is hoped that every North Carolina school will next Fri day plant for its future care its significant Harding Memorial.

FOOTBALL The Second Team met with de feat twiceduring the week at the hands of the first team of the Enfield High School. The first game was played in Enfield Friday afternoon. Through the was six to nothing against the locals. Tuesday afternoon the same teams met here, and al though the Roanoke Rapids elev en put up a better brand of ball, gained more ground, made more first downs, two bad plays count ed seriously and the visitors to six. In this game Glenn Gur again won by the score of twelve ley, George Smith and William Alligood played stellar ball and gave promise of making some of the first string men play hard for their places. The Varsity team left this morning for Raleigh to play the first game in the series for the State championship. Raleigh is to be met this afternoon and the winner will play the Hender son Highs in Wake Forest next Fridayafternoon. Through the kindness of Mr. J. T. Chase, who visited the business men of the community and secured funds for the expenses of the trip, the team went on the train. About thirty high schools of the east ern part of the State are con tending for the championship of Eastern Carolina. The tourna ment begins this afternoon. The winner will play the champions of Western North Carolina at the University in Chapel Hill the eighth of December.. Birthday Party ' Mrs, J. F. May, cooperating with the local staff of the Me tropolitan Life Ins. Co., pulled a birthday suprise on the veteran agent here, F. C. Hege, on his birthday anniversary Thursday night. Nov. 1. A fine cake with a lighted candle for every ,year of his age was set before him in the office with the best wishes for many happy returns. Just bow many candles we will let you guess. Agent Hege has been on the job here every week but one for over twelve years and is well known by a great many of our folks. The cake and the candles were beautiful and the cake was awful good eating he says. Mrs. May also had a birthday on Nov. 1st, too, so of course Hege is the same age as Mrs. May. As a good cook Hege says she is hard to beat. North Carolina Cropi _ That North Carolina is the most fortunate of states is evi | dent from the fact that it has 1 perhaps the most favorable out look agriculturally that it has had for many years. Most all of the crops have a good outlook for production and price returns, with the exception of fruit which is very short this year. The rank of fourth in the total value I of the twenty-two leading crops iof the United States is expected j to be maintained by North Caro ilina this year. | The corn crop has a condition | for October 1 st of 89 percent or 19 better than a year ago and the | production of 54,405,000 bushels is about 12 percent more than last year. Tobacco has an aver age of 9 percent above the final condition last year and the 347. 000,000 pounds shows a pros pect of almost 50,000,000 pounds increase. Cotton has an in, crease of at least 25,000 bales more than was made last year. Wheat has the largest increase of all, the 6,633,000 bushels ba ling 17 percent more than last | year’s production, with a yield of 11 bushels per acre. Buck wheat’s condition of 91 percent of a full crop which is 9 pencent above last year’s final condition, gives us an estimated production of 105,560 bushels. The State statisticians, while traveling through the buckwheat counties, found that the acreage was greater than estimated which would increase the actual pro duction. Of those crops having decreas ed productions, there is White Potatoes on account of its de creased acreage while the condi tion is 2 percent better. Sweet Potatoes have a 4 percent con dition, which accounts for al most 1,000,000 bushels less than last year’s production of 11, 213,000 bushels. The hay crop of the state is not equal to last year’s but is unusually good. In -1922 North Carolina made one of the best crops of hay that she has ever had. The seasons were unusually favorable and many aiiandoned fields were harvested for this purpose. During the early summer of this year con ditions were unfavorable for hay production, but the late summer weather resulted in good yields on a decreased acreage. An average of slightly above 1 ton per acre is estimated this year for cultivated hays. Clover hay is estimated to average 1.4 tons per acre, while the alfalfa yield is reckoned at 2.3 tons. Pasture conditions are given at 85 percent of a full normal ex pectation. Cowpeas are not so good, av eraging only 79 percent, while soy beans average 85 percent of a full crop. The sorghum cane crop at 85 percent condition is expected to yield 2,618,000 there will be some sweeting any how. Frank Parker, Agricultural Statistician Rev. Sheets coming to Rosemary The Rev. Charles J. Smi^., pastor of the Baptist Church in Hilton Village, Newport News, Va., has been called to the pas torate of the Rosemary Baptist Church and has accepted the in vitation.

Clubs Organized in High School Twefve new clubs have been ! organized in the Roanoke Rapids j .1 unior-Senior High School. The purpose of the clubs is two fold : toj give to those who have volunteered to act as club leader the chance to follow the lure of some hobby for which they might not otherwise find time; and to offer to club members means of achieving enriched in terests and a more worthy use of leisure time. They supple ment the regular school work, bring together groups not other wise associated, develop new friendships, and open the way for the more strictly literary clubs to be organized in the s term. The time and frequency of meeting and the nature of the programs are to be worked out by each individual group and its leader; and sometime later on a public program is to be given by each club. The Radio Club, of which Mr. Elmore is leader, has twenty five members They plan to study the dt _ils of electrical principals involved in radio, to learn the construction of radio .sets, to give a public demon stration of how certain features of radio might be improved by the addition of very simple in struments, and to encourage the purchase and use of radio sets.
