The Sportsman "bangs" out in the woods, And the "banging" wakes the soli tudes; "Bob White" wants a chance to light, Cut does not dare till comes the night. The "squirrel" runs with great alarm And tries to hide away from harm; And the "wise" Farmer does the same, Of else he'll be mistaken for the game.

THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL i Ncvember2 to 11, 1919 Time to Re-Join ('11 1 K t is Vtw K 9i4 MAM i SELECTED SITE FOR WAR REN'S NEW $60,000 HOTEL Ransom Lot To Be Sold By Hotel Company and Rumor Has It Purchased As Site For Stores; Final Plans Fast Snapping. Warren's $60,000 dollar hotel will grace the one hundred and 25 feet part of the Green corner is the infor mation available from members of Warren Hotel Company today. The committee in charge of selection of the site chose the Green corner as the most desirable of the three locations considered by eliminating the Katzen stein corner and the Ransom lot. The Ransom lot remains the prop erty of the Hotel company who will offer it for sale at an early date. Rumor is general that several people are interested in buying the property arid building stores there. The architect has been a recent vis itor here and is making final plans for the structure. As soon as the plans are accepted the contract will be given and the materials bought'for active work which it is expected, will com mence in the early spring and be pushT ed to a conclusion during the spring and summer. Of course, the property will be cleared this winter and every thing made ready for construction as soon as winter is over. The house on the property will be moved to the rear of the premises and used as a storage room during the building of the Hotel after which it will be torn down leaving a handsome structure upon the suitable location as a monument to the enterprise of the Company and the town. ' No Need For Fear From Boll Weevil Raleigh, Oct. 22. Though the cot ton boll weevil has now appeared in North Carolina, there is no need for alarm on the part of the cotton farm ers, says Mr. R. W. Leiby, Assistant Entomologist of the North Carolina Experiment Station. It still has time to spread from Columbus County over a considerable 'portion of the south eastern part of the State, but it is doubtful if the weevil can do much damage before year after next. What damage it can don ext year will de pend on how it is killed out during the present winter by injury from cold. The entomologists of the North Carolina Experiment Station have been constantly in touch with the progress of the weevil since 1892. It arrived in South Carolina in 1918, and its presence in this StSte was no sur prise. The Experiment Station is planning to keep in constant touch with its progress, and to aid cotton farmers in every possible way to com bat its ravages. In those places where it has appear ed heretof re, the boll weevil has re duced the cotton crop anywhere from 20 to 80 per cent. The weevils deposit their eggs in the young squares, and the grubs hatching from these eggs eat out the squares, preventing them from becoming full grown bolls of cot ton. It has been demonstrated that many different ways can be employed to combat the weevil, among which might be stated, frequent cultivation, growing early cotton varieties, hand picking the weevils early in the sea son, and poisoning them during the growing season. It is not known yet but what the weevil will be a blessing in disguise, because in every state where it has aoDeared farmers have been forced to grow less cotton and to diversify their crops more. This has meant greater returns on their investments. In this week's Extension Farm News a story giving detailed information about the boll weevil is being printed. Those who are interested in the mat ter will do well to write the Extension Service for a copy of this publication. From Eastern' North Carolina comes interesting news of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign. Two Churches in Neuse Atlantic Association met the same day and both resolved to con tribute more to the Campaign fund than was asked. The strongest church in the Association, the First Church of New Bern, and the weak est church in the Association, took the same action the same day. - TWO jWEEK REVIVAL SER VICES TO BE LED BY PRICE Noted Evangelist and Singer Ar rive November 3rd For Stir ring Revival Services; Singer Accompanies Evangelist.

CHIEF S. P. FLEMING AND DETECTIVE CAPTURE MEN Chief S. P. Fleming, of Norlina, with the assistance of a Seaboard De tective and deputies, arrested three men at Norlina this week on evidence pointing to their guilt in community robberies which have been perpetrated at Norlina and along the Seaboard in this section of the State. One of the captured men, a certain Smith, was wanted m Henderson for robbery and , was turned over to Sheriff and his deputy Lewis Monday and carried there for trial. The other two men are in jail here though information states that they almost escaped from the county jail Monday and had to be removed to a downstairs cell. - "If the good were only clever, And the clever were only good; Tlie world would be better than ever We thought it possible could. "But oh! it is seldom or never That things " happen just as they should; The good are so harsh to the clever, The clever so rude to the good." John T. Waring, Jr. Macon, N. C. " hp ? ' " The Fair Season is about over and I hope that I can b in the county all of the time now. This year has been very hard on us in get ting up exhibits. It was the same all over the State. Warren County's ex hibit at the State Fair was creditable. It was not what is should have been nor what it could have been had the interest been keener. One first prize came to this couiftjr: Mrs. Ed. Perkin son from Wise had the best jar of fig preserves exhibit and it competed against both fig and watermelon rind. I hope that next year we will get many prizes in this county. We can do it if we will only work with tne idea of winning as they do in Lincoln county. Tuesday of this week I will be at Axtelle at Miss Eula -Allen's home for a demonstration. Wednesday at 1:30 p. m. the High School girls will meet in my office for their regular weekly lesson. Wednesday night 'the Com munity club at Oine will hold their regular meetings. Thursday at three o'clock the Demonstration club at Ar eola will meet at the school. This club has bought a new four-burner oil stove with oven and I feel sure they will be greatly benefited by it. Realizing that the people of the county have much trouble in finding the County Agents over telephone and believing that it would mean much to the work we have had a telephone placed in our offices. While both of us are necessarily out of the office much of the time we can usually be found in from nine to ten each day. . Rev. Louis Taylor To Talk Here 29th The Rev. L. N. Taylor will speak in Emmanuel church on Wednesday, October 29th at 8 p. m. In his address Mr. Taylor will present the plans and purposes of the nation-wide canjpaign. Members of all churches are invited to hear him, whilst it is expected that Episcopalians from all over Warren county will be grateful for this oppor tunity to learn how best they can ; serve Christ in this campaign. The measure of hospitality with which we welcome new-tasks weighty and exacting is the measure of our trust in Christianity as the great un spent force in the moral life of the World. Let us receive our new duties with such warmth that all may see that we are not losing, but keeping our faith in Christianity1! E. W. BAXTER. C. H. WILLIAMSON, OF SHI LOH, REPORTS ON DRIVE ' Principal C. H. Williamson of Shiloh Institute who has been on his "Go-Over-the-Top" financial drive -for the Shiloh Institute thru Franklin county, reports great success. In Franklin county, he states, the people, both white and colored,, have been very cor dial and liberal, and he feels that good old Franklin will pull her part. Principal Williamson feels confident that not only will his own people in Warren and Warrenton help him, but that the white people of the town and county, who have always helped the colored man, will not forsake him. He says that he or. some of the drivers will be calling upon you on or before the firt Thursday in Nov. (Nov. 6th), and cautions everyone to remember that barbecue and brunswick stew will be served for dinner on this day. Business is service. Wi1lbuBeOne OFAMillionWorkers lb Secure Meinljsrs for HieAmericanHjcl Cros3 blttnteerNowAtTrour Chapter Headquarters Third Red Cross IMi Call November 2-11 lif TOWNSHIP UNITS OF COT TON ASSO. CALLED HERE Saturday Morning Given Over To Discussion Of Situation In County and Reports of Several Townships. The several committees in charge of organizing the individual townships of Warren in the Amrican Cotton As sociation are urged by Chairman A. E. Paschall and the entire Executive Committee to complete their organi zation before Saturday of this week and to commence with all possible zeal the active canvass for membership. This request is to follow up the let ter from the Association last week urging this same course and is to dove-tail with the meetings being held this week over Warren by the County Agent for the purpose of arousing the necessary interest among the farmers. It has been pointed out by farmers and is unquestionably true that the present increase in the price of cotton over that of last year is in great measure attributable to the activity of the campaign of the cotton association this spring under' its adopted slogan 'Hold for thirty cents decrease acre age one-third." It 's the belief of many citizens that with the organiza tion perfected over the South means will be at hand for obtaining a fair price for cotton and that immediate monied returns may be expeciea. A general meeting is called for the County Saturday morning, November 1, in the Court House at Warrenton. A townsnip roll call for the status of the campaign in each township will open the meeting after which a gener al discussion of the plans of the As sociation will engage attention. The entire organizatipn from each township as well as all interested pub lic spirited citizens are urged by of ficials of the local branch to be prei enV and affiliate with the organization which is endeavoring to become a strong link in the chain of the Amer ican Cotton Association and obtain by co-operating with the farmers of the entire South a square deal and a fair price for the cotton crop of this year and the years to come. Atlanta, Ga., October 25, 1919. To Cotton Growers, Dealers, Ginners" and Shippers and Railroad Of- . . fleers and Employes: Millions of dollars are lost every year through improper storage of cot ton. This has been known in a gen eral way for a long time by every body interested in cotton, but prob-. ably very few of us have even suspect ed what a tremendous factor storage is in the trade, or the astounding lot of money thrown away by the individ ual owner who lets a bale of cotton stay on the ground. Some tests conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture re cently were brought to the attention of the United States ailroad Adminis tration, and their results were so startling that the Administration de sires to aid in gaining for them wid est possible dissemination and mo3t careful consideration. The most -striking fact disclosed was that a 492-pound bale of cotton stored flat on the ground for six months lost 232 pounds, leaving 260 pounds for the market, while another bale stored properly in a warehouse lost only two pounds. This means that, if the price was thirty cents a pound, the loss on the first bale was $69.60. The loss on the bale in the warehouse was but sixty cents. These tests occured at Press No. 1 of the St. Louis Cotton Compress Company Little Rock, Ark. Seven bales of cotton were purchased by the Department of Agriculture and stored under various conditions from Novem ber 25, 1918, to June 13, 1919. Week ly observations were conducted and complete reports prepared upon the condition of the cotton throughout the peripd. Briefly, here is what the tests dis closed: BALE No. 1, fully protected in warhehouse, weighed 494 pounds at the start and had a net marketable weight of 492 pounds when recondi tioned at the end of the test. BALE No. 2, exposed on dunnage and turned after each rain, or once a week, dropped in net marketable cot ton from 487 pounds to 480 pounds. (Continued On Second Page)
