ilk A Th! 1 I VOLUME XXVI. NATION WELCOMES FOCH AND BEATTY PERSHING GETS OVASION. South Fights Hard Football Bat ties With Northern Teams; Bill Folger and Centre. By JOSEPH A. FLEITZER. NEW YORK, Nov. 3. Seldom has New York entertained so many dis tinguished visitors as within the last week. Scarcely a day passes that Broadway from the Battery to City Hall is not a cheering, waving -mass of humanity hailing the arrival of another great world figure. The first to arrive was Admiral Lord Beatty. the hero of Jutland. This famous naval strategist was fol lowed within a few days by three of the foremost military figures in the World War: Ferdinand Foch, Marshall of France and Generalissimo of th? Allied Armies during the war; Gen eral Amado Vittorio Diaz, Chief of Staff of the Italian Army and Italy's Tvnlitavv idol, and our own General John J. Pershing who returned from Europe after bestowing the Congres sional Medal of Honor on the Un known Soldier buried in Westminister Abbey. Foch, Beatty and Diaz are here to attend the disarmament conference. So great, in fact, has been the inter est in the arrival of these men that the coming of such figures as H. G. Wells, who will repo-t the disarma ment conference for the New York World, and Richard Strauss, the Bav arian Composer, has received but cursory notice. Mention of Strauss reminds me that this has been a week of musical remi niscences. I heard Eleanor Painter in 'The Last Waltz," a Vienesse operet ta, at the Century Theatre a few nights ago. I had heard Miss Painter frequently in Berlin where she had been leading soprano at the Deutsche.. Opera House. An American, Miss Painter left Germany shortly befor2 we entered the war and returned to her native country. Since her return to America she has achieved new popularity in several operettas, among which might be mentioned the revival of "Floradora." And last night I heard the Phila delphia Orchestra play three Richard Strauss compositions, conducted by the composer. Dr. Strauss is univer sally regarded as the world's fort most living composer. As I watched him wield the baton last night I re called nights in Berlin when I had seen him conducting two of his operas, "Salome" and "DerJEtosenkavalier" in the Royal Opera House. This is Dr. Strauss' first visit to America since 1904. Mayor Hylan welcomed the distinguished musician and extended to him the freedom of the city. Honors are even in the controversy beveen "Babe" Ruth and George Bernard Shaw. Among a list of questions sent by a New York news paper to the British playwright was "Do you consider Babe Ruth the greatest ball player in the world?" To which Shaw cabled the question: "Whose babe is Ruth?" When shown the cablegram, RutU. inquired: "Well, who is Shaw, the fellow who used to catch for St. Louis?" The South invaded the North last Saturday and again demonstrated that can be as courageous in defeat as gallant in victory. Center College of Danvil!e, Ky., with some 225 students and 10 professors came to Cambridge nl trimmed proud Harvard with its 0,273 students and 786 professors, to fte tune of 6-0. Georgia Tech played Penn State at the Polo Grounds ana J'as defeated, 28-7 by the heavier and faster team. The Georgians, although defeated, demonstrated that they were Jjot lacking in gameness. To quote a -New York Sports writer: "It would be difficult to discover a spirit on any field than that of the two teams engaged. The South emers were as good sportsmen and good losers as ever came into a northern zone. They played with a good will, and lost gallantly. ad they won, with a kicking game d a better knowledge of defence, 7 doubtless would have taken home nel? Puma 1 ..;i it.

At Wise Plans for Book Week, Nov. 13-19, receive the support of the Wise com munity said Mrs. Charlotte Story Perkinson, Secretary of the Better ment Association, who was in towr? this week. The drive is to provide an additional 100 books for the Wise State High School. Its success wiil bring the total to 400 and fill one of the requirements of a standard State school. . v "A new building under construc tion is to be completed by Jan. 1," .she said. Since consolidation with the Paschall school Wise hopes to in stall a science department, to have three teachers in its High School and an average attendance of more than forty. This, with the success of Book Week, will give us a standard school." -Moving pictures at the school Nov. 10, 11 and 12 are expected to arouse further interest. The screen is to.ba used by the State Board of Education in its program of school extension. The Betterment Association, Miss Carrie B. Dunn, president, is to have a booth at the Coleman-White Store during the campaign. Selected books are to be sold with an idea of carry ing out the two-fold pupose of the campaign; to increase -he library of the school and to bring more books to the homes.. "Merchants of the town," Mrs. Perkinson continued, "are to sell us candies, cake: and goodies at whole sale prices. We are going to work over this material and offer it to the public at a small profit. All the pro ceeds will be used for the school lib rary fund." Book Week is to be held with the co-operation of the State Library Commission. The Children's Book Committee of New York is also furn ishing literature and suggestions. "With each family buying a book and presenting it to the school the success of the Nov. 13-10 campaign is assured," Mrs. Perkinson said. FALLING SILL CAUSES EUGENE LOYD'S DEATH. Eugene W.

Light Smrits Revel O 'A At Masquerade Party Men present still talk of the mas querade ball given by the girls of Warrenton to the young men of the town at the home of iMr. and Mrs, Howard F. Jones Wednesday even- mi The home was aglow with the, spirit of Hallowe'en when the boys arrived at 8:30 o'clock. Pumpkin lantern ghosts gave a creepy feeling that was accentuated by spooky figures in corners and black cats draped fromjie walls. But it was the absence of the girls that put the touch of fear into the hearts of brave youth. In a few moments the sound of feminine voices reassured. Into the minds of each boy flashed the boast ful thought that he would be able to find "the girl." Alas for such egoism! The proud boast that they would easily pene trate the disguises of the girls prov ed naught. Twelve girls were singly placed were they could be seen, and the young men were asked to write their names on a contest card in the order of their appearance. Many were un able to guess one girl. Some of tne boys were unsuccessful in guessing the names of their own sisters. John Tarwater was given a prize for being the most discerning when he guessed seven of twelve disguised ladies. Not j only were the disguises difficuH to penetrate but the costumes were clev er in conception and beautiful in cre ation. Will Jones was Domino, Byrd Jones, Farmerette; baran mooTe, Country Lass; Mrs. Essie Boyce, Queen o' Hearts; Mrs. M. E. Grant, Pierrot, Martha Reynolds Price, Bal let Dancer; Lulie Price, French Maid; Virginia Gibbs, Little Red Riding Hood; Undine Draper, French Maid; I, J ' 7 v Gordy, Daisy; Laura Boyd, Dutch Girl. . After enjoying the bewilderment of the boys for some time the girls un masked. Dancing and social conver sation soon sped the happy hours un til 11:30 o'clock when the guest went to the dining room where . a table that was more suggestive of Thanksgivigg than Hallo we'en awaited. The small hours of early morning witnessed the departure cf the guests.

Limer, industrious farmer of Shocco, tells that Haithcock's story of an apple orchard in bloom cannot equal the work of nature in his sec tibn of Warren; He brings peach bloooms to. prove his point and telik of blackberries, apples and cherries which flourish in November. A mutual friend of the two Warren farmers upon being told yesterday of Limer's find said: The gentlemer should form a frosty fruit fellowship, dealing in agricultural nosegays as a sideline.

EDGEWOOD SHEDS REAL HALLOWE'EN SPIRIT. Rattle of favors and laughter of guests made festive the Hallowe'en party of (Monday night at Edgewood. Miss Lucy Boyd was hostess for the occasion which many guests ' pleasant ly recall today. The home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Boyd, wt a mass of decorative skill. Fishing for favors meant big hauls. Mrs. Jack Scott saw that the appro- priate verses hit where they meant , most. Conversation paused often during the evening as the guests were served punch from a witch cauldroi suspended from a tripod. After refreshment the visitors guessed the number of seed which had been taken from the pumpkin, which partially cloaked candle light in the center of the table. Miss Laura Boyd was presented with the prize by ' Miss Lucy Boyd. Miss Byrd Jones thought there were nearly a thousand seed in the plate. A token of her error was presented.

Every, one appreciates that high prices and low incomes resulted in decreased demand. The farmers' ac tion in decreasing acreages of cotton and tobacco has resulted in far better net returns than were expected. Of course nature has played a heavy hand of havoc in many sections of the State and South, reducing the supply. The wonderful production of corn in Iowa has resulted in about one-third the price of the 98 cent average re ceived in North Carolina. Eastern counties are selling at lower prices than are received in the drought stricken Piedmont areas. High freight rates permit wide variations. Tobacco is gradually improving. October prices averaged over 25 cents, slightly better than a year ago and 40 per cent, of the average two years ?.go. The season begun on a basis lower than last yenr but has climbed jpward. ' .- ' . . Cotton, last year., a t raged about five centsa ppuiid .bove the October average 'of.'; near-19 cents; which in turn is half of the April 1920 prices. The Boll Weevil combined with the weathr;.a;iednced acreage to; iv the present crop the lowest yield per acre on record. The production cost Is the ef ore relatively high and price returns should correspond. The low cost of production was at the expense of the labor of the farm ers' family and himself, as he had no cash or credit to secure labor and fertilizers. It is no compliment to other industries that he was forced to this end, says Director Frank Parker. Hogs at live weights were 50 per cent, higher a year ago and 100 per cent, more than two years ago than the $9.50 per hundred pounds present average.- All livestock have decreas ed noticeably. Milk, at 52 cents retail, has de creased 20 cents a gallon; peanuts at 5.8 cents per pound ' now, sold at 10 cents a year ago and the present crop is extremely poor; Sweet Potatoes at $1.15 per bushel are 50 cents less than last year; in May, cotton seed ; were selling at $18.00 per ton or 25 per cent, of the price 12 months pre vious, while they have advanced to above $30.00 now; Eggs at 37 cents, are 15 cents cheaper than a year ago, and honey at 24 cents a pound is seven cents lower than a year ago. although this year has been a record one for poor production and loss of colonies. A study of the prices of commodities, indicates that labor is the big item in high price levels. Famers were forced to accept low prices white other labor has not kept pace. . C. R. RODWELL JR. HOST AT HALLOWE'EN PARTY. Mr- c- R- Rodwell Jr. entertained a number of frierfds at a Hallowe'en party Friday night. The Rodwell home was decorated n chrysanthemums and autumn leaves. Yellow crepe festons gave a mellow light in which Hallowe'en black cats and witches seemed to prowl. Two large jack o' lanterns had guided the young persons to the home on Ridgeway streets where Mrs. Rodwell started the fun witn gifts of clown hats. The witch's prophecy for each guest was on the place cards. All read the messages with glee. Those present were Misses Sarah Howard Ward, Bobbie Jones, Virgin Shell, Mary Frances Rodwell, Mildred Allen, Lucy Marshall and Willie Hall Johnston; Messrs. C. R. Rodwell Jr., John Burwell, Walter Boyd Massen-
