do the growth of the seedling*. This box
consists of a wooden frame, as shown in

[hails driven through the sides to hold a
number of boards set with edges together
to form V-shaped troughs. The troughs
are filed with earth in which the seeds
we planted and spaced the same distance
apart as they are to be in the garden. The
box Jo then set in a place having the cor
rect temperature for the growth of the
plants. When it is time to transfer them,
furrows are dug to receive the earth and
plants contained m the troughs. The box
is then set over the rows and the remov
able nails pulled out. When the frame is
lifted, the boards swing away and the
eeedlings are neatiy deposited in rows.

The Railroads Are Entitled te Relief.

Air-Propelled Boat Steered by Swinging Motor
Shallow water and quantities ofj-übbuA
that made the operation of a
petted boat impractical did no* defeat a
California rancher when he decided to
use the Colorado river to haul his produce
to market twenty miles from: his farm.
He built a flat-bottomed, barge-shaped
hpL fifty-five,feet long, with a beam of
nine fort;, and at the stem mounted a
ninety-horsepower airplane motor mi
eisht-foot propeller to drive the craft
The steering problem was surmounted by
placing the engine assembly od a pivot
with two pneumatic tires to support the
weight of the fuselage and the fuel tank
of fifty gallons' capacity. Hie boat m
guided by simply turning the engine and
propeller with a steering wheel operated
by the pilot wh»v commands an unob

a delay of mail service. But the rail
roads are entitled to relief, and-should
■ have it. Demand that they continue to
i operate trains at a heavy loss simply
i for the looks of the thing, is entirely
i unreasonable. They should be required
■ to give the pest possible service the buai
* oiss willl warrant, but justice will ask
> no more of them. The railroads are
' up against a situation that is not of
I their own making. Building paved high
i ways has ia effect laid down competing
f lines parallelling rail lines throughout the
. country. The new Hatt furnish splen
* transportation at almost any hour,
I I ice than the rail lines can give; and
ilthe freight haul is also material. The

If the barge gets stuck on a sandbar, the
ihotor can be swung entirely around to
pull the boat loose. Speed of from seven
to eight miles an hour upstream against
a current of six miles an hour and a rate
of about twenty-five miles down the:
course are said to be the usual perform- I
ance of the engine. Hie owner is plan
ning to ibstall a 230-horsepower motor
and a larger propeller to reduce the time
required to get: his goods to the stores.
With the smaller outfit, he can cany five
tons at once on the barge, in the building
of which he spent about two months.

railroads are suffering a heavy loss of

The Atlantic and North Carolina rail
road was chartered by the general as
sembly in 1852, duration of the charter
being ninety-nine years. The charter
was amended in 1854 and 1855. Work
on the railroad was begun shortly after
wards and poshed tto completion from
Goldsboro to where Morehead City is
now located, a distance of 95 miles. The
road is now leased to the Norfcdk South

THK CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK.
Philadelphia Record-
At this season of the year, with the
customr.v lull in the primary markets,
the chief barometer of business activi
ties is the volume of transactions in the
retail stores. This gives a lne on the l
disposition and ability to buy of the con-1
sumers. Os course, the detailed state
ments are not yet available, but from !
every part of the country reports are to
the effect that the merchants have had a
good Easter trade, with favorable weath
er throughout and expectations for a j
continuance during the post-Easter sea
son. Similar reports came from two
great distributing agencies, the mail
order houses and the chain stores.
In the financial world the chief event
of the week was the refinancing of the
Dodge automobile pnrehase by New
York bankers, who are said to have re- j
reived applications for four or five times
Ihe amount of the offering. This shows
strong public confidence in the outo
mobile industry, which, reports show’, is
in better pcsiton than it was a year
ago. with production and shipments for
the first three months considerably in
excess of the totals for the same period
of 1924, This applies to both passenger
and commercial cars, manufacturers of
some of the most popular lines being
rather hard-pressed to make prompt de
liveries.
More steadiness in prices >or com
modities and securities and better re
ports from some industries are among
the encouraging aspects of the week's
business, according tbt. U. G. Dun’s Re
view. Declines, in wholesale quotations
( have been less numerous, 1 speculative
markets have lost muet of their' recent
unsettlement, the decrease in steel pro
duction is more gradaal than was pre
dicted and in certain other lines out
puts are rising. Supporting these favor
able indications are the unprecedented
i freight enr loadings for this, season, the
| notably heavy bank clearings, the eom
! paratlvely easy rates for money and the
reduced liabilities qf-o failures.
The United States, Steel Corporation
on Friday reported unfilled orders total
ing 4,862.5fi4 tons on its books at the
close of March, a degrease of 421,207
! tons as Compared with the total at the
end of February. The decrease brings
the unfilled orders to the lowest level
since the ed of last December, when the
total was 4,816,676. and ends a series of
increases which began last August. Un
filled orders at the end of March 1924,
were 4,782,807 tons. Hie steel ingot
production for Mnnch, instead of a
slight decline from the February output,
as was anticipated showed an increase
of 3.2 per cent above the previous
month’s rate. All price advances at
tempted in the steel market since the
first of the year have felled, but on the
old levels consumption in all lines has
been considered as favorable-
Speculative interesjfai in cotton must
now deal with the new crop prospects.
He increase in ncfiNtge is said to be
slight, from 1 to 4 «er cent. Exports
have been 2,000,000' hales In excess of
those of last year,gad it is intimated
thgt some cotton can be bought abroad
at lew than replaee«4»t. value. The cot
ton goods markets last week were quiet,
with prices ruling somewhat softer.
Wool quotations in tfea domestic market]
have been largely nominal. While many
of the active, men in the wool trade ap
pear to think that prices are- at rock
bottom, some of the manufacturers con
tinue to hold themselves aloof from the
market for supplies, except for im
mediate needs. Following a protracted
period of price depression n the hide
[trade there are signs of a more settled
j condition.
• The official report on the condition of
! winter wheat as of April 1 was disap-
I pointing, as it showed a lower condition
I than forecast, being placed at only-. 68.7
per cent, against 83 last year nnd a 10-
year average of 81.2. This suggested a
far smaller total than expected, or 474.-
255,000 bushels against 590,000,000
bushels harvested last year. The pro
duction of the Government's report
which came out after Thursday’s close,
caused a big bulge in Saturday’s wheat
market. In Chicago the net close was
5 8-4 to 9 1-4 cents higher, with Win
nipeg’s gain from 9 7-8 to 10 cents-
Corn prices followed the wheat in
creases.

ANONYMOUS FRIEND
GIVES TEN THOUSAND
Davenport College I» Recipient of Wel
come Gift From Unknown.
Lenoir, April 13. —A generous friend
has anonymously donated SIO,OOO to the
Davenport College building fund. This,
with a number of other recent gifts, have
given new impetus and encouragement to
the college authorities and to the Build
ers’ Club. Plans are now under way for
raising plans funds for the immediate
construction of the new annex to the
main building. Tentative plans for a
four-story building to house the dining
department, the domestic science depart
ment, the practice rooms, the society halls
and about ten new dormitory rooms have
been made.
Friends of the college from everywhere
are rallying to its support. President
Hornada.v said yesterday. Recently Mr.
J. A. Bell, a trustee of the college, and
his wife sent a donation of SSOO to the
building fund. Others of the trustees
have made subscriptions and cash pay
ments. During the past week subscrip
tions nnd payments have been received
several alumnae. The college and the
Builders' Club have acknowledged do

Salem, and from Ur. C. C. Weaver, for

Congressman Bulwinkle Largely Respon
sible.
Gastonia Gazette.
A Charlotte newspaper man visiting in
| Gastonia yesterday declared that to Con
gressman Bulwinkle should go a large
share of the credit for the success the
150th celebration of the Mecklenburg
Declaration is going to be. In fact, to
him must go all the credit for the action
; of Congress in officially recognizing the
event, appropriating money and sending
( an official delegation to be present at the
event. It is almost an assured fact that
President Colidge will also be a visitor to
Charlotte, May 20th.
Congressman Bulwinkle hns done some
fine work in securing national reeogni
i tion of this important event, and the
! Mecklenburg folks, as well as all of us in
, this adjacent territory, are deeply appre
ciative.
Indications are that the event this
I year will be even more magnificently
1 staged than on the occasion when Wood
■ row Wilson visited Charlotte.
