The inelec will be fought off at the Cabarrus park and from all indications should be a stringent affair.

Raleigh, April 5. —On aecoufit of j tlie numerous requests for mileage to' the state highway system the com-1 mission will consider only those | roads approved by the local govern-1 ing body, it was announced today I following an all-day executive ses-, siou of the commissioners here. Local road governing bodies were J reuiyested to stpte preference of th • life of expenditure where more than one road was recommended. Contracts today were awarded for 111 of the 20 projects on which bids were received March 20. Nine of these projects are subject to a map being twisted on the courthouse door in the" respective counties showing i proposed changes in route. If no ob jection is made by the road govern ing bodies of the county or town in which the" changes occur, the eon tracts- wij automatically become valid. ... Fenner and Beane Cotton Letter. New Orleans, Apr. s.—Cotton was strong and prices a shade higher to day owing to the return or gains and prospects of further delay in plant ing. The map shows very little raw fall outside northern sections from Dallas to Chattanooga, but reports gathered at midday told'of consider able precipitation in southern and central sections. The forecast is for generally unsettled rainy weather in the southern and eastern belt. Cables were some easier tban due owing to renewal of hedging in Liverpool and domestic dry goods markets are re ported to have quieted down. Trac tion My alt branches of the trade are waiting to see how the crop gets off. The generally accepted view is that both preparation and planting are backward at the present time and the market is more responsive to bad weather than to favorable.

April o.—Th, ‘‘rubbrr neck wagons" stationed at * strategic points throughout the city, chiefly in tlie Broadway section, furnish an un official but decisive tent of that “metro politan air” which visitors desire and comparatively few New Yorkers have. The barkers for the, great busses, decorated with Chinese lapterno as a lure to visitors, watch the pawing | throng with an eagle eye for potential j sightseers. If the bnrker singles out | ah individual (roii! the passersby for j his “spiel” it is considered ail un j failing sign of tlie bucolic air. Con sequently it is the ambition of many New Yorkers to pass the busses with out being invited to “see Chinatowu j while you're in the city.” I Some New York names with a rural sound: Inwood, Throggs’ Neck, Itiv erdnle, Featherbed Lane, Gun Hill Hoad and Hunt’s Point. A general impression, formed from talking with no less than six motion picture actors and actresses on the eve of their departure for California, is that screen players prefer New York to California. The tears at- leaving the environs ] of Broadway, however, in some in stances suspiciously resembled the croeodile variety, llt was revealed that an actress who reluctantly gave up her apartment here when Holly wood called, formerly had a “west const contract,” meaning that her ex petises, including rent, were paid as i long as she wep away from California. It seems that no show house is’ really .complete without an art dis- j play of some kind. Expressionistic ! paintings, in keeping with the type, of plays offered on the stage of the : New 'Playwrights- Theater!,- Are hung I .ij». the theater’s balcony. j “M<jv t rnp at-linicY’ is a that convinces many visitors New "Yorkers either have no homes or never stay in them. Bpt one explanation is tlie small size of most apartments, and the other is that many “New Yorkers" live miles out, of town, in the suburbs. Two French Deserters of the Wcrld War have been living for twelve years in the fol'est caves or the wooded mountains. They .return ed to their native village, Vollins, and are facing a court-artiul. Lift Off-No Pain! 1^ ! . Doesn’t hurt one bit 1 Drop a little 1 “Freezone” on an aching corn, in stantly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you lift it right off with fingers. Your .druggist sells a tiny bottlq of “Freezone” soy a few cents, sufficient to repi.ove every hard corn, soft .cork, or corn between the toes, and the foot calluses, without soreness or irrita tion. mr dONCOfcfc GAILY tfctfct m S Have You Heard This One? .-.r: ' Love’s Labor Lost. A short time ago, in Richmond j county,. Ga.. a negro and his wife were brought before a magtstraate on a charge of fighting. The - magia- ! tratae, essaying to ast as iienceqiak-. I er. said to the woman: , “Mandy, you should not lose your ■ temper and beat Mose every time lie i does something you do not like. 1 You should try heaping coals of fire j on his head." “Well, jedge,” responded the worn- ] an, "I ain’t never tried dat, but I ] did lam him on de liaid with a red- i hot skillet, hut it didn't do a par- ] tide ob good.” Frank’—l don’t see how you can ' tell these Smith twins apart.

Is lie m ,oiis ■ ly ill? Elmer—Oh, Robert is all right. Bqt the shock of seeing him fall put my wife to bed with a severe nervous attack. i The young husband was anxiously awaiting news of the birth of hlk first child.
