Clark, one of the town commissioners, that the Gate City Trust Company of Greensboro, N. C, Avould buy the whole of the bond issue at the price of $81,288.00 for the eighty thousand dollars of bonds, which means that they have offered $1, 28S premium, or one dollar and sixty two and one eight cents over tlie par value. N. A. RIDDICK, OPENS BRANCH AT HENDERSON Henderson Garage taken over, Mr. J. C. Riddick in charge The business of the N. A. Riddick Motor Car Company in Vance county has grown to such proportions that Mr. N. A. Riddick for some time has been considering opening a branch in Hen derson, so that when a favorable op portunity arrived, and he was able to negotiate a deal with the owners of the Henderson garage, he signed a con tract last week for the occupation of that building, which is in the best business portion of the city, and most suitable for the salerooms and service station for Saxon and Buick cars. Henderson is probably the best town FLYING WHALE" BOAT IS GERMANY'S NEW OFFENSIVE The Weapon is an Aeroplane, But Has Appearance of an Immense Fish. Used on Russian Front. With General Von Linsinsren 's Ar mies on the Russian Front, Aug. 20. j (By Mail) Germany has' added fly ing whales to her other war wonders of the air. A hundred yards away these new aeroplanes look like gigantic fish with double fins which have flopped out of the water and lie stranded on their bel lies on the sand. They have four big eyes on each side. High in file air they are the most startling creatures I have seen on any front. They look like the living fisii FOR WILSON - and.

These bonds are issued in series all being of the denomination of 1000, the first series of 30 bonds are payable ten years after date, or October 1st 1926 : the second series of 25 bonds are payable twenty years after date, or Oct., 1st 1936, and the last series of 25 bonds are payable thirty years after date, or October first 1946 All of them draw interest at the rate of five per cent per an num upon the par value, and the proceeds are specifically stated to be used for the purpose outlined in the resolution of August 22nd, 1916, viz; for Waterworks, sewer age and storm drainage. the past year a great number of the cars handled by the Riddick Motor Car Company have been sold there, and, as they guarantee service 'for the first year, it was essential to have a service station as well as distribute the cars from that point. May of the best people have-purchased Buick and Saxon cars, so that this company does not enter that field un known, therefore it is a foregone con clusion that the business done at Hen derson will equal, if not exceed, that done from the Scotland Neck head quarters. Mr. J. C. Riddick left for Henderson today, stopping on the way at Enfield, Louisburg, and Warrenton before reach ing Henderson. Jack Riddick is a born salesman, and carries with him a fine record, so the business in his charge is pretty sure to prosper. We regret to have Mr. Riddick leave us and make his home in another city, but we wish him good fortune. SECRETARY DANIELS AT KALAMAZOO On close examination you discover an aeroplane standing about eight feet from the ground. The wings are those of a ordinary aeroplane, but the bod ies are shaped like that of a fat fish. The motor is enclosed in the head and at the sides, where the eyes of the fish would be, are two windows. The operator or observer can look out from above the fish's back or from the sides through the eyes. (The censors' scissors had detected a paragraph at this point, possibly carrying more details of the aeroplane 's construction. These flying whales have greater speed, more bomb-carrying capacity and quicker action than any other bi planes in Europe, officers at the Ger man aviation camp told us. The one I saw was not large. The Germans have other aeroplanes much larger, equipped with two motors and carry ing three or four persons, but for pur poses of combat the "flying whales'' cannot be equaled, even by the famous French Nieuport machines. mi m, 1 PEACE, lk GOVERNMENT ISSUES SETS OFFICIAL COTTON STANDARDS GRECIAN STATESMAN MAY HEAD REVOLT, IS REPORT. and v PROSPERITY OCTOBER TWELFTH WIL1 BE UNIVERSITY DAY AT THE HILL WILSON PROGRESSIVE Ida Tarbell declares President nils "Moose" Bill Miss Ida Tarbell. the noted autber and editor declares: "President Wil son is the first real Progressive leader using the term in its modwn -bcnse that America has produced," and in comparison she says that Mr. Roose velt "does not and never has really understood what the Progressives were fussing about and there never has been one of them who could tell him so that he can get the idea."

Washington, Sept. 25. To assist in (bringing about more extensive use of the official cotton standards of the U. S., by growers in their sales, the office of markets and rural organization of the United States Department of Agri culture is co-operating in placing in the hands of county agents in the cotton producing sections sets of practical forms of the standard. The forms are finished only after the agents have giv en satisfactory assurances that they will be kept in a place accessible to cotton growers, in the care of a com petent custodian who does not profit directly from trading in cotton. More than 60 sets of the practical forms of standards have already been sent to. county agents. It is expected that more than 100 will be plaeed in this w-ay. Eeach set of the practical forms consist of the nine grades of white cotton. The sets remain the property of the United States govern ment. In arranging for the keeping of the standards in the counties the office of markets and rural organization has approved such agencies as banks, cham bers of commerce, boards of trade, stores whose proprietors do not trade in cotton, etc. The official cotton standards of the United States are used by practically every important spot market and xe change in the south, and it is the de sire of the cotton specialists of the de- NELSON PAGE AT FRONT American Ambassador Visits King of Italy.

London, Sept.. 25 Elip therio Venizelos, the former premier and Cretan statesman, was asked today as to the truth underlying the repeated reports that he is going to Saloniki to put himself at the head of a temporary revolutionary government, and in reply he declared to the Associated Press: "I cannot answer you now. I must wait a brief time yet and see what the government proposes to do before de ciding on the course it would be best to adopt in event Greece does not enter the war. "As I said on August 27, if the king will not hear the voice of the people, we must ourselves devise what it is best to do. I do not know what that will be, but a long continuation of the present situation would be intolerable. Already we have suffered all the agon ies of a disastrous war while remaining neutral. We even have more than an entire army corps of Greeks held prison ers of war in a foreign country, and al ready we have paid the Bulgarians an immense war indemnity, amounting in military equipment, property destroyed and loot of Greek cities occupied to more than $40,000,000. And, finally, we are perhaps on the verge of making now, at last, that war which we have not fought, but have paid for in blood, tears and treasure." "And if Greece does not enter the war?" he was asked. "If the Germano-Bulgaris are suc cessful," replied M. Venizelos, "cer- ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS OF INTEREST partment that the sales and purchases tainly all of Macedonia is lost to u of cotton from the time it leaves the farmers' hands until it reaches these larger markets shall be conducted on the basis of the standards.

I), Jenkins has plan ed to have night school classes for all those, including men and women, who cannot attend the day school. The grades will be from the first to the seventh, and if necessary the eight grade will lie added. These classes will be held three evenings in the week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week, and will commence at such an hour as will be found suitable for those who wish to take advantage of these classes. This is a great innovation and one that should be readily accept able, to all those who work and cannot go to the day school, and also to those grown up boys and girls, and such men and women who have not had the ad vantage of sufficient schooling, that they are deprived of the opportunity of advancement in the world.

The more orthodox mem'bers of this sect will also observe not only Thursday but Friday as well. This custom of observing an addi tional holiday, in connection with all the more important Jewish holidays, grows out of complex conditions in the calendation of early rabbinical times, and the practice established then, has been continued to the present time, al though the original reason no longer obtains.
