(By George H. Manning).
Washingtno, D. C, March 2S. Com
ities where -war activities have
greatly increased the number of -work
rrs an d made the housing facilities
inadequate are advised in a state'
ment issued by Otto M. Eidlitz, direc
tor of housing and transportation of
the Department of Labor, today, that
so far as possible the local interests
should take steps towards sheltering
the men and not rely entirely upon
the government to furnish houses.
Mr. Eidlitz, who is in charge of the
'plans for housing the workers tor
the government, sounds a warntn
that no additional contracts for gov
ernment war work may be given to
manufacturers In localities where the
employes already there are unable to
find shelter.
It is quite reasonable for the gov
srnment to expect that communities
which are benefitting by having gov
eminent contracts placed among their
manufacturers and by reason of an
increased population spending their
earnings in that locality, will make
an effort to provide housing facilities
and not depend fttirely upon govern
ment aid, Mr. Eidlitz asserts.
As means of relieving the housing
situation he suggests that people who
have never before taken in hoarders
now open up their homes to the work-,
ers; that available .houses or institu
tions be converted into shelters for
(hem. and that the transportation fa
cilities to out-lying districts be im
proved so that large numbers of
the workers can go and come from
homes at a distance.
The statement of the Director of
.Housing reads as follows:
"It is a matter of much concern to
all governmental departments inter
ested in housing that the various
communities are getting a wrong idea
as to the intent of the government in
-connection with relieving the de
mands for housing in certain local
ities. Communities should realize
that due to the high cost of build in j?
materials and labor, housing general
ly throughout the IJnited States has
been inadequate to meeljBven the nor
mal growth of the various localities,
and of course the introduction of war
work has accentuated this situation.
However, it must be remembered that
our situation is an emergency one,
and that a community must do its ut
most in the way of providing houses
for industrial workers engaged in war
work through inducing those who did
not formerly take in boarders to open
their homes during this war emer
. gency, to these war workers.
"Purthermore,if there are any avail
able houses or' institutions which
could be readily . converted into rea
sonable houses for workers, thi3
should be done.
"Again, if workers can be induced
to eome from outlying towns and
hamlets, and transportation can be
improved to enable these workers to
reach the industrial plants in the lo
calities effected, this method should
be employed. It may happen that a
reasonable amount of temporary
buildings may be introduced to meet
the emergency and take the peak
load.
"In any event, new houses should
not be considered until every -other
means has been exhausted.
"It is also of vital importance to
.determine whether the products of
the particular locality are immediate
ly needed in the war program, and the
order of importance. From all of
which it must be realized that every
community that can take care of it
self should make every effort to do so
before seeking government aid, es
pecially as the demand is much great
er than the funds provided to meet
It.
If a community is benefitting
through the fact that war orders are
being placed amongst its manufactur
ers, and indirectly through the fact
that a larffer rmnnlatlnn i snonilins
, - w Jt "r - - r p
I -M its earnings in that particular commu
IffV.nity, it is not unreasonable to ask
'that the community itself, in this war
emergency, shall make an effort to
help v itself. There is reason to be
lieve that where a community is over
loaded with contracts its chances for
receiving additional governmental
contracts is remote,- as it naturally
wouia oe . useless to offer additional
contracts to a community whose man
ufacturers are already unable to find
housing for their workers."
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Raleigh, March 28. Henry Page is
after the official ring in the Farm
ers' Union and has given out an in
terview which puts squarely up to that
body the question where it stands in
the war. 4
Repeated platitudes by the Union
officials, coupled with advice against
buying Liberty Bonds, moves Mr.
Page to this statement, which he
gave to The Dispatch representative:
"If the administration of the affairs
of the Farmers' Union in North Caro
lina is to remain in the hands of the
socialistic crowd now directing the
publicity department of the, Union in
the publication and distribution of its
official organ, "The Farmers' Union
Bulletin I think the attention of the
patriotic men of this State should be
focused on these men and the harm
fui effects of the work they are doing.
Alexander, president of the Union,
and associate editor of The Bulletin,
is wel lenough known, and I take it
that there will be no serious -.denial
of the statement that he has the rep
utation of being a slacker and an ob
structor of necessary law measures.
Leach, editor of The Bulletin; Den
ham, advertising manager, and Eaires,
I a M a 1 - 1 .l J
secretary or me union, are less wiue-
y known, but in Aberdeen and vicin
ity where they are known .they share
Alexander's reputation. By my stand
ard of measurement they are every
one disloyal to the core. They are
using The Bulletin, the official pub
lication of the Farmers' Union, m
such a way as to hinder necessary
war measures and discourage and dis
suade farmers from cooperating with
tile government in its financial needs
The recent public protest of J. J
Green, organizer of the Union, not
only does Mr. Green great credit, but
what is more important, it should
serve to call attention of the patri
otic members of the Farmers' Union
to the direction in which their em
ployees are bearing the organization
If the Farmers' Union in this State
finds itself unable to change this con
dition of things, in my opinion it is
the duty, as it should be the pleasure,
of every patriotic and loyal member
to withdraw from such an organiza
tion.
"Moreover, the people of the State
generally have the right to know if
the Farmers' Union stands for the
policies and views being promulgated
y these men in the name of the
Union. If so, its final burial in this
State is close at hand or I am badly
mistaken in the temper of my fellow-
citizens."

Greeted by Germans, But
Esthoniana Treated Him
Cooly
Moscow, Monday, March 25.
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother o
the German emperor, and one of his
sons have arrived at Ravel, Esthonia
They were greeted heartily by the
German population but the Esthon
ians refused to participate in the re
ception. The visit is attributed to a
desire to create pro-German feeling
in the Baltie provinces.
The Germans are busy collecting
and exporting breadstuff from the
Pskov district, northeast of Dvinsk
At Perchorskaya, near Pskov, 40 mem
bers of German detachments requ
aitioning bread were killed by the
peasants. Bridges were destroyed by
the peasants who also harrassed the
Germans by carrying away the bread
and destroying carts and wagons
The Germans tricked many of the
peasants into Pskov by announcin
they had an abundance of bread and
sugar which would be sold cheaply
me Liermans seized tne carts and
horses of the peasants, but sold p
food.
A Bolshevik supreme war counci
has been formed to take charge
army organization. Leon Trotzky has
been appointed chairman of the court
cil. Agents are being sent from Mos
cow into all the provinces to organize
the peasants to supplement the efforts
of the city workmen in opposing the
Germans, Volunteers will be called
fer after whicb local committees wil
prepare lists of men refusing to volun
teer and will post them publicly. To
Ml shirkers will be denied the right
to participate in public affairs.

AWAirWORLD'S END
Many Believe That Gabriel is
Due This Week Walter
Duffy Dead
New Bern, March 28.---According to
the belief of a number of the colored
esidents of New Bern, the world will
cease to spin around on its axis on
next Friday, which happens to be
Good Friday, and along with the ar
rival of Gabriel and his trumpet the
war and, in fact, all other things,
will come to an end.
Just who started the rumor that
the day of judgment is near at hand
is not known, but it has gained much
notoriety among a certain element of
the colored population of this city and
also at James City, just across Trent
river from New Bern, and scores of
them are literally scared stiff.
One old colored man who has pass
ed through two wars and is now get
ting a long distance view o.f another,
stated today that the signs for the ar
rival of Gabriel next Friday morning
were good and that when he came, if
he did, that he would be in readiness
for him.
There is genuine regret in Eastern
North Carolina over the death of Mr
Walter Duffy, clerk of the local Unit
ed States Court, which occurred late
Saturday afternoon at a local hospi
tal. followiner an illness of several
days duration.
Mr. Duffy was preceeded to the
grave by only a few weeks by his
wife, who succumbed to an attack
of pneumonia, and that, in a way, is
held responsible for his death, as he
told friends that he was despondent
and felt that life now was not worth
the effort.
The funeral service was conducted
from Christ Episcopal church Sunday
afternoon and the interment was
made in Cedar Grove cemetery and
the profusion of beautiful floral trib
utes attested the high esteem m
which the deceased was held by all
who knew him.
Hon. Charles L. Abernethy, candi
date for Congress from the Third
North Carolina Congresisonal District
has gone for a campaign through
several of the nearby counties. Mr
Abernethy returned Sunday from
a trip through the upper part of
the district, and in an interview
given out before his departure he
stated that he had every assurance
that he would be given hearty support.
Mr. Abernethy seems to be the only
candidate in the field for this office
and in his statement he declared that
it appeared as though he would be the
only one in the race.
Democratic voters down in this sec
tion, according to the candidate, think
that he will make an excellent man
for the office and hundreds of them
have promised to stand by him and tq
do tneir best to put him m the office
Much interest is being manifest in
the township commencement which is
to be held at Vanceboro on March 29
and in which all of the public schools
of the county will take part, and it
is believed that there will be hun
dreds of visitors on hand at that time
to take part in the exercises.
This commencement is always an
event of note for the people of that
section and in past years there has
been standing room only in the build
mg In which the commencement exer
cises were held.
Several well known educators are
to be on hand to make addresses and
these are expected to add much to
the interest of the occasion.

X
m The prompt and positive action of this
simple, inexpensive home-made remedy
in quickly healinjr the inflamed or swollen
membranes of the throat, chest or bron
chial tubes and breaking up tight
coughs, has caused it to be used in more
homes than anv other cough remedy.
Under its healing, soothing influence,
chest soreness goes, phlegm loosenS,
breathing becomes easier, tickling in
throat stops and vou get a good night's
restful sleep. The usual throat and
chest colds are conquered by it in 24
hours or leas. Nothing better for bron
chitis, hoarseness, croup, whooping
cough, bronchial ' asthma or winter
coughs.
To make this splendid cough syrup,
pour 2'i ounces of Pinex (60 canjts
worth), into a pint bottle and flll.tho
bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup
and shake thoroughly. You then have
a full pint a family supply of a much
better cough syrup than you could buy
leady-made for $2,50. Keeps perfectly
and children love its pleasant taste.
Pinex Is a special and highly concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extraeti and is known the world
over for its promptness, ease and cer
tainty in overcoming stubborn coughs
and chest colds.
To avoid disappointment "ask our
druggist for "ZV-i ounces of Pinex' with
full directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute
satisfaction or money promptly refunded.

tbe blades and are left in the middles between the rows. In doincr this the vpper
blades more just above the surface of the ground ud act like fenders. No other

When plants become too large for cultivating astride the row a short Blade is
attached on the right to throw the fine mulch prepared by previous cultivations
to the roots of tbe growing plant. In this ease the Piow Foot is replaced and tbe
long Blade on the left destroys all weeds and further pulverises the soil between the
rows. Note that the upper Blades are taken off for this work. As all trash and
clods have been removed from the proximity of the plants by the previous cultiva
tions astride the row nothing ts now left within reach of the short Blade but a fine
dust mulch which is thrown to the roots. The cjods and trash previously thrown
to the middles now slip over the Blade without leaving their place in tbe center be
tween tbe rows.
Directions fer Operating Fig. 4
For late "cultivation, to keep down the final growth of weeds and vines, and to
break the hard crust forming after rains, only the Ions? .lower Blades are used.
These Blades move parallel to and above the roots of the crop, which toward ma
turity come close to the surface. The Cultivator Blades do not injure ttfese roots
although completely destroying all grass, weeds and vines. Other cultivators run
across the crop roots and deep enough to destroy many of them, making late cult
vation with such tools impossible. When erop roots are damaged the energy of the
, plant is devoted to restoring such roots before further developlirg either stalk or
fruit. It is late cultivation which gives tfcat final " complete maturity to the crop
so necessary to a maximum yield.
