While the present emergency has been more than met by these good folks yet we feel that since this is house cleaning time many other wo :men of the town may be in position to give bundles. Heretofore we have had no place to store things and hence made frequent calls to meet emergencies. Now we have gotten & room at the county home where these things can be stored and used when needed. If we can get an abundance of things we feel that about two calls a year will be suf ficient, one in the spring and one in the fall. We understand that The prices will be, with the advan tage of exchange with American money, about the same as in Amer ica. The chief increase over the pre war costs of touring Europe will be that of ocean transit, with some in crease in rail transportation. Per sons able to travel de luxe will find their expenses about on a par with the cost of living at the better class hotels in America. The chief points of interest to tourists are expected to be the bat tlefields, and for this persons will find the roads, in France especially, in better conditions even than before the war. The railway trains are run ning on time and are rapidly ap proaching normal. The fee for passport vises for Americans in most countries is $10 and the number of vises for touring remains about the same as during the war, but the French government most housekeepers will likely give hag just lessened somewhat the sev us winter tnmgs in tne spring ana summer things In the fall but we are prepared to handle that since we have a storage room. We have need for anything that can be used in any way even though St may be useless to you. Clothing - of all kinds, for babies, boys and girls, men and women; hats and caps, underwear, outer clothing, shoes and ))ckings, clean white -goods that can be used for rags and bandages in the sick room, bed clotling, etc. In fact there are few things that go into a home that we cannot use. - All you have to do is to-call Mrs. Barrett at 311-J or 130, or Mr. Leonard at 258 or 905, giving your name and house number. If you do not want to be disturbed place tTie bundle on the front porch and it will be -gotten the day you say.

The French will no longer require a card of identity for a tourist remaining in the country less than two months. The requirement for a prefecture of police vise for leaving France has been removed. The passport requirements of the various nations on the continent are said by recent travelers to be much less trying than last year hardly more so than customs formalities of most countries, including the United States. It is desirable, however, for travelers to provide sufficient pass port photographs, for the countries requiring them for the vise applications.

Information to this effect was given at the German embassy following Inquiries as to newspaper reports here that an official request had been made in behalf of Germans for a concession of about 70,000 acres of land in Coahuila.

UNDER DEATH SENTENCE VAUGHN KILLS HIMSELF Tampa, Fla., April 9. Thurston U. Vaughn, arrested here a few days ago for the authorities at Col umbia, S. C, committed suicide in the murderer's cell at the Hillsbor ough county jail here last night. He slashed his throat with a razor, al most severing his head from his body. This sucessful attempt at suicide by Vaughn was the fourth attempt since his arrest Monday at Tampa City where he was assistant principal in a public school and going under the name of T. A. Earl. The man had not admitted that be was Vaughn, but his wife is alleged to have stated to officers here, after the arrest, that her husband was Thurston Vaughn. Vaughn was former superintend ent of the Odd Fellows' State Or phanage at Greenville, S. C. In 1912 he was convicted of the charge of assaulting four young girl inmates of the orphanage. He was sentenced to die December 20, 1912, but be fore that date apparently became in sane and was committed to the State insane asylum for observa tion. He remained there until his es cape September 15, 1919. The wom an who was with lm here is said to have been a nurse in the asylum They came here several months ago and were married in this city.

Kelly Perry Norfolk, Va., April 9. Jack War hop, the diminutive Indian who pitched winning baseball seven years for the New York Yankees and who will manage the Norfolk Tars for the coming season, arrived on the scene early In the week and brought with him about twenty young athletes who will undertake the task of making the 1921 cruise of the Mary Jane one long to be remembered. The turbulent and disastrous cruise of 1920, when no less than three master' pilots fell down on the Job of steering clear of the rocks and shoals, has not been for gotten by Owner C. M. Barry, and this year he is leaving no stone un turned in his efforts to secure a win ning combination to represent Nor folk in the annual pennant chase. In selecting Warhop to manage affairs for him he has, In 4he minds of local fans finally shown that baseball sag acity with which he has always been accredited. Jack has started off well by en gaging the niftiest looking bunch ot rookies it has been our pleasure to look over in many seasons no less than thirty of them showing up for tryouts the majority of whom are embryonic, ot coarse, In stardom, but In the main showing the ear- Yesterday afternoon at 4 p. m. at the Wilson league park it he first game ot the 1921 season was play ed by the Wilson team against the strong aggregation from Toronto ot the International league. The weath er was the most disagreeable feature of the afternoon and not' until the very last moment was it at all cer tain tnat a performance of any kind could be assured. Even then the grounds were wet, and Old Man Jupiter continued to threaten throughout the first seven and half innings, and then He took his turn at bat and scored a home run He hit so hard that the other game had to be called reverting to the seventh Anning when ithe I score stood 2 2, and Wilson had tied one of the best minor league clubs in the country for its first' exhibition of the season. , A great many things could be said of yesterday's game and many need to be said that will have to be left out due to lack of space But the fan who braved tlhe weath er in order to see the Bugs in their first battle was more than repaid for his trouble. It was really a very creditable performance and gives much promise for the future of the Wilson team. Clark has a hustling bunch of youngsters, such a hust ling bunch that the Toronto news scribe attributes to us the very best organization the Toronto team has come in touch with this season. The thing that really is impressive from the local . viewpoint Is the fact that every man on the team is hustling every minute of the time, and it is the hustling ball team that wins ball games. The field was hardly in condition to be played upon and yet the char acter of baseball displayed was worthy of the very best ground Im aginable. The fielding was snappy, the pitching very effective and the few hits gathered by either club were of the hair raising variety. For Toronto the playing of Matthews, Davis and Onslow featured, and in particular did the catch of Davis off the bat of Rasty Walters bring the stands to .their feet. Lindy's catch ot a hard hit drive, Host's one hand stab of a long hit fly, the fielding of Walker and Waitress, and the hitting ot Kost, Walker and Duffy featured. Kost looks good, even better than last year, while the playing of Walker at short would easily brand him a star. The pitch ing was of a very high order on both sides. Quinn allowed but one seraph hit during his four innings on the mound and allowed no runs; hits off Jollff 8 during a Innings, and 3 runs; a hits and 1 run Total 27 3 6 21 9 Wilson Ab. R. H. PO. A.

Miss Tuttle is vis iting all the homes where children have been received, looking after their welfare and making any sug gestions she can. If she finds a child In the wrong environment she re moves the child. She found the chil dren well cared for in this county. Wilson county has sent about ten children to the home and has re ceived about that number. Children are rescued from the most awful cir cumstances in many instances, taken to the home for a few months and then placed In homes where they ' will receive the parental love-that is due them. There have been 1,600 children placed by this society in the 17 years of its exlstende. The home is not a state institution and receives no "aid from' the state. It depends entirely for its support on private subscriptions and appropria tions. All counties In the state are asked to appropriate small amounts. On last Monday Miss Tuttle went be- ' fore the board ot County Commlss loners and presented the cause and , the county gave 1100.00.
