FERTILIZE GARDENS
WITH WOOD ASHES
"The town families of North Caro
lina art throwing aVty thousands c
dollars a ye..r through Choir failure
to utilize p.s fertilizer for ihur gar
dens the wood ashes from their fire
places and kitchen stoves," remarked
Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Pro

Live-at-home Campaign ari the eco
nomic necessity for increased food
production in North Carolina. "\
ashes contain valuable elements nec
essary for plant giowth, being par
ticularly strong in potash. 1 began
suiting my ashes on my garden a few
years ago a id the results hi.vo been
remarkable. Town families which
have no garden should offer their
ashes to neighbors who do have gar
dens.
"Another valuable asset for tht
town gardener ia louna in leaves
Wiuch toa often aie raked up and
burned after they fall in early winter.
They should never be burned but piled
up to rot for use in the garden. They
not only add valuable humus to the
soil but rre worth practically as much
a.: an equal weight of manure for fer
t lizer. The destruction of leaves and
tlie failure to utilibe wood ashes foi
manure constitute an economic waste
of no smal lproportions. The utili
zation of these things woald add thouh
amis of dollars a year to the value of
our town gardens." -

PEOPLE SHOULD GET
TOGETHER ON THIS
Raleigh, April 24.—Many countieiJ
in North Carolina will And food fofj
thought in an analysis of the survey
recently made in Craven county of
which New Bern is the county seat,
of the food and feed products Import
ed into that county in 1921. A total
of nearly $3,000,000 was sent out of
this county for food and food products.
Of that amount $1,116,000 was repre
sented by purchases of feed stuffs in
cluding- hay, corn oats meal und
chops produced by farmers of other
states, shipped hundreds of miles, and
sold at a profit through two or three
dealers.
A total of 11,100,000 was spent for
ham; bacon; beef; lard; poultry and
eggs. Another slo.',ooo went for but
ter and cheese ar.d canned milk.
While a similar sum was spent for
canned vegetables and fruits and tin
ned meats. Fifty thousand was spent
for Imported syrup.
There is not an agricultural leader
in North Carolina who will agree that
hay and other feed-stuffs con be im
ported into North Carolina at any
thing like the cost of production at
home. Most of them agree that hay
particularly can bt grown in most
sections of the state at half the re
tail price of the imported product—
and yet North Carolina is wending to
other sections, and putting into the
pockets of dealers and railroads, be
tween 60 and 76 million dollars u
year for these products.
DIES FROM WOUND RECEIVEI.
58 YEARS AGO
Mr. William li. Standi, one of Beau
fort county's leading citizens died at
his home on his farm near Washing
ton Saturday from a minnic ball shot
in him near Richn ond about fifty
eight years ago whin the Confeder
ate Capital was tinder aeige from th
northern army. The ball was shot in
from the front and lodged ; n his back
near the kidney. Complexly curing
up and giving him no trouble, he paid
no attention to it an f worked
ly on his farm. A few weeks ago
the ball seemed to woik loos-) from
its lodgment and pressed aguh st 1
nerw, giving him great pair. Hi
had an X-Ray taken which proved to
him what he had suspected; that it
wus the old bullet causing the troubli
and he insisted on an operation but
his condition seemtd too feeble to
justify same in the opinion of his phy
sicians on account of his advance
age,' he being nearly seventy-eight
years of age.
This proves again that it is hari:
to measure the effects of the acts thai
we do. The man who fired this fata
hsot has doubtless passed to his re
ward years ago.
Mr. Stancil was noted among thost
who knew him for his uprightness an
always coming square with his fellow
man. He was always kind and gentU
to al (creatures high and low.
He was buried r.t Oakdale ceme
tery, Washington, Sunday aftcrnoo
by Kev. Richard Bagby, pastor of th
Christian church at Washington.
He wai active for all improvement,
had served his county as commission
"er and was for many years a leade,
in his church in state meetings a:
well as in his local church.
Mr. Stancil was the uncle of Mrs
A. J. Manning and the father of Misi
Miriam Stancil who was for sorrn
time bookkeeper of the Wiliiamstor
Telephone Company.

quiet, modest and aspires to this of

BE KIND TO DUMD
ANIMALS WEEK
Have you ewr tried to be real
friendly and kind to a horse or a
dog, or a cat?
Perhaps you've Lever taken time to
do so, or maybe it never occurred to
you that the horse you pass shivering
in ihe rain, or the bedraggled cur who
whimpers at you as youp ass has u
heart, and is wishing deep down in
that heart for a friendly put or u kind
word.
The American Humane Association
has set aside this week, April 24 to 21
as "Be Kind to Animals Week," ami
is askng every man, woman and child
n the Unted States to observe this
week according to its intents and pur
poses. All thati s required is kind
ness and if nothing better, to refrain
from unkindness to dumb animals.
President Harding has given his in
dorsement to this movement in the
following words:
"1 am very glad to record by in
dorsement and sympathy with the
movement to secure more humane
treatment to defenseless animal life."
Mayor Albert L. Roper has issued
a proclamation calling on all Norfolk
people to fall in with the movement
here, and think und act more kindly
toward animals for at leaHtone week.
This observance is un annoal affair,
and has come to be more and more a
regular part of the program of hu
mane societies everywhere. The pur
pose of such a movement is to con
centrate attention on animals for one
week,, and thereby get betttr results
than if sporadic effors towards incul
cating kindness toward dumb beasts
were made.
The basis for "lie Kind to Animals
Week" is sound, the Humane Associa
tion feels. 1) ecause a lesson of kind
ness towards animals i. a lesson which
bears its fruit in all the walks of lite.
And humanity is the hope of the world
for prosperity and peace, the officials
of the association declare.
"The bravtst are the tonderest," is
an old maxim tried and proven true,
atid the association gives opportunity
next week for u practcal application
of this motto.
Old Dobbin, slaving faithfully in
front of a delivery cart, knows little
of pleasune in this world, and has not
the reward of another world to look
forward to. Old Bruno, faithful to
the last, has the power of keen re
sentment to a kick or a cuff, or to
a harsh word, for a dog his senses
in some respects as keen as nature
has given man. And even old Tabby
cat, patient and kind by instinct, clear
ly distinguishes the kind from the
harsh word, knows how to bear
antipathy.
If all the animal kingdom had the
reasoning powers that were given to
the human kind, it is likely that thru
out America horses, dogs, cats and
other beasts would be tingling with
anticipation this week, looking for
ward to "Bo Kind Week" as children
look forward to Christmas or to the
closing of school. And the humane
association asks that people regard
beasts in this light—lok upon them
as capable of reasoning for this one
week, if no longer, and give them the
kindness and consideration that is due
from a higher life to a lower.

Road Building Has Been
Commenced In Earnest
NEWS LETTER FROM ' 
THE STATE CAPITAL
(By Maxwell Gorman)
Raleigh, April 24.—1t is pertinent
to refer to the Democratic State Con
vention of last week hh having been
one thing more particularly than any
thing else—it wan emphatically a Wil
son crowd.
Applause had len of a mild charnc
ter and not of a contagious variety
until the temporary president launch
ed out into the broader field of na
tional affairs and uttered the name oJ
Woodrow Wilson, who he declared in
his closing peroation to have been "di
vniely appointed" to meet the gneut
crisis which our people wore called
upon to master during the period oi
the world war.
Every succeeding speaker got the
cue, and when the audience seemed
listless or unresponsive, he had only
to refer in some way to Woodrow Wil
son to get the convention's lung-pew
er again into the running—and u
all took advantage of that early recog
nixed fact
Governor Morrison talked some big
facts and bigger promises an >r.t what
the present state administration is ac
complishing (and there's no doubt a
bout it, either).
Would-be (and may-yet-be) gover
nor Max Gardner talked and told 'em
he wouldn't run tliia time, not being
an easterner—and got a welcome and
glad hand.
Josephus Daniels talked and spread
it on the women (as usual) and gave
'em all the brains man had (if it wat>
a boy's innocent conception of the cre
ation of Eve out of Adam's brain, in
stead of his rib) and would have giv
en the mother parts of man's anat
omy, no doubt, if he had thought it
would have improved their appear
ance and clinched their votes for the
Democratic candidates.
But it was when each of them
brought "the crippled solder at Wash
ington" into the discourse that they
received loudest and most nutcral and
heartfelt applause.
Had that convention been u. kod to
"name the next president" there would
have been but one man thought of—
and who may say that his health may
not be restored ere the next national
convention shall bg called to name
"the next president."
Don't Overproduce This Year
Warning of the danger of an over
production of tobacco, ltichard R. Pat-
I'attersoti, general manager of the leaf
department of the Tobacco Growers'
Cooperative Association, points out
some errors to be avoided by the sev
enty thousand organized growers of
Virginia Carolinas.
"The fundamental means of success
as individuals and an association at
present is to make good tobcco," said
Mr. Patterson.
"This is especially important with
the present small demand for low
grades and the continued world de
mand for medium and higher grade
tobaccos suitable for cigaretts~ pur
pOM*
"The world consumption of bright
flue-cured tobaccos is approximately
400,000,000 pounds a year. You can
seadily se that it is to the advantage
of the association to avoid as fai
as possible n over-production which
would mean that we might have t
carry over the surplus.
"There was produced in 1920 around
600,000,000 pounds of bright bue-eureil
tobaccos in Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia. The
1921 crop, which we have just finished
selling, in round figures, was 426,000,-
000 pounds which brought an aperage
price of $21.40.
"Eastern Carolina produced 126,-
000,000 pounds and the Virginia-Car
olina old belt 186,000,000 pounds.
There waa a great quantity of the
old belt types which sold at a vsrj
low figure, due to the fact that there
was no market for it
"If we hare favorable aeaaons and
the proper care ia taken of the grow
ing crop*, we will not; be placed in
the position of having to disposf of
a large percentage of low-grade typtb
for which there ia acarcely any de
mand." /\

DUMB ANIMAL WEEK.
a !
This wek has been designated "Be
Kind to Animals Wcuk." It'a pur
pose is to teach children and older
people, too, how important it ia to be
kind to dumb animals, anlm«i«
can't talk for themselves. We should
remember that they can see and fast
just as well as human boings. Ws
often over-drive, over-load, under-feed
and under-water our work team. It
is a frequent sight to sea mules with
bleeding shoulders and marks of the
lash with blood oocing from the
streaks.
This treatment of teams is too com
mon In our own county. On public
roads mules are worked that are not
able to work on sccount of bruises and
other causes. Perhaps if the Statute
agaisst cruelty to animals was put in
operation, teams would fare better
and their owners would get more ser
vice. Cruelty always ct.uaea stubborn
ness and when a mule or a horse is
beaten down and becomes stubborn
little work may be expected, which
causes more beating, loss work, and
so on, and soon a worthless hoise or
mule is the result
The Humane Society should have a
traveling representative to go through
the country and se that the peopl
give work teams fair play, just as
automobile inspectors g>> about to look
for license dodgers.
Bo kind to dumb animals sad get
maximum efficiency.
