The meeting gave no voice to the suggestions, the] superintendent merely placing them be-, fore the teachers for thein considera tion. In an effort to curtail school ex penditures, one of the plans suggested ■1 calls for a six-day school week, the _,|e»chers continuing at their posts at the same salaries now in force/ Under this proposal, an eight-months school would be made possible in seven months time, effecting a saving of one months salary and current expenses for that month. A second suggestion would have all expenses proportionately cut including salaries throughout the system, it is understood. While no definite action has been taken, it is understood that the two proposals are in line for later consider ation. Rev. C. H. Dickey, of the local Baptist church, in leading the devotion al exercises, made ait interesting talk on "The Glorification of the Small Town."

REMINISENCES OF OLD TIMES ♦ Earned Only 50 Cents Per Day But Reared 9 Children In a conversation with* • Julius Hardisott, noted character and farmer of Williams township, offered, a few days ago, a comparison of the times as he saw them in his early youth and as he sees them now. He related a numfifer of the draw backs the automobile has brought to the country, the elderly gentleman 'mentioning the heavy cost and the moral breakdown. He gives the auto mobile credit for many things, how ever. He said he saw a man hauling tweleve tons of fertilizer a few days ago from Williamston to Roper on one truck in thrte trips, a distance of 30 miles. "It used to take me a whole ' day to haul three bags of fertilizer with a steer and cajt to my home, ten miles away," l\e stateTt Speaking of hard times, he stated that he raised nine children by work ing for 50 cents a day excepting those ] times when he worked in tltt log woods •and received 75 cents for a day's work.. |"I got up an hour before the crack of (day and generally worked until dark," he stated in explaining what a day meant at that time. He says times are not so unfavorable now. but that he was finding it a bit hard to pay taxes. f.

LEGIONNAIRES IN INTERESTING ' MEET MONDAY m Thirty Ex-Service Men Are Now Enrolled In The Local Post • - F. D. WINSTON SPEAKS ♦ , Arrangements Have Been Made By Commander To Have Speakers Addreaa Men in Future One of the most enthusiastic meet- j ings held here in many months 'was that which American Legion held last night at the local ■ Legion Post 1 ImildinK. Judge Winston was the principal speaker and made a most in teresting speech on the necessity of economy in our every day life. He ! traced the history of the wars of our I nation and told of his acquaintance t with people who were connected with every war since the first war which the ' country had in 1776. The Judge was at bis tvest and his hearers were carried away with the wonderful force of his personality as well %s with the charm I and graciousness of his manner and j with the eloquence and ease of his speech. Mr. Henry Spruill who came over with the Judge told in an informal way of the work that- is being done by the Legiou in Windsor and of the en thusiasm which is. manifested there by the ex-service men in the work of the Legion. Fight new members were added to the Post, bringing up the total of paid member* in the local Post to thirty with ten more who have signified their intention to join which makes a total of forty so far, hut at the rate the men are coming in and the way the men are showing their interest it is confidently predicted that in the course of a few meetings the membership w ill grow to more than a hundred. The Coniunandei made the announcement that he had made arrangements .tor spears Ic. address the meetings and the Honor able Mallet Ward lias consented to speak March 10. He will speak on the economic situation as it pertains to taxation and the production of agricul tural and industrial commodities in this part of the State. Other speakers and subjects will he announced from- time to time and the cx-scivice man haS a treat in store for liitu judging from the subjects which arc to be treated in the speeches of these men. who arc coming in to spcakc at the Legion meetings. Many of the Legion men when seen were most enthusiastic Over the pros pects of the Legion I'ost here and ex pressed thcTiisrlvfs as willing to share the good things which arc to be dis cussed at, the local Post with tilt peo ple of the community who would like ti hear these speakers and familiarize tliimsclvcs with these subjects, and it may be that the Legiou will transfer these meetings to the City Hall to give the people of the community the op portunity to hear these speakers when tliey come" to deliver their inessagW'to the men of the Legion. We feel that every ex-service man should connect himself with this or ganization as it will_men a great deal to him to associate himself with his brothers of the service and will help to make the Legion a greater power in the way of more adequately taking care of the men who need the help because of the service which they gave and which took their health pftentimes mental as well as physical and who need all the help and support which the Legion is striving to give to every unfortunate Comrade. There are nearly a thousand ex scrvice men in Martin county.and if these men can be made to feel the im portance of their connecting them selves with this great, organization it will bring them into touch with the I work which the Legion is doing all over the United States for their benefit and will make them feel that they are once more shoulder to shoulder with their Comrades but now in bringing peace and good will instead of ' war and helping in every way that can to contribute to the well being of every ex-service man whe/eever he may be found in the' State or Nation.—Report ed. * * 1 —*•—— ~ ' ; SPEAKS BEFORE MASONS HERE High Priest of the Grand Chapter Stresses Im portance of Work W.

Many applications have been filed for the birds, it was stated.' RESULTS DO NOT JUSTIFY COST IN RUINED TIMBER District Forester L. A. Car ter Gets Answers To Recent Queries One of the most used arguments in favor of the annual burning over of our forests or woodlands has been that to do so would materially aid in the control of the boll weevil. The division of forestry of the Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment has always said that this argu ment was basically wrong, in that the vast majority of boll weevils that live through the winter do not hibernate in the woods. lffbrder to settle this argument an inquiry was sent to a number of county farm agents and to the man who heads the United States Depart ment of Agriculture's investigation of cotton insects by District Forester L. A. Carter, of Windsor, N. C. The following replies have been re ceived by Mr. Carter and speak for themselves in condemning this prac tice. Mr. b. R. Coad, entomologist in charge of cotton insect investigation for the' United States Department of Agriculture, makes this statement: "This department has never recom mended the widespread burning over of woodland as a weevil control measure, since we- are sure that this would do more harm than good. Most weevil hibernation is confined to the margins adjoining cotton fields, that is, within 50 to 100 feet or so, and here the greatest benefit can, be de rived from burning out ditch banks, hedge rows, and similar places of dense growth." Mr. Zeno Moore, county agent at large, of Edgecombe County, "If all the evidence could be presented to an impartial jury, I think that the dam age that the boll weevil has wrought in the northeastern part of North Carolina has been greater as affect ing our woodlands than has that done to the cotton crop, would "be the ver dict. . "Some have claimed to think that burning the woods would destroy the weevil. Does it break the seed of other insects? Of course, to burn a barn would inconvenience a few rats. Hut, first, can you afford it? Sec ond, would you still be likely to have rats on your farm? This much is sure, when a fire goes through a wooded tract, it is destructive to nat ural insect enemies, including young birds, terrapins, and ethers. No need to say more." J. B. Britt, county farm agent of Halifax County: "I am glad indeed to make a statement as to the burn ing of woods to destroy the weevil. Only wish I could make it strong, enough that the idea would be for ever obliterated front the minds of landowners that burning woods de stroy the boll weevils. It is true that there' are a few destroyed, yet there are sufficient left in other places to do serious damage to CQtton, and what few are destroyed will not make any difference to Cotton production. What if there were quite a few destroyed by fire ? There is no economy in saving a few cents' Worth of cotton and de stroying several dollars' worth of timber. A fire retards the growth of | timber from two to eight years, de pending upon the amount of coverfng | that i» on the ground and age of the ! trees at the time of the Are. This is true, to say nothing of young trees that are killed outright. Burning the woods to destroy the weevil reminds j me of the old saying, 'Penny wise and dollar foolish.' If this is the only way that we are able to grow cotton, East ern North Carolina will have more money in it at the end of 20 years if the' fSntTers will let their "cotlonTlelds grow up in pines and keep the fires out than to burn the woods and grow one-half bale of cotton per acre. I know thut this Idea has been advo cated by some of our department men irf the past, but I hope that they, too, have seen the error, and are willing to let trees grow into dollars, forget ting a few cents that might be made on cotton by burning our forests." B. E. Grant, county farm agent of Bertie County: "I wish to advise that woods burning for boll weevil is not advised by leading authorities on boll weevil, «nd Is not, under any circum stances ,to be recommended. "While some weevils may be de stroyed through woods burning, this will not give effective control of them and the damage to our timber lands | would be far greater than the bene i fits secured." The Woman's Auxiliary of the' Epis copal church will give a card party at the Woman's Club from 8 to 11:30 o'- clock Friday night, February 28th. Progressive bridge will be played.
