XCENDAlG THE ; FRONT
WSaVGAWST- MALARIA
North Carolina will soon begin an
organized effort to eradicate malaria
in the eastern section of the State.
In certain sections of the State it
has been found impracticable to
drain the lowlands and in order to
do away with malaria it has been
found feasible to resort to the use of
quinine.
The next legislature will be asked
to appropriate a sum of money suf
ficient to make this fight against ma
laria worth whole.
Despite the economic depression
which hit the Southern States with
extreme severity, the fight agains
malaria was maintained and steadily
extended. .
"During the year 1921 a major at
tack against malaria has been opened
along ; the entire front, including
town, village and the open country.
The unit of operations is the county.
Malaria Control is undertakken as a
part of the permanent county health
scheme; is supported by State,
county and local funds; and is under
the direction of the county health
officer.
i "All available measures are em
ployed, each receiving emphasis -ac-j
coeding to local conditions. In Ala
bama, where an energetic sanitary
engineer ia cooperating with the
health officers in a group of five
counties, mosquito control is being
extended to rural communities. The
top minnow is the principal agent
here. The farmers are maintaining
minnow ponds from which mosquito
breeding waters may be easily stock
ed with fish. In the Mississippi delta
on the other hand, where mosquito
control is less feasible, anti-mosquito
measures are not neglected where
conditions favor but greater em
phasis i3 being placed on sterilizing
quinine treatment. In all counties
where the work has been undertaken
the people are being taught to screen
their houses as protection .against
flies and mosquitoes. The standard
quinine treatment for those who
have malaria is provided at conven
ient points and its use is being stim
ulated by systematic education. This
county-wide effort is being as a elow,
steady campaign to be continued
ever a period of years."
The Santa Fe switchmen have join
ed the trainmen in protests against
working under guards and the situa
tion at Santa Fe, Needles, Barstow
and other California points are ag
gravated when the entire yard force
at Fresno left their posts notifying
the company that they would refuse
to return until the guards are '.re-moved.-

WHAT MRt HOLDERNESS
V "' ' THINKS. . ...
In a speech last Saturday before
the farmers of Nash County at Nash
ville Mr. George' A. Holderness told
the farmers what he thought of the
Cooperative system of selling farm
products. '
The Nashville Graphic has this to
say of Mr. Holderness' speech:
"It is to be regretted that a larger
number" of Nash county farmers did
not avail themselves of the oppor
tunity Tto hear two splended speeches
on cooperative marketing Saturday,
when Mr. George Holderness, of Tar
boro, and Major W. T. Joyner, of
Ruleigh, spoke' in the court house

Report of farm dp monstratiort
work in Edgecombe county for the
month of July, 1922.
Reverting again to the demonstra
tions .'infeeding, and cooperative
marketing of hogs, I beg to offer as
part of this report, Farmers' Market
ing Bulletin, pages 1 to 5 inclusive,
giving details . of feed cost per hun
dred popr.ds of gain, etc., as to the
shipment that has gone forward. The
other hogs have been weighed again
this month, and will likely be ship
ped about the middle of the month.
During the month I have prescribed
treatment fi-r- sorehead, i-i three
flocks of chickers, i-n-i!, head.
Of these only three .wre ie . ,:.'e'
treatment. Normal loss, 'v'.en no.
treated runs from 40 to 60 per cent
Considerable time this month has
been given assembling arid selling
farmers, wool, throuh a pool. We as
sembled 8,100 pounds and sold at an
average price slightly above 33 cents.
The grading was done by a govern-
ment grader, and was accepted by
the buyer without question.
I attended instruction meeting for
agents at Wilmington, July 12, 13,
14. . At that meeting boll weevil
formed the real back ground for all
subjects presented. It is now really
serious in Bladen, Robeson, Cumber
land and Harnett counties. Colum
bia, Brunswick, Craven and Jones
are now about out of the cotton busi
ness. The hen, the hog and the cow
seem to be the three principal things
relied on to take the place of cotton.
It is no boast to say that 'informa
tion, about the hog feeding work, the
seed . improvement) work of Edge
combe county, and that of oats
planted at last cultivation of . cotton
have received very generous con
sideration beyond the borders of the
State.'
Numerous inquiries of a purely ad
visory nature, such as what can I
plant now? where can I get seed? is
it too late to apply fertilizer, etc
Respectfully submitted.

PRESIDENT, HARDING TAKES
A HAND IN SENATE FIGHT
'-.:"'
Washington, Aug. 11. President
Harding today intervened today in
the Senate fight over flexible tariff
provisions. , Outlining to senators
summoned to White use desirability
of elasticity in tariff during the pres
ent world conditions.
With but a few exceptions the
entire membership of the Kiwanians
was present last ;night -at the regu
lar monthly nweti uip. This session
was opened with the son "America,'
that made-the hall ring.
Just after the song the members
were asked to take their seats at the
table, .where. -a most elegant supper,
fried chicken, rice and potatoes, hoi
rolls and iced toft followed by ice
cream and cake 'was served. During
the supper two beautiful duetts were
sung by Mrs. I'arrar and Miss Gatty
Cherry.
Kiwanian Bourne started the fun
to rolling when he solemnly arose
a d ' suggested that the Kiwanians
. .,i st to the Tarboro - graded
.- ,'hools the installation of a new de
partment to be .known as domestic
science for the- training new hus
bands. Mr. Bourii. .ced some
veiy awful things that he said had
recently happened but to repeat them
in public might cause family dis
turbances and so the Southerner will
refrain from any further -explanations..
However, a committee was ap
pointed to really 'go-before the" school
trustees and on that committee were
Kiwanians Bond, Peters, Sledge and
Bourne himself was added.
Mr. Bond got off the new discov
ery stunt to the fun of all present.
Kiwanian Beck had charge of the
night's stunts and he announced the
prizes that were to be drawn for. An
automobile .givvi Jy Milton .Brown.
It took three men to pull it in the
hall and the rope that was, grabbed
by Kiwanians -Pender, Sledge . and
Brown was a big one, a two-inch
hemp rope. To keep it from run
ning on its own power it wasfirmly
tied to one f the. tables. The sec
ond prize ws offered by Kiwanian
Boykin ' waa a real big barrel of
(lour and nofoolishness about it, lot
it was the-'.lreal goods. The third
prize offered by Kiwanian Beck, was
a bolt of real cloth from, the-Hart
Mills. . .-'
Kiwanian Shook won the ear ;
Kiwanian MeGhee won the (lour, and
Kiwanian Fountain won the bolt of
cloth. The two dwtinjruishod elocu
tionists, . Kiwanians Jacocks and
Brown, covered themselves with
glory in their recitation of a duett.
Uiui,?r the head of real business,
Kiwanian Hayncs suggested that
signs bo placed at the cross roads in
the county and elsewhere to adver
tise the town. This was referred to
a committee to report back at the
next meeting.
The orchestra, composed of the
follov.ing: Miss .'. . Anne' Elizabeth
Johnson, Messrs. Paul McCabe,
George Pennington, W. L. Bell, C,
P. McClure arid Erwin Morris, added
greatly to the enjoyment of the eve
ning. Just as the town clock struck
eight,: one hour after the opening
exactly, Kiwanian U instead declared
the meeting adjourned.

BUILDING REVIVAL
IN CHICAGO'S LOOP
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. Despite cf
forts of commercial and civic organ
izations fighting the congestion with
in the iron 'circle of the 'union loop,
that historic center of Chicago is en
joying an unprecedented building
boom. The boom, however, is not at
the expense of the outlying sections
snd it Js most noticeable on the very
fringe of the elevated railway circle.
Thrcij great "schemes" are held
responsible for the most noteworthy
building ventures near the heart of
the city. They are the South Water
street plan, which will change the
famed fruit and vegetable market
into a double decked thoroughfare
with the upper' level devoted exclu
sively to motor traffic; the Union
Station , plan, and the Grant Park
plan. . ;
From the contents of the petition
published below it will be seen that,
the business 'men ' and citizens of
Macclesfield are trnjng after business
for their town. They have agreed
among themselves to work for a re
ceiving station for cotton to be
placed in Maccle.-'lield.
There is not a tobacco warehouse
in Macclofield but much cotton. is
marketed every year at this point
and the people of -the town are
striving to have this point designated
as a receiving station. They are not
only working for a station but they
have obligated themselves to go into
tho 'field and induce their friends, in
the rural sections to sign those cot
ton contracts.

IN MEMORY,
In loving memory of our dear hus
band and father, Willie Fryer, who
departed this life August 7, 1021.
Just one year ago our Saviour
Sent an angel from his throne
And took our loved one,
To rest with Him at home.
The moon and stars are shining
Upon your silent grave,
Where rests from all cares
The one we could not save.
Our home is sad and lonely
Without your smiling face:
No one can fill your vacant chair,
And no one can fill your place.
Yes, we miss you so, dear lather;
Miss your dear and loving smile,
But God saw fit to take you,
When on earth you'spent a while.
And now our circle ia broken,
And parting fill our hearts with
pain;
You are gone but not forgotten
We will always think of you.
