ception was given Lloyd

He declared Bonar Law's
-watchword of "tranquility"
'was not policy but a yawn.

dates to fulfill his threat to
spread war against the Con

PROHIBITION IN ICELAND
IS CALLED MERE SHAM
Copenhagen, Nov. 4 (By The As
sociated Press) Prohibition In Ice
land has gradually come to be a
mere sham, according to the Lord
Mayor Zimsen, of Reykjavik, the
chief city of the Island.
In an Interview the Lord Mayor Is
quoted as saying:
"Iceland is no longer a prohibition
country. Wines of 21 per cent alco
liol may now be brought In. Al
though the Spanish commercial
treaty, which provides for the Im
portation of wines, is unpopular with
many people as having killed prohi
bition, It Is only fair to mention that
the prohibition, act worked satisfac
torily only the first two years. Af
terwards smuggling and home-brew-.
Ing practically made the law non
xistent." VENI2ELOS HAD VERY
MYSTERIOUS SECRETARY
London, Nov. 4 (By The Associ
ated Press) M. Venlzelos, former
Greek premier, who is Just now very
much in the public eye and Is some
thing of a mystery to the British pub
lic, has an equally mysterious young
secretary, a tall dark youth named
Andrea Constantino Mlchelopoulos.
He was an undergraduate at Orhl
College, Oxford, until a few montlis
ago, always Immaculately dressed
and a brilliant scholar. His studies,
"however, did not prevent his partici
pation In politics, and he frequently
obtained permission to spend a night
away from college ostensibly on do
mestic affairs. It has since transpir
ed, however, that such trips included
flying to Paris by aeroplane and re
turning the following day.
Mlchelopoulos left Oxford a few
weeks before the Tlno coup, but ar
rived in Greece only In timo to es
cape on board Venlzelos private
yacht. Before coming to Oxford he
had been civil governor of Lemnos,
prefect of Eastern Macedonl, and
had served in the Creek Army.

Elizabeth City High
Defeats Great Bridge
The game was a one-sided affair,
and interest could not be maintained
inter-scholastic game of the season
by the score of 48 to 0.
The game was a one-sided affair.
and interest could not be maintained
after the first few minutes of play,
The visitors lacked spirit, and made
only two or three first downs in the
whole game.
The main feature of interest was
the way Elizabeth City walked over
the visiting aggregation. Prospects
seem bright for a highly successful
season.
From one standpoint Elizabeth City
had hard luck. Despite the one
Bidedness of the game and the ease
with which Elizabeth City carried
everything its own way, one of the
players, Zack Owens, suffered a
broken collar bone.

Kiwanians Enjoy
ll?llove'cn Banquet
Dr. Tom plenum, Speaker Of Evening,
Urges Need Of Playground In
Elizabeth City
The regular luncheon on Friday
night of the Kiwanis Club turned out
to be their celebration of the Hal
lowe'en season as well.
The banquet room of the Southern
Hotel was very tastefully decorated
with a myriad of paper pumpkins and
black cats. The lights were sub
dued by paper coverings. In the
center of the floor stood the caldron
of the witches, a very large kettle
hung on plow chains from a tripod
of weather beaten boughs appearing
to simmer over a glowing
fire of wood coals. Placed upon the
top of the tripod was the large illum
inated insigna of the Ktwanls Club,
the big drumwlth the "K" in It.
The meeting was opened with a
vociferous rendition of the hymn,
"America," followed by the invoca
tion by a special guest, Dr. Temple
man. The evening was filled with
stunts and music, most of the music
being furnished by the quartet com
posed of Fatty Blades, Harry Kra
mer, Roy Simmons and "Long Dis
tance" Woodley.
Two new members were admitted
to the Kiwanis Club, E. L. Sawyer,
clerk of the court, and A. B. Combs,
principal of the High School. E. L.
Sawyer was presented by the club
with a beautiful basket with a hinged
lid that he was instructed to open
before dinner proceeded and when he
did there emerged from that basket
an artificial snake about six feet
long and three inches in diameter.
It was one of the times In his life
when Mr. Sawyer was startled.
The most enjoyable stunt of the
evening was the depleting of the
witches caldron scene from Shakes
peare's Macbeth. The actors swath
ed in sheets marched mournfully
around the caldron while they
chanted Shakespeare's never forgot
ten "Bubble, Bubble, Boiling
Trouble."
The president, upon notifying the
membership that election of officers , jngs secured a yield per acre of 1618

The Humble Youpon

And Spells lis Name
For First Time
"Youpon, packed by the American
i"e i t'oip. ny of Avon, X. (V is the
imposing label on a sum pie package
of this product which Pat and Ray
Twiddy found at the store of J. B.
Flora & Company, wholesalers, one
day, and took to their store on l'o 11
dextrr street us a curiosity.
The pound package is supposed to
sell for 25 cents, but Twiddy's Gro
cery has sold "Youpon" for years in
bulk at ten cents a pound.
Those who weren't boin and bred
here perhaps do not know what
Youpon is. Mr. Twiddy says that he
never saw the word spelled l.jfore
mrt has no idea whether it is spelled
right or wrong. Supposedly it Is an
Indian name and the white people
learned the use of this tea from the
Indians long ago. Many drink it in
stead of tea, because they say it
cheers as well as the regular kind
without inebriating; others drink it
because it Is supposed to possess
medicinal qualities. It is the dried
leaf from a small tree, and Youpon
is much coarser than the tea leaf.
Brewed and Berved to one not fa
miliar with the beverage, it would
appear a kind of inferior tea, that's
all.
After all, why not pack "Youpon"
and sell it for a profit? Other goods
are retailed the same way.
But Mr. Twiddy wonders who will
buy it. He doesn't think the North
ern people are well enough acquaint
ed with it, and he knows the local
trade will prefer it In bulk at ten
cents a pound. '
The Advance has not yet been able
to learn who the American Tea Com
pany of Avon is, but it's an Inter-1
esting story, of which there
doubtless be more to tell later.

Cottcn Dusting Will
Control Boll Weevil
Raleigh, Nov. 4 Demonstrations
conducted in Scotland County by the
Division of Entomology of theAgri
cultural Experiment Station show
that the boll weevil can be controlled
by dusting with calcium arsenate,
reports Mr. Franklin Sherman, Mr.
Sherman finds that where instruc
tions given by the field members of
his organization were closely follow
ed good yields of seed cotton were
secured.
One of the cooperating farmers
making the test was Z. V. Pate who
dusted b!x times. From these
pickings, Mr. Pate secured 1883
pounds of seed cotton per acre
against 1481 pounds from the acre
not dusted. This was a gain of
402 pounds per acre with a value of
$40.20 for the long staple cotton
grown. J. M. Gibson dusted his
cotton four times and the result of
his first packing showed 424 pounds
from the dusted area against
260 pounds from the undust
ed. Mr. Gibson has not made his
final report but this gain of 162
pounds from the first picking of his
short staple cotton has a value of
$11.48.
William McKenzIe dusted his
cotton five times and from three pick-
pickings reported.

ping center of Kensington in the spa
cious grounds of the Holland House,
retired admirals and generals, gov
ernment officials, American visitors,

A company, recently formed, has
acquired the property and made it
into an "all weather" practice
course with greens, bunkers, and a
series of nets which measure the
length of the drive. Cumberland
turf has been provided for a perfect
putting lawn and four professionals
are kept busy all the time with their
variegated assortment of pupils.
The golf school has proved a popu
lar institution and there Is a steady
stream of pupils from dawn until
sundown. It Is even planned to In
stall high powered electric lights in
order to allow the city men to play
after dark. More than 2,400 golf
balls are used daily, and so great Is
the demand fof the use of the

Further extensions of the school's fa

American Cranks
Arc Greatly In Lead
They Tell League Of Nations What
To Do KegardlesM Of Nation's
Non Menibei'Nhlp
Geneva, Nov. 4 (By The Associ
ated Press) The general offices of
the League of Nations receive daily
an enormous number of letters from
pretty well all over the world, and
In these contributions the crank U
well represented. The mail clerks
are busy individuals, for theirs is the
duty of sorting and redirecting.
Countries outside the League pro
duce the largest number of corre
spondents. The United States is far
in the lead, and the cranks in Amer
ica who feel called upon to tell the
League what it should do are seem
ingly without number.
But Germany and Soviet Russia
also aid generously In keeping the
mail clerks occupied. Africans and
Asiatics, as well as Europeans and
Americans, find the most extraordin
ary excuses for communicating with
the League, showing there Is a
world-wide misconception as to what
the League is and what it was set up
to do.
The secretariat gets a vast amount
of mail matter that ought to go to
the foreign offices of different gov
ernments, and it receives also a
greater number of suggestions, ap
plications and petitions that ought to
go nowhere. Men and women bring
to the League in all languages of
the world their heart-aches, their
head-aches and the aching voids in
their pocket books. The secretariat
is asked for the addresses of reliable
doctors; begged to find lost husbands
and appealed to to settle domestic as
well as other quarrels. The requests
for funds come along in a steady
stream. The League has not even
been immune from the begullementa
of the confidence men, several Am
ericans of this species having tried to
use the secretariat to help them out
with their passport troubIes.
Among the most frequent appeals
are these: that the League make the
world bone dry, that it suppress
tobacco as well as all drugs and
drinks; that It institute a universal
religion; that It reform the calendar;
that it adopt a universal language;
and that It give votes to women the
world over.
The suggestions are mostly for
the cure of the world's economic and
financial Ills, but some correspond
ents want to show the League how
universal peace can be restored
through the general adoption of their
particular religion, want to design a
new world flag, or make the League
all over again after their fashion.
The League is often asked to
settle strikes and to pacify divided
families.
The latest curious demand was
from a romancer who wanted ma
terial to write an exciting novel
about the League; he was referred tcv
the Near East section.
