Tribete To Man Who Sav
ed France Tumi Invader
In mi
Paris, Jan. 7.?The body of Marshal
J off re, hero of the marne, rested to
_ day in Les Invaliiles, hall of French
immortals, whose massive dome shelt
ers the bodies or Napoleon and Foch.
Two million Parisians braved the
freezing weather to stand outside
Notre Dame and along the route to
Les Invalides for hours while the
funeral cortege, in somber ceremony,
proceeded from the cathedral to the
temporary resting place of the man
who saved France from the invader
in 1914.
In front of the'Invalides war vet
erans who had suffered wounds while
serving under "Papa" Joffre were
given seats of honor while Senator
Louis Barthou, minister, of war and
personal friend of the marshal, extoll
ed his services to his country.
In an impressive service which the
unostentatious soldier himself might
have vetoed, Marshal Joffre received
the last attentions of the church in
the historic old cathedral of Notre
Dame.
Mme. Joffre sat below the catafal
que, the sun filtering through the
great cathedral windows across her
shoulders in a rainbow of light. The
president of France and the nation's
most distinguished figures were near
her.
The religious service ended, a cor
tege formed, outside the cathedral and
moved slowly through lanes of French
men to the Esplanade of the Invali
des.
The cortege reached the Invalides
a moment before noon and Senator
Louis Barthou, minister of war, de
livered the funeral oration.
Following the oration the marshal's!
body was borne solemnly inside the
Invalides to the Sacristy, not far from
the tomb of Napoleon, where it will
remain temporarily until a mauso
leum to be constructed at his home at
Loureciennes is completed.
Paris, Jan. 5.?Men who fought
Kith Marshal Joffre at the Marne and
^otd.ers- who live the lives they do be
cause-that battle vwef ought and won,

Therr uatt weeping a* the thous
ands, ir?had close together outside
the Ecoie Mflitaire until nine o'clock,
lined up to-take their final glance at
the body ef Marshal Joffre, laid out
on a camp bed in the chapel of the
old military-academy.
Hands folded and holding a cruci
fix, sword repoaing on his cape over
his feet and wearing a single decora
tion, the French military medal, the
body of the marshal was laid out with
ill the simplicity which has marked
his career from the days of the vic
tory at Timbuetoo to death Saturday
in the Hospital St Jean Dedieu.
Tbe body -was dad m the loose
black coat and ohsokte-md penis-af a
colonial general of divMon which was
the rank Joffre held at the battle of
the Marne. On 19 pillows placed a
bout the simple camp bed were his
other 42 decorations and honors. At
?each corner of the bed stood an offic
er;'at the head was another, while at
each corner of the catafalque there
was a mortar, emblematic of trench

Fifth Member of Dunston
Family Dies; (hie Fatality
In Virginia.
fienderson, Jan. 6.?Death in Jubi
lee hospital here about 6 o'clock this
morning of Clarence Dunston, 20,
brought to seven the toll of fatalities
resulting from the freakish cyclone
that struck the western part of War
ren county between 5 and 6 . o'clock
Monday afternoon, moving on into the
edge of Virginia, in the vicinity of;
Boydton.
Dunston was the fifth in the fam
ily of his father, Jim Dunston, who
were victims of the violent wind
storm, four others, the father and
three children, having been filled al
most instantly when their home was
demolished.
A 15-year-old girl at a farm life
school for Negroes at Wise was kill
ed when a falling timber struck her
when the storm demolished a dormi
tory. Mamie Adams, daughter of Prof.
R. H. Adams, instructor in Hender
son Institute, and member of the fac
ulty there, suffered a fractured Tib.
.Sam Allgood, three-year-old son of
Wallace Allgood, was in Jubilee -hos
pital today being treated for a frac
tured '.eg suffered when the Allgood
home was damaged by the storm.
Three other children of Allgood's
were also injured, but less seriously.
Near Boydton, Va., Mrs. Grover
Henderson was killed in the collapse
of a farm house.
The cyclone dipped down into two
counties in North Carolina and one in
Virginia. In addition to the dead and
injured, numerous small houses were
destroyed, trees nprooted and other
damage done, ?
After striking near Yanceyille, pas
well county, where two Negroes were
injured, the topnatjo lifted to swoop
down again near Ridge way, 14 miles
north of Henderson, in Warren coun
ty. It moved in a -northwesterly direc
tion, to the point west of Noriine
where the Dqnston horae was wreck
ed. It then turned northeast toward
Wise, where the school girl, Edna Har
ris, was killed when a dormitory was
wrecked. It is estimated that.a dozen
persons ere injured in the vicinity of
Ridgeway, Wise and Boydton, in ad
dition to the dead

Land Left Over After Cut

Good For Feeds.
Land'left over when the cotton and
tobacco acreage has been properly re
duced this y@er must be pot to some
practical and profitable use.
."We shopld not fail to heed the
warning to reduce the cottop and to
bacco acreage this yepr, but, we must
also remember that diversification
means 4he production of feed crops
for livestock apd thus making the
dairy cow apd other kinds of domes
tice livestock the means of selling
these crops for cash," says . A- C. Kim
rey, dairy extension specialist $t the
State College. "This is the proper way
to think about~ livestock production fat
the great cash crop areas of the
state. It is foolish to think that, a
dairy cow is so miraculous that she
can return a profit to a person who
has some # extra land but who has
neither the inclination nor the will to
feed the cow properly qr milk her
regularly."
It is Mr. Kimrey's opinion that the
dairy cow best fills her place as an
income earner when she is in -the
hands of a family thst lives-on-ita
own land-and makes it a custom to
produce feed and care - for the cow
with their- own Jabormr<at teant gives;

Neither- is.it, necessary fori the-cows
to be in sections where there, iff. a.
ready market for fluid milk- The cot
ton and tobacco belts of -North Caro
lina have few r such - local markets.
However, ;any farmer in these belts
may ship cream to a buttermaking
creamery and feed the skimmilk to
ealves, pigs and poultry. He wfll re
ceive a .good market: price for every
pound of home produced:feed fed to

For the aan-Whd.wmnta: toreduce

GARDEN IN BOX;
*
Cigar Boxes And Kitchen
Window Offer Excellent
Plant Beds.
If: the hotbed cannot be prepared in
time or is unavailable for any reason, -
the early garden may be pushed to a
good start, by using window boxes. A
half dozen cigar boxes will start e
nough plants of cabbage, lettuce, pep
pers or tomatoes for ?he first plant
ings in the average ggrden.
"It is not so important as to how :
the start is made but ft is most fan- *
portant to make the start for an early
garden this year,'' advises B. Mor- i
row, extension horticulturist at State
College. "One of the commendable i
increases in food crops last year was i
by the farm garden or truck patch ;
route and since we hive been called i
upon by the Governor of North Caro
lina to lead the way ^in relieving the j
present economic distress, there is no
Jbetteu-mathod this-byustiq^ibe home -
garden." 1
Mr. MorroW says as soon as the '
young seedlings started in cigar box- .
es have put on their first true leaves, ]
they may be transplanted to larger
boxea, to pots, to the hot bed or opld- ?
frame. A sunny kitchen window
should provide enough space for a
cigar ixa garden. *
As a further -suggestion Mr. Mor
row advises ordering the supply of -
garden seed early in January. If post
poned too long, seed of favorite vari
eties may be exhausted. It is a good. 1
idea to try some of the newer varie- :1
tie3 each year but the horticulturist j
says it is better to stick to the old 1
standard varieties for thp main gar- i
den until such time as the new ones
prove to be better than the old. (
Plan the garden for the whole year, 1
is a third suggestion made by Mr, :
Morrow. It is well to. have down on 1
paper just what will be done with the <
4>1 ot until next Christmas. It is never
possible to follow a plan in detail but '
when one knows how, when and where <
half the battle for a successful farm i
garden is already won,

"thought" hfl heard one of the men

The State will allege that one of
the men was Asa C. Hawkins, 49, pro
hibition agent, almost instantly killed
In an exchange of shots with suppos
ed moonshiners at the spot indicated
by Morton,
The officers fired first, Clyde said.
"I was escaped from prison," he said
"and was proceeding cautiously. We
were coming out of the woods when
the shooting started. I fired in de
fense of my fee,-as I thought. I ran
as I fered. I did not see anybody
fall. I thought I heard a cry, but was
not sure."- /
"The other boys were not close by.
They were some little distance, away.
I beard.abets from a.distance but do,
not know who fired tham."
He and Tom spent two weeks in the
swamps, he said. They were terrible
weeks. Cold, sleet, rain and hunger,
hounded them.
"We had blankets but we were a
fraid to build fires most <rf the time.
That was what the officers were!
searching for, smoke and the light
from fires. There-were so -many a

officers and men were rescued from

which .settled to the bottom of New

The ship, inward bound from Savan

after they took off from the damaged

The Raritan, built in 1908 at a cost
of $191,000, was 290 feet long and

Little Expense And Grower
Cm Tell Whether They
Are Free of Disease.
? ;; ' ? ? "k'\
Money sent away efctch year to pur
chase farm seeds could be used profi
tably in farm operations at home but
aside from this there are two other
good reasons why every landowner
should grow and save his own seed.
First, they can be grown at little ex
pense, and second, the-grower can tell
whether they are free of disease.
"The 'purchase of large quantities
of both major and minor crop seeds
by growers each year is tremendous",
says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant disease
specialist of the North Carolina Ex
periment Station. "This outlay -of
money is not in beeping with the aims
of our live-at-home program. Also
there are but few crops in the State
where high yield and high quality of
product cannot be maintained by
home production of seeds. Conditions
are favorable in this State to im
prove crops by careful seed selection
on the home farm."
Dr. Poole says seed can be grown
at home at little expense. The ripen
ing and curing needs are not expen
sive. About the only attention neces
sary is to keep them In moderately
dry storage and in tight containers.
Seed may be saved from the finest
quality fruits Without losing the adi
ble parts, and, home-grown, well ma
tured and propyl y stored seed will
always give a high percentage of fer
mination,
By storing seed at home ,the grow
er can be assured that they are free
from disease. This is not so easy in
rainy seasons when heavy infection
occurs before maturity; however, a
few trials will give any grower a sat
isfied understanding of how stands
and quality may be bettered by small
effort. For instance, says Dr. Poole,
the early bunch bean crop last sea
son was entirely free from anthrac
nose and bacterial spot. No better
seed stock cquld have been obtained
from any. source, yet most of these
fine beans were plowed under. The
grower will this season purchase his
beans from another source at a high
price when he could have had them
very cheaply from a home supply.

Miss Mary Frick
Salisbury, Jan. 7. ? Miss Mary
Prick, Rockwell young woman, left
today by automobile for Raleigh, ac
companied by Sheriff W. Locke Mc
Kenzie and Henry Cress, a friend, of
Concord, and will at once begin serv
ing her term of from six to eight
years in the State's Prison for her
part in the robbing of the Bank of
Rockwell. Her companions in crime.
Ted Honeycutt, John Ellis and Mabel
Yarborough have already begun their
sentences following the plea of guilty.
Miss Prick alone having fought the
case and having taken it to the State
Supreme Court in an unsuccessful try
for a new hearing. Evidence at the
trial was that the original plan and
conspiracy to rob the bank was hatch
ed while Miss Frick, Ted Honeycutt,
and Preston Stroupe, of Charlotte
were on a trip to Florida and that
Stroupe dropped out of the game be
fore the commission of the crime.
Stroupe was not heard at the trial
and today there is made public for
the first time an affidavit from him
in which he denies having heard a
word of conspiracy or planning to
rob the Rockwell bank or any other
bank while the three were on the trip
to Florida. Miss Frick's attorneys
have this affidavit. and it is under
stood it will figure in further at
tempts ;to get her out of the clutches

111 Interest Of Program.
North Carolina's second great
"Live-at-Home" campaign will be
brought to Pitt .county on JanaaryJi
when a team of extension workers
will hold a meeting - with farmers,*
bankers and merchants at the county
seat for the purpose of urging the
people of the county to be self sup
porting and to outline to them the
necessity.in these times of strews of
growing, not only a yeaf-round ration
for the farm family but also for lire
stock. ?
The speakers in Pitt county will be
B. T. Ferguson and Miss Helen E.
Estabrook.
"Farm to Make a Living in 1931"
is the 9lo'gan of the 1931 campaign,
which is being conducted on a larger
scale than ever before attempted by
Dean I. 0. Schaub, head of the exten
sion service at N. C. State College.
Dean Schaub is being assisted by C.
A. Sheffield, assistant director and
numerous specialists in all lines of
farming and livestock enterprises.
As a result of last year's "Iive-at
Home" campaign $19,000,000 was ac
tually added to the value of the food
and feed crops in the State. This year
Governor Gardner has called upon the
farm counties of the state to increase
the value of food and feed crops by
$40,000,000, as a long step toward
averting economic disaster.
UVTM WA r? AV^AflMATl
vcaxmj vi CAb\:uoiui^ vvviqcao
are taking part in the campaign and
they started their tours of duty from
the far eastern counties on January
6, covering five counties each day. R
is the most ambitious campaign of its
kind that has ever been attempted in
North Garolina. Each extension team
is composed of at least two speakers
and those attending the meeting'are
being given an elaborate picture of
the 1931 situation, said to be a critical
farm period in the histoiy of the state
and what is to be done if the serious
problems are to be successfully met.
The speakers at the meetings are
armed with facts on needed produc
tion, shortage where it exists, and a
wealth of other information for pre
sentation .to the people of the counties. _
All this data has been carefully work
ed out in detail as it applies to the
individual counties, says Dean Schaub
and guesswork has been liminated in
arriving at conclusions. Not only the
county needs are being given atten
tion, but the information is brought
down to the family and livestock
units and the amount of food and feed
that they will find necessary for con
sumption during a period of twelve
months.
Charts and tables showing the pro
duction of the important food and
feed crops in the counties were pre
pared by Mr. Sheffield and his asso
ciates and these are being presented
at the meetings and explained to
those attending. The charts also
graphically reveal shortages in what
crops- more acreage is necessary and
give in actual figures the amounts
which farmers are forced to spend out
side on foodstuffs and feeds and also
the surpluses and their value in dol
lars and cents. These charts 3how in
no uncertain terms what the counties
must do if they are to feed themselves
and keep thousands of dollars from
going outside their own domains.
