He flew from London to Rome in five hours, and 22 minutes, the best previous rec ord geing approximately 12 hours. He tried to fly back the same day, but a storm forced him down without mishap near Paris. He later flew from Paris to London in 59 minutes. Miss Helen Keller, the famous blind author, has taken her first air plane ride, from Newark to Washing ton, where she had luncheon at the White House. She declared 3he got a great thrill out of the experience.] The dirigible Graf Zeppelin recent-j ly carried 25 passengers on a round trip between Germany and Cairo, Egypt. Assistant Secretary Ingalls, in charge of naval aviation, calls the au to-giro the missing link among air craft, and believes the safety it of-j fers will be an encouragement to J prospective flyers. I Italy is preparing to build three fast new planes in an effort to win the next Schneider cup race. Germans are building a powerful plane of new design, which they ex pect to reach an altitude of 50,000 feet. American air line operators trans ported 8,324,255 pounds of mail last year, for which they, were paid $17, 798,601, or a little more than $2 a pound. THE THREE D'S There have been many serious con ferences in this year of tough busi ness, and recently I attended one of them. The. problem was whether a cer tain industry, which was encountering difficulties, could be kept going. Three men spoke; their remarks were about as follows: First Man: Conditions are much worse than anybody is willing to ad mit. Car loadings are off; steel pro duction is flat; the automobile indus try is on its b$ck; every business ba rometer points down. You can argue that the country has faced the same situation before and has came through. But this is different. Now America is a world power, dependent on world markets. Wherever you look in the world you see nothing but trouble. I think that any enterprise which is losing money ought to be stopped. We are not justified in tak ing chances. Second Man: I wouldn't go as far as the first speaker. Things are un deniably bad and may get worse, but I do not think we are justified in as suming that the world is going bust ed. What we need is plenty of time to get all the facts and talk them over and be sure we are right I suggest we appoint a committee, and then we cam meet'again in a couple oY weeks and have another conference. ? Third Mag: I disagree with every thing that has been said. Thi? de pression isnt different from a hun dred others that have preceded it Al ways people lose hope just when the turn is about to come. Always -it is argued that "conditions thi3 time are different" I do not see that we shall - - ? ? gain anything by appointing commit tees or delaying action. What we need is not more facts but more guts. I am in favor of going to work right ~how to pull this business through. Men divide themselves into differ ent classifications which are called by various names. There are the opti mists who are consistently hopeful and the pessimists who always fear the worst. There are what the -psychologists term the "introverts," those whose eyes are turned inward, the brooders, the hypoeondriaes, the mystics; and the "extraverts," whose ^vision is out ward and forward. In good days it is not so easy to distinguish, bat these past few months have been a testing time. They have divided all men into three great groups: v The defeatist* who say conditions are different; it cant be dons. The Debaters, who say, tet us ap point a commission and adjourn un til another time. . * The Doers, who say, let us pick out the toughest problems ami hit it first Each of us falls into one or the otb er of these groups. In which one are you? - i | " ti* ^Sd j s ^ ^ - By J. M. PUDRDOM /? i .. - n*-, V Some of the most successful^ tobac co growers always prime off end leave in tile field the inferior leaves the bottom of the stalk. It is very sel dom that such leaves if gathered pay for tbi actual cost of harvesting and curing. This year it seems very cer tain that it will not pay to save these. Up to the present time the seasons have been very dry, and the lower leaves have not only grown to normal size, but they have also been damaged by the dry weather. I believe that it will be decidedly the better plan to pull them off and leave them in the field. This year there does not seem to be any possibility that short and damaged lugs will p'ay for the cost of even the wood that would be required to cure them. . !.? .? | If 3uch teaves are left in the field this will help to reduce total produc tion to that extent, and with the largest stocks of flue cured tobacco on record being held at the present time by manufacturers and dealers the elimination of the inferior lugs can reasonably be expected to result in the better grades of tobacco bring ing more satisfactory prices. Thus] the grower will profit in two ways, first by saving the cost of gathering and curing such leaves, and second, * ? ? I?1 by causing rue oaisnce ua uc uuy, which will be the largest part of it, to sell for higher prices. Pulling off such leaves will also help to improve the quality of the crop. After these leaves are pulled off the strength and vitality of the plant will be thrown into the leaves that are left, thereby improving their size and quality. It will also leave the crop in much better shape for lay ing by. When rains come and the ground again becomes thoroughly wet the crop will need some more good plowing, and if these leaves are out of the way a much better job can be done. More soil can be thrown up around the base of the stalk, and the improvement t to the crop resulting from this alone will more than jus tify the work required to remove these leaves. Pulling off these inferior bottom leaves will , also be an aid to more uniform and better cropping. Each year greater stress is being placed on the necessity of better grading of the crop before it is offered for sale. With none of these inferior lower leaves left on the stalk it will be much easier to make uniform crop pings, and this will actually improve the grade'^f tobacco as well as elim inate much' work in sorting and grad ing. Better cures can be made and the crop offered for sale in a much better and more uniform condition. Too much stress can hardly be placed on the importance of correctly topping the crop. As stated in a let ter topping during dry weather is Judge Frizzelle Decreas es Bonds from $5,000 to S3,000 for Each of the fendants ? ? ? i Greenville, June 16.?Following a reduction of their bonds, attorneys were'busy today in an effort to bring about the release ? of Elmer Whitley and Bodney Cox, who were confined in Pitt county jail after their convic tion two months ago of the hjghyay robbery of Mrs. G. H. Ballard in the southern section- of the city during the latter paft of last year. The young men were sentenced to from.five to seven v years in state's prison by Judge J. Paul Friaselle, of Snow Hill, who presided over the criminal term of superior court In this city. They filed notice of appeal to the supreme court, and their bonds were fixed at $5,000. each, but neither was able to raise the Necessary sum to effect his freedom and both have been in jail ever since. Several days ago Judge FrkseUe was presented with a petition, said to have contained the names of ap proximately seven -' hundred persohs, asking the bonds to be reduced, in or der that the men might be at liberty while awaiting action on their case by the high court Judge Frizzelle, who was holding court in Hillsboro at the time, did not immediately render a decision, but told the attorneys he would make known his action during the latter part of the week. His decision was received Saturday and attorneys and friends interested in the young men began immediately to make preparations for their liber ation. Whitley and Cox were convicted of obtaining $4,200 from Mrs. G. H. Bal lard in one of the most sensational highway robberies probably ever oc curring in this community, and the courtroom was taxed to capaqfy dur ing the five days the case was in I progress. ! ! very difficult and unless great care is used slrious errors can easily be made. Delay topping as long as pos sible without letting* the stalks get hard, and if it becomes necessary to top before it rains cere should be used [not to top too low. ? ?
