Now Or Never Is Slogan In
Fast Race For Big Awards
Record-Breaking Week
Is Predicted as Candi
dates Marshall for The
Final Charge in Excit
ing Vote Battle Deter
mine Winners of the
Big Prizes.
Your guess is a good as ours; the
race is a close one and has been
run fairly and squarely by both con
testants and management. The finish
is only two days away and we expect
the final spurt to be as clean as the
whole race has been from the start.
We have been more than pleased with
the high type of people entered in
fhia campaign and with the good
sportsmanship shown.
Judges Announced
We have selected as judges in this
contest men of the highest standing
in the community?men whom you
have the utmost confidence in to han
dle the final closing of the contest
in a fair and just manner.
The judges will be R. A. Joyner,
C. F. Baucom, L. T. Pierce.
At 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon the
great circulation building campaign
of the Farmville Enterprise will come
to an end, and as soon as the final
tabulation is made of the returns the
prizes will be presented to the con
testants who have participated in the
campaign by soliciting subscriptions
for this paper.
A sealed ballot box is placed in the
contest office and the candidates will
deposit their last report in it Sat
urday. At 8 P. M., the box will be
opened and the judges, with the as
sistance of the campaign manager will
make the final tabulation of votes.
Seven weeks of hard work and anx
iety culminating in the closing scene
Saturday, October 30, 8 P. M., at
which time the big subscription con
test will come to an official close
and the most successful candidate
headed by $500.00 as first prize.
This paper has urged candidates to
do their best right along, but now
it wishes to lay particular stress on
the necessity of looking the situation
straight in the face and seeing where
it will be necessary to put forth su
preme effort if you would be the
winner of the grand capital prize.
Don't flatter yourself that you al
ready have enough to win for you
haven't. Don't take a single chance
on losing the prize you most desire.
It would be better to win a million
votes than fall short by a few thous
and, representing long term subscip
tions.
Over confidence has lost many bat
tles. To relax at this stage of the
game is suicide to success. Determin
ation to win, coupled with relentless
activity in vote getting should make
any candidate a winner. There is no
time to hesitate. What is to be
done is to be done now. To temporize
is to let some competition sweep a
head and win the prize that might
be yours.
8 P. M. Sharp
candidate must have her fin
al report in the ballot box by 8 P.
V , one minute after 8 P. M. will be
too late. Subscription reports and col
lections must be in by that time.
The final counting will be made in
the contest office. There the ballot
box will be opened by the judges and
the campaign manager and the final
standing arrived at
Details of the final closing parti
culars of the contest are set forth
on. another page of this issue, and
the candidates are advised to read
them carefully and follow them to the
letter, as no candidate will be excused
for not knowing just what to do.
Final Advice and Appeal
The next two days put to the proper
use, can mean success to any candi
date and success in this case means
$500 in cash. A lot can be done in
two days and surely now is the best
use of every hour and minute of that
time. A few 5-year subscriptions se
cured or lost could mean the winning
or losing of hundreds of dollars.

Chinese Defence
Forces Entrench
Along New Lines
Shanghai, Oct. 28.?(Thursday)?
Shanghai's defenders fought today
with their backs to Soochow Creek on
the border of the International set
tlement.
Across the stream, at barricades on
the south bank, United States marin
es watched the shifting battlefront
under orders to shoot in self-defense
at any airplane attacking them or
noncombatants.
Admiral Harry Yaraell, commander
of United States Asiatic fleet, author
ized the protective orders when the
Chinese retreat on the northern edge
of International Settlement brought
intense fighting close to the for
eign zone.
Further upstream, to the west of
the International Settlement the Chi
nese were entrenched on the south
side of the creek, defending a narrow
strip of th native city between the
stream and the foreign area.
The Chinese dug in on their new
line after withdrawing from historic
Chapei, seared by miles of flame from
fires started yesterday when their de
fense collapsed.
The conflagration was caused by
Chinese leaving fire to cover their re
treat and by two Japanese shells and
incendiary bombs.
Huge Fire
Uncontrolled fire, whipped by a
southerly wind, stretched from near
Kiangwan, north of the International
Settlement, south through Chapel to
the edge of the foreign zone, and
west for an uunknown number of
miles.
In one area where the flames got
across the creek 150 buildings were
burned.
About 35,000 refugees from the
embattled districts in the northern
and western parts of the city poured
into the International Settlement yes
terday. Authorities prepared for a
further avalanche of fleeing humanity
today.
Among the refugees yesterday they
said, were 350 civilian men, women
and children wounded by Japanese
aerial machine gun attacks on the
countryside outside Shanghai.

Japan Rejects In
vitation To Nine
Power Gathering
e ???
Tokyo, Oct. 27.?Japan formally
rejected an invitation today to at
tend the Brussel's Nine Power con
ference, declaring the meeting was
inspired by the League of Nations
and woulld "put serious obstacles in
the path of a just and proper solu
tion" on the far Eastern situation.
The refusal to confer with other I
signatories of the 1922 Washmgton
treaty guaranteeing China's trntorial
integrity was handed by Japanese
Foreign Minister Kori Hirota to Ba
ron Albert de Basompierre, Belgian
ambassador.
Hirota previously had received im
perial sanction for the reply. After 1
making Japan's decision known in a
lengthy, informal statement -accom
panying the refusal, he summoned
United States Ambassador Joseph C.
Grew and British Ambassador Sir
Robert Leslie Craigie to explain the
nation's attitude to them.
The statement reterated Japan's
contention that she was fighting in
self-defense, that the Nine-Power
treaty was obsolete because of spread
ing Communism in China and that
the League of Nations should not
interfere.
Although the Belgian government
invitation did not refer to the Lea-1
gue of Nations, the statement de
clared, the meeting was called after
a League resolution suggesting it;
and Japan "cannot but conclude that
the convocation of the conference is
liked to the resolution."
JAPANESE REPLY DASHES
HOPES FOR EARLY PEACE
Paris Oct. 27.?Japan's refusal to
attend the Nine-Power conference at
Brussels today dashed cold water on
the hopes prevailing in the French
and United States delegations that
Japan had reached the point where
she would welcome mediation of the
conflict in China.
The news was received here about
the same time the American delega
tion, headed by Norman H. Davis,
ambassador-at-large, landed at Le
Harve. The delegtion planned to go L
to Brussels tomorrow.
Japan's delay in replying to the
conference invitation had led to a
feeling among the French and Uni
ted States delegates that the Tokyo
government might consider it a wis
er policy to attend.
The statement in the Japanese note
that the imperial government did not
feel "an equitable and realistic solu
tion" of the conflict could come from
the Brussels conference made the
delegates throw up their hands.

On Hallowe'en when witchqs ride

best times in the year to give a party.
"All formality must vanish. Give
yourself over to the spirit of the oc

have a good time" said Ruth Current,
state home agent at State College.
Owls, black cats with curled tails,
witches, moons, and other Hallowe en
decorations cut from Orange and
black paper, pumpkins, corn stalks,
red apples, and autumn leaves; Jack-1
o-lanterns, silhouettes, and scare
crows?all add a weird atmosphere.
Silver Christmas corn can be woven
into a spider web in the center to
give a realistic effect.
| The lighting is important. There
should be plenty of Jack-o-lanterns.
Other lights should be dimmed with
orange and red crepe paper.
Bobbing for apples, lucky peanuts,
and fortune telling appeal to all com
ers on a time like this.
For a large group, several fortune
telling devices can be placed in dif
ferent parts of the rooms, with the
guests going from one to another.
Or a witches' den may be construc
ted, dimly lighted with Jack-o-lanterns
and with a witch sitting inside beside
her cauldron to tell the fortunes of
all who enter.
A gruesome ghost story told by
someone who has a gift for story
telling brings a dramatic climax to
the evening..

JAPAN'S VIOLATIONS.
TO SEEK MEDIATION.
HAS F. D. B. A PLAN?
BLOCKADE CONSIDERED.
CONGRESS TO DISCUSS.
SEEKS BALANCED BUDGET.
REVISED FISCAL FACTS.
LANDON AIRS DIFFERENCE.
REPUBLICANS DIVIDED.
(By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Cor
respondent.)
In a few days the diplomatic re
presentatives of the United States,
together with those of other nations,
signatory to the Nine-Power treaty,
which was signed at Washington, in
1922 as a result of the Conference
on limitations of Naval Armaments
called by President Harding, will
openly examine the situation in the
Far East for the purpose of seeking
peaceable means of bringing the Sino
Japanese conflict to an end.
This is the first occasion that the
nations have attempted the "full and
frank communication" provided for in
Article VII of the treaty which was
designed to bind nations (1) to re
spect the sovereignty, independence,
territorial and administration integri
ty of China, (2) to provide the fullest
and most unembarrassed opportunity
to China to develop and maintain a
stable government, (S) to establish
and maintain the principle of equal
opportunity for the commerce and in
dustry of all nations in China and
(4) to refrain from taking advan
tage of conditions in China in order
to seek special rights or privileges.
There is no arguments whatsoever
about the violation of the principles
involved by Japan, either in the pres
ent instance or in the Manchukuo ven
ture of 1932. The very purpose of the
treaty, signed along with that limit
ing the navies of the world, was to
safeguard the rights of all nations
to equal opportunity in China and to
give the struggling republic a chance
to become stable government and to
peacable develop. In the Manchukuo
affair Secretary Stimson attempted to
to set in motion the machinery of
the treaty but met with rebuffs from
other countries, notably Great Bri
tain. The present policy of the United
States, as outlined follows that of
Mr. Stimson in proposing action un
der the consultation clause of the
treaty.
Just what will be accomplished by
Pres. Roosevelt has J repeatedly insist
ed that this country seeks peace in the
Far East by agreement of the nations,
included China and'Japan, it is not
expected that the Japanese will be
in any mood to give up their military
campaign. Moral suasion, it seems fair
to assume from Tokyo dispatches, will
not sway the rules of Japan arid
therefore the question arises as to
whether some additional action is
planned after the expected failure
of mediation efforts. Two conclusions
we think, are worth consideration in
this connection:
First Mr. Roosevelt is too practi
cal to imagine that mediation will
succeed unless some inducement can
be offered the Japanese and, it may
be that he has evolved a formula
which he thinks, may solve the prob
lem. There has been no hint of such
a proposal but some observers be
lieve that the President has a plan
which will be effective. In the second
place, it has been reported that prior
to his Chicago speech, the President
consulted the Navy in regards to
what action could be taken with ref
erence to blocking Japanese imper
ialism and was advised that a block
ade of the islands, maintained by
the British and American fleets, sta
tioned at Singapore, and there would
be little danger of precipitate battle,
would be possible and effective. At
the same time, the story goes, the
Navy advised that if Japan succeeded
in establishing herself in China, there
would be no way to prevent her com
plete domination of the Far East.
?
Whether this is the basis for the
"quarantine" idea or not, the fact
remains that such a naval policy by
the two English speaking nations
would effectively isolate Japan from
trade with other nations. In view of
Japanese dependence upon imports
from the United States and the Brit
ish Empire for the prosecution of a
war, as well as for the continuation,
the situation of the Japanese would
be etremely critical one such a "quar
antine" was established and it yould
be only a question of months before
her collapse.
- ?
Regardless of what our foreign pol
icy may be, it is a safe bet that there
will be plenty of discussion when
Mr. Roosevelt warned newspaper men
not to guess* at future developments,
declaring that any prediction as to
Congress convenes in special session.

Says Mill Men
To Fight Cotton I
Processing Levy
New York, Oct 27.?A determina
|tiqn to make a last-ditch fight a-1
gainst any effprt to restore the pro
cessing tax on cotton was voiced by
Dr. Claudius T. Murchison today
at the eleventh annual meeting of the
Cotton - Textile Institute. ,?
Dr. Murchinson, president of the
institute, told the assembled cotton
mill executives that their industry
was complirated by both internationql
and domestic problems.
He said a "great uncertainty" still
surrounded the question of govern
ment regulation of business, and ex
pressed impatience with talk of boy
cotting Japan. The Japanese, he said,
were adhering scrupulously to an
agreement not to dump their product
in the United States market
Domestic Outlook
In his discussion of the domestic
'outlook, Dr. Murchson said.
"While we look forward hopefully
to dealing with the undivided profits
tax, there is less assurance that we
can cope successfully with the threat
of a restored processing tax.
"Although the cotton-textile in
dustry does not intend to oppose
constructive farm legislation, it will
resist with every power to its com
mand any proposal to restore the
processing tax as a means of fin
ancing an agricultural program . . . I
"It is impossible for the cotton
textile industry to be prosperous and
without imparting prosperity to the
cotton farmers. Our interests are
their interests, and we invite them to
join us in the advocacy of a form
of crop legislation whose financing
will not injure their best friend and
their best customer.
Dr. Murchison paid tribute to gov
ernment agencies which helped nego
tiate the "gentlemen's agreement"
with Japan, and urged the industry I
not to "dishonor" itself by partici
pating in any organized boycott "a
galnst a friendly country so long as
decent alternative methods are avail
able."
He termed a boycott a procedure
which not only is "morally unworthy
of a free people," but which also
serves to "augment international
hatred, and promote still further the
principles and methods of Fascism
and Communism."
J. M. Mehl, assistant chief of the
Commodity Exchange Administra
tion, was another speaker at the
one-day session. He described the
operation of the new Commodity Ex-1
change act, explaining that Its basic
features were embodied in the grain
futures act which has been in opera
tion since 1922.
Against Compulsory)
MolOICotton
Washington, Oct. 27.?Representa
tive A. L. Ford, of Ackerman, Miss.,
said today he would protest before the
house Agriculutral Committee against
compulsory control of cotton produc
itIon*
He said conferences he held with 10
000 farmers in hiB district disclosed
they were overwhelmingly opposed"
to comply with compulsory control
and base acreage allotments.
Ford said he would submit to the
committee a proposal for the govern
1 ment to buy unconsumed cotton at not
less than 12 cents a pund, and export
if necessary at a loss, to undersell
foreign producers and recapture for
eign markets.
There is only one permanent solu
tion for the cotton problem, and that
is to devise some way of selling cot
ton in competition with foreign pro
ducers," he said.
"The farmers alone cannot do
this with the price of everything
they purchased fixed by high tariffs.
He Bald he would recommend to
the committee as soon as it begins
hearings on crop control, that the
government purchase the cotton with
funds paid in control benefits plus
tariff collections and if necessary, a
processing tax.
Tar Heel Firm Gets
Notice To Desist
Washington, Oct 27.?The F^eral
Trade Commission said today to the
Conover Knitting Company of Con
over, N. C., agreed "to stop certain
misleading representations" in the
sale of its product
The Conover company, the commis
sion said, "agrees to cease the use
advertising of the word "silk" as de
scriptive of hosiery not composed of
silk, and to discontinue employing this
word in any way so as to imply
that its hosiery is composed of silk.
When such is not a fact'"

When a.speaker talks like he knows

Says Foreign Movie
Indecent, Immoral!
Albany, N. Y., October 27.?The
appellate division upheld today the
ruling of State Education Commis
sioner Frank P. Graves that the
foreign motion picture "Estasy" is
"immoral and indecent"
Unanimous decision was handed

The decision was directed against

exclusive rights to distribution, ex
hibition and exploituton of the film

Disulphid Protects
Stored Grain, Peas
Carbon dilsulphid treatment will
protect stored grain and peas from
the heavy losses caused every year
by insects, according to J. O. Ro
well, extension etomologist at State
College.
In treating small amounts of seed,
he said, a water tight barrel may
be used. Pour the carbon dissulphid
directly over the top and leave for
two days.
Then examine the seed. If and
insects are found, repeat the treat
ment with a stronger dose. The
barrels should be kept covered after
the treatment or insects will re-in
fest the grain or peas.
Ordinarily half a cupful disulphid
is about right for a barrel of seed,
but heavy infestations a full cup
should be applied.
The temperature should be above
75 degrees Fahrenheit for the best
results.
Carbon disulphid will not injure
the seed for planting, feed, or food.
When ready for use, spread the seed
out in the air and the gas will dis
appear quickly.
If bins can be made fairly air
tight, seed can be treated in storage
by using 20 pounds of carbon disul
phid for each 1,000 cubic feet of
space. Pour on the disulphid and co
ver the seed with shcks to hold the
gas in.
? If the bin can be made especially
tight', less disulphid will be needed.
Carbon tetrachloride is non-imflama
ble and may be used instead, but
twice as much is needed to give good
insect control.
Carbon disulphid is highly inflama
ble?keep lights or fires away, Ro
wel! warned.
