Not Disbanding Washington, Aug. 3.—Commander W. W. Waters, of the Bonus Expe ditionary Army, who earlier tn the day said he would advise his men to return to their home, said last night he had reconsidered his plans and contemplated an elaborate chain of 48 State cantonments to house the veterans. Waters’ first plans to order his men to disperse from Johnstown, Pa., whence they fled after being driven from Wash ington. came after a conference with Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland, and other State authorities, at which he was told he could not es tablish a bonus ramp at Waterbary. Md. Upon his return to Washing ton last night, the youthful leader of the ragged war veterans said: •‘Since returning from the confer ence with Governor Ritchie, I have been assured land in every State in the Union wili be made available to ns for permanent cantonments for the B. E. F." Jessup Views Values Today As Erroneous Minister lo Addresii To Lions Club Wonders If Estimate Of Vsines Is Just, In « thought-provoking address to the Shelby Lions club last night, Rev. L. L. .Jessup, pastor of the Second Baptist church, questioned the present-day estimate of values and the manner of expenditures. His topic was ‘ Revision of Val ues" and it was his apparent view that, some things are estimated too highly and some not enough. While we spend millions each year to pay our radio entertainers and our movie'stars and while we spend millions for public improvements, roads, buildings, etc., we spend a very small amount in proportion to aid unfortunate women, youths in crime and other people for whom life could be made brighter and better. He contrasted the huge sal aries paid Amos and Andy, the radio entertainers, and the salaries paid movie stars with total sums given to the work of chanty and the uplift ing of mankind. No criticism was made of those to whom large salar ies are paid, but the speaker left a question with his hearers if they help contribute in proportion to worthy causes. WTvtle the public's big contribution goes out for enter tainment and modern improve ments, we criticise, he pointed out, the meagre salaries, as contrasted with the entertainers, which are paid teachers who endeavor to teach our youths the finer things in life. Bringing his illustrations closer home, Rev. Mr, Jessup noted that Shelby was typical of the en tire country in that we spend large sums for streets, roads and other public improvements to enjoy while living and for cemeteries for the dead, but cannot afford s the money necessary for playgrounds for our children and other things that might be construed as beneficial and helpful to humanity Try Answering These Can you answer 14 of these test questions?

Holds Down Too Many Issues. Raleigh, Aug. 3.—“As I view the subject,, I believe North Carolina has the best supervision and best control of bond issues of any state,” said John M. Dight, deputy secretary of the Department of In ternal Affairs of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in an address at State college. Philadelphia in which he discussed and summarized laws affecting local bond issues in the 48 states of the nation. Mr. Dight's Subject was “State Supervision of Local Bond Issues,” and he went particularly into the tens of Pennsylvania, showing that 8.345 districts in that common wealth have power to issue bonds and make loans, and that outstand ing municipal bonds of that com monwealth exceed |1,000,000,000. He also gave a summary of the laws of each of the 48 states, closing as to North Carolina with the statement quoted above. The speech Is carried in full in The United srAtes Daily nf July 28. starting on the front page and eon-; tlnuing more than two and a half columns inside. More space is giv en by Mr. Dight to North Carolina than to any other State, his full summary for this state being as follows: "North Carolina—The Local Gov ernment commission of the State has control over all municipal se curities and all bonds must be sub mitted to it for approval before Issuance. Serial bonds only per mitted. Municipalities give semi annual written reports, in January and July, of the condition of their sinking funds to the commission. Tax anticipation notes may be is sued. Bonds are incontestable after approval by the commission. The commission itself seils the munici pal bonds issued. The commission pays all interest and all bonds as they mature. The municipalities are notified by the commission when interest and principal are due, and the same must be remitted to the commission. The provisions of the law, while complete, are not com plicated. As I view the subject, 1 be lieve North Carolina- has the best supervision and beef control of bond issues of any State,” Board Approves Budget And New Tax Levy Here Automatically Retain 2 County Agent* Budget Colled For IMenMoa Ot Ttiaee Office* At Reduced *«rr.
