BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK THIRST FOR GODr 0 God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Psalms 63:1-2. PICKING A NAME In commenting on the rumor that the new theatre which is under con struction in Hertford is to be called the "State," a certain Hertford citi zen has aptly suggested that a name commemorating some of the numer ous unusual names linked with the early history of Perquimans would be much more distinctive. The name "Perquimans" is said to be too long, as is also "Kilcoca nen." But "Yeopim." the name of the tribe of Indians of which Kilco canen, maker of the oldest deed of record in the State, was king, is shorter, and, in our opinion very appropriate. There are many "State" theatres in North Carolina, but there would be only one "Yeopim." THOUGHT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WORDS The words President Roosevelt used two weeks ago in a 'speech at Chatauqua, New York, were praised by newspaper critics as the most forceful and vigorous use he has ever made of the language in all of his numerous public utterances. The passage from his speech that drew the praise of the literary critics wa3: "I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. "I have seen two hundred limping exhausted men come out of the line the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty eight hours before. I have seen children starving- I have seen the agonies of mothers and wives: "I hate war." We believe you can agree with those who say this is dramatic and forceful use of words. But more important than the mere words and their skillful use in describing the dreadfulness of war, is the thought that they express and the fact this thought should come from the heart of the leader of the American gov eminent. It is the thought that should possess all people. It should be the thought' of all leaders direct ing the policies of governments. It should be the thought which will re move war for all time as an instru ment of settling national disputes. Gates County Index. ?i. - HIT OR MISS Great Array Of Farm Products In Prospect For N. C. State Fair Advance reservations for exhibit space indicate that visitors to the 1936 State Fair will be greeted by one of the greatest arrays of farm products ever assembled in North Carolina, says Manager Norman Y. Chambliss. . In addition, he announced, a wider display of commercial exhibits will enhance the exposition halls and mid way, with many national concerns al ready signed up for space. There will be an unusually large display of modern farm machinery. Work is practically . completed on the new,, fireproof exhibit hall which -replaces the structure destroyed by fire in 1934. The new building. will provide 12,500 square feet of floor space. It is over one-third larger than the old structure, and will be used principally for displays by State and Federal agencies. , Dn Frea rj. Miller, of the State Department of Agriculture, is in charge of all exhibits again. He re .ported this week that the fair, will -present an unusually large and va ried exhibit by 4-H clubs of the : State, f An increased number of re quests' for premium books, which contain. 14 departments offering to tal prizes of 115,000, indicates above average, interest by prospective exhl- ' bitors in other.: agricultural divisions, Dr. Miller announced.

L W. Mrs. C. F. Reed, who lives near Hertford, is suffering with a sprain ed wnet as a result of a fall sus tained while running from a snake. Thousrh members of Mrs. Reed's family sought to reassure her oy telling her that the blacksnake which she saw in the yard of her home didn't even see her, Mrs. Reed is in sistent that it was pursuing her with its head raised and its tongue out. Anyhow, Mrs. Reed ran as hard as she could and barely reached the doorway in which she fell as the snake slid beneath the doorstep and disappeared under the house. Though Mr. Reed sought diligently for the blacksnake, it somehow eluded cap ture, and it was several days later that her son, Charlie Ford, discover ed the blacksnake coiled about the body of a tree in the front yard, and the reptile was shot If there is another fire chief in the State of North Carolina who holds a better record for prompt ness than does Chief C. F. Sumner, Jr., of Hertford, it would be inter esting to know about him. There was a small blaze in the house occupied by Raymond Bateman on Edenton Road early Sunday af ternoon. Happening to be riding down Market Street, headed west, as the alarm 'sounded, we reached the intersection of Edenton Road and Market and stopped as we saw the smoke and also saw a number of persons running toward the scene of the fire. The astounding thing was that, as the last wail of the siren sounded Chief Sumner,' driving the fire truck, appeared from around the corner of Edenton Road and Grubb. Capt Sumner may not be the highest paid fire chief in the State (he probably isn't, as he only re ceives twelve dollars per year), but he is as prompt as the next one. It was a shame that the program of the home demonstration clubs was cut short by the sudden thunder storm and rain on Wednesday. There were several interesting numbers on the program which could not be given. But the rain was most re freshing after the prolonged period of drought and sweltering heat. Control Army Worm With Dust Or Bait There are a number of methods of controlling the lau Army worm, now damaging crops over much of the State, said C. H. Brannon, exten sion entomologist at State College. uust calcium arsenate on crops not burned by this material, he said; on other crops such as corn, beans, and peas, apply lead . arsenate dust to coyer the plant thoroughly. . Small plants like alfalfa and crab grass may be protected with appli cations of poisoned bait. This is especially recommended where the worms have almost destroyed the -op. , : , . , . , , iThe bait can , be made ' at home with one pound of Paris green to 60 pounds of : wheat - bran. Add two gallons of molasses that have been thinned with water, and stir thor oughly; , Then pour in enough water to make the bait' crumbly,, but not soupy.' , " - ; Fifty -pounds , Of .bait is enousrh tot five acres." Apply it broadcast in the evenings, and do not allow the poultry or animals access to treated fields. ' Smaller amounts of bait can be mixed in the same proportion.- ' ' W desired, two ttonnda of ealelnm arsenate may be substituted for the pound of Paris green in the bait, jjrannon continued.

Shallow holes dug at intervals in the furrow and filled with gas oils or kerosene will kill the worms. Where it is not possible to plow a furrow, a thin line of coal tar placed a little distance ahead of the worms will keep them from invading neigh boring fields.
