MILLIONS OF FEET 0E STANDING TIMBER DESTROYED BY FIRE
Forest Fires Are Raging in East North Carolina. Much Damage Done
 in Virginia

Raleigh. N. C., April 15.-MilIions of feet of standing timber hns been de-
 stroyed and much more probably
 burned in forest fires raging at widely
 separated points of eastern North Caro-
 lima. according to reports reaching here tonight. One man is known to have
 lost his life.
 In Beaver Dam and Cedar Creek townships, Cumberland county, where stood some of the most valuable forest of the country, the conflagratlon IS at it's worst. Daniel B. Carter. a farmer, was overtaken by the fire while walk : ing along a public road today and was burned to death. One home is known
 to have been destroyed and fear is ex- pressed for many more in this region The fire in Cumberland county was still raging tonight and had burned an area of 10 miles long. Hundreds of fire fighters from all parts of the county were trying to check the flames. A report from Rocky Mount says that high winds coupled with the extreme dryress of the east Carolina country is held responsible for the most serious forest fire ever known to that section. Fires used to clean up new ground have
 spread rapidly to adjoining timber lands.
 The fire has not been confined to forests entirely, for at Pantageo lighted brand swept by the high winds form the surrounding forest caused the destruction of St. James church. his- toric landmark of Beaufort county At Roper, the large Roper Montgom- cry plant is reported to have burned today
 The town of Bayboro was menaced for several hours last night. Fires are
 said to have been raging all around the town. call for assistance was dis patched to Newborn, but later it was reported that the flames had swept by

CITY BEAUTIFUL
 HINTS FOR SPRING

In this column something has already been said about the advisability of using seed in which each color is kept by itself in order to secure the greatest possible degree of color harmony in the garden.
 Many persons think that they cannot afford to pay the extra prices which the seedsmen put on unmixed seed. It is true that 1t costs more than the seed in which all coiors are jumhled together. and 1t is also true that plants grown from it are really no better than those grown from unmixed seed, but the fact remains that it gives so much more satisfactory results, from an artistic standpoint, that it is not throwing money away, as some claim. to make use of it. Of course, If one gets as much pleasure from a mass of color with out regard to harmony as from fewer colors all in perfect harmony with one another, it would hardly be worth while to invest more money in such seed. But where the finest possible effects are de- sired contend that unmixed seed is cheapest, in that sense of the term that means the greatest satisfaction.

CANNOT CHANGE THE LOCATION OF BANKS
 IN FEDERAL RESERVE
Gregory Says the Board Cannot Move Bank From One City to
 Another

Washington, April 15-Attorney General Gregory today held that the federal reserve board has no authority to change the location of a federal re- serve bank. His opinion, submitted in response to request from the board. also held that there is nothing in the law to prevent reduction of the capital of reserve banks, fixed at S4,000,000 on organization. by the transfer of mem Der banks from one district to an other.
 The opinion halts the fight made by Baltimore bankers to have the board transfer the federal reserve bank in it's district from Richmond to Baltt- more and a similar effort made on behalf of Pittsburg in the case of the Cleveland reserve bank.
 The. Attorney Generals opinion. which was. not made public, is under stood to hold that inasmuch as the law provides that the charters issued to existing reserve banks shall run for 20 years, a banks location could not be changed without forfeiture of US charter, Wh1cn IS not permitted by law. An official desigua tion of reserve banks by the name of the cities in which they are located, 1t is under stood, is cited as one reason why the power of relocation does not rest with the board. It would be impossible, the Attorney General is said to have held, to transfer a bank without changing its name, which would require that the present banks charter be declared forfeited and a charter to it's successor issued. Otherwise. were 1t possible to transfer the bank, the name would re- main the same and the Richmond bank for instance. although located in Bal timore, still would be officially the federal reserve bank of Richmond.
