MUST ENTER NOV
TO Win DIAMOND
The Herald's Contest Offers Bright
Chance for Some Energetic Boy
or Girl to Win One Of the
Valuable Prizes. A Good
Deal Depends on the

FAIREST CONTEST EVER HELD

Have you seen the $4,000 Dia
mond Ring and the $500 Elgir
watches now on display at W. G.
Lynch's Jewelry Store? If you
have seen these prizes we know
that you are considering getting
out and working for them. They
are we'll worth the effort it will
take to land one of them.
Remember this is not an average
contest in many ways. First. ir
length, it is not a long-winded
affair as are most newspaper
contests; it will be all over in
eight weeks. There are only
forty five more days before the
prizes are awarded to those who
had the ability to see an oppor.
tunity and the force to grasp it.
Another unusual feature about
this contest is the fact that for
every one who participates there
will be either a prize or a check
for cash commissions earned on
Christmas morning. You can't
lose by entering you stand a
good chance of getting the dia-
mond ring or one of the gold
watches, and you have certainty
of getting paid for the work you
do if you should fail to win
PRIZE.
The standing of the contestants
will be published next week. II
you haven't already done so,
come to the Herald office and get
a receipt book and full par
ticulars. Any person with
little spare time and even an
ordinary amount of ginger can
win a prize and to-day is the
best possible time to begin work.

Dent SAYS KITCHIN
Eloquent Democrats Pays Wilson
Glowing Tribute in Rosemary
Speech Last Tuesday. Defends
Administration Measures
RECORD. BREAKING ATTENDANCE

Before the largest audience
ever gathered at Rosemary fol-
any purpose, Hon. Claude
Kitchin, leader of the Democrat
ic party in Congress, Aayed the
opposition with all the merciless
eloquence of former years. Mr.,
Kitchin has lost none of his or
atorical ability since last he
spoke in this community and he
has gained if anything in his
ability to harass and discomfort
the Republicans.
Mr., Kitchin began the attack
on the defensive, paradoxical as
it may sound. The old story Of
Lacy versus Linney was again
to the front and Mr.. Kitchin
showed that the North Carolina
Democrats were not guilty of
extravaganza as charged by
candidate Linney, but called
attention to the great progress
that the State has made in ed
ucation, care of the insane, ETC.,
since the Democrats have been
in power.
The local Hughes-Linney Club
received attention, a comparison
being drawn between the men,
Der of that organization and the
leaders of Democracy here. In
national issues, Mr.. Kitchin
defended the Administration S
Mexican policy, the Underwood
Tariff the Adamson Eight Hour
Law, the Federal Reserve act
the Clayton Legislation, and the
foreign policy of the administra-
ton which has kept US in peace
and brought prosperity. The
preparedness program was con-
spicuously absent from the list
of virtuous deeds, being apollo
gized for, in fact, along with the
repeal of free tools.
1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Kitchin held his audience
Had he not been the magnificent
orator he most assuredly is, his
position in the government OF
this country would have guaran-
teed him the careful attention
of his audience, which hung
upon every word. Mr.. Kitchin's
peroration was an eloquent plea
for the support of Woodrow
Wilson who has given the
country the most constructive
and efficient administration it
has had.

Wind Favors Allies
In Attack with Gas

Correspondence OF the Associated Presa)
PARIS, Feb. 10.-Very little IL heard
now OF the effects OF suffocating gas at
the front, though the official communique
frequently mentions attacks in which II
has been used. The report some months
ago, that 5000 French soldiers succumbed
to II in the Argonne through neglect
to distribute protecting masks, seems to
have been forgotten. and In the absence
Of other reported casualties anxiety seems
to have disappeared. Able Moreaux, dt-
rector OF the Bourses observatory. ex-
plains why the Germans are at q great
disadvantage on account Of the winds,
and how the allies could dominate them
In that kind OF warfare II they saw tit.
The battlefront. excepting betveen
Noyon and verdun. runs In a generally
northeriy- direction, the rest Of
II east and west. while the north OF
France and Belgium are ali the year
round subjected TO general Atlantic winds;
that is TO say, winds carrying between
west and southwest" he says. MY cai-
cuiations. based on the central meteoro-
logical bureau statistics, show that only
twenty-eight times In 100 during the en-
tire winter on an average. has the wind
blown from the east. southeast or north
east: consequently in the winter sepson
a German gas attack has only twenty
eight chances in 100 Of success. while
an attack by the allies with the same arm
has seventy-two chances In 100 on the
fronts running from north to south. On
the 'front.' running from east 10 west the
conditions are less favorable TO the allies.
the north winds being in the ratio of
thirty In 100 in winter. and forty In 100 In
spring. thirty-eight In 100 in summer and
twenty-etght In 100 In autumn"
Summing up his calculations. Abbe
Moreaux thinks the Germans have less
than one chance in three the year around,
while the allies have more than two
chances in three Of effective use Of suf-
locating gas.
