DECLARES LEGISLATIVE
 MEMBERS INELIGIBLE
Attorney General Rules They May Serve as Delegates, but Can't
 Accept Offices.

Little Rock, March 24.-A member f the Forty-frst general assembly |tan be elected delegate to the con- htitutional convention, but cannot be appointed or elected to any civil of flee under the state for the term for which he was elected to the legisla- ture
 This is the construction that has been placed by Attorney General Ar buckle upon Section 9, Article 5, of the constitution:
 "No senator or representative shall, during the term for which he shall have been elected, be appointed or elected to any civil office under this state"
 It all depends upon the meaning of the term "any civil office under this state." It is held by the attorney general that the, position of delegate to the constitutional convention does not come under the inhibition. This will be a relief to a large number of the members of the recent legis- IdLuFe WHO arc CdHuIudIcS lOI uSiS- gate.
 But it is held as definitely and de- cisively that the constitutional pro vision will prohibit any member of the house or senate from holding any position, appointive or elective, on any commission. or board, or in any department of the state government, during the term for which they were elected members of the legisla- ture. The one most prominently af- fected by this decision is Representa- tive Bonnie Davis of Columbia, who had been slated for the office of dep uty warehouse commissioner, under the act of which he was the author. There are also a deputy game war den, deputy gasoline inspector and a clerical position involved.
 In advising Representative o. $. Robbins of Searcy that he is ineli- gible to the office of deputy oil in spector, General Arbuckle says:

FOOD CAMPAIGN
TO CLOSE SEPT l.
FULL SUMMERS WORK HAS COST
STATE ONLY SIXTEEN HUN.
DRED DOLLARS.

County and State Organization Of Con-
servation Commission Will BE
Maintained For Further Service.

/ Ralelgh.-The summer statewide
campaign for food production and
conservation has been conducted at a
cost of not more than sixteen hun
dred dollars, according to Executive
Secretary John Paul Lucas, who was
IN his office after having delivered a
number Of addresses in the interest

State. During the month of August
the activities of the food conservation
commission will be pushed to the

TENDER 1.
LAS great as have been the results
Of the activities of the food conserva-
ton movement, which received the
most generous sort of support from
the press and various civic organiza-
tons of the state" said Mr.. Lucas,
next summer will see it bear fruit
age double that Of this summer. The
work has been started and it will go
on, with rising interest every year
until North Carolina reaches it's limit
OF production and until every map
who can does his part in the produc
ton and the conservation of food
During the remaining few weeks Of
the campaign the Importance of a
large. acreage of fall sown grain, win.
ter gardens, improved market condi-
tons and the development of the live
stock industry as well as the present
necessity for the conservation of all
food and feed stuffs, will be vigorously
emphasized.
When the commission was organic
ed in April a campaign Of three
months was contemplated. The ur-
gency and Importance of the work be-
ing recognized, later it was decided to
continue the campaign until Septem-
Der LIST. During this time, the COM
mission, through it's executive secre-
tary, John Paul Lucas, has conducted
vigorous and effective propaganda
for increased food and feed produc.
tion and for the conservation of food
and feed stuffs. The newspapers of
the state have co-operatead heartily
and most effectively in this work.
In addition to this propaganda the
commission has worked through and
in cooperation with the County Food
Conservation Commissions, which
were organized in the 100 counties of
the state; the chamber of commerce,
boards of trade and other commercial
bodies of the state; and through
other agencies which might influence
food production and conservation.
The organization of the commission
will be kept intact to be called upon
by the Governor in event of any emer-
gency requiring its services or action.
The. County Food Conservation Com
missions will be urged to continue
their work as actively as possible.

Has Patriotic MEETING.

Monroe.-An anti-conscription meet.
Ing called for noon one day last week
at Monroe, was turned into a patriotic
meeting. Ex-Governor Cole L. Blease
OF South Carolina, had been invited
to deliver an address but some bust
ness engagement prevented him from
being present.
Some patriotic citizens of Monroe
and Union county took hold of the sit
uat1on and invited Mr.. j. j. Parker, a
prominent young Republican to ad-
dress the meeting and he did so.
This turned the supposed anti-draft
rally upside down, inside out. In place
of meeting Of protest and disloya1ty
1t became a patriotic meeting.
Mr.. Parker talked straight from the
shoulder and declared this war to be

ing in the world struggle it. becomes
the duty OF every patriotic American
to stand by the President and uphold
his hands that he may press the war
for safety Of America and for the

that those who had called the meeting
had been misinformed about the send

ec1ooLs OR ADDITIONS TO
SUCH STRUCTURES.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
ooinqs and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo-
nile. Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Raleigh.

Insurance Commissioner James P.
Young in an interview attacked the
nolicv employed in some counties and
ditions to school buildings already IN
safe when the lack of ready money
ronjd prevent the erection of a new
building.
u must admit that it puzzles me to
understand why people will persist in
erecting unsafe buildings. Is it from
lack of thought or is it purely because
Of the habit? It cannot be to save a
few dollars in the construction cost
as this will be more than made up in
few years in insurance and upkeep
cost.
ut is indeed poor policy to erect
buildings liable to burn by reason of
their construction but nothing less
than criminal to erect buildings that
are a menace to the lives of their oc-
cupants. Take as an example our
school buildings. Certainly they
should be made safe for our children.
school disasters involving the death
of many children are occurring from
time to time all over our country.
Fortunately so far none have occurred
in our state. But fathers and mothers
in North Carolina note the fact that
the loss of lives in school buildings
have occurred in the class of buildings
to which the best buildings in our
state, excepting possibly less than a
dozen. belong. Is this not a sufficient
warning to you and your school Of
fcers?
Under the plea of lack Of money,
not only unsafe school buildings are
being erected, and safe ones can be
erected for the same money, but ad-
ditional rooms are being added to
buildings admittedly unsafe. Is it
good business judgment or even hui
name to make places in unsafe build
ings for more children rather than
make the buildings safe for those that
can be accommodated? Is this course
forced by a demand of the parents?
Are our parents willing to take the
risk? Not il they realize what they
are doing. Let the first money spent
on an unsafe school building be used
to make it safe for the children who
are to occupy it.
"The law Of North Carolina requires
the insurance commissioner to pass on
the safety of all school buildings. He
is unwilling to carry the load OF re-
sponsibility without doing all in his
power to make these buildings safe
and warn the people. The use Of fire
escapes and fire drills will give only
small per cent of safety. Full safe
ty and its protection for children must
be sought in the construction Of the
buildings"

More Volunteer From West.

Greensboro-Since the entrance of
the country into war in the early part
of April, 1927 men have been recruit
ed from North Carolina at the var
fous offices for recruiting in the state.
The number for July was 191. This
is about three times the number re-
cruited from state in normal times
according to the statement from the
headquarters for North Carolina In
this city. The greater number Of re-
cruits have come from the western
part OF the state, while the eastern
part has been slow to furnish men.

State Must Increase Wheat.


It has been estimated that North
Carolina needs 100000 bushels of
wheat for food. The normal crop pro-
ouced in the State amounts to about
100000 bushels, and from this it
may be seen that it is necessary for
the state to produce 100000 bushels
more in order to make enough for our
Dread. With a good price assured for
wheat during the coming year, and
with the imperative necessity of there
being a good supply on hand, all
available land should be planted this
1all over all the western and Pied
mont sections Of the state.
According to Mr.. G. B. Williams,
chief Of the Division of Agronomy,
wheat will be a safe and profitable
crop for the coming year. If this in
creased acreage is to be put in, how
sVer, 1t should be remembered that a
"eu-prepared seed-bed pays, and that
ueep blowing will increase the yield.
special pains should be taken to p1ow
ana harrow the land until the soil is
good friable condition before the
S00o are planted. Now is the time to
OSsln making plans for securing the
S0eu wheat. 1t will be high and scarce
later on.
North Carolina can produce enough
Oteao to feed herself by observing six
-u"in factors: By planting more
"neat this fall; by securing good seed
~ inc best varieties now; by prepar-
lug tne ground early and thoroughly;
w treating the seed for smut; by
G GslIs farm manures and the right
anas OF fertilizer, and by planting
sufficiently early.
