Politics is waning up in this, the

to hold a convention for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Con-
gress, on Saturday, April 9Th.
"The congressional race in this dis
trict will be between Britt and Weaver
again this year, and the campaign will
be made without an issue. Mr.. Britt
claim that his election was stolen
from him, while Weaver will take up
his time in denying the charges of
theft and fraud. Both political par
ties ought to put out men who have
been mixed up in political

Who May Buy and Sell
Poultry Uuder Law

Raleigh, Feb. 16.-There has been
considerable confusion throughout
North Carolina as a result of the pub
,ished order of the food administration
affecting the trade in live and fresh
ly dressed hens and pullets. Accord
ing to State Food Administrator Hen
.ry A. Page, this order does not affect
local trade in North Carolina, since 1t
applies only to license dealers, prin-
cipally the cold storage concerns.
Every owner of a flock of poultry
is being urged as a patriotic duty to
refrain from selling fors laughter any
hens or pullets. Every hen that is
sold before the 1st of May will repre-
sent a food loss to the nation of an
average of not less than 80 eggs. II
the average number of hens and pull
cts usually sold from February 1 to
May 1 is sold this year it vii cause
aggregate loss of 150, 000,0 900 G
The value of these eggs is 80 per cent.
to 100 per cent. of the actual value of
the hens. The program being urged
by the food administration and the
department of agriculture will not en-
tail loss to the farmer but an actual
gain.
The cooperation of all consumers
of poultry products is also requested.
They are asked to forego the use of
fowls on their table during the next
few weeks except male stock.

NOTED DANCER
DIED FOR COUNTRY

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 15.-Captain
Vernon Castle of the British royal fly
ing corps, who braved death for more
than a year over the German lines
with but only a minor wound, met
death on a peaceful flying field today
in an effort to avert a collision with
another aviator. The Gldet aviator
with whom he was flying, r. Peters,
was only slightly injured.
Captain Castle, world famous as a
dancer, was killed when he prevented
what would have been certain death
for him, the cadet with him and an
aviator in another plane who was
landing NEARBY at what is known as
a blind angle"
Washington, Feb. 15.-In spite of
the frequent fatal accidents at the
aviation training camps during the
past week, the latest of which was the
death of Captain Vernon Cactle,
widely known American dance, at
Fort Worth, today, the war depart
ment considers the percentage small
considering the large number of stu
dents and the amount of flying they
are doing.
Dallas, Texas, Feb. 14.-The death
of Captain Vernon Castle, while flying
at Fort Worth, was the fifth in the

red within the same time in Houston
