WANT LAW AGAINST FRAUD IN
= ADVERTISING.

Proposed Bill Would Make it Misde-
meanor to Put Out False Claims.
Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 25.-To make
it. a misdemeanor\ to publish a false
or, misleading statement in an ad-
vertisement, a bill will be introduced
in the North Carolina General AS
sembly this week, at the request of
the Charlotte Advertisers Club, COM
posed of the leading business houses
of this city.
There was a time when certain
firms and individuals made use of
misleading statements in their adver-
tisements, but in later years this has
been materially reduced. 1t is the
desire and intention of advertisers in
general to make their use illegal, so
that the truthful advertiser may be
protected from the individual or firm
who is not so particular about his rep
utation The following draft of the
bill has been sent to the Mecklenburg
delegation in the legislature with re-
quest to introduce at the first oppor-
,tunity:
IF ments Illegal and to Provide Pun
( ishment Therefor.
The General Assembly of North Car
- olina do enact:
6 Section 1. That it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person. firm or corpora
ton to make, publish, disseminate,
circulate or place before the public,
or to cause, directly or indirectly, to

circulated or placed before the pub
lie in this state; in a newspaper, or
other publication, in the form of a
boob. catalogue, notice. handbil1, post
er, bills, circular, pamphlet or letter,
or in any other manner an ADVERTISE
ment of any kind containing any as
sertion, representation or statement
of fact which is untrue, deceptive or
misleading, with the intent to sell or
in any manner dispose of goods, wares
or merchandise offered by such per-
son, firm or corporation, directly or
indirectly to the public for sale or dis
tribution, or to induce the public to

therein.

corroration violating the provisions
of this act shall be guilty of misde-
mea1or and upon conviction shall be

THE BOND ISSUE.

The pressing need for High
School building in High Point is in
creasing each year. 1t has been sug
gested that hospital be erected as
memorial to our soldiers and sailors
We admire the spirit, but why not a
High School building just as we'll? II
is just as fitting memorial, and is
much more needed than hospital
Our schools are much more important
than any other public institutions.
Asheville has been constructing a
High School for two years and just
now is calling for $150, ,OOowith which
to finish it. Greensboro wants $780,
600 to put into a High School build
ing. Salisbury and Charlotte also
have High School buildings under
construction. Will $4,000 do for
High Point what should be done?
Surely city of our size and import
ance does not want to do things by
halves
think that High Point as other
cities should have separate build
ing for it's High School, and such a
building to be a credit should cost at
least $4,000 or 100000.
A High School building should have
plenty of room inside and out, play
grounds and gymnasium, and by all
means should be built for the future.
IF High Point could get such a build
ing, it should be built to accommo-
date both the Junior and Senior High
School. The Junior High School con-
sists Of the sixth and seventh grades,
the Senior High School consists OF
the eighth through the eleventh
grades. If the Junior High School
were incorporated into the building it
would better. fit them to enter the
High School proper with the same
course of preparation, which is now
made impossible by one section being
located at Elm Street and the other
at South Main Street Another great
advantage of separate High School
would be the relief from all annoy
ance by the grammar grades, which,
under present condition, make study
almost impossible during their recess
and after their dismissal at two
o'clock. We sincerely hope that
every true citizen who has the inter-
est of High Point at heart will work
increasingly for High School build
ing that will be a credit to our city.

Dear Mr.. Stamey:
I guess you will be surprised that
1 am back in the, hospital once more.
l was operated on for appendicitis, but
am feeling better now and expecting
to be on the way home soon. 1 don't
know how I will be classified I have
been to three hospitals while l have
been in France and am glad I took
it over here so that l won't have to
take it at home for it costs me moth
ing in the army.
Some of the boys have gone home
on account of appendicitis and
think all those that were operated on
will be sent home, because they can
do no work for several months and
they will need good rest at home.
am expecting to be home about the
middle of March. The 30th division .
is about to start home now. 1 saw
the boys marching on their way to an
other camp and they will be deloused
before sailing. l saw a few of the

guess they got Knocked out" 1
saw John R. Carroll when he fell on
the field and I was behind his com
pany when he got killed and after we
went cover the top we came back
and buried the dead. I saw some of
the High Point soldiers lying on the
battlefield at the time when I got
wounded. think that Co. M boys
will be home about the middle Of
March or earlier. They will tell you
all the game.
I don't think you will have the op-
portunity to write me, because I will
be on the way home any day, so /
just wanted to write you anyhow to
let you know something about me.
Hope you all are we'll and give my
regards to your loved ones and keep
in touch with me till I see you.

HOLD YOUR COTTON - STRONG
ASSOCIATION BEHIND PLAN.
ASSOCIATI

The North Carolina Cotton Assocla-
ton formed here recently bids fair to
be a vital factor in the campaign for
the reduction of cotton acreage and
the holding of cotton in the South.
The association predicates it's activ1-
ties strictly upon business principles
and propose to reach every farmer
in the state with it's arguments.
A thorough organization has been
formed for the execution or the
plans along the lines so successfully
followed by the Liberty Loan cam
paigners and the outlook is encourag-
ing for a complete cOnsummat1On OF
the undertaking. -,
Efforts have been made in the
South before to secure concerted ac-
ton on the part Of cotton farmers
They failed. But the situation is diff
ferent this time. The business IN
terests are behind the farmers as
never before. Bankers, merchants
and patriotic professional men met
here the other day with the cotton
growers. A solid front is being pre-
sented to thsoe who would take the
farmers cotton at less than fair
price Complete harmony of aim and
of ways and means prevails. Thanks
to the lessons of the war and costly
experience apart from the war, the
need and teh efficacy of cooperation
have been stressed as never before
and with good results.
Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the
Progressive Farmer urges the farm
ers to hold their cotton and reduce
acreage. His advice and an adver-
tisement in today's paper deserve
careful reading not only by cotton
farmers and others directly interest
ed in cotton, but by every one who
wants to be posted on one OF the very
biggest of the questions that are con-
fronting the South at this time.
It would certainly seem that the
farmer stands to gain by following
the advice of the Cotton Association,
anad indeed lis bound to follow that
advice. The cut in cotton acreage
and the corresponding increase in
food and feedstuff acreage and live
stock production is the standard adj
vice of the experts of both the nation
al and the state agricultural depart
ments, advice which can hardly lead
the farmer astray.
AS to holding the 1918 crop, that
seems the part of ordinary prudence
in view of the present relatively. low
price of cotton, while the obvious
necessity for holding cotton when
ever the price is not profitable ind1-
Gates very convincingly the need for
the complete warehOustng system ad-
vocated by some of the members OF
the legislature. ~,

PLANS COMPLETED FOR

President Fails in Plan to Land at
Antwerp on Return to Paris and
Visit Brussels.
Paris, March 1.-As the result of an
exchange of cable messages today be-
tween President Wilson and the Am
erican delegation, plans were com
p1eted for the Presidents return to
Paris and for the early assembling
thereafter of the peace congress, with
German delegates present.
President Wilson at first planned
to have the George Washington land
him at Antwerp, then to visit Brus=
sells, pass through the devastated re-
gions of Belgium and France and from
there proceed ato Paris for the re-
sumption CT the work of the confer
ence. He desired to accomplish this
in the understanding that Premier
L1ovd George would be in Paris.
Colonel House, in a talk by tele-
phone with Mr.. Lloyd George at Lon
don, learned the premier would be
obliged to return to London by March
r22. Accordingly the Presidents land
ing at Antwerp and his visit to Brus-
sells were given up.
He will land at Brest March 12 or
IA, and come direct to Paris. The
British prime minister will reach
Paris about the same time and with
the others of the council of the great
powers they will take up the prelimi-
nary peace treaty. 1t is expected
these sessions will last until about
March %. When Mr.. Lloyd George
will return to England and President
Wilson will go to Brussels and the
devastated regions.
The peace treaty will probably
reach such a definite stage during the
sessions in which President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George will take
part a decision may be reached for
the assembling of the peace congress.
with Germans present, between April
! and 10. The peace treaty will then
be presented and will include mill

features, ALI of which will in the
meantime be formulated.

SOME OPPOSITION TO THE PRO-
POSED HOSPITAL. -

meeting by number OF the man
ufacturers and other business men IN
opposition to the proposal to issue
bonds in the sum of 100000 for the
erection and maintenance of memo
rial hospital in the city was held late
Thursday, city officials being invited:
The manufacturers urged the council
men and mayor to reconsider their re-
cent resolution to submit the proposal
to the voters of the city during the
May election, saying that there was
no popular demand for it. The recent
ly submitted petitions in behalf OF
the hospital from fraternal organiza-
tons were discounted, it is stated, by
the statements that they represented
only the sentiments of the officials OF
the organizations.
The councilmen did not promise to
change their present stand ana were
informed that each manufacturer
would have caused to be passed
through his plant petition asking a
c0Uncilistic reconsideration TO De
signed by all employees.
Since the hospital project was t1rst
discussed, the opponents OF the meas
IRE have harped on the fact that the
''0nded indebtedness OF the city is al.
ready too large, "a milliond and hall
dollars" High Point has issued Donos
totalling $1O5S,OO0 and of this total
$453G00 fails to stand charged against
the Indebtedness by government off1-
'i2ls, since they are revenue produc-
ing bonds. This leaves the net
amount at 1925 900. The property val
uation, even at the present low rate
is about $6,5OO,OOO. 1t is Mayor stan
toms statement that the city can al
ford to finance the proposal without
jeOpardizing it's financial stability.
