Potato House.
r. e. Currie. Superintendent of the
Pee Dee Experimental Station. and
Geo. p. Hoffman. Extension Horticui-
turist. have worked out plans for the
comission OF tobacco barns into sweet
potato storage houses. This changing
from one use to another should be a
great thing for the farmers in the
tobacco growing sections. especially
as our tobacco soils are also good
potato growing soils. Mr.. Hoffman
has already done a great deal for the
potato industry in this state by the
development OF properly ventilated
houses whore the temperature can be
controlled throughout the winte. The
results with such houses has been
very satisfactory.

RUSH FOR FOOD
Moose Army Supply Sale Big
Success Today.
Big Stacks of Canned Goods
Went Rapidly.

Those who saw the crowds standing
on the sidewalks in front of the Moose
club rooms this morning waiting pa
uently for their turns to enter and
buy, cannot doubt the success Of the
Moose clubs sale of surplus army
food. Within ten minutes after the
doors were opened at 9 o'clock the
big stacks OF cases began to melt away
like ice under a summer sun.
Only twenty-five or thirty persons
were admitted at a time, in order to
avoid congestion in the basement
where the sale is being conducted.
The final prices on the goods were
even lower than those announced Fri
day on many articles. Two policemen
were stationed at the doors to pre-
serve order and prevent crowding.
When the doors would be open for
a minute, there was a general rush
for the basement and frantic efforts
TO draw the attention of clerks. Many
persons seemed afraid they would miss
out altogether.
The entire supply OF baked beans
corn, Jam, syrup and canned soups
was exhausted at noon, at whlch tine
the sales had reached a total OF
$3.50. The doors will close at >
O'Clock and open again from unul
9 o'clock it was announced. A glance
at the names shows that the well-to-do
families of the city are awaiting them-
selves Of this unusual opportunity as
we'll as the poorer elements.
Postmaster w. o. Rigby received
word today that the shipments of par
eel post food from St Louis could not
be made for another week. The de-
Law was not explained. So far none

Permission to deliver the shipments
TO the doors OF the buyers was re-
ceived, however, and a special force
Of wagons and drivers Will be put on
in about a week to handle the rush,
Mr.. Rigby said. There is still large
amount OF the parcel post allotment to

CHANGE CHURCH NAME
Walnut Grove Congregation May Call
Church Trinity Methodist.

1t was decided at a meeting of
the official board of the Walnut Grove
Methodist church. held Friday night,
to suggest to the congregation Sun
day morning that the name Of the
church be changed to Trinity Metho-
dist.
The reason for the change Is that
when the church was first organized
it was located in the Walnut Grove
addition at Eighteenth and Harrison.
About ten years ago the church was
moved to the corner of Sixteenth and
Harrison. This is outside of the Wal
nut Grove addition.
1t was held that the name of the
church should have been changed
when it WAS first moved out of the
Walnut Grove addition. At present
the congregation is erecting a new
church building on the location at
Sixteenth and Harrison. 1t is desired
to change the name of the church and
give it to the new building when 1t
is completed.
At the meeting of the official board
there was practically a unanimous
vote in favor of making the change.
The matter will be placed before the
congregation Sunday morning and a
vote taken as to whether or not it is
desired to change the name of the
church.

day:
Il once asked n minister how he
got thru n certain service. He
answered grimly:
Well, bishop, the service was
soothing. moving and satisfactor. 1t
was soothing because over half the
J congregation went to sleep. 1t was
moving because half OF the other half
left before I was thru. And it must
