The management OF ELM
HURST feels n pardonable pride
in the wonderful results achieved
in practically one season. The
pre- position was opened up 10
1918. and had to contend with
conditions incident to the war,
Notwithstanding which fact there
are today upward Of one-quartcr
of a million dollars worth OF
homes completed and occupied by
happy owners. These homes pre-
sent a panorama of beauty and
are admired by all who have the
good fortune TO see them. In adj
dition TO the homes already com
pleted and occupied, we look for
large number of homes to be
built this season.
The company has secured an
addition to Elmhurst which VIII
be placed on sale on Saturday,
April gath, giving MS 1850 lots
which contain all the splendid
features so characteristic of Elm
hurst, and this addition will be
under the same management that
has made so signal success Of
Elmhprst, and the homcseekerH
will be accorded the same cour-
teous treatment that has made so
many friends for Elmhurst.
We are happy in the thonght
that we have helped in some way
to relieve the shortage of homes,
and ii is our hope and will be onr
constant endeavor to help others
TO get their own homes in the de-
yelcpment Of Elmhurst Exten-
sion.
This company is owned and
controlled by WilmingtonianA,
and we naturally have the inter
ests of this community at heart.
Our president is MFR. Max Mat.
thes, owner and proprietor of the
Wilmington Provision Co., which
he has managed with marked
success for the past IL years. He
is known from one end of the
State to the other as man whose
word is as good as his bond.
Our vice-president and general
manager, Mr.. Arthur nj. Matthcs,
has been interested for the past 20
years in the beef and provision
trade and is well and fayorably
known throughout the city.
Our secretary and treasurer,
Mr. Joseph r. Dunn, is we'll and
favorably known TO the business
men Of the city, havin~ for is
years been manager of the Swift
Co. local plant, and for several
years previous held like positions
in other sections.
| These men, assisted by our cour-
teous and able statesmen, Messrs.
McCleary and Farra, will be glad
at any time to meet you and take
up the matter of securing a home
site, and whether you buy or not
will be pleased to show you the
advantages of owning site at

Seventh grade children in the rural
SCHOOLS of North Carolina read no bet
ter than fifth grade children OF schools
in other states and the seventh grade
children OF the city school Of North
Carolina are on par with the sixth
grade children Of schools Of other
states according to q report OF the
General Education Board, which has
been making survey Of the educa'
tional situation In tho state, working
under the auspices OF the educational
commission appointed two years ago.
And that is not the worst of it, the
report declares after making an ex-
animation OF tests given in schools In
all parts Of the state, for the average
child In the seventh grade of the aver.
age rural school, OF North Carolina is
about two years older than he should
be.
Admitting that the state has made
great educational strides during the
past forty years, has made fine prog.
ress in the face of very adverse cir
cumstances, there is still great deal
left undone according to the experts
from the general education board
which has been in North Carolina for
more than year now. Better schools
will have to be erected, more teachers
trained and better salaries paid II we
expect to put North Carolina educa-
ton on a par with the material pros
perity Of the state.

LITTLE HOPE UNITED STATES
WILL RELIEVE EUROPE OF

Disarmament will be Imposed Only
With Due Regard for the Security
of The Different States.

Geneva.-The attitude among dele.
gates Of the assembly of the League
of Nations toward the appeal of the
league to President Wilson to act as
mediator in the Armenian situation
appears to be one of hope without ex.
pectation that the United States will
relieve Europe and the league Of an
embarrassing situation.
Behind the admitted necessity Of do
ing something for Armenia, there is
conflict of European interests involv-
ed Great Britain it is understood,
would look with great disfavor on in
PREVENTION by any power having rival
interests. Action by the United States
in Armenia, II is held, would involve
no such complications.
IN default of action by President
Wilson, general opinion here Is that
France is the country most likely to
offer favorable reply to the meditation
appeal made by the council OF the
league TO the various powers.
Committee number six Of the Assem-.
bly, has finally settled upon the prin-
ciple Of its report on disarmament the
French viewpoint prevailing Tho
will be that disarma-
ment be imposed only with due regard
for the security of the different states.
