New States Are Born.

In any event. the fact is that the
Paris conference found Middle Eu-
rope in chaos. Three states had
sprung into being where one had
been before, and in addition vast
regions of the old Hapsburg en-
pire had been occupied by Poles,
by Rumanians and by Jugo-SIavs
Frontiers had been drawn without
regard to economic necessities or
systems of transportation. What
had been an economic unit, although
an ethnic patchwork, had become
an economic nightmare. with ethnic
rivalries still surviving.
Today Austria clamors for admis-
sion to Germany. Hungary turns
east, west, north and south, passion
ately demanding the return of her
lost provinces. Czecho-Slovakia has
become new Switzerland, all the
ways to the sea and to the out
side world in alien and hostile
hands. threatened with partition be-
tween Germany and Hungary. DOOM
ed II Austrian demands should lead
in a future remote or near to the
extension of German frontiers to
Vienna and Gratz.

The hire of three good horses or
mules and a plow is So a day, and
the wages of a good hand, to run it
is 50 :, day, making each plow outfit
cost SIS a day when you can get it at
all; while this neighbor will rig up his
tractor to three good sized plows and
break his land from one to three
inches deeper than I do mine with
more expense than the cost of feed for
three good mules.

Planning to Make.
Organization Better
To Push the Chamber
of Commerce
Local Organization Plans An Exten-
sive Campaign This Week

! slve Campaign This Week
AT the annual meeting of the board
OF directors of the chamber of com
merce Saturday night it was unani-
| mously voted to conduct an active
membership campaign, Thursday and
FRIDAY, April 7th and 9Th, with the
view to securing. the membership of
every person and firm, who is interest
ed In the growth and prosperity of
! High Point.
The goal set byAthe committee is
for 400 members. The dues will be
S25 for supporting members Contrib
utlng members will be accepted on the
basis of voluntary contributions but
not less than SIS.
Immediately following the member
ship drive, the annual meeting will be
called at which officers and directors
will be elected. Plans will be laid for
the activities of the chamber for the
year 1921.
1t was the concensus Of opinion that
the chamber is more needed today
than ever before. More active adver-
tlslng is NEEDED, due to the changed
business conditions. The location of
permanent roads by, the state high
way commission will be done in the
near future and what High Point gets
will depend upon the activities of it's
organizations, principally the chamber
of commerce.. 4s@
The accomplishments of the chamber
have been gratifying, particularly in
view of the relatively small expendi-
lures made. The report of the secre-
tary, among other things, showed that
2,21O mail, inquiries have been an
swered. Eighty-six meetings of vari-
Gus kinds have been held in the rooms
of the chamber. The chamber has
been instrumental in locating fifteen
new businesses in High Point.
Notwithstanding what has been, ac-
complished by the chamber, it is be-
lievd that more active support can be
obtained by acquainting the citizens
with the possibilities of the chamber.
1t was pointed out that relatively High
Point spends much less on'its chamber
of commerce than Greensboro, Win
ston-Salem or Charlotte. During the
last year these cities spent from four
to ten times as much on it's chamber
of commerce as High Point,
It is the purpose of the teams con-
Quoting the membership drive to bring
forcibly to the attention of every cit
zen the Importance of the chamber of
commerce in the growth and prosper
ity of High Point.

state and in the office of the clerk of
Superior court for Guiiford county.
The amendment is provided for. DR..

ers OF High Point, is told in one SEN
tence: "1n the primary hereinafter

oughiy to number of people and that
he would be glad to give any further

Vided they will call. at his office

For the past several days there has

city or for only the councilman in
their respective ward.
