TAKE TINE BY THE FORE
LOCK

For several days one OF the
local banks has had on exhlbl-
ton that interesting and fearful
bug, the boil weevil, but if re-
ports which are received from
day to day are true it will not
be long before it ceases to be
curiosity but will be a reality in
our midst. In fact, it now
seems that it will reach here
much earlier than was expected.
Returning visitors from Pitt
County state that it is appearing
more and more rapidly and in
greater numbers every day, the
rainy, damp weather being ex-
tremely favorable toward its
| progress.
In this section, it had not gen
orally been expected that it
would reach here until next year,
but it now seems very likely that
the weevil will make it's first
appearance late this fall.
The program Of the local
|Chamber Of Commerce, assisted
| by tue banks and merchants OF
the community, has been discuss
ed time and time again unit
there is hardly a farmer in this
section but who has had the
Idea and plan presented to hin
in person, yet there are some
who still persist in putting of
until some future time his plan

better to sstake time by the fore

wait until ones crop is destroy
ed and bankruptcy is faced, fo
that is surely what will happe
if dependence is put upon cot

FRANCE STILL INSISTENf

The French government has
come out with a positive state
ment Of it's position regarding
any moratorium to Germany,
stating that it will not agree to
a moratorium on any terms ex-
cept that the German mines OF
the Ruhr district Of the National
Forest be placed in the hands OF
the allies as guarantee, and
that no matter what happens
France will not depart from this
policy.
It would seem that France
still retains a wholesome fear Of
Germany and it's aggressive
spirit and really still fears for
it's safety should Germany be-
come too rapidly rehabilitated.
While France may feel that
such an attitude is justified II
order to assure it's own safety
vet it is also resulting in delay
ing the economic rebuilding OF
Europe and delaying the retur,
to normal conditions through
cut the world.
France evidently has no con
fidence in the League Of Nations
whose covenants would guaran
tee her integrity and protec
her from any aggression on tn
part Of Germany under any Gil
cumstances.
However, France knows tn
German nature from experienc
and no doubt it is justified /
maintaining the attitude wnic]
it has assumed, but to the ba
ance Of the world it will be lool
ed upon as selfish position an
without consideration Of tE
greater benefit Of the large
number.

FARMERS FALLING IN LINE

The local agricultural agent
reports that forty-six farmers
have agreed to raise hogs under
his instruction, which is an ex-
cenent beginning on the program
which has been outlined with the
idea Of making this a hog pro-
ducing section. It is becoming
more and more evident every
day that the time will not be
long before this community will
face the boil weevil situation and
everything which is done now
to prepare for that day is that
much gained. Even if it should
nver reach here the program is d
sane and sensisble one.
Statistics show that there are
only eighteen thousand hogs
raised in Halifax County, Will

New York Preacher AssaiIs In.
fIuences of Movies and
Dance Halls.
BY EDWARD CARTY RANCK,
International News Service.


NEW YORK, March 2S.-"The mo.
ton picture houses and dance halls
are steadily grinding out grist for
the divorce mills" DIR. John Roach
Straton, fighting pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church, said today. Young
people should be encouraged to do
their counting in church."
DIR. Straton made that statement
when his attention was. directed to
remarks by DIR. Owen o. Brown, of
Los Angeles, who declared in an ad-
dress at Baptist Church conference,
held in Spokane, Wash, that court
ing should be encouraged at church
functions to help the young people
make matches among themselves in
the midst of good Christian influ-
ences.
1T do not entirely agree with DR..
Brown that Baptist young people
union meetings should be turned into
courting bees" DR.. Straton con.
tinued. THAT Is not necessary. II
the young people will come to church
the courting will take care of itself.
1T do think, however, that the
meeting of young people under the
auspices of the church is desirable
and proper. In other generations life
centered in the church and the home
and courtships were carried on un-
der proper Christian influences.
I'VE have got to get back to the
old-fashioned ideals. Young people
must be weaned away from the hec-
tic hallucinations of the modern dance
hall and motion picture theater that
are responsible for incalculable evils.
"It is for the church to counteract
the effect OF those evils. 1t can do
80 by encouraging young people to
do their courting In a Christian en-.
vironment as their grandfathers and
grandmothers did"

To Meet Churchill.
The Sim Fein leaders expected to
confer later in the day with Colonial
Secretary Winston Churchill.
A meeting OF the cabinet was held
just before noon. with Premier Lloyd
George presiding. The Irish situa-
ton was thoroughly canvassed. 1t
was understood that the premier
would have an audience with King
George at Buckingham palace late
in the afternoon. reporting upon the
efforts that are being made to re-
store territoriality in Northern Ire
land.

In the Irish provisional government
at Dublin. and Sir James Craig, pre-
mier Of the iinicnist government of
Ulster, are due tomorrow.
Churchill plYns to allow the Irish
to settle their differences among

ent plans. he will make a statement
and then retire.
The British government will not
interfere unless there In a grave dis
agreement.
Both Sides Hopeful.
Churchill is hopeful that the Irish
factions can reach q settlement
which VIII make it unnecessary to
declare martial law at Belfast or
have British troops take over the
Ulster border.
Coincident with the arrival of the
Sim Feiners, the violence in Ulster
seems to have died down. Shipping
continues at intervals on the Ulster
frontier, but the street fighting in
Belfast has quieted.
A bomb outrage in which three
persons were injured was reported
from Belfast early in the day.
Some one with wanton cruelty
tossed a bomb into a crowd of per-
sons who were watching q fire.

he would continue to pursue the
same policy toward the Irish Free
State that he had maintained since
it's creation.
There has been no breach of
faith on my part toward Michael

unemployment problem, and not any
organized boycott, is responding for
the inability Of Catholics to get

by International News Service.
The Senate will pass a soldiers
bonus bill at the present session,
according to predictions today by
leaders on both sides.
The big fght on soldiers COM
pensation in the Senate will be
centered on the effort of Repub-
licans to include a.sales tax a. q
provision for raising funds with
which to pay the bonus. The
sales tax feature. according to
every indication, will meet with
organised resistance, not only
from Democrats, but from within
the Republican ranks.
To Follow Tariff.
Administration leaders were ad.
verse to predicting when an effort
will be made to bring about bonus
legislation but the concensus of
opinion was that the measure will
follow the tariff bill now before the
senate finance committee. 1t Is
likely that the bonus bill will lie de-
bated In committee hearing within
two weeks.
The sales tax method of raising
bonus revenue will be championed
in committee hearing by Senator
Smoot (Rep) Of Utah. and Senator
Freylinghuysen Rep) of New Jersey.
Both Senators have voiced approval
of this means Of raising bonus
money but neither was willing to
predict success in the fight. The
floor fight will be shared by Senator
Edge CRep) Of New Jersey. who is
the Senate'a- most ardent sales tax
exponent.
Senator Simmons. of North Carol.
ina. ranking Democratic member of
the finance committee, said today he
favored q bonus measure but that
he was opposed to the bill passed by
the House. Simmons, IL was indi-
Gated. will lead the fight for raising
bonus funds from interest off the
foreign debt. His views are shared
by Senator Walsh, of Massach isetts.
and Harrison. of Mississippi. both oc
whom will support him in his fight.
VIII Change House Bill.
The House bonus bill will find -.
rious opposition in the Senate. and
the measure as II passes the Senate
doubtlessly will be naturally
changed in form. Nevertheless, it
will be a bonus bill.
A canvass Of Senators showed that
Edge, Freylinghuysen and Smoot
are Joined by Calder (RepD of New
York and Mclean Rep) of Con.
necticut in support Of a sales tax
provision. Their attitude may ulti-
mately also be supported by Sena-
tors Curtis (Rep.) Of Kansas and
