BAKERS CELEBRATE THE
ORGANIZATION. IN
18TH CENTURY
iBy Associated Press

Berlin, July 24.-Berlin old
est trades associa ton, the bakers
guild, this month observed the
65Oth anniversary Of its founding.
Although this organization.
which was known originally as
the Germania guild, dates back
only to 1912. there is documen-
tary evidence that the bakers
trade was piled here as early as
1890. By 1890 there were $50
members enrolled. Meanwhile
another association of bakers,
the Konkordia, sprang up, and in
1911 the two organizations were
amalgamated in body which
now requires affiliation Of every
baker in the city. The present
membership includes 1870 con-
Germs.

Major d. ID. Pullen, U. S. Distrioe
Engineer, that hearing will be
held in Scotland Neck a t the
Dixie Theatre Friday, July 2Sth
at l 100 P. NJ, for the purpose of
considering the request of the
North Carolina State Highway
Commission for permission to
construct a highway bridge across
Roanoke River at a point known

pose is to hear anyone either for

Argument will be made for the
elimination of the draw, as the

ably never will.
All property owners on both
sides of the river affected are
earnestly requested to attend the
hearing SO that there will be no

Board, Senator Fletcher declared. |
IF the chairman Of the board, j
instead OF furnishing arguments

to persuade the oters Of the coun-
try to favor this bill, would spend
his time and devote his e,, ~gies
to persuade the others of coun-
ers that they ought to patronize(
their own shipyards; and Ameri-I
can merchants that they 'oughtI
to give their business to Ameri-i
can ships; and American bankers
that they ought to encourage
American shipping, that would
be much more helpful in estab-|
fishing an American merchant
marine.'
Senator Fletcher declared that
the Shjpping Board under Ch;air-
man Lasker's auspices had be-
come the notorious resort of
political place hunters, and has
been used to a disgusting and
scandalous extent as a pilitical
machine. In the same breath
with deprecations of the big
American fleet under his control
and pleas for it's sale or donation
to private interests, Chairman
Lasker is seeking to enlarge the
powers and expenditures of the
Shipping Board, Senator Fletch-
er showed.
Philip Manson, practical au-
thorlty on the subject of shihp-
| ping, has testified that the ship
subsidies advocated by President
! Harding and Chairman Lasker
would be utterly futile in Great
ing a merchant marine.
In testimony given before the
Senate Committee on Commerce,
Mr.. Manson said:
Il say to you that the only
thing subsidies will do will be to
transfer from the public treas
ury % the pockets of a few fav-
ored steamship men. some Of
whom have appeared before the
Committee, large sums Of tax-
/ payers money, and, what is
worse, it will perpetuate the
graft and incompetence which IS
now the real reason for our fail
ure to have an American mer-
chant marine -.
Payment Of subsidies to private
corporations for operating ships
would commit the taxpayers to
a costly program Of indefinite
continuance Senator Fletcher
said. He dissented from the
views Of President Harding and
Ilharman Lasker, who propose
/ subventions as the only sure
means Of upbuilding an Ameri-
can merchant marine.
"The vision Of a merchant ma
rine coming out of this bill is

THE PUBLIC SHOULD
NOT BE ALARMED

Hale Holden. president Of the Bur
| lington, said today that his reports
show railroad service to be practi-
cally normal, and that the broadcast
rumors concerning defective equip
ment should not alarm the public
TO date there have been no de-
railments or accidents on the Bur-
Islington system, due to failures in
inspection or repairs" said Mr.. Hol-
den. "The fact that we have 119
servicable engines in excess of our
requirements, and that 1t has not
been necessary for us to draw on
this surplus. answers the defective
equipment and interrupted service
reports SO far as the Burlington is
concerned.
In common with most roads we
had an adequate number of skilled
men in service from the beginning of
the strike, to make all inspections
and running repairs necessary to
maintain safe train service. For a
time our working forces were large
| ly confined to seeing that equipment
in operation was kept in safe condi-
dion. The rapid increase of mechan-
| ical forces in the past two weeks
has made 1t possible to give COM
plete overhauling and rebuilding to
some equipment in addition to per-
forming current repair work to cars
and engines in service. Five loco
motives received heavy repairs and
were turned out Of our West Burling-
ton shops since August 4. We are
holding thousands of empty coal cars
in good order on track, awaiting re-
sumption Of mining in our territory.
On July l, the equipment requir-
ing repairs on this railroad was 9H
per cent Of the total-slightly above
normal. AS the strike advanced.
this percentage increased to- IL per
cent. but with the restoration of our
skilled forces, We are again back to
9h per cert-the same figure as on
July I. and we are gaining every
day. For instance. cn August l we
repaired $50 cars and on August s,
951 cars were put back into service
There has been no letdown in our
inspection service-this work con.
tinues to be performed in accordance
with interstate commerce commission
requirements. Our shop craft forces
now number S,041 men. 461 new en-
ployes having been added yesterday.
During July we handled 1927
cars Of freight more than the same
month last year and August is show
inga similar increase. notwithstand-

wire on racks.
Seed corn should always be- well
and thoroughly dried. From seed
properly dried perfect termination

Many experiments have shown that
corn thoroughly dried will stand any
