SMILES AD0RN
FACES OF LOCAL
PEA GROWERS

In spite of the fact that the
crops of May Peas is exceedingly
short because of the frosts last
week and continued dry weather
while they are filling out, fam
crs in town this week bore a happy
smile because the shipments OF
peas this week were selling from
SO to $3.50 per basket for the bet
ter grades.
There were only a few farmers
shipping early peas this week; the
shipments will gradually increase
next week and are expected to reach
the peak week after next. Every in
dication is that the prices will still
hold good and the farmers will make
a little money on their crop this
year, according to S. G.. Scott, pro-
duce man of this city.
In discussing the Irish potato
situation Mr.. Scott expressed the
belief that the farmers will also
make money on this crop this year
He estimates that the crop will sell
from SO to SIS a barrel and will aver
age somewhere around $3.50 to $4
The yield in this section will be fair
ly good, according to Mr.. Scott, but
the acreage has been cut so per
cent with a stand of about IS per
cent.
The Eastern Shore crop will be
about like that of this section says
Mr.. Scott, with their acreage cut
so per cent, but with go per cent
stand. The South Carolina crop
this year is expected to be nearly as
large as that Of last year. Altho the
South Carolina planters cut their
acreage half they are expecting to
harvest nearly as many potatoes as
they did last year, their yield being
the best that has ever been seen in
that State.

People 4 re
Paying
Their Taxes

Tax collections to date for Pas
quotank County are far behind
those of last year according to
Sheriff Chas. Carmine. People
lust wont come up with their tax
cs until they have to and many OF
them wait until their property Is
advertised before they pay.
Farmers in Pasquotank County as
a rule pay their taxes out OF their
truck crops, and the new tax laws
recurring the sheriff to advertise all
property on which taxes have not
been paid by May 1st, works hard
ship on them. Money is tight with
the average farmer during the first
of the year. The money that comes
from what produce he has to sell at
this time of the year is used to pur-
chase implements for his farm ana
commodities for the family; he just
has to wait for his truck money
before he can pay his taxes.
But the farmer is not in a class
bv himself the city man also waits
until the last minute to pay his tax
es One man in paying his taxes
! last week, gave the sheriff ten silver
dollars, a manifestation that money
with this man was tight or else he
never would have turned those ten
silver dollars loose.
Under the new law the sheriff
will be required to advertise next
week all property on which taxes
have not been paid. Better pay up

TUDOR FRITZ NlNSLOW. IL
year-cld citizen Of Hertford. Per-

the old school, He was Of old
Colonial Quaker stock. His father.
the late Frank WinSlow left four

SLOW marks the passing of the last

by four children. Hon. Frank Win

GRADUALLY the older heads of
business institutions in Elizabeth
City are dropping out to make room
for younger blood. Harry w.
Dewey was made manager of the
Norfolk & Carolina Telephone g.
Telegraph Company some six years

ity to place on the shoulders of one
so young in years; but Harry Dewey
has demonstrated his ability tt

years. The company has been
steadily forging ahead under his
managership and today has some
thing like 1000 telephones in use
and one of the best telephone serv-
ices to be found anywhere. Good
natured and always courteous. H.

the most trivial complaints and dc
what he can to remedy them, and
has won his present position with
the telephone company by hard

. BY WILSON P. floss

Four Story House as
Family Residence.

Wilson P. Foss of New York has
purchased as the Washington residence

detached Georgian house located at

Inc. from Morris Cafritz, who acquired

depth of ITO feet. 1t contains "a main
rooms. There is large garden on one

Home owners who object to being
"bathed" in gasoline fumes from passing
motors as they take the air on their
verandas, and mothers who shiver with
visions of accidents until their children
return from school, will be interested in
what is going on in Radburn, N. j.; says
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Houses in Radburn are turned inside
out" so the porcheS front on the gar
dens. while streets in Radburn are laid
out so the pedestrian can pursue his
way without thinking of his accident
insurance.
If any one gets a bad break in this
"made-to- order" town it will be the
hired girls. who will have to look out
on traffic tie-ups as they stir the soup;
but the home owner, who after all IS
the one who paid for the house, will be
sitting on the edge of quiet garden,
the association explains.
Radburn has been raised directly
from real estate deed with no mis-
takes of early settlers to make the task
difficult. It has been financed by New
York capitalists and is being built by
the City Housing Corporation that has
been engaged for some years in demon
StrationS of how to increase the effici-
cncy of American homes.
In this city. planned to house a popu-
lation of IS 900, a network of garden
walks connect groups of houses and
traverse the entire community without
crossing a vehicular traffic street. These
footpaths are reached from the garden
doors of these houses that are built
around short closed streets. so that only
the few automobiles going directly to
these houses will ever pass their doors.

Houses in Made-to-Order City Face Rear;
Through Traffic Elevated to Save Citizens

Radburn was laid out by city plan
ners who hold that there should not be
through traffic on every street, and II
town is raised up" from the beginning
with short auxiliary streets traffic can
be regulated for all time to come and
residential streets need not be so wide.
A through stree. circles this town and
cuts through its center. but pedestrians
do not have to cross it. but go under 1t
via a tunnel Thus school children, no
matter on what street they live, can go
to and from their studies in safety.
The backs of the Radburn houses
front on the auxiliary streets on the
theory that the noises, dirt and fumes
from modern traffic is Objectionable to
the home owner, and that few feet OF
front yard do not remove him Tar
enough from this confusion. Therefore.
the Radburn houses are turned around
so the living rooms, dining rooms and
porches look out on gardens provided
by the Eadburn plan and the kitchens
look out on the stub" end streets.

Moves Made for
Open Fish Ground,

Pittsfield, Mass, March 2S.-F)-A
movement that may have far-reach-
ing consequences to anglers every
where is embodied in q plan to in
sure public fishing grounds.
A similar movement is In swing In
Connecticut. where some 800 miles Of
fishing streams have been opened to
anglers permanently through agita-
ton and efforts Of sportsmens clubs.
The first steps in the plan call for
obtaining leases Of narrow strips Of
land at either side Of brooks that are
most fished by the public. The under
standing Is that the brooks shall be
open to licensed fishermen at all
times and not restricted to a privi-
legged few. At the present time no
money is given the landowner.
A guarantee is made by the sports-
mems club leasing the land to pay
any damages up to 500 caused by
licensed fishermen. It provides also
for the protection Of fences and for
the placing Of signs at frequent in
tervals setting forth the owners
wishes in the use of gates, stiles, and
the parking Of automobiles.
