And to get full control of the port

aim.
IEiE JAPANESE GAME"
Japan does not intend to attempt
an occupation of all China.
Japanese troops can beat the Chi
nese wherever they meet them, I'M
questionably.
But they could not possibly police
so large and thickly populated coun-
try. A single Japanese regiment, if
it could keep open it's line of supplies
probably could cut it's way clear
across China. But the Chinese would
close in behind it, as water closes in
behind moving ship.
The Japanese game is to control the
ports-to regulate import and export
taxation; to run China economically.
In the extreme north, beyond the
Great Wall, where population is thin,
the mikado may wish to COLOMBO
bit. But not much; the climate isn't
favorable to the Japanese.
Essentially the ports are what they
are after.
SHANGHAI MOST IMPORTANT
Shanghai is the most important of
them.
The Japanese could possess all the
remainder and still fail to monopo-
lize Chinese trade with the port of
Shanghai open to all and sundry.

important Rules
In Planting Wood
Species Outlined

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 30
The most important rule to follow in
planting woody species for wildlife
development, according to Ross o.
Stevens, regional biologist of the Soil
Conservation Service, and the State
College Extension Service, is that the
species used be varied, not q pure
stand but a mixture.
He gives five reasons for mixed
paintings:
Flrst-Solid stands of plants favor
the rapid spread of insects and dis
eases. Insects find it easy to travel
from one plant to another of the same
kind, while the spread of insects and
diseases in mixed paintings are solw-
er, making control easier.
Second = Solid paintings of one
species will deplete the soil of the
same fundamental plant food requir-
ed of that particular species.
Third-Maximum interspension of
species insures that all land area will
be beneficially utilized, which means
complete erosion control.
Fourth-F'or wiIdlife conservation
and development, variety is absolute
~ CoSClCld1' WHAT one species OF
plant may not offer, another will.
Consequently, the greater the variety
of plant species, the better will be
the habitat. Effords should be made
to approach as nearly as possible the
orderly confusion of nature
observation-disclosures birds are gen
orally discouraged by pure stands, but
encouraged by mixed stands Encour-
agement of such birds leades to great
er control of injurious insects.
In planting mixtures of species.
said Stevens, careful account must be
taken of the height to which a given
species will grow Planting of tall and
law shrubs and trees interspersed will
eventually result in the smaller
species being crowded out by the lar
ger growing ones, a situation which
indicates unwise planning and en-
tails a useless waste of time, labor
and materials.

OTHERS VIEWS
MIR. WRIGHT AGAIN


In this column last Thursday was
an article written from Lumberton,
by our fellow townsman, Mr.. S. r.
ChavaSSe. I congratulate him for the
plain language he used in denounc-
ing the gambling outfits and dirty
shows that are much too prevalent
in our country today. I was struck
with his straightforward language as
he denounced the looseness and some
of the evils of our time. Such Ian
guage is rare in the press and in
public speaking. It is too much the
custom of those who write or talk
out loud to use honeyed words. They
are very bold, and use strong langu-
fluential and the powerful, but when
it does not they use words of double
meaning or no meaning at all.
Mealy-mouthedness is one of the
curses of our time Of course it is
fathered by fear. Men are afraid to
call their souls their own in these
degenerated times. They have been
browbeat for so long by the money
power and it's political servants they
have lost hope and with it courage.
Even our preachers, who are suppos-
ed to be our watchmen on the wall,
sermonize just sweet nothings while
they know this nation cannot endure
half starved and half fed.
1 thank God there were 214, 900
thousand men and women in North
Carolina the 4th of last July who
were not afraid, for they went to the
polls and done their part to have a
good government in this State for
the next four years. And I believe
this same 214,O00 will go to the polls
November 3rd., and vote for Hon. Gil
liam Grissom for Governor, thereby
stopping Mr.. Hoey's plutocratic State
Machine from making stronger our
chains of slavery during the next four
years.

3. In order to raise some money in
1851 the college worked out a plan to
sell 400 certificates of scholarship at
500 each. Each of the certificates was
good for a term of twenty years. The
plan provided the immediate funds
needed, but within a few years the
income from tuition dropped to moth
ing. Purchasers were selling or rent
ing their certificates to others. In
1854-55 only one student was pay
student. Then the war came along
and wiped out the original fund. The
trustees in 1865 suspended the use of
the certificates, and an appeal was
made to the owners to forego their
use. Finally in 1873 the college bought
up as many as were available.

1888 there were 2,1O3. 1t is believed
