sporting figure, with first-degree MUIR
der in connection with the mysterious
death of Miss Elizabeth r. Lynch, "a,

east, friend of Kappel, was said
to have informed police Miss Lynch
told Kappel to get cut Of the house.

police during lengthy investigation,
and later was held by a coroner's
jury.

by the Vance Board of County Com
missioners Monday at their monthly

list-takers in the nine townships of
the county. His recommendations
were then acted upon by the board,

or two meetings with the commits
sioners before starting their work. so
as to be thoroughly familiar with the
procedure.

ing American preparations to fight?
done it wholesale.
NOT A NEW IDEA (
Their reasoning is that America
must be ready to defend its neu-
trality."
It is not a new idea that a coun-
try must be "loaded for hear" to in
timidate bears into leaving it at peace
Military men generally subscribe to
this doctrine. Military-minded civil
ians do, too. And of course it is sub
scribed to by producers and statesmen
of military supplies.
To me it seems that both logics are
wrong.
If a country is weak, it is imposed
upon. If it is strong, it's inclination
is to prove it.
ANY SOLUTION:
The solution? 1 don't believe there
is any.
Militarism naturally breeds strife.
1t is rampant in countries which
know what they want to grab. Would
be pacifiStic countries are he possess
sors of territory which the grabbers
want to grab, but which the prospec-
tive grabbees are determined not to
surrender, even if they have to fight
to defend it.
A grab isn't necessarily a direct
grab.
Italy, for example, wants Ethiopia,
which is not, directly, taking any
thing away from John Bull. Never
theless, it is depriving the latter of
the control of the headquarters of the
Nile, which are essential, in turn, to
Johnne's control of all the fertility
of the Nile basin.
If Japan seeks to gobble north
China-why! north China is not Am
erican soil, but Japanese control of
north China excludes American trade
from that area.

Hopes to Have Figures

William r. Rand, supervisor OF the

that an effort is being made to fin

virons within the next few days. He
asked that all business firms cooper
ate by furnishing the necessary infor-
nation as quickly Gs possible.
eve realize that some firms re-
quire more time than others in as
sembling the information" Mr.. Rand
said "but it is imperative that the
reports be sent to Philadelphia with
out delay so that the statistics can be
corpiled and issued by July"
"The timeliness of such statistics
he added. greatly enhances their
value. More than 100000 reports
must he handled by the Bureau, and
delay in Henderson delays the Stats
tics for the whole State"
"The inquiries have been made as
simple as possible, he continued to
make the task of supplying the infor-
nation easv. and have been shaped
to secure facts that will be of mini
MIN value to business"
Mr.. Rand declared that the census
now BEING taken is a continuation of
the regular business census work of
the Bureau of Census, and is for bus
mess USE not for governmental pur-
poses It's scope is the result Of re-
quests from business organizations,
and it has the full support of all
branches of business.
He reiterated previous assurances
that all enumerators and other per-
sons connected with the census are
under oath not to disclose or discuss
any information submitted for census
purposes and that under the census
law no access to individual reports is
permitted not even to Their govern
mental. State or local agencies, and
no information will be disclosed which
would in any way reveal the facts or
firnres given in the returns.
"The Census Bureau expects" he
said, ito nublish the results for this
State nv July 1 unless there is delay
in obtaining the relatively few re-
ports still out. Since the first few
states RELEASED receive nationwide
publicity. and comparisons with the
n~ovious census will show such a
healthy increase in Henderson, we
want nothing to delay the canvass
