Henderson county is largely agricultural commun

small acreage and that of the larger southern
money crops known here has caused the farmers to
turn a number of crops.
The area is rapidly becoming of a trucking sec

suited for the growing of practically all truck crops
The soil in this county for the part is loamy and

Poultry raising has been largely developed in the

probably no ideal orchard land to be found in the
south The attitude of the orchard men toward mprov-

The county is also ideally suited for the growing of
small grain crops and practically all farmers are now
producing grain and hay to be fed to livestock.
Extensive use of egumes has been noted in the past
several years. and these crops making fine hay for

Young Evangelist
Describes TraUeI
In 20 Countries
America Great Place,
Says Alabar1an in
Lecture Here.

a 24-year-old Mobile, Ala, preacher,
who recently completed 10000 mile
evangelistic tour of 20 countries,
formed one deep impression from his
travels-that America is q great place
in which to live.
The young minister, Rev. Lester
Sumrall, who said he started his long
journey with $12 and deep faith
in God" is giving series Of lectures
on his experiences at Calvary Gospel
Church, 1911 H street, speaking each
evening of this week and next week
at o'clock.
Rev. Mr.. Sumrall, a member of the
Assemblies Of God, Protestant de-
nomination, and Rev. Howard Carter,
young London, England, preacher,
began their tour a little more than
two years ago.
Using practically every kind of con-
veyance-from airplanes to pack
mules-they visited Java, Australia,
Japan, China, Russia, Manchuria,
Korea and many other countries, con-
ducting evangelistic meetings at nearly
every stop.
He said one reason why he was
glad to get back to this country was
that everywhere he travelled abroad
every one seems to be preparing
for war"
Rev. Sumrall plans to resume his
travels in January. and he expects to
visit Central and South America,
Africa, India, Ceylon, Palestine and
Egypt.

NEUTRALITY LAW
ACTION IS limited
Extension OF Measure to
Curb Trade With Bel
Iigerents Seen.
~ the Associated Press.


A hint that the administration will
seek extension of the neutrality law
to place broad restrictions on trade
with belligerents came today from
Chairman McReynolds Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
McReynolds also expressed a per-
sonal view that the law should be ex-
panded to cover civil wars, such as
the conflict in Spain, which threaten
to involve other countries.
He said he would introduce a meas
ure to give the President discretion
ary authority to place embargoes on
shipments of war materials to COM
batant nations in excess Of normal
peacetime commercial transactions"
The existing law, which expires May
I, provides only for mandatory en-
bargoes on arms, ammunition and i'm
plements Of war.
Provision Eliminated.
The administration sought authority
from the last Congress for the Presi-
dent to clap embargoes on war ma
terials. McReynolds' committee ap-
proved it, but it was knocked out of
the bill on the contention that such
q provision would not be neutral dur
ing the Italian Ethiopian War.
There were indications that the pro-
vision might encounter more difficult
ties in the next Congress, for Chair
man Pittman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee has said he IA
vored continuing the neutrality law
virtually in its present form.
neutrality treaty with an article
for restriction of trade with belligerent
countries was proposed Sunday by the
United States delegation to the Inter-
American Peace Conference at Buenos
Aires.
See Potential Threat.
Supporters Of permissive embargoes
on war materials argue that shipments
of goods which might be converted to
war purposes involve potential
threat of dragging this country into
combat.
IF we are ever going to get these
embargoes," McReynolds said, nov Is
the time to do it, when no Gnterna-
tionaD war Is going on"
He said Congress probably would
consider also the question of barring
armed merchant vessels Of combatant
nations from American waters. The
law now covers submarines only.

out of place in a ladies dress sec

standing saleslady, he soon found
just the thing, a golden brown floral

Then he thought of slippers to match

He left the store simply bursting
with enthusiasm. Just as he turned

into Dorothy. "Why Dot, I'm so glad
