There was complete silence on the
progress of the investigation into the
brutal killing of the New York Uni
versity coed who wss found shot
through the body with her face null
lated in her Battery Park hotel room
early on the morning of July 16
The prisoner was held simply for
investigation.
A member of the C;evenger family
who said he did not wish his name
used said:
1--WE knew Professor Clevenger
would be detained. That move was
merely in line with routine investiga-
tions. We were not upset about it,
He is the seventh person to be de-

one of three now held. The others
were released at intervals after bling

Mark Wollner, 35-year-old German

PHONE FRANCHISE
WAITING COUNCIL
First Reading of Agreement
To Come Up at Meeting
For July

First reading of the new proposed
franchise the city is to grant to the
Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany is set for next Monday evening
at the regular monthly meeting of
the City Council.
The agreement was reached by the
Councils telephone committee at a
meeting several weeks ago with attor-
neys representing the telephone COM
pany, but was subject to approval by
the City Council at three readings,
one at each of three regular meetings.
There will probably be some discus
sion also by way of granting permits
sion to the State Highway and Public
Works Commission to improve the
western end of Young street a short
distance out the Townsville highway.
Plans have been sent here and the
city asked to give its cooperation.
It is possible there may also he
some discussion of various phases of
the underpass issue, at least to the ex-
tent of reporting to the Council as a
whole the sale of the $4,000 of bonds
the city is selling to finance payments

PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS
AUCTION SALES TO
START IN 10 DAYS
Carolina Tobacconists Turn
Eyes Toward Georgia
For August a

Another week will see tobacco men
from many parts of the North Caro-
lima flue-cured territory moving into
the Georgia belt for the start of the
auction selling season there, and bus
mess people throughout the territory
so largely dependent upon good to-
bacoo prices for a good fall season
are also turning their eyes to that
section as an indication of what may
be expected when the selling season
gets under way here several weeks
later.
Sales begin in Georgia on Tuesday
August 4. Reports are that the crop
there is roughly about five million
pounds greater than last year, when
approximately 100000 pounds was
harvested. The territory was not so
adversely affected by the bad wealth
err. since the season got under way
before the worst of the droughty con-
dtions were felt. The plants had Il
fairly good start before the rains
ceased Growers hurried to get their
plants in before some sort of control
system became effective in the wake
of the Supreme Court slaughtering of
the AAA. The quality is reported to
be better and the quantity some eight
to ten percent greater. The COM
bination should give Georgia a pros
porous season.
Crop deterioration in the South
Carolina border belt and the great
Eastern North Carolina territory will
far more than offset the slight gain
in Georgia and make the flue-cured
yield far below last year. That, to-
gether with increased demand, is re-
lied upon to hoist prices materially
above the 1885 levels Cigarette con-
sumption is increasing so rapidly that
domestic manufacturers are drawing
heavily on their own and independ
ent company reserves, and there is
likelihood of better foreign demand.
Georgia will point the way for the
season, it is believed, and it will be
only ten days before the trends are
known. Tobacco growers and bust
ness people in tobacco sections are
anxiously awaiting the news.

His master had heard those Distress

that swollen paw from the grip of the
trap. She heard him talk gently and
pick the Dog up in his arms and
carry him home. She watched them
all the way until they disappeared in
the house. Then she turned back to
the place where the trap still lay
where it had been thrown aside. For
long time she merely walked around

is a record that Bartholomew Cos
mold brought some grains Of wheat
with him and planted them on the
islands off the New England coast.
The colonists in Massachusetts and
Virginia decided to cultivate wheat
on a large scale, and Baltimore was
the first great wheat port of the New
World.
Washington was very proud Of the
wheat he raised and milled on his
own estate. The Mount Vernon
brand of flour became famous. The
northern part of New York was a
great wheat-growing section and sup
piled Washingtons army with the
needed flour.
It was not long before new States
were planting wheat fields. The
fields of the West were found to grow
the finest wheat Gradually the best
kinds of wheat for each location have
been perfected.
There are Winter wheats and
Spring wheats. The first is sowed in
the Fall and gets fine foothold be-
fore the cold weather sets in. The
latter is sowed in the Spring.
Names are given to wheat accord
ing to the color of the kernels. These
are red, white or amber, and they
are bearded or beardless, depending
upon whether or not the small pods
clustering around the stem are deco
rated with whisker spiklets.
Most of us are familiar with the
spiky finger of wheat pictured here.
The pod-enfolded kernels, anchored
close to the inner stem. make the
complete spike. The kernels are
each protected by an overcoat OF
cellulose, light coat Of bran, and
even shirt of gluten cells, all to
protect the tiny kernel or the life
germ Of new plant.
Once the wheat is planted in the
soil, it gets down to business, and
that Is the consuming of nitrogen in
the soil about it. In a short time
the sturdy little wheat plants out
grow any other plants that might be
usurpers. The green fields can be
seen for long distance Finally the
green turns to gold. Harvest days
arrive.
Over the vast sea Of waving grain
the giant reapers sweep as they cut
and gather the wheat in their arms.
The wheat is separated from the
chaff by threshing machines, and
finally the wheat Is on its way to
the elevators and from there to the
market and mill.
While we think OF wheat as flour
for bread, We forget that there are
by-products, too. The straw is used
for fodder for cattle, for bedding
them, and also for blowing into the
fields to enrich them. 1t is also used
for the manufacture of paper, hats
and doormats.
Wheat has meant the staff Of life
for man since ancient times. There
must have been day when it was
first cultivated, for there is as yet no
record that it ever grew wild. Even
in the tombs of Egypt there have
been records showing the cultivation
of wheat and some grains of it placed
reverently there
