BaggingCo.
OF Workers
Mill Idle T cd a y
While Schedules Be-
ing Worked Out,
Starting Tuesday

A new wage schedule will be put
into effect at the Carolina and India
plants of the Carolina Bagging Com
pany here tomorrow, but the exact
percentage of the raise and the aggre-
gate amount involved could not be
stated pending completion of the sche-
dulles, e. F. Parham. general manager
of the company, said today Meantime
the mills were idle today until the
schedules were drawn up.
Rumor about over the city was
that the the some 500 workers, vir-
tually all colored, went on a strike
today for higher pay. Asked as to this,
Mr. Parham said there had been no
trouble, that the company had plan
ned an increase in wages and that
the schedule could not be worked up
without some time being required,
and that the plant was not operating
today pending completion of the new
arrangement.
The company is approaching it's
'off-season," and during that time
sometimes works on short-week sche-
dulles, although up to now full time of
five days a week has been the rule.
Employees were told, it was stated
to return tomorrow and that work
will be resumed Tuesday at both
plants.

Mosquitoes: A Health And
Nuisance Problem

great danger of permanent injury to
your health from the malaria.
Don't fool yourself that you may
not have mosquitoes because you do
not see them flying around in broad
day light. AS l said before these little
assians do their dirty work under
cover of the dark. We cannot depend
on drainage as yet to protect us, we
cannot rely on burning rags or mos
quito lotions to drive them away. So
should you have malaria, quinine
taken by direction and under guild
ance of a competent physician is a
specific cure.
The health department has done
much and is yet trying to do much
toward the destruction of anopheles
breeding places. The scarcity of p.
w. A. labor has about ended these
projects in our county.

REPLACING OAlORROW
WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY

You know that there is an increase in the
cost of living-the price of nearly every
thing is up 5, 10 or even 35 per cent
Everything you possess today has an in
creased value whether you are a home
owner, farmer, storekeeper, or manufac-
turer. Everything you own has larger
insurance value.
But what you have today may be Destroy
ed, damaged, or stolen tomorrow. How
far will your present insurance go toward
buying requirements? Now is the time to
adjust the amounts of your insurance
TO PREVENT A FINANCIAL LOSS.
You work hard to earn living, to acquire
property which gives you and your fam
lily comforts and pleasures. You strive

for the future. Why not devote at least
small portion of time and energy to
protecting your property?
Remember fire insurance is only a. basic
contract. Your property may be damag-
ed due to explosion, windstorm, runaway
autos and trucks. falling aircraft, etc. You
lose the use Of your home for several
months and the payment of rent is pro-
tectible financial loss. A business loses
profits, and may be unable to pay other
expenses which can be protected.
Protect what you have with Strong =
Safe - Dependable policies. Consult us
freely without charge or obligation. We
write every form of insurance, Except
Life.

TEAMS
PERFORM TODAY

District high school grid teams
get off with a bang this after
noon-or should we be a bit more
technical and say "thud."
Central clashes with Washing
ton and Lee High School Of Ball
ston at the Central Stadium start
ing at $3.50 o'clock, and Roosevelt
tangles with Bulls Prep in the
Rough Riders Stadium, at the
same time.
There have been several skirm.
ishes along the high school grid
front during the last two weeks,
but today is the day, in which the
school sport is officially uShered
in.
OF particular interest IS the
game between Central and Wash
Lee. Opposing mentors, Hardy
Pearce, of Central, and Johnny
Baker, of Wash-Lee, are former
college chumS, hometowners and
brothers-in-law, and with this set
up of domestic relations anything
can happen in a school tilt.
To date Central has played ana
lost its two engagements by heart
breaking 6-to-0 scores. The V1r-
ginianS have won their lone game
of the season last week when they
humbled the National Training
School.
The game between Roosevelt
and Bulls marks the opening en-
gagement between these inStitu.
lions. Both have fond hopes Of
a successful campaign ahead, and
a victory today for either should
tend to boost its stock in the
future engagements on the slate.
Roosevelt is a favorite to win the
argument. Z

BOSOX DEFEATS
SATISFY GR|FFS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Bucky Harris scans the Stats
tics of the American League pen
nant race with a certain degree
of satisfaction. He isn't particu-
larly gratified with the standing
of the Griffs for the season Of
1887, but it if never did anything
else in the world, he added to the
woes and sorrows of the Boston
Red Sox this year. The Red Sox
are in fifth place today, two full
games ehind the Cleveland
Indians.
That position eliminates the
Red Sox from any participation
in the world series cut. If you
look at the statistical report you
will see why Harris grins with a
sly, malevolent twinkle in his eye.
For the Griffs beat the Sox this
season IA times and just about
ruined their first division hopes
and chances.
This is all very involved. Tom
Yawkey ard Harris are close
friends and mutual boosters. Har-
ris goes hunting with Yawkey,
and therefore might be expected to
have an interest in his pals sue
cess.
But there's another angle to the
situation. Harris has no liking,
let alone love, for Edward Trow-
bridge Collins. It was Collins who
convinced Yawkey that the best
interests Of Boston baseball de-
manded the release of Harris. So
Harris now laughs and asks:
''Whadda va mean, best interests?"
TERRELL STAY
So we have revenge stronger
actuating force than the love of a
friend. Harris rejoiceS at the dis
comforture of Collins, but weep
for the disappointment brought
to Yawkey. Sort of laughing with
a catch in his throat.

in two and scored one. Myer led

to scream as they rode for the
fences: I'm not through here yet. +"
