Squire Roosevelt Looks Around
Philadelphia Record)

The Presidents fireside chat Tuesday night was
 sort of national stock taking Its manner was that of the country squire who has returned from final look around the homestead before the first snowfall and is discussing his plans for the coming with the neighbors.
 MT Roosevelt called special session of Congress to convene November 15. Recently he talked to the country about his program. He is chiefly con- cerned with the control of agricultural supuses legis lation provide better distribution of income in industry and the threat of war abroad. Presumably he will ask Congress to act on all three. The philosophy of government that animates all that MT Roosevelt does clearer than ever be- ween the lines of this rambling and unpretentious speech He would combine private property and prl- vae profit with the use of government as an active agency for social control and economic planning He would not have deceived by any temporary prosperity obtained at the expense of depicting our resources. He wants to balance our human budget and the budget of national resources, as well as the books in the Treasury To this end he would pro vide crop control in agriculture the raising of the lowest wages in industry the establishment oT re- eional planning agencies And he would have "engage actively in the search for peace" lest-in an inerconnected world-war abroad disrupt reconstruc tion at home.
 In the Chicago speech MT Roosevelt seemed to have launched the nation on a foreign policy that departs the principles laid down in the neutrality act and returns to the principles that animated the second Wilson Administration. That MT Roosevelt aware of the difficulties that beset this course and 
 when he referred to his experience in foreign affairs from 1913 to 1921.
 T learned much of what to do" MT. Roosevelt said T also learned much of what not to do.
 The remark cryptic but encouraging
 
 Some of MT. Roosevet's statements will bring new cries of rage from the opposition; at least one of them lays down challenge to section of his own party.
 The Presidents observation that those who do not like democracy would like to keep Congress at home his reference to those who got all they wanted from the Government in 1883 and now want aid to others cut off his declaration that property rights need from financial olgarches and industrial monopolies his comparison between crop control and the shutdown of factories when production outstrips consumption will not render him any more beloved to Tories.
 Nor will Southern Democrats particularly relish his declaration that sections which pay lower wages than others pull down the standards in the rest of the country. MT Roosevelt loves battle He'll have 1ne at the coming session.

At the same time the club went on

1, the national highway, between Hen
derson and Norlina, and the secretary

TOBACCO OPENING
IS APPROVED HERE
Date for Local Market Is
Few Days Earlier Than
In 1896 Season
MORE BUYERS WANTED
Third Set of Sales Requested by Boost
er Club, With Appeals Made
to Leading Manufac-
turing Companies

So far as has been learned the
dates for the opening of the tobacco
selling season in the Middle Belt and
others, as fixed by the Tobacco Asso-
citation of the United States, are sat
isfactory here. The schedule of open
ings was adopted by the association
at it's convention at Old FONT Com
fort, Va, which began Thursday and
ended today.
Efforts to drop the Middle Belt
back to the date of the Old Belt were
unsuccessful, as was also the request
of Middle Belt warehousemen for the
advancement of their opening date to
the same time as that for the Eastern
North Carolina Belt.
The Georgia season will open on
Thursday July 20, three weeks hence,
to be followed by the South Carolina
border belt markets Tuesday, August
10; Eastern North Carolina, Thurs
day, August 26, Middle Belt, Thurs
day, September 16; Old Belt, Thurs
day, September 80, and Virginia dark
fired Monday, November 20.
There appeared to be general ap-
prevail of the opening on Thursday
instead of on Tuesday, as heretofore.
Georgia and Eastern North Carolina
and the Old Belt will also open on
Thursdays, but South Carolina will
start on Tuesday. The Thursday open
ing will avoid Sunday congestion and
feverish activity that has characterize
ed the seasons heretofore in prepare
tons for the opening.
1t was noted that the Middle Belt
was advanced a few days in it's open
ing, the difference being from Tues
day back to Thursday or five days.
Meantime, the Henderson $500
Club, booster organization of tobac-
CO, cotton and business men, is press
ing for a third set of buyers for the
Henderson market during the coming
season. 1t is pointed out that much
congestion and delay would be avoid
ed by the additional facilities that
would thus be afforded. Letters have
been written to the leading manufac-
turing companies represented on the
local market asking that the addi-
tional set of buyers be granted here.
Meantime, preparations are going
forward for the meeting of the club
in it's annual session on Friday even
ing of next week, July 9. At that time
a report will be made of the activities
Of the past year, and officers will be
elected to serve during the coming
season. The present club executive
committee already has started its
work, and has ordered a number of
Illuminated road signs to be placed at
advantageous positions in the Hender-
son territory boosting the market and
inviting growers to sell here.
The meeting will be presided over
by J. w. Jenkins, president of the
club, and all contributors to the fund
for promoting the market will be in
vited to attend

LIQUOR STORES TO
START IN RALEIGH
Will Be Opened AS Soon AS
Locations Found; Itch

In the Sir Walter Hotel
~ 4. mask ERVHL


Raleigh, July 3.-LiquOr stores can
be opened here just as soon as the
new Wake County Alcoholic Bever-
ages Control Board, finally appoint
ed Friday, can secure the buildings
needed, install the equipment and get
them stocked with liquor, it was in
Dictated today. Henry E. Litchford IS
chairman of the board. The other two
members of the new board are Jesse
j. Henderson, Of Wendell, and Chaun-
cey M. Jones, of Raleigh. The chair
manship of the board is full-time
job, with a salary of $4,000 year.
While it might be possible to get
one store open within a week or ten
DAYS. if the board has no difficulty
in finding a building in a location
regarded as suitable, the general be-
lief is that it will probably be July
IS before a store is opened, although
an effort may be made to open one
store before that date.
The new board has not yet held
meeting and is not expected to call
one before Tuesday, due to the fact
that Monday is holiday. Chairman
I1itchford was not even in the city
Yesterday when he was elected.
There is already considerable spe-
culation as to how many stores will
be opened and where they will be To-
Gated, although the county board, to-
gether with the State board, must de-
termine the number and locations. Ii
is generally agreed that for the time
being. the only stores that will be
opened soon will be in Raleigh, since
almost every other town in the county
voted dry.
Indications are that at least two
liquor stores will be opened here, one
in the downtown section, but not on
Fayetteville street, and one in or near
the Negro sections There is some SEN
timent for a third store to be located
in the Hayes-Barton residential Sec
ton. but the trouble there is going
to be to find a store location that is
not too near a school or church.
There will not be any store in the
Cameron Park section near State Col
lege, the State board has already an
nounced.

BIRD CORNER

city a Bird Sanctuary" The Au-
dubon Society and City Council erect
ed sanctuary signs on each highway
leading into the city.
A law was passed making it un-
lawful to shoot in the city limits and
in anyway kill or destroy birds. The
city officials help in every way to
protect the birds. If any one reports
shooting going on, the police will i'm
mediately inquire into it and stop the
shooting. This has helped a great deal
especially in the Negro districts.
Hundreds of dogwood trees, naples
and blackberry trees have been plant
ed in the city streets.
DR.. T. Nj. Hall has a private san
ctuary and he has many birds. He has
planted native trees and shrubs that
attract birds and he has provided
plenty of water and food. He has by
the use of dummies trained the birds
to perch on a person. A few days ago
he said that IS birds perched on him
in a short time. The birds will even
perch on strangers.
We have been fortunate in hav-
ing the daily and weekly papers give
us puDllclIy anu IL HdS HeiPou " pro-
tect the birds.
Since the city has been made
sanctuary the bird life has greatly in
creased.
If we can assist you in any other
way, I am sure the club will be de-
lighted. So glad to tell you a few
things that are being done here.
Sincerely yours,

The second field trip led by Harry
Anderson was a thrilling one to the
nine club members who made it. Sew
eral members identified for the first
time a summer tanager, crested-fly-
catcher, kindbird and score or more
of others; and it was a rare treat for
the more experienced as well When
an orchard oriole and a yellow-throat-
ed vireo perched together on the low
err limb of a small tree! The black
and deep chestnut of the OriOle and
the rich olive breen and bright yellow
of the vireo are truly satisfying to
those who love color. Color found in
bird plumage seems very, very pure.
Why does one almost lose his breath
when a blue bird springs into the air?
1t is because we gaze on a living bit
of color, and that color fathomless
blue?
This trip was two and a half miles
along the stream back of the County
Home because the red-winged black
birds are there among the alders.
Mrs Charlotte Hilton Green, editor
of the News and Observer column
Out-of-Doors in Carolina and author
of Birds of the South in talk made
in Henderson in May referred to the
way in which bird-life is protected
in Milledgeville, Georgia. The offic-
ers of the Henderson Bird Club asked
the Mayor of Milledgeville for some
information about this civic venture.
The mayor not only wrote regarding it
but asked another citizen of Milledge-
vile to write more fully. Mrs. Green
has asked to reprint these letters in
Out-of-Doors in Carolina, but the Hen
derson Bird Club felt that Bird Corn
err should carry them first.
