Nv J. WI Sanders, county agent To
that end hearings have been an
,,o,,nced in the localities concerned, at
which time property owners will be
;,vited to appear and give their views
on the project.
Such a district, it is stated, would
nrovile for the organization of land
Owners into a cooperate association
with a local governing body of five
s,,ncrvisors. These supervisors, under
the act would have, authority to call
mon various State and Federal gov
o+nmental agencies for technical as
s;stance and advice in all soil conser-
vation measures. But physical assist
once would come from the district, or
from the farmers themselves.
Roughly speaking, the soil conser-
cation district proposed would en-
brace all of the watershed of the Tar
river west of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad between Henderson and
Franklinton, extending as far as Will
ton and the Barea section west of Ok
ford.
Pu.lic hearings will be arranged
on the question of desirability and
necessity in the interest of the public
health, safety and welfare for the
creation of such a district. The hear
ing in Henderson will be at the court
house at p. M, November 10.
The full statement as to the con-
servation district proposal, as prepar-
ed by the State Soil Conservation
Committee, follows:
The last session of the legislature of
North Carolina passed an act which
is of much interest to the farmers of
the State, particularly those in the
Piedmont section who live in counties
like Person, Granville, Vance, and

FARM OFFICES co
into POST OFFICE
Mr.. Sanders and Mrs. Plum
mer Move Headquarters
From Law Building

Offices of agricultural workers of
the county, house for years on the
second floor of the Law Building ad-
joining the Vance county court house
on Young street, moved today to new
quarters assigned them on the second
floor of the modernized and enlarged
Henderson post office. Special rooms
had been provided for them there,
since the workers are affiliated with
Federal agricultural operations.
In the transfer were j. w. Sanders.
county farm agent and director of
crop control activities in the county
since this work was initiated by the
Roosevelt administration four years
ago; and Mrs. Hattie F. Plummer
home demonstration agent for their
county. With them, Of course, went
the entire personnel of the offices.
Quarters n6the second floor of the
post office that have been assigned
to them include individual offices for
Mr.. Sanders, Mrs. Plummer and M
Edmund Aycock, assistant farm agent
and an assembly room for committee
meetings.
The agricultural work has been car
ried on in the offices in the Law
Building for many years, or nearly
ever since extension work has been
done in the county. From the stand
point of Mr.. Sanders activities, the
work has greatly increased in the
past four years, since crop control
work was projected in all counties
through the county agents. The great
volume of that work necessitated the
of an assistant county
agent, who took over most of the &C
tual farm work from Mr.. Sanders,
whose time was virtually all taken
up in the crop control activities.

R|NG[NG' CIRCUS
IN RALEIGH OCT. 26
Greatest Aggregation of En-
tertainment Features
Ever Toured

The worlds mightiest amusement
enterprise on tour-the Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey combined cir
cus-with it's 1887 seven-ring -and-stage
program, star studded and literally in
terspersed with new thrillers from Eu-
rope and Asia, featuring among it's
array of new wonders the most gor-
geous Introductory spectacle in it's
brilliant history, India, is definitely
scheduled to exhibit in Raleigh, Tues
day, October 20
India is not just another circus
spectacle. It is not merely a glittering
parade to open the Big Show perfor-
mances. It is the result of a years
planning, a really staggering expen-
diture and much research on the part
of Sam w. Gumpertz, general mana
ger of The Greatest Show on Earth.
Costly fabrics were purchased in car
load lots. Color schemes blend in love-
ly perspectives. Every one of the two
thousand people and animals taking
part wears a small fortune on his or
it's back. All have towering head
dresses of exquisite beauty. One group
Of ITO horses, with girl riders, is like
nothing ever before offered, for the
horses, wearing medieval bejeweled
blankets of velvet, carry gorgeous
canopies over the girls heads. India
is a torrent of color and flashing
jewels, flowing over the hippodrome
track and the seven rings and stages.
It is the last word in pageantry.
Heading the scores of new foreign
features are The Great Alloys, aerial
thriller; the Magyars, Europe's nigh
test troupe of somersaulting stars;
the Famed William Heyer, Hollands
great horse trainer, and his wonder
horses; the Maysy-Brach troupe of
aerial unicycle marvels; the Naitto IA
naily of wire wizards; the Lu lolita
troupe of upside--down aerialists; the
Qualtieros, airplane aerialists; the
Cleveres, whirlwind acrobats; the Wen
Halls, novelty stars and many others
equally renowned in Europe, Asia and
South America. There are 800 perfor-
mers.
In aerial and equestrian, displays.
The Greatest Show on Earth has out
done itself this year, while the ground
acrobatic numbers are the largest and
finest ever presented in any land or
age.
The Ringing Bros. and Barnun q
Bailey combined circus will arrive on
four long. trains of 100 double-lenth
steel railroad cars, carrying 1900 peo-
pie. 1909 menagerie animals, herds
of elephants and 700 hores.

GIRL SLAYER IS STILL AT LARGE

New Haven, Conn, July i7-(UP) As lead after lead failed to prove productive, police today returned to their old theory that Joseph Dunno rod, 20, a quiet, mild-mannered youth suspected of murdering 16- year-old Estelle Fineberg, may have killed himself.
 The gangling, red-haired youth, regarded as a model" boy, dropped from sight a week ago Saturday an hour or two before the battered and bruised body of Miss Fineberg was found lying on the floor of his bedroom.
 A blood stained hammer lay on Q bed nearby.
 Some authorities believed the thir introvertive youth may have suf- fered an emotional collapse through strain of evading capture and killed himself.

Castel Gandolfo, Italy, July IT. - (UP) = Pope Plus turned to a group of Chicago pilgrims at a public audience today and paid a warm tribute as a defender of the church to Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago, who recently called Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany "an Aus trian paper hanger, and a darn poor one at that"
 The Pope's statement was taken generally to mean a complete en- dorsement of the cardinals out spoken criticism of Nazi Germany, which brought an enraged protest not only to the Vatican but to the American State Department
 There were intimations also that the statement, and the recent visit of Cardinal Pacelli, secretary of state of the Vatican, to France, meant that the Pope, despairing of efforts to better relations with the Nazis, intended to turn to the left front government of France. [

GENERAL FRANCO
 DEMANDS RIGHTS
Sends His Statement in Regard to Program of
 Great Britain

Salamanca, Spain, July 17--(Up) General Francisco Franco, ra- tionalist dictator, demanded un- qualified concession of belligerent status to the nationalists today in Q statement on Great Britain's new non-intervention proposals. "Ac- cording to the usages of interna- tional law the right to recognition as a belligerent depends upon acts of belligerency resulting when the contesting party occupies extensive territory, has an organized govern ment and a regular army and fol- lows the usages and practices of war;" said Franco. 'These condi- tions apply to nationalist Spain in greater degree than in any other civil war in which belligerency was granted.
 Belligerent Rights
 Consequently the concession of belligerent rights to nationalist Spain can not be conditional be- cause if we have the right to recog- milton, the problem of withdrawal of foreign volunteers should have no weight. Granting helligerent rights, by powers who have not yet rfecognized us as the sole legiti- mate government of Spain would considerably clarify the interna- Continued on Page 3

 maries Wednesday

Charges of "steamroller" tactics against the Republican town com mittee were heard today following announcement that the republican primaries will be held next We'd nesday. Lists of delegates must be in the hands of Town Chairman J. Warren Upson by p. m. Monday.
 Newspaper advertisements yester- day gave the first inkhng that the primaries would be held at the earliest date in many years. A num- Der of party members claim that this does not give them sufficient time to prepare states of delegates, and that the committees plan is to rush through its own slate.
 At the primaries, enrolled repub- lican voters will elect delegates to the city. town and school conven- tions. The conventions will not be held till a later date. with the town committee obviously hoping to be in complete control of the ticket pick ed at the conventions.

Caucus for New Leader on July 2l-President Keeps Out of Fight
BY LYLE 0. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 17 - (U.P0 - Showdown in the senate on judi ciary reorganization with the chances about even for and against passage was a possibility which to- day maintained hope that congress may yet avoid an all summer ses- sion.
 Congressional business is at a standstill. Close to a majority of senators and large house delega- ton are aboard the funeral train of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the democratic majority leader, which left Washington last night.
 New Leader Caucus
 Congress will not be wholly under way again until after the senate democratic caucus on July 2l to select a new leader. Robinson's death threw congress of its stride, gave legislators chance to reflect on the comforts of almost any place ohter than Washington.
 Perhaps more important, if less dramatic than the majority leaders passing, was Mondays speech by Chairman Hatton w. Summers of the house judiciary committee. His pledge to lock the court bill in his committee rom and to surrender the key only in response to a demand by membership of the house itself was real challenge to Roosevelt plans.
 Neither side in the court contro- versy is comfortably certain of what Is going to happen.
