Starting three short years ago in a
modest way in small quarters on Hor
ner street, just off Garrett, the bust
ness grew rapidly and in the space of
a year larger space was required. The
large brick building a few doors to
the west and on the opposite side of
the street was leased and the COM
pany moved in. Alterations and inn
provementS were made to accOmmO-
date growing establishment and the
faith that was thus manifested has
been more than justified.

neer Declares

College Station, Raleigh, Sept, g.
The house designed for city jewellers
should stay in town; it has no bust
ness on the farm, said D. S. Weaver,
agricultural engineer at State College.
Yet many farm houses are built ac-
cording to plans that are suited to
city jewellers but not to the require
ments of a farm family, he added.
Another mistake often made, he
said, is that of planning the farm
home from the outside in rather than
from the inside out.
In designing a farm house, he Oh
served, the first step is to consider
the needs of the family, and plan to
meet those needs as far as possible

REBEL" CLERK

"The Committee Against False
Economy" an organization of
seven "rebel" lodges Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Government
Employees, was organized here last
night.
Representatives of the lodges,
which have a combined member
ship of 1900, met at the Wash
ington Hotel despite cease and
desist" warning from President
Charles I. Stengle and formed the
committee to combat govern
mental economy measures.
BY their action the seven lodges
face custer from the A. F. G. E.
for refusal to heed the warning
from the president. Some of the
leaders of the movement admitted
they hope this will be the start of
a new national federation under
C. I. o. auspices.
The committee tentatively set
June 4 as the date of a mass
meeting to protest false econ
omy."

ACCUSE MAN

Charged with having swindled
several Government stenographers
with a well-worn sob story, Alex
ander Wilder, 80, colored, yester-
day involved Police Court in a
tangle of legal technicalities and
Judge Walter j. Casey was forced
to dismiss four of the six charges
against him.
The other two charges we're
continued at the request of the
Government.
A long string Of Government
employees, brought to the stand
by the prosecution, told almost
identical stories. Wilder, accord
ing to their testimony, told them
a heart-wringing tale about his
three children who were waiting
at the bus station, ready to go
to their mothers funeral in North
Carolina" Wilder climaxed this
story, they said, by asking them
to lend him a dollar or two for the
fare.
Judge Casey dismissed these
charges at the motion of Wilder's
attorney, Denny Hughes, on the
grounds that the offenses did not
constitute larceny, the specific
charge. One other larceny charge
was continued due to the com
plainant's illness.
The sixth charge, carrying a
deadly weapon, was continued at
ter Attorney Hughes had ques-
toned the legality of the search
which took place at the time OF
Wilder's arrest on May "a. Wilder
was arrested in the corridors OF
the Department Of Justice Build
ing. A search revealed that he
was carrying a small knife, accord
ing to the charges.
