Predict Better
Spring Business
Forecast Is Made AS Result OF
News Service Poll Recent
ly Conducted.

A moderate upturn in business
this spring was forecast by an
overwhelming majority of noted
economists in a national poll COM
pleted last week by the Assoclat-
ed Press.
A similar poll published six
months ago accurately predicted
the December business upturn
high, and significantly showed in
decision over the length of the
recent recovery.
The economists, chosen to re-
fleet various shades of political
and economic views, and to sup
ply geographical, agricultural, fl
nancial and government cross
sections, again Shove marked un-
certainty-considered collectively
as to the duration of the new
ly predicted more modest recov-
cry movement.
Six months ago most of those
who responded attributed the
then forthcoming upward trend
largely to government spending,
but today as group they showed
divergence of opinion on that
subject.
Many thought increasing gov
eminent debt is lettering private
investment; while others said
they feared marked curtailment
of government spending would
prove sharply defationary.
Few anticipated 1889 increase

Water Installed
In 1885 Homes

Nearly 1000 farm homes in
North Carolina have water sys-
TENS today whereas they were in
the 'tbucket and outdoor pump"
brigade year ago. To be exact,
1885 home water systems were
installed in Is counties during
1888, reports Miss Ruth Current,
state home agent of the Exten-
sion Service.
These 1885 sytems ranged from
the simplest, a pitcher pump
bringing running water to the
back porch or kitchen and cost
ing only SIS, to the more elab-
crate systems of piping hot and
cold water to the home, yard,
barn and orchard at cost of sew
eral hundred dollars.
Miss Current says the Pamlico
county extension agents, Sophie
Lee Clark and A. T. Jackson,
used this phase of agricultural
engineering as a joint program
for men and women in 1888, hold
ing one leaders school at which
a simple water system was dem
onstrated. AS a result IA water
systems were installed in that
one county and one bathroom
was equipped.
Miss Clark, the Pamlico home
agent, tells of the following ex-
perience in connection with the
farm and home tour conducted
last fall: Zone of the water sys-
TENS was. installed as dem
onstration and was completed on
ly a few days before the tour.

day before the tour. The hus-
band met me at the door, his
face beaming. Miss Clark, it
works but what is worrying me
is that my wife may use all the
water and there won't be none
when the folks get here tomor-
row. I assure him the water
would last, and several months

RULES ACINST
PARK DISTRICT

That the city has the legal right
to construct and operate wells on
the old flume line right of way
from the city reservoir TO Spana-
way was the opinion Of Corpora
ton counsel Howard Carothers.
given to Utilities Commissioner
Ira S. DAWSON Monday.
Carothers wrote the opinion at
request of the commissioner after
Fred S. Henricksen, a member of
the park board. argued before the
council last Wednesday that the
flume line right of way belonged
to the Metropolitan park district
and could not be used for wells
without permission.
Carothers said the city acquired
the property in 1898. and on Feb.
l. 1905. the council set aside the
flume line as parkway. placing
it under the supervision of the
park commissioners.
The ordinance provided, however,
according to Carothers, that the
right to use and improve the right
of way as a parkway should in no
manner conflict with the use there
of as a right of way for the city's
flume line.

Third Term Talk for F. r.
GroevS Stronger in Nation
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - Talk OF a
third term for President Roosevelt
doomed today as the administra-
ton faced the hard facts of legis-
lative reverses and the list of other
available 100 per cent new dealers
shrinked to nothing.
Rebuffs from the capitol were
more likely to persuade Roosevelt
to run again than to surrender to
the conservative wing of the party,
which has combined with Republi-
cans in congress to vote the new
deal down.
The house hit the administration
where it hurt last week when it
passed relief bill to curtail
presidential authority and absn-
don some pet new deal undertake
ings.
Roosevelt will have to scknow-
ledge personal defeat today when
the house passes the 1889 revenue
act to eliminate so-called business
irritant' taxes. The bill has the
blessing of the presidents official
fiscal advisers. But it sacrifices
the theory of penalty taxes on UNI
distributed corporation surplus
funds and. therefore. is offensive
to the president and the inmost
circle OF the new deal.
These factors-and the partial
reverse suffered by the admins
tration in last Novembers general
election-beckon Mr.. Roosevelt TO

he will run again next year. A

state farmers experienced a sharp

A total sale of 81 ,940,000 BUSH

MOUSE POISON
FATAL TO CAT

A new poison issued by the fed
-eral government is causing alarm
among lovers Of household cats.
For the poison is proving as de-
structive to cats as it is to mice,
according to local veterinarians.
The poison is so deadly that if a
cat as much as bites into a mouse
that has been poisoned. it will die
in the same manner. There is no
known antidoe for the poison.
Several cats have died in Ia
coma lately through having been
exposed TO the poison. The latest
victim was a cat owned by A. j.
Holmes, of 2315 So. Tacoma ave.
The cat had been in the family
four years and was good mouser.

new poison. We lost our cat,
