walked all night, looking neither to right nor left. So he didn't know Eric had been gone.
 Quickly Refreshed
 When the sun was up, the giant stopped at lake and washed his face. He splashed around so that several fishing boats had to put into harbor. The giant looked so refreshed after washing his face that Eric was astonished. They set out again at a fast pace. Every where they went stood silent peo- pie. They looked unhappy, But they were bewitched and couldn't leave the roadsides.
 Eric saw one man look half long, ingly over his shoulder at a herd of cattle. But then the man just shrugged his shoulder and turned to watch the giant.
 So it went day and night until Erie had counted up twenty foul days and nights. The giant seemed as fresh as when the started. Eric was worried. He wondered what he would do at the end of thirty one days and nights if the giant didn't weary.
 TOMORROW: Eric defeats
 the first giant.

CHAPTER TEN
The Magic LCcket Is Put To Use

The Magic LCcket Is Put To Use
 Now I must tell you what hap pened the first time Eric opened his magic locket to ask for help.
 He snapped it open and whis- pered, Give me help, little friend. l want to take prisoner the giant who thinks he is the sun
 Right under his eyes, in the locket, he suddenly saw a tiny, tiny horse with a pair of wings From the locket came a voice which said, Take this horse and set him on the ground He will become big enough for you to ride. Then go to the giant who thinks he is the sun and tell him you have come from a Queen who thinks she is the sun.
 Tell the giant that the Queen can walk 30 days and nights with cut tiring. Tell him she has so many faithful subjects that all through the 30 days and nights there is never vacant place along the roads. Hundreds of peo- pie gather to admire her as she passes by"
 So Eric did as he was told He set the tiny horse on the ground. First it was no bigger than a lady-bug Then it was q beautiful big horse with large gray wings.
 Eric said good bye to Santa who had been watching. Good luck, my boy said Santa T shall stay here by the road. I'll make some toys for the children in the town. Come back and tell me the news"
 Addresses the Giant
 Then Eric took off his cap and bowed to the tower where he knew the good, gray Queen had imprisoned herself. And then he mounted his fine new horse which flew through the air to the moun- tain top where the giant who thought he was the sun was sit ting.
 Sire, I have come with news, J shouted Eric at the ugly giant who blinked in surprise. Eric told the giant what the locket had said. The giant looked very interested
 'Humph' said the giant. That is nothing. I can do just as well, and one day better. Follow me and watch. Then you can ride back and tell the Queen who thinks she is the sun that I am better
 "Very well, sir said Eric po- litely. The giant heaved himself to his feet, and set out to walk. He walked all day and half the night. Eric followed on his winged horse. But when the midnight bells tolled, the horse turned off into the woods.
 There Eric found an old man waiting for him with a feast spread on a white table cloth. Eric ate and then slept. At dawn the horse woke him by nudging him with his soft nose. The old man and the feast were gone
 Eric mounted the horse again and they flew off through the air so fast that before the sun had streaked the sky with pink, Eric was riding beind the giant who thought he was the sun. The giant plodded ahead stupidly. He had

Is Restoring Old Port

Restoration of the quaint old sea-
port of Bath, N. c., is giving to
modern America the haunts Of
Blackboard the pirate, church at
tended by early American colonists
and homes built more than two cen
turtles ago.
Plans for restoring the historical
village are being pushed by the
Episcopal leaders of the East Caro-
lima diocese. Their interest springs
from the Bath Episcopal church,
built in 1884, and recognized as the
oldest church building in the state
today.
Called 1.-THE Cathedral" because
it is ruled by the bishop, the build
ing still is in excellent condition
with original handmade doors and
hand-cut wooden pews. It is to be
restored and converted into a ma
tional shrine.
A museum will be opened near
the church and the old Marsh house
near by, built in 1714, will be con-
verted into rectory.
OF great interest are the ruins of
an old house near Bath creek where
Edward Teach" Blackboard the pi-
rate"-is said to have lived during
his days of power. Ruins of his
ships may be seen there at low
tide.
Bath has grown little since it was
settled ky white men about 1890.

A step toward bigger yields.
conditions since the World War,
farmers reaped yields that were
only 10 under the record year of
1888, when more acres were har-
vested.
Many major factors behind this
accomplishment are revealed IN
personal interviews with $4,000
farmers in 35 States. Better all
around farming practices stand out.
Every farmer interviewed in The
National Fertilizer Association sur
vey made an estimate based on
yields obtained with and without
fertilizer.
Virginia farmers stated they got
an increase of SO per cent on corn;
70 per cent on wheat; 230 per cent
on tobacco; 274 per cent on pota-
toes; LAG per cent on cotton; and
800 per cent on spinach.

Government Is Planning
Housing Census in 1910

A national housing census, the
first of it's kind to be attempted in
the history of the nation, will be
taken in 1910 in conjunction with the
individual count, following action by
congress in the final period of the
last session.
According to E. l.. Ostendorf,
president of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, the cen
sus is ''bound to be of preaching
Importance as fact foundation for
private enterprise, both as to new
construction and as to rebuilding of
existing construction. Most impor-
tant, the data will be made avail
able for each community.
Because of the practical impor-
lance of having local data made
available as early as possible" Os-
tendorf said, 1.-The association will
ask that the time of completing the
census be moved forward"
Reporting on the bill, the senate
committee on banking and currency
stated: Investment in housing
represents one-fourth of our nation
al wealth. In the form of either
loans, commitments or guarantees,
the federal government has an in
terest of approximately $4,000, 000,-
600 in housing. Yet this is the one
branch of our national economy
where reliable statistical informa-
ton is sorely lacking"
The count of dwelling structures
and dwelling units is restricted in

significant factual statistics.

curate analysis and Interpretation
of the information recorded in
my report.
As to the neutrality-suspicious.:
Figures don't lie, as the old say
ing goes, and it cannot be denied
that, taking all accounts pay
able and due on salaries and
bills. the city has apparently op-
Grated at a loss during the seven
months period. But-and here
is where the misinterpretation
comes in-a consideration of the
receipts and expenditures, which
follows in detailed form, showing
approximately $4,000 excess OF
expenditures over receipts, must
include a realization that the
present council has found it neces-
Sary to eXpend more than that
amount in the liquidation of in
debtedness contracted by coun-
ellis before its administration.
In other words, why didn't The
Herald take into consideration at
least this one item in its analysis?
The report shows that $13, 780.0l
of the floating debt retirement
fund has been liquidated by the
present council, which amount
was left as debt by the previous
council to be paid. And, it was
paid.
Other items, listed in the bal
ance sheet, bring the payments
of the present council on old
indebtedneSSes up to and in ex-
cess of the present debit balance
of the council.
