Yes. 1 said beg. But did leave

New Appointment At Camp
Davis Became Effec-

P. S. Ober, 1st. Lieut.. ONO,
has been appointed Sales Officer
at Camp Davis effective Septem-
er /, relieving 1st Lieut.. Barney
R. Smith, who has been assigned
to troop duty, it was announced
yesterday by Lieut.. Col. William
R. Schaefer, Camp Davis Quarter
master.
1t. Ober becomes the first Quar-
termaster Corps Officer to hold
this position, having been pre-
ceeded by 1t. Smith, of the Coast
Artillery Corps, and the now Lieut..
Wilfred E. Lessard, Jr., also OF

KIWANIS HEARS
TALK ON SOILS
Expert Explains Need For
Vital Chemical Ele-
ments For Area

Soils of this section and tht
necessary factors for growing
crops on them were discussed by
DR.. L. G. Willis, director of the
soils research laboratory here,
yesterdays regular Kiwanis clur
luncheon.
Illustrating his talk with Lantern
slides, DR.. Willis declared that L
the vital chemical elements can be
added to Eastern North Carollns
soils-and if the crops sell at all
''it will bring millions OF dollars
more to this area"
Farming is not as ideal as yor
might think after reading the ads
ard stories of success, he told the
Kiwanians. And after looking al
these pictures of the things it takes
TO successfully grow anything, I'm
sure you will agree that farmers
of this section deserve praise, not
criticism DR.. Willis was intro
duced by Thomas H. Wright.
Bill Bryant reported that a club
committee has arranged to be pres
ent when two bus loads of selectees
leave the city Saturday morning,
and large group of members
volunteered to be on hand. Z.
David Jones presided at the meet
ing.
The organization adopted
resolution drawn up by I. W. Solo
mon and Mr.. Jones in memory OF
the late Judge Edwin H. Cranmer
1t was as follows:
"On August 23rd, 1912, the gen.
lie spirit of cur friend, Judge Ed
win H. Cranmer, peacefully slip
ped from its earthly moorings.
Judge Cranmer was warm
hearted, magnamimous, and one OF
the most unselfish of men. HIS
lofty position was attained by no
easy going gait nor merry jaunt-
ing. He climbed the heights by
virtue of determined will, unre-
lenting effort and ability.
HE was man of strong ccnvlc-
tlons, recognizing no compromise
with trickery or dishonesty. He
was perhaps classified as stern
man and yet he possessed kindly
disposition and those in need or
distress never appealed to him in
vain. He was sympathetic with
the work of our Boys Brigade and
for years contributed literally to
it's support.
Therefore, be it resolved; that
we the members of the Kiwanis
club of Wilmington, N. c., in meet
ing assembled this second day of
September, 1912, recognize the
fact that his passing now bereaves
many organizations, circles and in
dividuals; removing gracious in
fluence which made for a SUMMER
view of life and emphasizing the
age old truth that man achieves
his richest success when he earns
the affection of his fellow men.
