er is about as welcome as a bear
at a picnic. And when you fl
nally go to find a place to lie
down and forget it all the chanc-
es are you will end UP sharing a
station bench with some Woe-be-
gone character who. SHORES alco-
hol at you until morning. .
If you have plenty of =, money,
if you have a signed telegram
from a hotel stating definitely
that a room is being held for you,
and if you have made reserva-
tons ahead for any shows or
night-clubs you want to attend,
it still might be possible to en-
joy a weekend in New York.
But for the average person, /
recommend buying a ticket to
New York, tearing it up, throw
ing $50 in a nearby gutter and
then spending a nice weekend at
home.
TIPS ticket
If, in spite Of this sound advice,
you still insist on coming to New
York, here are a few timely tips
to supplement the most important
one of making all reservations
ahead: 49,
/. Keep out of Times Square.
Get some friend who knows the
city to suggest some restaurants
and places of entertainment away
from And street. They will be
crowded too, but there is a little
more chance of finding air to
breathe.
2. Cross streets only on green
1ights-if YOU can find them. New
Workers don't pay any attention
to that rule. but they are being
moved down at a record rate
during the dim-out. You can't
see the taxis and they can't see
you.
3. If you go to any out-of-:the-
way sections of the city, ride in
a taxi. The number of hold-ups,
murders and attacks has become
alarming. And if you want to
see the folks back home again,
keep out of Harlem.
4. Above all, buy a return rail-
road ticket in advance and carry
it with you. You'll be a lot hap
pier about the whole thing if you
are prepared to get out of the
city at moments notice.

clerks look at you as if you were
crazy if you ask for accomoda-

New Lespedeza
For Wildlife

More than $50 farmers in North
Carolina are Seeding a new lesp-
edeza called "bicolor' this spring
for wildlife and soil conserva-
ton, says Verne E. Davidson of
the Soil Conservation Service in
a report to the Extension Service
at N. C. State College.
The lespedeza is a perennial
and grows from 6 to 10 feet high.
Tests in the Soil Conservation
service nursery at Chapel Hill and
observations in surrounding
states prove that bicolor seed is
an excellent food for bobwhites
and that rabbits eat the bark of
the plants readily.
A total of 2,438 pounds of seed
have been distributed in So coun-
ties in North Carolina for use as
woodland borders, hedges and on
rough and odd shaped areas that
growers are willing to leave for
wildlife cover and food, David
son points out.
Shrubby lespedeza can be es-
tablished by direct seed, live for
many years without reestablish-
ment, are not harmed by burn
ing, cutting, or rabbit damage in
winter, and are very attractive in
August and September with their
masses of purple flowers, David
son says. They answer a long
search for a perennial lespedeza

Draft Bob Doughton!

Twelve months from how will be pri-
mary election time in North Carolina and
already politicians and newspapers are
making suggestions as to who should run
for Governor, for the United States Senate
and for other offices.
A number of candidates to succeed Gov.
j. M Broughton have been proposed and
they include Hon. Gregg Cherry, Hon.
Clyde Hoey, DR. Ralph Mcdonald, Hon. D.
Hidden Ramsey and Judge Wilson Warlick.
All five are outstanding men and any
of them would probably make great Gov
errors. In fact, Mr.. Hoey has already
achieved that distinction and the other
four are eminently qualified for the high
office.
With all of the many problems that will
result from the war and postwar develop
ments, the critical, transitory period of
from 1914 to 1913 may be one of the most
trying times in the history of our state and
therefore we should elect as chief execu-
tive a man with wisdom and vast expert
ence, a man with courage and determina-
ton, a man who is an expert in matters OF
taxation, and man who combines con-
servatism with progressiveness.
Such man and more, too, is Congress-
man Robert L. Doughton. For the past
thirty-four years he has rendered disting-
uished service to his district, state and ma
ton For the past twelve years he has
been chairman of the powerful House
ways and means committee. He has held
this great, responsible position longer than
any other American and he has filled it
during two of the nations greatest crises,
the depression of the early thirties and the
second world war of the forties. He has
smoothly and effectively piloted some of
the major national legislation of the cen
tury, including the Social Security Act and
he has raised more money through taxa
ton than perhaps all of the other ways and
means chairmen combined. Before going
to Congress, he served a term in the state
senate and his brother, Gov. R. A. Dough-
ton. has an almost unparalleled record of
service in the state.
Congressman Doughton has wanted to
retire for the past four years. but the Pres
,dent and the voters of his district would
not allow him to do So Today, when most
n1en would have cracked long ago under
the terrific strain that he has undergone
day and night, he is as healthy, vigorous
and active as ever.
We doubt if Congressman Doughton
would aspire to be Governor of North Car
DINA, but with his vast knowledge of ma
tional and world conditions, with his
broad experience and his keen political

Education, The Best Solution To
Prevent War

The right kind of education, if
begun in time, will hold in abey-
ance, if not entirely prevent wars.
This does not imply that any
particular branch or combination
of branches Of education, how
ever efficient they may be, will
solve this problem unless the
whole philosophy of education is
based 1pon the application of the
Golden Rule"
So long as self ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and an inordinate desire for poll
teal, financial, or dictatorial SUI
pregnancy dominates the actions
of either individuals, or groups
of individuals, just so long will
some par~ of the world be en-
broiled in the holocaust of war.
1t would be impossible at pres
ent to start any sort of an educa-
tional campaign to stop the pres
ent war-it is too deep-rooted-
"the die has been cast. But had
all the educational forces in all
the nations of the earth begun in
time and emphasized the rela-
tons that should exist between
individuals and nations, and that
there are both rights and duties
to which every human being is
entitled; that every human be-
ing's rights give out where the
other mans set in; that might
does not make right, and that
peace on earth and good will
toward men" should be the dom
mating impulse throughout
christendom, peace instead of
war, no doubt, would exist
throughout the world today.
Since this method has not been
emphasized in the past, we should
profit by this experience, so that
nothing like this shall ever take
place again. All school officials
and other leaders of children
should make it a point to empha-
size this idea.
Let us imagine that in all our
universities, colleges, and all
lower educational institutions
that the students are under the
influence of the right kind of in
structors for at least two-thirdS
of the year, no one doubts but
that within a comparatively short
time, all differences between ma
tons would be settled by peace
full means.
True, men have won renown
on the battle field. Saul slew his
thousands and David his tens of
thousands. Washington went to
Yorktown and Grant from APP
pomattox to the presidents chair,
but by no means does this justi-
fly the sacrifice of human lives.
With more than 1000 years I'M
der the Gospel Dispensation there
is no reason why, with all our
educational agencies, we should
not usher in an era of peace in
which every man from those who
live in huts and novels shall not
have the same rights as he who
dwells in a mansion, and that
the "dove of peace" shall carry
his message to every living, HUI
man being until peace, prosperi-
ty, and happiness shall cover the
earth as the waters cover the
channels of the great deep.
