N. T.. LEADS NATION
IN SWEET POTATOES

RALEIGH, Dec. 81. -P)- North
Carolina produced 100000 BUSH
els of sweet potatoes this year to
lead the Nation: the State Depart
ment of Agrfc allure said today.
Clyde Willis, Agriculture Depart
ment statistician, said the State
took over the lead in yam produc-
ton from Georgia, which last year
produced 9,735, 00D bushels to North
Cardinals 7,566,000 but which pro-
duces only 8,272,000 bushels this
year.
North Carolina during the past
10 years has averaged 1852, coo
bushels of sweet potatoes produc-
ed each year, while Georgia has
produced 8,044,0o0 yearly.
Willis said the States advance in
national production rank was due
primarily to Yields equal to the
all-time record of lis bushels har-
vested per acre in 1912, and to re-
duced acreages in other important
sweet potato producing states The
1914 yield, he. said, was 10 bushels
higher than the 81 bushels harvest
ed per acre last year and was Is
higher than the 10-year average.
Tar Heel farmers planted $4,000
acres this year, compared with
| the same number last year and a

Mayor Ronald Lane yesterday
called a special session of the City
Council for next Wednesday to
hear a report from City Engineer
]. A. Loughlin on his inspection
of the sidewalk paving program,
which the municipal body sus-
pended for, the time being on De-
cember IS because of some I'M
satisfactory workmanship and cold
weather.
Invited at that time to speak on
the project from the contractor S
standpoint of view was E. B.
Towles, superintendent for F. D.
Cline. of Raleigh.
1t was Towles who initiated the
discussion at the Council meeting,
at which it was developed that the
Council believed the contractor to
have been unduly criticised.
Council members appeared to be
making an effort to learn the basis
of criticism from the citizenry
which vas one of the principal rea-
sons attributed to discontinued Of
paving by the Cline concern.
In connection with the suspen-
sion, Councilman Robert R. Romeo
asserted I'D like to know whose
fault it is, whether ours or the
contractors. Is it fault of work.
manship or our formula? If our
formula was faulty then it doesn'1
appear that the contractor is al
fault
Avowing his inability to make
more than a partial report on the
work at yesterdays meeting.
City Engineer Loughlin replied
'1'll make a detailed report later, .
Councilman Edgar L. Vow inject
ed the advice that the cause 0,
a lot of it might be that the City
failed to get some of the property
owners signed up, SO that patch

bad. Probably Towles' men did no
do the kind of job he wanted t.
do. The contractor has a good rep

want to hurt it."

 The announcement gave no fig ures either on the cutback or the existing fleet of underwater craft On the basis of subs known to be building or commissioned, however the undersea fleet is apparently in excess of two hundred.
 The Navy said that these classes of supplies now needed are air craft carriers, cruisers, new types of assault ships, tankers, lombard ment ammunition, rockets for both planes and ships, forty millimeteI guns, machinery for advance bases, and high octane gas.

THE HARD WAY
 NOW SHOWING
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

A powerful story of woman's misguided devotion for her young sister is portrayed in Warner Bros. moving drama, 'The Hard Way which opened at the 20th Century Theatre yesterday.
 The story deals with Helen Cher nen, a woman with great innate potentialities who is forced by un- fortunate circumstances to remain in grimy, sordid town where everything is touched with the gray dust of the coal mines.
 Disguised and embittered with her miserable lot, she is determined that her lovely young sister shall fare better.
 Her opportunity arises when a second rate vaudeville team, Run kel and Collins (played by Jack Carson and Dennis Morgam ap- pears at the local vaudeville house. She takes advantage of Albert Runkel's admiration for Katherine to foment a marriage between the two, and when the troupe leaves on a tour Helen and Katherine are aboard.
