While President Wilson's budget ideas have not been outlined to con- gress it is not expected that the bud- get system advocated by President Tail and prepared by the economy commission will be urged as the basis of the Democratic appropriation system. This scheme has many bit-

ter opponents. Including the leaders of tlic groat committees which now handle appropriations and It Is ex- pected that efforts 111 congress will be directed along different lines.

The economy commission appoint- ed by house Democrats in their cau- cuses March 5, will not meet until after the house has disposed of ta-- iff bills In the extra session. Effort will then be made to devise a plan for handling the estimates and appro priatlom that come before the reg- ular session In Dcvomber.

A sharp division exists between ( bairman sitzgernld. of the appropria- tions committee, who favor* giving nil appropriation bills to that com- mittee with authority to act as a gen- eral budget committee, and Repre- sentative Shirley of Kentucky who has proposed a special budget commit- tee of the house to comprise the chairman and leading member! of

B number of important committees Tho congressional advocates of va- rious budget plans Intend to confer fully with President Wilson before at- tempting to agree on any system of general control over expenditures.

In his letter to Senator Ttllman President Wilson wrote as follows:

"Ever since I was a youngster I have been deeply Interested in our method of financial legislation. One of the objects I shall have most in mind when I get to Washington will be conferences with my legislative colleagues there with a view to bring Ing some budget system Into exis- tence. This business of building up the expenses of the nation piece bv piece will certainly lead us to error and perhaps embarrassment.'"

.in-iiis Everett A Bketrl

tin August i'lul lsi:" in Martin cou-i- iv near RobersonvUle, there was born it- Simon and BUsabth Everett a son, Justus, the subject of this sketch. In the home of his parents he re- celved Wholesome lessons which made for the man years of honesty and up- rightness of oharacter. To the pre- cepts of his parents, were added the splendid training under Stephen Out- terbrldge, whose Influence has touch- ( i more li.es lo Martin county than an) man who has lived In the last fifty years.

Going from home In early manhood in beguuto make for himself, his first position was as salesman for John I'. Biggs in Willlamston where he remained two years, laying the foun- dation of i hut success which crown- ed bis life. At this time he married Miss Margaret Elisabeth I'urvls and i ide a home in Hamilton, engaging In business with his brother, the late W. II. Everett He continued In this business until 1890 when he travel- 1. ; lor the Arm of W. I*. Allen and Co., of Norfolk. In the year of 1893, he purchased the farm originally he- longing to Thomas Jones near Pal* myra where he lived until his death. All through those years when farm- ing had not begun to bring such splendid results as now, he brought out of the soil by Industry and safe management stored wealth and liv- ed in his home with ease and comfort. So at his death his estate consisting i I farm property, securities and bank stork was worth between JtiO.flOO and $78, Perhaps no farm In this sec- tion was conducted more lu accord- ance with present day operations than his.

He had raised a large family, and had given his children collegiate training—no man being n more ear- >■• st advocate of educational and mor- al progress. He was always frank and sincere, devoted to his family, his ohurch and his friends. In h>s transactions ho gave every man a square deal. The motto of his lif? being that he was as good as any man socially, but no better than any other honest one. For years he had been a member of the Primitive Bap- tist church, Joining at Spring Green and later moving his membership tj Hamilton. The church numbered BO* truer follower, and In Its councils he showed wisdom and strong relig- ious zeal for the Master's work.

His democracy was unalterable, and his best endeavors were given to advance Its principles. He had served as county commissioner and as Justice of the peace and In both positions had done his duty well.

He was too young to enter the Civ- il War. so remained at homo assist- ing In the work on the farm, but si; brothers entered the service, one, John Everett, shedding his life blood on the field of battle. In his breast were

tmplanted truest feelings for the southland In Its struggle for right.

In the business world, he held a high place, being president of the Ih nk of Oak City and one of the di- rectors of the Hank of RobersonvUle. To these Institutions he added mucn by bis interest and calm Judgment. He loved Martin county, and la ev- ery movement for its advancement, he enlisted heartily with brain ani parse,

After the death of his wife several years ago, ho married Mrs. Kllzaheth Williams, member of a prominent Wake county farmlly, who survives him together with nine children ny his first marriage. These are, Jus- tus, Margaret, Denjamln, Alphonso. Robert. Blanche, Ethel and Marie Everett, and ono grandchild, Justus K.erett.

On Thursday evening. March 6th, 1913, after a short Illness and In the presence of his wife and children, Justus Everett, the devoted husband. f..thrr and friends, went from among the dwellers on *. -rth to a home In that lan.l where the Father welcomes

Tavern Where Goethe Placed One of Scenes In "Faust" Has

Been Reconstructed.

The latest concrete evidence of lit- erary devotion in Germany is the thorough reconstruction of tho "Tav- ern oi Auerbach," where Goethe pipe cd one of the most vivid scenes of "Faust." It Is melancholy to reflect that nothing more remains of thu olci building, since after a complete de- molition the architects have construct- ed a wholly modern building on the site, but cure has been takon to pre- serve Intact the cellar, which has been for fully a century an object of pilgrimage for Germans, who are a' once proud of their literature and fond of recherche drlr.king.

Painters of an "advanced" school have been commissioned lo adorn the walls of the various dining rooms wlih scenes taken from Goethe's grc: I drama, while to complete the new at- tractions It Is announced that the Btalrcase leading down to the cellar will be furnished with two bronze statues, the subject of which Is un known. The evolution of the "Tavern of Auerbach" promises to be tho same as thai of other like sacred places, it will probiibly bring In au excellent in- come to the restaurateur.

Ozone as a Prcttcrvative. An important lniproveincnt In the

technique of cold storage has recently been Jutroluced in lierii.ai.yg viz., the use of ozone as a supplement to the ordinary process of refrigeration. In the cold storage rooms attached to slaughter houses the temperature of the air is liable to be raised to a seri- ous extent when the doors are left open for any reason; for instance, when meat !B being put in or taken out The mlcro-organltsiuB of putre- faction immediately become active un- der such ciministances, and the keeping quality of the meat is dimin- ished. Now it Is well known that ozone Is a powerful germicide. If the air of the eold-storag" rooms la ozon- ized. Its temperature may bo FftiMd without Injury to the contents. This has been proved by numerous experi- ments, and ozonizing apparatus has now been installed In the abutoirs at Cologne. Potsdam, Urandenburg. Berlin. Krankfurt-onthe-Maln. Due- ■eldorf, Freiburg (Silesia), Alxla- t'hap*'llQ and Erfurt; In a cold ator- itge depot at Hamburg, and In >arl- o!is dairies, poultry and game stores and ti..;. establishments.

Advice About Reading. Be sure, then, to read ro, mean

books; shun the spawn of the prees In the gossip «if the hour. l>o not read what you shall learn, without asking, In the street and the train. Dr. John- son said he "always went Into stately shops." and good travelers stop at thr best hotels; for though they cost more 'hey do not con much more, and there Is the good company and the best information. In like manner the scholar knows that the famous books contain, first and last, the best thoughts and facts. . . . The three practical rules, then, which I have to offer are (1) Never read any book that Is not a year old. (2) Never read any but fumed hooks. (3) Nev- er read any but what you like.—Emer- son.

To Put Out Oil Fires. Two lhi .iish Inventors huve found

a way to put out oil fir. s by applying carbonic acid that Is foaming vio- lently. The foam Is produced by a mixture of two liquids, and It la said that when It Is thrown on burning BUIJ stances, ru. ,i as oils, benzine and tar. It spreads rapidly over thu surface and puts out the flames by cutting off tie air. Many tanks thnt contain oil or other highly Inflammable liquids are now permanently fitted with perforat- ed pipes, through which the foam lug mixture can be applied directly to tho surface of the burning mate rial. Hitherto fires in oil tanks have been allowed to burn themselveB out or the contents huve been drawn out from below and wasted. According to Chambers' Journal many private and government Institutions have adopted the new system-

Farmer's Suggestion. A Florida farmer who was raising

strawberries for the market sent a shipment to New York and the com mission merchant wrote back that the berries were too ripe, consequently i-oor prices and small return checks, so next time the grower picked them earlier and the results were about the same, as the New York man said they were too green for the market; so the next shipment the man pulled up the plants by the roots, packed them In boxes and suid, "You can pick them when Just right for your particular market"

WASHINGTON, March 25—Presi- dent Wilson let it be known today that he has not yet put his stamp of approval on tho tariff bill left with him by Representative Oscar Under- wood, the Democratic majority leader, after a three hours" conferenco last Light.

The president Indicated to his vis- itors that he had only begun to study tho measure but that before the Dem- ocratic caueus met to decide whether they should revise (he tnrlff In a sin- gle bill or by separate schedules, he would make known his own conclu- sions, as well as his opinion of the

bill. The income tax problem and its in-

tricate details are also being carefully considered by the president. He dis- cussed these in a general way wltn Secretary McAdoo of the ticasury de- partment. Col. E. M. House, ot Austin, Texas, and Secretary Tumul- ty, who were at the white house to- night.

Mr. Wilson also Is giving some at- tention to the possibility of getting a currency measure before the country during the extra session of Congress, and It was said that the conference tonight touched this subject to some extent.

Diplomatic Appointments. Little Information was forthcoming

today concerning diplomatic appoint- ments. It became known Unit Dean Heney Ilurchard Fine, of Princeton University, would not accept the am- bassadorship to Germany, which had been offered him by President Wil- eon. Prof. Fine is now nt Munich on leave of absence and while he U one of the President's mo3t Intimate friends and has been strongly urged to accept, the great expense involved Is said to have been the reason for the declination.
