The Publication Is in Great Demand. The Extension Service has just received a communication from the Kansas State Agricul tural College requesting 25 co pies of Extension Circular No. 90 on "Farm Advertising" for use in the class work of their department of Industrial Jour nalism and Printing. The chief of the department, Mr N- A. Crawford, writes, "I have just had the opportunity to look ov er the excellent bulletin on 'Farm Advertising.' It is by far the best thing of its kind so far published, and you have performed real service to the farmer in getting it out. I wondering if it will be possible for you to let us have about 25 copies of it for use in our class work in this department." This bulletin which was pre pared for the Agricultural Ex tension Service, has for its pur pose a plea for the adoption of better business methods on the farm. Many farmers do not realize that their investments in lands, implements and build ings are often times much gre ater than that of the merchant, storekeeper, or shop man in the city; yet, these latter adver tise their business, put out stan dard products ,and so turn over their capital some two or three 11 times a year, while the average North Carolina farmer turns over his capital oft'pe m' three years, at the same time gett ing a lower percentage of pro fit on the investment The use of printed station* ery, bulletin boards, roadside signs, and paid advertisements in the local newspapers and agricultural papers will do very much to bring greater returns to the farmer. By thus attract ing attention to his place, it be comes a farm of much individ uality, not merely a collection of ramshackle buildings and naturally another result of the rundown acres. Farm pride is ! naturally another result of the employing of these modern methods, and this, in itself, will do much to make the owner give hia place more attention. This circular is available, free of charge, to all citizens of North Carolina so long as the present supply lasts, and it may be had by dropping a card to the Agricultural Extension Service at West Raleigty, N- C.

I SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN FOR BARACA AND PHI LA THE A MEMBERS j The North Carolina Baraca Philathea Union Will Begin A Comprehensive Campaign 1 to enroll 5,000 New Mem bers by Next Annual Meet ing. (Special to Herald) 5,000 new members sought in North Carolina for Baraca.j and Philathea Classes. A sys tematic campaign is being now made to boost and increase the Baraca and Philathea member ship to help Sunday School classes and churches through out the State and to this end the State has been divided in to districts with Baraca and Philathea District Secretaries | who will have under them coun ty secretaries to assist in more perfectly organizing existing classes and to form new ones. The goal for the State this' year is 5,000 new npembers, 500 hundred new classes, a se cret service committee in eve- ? ry class, Herald subscriptions i in every class and $10,000 for carrying on the work in the State. The goal for ^he ten I districts is 500 members, 50 new classes and $1000 for the State work, a secret service committee and Herald subscrip tions in every class. The attainment of class effi ciency entitles the class or the county to a star in the service flag of the North Carolina Ba-1 raca and Philathea Union, and the first county going over the topfgets the gold star This is the biggest and most active and far reaching cam paign yet put on by^the Bara cas and Philatheas and leaders confidently expect that the 5, 000 mark in new membership will be reached- Prospects are bright and assurances come from all quarters of increased interest in this work. County and district meetings are be ing arranged all over North Carolina with the hope of cre ating greater enthusiasm and spreamng the Baraca-Philat hea plan for organized Bible classes for young men and the young women. This plan is the original plan of organized Bible classed and has had a most marvelous growth since the first class was organized just 20 years ago. Thousands have been won to Christ and the church by the work of the organized class and wherever these classes are found the en tire Sunday School shows di rect results of their influence, and work.

ASSISTANT HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER MISSING About 2SO Pupils Enrolled, M In High School Depart ment # The Ahoskie Graded School opened for the current sessions on Monday morning, Septem ber 15th, and at the end of this week the enrollment had reac hed nearly two hundred and ftf ty, with about 66 of these enrol led in the high school depart ment. Simple exercises marked the opening exercises. Invocation was given by Rev. Fleming, fol lowed by a short talk by Dr. C. G Powell, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. His talk was along the line of general school work, outlining the pres ent^ needs of the local school, and the policy that would be pursued during the present ses sions. Many patrons and fri ends of the school were present for the opening exercises. Miss Myrtha Fleming, of Ra leigh, again has charge of the jchool as principal. Owing to the late resignation of Miss Torrence ,of last year's facultx no assistant high school teadKL er was present to take up tWI work for this year in that de partment. In the absence of a regular teacher for the high school, Mrs. JN Roy/Parker, of this city, took chaifce of this department, and is supplying in thia position f?r tb^eurrent week, at the close <ff l^ich the trustees hope to <h*ve%?ecured a teacher,.. ,Those teaching in the gramif<W and primary gra- / des are: Btifcp Mina Holla man, of this city, Sallie Barnes of Lewiston, Genie Brett, of Un ipn, Mary Thomas ,of Cofleld, all of last year's faculty. Miss Mildred Fleming, of Raleigh, i sister of the principal, has ;harge of the fourth grade. Mrs. G W. Baker, of Ahos rie, is in charge of the music lepartment, and thd enroll ?nent in that department is very nuch larger than last year. In fact, it is overcrowded The trustees of the loeal ichool have been very unfor fortunate this year in not be ing able to secure a full corps of teachers, and the present situation is not what they had hoped for, as, in reality, two vacancies exist. Besides being without the services of a reg ular assistant high school tea cher .the additional primary grade teacher has not yet been secured, and the music depart ment ia overctVjwdfcd. The pr esent situation not only de mands the assistant high school teacher, but another, and pro bably two more instructors to take care of the work and give the maximum results.
