Triangle Debate and Track Meet ai
Chapel Hill.
The final debate in the triangular
contest took place at Chapel Hill last
Friday night. Thursday afternoon
and night and much of Friday was
taken up in the preliminary elimina
tion contest. The question was
Government Railway Ownership.
Graham sent down two teams —
affirmative and negative. Graham's
negative team lost out in the first
contest, but the affirmative team had
staying qualities and was not
turned down until Friday akernoon.
In fact the news came that Graham's
affirmative was posted for the final
contest with Mt. Olive Friday night
and lots of Graham people were get
ting >-eftdy to go down and -see the
Aycock cup return to Graham. A
little later the name of Waynesville
appeared in the place of Graham.
Graham representatives went down
to see about it. Two explanations
have been heard —one that some
overzealous newspaper man put up
Graham; another that one of the
judges changed his vote after the
posting. Whether any of these
rumors is true is not known positive
ly. The confusion, however caused
considerable disapointment, but for
tl)e future success of the Debating
Union, it is hoped the matter will
be cleared up satisfactorily to all
c mcerned.

- OF WHAUBL.*""
Capt. A. E. Folger Tell of 18 Yean
as Whaler.
We met in town yesterday Capt.
A. E. Folger, which iahis real name,
who is as well known by the name
of "Whale Oil Gas" as by the real
one. .
I That he is an exceedingly inter
esting character, you only have to
listen to him a half minute to be
convinced.
When but a lad but 11 years old he
ran away from his home in New Bed
ford, Maes., and took to the Bea.
Whither he went WBB natural 1 —
he followed heredity, for his father
and grand father before him were sea
fearing men—whalers. He followed
in their footsteps and whaled for 18
years. Daring these years he visit
ed nearly all countries, but hie oc
cupation confined him chiefly to the
the Pacific ocean. In the time of
his activity in his perilous business
he was Captain of a boat for 12
>ears. When he felt he was nut
sufficiently active for the life he was
leading he quit—quit whaling.
For more than a score of years he
has passed the time in telling peo
ple up and down the earth—schools
and colleges and assemblagea some
thing of what he learned and inci
dentally all about whales. He does
not pretend to be a learned man so
far as looks are concerned. He in a
learned man, however, when it comes
to talking about whales and other
things, learned in the school of ex
perience.
Now he is past 67 years of age
with no gray hairs, but a slightly
gray moustache. He speaks nine
different languages—an accomplish
ment at which the expert school
teacher-linguist turns green with
envy.
If we permitted ourself to quote
from the numerous papers to which
he has given interviews about his
life this article could be spun out to
two or more columns in length.
As stated, his topic is whales.
He tells rapidly and most interest
ingly of the home, species and habits
the leviathans of the deep and the
manner of taking them. He is at
present connected with in amuse
ment company in which lie is the
chief star. This week he is in Bur
lington. He expects to be at the
Graded School here this morning
and tell the children something
about whales. Among o'.her things,
he tells of being on the island on
which Robinson Crusoe dwelt at one
time.
It would be hard to find a more
supremely interesting talker than
Capt. Folger. *
Sunday School Unian Next Sunday at
New Providence.
The fifth Sunda.v Sunday
School Union will be held on
next Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock at New Providence. AH
Sunday schools of the community
are codially invited to attend. The
The chief business of the Union is
the getting together of Sunday
School workers for the exchange of
ideas and to promulgate plans to
secure attendance, especially of
those not identified with any Sun
day School work. These matters
are discussed by ail who desire to
have a word to say.
The special feature of the occa
sion this time will be the address
9l Dr. W. C. Smith of Greensboro,
N. C„ the man who has thel arrest
'Bible Class in the State and is D 'an
of the State Normal and one of the
notable speakers of the State. One
seldom has the opportunity to hear
a man like Dr. Smith. It is Baid
that he is the onl.v man in Greens
boro that the people will turn out
to hear, and the Union is fortunate
to secure him for this occasion.
Last Friday was a glorious day
for the assembling of the schools
of thei county to hold their County
Commencement. The people and
school children came in buggies,
wagons, floats and automobiles.
Everything was in holiday attire.
Conveyances were bedecked in
bright colors. Some of the floats
were notable for what they repre
sented. There was the armed cruis
er with the guns on deck th?
Snow Storm, May Day and others.
Then there was the display of han
diwork—a veritable fair on a fine
'Scale. The children marching was
an inspiring sight. The crowd was
large and as orderly as a Sund iy
service.
It is impossible to mention every
thing—all of it deserves mention.
For a fuller description the read
er is referred to Prof. Robertson s
educational column.
Canned Goods.
This week, making the third week
in succession, we are again printing
the "Canning Club Prize Lfst"
This is done in order to familiarize
as many people as possible with
what the canning people are expected,
to do and to let them know of the
awards in Btore f>r them The prizes
are the least of the business, but
they are an incentive to action. The
real reward comes in providing
plenty of canned g xids for family
use and some to spare, and in learn
ing a helpful and useful art in taking
care of field and garden products.
Whether you compete for a prize or
apt, do not fail to can as much as
possible to supply your own table
next winter.
American aviators, it appears,
would be in little danger, t iat is,
as far as the enemy is concerned.

I'he Agricultural Extension
Service in Alamance has always
stood for Safe Farming. The fol
lowing live F'a insare safety:
FARMERS NEED
ERTILE SOIL,
OOD AND
EED CROPS
IRST.
After tbitt, crops are largely
profit.
Now the crisis is here I This
great nation must aronse herself
for a mighty struggle for liberty.
People without food and armies
without ratious are conquered be
fore they can begin to fight. Our
greatest safety now lies in food
production aud in saving the
waste products.
If the South is to be strong she
must have food. If this couutry
is to be strong she must be well
fed and have an abundance to
sustain those friendly people who
are even now fighting our battles
for liberty and democracy.
Transportation may be disturb
ed. Your own defense requires
you to produce and conserve your
food supply. Don't fail now I It
is a national problem of defense
as important as men and guns,
ships and cannon.
Farmers, in your unions, clubs
and other organizations, resolve
to use the best methods now.
When the nation faces a crisis we
must haveihe best farming in its
history. Labors is short, hence
the best tools and all labor-saving
devices must be used to make it
possible for every farm laborer to
cover as much ground as possible
and do the most efficient work.
Farm women and girls«have im
portant work to do in the garden,
the orchard, in raising poultry,
aud especially in canning, pre
serving and conserving our food
supply.
Your county agents and home
demonstration agent, your State
agricultural department will glad
ly advise and assist you in this
new burden of extra work.
Farmers and business men, save
the breeding stock. Dou't sell
cows, heifers, innres, sows, gilts,
ewes or hens. Keep them for
breeding. If the breeding stock
is sold, where will you get the
m»ans to sujiply the inept of this
country?
Club Member* Wanted.
The county is looking to the boys
and the firls enrolled in the various
agricultural clubs to do their pari
in this great crisis.
Our club boys are too young to
enlist in the ranks of those who
go to the front, but they can enlist
the great army that is growing the
food and feed crops for those who
have to fight.
We need one hundred more boys
to enlist in the cow, pig,' chicken
and potato clubs.
Heretofore the boy was required
to confine his efforts to one acr?
but# this year he is encouraged to
grow more than one acre. Tho.v?
wishing to join will please send in
their name and address to E. C.

Military Spirit in Evidence at State
College of A. and E.
Raleigh, N.C.
Cor. of The O leaner.
West Raleigh, April 24.-The stu
dents of NorthCaroiina State Col
lege of Agriculture and Engineer
ing have been applying themselves
to the military training given By
the college with th? utmost serious
ness since a sta_te of war was de
clared by Congress.
At the voluntary solicitation of
the student body the drill periods
were increased from three to five
per week. Once a week a whole
afternoon is devoted to campaign
maneuvers and each of these is
made a 1 ittle more strenuous than
the previous in order to harden the
cadets Into service condition. Stress
is now placed upon the execution
pf movements under conditions of
actual hostility. Some of the time
is devoted to sham battle, and at
other times the regiment is taken
on a hike, using every precaution
to prevent surprise by the enemy,
which usually consists of a com
pany or so sent out in advance.
As further evidence of the earn
nestness of the Tech students In
meeting the present crisis, the sen
ior privates, commonly known as
Company Q, who are exempt from
drill by college rules, have again
shouldered guns and say they will
be sufficiently brushed up in their
knowledge of military affairs to
meet any call that will be made
upon them. With a view of cen
j taring attention upon the military
training, the authorities have can
celled all athletic engagements for
the remainedr of the season ana
the athletes are now putting their
( full time with guns Instead of bats
A number of Tech students have
already enlisted in some branch of
the regular service or in the na
tional guard, and large numbers
have made applications for com
missions in the Officers' Reserve
Corps. No doubt others will ans
wer the call upon completion of th«-
school year.
MILITARY SCHOOL
To Train Citizens for Commissioned
Officers, to be Held at Fort Ogle
thorpe, Georgia, From May
Bth to Aug. Bth, 1917.
A Training School for the pur
pose of preparing American citi

officer* during the period of the
present war will be held lis al>ove

TIIOMO who Hftlmfactorily coin
ple'e the preparatory work will
be conimiMftioned as ofllceru in the
U. S. Army. It is not necessary
that applicants should have any
previous military training. The
purpose of the school is to make
officers out of citizens.
The United States is now enter
ing the greatest war in ita history
and lias on its hands the job of
raising an army of Twelve Hun
dred Thousand men, with noother
officers than those of the regular
army and National Guard to start
with. The immediate and impera
tive need is for additional officers
who can train and handle mm,
and for this we shall require in
the next four or five months ap
proximately forty thousand offi
cers in all branches of the service.
North Carolina is called upon |
to furnish One Thousand of these,
and all that is necessary to start
with is a sound body, a clear
thinking mind, and the desire for
patriotic service. Surely this
great St«te will not fail to furnish
her full quota.
