—Sugar "carcity continues. When
a barrel comes —a rare occurrence,
it is picked up as fast as it can be
weighed out. There is a promise,
however, that it will be reasonably
plentiful in a few days. So many
have become accustomed to doing
without it lately, so much complaint
is not heard.
—The recent cold weather has
caused considerable lose in bursted
water pipes. In late years the winters
have been so mild that many grew
careless about their water pipes and
were not prepared for the extreme
cold, but they have learned a lesson
Many, too, lost much of their canned
vegetables and fruits for the same
reason, when a little forethought and
preparation would have saved it.

Board of Education Met Monday-
School Funds Appropriated.
' The County Board of Education
was in session Mondsy and Tuesday.
The special work of the Board at
this session was the apportionment
of the school funds. Under the law
ihf business of the Board is to see
that each school has a four-months
term, the coet of operating the school
tming * governing factor in fixing
theamoontapportioned. The Board's
apportionment is not affected by the
amount any school may receive from
local taxes and donations.
In 1917 the school fund amounted
in round numbers to about $33,000,
and this year it is estimated at about
$36,000.
From the 1917 apportionment the
Graham schools received sbout $2,-
200, and the 1918 apportionment is
about S4OO less, which the trustees
of the school do not understand, and
it is feared the school term will be
cat short a month or more.

New Members For Red Cross.
EDITOR GLEANER :
The American Red Cross must
double their membership. Not
one-fifth of those in Graham who
should belong, do belong. By
joining the Red Cross the only
pledge you take is to pay One
Dollar per year so long as you con
tinue a member, and u> enroll
your name as one of those who
wantH our soldier boys to have
proper care and nursing when
sick, or wounded. There is no
promise on your part to do more
than give the dollar, and that you
must do before your name is en
rolled ; and by the payment of this
dollar your name is placed upon
the roll of those who not only
want, but. who have helped, to
care for our wounded and sick
boys. Beginning now, a drive for
new members will be made. A list
of those now members can be seen
in Postoffice. Commencing in next
week's issue, we will publish the
list of the new members in this
column.

Many Articles Used in Emergency
Rations for Fighting Men.
The equipment of no soldier is
complete without emergency food
rations. United States troops are
supplied with three different
parched maize-meal packets and
three chocolates. The former is
a revival of the maize-meal of the
American Indians, on which they
could exist for days while hunt
ing or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration fam
ished Belgian, French aud Teu
tonic soldiers is a winter food of
compressed meat. There are more
than a dozen varieties of com
pressed teas used by the Russian
commissary. Compressed rice and
macaroni is supplied Oriental
forces. Oat-bread in sausage form
is used by some of fhe North Brit
ish troops.
A curious ration is the com
pressed tig coffee of the Central
Powers, which may either be uti
lized for food as it is or converted
into a coffee-like drink. Smoke
dried pears are used in the snine
armies. The Swiss soldier receives
an emergency ration of white
chocolate, made entirely of cocoa
butter and sugar.
An Italian army chocolate is in
sausage-length form, while their
plum duff goes into a beef mem
brane.
Presidnet Wilson is like'the light
ning. He never has to strike the
same spot twice.
Timber and Wood Wanted!
If you have any timber, woo l, or
timberland to sell, let me hear from
you. I want to Ituy the same.

Leading And Prominent Citizen Paa*

ungton Saturday Night. -
Mr. James Wesley Cates, pioneer
progressive businesa man.
prominent In church and civic
worker In the town and. county,
died auddenly at hia home last*
Saturday night at U o'clock. His
death comes as a great and sud
den blow to the town, aa he possi
bly ranked aa the moat prominent
and influential citizen of the town
tor the past So years.
About four yeara ago Mr. Cates
was In an automobile accident that
came near caualng his death and
resulted in injuries that probably
hastened his death. He recovered
aufficiently to take up his work
again in the business world and
was actively engaged up to the
end. He waa at his post all day
Saturday, an 4, although he com
plained Tor several days, he did not
give up. After supper he went up
town for the maif and got home
about nine o'clock. Aoout ten
o'clcok he was taken ill and phys
icians came and loinistered to him,
but in half an hour he austainea
a stroke of paralysis and died in
stantly.
Thus passed a man who has
meant more to Burlington than any
other man connected with its his
tory. He waa born September 30,
1847, in the section of Orange coun
ty that later became a part of Al
amance. Hia parents were Wil
liam and Sarah Cheek Cates, and
his mother is now living- at his
home at the age of 80 yeara. Mr.
Cates remembered distinctly the
names and features of seven grand
parents and great-grandparents, 17
uncles and aunts,
and one great-great-iirictte, who
died at the age of 104.
He was married In 1869 to Miss
Sarah Patterson, from which union
three children survive. In 1885 he
was married to Miss Sarah Scott of
Virginia, and six children survive
this union. A remarkable coinci
dence is the similarity in the man
ner of hia death and that of his
wife. She was stricken with par
alysis on Saturday night twenty
two weeks before.
Mr. Catea Is survived by nine
children, as follows: W. Luther
Cates, Mrs. J. H. Vernon, Mrs. L.
D. Perry and Misses Bertha, Verm
and Julia Cates of Burlington; Jns.
M. Cates of Greensboro; O. Robert
Cates of Atlanta, Oa. j and C. Grady
Catea of Roanoke, Va.; hia mother.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cates; two brothers,
W. M. and B. M. Catea of Talle
hassee, Pla.; two sisters* Mrs. H.
C. Zachary of Sanford, Pla.: and
Mrs. Finnie Clarke of Chapel IIMI.
The funeral was held Tuesday
lmorning at 10 o'clock in the First
Baptist church, Pastor M.W. Buck
conducting the services. The Ma
sons,-Odd-Fellows and Pythiana of
which a memoer, attended
the funeral In bodies.
The Sfervlce was a unique ana
impressive one. Because of his
great interest in every interest in
his citj\ a few of his friends .were
?;iven the. opportunity to speak,
rom their hearts. Thfe order of
service was as follows:
Hymn—"Nearer My God To
Thee."
Scripture reading—ll Samuel 3 :3S,
by Pastor M. W. Buck.
Quartette—"Sometime We'll Un
derstand."
Prayer—Rev. J. W. Holt.
Mr. Cates As An Educator—Rev.
M. W. Buck.
Mr. Cates as a Member of Fra
ternal Orders—Mr. E. S. W. Damer
on.
Mr. Cates as a Business Man-
Mr. W. E. Sharpe.
"Hymn—"O Love That Will Not
Let Me Go."
Mr. Cates as a Progressive Cit
izen.—Mr. John M. Cook.
Mrr Cates as a Christian and
Church Member—Dr. J. C. Stale.v.
Mr. Cates as a Man—Mr. E. 8.
Parker, Jr.
HyroW-?(SFhe Model Church," Mr.
C. L. Shoffner.
H.vmn—"Abide With Me."
The pall bearers were the same
as at Mrs. Cates' funeral.
It would be hard to estimate
what Mr. Cates has meant to Bur
lington. He arrived In the city In
1880, when the town had 817 peo
ple. With twelve others in 1887
he organized the First Baptist
church, of which he has always
been a deacon and recently was
made deacon for life. He has h*en
mayor and alderman of the city,
and has been director of four banks
and was president of one for a
while. In the establishment of
the Burlington Graded School he
was largely instrumental and was
one of the first members of Boara
•of Trustees, ne was the last of
the five original members of this
board. He was secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce for two
years. Naming his activitien is
is like giving a business directory
of Burlington.
The 'first Burlington postofflce
box was rented by Mr. J. W. Cates
and he was given the first tele
phone number and he made the
first deposit In a bank of the city.
For the past 20 years Mr. Cates
has been engaged in selling fuel
and all Jcinds of building material.
His business life was a full one,
but no fuller than his church ana
social life. A man of rare Judg
men and an assiduous disciple of
duty, Mr. Cates developed all the
best sides of his nature.

Alamance Tar Heel in "Lone Star"
State.
Cor. oft The Gleaner.
Camp Taliaferro, Fort Worth, Tei.,
D. 8. Aviation Fields 1, 2 and 3.
f Deoember 28th, 1918.
It may or may not be o! intereet
to the people of Alamance to know
that do*n in one of Texan' moat
prosperous cities it a man who waa
born in Alamance County Thirty
eight years ago, who left there when
he waa five years of age and came to
Texas. The man to whom 1 refer ia
Capt. Robt. J. liove, General Supt.
of Conatruction on the above named
aviation fielda. Capt Love ia a
genuine Tar Heel despite the fact
•hat ho was raiaed in Texaa. He
haa established an unprecedented
record for conatructing of camps.
Whit we are doing here and the
rnanaor in which we have secured
the fullest co-operation of the people
of Texaa ia highly commendable.
There hia been much criticism in
the East in regard to the Weat
"slacking," butfrom my obaervation,
the big, whole-souled peop.e of the
Weat are coming forth to anawcrthe
call long before the draft can rarh
them. Wilh the cool daring for
which the Texana are noted thai they
are filling up the ranks. There is
one mother here who haa seven sons
in the service; she gave her husband
in '9B wilh the Rough Riders on
San Juan Hill. Still we must stop
to consider thst Texas has a good
share of Tar Heel faces 'scattered
over her plains.
Our next work will be from the
present outlook, "Somewhere in
France," but wherever the Govern
ment deems best to send this unit of
the Signal Corps, Construction Di
vision, it will try to keep the record
already made.
Ob, yes, you may rest assured that
Christmas was one day in the year
that we wanted to just imagine that
we were eating an Old North State
dinner. If you want to Bee a free
for-all fight start, then just mention
home to some the boys on the
fields here; but it is not from being
homesick, but their to get
over to France and get into the war.
The different labor organizations
have given me their fulleat support
in my department, and have made
no attempt to ahow a atrike spirit.
Whatever grievancea they had were
settled by the business agent in %
friendly way. Hundreda of akilled
men who have worked with me on
these fields are. ready to go to France
to do anything that Uncle Ham may
want them to do "Over Then."
With best wishes to the people of
Alamance and yourself and wishing
you a happy and prosperoua New
Year I am,
Cordially youra,
