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. + PERSONAL. + ♦ y.; ♦ Mr. T. 0.

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.

Leading And Prominent Citizen Paa* • es Away at Bit Hone ia Bur- ITa» ml li ■ P ■ »...Jan fctt *- * 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. Among relatives and friends out at BurJifjgton attending the funeral were: ,X M. Cates and family, T. A. Ingle, O. F. Blackmon E. P. Wharton, W. C. Borei\ of Oreens boro; Mr. B. M. Cates, Tallehissee. Pla.; Mr. W A. Zaehnrv. Sanforrt Fia.; Mrs. Pannio Clark, Mr. ana Mrs. J.

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, GEO. W. GOBSETT, Gen. Employment Mgr., U. S.
