SOLDIERS HONORED.
Big Celebration in Burlington Big
Success.
The biggest event in the history
of Alamance was the welcome to the
world-war soldiers in Burlington last
Friday, May 30th. It was the pleas
ure of the entire county to take part
and contribute to the success of the
occasion. The management of li e
celebration headeil by Mr. W. Manley
Baker and his corps of assistants
left nothfilg undone that would con
tribute to the success of the occasion
or the pleasureof the visitors Every
link in the chain fitted in at the
right place. It would take more
time and space than wo uow com
mand to run the gamunt of every in
teresting detail. To be fully appre
ciated it must have been seen. At a
conservative estimate 25,KJ0 people
witnessed the pageant. The people
came from all parts of Alamance and
from other counties.
The City had been appropriate
decorated in patriotic colors and the
climax was reached in the massive
Victory Arch spanning Main St.
In tue parade, more than a mile
long, were the speakers, wounded
soldiers ami Confederate veterans
and many others in automobiles, led
by mounted police; floats of hand
some and expressive design, repre
senting war-work organizations for
the relief, comfort and pleasure of
the soldiers, also business activities
and manufacturing concerns from all
parta of the county, detachments of
soldiers and sailors in uniform;
bands of music; civic organizations.
The colored soldiers and the various
colored organizations wero becom
ingly honorod. One of the most
conspicuous and enjoyable units in
the parade wa« the big colored hand.
At the speakers' stand in front of
the Graded School building the
speaking took place. The first
speaker was Senator L. S. Overman
introduced by Hon. J. Elmer Long.
Next came Judge Jas. lv Boyd intro
duced by Hon. \V. 11. Carroll, lloth
made strong patriotic speeches which
were greatly enjoyed. Then came
the soldiers- —three who did active
and honorablo service in France, Mr.
Deltoj It. Fonville, in eloquent words
introduced Col. Don 10. Scott who
fittingly paid high tribute to the
soldiery qualities of Col. Sidney W.
M inor. Col. Minor B|>oke eloquent
ly and foelingly of the achievements
of tho bravo boys of tin 120 th In
fantry, 30th Division, to which he
and Col. Scott were attached.
The speaking concluded the hol-|
iliern wore conducted to the immense
tables where a fount lit for a king
hud been prepured., Thin part of
the entertainment wan presided over
by Mrs. Jan. N. Williamson, .1 r.,
and wan no less a success in every
detail than tlio host featuie of the
day's program. The repast was
bountiful —plenty and to spare,
skillfully prepurel. 8> ended the
sot programme of a memorable oc
casion.
This story would not bo complete
without specially mentioning the con
tribution of Graham Chapter I'. 1). ('.

Laying The Fou/idations
News and Observer.
The tremendous effect of the
forward looking legislation enact
ed by the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly is being more and
more realized. The provision for
a full six-months' school iu every
district in the State and the com
pulsory attendance act spell
twenty-five years of ordinary pro
gress as we have heretofore been
accustomed to measure progress
iu North Carolina.
Not only are the schools to be
run but the law-maker wont fur
ther and made wise provision for
seeing that the childreu attend.
The new compulsory law requires
children from eight to fourteen
years of age to be iu school for the
full term. Also, in the person of
the County Superintendent of
l'ublic Welfare, required by law
iu every county, an official is pro
vided whoso duty it is to see that
the law i« carried out and that
the attendance of the children is
secured. As an example of the
way the new law is being received
the act of the officials of Colum
bus county may be cited The
Whiteville News-Reporter says:
The ltotrd of Kduenliou and
Hoard of County Commissioners
held a joint lU'teliiig on May sth,
and together agreed to employ a
t ounty .Superintendent of Public
Welfare, at a salary of f1,500 a
year. The two boards agreed to
furnish said County Superintend
ent of Public Welfare with a Font"
roadster, and to pay all expenses
for the lip-keep of said car. 'j'lie
County Superintendent of Public
Welfare is to act as probation
officer to the county juvenile
court. In this capacity he must
Ik? in touch with all the neglected,
dependent, or delinquent children,
and under the direction of the
court investigate their surround
ings aud seek uieausof protecting
them in their own homes or on
probation, or of getting them into
suitable homes or institutions,
lie is also to act as chief school
attendance officer of the county,
to whom will Ist reported by the
school official* all children in their
respective districts who are not
attending school as provided by
law In all these relations he is
the next friend of .the child and
must work always in his behalf,
lie must find out why parents are
not sending their children to
school aud seek to remedy the
cause

A severe electric storm parsed

Farmers are very busy with
their farm work; harvest is about
on and the rains have kept them
a little behind with other work.
A number of our people attend
ed the celebration at Burlington
aud all report a grand time and a
very hot day.
Our people arc not expecting
any higher valuation on real
estate —our roads are so bad that
it ought to be lower instead of
higher. They pay the same road
tax that is paid in other communi

BUILD NOW!
More Americans Should Own Their
Own Homes."
U. 8. Dept. of Labor,
W. 15. YVilson, Secretary.
Somewhere in fife heart of every
man in the desiro to be independ
ent. Independence is the meas
ure of one's standing in the com
munity.
The first step along the road to
independence is to own one's
home. The man who owns liis
own home is the respected, the
trusted man in every community.
One of the largest employers of
lalwr in the country ordered a
canvass of his factories to determ
ine what percentage of his em
ployees owned their own homes.
At the same time he urged ail
employees in the establishment to
become home owners or home
buyers.
Sound logic prompted this ac
tion. The responsible inau is the
valuable employee. The home
owner has a deeper sense of civic
pride. He is established; he is
responsible; he is interested in
everything that tends toward the
peace ami security and upbuild
ing of the community.
The example set by one manu
facturer will be followed by olh'-rs.
It will daily become more requi
site to a man's securing responsi
ble employment that he owns his
own linn e
There is little excuse for a man
not owning his own home. The
great Liberty Loans have instilled
into the American people lessons
of thrift that will endure through
the coining days of peace. Every
man can and should own his own
home. •=»
There is no appeal from the
man who seeks a position that is
treated so lightly, by private and
public employer alike, as the ap
peal which comes from the man
who has everything to gain and
nothing to lose
The independent man always
owns his own home—build yours
now.
Effective Fire Protection in North
Carolina.
Cnder the caption, "Old North
State Scored Again," The South
ern Underwriter of Atlanta, pays
tribute to North Carolina's tire
prevention work as proving effec
tive through the co-operation of
Insurance Commissioner, the peo
ple and the insurance companies.
Says the Underwriter:
"For several years Insurance
Commissioner Young of North
Carolina, in co-operation with the
iusurance companies and the
agents, has been working steadily
on the lire prevention idea as the
best means of reducing the fire
loss and eventually the lire insur
ance rate. In his report covering
the, year 1017, Commissioner
Young said that the people of
North Carolina are awakening to
the importance of cutting down
the fire waste. The loss ratio of
all companies in the State that
year was 48.07 per cent."
The Underwriter gives North
Carolina tigues as to the us yet, in
complete ratio for 1918, shown to
be 34.73 as compared with 42 39
ritiofora similar class of com
panies for 11117 (the direct-writing
stock companion) and gives rela
tive ratios for live years in North
Carolina showing 07.83 for 1914 ;
68 30 for 1015; 47.77 for 191(1;
42 311 for 11» 17, and 34.73 for 1918.
The Underwriter says the ratio of
losses in North Carolina began to
fall iu 115 and has been "s.eadi
ly decreasing etch year." And
"that while the increased pre
miums are responsible to some
extent for the lower ratio during
the past three years, the figures
showing losses incurred indicate
that the companies would have
had a fair experience even with
out premium gains."

The Heart of Draper
AT AUCTION
FRIDAY, JUNE 6,1919, at 6:30 P. I
. . JT'I ■ : — r t „ • '1 '
It is thought by some of the best informed people here that Draper
will have a population equal to Spray's present population in a much less
time than Spray has been acquiring its population. No place in America
presents the same opportunity as Draper to industrial plants and profes
sional men, and most especially to home-seekers. To-day Draper has a
population of approximately 4,000 people, $1,500,000 pay roll, and is sur
rounded by streams and 6,000 acres of the most beautiful grass lands and
forests, whicluar§ gradually being opened up, to be found anywhere in
the world. The site for a big/roller mill, corn mill, and seed house be
tween the Cascade road and the Draper Station has been paid for and
deed delivered. Negotiations are new under way for the establishment
of an axe-handle and tool-handle factory. The Cascade road will be
opened up as soon as the wheat is out of the way.
The~ property we will offer lies along the North side of the Meadow
road, beginning within a hundred yards of the station at Draper and
running to the West towards Spray. Lying between the centers of pop
ulation at Spray and Draper, we believe it to be the surest place in this,
or any other county, to place money in land. Spray and Draper are here
to stay, and the value of this land will always increase.
Free Prizes !
Every woman attending this sale will have an opportunity of drawing for a Guernsey heifer, and every
man of drawing for a mule colt. Every person attending this sale, and the two succeeding sales to be held
at Draper or Spray, will have an opportunity of drawing for a new ford car. Many other valuable prizes
will be given. We expect this to be the gala occasion of all land sales held in North Carolina. Come along
and profit by the big commercial boom which is on its way. yisitors from a distance will be given an op
portunity to attend the cattle show on the Woodstock Farm, which joins the lands being sold, and of seeing
the great bull, Lord Wilton Fairfax, who is the best son of the champion of the world, and whose brother
sold during the month of April for $50,000. • .

COLOGNE'S UPS AND DOWNS
Important German City of the Present
Has Had* Its Periods of Dire
Adversity.
During the Middle Ages Cologne
*II a place of great trade; the weav
ers, the goldsmiths, and the armorer*
of tbfc city Were famous the world
over; while Its merchants had houses
Is London, and the city Itself was ac
corded a chief place In the Hanseatlc
league. Decay set In with the dawn of
the Reformation, and the place owed
Its downfall to Its Intolerance. Thus,
Its university, which In the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation, began at once to decline.
Tta'i policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when.
In 17V4, Cologne was occupied by the
Trench, It was a poor and decayed
city of some 40,000 inhabitants, of
which only *,OOO possessed civil rights.
Since lUlifT however, when It was
Anally assigned to I'russla, Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to
day It Is o«e of the most Important
ililes of Germany, with a population
of Dearly half a million.
Fool-Proof Airplane.
The latest model of British airplane
is Said o l>e as nearly foolproof aa It
Is possible to make snch a machine
aa an airplane. The machines are so
balanced and the wings so arranged,
that when me engine stops they glide
gradually and easily to earth. The
following teat (hows how stsble these
airplanes are; A pilot climbed to a
sufficient height, and then stopped his
engine and took his hands off the con
trol, merely keeping his feet on the
ladder bar. He steered for an air
drome twenty miles awsy, snd, hsvlng
headed her straight, he let the air
plane do what she liked. Bhe trav
eled the whole twenty miles as stead
ily as s bicycle coasting down s long,
straight snd gentle hill. Of coarse
the pilot had to tsks hold of the con
trol stick to Isnd the mschlne In the
slr4rons. but except for thst. snd the
i stsSrlog, the airplane mads ths whole
Jowney by herself.
