AN ACT PROPOSED BY THE N. C. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE An Act to Prohibit the Posssession and Delivery cf Intoxicating Liq uors tioes Into Effect April 15, 1915. Whereas exact scientific research has demonstrated that alcohol is a narcotic poison, destructive and de generating to the human organism, and that its distribution as a beverage lays a staggering economic burden upon the shouders of the people, low ers to an appalling degree the average standard of character of our citizen ship, thereby undermining the public moials and the foundations of free institutions, produces wide-spread crime, pauperism and insanity, inflicts disease and untimely death upon hun dreds of thousands of citizens and blights with degeneracy their children unv.orn, threatening the future integ rity and the very life of the state:. Therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section I. That, except as otherwise provided in this act, it shall be unlaw ful for any person, firm or corporation or any agent officer or employe there of, to receive or be in possession of any spirituous, vinous, fermented or malt liquors or intoxicating bitters, within the state of North Carolina, for his, hers, theirs or its own use, or for the use of any other person, firm or corporation.

And FAKE CREAMERY PROMOTERS re at Work in Cleveland County Are Taking Advantage of the Low Price of CVtt-... It seems that with the low price of cotton the tanner has enough prob lems to face While he is trying to shape his affairs so he can get some live stock on hand and a few dairy cows to work. However, one misfor tune follows another and right now the ever resourceful creamery promot er is again with us in the shape of a salesman with machinery to sell. He has taken advantage of the present situation to talk dairying instead of selling cream separators and encour aging the sale of cream to the cream eries already existing nearby, he in sists that his machinery be purchased at a high price. He takes every means and opportu nity to discredit the activities of the State and Government agents and makes the grossest misrepresentations regarding factory operation and gen eral conditions. Operations just now are centered in Cleveland county. It will be to your advantage as business men, cit izens and leaders to report any activ ities of of creamery promoters in any part of the state. The dairy business has more than doubled the past year;two new cream eries have been built; over 200 silos and o0 dairy barns have been con structed under the supervision of this division, yet the promoter innsists the dairy development is being hindered because we do not favor his methods. A new scheme is being worked as the promoter agrees to put in the ma chinery at a lower price than usually charged and leaves it to the new or ganized company to put up their own biuldings.

The program for Thursday, Public Roads, Grounds and Buildings Day, is intended to suggest ways and means by which young and old, men and women, in every community, may join in actual physical effort together. It is to be a genuine "work day" with recreational features for the noon hours and the afternoon or evening. Let the local committee for this day arrange a schedule of community work which will provide. 1. For Improving Roads (or in Town, Streets, Sidewalks, Parks, and Public BuildiAgs.) ' On Good R ""d? Day in 1011, Governor Craig led a band of road workers in his home township in Buncombe. At Chapel Hill, Dr. Pratt, of the Gelogi cal Survey, and President Graham, of the University, with many citizens of the town, several members of the faculty and four hundred students, side drained and surfaced with gravel an eighth of a mile of Franklin Street, the main street of the town. In Randolph County, 2,000 men and boys worked two days using one hundred and fifty teams, grading eight miles and gravel ing one and one-half miles of road. On account of the vital interdependence between good roads and good schools, special care should be taken to improve the approaches to the school houses. Remove logs, rocks, stumps and stones from the roadway; fill holes, pref erably with good earth; cover stretches of sand with clay and gravel; drain wet places in the roadway; scrape off and outwards sod margins where they hold the water with sand or gravel; but the gravel should not contain any clay unless it is to be placed on sand. Culverts may be repaired or new culverts put in. Road drags (of planks or split logs) should be made and arrangements perfected for using them after rains, throughout the season on all clay or loamy soils. Don't try to do too much. Don't start more than you can finish. You cannot build a macadam road, nor very long stretches of gravel road in one day. Don't haul gravel onto roads that have not been properly graded and drained. Don't grade roads that have not been properly staked out on correct lines. Don't plow long stretches of road and leave them impassable. Don't scrape sods on to the traveled roadway and leave them for passing vehicles to smooth Write the Department of Education Days and Geological Survey at Chapel :. For Improing Schoolhouses and Grounds. Let the women give the interior of the building a "Fall Cleaning." Fresh ooms, clean windows, polished stoves, simple, well kept furnishings, and pretty pictures on the walls promote the pupils. Let the men put the exterior of the building in complete repair, making the house thoroughly comfortable for the severe winter months. Both men and women may clean and beautify the grounds. If the school grounds are unsightly, with fences half down, no walks, ashes scattered around and no trees out; if the building needs a new roof or conditions. If only a beginning can be need to be done, make the beginning. school committee and formulate a definite plan for future improvement. Such a plan in two or three years will result in the complete transformation of grounds and buildings. Write the Department of Education, Raleigh, N. C, for its Bulietin of Plans for Public Schoolhouses and School Grounds and read the articles on Schools in Section For Similar Work in Improving Churches and Burying Grounds. If the country church is to be an uplifting power, the church building must not be allowed to suffer neglect appearance of the grounds and exterior and the comfort and attractiveness of the interior have much to do with the influence upon the finer life of the comunity.

The afternoon in the auditorium in which all the pupils A day or even part of a day spent children, and is thoroughly enjoyed by can be greatly improved at little cost while the children will be taught to appreciate the beauties of nature around them. Other public places can be improved in the same way. Under the subjects "Arbor Day" and bulletin, a suggested Arbor Day program, which can be modified to suit con ditions by those in charge, and instructions for planting are given. These should be followed as c'ose'.y as the weather and other conditions will permit. Full instructions for planting can be Chapel Hill, N.

Sing "America," "The Star Spangled Banner," "Columbia," "The Old North State," and other patriotic songs. "Uncle Sam and "Columbia" in costume will add to the attrativeness of the event. If there is a local band, let it lead the procession around the flag and. play patriotic airs. 6. For Singing Party, or Other Social Features at Night. The hour devoted to this part of the program may be occupied in various ways. Games (as suggested in Section VI) may be played. Fairy tales, Uncle ReTius and animal stories, myths stories illustrating the adventures and heroism of North Carolinians and Americans of the early days, may be made to do good service here. The school or library may be drawn upon for material and frequently a little child will tell the story better than some older person. Incidents in North Caro lma history growing out of such events as the Edenton Tea Party, the Battle cf Alamance, the Revolution, and the Civil War, can be made the basis of beautiful scenes and tableaux. Read the article in Section VI on Historical Pageants. Stories may be followed with glee club songs, negro melodies, and songs of patriotism. "Suwanee River," "Old Black Joe," "Annie Laurie," "The Old Oaken Bucket," "Home, Sweet Home," will find a response in many hearts. Write at once to W. C. Crosby, Raleigh, N.

However, there is an incentive more powerful than that inspired by any ruler which will make community ser vice possible the desire of .each in dividual to do something to make the world better for her having lived in it. This special call is merely a spur wisely administered. You United Farm Women, and others all over the South who have not yet strengthened yourselves by organization, can you not make this December 3, 4, and 5 memorable? Try it. No one knows what she can do until she tries. What can you do? Here are the words of the Governor: "Every man, woman and child shall lend heart, hand and brain to the service and de velopment of every community and county, and days wherein people shall meet, confer and work together for the immediate improvement of the community and wise planning for its future." He even gives the details. Get The Asheboro Courier of Octo ber 1, and read the proclamation on page 1, if you have not already done so. Hold a meeting at once and de cide on the details of this three days' protracted meeting of service. Let us consider just a few of these details you will think of 50 more. Public Roads. If you do nothing but have a bee to make ten new split log drags and arrange by whom and when and on what sections of road each shall be used, it will be worth while. Public Grounds. Take one good, long look at your courthouse and jail grounds and you will see something to do. In Europe they decide on cer tain trees that are to be planted along certain roads and all turn out and plant them, and lo, the result is 50 miles or more of fine road under the shade of linden, oaks, or elm, and Americans spend thousands of dollars there each year because of their beau ty Kuildings. There is much to do i building a new bridge, repairing the jail roof, educating some man to re- moving his pig-pen from the front to the back of his house, erecting a horse shelter at the church, cemetery, etc. Perhaps you have no good build- ing for your aged and sick.

Clover and Vetch Seed Hard To Get Anothrr reason for sowing rye tin's year, is the fact that the rumpus! tu'iubs ine waier is maKing crimson clover and vetch seed hard to get. The price for the few that are com ing over is soaring higher than aero planes over the armies. Therefore, iu'L-u ruing to me present prospects we nre not going to be able to e-et manv clover and vetch seed to plant. Since we cannot get those seeds, let's take our o'd reliable rye, except where we can get burr clover and those seed are becoming scarce. If you have clover seed it will do well to mix them with rye and put less of each, so as to make the clover cover more land, in order to get the benfit of the legume properties of the clov er and then have the rve to put addi tional humus in the soil. . Do not wait till the day you want to plant before getting your rye seed. Decide today how many bushels o'f rye you will need and go to town and get them. The prospects are that no seed will be any cheaper this fall, and win ter than now, and there are good pros pects that they are going to be much higher. Get in every acre of rye possible.
