in the cause, on resolution of Woodus
Kellum, of Wilmington. Mr. Jones,
in his letter states that there are in
Randolph county . 2,188 persons ten

The letter in full which Mr. Jones
: has sent to the Asheboro Council No.

'.'Tarboro, N. C,
"Dear Sir and Brother: At the last
teession of the State Council the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
"Mr. Woodus Kollum, an attorney
. of Wilmington, at. the closing meeting
introduced a resolution providing for
. an appropriation of $1500 for carrying
on. the moonlight school work in Nortn
Carolina and directing Mr. Paul Jones,
; retiring State Councilor, to take up
. this work as field agent and accredited
representative of the Order. Mr.
iKelhim's resolution, setting forth these
provisions was as fellows:
"iWhereas the adage 'reading
i by i the lightwood knot fire' has been
, dethroned and the Idea of the moon
light schools has been enthroned in
North Carolina primarily by the ef
forts exerted by our retiring State
Councilor during the past year, aided
by . the hearty cooperation of the 30,
. 000 Juniors in North Carolina.
".'And, whereas, there has been an
. educational awakening in the last de
cade in North Carolina which has far
surpassed and far exceeds that of any
other people of any State in the Tra
ction' in. the world's history, but all or
which looked to the education of the
: youth nd future generations.
"'And, whereas, the Junior Order,
conscious of the fact that there are in
North Carolina a large number of
s&dultt who -are unable to enjoy the
privilege of writing, who are, there
fore, deprived of their right in their
idle or lonely moments or communing
with the -savages of the past and the
-wizards of .the present.
" 'And, whereas, our retiring State
'Councilor, Katil Jones, is .entitled to
much of the credit for beginning a
campaign in North Carolina whkn
must in a short time result in the
elimination of adult illiteracy in the
Old Worth State, for by this system
the Juniors will rgo out into the high
ways and hedges and bring -.to the
moonlight schools the adult illiterates
in North Carolina.
"'Therefore be it resolved by the
Junior Order in convention assembled
in Charlotte at the aession of 1915 ttia
the sum of $1,500 be and the same is
Tiereby appropriated out of the funds
now in the hands of the treasurer ol
the Junior Order for the State f
Korth Carolina to continue the agita
tion, the establishment and the prop
osition of moonlight sciools in Nortn
Carolina.
"'Be it further resolved that Paut
Jones, the retiring State Councilor, be

order.
"In-your county -there -are 18,850
white persons over ten years of age.
There are 2,188 persons ten years old
and over who can not read or write.
"Now what do you think of this
condition? Do you think we ought
to get busy and remedy this condition
just as soon as possible?
"You will ask yourselves what can
be done and what will be done?
Here Ia The Plan.
"The plan is simple in detail. It
contemplates setting apart of a certain
month during the coming school year
to be known and observed throughout
North Carolina as 'Moonlight School
Month.' It is hoped we nav organize
and conduct (three night in a week)
for at least this whole month a night
school for adult illiterates in every
school district in the State where such
illiterates are to be found.
"The above is taken from a pam
phlet issued by the Board of Educa
tion of North Carolina,
"Every county superintendent
public instruction in the State has
pledged his services. More than one
thousand of the public school teachers
have volunteered their services with
out reward or hope of reward, to ach
in these moonlight schools. Will
your Council do Its Part? Surely it
Will.
,"If so here is exactly what I want
you to do. When the moonlight .school
near you -opens this fall be sure and
see the teacher .at once. Let her
know that .you are behind her. Make
out a list of those in your neighbor
hood who can not .read or write and
go to see them. Tell them about the
school and explain the whole matter
plainly to them in a quiet manner. Let
them understand that it wll cost them
nothing and then invite them to attend
the school and .get acquainted with
the tender.
"It will take some personal work to
make this .great movement successful
Enclosed you will find a card. Read
it carefully. Bring this matter before
your Council. Discuss it thoroughly.
Sign the card ;and return t me at
Tarboro as soon .as possible.
"I am going .to give my entire time
to this great work during the ensuing
year and this will take me to every
county in the State. I am -going to
visit as many councils this year as
possible.
Something Else To Be Done.
"In case there is not a moonlight
school in .your neighborhood or com
munity, then do the manly thing your
self by turning your council hall into
a school house and selecting compe
tent members fif vtlie order to teach
and instruct those whe can not read
or write. I hope .your council will be
fortunate enough to have a teacher
in the community that will do this
work for yu, but in case such a (teach
er can not fee found do the work your
self. "The whole State is wide awake on
this question and the eyes of .the peo
ple are on us .as never .before.
.. "North Carolina is expecting great
things from us this year. 1 believe
this will measure up TuHy to :.the oc
casion and expectations ef all.
"In conclusion let me say that this
work before us is a very -serious pro
position, and surely we will not allow
anything to switch us from the proper
way.
"I shall anxiously await your reply
to this request. When the year closes
1 win want to report to tne state 1
Council that every sub-ordinate eoun
cil came to the front and did its duty
in this fight to free .our State from
illiteracy.
"Unless I hear from you in a rea
sonable time I shall write you Again.

The October bulletin sent out by the
Farmers and Merchants Bank at
Hillsboro on Raising Pork at a Piofit
is good reading for our farmers.
Strange to say, we are steadily fall
ing behind in pork production in mid
dle wcKtern North Carolina.
jne eastern counties are now
leading the State in this particu
lar.
In the entire State in 1910, only 26
counties were raising pork enough for
home consumption; all of them east
ern counties.
Mow To Prevent Croup.
It rauy be a surprise to you to learn
that ia many cases croup can be pre
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experence as fol
lows: "My little boy is subject to
croup. During the past winter I kept
a boftle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in the house, and when he began
having that croupy cough I would
give him one or two doses of it and
it would break the attack. I like it
better for children than any other
cough medicine because children take
it willingly, and it is safe and relia
ble.'" Sol by all druggists.

EACH INDIVIDUAL PIG
Side Elevation of
f Young pigs, Just after they are !
taken away from their dam, should
be given their teed ln Buch a manner
that each individual pig gets Its share.
The simplest way to accomplish this
la to allow the pigs to eat from a
properly constructed feed trough;
one that will keep the pigs cut of the
feed and will lessen the possibility
of crowding the little ones out of
their rightful allowance.
The weaning trough shown above Is
used with good results on the govern
ment experiment farm at Beltsvllle,
Md. This trough Is large enough to
hold a quantity of stop sufficient to
teed 20 weanling pigs weighing p-
f 'proximately 35 pounds. It is only
three Incites deep, ttius enabling the
pigs to gt at their feed very con
venlently. The construction f the

snade a study of it. There are certain
fixed formulas In ue, and practice

The essential requisites to success
fallow:
Jt is very necessary that the fruit
be first properly prepared. Do not
haiidle the fruit with the bare hands,
wear a pair of soft woolen gloves;
clip the fruit from the vine or tree,
leaving the atem. W ash it under a
spray or hose of cold water to re
move .all dust .or foreign matter; hang
by tte stem until thoroughly dry.
Lie sure to sel;ct perfect specimens,
placing them ia the preserving liquid
ti to t8 hours. Before thoroughly
n'pened have your jars cluaned and
ready, also preserving liquids proper
ly prepared before gathering your
fruit. After fruits are prepared set
in a cool, dark place. Always use dis
tilled or bottled wator, but never rain
water.
Don't get discouraged if the first
attempt does uot prove successful, but
keep experimenting until you do suc
ceed. Don't fail to properly label the
specimens, giving name, variety, where
and by wbom produced.
The formulas follow:
For berries and all fruits Clear

used with good results with straw
berries, blackberries, raspberries and

43 pounds, making it very convenient
for one man to handle. This trough,
constructed as cheaply and as dur
ably as possible, la sufficiently strong
so that the pigs cannot break It to

The accompanying illustrations
show the detailed plan of construc
tion. Lumber seven-eighths Inch
thick Is used ln constructing the
trough, with the exception of the
floor and ridge pole. The floor is
made from one-Inch stuff, while the
ridge pole can be made from a piece
of lumber two Inches square dressed.
The following bill of material Is
necessary to construct the weaning
trough:
One piece 1 inch by 1 foot by 12
feet for the floor and ends. The end
pieces can be dressed down to seven-

One piece seven-eighths by 4 Inches

ire eh toward dairy success.
Skim milk makes pork, veal and
poultry of a high grade.
There is practically no food quite
so generally wholesome as pure milk.
In planning a dairy barn, allow not
less than four square feet of light
space for each cow.
Try to have the cows calve in fall
rather than in spring. There are many
advantages in this.
Never trifle with a bull. Treat him
gently, but treat him firmly. Let him
have no doubt that you are his master.
Cows, while ln heat, should be kept
separate from the rest of the herd.
This will avoid disturbances.
The manure spreader has the double
advantage of paying for Itself In sav
ing of labor and insuring an even dis
tribution of manure on a field.
Overfeeding, lack of exercise, Impure
air, constipation and drinking cold
water are probably the most common
causes of milk fever.
DON'TS FOR THE HOG RAISER

' Keep Pigs Growing and Furnish
Clean, Dry Quarters.
Don't overfeed at farrowing time.
Don't fatten young pigs; keep them
growing.
Don't fail to have green forage for
growing pigs.
Don't have mud holes and stagnant

provide pure, clean drinking water.
Don't let floors, troughs or bedding
get filthy. Don t fail to dip to prevent
