Itey for Schools. | The State Board of Education has ap)>ortioned the school «■ .ualizing fund for the State, distributing $4M,5'50.1- r > with which to project the school term to an averave of 1«» U.:» days, .he money allotted the several .unties in the State conies from what is known as the State r riali/.ing fund. It was provid ed for by the tieneral As sembly and raised by a o-cent ievv on each SIOO valvation and ?et aside from the State tax levy. The term of 10()..'» days lacks three and one-tenth davs of equalling the term of last year which went lo:{.:j days, which the Raleigh correspondent of the Rreensboro News says is due to the fact that "salaries of teachers have been raised and the compulsory school law has i placed so many additional child ren in the schools that a larger number of teachers had to be employed. And while the term has been shortened by a half week, the number of children put in the schools runs into many thou sands," Tetter, Salt Rheum and Eczema Are cured bv ChamlKTlnin'* Salve.

"We have invented machinery for making the cans and manu facturing this year equal to the -ST m ». t hin appropriation for advertising in newspapers and maga/.ines. "The weighing machines have greae hoppers for receiving the tobacco. The machine weighs it, wraps it, puts it in the can, seals the can all without the human hand touching the tobac- CO. "We used to have trouble with foreign particles—even cartridges in the tobacco. Now any foreign particle in the hopper will cause a bell to ring and the machinery stops, there by preventing any foreign sub stance from getting into the to bacco."

Oirnon. i "What is the matter with the | United States ?" As I have been residing in; London since the beginning of I the war, I have been hearing; this question asked on all sides, j I have never heard any satisfac- j tory answer. No one seems to i know. Why are the American fac tories not running night and | day? Why are railroads not open ing up new territories and get ting ready for millions of im migrants who have already made. up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war is over. Why are there not 50 Ameri can drummers in London right now, trying to sell $200,000,((00 worth of American goods in place of gopds that were bought last year from Germany and Austria. Whv have advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their advertisements were most needed and most etfective in cheering on the business forces of the United States ? From the European point of view, the United States is a haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles ; that it dare to mention to Bel gium or Austria or France or Germany or Servia or Great Britain or Russia. Every tenth Briton has enlist ed. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Bel gian is dead. What does the Unijed States know ol trouble? i If 'jJ could atford it 1 would charter theMauretani and Louisi-1 tana and convey a party of] 5.000 American advertisers to Europe for a trio of education j I would give them a week in | London, a week in Paris, and a week in Antwerp. I would let them look at the; United States from the scene of I war. I would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, ten at a time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and dying. I would let them hear, from fragmentary survivors, the in credible story of battlefields 150] miles wide, and armies that are! greater than the entire popula tion of Texas. i I would let them see graves] 100 yards long and full, and: Belgium, the country that was.

C. nothing now but 12.t M HJ square miles of wreckage. Then when they began to un derstand. to some slight extent, the magnitude and awfulness of this war, I would say to them: ' 'Now, go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your opportunities. Don't start dig ging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glori ous chance you have ever had in your life. "Go back and advertise. iet ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. (Jo ahead and thank God that you are alive and that your family is alive and that you are living in a land that is at peace, at a time when nearly the whole world is at war."
