Twelfth Shipment.
.Monday. -1st,- we sent our twelfth

21 boxes, the express amounting to
ill takes a lot of uennies to
pay ar. express bill like that.) There
were - articles in the shipment,
and one of the boxes contained three
hundred dressings of various kinds

articles were worthy ;n every respect
of N Hanover beautifully made
and carefully and exactly wrapped and
packed, inspected by Mrs. Tinga
wliose experience as a graduate nurse
in Boston is invaluable to the work.
Another item was-a great quantity
of si ru- and body binders from Sea

Many cf the pillows were made by the
Brooklyn T'mi and these ladies ar
range their articles according to the
ruies with so much care that we do
no- need to add anything to it. They
make t!m covers, card the cotton, stuff

will follow their fine example in this

that thPv had made the money to buy

pennies to our weekly gifts.

The Ladies'. Aid Society of , the Bap

ber were turned in. I
Mrs. W. M. Harker, president of the j
Auxiliary of the Wilmington Presby-i

an interesting meeting held at the
church on Monday afternoon.
The Sunbeam Society gave a very
creditable performance of the "Magic
Mirror," supplemented with musical
selections and recitations, at the
school auditorium on last Friday ev
ening. A fair sized audience was in
attendance, and a good sum realized.
The exercises were under the direc
tion of Miss Reba Meador, and . the
numbers of program were announc
ed by Master Tommie Gresham.
The Juniors had charge of the exer

The Red Cross chapter continues
steadily in with its work. On Tues-!

time was occupied in making band
ages. About 520.00 worth of material
was purchased. A rummage sale in
the chapter room intthe Hill building
was planned for Saturday. The chap
ter is exceedingly grateful to Mr. W.
N. Norris of the county for a donation
of $25 and to Mr. I. F. Blackmore
for a donation of money, and to Mr.
I. L. Brock of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company for the use of a ma

which renders the room comfortable

weather. A Christmas Membership

when it is hoped to secure a hundred
new members.

One of the most elaborate and en
joyable social events of the season
was the delightful reception given by
Mrs. Fitzhugh Wallace, at her home
on last Friday afternoon, to Mrs.
James Jarjrat, a recent bride.
The spacious home was attractive
ly decorated with a color scheme of
yellow and white, this being effected

gathers up the coppers. This week
she got 268 of which 5 had been col
lected and hidden by a few little,
freshmen (Evelyn' prdbably in the
bunch) and produced with great pride
to help swell the sum. Miss Aline
Brown surprised the Senior class by.
her unusual effort. She brought a
$5 bank in dime pieces, full of dimes
'Instead of snipping scraps," she ex
plained. "But where did you get it?"
asked the girls breathlessly. . "Just
asked for it," she said, "and everybody
vras willing to help me fill my bank."
This made nearly $8 from . the High
School this week, and was about one
fifth of the whole collection. Fine for
the High School, we make our best
bow but mighty, mighty, poor for the
town. You older people will have to
make more sacrifices and deny your
selves a whole lot if vou want to keep'

The Nation's Needs
Come First
Any patriotic American would glady stand
aside and give his place anywhere to an officer
on government duty.
The placing of the Bell telephone system at the
disposal of the government, as was done wherjr'
war broke put, involved the same patriotic obliga
tion;1 During the months of military preparedness,
the War anderNavy Departments had the- service .
of the most comprehensive and efficient telephone
system in the world. And it must be kept so. In
the face of the unprecedented demand from pri-'
vate sources, every government need niust and
will be met.
The government comes first but we; are do- . J
ing everything that science can suggest; and that
money can accomplish to maintain Mr general
Service at the usual standard of efficiency. A
loyal organization is working contim&usly to meet
the increased demands and your patient co-operation
will prove helpful and inspiring.
Telephone users can help b avoiding useless
conversation and by encouraging their employes
and associates to use the telephone only when
necessary during the busy fyours of the day, and
to make thir conversations brief.
With this patriotic attitude of the public to-,
ward us we can serve the government first and
render a service that will jtieet the requirements
of the commercial and social world.
