CHILDREN’S DAY
The Methodist Episcopal Church, of this
town, was taxed to its seating capacity
last Sunday night to hear the children
celebrate Children’s Day. The program
was an excellent one and was rendered
superbly by the Sunday School scholars.
The church was profusely decorated with
flowers. Much credit is due to those that
trained the children for the occasion. Pro

EUREKA COMMUNITY CLUB
A special meeting of the Eureka Com

Thursday of last week and was well at
tended. The president called the meeting
to order and made a few brief remarks.
The Community Fair was the leading
topic for discuss'on and Miss Bertha Prof
fitt, home demonstration agent, made an
excellent address, followed by several
members. It was decided by all present
to have one of the best Community Fairs
in Moore county.
The chairman of the different depart
ments were then announced.
The subject of marketing was brought
before the club and thoroughly discussed
by several members, and the subject of

BRING HIM BACK
For the love of all that is sensible
let’s have Grover Bergdoll, rich draft
dodger, back from Germany. Not
that we want him as a citizen of Vass,
not in a thousand years. For if Gro
ver ever happens to settle himself in
this community we wouldn’t give
fifteen cents for his hide and tallow
two hours after he hung up his hat.
But let’s get him back in the United
States that we may show others who
ducked when Uncle Sam called for aid
that no matter how much money a
man may have, he isn’t too good or
too great to peal off his coat and pitch
in when there’s trouble ahead. Let’s
show the world that there’s something
more highly prized than money—and
that’s patriotism and true manhood.
Let’s make an example of this rich
and pampered do-nothing who Has
tried to make Uncle Sam look foolish.
If the war was still in progres, the
firing squad would be his just de
serts. But if there are a few faint
hearts who oppose this method, then
let’s bring him back, stick him in a
Federal prison for the balance of his
life and forget to worry when the
guard overlooks prison etiqueete and
uses his foot on him.
WHERE THE LAUGH COMES IN
By Namlig
Been There
I feel like I’ve lost all ambition,
All mirth seems to have gone from
me to,
I feel like the very darnation,
And I scarcely know what too do.
I’ll tell you the trouble, “kind reader,”
I’m just getting over the “Flu.”
Suits Him
Old “Tightwad” who has three
daughters seems pleased to find that
women are apparently losing the habit
of wearing clothes.
Takes the Cake
The other day a wagon in an ad
joining county broke down suddenly,
among its load was a bag of flour, a
bag of sugar, a crate of eggs and a
firkin of butter, the result of the mix-
up was as fine a cake as ever graced
the table at a wedding breakfast.
Some Information
No ! Clarissa, the display of calves
at a fashionable gathering has no
connection whatever with a ‘‘Back-To-
The-Land” movement, and can in no
wise be considered as an agricultural
exhibition.
METHODISTS AIM TO
RAISE MILLIONS
In the course of an address delivered
recently in North Carolina, Hon. Josephus
Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy
said;
“Today Southern Methodists from Texas
to Maryland are engaged in an organized
movement to raise millions to provide for
the teeming members seeking education
in Methodist schools and c611eges and uni
versities for both men and women. Two
years ago the Methodists of America, the
largest Protestant church in America,
raised $135,000,000 for carrying the gospel
to those who sit in the darkness, for church
extension. They have now girded their
loins for a campaign to raise theu- educa
tion institutions to financial stability and
independence, to strengthen faculties, to
add new buildings to accommodate the
thousands who are knocking in vain for
admission, but cannot be accommodated
for lack of schoolrooms, dormitories, teach
ers and laboratories. We live in a day of
specialization and colleges must provide
the facilities and apparatus for ambitious
youths, or they fail of their duty and their
opportunity. Tbe states are generously
and wisely increasing appropriations for
enlargements. Nearly every great college
in America has been blessed and strength
ened by large increase in its endowment
during the past few years. Are Methodist
institutions to lack the best in equipment,
in teaching, in facilities ?
You can’t get ’em to confess it, but
it’s easier for some Vass boys to make
love than it is to make a living.
