The sale of Red Cross seals is on all over the country, and North Carolina is making an ef fort to push the sales as never before. Dr. L. B. Mcßrayer, Exe cutive Secretary, states that re ports of sales are great; towns never before taking them are in the drive. The Woman's Club of Raleigh has sent in an order for 300,000 and may need more. Many other towns are following closely, and North Carolina will buy as never before. It is well known that the money for these stamps is used to combat the freaded scourge of tuberculosis, which menaces the life of the people. Every time you buy a dollar's worth of stamps, you help some sufferer in the struggle for better health. Every baainess firm should use one on every letter and package ! nowonontil the Chistmas holi days are over. They • are attrac , tive this year, more so than usual. One on your letter indi -1 cafces that you are helping others. Don't be a slacker in .this great crusade against tuberculosis. "Mrs'. J. H.

Monday ijnorning, Harry and Proctor Jones, the young sons of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jones, who live on the Hamilton Road three miles from Williamston, left home ear ly to visit their rabbit boxes, taking with them a bullet rifle. Proctor said that he went to ihoot a bird, and, perhaps, was a bad marksman and the bullet entered the leg of Harry below the knee. Dr. Rhodes wa3 called I but failed to locate the bullet. The bovs refused to tell the whole circumstances surrounding the accident. . This is another case of a rifle and young boys not being good companions; too many boys are allowed to carry guns and rifles these days. Every day accidents are happening and some mother's heart bleeds because her child is either injured or killed.

Dear Mr. Hassell: It Rives me great deal of plea sure to learn, th-ough our De partment of Agriculture, that vour county is co operating in the tick eradication movement. I wish to see in a few years our Eastern counties come to their o-vn in the raising of more and better cattle, but, first, we must exterminate the cattle tick as our sixty-eight sister counties have done, and so doing Eastern North Carolina will produce its share of beef to feed our soldiers at the front.
