Beginning Saturday February 1, a cam paign of relief is being waged in the county under the direction of R. C. Eggers as chairman of the drive. The campaign will run for three weeks. It is not a war fund that the people of this country are being asked to raise. It is only an act for humanity's sake. Nearly 300,000 naked, starving boys and girls are weeping and wailing for a chance to live. They arehome- less and parentles&i They are suffering because their parents were murdered and their conv forts of harae destroyed yes, al because the Armenians would not discard their Christian faith for that of the cruel andbarbar ous Turks. Undes the leadership of State Chairman George H. . Bellany, North Carolina will conduct its campaign for the adoption of 3334 orphans in the Near East. $60.00 will provide for one orphan for one year. Practically every coun ty in the state has been systemat ically organized for the campaign and indications point to a success ful drive in every county. Some have already raised their quotas. The Influenza Ger.Ti Dr. Earl C. Carr, senior grade ieutenant in charge of the main nboratory at the Great Lakes, Illinois, naval training station, announces that he has isoiatea the influenza germ. "It is the real iniluenza bacillus discovered by Pfefler in England," Dr. Can said. "I took the sputum from a person near death with influen za, washed it in a salt solution, plated it on blood media, picked out the influenza bacillus colo nies and transferred them to a semrate media. There can be no doubt about it. The bacillus is very small about one fourth the size of the tuberculosis bacillus it is non motile and grows in clumps. The presence of this bacillus makes people just as sick as they were last year, and in my opinion the death rate per thousand cases is as high. There are not, however, as many cases as there were last Republican County Convention Call. A convention of the Republi cans of Watauga county is called to meet in Boone, N.
