June 20. ?Home good prize* have been secured for the Corn Club contests for tin* season, which brings up the matter that all the boys should abide by the rules that they shall not be debarred from earning one of ^jie prizes should their corn yield turn out favorable. In ad dition to the prizes offered in the State-'ride contest, several of the county and district fairs have of fered attractive premiums, and many of the counties have secured prizes for the boys who win in the local contests. In awarding prizes the following points will be closely considered: Yield, 80; Profit, 80; Written His tory, 20; Tun ear Exhibit, 20; To tal. 100 points. Tills means that if a boy makes the finest yield in the State and lias not made an ex bihit at some fair of which there is a record, might make a boy who lias a lower yield of coro win out over him. If he fails to. write a history of crop, the same would be true, no matter bow high bis yield. It is well for the members to rrmmeber this matter and make an effort to comply with all the rules of the contest. > The following list of prizes has been offered to date: A gold medal for the best re cord in North Carolina, offered by tne Progressive farmer. A certificate of merit to all boys in tbe State who produce 100 bu soels or above, provided they com ply with all club regulations' This certificate is issued by the 'Jovern or of North Caroiiha. To all who complete the year's work and aetid in an acceptable re port in the daily record book, the Agricultural Extension Service will give one of the 4-H National Clubemblema. In each county the member making the best record will re ceive a certificate, a handsome and useful book, and the winners choice of a-boya or girls magazine; these to be given* by the Progressive Farmer. In many counties there are also special prizes offered by local citizens and concerns. . B. W. .Stone, nurseryman, of Thomasvllle. Ga., offer 24 pecan trees of threading varieties, to be distributed in eastern North Car olina only. T. W. Wood & Sons seed men. of Richmond. Va., offer a silver cup for the best ten ear exhibit at the State Fair. Continental Plant Company, of Kittrell. N. C. offer 200 Never stop strawberry plan^, 12 Neva Myss peach trees, and 2,000 plants of standard varieties of strawberry to the members of the Corn Club in the six States in its territory. Forty-seven or more valuable prizes are also offered through the Progressive Farmer by various in dividuals and business houses who have records in order, provided some member of the family is a regular subscriber to the paper. In each of the following Con gressional districts a prize of a scholarship, valued at $45. for one year's tuition to the Agricultural and Mechanical College, is offered by the respective Congressman.

"To abolish secrecy in medi cine,'' says the State Board of Health, "is one the things we are coining to. Live stock and grow ing plants in several states have already been given that protection but live men and women and growing children are yet to be considered. The laws of Nebras ka, South Dakota and Oregon, for instance, require that evey remedy sold for the treatment of live stock shall have on its label the name of each active ingredient contained in it, and even North Carolina protects her plants. "Years ago she decided that it was unsafe for farmers to use fer tilizer, which are medicines and foods for plgnts, when they didn't know whether they were poison ing their plants or helping them. So a law was passed requiring the manufacturer to put the contents of the fertilizer on the sack that the farmer might know whether he was killing or curing, "Both of tuese are good laws." says the Board. "They have pro tected many pigs, sheep and cows and saved many acres of corn, cot ton and wheat. But it is a curious ? thing that a farmer shall know when he is poisoning bis pigs or killing his cotton but shall not know when he is pouring p&iaon down his baby's throat or down bis own throat, as for that mattei. There's not an euforccd law in the United .States today that wilt give the public knowledge of what is in the remedies that are sold for self medication. What is stranger still, every attempt that has been made to pass or enforce such a law has met with overwhelming oppes tion. Even a cave man would know that some thing is wrong with such a state of affairs." Ahoskie Township Road Supervisors Hold Meeting At the June meeting of the Cooim:twioner8of Hertford County Messrs. R. A. Holioman, W. T. Holloman.and W- H. Miller were appointed as Road Supervisors for Ahoskie Township. Immediately after the notification of their ap pointment by Mr. ?. J. Gerock, the newly appointed Board met and elected the following officers: W. H. Miller, Chairman; R. A, Holioman, Secretary. At this meeting it was decided that monthly meeting would be held on the first Saturday after the first Monday in each month. The past months business will be checked up at these meetings, and the condition of the roads discuss ed and plans for the coming month laid. They bare devised a system of bookkeeping that will show the (itemized statement of the income of the month. These reports will be tacked up at somi public place at the end of each month for the uei - usal of those who would like to know how their money is being spent. The business of these meet ings will be open and they invite the inspection of the taxpayers. Needless to say, a wiser selec tion coujld not have made by our township commissioner, Mr. E, J. Gerock. Thq personnel of this Board reveals the fact that all of the*e men are of the progressive spirit, and they are practical farm ers, who can at all times keep in touch with the condition of the roads. We cougratulate our peo ple? our selves included?on hav ing such a Board, and we are con fident that our roads will continue to improve, and that the road fund will be expended wisely and judic iously. And to the retiring Board be it said that they have done more to improve the public-highway in our township than any board that ever preceded it?and the present system lias demoetrated its super iorly over all other methods prac ticed in our country. Mil MASONIC PIG we IIJIUKH ?K To Be Held on Thursday. July 27? Prites to be Given Away to Church Choira. The annual Ma<>o;iic Picnic will be held at Stoney Creek in Hert ford County on Thursday, July 27th, 1916, A good speaker has accepted the committe's invitation to speak for the public, A good band will furnish excellent music. Harmless refreshments will be served. Good order wili be main tained and the duty of keeping (food order has been entrusted to a special committee appointed fur that purpose from the various Lodge. A unique feature of the day will be a contest between va rios Cburcb choirs for gold prizes offered by the committee, in sums of $12.50 for the first prize, $7.50 for the second prize and $5.00 for the third prize. All choirs must be limited to twelve persons Snd the committee asks that any choir proposing to participate in this contest will please notify the un dersigned as early as possible. The usual railroad excursions will be run. I am directed by the committee to give the public thia early notice of the day so they will have it in mind and not make con flicting engagements. The .Stoney Creek Picnic has become a fixed affair in the social life of the peo ple in several counties of this sec tion and the committee in charge of the day have deeided to make this, the 13th annual picnic, the best .vet and ti this end we ask tire co-operat'on|(>f the public. As is well known the net proceeds of this annual picnic go to that great Institution at Oxford, our Orphan Asylum. Our annual contribu tions to this cause are considerable and the management of the Insti tution have come to base their budget of expenses somewhat upon receipts from this picnic. It is the aim of the committee to make the net receipts this year exceed those of last year. Francis D. Winston, Chairman.

Shaw and daughter, Miss Lillian Show, spent Monday HUH I It | III INTERESTING AND HUMOROUS Dr. Edwin Hall, Platform Locturar Delivers two of His Selec tions on last Sunday and Monday Before large Audience Dr. Edwin' Hall, of national fame as a platform lecturer and humorist, delighted the iieople of Aiioskie On Sunday and Monday nights of this week with two of his famous lectures. Although very short notice was given of his Sunday night lecture, a full house heard him at the Baptist Church. !>r. Hall gave his lecture on Moot His Origin, Nature and Destiny" on Sunday evening. The manner in which he held the perfect at tention of his hearers was an indi cation of the forcefulness of bis great thought and convincing weight of his words, so well spok en. In making his -first point, the speaker put himself on record as being opposed to ths idea that bis grand parents or any of his ances tors were bebboons and monkeys "God born and Glory Crowned" was the words in whic h he describ ed the origin of man. Darwinism held no truth for him, and he was free to assert that he resented any such reference to his ancestry. In picturing the nature of man, Dr. Hall heaped upon liquor, nar cotics. and other such dopes and alcholics many unkind cuts. He also took a whack at the liquor traffic "via suit cases from Nor folk." And he might have added by way of automobile. The final desti ny of man is gov erned aitogetlier by the action of man himself during his lifetime, were the words of Dr. Hall. l)r. Hall further said, man's body? physical body?at death returned to the dust again; but, bis spirit, which is of divine origin and a gift of God himself, lives on till the final judgement. The lecture was brougnt to a close by an ex hortation to. the young man, and the young woman to live such a life that they may live forever hereafter with God, their caeator and after whose image they fash ioned On Mobay night, a small admis sion was charged?15 and 20 cents; babies $5.00?and his lecture was given at Newsome's Hall under tha auspices of the Baptist Sunday School. Numerous humorous, sidesplitting and pathotic selections were given; and the hilarious up roar that gave way to a more ser ious mood was in many cases tak en up again hardly before the stray tears, had been dried away. It was an appreciative audience that listened to theae selective, and every number was worthy of all the appreciation that it receiv ed. Dr. Hall, although1 advanced in age. still retains all those qualities that have served to make him one of the foremost lecturers of the nation. He always pleases and delights those who bear him, and as the late lamented Piofessor Carlyle, of Wake Forest College, once remarked. Dr. Hall is the foremost lecturer on the Amer ican platform. in Norfolk shopping. Miss Mary Bridger and Robert Bridger are visiting relatives in Kinston. Misses Leone Hines and Hilda Turrentine, who have been visit ing Mrs. R. C. Bridger, returned to their homes in Kinston last Saturday. Mr. W. Doone and bis mother, Mrs. J. W. Boone, are visiting Mis. Walter Wilkins in Norfolk. Messrs. John C. Carter, C. F. Mitchell, and Judge Cowper are confined to their homes on account of sickness. : East Carolina Teachers Training School ^ A State school to train teachers for the public schools J of North Carolina.
