The North Carolina Orphan Asso
ciation A|ain A ska Every Nan,
Woman and Child to Contribute
at Least One Day's Income to the
Orphanage of his Choice?An Ap
peal to Everybody.
I The North Carolina Orphan As
sociation again calls upon every
man, woman and chi'.d in the Slhte
to contribute on or near Thanks
giving Day at least one day's in
come ito the orphanage of bia or
her choice.
A year ago this issued for the
first time. The response was
gratifying, not only because of
the unprecedented gifts made -to
the various Orphanages, but also
because it revealed the tender and
practical sympathy which "our
people feel towards the thousands
of our fatherless children. We
anticipate that the gifts of this
year will be much in advance of
those in 1915.
The cry of the drphan?who can
hear it unmovedt And whose
heart does not thrill with joy at
the thought of the dozen or fifteen
Orphanages in North Carolina
housing many hundred of depen
dent phildren and training them
into individual efficiency and good,
citizenabipl Yet every one of
these institutions needs better
equipmeut and larger support,
and every one of tbem is beseiged
ay applicants for admission which
must be denied for lack of means.
And, as a matter of fact, in this
good State of ours there are liter
ally thousands of orphan children,
dependent and deserving, who
must be handicapped for life be
cause in their tender years they
cannot have the sheltering care
and culture of an orphans' home.
In order that more adequate
equipment and support may be pro
vided, the "One-Day-For-The-Or
phans" Movement was started
calling upon all our people to add
to the stream of regular contribu
tions a special Thanksgiving offer
ing equal to a day's income. This
is ?, reasonable request, fur any
one can share with the orphans
the earnings of one day out of
three hundred and sixty-five. It
is practicable, for rich and poor
alike can participate in it. It en
lists our people of all creeds and
classes in beautiful co-ooeration
for the support of a needed civic
and Christian philanthropy.
While it deposits a hansomf ag
gregate in the Orphanage treas
uries, it also deepens and enriches
the life qf our peorle. It is a
prime investment for both chnrcli
and State, first saving frctn de
.a. ?i,;i
gouoriivv MIC UJU9V CA |#U9vu villi
dren in the woild, and then train
ing them for usefulness in both
the Commonwealth and the King
dam. Who of ua in the joyous
Thanksgiving season can refuse to
lend the helping hand?
We, therefore, make our ap- <
peal to? ;
The prince uf business to give
out of his abundance the actual
or estimated income of a day;
The iand lord and money lender
to give one day's rent of bis
houses and lands, or one day's in
terest on his money;
The professional man to give
one day's earnings, specifying the
day or taking the average da.v;
The salaried worker to give his
or her salary for a day;
The laborer with only nick-up
jobs to devote some specitl day to
this cause;
The good housewife with her
ingenuity and devotion to set apart
the work of a day;
The boys and girl* with no reg
ular income to get a jpb after
school hours or on some Saturday
add give the proceed to the Or
phans;

and illiterate, to join in this holy
movement and thus to" visit the
fatherless in their affliction."
To this end we call upon the
editors of our papers, daily and
weekly, secular and religious, to
give the widest possible publicity
to this movement which is philan
thropic in purpose and state-wide
in extent; we call upon all church
leaders of all denominations, in
cluding pastors. Sunday-school
superintendents, women's workers,
and others of influence, to urge in
their respective Orphanages; we
call upon the officers of the va
rious orders to bring this move
ment to the attention of each man
in their membership and enlist
him in this extra offering; we call
upon teacher*, doctor*, lawyer*,
merchants, manufacturers, and all
others with local following and in
fluence to induce their friends to
unite with tbem in giving at next
Thanksgiving a day's work or
wages to the neeU.v Orphans of
North Carolina. %
Here, then, is our appeal: Make
your offering on or about
Thanks giviug Day. Make it on
the basis of your earning capacity
for a single day?more, if you
will; leas, if you can do no better.
Make it through your church, or
lodge, or individually Make it
to the Oaphanage of your choice.
Make it, remembeting that thous
ands of others are with you in
this movement. Make it, if you
will, with the prayer that our or
phan children may be led into the
larger life here and the life eternal
hereafter. And may this concert
ed philanthropy for the fatherless
help toward making next Thanks
giving Day the ?l\de*t and best
ever observed in North Carolina.

HEAVY SHORTAGE IH PBO
! bUCTIHH OFJll CROPS
Tlie farm crops of the country,
i based on the Department of Agri
, culture's October report, show a
i decline of over 1,UO,0(K^)00 bush
, ela of grain, 68,000,000 bushels
of potatoes, 26,000,000 bushels of
peaches and 10,000,000 barrels of
i apples. /.
The wheat crop ia the smallest
i since 1904, though our population
i has grows approximately 20,000,
000 since then, and Europe is still
esgerly buying lu competition
with b<>me consumers.
Not many years ago we import
ed a few cargoes of Argentine
corn, but now, Aie first time, we
are loosing to that country for
wheat, and a cargo is now on the
way to this country.
, With a decrease of over 40C,
000,000 bushels of wheat, 337.
000,000 bushels of corn, 311,000,
000 bushels of oats and 63,000,000
bushels of potatoes, exorbitant
prices for fqpdstuffs are absolutely
certain, as there hs no nower in
uovernmont to cnange tii-s effect
of the law of supply and demand.
We also have a'very short cot
ton crop, and tbe certainty that
prices for that staple must average
higher than for many years, and
brine to tbe South for this crop,
seed included, probably not less
than 1,200,000.000.
High prides for labor and a
steady tendency to shorten hours,
aided and abated by the President
and Congress, have already had
the affect of making it unusually
difficult in all parts of the country
to secure farm labor for tbe com
ing crop season, and .vet, unless
larger acreage is put in grain and
cotton for next year, we shall have
famine conditions, even if nature
should prove more helpful than
this vear.
Before another crop season the
oonntry will be practically swept
bare of wheat and corn and cot
ton, and prices will go far higher
than now unless there is an assur
ance, by a greatly increased acre
age, of a larget yield.
In the South it is especially im
portant that every possible effort
shall be made to increase the acre
age in foodstuffs, or otherwise
high prices of cotton will be offset
by tbe enormous sums this section
will- have to pay for grain and
meats.
It is useless for us to rail against
these condition, however hard may
be these high prices all consumers.
Nature never before, we believe,
made such wide-sweeping losses
in all crops and in all sections of
our country as this year. We
cannot successfully war against
nature when she withholds her
rains or favors too much, as was
the case in different sections this
year. We can only hope for bet
ter things pext year, in order to
overcome tbe shortage in crops
this year. Duty to national wel
fare and to avoid famine condi
tions next year demands that every
business and govermental influence
available should be put forth to
bring about an increase in acreage
for foodstuffs tjiis fall and next
spring,?Manufacturers Record. .
