I Kill Of . llJUli LPIBECT APPEAL TO JOB 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; III abort, EVERYBODY, old and young, rich and poor, learned i HERTfORO MY 1? mm me[[ihm ? The first meeting of the teach' ers and school officers for the present year will he in the court Itouse ?t Wtntdfi ou "Friday, the 3rd of November, beginning at 10 o'clock. > We want to miike this year the best in the history of the schools of Hertford County; and to that end, this meeting is called for the purpose of makiog plans to make the schools just as efficient as poe |sible. All the white teachers and school offiicere-members of the feoard of Education, trustees of trraded schools, committeemen, at* tendunce officers, are expected to to be present and to give this one day to planning for the better ment of the schools of our county. All schools that have already start ed may be closed for that day so that the teachers may attend this meeting. Prof. L. C. Brodgen, of the State Department of Education, is expected to be present and ad dress the meeting. He is % man fully abreast of the times in edu cational matters. Topics for discussion. 1. What definite qualifications and what definite things have you a right, as a school committeeman, to exoect of the teacher in your district this session* 2. Along what definite lines has the teacher in your district a rirrKf In nwnan* ?An? ?"* ? ?*"" v*^v? jwui nunc w" operation as a school committee man? 3. What defin ite benefits have been gained for the children, of your district, as well as the com munity at large, through the vot ing of local Ux? 4. What definite benefits have been gained for the children of your district, as well as communi ty at large, through the consolida tion of the one-teacher school in to a school with two Or more tea chers? 5. Along what definate lines can you, as a school officer, labor to improve the educational oppor tunities and advantages of the children of your district, as well as your county at large? N. W. Britton, Supt. 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. M. L. Sliioman. James R. Young. (light C, Moore. Publicity Committee. Rs.eigh, N. C, 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. .
