En ad as laoond-class matter Feb
ruary 26th, 1910, at the poat office at
Ahoslcie, N. C., under the Act of
March 3rd, 1878. '*
I
Ahoskie women hpve long since
demonstrated what they can do for
the sake of their boys who are fight;
ing in this war, and today the live
est war o/ganization within the
bounds of Ahoskie is the Red Cross
Chapter. They started <off doing
things and they are gradually, as
well as rapidlv, showing that they
are in to stick. We are now in the
midst of anether great Jrive for the
Bed Croea organization all over the
United States, and a* heretofore the
campaign is expected to culminate
in an oversubscription. In the be
ginning our people'should realize
that they should give until it hurts
in this campaign as they must do in
all conducted with a view towards
releiving the boys who are in the
trenches and in the camps and for
the multitude of boys that are soon
to be traveling toward the various
camps to replace those who are now
there, but who will be sent hurried
ly to France.
The Editor of this paper, writing
in a naval office and wearing a Sail
ors suit, sees "by the papers" that
every Class One man in Hertford
CountyWill' be moving to camp be
i f6re the end Jof this month. This,
of course, include* the "other half"
of the Herald. * Mr. James Vinson,
erstwhile Manager and joint owner
of the Herald, will leave Wednes
day for Camp Jackson. Thus and
[.therefore, another situation has
arisen, which has already been met.
The Herald will continue to reach
the homes of Hertford County folks
and we hope its standard will be re
, tained. Folks, we are coming back,
when the Kaiser is licked; and, then
we shall be in shape to give you a
real newspaper, with the Editor
continuing his series of articles.
The Manager will be expected to vie
with Guy Empjr, in reciting the ex
perience in the trenhes and the
feeling that inhabits ones body when
he goes over the top. --- -- ??

t ..THE LIFE OF A SAILOR
?' (By J. Roy Parker)
jtev':., i t "srt4 rMff*- jl
As 'time passess the writer g >es
about his regular routine of duties
that are daily assigned to him, and,
at that, he is but a very small part
of an infiitesmal cog that works to
gether for efficiency in the Navy.
Efficiency is the watchword in every
work that is undertaken and every
aailor knows what he is expected to
do and what he must ,d? every day
to strengthen and build up an even
greater fighting force on ?aa. Our
people and the people of North Car
. ol '.na should take even greater pride
jin thl wonderful record our navy
has made in the put few year?, if
for nothing more, sorely jve should
when we stop to think that a North
Carolinian is the commander of the
entire naval force?Hon. Joeephu*
Daniels.

and the _foree that daily "grinda"
in this office had more than their
usual amount of work to do. Early
packed up their bags, jum fuH ol
"long green" and sallied forth to
TK?r pay offices that are scattered
over thrffaUjida 'Mi dt the morn
ing and a part of the afternoon waa
?pent in dishing out the feash. And,
it waa a great day for the sailon
who were fortunate enoagh to get i
?hare in this "pot" of money. To
night and for *a few more aAccea
sive nights Norfolk, Ocean View
and other nearby cities and reeorti
will draw'heavily on the P*J> roll
that was dished out today, for to
night there are but' ffew sailors in
that are not taking "liberty,""1!!
tjiey can get it, and the dress blue
is more in evidence than on th?
previous eveningafcfter woA' hoars.
One of the moat pieaatag feature*
of the camp - life is the entertain
ment that is daily furnished to th?
boys. Every night ih the week
there is one or more high class
going on within the baae, and to th?
man the Navy "gob" it ia all free.
Moving pictures come about twict
a week and on other nights of th?
week there are speakings, musical
entertainments, both instrumental
and vocal, and by some of the moet
noted artista of the day. On Sun
day morning divine exercises arc
held within the main building and
at each of these meetings good mu
sic is one of the attractive features.
Each day. between the hours ol
twelve and one" o'clock the Navy
Base orchestra furnishes music ol
the brand known only to the larger
town* and citiea. The Baae Orches
tra is composed of aorae of the very
best musicians to be found in thia
country, its members being selected
from among many former symphony
orchestras.
