When ( the Citizens Bank deaid'd to start a Christmas Savings Club, an order for 300.cards for members was made. The plan has bjcn so favorably received that all the 3UO have all been taken and thj names of a goodly number besides hive have been enrolled, and hence the necessity of ordering more to s-ifc f>ly the demand. The second ordrr s for 200 and it seems tlv?se will be exhausted in a lew days. A calculation shows that if all shall be taken and fully paid up; there will be the handsome sum of about $13,000 distributed by the Citi zens Bank between the 10th ana lftth of next December. This plan of saving the pennies and nickles illustrates what mar velous things can be accomplished by little and systematic savings. Everybody should encourngs thesa little savings—the town and com munity builders. The idea has gotten Into tbo minds of some that a failure to keep up the payments forfeits thy payments already made. Not a word of trkth in it. You get your money back be it ever so small, but you do not zot* it until the distri bution period comes next Dtci-m --bez, Summerbell Lectures at Elon College.

MINORCAS GOOD EGG LAYERS Rose Comb Variety Especially Adapted to Cold Climates—Good Word for Rhode Island Red. The Hamburgs and Spanish are not so popular now as they were several years ago. Probably because they are very small and lay small eggs. The Leghorns are small, also, but as a rule their eggs are of average size. They ] possess a number of other good quali ties not found In other fowls of their class. This, however, applies more particu larly to the Brown Leghorn, which we think is superior In every respect to the white variety. Opinions differ, however. The Mlnorcas lay large white eggs. Their eggs are larger than those of any other variety of chickens, and both the Rose Comb and Single Comb Black Minorca are excellent winter layers. The Rose Comb variety are especially well adapted to cold cli mates. .. A rose comb or small compact comb will not freeze so readily as one that IB thin and high. Keep this In mind. As a rule, farm people prefer to raise chickens for both eggs and meat. Then let us speak a good word for the Rhode Island Red. They are the farmer's fowl par ex cellence. Good layers and good for table use, also. Therefore, the Rhode Island Red la the Ideal general pur . pose bird. We have never raised very many Rhode Island Reds (a few this year for the first), but some of our neighbors will keep no other kind. Don't hesitate to try the Rhode Island Red. We have kept the Cuff Orpingtons and Brown Leghorns for several'years. The Orolneton Is a fine, large fowl. The heps are good setters and about as good layers as any of the larger varieties. We have a fln» flock of Leghorns this year, and V few Orpingtons, but none of either for sale. During the past two years we have been experi menting a little, and have been very successful. The experiment was also a matter of convenience. The two flocks were turned out to gether, and the result was a lot of mixed chickens. Of course, they did not look so nice but we are very well satisfied with the cross.' For best results, however, we be lieve one cross Is enough. Some peo ple say that chickens will do better when they are "all mixed up." But after a while they are apt to resemble • flock of "scrubs." Then where Is the advantage? Our Leghorn-Orpington* are some what similar to the Rhode Island Reds, larger than the Leghorns; more active and better layers than the Or pingtons. There is a great deal of confusion among beginners In rsgard to different varieties of chickens with similar plumage. for instance, the Buff Orpington la often mistaken for the Buff Plymouth Rock, and vice versa. By the way, the Buff Plymouth Rock ia a very good general purpose chicken, superior, w« think, to the Barred Rocka, Orping tons or Langshans. We have kept all these and a number of others. vSend for poultry catalogues. They Bake very good reading. Oet posted.

The white man's tuberculosis problem in North Carolina is l.ti from hopeless, Statistic* in 1913 show that in North Carolina towns the white death rate was lu3 per 100, COO population or only about 20 higher 'than tlie white death rate ini lie registration acta oi the tint ed States. Much satisfaction is also lull in the fact that our walte tubercu losis death rate is decreasing. In 1911s it was abdut ISO per 100,010 as against 108 in 1013. Another sig nilicant fact is that those towns in North Carolina that have re ally made tome serious effort to combat the white plague among He white people are rewarded. Note Greensboro with a white death rate of 226 in 1914, 277 in 1912 and 105 in 1913. Iln Winston- Salem where anti-tuberculosis work has also been done, while the death rate has varied and ap parently increased in 1913, it is still not only lower Hun the nv-l erage in Notth Carolina, but al'io lower than in the United Mattes. The thing that makes the white man's hope paiticularlv roseate h is not only the fact tiiat his rlejtn valerate from tuberculosis L bill j little higher than the at ar ;■ the nitc-fl States, an di* deci. asing? but this decrease is beiiig ro.'tl • dci.pite the trem'-ndous itfoeivul h Infoct.ion —of the—negro.—lu—Nn Carolina the negro's tuberculoids death rati- which is also decreasing, is still over 100 par cont, greater than the white man's. From the figures just compiled It appears thai there are fir about 2,GuO white deaths mid about 92,900 colored deaths from tubwu losis in North Carolim every year. This is a tremendous' economic loss to th'? State and it will doubt less be the.'policy of th • legisla ture to try to handle th? white problem first, in an intensive mm , ner, ana as sooii as the white prob lem is well under control, which should be in a , comparative! v few years, serious attention will be givent o the colored problem. With the present equipment of i 90 beds at the Slate San tt'irlum, and a possible capacity of 125 beds with minor repairs, an additional , 50 beds would give » capacity of , 475 beds by the end of the next six years. Assuming an average ' of six months' trcatnent this would ■ mean a capacity of about 950 pa-4 - Dents a year at that time, and In i the meantime this sanatorium i treatment and educational work I combined would have doubtless so reduced the present death rate from this disease as to make the ' fight a winning one. Then when we get the White I ttaian's tuberculosis death rate and [ Infection rate down to fßlr propor t tions we will be able to turn more L sad more attention to the ne*ro. I aad possibly more and more of the sanatorium over to him until ulti mately, tuberculosis may become like yellow fever, a disease wtth little more than a history.

BEAUTY OF WELL KEPT LAWN Care Taken of Land Burroundlng the : Horns Adds Much to Arractlve nass of Town. At various times In connection with the newspaper reports of the meetings of citizens' associations the subject of well kept lawns and attractive flower beds has been touched on, and In & number of Instances citizens' as sociations have agreed to continue the practise previously found • effec tive of giving awards for lawna and flower growths of distinguished merit. Many of the urban and suburban neighborhoods of the district ere the handsomer, happier and more valuable because of the care given to the land In front or at the rear or on the grass sides of the home. A well kept grass plot or a carefully tended flower gar den tells all tho world which passes that way that somebody lives there, that there Is homo life there and that order and content reigns wtlhln. In most cases the condition of the yard or "grounds" can be and will be taken as an Index of the house keeping system that is followed In side. or the lawn tended with care gives a proper touch to the homo and applied to contiguous homes makes the neighborhood bet ter. The climate of Washington Is encouraging to fine gardens and every body who lives In a bouse has time enough to care for one. The lawn-! mower, tho Vake and the spade are tine Implements of physical culture, j The security of private lawns and | flower beds Is greater than It ever | was. Publlo opinion has boon so: Improved and educated In this mat-1 ter that complaints of marauding are : rare, whereas not many years ago I they were frequent. This Is shown by reforence to an editorial in the Star, May 27, 1876. which In part fol lows: "There la probably no place In the country where more Is done by Its Inhabitants to beautify tbelr homes by the cultivation of flowers, shrub bery, etc., than by the citizens of Waablngton. Nor Is there a place where such efforts are more success ful considering tho discouragements and drawbacks under which tbey are made. We refer more especially to tho pulling of flowers, the destruc tion of shrubbery and tbe theft of rare plants from private grounds.
