Washington Dispat-di to (iroens boro News. It is generally conceded hero by Republican leaders that the Democrats will have control iu the next House by a narrow mar gin, and that they will be able to organize with the assistance of the Progressives and Prohibition and Socialist members. Many of the Republican* from tho Western States which went for Wilson this fall will refuse to support Jim Maun of Illinois for Speaker, or any other Republican who will not agree to change the rules from tho old Cannon regime, when tho Speaker of tho House had more power, some people say, than the President of the United States. The Republicans, it. is said, know they cannot coerce these Western statesman into voting for Maun, nnd rather than make a fight and lose, or to win ami adopt Democratic rules, they had rather wait at least another four years before they attempt to take over control of the lower branch of Congress.

The indiguant manner in which leading Kuropeau atateamen deny they are even thinking of peace would seem to imply that they had beeu accuaed of something dreadful.

STATE NEWSPAPER INSTITUTE. Will Be Addressed by Ex-President Taft Thursday Night—Burlington Citizen Buys 25 Copies Year- Book to Send Out-Other Items of Interest. Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill, N. C., Dec. r>.—Re qdests for tho North Carolina Club year-book have been twy~nu merous during the past week that it in cerlaiu the edition will be soon exhausted. No books are sent out except on personal re quest. A prominent citizen of Burlington has recently sent %-5 for 2o copies of the year-book —a dollar a copy. lie writes that this "is not as much as 1 think they are worth." Ho is mailing them to 25 of the largest and best known banks and bond houses of the country, "in order to dissemi nate accurate information about our State among the class upon which we are dependent for the purchaseof our securities; in other words, to put North Carolina on the map as far as the investing public is concerned." A statement of the work of the post-grailuate medical school for practicing physicians in the .State has recently been drawn tip for the information of the nuuiy peo ple from outside the State who have been writing to the University concerning its workings. I.ast year about IHS physicians took this course in diseases of children, the course being given in 12 dif ferent towns of the State. The physicians who took the course have been asked concerning its success. Over seventy-live per cent agreed that it was very suc cessful anl helpful. About the same per cent said that if another course in a different subject was instituted, they would take it. A formal record of attendance wits kept of last summer's meetings, ami an examination given in all the classes of one of the divisions. Fifty-seven stood this written test and passed on it, and were given certificates by the University. 'l'he University debaters are making preparations now to meet Ihe debaters of George Washing ton University in Washington City on December 18. It. M. Hose, Jr., and 11. I). Sharpo have been chosen to represent North Caro lina. The query to be discussed is: "Resolved, That Cougress should pass a law requiring com pulsory arbitration of all contro versies arising between the em ployers and employees of railroads engaged in inter-State commerce, constitutionality waived." The Dialectic Literary Society has just chosen its debaters for the annual Soph-Junior debate between the two societies. The debate will be held just before the Christmas va cation. V. A. Wilson and \V. C. Katon were chosen to represent the society.

X ♦ * All the white schools of Alamance have libraries except two. We are exceedingly anxious that th» greatest good possible be d rlvea therefrom. We want the childr n to know that hooks ar? tb -'r nest friends; that "reading n•• th a read.v man.' No so 1001 mi a more precious asset than its libra ry. The interest that a school o community manifests in its library is due very largely to t.'ie interest and enthusiasm shown by the teacher. When a teacher enters upon her work, one of her firs! du ties should be to acquaint herself with the books upon th"? t.brary shelf, determining the best means of circulating the books among the pupils and the people of the district. It is a mistake to think the library is just for the school. It is for the school, but it is forthe community as well. In order that the library be properly taken care of it is imperative that a correct Library Kecord be kept by a com petent librarian. To aid the teacher in making the libraries of more value to tie pu pils of the count.v, to aid them in adapting the reading material to the mind of the child, and to aid the children of our schools to form the good habit of carefully reading good books a Pupils' Reading Course has been outlined according to the following regulations. I. This reading course is prepar ed for the 3rd, 4th. sth, 6th ana 7th grades of the sch»o!s of Ala mance. 11. Four books of each grade from the given list must be care fully read to constitute a years work. 111. A simple teht must be taken on the books read during the year for credit. The test on each book will consist of tne following sim ple questions : 1. Name the four books reau during the year. 2. (Jive the author of each. 3. Did you read the book through? 4. Give some characteristic of the book by telling in a few words what the story i» iibout or tell of some prominent character, or any thing else of interest that you lik ed about the book. IV. At County Commencement a certificate will be given to each pupil completing a year s reading according to the regulations. V. Those continuing the course for four years, reading 16 boofcu in all and takyii? the tests yearly, will be awarded a diploma stat ing that the four years' course of the reading circle has been com pleted.

GRAHAM, N. C. HOW RED CROSS SEAL IDEA CAME INTO BEING. Originating in Norway, Method Was Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago. Over $3,250,000 has been raised by lied Cross Christmas Seals in the last eight years, and yet many people who will buy these holiday stickers at this ninth annual sale do not know how this idea origi nated. While lied Cross Seals really date back to the Civil War when "Charity Stamps" were first used, the first campaign to sell holiday stickers tor the tuberculosis fight fus only nine years ago in Dela are. Miss Emily P. Bissell of Wilmington read an article by Jacob liils describing stamps used for tuberculosis work in Norway, and she conceived the idea of a similar plan here. Single handed, she launched a sale which resulted in 83,000 clear money. When Miss Bissell trid to couvince the American lied Cross that this idea should be made national as a peace activity of that society, she met with opposition, but finally persuaded the authorities, with the result that on an investment of a few hundred dollaas §135,000 worth of Seals was sold in 11)08 and the, grtiat national campaign was launched. Since then the sale has gone forward by leaps and bounds, uutil now the lied Cross Seal is an institution in the United Slates, and ofliers to every one a chauce to help in the peo ple's tight against the people's disease* Last year over 70,000,- Oi(0 Seals were sold, and this year llie Amerieau Red Cross and The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, who conduct the sale, are out for a 100,t)00,0o0 sale or §1,000,000 for the Tuberculosis War. The policy on which the sale is conducted is that the money, ex cept for the deduction of legiti mate expenses, shall remain n tlie community where the Seals are sold. North Carolina's Population The population in North Caro lina has increased from 2,371,095 since July 1, 1015, to 2,402,738 as of July 1 of this year, according to an estimate of population made public by Director of the Census Rogers.

It the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help put oat the fire? It is much "the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fir? bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fira bell when it is ringing, but should curs the dis ease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done oy taking Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. Many have used it with mWt ■beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the pe'rsistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or j an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas i Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes. I "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best m 'dicine for breaking up these attacks ana you cannot get him to take any other.''

Few people have any conception of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are a few figures that will show what a gigantic movement this is. Already 325,000,000 Seals have been printed and practically that entire number distributed to agents in every State and terri tory of the Union from Alaska to the Canal Zone, from Porto Rico to Hawaii, and even in the far-off Philippines. Advertising circu lars, posters, cards, etc., to the number of several million, have also been distributed. Not less 1,000,000 personal letters asking people to buy Seals have been sent out. It is estimated that the army of works, nearly all of whom are volunteers, engaged in selling the Seals numbers well over 500,- 000. The advertising and pub licity devoted to' the campaign amounts to several hundred thous and dollars. Every effort is being jjut forth to sell 100,000,000 Seals, or only one for every man, woman and child in the United States. This will mean 81,000,000 for the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the United States. Over 1,500 anti tuberculosis associations of the country derive their support from Red Cross Seals. If the good work is to go on, you must help. The Federal trade commission has fixed December 12 as the date for another public hearing on the newsprint paper situation and in vited manufacturers, jobbers, newspaper publishers and any others interested to appear.
