OUR FLAG.
When you see the Stars ana
Stripes displayed, son, stand up aoa
s take off your hat I Somebody may
titter. It is popular to deride all
expression of noble sentiment. You
may blaspheme in the street, and
stagger drunken in publje puces,
and the bystanders will not pay
much attention to youi but If you
should get down on your knees in
the street snd pray to Almighty
God. or if you should stand bare
headed while a company of olu
soldiers marched by with their flag,
some people will sneer.
Don't you mind ! When Ola
Olory comes along, salute, and let
i them think what they please I
When you hear the band play the
"Star Spangled Banner," In a res
taurant or hotel, get up, even if
you rise alone; stand tnere ana
don't be ashamed of It, eflner !
For of all the signs and symbol*
since the world began, there is
never another, save only the Cross
sanctified on Calvary, so full oi
meaning, as the flag of our country.
That piece of reu, white and blue
bunting means five thousand year*
of struggle upward. > It is the full
blown flower of ages of lighting
for liberty. It is tne century plsnt
of human hope in bloom.
It means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, of the helots
of Oreece, of the humsn chattels
of Rome, of the vassals of feudal
ism, of the serfs of Kussta, of the
blacks of America, of all the down
trodden people of the ages.
You flag atands for humanity, for
an equal opportunity to all the sons
of nien. We haven t arrived yet at
that goal ; there is Injustice still
among us, msn.v senseless and cruel
customs of the past still cling to
us, but the only hop® of r|ghting
the wrongs of men lies In th- 1 feel
ing produced in our bosom* by
the sight of the flung.
It stands for no race. It Is not
like an Kngliah, French, or German
(lag. It stsnds for all men who
will come and live with u» under
Its protection. It Is the only ban
ner thst means mankind. Other
flags mean a glorious pant, thin
flang means a glorious future. It
is not so much the flag of our fa
thers, aS It is the flag of ou« chil
dren snd of all children's children
yet unborn. It Is the Msg of to
morrow—the signal of the "Good
Time Coming.'- It I* not the flsg
of your king, it is the flag of your
self and of your neighbors.
It haa a power coneeale! in its
folds and acatters abroad an In
fluence from Its flutterlngs. That
power and Influence mean that In
due time, slowly and by force ol
law. but surely ss the footsteps of
Qoa. the Isat and ancient fraud
■hall be smitten, the last unearned
privilege removed, the lust irreg
ularity net right, the last man shall
have a place to work and a living
wage, the lust woman shall hnve
all ner rights of person and of citl
senahlp, and the Jast and least of
children shsll be sheltered sna
trained and equipped by the sov
ereign atate, nnd so have their
right to live. • r
Don't be aahamed when your
throat chokea and the tears come
as you see it flying from the msst
of a ship in some foreign port.
You will never have a worthier
emotion. Reverence it us you
would reverence the signature of
, the deity.
By thousands the victims of old
world csste are stresmlng wrst-
Wsrd, seeking here the thing that
flag. atands for—opportunity. It
■tands for the open door of amoi
bltlon against the closed door of
caste.
- It wives defisnce ut all ghosts,
they thst hsve for long Intlmhluteu
men; the ghoat of monarchy, the
the ghost of srlstocrsey, the ghos.
of war, the ghost of eccleslsstic
rule; all they thst still lay shsd
owy hands upon the life of Europe
and Asis.
Listen, son, ! The band Is play
ing the "Star Spangled Banner.'
They have let loose "Old Olory,'
yonder. Stsnd up snd Hurrah for
the flag of your country.—South
ern Rurallat.
In thia issue we are printing a
aerie* of reaolutlons adopted by lead
ing colored citizens of Burlington.
Thia and aimilar action on the part
of the colored people at various other
points should set at naught the un
just reports designedly sent out
from sundry places that the negn>
waa disloyal to the United States
The reaolutions breathe a spirit of
loyalty and patriotism that is grati
fying and commendable.
The United Stales Congress has
passed a financial bill, without a
dissenting vote, to raise seven bil
lions in money for war purposes.
Three billiona will be loaned to the
Allies and four billions will be used
by the United Statee in making
preparations. This is the biggest
finaucial transaction in a lump ever
paaaed in the history of the world.
1 1
The British Parliament yesterday
was profound in ita praise of the
United Statee for its proposed aid in
pnaecnting the war. "To America,"
■aid Mr. Dillon, nationalist leader,
fall the bleeaed task of baaing
peace on liberty." Premier Asqnith
•aid "it in one of the most diainter
fc*, «ated acta in history."
RAISE FOOD CROPS.
•r-
There is a nation-wide movement
[or planting and growing food crop*,
rhe departments of the Government
it Washington, Governors, County,
City and Town authorities, and pri
vate citizens are urging people every
where to plant food crops as the
most potential means of aiding the
Allies in prosecuting and speedily
terminating the war with the Central
Powers of Europe. An abundance
of fo d, too, will enable America to
live cheaper at home. Food in war
is more effective than shot and shell.
Let it be the determination of every
one to plant and raise home supplier
and husband the product. J
A torpedo boat was sighted 100
miles South of New *York at 3:30
o'clock Tuesday morning. It sent a
shot in 30 yards of U. S. 8. Smith.
Nothing further was heard of i'.
This looks liks bringing the war to
our shores.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH WILL
DO LIFE EXTENSION WORK
IN ALAMANCE.
Dr. A. J Ellington in Charge—Be
gins Work May 1.
Beginning the first woek in May,
the State Hoard of Health, under
the direction of Dr. A. J. Elling
ton, will begin the work of a life
extension campaign in thin county
which will consist mainly of phy
sical examinations given free to
ill the citizens of the county be
tween the ages of 25 and 65 years.
Dr. Ellington is a specialist iu
thin Held of work, having gradu
ated in medicine at Columbia
University and received training
at the New York City Hospital.
He also studied with the Life Ex
tension Institute of New York
City, and the New York City
Health Department. He lias re
cently completed a similar cam
paign in Henderson and Vauce
county, where his work waa re
ceived and appreciated by the peo
ple in the highest terms.
The plan by which Dr. Elling
ton proposes to do this work is to
open offices in three or four towns
or convenient places in the coun
ty, with all the necessary modern
equipment and laboratory facili
ties for making thorough and
scientific physical examinations,
including urine examination and
blood pressure tests. There will
be no oiierations made or treat
meiits.given, but sound practical
advice as to habits of living and
practices of |iersonal hygiene that
are necessary to check anil pre
vent untoward conditions or dis
eases. The diseases that will be
given special attention aud for
which the examination will be
made will bo cancer, tulierculo
sis, kidney diseases, including
liright'a, organic heart diseases,
diabetes, apoplexy and arterios
clerosis or hardening of the
arterios. Defects of the inouth,
eyes, ears, nose and throat will
also be given attention.
The purpose of this feature of
health work is to prolong life and
make it more useful. Health ex
perts have found that an examina
tion that will detect impairments
or the first signs of diseases, at
the stage where oncoming dis
eases can lie checked or prevent
ed, is the most effective means of
prolonging life, particularly at the
time when it is most valuable.
The chief rcasou for such woik is
that mortality in middle life is
rapidly increasing. Another rea
son for this work is that physical
defects such as uncorrected vis
ion, defective hearing, or diseases
of the mo ith or gums are haudi
capping peoplo by decreasing their
efficiency as well its their health.
Oftentimes by not knowing their
physical condition |ieople engage
in work that is wholly unsuited
and that is detrimental to their
health.
Next' week Dry Kllington will
send letters to the |»ebple giving
full details of the work and tell
ing thcin how to get this examina
tion. Everybody is expected to
be on the lookout for these let
ters.
One of the best arguments in
favor of enlistment in the fine
physical appearance of the men
who have returned from service
on the border.
Labor loaders declare their de
termination to serve their country
in time of war in a inxnner that
leaves no danger of their being
mistaken for pacifists.
Ugh I Calomel Makes
You Deathly Sick
Stop Using Dangerous Drug
Before it Salivates you !
It's Horrible!
You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
Sated, and believe you need vile,
uqgcrous calomel to start your
liver and clean your bowels.
Here'a my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone and take a
spoonful to-night. If it doesnt
start your liver and straighten you
right up better than calomel and
without griping or making you
sick. I want you to go back to
the drug store and get your
money.
Take calomel to-day and to-mor
row you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Dont loae a day*
work. Take a spoonful of harm
less, vegetable Dodson a Liver Tone
tonight and wake up feeling great
It's perfectly harmless. Give, It to
your children any time. It can!
salivate, so let them eat anything
they wast afterwards.
THE OWNER OF LAKE LATHAM.
He, Mr. J. E. Latham, Chairman of
Farm Demonstration Committee
of Guilford County.
OWN* BIG STOCK FARM IX ALA
MANCR. NEAR MHBANH.
WiU Show Farmers How to Do
Things.
A recent issue of the Greens
boro Daily Record had the follow
ing to say abont Mr. Latham:
"Mr. J. E. I,atham, the cotton
merchant and real estate man of
this city who always does things
in the right way, has for a long
time thought the people of this
state did not pay enough atten
tion to live stock —that they had
concluded most any old thing
would do In the way of cattle. On
his plantation, Lake Latham, we
believe it is called in Alamance,
he already has a fine herd of
Hereford cattle, some twenty odd
in number. These cattle have
l>een the wonder of all the fanners
round about who have looked
upon them. They come high,
these thoroughbreds do, but they
are worth while/ Not being satis
lied with so small a herd, aud con
eluding that he might start some
thing in an effort to arouse senti
ment for better stock, Mr. Latham
now has his herdsman in Kansas
City and in a .few days three cars
of some sixty odd new cattle will
be added to this herd. In the lot
are eight thoroughbred bulls, and
the cows are also thoroughbred.
When they arrive this will in
crease the herd to something like
seventy-five cattle —and all tor
breeding purposes. This took a
lot of nerve, no doubt, on the part
of Mr. Lath&m, to make such an
investment, but be is in earnest —
aud wants to demonstrate aud
prove that raising the right kind
of beef cattle in this State will
pay the man who undertakes it.
He wants to show that whereas an
ordinary cow that is sold for beef
will weigh si* or eight hundred
pounds, this particular breed
which he will introduce will weigh
from twelve to fifteen hundred,
while the steers will run as high
as two thousand pounds—and
more.
"Those who see nothing but to
bacco and cotton will some day
awaken to the necessity of diver
sity—of different kinds of
and improvement in the live»t3&ck
line. All of this kind of work,
Mr. Latham is enthusiastic over,
and he wants to be in position not
to submit theory to farmers when
he goes to talk to them as Chair
man of the Farm Demonstration
Committee but imagining some
may be from Missouri, he will
have the form and the crops and
the live stock to "show them" if
they want to see. When the ad
dition to his herd arrives there
will be a pretty picture.,oll that
Alainauce plantation."
S|>eaking further of Mr. Latham,
the Record says, "He ii not asleep
lit the switch. He has guaranteed
that before he gets through hi»
chore he will Increase the agricul
tural output of old Ouilford 10 per
cent, for to years, and that means
too per cent. Mr. Latham is not a
farmer, I>ut for the past four* yean
he has given much time mon
ey and attention to the n >eds of
the agriculturist. He comes in as
an official, as a man duly appoin
ted to help, and he has taken off
shis coat, figuratively and literally
and he is helping. He goes out
to the country school houses and he
addresses the farmers and tells
them what he has ascertained,
what he knows to be facts, and
they give him a respectful hear
ing and thank him for the informa
tion he imparts. He is showing
them by cold facta and figure* that
thoy must diversify their crops;
they must pay more attention to
liVe stock; that they must get the
best that is on the market anJ im
prove conditions in all ways.'-
It's a wonder that the necessity
of having A little something to eat
hasn't driven the whole Oerman
|K«o|ile into the army.

Of This Paper
Alamance Negroes Paaa KeaphiUooa,
Pledging Support mi teHkj to
the Cownmit, and
Offering Servtoa.
Whereas, The American Negro
ia by birth a native of these Unit
ed States; and whose freedom
from bodily servitude was the
providential handa of Almighty
Ood, through the intervention of
a war, in which the Negro waa not
a material factor in its prosecu
tion; and,
Whereas, The conduct of atrug-
gle for existence is a law of na
ture, and is attested by universal
experience, as it relates to the
conduct of both man and beast;
and,
Whereas, The American Negro
has, by legal enactment, been de
clared a citizen of the United
States, and endowed with rights,
privileges and immunities, vouch
safed by this great and sover
eign Federal Government of the
United Stateaof America; and,
Whereas, Faithful devotion to
right aud just laws, and unswerv
ing allegiance to onr Federal Gov
ernment and its institutions,
clothes such a man, as nothing
else can or does, with warranted
protection, as it relates to life,
liberty and the pursuits of avoca
tions as a means to livlihW>d; and,
Whereas, The Congress of the
United States of America, in ex
traordinary session assembled,
did on the third day of April,
1917, declare that a state of war
existed between these United
.States aud the Imperial Govern
ment of Germany, by reason of
the facts that the Imperial Gov
ernment of Germany had most
flagrantly and persistently at
tacked our mercantile vessels
upon the high seas, aud wautonly
destroyed much property and
many lives of American sujects;
Therefore, We, American Ne
gro citizens of the United States,
and residents of the City of Bur
lington, N. C., and furthermore
being members of an organization
composed prinoipally of Negro
pastoring preachers, school teach
ers and other leading business
men, the purpose of which organi
zation is to seek and endeavor to
preserve law and order among the
Negro and between the two races
contiguously living, do hereby go
on record by the adoption of the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That we do hereby
pledge ourselves, both singly and
collectively, to be true and loyal
citizens of our country, the United
States of America, in the time of
war as we were in the time of
peace; and that our allegiance is
no way impaired by any irregu
larities of the past in which riot
ous citizens were active while the
Government was passive; and we
stand ready to render any service
within our power to preserve the]
perpetuity of this government of
which we are recognized citizens,
and will respond to her call to
colors when our flag is dishonored,
or the rights of American citizens
are unjustly circumscribed; or
when lives are endangered by the
luiperi&l Government of Germany
or any of her allies.
Resolved further, That we will
seek to encourage and cultivate a
spirit of loyalty in the conduct of
our fellew-citizens toward the gov
ernment of the Federal Union by
talltiug of the many advantages
hi Id out to the law-abiding citizen.
Resolved, That we further en
deßvor to protect our country by
peeking to delect and expose any
plot of any clan directed to evade
or frustratd the execution of the
spirit of the law of our Govern
ment in the interest of its com
mon weal.
Resolved further, That we favor
a speedy gathering together of the
Negro citizens of Alamance coun
ty at the Court House in the town
of Graham lor the purpose of tak
ing the necessary steps to answer
the call of our government in its
struggle of war with the Imperial
Government of Germany and its
allies.
Resolved further, That a copy
of the above preamble and resolu
tions be sent to the newspapers of
the county for publication, and
that also a copy be sent to the
Sheriff of the county, Governor of
the State, and the Honorable

Samuel Merwin, who among the
younger writers of America has
already won much renown, is a
regular contributor to Cosmopoli

At present Mr. Merwin is con
tributing short stories entitled
"The Loves of Henry the Ninth",
which are stories of boy and girl
love. Never was "puppy-love" so
gayly, yet so delicately treated as
in these splendid stories. The
story for May -is entitled "The

'; Educational Column Conducted i
by Supt. J. B. Robertion. ;
'» ■_ •
Things have been busy and are
getting more so at the Superin
tendent's office, in the entire town
of Graham and many places
throughout the county, making
aeady for the County Commence
stent next Friday. Some two
hundred sets of *papers have been
graded. Reports are being oom
pared; certificates made out;
stages built; pragrains arranged;
judges secured; exhibition ar
ranged; music practiced, etc.,
etc.,—more things done than could
be counted in a long time. If the
weather man is good to us on next
Friday, if will be another great
day for the educational interest
of the county.
The farmers are behind with
spring work and everybody is
urging the farmer to plant exten
sively this year, as food products
are scarce and high; but we be
lieve next Friday is a day of
enough importance to call for
sacrifice in order to attend, if
needs be.
Should Friday be a rainy day,
the Commencement will be held
on Saturday following.
The floats and the pupils on foot
will be in one grand parade.
For the sake of the parade, the
police of Graham ask that it be
announced to the public that no
traffic with vehicles will be allow
ed on Main street from the court
[house to the school building, be
tween the hours of 10 to 12.
The students making perfect
records in spelling will spell rff
the tie for the prices at the Coun
ty Commencement. The spelling
will be just after dinner, in the
Superintendent's office.
The exhibition will be in the
Paris Building.
Music will be furnished by the
Elmira Brass Band.
Ladies' Rest Rooms, with com
fortable conveniences, have been
provided in the Assembly rooms
in rear of Citizens Bank, and on
the second floor of City Hall.
Ladies from the City Civic League
will be at the Rest Rooms ready
to welcome you.
The town of Graham is making
every preparation to receive her
guests next Friday. Rest rooms
are provided, driuking fountains
are being placed, reception com-,
mittees appointed, and stoies will
be decorated—a haqdsome prize
being offered for the best decorat
ed store.
No Troops to Europe Until • Big
Army is Trained.
Washington Dispatch toNew York
Times.
No units of the American army,
National Guard or other military
forces will be sent to the battle
front in Europe for use in the war
against the German government,
according to present plans of the
administration, until a total of
approximately 1,000,000 men have
been placed in training. The war
plan, as it now stands, follows:
First—To utilize the navy in
every possible wayvin joint opera
tions with the British and French
navies, against the German sea
forces and their submarine opera-
tions. f
Second—To munition the En-
tente allies to the fullest possible
extent without interference with
the manufacture of American
munitions.
Third—To make an immediate
loan of $3,000,000,000 to the allies
Fourth—To do everything pos
sible toward providing England
with foodstuffs to offset the
operations of the German U-boat
campaign.
Fifth—To train a million men
the first year, and another million
men the next yenr, none of which
is to be sent to the battle front iu
Europe until thi» first million is
ready and plans are completed for
keeping this force supplied in the
field.
Sixth —To utilize this force of a
million men, if necessary, to U'rn
the tide against the Germans in
the great war.
High officials of the War De
partment and members of the
general staff of the army are
strongly opposed to the dispatch of
any Americaa land forces to Eu
rope at this time, either under
command of Col. Roosevelt, form
ed in a separate division of volun
teers, or as a Unit from the Na
tional Guard or regular army.
1 Much has been said in some
quarters in favor of sending a
force of 10,000 or 20,000 to Europe
as rapidly as possible for the
psychological effect that this dis
play of the American flag would
have at the front. High army
officials insist that nothing wonld
be gained and everything lost by
such action.
