VOL XLVI GIVING THE FACTS. University Students Know Conditions and are Urging Campaign for Adequate Facilities. Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill. N. C., Dec. 30.-«-Stu- of the University of North Carolina have started a campaign to tell the people of the State the conditions under which they 7 are forced to live because of over crowded dormitories and inade quate eating facilities. In the biggest and most serious minded mass-meeting of year held several weeks back one thousand of them resolved that if liviug conditions, which were character ized by student speakers as being unfit for men, were to be bettered, it would be by the efforts of the students themselves. They gave a thundering vote of unanimous approval to a program of what they called "Giving the people of North Carolina the facts," as outlined by their stu dent Campus Cabinet and they prepared and voted again unani mously to send a message to the people of the State outfitting their case. "As part of the company of your sons and daughters, who toda\ ciowd the North Caro ina colle es, we wi«h to face facts with you," said this message. "The main fact is that the public schools are turning out graduates in far larger numbers than the colleges can take care of them in a decent way. Over 3,000 will graduate from the high schools next spring. Even now students eat in shifts in Chapel Hill board ing houses and are packed three and four to a room in the dormi tories. Our congestion here is but representative of the con gestion in all the North Carolina colleges. "VVe present these facts to you with their simple story of present urgent need of room in which to eat, sleep, and study. We hope that the churches will build more buildings at the denominational colleges and the State will build more buildings at the State col leges. "The main fact, is not our pref ent congestion, critical as that is in fact and significance, but the larger concern is to make room for the boys and giris who even now are treasuring in their hearts the hope of going to colleges in North Carolina. With belief in her greatness we trust that North Carolina will not close the door in their faces. "We send this message of hope to the people of North Carolina with confident faith that the peo ple, armed with the facts will rise up to meet a big problem in a big way." The student body has not been so stirred in many years as it has become over its present over crowded condition, the recent meeting, arising spontaneously from the studentß and backed by the leading men in college, took on the character of a crusade. A committee has been organ ized composed of John Kerr, Jr . chairman, W. R. Berryhill, T. C. Taylor, W. H. Bobbitt, B. C. Brown, Boyd Harden, C. B. Hold fug and R. L. Thompson to direct the students' part in the fight to give the cause of higher education iu North Carolina a chance. Simi lar student meetings nave been held at A. & E., State College for Women, and the Eastern Carolina Teachers' Training School. The student bodies of all these schools y are working together in this move. They feel that North Carolina, fourth from the top in the nation in agricultural wealth, should come to the aid of her sons and daughters, »nd give them a chance to train themselves properly lor tuture leadership in the State, in dustriallyfeducationally, socially, and politically. The County Clubs are aiding the move. The Teach ers' Assembly and the State Parent-Teacher' Associations, in conjunction with numerous Ro tary Clubs, Chambers of Com merce, Kiwanis Clubs, have all called upon the people of the State to realize the situation fully and come to the aid of its University and colleges; They all realize that if North Carolina is to main tain her fourth place, and even go beyoud that, in the nation, theu her boys aud girls must be properly educated to a degree THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. worthy of their State's leader-1 ship. Plenty of Fruit For Every Farm Family. The Progressive Farmer. A matter that should have at tention on every Southern farm at this season is that of pro viding for plenty of delicious and wholesome fruits. Few things add more to the solid satisfaction of farm life, few things conti b ute more to physical health ai.d well-being, aud few really good things are more easily had if the matter bv gone about in the right way. During the next two or three months orchard trees should be set. First, wef would suggest that our readers get in touch with their state horticulturists in re gard to the best varieties for their particular sections aud the nearest reliable nurseries. This done, write the nurseries for prices and place your orders without delay, for there Is a scarc ity of good trees, and late orders may not be filled. Once the orchard is set, do not neglect it to the ravages of insects and diseases. The unsprayed orchard is Spon ruined, but spray ing, pruning, fertilizing and cul tivation will pretty nearly / insure a ciop of good fruit." Make your plans to have a first class home orchard, and then get to work on the job. It will pay you. FARM CONVENIENCES.

There are experts In all lines, but shall not a man who can persuade eight,women to marry him rank as an authority on matrimony? According to the Mlssourlan who Is locked up lft' i r'tlte Tombs as a confessed bigamist, tha to a woman's heart is through liei higher emotions. "I appealed to the best In women always," he says, "and n*ver to their lower natures." Women also, this artist in love dls- ' covered, "like to be swept off their feet by those who woo them; they f have no patience" with the dawdler. Nor did he find that It was essential for the wooer to be handsome or more than neatly dressed., But these, of course, are old precepts In the manual of courtship. Ugly men have often been great rakes, and ardor Is tradi tionally effective In sweeping the re luctunt fair "off their feet." His main contribution to the art of love, and it Is one worthy of Ovid, Is that of the potency of an appeal to the higher na ture of women. But Is "the best" In women a fixed quality, or does It and require to be diagnosed in/the IndividualT That Is no doubt a Qlfliculty that will confront ordinary wooers. Is the high er feminine nature compatible with matinee tickets and tea dances, or does It Incline seriously only to more ele vated Interests? The recipe apparent ly leaves the problem about as It was for less successful suitors to whom the mystery remains of other men's easy mastery of an art of which they fall to learn the rudiments. —New York World. CAUSES OF BROKEN ROMANCE London Newspaper Points Out Two Reason's Why Love'* Young Dream Is Rudely Shattered. Engagement breaking Is In (ypr.son. "The marriage arranged between Captain X anil Miss Y will not now take place." That cold print end to romance can be read any day now In the society columns of the papers. I' Is becoming a habit. Experts who study these matters declare that the percentage of broken engagements has never been ho high, and they set down several reasons, says the London Dally Express. The main one 1«: The great khaki Illusion, (a) The woman: "You would not believe how different he looted In his civilian suit, my dear. I slinky couldn't do it." (b) The tnan: "She was awfully charm ing as a driver In the Women's legion, but when I saw her In one of the new evening gowns—well. It Just couldn't happen." The house famine Is given as Mi other cause. Two young people who believe themselves to be twin souls go out and try to find a future home. It Is physically Impossible for any person's temper to stand the stralu of present-day house-hunting. They quarrel, and there Is another broken romance. Cleaning Rusted Tool*.

In Justice Collins' court, brought by an Omaha store against Miss Jose phine Hill of Council Bluffs. The store seeks to enforce payment for an SBO suit which Miss Hill Is alleged to have purchased, says the World-Her ald. According to the girl'.s testimony, a week after she bought the suit she found a moth hole In it. She returned , It to the store. The suit was mended j aud given back to her wltli Instruc tions to wear It 30 days and bring It back at the end of that time If not ; satisfactory. Miss Hill testified she wore the suit for 80 days, placing it carefully on a hanger In her closet each night. At the end of the specified period, examina tion, she said, revealed not one Iml a whole community of holes. She re fused to pay for the suit, and the store took the case Into court.. After one clerk for the store told the court the holes complained of couldn't be iirHh holes, because any self-re-.! spectlve moth eats a round hole, while those under discussion were distinctly oblong, and after Miss 11111 had made an exhibition of the holes and another clerk had suggested that Miss Hill might have worn the holes In the skirt by rubbing against, her type writer desk, Justice Collins looked wise and took the matter under ad visement.
