VOL. XLVII "Extry" Session Meets DeG. 6th Only the Special Objects for Which Called Expected to be Taken Up— No New Prohibition Legislation. SAFETY WEEK DEC. 4--10 Some Valuable Prizes for Essays- Farmers' Union Meeting 1h& Week —Federal Government AUets $!,- 700,000 for State Roads; Will be Spent on Certain Roads and Not Divided Among Districts. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, Nov. 15.—As the time for the assembling of the "Extry" (with apologies to the news boys) approaches closer, it appears to be more evident that it will be a brief session of the General As sembly, probably not consuming the limit of twenty days. Two weeks will be all the time requir ed to perform the two special feats of legislation, the necessity for which calls the lawmakers here, and some little odds and ends that may appear desirable. At the end of two weeks the Christmas spirit will be in the air and the average solon will be wanting to take the train home again. So the legislator who is being asked to introduce the usual "lit tle bill," to the number of the usual several hundred, can confi dently tell his constituents to have patience and keep it in soak till the regular session in January, 1923. Such "bills" will not get very far if "introduced" at the "Extry" session which meets De cember 6th. Wo Prohibition Legislation. Reiterating its position that , legislation by the General Assem- i bly is needed to make the State I laws harmonize with federal acts, 1 the Board of Trustees of the North ' Carolina Anti-Saloon League, in , session in Raleigh, however, de- i cided not to ask any legislation at ] the coming special session, which 1 was called for a specific object. f Rev. R. L. Davis was elected ( superintendent of the League for ( the sixteenth time. W. T. Shaw, j M. L. Shipman, R. L. Davis and , Mrs. T. W. Bickett • were elected ] to represent the North Carolina ] Anti-Saloon League on the board of the Anti-Saloon League of America. Increase in the popula tion of North Carolina now gives the state four representatives on the board instead of three. Superintendent R. L. Davis sub mitted his report of the year's work, a record of several hundred 1 speaking 'appointments in churches and Sunday schools, 1 talks being made in the interest of the enforcement of prohibition, both by himself and other workers io the office. Much literature : has also been distributed during the year in the interest of the prohibition cause. Safety Week, December 4-10. Every community in North i Carolina should take an interest in ihe national observance of Safety Week, set for December 4th to 10th—for the occasion and the lessons to be studied and taught then are most important, j Report* by the Census Bureau and from other sources show that the number of deaths from auto I mobile accidents is increasing ail h the time.

Ex ecutive sessions of thenoion will be held in the evenings at ti o'clock, following the opju ineeF" iugs during the day. HmMral Aid to Roads In North Carolina Looks Good. The $1,700,000 the federal gov ernment allots to aid in construc tion of good highways iu North Carolina will be spent on certain particular roads rather than di vided up among the different dis tricts, according to decision by the Highway Commission. This decision will not prevent other sections of the state where federal money is not used from getting the benefit of this money, for the expenditure of the money on cer tain roads which will be picked by the commission will leave just that much more state money for use on the roads in other dis tricts . / The government expects the money to be. ueied for ihe con struction of stkte roads i hat will ultimately up the roads of North Carolius with improved highways of other states, thereby ultimately forming an mUrstate system of good roads. While the federal aid money could have been divided out among the dif ferent districts, such a division would have necessitated a good deal of bookkeeping md some red tape, which is avoided by the de cision of the coin lesion to spend the money whi-ro it can be used to the best advantage. In approving the projects for the construction over tfOO more miles of road in the state the com mission rounded out its meetiug with the practical application of the decision reached early in this month's meeting t.» speed up con struction and to spend the money for roads as fast as sound business justifies. All the commission is now asking is that the money be placed at its disposal for the con struction work. And the Council of State, charged with the respon sibility for financing the road pro gram, has given the word that the money will be obtained when it is needed, just as fast as the commission can spend it and in as large qualities as it can be used by the road building forces. Investing in Schools. The foliowiug tditorial from the Philadelphia Record shows how thw educational program of North Carolina is impressing out siders: The Ch.irlotte, N. C., Observer prints a 1 >ng list of towns and rural continuities in that >State which have wit'-lu a year voted in favor of bonds for school pur poses, the; total aggregating sl3, 000,000 The amounts vary from *l,ttoo,Uoo issued by Greensboro do .* n io $2,000 by a hamlet darned alter Milwaukee. These ligures,says the Observer, afford very good indication that the little >chojls are keeping pace with college and uuiversity de v lot>u»eiit. The educational movement in North Carolina has asnuuied proportions that possibly are not equaled by auy state in the Union. This is gratifying news, for it is a common .impres sion that in the educational pro t,*«*wion the Southern States have too often lagged behind. North jcaroH a, which' showed a very large gain in the last census, will lind that ood schools will be a great advertisement for it. Perhaps iu the next generation j students will be flocking to its colleges from all parts of the country rather than to Massachu setts or Connecticut. Mooey placed in good school buildings and adequate teachers' salaries is |oue of the best investments a state can Hiake. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1921 MARKED TRIBUTE TO WOODROW WILSON. Was Cheered as He Rode in Funeral Procession Armistice Day—Made First Public Utterance Since Leav ing White House. Washington, Nov. 12.—Former President Wilson made bis first public appearance Friday since he left the White Housp riding in the funeral procession for the un known dead soldier and later greeting a crowd gathered at his home. Everywhere Mr. Wilson was given a demonstration. When his carriage entered the funeral line at the foot of the capltol hill he was greeted with a fluttering of handkerchiefs and then with handcUpping and cheering which continued until he left the lino after passing the White House, where he exchanged salutes with President Harding. The demonstration at his home was of great proportions. It was arranged as a non-partisan affair by a committee of seven women for whom Hamilton Holt of New York was spokesman. "We congratulate you, a wound ed soldier of the world war, on your regaining health," Mr. Holt said to the former President, who had come to the front portico of his home to receive the commit tee "We pledge you our honor and respect. Your work shall not die." Wbfeu the cheering which greet ed this statement had subsided, Mr. Wilson made his first public utterance since he was taken ill more than two yewrs ago. "I wish I had voice enough to reply to you," he said. "I can ouly thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you." The former President's words brought renewed applause. " Good bye aud thank you," Mr. Wilson responded. Voices started up 'My Country 'Tis of Thee" and at the end of the first stanza Mr. Wilson kissed his hand to the crowd, while Mrs. Wilson at his side wept sileutly. A min ute more and Mr. Wilson had re entered his home, but it was half an hour before the crowd dispers ed, the farmer President appear ing at a window on tire second floor in response to repeated calls. Half an hour before the com mittee of women arrived, four wounded soldiers lrom ' Walter Reed hospital drew up in frout of the home in an automobile. A few minute* later the lonner Presi dent appeared. There was a cheer aud the crowd rushed from all sides, scattering police aud Boy Scouts until the street was choked. Mr. Wilson doffed his high hat in response to the cheers ami then was assisted as he slowly desended the step 9. He shook hands with each of the wounded men in turn as the crowd continued its cheer ing and waving of haudkerchiefs, flags and flowers. Returning to the steps, a few feet away, the former President received a group of iittie children, shaking hands wnh each; Several bunches of chrysanthemums were presented by the children and *»y women who rushed to the door from the crowd. Mr. Wilson re-entered his home, but soon appeared at aii upper window in response to continued applause. Soon the committee and organizations responsible for arraugiug the demoustra 1 iou ar rived l'rom Arlington. During the short wait that preceded the second appearance of the former President ou the portico women in the crowd on a terraced lot across the street began to sing "The Star Spangled banner." Other voices took up the strains until thoy were welling from a thousand throats. * As the former President appeared to receive the committee, therd were cheers for the "league of nations" and Mr Wilson vigorously waved his hat in his hand Repeatedly men in the crowd called for cheer* for the league and each lime Mr. WilaouV face lightened up and he waved his hat in unison with the hur rahs of the crowd w lir. Wilson was astir early to day to takehis place iu the funeral procession for the unknown sol dier. To a group of correspond ent* who were at bis home whcu he returned ha aaid that be was glad to pay homage to the un known. Of the deinonstation which he received on Pennsylvan ia avenue, he said: "It was rather embarrassing because it was given in a funeral procession." Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, Mr. Wilsori's personal physician, visited the former Presideut soon arteritis ride, and later said Mr. Wilson apparently had suffered no ill effects. South Will Smash Records in Response to Annual Appeal. Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 15th.—Sou thern Division Headquarters of the Americau Red Cross sees a veritable triumph of the Red Cross cause iu Dixie as a result of reports from every sectiou of the Division on the results of early Roll Call activity The South, these reports indi cate, is keenly alive to the import ance of the f>eace time program of the organization and the response to the appeal of The Greatest Mother is believed ample assur ance that the work now being at tempted will be carried on throughout the coining year and possibly extend so that every comniun ty in the Division will fee' and know its l>enefits. This has been made possible solely through the whole hearted cooperation of p* ople iu every waik of life throughout the sec tiou. Big business has recognized the benefits that accure to it from participation in Red Cross activity aud the response has been gener ous, and organized labor has been no less quick to grasp the oppor tunity to aid a cause that is one of the prime factor:} in our nation al life in adding strength and force to the masses. In faci, practically every labor leadt-r in the SOuth has not only enrolled himself as a Red Cross member, but lias given his enthu siastic endorsement of the Red Cross program. -The doctrine of Red Cross service has been preached from hundreds of evangelical pulpits In the South aud at the same time it has been made the subject of endorsement from prelate and priest, iu church and iu syna gogue. In fact the cooperation has been as widespread as the cause tn which it is given. As a resu t Division Headquarters officials predict that despite.the uncertain ties of the times, the South will smash all it*.records for respouse to the annual appoal of this great national organization. Sheep Raising on Annual Forage Crops. In the United States sheep rinsing is and has been largely a business conducted on the large ranges of the West or on farms in the East and Middfe West (that contain considerable permanent pasture. It has been extensive rather thau intensive, but men who have been investigating sheep-growing problems for the United States Department of Agri culture bel ieve that the time has eome when farmers in many local ities, where not grow in abundance or where for some other reason land must be handled more intensively, can use tem porary forage to advantage in raising sheep. This problem of producing sheep on annual crops ; will be given considerable atten tion by the department iu a spe cial sheep exhibit at the hay and| grain show to be held with the In ternational Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, November 2t» to Dec ember 3. A great variety of forage crops have been used ID test, and it is now possible to make comparisons so that farmers in different local ities may pick oat the crop or crops that should give the In-nt results. The crops that have been used are rape, e*>> l»eanc,oats and peas, wheat, cow peas, alfalfa, barley and rye. This »> stein, aside from putting on gains at a profit and enabling farmer* t» produce uiore mutton and wool on a limited acreage, lessens the danger of loss from diseaj»es aud parasites.

Balk of Carolina and Virginia To bacco Will be Sold Through Co operative Market—Campaign to End January Next—Then Directors and Delegates to be Elected. Kentucky has sigued up 135,- 000,000 pounds of her 190,000,000 pound crop to sell this year through co-operative marketing. We understand that the large coinpauies will not send buyers to Keutucky this year as they have recognized the Co-operative plan of selling. The bulk of the tobacco of the Carolinas aud Virginia will be sold through co-operative marketing for another year. This no doubt will be the beet season of the auc tion Bystein of selling tobacco.' The membership to date is above 40,000 tobacco growers with over 350,000,000 pounds signed up in three States. The campaign in Alamauco county is goiug along tine, with 97,000 pounds signed up last week. We find the .sentiment over the county much more favorable than last spring and feel sure that if we cau get to every farmer by Jvnuary Ist that we will have 7o percent.. The general election of dele gates and directors of the Asso tiou will be held iu January, 1922. According to the contract 22 to bacco districts will be formed. The size of the districi will de peud upon the uumber of con tracts actually sigued. Each district will have the same amount of estimated signed up produc tion. We fetel that the two tobacco towns of our county should come within one of these district* iu order that we may use part of the preseut facilities, if they so desire to lease. A very strong member ship strengthens the possibilities of retaining the preseut lobacco towns as receiving stations. In asmuch as the majority of the farmers have already signed vTe feel, as did a Burlington business mau last week, that it is now a community problem in which business men as well as farmers should work until January Ist for a large membership of growers around our tobacco towns to keep them in the center of a receiving district and not let the tobacco go to a receiving station outside of the county, as would be A new era in agricultural de velopment is here. Let us awake to the new situation, realizing its greater opportunity. We desire the co-operatfon of every agency in the county for a larger sign up. Let's place Alamance first again. W.

ID estimating a civilization it is the neglected and forgotten mau more than any other that • must be taken into account. When you bnild a house, you make the foundation the strong rat part of it, and the honee, how ever ornate its architecture, can be no stronger than the founda tion. A community is not rich be cause it contains a few rich men, it is not healthful because it con tains a few strong men, it is not intelligent because it contain*! a few men of learning, nor is it of good morals because it contains good women—if the rest of the population also be not well-to-do, or healthful, or intelligent, or of good morals: The common people is the clash most to be considered in the structure of civilization. Moreover, in proportion as any "oinmunity in the organization of its society or in the development of its instntions lays emphasis on its few rich men, or its few culti vated men, it is likely to forget and to neglect its very founda tion. It is hot these small classes that really make the community what it is, that determine the condition of its health, the souudness of its social structure, its economic value and its level of life. The security and the soundness of the whole body are measured at last by the condition of its weakest part. Tho oldest harp in existence is preserved at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
