THE C. B. H. LODGE.
Dear Editor: I ask a sptfco in your
paper to say a few words about our
lodge: wifc Ahm
Lodge No. 1 Is in the best condition
It has been In for several years,
though we have had quite a struggle
for the past six months. The brothers
are still glad to remain In this or
der, we trust and believe that they
will continue as they are now and
that we may realise the harder t?"
fight the braver the soldiers must be.
We ssk In behatf of the widows and
orphans that this order be spread all
over the world. It must be a com
forting thought that your hrsband or
brother will be cared for In sickness
and death, and then to think that
you will not be left alone, but will
be protected and cared for under the
sheltering banners of the C. B. H,
Lodge No. l Is not sleeping but Is
waking up to the fact that I*. is doing
a glorious work and Is proud of the
fact.
We meet regular oach Friday night
at eight o'clock, with right good at
tendance. We were glad to have the
pleasure of receiving one of our old
charter members to our order again
last Friday night. We urge each
member to be present each Friday
night is they possibly can.
I think our members look st this
order In the right spirit and are
helping so many dear little orphans
to get a home perhaps.
Dear brothers, when you feel dis
couraged and fee] that you cannot
keep in this lodge any ionger, just
ask yourself this question: Is this
worth anything to me? Would it
help my dear wife and l*ttl?i children
if T should be called away from them?
Brothers, If you win but look at It
this way, I feel sure you will strug
gle harder than ever before to keep
It up. With best wHhos for our
Lodges, I am
Respectfully,

MORE BOYS ARE INVITED TC
ENTER CONTEST.
Raleigh, N. C.. June 8, ltll
To the Editor:
At the December meeting ot the
Board of Agriculture there was ap
propriated $6*0 for prize* to the
boys of the state who made the moat
corn o& an aofe of ground. Rules and
regulations governing the contest
were sent to all applicants. Since
then there haa been subscribed bj
manufacturers of fertilizer* about
$500 more, making about $1,000 to
be given to" the boys who excel in
growing corn. In many counties
the number of boys entering the con
test haa beea diaappointlng. In view
of thla I am going to hold my books
open through the month of June,
and will enroll any boy of the right
age who sends In hiB application.
There la yet a fine opportunity fo?
some boy who has not entered to do
so and win a prise. There will be
about $100 worth of prize* to each
Boys Corn Club distlrct. Only 40
boys have sent in their applications
from the First District, as follows:
Camden. 1; Currituck. 0; Pasquo
tank, 9; Perquimans, 1; Chowan, B;
Washington -Tyrrell. 9; Hyde I;
Beaufort 18; Pamlico. 1.
So far Wilkes is the banner Corn
Club county ts the state. The ooun
ty superintendent ot that county. Mr.
?. C. Wright, has sent ln ^$S appli
cations. J nfl
K *t*V?rr essstr hi- the w?**4
to as well as Wilkes we "fould hare
more than 10.000 boys in the con
test studying corn growing and lay
ing the foundation for better and
more profitable farming against the
lay when they shall become men and
undertake the responsibilities thSy
?rill then assume. What a state, ag
riculturally. North Carolina might
become In a few years If we had 10,
000 of her best boys now studying
how to grow more corn and Incident
ally learning the foundation for bet
ter farming along all line*' Enough
county pride should possess every
progressive person In the district to
encourage t?lm tlrglve the movement
the benefit of' his or her influence.
Let the fathers and mothers of the
boys in the district encourage them
to enter the ' contest and see how
much corn they can grow on an acre.
The experience will be worth a
great deal, even though *h6y ahould
not win a prlae. Besldea. we hope
to continue thlp work, and II a bov
falls to get a prise this year he stands
a better chance of getting one next
vear If he enters the contest now
tahn If be waits until 1912 to enter.
I shall be pleased to s??iid blanks
to any boy who wishes to enter the
contest. Do not write ne to *?te"
