THE ROANOKE - CHOWAN TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1926
SECOND PAN AMERICAN
RED CROSS CONFERENCE
Bertie County Chapter was
highly honored by the invitation
extended its Chairman to attend
this remarkable meeting, held in
Washington City, May 25th to
June 6th, 1926,
It was my very great pleasure
to accept the invitation and ac
cordingly I spent ten days in
Washington in attendance upon
meetings, outings, sight seeing
and receptions.
Before I give a brief account
of this really greatest of all in
ternational gatherings, let me
say bow proud 1 was to hear so
many fine things said about our
Regional Conference held here
May 19th. Our own National
Organization officers gaye public
expression of their appreciation
of our meeting; and of the per
fect arrangements. Many of the
delegates wished to know how
so successful a meeting was held
in a small place. I told them to
come and see the next one. This
Pan American Conference was
composed of delegates from all
American countries and Islands;
North and South America, Cen
tral America, Cuba, Panama,
Mexico, Canada, Large dele
gations were present. I shall
ever cherish meeting these good
people. I came to know most of
them. Their difficulty in speak
ing English and my inability to
undeistand Spanish, Portuguese,
French or Mexican, made our
association at times very amus
ing. With most of them I was
aimply "La Rosa.”
Your space will not permit de
tails of the various business ses
sions which were held in Me
morial Continental Hall, the
gorgeous white marble building
on 17th Street, near the White
House; in the American National
Red Cross building and in the
Corcoran Gallery; both on 17th
Street, and very beautiful white
marble structures.
Monday morning, May 25th,
was devoted to Registration of
delegates, in the Red Cross
Building. This was of course
informal. The luncheon given
by the organization at noon that
day was the first chance the
delegates had of mingling to
gether and getting acquainted.
Nearly every body met every one
«l3e; at least I did. The Volunt
eer Service of the District Chap
ter served the luncheon.
The opening session in Con-
tinential Memorial Hall was a
brilliant assemblage; Judge John
Barton Payne, National Chair
man, presided. The United
States Navy Band played popular
airs and then swung grandly into
the "Star Spangled Banner”
which brought the audience to
their feet. President Coolidge
made the address of welcome;
which was supplemented by
Judge Payne and Dr. Leo S,
Rowe, Director General of the
Pan American Union. A re
sponse was made by every Re
public represented, by Canada
and by various representatives
of the Red Cross Societies of
Europe and Asia, and may be
other countries. The speeches,
in foreign languages, were trans
iated for us. Interpreters were
on hand every where translating
English into other ianguages.and
all into English, My efforts to
disregard interpreters and talk
to my Latin American and Mexi
can friends furnished them
amusement. The first day closed
with a brilliant reception and
dinner at the New Willard Hotel;
a dinner tendered by the League
of Red Cross Societies
The business sessions through
out the Conyention were unu
sually interesting. Various com
missions were in constant ses
sions considering "Red Cross
Organization and Publicity,”
"Disaster Relief Activities.”

office. The date of examination
will be stated on admission cards

Horse Fuel
The quantity of feed for the
work horse depends on the
amount of work done and on the
speed at which it is performed.
A horse requires considerably
more feed when working at the
trot than at the walk. A good
rale, says the U, S. Department
of Agriculture, is to allow 1 1 10
pounds of grain and 11-5 pounds
of hay per 100 pounds live weight
for horses at moderate work.
At this rate a 1,200 pound horse
would require 13 pounds of grain
and about 14 1 2 pounds of hay
per day. The horse at hard work
requires 1 1 4 to 11-3 pounds of
grain per 100 pounds live weigh*;
the hay fed, however, should j
not be more than 114 pounds |
per 100 pounds light weight. 1
The exact quantity will depei d
largely on the individuality of
each horse.
A teacher:; resolution
"I am resolved to like the com
munity in which my lot may be
cast; to be a part of the civic and
social life of the people; to be
free from local, political and other
antagonisms; to meet the parents
and the patrons openly and frank
ly; to give and take in my deal
ings with my fellow teachers; to
live free from professional jeal
ousy; to be too large to be self-
important or an autocrat or a
martinet: to base school manage
ment on sound principles, not on
policy, and to be firm and con
stant therein; to prepare myself
adequately on the whole, and
from day to day, to the end of
solid service; to cherish good
books and to seek companionship
of thoughtful and serious men
and women; to be alive as long
as I live; to have faith in child
ren, in God, and in myself; to
teach from the great book of
life as well as from school benks:
to be a helper and a leader, it
possible, without as well as with
in the school room; to touch the
lives of my pupils and to have
no favorites; to talk about things
and not people; to think and talk
ideas, not gossip; to have worthy
ideals in culture and conduct,
and to live up to them; to have a
larger purpose in teaching than
merely to teach for money or as
a makeshift to something better;
for to discover, to develop and to
set free the soul’s latent powers
is the greatest work of all; so
help me God, to take this resolu
tion to heart and thus be worthy
of my calling.” —John Meissner,
Supt of Schools. Willow Citv,
North Dakota.
^ No Worms in a Healthy Child ^
All children troubled with Worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.
Original Hay Maker
Man was not the originator of
haymaking The pika or cony, a
little rodent living in the raoun
tainous regions of th^* West, has
probably mad-* hay for his own
use for thou ands of years. He
cuts fine stemmed grasses, sed
ges, shrubs, and other plants,
bundles th-rn up and puts them
away in sheltered places among
rocks for curing. Because he
eats it himself he is more parti
cular than man and produces a
more uniform, fragrant, green
product.
Like peoph, when money isn't
working it gets shiftless, and ac
quires bad hnbits.

Saffron Skin
from Sour Bile
South Ckorgian Drives Out
Enormous (Quantity Sour
Bile with Dodson’s
Liver Tone
After a long period of the worst form
of weakness and the terrible feeling of
sickness that comes from a system loaded
with sour bile, Mr. Sam Puckett says:
“When I kept getting those bilious at
tacks reckon I took enough calomel to
kill a mule. Got worse all the time.
Finally I turned saffron color all over.
My wife happened to read about Dodson’s
Liver Tone in the Weekly Constitution,
so we drove to town and got a bottle.
It was like magic. It drove quarts of
sour bile out of me as black as ink. From
that day I have felt as if I had a new
liver, and whenever I begin to feel weary
and bilious, with no appetite, a dose of
Dodson’s Liver Tone puts me to rights.”
This wonderful, quick-action, liver
starter ought to be in every household, if
for no other reason than to stop the use
of dangerous calomel. Dodson’s Liver
Tone is pleasant to take, even for chil
dren, and never makes you sick.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who sells
it. A large bottle costs but a few cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and constipa
tion, you have only to ask for your
money back,
