It must also be so constructed that it can be kept constantly clean, otherwise germs will gather and not only destroy the food, but seriously menace the health of the family.

MANY SONG BIRDS BEING KILLED IN CITY, SAYS REPORT Residents of City Are Urged to Protect Song Birds by Not Putting Out Poison or Shooting Them. Alany complaints have been received at the of the Tribune of late, as to the promiscuous killing of song birds, /which add much cheerfulness to~ the Springtime and which are also very pretty. There are a number of different species of song birds which make their appearance in Concord in the Spring, among them being the Brown Thrasher and it is a great pity that they are 'being destroyed in the man ner in which they are. It seems that it is not the sparrow birds, that are being killed, but the birds of different colors, which are songsters. One resident of the city, said that a movement should be launched in the City and County to prevent the killing of these birds. Such a move ment would do much to aid in the protection of the bird. During the years 1923 and 1925, the Fine Aarts Department of the Woman’s Club, sponsored a bird-box building contest- in which many boxes were built and put. up in the trees and other places over the city. The result was that fewer birds were killed when they were protected in this man ner. The value of the bird-boxes was pointed out at various meetings of the Club. Alany birds are killed by poison which is often put; out for the sparrow, but it is not the poison which is causing the destruction of the singing bird, as much as it is the iboy with the air gun and the 22 calibre rifle. It seems that the son# bird is much easier to be hit because of its at tractive colors, and much easier to 'be found because it usually attracts at tention with its musical notes. ’ v > Revival at Kerr Street Methodist Church. We had a splendid congregation last evening for the beginning and we are expecting to have more thin evening at 7 :30. We aloo had a fine message brought to us by Rev. D. H. Rhine hart, of Albemarle, who is doing the preaching. The subject was “The Immutability of Christ.” The text was taken from , Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same I yesterday, today hnd forever. In the discussion of the subject it was brought out that the love of Christ is unchanging. The power of Christ is unchanging. The authority of Christ is unchang ing. Also other points and many help ful thoughts were brought out which were enjoyed, by all, and we are ex- j pecting another good message this eve ning. Thus if you cap come I feel sure you will feel well paid by the • time the message is delivered. We I extend a hearty welcome to one and all, Come.

NATION WILL HAVE AMERICAN FOREST WEEK THIS MONTH Will Endeavor to Teach Am erican Public Need of For est Preservation in This Country. The observance of .American Forest Week will be held this year, durng the period of April 24 to 30. Every year since 1920, the President of the United States, by proclamation lids fixed upon one week of the year, and asked that the importance of the care of our forests be thought about, and acted upon. 1 This week is set aside with the hope that thought and study on the care Os our forests will be observed every where. But, it is iu the South ami far West where this observance is most needed, as these sections hold about three fourths of all the saw timber that is left, in this country. Therefore, the parts of the country where the raw material has been de stroyed, or where it never grew, de pend to great extent upon the Sqnth and West to supply the demand. , The reason for American Forest Week is that the whole country Is very much interested in the w r ay our forests are being used, and what is being produced from them. Also that land that should be producing timber is not, at least «not as much as it should, and this condition should be changed\; and that it is a job which concerns everyone, and one in which everyone should take a part. American Forest Week has a defin ate and practical purpose, and its ob servance is held with the intention of helping everyone to discover that they can help in some way to protect our valuable forests.

WOOD, OF CHARLOTTE i ADDRESSES ROTARY /s. AND KIWANIS CLUBS Speaker Tells of Advantages Section of Country Will Have With Branch of Fed- I eral Reserve Bank Near. Stating that the branch bank of the Federal Reserve Bank, which has recently been secured for Charlotte, j will be of great value to both the ( banks and the business men of this’ section of the country. Word H. Wood, i president of the American Trust Comp any of Charlotte, addressed the mem bers of -the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs at a joint meeting held Wednes- [ day at Hotel Concord. Mr. Wood was introduced by C. li. Wagoner, president of the Citizen’s Bank and Trust Company. Air. Wag oner said that it was largely through the efforts of Air, Wood that the branch bank was secured for Char lotte. In speaking of the efforts that have been' - made over a period of seven years to secure a branch bank of the Federal Reserve System for this sec tion of the country, Mr. Wood said that for some time the business men of this section did not fully realize Hint they had a right to have the branch hank, but that they were now beginning to realize their rights and had done so to such an extent that with their aid such a bank had been secured for Charlotte. “It is very important and very encouraging that business men are taking more rtnd ijnore lively and active interest in this branch bank. “The Federal Reserve System is not primarily for banks, but for the busi ness >people who deni with them.. The banks are the agencies that clear busi ness rhnt you business men create. The htoportant men of the country are the men who create business. The success of the branch bank for Char lotte will depend to a large extent on the business people of this section/' Mr. Wood said. “Xo one man deserves credit for any big move,” Air. Wood said in speaking of who deserved credit for securing the branch bank for Char lotte. “Any good man could have been the leader of the movement, and suc ceeded with public opinion with him. Many men have contributed to the work. Among those working to secure the bank could be named : former Gov ernor Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte ; Robert Lassiter, ( of Charlotte; Hon. F. M. Simmons, of Xew Bern, United States Senator. J. W. Xorwuod, of Greenville, S. C.; D. H. Blair, com missioner of Internal ltevehue; Hon. A, L. Bulwinkle, of Gastonia, con gressman from the ninth congression al district. l • «*j “The Federal Reserve system ,1s the greatest banking system in the world. Bankers from England, where they are supposed to haVe unusually good banking systems, have come to the United States to study the system. When it was first organized the New York bankers were against it. The Wall Street Journal which -was op posed to it at first now says that it is the greatest system ip the world. We will never have another ‘money panic’ in this country. The Federal Reserve system meets a depressiorf in an effective way with comparatively little effort. “The plan of organization for the Federal Reserve system is ideal for this country. Senator Carter Glass and Woodrow Wilson worked out the system, the most practical one in the world. The wisdom of it is remark able. First there were twelve ’parent banks’ over the country and the act said that branch banks could be open ed wherever a branch would be justi fied.” “One of the greates benefits and purposes of the Federal Reserve system is the clearing of all checks quickly,” the speaker declared. “All the cheeks in the immediate territory, and there is a vast volume of them, will be sent through the Charlotte branch instead of through Richmond and, it has been figured out that one day’s saving in clearing through Charlotte instead of Richmond would mean that one day’s interest at 6 per cent for a year would amount to over $500,000. It can be cleared through Charlotte in two days whereas before it has taken three to send through Richmond. “The saving of time in currency mat ter and getting currency is an import ant one. Before, this currency has been gotten from Richmond but with the opening of the Charlotte branch the banks of this section can get it several times a day if necessary. The Federal Reserve District we are in includes portions of several states. Xorth and South Carolina are 51 per cent of the land area of the district. It is also the most important in farm ing and the State of North Carolina ranks seventh in the United States in value of farm' products and South Carolina also ranks high. “In bringing the machinery of the Federal Reserve system through the branches It brings it nearer the busi ness men and will be a convenience to them in handling their money and checks. “We should look upon the Charlotte branch as our branch. Several of the cities of tiie two Carolinas applied for the bank but it was secured for Charlotte. Charlotte is near the .mid dle of the section to be served by the bank, it had more financial resources and more banks did business through Charlotte so the Queen City secured it. Seven banks of Charlotte and banks over the Carolinas will make use of the Charlotte Branch ißank. “The Branch Bank in Charlotte should be looked upon as a Carolina institution, should be looked upon with ipride and should have the support of i the people of this section. One impor- Itant part in the success of the Bank i will be the number of banks we can get to join the Federal Reserve system. There are about 800 banks in the state and a comparatively small number of them have joined the Federal system. , Those who have-not joined it should come in and thus support the new Branch Bank.” “We had pleasure .in working to get the branch in Charlotte and we will get pleasure Hand benefit from the pos session of it,” Air. Wood said in con . elusion. - ( COUNTY FARMERS ATTEND MEETING AT STATESVILLE County Farm Agent R. D. Goodman and Number of Farmers Attend Sheep Raisers Meeting.
