BETTER HOMES CAMPAIGN Time Extended to Inctade the Month of May, Mrs. Outer Stotts. ~ j This, April 24th to May let, is the week nationally of * the “Better Homes in America” demonstrations, . Owing to the fact that the commit- i tee in Cabarrus was not able to get a j house for demonstration this week, this county was kindly extended a i lease of time. It is hoped the house expected will be ready to open to the public the last week in May. Committees have been appointed to take care of all phases of the work. These committees will be notified and called into consultation and ac tivity very soon. This matter of “Better Homes” is a big job. Not a one man's job by any means. It takes us every one. It is a vital project, this of bettering the home life. And what home life cannot be bettered? “A Better Home for each Child in Cabarrus” is our slogan, and the com mittee means to let the county be heard from on this issue. MRS. D. B. CASTOR.

MORE THAN QUOTA FOR RELIEF FUND HAS BEEN RAISED Residents of Cabarrus Coun ty Are Making Good Re sponse to Plea For the Flood Victims. Announcement was made today that the in to the Cabarrus county chapter of Red Cross to be sent to the national chapter of the American lied Cross to be used in caring for the needs of the thousands who were made home less in the flood areas of the Mis sissippi River valley. ' The Cabarrus eotinty chapter of the lied Cross, with Aim. XV. A. Foil an: ij chairman, was assigned a quota of SI,OOO to be raised as a relief fund. Following the announcement of tin quota to be raised tin* residents of the county began to respond with the result that within three days the quota was passed. It is thought by : the officials collecting* the fund for the Red Cross that in all probability Cabarrus eounty residents will con tinue to contribute and make the fund for the county much larger than Un quota asked. The city of Concord has turned in $1,122.70; Mt. Pleasant has given $102.50, and Kannapolis has sent in $l5O. “We certainly appreciate the re sponse that we have received from the residents of Cabarrus county in making this drive to provide money ’ to care for the needs of the people of the flood stricken district of the country,” one of the Red Cross chap ter officials said toduy. He stated that according to reports from the flood areas carried in the press that the number killed and made homeless was getting larger each day and that . the money contributed here would be put to use where it would do the most good.

Before lie Jittd completed pay , meats on the ring, one of the babies died: and to pay (or the funeral ex penses lie sold the ring, though of course it waa not his to sell as tie} had not yet fully paid for it.

Forest Fire Losses Big in Other > States. Extremely bad fire conditions in . the forests of Eastern United States affected other states in as great pro portions, as they did North Caro lina, according to reports of various I state departments- Pennsylvania, one of the nrst states to recognize the importance of the protection of the forests aui which also has. one of the largest and most proficient forest (services re ported fire damages of $1,180,420.05 for 1920. the worst year known dur ing the period of recofds available here. Diu'ug the same period there were r< nor ted damages amounting to $1,133,151 in the protective area of North Carolina. Pennsylvania si>ent $177,353.41 in suppressing these tires, AvhiTe there avos expended by this State only $23,254.42 in the rame work. Foresters account for the general heavy (oil of forest, fires as the. ex treme dryne.s of the weather during the year. As a resu’t. of this condi tion, making the Avoods more suscep tible to flames, the same average cause« naturally resulted in a larger number of fires. The aim toAA-ar:l which the various forest services are working \s the elimination of fires ex cept through natural causes and a .minimum area and damage affected through the destroyer of forests. I Executions Not Popular Among Par don Powers. Raleigh, April 24.—The electrocu- ; 1 inn "f Ernest Walker Friday brought out (lie fact that these scenes are ex- j jtiTm-Lu,unpopular with the men who’ 'have final say about whether condemn ed men shall feel the death , current or not. , Governor McLean has never A\it neased an electrocution. Hoyle Sink has never seen one in this state, and Edwin W. Bridges, who will succeed Sink ps pprdort commissioner, says lie never has and never intends to unless he has to. These facts Avere unearthed by an inquisitive newspaperman, witness of more than n dozen electrocutions, after he noticed tlie'v absence, of those who handled the condemned man’s final pleas. % * HI WINS FROM I WINECOFF HERE WEDNESDAY P. M. : Game Slow But Good Brand f | of Baseball Played.—Lo-j cal Team Goes to Char-j lotte For Game Friday. By JOE PIKE In a slow but well played game, j the Concord Higbd defeated the Wine- j coff Highs on Webb Field to tlie tune [ of sto 3. The Winecoff team as u j whole looked very weak in the outfield and let severaWgo through that went for runs. Stone played a very good game at shortstop and Misfenheimer pitched extra' good ball, striking out ten men. * The Concord Highs seems to know , nothing about the defeat column. They | have won eight, tied one and lost J tAVo. The team is hitting everything j that comes over the platter and the majority of them are going for extra j base hits. Two home ruiui by Coch-! rane and Melehor and two base hits i by Kestler and Duke* were mainly re- j sponsible for Winecoff‘s defeat. Black- j welder is still out with an injured j shoulder and Hunter did very well for • the first time in the catcher’s box. j All pitchers are in extra good form and Irvin was very effective yester day. The Highs will journey to Charlotte Friday to connect up A\ith the Char lotte Highs for the district champion-' ship of the state championship. With the team working as it has, Charlotte should not be allowed a smell and Ave all hope that they will not. The winner of this district group will more than likely determine the western champion and that is a great honor. Summary: Home runs, Cochran, Melehor. Tavo base hits, Kestler, Duke. Burrage, J.
