ADAMS DlJiS iN JtJUKKE COUNTY Mr. L A.

He was a member of the Methodist church, was a well known citizen and had hundreds of friends in this whole sec tion. He is survived by four chil dren -Mrs. Frye, with whom he made his home; Mrs. E. E. Hendley of Hickory and Messrs. Eugene and Ross Adams of Asheyille. The funeral was held Thursday af ternoon at 2:30 from Arney's chapel by the Rev. Mr. Carver of West Hickory.

In the first place, I think that the old school house is good enough. It is a sight better than the one 1 went. I to and I have managed to get along. it may De a little crowded at tuxes, but I read in the Ashaville paper on ly a few days ago that they had two pupils in one seat, and it looks to me that what is good enough for Ashe ville is good enough for Wlest Hickory. In the second place, I think mat! the taxes are already high enough, Wfe are all poor people up here vnd can't afford to pay high taxes. All our boy and girls (have (to work and I have seen many a one ruined by going to school too much. It makes them lazy and no account. It is no use to tell me, I have seen too many of them. When living is so high, I believe it is a sin to spend ten or twelve thous and dollars for something that won't bring in a cent. What in the world is the use of any man having a hundred dollar watch if one for five of ten dollars will kesp good time? I notice that about all the talk about a new school house is from the people who run the Ivey Mill and the Southern Desk Company. Of course the Ivey Mill Co. is willing enough to have a new building if somebody else will pay for it. I have heard something about the mill going to pay $2,000 toward it, but I believe this ,is all a bluff. When the election is over they will find some way to get out of it., As to the Southern Desk Co., any fool can see why they are in favor of a new school house. They want to sell some desks and blackboards. If J expected to make some money out of it, I would be in favor of it too. I don't believe the school trustees could spend that much money without wasting some of it, and West Hick ory hasn't got any to waste. It is just too big a job for this town, and I believe we ought to wait a few years before we undertake such big things. A CITIZEN. (Errors in coppy corrected. Ed.)

WILLIAM L. SAUNDERS Springfield Republican. It can be said for William L. Saunders, chairman of the naval con suiting board, whose sensational an nouncement that a successful defense against the submarine had been dis covered is regretted by his colleag ues, that he ranks very high in the engineering business in the world. Among the most notable business connections is that of president of the big Ingelsoll-Rand company, the Niew York imperial tool company, the Ingelsoll-Sergeant drill company, the Rand drill comparfl, the' Cameron steam pump works and that of direc tor of the International pneumatic tubes company, the Edison-Sauiiders compressed air company, the Ameri can international corporation and the International harvester company. A man having such a list of high-grade business connections and responsi- k;i;ia. nnnnnt. he dismissed as a .rank. Mr. Saunders is also an in ventor, for he invented an apparatus for drilling rock under water; aim he is also a specialist on compressed enterprise, having written a book on the subject. Perhaps after all his expert knowledge of under-water rock drilling and of compressed air forces has given him some insight in to the problem of fighting the U boat menace. In any event, he refuses to be pessimistic on the subject, and for that much he merits rh his confident an nouncement of results was certainly premature and doubtless unwar ranted in the present stage of exper imentation. Washington, May 11. President Wilson has created a "war council of the Red Cross" to direct relief work during the war, and made a public appeal for Red Cross contributions from "all those who can contribute either great sums or small to the alleviation of the suffering and dis tress which may inevitably arise out of this fight for humanity and de mocracy." The head of the "war council" is Henry P. Davidson of J. P. Morgan and Company, who said in accepting the post that all the vast facilities of the Morgan firm would stand behind the Red Cross for the duration of the war. Former President Taft, chairman of the Red Cross central committee, will serve with the council, whose other members are Charles D. Nor ton, Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., and Gray son M. P. Murphy of New York; Ed ward N. Hurley of Chicago and Eliot Wadsworth of Boston. Definite plans have not been made by Mr. Davidson and the other members of the conucil, but the preli minary step was taken "when tele grams were sent to the 600 chapters of the Red Crosl4 notifying them that a campaign soon would be un dertaken to raise money and get the work under way. "It is impossible to say how much money is going to be needed' said Mr. Davidson, "but it is going to be many millions of dollars. Just how we are going to get the money I don't know, but I have every confidence that the American people will re spond as never before and that we will get it. "I expect to devote practically all my time to the new assignment. I have enlisted. It is my bit, and I hope a great many more will regard a similar work as their bit. And I hope that no one will make the mis take of thinking that this is the or dinary work of alleviating suffering. It is that and more; it is an effective agency looking to winning the war." One of the first big things, he ad ded, will be to bring relief to thou sands of people in France left in pitiable poverty in the wake of the fighting armies. Tilling of the soil has been made impossible by the de struction of farming implements and the work of restoration will be not only an act of mercy, but a very practical aid in lessening the economic burden. The council expects to send to France and later to Russia and .other allied countries, seeds, and tools to enable non-combatants to re sume cultivation of the devastated districts. 'The work in America was not nr in imized, but Mr. Davidson will sug gest to the chapters of the Red Cross that it is not nearly so imme diate in its importance as that in Europe. The early despatch of an organiza tion to France to study condition and determine what should be done is contemplated.
