Next Sunday, April 30, is Go-to-Church Day in Monroe MONROE JO PUBLISHED TWICE EACH WEEK TUESDAY AND FRIDAY Twenty-Ninth Year. N6T23. Monroe, N. C, Tuesday, April 25, 1922. $2.00 Per Year Cash IE URNAL GREAT ORGANIZATION WAS EFFECTED HERE LAST NIGHT Monroe Advertising Club Seeks to Es tablish Close Relations Between Farmers and Business Men AUCTION SALE AND GOLDEN RILE SALE DAYS OBSERVED Officers Elected and Times Set for These Big Events Mr. Lowe and Mr. Roberteon Addressed Meeting The Advertising Club of Monroe was organized in the Chamber of Commerce rooms here last night with the following officers: Allen Lee, president: W. J. Rudge, vice-president; C. W. Orton, secrtary and treas urer. Various commitees w.H be ap pointed later. At a business men's supper Mr. A. E. Robertson, development agent for the Seaboard Air Line railway, and Mr. Gurney R. Lowe, of Neosho, Mis- mAAromA tha mpetinir and Mr. BVUIIj . V. uuv . - - w Lowe presented the Neosho plan of advertising, ana eneciea me organi sation. Mr. Lowe said that pep, en ergy and initiative behind any town or city will make it a success. He gave each of these three things a 60 per ceitt rating, making a total of one hundred and fifty per cent, which is about one hundred per cent more than a great many towns have, because of the fact that the pep, energy and in itiative are lacking. The plan consists, briefly, of three features, Community Auction Sale, Merchants and Farmers Get-Together and the Golden Rule Sale. The idea of Auction Sale Day is to have one day in each month set apart farmers who have surplus farming implements, stock. reed may bring these things to Mon roe where an auctioneer will be pro vided to sell them to somebody who An am naAii I ham. It i believed that UWS IV U w..v.". mw - - when farmers and others thoroughly understand tnat a certain aay in me month is ret apart for this purpose and that there will be Jbig crowds on hand to buy these things, it will af ford a splendid opportunity for a sav ing to farmers on surplus equipment, stock, cattle, etc., that will be worth . thousands of dollars to them. The Get-Together idea is one In tended to better acquaint farmers of Monroe with each other . and to establish closer friendship and co-operaiion Deiween them. A program for this phase of 4 Via urnrV will h .worked out and ar rangements made for local business men and community iarmera 10 meet in a social way, perhaps at different farms in the community. At these meetings it is planned to have some one familiar witn iarming ana live stock-raising to address the farmers nJ Kminps. men in mass meeting and other features of entertainment will probably 'be provided. lJ tki m Auction Kale Da VI the merchants and other business men of the town will offer special values In the various lines or mercnanaise mat will enable the people to buy goods at . ..vino In thia wav the trade lines of Monroe can be extended and the plan will work to the mutual Den ofit of both farmers and merchants. Mr l.num pvnlained that in this i. i , day when the dollar mark is hung in front of every man's eyes, we too 01 ten neglect the sooial side of l'fe and that fiolinir nf fripndshin and ZOOd will one toward another needs stim ulating. To illustrate what narmony and good" will tnay accomplish, he told a story of a man and his wjfe who had a "spat" one Sunday morn ing before starting to church. On their way to preaching the wife de ,.AoA that .h must tret her husband in good humor before reaching the house ol worsnip. ane noiicea now smoothly and harmoniously the horses were pulling together hitched to the surrey. Turning to her husband she remarked: "John, isn't it a pity that you and I cannot go through life pull jntr cmnnthlv like these horses go." John gritted his teeth but refused to answer, but alter tne question nan been put the third t:me, he renlied: "Well, if we just had one tongue be tween us like the horses have we could." The application was made that when farmers and local business men learn that their interests are mutual they will pull together smoothly Instead of entertaining the idea that they are separate units who have seprarate interests. Mr. Lowe displayed a chart on which was printed the word "Service" and explained that each letter in that word stands for something and that the combined words for which these letters stand are "Satisfaction, Effi ciency, Reciprocity, Values, Integrity, Confidence and Energy." With these seven words as a goal, it will be pos sible to build a relationship, between the rural residents and the inhabi tants of any town or city that will work to the mutual benefit to all con cerned. , ' , - The time set for Auction Sale Day and Golden Rule Sale is the first Monday in each month and the first of these tales will probably be held in Monroe on the first Monday in June. Mr. Armstrong Sella Hotel Union county citiiena will b in terested in the announcement that Mr. A. A. Armstrong has sold his interest in the Gastonia Hotel Com pany, and that Mr. J. A. Griffith has assumed the management of the Ar lington hotel, of which Mr. Arm strong hs been manager for several years. Mr. Armstrong is a son-in-law of Girt, and Mrs. S. H. Green of Monroe, lie has made no announce ment as to his future plans. TO MAKE UNION VILLE A STANDARD HIGH SCHOOL Movement on Foot to Enlarge the Building and Truck in Studenta from Other Districts A movement is being launched for the establishment of a standard high school at L'nionville, running for eijcht consecutive months in the year. The rroio.ition is being presented by Mr. Ray Funderburk, county superin tendent of fcchouls, and provides for an addition to the present high school building in L'nionville of four class rooms across the front of the build ing with well-proportioned coiumns to add to the beauty and symmetry of the building. Brief, Belmont niA Jerome districts will then be asked to co-operate in providing fundi for carrying on trucks the high school students of these districts to the L'nionville school, where plenty of hiirh school teachers are to be em ployed to take care of the situation. It is pointed out tnat there nr.' about forty high school student in the Brief, Belmont, and Jerome dis tricts and that they can all be car ried to' the Unionville school in one truck at very little expense. itb the forty-five high school students already in the Lnionville district the ones from these other districts tfill make a large and interesting student body. Union county has applied for her proportionate part of the state loan fund for the aid of rural schools and the erection of buildings of not less than five rooms. This loan is to bear interest at the rate of not mora than five per cent and is payable within twenty years? With the aid of this fund it is believed that the proposi tion to make Unionville an accredited h'gh school and accommodate the out lying districts . can be successfully put over. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Funderburk and Miss Cooper and the splendid teachers that have been em ployed the schools of the county have, from all reports, done better work the past term than in many years, ind the tireless work- they have put into the county commencement is largely responsible for the most in teresting and most successful event of the kind the county has had. Han lling the school work of the county n its growing and progressive state s no easy job, but it seems to be -.he opinion of many in close touch with educational interests that those who have this most important of all work have performed their duties in an efficient and pains-taking manner, and the movement to make Union ville a standard high school and thus Provide adequate educational advan ages, for the northwestern half of joose Creek township will doubtless meet the hearty approval of the citi zens of that section. NEXT SUNDAY IS GQ TO CHURCH DAY IN MONROE All the Churches of the City are Be hind the Movement and Record Breaking Crowds Expected Next Sunday, April 80th, will be "Go-lo-Church Day" in Monroe. AH the congregations of the city are co- opera, mg in the movement, and an effort w 11 be made to induce every man, woman and child in Monroe who is able to do so to attend some church on that day. The Presbyterians who are without a pastor at present have made arrangements to have pteaching in their chjrch next Sunday and there will be services at all the churches in the city. Monroe is a church-going city and there is the very best feeling of unity and good will one toward the other amon? the varioui denominations. It is believed, that with a special effort, next Sunday can be made a record breaking event in church attendance, ani tti3 pastors and religious worker3 of the various denominations are very anxious that everybody attend some church next Sunday.- . At Church Next Sunday If I knew you and you knew me. How little trouble, there would hi, We pass each other on the street, But ju.st come out and let us meet, At church next Sunday. Each ona intends to do what's fair, And treat his neighbor on the square, But he may not quite understand Why you don't take him by the hand At church next Sunday. The world is sure a busy place, And we must hustle in the race. For social hours some are not free The six week days, but all should be At church next Sunday. We have an interest in our town, The dear old place must not go down We want to push good things along. And we can help some if we're strong At church next Sunday.

C. Austin's big dairy and feed barn, together with contents, sixty-three fine cows and ten shoats were destroyed by fire one mile west of Marshville Friday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock.o'The total loss is around $30,000.00, with fifteen to twenty thousand insurance. Mr. Austin is the pioneer Guernsey breeder of this section of the state. He is a member of the National Guernsey Breeders' Association and is official registrar of Guernsey cat tle in this section. He had in his herd six Guernseys for which he paid one thousand dollars each. Fifty-five reg istered Guernseys and eight grades went up in the flames that destroyed Mr. Austin's big barn Friday. Thirty four of these fine cows would iave been fresh within a few weeks. In addition to the Guernsey cows, ten fine registered O. I. C. shoats were so badly burned that three have already died and the others are not expected to survive. Mr. Austin estimates that the shoats were worth something like $25 each. The large barn, 170x220 feet, was filled with feed stuff and the silo had a. quantity in it, tne total loss of the feed being about $7,000. The barn was worth about $15,000, being modern in every respect in clud ng cement floors in the dairy de partment. Mr. Austin also lost his manure spreader, wagon scales, two wagons, one buggy, car of lime and his dairy equipment, the value of all of which is about $1,000.

Frank Lewis, an alleged kidnapper and out law, was arrested here this week, and today was. taken back to Morganton by a deputy sheriff from that county, who was sent here after the man, who came to thia city the first of April, being accompanied by a little ragged, barefooted girl of 11 sum mers. She was taken to the home of a poor but christian-hearted woman. Lewis put up the plea that the child had been placed in his care by her simple mountain grandparents, ex plaining further that he desired to .lothe, educate and care for the little waif just as if she were his own. The good woman took the little one into her home and provided sustenance, but soon her suspicions were aroused by the action of the stranger, and the department of public welfare was notified. -That office, after completing a thorough investigation of the case and having the little girl examined by the county physician, instructed the good woman to, hold the child safely in her home, not allowing her escort to wander farther with her un til notified by welfare officers. . Immediately a detailed record of the case was communicated to D. A. Johnson, sheriff of Burke county, the former home of the runaways. A promnt reply from Burke's sheriff en closed transportation expenses for the little girl back to Morganton, stating chat during the last days of March ha child had been stolen from her mountaineer grandparents; they, or he Burke county officers, had neith er succeeded in obtaining trace of the rirl until the information from ror iyth county was received. This reply was speedily followed by a telegram from Sheriff Johnson empowering Winston-Salem officers co arrest, if possible, the kidnapper and- general outlaw, Frank Lewis, who was being sought by other coun ties for possibly two additional charges.' Lewis was promptly re marked to the county jail, where he remained until escorted in irons bark to Burke county by Deputy Sheriff B. C. Bright, of Morganton. The good Samaritan down in the slums had learned to love the helpless little girl, and it was with tears that she saw her go from the door of her home back to the little mountain house somewhere. On Thursday, clothed from head to foot in the newest, prettiest gar ments she had ever known, the little mountain girl was helped by a welfare- officer safely in the care of the Southern railway conductor, to re main in his keeping until he -should deliver her into the car of her wait ing grandparent at Morganton. Plausible A minister was to conduct the fun eral of a gentleman, a stranger to him, and thinking to glean a useful hint or two touching the character of the deceased, asked his little son: "Can you tell me what were ' r father's last words?" "He didln't have any-l?.!: wo.vl.' responded the lad. "Ma was w U!i him to the last." after a cow trade when his property was destroyed and there was nobody at home except Mrs. Austin and some of the mall children. Mr. Austin's little daughter, Edna, had been to ths barn to look for eggs and came very near being caught in the flames as slie enurged from the burning build ing. Neighbors who first discovered the 'fire say that the flames were shooting out at the back of the barn loft. It is not known how the fire originated. A Delco lighting system is used but Mr. Aust'n doesn't be lieve it caught from thaC Mr. Austin does an extensive dairy business and he has kept his cows up all the spring to keep them away from wild onions and weeds and in order to restock his pastures with &rais and this is responsible for their sing in the building at the time it was burned. For twenty years Mr. Austin has been in the cattle business and for the past ten yean he has been a breeder of Guernseys. He has stocked the eastern part of the coun ty with this fine breed of cattle and ! it is estimated that there are at least 1600 Guernseys in that section. He J states that he will rebuild his barn and buy more Guernseys at an early date. Mr. Austin had the largest jherd of Guernsey cattle in the state and citizens of the county will learn with interest that he will continue j in the business. I It was a gruesome scene that pre ! sented itself after the flames had sub i sided. The charred bodies of sixty ; three fine Guernsey cows and the j smell of burn flesh porduced a feel- ing of sympathy and awe that is sel jdom witnessed. Mr. Austin made a flat on which to remove the burnt - forms of the cows and it took all day i Saturday to haul them to a large gul j ley nearby where they were dumped '. and covered with dirt. ! PLANS FOR BIG TIME I NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT ' Children's Week Being Observed by ! Methodist and Baptist Congrega- tions of the City Children's Week has been set aside tiwmrhntift Nnrth Amriia a. thi . v u n . . ------ - " ( - - itiiic -nmi .. a mil. a all thinking people in the community shall have brought to their attention the importance of the religious edu cation of children. During this week the elementary teachers of the local church are asked to visit the homes connected with the local church schools and to present there the claims of religious education. Through this and other means of publicity and in co-operation with pa rents and church leaders, the week will find its climax in a church school meeting to be held in Central Metho dist church Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. W. R. Burrell will have charge of the parents' meeting in the main auditorium, while the children will be entertained in the basement by story-telling and other wholesome forms of amusements. The Methodist and Baptist congre gations will unite in this meeting and ; members of the other churches of the city are also invited to attend. The ! following paragraph from, the Ladies ; Home Journal explains very clearly I the necessity for such a program: ! The overwhelming responsibility ; for building a new world rests on the I children of today, twenty-five mll- ' lion American boys and girls. If they I be not clean-eyed, Dure of heart and courageous unto death, tomorrow is cataclysm. Juvenile crime, the child pervert of eight, the immoral girl of thirteen, the bandit gang of boys in their toens, thirfeen million American t children without ethical or religious I nstruction of any kihd is this the i loose and violent mob to which we ( are to pin our hopes for a new Ameri ca and a new world? And what of the , twelve million other children whose 'spiritual nurture is l'mited to thirty j minutes out of ten thousand minutes i a week a half hour sandwiched in , between a belated preaching service land an American Sunday dinner? Has j religious education no finer and larg ier place in their lives? Children's Week is strategic for Protestant, Catholic and Jew alike. It holds eight days for the evaluation of child life, when homes, schools, churches and communities are to work together; to arrange mass meetings, to organize festivals of song, pagean try, pictures, Story-telling, to conduct surveys and exhibits, to parade to the music of children's voices and the zigzeg of their pennants. Reunloa at Wingate At the request of many of the for mer studenta, we have arranged for a reunion of teachers and students of the Wingate .School for May 4, 1922, this being the first day of our com mencement. At 10:30, Judge -Walter E. Brock, a former student of this school will deliver the'address of the occasion, while teachers and repre sentatives of classes are expected to make brief addresses. This exsre's; will be followed by dinner on the grounds. L"t all te ichers and former 5.u:!eTits niaks Special preparation to b; with us and add to the pleasure of this happy occasion- C. M. BEACH, Principal. DR.ABERNETHY PREACHED A FINE SERMON SUNDAY Told Graduating ( lass That If They Want Gold They Must Dig For It Other Marshville ,Nes Marshville, April 24. As stated in The Journal last week thete was a rumor that one of the judges in the niiteis' contest of the county com mencement finals had aided the win ner, which one that ailu.led to we did not know, was not stated, but it was a mistake, a-" all disclaim knowing the young lady. It is a pity the error was made. All may rt member that we gave it the benefit of a doubt. We often hear the expression of "going back to your first love," and in so often" harping back to the old Blue Back Speller, we seem to verify the saying, for we have the spelling matches from that book, and the nev er-dying old proverbs like the one about ths farmer and the lark. Now we come poking up with the old, old, one, "To see the sun is pleasant," but who in the world can keep from say ing it after all the rainy, dark, cool days of last week. Then the lovely Thursday and Friday, when every thing looked so clear and bright, the rich green mingling with the red, pink and white blooms as if getting ready for May. On this Thursday evening the reciter's and declaimer's contests of Marshville high school were held, and while all did well, only one from the respective contests could get the medal. Miss Sarah Blair won in the reciter's, and Master Haskil Bivens won in the declaimer's contest. Friday evening the annual debate came off. The question, "Resolved that capital punishment shoud be abolished in North Carolina," was won by the affirmative, Mr. Conley Baucom winning the medal. Sunday afternoon the annual ser mon was preached in the Presbyteri an church by Dr. J. E. Abernethy of Charlotte to a large congregation. There are six graduates in the graduating class. The music was rendered by a choir from the school and was very good indeed. Dr. Abernethy's sermon was fine, and all the way through was filled with thoughts to stir the ambition and energy of the student to higher things and to encourage those of slower abil ity by holding up before them the achievements of great and noted men. Dr. Abernethy said the need of the world today is men up-right, down right, out-right, and all-right. He sought to impress in them that to have gold they must dig for it that is, to be anything, one must put forth push and determination to work for it. He also showed them that char acter a good character, was to be sought and prized. Many friends were here to greet the speaker and give him a welcome and thank him for his sermon. Among these were quite a number from Monroe, where he was formerly pastor. While the huge barn of Mr. J. C. Austin's was burning Friday a light wind was blowing and pieces of tin and cinders were scattered a long distance. Some of it fell on the roof of the wood house of Mrs. Irene Marsh, a mile away and caught on Are the shingles. Had it not been for the assistance of a man gardening within a few feet who saw -it and put it out no doubt there would have been another fire. The song service that was to have been given at the Presbyterian church last Monday evening was postponed till last Sunday evening and was con sidered very interesting and helpful. A large congregation was in attend ance. Miss Lucy Leonard and Messrs My ron and Berge Green of Hartsville spent the week-end at their respective homos here. Miss I la Tittman spent the week end with Miss Otis Marsh. Miss Sadie Moore is spending a few days with Mrs. Irene Marsh. Mr. and Mrs. James Marsh spent Friday in Charlotte. Mr. J. J. McBride of Cherryville spent the week-end hers. Messrs. W. C. Griffin. C. D. David son, C. B. Braswell and J. U Bivens spent Sunday visiting in Mt. Holly. Mr. W. B. Love and family, Mr. L. E. Huggins and family, Mrs. L. E. Sutton and children, Mrs. G. M. Gar rison and son, and Dr. E. S. Hamilton of Charlotte spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. James Marsh. Mr. Plummet- Stewart of Charlotte was .a "visitor hire Sunday. Mr. D. M. Abesnethy of Charlotte spent Sunday here. Prof. R. D. Marsh of Pageland spent Sunday here. Miss Miller of Pageland wad also here Sunday. Cash Bonus Decided Upon by Republicans Washington, April 22. An ade quate cash bonus will be paid former service men, Republican members of the senate finance committee decided today. Six of the ten majority members of the committee discussed the house soldiers' bonus bill in a preliminary way, it waa announced, and the con sensus of opinion among them was that unless a substantial cash bonus U provided for, there would be small necessity of speeding the enactment of bonus legislation. - President Harding's demand for a cash bonus bill with the sales tax o finance it was presented by Son-a.oi- Watson of Indiana, who con leired with the President on the bonus problem Thursday.

Every available man and team and every piecs of levee building machin ery in the entire central sector of the river will be at work tomorrow in the effort to prevent a break in the line of embankments. Thousand of men are carrying on the fizht at a half dozen or more points in the central river stretches where trouble developed or weakness threatened Saturday other thousand will be adu'cJ to the forces. Reports from MisL'&ippi, Arkansas and Ten nessee points tonight said farming operations in the threatened regions wil come to a virtual standstill Sat urday, in oriler that every man pos sible can be r.dded to the flood-fight ing army.

Caving at the river bank outside of the levees near Tunica, Miss., last right and today has brought the river at that point to within 100 teet of the center of the embank ment. Hundreds of men are at work there tonight, constructing a dike. which L. C.
