SENATE FELICITATES PRESIDENT WILSON Snjs It's ;liul to Hear That UN Health is Belter HI" OOth liiUmlay Wrihlnpton, Dec 28. Friends of Woodrow Wilson who aro raising a $1,000,000 fund for the perpetuation of his ideals, celebrated his 66th l)lrihd.i today by sending him word, throuuh a Jclepatlon which called at his S. street home, that the succes3 of their movement was assured. At the same time, the senate adopted a resolution offered by Sen ator Harris, democrat, Geoipla, ex pressing "pleasure and Joy" at his recovery toward health. ThP reso lution was put through quickly with a chorus of ayes from the demo cratic side of the chamber, many of the republican senators, ensrosv ed In other matters, apparently pay In c no attention to its purport. Senator Harris In presenting the resolution soon after the Senate con vened pointed out that today was the CSth birthday of the former presi dent, spoke of the many telegrams of congratulation and felicitation pouring in nt the Wilson home here, and said it seemed proper and fitting that the senate add its tribute. Unanimous consent for Immediate consideration of the resolution was asked by Senator Harris and no ob jection being offered the resolution was passed before some senators who had been engrossed a few min utes before In listening to President Harding'B letter to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, on the Borah world economic conference proposal realized what it was all about. The text of the resolution follows: "Whereas, the senate has heard with great pleasure the announce ment of the rapid recovery to good health of former President, Honor able Woodrow Wilson, be it. "Resolved, that the vice president be requested to convey to the Hon orable Woodrow Wilson the pleasure and Joy of the senate of the United States because of his rapid recovery to good health." The former president spent his birthday quietly. For an hour or more a group of men and women stood in the rain !n front of his home hoping that he might appear to greet them, but all they saw of the war-time President was a glimpse of him as he drove off in his limousine late in the day for his dally ride. During the day messages of felici tation came to Mr. WlUon from all parts of the world. A few close friends called to extend greetings, the delegation representing the Woodrow Wilson foundation arriving at, 3 o'clock, for a 40-mlnute visit. In the group were Hamilton Holt, and Mrs. Charles E. Slmonson, of New York City. Mrs. J. Malcolmn Forbes, of Boston, and Miss Caroline Ruuts-Rees. of Greenwich.

THREE MEN EATEN BY TIMBER WOLVES Pert Arthur Ont., Dec. 27. A great roving band of hungry timber wolves has devoured three men, ac cording tc miigre reports sifting in today froi.i the snow covered trails of the Sturgeon river country. These reports told oi a losing bnttle fought by two Indians after a white trapper had been downed and killed. Last Saturday an elderly trapper left his cabin in the woods 70 miles north of Ignace to muah down to the settlement for his Christmas mail. He arrived in safety. There was no mail, however, and the old man said he would come back Christmas morning. At noon he had not arrived. The postmaster sent two Indians to follow the trail until they found him. About two miles from the settle ment the Indians found a spot pounded down in the snow and crim son hued. Bits of dog harness torn to shreds were scattered about. In the midst of them the Indians found human bones. They hastened back to report the discovery. The lure of the bounty on wolves, however, urged tne Indians to iaxe the trail again with extra ammuni tion. They sped behind their dog team into the woods as the villagers waved goodbye. They did not return. Yesterday a new searching party )nirlal Thpv fminH nnlhpr natrh trodden in the snow about two miles beyond the first.

Third Christmas Dinner of the 1'iffg Family The Pisg family held their third Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Pigg, near Brief, on December 25th. It is held every year in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Pigg. There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Pigg seven children, three boys and .'our girls. The children are all liv ing but one, who died fifteen years ago of cancer. The only excercise cf the day was a Christmas tree. Each of their chil dren and grandchildren presented to Mr. and Mrs. Pigg a present after a a picnic dinner was served. On Christmas every sane human being who has been taught the Christian faith turns bitterly or contentedly, sorrowfully or happily, toward thought of the great birth day. The thrill of its beauty return to them. Some memory of childhood association wth it will touch them; some desire to pass it on to their own children urges them. The day will never be when any of the family new living will see again such a Christmas day as the one which cols ed Monday when the dying sun sank behind the western hills, gave a raise on the sky purple and yellow. A win ter day, it was shot to the heart with sunshine.

Various committees neceM-ary .o the organization of the college tn a basis ot standards out lined by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools were appointed at the meeting. Fifteen members ot the board of trustees, including men from Wadesboro, Con cord, were present for the first session. Prof. C .M. Beach will go to Ral uth and Wake Forest early in Jan uary to caiisult with leaders relative to employ:::,; tr.e additions to the fa culty whicii will os necessary in add ing the two jears of college work to curriculum, i lans discussed by the trustees yes cniay called for a facul ty of 10 me. libers for both the high school and oiisge departments. The name ot ihe "Wingate Junior College" was definitely decided upon for the institution. Members of the board of trustees at the meeting pointed out that the original Baptist school in the community had been named in honor of Dr. Wingate, one of the famous presidents of Wake Forest college, and that it would be appropriate that the name be con tinued. As a junior college offering two years of standard college work, the institution will have a field of in fluence covering the Piedmont sec tion, it was pointed out by the trus tees. The establishment of the col lege is in keeping with the plans of the Baptist denomination to place a junior college in direct reach of ev ery part of the state. In the west there is Mars Hill, while serving the east is a college provided for New Bern. In discussing plans yesterday the trustees based their estimates on a student body of 150 for the high school and of 30 for the college de partment for next year. Sauistics show 190 students enrolled in the high school this year. The Baptist $75,000,000 campaign provided for an allotment of $45,000 to be used in developing the Wingate School over a period of five years. Further arrangements for aid for the school will be provided at the end of this time. Hon. T. I). Manes.'., who on the pre vious day attended a meeting of the Baptist board of education reported that there was nothing to fear for financial support, for the 325,000 Baptist of North Carolina are behind the institution, and our leaders have on their hearts the interest of boys and girls who hail from the "rank and file" of the people as well as those from the leading centers of population. Kec. A. C. Davis, moderator of the Union Baptist association made a stirring address in the interest of pro viding for the poor boys and girls especially for the girls. And the two speakers named above were voicing a trend of mind that is outstanding in the work of the Baptists of North Carolina. They are placing emphasis on the importance of financial aid to the academy and junior college. The trustees invite and expect the cooperation of pastors, Sunday school workers, womens organizations, par ents ami friends to lay on the hearts of boys and girls the opportunity that Wingate Junior College will offer at its opening next fall. The denomina tion expects to meet every require ment for entrance into Southern As sociation as a standard junior col lege. The meeting was attended, not cr.ly by the local members of this board but by men from other towns and counties. Rev. P.. E. Powtll, pas tor of the Marshville Baptist church and Mr. H. B. Marsh of Marshville, Mr. K. W. Ashcraft of Wadesboro, moderator of the Pee Dee Association and Hon T. 1).
