This bulletin will reach the schools not later than Nov ember 15th. Every secondary and high school in the State is invited to become a mem ber of the Union and participate in the contest of 1916. Every school that en ters will, as in the pnat, be grouped with two others for a triangular de bate, each school puttini; out two teams, one on the affirmative and the other on the negative. The schools winning both debates will be entitled to send their teams to the University to compete for the State championship and the Aycock Memorial cup. The triangular debates will be held through out the State the latter part of Mar ch and the final contest at the Univer sity early in April, The exact dates for these contests will be decided upon later.

It should aho be the law that any. officer who suspects a man ot carrying a weapon could search him when he cauglit him, without papers, and without giving notice. If the law was made so savere, and en forced that a man knew he forfeited his liberty for several years if caught carrying a gun, the chances are that there would be many less murders. As it IS now most everybody you meet in a crowd has a gun on his person, and if it happens to be in order to present arms you can see a whole arsenal ready for bysiness in a minute.

In view of the interest which has recently been shown with respect to experimen tal shipmen'.s ot wheat made to Eng lish markets, the bureau says, and the readiness with which these shipmenta have been sold, in spite of the tem porary depression in wheat values at the time of their offer, it may be of sortie additional value to review a few other points in connection with the ex pert trade in wheat from Egypt, to which it may, at some future time, be necessary to turn on the occasion of a surplus crop causing, the local prices to fall sufficiently low to leave a margin of profit. On looking thror^h the 4)rice list for wheat in the June bulletin of agricul tural and commercial statistics publish-' ed by the international Institute of Agriculture Rome, one is stuck by the fact that prices ruling in Italy are,* just now, considerably higher than those in other countries. As far aa Egypt is concerne'i, it must however,; be remembered that Italy, as well aa most of the Mediteranean regions, is! in nped of hard macaroni wheat, the Egyptian semi-hard wheats finding little favor. The Algerian type of wheat grown in upper Egypt under the name of “Gawi," is suitable for, the Mediteranean demand, and it3 cultivation might, with advantage, be extended, if the wheat area products at any time in excess of the actual re quirements of the country. This type of wheat finds no favor in England,’ where, however, the ordinary Egyp tian na^ive wheats seems to be easily salable, of her sister-in-law Vincent. Miss Belle Mr. F L.

Forgiveness I say to ycu: Forgive your friend, if so he drops, Into your heart a stinging word. He will be sorry by and by. And all his higher nature stirred To live more purely when he sees You put aside the things you heard. And yet again: Forgive your enemy; he wounds With malice, hoping that the dart May rankle deep and fester sore. You should shame him by the better part Of unrequited hate, and rob Of all its after-lust the venomed dart. Yonr friend and foe— Forgive these two the seventy By seven times that love decreed For each forgiveness lifts jou up (From taint of sordid passion freed) • To heights of true nobility. Where Truth fulfills the spirit’s need. But mark you £his: One thing you shall not e’er forgive The while the folding years de scend.

Not Only IMade In Ameri ca But Made in MebaneJ The Mebane Association has pra- sen ted to the Town of Mebane eight as substantial and well constructed trash cans as can be found anywhere, and we are proud to say that they bear the stamp “JMade in Mebane.,' These cans are durable and convenient in construction, but extremely attrac tive and neat in appearance. We ask all visitors to our town to take special notice of these cans and should any other Civic Association be contemplating the purchase of trash cans it would do well to make inquiry of Mr, Kennion, the manufacturer, before placing the order with some Western concern. The Civic Association of Mebane is a live, active body, and thanks to the workers, Mebane shows improvement". Through the efforts of a Committee from the Civic Asso. funds were secur ed and the old cemetery belonging to the Presbyterian Church and adjoining the Town Cemetery, has been made a place of beauty out of a general chaos of grass, weeds and neglected graves. The Flower Show conducted under the auspicies of the Civic Asso. last year was a big success; the Committee is now hrrdest at work on our second Flower Show to be held the first part of November, making plans for a greater display and more extensive Show, confident [of an increase in proceeds over last year, all of which will be spent in some way or other for a better Mebane.” We welcome all out of town visitors to our Flower Show as well as to our town at any time.- -The Mebane Civic Asso, complete relief, but closes the opening j One of the epidemics was of septic in 10 days on the average case.
