S""1 ktri to VU the CmtmmmI rk- et The "off year" election held Tuesday, proved to be an unusu ally quiet affair in Roanoke Rap id and Rosemary. The usual Democratic majority was piled, op and very little "scratching" Indulged in. Mr. Holdernesa, who was running with Hon. W. I 'Long for the senate, was scratched several times, and while Claude Kitchin had no op ponent and consequently could not be scratched, several voters ' did not vote the Congressional Ticket because of that fact The constitutional amendments vnrt unanimously carried in Roa ' noke Rapida and, we think, Rosemary also, voted unani mously for the amendments. We regret our inability to girt the official returns which ' is caused by our being unable to get , in touch with the poll holders. HALLOWE'EN PARTY ' In the house recently vacated by J. M. Jackson, on Jackson Street, the willing workers of the Methodist Church gave a moat enjoyadle Hallowe'en party last Thursday night The public was invited and an admis sion of 10c was charged.

Hewitt Wednes day afternoon. Death el tea, J.H.Kergai Near the noon hour on Friday Nov. 1st the saintly soul of Mrs. J, H. Morgan was called from its habitation of earthly affliction unto the better world. Her's had been a life of beauty and Christian purity from child hood, and she dissiminated her goodness where ever she moved among her associates. Mrs. Morgan united with the Methodist Church in early girl hood and to that Church she proved faithful unto death, al though she lived beyond any denominational creed or doctrine and sought to make Christian life a universal privilege, and Christian co-operation a God given faculty. For several years this good woman had fought ill health, but always her fight was valiant for her spirit was strong and her soul sure. Even her loved ones marvelled at her radiant disposi tion in the midst of severe pain and could scarcely interpret her bravery save In terms of the higher life. An innate congenial spirit and its cultivation by practice won for Mrs. Morgan numerous friends wherever she went: She spared no pains in giving un stintingiy. her best to her com panions and as a deserved recom pense, their loyalty to her was never wanting. A aisunct community loss felt in the decease of this upright woman, and those of her in u mates and acquaintances re gret keenly the loss inflicted up on her sorrowing husband and grief smitten loved ones. The (Arttlr remains were com mitted to s dust from whence they cat-. Sunday of ternoon. In the t iaiily cccry near Ke- THE UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN Tat Fitter tat Fighter, tkt Tuttt tkt nWsk". The United War Work Cam paign drive for $170,000 begins nest Monday the 11th and con tinues through November 18th. Our Community has been asked to contribute the sum of .eM The budget estimated and per centages are as follows: Y. M. C A. I100.000.00a Y. W. C. A. $15,000,000, Knights of Columbus. $30,000,000. Jewish Welfare Board, $3,500,000. War Camp Community Service, $15, 000,000. American Liberty Asso siation $3,500,000. Salvation Army $3,500,000. Specified or re stricted subscriptions shall not be asked for; but if given, shall be credited to the particular associ ation, such amount to be a part of the total and not in addition to it These various organizations bad planed separate campaign but at the suggestion of Presi dent Wilson, this cooperative ar rangement was effected. Such a plan brings all together in one camgaign and saves the time, expense and energy of thousands of the business and professiocal men and women for our country. The Chairman of the Campaign, Dr. John R. Mott says this bringing together in common action of all these soci eties 'will make for higher efficiency on the part of every one of the seven societies it will promote oetter reeling au over the United States; it will be pro mote regugious unity at a time when this means more than will appear on the surface; according to the President such an arrange ment is not one that causes that which you value most about your self to disappear, but something that will strengthen and preserve ; this plan will promote the sol idarity of the nation. The question has been asked, why this money should be raised when it appears as if the end of the war is near. Authortities say in this event it will take not less than twelve months to bring our American Army home. Dur ing that time the Soldiers will have almost all of their time dn their hands. They will not have the excit- ment and the incentive to stim ulate their spirits and the intense activities of the war period to absorb their attention and utilize their time. Their tempatations will be more numerous and more persistent There will be a cer tain tendency to let down stand ards and to relax discipline. It is obvious that the utmost impor tance that plans be made for the wise use of their leisure hours, These societies are, as we know the homes of the soldiers and sailors. That is enough to stake the whole argument Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary must and will, as they have in all preceding campaigns for war work, go over the top."

CAUSES DELAY! The Herald greets it's readers this week one day late, on account of the burn ing out of a line transformer controlling our power, which could not be repaired until to-day TO PREVENT WASTE OF COTTON SEED QrtWs ! Fees' AsauautrmbM Prakik- it Eiseran ir lapnecr Stecaf ! Seed, sad Lmi a! Cart ar Skis pisf Bcftrt Otitn Art Reteii The North Carolina Division of the Food Administration has been compelled to take extraordinary steps to prevent loss of food value in cotton seed through exposure and improper storage resulting from a congestion of cotton seed in practically all sections of the State. In -mer years the price of eotto. ieed has advanced from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and it has been to the advantage of farmers and others to hold seed for the higher price which they were as sured of later. This year with price of seed definately fixed at the begining of the season there has been no incentive to store seed, and the consequence has been that every farmer has sold practically all his seed immediate ly upon having his cotton ginned and dealers have promptly pass ed the seed on to the crusher. On October 15th the crushers of the State had purchased ap proximately twice the tonnage of cotton seed which they had purchased on the same date last year and dealers and throughout the State were overloaded with seed. As a result of the improp er storage and exposure, a liirne part of the food and feed value of several hundred tons of cotton seed has been practically lost. In order to prevent further waste, State Food Administrator Henry A. Page has requested that all gins in congested areas close down during the period Sept 30-Oct 5, and later on is sued an order forbidding cotton seed dealers, gins, crushers or others purchasing cotton seed ginned from cotton during the period October 17-20. In addi tion to this action, Mr. Page is sued the following three orders, which will remain tk force during the entire season, and which will be rigidly enforced; (1) Cotton-seed dealers, thinn ers and individuals are forbidden to load cars before they have an order for the car-load of seed. (2) Shippers are forbidden to ship seed to any crusher or deal er who has not ordered such seed. (3) Ginners, dealers and indi viduals are forbidden to leave cotton seed where they will be exposed to the weather, or to store them in such manner as will result in loss of food and feed value through heating. Every food product must be measured in terms of human life. Card of Thanks I wish to sincerely express my heart-felt thanks to slit hose who came to my assistance in my hour of trouble as results of the loss of my faithful wife. A friend in time of noed is worthy of the highest apprecia tion and that, I possess for the those who fuiled me not in my time of darkness. J. H. Morgan. HEAR Hon. Jos. 4E.

SENDS HUN HELMET HO'IE TO HIS SISTER Private Louis Hux has sent home convincing evidence of his part in the big battle that now rages on the battle scarred fields of France and Flanders. The evidence mentioned is the helmet of a Hun Machine Gunner which he sent to his sister, Miss Lattie Hux. The helmet weighs about nine pouds and is shaped to protect the back of the neck also (probably the designer had in mind the possibilities .of the present of the Hun armies), and is cleverly camouflaged. So far as is known this is the first relic of the war to be sent home by a soldier of this county. We hope to be able to print Kr. lux's letter tellinj tow bs cx pocxion ef Us 7 - .4 . . .... - J
