It shall be the duty of these Supesvisors to keep in touch with the people of the commun ity in order to learn the degree in which they are affected by Influenza; to keep the County Superintendent informed of con ditions and needs, snd should it become necessary assist in reliev ing the helpless. All calls for outside help should be made through your County Supervisor. These calls only will be regarded as official by the State Board of Health. The State Board of Health urge that the man or woman selected as Town ship Supervisor realize that a great responsibility rests on them for the saving of lives and the alleviation of suffering in the Community. To aid them in their work, the following plan of local organization is to be adopted. Each Township Supervisor has the aid of the following Com mittees appointed by himself. (a) Intelligence Committee The chairman of this committee should be especially active, and intelligent, thoroughly acquain ted with the community and wil ing to gather accurate informa tion daily in regard to the sick. He or she should report the num ber of new cases; also the con dition of the old cases, any emer gency need, food, medicine, or nursing aid. (b) Food Committee-The com mittee should be held in readi ness to supply simple wholesome food to those families in actual want. (c) Nursing Committee This committee should have a list of all persons in the community who would volunteer to do ordinary nursing in case of need. Any who have taken the Red Cross Course in Home Hygiene and First Aid would be especially valuable for this work. (d) Finance Committee-This committee should secure volun tary contributions for afflicted families which may be destitute. (e) Transportation Committee. This committee should be pre pared to furnish means of convey ance and a local guide in case a physician, or nurse be sent from some distant point. They should also be prepared to meet the needs of the other committees. The names of the persons who will serve on the aforesaid com mittees will be printed in the next issue of the paper, North Carolina, Halifax County, In the Superior Court B. C. Jones, I Vs.

Patterson, having received his honorable discharge from the Army has re turned home. Mr. E. H. Ricks motored to Emporia Wednesday. From Our Farm Demonstration Agent ir a Mu. jr.) Last week Mr. C L Sams, Specialist in Beekeeping, visited our county to see what the pros pects were for the successful raising of bees on a profitable scale. After taking a long trip through the upper part of the county, it was not until Mr. Sams saw the growth of Tupilo Gum and Black Gum in Beach Swamp, that he decided there was much of a chance of growing bees on much of a scale. Where ever these two trees grow there is an abundance of honey fur nished in early spring. In loca lities where Gallberries and Huckleberries grow around the swamp the conditions are almost ideal Although there are other plants which furnish honey, the above named plants, when grow ing near together, make the most ideal conditions for bees in this section. Bee colonies spaced all along each swamp, from En field to Scotland Neck should prove profitable, probably more so down in Roseneath Township, as there are more Gallberries and Huckleberries in that section. Bees are easily kept and handled once a person learns a little about them, as was demonstrated by Mr. Sams, by taking up a hand full, placing them in his hat, and then wearing the hat with the bees in it Those who are interested in bees should see the county agent so that he can arrange with Mr. Sams to come down next spring and give some demonstrations on the best methods of handling them. It has been proven by several tests made by the Office of Swine Investigation that one crop of leg ume pasture hogged down will pay for a good fence. For example; It will require a little over 100 rods to surround four acres. Even at a cost of $1.00 per rod, a crop of soybeans hogged down will much more than pay for it: In practice, the average of five tests of bur clover, and soybeans one a summer legume and the other a winter legume, the re turns from the two crops were more than twice the cost of such fence. ' PRETTY BABY MADE BIG HIT. Pretty Baby a musical comedy, with many amusing "lines" play ed to a crowded house at the Rosemary Theatre last Mondao night The one unfortunate thing was the size of the stage, the same being so small as to make it impossible to use their scenery. Eddie Raye was easily the star of the aggregation and pleased his audience immensely. Milk as a Stimulant Scientists of the I'QStmir Institute hare discovered that cow s milk la onn of the most powerful stimulants known.

Beginning next Monday, Octo ber 6, every possible effort will be put forth to enforce the Com pulsory Attendance Law. So far the patrons of the school have responded admirably, and there are now very few only be tween the ages of eight and fourteen who are not in school. We hope that all children will be in next Monday so that there will be no necessity for drastic measures to be used. Teachers have been instructed not to accept excuses for sickness of children between 8 and 14 un less a physician or nurse makes a statement to the effect that the child was prevented from at tending school on account of ill ness. Blank certificates will be issued to each family and a sup ply furnished to each doctor and nurse in the community. Each teacher also will have a supply of these blanks. Parents should see that the blanks properly pre pared and signed by the physi cian or nurse are sent to the teacher the day of the absence or the day following. We ask the co-operation of all citizens in the community in this effort to make the schools more efficient. E. J. Coltrane, Superintendent WITH THE CHURCHES All Saints Church (EpUcoptl) Rev. Lewis N.

Akers and children and Miss Annie Cherry made a business call at the Springs Mon day. The School always wel come them. Miss Cherry reports that the truck is ordered for transportation of the Carter School to Aurelian Springs. We extend to them a hearty welcome to come over and join us. Feeling is getting warm for completion of the Church at Tar bor. The Stewards held a meet ting at the home of the Pastor Tuesday evening for considera tion of resuming the building. To some who are saying the brethren can't raise $1500 now to complete the Church, we say frankly, "You are not giving God the First Fruits of the land" "Draw nigh unto me," says he "and I will draw nigh unto you." How can Christian people expect to prosper when they let the affairs of God go to the very last extreme when they are cloth ing themselves in fine raiment and living on the fat of the land? Let us ri?e in our might and give to God what is right; May the brethren come today and build the Church without delay. Miss Sledge, of Rosemary, is the guest of Miss Sallie Liles. Mr. and Mrs Riggan, of Macon, were recent guests of Mrs. Frank Shaw. Rev. Bobbit was a guest of some of the Baptist brethren of Aurelian Springs the first of the week.

Adjournment NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY The organization of a new de partment of Americanization in the Episcopal church, as a result of its nation-wide campaign for national service, has been signal ized by an interview with Frank lin K. Lane, secretary of the in terior who emphasizes the duty of the State and nation as a measure of safety for the future of American institutions, to wipe out the high percentage of illiter acy in the United States. Approaching the problem from the religious side, the aim of the Americanization program of the nation-wide campaign is to con centrate upon that large foreign element which falls away from the foreign language churches after a certain length of resi dence in the United States and drifts without religious discipline of any kind. Secretary Lane points out the handicap of the newcomer in his inability to speak our language, saying: 'This mm is our charge, our opportunity. He needs and de serves care, solicitude, thought ful consideration. Give .him a glimpse into the philosophy un derlying our struggle and he will turn into a cheerful fellow-worker in the making of America." The aim of the Americaniza tion department of the Episcopal church will be to take hold of the immigrant immediately upon his arrival -not to wean him away from the native language church to which he may attach himself upon his arrival here, but to cooperate with the officials of those churches in teaching the English language and American citizenship side by side with the religious instruction imparted, and by keeping track of all these new Americans so that, when the time comes when they do be gin to drift away from the native language church associations, the proper steps may be taken to prevent them from being swal lowed up in the great mass of adopted citizens who have sever ed all connections with religion. RALEIGH MUSICIANS DELIGHT HEARERS The Organ recital given at the Presbyterian Church last Friday evening by Mrs. C. P. Wharton, assisted by Miss Annie McDade, contralto, proved a delightful affair for those present. The program was a well selec ted one and rendered in a charm ing manner by these talented women, and will be long remem bered by our people. The recital was under the auspices of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Church Mrs. Wharton and Miss Mc Dade were the guests of Mrs. C A. Wyche while here. DELIGHTFUL BIRTHDAY PARTY Last night Mrs. T. B.
