This, in effect, is the message of a former chaplain, the Rev. Dr. George Craig Stewart 'The Nation Wide Campaign." Dr. Stewart said." "must be waged as a general would wage his campaign, as the command ing offcers of the allied armies waged their campaigns on the other side. "I have stood more than once in the front lines, watching an aeroplane swoop overhead, upon it the black cross of Germany. We in the lines paid little atten tion to it for we knew it was not a bombing plane. But half a dozen French planes, and in numerable antiaircraft guns were paying a great deal of at tention to it Why? Because it was the eye of the German army. It was making a survey of the whole field, ascertaining weak D.lAtj And II , ... 1 n IV ' 1 ' I . I eltlm. I ovinia aiiu Bliviit. iu uic iiira this plane was a greater menace than a bombing plane would have been. 'That is what the Nation Wide Campaign has been doing as its first step-making a survey of the whole field in which the Church is fighting, ascertaining the weak spots and the strong. This survey, built up from parish to diocese, until it records every detail, reveals the entire situation is vital to the Campaign; it de termines the plan. "From the survey we learn that the 'line' of the Church is strong in one place,' that here are gathered the munitions, the means for expanding the work of the Church. And we learn that over here are churches that are going ahead with almost no thing, workers who have little to keep them strong enough to hold the ground they have gained or to take a step forward for the winning of new terrain. Yet these workers, these little mis sion churches, are at strategic points. "I was with a general, in France, at his headquarters one day. He took up the telephone and ordered Bordeaux to forward 40,000 bales of hay to a French position. The man at the other end must have protested; indeed the general explained to me later he had urged the need of the army horses at Bordeaux. His protest was overruled. "These French men are holding a strategic point the General said in reply. "They must have the necessay supplies. I dont care if you have to drown your horses at Bordeaux in the sea.' "And so the Church must get the supplies from the strong points to the weak. The strate gic points must be held and they cannot be held without equip ment. "And when the needs of these points have been made clear, we must make ready for battle. The campaign is on. We must begin with a great barrage of education of speakers, .information men, five-minute men, literature. The barrage must destroy prejudice and opposition., and ignorance. For all these are in the Church. ing. Mr. J. N. Mobley, of Weldon, was in Rosemary Wednesday morning. Mr. P. M. Mangum, of Dur ham spent Tuesday in town. Mr. J. H. Hall, of Petersburg, was here Tuesday. Mr. C. E. Medlin, of Montgo mery. Ala., was in town Tues day. Mr. T. W. Mullen, has return ed from a visit to Charlotte. Miss Annie Medlin is attending the cireus in Rocky Mount today. CROSSING AT JUNCTION TO BE MADE SAFER CarptratiM f iiii Order WU sua tr Electric Sinai Places' Tarn. iuovu Tutiau Muuct to urt On last Friday evening The Herald received a letter from the Corporation Commission stating that a watchman or an electrical signal had been ordered placed at the crossing of Roanoke Ave nue and the Seaboard Air Line Railway tracks at Roanoke Junc tion. This action by the Com mission will no doubt save many lives as this crossing was one of the most dangerous in the county. This matter was brought to the attention of the Commission by Messrs. C. A. Wyche. J. T. Chase and the Roanoke Rapids Herald. EXTRAVAGANCE AND CONCEIT The man who said conceit vu at the bottom of every extrava gance knew a good deal about human nature. Few men would pay $4 for a tie that did not look as if it cost $4 and the factory girls in Connecticut who are buy ing $100 fur coats on installments out of a $15 salary a week would care little for such a coat if the only place they could wear it were in an asylum for the blind. A modern philosopher says, "I conclude that dissatisfaction is a common human ailment and that I might as well be unhappy with what I have as unhappy with what I can't afford." Thousands of Americans are dissipating their savings in ex travagant purchases purely through conceit And it is a blind conceit which deceives no one but the extravagant themselves. When a man goes into a store to buy a $6 hat which he can afford and comes out with a $16 hat which has forced him to break into his savings, he does not im press the clerk who sells it or his friends who see him wear it But he has injured them all and himself also. He has aided to di vert production from necessities to non-necessities, he has helped keep up prices, and has with drawn potential capital from posi ble use in increasing industry. For himself, he has weakened his defense against old age, sick ness and loss of employment and depleted his offensives in the battle for success. Failure to save is too high a price to pay for the pampering of conceit The only safety against extravagance lies in thrift and saving. Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates may not make a flashy show but they are more impressive than any ex travagant possession money can buy. They afford protection to savings future and character and are sure roads to DOSSession 1 0f the things really needed and desired.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL BEGINS NOVEMBER 2 Washington, Oct Presi dent Wilsor. in a letter written before his illness, and made pub lic today, appealed to the people of the country, for support of the third Red Crosi Roll Call, which is to be held from Novem ber 2 toll: "As President of the United States and as President of the American Red Cross, I recom- mend and urge a generous re-; sponse to tne Third Red Cross roll call which opens on Novem-1 ber the second with the obser-; vance of Red Cross Sunday and appropriately closes on November the eleventh, the first anniver sary of the signing of the armis tice. "Twenty million adults joined the Red Cross during the war. prompted by a patriotic desire to render service to their countr) and to the cause for which the United States was engaged in war. Our patriotism should stand the test of peace as well as the test of war, and it is an intelligently patriotic program which the Red Cross proposes, a continuance of service to our soldiers and sailors who look to it for many things, and a trans ference to the problems of ieaee at home, of the experience and methods which it acquired during the war. "It is on membership more than money contributions that the stress of the present cam paign is laid, for the Red Cross seeks to associate the people in welfare work throughout the land, especially in those com munities where neither official provision has been made for ade quate public health and social service. "It is the spirit of democracy that the peoole should undertake! their own welfare activities, and the National Red Cross wisely intends to exert upon community action a stimulating and co-ordinating influence and to place the energies of the organization behind all sound public health and welfare agencies. "The American Red Cross does not purpose indefinite pro longation of its relief work abroad, a policy which would lay an unjust burden upon our own people and tend to undermine the self-reliance of the people re lieved, but there is a necessary work of completion to be per formed before the American Red Cross can honorably withdraw from Europe. The Congress of the United States has imposed upon the Red Cross a continuing responsibility abroad by authori zing the Secretary of War to transfer to the American Red Cross such surplus army medical supplies and supplementary ami dietary food stuffs now in Europe as shall not be required by the army, to be used by the Red Cross to relieve the distress which continues in certain coun tries of Europe as a result of the war. 'To finance these operations, to conclude work which was be gun during the war, and carry out some comparatively inexpen sive constructive plans for assist ing people in eastern Europe to develop their own welfare organi zations, the American Red Cross requires in addition to member ship fees a sum of money small in comparison with gifts poured into its treasury by our gener ous people during the war. 'Both the greater enduring domestic program and the les er temporary foreign program of the Red Cross deserve evn thusiastic support, and I venture to hope that its peace-time mem bership will exceed rather than fall below its impressive war membership." "WOODROW WILSON." COMMUNITY FAIR ATTRACTS CROWD Many Atti active Exhibits In The Several Department A Credit To It Promoters The Aurelian Springs Com munity Fair, was attended by a large crowd of interested specta tors last Wednesday, and proved a very creditable affair for its enterprising promoters.

Twenty six members responded to the call of the Worthy Matron. Miss Buckner immediately intensely j interested hi r hearers as she pre-1 sentea in a very practical way, the why's and wherefores of the the Order, showing how by its fruits had more than justified its existence. The work at the j Home for the old people in ; Greensboro was described in de-1 tail. She expressed her delight I and appreciation or the coopera- tion shown by the local chapter in the State work, saying it had won a tender spot in her heart by its srrprisingly large dona tions to the Home and the man ner in which the members have interested themselves in the work of the Chapter. It is the custom of the Chap ter here to present a silver cup to the babies of members of the Star. This custom has just come in vogue. Whlie here Miss Buckner presented the first to little Miss Mary Virginia the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Jenkins. Miss Buckner congratulated the chapter on having one of its members hold an elective of fice in the Grand Chapter in the person of Mrs. Fred Peck, who is the head of this district.

SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE Practical work in soil study i will be one of the features of the sixteen weeks short course in agriculture which beitan at the State College of Agriculture ' yesterday, October 28. The fields near the College af ford an excellent opportunity for studying the formation of the 'son, 8nj for notjng the work one by weathering agencies and the resistance of certain rocks to these agencies. This affords the student a means of studying t he fundamental cause of soil varia tions. In addition to the practical work in the field, the laboratory has been well equipped so the student will have an opportunity to see the physical and chemical relationship of different soils. Some up-to-date apparatus, j which was recently installed, will j Mrs. M. S. Chandler and son, be used in this short course. i Wilson, of Portsmouth visited re According to Dean C. B. Wil- lative9 npr th5. . liams of the College of Agricul- ture, a combination of this field and laboratory study will demon strate the underlying principles of good soil management. Added to this, will be the closely related study of farm drainage and farm fertilizers. Different fertilizer materials will be compared. The effective use of these materials will also be given prominence by well ar ranged laboratory exercises. To drain land all the instru ments used will be studied by the short course men, and practical demonstrations given in terracing and tiling land. It is realized that the soil is the basis of all wealth, this is why consid erable emphasis is given to this soil study curing tht duration of the course.

The result of this meeting seemed to establish the fact that the town should obtain a park site. Several sites, other than the one already suggested, were proposed, one that has several good points in connection there with, others suggested seemed to lack careful consideration by the one proposing same. In the meantime prices will be obtained on sites other than one offered by the Roanoke Avenue Develop rnent Company and late in Nov. another mass meeting will be neia to consider again, the en tire matter. The mass meeting was woefully lacking in numbers when the importance of the mat ter is considered. ROANOKE RAPIDS PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
