JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY TO BE IN
WELDON. TUESDAY NIGHT
APRIL 6TH
Those who hae heard Judge
Lindsey since his return from
E'ranee where he went under the
auspices of the American govern
ment and the Allies to study
social conditions and rehabilita
tion plans among the women,
children and girls of the war
zone, say that never before has
never before has he delivered
such powerful lectures, lectures
which completely grip the im
mense audiences which every

A Lindsey lecture always deals
with vital topics but it is also al
ways entertaining and brim full

SURVEY OF LOCAL SCHOOL
SYSTEM
Early in December the Board
of School Trustees authorized
the Superintendent to invite the
School of Education of the State
University to make a survey of
the local school situation, and in
dicate plans for the future de
velopment of the schools. The
school of Education gladly ac
cepted the invitation and Dr. L.
A. Williams, Professor of School
Administration in the University,
was authorized to make the sur
vey. Dr. Williams spent two
days in January looking over the
buildings and left a questionnaire
of several pages to be prepared
by the Superintendent, lie is
expected to spend several days
making a close inspection of
work being done in the school.
If present plans mature, he will
be here all next week and will
probably return for a visit near
the close of the term. The idea
of such a survey is not new, Dr.
Williams having made other sur
veys in towns and cities of this
State. Just recently Columbia
University sent down a group of
experts under the direction of Dr.
Strayer, to make a complete suy
vey of the school situation in
Greensboro. Other surveys have
been authorized for different
in the State. The purposeof towns
this work is to take stock of the
resources as they now exist, and
to work out plans for the de
velopment of the school system
along progressive lines. No
more forward looking movement
could be inaugurated by the
Local Board of Trustees, and we
may confidently expect that the
public school system of this com
munity will keep pace with the
best system in the State.

INDIGESTION
Indigestion is one of the mean
ingless terms that cover a thou
sand pathilogical conditions rang
ing from gall stones to kinking
of the food equal. It has been de
fined as a condition in which
there is difficulty in digesting
food. It is one of the most fre
quent complaints of the human
race. Every physician knows
that a patient complaining of in
digestion may have appendicitis,
inflammation of the stomach, tu
berculosis, gall stones, cancer or
any one of anumber of conditions,
so the physician begins to look
for the trouble.
The trouble with some people
is that after a few years of over
eating, irregular eating, over
work, worry, decayed teeth or
other conditions, Nature begins
to fail to perform its natural func
tions. There ensues a period best
described as digestive disturb
ance. The patient has pain in the ab
domen, sometimes before eating,
sometimes after and sometimes
all the time. There is headache,
a feeling of lassitude and consti
pation usually follows. Often there
will be pain in the back, close up
under the right shoulder blade
and the patient thinks he has the
so called kidney trouble. At this
stage the patient usually makes
his first mistake. He will, ii an
endeaver to save a doctor's fee
buy a bottle of Dr. Fakir's sure
cure for indigestion, or a bottle
of "stomach cure" tonic, etc.
This usually spell: disaster. These
popular brands for indigestion
usually contain enormous quanti
ties of alcohol loaded with laxa
tives. The alcohol has more of a
tendency to cause indigestion
than to cure and is worse than
nothing.
The best rule for indigestion
is to prevent it rather than at
tempt to cure it after it. appears.
To prevent indigestion one should
eat slowly and regularly and chew
his food well for we are not bless
ed with a gizzard. The foodshould
consist of the simplest of foods,
well prepared. It should be
selected so as to afford a well
balanced diet, consisting of suf
ficient proteins, fats and starchy
foods - plenty of fresh vege
tables and fruits in season. Milk
and butter form a most impor
tant part of the diet. Worries
and troubles should be vanished
and if possible a rest should be
taken after each meal.
Indigestion from overeating is
a simple affair and can be reme
died but should it be caused by
an ulcer or cancer of the stomach
it is a more serious matter and
an early recognition of the cause
is very essential to recovery.

TIME TO HATCH
Hatch your chicks in February
March and April. Ten reasons
why.
1. Early hatched chicks come
when nature is at her best. 2.
Early hatched chicks grow rapid
ly and have more vigor. 3. Early
hatched chicks are strong and
are less liable to die of diseases
! and lice. 4. Early hatched chicks
have a longer growing season.
5. Hot weather retards the
growth of chicks. (5. Early hatch
ed chicks mature by early fall
7. Mature pullets produce fall
and winter eggs. 8. Fall and
winter eggs bring the highest
prices. 9. Early hatched pullets
lay while the hens are moulting.
10. Early hatched chicks are the
ones that become broody early
tne following spring. Be sure
to dust your setting when you
set them, and positively three
days before hatching. Allow the
chicks to pick around on course
sharp sand before giving them
any digestible food. Their first
food may contain hard boiled
eggs, jonney cake, stale bread,
oat meal or rolled oats, which
feeds or combination may be
used with good results. Mashes
mixed with milk are excellent to
give them a good start, but
must be fed in a crumbly state
and never in a sloppy condition.
Feed a little at the time and
several times a day. Feed just
what will be eaten eacti time,
never allowing any to lay around
and become sour. Keep a supply
of fresh clean water before them
at all times. Do these things
and your chickens will grow off
nicely.

Reasons Why The Schools 01 Halifax
County Should Be Consolidated
Into Larger Districts
-
BENE KITS
TO THE CHILDREN
Children that live to far away
from school to walk and have no
way to ride, will be taken to
school on trucks.
Where you ha,e a big school
with a teacher for every grade,
with music and domestic science
and agricultural teachers, they
can teach the children better
than they can in small schools,
where one teacher has to teach
from three to seven grades .
You can get better teachers to
come to a big consolidated
school, where they can do the
children justice, than you car., to
come to a small school.
The teachers have more time
to give to the children.
Many children in the country
will never get beyond the sixth
or seventh grade unless they
have a school of this kind to go
to, because they are not able to
go off to some outside school.
Then there are children away
off in the country that are very
timid and have never mixed
with other children much. If
they had a big consolidated
school to go to, their timidness
would be worn off by mixing
with other children.
BENEFITS TO THE GROWN FOLKS
It would be cheaper to pay the
teachers of one big school than
it would to pay the teachers of
about a dozen two or three
teacher schools.
It would be cheaper to keep
one big building in repair and
the fires going than it would be
several small schools.
It would be cheaper for the
fathers and mothers that are
financially able to send their
children to an outside school,
after they pass the seventh
grade to keep their children at
home until they finish the
eleventh or twelfth grade.
Then there are a lot of people
in the country that do not have
much education. They couldn't
help but learn right much if
there was a school of this kind
in the community.
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY
It would be a great benefit to
any community to have from
eleven to fifteen well educated
men and women to come into its
bounds.
Having a big consolidated
school in a community, will give
people progressive ideas and
make them get to work to keep
up with the school.
Having a big school in the
community, the people will
naturally come together there
and mingle with their neighbors,
and this will develop a good
community spirit.
If tne children of a community
are well educated you will natur
ally have well educated men and
women and therefore a well
educated community.
If we do not have a good
! school in the country all of the
best people will move to town so
they can educate their children.
So if we want to keep our best
people in the country, we wilj
have to have consolidated
schools.
