Raleigh, Feb. lG-With a total
ofS9,G2o births registered for
the past year North Carolina has
broken its own record for the
highest birth rate in the Union
established in 1920. At the same
time a new low level in the death
rate for the state is established
with a total registration of 29,!)(i-l
deaths. These figures are pre
liminary, and are subject to
slight alterations as delayed cer
tificates for 1921 are filed with
the State Board of Health.
Such delayed returns, however,
cannot be sufficient to materially
affect either the birth or death
rate.
In 1920 the birth rate in the
state was 31.8 per thousand pop
ulation as compared with the
rate of 23.7 for the registration
area of the country. The death
rate was 12.6 per thousand popu
lation for the state as against
13.1 for the registration.
In 1921 the birth rate goes up
and the death rate is lowered.
On the preliminary figures avail
able the birth rate fcr the year
is 33.1, and the death rate is 11.4.
Figures for comparison with the
remainder of the country will not
be made available by the United
States Bureau of the Census un
til late in the present year. In
this connection, however, it is of
interest to note that the state of
New York announces a death
rate of 12.2 for the past vear, a
new low level for that state but
one higher than for North Caro
lina. The city of Chicago an
nounces a death rate of 11 for
1921, and the health commission
er of that city states that probab
ly this is the lowest rate possible
of attainment.
The net increase in the total
population of the state for the
past year, that is the excess of
births over deaths, is 59,659, or a
rate of increase of 2.3 per cent.
If this rate of increase is main
tained the population of the state
will have passed the three million
mark well ahead of the next
decennial census.
While the birth rate is a matter
of pride, yet it is the death rate
that health officials watch most
closely, and the constantly de
clining death rate in this state is
the cause of genuine gratification.
In terms of lives saved the
lowering of the death rate for
1921 as against the previous year
meani that approximately 3,292
more Tar Heels are today alive
and serving their respective com
munities than would have been
if the 1920 rate had prevailed.
Compared with 1914, when the
death rate was 18.8, it means
that approximately 19,b56 more
citizens are alive today, a popu
lation comparable with that of a
number of the large towns of the
state.
Year bv year since accurate
statistics have been kept the
, birth rate in the state has been
steadily climbing upward, and
at the same time the death rate
has been even more markedly
declining. The figures eloquent
ly attest the fact that North
Carolina is a good place in, which
to be born and to live, and that
its people us a whole are constant
ly growing healthier and happier,
Notice to Income Taxpayers

Commissioner, will be in the

Death Rate Decreases
Births Increase
I Rosemary School Notes
We feel that the Parent-Teach-1
ers Association has been of more
rc?l value than any one factor in
ou ." school.
At the first of the year the
mothers gave us a cot with all
necessary equipment, l his was
to be used in case of sickness ot
a child was hurt. It has been
used almost daily.
The mothers also became in
terested in planting shrubbery
around the school building. They
were given $75.00 by the Rose
mary Mfg., Co. We invite you
all to come and see this improve
ment.
At our children's fair the
mothers cleared over $14.00. This
was used to buy books.
Thru the organization we got
the parents and children interest
ed in the milk station. Mrs.
Ogletree gave forty bottles for
us to start our milk station with.
OtKers have been added since.
At the January meeting the
mothers gave materials for sand
wiches. Which were to be sold
recess. This was done by
each mother signing up for one
day in the week. Miss Hayes'
room made these sandwiches and
sold them. Her grade has clear
ed over twelve dollars. This
money is to be used to buy a work
bench for her room. These sand
wiches made according to "Hap
py's" idea of a wholesome sand
wich for children.
We have many other plans for
the year.
MILK STATION
All year we have encouraged
children to drink milk, but we
were not able to establish a milk
serving station in connection
with the school until the first of
this month.
We had fifteen children who
were bringing their milk from
1
home and drinking it at the re-'
A
cess period. We have forty-five
children who are buying milk
from the school. This makes a
total of sixty children who are
getting wholesome milk in this
school. The Sunday school classes
of the different churches are pay
ing for milk for ten children. If
any one would like to aid a good
cause contribute to the milk fund
of the Rosemary School and
thereby allow a child to get a
glass of milk each day. We have
one family of four children in
this school who have each gained
from four to eight pounds since
we began serving them milk in
October.

vnurcn aaies uacK 10 wnen
Rev. Francis Joyner, then Arch
deacon held the first service over
Roanoke Pharmacy and later in
the old school building now used
by the band. The following year
a school building was erected on
Hamilton Street and a day school
was begun under the direction of
the mission. Sunday School was
held in this building on Sunday
afternoons and once a month
the Church services. This ar
rangement continued until the
year after the Central School was
built and the Church school was
discontinued. Rev. H. II. Phelps,
of Weldon, took charge of the
mission and in 1905 the congre
gation formally applied for ad
mission as an organized mission
and were receivedjas such by the
Convention under the name of
lion Church. Occasionally ser
vices were held until Mr. Arthur
W. Taylor, took charge of the
work as Cathechist, under the
direction of the Archdeacon, in
the fall of 1911. In 1914 he was
ordained to the diaconate and
continued his work until the
latter part of that year. July 1st
1916, Rev. Henry C. Smith, of
Charlotte, assumed charge of the
work and served as priest-in
charge until September 1916. In
November 01 the same year
work was begun on the new
Church building and on Jan. 14.
1917 the corner stone was laid,
Bishop Cheshire officiating. Apri
1st 1917 Rev. Lewis N. Taylor
became priest-in charge. At the
Convention held in Wilson the
following month the mission was
received as an organized parish.
The first Sunday in May services
were held in the new building.
Iti April 1920 a rectory was com
pleted. The last report sent to
the , Diocesan secretary showed
that the communicant list now
members 217 and one hundred

Growing Health
In Home Garden
The home garden can help
raise the standard or public
health by increasing the amount
of green leafy vegetables in the
diet, according to the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service,
which advocates an increase of
home gardens this year.
Vegetables have taken on ad
ditional importance through the
recent discovery of vitamines,
unknown a few years ago. Their
presence in fresh vegetables has
emphasized the need of a more
varied diet if health is to be
maintained in adults, and growth
promoted in children.
A recent circular, number 122,
issued by the Agricultural Ex
tension Service at Raleigh, says
that deficiency diseases often re
suit from starvation tor one or
another of the three essential
vitamines, and it is necessary
for the good of man that the
diet contain all three of these:
"Dr. Goldberger, of the U. S.
Public Health Service, has done
notable work in the study of the
diet to pellagra in the South. He
has called attention to the fact
that the diet of the pellagrin
consists essentially of degerrai-
nated cereal grains, starch, sugar,
sweet potatoes, and fat pork, a
very small amount of green leafy
vegetables being consumed, and
practically no milk. He has
changed the food of the inmates
of institutions where pellagra
was serious, and found both that
a proper diet leaua to the eradi
cation of the disease and that
the liberal use of leafy vegeta
bles and milk prevents the occur
rences of it."
ficers of the Church School are
Mr. T. W. Mullen, Supt. and Mr.
H. W. Atkinson, secretary.
Next Sunday at seven thirty

(aome reminiscences of his work

Night School Making
Progress
Good
Regardless of the ground hog
weather which we had last week
the night school at the old church
is progressing.
Wednesday evening, February
14th, the Club celebrated Wash
ington's and St. Valentine's
birthdays in a very attractive
way.
Friday evening Mr. Norwood's
grade invited the teachers and
pupils from the other rooms to
hear an interesting debate got
ten up entirely by six members
of his class, and each person
showed they had given their
subject a great deal of thought.
The subject was "Resolved
that the night school is more im
portant than motion pictures and
other forms of entertainment."
Those who debated on the af
firmative side were: Cleveland
Dickens, Lelia Cashwell, and
Leroy Pope.
inoseontne negative were:
Josephine! Murry, Nora Kate
Ray and Manly Taylor.
The visitors voted by ballot
and when the ballots were count
ed there was a majority of one
in favor of the negatives.
A number of similar attractions
have been given at the night
school and much interest was
shown.
Gross Income Explained
for
Taxpayers
Numerous inquiries have been
received regarding the proper
interpretation of section 223 of
the Revenue Act of 1921, which
provides that each individual
whose gross income for 1921 was
$5,000 or over shall file a return
regardless of his or her net in
come. Gross income means statutory
gross income, defined by the
Revenue Act to include "gains,
profits and income, derived from
salaries, wages, or compensation
for personal service ... of what
ever kind and in whatever form
paid, or from professions, voca
tions, trades, business, commerce
or sales or dealings in property,
whether real or personal, grow
ing out of the ownership or use
of or interest in such property;
also from interest, rent, divi
dends, securities or the transac
tion of any business carried on for
gain or profit or gains or profits
and income derived from any
source whatever .
dross income noos pnt neces
sarily mean gross receipts. A
merchant, for instance, in com
puting statutory gross income,
should deduct therefrom the
cost of goods sold. For example,
a merchant may have gross re
ceipts amounting to $10,000, but
the cost of goods sold amounts
to $7,000. He has no other in
