'I hope that every Red Cross

everyone that this fund for human

This will help to maintain their
winning spirit.
"American Red Cross activities
include a wide range ol human sal

of our boys and the fighters of the

surgical supplies, skilled nu r $es

RED GROSS RALLY
A GREAT SUCCESS
The Red Cross Rally held here
last Monday was one of the most
1
successful events ever attempted
in the city. Several hundred peo
ple assembled to witness the parade
...
wnicn was
led by the Franklin
ass Band. loliowed Dy tne motn,
ers who have sons in the service
Red Cross workers, young ladies
dressed as Red Cross nurses Boy
Scouts of America and Camp Fire
Girls. The parade was formed at
the foot of the Court House steps
and marched to the auditonum
where a large Red Cross banner
was raised on the grounds The
crowd filled the auditorium ,to over-
sey of Asheville, who addres
the
people on the subject of the
War
and the Red Cross. Hon. J. B. Eh
slev introduced the speaker with
some very fitting remarks.
Alter tne address tne crowd re
turned to the Court House to see
the "Human Spider" perform.
W. C. Strother, a North Carolina
boy who has onlv been climbing
for the past few months, climbed to
the top of the Goddess of Justice in
less than fifteen minutes. The
large crowd stood breathless while
he was doing some ol his dare-devil
stunts, such as standing on his
head on top of the Goddess of Jus
tice, which is ninety feet high, rid
ing a bicycle around the cornice
and doing a chair balancing stunt.
Before the Spider performed a
collection was taken which amount
ed to something like three hundred
dollars.

At the present high price of hogs
one cannot afford to run the risk of
losing all his hogs by an outbreak
ofeeholera, which often starts like
the raid of the thief , in the night
without any previous warning; : It
should be borne in mind that the
turkey buzzardfree range and run
ning streams, the worst agents by
which hog cholera is disseminated
in N. C. are not under control of the
individual, - hence the necessity of
vaccinating hogs as the only pre
ventive. I

of the delegates state that they

that Capt. Frye bolted the conven

any foundation whatever.
The truth of the matter' is that
Capt. Frye should have a clean and
clear field to make the race for
Judge because of the strong race
which he made in 1910 and his
demeanor and behavior in tnat
convention, to say nothing of the

HOME PRESERVERS
N01RESTR1CTED
Raleigh, May 22 State Food Ad
ministrator Henry A. Page, today
instructed County Food Adminis
trators to authorize sales of sugar
to individuals who require if for
preserving and canning fruits and
vegetables in such amounts as may
be required. The recent sugar rul
ing, which is still effective, permits
the sale b)r merchants of up to fifty
pounds of sugar to individuals de
siring it for canning and preserving
nurnoses uoon a certificate; supplies
of which may be secured by retail -
ers from the office of the Food Ad-
ministration.
Larger quantises than fifty
pounds may be secured only upon
authorization of County Food Ad
ministrators who will satisfy them
selves that the sugar is needed and
wilf be used only for the purposes
indicated.
The "rationing" of sugar to all
commercial users will result in am
ple supplies of sugar for canning,
preserving and other essential' pur
poses. v
SOLDIER IN LESS DANGER
THAN NORTH CAROIINA BABIES
In spite of the tremendous cas
ualty lists that are now coming
rom France where the lines ol
battle are joined on the Western
front the danger to life "over there"
is not as great as it is tcthe vchiid-
ren of North Carolina;, according to
figures gathered by thejState Board
of Health, In other words, it is less
mgerous to be a soldier on the
firing ; line in Flanders; right now
than, it is to be a baby in this State.
The Children's Bureau of the 1
United States Departmenrof Labor,
the State Boards of Health through
out the country, and various organ
izations ' of women all over the
United States are this year uniting
in the effort to teduce the deaths
among the babies by at least 100,000
in the Nation. t North, Carolina is
asked to save the lives of 3,130
babies in this State this year, or to
reduce the number of deaths here
tofore occurring in the State by that
number.
The State Board of Health is
heartily assisting in this movement.
and already the safety of the baby
has been emphasized in a number
of communities with displays, ex
hibits, lantern slides and lectures
furnished by the Board. North
Carolina people are taking an active
interest in the movement, and evi
dently are determined to do more
than is requii ed, a as has -been the
case in nearly all patriotic move
ments inaugurated since the war
begun.

By DR. ROBERT M. McELROY.
Educational Director of the National
Security League.
Why does America fight Germany?
Our ideals are threatened with de
struction, and we must fight to main
tain them. We
are fighting for
t h e fundamental,
thoughts, the
dreams, the
Ideals, th-3 aspira
tions, which to
day are seething
in the vast poly
glot community
which we call the
United States of
America. Tha.t is
what we are fight
ing for, we Amer
icans, whether of

W71 . Tj

or Russian or

Spanish blood.
What have, we tn common to cause
us to rise at the call Of a common Im
pulse and prepare to die for a common
cnuse? It would bo easy to formulate -the
characteristic dreams of the Rus
sian, the Italian, the Belgian, the
Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese. It
would be possible to catch the gleam of
idealism which has given to the French
the glorious title of the "Hero Nation."
But none of these would suffice. We
must take a' cross section of all f
them, and a dozen more, to formulate
the "Ideals which course in common
through them ail after they have been
united into what we call America. For
it is common ideals which have titJ&s
formed the men and women of all these
races and kindreds and tongues into
our nation, which stands today facing
the grim fact of war, a war to which
no man dare call them in the name of
race, or language, or previous aUegl
mice. ... . ... .,
World Citizenships ;
The President has placed our inter
vention -in- this war upon a qplaoCof
'idealism,, to which- every- citizen at
j0xttfoFto
i the land from which his forefather s-
the lafid from which his
have come. It is not the call of a nar
row nationalism, but the call of world
citizenship. .
Our entrance into this war Is no con
cession to the accursed gospel of force
and fraud. We wish nothing for our
selves, but have resolved to quote the
oft quoted words of our President)
that "the world must be made safe for
democracy and its peace planned
upon the trusted basis of political lib
erty." We scorn the idea that "might
is right," but we are willing to take
our part in policing the world against
the madmen . who act upon that doc
trine. "How High Your Ideals?"
History will not ask us or any other
nation, "How big was your army?" but
"How high were your Ideals?" Not
"How vast your navy?" but "What was
your devotion to duty?" Not "How
quickly could you mobilize?" but
"What thought have you contributed
toward the betterment of mankind?"
To those questions Germany can an
swer, "I contributed to the world th
idea of representation," for, as Montesv
quieu telts us, the representative idea
was "born in the forests of Germany."
She will have to confess, however, that
she cast it out, a naked infant, in or
der to make room for the throne of
the great, black idol, military power,
and today America and her allies are
marching in resistless coTumns, carry
ing that foundling back to Its home.

(Contributed by PRINCE and PRIN

by a "place In the sun" Is the extermi
nation of the peoples whose soil It
covets so that Germans may- replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil
