The State and County Council, which has been in session at the University of North Carolina, ?ept. 15-19,was attended by more than three hundred offi cials and their volunteer allies from 76 counties. Described by Governor Bickett who presided, as destined to prove of inestimable value to the Statcthe Council, in responce to a widely voiced demand, has been made a permanent institution, and a committee was appointed by the Governor to make plans for next year's meeting. This committee con sists of Dr. E. C. Branson, Chairman, A. T.Allen, Kirs. Clarence W. John son. W. C, Jones, and Dr. F. M.t Reg ister. I Problems of public education, public health, taxation, highways and public welfare, most of which have arisen because of the new public - welfare laws and the new officials charged with'carrying them into effect, were threshed out during four days of discussions. After every speaker , the meeting was thrown open ... and questions were asked, views exchainged, and experiences described. .Governor Bickett, in addition to presiding at most of the discussions, explained the revaluation act and make a plea for support for it. "An act to make the tax books of North Carolina speak the truth," was the title he gave to the law. "North Carolinians have never told the truth about their taxes because they have never been allowed to,' the Governor said, "but they are telling the truth now,and the moral af fee will be tremendous. Under this rev elation act and the proposed income tax North Carolina will be able to is? i - :.;vli . The t stem of procedure in the new juville courts was thoroughly explained by Judge Charles. N.

In view of the fact that we may j have an epidemic of influenza this fall and winter, and remembering the devastion and havoc wrought by this disease last fall and winter, it behooves us to get each county, and community thoroughly organ ized to care for those stricken if this disease should again show itself in an epidemic form. Thorough or ganization inspires confidence 1 i n battling with any foe and there is no doubt that thorough organization will allay the fears of the people and tend to lessen the nervous con dition which increased our mortali ty in the influenza epidemic of last fall and winter. We are writing to ask- ihat you call a meeting AT ONCE of all the public welfare agencies in your county health officers, public wel fare officers, farm and home dem onstrators, superintendents and supervisors of schools, both white and colored, ministers, doctors, law yers, and all other patriotic citizens. Let these patriotic citizens form an organization after the plaa outlined below. ' If influenza comes, you will be prepared. If it does not come, so much the better, r v The public welfare agents and patriotic citizens in meeting assem bled, should appoint a county supers visor of health to cooperate with the county board of health and the county health officer. The county supervisor should appoint a local superisor in each townships Duties of the focal supervisor are, to keep in touch with the people in order to learn the d e g r e e in which each community is affected by in fluenza; to keep the county superin tendent informed of local conditions and needs, and. should it become necessary, assist m relieving the helpless. The. chairman of thie board of county commissioners should send to the ' State Board of Health the name of the county's supervisor and the township super visors. All calls for outside aid should be made through your county supervisor. These calls only willJ be regarded as official by the State Board of Health. The State .Board of Health is at this time perfecting an emergency organization of phy sicians and nurses .of the State, who will be willing and ready to answer any emergency call sent them by the State Board of Health.; The State Board of Health: urges that the men or women selected as v township supervisors realize that a great responsibility rests upon them for the saving of livesand the alle viation of suffering in their - com munity. To aid them, in their work, the following plan of local organiza tion is suggested to township super visors: The supervisors of the townships should appoint a chairman for the' following committees: (a) Intelligence Committee. The chairman of this committee should be especially active and in telligent, thoroughly acquainted with the community, and willing to gather accurate information daily; in regard to the sick. This chairman should report daily to the township supervisors the number of new cases, the condition of previous cases, and any emergency need, food, medicine or nursing aid. (b) Food Committee.' This committee should: be held in readiness to supply s i mple, wholesome food to those families in autual need. - ;V; :-y: (c) Nursing Committee, :: ; This committee should' have .. a list of all available persons in ; the community who will volunteer to do ordinary nursing in case of need. Many persons, sick with influenza do not need the services of a train ed nurse even if one .could be ob tained, but many families do need the simple tome attention which UUHBE JIOW SYtVA; M; r . -a s 1 ' .It- Ski I ..est, .T, i mi t I ma . : SHE SHOOK HANDS WITH PRESIDENTS When President Wilson shook hands yesterday with Mrs. H.

The photograph was taken as Mrs. Som ers left tharWhite House after meet ing and talking to President Wilson. She is 90 years old. can and should be supplied through this committee. Any who, have taken the Red Cross course in first aid and home hygiene should be especially valuable for this work. (d) Finance Committee. This Committee should secure Voluntary contributions for the nec essary relief of .afflicted families, which may be destitute, tfher&are likely also to be ti terhporatily in tteed jot- QhanciaL (e) Transportation Committee. This committee should be pre pared to furnish means of convey ance and a local guide in case a doctor or nurse is sent to the com munity from some distant point. They should also should be prepar- ed to meet the needs of the other other four committees. The State Board of Health ad vises that the local ownership su pervisors appoint only the chair man of each of these committees leaving the chairman to secure such assistance as is aeemea necessary for the work. Either a man or a woman can serve acceptably as chairman or as a member of any of these committees. The main point is tnar tne cnairman snouia oe a worker and should be held .respon sible for the work of the committee of which, he or she is chairman. This plan ' of organization may seem to go into unnecessary details, but past expelier tellsjthat we cannot be too strongly organized. In the late epidemic of : influenza, whole families were stricken so f L "f . I member, of tne family was able to - get out and ask for: aid, ' We do not want this to happen agaiq in North Carolina.

SeptNorth Carolina produced during 1918 about one half of all-the soy beans grown for seed in the United States inis is a remarkable ' showing, and one of which the farmers should be very proud. It was only a few years ago that Mr. C. B, Willinms of the North Carolina Extension Service began his intensive campaign for the growth of soy beans in this State During recent years reports which have been made to show that th nmn io. 7a-j'Pwi pi an auiomoDiie manu ' w www m m mar m IBM its way into all sections of North Carolina; and wherever it has been given a fair showing, has amply demonstrated its worth. Qneof the good things about this bean is that a large . proportion of the plant generally finds its way back into - the soil, in this way building up the fertility and making the crop yield there-after much more prott table. No leguminous Icroh- fitatefl Mr William. w;n " nui iiuytUTC lUC Dull UUie8S 8 large part of the plant is returned to the soil, Many farmer?, however, are under the impression that simply by growing the crop their soil is made more fertile. Because of the habits of growth of 'tie soy bean, and the fact that it is gen erally used for seed, a large per centage of this plant is always plowed under. Mr. Williams - finds that about two-thirds of the crop produced in North Carolina during 1918 went back into the soil for', its imjuxwe ment In most cgssg the sied were harvested before the plant was turned under. This same tying should be done this year, states Mr. Williams, and a $od amount of soy bean seed should' be saved in order to have on hand an ample supply for the increased acerage whichwill be planted, not only in Uds &tate, but in many of ihe other ctates.in 192Q; 6 MJ, COfiNCLDB UEUBFfiS TO COIIPETE FOR PRIZES AT STATE FAIR West Raleigh, N.C.

A .traffic census for Milwaukee County taken at intervals in the last four years showed the use of the highways by approximately 25. 000 cars a year during the four year period. "Here is a vivid demonstration 0f the immense benefit good roads mean in saving of money," contin ued the report "If one county in one State can effect a saving of over seven and one-half million dol lars a year, imagine the immense saving in every county, not only in one State, but in all forty-eight states in the Union. Even the low average of thirty counties for every State would give us a total 1440 counties, which, at the above yearly saving, would make a total of $10, 952,000,000, a sum over one-third the cost of America's participation in the world war Many of the States are going ahead with their road programs at a greater rate than ever before, and the Qovernmenfs aid to the States in road building is being largely called upon with the return to peace time conditions.
