SFCOND PAGE PUBLIC LEDGER SATURDAY, APRIL 22nd j THE PIG CLUB PROMINENT BANKER AND FARM ER TAKES ACTIVE INTEREST IN PIG CLUB WORK Mr. Geo. A. Holderness, former President of the State Bankers Asso ciation, a leading business man, prominent banker, farmer of Edge combe County, and private individual with a desire to be of greatest service to his county, has decided to use the Boys' Pig Club as a medium. He has made an offer to furnish pigs to the boys of his county up to the number of twenty-five. In furnishing these pigs the boy's personal note is taken as security by Mr. Holderness. In this way his offer does not become charity but a form of "Rural Credits" of the kind that brings results. Boys and girls to the number of twenty five by joining the Pig Club can ar range through their Demonstration Agent to secure one of the pigs. In accordance with the rules of the Pig Club Organization, only sows will be offered by Mr. Holderness, and each boy or sirl who takes one is to give his or her personal note with in terest at six percent. The note is pay able during 1916 as arranged when the sow is taken, and no other se curity is required. The sows are to be selected by the County Demonstra tion and Pig Club Agents who will set a fair price on each animal. When the note matures it is to be paid in cash or in pigs at market prices. In case the sow is a non-breeder, she may be returned and the note either canceled or another sow taken. In case of death of the sow before the litter is farrowed, due to causes other than neglect on the part of the Pig Club member, the note will be cancel ed by Mr. Holderness. Before the pig is placed, the mem ber must have grazing crops planted and arrangements made with the fa ther or guardian for the use of land for a succession of crops as decided by the County Agent. The father or guardian must agree to allow the Pig Club member to carry out the instruc tions of the Demonstration and the Pig Club Agents. The member is to observe the rules of the Pig Club in regard to keeping a record and mak ing a report of the work. The mem ber must also agree to show his pig at the Edgecombe County Fair. The member then showing the most pro fit and the best all-round results will get his pig free of charge as a Drize. The boys and girls who secure pigs under this agreement will form an organization known as the Holderness Pig Club and in the club Mr. Holder ness will take a deep personal in terest. O A Boy's Composition on Water Water is found everywhere, espe cially when it rains, as it did the other day, when our cellar was half full. Jane had to wear her father's rubber boots to get the onions for dinner. Onicns make your eyes water, and so does horseradish, when you eat too much. There is a good many kinds of water . in the world rain water, soda water, holy water and brine. Water is used for a good many things. Sailors use it to go to sea on. If there wasn't any ocean the ship couldn't float and they would have to stay ashore. Water is a good thing to fire at boys with a squirt, and to catch fish in. My father caught a big one the other day, and when he hauled it up it was an eel! Nobody could be saved from drowning if there wasn't any water to pull them out of. Water is first rate to put fires out with. I love to go to fires and see the men work at the engines. This is all I can think of about water except the flood. It is hard for a man to pay duty On imported goods without thinking he is a slave to custom.

MANY ABLE SPEAKERS ARE ON THE PROGRAM Large Delegation of Baracas and Phlla theas and Other Sunday School Workers Expected to Attend. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D. The program committee of the Baraca-Philathea Union was indeed lucky in being able to add to the al ready long list of able speakers the name of the famous evangelist, Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. Dr. Chapman is well knenn by thousands of people In North Carolina and his coming will add great ftrength to the program. The 75,000 Baraces and Philatheas in North Carolina will be interested to know that plans are now complete for what will probably be the greatest convention of organized Sunday School classes ever held in our state. The convention meets in Goldsboro, April 27-30. Much interest is being manifested in the coming meeting, and a large delegation of Baracas and Philatheas and other Sunday School workers is expected to be on hand. Special rates have been secured on all railroads and board and lodging in the Convention City can be obtained at a dollar per day.

Wilbur Chapman Dr. Chapman will have charge of one of the services at the Baraca-Philathea Convention. The great evan gelist is so well known throughout the State that many will attend the convention to hear his message. been sent in and others are coming in every day. In order to avoid a rush and for the sake of convenience both to the delegates and to the registra tion committee it was decided that when possible the delegates send in their names and registration fee bi 50 cents in advance to Miss Hattie Dewey, Goldsboro, and she will for ward badge and address of home t which delegate has been assigned This arrangement, we believe, will be to the advantage of all parties since the prominent speakers and workers who will take part on the program will in all probability attract an un usually large delegation. The coming convention will be the sixth since the state organizations were formed. Six years ago there were about 400 classes in the State; to-day there are over 2,000. The sis years of their existence have not only been marked by a wonderful growth in number of members and classes, but "the interest in the work seems to be on the increase. The organized Sunday School class has justified its existence by what it has done and is doing as a movement. No other plan of winning young men and young women to the Sunday School and Church has ever been discovered that brings the result like the Baraca Philathea movement. It is a fact for which the various denominations oi our State might well be proud that North Carolina heads the list of all the states of the Union in this work. A program worthy of the work that has been and is being done by the Baraca and Philathea classes of the state has been prepared for the con vention only a few days off. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and Dr. Alexander, known the world over for their great services as evangelists, will have charge of one session. Miss Hen rietta Heron, of Elgin, 111., vice-president of the World-Wide Baraca-Philathea Union and Dr. Chas. D. Bulla, ol Nashville, Tenn., superintendent oi the Wesley Adult Bible Class Move ment, are other prominent speakers and workers " from outside of our own state. A number of prominent Sun day School leaders from our own ranks will appear on the program. With special conferences for super intendents, pastors, and teachers and officers, under the direction of the I most efficient Sunday School workers Nine Million Dollar Product It is interesting to observe that notwithstanding the wide adaptation of conditions in this country to soy bean growing, twenty million pounds of soy bean oil, worth nine million dollars, were imported into the Unit ed States during the year 1915. It is also interesting to observe that during this same year 5,837,867 bushels of soy beans, worth $7,103, 000, were imported from the Orient into Great Britain. These latter were paid for at an average price of $1.21 per bushel. Does it not seem highly important for our pecple to produce enough of these beans to supply not our own dema-nds, but also to be in a position to compete for the uropean trade if advisable to do so? Praise is rare, but even a roast isn't always well done. Tp EWB L TEAM U EARM AND PLACE THE DIFFERENCE IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT IN THIS BANK. )PRACTICE THRIFT.
