Graham is published for the information and guidance of persons concerned. "Enlistments in National Guard up to and including June 30th will be de ducted from the quota of this state required under the selective service law. Use every effort to secure all enlistments possible through June 30. To get your citizens interested ex plain matters fully through local news papers." Only three natives of Warren Coun ty have volunteered in Company H. since the declaration of war. For a community having a local organization this is not a record to be proud of bix others, not natives, new residing in the County have volunteered. This at present gives Warren County a total credit of only nine men. Hali fax County will have a credit of about orty or forty-five men. This matter is up to the young man. flood of the County.

D. and J. H. Mvrick all MORE DOCTORS NEEDED The greatest immediate war need today, according to information that comes from the Council of National Defense at Washington, D. C, is that more medical men, particularly young physicians volunteer and that thev do this at once. One doctor is needed fnv every 100 men. Of the 100.000 don ors in the United States, only about 3,000 have accepted service, whereas the country needs at this time from 10,000 to 12,000 physicians to be made ready to take charge of the 1,000,000 men that will be called out by Septem ber 1. Modern medicine and surgery have established the fact that proper sanitation and hygiene should be given a place in the foremost ranks in any military activity on a large scale. For this reason the medical man in this war is of greater importance and in greater demand than he has ever been before. His services are as in dispensable to the health and morale of the men. in camp, as to the men at the front, or those in base hospi tals. It is the young doctors that the army needs most, the young men who have graduated within the past five or ten years but who have not yet firmly anchored themselves by family ties. These are especially needed for the Officers' Reserve Corps. At the present time the Medical Reserve Corps has a larger proportion of older physicians than younger.

Men who graduate this year or who have had one year hospital training and are younger than 32 years can enter the Medical Corps of the Army. Never before has the Medical Department of the Army or Navy offered such advantages for both patriotic services and rapid promotion- As a means of securing the number of doctors needed for the army at this time, the North Carolina State Com mittee on National Defense, medical oction, recently adopted a resolution recommending that Congress adopt the selective system for the doctors as it did for the men. The committee gave two reasons for their action which were, first, it would give an adequate medical service for taking care of the soldiers and, second, it would relieve individual physicians of the embar rassing position of deciding whether they think they can serve better in this country or in France.

March 5, 1800, she was happily mar ried to Richard Henry Harris; and he with their son, William Gray Harris, and daughter, Mrs. W. C. Haithcock,' survive. Mrs. Harris' life was quietly, indus triously and usefully spent in her na tive county. In whatever community she raided she won respect and friendship, and wielded an influence for good. How ever, she was probably at her best in her home, where love served and sacri ficed for her dear ones' comfort and happiness. She was a life-long Methodist, hav ing first joined the church in youth. The time of her last affliction extend ed through four years, becoming more and more a fiery trial, though she seemed never to think that some strange thing had hap'pened unto her. She suffered as a christian, and was not ashamed; believing that she was suffering according to God's will, she committed the keeping of her soul to Him; was cheerfully resigned, and re joiced as a partaker of Christ's suf ferings. Like the captain of her sal vation, it seemed to this writer that she was made perfect through suffer ings. 1 hough she evidentlv enioved worship in the home, yet she express ed a longing desire for the sweet and strengthening services of the Lord's house. Though those who loved her so con stantly and devotedly did what they could to alleviate her pain and pro long her stay, yet the end of it al came with the gentle close of the day, Friday, June 22, 1917, when the sanc tified spirit went back to God who gave it. As she directed, we placed her mor tal remains in the Macon cemetery, leaving some fragrant flowers as faint tokens of our love and esteem As we sorrow we shall rejoice that, "The saints who die of Christ pos sessed Enter into immediate rest; For them no further test remains Of purging fires and torturing pain." R. H. BROOM PURE BRED CATTLE FOR N C At the recent sale of pure bred Shorthorn cattle held at West Jef ferson, 21 head were sold at an aver age of .$193.00 each which is the high, est average yet reached for cattle sold at auction within the State. Only four went out of the state, the re maining ,17 being taken by North Car olina buyers who are interested in de veloping herds of pure bred beef cat tle. The sale was held under the aus pices of the American Shorthorn Breed ers Association in co-operation with the Office of Beef Cattle Field Work of the North Carolina Experiment Sta- County will agree with me in this, tion. Mr. F. I. Derby of Ward, Ala. S I will say to you, the matter will be consigned the cattle. j heard by the Board on the 3rd day I notice the Headlight, in a very Is bored article in last week's issue, attempts to show that I, as Chairman of the Board of Education, have been blocking legislation, as he attempts to put it. Now it seems to me that a News paper that is not willing to state plain facts in any matter, just as they exist,- is too partizan and nar row to be credited by the people. J wish to say that the facts in the case are tlese, and nothing more nor less:- Mr. J. S. Davis, a member of the Board, on the first Monday in June asked me as Chairman to allow him to file charges against Howard F. Jones, Superintendent. I refused to allow him to do so. Why? Simply because the School Law says (under section 4126). "complaints shall be made to State Superintendent, and that charges against a Superintendent shall be filed with the County Board by the State Superintendent of schools and that the County Board shall in vestigate and hear such charges and determine the matter." This is plain Law, and any man with a spark of intelligence can understand it. Strange indeed that Mr. Hardy does not. Mr. Hardy states that I would not call a meeting in June because I was afraid for Mr. Davis to sit on the matter. Here again Mr. Hardy dis- ! ijmya ignorance, or ne is trying to fool the public; because J am sure Mr. Davis ha3-klKwn all along that the common law excludes him from sit ting on the matter he having made the charges. Now Mr. Hardy, Mr. Davis knows and you know that the Law excludes Mr. Davis from sitting on the matter. I hen why not state it so? Do you want me to call a meeting before I can .get a full Board to sit on the matter, or call a meeting for Mr. Rooker, and myself to determine the matter? Would this be fair to Mr. Davis or to Mr. Jones ? I wish co be fair to Mr. Davis and also to Mr. Jones in this matter. Therefore, knowing the Law excluded Mr. Davis from sitting on the Board atthe trial, I have called a meeting July 3rd, and that is -just as soon as I could get a full. Board. Now the question naturally arises why did Mr. Davis wait until the 1st Monday in June' to attempt to file charges against Supt. Jones ? He has known of the charges for several months. Well, Mr. Hardy I will try to enlighten you a little more (for it seems you can't take it in). Mr. Davis has never expected to sit on the case himself.' I crive him credit or being too much of a erentleman o attempt to do so.

Early in the mornings the Red Cross that emblem of hope and of mercy, of comfort and cheer to those in distress made its apearance upon the windows of the stores, and upon the headdress of many of Warrenton's young ladies interested in this worthy cause.

It is well worth remembering. About two weeks ago our home was burned and comparatively everything we had in the house was consumed by me nre, even to, our clothes. In a few days after this misfortune a band of the good men of Areola and Grove Hill went to work to rebuild our home. They hauled the timber and built us a house in two days. While the men were doing this the women were b is. making clothes for my wife and two little boys. Others who could not give their time gave money towards replacing the household' and kitchen furniture. Not only our neighbors, but people at a distance .helped us. . m less than a week from the time of the fire, our home was completed, we had -moved in, and we are now very comfortably situated. Most of this is due to our good friends. Many thanks to each and everyone who has helped us in any way, and may God's richest bless ings rest upon each of you. M. T. HARRIS. ully studied, and the members are going forward in their desire to learn to be of service to our country in this war for democracy, humanity, and justice. The officers of the local chapter are Miss Esther Jerman, chairman; Mrs. Peter Arrington, vice-chairman; Miss Laura Burwell, secretary and treasur er. To these ladies along with the able assistance and co-operation of many more is due the credit for get ting the work under way, and for its successful management. Tne recruiting committee nnd thnso assisting in the sale of cream on Sat urday were: Mrs. Wt. R. Strickland, Mrs. W. A. Graham, Mrs. Edmund White, Mrs. M. P. Burwell; Misses Caroline Dargan, of Raleigh, Laura Boyd, Mary Polk, Laura Burwell, Hat tie Palmer, Mamie Williams, Annie Euiwell, and little Misses Fannie and Katherine Scoggin, and Alice Little- page Burwell. Ice cream will be sold by the Chap ter on first Monday, and an especial effort made to enlist members. Strick land's Garage will be down-town head quarters. The attention of the citi zens of the County and of the town are called to this. The Red Cross de. serves and calls for the support of every American citizen. MR.

STATE INTERESTED IN SILOS SERVICES AT MACON The Macon Methodist Sunday School is to meet next Sunday at 9:45 a. m., and the regular session is to be fol lowed by a Patriotic Service of suita ble songs and appropriate addresses. The offering will be applied to the Red Cross work. A cordial invitation is extended the entire community. " Circumstance often makes the sinner. Twenty-five requests for help in building silos even in face of high prices for corn seems to mean that the farmers of the State are beginning to get interested in the question of silos as a means of cheap food for dairy and beef cattle during the win ter. This number of requests were on hand in the Office of Beef Cattle and Sheep Work immediately after it was made public that Mr. E. C. Turner, a graduate of the College, would spent his time this summer aiding the two beef cattle field men in building silos. ( Mr. Turner is not at work in Lenoir County in the vicinity of Kinston with County Agent McCrary. After that he has a busy three months ahead on account of the numerous inquiries in regard to the work. Mr. A. S. Cline who will do the same work for the Office of Dairy Farming is now in Ashe County constructing silos for dairy men. x - According- to Mr. R. S.

THE HEART OF THE HAPPY HILLS There's a wonderful country, lying Far off from the noisy town, Where the wind flower swings, And the veery sings,' And the tumbling brooks come down 'Tis a land of light and of laughter, Where peace all the woodland fills: 'Tis the land that lies 'Neath . the summer skies In the heart of the happy hills. The road to that wonderful country Leads out from the gates of care; And "the tired . feet In the dusty street Are longing to enter there; And a voice from that land is calling In the rush of a thousand rills . "Come away, away, To the woods to-day, To the heart of the happy hills." Far away in that wonderful country Where skies are always blue. In the shadows cool, By the foaming pool, We may put on strength anew; We may drink from the magic foun tains Where the wine of life distils; And never a care -Shall find us there, we'll demand; we'll calmly put away the gun m our umbrella stand. Some nations, worn by pain and-jtoil, may possibly remark that William should be boiled in oil, his son fed to a shark. But there's no hatred in our heart, we're sane and circumspect; when we have upset Bill's apple cart, harsh measure's we'll reject. We'll put old Kaiser Bill away, where he can do no harm, and set the Kron Prinz pitching hay on some sequestered farm.' For Hidenburg a lonely rock, an island bleak and bare, where gulls around his head will flock, and lay eggs m his hair. We wish to see the German State once more a happy land, and we shall whoop no hymn of hate, when old Red Bill is canned. But she must still be pounded down till Bill no more shall own his ermine, scepter, sword, and crown, his scrofula and throne.
