Major Graham's many Warrenton' and Warren county friends are glad to esrn of his promotion, and trust that every good thing may attend him in :hi5 military career. Captain E. C.

A number of normal alumni met at the home of Mr. J. A. Dameron at four-thirty Wednesday and organized with the following officers: Mi3s Mariam Boyd, of Warrenton, presi dent; Mrs. A. C. Blzseil, of. Norlina, vice- president; Miss Mary Powell, of Macon, secretary and treasurer. This Association is & unit inthe State-wide "Alumni Association of the Normal, and is organized to aid in th work of this State Association. The question of the advisability of placing women upon local school boards was discussed. It was pointed out that in-many -statsa that women were holding positions on school boards, and that wherever th:3 was the cace educational progress was in evidence. This question will bo thor oughly gone into, and it is hoped by the Association that women as mem-' bers of our local school board.3 may be in evidence in our county very soon Another question which the local Association is much interested i3 that dealing with the difference in salar ies between men and women. The question of "equal pay for equal work" is always' a live one, and there is ho field - wherein there is as much need for a readjustment of the salary basis than that found in the teaching pro fession. The Association can do great things for Warren and the teachers of the County, and it is believed that it will be an active, progressive and helpful body. - The gathering and the perfection 0f the organization arising therefrom is due the efforts cf Miss Julia Dameron. Miss Dameron is a graduate of the Normal, a splendid teacher, and a woman who is always active in pro ducing educational progress. TRE ROUGH, HARD SPOTS "othe hardest .thing first," is the met to; "hanging "above the "desk of a very successful business man. . This man has told me that that single short sentence has wronght a revolu tion in his life. "One day I suddenly realized," ho said, "that I had fallen into-the h&it of nutiine off unDlsas- ant duties and evading disagreeable or difficult tasks, until the ghosts of them blocked my jpath at every turn. I put up that motto where I could not help seeing it, and set myself to bring each day's work in line with it. The firijt day I began on the duties I had kept pushing aside, the long-deferred, long over-due tasks, that had been pufc out of sight in favor of the easy, pleasant things. When at length i had cleared my path, I made it a nns to begin each morning h morning at the biggest toughest job in the whole day's work before me. I gave my freshest ef forts to the kind of work I had pre viously put off tne longest, and before a great while I found that what used to loem up before me like a mountain of difficulty, when handled with ener gy and determination, 'was really very tH I 13 llSf 51 simple and comparatively easy. It is ( increased yearly, and especially be ta the forming of thisjiebit to do the .cause, of the necessity for the very hardest thing first, more than to any- best farming at this time, the ojTcin.!j thing else, that I owe what is called 'of the Convention arc confront all success.' A great many people fail in thi3 life for no ether reason than that ! they shrink from doing the hard, dis-J agreeable things. They pick cut the j xhe fiends of Mr. John L.

They do j.v-5 for seVcraI years connected with not seem to realize that this antici-uv.p Warrenton mXrairi Irorroiva pacing, dreading work is fatal to ef ficiency, and cuts off the largest per centage of one's pevrer. The con sciousness that there is always some disagreeable thing ahead, waiting to be done, affects the" disposition anoc makes one fractius and irritable. The mind is al30 injuriously affected. It loses its elasticity, its freshness and buoyancy. The great failure army is filled with men and women who from their youth up shrank from all the difficult or un pleasant tasks in life. It i3 as foolish to do this as it would be to shrink from all physical exercise, from using our muscles and faculties. It is only by use, by e3Tort, by exertion, that grow. In the last analysis, experience is our only asset. Doing the hardest things first does not, mean that it is always possible or advisable to pick out the difficult things in our work and do them out cf their order. It simply means that one should not skip the hard things Number 94 Sc. A COPY FOOD G8SYE3iTfOH Raleigh, August 2 Arrangements are rapidly being completed for the fifteenth annual Farmers' and Farm Women's State Convention, which will be held at the State College of Agri culture and Engineering, beginning Tuesday morning, August 28th, at 8 o'clock and ccrtinuing until Thursday noon, .August SC'th. It is expected that not less than 1,000 farmers and farm women will attend the Conven tion this year. The attendance last year was more than 700. The Convention, always a source of inspiration and instruction and at tended by earnest men and women from .all sections of the State, will this year be more of a working prof jsi tion even than usual. Because cf the critical food situation through on fc t!:.? Nation and the world, the central idea at the Convention will "bo food pro duction and conservation s-.nd the far mers of the Stato from the Coastal Plains to the Blue Ridgs viil have an opportunity to learn by lecture and demonstration the why and hor of the production of all food and feed crops suitable for their respective sectaor.3. The mornings will be devoted mo sectional meetings for the men in which actual class room instruction and laboratory instructions will Lc given. This is something of a depar ture from the custom of the pact but will no doubt be worth" much More to those who come to the Convention .to learn. On the afternoons of Tuesday and Wednesday ihcre v.'iil be Joint ses sions cf the Men's and Women's Con vention at which time some of the best speakers obtainable will address tho5:e present upon vital topics -bearing directly upon the part of North Carolina men and women and the pro duction and oonservation of food and feed. The evening sessions will be given over to one lecture each evening and to motion pictures;. The Convention this year will par take considerably more of the nature of a short course of agriculture and live stock instruction - than'. has., been the custom heretofore. The farmer will be given an .opportunity to get authoritative infonnaticn on any farm problem and to witness actual demon strations in many instances. There will be several sections going all hours cf the morning so that the farmer will ! -e able to g at the information he de bires on a pa 'ticular ;suLiect without listening to rther sub-ice 1 3 which might not interest hrr Among 'Joe subjects for instruction and demon stration will be: Swine, L.ef Cattle, Dairy Cattle and Poultry, S"cd Selec tion, Preparing Seed, etc. All the railroads are giving special rates for the Convention good from August 26tn to September 2na. The .'expense of the Convinticn to those ,v'" attend will "be very smrll--the college provide" dormitory room with out charge and meals at a cost of only 25c each. Ail who attend, however, vilKbe required to bring tbsir own . ked sheets, pillows, tcvels and nccas- sary toilet artiiles. Not only the attendance but the .helpfulness of the Convention has bcn previous records will bz L-raashrd. DEATH OF JOHN L.
