This is such a small request. Its purposes is too lofty to be met with refusal from anyone who can possi bly spare a dollar. The same devotion to the" welfare 0f the nation should be exercised in the days of peace as in the days of rar. We must not drop back into the personal unconcern which allow ed before the war one baby out of seven to die before it reached seven years of age and which caused 800, 000 American boys to be raised un der such purely preventable -physical neglect that they were unfit to don the uniform of America and protect the ideals and freedom of the land for which their fathers bled and died. Whose business Js it to look after the public welfare, one may ask? And the answer is plain "Yours as an American citizen under the organized effort of the Red Cross." . v Think of this when the canvassars, whose time is as precious in many in i stances as yours, come 10 reques your enrollment for them with a smile, lend 1920.

This would be nearly $40 for every family in the United States. The corn crop is even greater. The value of the corn raised in a single year could pay the national debt, with interest for one year, and leave'enough to help out President Wilson on gov- ernmental expenses so that there need be no deficit for four or five years.

The National inspiration that expressed , itself through the American Red Cross should be kept in some permanent form, says Cardinal Merrier, Primate of Belgium, in a statement issued here today. ; "I feel a profourd sympathy for your Amsrican Red Cross. During four sorrowful years of war among a people who had much to suffer, I learned the full importance of your work what you did for the wounded, and not only for them, but for those who were, sick and for their families. "I know that your membership has grown from 400,000 to almost 20,000, 000. This is a splendid progress in a splendid movement. "Still there is one thing which Tap preciate more than quantity it is quality. Quantity is one thing you have. But for the quality of your hearts and your charity for mankind for all these I offer you my expression of admiration. And when I shall go back home, after some time, I shall tell my people not only of what yoa were during the war, but what you are already coming to be, our perma nent institution for charity towards mankind. "Your American Red Cross is mag nificent, and the extent of its work and its membership ' is simply marvelous. Of course, without such support from the whole American people it would have been obviously impossible to ac complish the wonderful things your Red Cross did during the war. Such a national inspiration should be cap tured and held for the benefit of so ciety." Cotton Associa tion To Canvass Raleigh Nov. 3. The quotas for the jcotton growing ountica-Tiire'ing worked out and will, beent to f the county chairmen and the newspapers during the present week. State Cam paign Director S G. Rubinow is urg ing all cotton campaign officials to get the teams of canvassers ready for the drive which will be started on Monday arid continued through the, week. All counties which have not completed their organization are urged to tight en up their forces in order that thev j may go into the contest on next Mon day, November 10th with everything in favor of making the campaign a complete success. The cotton campaign is supposed to be worked as intensely as were the Red Cross, Liberty Loan and other campaigns the opportunity of join ing should be extended to every farm er and every business man in the coun ty. If additional literature or infor mation about the aims and purposes of the Cotton Association are needed these will be supplied upon applica tion to state headquarters at Raleigh. Beginning immediately, however, and running through the end of the cam paign, headquarters will send circular letters to every member of every or ganization in the state in order to keep these men and women posted on the developments and to impart sucn other information as will be neces sary for the complete success of the campaign. SIMM IfSSlT TO II I j IlJi U! WINNER OF ARMY AIR DER BY PAYS STATE A VISIT Takes Gov. T. W- Bickett To Wake Forest and Return In Airplane; Governor Didn't Like Dips. Governor Thomas W. Bickett climb ed aboard Lieutenant Belvin W. May "nard's De Haviland airplane yester day afternoon shortly after two . o'clock and in less than ten minutes was swooping in dizzy circles above , the heads of a welcoming crowd gath ered on the golf links at Wake Forest, seventeen miles away to greet the winner in the trans-continental air race. The short field prohibited a landing, and the ceremonies which had been planned in honor of Lieutenant Llay nard were postponed until last night when Governor Bickett and President W. L. Poteat, of Wake Forest, plus hundreds of Meredith College and Ox ford College girls and the normal Wake Forest contingent heaped on Maynard the delayed honors. It was by the Governor's insistence that he took his first air flight. Ar rangements had been made to carry him over to Wake Forest in the after noon in readiness for the arrival of Lieutentant Maynard, Sergeant Kline and "Trixie" in their plane a few min utes later. But the Governor insist ed on flying, arid Lieutenant Maynard was willing. Mrs. Bickett, it appears, was not consulted, but the Governor was careful, after he donned Ser geant Kline's tight-fitting coat, hia , helmit and gogles to remind some one to tell his wife how pretty h looked. Regards To Max., "Give my regards to Max Gardner and tell him to make the best Govern or he can," the Governor called out as he crammed himself down, in the seat that Sergeant JKline and Trixie usually- occupy. "Trixie" wasn!t a bit im- . pressed with the honor of having a mere governor occupy her accustomed place, and she put up a merry little piece of disorder as the plane took off. Then she found that Sergeant . Kline had also been left behid, and took the loss philosophically. : . It was an ideal day for flying. A slight wind was blowing but the sun was warm and the sky entirely clear. For thirty minutes or more, the Gov ernor was in the air. With Lieuten ant Maynard, he circled about Ral eigh, then made a straight course for Wake Forest, coming into the golf links from the east. Around and around the plane soared, the powerful motor roaring. Landing Field too Short. The landing field elected by Lieu tenant Maynard Sunday afternoon, was that part of the golf links, com posing a ort of level valley between two sloping hills half a mile from Wake Forest. On either side of the embankment the crowds were thick. Eagerly they watched the plane as it swept around coming low over the tree tops and then darting upward. Several times, the pilot plungea downward, as if to land, and then took off skyward again. Finally, there was a yell: "Here he comes." The big plane shot down over the tree tops, almost kissed the earth, ran parallel with it for twenty-five yard and then as Lieutenant Maynard shook his head vigorously in nega tive fashion, 0 pointed its nose at ' startling angle and Maynard was leaving Wake JTorest. He explained last night to a disap pointed crowd that his inability to land was due to the fact that the wind was blowing from the north and it was necessary for him to enter the field from that direction. Under such conditions, the field lacked much of being long enough to make a safe landing. Didn't Like the Swooingp Lieutenant Maynard made a perfect experience during his administration land at Raleigh on the return trip and the Governor climbed out of the car, having completed another unique of varied happenings. "That; flying was great," the Gov ernor said. "The only thing I didn't like was the swooing down over the, tree tops. That made me nervous." Miss Mary Perkinson was the first lady, in Hawtree to join the Red Cross. A colored man of the same township heads the colored roll in Warren.
