After Stormy Trip; Ship Injured By Collission and Goes To Halifax For Repairs. New York, Dec. 18. Substantial ev idence of the fierce winter, storms which have prevailed for the last ten clays along the steamer lanes between i this country and Europe was shown by eight big passenger liners - which, ar rived! here tod ay with more than 17,000 belated passengers.

The ships arriving were the Rotter dam from Holland", via Plymouth; tb.3 Baltic, Royal George, Carmania and Caronia from British ports, via Hali fax; the LaFayette from Havre, Ber jgensfjord from Norway and Europia from Genoa. All were from three to five days overdue and some of them reached ports too late to dock before tomorrow morning. The first of the big liners to come in to her dock was the Rotterdam, which reached quaran tine late last night. . She was three days late arid her master, Captain J. Baron, declared that the trip was the roughest he had ever made. His declaration was supported by Rear Admiral Andrew T. Long, of the United States Navy, who returned af ter ecorting the King and Queen of the Belgians back to their country. Admiral Long said that one week ago, when in mid-Atlantic, the weather was so rough that the big Jiner was rocked like a cradle. One of the passengers was thrown to the deck and suffered a broken leg. On board the ship wer five stowaways, who were scared from their hiding , place - by - the - rough weather. m The Carmania, another of the belat ed ships, had to put in at Halifax to repair damages caused by a collision ct sea with another ship of the Grand Banks. Many of her passengers were landed at the Canadian port. . j The Caronia from Southamtou was close to the Carmania when the acci dent occured and responded to her wireless calls by putting about an1 r " W"' .

The generous and benevolent people of North Carolina have been asked to help America to despond to the cry of the suffering Armenian an? Syrians for aid and Warren county has been alloted 21 or phans to adopt in a big campaign to be waged February 1st to 22nd in clusive. North Carolina's quota for adoption is 3,334 orphans of the Near East. . Tne North Carolina campaign will be directed by an executive committee of influential and prominent citizens headed by State Chairman George H. Bellamy, of Wilmington. Mr. Claude W. Hopper is the State Campaign Di? rector. The funds will be handled! by Mr. Robt A. Brown, of the Citizens National Bank, Raleigh. Chairman xaliamy now is organizing his work ers and every county will have its own chairman who will be assisted by a corps of loyal cohorts. The final or ganization will be assisted by a corps of loyal cohorts. The final organza ganization will be announced soon. Although the Near East Relief Com ' Ittee is already caring for between 70,000 and !80,000 Armenian and Syr ian children in its . orphanages, there are still 250,000 homeless babies to be housed, clothed, fed and! educated. Many of these little children are sleep ing in the streets. They would gladly Jbe at home in a manger. ' Will the people of North Carolina as sist to giv ' food to a hungry child, clothe the' naked and provide a place f r the homeless to sleep ?, is the ques tion that State Chairman Bellamy is asking.

Although National Thrift Week, which opens January 17, is some tlmf away, the Savings Division of the United States Treasury has already torn-, pleted tentative plans for its, observance. The purpose of the week wilJ be to start the country off in the New Year with a sound financial program for every individual and every household. Two ends are sought, according to official announcement: First, thai the condition of the individual be improved, and second, that the financial and industrial strength of the nation be increased by the great sums of cap! tal which will be accumulated through the practice of systematic saving and sound investment on the part of the people. The -program for National Thrift Week, as at present tentatively planned though at this time subject to slight change, has been announced from Washington as follows: . ' Saturday, January 17, 1920 National Thrift Day To enlist the nation in a campaign to "Save First and Spend Afterward." Sunday, January ,18 Thrift Sunday -Sermons In all American pulpits on the relation of economic life to religious welljbeing, and the need of aharing with others. . v Monday, January 19 National Life Insurance Day To emphasize the importance of individual and family protection. Tuesday, January 20 Own-Your-Own-Home Day To show- the pleasure Mid profit which come from owning your own home. - Wednesday, January 21 MakeA-Will Day To urge upon men and women who possess property the necessity of making provisions for. its proper distri bution. v ' - Thursday, January 22 Thrift-in-Industry Day To emphasize the need of thrift in all plants and mills and factories and the economic value of co-operation between capital and labdr. Friday," January 23 Family Budget Day To show the Importance of using business methods in the conduct of the household. - Saturday,; January 24 Pay-Your-Bills Day To stress the moral obliga- lion to seme an aeois as promptly as possioie. It is believed that the observance of this week cannot fail to Improve the industry and moral tone of the nation since, it is designed to inculcate sound business principles which inevitably lead to increased prosperity and happi ness. ... ... , At the -State Agricultural College, West Raleigh, there will begin on Jan uary 8 a Three Weeks vShort Course in Agriculture. This course has been arranged by the College to .come at a slack time of the year with farmers and to embrace only subjects of direct practical value to the busy farmer. A goodly number of farmers, no doubt, will make it a point this year to go to the College from 'this section for this special . work in practical agriculture. Most farmers have had a fairly good year in their farming and have gotten at least fair prices for what they have sold from the farm. Now in order that those of us who are engaged in farming may be better prepared for better farming next year and in subsequent ""years than we have been in the past, it would appear to be the part of wis dom for us to take a few days off in January, to go to , the College and profit by "what will be offer there in lu'es are attending -nd profiting by the Short- Course. People in other similar boiled-down short courses, will rot a large number of our farmers do the same? ; , The Course this" year will include such matter as field crops, commercial fertilizers and farm manures, pruning spraying, insect and disease enemies of crops and fruit tree3 and the most effectivr method of their prevention and control; farm dairying, poultry raising, livestock feeding, handling and judging, soil management, fruit and vegetable growing, diseases of farm livestock and their prevention and control, and ga3 engines and farm tractors. Those attending the Course will be supplied fret.uition, and board and room may be secured in close proxim ity to the College at reasonable prices. Those wishing further information with reference to the Course, cost, etc., may secure it from the Dean of Agri culture, West Raleigh, N. C.
