Allow V? show you .this perfect line ot ASSIST THE TEACHER. A Plea For Tbe Hearty Co-Operallon of The Parents. I wish to make an earnest plea to your readers who are patrons of the public schools for the active co-op eration of the home with the school, of the parent with the teacher, in securing increased and regular at tendance upon the public schooL- and in enforcing discipline and faith ful and conscientious performance by the children of assigned schoo1 duties. Statistics show that only 45 per cent of the total school population. between the ages of six and twenty one, is in daily attendance upon the public schools; and only 64.7 per cent of the total number of children enrolled in the public schools attend daily during the session of schools. It is impossible for any teacher, however interesting he may make the vork of the school, and however faithful he may be in the perform ance of his duties, to secure regu larity and punctuality of attendance or the faithful performance of school duties, especially of work assigned to be done out of school hours, with out the hearty co-operation of pa rents at home. ividny parents ao not realize that if , i . , . . ctnei d cnim Degms to attend school going to school should be and is his f. j i , . . . , mam business in life. As childho is the habit-forming and character building period of life, the manner n which he does his school work, and the business habits that he ac quires in the performance of "this main business of the formative pe riod of his life, will determine the manner in which he will perform he main work of his life in the world as a man, will fix the business habits of his life and be most potent n the shaping of his character. If he is allowed to be irregular in his attendance upon school, careless, lovenly and unsystematic in the performance of his other school duties, lit ""Ju iiOt Oiily uttlTit,UC"CeSS- ful in his school business, but he will almost certainly form and fix busi ness habits that will doom him to failure in manhood fci an exacting business world, where competition is growing sharper every day. The child that is allowed to stav away from school upon the slightest pre text of bad feeling, bad weather, or the placing of a day's pleasure be fore a day's duty at school, will al most inevitably grow into a man or a woman that will put pleasure be fore duly, that will be frequently found absent from his business and his post of duty upon the slightest pretext, that will lack that grit and strength of character that enable him to overcome obstacles and to perform unpleasant duties for duty's sake. In the name of the child, for his future welfare, therefore, I most earnestly appeal to every parent to co-operate with the teacher of the child in securing regular and punct ual attendance, prompt and cheerful obedience to every reasonable re quirement cf properly constituted authority in childhood, in the form ative period of life, for the fountain of habits and the development of that, strength that alone can give any reasonable assurance for suc cess and service in manhood.

ALL ORUGGISTS 11-16 " ' it:- cR-BS Mr. James Levering in "Private Secretary.' MRS. CHRISTIAN HOSTESS. She Delightfully Entertains The Halifax Chapter U. D. C. HnHfav N C . Oct.. 9 Thnrsdav ' ' ' " iast was a red istter day for the Ha!ifax Chapter Gfthe United Daughters of the Confederacy, At 8:30 a. m. about twenty-five daugh ters and guests boarded the train for Tillery, there to be received by Capt. C. N. Christian, who had in readiness carriages and automobiles which quickly conveyed them to the farm where they were greeted by that most estimable lady, Mrs. Christian, who placed them in full possession of her home while she did the honors as hostess. At 1 p. m. dinner was announced, and oh, such a dinner; the host and hostess had simply excelled them selves and broke all past records in this repast. Two long tables, dec orated in red and white guraximms, scarlet sage and lovely white rose?;, were beautiful to the eye,-and laden with such things as are tempting to all alike. Mrs. Jennie Kale, presi dent of the U. D. C, gave a toast to the hostess, followed by one to the host by Mrs. Jennie Travis, and dur ing the courses Miss Nell Nelson drank one to the Daughters so did Rev. Mr. Cunningham; Mrs. Virginia Nelson Weller then gave one to the old Veterans; Miss Virginia Hale to "Dixie"; as we rose Mrs. Lizzie Stedman gave one to the guest and all. Most delicious cream was served, made by Mrs. Christian, who sur passes in this art. The table assigned the daughters was made of solid walnut, hand carv ed, hand inlaid, and made by two convicts. In the inlaid work were numbers 5,555, very small pieces of four kinds of wood in their natural colors. The table is placed at a very high valuation, because of its intri cate and unique workman-ship. The day was an ideal one, and every thing went merrily on. there being only one thing to detract from its pleasures, the absence of Capt. and Mrs. Laughinghouse, who were expected to grace the occasion with their presence. Soon after dinner the regular meeting was called to order by the president, prayer being offered by Rev. Mr. Cunningham, after which the business of the Chapter was dis patched, and the following program being observed: Chorus The Old North State, by the Daughters. Reading Mrs. Florence Wilcox. Vocal Duet See The Pale Moon, by Mrs. Miller and Miss Nelson. Contest Nick-names of States. Chorus Maryland, My Maryland, by the Daughters. Reading Mrs. Steadman. Vocal Duet Because, Mrs. Travis and Miss Hale. Chorus Dixie, the DughWs. Enjoyable music was furnished by the Daughters all during the morn ing, and trips made over the farm and stockade were much enjoyed. a iTfcffnl lnnheon was served i. X fc"- - " - just before the time of leaving, con-! sisting of hot chocolate, turkey A.T.r? t?.11ps ppIpt-v. wafers. etc by Mrs. Christian and her ef-j ficient aides, Mesdames Register and Steadman. While carriages and autos were waiting all said good-bye, and left many thanks to the best and hostess who during the day had left nothing undone that contributed to the pleasure of the guests. All were driven to Tillery to take the train for their homes in Halifax de claring the day one of the very pleasantest tor a long time W. F. COPPEDGE. GAVE THEM A CHANCE. Jadse Alien's Disposition of Three Bad Boys. Judge O. H. Allen, presiding at the present term of Superior Court, has a warm heart and it is in the right place. Yesterday afternoon three young men, aged perhaps be tween 20 and 25 years, were convict ed of larceny in entering a store at Gibsonville. One entered a plea of guilty and the evidence was so plain that a verdict was reached without the jury leaving the box. Asking them to stand up, Judge Allen de livered a lecture to them and to all in tbe court room. He said he had a word to say to the grand jury about the neglect of children pro ducing criminals and that this case was one of them. He did not want to send them to the roads, so he fin ally entered aa order that they be confined in jail twelve months, with power in the county commissioners to hire them out to some farmer. As stated the incident shows his hen or's heart is in the right place; he may have erred, but it was on the side of mercy. One of the young men, however, if not more, is an incorrigible. His father has spent enough money on him to buy a farm or two and finally had to abandon him. An officer present in the court room said another of the trio was ascrooked as a man could well be and still another officer told the boys when returning them to jail that they would remain with a farm er only long enough to get well fed. when all of them would run away. But Judge Allen has given them a chance and it is up to them to leac abetter life or go still d eeper in tht depths. Greensboro Record. 3,663,000 Bales Ginned.

Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which rlso pro duces baldness. Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else. No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be in fected with microbes, which wili in fect your scalp. It is far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or brush may well lead to baldness. Never try on any body else's hat. Many a hat-Land is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldness, we have a remedy which we believe will completely relieve these troubles. We are so sure cf this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim. This remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it to be the most scientific remedy for .scalp and hair troubles, and we know of nothing else that equals it for ef fectiveness, because of the results it has produced in thousands of cases. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and make the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this because it stimulates the hair folicies, destroys the germ mat ter, and brings about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nourish es the hair roots, causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble with hair or scalp to know that we think that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is the best hair tnnic and restorative in existence, and no one should scoff at cr UoJbt this statement unui uiey ! have nut our clai.-n to a fair test, - ill wiih the undemanding that they j ; pay us nuihkg i'-r the remedy if it; ; doe:. iul ive full -nd complete sat- I isfaction in every particular, lwo sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.

Up around West End, Jackscn Springs, Eagle Springs and other centers of population in the western end of Moore county a movement in real estate similar to that which has attracted so much attention in the lower end of the county, is taking place. A large amount of land is being cleared up and a good many new farms are being developed. Just as soon as the northerly end of the county wakes up to the value of good roads and gets busy building thm the boom will be felt in that section. No region which lacks good roads or the intention to construct them can ever hope to shai e in the prosperity of more progressive sect ions, r arms that cannot be reach ed easily and from which markets are not readily accessible will never find quick sale and good prices un less they are believed to have min ing or other unusual possibilities. Of course a farm that has a gold mine or an on well on it will sell anywhere, but if cotton, corn, fruit, truck or general farm products must be transported to market or to the railroad, the improved highway is the key to the situation. Then, too, in these days real live farmers do not care to buy where they must slowly toil through sand six inches deep when they can find farms else where where they can get to town in half the time and with twice the pleasure.

In days of yore, on the traditional authority of Misi Edgevorth, I was taught that the kick of a fly reaches to America. Who could have ever thought that a circumstance so trif ling as that of Miss Anna P. Morgan tying with a running string her skirr round her ankle prefatory to an aviation flight could be to th great industry of Roubaix as th ill wind that blows nobody good. Some snob essess who saw this contrivance de vised by the daughter of a foremost New York banker took the notion as an elegant novelty to the Rue do la Paix, where it was st once adopt ed.
