' Dr. Fisher was twice called upon and he made a strong plea for the ohysical directors to unite in one migh ly effort to; get into closer contact with the boys of the various associa tions because it is the boys who are nore closely allied with the common j interest and consequently have the iblest opportunities of doing the most good.

BROTHERS OPEN IW STORES Chain That Stretches From Seaboard to Mountains is Lengthened Two new -sores will be established by Belk Brothers within the next sev eral days, one at Kannapolis and the Mother at Winston Salem. The two new ones are. merely additional links in the chain of stores that are operated by the Belks in almost every city of consequence in the State. The Belk Williams store represents Wilming ton. in the chain that stretches from the Atlantic Seaboard to the mountain ous section of the west. The Kannapolis store is now in the course ' of remodeling for occupation and according to statements issued by the management will be ready for oc cupation in a very short while. The Hanes building, which is occu pied by the Winston Salem lodge of Elks., will be the location of the Belk Brothers store in that city. Located ,i in the heart of the business section of Winston it is said to be one of the best sites obtainable. .Tha first Belk store was opened in Monroe in 1888 and the total num ber now doing business, including two new ones, will be 15.

SHORTAGE OF MATCHES: Manufacturers Unable to Fill Orders-i-Price of Material Goes Up. Matches, of 11 kinds from the sophis ticated and well mannered parlor match down through . the canny and cautious little safety match, which no Afterglow are due for another advance in price by the first of the year, ac cording to current report. The reason is the rapid advance in price of potash, wood, amorphous phosphorous for the sides of boxes and even the paper from which the boxes, are made since "the beginning of jtheiiwar; and. in all prob ability will continue . to advance . -Wholesale dealers state that matches have advanced around 1 5 per cent, in price since the beginning of. the war but add there has been, no increase during the past month. They say fur ther, howeyer. that' the match supply seems 6 be limited and t that of late there has been difficulty and notice able" delay, in the. filling.: of or ders sent to the 'match companies An early advance in the price oi matches is not improbable or unexpect ed.

Mr. Mc. B. Wilson has been chosen as Captain of the organization. Mr. Wilson, is a military genious, having proven this in some of the contests bald at Fort Caswell this summer, and the mem bers should feel proud of the fact that they were able to secure his ser vices. Those behind the proposition will leave nothing unturned in making this a great success, and every Pythian in the community is urged to assist iri every way possible. The permanent officers are: Mr. McB. Wilson, . Cap tain; Mr. S. F. Garrison,-First Lieut.j Mr . Fred E . Little, Second Lieut. ; . Mr, R . D . Christman, Recorder; Mr . W , P . M cGlbughon, Treasurer ; Mr. G . B Moore, Guard; Mr. W.. D. Jones, Sentinel. ... . . SLEEPERS GO THROUGH. It Is practically impossible ' to do much in the wuy of military training with boys under 18 years of age. It must be taken seriously, and its in clusion in the ccfurses of our public schools shouM not be considered. Even Germany does not pretend to give mijitary i raining to boys, but sets aside several years after school life for this man's worte- Then it is taken seriously, and, results in mak ing trained soldiers. The most that can be hoped for in this country is a preparatory- training for the boys, which should include characteristics of the later life work and give some idea of a live -interest in the process cf their later vocation. - "' "What sort -of TSreparatoryv. train ing can come in a boy'3 life from 10 to ir years 6f age? Any such train ing must be 'something which will line up with school - work. It should e aitinctlyv preparatory to good citizenship ,and if good citizenship involves military traning, then It ought tc be lead to that. The Proper Substtute. "I am satisfied 'that you .would not get soldiers from the ranks of col-! lege men who are put through mili-j tary training during their college j years. This I believe to be Just as' true in the case of high school boys. You might get a certain, number of aien who would go to the front at the firet call as non-commissioned offi cers, but the result .would not be the UUlJUIUg. lip UA. tllUEU T duiuici j . There must be a substitute, and, in my opinion, it is before us now. This substitute is the Boy Scout move; mnnl 1 UIO ajj w ".J ! military, but it should appeal as much to the most -ardent s militarist . as to the non-militarist. 4i is -non-military in the same sense as manual train ing is non-vocational or . non-profes-j sional, but it is preparatory to good citizenship and every-day service. It furnishes physical training to the boy and accustoms him to outdoor life and camping. It gives him a purpose that is" suited to ibis age and' appeals to his boyish,-traits. It util izes with advantage the "gang" spirit: If is 'Temarkabiy appealing, in teaching him team work and instill-1 ing in him high ideals. This, in a sense, is more ' than" military train ing ever can do, inasmuch as it de velops character,; initiative and intel ligence. y:?.spsg&f "The militarist &ould see the value of this movement. Let him look to Belgium - and other countries at war and see ogrhat service the actual ; boy ;scouts can be. These boys grow into healthier, more cour ageous, and more ' efflefenV 'citizens, and the militarist .could find a more fertile field, in these ranks of riieh fitted and willing to take up mili tary training than in a body of men who, as boys,, received premature military training and so had come to hate it,, as is invariably true where irksome drill is forced upon boys un der 15 years of age. ,. "Give me one million boy scouts grown into manhood and I will fear neither foreign domination nor inter nal social disorder.. But we ought to have more than ope' inillion to fall back upon We ought to have five million boy scouts in' this country. Supplies Loneit Need. "The greatest timeout in by any boys in ther schools ; today is 1,000 hours a year. This means that there are 4,000 waking hours left to the boy, If you allot ope-half of these waking hours ;. to meaUi iya xjtL - w ell-em-ployed idleness, you still leave 2,000 hours to the boy, .without any leader? ship or training during that time. The result is that too many, boys spend these hours ore the street play1 ing 'Cops and Robbers.' Educators throughout 'the country have been en deavoring for years to find some sub stitute for the game" . of .'Cops and Robbers,' or, seriously speaking, to bring out in the3e : hours the better qualities which will develop the boy into solid manhood, and make of him ! a good citizen. This entire move ment should receve the support of the schools throughout the: country." , There has been a persisfelf rumor around the city that: this store would open on Monday ? 1 . ,We wish to state that this report is notfounded upon facts, as it will be impossible -to open tomorrow. In the first place-we have completed only certain sections of the store and we do not want to' open until the temporary -equipment is fully placed and we are ready in every re spect to open the store for the transaction of business. Watch this space for our announcement of the in formal opening which 'will be'made in a few days, as practically all of our merchandise has arrived. The new fixtures, which are to be installed in this store have not been shipped but are in work, and before the end of Octo ber 'we expect to be able to welcome you into North Caro lina' s most modef nly equipped mercantile establishment. We wish to impress upon you the fact that when we open up in the next few days that the equipment will be . for temporary use only, but the merchandise will be as complete as a new establishment that had to purchase from beginning to end could possibly be under prevailing conditions. .
