Pcu went to Camps Se xier asd Jackson last week to urge ; North Carolina soldiers not to delay another day protection'afforded In the United States war insurance. ' Governor Bickett, a week ago, sent .the - soldiers a. message urging them to avtdL themselves of this great op portunity and Mr. Pou has prepared a.brif Which he will present. General Faisoa has written the department jxire that less than 50 per cent of the "rays have ithis insiiranc and February 3? is the Jast'dap that the government , will issnerthls' protection, without spe cific instruction from the jsoldiers. The government now places -$5,000 on ev ery man, half the amount allowed if me seeks it voluntarily. After Feb ruary 12 the Insured must make' his wn application: , . J ? Governor Bickett begs- the boys to take it even if they can't pay for it. Their: relatives .and friends at home "trill do so be says, and he Is morally certain that .no man in a camp would fail of such Support if he sought it. 3nt luearly aH of them can afford it. fThe soldiers drawgood pay; the gov ernment : allots liberally to the fami lies and the premiums would be paid .from monthly deduction in the wage. l: Blind .School Will Continue. The Blirf.d Institute, in -Raleigh, will coit&uc; and North .Carolina will find -some vtray to provide -funde -for an in stitution x "which could not. appeal to the legislative heart last year. r The -directors at the last meting in Ylta!igh seriously considered closing he school March i. They were run - sing, behind and, the State Council r.o money. There was no way to t?ei; it ptnee the appropriation was soon r,ta be eihtpisted. iJovr the State Coun ,;cJI has bridged "this difficulty is not ftc-ared, but somebody doubtless is jarsonally responsible for the debts -jthfti ainst come. Tl9: increased cost of supplies i3 jTc'ely responsible. There has been no , iaprcase in teachers' salaries or ad--'rinisrracive expenses. Previous to . ihe 4917 Legislature the income of the 'institution was 573,100 of which "Tag Your Shovel Day" will be ob served in the public schools of the city J Wednesday In accordance with order of State Fuel Administrator A. W. Mc Allister, of Greensboro. The pupils Li all the grades will be organized and requested to see to it that every shovel in every household is tagged Tag3 are in the hands of Superinten dent John J. Blair and will be dis tributed in the class rooms "Wednes day morning. Professor Catlett, superintendent of the county, schools, stated that there would be no necessity for organiza tion in the county schools "or, as he expressed it, he would not require the country children to "tag a hickory knot" Over, a hundred thousand tags have been sent out from the fuel admin istration office to the school superin tendent throughout the State, and the purpose of "Tag-Your-Shovel Day" is to get a. tag tied to every coal shovel so that the people will have before them an everyday reminder of the vi tal necessity of saving every shovel ful of coal that can be saved. The imperative need for such anendeavor as this-lies in -the fact that in spite o ftbe utmost effort there is still a shortage - of 50.000,000 tons of coal which must be miade up in every way possible. - - The National Fuel- Administration estimates that over 20,000,000 school children throughout the country will take, part in the ','Tag-Your-Shovel" campaign. As Mr. McAllister said: "The government is placing a trust in the hands of the school-girls. It is relying upon them, as an arm of the service to become little missionaries of thrift to carry, to their own homes the message, 'Save Coal,', and to be the consecrators of the family coal shovel to the world-wide cause of hu amount $72,500 was appropriated. The school asked last year for $85, 000 to meet the growing demands and the appropriations committee could not see more than the $72,500. Debts are piling up and the cost of supplies soars. " There is a $12,000. debt now, the Council of State hears, and it is esti mated that this amount will run to $27,740.97 before the year is over. Had the General Assembly appropriated the $85,000 asked, the amount of in debtedness would be only $1,500 for the whole year. But there was a de ficit December 1, 1917, of $3,033.16 and unpaid bills for November amounted to $10,229.18. For the months of Jan uary, February, March, April and May the amount needed will be $50,000. June July, August and September will necessitate $14,308.63 and until ! there is another item of $20,000 which must be cared for. That makes a gross amount of $106,440.87 and the gross income with balance on hand is J78, 700, making a deficit of $27,740.97, the estimate made on what supplies now bring. t ;4, ADY OF VANDYKE SO WEAK ROM STOMACH TROUBLE SHE COULD HARDLY WALK SHE SAID .A Terrible Attacks of Cramps Made Her Fear She Would Diet Took Simple Home Treatment -Hasn't Had .X: Cramp Since; TELLS HOW SHE DID IT I v "T. suffered from stomach trouble ! for a year.

Yates Company store Tues day and created a profound impres sion upon those who lovo music particularly those who understand it. Heifetz has been referred to by the leading music critics of the country as a genius, a word that is not used in these days when super-talent is Hhe rift of many. Heifetz began play ing the violin at the age of three years and lour years later was grad uated from the Royal School of Musc at Vilna, astonishing Petrograd when but nine years old with his wonderful playing ability. His mastery of the bow and control of the fingers is said to be wonderful and this-coupled with his phenomenal technique, according to critics, has placed him in a class absoultely by himself.
