47 High Schools Have Won Out Chapel Hill, April 6.—Forty-seven high schools have reported to E. R. Rankin, secretary of the High School Debating union, that they won both their contests in the recent series of high school debates held by more than 200 schools all over North Carolina. By virtue of winning both their con ests these schools will send their de baters to the further eliminating rounds at the University of North Carolina to decide the state champion ship, April 14 and 15. Dual contests between Goldsboro and Wilson. Green ville and Tarboro, and Monroe and Hamlet were postponed until this week and the present list of 47 winners may therefore be increased. At least 188 high school debaters, accompanied by many teachers, chape rones and friends will pour into Chap el Hill for the elimination rounds. The interscholastic track meet and tennis tournaments which will be held at the same time will swell the number of visitors to more than 300. Among the high school debaters who will come are 71 girls. Secretary Rankin is busy now arranging homes for the young ladies to stay among the members of the faculty and the citizens of Chapel Hill.'The boys will be entertained by the county clubs of university students. Nearly every one of the winning high schools had one or more girls among its debaters. The Maxton, Mor ven, Louisburg, and Columbus teams are composed entirely of girls and on the Durham, Concord, Fayetteville, Rock Ridge, Princeton and St. Paul’s teams three of the four debaters are girls. The 47 winning teams reported thus far are: Huntersville, High Point, Washington institute, Candler, Red Oak, Waynesville, Leaksville, Scot land Neck, Stonewall, Kings Moun tain, Gastonia, Mount Olive,Woodland, St. Pauls, Siler City, Grifton, Har mony, Calypso, Falling Creek, Lenoir, Churchland,Ruffin,Glade Valley, Duke, Princeton, Greensboro, Durham, Bur gaw, Jonesboro, Bladenboro Chapel Hill, Concord, Trinity, Maxton, Sum merfield, Fayetteville, Columbus,Hen derson, Seaboard, Marshville, Norlina, Clemmons, Rock Ridge, Sanford,Tabor and Morven and Ixmisburg.—News and Observer. East Carolina Diocese Meets The 38th annual council of the Epis copal diocese of East Carolina has been in session at Edenton this week with Bishop Darst presiding’. The News and Observer gives the following interesting summary of the Bishop’s address on Tuesday: In his masterful address, the Bis hop declared in many ways the year 1920 was the most remarkable and fruitful year in the history of the dio cese. It was an address worthy of the place in which it was delivered, a chancel which is not only a spiritual shrine, but also a great historical sig nificance. It was a call to arms to Episcopalians in East Carolina. Speaking of the splendid results of the nation-wide campaign the Bishop said in part: “At one time we may have looked upon the world’s needs as our opportunity. Now we have accept ed it as our responsibility. Last year we found it comparatively easy to meet our pledges, this year we are finding it hard. We gave of our abundance last year and received the praise of men. This year we will give out of our poverty and receive the praise of God. We have come to a time of testing and the future of spiritual life of the diocese depends on the way we meet this challenge. The address made specifications of negro work of the diocese and con tained recommendations for its en largement. The adress cited facts that have a grave bearing on the minis try. The number of candidates for the ministry is much less than in 1916. The Bishop made enthusiastic men tion of the organizations of the dio cese but urged the delegates not to lay too much stress on organization. Machinery is excellent he said, but it is the spirit of the Lord that must move the wheels. Gives Seventy Quarts Blood Possessing marvelous health and strength, Harry Goodheart,profession al blood donor, is registered, subject to call at any moment at four hospi tals in Brooklyn, N. Y., having given almost 70 quarts of his blood, ap proximately 10 times as much as the human body contains, in 60 transfus ions during the past two years. Mr. Goodheart has been the subject of much discussion in medical circles throughout the country. Prominent physicians have marveled at his great vitality and ability to quickly renew his blood after each operation. During the two years at his unique profes sion, Mr. Goodheart has earned close to $20,000.—Wilmington Star. A distant manner doesn’t lend en chantment to one’s view of friendship.

To Patrons of This Post Office Dear Patron:— Would you like to be a capitalist? The creation of new capital is one of the greatest needs of this state and our own community. When you save a dollar out of your income, you have, to that extent, be come a capitalit with something laid away to meet future needs. Saving can become a habit as well as spending. Honest earning, wise spending, safe investment contribute to the strength and growth of a com munity. Most people have witnessed the folly of foolish spending this last year, and some have felt keenly the failure to lay aside a little something for time of need. To provide you an easy, yet per fectly safe form of saving, the United States Treasury has issued Securities within the reach of every man, woman and child in this country. The interest-bearing Stamps and Certificates are not subject to market fluctuations and are always worth more than you pay for them. You can buy them cheaper this month than you can next month. We’re prepared to meet your needs. Ask us about it. If you are looking for safe savings without the slightest possibility of loss, this is your chance. Sincerely, SARAH A. LUNCEFORD, Postmaster. Navy Recruiting Resumed Washington, D. C.,—Recruiting for the navy has been resumed to a limit ed extent, about 500 new men, princi pally specialists, being taken every week. Recruiting was suspended when the Senate indicated during debate on the naval appropriation bill in the last session that the disposition would be to fix the strength of the navy at 120,000 men. The enlisted strength has now dropped to about 118,000.— Christian Science Monitor. Colored Supervisor Reports During the month of March, we made 23 school visits, emphasizing in dustrial work, sanitation and Health Crusaders’ work, as efficiency in class room work; thoroughness in master ing the little things in the teaching process. The Health Crusade work is operating in 32 schools and the chil dren delight in keeping the health chores and their parents are noting, with marked interest their improve ment in sanitary habits. Miss Dunn, the State Health nurse, seems pleased with the health work carried on in our schools. We have held nine com munity meetings, for school improve ments and community work general. Two schools in Boon Hill townships (Cedar Grove and Union schools) contemplate consolidation. We have spoken at seven public gatherings, stressing the health work, touching on tuberculosis, reaching nearly 2,000 persons, its cause and prevention. We held quite an interesting educational meeting on March 12th with the Coun ty teachers, school committeemen and community workers, at which time Mrs. Annie W. Holland, State Super visor of Negro schools addressed us. Mr. H. V. Rose, County Superintend ent of Public Welfare, spoke along the line of Child welfare, urging hearty cooperation of all teachers in keeping the children in school. Miss Mary E Wells, Supervisor of schools made a very impressive talk on, “The Teach er As a Community Worker.” Miss Dunn, health nurse, stressed her work, Mrs. F. C. Williams, State director of health among the colored people vis ited the county and spoke at several schools. We were accompanied by Dr. William Furlong, who is always glad to make a health talk to our people. We had planned a County Commence ment of schools, but investigation of the condition of the people reveals the fact that most of them will not be able to get their children prepared for the parade. Our next effort is, to ar range for team work between schools in the way of debate, spelling and oration. LAURA J. A. KING, Supervisor of Johnston County Negro Schools. N. C. Drainage Association Chanel Hill, April 7.—The accept ance of Mr. W. Mark Potter of New York, of the interstate commerce com mission, to address the drainage con vention-which meets at Elizabeth City Apr;l 12 and 13, was announced today by the Secretary, Joseph Hyde Pratt. Mr. Potter is the owner of a large body of reclaimed land in Beaufort county. He is using this land mainly for the growing of fine breeds of hogs and cows and he will make dairy farming and cattle raising on the re claimed land of eastern North Caro lina the subject of his talk. Only a few farmers have discovered the great possibilities in the eastern part of the State for the development of this phase of agriculture. Good pastures can be had three-fourths of the year, markets for beef and dairy products can be found in the nearby cities of Wilmington, Norfolk, Rich mond and many other smaller town. It is said that Norfolk alone imports a car load of butter daily. Where does this come from? North Carolina? No, from Wisconsin and other middle western states and yet Eastern North Carolina has almost every advantage over Wisconsin when it comes to pro ducing beef and dairy products. The North Carolina farmer can keep his cows in the pastures all the year, he only has to feed them a very few months out of the year and is much nearer the market. With the reclaim ing of the swamp lands and the pas sage of the stock law the last barrier in the way of pure bred cattle raising has been removed. Mr. Potter has recognized the great possibilities of this section and will explain his plans for turning his vast acres into a dary farm at the drainage convention in Elizabeth City on the 12 and 13 of April. This phase of the convention should appeal especially to landowners of the eastern part of the State. Kipling's Pet Robin Rudyard Kipling has a pet robin, a recent interviewer of the poet reports to the New York World. The fortu nate interviewer was admitted to Mr. Kipling’s garden and was much inte rested in watching him call to Jimmy, his pet robin, in a treetop. The bird flew down end lighted on Mr. Kipling’s shoulder, where it perched roguishly throughout the talk. The old saw, “Put up or shut up,” applies also to police protection. State College Summer Courses. The Summer Session of the North Carolina State College of Agricul ture and Engineering will open June 14 and continue through July 27, ac cording to the preliminary announce ment recently issued by the director, Dr. W. A. Withers. The summer courses given by the College fall into the following groups. Those that make up the State Sum mer School are for superintendents and supervisors, high school gradu ates who expect to be teachers, and holders of Provisional A and higher certificates. The County Summer School, for Wake and certain other counties, is for teachers who are net graduates of high schools or who do not hold certificates of the grades mentioned above. The other groups are college entrance courses, college credit courses, cultural, professional, and vocational courses, the demon stration school, and rehabilitation courses. During the 1920 session 671 stu dents were registered, eight states apd eighty-six counties of North Car olina being represented. Dr. Withers stales that the number already ad mitted for the coming session exceeds the registration, for the correspond ing period, of any year in the history of the school. For full information about the Summer Session address: Dr. Wr. A. Withers, State College Station, Ral eigh, N. C. Game Hen Puts Hawk to Death Carthage, April 2.—After a fight lasting but a few minutes and wit nessed by members of the family of R. L. Tyson, a farmer residing about a mile from Carthage, a Rhode Is land Red hen killed a blue darter chicken hawk Friday morning. The hawk had previously carried away five little chickens, and when he re turned for the sixth the hen was ready and gave battle. The hawk, which measured 31 inches from tip to tip, and was fully grown and de veloped, put up a game fight, but was killed by the hen after a few mo ments.—News and Observer. Watch your label!
