IS HTtlUTEO Commissioners Sy Peo ple are Oppose.! to More Money For Cinui: dubs The Commissioners of Pasquotank county at their meeting yesterday appropriated 100 to Canning Club work in Pasquotank County. This is the same amount that was appropriated for this, fhe first year's work of the clubs, and an appropriation of five hundred dol lars bad been asked tor by those interested in the work. At the October meeting the Com mis siooners agreed Jo arrange for a campaign throughout the county in which the ralue of canning fclup work should be presented to the people or the county and an oppor tunity given the people to express themselves in re;;nrn to the move, menl. Nothing was done how ever, and the Commissioners linen up yesterday agmm'T the mcioase in appropriation with the plea thai they were representing the people and that the people of the county did not favor the project. Mrs Cam W Melieiv who is known as "the sod mother of the canning lub of the county" made a strong pfea in behalf of the appropriation and urged that Pasquotank county should not be lelt oemnd the pro gressive counties of the state. MTs Melick stated that she has traveted all over the State and has observed conditions in various sections of the state. That Pasquotank coun ty, with advantages or educa tion and productiveness surpassing that of many counties, should lag behind In amovemefft of community and financial progress is, she de clared, a fact that cannot be al lowed to stand. Efforts will con tinue for the extension of CannTng club work in the county and the commissioners will be approached at ttaetr next meeting and again ask d for a larger appropriation . Congressman John H . 8mall. who more than once before expressed nls interest in and desire for the extension of tne work In Pasquo tank County wrote a letter to the Comra'ssloners to be presenfWT at yesterday's meeting, in whlcn he again urged the support of the movement.

WHAT RED CROSS SEALS HAVE DONE The most important thin that Red Cross seals have done in the past year" said Or. U B. McBrayer. Executive Secretary or the State Red Cross Seal C0mmission "is to pay in part or in iull the salary or twenty-two whole time visiting nurses. It is impossible,' said he, "to calcu late the amount of good done by these nurses in alleviating the suf fering cf those wno have betin un able to employ a nurse and to pro vide for themselves the (,rdinary ne cessities of life. This nursing, how ever h:is not been confined to those sufferm- with tuberculosis altogetn ' T. I in w herever suffering was found uiicared lor. there was this ""el of ireny with her tender, help l ;l minis: rations. Like the lowly N';s.ai eno, they teach as they go tsw !i people how to keep tr()in get ti!i;; sik, how to keep from spread ing disease to otners in their fam'ly it rid dsewhere. in this way every person In North Carolina becomes t.e: tor to these v. siting nurses. "The lied Cross seals have sent, patients to the htaie Sanatorium; where they were restored t() health and returned home to care tor tnem seives and their families, becoming thus an economic asset to the State instead of a total ioss with added ex pense The Red Cross seals have also been the means of carrying lec tuns and exhibits to people wffb vvi.uld ii,,' otherwise have Bad this privilege, and of carrying lood to tu bercular patients who have uo money to Biend for food. "These are only a few examples ' ,onl nued Dr. 1.. B. McBrayer. "of what Ked Cross seals have done in r.ur State. We feel that they are going to do far more along this line of work next year. They will soon be put on sale and should be offered for sale at every cross r(ad and village, at every postoffice and every school in the State.' Dr. 1.. B. McBrayer whose ad dress is Sanatorium, N.

A WEW SLOUAN ' lie examined" is a new and pop ular health suggestion adopted espe cially for Tuberculosis week fhia year. December 8th has been set apart as the particular day which Phys cians and people siiuld give to tli.s mipoi'tiint Health principle. '! h" plan ado; ted for ohservms this national mouical exam nation nay i.- a practical one. it dois not suppose that a largo numiiur of peo ple, iiot all who wuulo, could he ;i,oi. ii ; lil examined in one day, " ul i, (lit. .mi, pose that puiil.c m feresi can be so aroused as to set people to th liking seriously about the matter aud fiinlly to arrange for a medical examination at the convenience of their physician and themselves.. It has been suggested that insti tutions, schools communities and factories observe this day by hold ing mass meetings or with special exercises in order that the full pur pose and importance of the move ment may be made known to their people. Another suggestion is that special arrangements be made beforehand with physicians to malre examinations on this day, free or charge for those unable to pay. In Mlch'gan recently, at the request ot the Governor nearly 600 physicians participated in Tuberculosis Day, making a large number of examina tions or tuberculrsis patients free of charge. This physical inventory is advo cated by modern health workers as being as necessary to the bnfltness of wrdin"- off d'sease and keeping well as is taking stock ,n any otner line or bus'ness. That Insidious j disease can be detected in the ap proac and can be warded off is not a new and impractical thedry. it Is now regarded as the most efficient and at the same time the most in telligent means of fighting disease and prolonging life.

Hampton IS Elizabeth city, were shocked at tbt news or bis deatn which occurred at his home at Watertllly on DUt Saturday night. The funeral tar vices were neld on Monday ana were conducted jy Kev. J. A. WU loughby of Maple. Mr. Hampton was about forty eight years old and unlit recant years when be touna himself to b a victim of Bright s disease had been in perfect neSlth. 'or per haps as much as two weeks he bad been seriously sick but friends la the city in the early part of last week reported that be was imprcY in; and the news ot nis death wa a surprise here and a shock to all of , Currituck county. Mr. Hampton was one or Currt uck's most prominent and Jntluen t-ial citizens. He'.rlnnintr lifn on m. ouiu man wiih littlo or no proper v. i'e had amassed considerable a ca 1th and a i blendid reputation ai i bus'ness man m rJllzabeth City, No less high was the regard la wh'ch he was held as a citizen, at a friend. or ns a christian by all who luiew him. tre was. an active and enthusiastic member of (be Baptist Church at Waterllliy and also belonged to one or more secret orders, and no movement tor pro ureas and uplift or bis commaimy, section or county was without hie support. Mr. Hampton was twice married and is survived by a wife and nine children. The eldest. Mr. Arthur Hampton, was at one time connec ted with the J. H. 1-eKoy CdThpanY of Elizabeth City.

THE RICHEST LaND in THE WORLD The most valuable land In fne world is in tbe Sahara Desert. It Is made valuable by" tbe date tree that cover every spot wheTe enough water can be bad to make them grow. This great lantr vafffe comes because man has there utilized tbe productive power of the tree, na ture's greatest engine of production. I is really remarkable that we In the United States have used treee so little to do our work for us. An orchard of black walnut, or shagbark hickories, or native hazeU, or Ohio. Valley pecans, with trees a good as the beet wild ones now grow lng would be very, very valuable. Why don't we have them? Merely because we haven't noticed and haven't thought, it is high time we caught up with the people oi the desert. We happen to have a million good Baldwin apple trees, and another mil Hon good navel orange trees, be 'a use somebody took pains to tell about the original good wfld tree that started that million. By bud ding and grafting, tftat one Baldwin apple tree ha hecoTTIe the parent Of many millions. We now know how to propagate all the nut trees, and can turn one good shagbark or black wplnut or pecan or hazel into mil lions Cut where are the suitable .pun m trees frmii which to grart and bud' i A.
