THE JUNIOR RED CR0SSRALLY Children From Ten Counties in Western North Caro lina to Meet at Asheville April 30. FRANKLIN BUILD P 'R0CLAMATI0N i COLDS ARE VERY; BY GOVERNOR! DANGEROUS Here is the first published standing of the f'ivc wire" C'ub Members after the "close of thP first period of The Press Salesmanship Club Wed nesday night, April 15. Did they "go over the top?" We'll say so. Com pare their relative standing of today with the published standings April 10, and you will say so. Excitement and intense activity prevails among the Club Members in the' Salesmanship Club campagin as each c,lub member, realizes that she "is in reach of a pri;:e worth as much as .$650.fl) and to bP won or lost dur ing, the next few-weeks, depending almost entirely upon the number , of subscriptions turned in wlile thP BIG "Second Perod" is on, and which ex pires at 9 o'clock Friday night, April 24. , Club Members arc now going after . every subscription, and extention on subscriptions that they have secured earlier in the campaign, in sight; they realise that they must fortify their present standing w'ith tvery available subscription and extension as, at the present writing it is "any body's race." So close are the heacU liners running that any one of them can win a motor car in' the short time that remains. ThP First Period of the salesman ship club, which closed Wednesday night, was a great success. Tens of thousands yes, hundreds of thous andsof credits were issued and every "LIVE" club member profited mightily. v ; It is a strange coincidence, too and something very unusual in af fairs of this kind, but a number of these club members who were striv ing for thP capital prize auto bene fited so equally during the perion lust closed that not without Hair line figuring could today's leader be de termined. The campaign, therefore, so far as the relative standing of the club members are concerned, depends al most entirely upon thP results at taind by the different club members between now and the finish of the campaign as to whom thP winner will be. The above is not "mere talk" for the sake of telling it. but it is a real fact theories and' ridiculous, silly rumors notwithstanding. Hence the struggle for supremacy-will be fought out during the next few weeks because thP campaign comes to a close in less than threj Weeks from this date. , During the second credit period ending Friday night, April 24, at 9 o'clock sharp, subscriptions will count BIG and there is a BIG lot of them o be obtained if you make the effort to secure them, in fact, they count almost as many credits now as they did in the First Period. For example a six-year subscription turned in dur ing the Second Period counts 330,000 credits where formerly 420,000 credits were given. Then, too. EXTEN SIONS COUNT BIG.

Knowing that he was unacquainted with the danger threatening them all, . his. fellow workers explained in de- it.iit "Mnt Hn tint mrr ! they added. "The snake always , warns you of his coming by rattling nis tan, at. noon time the laborer vy-'is sitting on a log eating his lunch listening to nothing, and . hearing - nothing.' Suddenly glancing .down- ! ward ho looked straight into the f1'1', -i;cni.nK .of a ,sna- Lunch liu! laborer (lew .into the air, and as the. man ran. he. yelled, "Why you nrr ringa da l.el! " j Cold .are warnings. Heed them. 1 They iv'r, ..ie.at. that you are "run- mmi. ; vui arc not resting nu arc not enriigii: you Me ;lrai(l ot getting too much fresh air; or thatyou are mak ing a hot-house plant of your skin.. They also warn of the future for, if neglected, cold may "stir up" some encimy which is sleeping within you. It is as though a robber (a germ of tuberculosis for instance) should have made his way into a house (the body) and, finding the inhabitant too alert, carefully hid himself until the owner should go to bed. While wait ing he fell asleep. Another thief, (common cold) meanwhile, climbed in and stumbled over the first one. Being aroused the erstwhile sleeping thief started to shoot. The owner of the housp wakened to find his home a wreck. Colds do not "run j.nto" pneumonia or tuberculosis, kidney disease, heart trouble or rheumatism but they may lower the body's resistance to these other troubles and "add fuel to fires." Therefore, while a cold may be a very simple thing, it sometimes does tremendous harm. You can not know what germ is hiding in your system waiting for its chance to grow and spread, so do not give it the oppor tunity by neglecting a common cold. Obviously the best thing is to avoid catching a cold by observing the rules of preventing the spread of excretions, etc. I would add this to the advice already given: Give your skin a chance to help you to keep well. Your skin was made so that it could protect you. Help this pro cess along -with cold water. Take a cold spongp bath daily. Then don't coddle your skin by burying it under layers of thick banncl and wools. Don't be afraid of fresh air. Learn how to expose " yourself properly to it. If vou should catch cold DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! Don't neglect it. In other words when you are in the rattlesnake country keep your ears open I Cramerton News . Mr! Bill Teague is very ill at this writing.
