RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas our All-Father has sent the death angel into our midst and has ' removed from us our beloved brother and faithful fellow-worker, W. ; T. Blaylock; and Whereas our Red Cross Chapter has lost one of its wisest counselors and most untiring workers, one who always gave himself without stint in caring for its finance and in promoting all ts activities; he it therefore resolved First, that we feel deeply the loss sustained and are saddened that we shall not see him among us again, but nevertheless we humbly bow to the will of the omniscient Father who sees through the eternities; Second, that we extend our love and heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved family and commend them to our ever merciful Heavenly Father; Third that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the stricken family, one to the Carolina Mountaineer for publica tion, and that a copy be spread on the Minutes of our Chapter.

To those who advocate the Scien ces in school and college curricula the September 1917 Bulletin of the State Normal College will be of special in terest Moreover, this Bulletin is one that should appeal to all those who are anxious to cooperate with the Fed' oral authorities along the lines of preventable diseases as well as pre ventable' waste in the house hold. It is indeed "A Primer of Household Biology," an elementary study in the science of life,, particularly in its re- laton to the household. ' Dr. E. W. Gudger, Ph. D. of Johns Hopkins, is the author of the Bulle tin, and as he says in the preface, "It i8 the outcome of twelve years' teaching Household Biology to fresh men' students at the State Normal College of North Carolina. Beginning as a course strictly in preparation for Domestic Science, it has while never getting away from the purpose, widen ed its scope to include some of the fundamentals of hygiene and sanita tion and of the maintenance of soil fertility." Dr. Gudger, in a way of his own, has written a book, giving laboratory exercises, suggestions of the gather ing of necessary material, other helpful aids, and at the same time uses language that a high school student or a housewife who has not had the opportunity for such studies in her school days, but who has an .ambition for efficiency to' be the motto, of her home can understand. There are certain scientific terms, however,, one would have to learn as he enters the new field, but in the Pri mer he finds the defined in an under standable way. Quoting from the author we have the purpose of the work: "In this little book it is the purpose of the author to do two things for the students who use it; to give them a, sound scien tific conception of some of the great fundamental principles of Biology, and to drive home to them such a practical knowledge of certain most important living things as will enable them to live healthier and happier lives." ' North Carolina should be proud to claim the author of this book as one of her own .sons, as well as a pro fessor in one of her colleges. As the Sciences have readily been gain ing their rightful place in college and high school curricula there has been felt a great need for a text-book such as the Primer, and .again one finds North Carolina coming to the front with the man and the much needed book. TO LOCATE HOSPITAL ' The government is looking for a suitable location in this section for a tuberculosis hospital for soldiers and the White Sulphur Springs Hotel is under consideration. Sunday's Ashe ville Times says: WHite Sulphur Springs Hotel, just outside the city limits of Waynesville has been offered by Mr. Sloan of Wayneville to the war department for a temporary hospital and Major Bruns will inspect tht property and other sites.".' - ,The government has decided against the West over Hotel at Asheville as unsuitable. Whatever place is decided upon is only for temporary use. The government has begun the erection of a tuberculosis sanitarium at Azalea, some six miles from Asheville to ac commodate 1000 patients. Judge Geo. McCracken is on the sick list this week. He has been in failing health for a long time and this, coupl ed with his advancing age, is causing many friends some uneasiness. Judge McCracken Is one of the olddest citi zens of the county and in his time has been honored with county office. For many years he was one of the leading men of .the county. Bryson City Times.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS War Savings Stamps. War Savings Stamps, Will not be bought by bums or tramps; For they have not the will nor price, And they have scorn for good advice. Who then will buy, Who then, will buy ? All those who hear their country's cry, All those who realize the need, Who would not have our soldiers bleed. The Patriot band, the Patriot band, Will back this move with heart and hand; They'll dig up coins from many socks So Kaiser Bill won't "fix our clocks." Now think it o'er, now think it o'er, I beg of you, I do implore; For if we don't finance this game, We'll surely hang our heads in shame. You buy post stamps, you buy post stomps, In all the cities, towns and camps; You waste your nickles day by day In every sort of foolish way. Quit spending so, quit spending so, And keep expenses very low; So when the end of war shall come You won't be feeling cross and glum, Why not thrift stamps? why not thrift stamps? You scalawag, you little scamps! When buying these you do no spend, Bat to a noble cause you lend. Buy all you can, buy all you can, For each young Miss and little man; And start them in the wjvr of thrift Ahd save them from the deadly drift- "Over the Top With the Bat of Luck and Give ThemHelir OVER THE TOP Sertf't Arthur Guy Empey Sergt Empey's vivid and grip ping story of the great war will be printed in installments in this paper.

The delcamatory contest at the High School auditorium last Friday night to select a boy and a girl from this school to represent us at the final contest in Weaverville tomorrow night proved that oar school has decided talent in that department and reflected much credit as well upon Miss Hilda Way who trained them. By no means however was there unanimity of opin ion in the large audience as to who were entitled to first honors. The fact is that among the boys at least the decision would not have been amiss, if the winner had been selected by lot. Even the boy who forgot was doing just as well as the rest, when he momentarily stuttered and then gave up. The girl contestants were Sara Thomas, Bessie Francis, Mildred Crawford, Kittie Alley and Nora Seaver. The first on the list was an. nounced as the winner. Miss Thomas' selection was a graphic recital of the story of a horse, race and she put into her rendition much feeling and des- . criptive ability. Miss Francis un fortunately forgot when about half way through. Miss Crawford imper sonated a child most - excellently. Her's was the only humorous selec tion of the evening and was highly entertaining. Miss Alley, apparently the youngest on the list and Miss Sea ver both did well In fact considering the youth of the participants, we con. sider the contest one of unusual mer it - . If a general criticism could be of fered, particularly in case of the boys it was that of speaking in too high a key with not sufficient modulation of the voice. The last speaker was, particularly eloquent, his facial ex pression good and he was wholly at ease but the voice was pitched m a high key without relieving it by oc casionally dropping? down into the lower reaches of the scale.. The boys' contest was strictly oratorical and very creditable. The f Jrst speaker, Frank Hardin, was awarded first place. The others were Joe Liner, Howard Leatherwood, Paul Martin, Bryan Walpole and Hayes Alley. Judges in girls contest were Tobias Larson, Miss Lena Alstetter, T. U Green; for the boys, Attorneys Ward and Morgan and Rev. W. B. West. Singing by a number of young ladies with orchestra accompaniment was a feature of the evening as were also yells by members of the two literary societies who were grouped in opposite parts of the auditorium. The winners left today for Weaver ville, chaperoiisd by Miss Frances Robeson, where they will participate In an elimination contest tonight when eight will be selected to appear in the final contest tomorrow night ROCK HILL Every one is glad to see these pretty warm days. It is beginning to look as if spring had appeared and with it comes the season of work. For various reasons the negro min strel at this place will be postponed from February the 23 to March the 2nd, hope then to have a large crowd and think everyone will be glad he came. We are sorry to have to relate the Aa ndsweotefeehdht comes, .nt sad news of the death of Mrs. C. M. Moody. She had been sick for some time and passed quietly away on the morning of the 19th.
