WOMAN CLUB MEETING. ' The Woman's dab will hold thsir text tneasJng Thursday afternoon Nov. tth at the hotne of Mr.-C3areee -J&Sev-em Haywoo atxset A3 members are urged to EQUIPMENT SOLDIERS ARE EN TITLED TO KEEP. October 24, 1919. Editor of Mountaineer-Courier. I am advised by the War Depart ment that every enlisted man of the army was entitled to retain perma nently, upon his discharge, the follow ing articles: One olive drab shirt, onto pair breeches, one pair leggins, one waist belt, one slicker, one overcoat, four pairs stockings, one pair shoes, one gas mask and helmet (if issued over seas.) . If the above articles of clothing and equipment were not received when discharged they may now be secured by certifying to that fact. I will be glad to assist any soldiers who have not received these articles, or any of them, and will take pleasure in for warding necessary blanks upon which to make application. Of course, every soldier is legally entitled to these articles and I will very much appreciate it if, through the medium of your paper, you can assist in bringing this matter to the attention of the soldiers who may be interested. Sincerely yours, ZEBULON WEAVER. RED CROSS ROLL CALL DRIVE. Next Sunday, Nov. 2, and continu ing through the eleventh is the time set apart by the National Committee of the Red Cross to collect the gen eral membership fee of one dollar from each member.Many of us are prone to think of the Red Cross as purely an organization for relief dur ing the time of war, but its policy is to aid suffering humanity at all times. Half of every dollar paid in will be kept in the local chapter to be used from' time to time as needy and de serving cases of suffering are brought to the attention of the chapter. . The other half will be sent to headquar ten to be used in the world wide re lief of the organisation. When one considers the opportunities and how far reaching the good to be accom plished by this gift of ONE DOLLAR, thereby becoming a member of the Red Cross, it should be deemed a privilege to join. It is to be hoped that not one war time member turn aside this opportunity and that others who have during the past three years learned to appreciate the work of this organization, will gladly pay this small fee. ' This drive will be under the capa ble management of Mr. Glenn Miller, chairman, and Miss Alice Quinlan, vice chairman. THE PERSHING LITERARY SO CIETY.

(By Jesse Daniel Boone) The man who deean't plan and dream, The man who doesn't have a scheme, Must haVe but little self-esteem, And nueini mueh in life. We need hwaghntion's spur To make things happen and occur Amid the many things which blur In this oW world of strife. The wrkfg Great Architect above, Though mfld and gentle as a dove, Se planned this universe, in love, That we might dwell in peace ; But Satan also had his plan For thwarting God1, and also man, And taught men "can't" instead of "can," To make our efforts cease. I CAN has made the deserts bloom ; I CAN makes towns and cities boom ; While CANT is full of dobt and gloom, And never does a thing. I CAN will guarantee success, And never fails to crown and bless, In times of plenty, or distress ; It makes you smile and sing. I CANT was never known to score, But makes men weary, worn and sore, And like Poe's Raven's: "nevermore," Leaves little hope or joy. I CANT is but a silent lip, A stolen rudder from a ship It isn't worth a thought or flip To any girl or boy. So foster all your dazzling dreams And nurture, all your rosy schemes Until your planning fairly teems With friends, and wealth and place. Make many plans for each new day For work, for rest, or else for play, So at the finish you may say: fve fought and won the race.

The North Carolina Historical Com mission is canvassing the entire State for letters, diaries, pictures, newspa per clippings, in fact, all material of any nature that threw light en North Carolina in the World War. X, & House, collector of War Records for the Historical Commission, la con ducting this canvass by going to the sources of such official records as Red Cross Chapter Histories, local Board reports, eta- by organlalng volunteer committees to assist him in the various counties, sad by going himself from community to csamuni ty all over the State. These materials csnvaemed for, val uable as they- are, will parish very rapidly unless they are stored; where fire, rata, and other destroying agen cies cannot get at them. Practically the only safe depository for such things is the fireproof HsU of His tory in Raleigh, built to preserve just such things as these.. Realising the Necessity of pros err big these valuable records, the last General Assembly appropriated mon- - it . 1 it ey lor tne wore, ana amciea in Historical Commission not only to collect aU date possible about North Carolina im the World War, but to prepare a complete history of the State's life in that great event. By this set the General Afceexably placed North Carolina among the saost pro gressive States In the Uafcnfc for North Carolina was one of the first States to inangsrats a work that all the ether States are new taking cp. The General Assembly realised that history is initial to a isisw wealth, and therefore plessl this wort ea a stable foeadetiesv The) OensraJ 5! Assemhly but expressed the will of the State, and, since this will is so wisely recorded in the establishment of .this work of collecting war records, it is the presumtion of the Historical Commission that the people of the State are going to give the materials essential to history. The fine success already attained by the public spirit of individual do nom of material shows that North Carolinians want -their State - fully represented in history. Almost every person in the State has a letter, a picture, or something that would be of value. Whatever he has, he should communicate informa tion about it, or send it to R. B. House, Collector of War Records, North Carolina Historical Commission, Ral eigh, N. C. HOSPITAL BENEFIT SUCCESS . The benefit entertainment at the Victory Theatre last week was a suc cess. The picture was a good one and a neat sum was realised for furnace repairs. The singing of Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Haviland was highly enjoyed and the recitation of Miss Mildred Crawford was fine and original. ' U. D. C MEETING.

Asheville Citizen. , A. C. Walker, one of Haywood county's progressive farmers and stock-raisers, was a visitor to Ashe ville Saturday to see the big circus, and while here took occasion to call on the board of trade and tell some thing about his success in sheep-rais ing the past year. Mr. Walker has been engaged in sheep-raising for sev eral years snd his success has had much to do with getting others in the western part of the state during the last few years to engage in the in dustry. Mr. Walker said that he is raising and handling nothing but the pure- oreu , registered Hampshire type of sheep, and the past year he has raised twenty lambs, kept eight of them and sold the other 12 for an average of $50 apiece; that he has sold 48 head of ewes from four to six years old at' an average of $35 a head, and that he has sold wool amounting to over $80. He states that this entire section of western North Carolina is especially adapted to sheep-raising, and that farmers can make money on small flocks on every farm if they will just give them proper attention. Mr. Walker attended the sheep sale at Lexington, Ky., in August and bought a purebred Hampshire buck for $106. He also stated the new dog law passed by the last legislature is a good law and should be enforced. HAYWOOD FIRST, MADISON FIFTH, JACKSON SEVENTH. Mountaineer-Courier: I feel as if there should be some correction in regard to the Atlanta fair premiums, so please publish the following: A there appears to be some care less reporting done in regard to the Atlanta fair premiums obtained by Western N. C. exhibitors, perhaps a little correction would not be out of place. In oompeting for county prem iums Haywood received first, Madison fifth, Jackson seventh. There were twelve counties represented and only ten premiums offered. For individual premiums, D. Reeves Noland re ceived first, E. J. Howell second. There were eleven exhibits and ten premiums offered so you see that some one was left out. The one that stands near the head of the list can safely feel that he is in fast company and to secure a premium he must ba be there with the goods. . , AN EXHIBITOR. THE HAUNTED GATE.
