cently given at the Armington hotel
to boost this fund, for the purpose of
distributing' this apportionment by

chairman of Cherryrille township
readily volunteered $750 for his
township. Cherryville is recognized
to be a prosperous town and one
which could raise the amount
charged, to her for this cause with
out any' trouble. Why the people of
that section of the county should
thus Ignore this Important call of
" their country is not understood.

DALLAS, Nov.. 20.: Through
the ' work of Prof. J. B. Hens
S. A. Wllkins and Messrs,
I Lohr, J. . W. Summey . and
Rhyne, the young Men's Christain
Association fund has finally- risen
to above $450. There is yet a sum
of fifty dollars, to be raised. The
committee hopes that the people of
Dallas will raise this amount-
The teachers of the Dallas schools
have opened moonlight school in
Dallas for the benefit of the illiter
ates of this town. Vp to the present
time about- twelve have enrolled.
Two years ago a similar School was
carried on with great success and it
is hoped by the teachers that this
may be equally so. - This is a great
work. North Carolina needs It to
bring it down lower in the numbers
of llleterates.
Since the opening of school the
Farm life Schoo" has taken on some
growth. At first (Mngs looked a
little disappointing o. account of
the scarcity of pupils, but since
then many new ones have arrived
At the present time, besides those
from the local rural routes, pupils
attend here from Landers "Chapel,
Gastonia routes, Stanley, New Hope
and from near the South Carolina
line. Yet there Is still room for
more.
MJsb Nell Pickens, the new county
demonstration agent, was a visitor
at the Farm Life School last week
ins pupus ana teacners are very
giaa to nave sucn visitors with them.
Of the car load of pure bred cat
tle unloaded In Gastonia, Monday,
November 19th, some were bought
by the people of this community.
There is a great need of such stock
in this section and It Is truly another
round up the ladder of farm progress
for the people to buy them.
The photoplay, "The Knights of
the Square Table," will probably be
produced before the people of Dal
las Thursday night, November 22 In
the new Ideal Theatre. It may be
possible, though, that the dates are
all billed and the local Scouts may
be unable to get the picture for
that date. The picture will be
shown sometime in the future at any
rate.
The Sunday schools of Dallas rep
resenting four religious, participated
greatly in the raising of the Y. M.
C. A., fund here. The collection
of last Sunday from each church
was given to that fund. The Presby
terian gave $38; the Methodist $8;
the Lutheran $9.40; the Baptist $21,
the total amount was $76.40.
In the recent Luther League con

GALLS FORMORE TROOPS
LLOYD 6ECR6E SAYS ALLIES fEEDTHEH
At First Session of Anglo-American
War Council in London England's
. Premier Calls on United States to
Get More Troops Across as Soon
as 'Possible Allies Looking to
Us for Food Supplies and Aircraft
Also.
LONDON. Nnv. 20 Pramlnr
Lloyd-George told the Anglo-Ameri
can war council, in session for the
first time, that the collapse ot Rus
sia and the reverses' to Italy, "made
It even more imperative than before
that the United States send as many
troops as possible across the Atlantic
as early as possible. -
"I am anxious to know how soon
the first million men can be expected
in France."
The premier explained that British
shipping now was wholly employed
in war work, partly' for the allies,
partly on the Britain account, add
!ng: "Assuming that the submarine
situation gets no worse, the easing
of tne positions to the allies depends
entirely upon the dates on which tne
American program for the launch
ing of the six million tons of shipping
promised for 1918 comes into prac
tical effect. I have no doubt that
with the largest Industrial resources
of the world a' most highly trained
and adaptable Industrial population
and an exceptional national gift of
organization the accomplishment of
America in the matter of shipbuild
ing will astonish, everybody."
Dealing with the airplane situa
tion, the premier said:
command of tne air in the battle
line Is almost essential as command
of the sea. The people of the United
States possess to an unusual degree
qualities of enterprise and daring
necessary to the creation of success
ful airmen. The American climate
also lends itself to the development
of the air service, ' because it is
clearer and more equable than the
climate of the'British Isles. This is
of special value because the training
of pilots, the creation of flying units
and the building of air-domes are
as essential to the creation of an air
service as the building of airplanes
themselves." .
Referring to food the premier said
that the allies were becoming In
creasingly dependent upon what the
North American continent could pro
duce and he declared that the
most drastic restrictions were about
to be imposed upon the people of
the British Isles, partly In order to
assist the allies, partly in order to
leave more room for the carriage of j
men and munitions to the battle
fronts. The premier said he regard
ed the tightening of the blockade
as of next Importance.
XJlose co-operation between the
United States and the powers of
western Europe can bring still great
er economic pressure to bear on the
central powers during the war," he
said.
BANKHEAD MEETING
FRIDAY NIGHT

1 effort to give Gaston county
fa place on the National Bankhead
Highway Commission a special meet-
,n& of the Gaston county unit of the
"uuub win u ueiu ai me couri-
President R. K. Davenport, of the
county association, issued the call
this morning. No personal notices
will be sent out and every one in the
.county who signed the lists for mem
bership and paid his dollar is expect
ed to be present. -
Because of the excellent showing
made by the county unit Secretary
Fred M. Allen brought to the atten
tion of headquarters In Birmingham
the fact that when a yacancy occur
red from North Carolina Gaston
county should be recognized. The
matter was favorably considered at
headquarters and as there Is under
stood tr be a vacancy now on tne
board of directors from North Care
Una it was asked that the local unit
hold a meeting and submit a recom
mendation. While the annual meet
ing will not be held until next June
It is possible that the national com
mission will make an ad interim ap
pointment and If such Is the case it
is believed that the recommendation
of the Gaston unit will be accepted
In filling' the vacancy.
The meeting Is of importance to
Gaston and a large attendancp Is
urged. - It Is not expected that the
meeting will last over a half hour or
an hour.
