C, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1915 V OL. LXII NO. 3T PREPAREDNESS .'i Mr. Kifchen Thinks Presi dent's Program Will Pass Congress MAKES PUBLIC LETTER HE HAS WRITTEN COON Washington, Nov. 15. Representa tive Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, majority leader of the house, expects President Wilson's national defense program to pass Congress by an over whelming majority. Although opposed to preparedness, Kitchin has informed a constituent of the expected adminis tration victory. J ' ' In a letter to Chas. L. Coon, of Wil son, expressing approval of Coon's in- dorsement said: of position, Kitchin "I shall oppose the big army and navy program. with all the earnestness and power I possess However,' my fear is that the President will push it through by an overwhelming majority. In the first place, practically all the Republicans will vote for it.) In the second place, although I know that the convictions of four-fifths of the Demo crats are opposed to it, manyj of them I fear a large majority will fling :away their convictions on this ques tion to please the President and .do '.his will, as I have seen them! do it on Iwo or three occasions before. . "You will catch some Idea of the enormity of the step which the Presi dent will insist that we take when I tell you that his proposed-program at one bound, in one year, increases our 31a val appropriations more than our total increase for the last 44 years; more than the increase by (Germany lor the whole 15 years preceding the European war, and more than the combined increase of all the nations in the world in any one year in their listory. ' J j j "The five-year program of the ad ministration increases our naval ap- nrnnriatinns fnrtv timps mnre than th increase by Germany in the five years preceding the European war and more than the combined" increase of all the nations of the world for the whole period of ten years preceding the Eu ropean war. : . ; "I wish to observe, too, that before the beginning of the European war we were then expending on1 our navy $30,000,000 more than Germany and for the ten years preceding! the Euro pean war had expended over $300,000, 000 more than Germany or any other nation, except England had expended on its navy. j ; i "This sudden, radical and stupen dous move for war preparation is go ing to shock tbe civilized world, and whatever be the outcome of the pres ent war, will alarm the world again into an armed camp. The j militarists and war traffickers of every nation in the world will point to our conduct as an example and a cause why big war preparations should be renewed on a larger scale than ever before.

I T RATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE CO OF VERMONT P2ef 403-4-6. Borden BuHdtaf. COUNTY GEOGRAPHY Chapel Hill, N. C, Nov. 16. Exten sion Series Bulletin No. 12 on j "The Teaching of County Geography" is now ready for distribution. This bulletin was gotten up for the University Bu reau of Extension by Processor jM. C. S. Noble, Dean of the School of; Edu cation. As Professor Noble says in the introduction, "the purpose p fthis Bulletin is to give methods and sug gestions to those teachers whoj wisn to teach their pupils the geography ct their county." In this study Orantjo county is used as a model. First an outline of topics is presented, and then follows a brief presentation of the geography of Orange county based on this outline. Professor Noble is of the opinion that a careful reading of the outline and of the presentation of Orange c-unty geography will suggest j to teachers in other counties how they may follow the same outline in teach ing the geography and M3tory of their own county. f The general outline for thisj study falls under five heads : Physical-Political; Historical-Political; Indus tries; Towns; History and Education. ; Each of these heads is then taken up in detail. : ; -; .; Realizing that a bare outline of county geography and history would be insufficient, Professor Noble follows , this up with a resume : of Orange county geography and history. - For Instance, among the itmes taken up tinder the Historical-Political' head-) ing, he shows fori whom the county; was named and by whom settled, pop- j ulation, occupation, crops, wealth ot county, road system, manufactures, towns and schools.; The last five pages of the bulletin are given over to "suggestive ques tions for the teaching of county geo graphy and history, taking Crange county as a model." As Professor Noble points out, the purpose of these Questions, and of the outline in gen eral, is to aid the pupil in building up ! hi3 own county geography andjhistory by writing at least one sentence un der each topic of the -outline. - One of the most striking features of the syllabus is the collection of il lustrations. Seventeen cut3 were used in the compilation of this little forty page bulletin. One of the pictures shows the Orange county court house at Hillsboro, and the clock in the tow er -which was presented to the town by King George III in 1769 and has been a reliable timepiece ever since. The most striking illustration is a double page map of Orange; county drawn by Professor Noble. It;is prob ably the only map of its kind Jin exis euce. The heavy border lines of the map show the boundaries ofj Orange no low see bee lay county as defined in 1752 and 1753; g0 row Lee bay may the dotted lines in the center of the joe bow we day nay map show Orange county of today, af- so mow ye gay pay ter ten counties have been formed In hoe me ; fee jay say whole or in part from the county a3 0e j6 tea hay ray first formed. The bulletin contains numerous other cuts and topics of in terest, too numerous, in fact, for a more detailed account of them here. A copy of the bulletin will be sent to every school in North Carolina. Other copies can be obtained by writing to Mr. E. R. Rankin, Secretary of the Bureau of Extension. ; ( See first episode of "The Broken Coin" and hear the orchestra at the Acme tonight. ! CALL OF TnE SEA. Oh, I long for a sight of the sea one? more, .

THE NEEDLEWORK GUILD The Needlework Guild of America Is non-sectarian. The object is to collect and distrib ute, new, plain, suitable garments, to meet the great need of hospitals, homes and other charities and to extend its usefulness by the organization of branches. ; The plan of work is very simple. The annual contribution of two or xore new articles of wearing apparel or household linen, or a donation of money, constitutes membership in a cranch. Men, women and children may become members. The Goldsboro Guild has, since its organization, given all contributions to the Goldsboro Hospital. Its organi zation consists of president and ten directors, each of whom - has ten or more contributors of new articles and one money member under them. Each contributor pledges himself or liereiT to donate two new articles onde a year. It is a most worthy char ity and it 13 hoped that its usefulness may be extended by the addition cf many voluntary contributors before next year. Although eugenics is a back number, Paterson, N. J., still remains to be convinced. . GOLDSBORO VS. RALEIGH Editor Argus: With the defeat of the Wilmington Highs by; "the Raleigh Highs in Ra leigh Saturday, the Eastern claim to the championship title now apparently rests between Goldsboro and Raleigh. The local Highs off to a great start at the first of the season triumphed over the Raleigh Highs here by a 7 to 0 count. Affairs rested well for some time with Goldsboro defeating Kins ton and New Bern and Raleigh, gain ing decisions over Warrenton and High Point Then after the locals had won over the New Bern Highs in that city by a 12 to 0 score, the locals as well as Raleigh were surprised when it , was learned that Wilmington ran a total 117 points to New Bern's 6 points the latter a gift, thu3 bringing into light that strong team which on meet ing the Raleigh boys Saturday met an unexrected defeat and although los ing by a Tone touch down it must be said that they were superior in every respect to the winning Raleigh team. Their undeserved defeat came as a re suit of penalties which the capital city referees inflicted upon the ever advancing Wilmington team. In the opinion of the majority of judges pres ent Saturday at Raleigh the stronger team was unfairly treated, penalties, capital city sympathy, etc., finally proved enough for a Raleigh victory. Out of local High School sympathy for the Wilmington boys comes a feeling irom the local Highs that they will at least have another chance at the proud Capital city team before the Chapel Hill authorities can allow Raleigh to enter against Charlotte, the Western winner, at the Hill. It must be remembered that the lo cals are the only team that has scored a victory over Raleigh this year, no other team having even penetrated their ;: goal. So it remains now for Goldsboro to meet Raleigh for a final decision before the Eastern winner goe3 to Chapel Hill to meet Char lotte. V After a careful survey of the results of State High School battles Golds boro, outside of Charlotte, is the only undefeated team which survives the present football season. Just where our boys must meet Raleigh in the final game is yet undecided but indi cations seem to point to the Capital City, which if that is the decision of the Uni'-ersity authorities will be quite unpopular to the Goldsboro boys as a meeting between the two claim ants on the Hill would only be in jus tice to our Highs and it is generally conceded that if the latter place is the verdict it is probable that the locals will share in "College" publicity with the Raleigh boys. Never before has Goldsboro been so much in the limelight and local en thusiasts should follow the locals on to either place to cheer the boys to the State championship. NOTICE.
