and as people always like to ask
questions and advance their own
ideas of the management of
things it waF thought wise to j
have the delegates participate
in these round tables, for then
they will feel as though they
were really a part of the Con
vention and that is the idea the
co-operative committee, having
in charge the gathering, is de
sirious of creating in their
minds. The workers here are
expecting good and lasting re

preparing for it with a deal of
interest.

hookworm disease are attract
ing wide-spread attention. Fif
teen eastern counties have made
the necessary provision to have
them. In four of these counties,
Robeson, Sampson, Columbus
and Fairfax, the work was com
pleted about three weeks ago
and an average of 3,000 victims
of the disease were treated in
each county. The Counties of
Wayne, Onslow. Cumberland
and Northampton now have the
dispensaries in operation. About
one hundred people are being
treated daily at each of the dis
pensaries. Pender, New Han
over, Brunswick, Craven. Pitt,
Warren and Hertford Counties
have made provision for the dis
pensaries and will be entered as
soon as possible. Bladen and
perhaps two or three other coun
ties will take action the next
first Monday. The dispensaries
remain in a county usually six
weeks. The good results of
their work are so apparent that
after the dispensaries move to
new fields the local doctors are
kept busy continuing the treat
ment.

city. '.
Bellingham, Washing.. Oct. 9.
President Taft predicted here
today that the Panama canal
would be ready for use on July
1. 1913. "The canal." he said,
"is the greatest constructive
work since the Christian era."
The President also declared that
Canada was going to be sorry
that she had not adopted the re
ciprocity treaty.
Speaking of the opening of
the Panama canal the President
said he would let the people of
Bellingham "intoa little official
confidence."
"If nothing untoward hap
pens," he said, "you can count
on the completion of the canal
not later than the first of July,
1913. It has only been promis
ed on the first of January, 1915,
and if it is not ready until then,
you must not say that anybody
made a promise that it would
be completed before. I am ex
pressing a hope based on a cal
culation, but of course, man pro
poses and God disposes. It is
possible that something will
happen down there in the way
of slides or delays that may con
tinue until the first of January,
1915. But I don't want you to
have any unpleasant surprise.
I don't want you to have heart
disease if you learn that the
first ship goes through on the'
first of July, 1913.
"There is one topic that I' had
intended to discuss" with you."
said the President, "but our
neighbors across the border a
week or more ago seemed to
make it past history. But I
think you will agree with me
that in doing so they made a
mistake. Had the treaty real
ly gone through it would have
been greatly beneficial to both
countries." ... - - -
