| nations, headed by Chairman Howell

noble woman and crown her here"
President Robert H. Wright of the

Cary High School, and Miss Sallie
Bethune, principal of the Fourth
Ward School of North Charlotte, were
elected members of the executive
committee.

public re-reading, the revised 'Consti-

doubt in the former document.

brought to conclusion by a pleasant
event-the presentation Of beautiful
loving cup from the assembly to Mr..
R. D. w. Connorpf Raleigh, in token
of his fine services as secretary from
1906 to 1913. The presentation was
made by Retiring President M. c. S.

touched by hits unexpected tribute. 1t
was awarded amid long-continued ap-
plause.
The singing of so pupils of the
Charlotte High School, under the
leadership of Mr.. Robert L. Keesler,
was delightful feature of the even
ing. They occupied seats on the ros-
trum and rendered several songs in
a creditable fashion.
The assembly adjourn al about 1880

Hiding Holes in Wall Paper,

Not long ago a woman, who wished
to hide an unsightly nail hole in her
white striped wall paper, found that
the hole would just accommodate a
short stick of white chalk which, when
put in, seemed to do very well for
filler.
Vinegar will moisten plaster of paris
better than water in using it to stop
up hole Or crack. It is easier to
manipulate, as the vinegar makes it
more like putty. It does not dry out as
soon as water. The mixture will not
harden until you are through han.
ding it.

and other fruit-growing sections of

that the suggestion is made, and a
most timely one he considers it, that
IN sending provisions 60 the homeless
and starving Belgians it would be an
excellent idea for this fruit to be pur-
chasted and sent. He says It can be

Graham Has Good Report,

Commissioner of Agriculture w. A.
Graham is rounding out his annual
and biennial reports for the General
Assembly and in preparation for the
annual meeting of the State Board OF
Agriculture. He says that the re-
ports will show great progress in the
work. One of the most gratifying ad-
vances that will be reported, he says,
is the experiments being made in the
grading of cotton for the markets for
the enlightenment of the farmers in
this respect through the cooperation
of the Departments Of Agriculture.

special Freight Rate viii stand

An order by the Corporation Com
mission in the matter of the action OF
the railroad companies in the with
drawal of the special commodity in
trastate freight rates, directing that
the railroad companies must continue
these rates in force, except where
such rates were made over longer
routes to meet rates in effect BY short
er route, and refund must be made by
such railroad companies to all SHIP
pers who have been charged increas'
ed rates by reason Of the withdrawal
of such special commodity rates as
are not permitted to be withdrawn by
this order within 80 days from the
filing of the claims for such over
charges" The order adds that with
respect to rates to or from any inter-
mediate point over any railroad lines
where any such special commodity
rate is applied between specific points
under this order, the commission Will
give prompt consideration to any COM
plant from any shipper who may be
aggreived by the continuance of such
special FdLGS, OI NY ally AoAAuA . ~ ~P
ply such special rates to or from any
intermediate points"
The commission further points out
that the Legislature is to assemble
within less than so days and the rail-
road companies will then have an OPP
portunity to take the matters involved
before that body for further legisla-
tive expression.
In the meantime the view is taken
that the direct declaration of the JUS
tice act that special commodity rates
that are lower than he rates pre-
scribed in the act shall be continued
and of the special rate commission
that existing rates on commodities
not mentioned in this schedule are
continued in effect" are too plain to
be ignored Furthermore, that these
rates were put into effect by the vol
untary acts of the railroad companies
themselves to meet special conditions

Girls Canning Clubs Fine Work.

Girls Canning Clubs Fine Work.
Mrs. Jane S. McKmmon, in charge
of the Girls Demonstration Work,
under the supervision of the North
Carolina department of agriculture,
has compiled a report Of the opera
lions of the girls canning clubs OF
the state. The report embraces 80
counties in which these clubs oper-
ated, two counties failing to report.
The report shows that $50 girls
were members of these clubs; that
they, put up 259,O91 packages of can
ned fruits and vegetables in tins and
glass, having money value of $685.
$3.50. In addition to this, they sold
fresh vegetables and fruits amount
ing to s3,019.65. The cost of can
ming the fruits and vegetables amount
ed to $9,7O416. From this it will be
seen that the girls made net profit
of $25, 983.64, which is a remarkable
record for the smaller number, less
than thousand girls participating.
The cost above is exclusive of the
girls labor as it was almost impos-
sible to get anything like correct
estimate of the time consumed in
canning and gardening. Mrs. Nc
Kimmon is now working on a plan
to remedy this defect next year.
Mrs. McKimmon is in receipt OF q
letter from one of the leading whole
sale grocery concerns in New York
City placing an order with her for a
carload Of fancy packages of fruits
and vegetables for delivery next Sep

of the North Carolina Canning Clubs.
A representative of this concern visit
ed the various fairs in the state dur
ing the fall, and was so impressed
with the work of the Tar Heel girls
that he Immediately got in touch with
his house recommending that the
order be placed.

Raleigh.

Commissioner of Labor and Print
ing M L. Shipman finds in the COM
pilation of the reports from news
papers and periodicals received for
his forthcoming annual report that
qualifications in North Carolina, both
newspapers and periodicals., show a
substantial growth for the past year.
The increase in publications has been
81 in number, and the combined circu-
iation exceeds that of last year by
more than $4,000 copies. There is a
movement toward a higher class of
publications from year to year, and
also an advance in subscription rates,
with a noticeable tendency to place
subscriptions on a cash basis. The
weeklies have been forced, by the in
creased cost of production, in a num-
Der of cases to raise the subscription
price from 81 to $3.50 year. This
suggestion, in the main, applies to
the SPACE Weeklies who are striving
to give to their readers better
news service and better home
paper. The dailies' have in some
instances, and for similar reasons,
been compelled to advance their
subscription rates also. Four of the
10 morning dailies are published every
day in the week, thus showing de-
sire to keep pace with the progress
of the times. At the present time the
situation of the newspaper business
appears to be in a satisfactory con-
dition, and, as the reports have indi-
Gated, has been progressing steadily
the past year.
