Belgian Relief

A movement is on foot headed
by Shelby Topp and w. x. Will
son to raise funds by public do
nations for the relief of the Bel
gian cause. Mr.. Topp has al
ready sent $500 to the Cainmer-
cial Appeal to aid the Belgians.
It has been suggested that the
Sunday Schools Of the city be in
terested in the movement and a
day set apart to takescollections
for this worthy cause.
The Belgians are our neighbors
in the truest sense of the word
they are in need. Starvation
faces them and women and child
ren who few months ago were
surrounded with every comfort,
are today hungry and poorly
clad. The rigors of winter are
approaching and millions are
without homes. Truly it is a
case that should appeal to us all
and result in the loosening of
our purse strings. 1t is true
that it is difficult for US to realize
their abject poverty and dire dis
tress. 1t is also difficult for us
to give up those thinge which go
to make up our daily pleasures
and add to our comforts. AL
though, there is a world vide
wa, raging and business has
been interrupted, yet we in this
section are still enjoying our au-
tomobiles, our daily supply of
good food. the ladies are still
wearing fine hats and stylish
gowns. Clubs are meeting reg
ularly. The men are no less up-
to-date in their wearing apparel.
With these conditions prevailing
we are evidently able TO civ e
something to those of cur fellow
creatures who are without food,
clothing or shelter.
Now, every body can't give
large sums, but everybody can
give something. The widows
mite was a gift that has become
divinely historic. If you are
able to give $500 don't give so
cents. Those who are able to
give more should respond liberal
ly but everybody should feel
that it was their duty to give
something. Topp and Wilson
will receive donations.

Our Ring Contest

In looking over the list of Don
testants already nomlnated@ N
the diamond ring contest one
will observe that they come from
the representative familiessRof
this section.
The Young women who have
been remembered by their
friends and nominated should
show their appreciation Of the
confidence their friends have
placed in them and get busy
with the determination Of win
ming one of the beautiful dia-
monds.
The campaign will be short
and snappy one, lasting but little
over thirty days, and you have
nothing to lose. Pledge your
friends to your assistance before
they are promised to some other
candidate. T
While the contest has been iRr-
maily launched there is yet plen-
ty of time for some ambitious
workers to enter the race.
Therefore if your town or local
ity is not represented by wide
awake candidate send a nomina-
tion to the Contest Manager at
once.
Do not be discouraged by the
length of the list nor the numb
of votes some candidate may
have to her credit. 1t is purely
clean open fight and the best
will win, The campaigning will
soon have a strong foundation OF
interest, which fact is demon
strated by the many inquiries
received at this office concerning
the campaign.
The smallest tendency to resist
before entering this campaign Isl
overcome when one realizes tllss
is purely a business proposition
The awards are genuine diamonds
and worth every dollar adver-
tised. The one who works the
hardest and secures the greatest
number of subscriptions gets the
diamonds. 1t is not as tho you
were asking aims of the general
public. Those who have this
idea are misinformed. It's
legitimate business to get sub
scriptions for the Journal and
magazines used. We pay the
highest salary to the one doing
the best work. No aims giving
in ,hat
For a limited time we are CIV
| ing 500 extra votes on every
subscription turned in. Now is
the time 70 gather them in and
get the 500 extra votes. Taper
heads Of the Tupelo Journal with
the date line count for rs votes,
and the huad line of the Daily
Bulletin with the date line counts
five votes. Save the head lines
for your favorite.
This is an opportunity for
making Christmas gifts. When
giving a subscription to con-
testant to be mailed to a friend
for Christmas remembrance
have her mark the subscription
accordingly and beautiful gift

Rapid Growth in Population
of West Orange Indicated
by OyercrOwded Schools

Rapid growth in the population of
West Orange, was indicated by
School Superintendent Alton II.
Sherman's announcement last night
at meeting Of the West Orange
Board of Education that the new
Fairmount and High schools are al
ready overcrowded and the capacity
of several rooms is severely tested.
The total enrolment for the opening
week showed 1.912 children. an in
crease over last year of thirty-four
pupils eyes, electric light attachment
sidered "a request for additional
teachers to handle the children.
In several instances there are more
children than desks in the school
rooms and it may be necessary to
divide the Fairmount kindergarten
into two classes. one in the morning,
the other in the afternoon. DR.. ].
Minor Maghee was authorized to
purchase a couch. cards for testing
pupils eyes. electric light attachment
and new cabinets.
A tentative calendar, which will
likely be adopted, was submitted by
Mr. Sherman for the coming year
The children will have 1872 days, as
against 1888 for last year, and ten
weeks will be allowed for vacation
time in the summer, the schools to
reopen on September I, 1915.

SEEK HELPFOR
WOMAN VICTIM
OF DRUG HABIT
East Orange Officials Ask Sub
scriptions for Treatment of
Mrs. Cora Dill.

Finding it impossible to induce any
institution in the State to treat Mrs.
Cora Dill, of East Orange, as drug
w H. O'Neill. of that city, and City
Physician George c. Beckett are OBJ
taining subscriptions so that the un-
fortunate woman may be placed in
the asylum at Morris Plains. The
authorities there will only care for
the woman with the stipulation that
she will pay 81 day for treatment
Touched by the woman's plight,
Chief of O'Neill and DIR. Beckett have
done all possible to aid in curing her
of the habit, but their efforts proved
unavaillng. so they agreed TO solicit
funds to insure proper treatment.
Chief O'Neill had kept the woman at
his office for almost a week, hopeful
that he could induce some institution
to volunteer to give her treatment.
DR. Beckett has given whatever aid
was possible, and during the past two
DAYS obtained more than $50 for her
care. Chief O'Neill swelied this sum
considerably this morning by dona-
tions obtained by Lieutenant Henry
Hector about the City Hall and po-
lice department.
DR. Beckett at noon took the woman
to Morris Plains in his automobile.
Mrs. Dill pathetically declares she
does not believe she is a helpless vic
tim, and that she will eventually rid
herself of her craving for morphine.
Her struggle against the habit and
her refraining from taking the drug
has left her in pitiable disabled
state but DR.. Beckett thinks proper
treatment will effect a permanent
cure.

INCREASE Of 435
IN SCHOOL PUPILS
Registration i'm East Orange Is
SIT, Board of Educa-
ton Learns.

An increase Of 435 pupils on the en-
rollment of East Orange public schools
was reported by DR.. Edwin c. Broome,
superintendent of schools, to the
Board of Education at its first meet
ing since the summer months last
night. With a full quota of teachers
and all the buildings in condition for
occupancy, the schools opened for the
fall term yesterday
The registration at the schools last
year was 5,342. and this year to date
it is $5,777 The biggest increase in
the enrolment was at the High
School, 1,00t pupils being registered
while last year the figure was S69.
Included among the new pupils
who help to swell the High School at
tendance were graduates of the city's
parochial schools, who successfully
passed entrance examinations. The
parochial school graduates have to
obtain higher percentage than that
required of pupils who have complet-
ed public school classes.
Six teachers were unable to return
because of Illness. but in such cases a
satisfactory substitute was found.
Two teachers in the city were mar
ried while on their vacations. Dr.
Broome said the vacancies resulting
have been satisfactorily filled. The
unexpected large registration at the
High School means that additional
teachers in English will have to be Sc
cured.
DR.. Broome Informed the board that
the elementary course of study has
been prepared In its provisional form,
and that all the teachers have copies
of 1t. 1t is sproposed to have the
course in operation for a year before
making final revision.
So pleased was DR.. Broome with the
reception the board rendered new
teachers last year that the superin-
tendent suggested the holding of a
similar function this year, and the
idea was approved The superin-
tendent is to fix q date for the affair
later. DR.. Broome thinks the idea
affords excellent opportunity for the
new teachers to form the acquaint-
ances of the older ones.
Miss Bessie Taylor Parish, director
of the kindergarten class at Elmwood
School, has become engaged since
June, so she requested that she be re-
leased from her contract with the
board. Her resignation was accept
ed. Auditors who recently examined
the boards finances found balance
of $4,000, which is unusual, Secretary
Warren j. Clapp said. The boards
financial year starts in July. Mr..
Clapp stated because of the balance it
was unnecessary to borrow in antici-
patton of taxes,
