LIGHTED CANOES
TO HOLD PARADE
At PARK OPENING
Committees Add New Fea-
ture to Evening Program,
When Visitors Gather at
Richmond's Summer Re-
sort.

Morton Lake will present an AMI
mated scene on June II, opening day,
when the surface of the new body OF
water will be covered with row boats,
canoes and motor boats dashing here
and there and comparing results OF
races and contests. The tentative
program for opening day, when Will
be announced after the meeting or
the Commercial club advertising COM
mittee Thursday includes matches and
concerts at both ends Of the lake all
afternoon, concluded at o'clock with
the balloon ascension.
The latest feature which has been
added is the canoe carnival for night.
1t is believed hundreds of persons VIII
take picnic lunches to the park 10
stay during the evening and as the
park will then be lighted, this idea
will appeal to many.
The canoe carnival will consist OF a
parade of decorated canoes, lighted
with Japanese lanterns. The most
striking decorations or those which
please the judges best, will draw for
the owner of the canoe cash prize
offered by the lake and park COM
pany.
The program opens at 1 o'clock at
the west end with motor boat races
and speed trials and at the east end
with an endurance swim by Casper
Parker who will cover the mile and a
half circuit from the bath house to
the dam and return to show what con
slant training in swimming will do.
Band To Play.
Short snappy contests will follow
each other rapidly from that time on
until time for the balloon ascension
A band will be playing much of the
time.
There is some talk of making the
Morton park day an annual affair fall
ing on July Fourth, the cups to b.
awarded for year, and contested fol
at each celebration. The Palladium
cup is now the only one offered anc
this will be the special object of canoe
racers on opening day. Probably one
or two more secondary cups will bt
added later to be awarded in the
races.
Printed programs will be sent ou
on June l over the city and count!
and to the cities visited by the Rich
mond Boosters in their two trips. Thu

DISTRIBUTING GIFTS

London, Dee. 4-Scores of employees
of the Diapers Chamber of Com
mierce were engaged today in unpaci-
ing and in arranging for distribution
the consignment of toys, clothing and
sweets sent by the children of the
United States to the orphaned chill
drcn of British and Belgian soldiers.
These are the gifts that came over on
The New York Worlds steamer Jason.
The Local Government Board is the
custodian Of that portion of the ia
sons cargo assigned to England and
Belgium.
Already the gifts for Belgian chill
dren still in Belgium have been turned
over to the American Relief Commit

over the canals leading from Holland
into Belgium. A large supply of pea
nuts forms II part of this Christmas
Offering from America, and will be

A YEAR FOR HOMEMADE GOODS

A farmer ought to have an automo-
bile if he can afford it; but if he mort
cages the farm to buy one he is n fool.
mat illustrates the position of the
United States with regard to import
ed goods. We ought to buy as few of
them as possible now, simply because
we have not the means to pay for
them.
Ordinarily the thirty million dol
lars or so that we spend yearly in Eu-
rope for art works is justified. So
with the other thirty million we spend
for laces and cmbroiderics, and n long
list of foreign goods. We pay for
them with foodstulrs, cotton, copper,
petroleum and machinery. We have
those things to spare, and il is good
to swap our surplus for other things
that adorn our galleries, our homes
and our pulchritudinous persons.
This year our exports of cotton are
cut to II third of the ordinary dimcn-
sions; exports of copper and petrol
cum arcr estricted by thew ar. Eu~
rope should buy nothing of us that is
not absolutely necessary. We should
buy nothing theret hat we do not have
to have. We already owe billions
there. Every purchase will increase
thed cbt or drain our stock of gold.
Europe can pay IL tradeb alance i'm
our favor by simply canceling so much
of our Indebtedness. A trade balance
IN her favor puts us that much deeper
in debt to her. This is the year to in
sist on American goods.-Saturday

AN ENTHUSIASTIC TEACHERS
MEETING.

On Saturday, the 9Th, the teachers
of the Jeifersonville school district
met IN the Tazewell High School Aud
itorium. The meeting was called to
order by 5. H. Gollehon. The chair
man, after stating the object of the
meeting, proceeded with n formal
program for that occasion.
Each subject was handled by the
teachers with n great deal of care and
preparation. They showed they vera
fully alive to the serious problems
and difficulties that confront them in
the education of the young.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the program was the general
discussions on each subject assigned.
The teachers, with few exceptions, did
not hesitate to express their opinions
ON the important subjects under con-
sideration. This made it easy for
each teacher present to gather some
important ideas to use in handling
their every day difficulties.
We were favored with talk on
discipline by Editor Leslie and hope
that we may be able to get other citi-
zens and patrons of the school inter
estcd in these meetings.
AT the close of the meeting it was
agreed by the entire body that all the
papcrs should be published in the
county newspapers. After which the
meeting adjourned sine die.

ROANOKE Times.
Packages for the Belgian refugees
should have on them no marks, words
or expressions of any kind-nothing
but the plain address to The Virginia
Relief Commission at Norfolk, Va.
The Germans are very jealous of any
possible war information or messages
being sent in. They are said to have
held up whole cargo a month be-
cause of a single word printed on a
bag.
For the credit of humanity it is
gratifying to know that the Germans
deny that they are levying tax on
flour sent to the Belgians.
The Virginia ship has beben assign
ed-the "Lynerta." She will be at
Hampton Roads within ten days.
Hurry, committees. If you have
money buy flour, rice, peas, corn, any
non-perishable food. Collect and pack
all such food you can get. If you
have serviceable clothing, stuff you
can buy cheap because it is out of
fashion or shop worn, but which will
keep out the cold, or that merchants
will give you, pack it and send it to
Norfolk. The stuff should be moving
fast, so that we may know when the
ship arrives whether there is load
for her.
And do not write or print on any
of it anything but the direction.

Thousands Of people keep on suffer-

not know what to do for it. Neural
gia is pain in the nerves. What you
want to do is to soothe the nerve
itself. Apply Sloan's Liniment to the
surface over the painful part-do not
rub it in. Sloan's Liniment pene-
trates very quickly to the sore, irri-
tated nerve and allays the infamma-
ton. Get n bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment for 25 cents of any druggist and
have it in the house-against Colds,
Sore and Swollen Joints, Lumbago,
Sciatica an dixie ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief. AT

A STUNNING" FACT.
New York World.

New York World.
President Seth Low Of the National
Civic Federation speaks in his annual
address of Stunning effect" of the
war in bringing home to this country
the great extent of its current indcbt-
edness to Europe. The amount is
placed at $500,000,000 year on ac-
count of returns on foreign capital in
vested, expenditures Of American
travellers, and otherwise.
IL is probably not an excessive cal
culation. But even more stunning
than the amount is thep rogress made
in its reduction since the war began.
American travellers have been
spending abroad over S100,O00,00O
yearly, and this current claim against
the country has been reduced next to
nothing by the war. Enormous
amounts of American securities held
abroad were sold back at panic prices
before the war broke out, and have
operated materially in reducing inter-
est and dividend payments to be made
to foreigners. We are now additional
ly taking large amounts of European
bonds and notes in payment for war
supplies.
1t is estimated that merchandise ex-
ports in November exceeded imports
by $70,000,0OO. Before the war much
more than half this amount would
have been clipped off to square the
months invisible debt to Europe.
Moret han half of it is now available
to command gold or debt from Eu-
rope. The one stunning fact in this
connection is that within a few
months the country has made great
er advance toward financial independ-
ence than previously in perhaps as
many years.
