RESOLUTIONS.

The High Point Woman's Club desires by
the following resolutions to express it's ap-
probation of its relationship with Mrs. w. D.
Simmons and its sympathy for the bereaved
family.
Whereas, our beloved sister and co-worker
Mrs. w. u. Simmons, has been taken from
our midst, removed in the providence of our
Heavenly Father, from works to reward, there
fore be it resolved:--
That the Woman Club of High Point has
lost in the death of Mrs Simmons steadfastly
loyal member. one who was regular and pune
tual in attendance upon meetings and who
could be depended upon to fulfill all appoint
mentS;
That while we miss her bodily presence we
cherish her progressive spirit, sympathetic
touch and words of encouragement: the domi.
nant note of her life seemed to be helpfulness;
she was ever ready to assist any good cause
and give a word of cheer to the discoura yed.
That not only the Womans Club but the
whole community has lost one who was in
terested in every advanced movement for pub.
lie welfare and the common good;
1 That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the mother, husband, children and other neat
relatives, and mourn with them the loss of
sympathetic friend and companion;
That a copy of these resolutions be sent to
the family of the deceased, another published
in the High Point newspapers and thfrC
spread upon our minutes.
On behalf of Woman's Club,
Mrs. Henry A. white, President,

A Pleasant Birthday Of Editor and Friend

Sunday was the birthday of the
editor OF The Review and it was also
the birthday of Mr.. David Welborn.
hvlne miles southwest in Davidson
county and for the second year, the
editor and his family journeyed in
an automobile to the hospitable
home of these good people. The
day was an ideal one and the fullest
enjoyment from the occasion was
experienced. There were some
twenty-five people present. Mr..
and Mrs. Welborn, and their daugh-
ter Mrs. Craven and her four chill
dren, Mr.. and Mrs. Criddlebaueh
and child, Mr.. and Mrs. W. L.
Stamey and four children, Mrs.
Blanche Wix and child, Miss Bessie
Clodfelter and MI. j. C. Mills, en-
ployed at The Review office. This
was Mr.. Welborns 74th birthday
and he has been married 49 years,
next year being the Golden Ami
versary, and for 49 years Mrs. We'll
b. IN, the noble helpmate has pre-
pared such a birthday dinner.
The editor cannot begin to de-
cribe the good things to eat-it was
a fit spread for a King and no hotel
ever equalled it ia wholesomeness
and elaborateness. These good
people live at home' in the true
sense of the word and there are
none who practice more abundantly
the good old southern hospitality.
They are a father and mother to all
in. their kindliness of spiritand mag
nanimity of heart and hand. Many
more years of blessed union and re-
union is the wish of the editor.
MIR. Welborn was a Confederate
soldier and fought in many of the
battles.
In the morning number of those
gathered attended services at Mt.
Pleasant, near by, and heard a
splendid sermon preached by the
Rev. Mr. Shelton of the M. P church,
who chose as his text the 18Th Chap
ter and 10th verse of End Kings.
Mr. Shelton stressed the importance
of the family altar, of the parents
right walking, so that the chill.
dren would follow in their foot
steps, to a better life.

Things Political.

1t is more than, likely that High
Point will put out another candidate
for the House, It is also learned
that Greensboro will do the same
thing. High Point candidates should
pledge themselves for the new
county or the citizens should refuse
to vote for them. They should
stand boldly for the new county, re-
gardless of what effect it will have
on the voters not favorable to the
new county. A principle is worth
fighting forand it just as well be
made an issue in the primaries.

MEXICAN INFORMATION THAT

Before Mexican War of 1846 Mexico
Was About AS Large AS United
States. 1T Has Is, 900, 600. Peo-


1t is interest ing to note that the
area of Mexico is practically as
great as that of the United States
between the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic coast. the Great Lakes
and the Gulf of Mexico, varying in
altitude from sea level to $4,000
feet. Its climate is affected by these
elevations and by range of IL re-
grees of latitude. Twelve hundred
miles is the distance traversed in
passing south from Juarez, on the
northern boundary to the capital,
and 900 miles more to the south.

Mexico and Caribbean seacoast line
extends for 1900 miles, wnlle the
Pacific ocean and Gulf of California
touch 1000 miles of Mexican coast.
Prior to 1886, Mexico. as Span
ish colony, and the United States
covered approximately equal areas,
but the Texas secession and the re-
suit of the Mexican war added near
lv 100000 square miles to our
territory, aud the extend of Mexico
now is less than one.fourth that of

surface water percolating through it to
carry contamination into the well.
In the selection. location and sinking
OF a well it is always a good idea to
consider permanence in addition to
safety. The well should penetrate to a
level below that of the ground water
surface In the driest seasons.
Unpolluted springs are, as rule.
good sources of water supply. since the
water usually comes from great depths
within the rock or is filtered through
many layers of sand and gravel. How
ever. springs are subject to pollution
from the same sources as wells and
should be closely watched in this re-
spect. Farm spring supplies are often
polluted by the drainage from build
ings and stock pens. Spring water
supplies from limestone are also sub
ject to pollution from distant garbage
and sewage dumps In sink holes. The
same precautions should be taken for
safeguarding spring supplies as in the
case Of wells. and in addition the
spring should always be fenced to keep
out stock.
