ASK TO SEE HIS LICENSE
No Reason Why Any Citizen Should
Be Imposed Upon by Anyone
Claiming to be an Agent.

There Is no reason why any citizen
should be imposed upon by anyone
representing himself as an agent of
an insurance company. The law pro-
vides that every agent shall carry his
license with him and exhibit 1t on de-
mand. Read the law:
Section 470G Agents must procure
license. Every agent of any insur'
ance company authorized to do busi'
ness in this State shall be required to
obtain annually from the Insurance
Commissioner a license under the
seal of this officer, showing that the
company for which he is agent Is II
censed to do business In this State,
and that he Is an agent Of such com
pany and duly authorized to do busi
ness for 1t. And every such agent, on
demand shall exhibit his license u
any officer or to any person from
whom he shall solicit insurance.
Sec. 34S5. Agent to exhibit license
II any agent OF any insurance com
pany shall. on demand of any person
from whom he shall solicit insurance
fail to exhibit certificate from the
Insurance Commissioner bearing the
seal of his office, dated within one
year from such demand. he shall be
fined five dollars or imprisoned ter
days for each offense.

II. M. James To Manage New
Magazine

/ The many friends of Mr.
Roland M. James, the popular
Secretary of the W. D. Tillery
store, will be interested to learn
that he has accepted position
as business manager of Every.
woman, a new magazine but re.
Gently founded at Raleigh.
Mr.. James has lived in Roa-
noke Rapids several years and
has become very prominently
identified with the business,
church and social life of the
community. His leaving Roa-
noke Rapids to take this new
position will be a distinct loss to
this community.
Mr.. James friends, however,
are confident that success will
crown his efforts in his under
taking to establish fins ncially
the new magazine. Certainly il
he succeeds in winning over the
State at large the respect and
esteem he has gained in Roanoke
Rapids, the circulation of Every
woman will closely approximate
the population of Tarheelia!

Prevention the Best Policy

The Chinese policy of paying a
doctor to keep you well instead of
curing you, or trying to cure you,
when you get sick, is rapidly
gaining favor in this country.
Prevention is taking hold of
practically every movement hav-
ing any hazards whatever with
health or life. For school child
ren there is a system of medical
school inspection having for its
purpose to discover and prevent
defects and diseases that may
mature and mar in later years;
for wage earners and industrial
workers there are laws protecting
against physical injury and i'm
pairment as we'll as laws for the
prevention of occupational
diseases; for business and pro-
fessional men and women there
has been designed the periodic
physical examination in order to
prolong the usefulness and life
of man when most valuable.
Health insurance is another
form of disease prevention that
provides medical treatment when
it is most needed. A number of
State legislatures will be called
to act on this question at their
next meeting. The Safety First"
idea is at work not only in mills
and railroad shops but in schools,
in the home, and in all the activ-
tiles of life. 1t is believed that
accidents do not just happen but
are made and are therefore
preventable.
In this country, twenty eight
states have laws protecting the
health of the worker. Ninety
two laws for the benefit of the
working man were passed in one
year by Congress. An ounce of
prevention weighs more today
in the public mind than ever be-
fore.

Mrs. S. J. Bounds, of Roanoke

Grand Prize, the $4,000 diamond
ring, and Miss Maud Wilkerson,
Of Roanoke Rapids, was the Win
ner of the Second Prize, the $35. 90
Elgin watch, in the Herald
Christmas Contest which closed
on Saturday December %. Mrs

1850, 600 and Miss Wilkerson's
945, $50.
A good many contestants have
won cash commissions on new
subscriptions which have been
turned in. While the contest
was not as successful as at first
it has resulted in the
adding of several hundred names
to the subscription lists of the
HERALD and unlike many news
paper contests it has been carried
out with the greatest good feel
ing all around. Taken as a
whole we believe the contest has
been profitable both for the
HERALD and for the contestants
who participated.
While the contest was officially
closed on SATURDAY, the 23rd, the
ballots were n3t tabulated and
The prizes awarded until Tuesday,
he 9th, at which time, Mr..

Wants To Know How To Sleep
Warm In Fresh Air

please tell me how on earth
one can sleep warm and have
fresh air at the same time these
cold nights, is a recent inquiry
made of the State Board of
Health. 1t seems that there are
people who are willing to obey
the doctors injunction to sleep in
fresh air, night or day, hot or
cold, freeze or fry, but who are
finding it rather a chilly propo'
sition while the thermometer
plays around the zero mark these
nights. Nevertheless, the State
Board of Health has a word of
advice for the cold sleeper which
tells him to first get ready so as
not to get cold feet on the propo-
sition and drop it altogether. The
advice of the Board is as follows:
People cannot expect to sleep
warm in cold weather whether
their windows are open or not
without first making preparation
for it. This requires, first, soft,
warm night clothing that covers
the arms and feet; second, plenty
oflight covering, preferably
woolen blankets which are lighter
and warmer than quilts; third, a
soft, thick bed that let's no air in
from underneath; fourth. warm
bath robe and slippers that will
enable one to get in bed warm.
Zone of the essentials for Sleep
ing comfortably in cold fresh air
is going to bed warm in warm
night clothes. If necessary, a
night cap and eiderdown foot
warmers should be worn. The
bed should be more than a thin
mattress. One can get cold for
lack of covering underneath as
we'll as on top. A cold sponge
bath in the morning will not only
make fresh air sleeping easier
and more delightful but it will
create such a resistance to cold
that thinner clothes may be
worh and less covering needed
at night"

ROANOKE RAPIDS
SCHOOLS HONORED
Asked to Present Methods Used in
Teaching English in State
Educational Journal

That the Roanoke Rapids
Graded Schools in spite of (ol
should we say because of?) theil
youth are keeping well in the
vanguard of educational progress
in North Carolina is strikingly
shown by the fact that these
schools have been selected by
North Carolina Education, the
official organ of the teachers of
the State, to present the work
done in connection with their
Reading Circle for the benefit of
other schools in the State.
This exposition of the pro-
gressive methods used in our
schools appears in the December
issue of Education" and follows
an exposition of similar nature
prepared by the West Durham
Schools in the November issue.
The program given was the work
of Miss Mary Powell, teacher of
English in the High School. A
number of the teachers told how
the study of English was con-
Quoted in their grades and ex-
amples of the work of several
pupils is given.
The most interesting article is
probably the composition on
'The Eradication of Malaria in
Roanoke Rapids" prepared by
Miss Irene Cannon, a pupil of
the Tenth Grade.
That the Roanoke Rapids
Schools should have been in tied
to present their methods in this
journal of Education should be
gratifying to all parents interest
ed in the education of their
children as it is the strongest
possible proof that the work
done by Superintendent A. M.
Proctor and his competent faculty
is modern. progressive and
efficient. In other words, we are
getting dividends from our in
vestment in schools.
