Costa Rica is more than twice as
large as Switzerland. Its great
mountains, plains and valleys are as
a Garden of Eden for wild life. Wild
turkeys, wild pigeons, wild ducks and
quail abound. Deer, tapir and hogs
are found plenty. Some of the lat
ter resemble the wild boar of Europe
but are smaller. In passing from
one feeding place to another they
are seen in droves of hundreds, some
times thousands.
Some of the finest coffee in the
world is raised in Costa Rico. Be

many coffee fincas or plantations
and, in drying season, great
mounds of coffee may be seen on
the concrete floors of the coffee dry

PROHIBITION
FORCES TO MEET
National Convention of Anti-Sa-
loon League Will Meet in Wash
ington in December.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
| Please give space in your columns
for the following:
The eighteenth national convention
of the Anti-Saloon league will be held
in Washington, d. c., December 10
18th. The keynote of this convention
will be national constitutional prohi-
bition. The program will cover the
afternoons and evenings.
| The mornings will be given to sight
seeing and visiting Congress, and it
is very probable that the House of
Representatives will then be consid-
ering the Sheppard resolution to sub
nit the prohibition amendment to the
States.
The program shows a splendid ar
ray of speakers of national reputa-
ton. We note the names of a few:
Bishop Luther B. Wilson, New York
city; Senators Morris Sheppard, Tex
as, Southern Democrat and William
E. Borah, Idaho, a Western Republi-
can; Congressman S. D. Fess, an Ohio
Republican, and E. Yates Webb, a
Jennings Bryan, DR.. P. A. Boher, Ex-
Gov. Malcolm R. Pattison, Ex-Gov.
Robert B. Glenn, Mrs. Anna Gordan,
president of the National Wonlan's
Christian Temperance union. On the
program is found also the names of
many men on the firing line of the
Anti-Saloon league, among them Su-
perintendent Davis.
North Carolina ought to be well
represented at this gathering. The
board Of trustees has requested Gov.
ernor Thomas W. Beckett to head 6
delegation Of one hundred men to rep
resent the North Carolina Anti-Sa
loon league at the national conven
tion and to commission the other re
naming ninety-nine delegates.
In addition to these the board O.
trustees calls on churches, Sunda,
schools, mems classes and other bod
les in harmony with Anti-Saloo1
$ league work to elect delegates to thi
e convention. All such, by the consti
e tuition of the league, are entitled t.
: representation and are invited to unit
r their influence with others for thi
: worthy cause. Reader, present thi
matter to your organization.
We appeal to advocates for nation
e al prohibition to join our delegation
z and we have authorized our superir
q tendent to furnish a certificate to a
y such who may apply. Write Rev. /

You can feel safe In giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vege-
table, medicinal ingredients with no
bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling oil

should help you, too. Try it. 3 "a

Chamois the New Material for Sports

Costumes.
Erte, the famous French fashion
creator, has designed for the Decem-
Der number of Harper's Bazaar two
winter sports costumes that are en-
tirely different from anything we
have ever seen. One made from
squares of chamois-pale gray and
old rose joined with taupe embroidery
has moleskin for collar, cuffs and
girdle. The other costume is a one
piece affair made by joining together
irregular pieces of white chamois.
In addition to these sports costumes,
Erie shows some rather unusual eve
ming gowns. Particularly striking is
one having train of crystal and jet
embroidery and novel black fox dec
oration. Spirally draped tulle makes
the skirt and bodice of jet is added.
An interesting tailored suit is Of blue
velours lavishly trimmed with Rus
sian Sable. The coat shows the fash
ionable surplice front and two huge
tassels decorate the skirt.
| Erie makes his ladies' faces bit
grotesque from our American point OF
view, but his fashion designs are ex-
traordinarily original. Any woman
who is on the lookout for new ideas
would do we'll to follow Erte's crea-
tions, not so much for his models ir
their entirety, but for the novel lit.
tie details with which his work
abounds.

We do not believe in gambling and
games of chance anywhere, and we
did not approve of the gambling fea-
lures of the midway, but there were
other attractions which were enter
tanning and harmless, and we feel
that the fair management deserves
ten times more credit for making the
effort to get attractions trying to
make the fair a success, then those
critics who stood and looked on and

A SONG OF THANKSGIVING

I'm thankful that the years are long
However long they be.
They still are laborers glad and strong
That ever work for me-
This rose cut with careless shears
To wear and cast away,
The cosmos wrought a million years
To make it mine a day.
This lily by the pasture bars
Beneath the walnut tree,
Long ere the fire-mist formed in stars.
Was on its way to me.
I'm thankful Tor the glow and grace
And winsome beauty of the Near.
The greatness of the COMMONPLACE
The glory of the Here.
I'm thankful for mans high empr;se
His stalwart sturdiness of soul.
The long look of his skyward ewes
That sights far-off goal.
And so l feel to thank and bless
Both things unknown and understood
And thank the stubborn thinkfulness
That maketh all things good.
