Is CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair! Make it thick, wavy
and beautiful-try
this!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff- awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toll
ct counter, and after the first appli-
cation your hair will take on that life,
lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just few weeks
use. when you will actually see a lot
of fine, downy hair-new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.

exceptions this manteau has replaced
the tailored suit. The great coutur-

alike, and have made charming not

ROWLAND RED CROSS WORK
Membership Numbers Now 600
Seven Auxiliaries Organized
bag of Cotton Campaign
Red Cross Day in Stores.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Rowland. Oct. 2-Tle membership
of Rowland's Red Cross chapter has
continued to increase until it now
numbers near 600. The untiring ef-
forts of our most capable vice chair
man, Miss Kate Mckenzie, aided BY
an enthusiastic membership commit
tee. has made this surprising result
possible. Auxiliaries have been or
ganized at Mcdonald, Furvis, Penn
broke, Elrod, Midway, Hillside, and
Mt. Moriah. In these seven auxilla-
ries we have something over 200 mem
bers. Each of these is doing it's part
in helping with the sewing and knit
ting and is also trying to raise mon
ey 50 necessary for. carrying on the
work. =,
At a called meeting Of the chapter
on last Tuesday night, Miss Kate Nc
| Kenzie resigned her position as vice
chairman Of the organization. All
regret to give her up but realize that
more pressing duties now demand her
attention. Miss Lellie Sinclair was
elected our new vice chairman and
am sure that the chapter feels for
tunate in securing so able leader
| to succeed Miss Mckenzie.
| The sewing committee reports that
: the following garments have been
completed and sent to headquarters:
1 1-2 dozen leggins, 1 doz. pair socks,
4 IL dozen pillow cases, IL dozen
bed sheets, s dozen operating caps,
hospital bedshirts, 2 dozen operating
number sent off,
Forty-three finished garments are
still on hand. The auxiliaries of Pur-
Wis, Pembroke and Mcdonald helped
a great deal with the above sewing.
The other auxiliaries have expressed
their desire to aid, but were Organiz-
ed too late to help with this first
work. The work being done in the
sewing room at present is making
surgical dressings. Notices are being
: sent out from Red Cross headquart-
ers that any contribution of old lin
en- such as WORKOUT sheets, pillow
cases or table cloths will be much
appreciated. Have them nicely laun-
dered with all starch washed out be-
fort bringing. They can be used in
making bandages and pads for these
hospital supplies.
The most urgent call at present is
for money amounting to from $500
TO 94UU WIN WHICH TO purchase WOOL
for knitting. AS has been said be-
fore, we are asked to furnish one
hundred outfits-each consisting Of l
sweater, muffler, 1 wristlet and
pair of socks. We need money and
workers to supply these. Let every
woman in the town and community
learn to knit and come help U.S. We
must not fail in having our appor-
tionment- though it may seem
ready to send to the front before
the severest cold is on. A great many
are already asking for wool so as to
help with this knitting; but thus far
on account of the shortage in sup
ply, we have been able to secure on

Mr. Jobson has invented ploW-
that's all. He hasn't wrought out

thought, produced an idea that will
make available, without penny OF

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Chesterfield, S. c., Sept. 23-Pret-
ty in detail and charming in it's SIM

sd Lee Funderburg to Mr.. John D.
Canady at $3.50 o'clock on last Sun
day morning at the home of the
brides parents, Rev. and Mrs. B. S..
Funderburg. Only the immediate
family and few intimate friends of
the young couple were present.
Miss Rosa Lee made a charming
bride. She wore a rich burgundy
coat suit of broadcloth with accesso-
ries which harmonized beautifully, and
carried beautiful bouquet of ferns
and white chrysanthemums.
The groom is very popular young
man. He spent his last five years in
Wake Forest college, where he receiv-
ed his A. B. degree in 1915, and his
l.. l.. B. in 1917. He has since been
admitted to the bar and is now ris-

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT

Church Services Proposed
2-Day Session of AssOciatiOn-LO,
the Poor Teacher-ErrOr Corrected.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, R. 5, Oct. 1T is a
treat to be at home after strenu-
Gus campaign of nine weeks in re-
viyal meetings.
There we're two additions by bap-
tism to the membership as a partial
result of the meeting at Oakton last
week. The baptizing will take place
at the Atkinson mill the 4th Sunday
morning in this month at $3.50.
We earnestly hope the old folks
from all around will attend the ex-
arcises at Cedar Grove next Sunday,
as mentioned already in The Robson
ian. In the afternoon we have prom
ised to preach a special memorial
sermon at Singletary's x Roads
church at $3.50, in honor Of the. mem
orv of Annie Pearl, the infant daugh-
ter of MIR. and Mrs. Koy Byrd, who
left them two months ago.
The two-day session of the asso-
citation as proposed thoroughly meets
with our approval. The third day
has always been hardship-hard
on the officers to stay after the main
body of the delegates has gone, hard
on the community to prepare for its
entertainment, and worse than hard
ship on the objects of the convention
that are assigned for that day. They
simply suffer. Let's have only two
days.
We were sorry to miss the union
at Bear Swamp, but we could not at
tend both it and the Central in Bla-
den. The rain put the union over
there almost out of commission, but
enough came that we had very en-
joyable service, splendid dinner, and
an informal program in the after
noon. The next session meets with
the church at Galead,. near Baden
boro, in December, with Rev. VIM.
Brisson of Dublin to preach the SER
mon.
We thank the committee for a place
on the program at the Robson union,
but the subject was too big for US
anyway. We refer it, like the coun-
try church problem in general, to
those who know the most about it.
Well, if the reports are true, the
number of first-grade teachers is pit
iably small. The "exam" in the sum-
mer was mighty hard, and the one
for next summer is to be still hard
err. So teachers better get on their
studying caps. Just how they are
to keep up with expenses and attend
Institutes, summer schools, ct cetera,
at the starve-to-death salaries for
their work is problem: but it will
be solved sooner or later. Maybe the
millennium will soon dawn and that
will end all their hardships.
That article by Rev. S. J. Porter
Of Texas, given on the front page OF

A Whirlwind Campaign

Dale Carnagey in World Outlook. Before a whirlwind money-raising cam-
 paign opens one large subscription-usual-
 ly one-tenth to one-third of the entire
 amcunt-is secured conditionally upon the
 raising of the entire sum within the al- lotted time. This keeps the reins tight
 and hurls the campaign home to climax on the last day. In several instances one third of the entire amount has been raised on that last day to save the large conditional gift--in Philadelphia one-third of a million was brought in during the
 closing 24 hours.
 Just to keep things from sagging and to have the whole project swinging along lively from the start, other advance sub scriptions are secured and these are poured in whenever the enthusiasm needs endorsements.
 One way to keep canvassers enthusias- tic is to get their own contributions first: "Men cannot solicit successfully unless they have made their own con tributions."
 l Ward fashions a list of from 1000 tc 6000 prospects, according to the size of the city; these names are taken from the roll of current contributors to the association, club and church member ships, and Bradstreet's and the telephone directory.
 ! Each man is given a list of prospective subscribers to see and he Is held to that list with military exactness until the last day or two of the campaign, when the ropes are cut and the canvassers can approach people not on their cards. On the last day subscriptions sing in over the wires and keep from one to six receivers off the hook constantly. An executive committee of five men is appointed by the Y. M. c. A. board of
 directors to conduct the campaign, ex- pend money and act in emergency. A citizens committee of from 50 to 15t of the older and more influential busi- ness and professional men in the com
 munity handles the large givers or those who ought to be large givers. A business mems committee, the young CT men--men of steam and ''pep''-stir ul the town. Ten captains have 10 men each--they are mobilized at an opening dinner and day after day they smash down the lethargy of the city. They report at headquarters for daily mess at noon and fill their belts with couple hundred rounds of enthusiasm. An illustrated prospectus showing plans of the proposed building is shot out tc every prospective subscriber before the in fantry charge. The canvassers carry this prospectus with the mso that a donor
 may visualize just what his dollars are going to do for his city.
 The expenses of such campaign rents, stenographic help. printing, posters travelling, deficit on luncheons and so on-- are usually per cent of the amount raised--lower on very large funds Shrinkages are not more than from to 5 per cent if collections are made promptly.
