The monthly business meeting OF
the National Special Aid society will
be held at 4 p. m. Wednesday, Oct.
18th at the society's headquarters,
3rd floor of Lumberton cotton mill CT
flee. End and Elm. The presence cf
each member is requested, as busl-
ness of importance will be transact
ed.
The secretary publishes each month
the names of contributors and dona-
lions. If these same contributors
could witness the joy and apprecIa-
ton with which each gift is received
by the active members it would thor
oughly repay them for their LIBERAL
ity.~ People have been generous and
good, otherwise the National Special
Aid would have to suspend work, as
the society's only steady income is
the penny-fund, which amounts to
about SIS per month, and necessary
materials could not be bought with
this amount.
But while talking about the good
people YOU must know about the lit
tie people who have worked hard and
faithful in the society all summer,
and some are still working, even
though spending 6 hours per day in
school for 5 days of the week. Boys
and girls have canvassed large ter
ritories each Saturday morning, rain
or shine, collecting pennies for tie
penny-fund. Girls go each Monday
afternoon to the work-rooms and cut
scraps for pillows. Recent
ly the children of the local U. D. c.
gave the society nice little sum OF
money; and a crowd of little girls
a few weeks ago gave a charming
play for the benefit of the N. S. A
It is the Titles that count in al
things! Almighty God will certainly
bless these unselfish children who are
giving up their playtime to work Sc
cheerfully for their country, trying t.
keep the horrors of war from theil
happy homes.

democracy, the slackers will benefit
as we'll as those who win the victory
but the slackers will get no charac

gets the most out of it who puts the
most in it.
