Rowland, Dec. 8+Mrs. w. P. Webb
of Rockingham who made the first
talk on Red Cross work in Rowland
made talk to the colored pepole here
about two weeks ago. She explained
fully the work of the Red Cross in a
most interesting manner. The atten-
tion given her by the colored people
might be an example for an audience
Of white people. They are willing and
happy to learn of way to do their
part IN this war. This was shown
ward and gave their names for mem
eeIving Red Cross pin.
Wednesday night they met in their
school building and organized an aux
Iliary or section to the Rowland Red
Gross chapter. Competent officers

u live organization.
The colored girls of the school anc
any women who wish to learn to kni1

are IN earnest about the work, and M
doubt Will do Il good part. When they

help They are loyal to their church
and viii prove just as loyal Red Cros
workers.
Mrs. Webb also made talk to tn
colmcd people at Beauty Spot tn
same day that she did at Rowland Ii

expect to organize next Sunday, tax
ing IN the community around. 1t
hoped that all denominations will b
present as the church has no connec
ton with Red Cross.

THESE THREE

We bow beneath wars chastening rod;
Our native blood stains foreign sod
We're out of harmony with God.
From decades spent in false repose
We wake to war and all its woes
Whom we thought friends we find are foes
II devastating sword we'd stay;
If wars dread sufferings we'd allay;
1t means to work, to fight, to pray.
Then work. idle moment waste,
Not one must be allowed to taste
The bread of idleness. Make haste!
Then fight: that warrior tires.
Then fight: shame not your honored sires
Fight to preserve your hearthstones' fires.
Then pray for wisdom, courage strong.
To do the right correct the wrong
These three well done, war can't last long.

NAVY RECRUITING OFFICER
WILL VISIT LUMBERTON

Will be Here December %, % and "a
for Purpose of Explaining Navy to
Those Interested.
Renewed efforts are to be put forth
in North Carolina to recruit the navy
on the 22nd ,23rd and24th of December,
1917. A/recruiting officer will be 10
Gated in the postoffice building to dis
cuss the navy with all young men in
terested in it as department for ser
vice, and to sign up applicants for en-
listment.
Many bright young negro men will
find the navy proposition for mess at
tendants attractive. The pay is ex-
cellent and the service pleasant. There
are other special branches of the nav
al service which are to be recruited.
The navy needs Immediately great
number Of men for training as fire
men in the engineers department. AL
so, it needs a great number of negro
mess attendants. Men for the seamen
branch are still being enlisted. The
rating of mess attendants should be
particularly attractive to the annbi-
tious young negro men. The pay tc
start with is S37 per month, together
| with clothing, subsistence and lodging
Experience as waiter in hotels or pri
| vate families is required with letters
of recommendation, although any
bright young negro should be able tt
secure this rating. 49,
In view Of the fact that an an
nouncement has been made from
Washington of the machinery being
put in motion for the selection Of thu
next draft, it is thought chat recruit
ing should take an impetus in thi
State.
