CALIFORNIA ORANGE DAY, MARCH 10, 1877

Saturday, March 10, has been an
nounced as California Orange Day
and will be celebrated throughout the
country by hotels, restaurants, COM
mission houses, grocery stores, re-
freshment parlors and in railroad din
ing cars and dining stations.
On that day it is hoped that every
man, woman, ard child will consume
at least one orange-as a reminder
that this is one of the most healthful
of all food products. The orange can
be prepared deliciously in SO many
different styles that great number of
people utilize them for each meal OF
the day regularly.
"Orange Day" is fixed anniver sary
with a multitude of people, and this
year the number of participant ts bids
fair to excel any previous record.

RECORD PRICE FOR HOGS

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Hogs sold today at
the Union Stock Yards at $12.40, the
highest price since the civil war.
Sheep also advanced in value and
reached S11.85 for wethers. This
price was the highest ever seen in the
Chicago market being paid by butch
ers. Cold weather which delayed
many shipments was responsible for
increased prices. Advance in cattle
prices was less marked.

Brinkley High School Notes

A most interesting football game was thoroughly enjoyed by all onlookers on last Friday. The participants were the Brink ley and Forrest City teams on the formers grounds. Forrest City made poor showing, though they had several excel lent players. the score being B to 0 in Brinkley's favor. The Brinkley team was delighted at having Private Lawrence Morris as referee. Several other games are scheduled for the near future.

Girls Canning Club Work

Perhaps there are some who do not understand the purpose of the Canning Club and won der why organizations are being made at this time of the year.
 By organizing clubs now thorough study and preparation can be made for actual work in the spring and summer. While on the other hand if we wait un- til spring to do organization work it will be too late to have demonstrators because the time must be spent in securing club members. During the winter the girls will have club meetings and make a complete study or soil, its preparation, plants and their care, cultivation and har- vesting. When actual work starts each girl is capable of managing her own little plot of

 The first year club work con- sists of the raising of one-tenth of an acre of tomatoes. Each club member manages and does her own work as far as possible.
 Useful and needful demon strations will be held next sum- mer and girls will be taught the canning of all fruits and vege- tables for home use as well as for the market. By marketing her products each girl can real ize the neat little sum of $23. 30 profit, from her one-tenth acre garden. A prize will be offered to the one marketing the most canned tomotoes.

 The Junior Class is rapidly growing. One new member was enrolled this week, Inez Hoover, from Wynne. The class has this year been increas- ed from three girls to seven girls, but it is still minus a boy.
 Some new song books have been placed in the school. They contain all the old songs that we like most to sing.
 The Basket Ball Teams are preparing for some out of town games. They are practicing each afternoon in the week.
 An interesting talk was given in the different rooms by MT. Turner, on Wednesday. His subject was the value of learn- ing to write a legible hand.
 Rev. Jorgenson of the Chris tian church, was present at the opening exercises Thursday morning and he and Miss Beas- ley favored the school with a duett, after which Mrs. Brick ell's pupils gave a few selections.

It would seem that after the good advice given us by one of the health officers and others, at the opening of school, that all these nuisances would be done away with, but we are sorry to say they are not.
 There are many cases of ma- laria here, and why? Let each one of us look around our own home for the things that are causing disease. Get rid of all tin cans and if we cannot get them hauled away, take a ham, mer and nail and fix them so they will not hold water, put a little coal oil in the rain barrel once each week, cut the weeds and keep the walks swept and the leaves that are now falling raked and burned.
 These are little things and would only take a few moments of time and would prevent much sickness and make our town so much more inviting. Our yards

STOLE AND WRECKED CAR

Mr.. A. E. Whites Hudson Was Stolen
Last Night and Wrecked at River
Bridge Near Town-Blood on Run
ming Board and WOman's Shoe
Found Near By.
The person who stole Mr.. A. u.
Whites Hudson automobile last night
had a close call when he drove the
auto against the iron railing at the
bridge across Lumber river on the
Creek road about l mile south OF
town. When the wreck occurred the
auto was headed towards town, as the
car struck the railing at the south
end of the bridge. One of the front
wheels of the auto was broken into
pieces and the car had to be aban-
doned by the joy riders.
There was some blood on the run
ming board of the auto and it was re-
ported that woman's shoe was
found near the scene of the wreck.
A colored man who lives near the
scene said he heard the cries OF wo-
men at the bridge about IL O'Clock
last night, but was afraid to venture
out.
There is curve in the road just
beyond the bridge and had the car
missed the railing no doubt 1t would
have plunged into the river. Mr.
White says he is sure the car was
running at least 40 miles per hour
when it struck the railing.
The automobile was locked up In
car house near Mr.. Whites resi-
dence and staple was pulled In Or
der to get it out.

Liberty Loan Apportioned Among IL
Reserve Banks

Treasury officials at Washington
announced Saturday night the appor-
tionment of the second Liberty bond
issue, offered today, among the va
rious Federal Reserve districts of the
country. Virtually two-thirds of the
loan is expected to be raised by the
New York, Boston, Cleveland and
Chicago districts, with, one-iiaiI sSes
portioned to the three first-named dis
tricts.
In making the apportionment Of
ficials used two bases Of subscrip-
tions, the minimum of $3,0OO,OO0,OOo
and an unexpected amount" Of $5,-
100000. Apparently, in offering
the second issue, officials hope to real
ize $4,000, 100000 amount. Appor-
tionments indicate only what each dis
trict is expected to do, and may be
entirely upset, as in the case of the
first Liberty loan by the actual sub
scriptions.
The apportionment for the Rich
mond district, of which North Caro-
lima is a part, is 4 per cent, a min
imum of $120,000,00O.
