FLU VICTIMS.

Miss Clarice Newlin, Mrs. L. D.
Rurchfie1d and children, Mrs. Stamey
Atkins and daughter Frances, Carl
Bundy and family. \
= Miss Eva Hunt is suffering from
flu.
Fifty per cent of all deaths in the
city in November were due to in
f1uenza In the city. 80 deaths were
reported, 21 from flu; and 81 births.
In the township outside of High Point
Is deaths and 13 births were reported
and 12 Of the deaths resulted from flu
or pneumonia.
The city council at a called meeting
Friday night decided to keep the lid
off and trust to luck in the flu cpl
demic. 1t was argued that no good
would be accomplished by closing
schools and one or two other public
places without closing all, in the
meantime the people will have to look
out for themselves and try to keep
frem catching the disease. It's a hard
and seffots treubie confronting us,
anyway.

staying endurance and must soon
pass away. s~@
Love is never selfish, but always
generous and gives freely Of itself to
the cause and object of it's deep con-
Germ and sympathetic interest. 1t
neither counts the cost nor, considers
the sacrifice, and is ever ready not
only to do by others as it be done by
but with an overflowing desire to help
love gladly goes further and does
more as the need may demand.
This world is not lacking Of means
for mans physical comfort, spiritual
growth and intellectual development;
lands, houses, food and clothing are
at hand in sufficient supply or in easy
reach to meet his energy requirement
only love is lacking to make the need
ed provision and supply the want.
The widow and the orphan are left
to face cold and unfeeling world and
meet it's hardships as best they may;
the sick and suffering are stunned as
unworthy of care and attention when
love is not present to make the sacri-
fee and render the needed service.
Love is thoughtful and does not cas-
lily forget something is needed and
love remembers. Many a good deed
is left nndOne, many a kind word is
left unspoken because of a lack of
little thoughtfulness to perform the
needed act or speak the helpful word.
''If had only thought" is often the
only excuse for an inexcusable neg
ligence.
How Do We Love?
Love grows by instructive training
and cultivation. We are taught 70
love through the gift and presence of
the divine spirit and as the evil pro-
penstiies and destructive hatred in
our erring human nature is subdued
and love and good come in and take
their place.
Why Do We Lover
We love because the element Of
love is within u.s. He who receives
love is enriched and blessed. but he
who lovesgives it out to others-is1
more greatly enriched and possesses
a treasure no earthly ill may destroy.
What heaven gives the world cannot
take away.

GENERAL PERSHING TO .AMERI-
r CAN FARMERS.

This message of appreciation from
General Pershing to American farm
ers was received by Carl VrOoman,
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculturei
who is now in France with a commit
tee of American agricultural repre-
sentatives:s
American Expeditionary Forces,
Office of hte Commander-in-Chief,
Z France, Oct. 16, 1918.
Honorable Carl VroOman,
Assistant Sec'y of Agriculture,
Dear Mr.. VroOman:
Will you please convey to the farm
ers of America our profound apprecia-
tfon of their patriotic services to the
country and to the allied armies in
the field? They have furnished their
full quota of fighting men; they have
bought largely of Liberty bonds; and
they have increased their production
of food crops both last year and this
by over thousand million bushels
above normal production. Food is of
vital military necessity for us and for
our allies and from the day of our en-
try into the war, Americas armies of
food producers have rendered invalua-
BILE service to the allied cause by sup
porting the soldiers at the front
through their devoted and splendidly
successful work in the fields and fur
rows at home.
Yours sincerely,
JOHN J. PERSHENG.

AAdoo.
II most earnestly urge upon you
that your aRganizatiun make every

ssof the year. The Eovernment's none
Vary requirements were never greater
shor more pressing than they, are to-
lay Expenditures FOR November were
IgEeater than in any similar period
These expenditures growing out of the
war must be met BY borrowing from
the people and their magnificent re-
sponse heretofore to the Governments
requirements makes me confident that
they will not fail to continue their
support to the end that all payments
fesulting from war necessities will be
promptly met. Much remains to be
done. Our brave troops must be main
tained and paid until their work is
fully accomplished and they are re-
turned to their homes. This is not a
time for us to relax our efforts and
the Treasury Department is making
plans for larger and even more i'm

Please makezevery effort to bring this

REDEEM YOUR WAR SAVINGS
PLEDGE BY CHRISTMAS AND
GET BACK YOUR CARD.

Redeeming your War Savings
Pledge by Christmas is your most i'm
mediate duty Pledges unredeemed
after December 81 will. count for moth
ing when North CaroIina's war record
for 1918 is considered. The pledge
cards that are left in the hands of
the agents after that time. will be held
as unredeemed pledges and wilis be.
considered as failures. Therefore, it
is most important not only to redeem
your War Savings pledge, but to take
your Stamps to the agent that holds
your card, show him that you have
bought your stamps, and when he has
written "Reedeemed in full" on the
card, get it back in your possession.
Until this is done your pledge card
will be an outstanding obligation to
the Government against you.

AT THE HEAD OF rHErAsLE.

- North Carolina has been s7ftfRg al
| the head Of the table, say good folks
/ Tor Mr.. Simmons has been head of thf
finance committee; Mr. Overman has
been but little lower in the seniority
SLn1nences; Mr.. Kitehin- is the nation.
al leader; Mr.. Pou carried the work
| along when Mr.. Kitchfn bucked, and
we now or have had Jodannels, Dave
Houston and Walter Page >,in., high
places. :
That is what we call Sitting at the
head of the table" Rmt there is a.
more substantial table at which all
men must sit, and it does not depend
upon rule of seni6rity or geographic
pull. This is the table which corn
and wheat, sweet taters, sorghum,
peanuts, peaches and apples adorn.
Sitting at the head of the table,
holding high places in the government
is all right, but these do not possess
An absorbing interest for those who
have chronic hiatus in the pantry.
The latest report of the commissioner
of agriculture shows that North Car
ol4na,s table products deserve to go
on the nations banquet board and to
have seats right up at the top.
In IL years North Carolina has risen
from 9th position in wheat growing
u H1Htu anu tn1S year the govern
ment credits the state with 1857 ,OOOl
bushels of wheat. This is $4,000
more bushels than needed forsaI pur-
poses. Corn production goes from
25th to 18th production, neither top
nor bottom, and 63 OOO, 900 bushels will |
be the yield in this great year. In
sweet potatoes North Carolina ranks
third, at right angles from head of the |
table. In peanuts we are fourth, but
still able to carry on conversation
with the head man. In sorghum wei
are fifth and in cotton production,
high essentially in food-makfng, we
are first in yield to the acre. We arei
seventh in peaches and tenth in ap-
pies, while the fruit put on exhibition
beats the world a.
Thus does North Carolina sit at the
head and about the head of the great
national table, and we are persuaded
that few more top-notch positions
such as these would leave the North
without concern as to whether Claude
Kitchin said the South will levy the
taxes and the North pay them, wheth-
er the same section is to ram prohi-
bitiOn down the national throat. or
whether yet again Democratic "man-
darins" have wearied beyond endur-
ance. Il

THE REVIEW OF THE DEAD.

Some one has figured out the mOrtu-
ary result of the war as follows:
,. At daybreak they start twenty
gbreast-until sunset they march
ana the next day, and the next, and
the next.
For ten days the British dead pass
in review. For eleven days more the
French dead file down "the Avenue
of the Allies" .
For the Russians it would require
the daylight of five weeks more.
Two and half months would be re-
uired for the Allied dead to pass a
given pofnt-twenty marching abreast.
The enemy dead would require more
than six months.

AS 1t Looked

beginning with county clerk.
Charlie Howell is a doggoned
good fellow, is popular with those
who know him, has made a rat
ting campaign, and we believe
will be elected by a plurality.
l. f. Thorn, being a leader
among Nonpartlsans, very popu-

go into the race believing he
would be elected. The party
being up stump for a candidate,
We finally decided to have some
all round fun out'of it-and when
that's told the whole story is told.
The why we didn't expect to
be elected was that we didn't t
care enough about the Office TO
90 out and make campaign; as
to hire someone ON the Herald,
which wa would had to have
done, would practically have
used up the clerks salary. We
consequently didn't spend a day
electioneerlng.
One Of the surprises growing
out of our candidacy was the at
tempt Of our republican friends
to punish us in u financial way
for lending our name to the tick
ct. We don't know who was re
sponsible for the switch that wa:
made, but under all the clrcum
,tances it certainly was ilI-advls
., and showed u peeyishnes'
tina I doesn't accord with grown
mn II understanding OF things.
On treasurer, we believe Mis-
Alma | eonard will be elected b.
4 plurali ", and that Miss Alic
Jack will ne second.
We base tnis advantage to Mis-
Alma on the red-hot campaig
she has made, and that she is
