Red Cross will be on duty each af-
ternoon from two to five, In L'Heris-

There are thousands of boys
among our troops over there who
have neither relatives nor near
friends to whom they might send
their Christmas Package labels. To
assure these boys of their Christmas
packages, the Red Cross decided to
have them send their labels direct to
Red Cross headquarters, and they
would be apportioned among all the
Red Cross chapters, knowing that
many who have no boys Of their own
would consider 1t great privilege
to fill carton and send II to enc
of these friendless ones.
Jerome Chapter has been given
ten OF these labels, and MI Jaycox,
the post master, will give one label
and a carton to each of the first ten
who call for them.
The Red Cross Chapter would like
the names of all Jerome boys who
are overseas. Kindly send names to
Mrs. Piper Immediately.

graphic records that they wish to
send to the soldier boys. please leave
them at Mr.. Armstrong; store.

MEMORIAL.

In Memory Of Mrs. Stella NJ Lawshs


In Memory Of Mrs. Stella M Lawshs-
That dread disease,
Sweeping DER our land,
Has stopped in Jerome
And laid a hand
On one of our young folk, 30 dear.
A girl In our midst
For over ten years;
We learned to love her,
To comfort her fears
And to share her joys and sorrows.
Though tits hard to give
A chum of SO long,
Friendly at all times;
We part with a song
In our heart and a tear In our eye.
The tear is there for sorrow,
Yet, through the hearts pain.
Comes a thought of Tomorrow"
For we'll meet again
Beyond those Shining Gates.
There is little more to say,
And not much else to do,
But give our lives to God
Till He summons US too,
To dwell in the land
Where We live anew.
BY Friend and Schoolmats.

they are by no means fully awake ev-

Marvellous New Discovery

In the old days medicine was the
most mysterious of the sciences. The
doctor seemed to feel that he would
lose part of his authority if he took
the layman into his confidence instead
of nodding wisely and saying nothing.
Even today in some quarters fingers
the prejudice against the proclamation
of a medical discovery in the popular,
as opposed to the technical press. But
such an attitude is anomalous in sci
ence, and is doomed to extinction. It
is rapidly becoming disgrace for the
intelligent layman to be ignorant con-
cerning his own body, in health and
illness; and Hearst's Magazine be-
lieves that the people have right to
the fullest and latest information or
subject of such vital import to them
as the character and cure of disease

Cars and Locomotives of New Type
Built at TarbOrO.
Rocky Mount Cor, Wilmington Star.
The East Carolina railroad has for
the past several years been expert
menting in the construction of self
propelled cars and locomotives in the
shops at Tarboro, and the efforts
have been attendant with much sue
cess.
The road has developed for it's own
use, after five years of experiment,
something that solves the transporta-
tion for passenger service on short
railroad lines. One of the cars has
been in constant service for over four
years and has credit of nearly 201,-
900 miles. The cost of operation is
about one-fourth of that required for
the operation of a steam propelled
train. and by this means this railroad
is able to give the public frequent ser
| vice and trains on time.
A total of six trains have been built
all of which have been successful. A
60-foot baggage and passenger car
and an eight-wheel gasoline locomo-
tive have been built, which will be de-
livered at an early date to the Allan
tic & Carolina Railroad company. This
train will leave Tarboro and will pass
over the tracks of the Atlantic Coast
Line en- route to Warsaw. The con-
struction Of the train is quite a credit
to the East Carolina railroad shops.

GROWTH OF THE ARMY
ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT
Washington Dispatch.

Washington Dispatch.
Before the war began the
United States government en-
ployed approximately 100000 per-
sons in the civil branch. Now
that this country is actually engaged
in the conflict, the great army of
workers behind the fighting forces is
growing by tens of thousands. A
good example Of this rapid addition
of employees is in the civilian force
of the ordnance department Of the ar
my. Seven large rriva te]y owned Of
flee buildings in WASHINGTON are re-
quired to house the officials and
clerks of this force, in addition to the
usual quarters in the State, War, and
navy building, which were sufficient
before Uncle Sam began to prepare
for war. The gun division alone. which
did not exist as separate division
before we entered the war, now has
more than two thousand civilian en-
ployees besides about three hundred
commissioned officers, and it is es-
timated that this division will be three
times it's present size within a year.
The great manufacturing plants of
the ordnance department in various
parts of the country employed about
10000 men last spring. Now 10000
are at work in these establishments.
The task Of supplying these thou
sands of workers in the face of the
greatest demand for labor the country
has ever known is the problem Of the
United States Civil Service commits
sion. At this time great numbers O.
men and women are needed to fill ste
nographic and other positions in th'
offices at Washington and mechanical

eral successful farmers and farm wo-
men of the State, headed by Mr.. F.

be OF practical value to growers from
every section of the State. In addi

has promised a good speaker of ma
tlonal reputation for the occasion.
At time when every industry O

INSURANCE OF SOL
DIERS AND SAILORS
Washington Dispatch.

Washington Dispatch.
The act which provides for govern
ment life insurance for soldiers and
sailors has now been in operation a lit
tie more than a month. TheSecretary of
theTreasury announced onNovember17
that up to that date ,168 applica-
tions under the new law had been re-
ceived, representing insurance in the
sum of $552, ,093, 900. From four to six
thousand applications are received
each day at the Treasury Depart
ment, the amount of insurance applied
for sometimes reaching a total of fif-
ty million dollars in a single day.
The law provides that soldiers, sail
ors, marines and nurses in active SER
vice may obtain from the government
life insurance in amounts not exceed
ing $4,000 at premium rates ranging
from IS cents month at the age Of
Fl years to $1.2O a month at the age
of 81 years, for each $1,000 of insur-
ance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lessen the tremendous bur
den of pensions which has followed
as a consequence of all American
wars.
1t is evident that the adnlinistra-
ton Of this new branch Of government
work is big business itself. But this
is only one Of many government &C.
tivities incident tothe war which are
adding great numbers Of clerks, ste
nographers, and other servants tx
Uncle Sans payroll. Literally thou
sands of stenographers and typewrit
ers have been appointed in Washing
ton during the past few months AM
thousands more are to be appointe'
as soon as they are available. Tn

: sion is holding examinations for thes
