JAMES E. RUSSELL DIED
AT FLETCHER LAST FRIDAY.

The relatives and friends of this
community were called upon to
mourn the loss of one of our oldest
and best men, James E. Russell, after
an active and useful life, on Friday,
May 8, 1918. James E. Russell was
born on Thursday, July IA, 1886;
age 80 years, 10 months and 10 days.
He ~professed faith in Christ and join
ed the M. E. Church, South, in Feb
ruary, 1897.
In his declining years he has been
unable to attend church but his daily.
walks were those of a true Christian
and often he has expressed his will
ingness to go whenever God should
call him.
AS a citizen and neighbor he had
the love and esteem of all who knew
him. To know him was but to love
him. He lived not for self but for
the good he could do unto others. He
was always ready to lend a helping
hand to those who were needy and in
distress. He has left a vacancy
which no one can fill. o.
Notwithstanding these sad circum-
stances we will have to bow our
heads in humble submission to Him
who doeth all things well.
Out of a family of five children
only two are left to mourn the loss of
the deceased brother, J. N. Russell
and Mrs. Youngblood. To his only
daughter, Mrs. Nora Long, we ex-
press our deepest sympathy in this
hour of sorrow.
The funeral was preached by Rev.
Mr.. Smith on Sunday at IL O'Clock
at Patties Chapel. A large crowd
was. present.

L. and Some of the Things 1t IL
Doing.
Editor Hustler:
About six years ago the Agricul
tural Department began what was
known as "Tomato Clubs" for girls
Later, as other vegetables and fruits
were successfully packed and put on
the market, the name was changed to
"Girls' Canning Clubs" This work
was carried on among the girls, dur
ing the summer months. Soon the
older women began asking for help
and suggestions along housekeeping
lines, preparation of foods, food val
ues, feeding of children, home con-
veniences- and other subjects which
meant raising the standard of house
keeping. The winter months, when
the girls were in school, and the
mothers more at leisure, were chosen
for the organization and conduct of
these Home Demonstration clubs.
In North Carolina, there are now
rs of the 100 counties engaged in
home demonstration and canning
clubs. A woman is employed in each
o fthese rs counties to supervise the
clubs. ""@ur~.a,~~"
The money to support the work is
secured as follows: From county
commissioners, Board of Education
and in some cases, from local boards
of trade or chambers Of commerce.
In a few instances private individuals
have made liberal donations. What
ever these bodies give, is matched,
dollar for dollar, up to $500 by the
Agricultural Department; $500 is the
average county appropriation in
North Carolina. Fifty counties fur
nish Ford cars in addition to their
appropriation.
In 1917 the enrolment numbered
5,725 girls and $500 women. These
club members filled 8,778,262 jars
and cans with fruits and vegetables.
They dried 557,853 pounds of food
stufs and brined 288,568 gallons of
vegetables. The total profit on their
work was $2,179, 1862. Compare this
with the profit in 1915, which was
$88, 381. Over a thousand home
made freless cookers were made and
used by the club women. Their win
ter gardens numbered 4,918. Of the
100 community fairs held in North
Carolina last fall, many were direct
results of home demonstration. The
agents also acted as judges in nearly
all fairs held in the State.
About $50 community canneries
assisted by our county home
demonstration agents. The pros
poets are that a great many more of
these canneries will be established
this season. The food conservation,
teaching war cooking and marketing
food stufs have constituted
of this winters work in many
counties. AS State agent for home
demonstration work and State direc-
tor for home economics, Mrs. Jane S.
McKimmon, Raleigh, N. c., has done
a wonderful work in placing North
Carolina at the head of the list in
club work for rural women and girls.

II so, do you realize that the present
law Of New Jersey provides for it's blind
by sending a child from the day of its
blindness for special care, maintenance
and education to the Arthur Home for
Blind Babies, Summit, N. J. There
are twenty New Jersey blind children
there now, and several have been grad.
uated to schools for higher learning.
This institution which is a home,
nursery, hospital and kindergarten for
the blind will take the blind babies and
children too young and too backward
to enter the schools already for the
older blind.
A mother has no longer reason to
hide away her blind baby because it
is helpless, or acts queerly when COM
pared with a seeing child of the same
age The State will give it q chance
at the Arthur Home, and according to
the records of the Institution, the ba-
by that does not prove that a chance
was all it needed is exceptional.
The New Jersey law provides $3.50 a
year tuition. The institution has OPEN
ed its doors for any blind child from
any state, private pupils paying $3.50
a year. Thirteen states are already
represented. One can send his blind
child to school now just the same as he
can send a seeing child, but it is adj
visable to get the baby there as soon
as possible after becoming blind, for
the hospital care is quite essential to
keep the baby normal as is the men,
tai training given.
The Arthur Home is approved by
the State of New Jersey, and the certi-
ficate OF approval hangs framed in the
main hall. Guests are always welcome,
and there is no prettier sight imagina-
BILE, than witnessing these little blind
folks in Kindergarten session in the
Arthur Home for blind babies, Pine
Grove avenue, Summit. N. ].
