Fine Charity Work
By Fassifern Pupils

The Episcopal students of Fassi-
fern made their Easter offering in
the shape of thrift stamps. They con-
tributed forty-four dollars in this
manner. to the church building fund
of st. James parish. This offering was
the result of self-denial entirely. AS
the Rev. W. R. WetmoFe said, point
ing with pride to the new church in
Lincolnton, "There is not an oyster
nor saucer of ice cream in it,
After the Offering had been made
Miss Shipp received from former
student a check for four dollars,
which was applied to the same pur-
pose, making total of twelve sheets
of thrift stamps.
The same students sent a box to
the Thompson Orphanage at Char
lotte. Each girl had placed in it, a
new garment, and the result was
total of about forty articles of cloth
ing for the orphans. Each year, since
the founding of the school, a box
has been sent at Easter to the or
phans. This year, in addition, the
Episcopal girls have sent So each
month.
Since the school was moved to
Hendersonville, the students as a
whole have supported scholarships at
Franklin and at Salisbury, both un-
der Presbyterian management, and
have sent boxes to Mrs. Sloop at
Crosnore and to missions in various
parts of the mountains. This year,

Paint Up Goes Hand in

Because a clean up with
out a paint up is useless and
absurd. Houses that ore un-

cleaned up.

The interest shown in the depar-

among the colored than with the.
whites. The negroes took a. day off
and it appeared as though the whole
colored population turned out to say
farewell. but the whites were lone
some for attention. The most of it
came from the ladies, working, it IS
understood, under the auspices of the
Noman's club.
The white soldiers were taken to

slightly in excess of 1,5O0-for Hen
derson county and net Increase of
28O members during the past month.
The matter of transferring the
fund subscribed for an ambulance to
the general Red Cross fund1was dis
cussed and expressions of those who
had been written to about the mat
ter were heard. Some objected to the
transfer of the funds; some thought
the transfer should be made and
others regretted inactivity toward
the raising of sufficient amount to
purchase an ambulance, as was at
tempted here last year.
$500 For Ambulance.
The biggest boost given the ambu-
lance movement was expressed in
letter from Miss Sallie B. Miles of
New Orleans, who, while summer
visitor here last year; offered sub
scription of $25 toward the purchase
of an ambulance. She stated in her
letter that if necessary to make the
movement a success she would give
$500 on the purchase of an ambu-
lance. The matter is held in abey-
ance.

High COTTON Price
features Dull DAY
May Option Goes to 33.75-To-
bacco Issues Strong.

New York. April 3.-Another dull
day in the street had as its feature to-
day new high record prices for cot
ton. the May option going to 1915
cents a pound. Among stocks some of
the tobacco issues were strong and
there was accumulation evident in
the Marines, General Motors, Texas
Oil and Lead. Shorts covered in
American Sumatra and Studebaker.
The buying OF American Car and
Foundry. Corn Products and Distillers
was very good. There was consider
able investment buying in various de-
partments.
The strength OF Car and Foundry
was due to tine expectation of orders
being placed by the government for
about 10000 cars. Some eighteen car
building companies will participate,
but all will have all they can do in
the next few years, and at
guaranteed profit. Car and Foundry
will naturally get the cream of the
order because of its proved efficiency.
Buying of Corn Products and Dis
tillers was due to expectations that
prices would be raised for their pro-
ducts. There Is persistent buying of
the former in hundred-share lots,
evidently for persons who intend to
hold it until after settlement of the
litigation in which 1t is involved. Like
American Can, the Corn Products
Company is piling up a great surplus
in cash which in the course of
events must be paid out in dividends.
Neither company expects to pay div
idends on the common stock for a
year at least.
There is also persistent accumula-
ton of tobacco stocks of all kinds.
One reason for this was disclosed
yesterday when official announce
ment was made that the government
had taken the entire output of the
American Tobacco Company's Bull
Durham factory for the soldiers.
Even that great factory does not
furnish all the tobacco needed, and
every cigarette concern in the coun-
try is hopelessly behind on orders.
The government, in considering
things for the soldiers. ranks meat
first, then wheat, coffee and tobacco.
These are the four great necessities.
1t has been proved by experience that
especially when fighting and on long
marches, the soldiers can go without
food an average of two hours longer
If they have a supply of tobacco. As
this is the country OF original supply
there is no danger of the American
public being deprived Of its tobacco
as the high price will inspire more
planting.

United states to develop a merchant

by reason OF the abundant return car
goes which can be secured. II branch
banks are to be successfully estab-
Iished IN South America-and some
have already been-it is necessary that
there be a large export trade from

trade to the United States from LATIN
America. In other words the United
States must buy in greatly increasing
measure Of the products OF the South

Mr.. Wands reports to Secretary Nc
Adoo that Peru has within her borders
what must probably be considered the
most highly mineralized portions of
the earth's surface as yet explored
by man. In addition to her gold and
silver, her copper mines, one of which
Is under the control OF American cap
ital, are producing many thousand
tons OF copper a year and there are
extensive deposits of zinc and coal,
only awaiting exploitation. Further
more. Mr.. Wands reports that the
agricultural possibilities of Peru are
stupendous. Sugar and cotton now are
close rivals for the first place in her
agriculture.
Increase Worlds Food supply.
Some years before the death of
Mayor Grace, he said that after
transportation facilities had been
secured the wonderfully rich virgin
soil OF the vast plateau of Eastern
Peru wuold be utilized for the cul-
tivation of wheat and when this Is
done the worlds annual supply of
wheat will be very greatly in
creased. Bolivia was one Of the
countries visited by that part OF the
commission OF which Mr.. wands was
chairman, and he found there most
tempting opportunities for the in
vestment of American capital in the
exploitation of the vast mineral de-
posits of Bolivia.
Mr., Wands ventures the opinion
that Latin-American today offers
opportunities on a basis never pre-
sented before, not only for the ex-
tension OF or trade in foreign mar
kets but also for the investment
of United States capital in profita-
bit enterprises-this especially in
view of the fact that South Amer

come one of the worlds great
sources of food supply for the most
densely settled countries. The re-

tary McAdoo in the aggregate make
