twenty-three Of them-but when the
state president, Mrs. c.. Felix Harvey,
of Kinston, dropped the gavel Friday
at noon and declared the twenty-third
annual convention adjourned, it could,
IN truth, be said that more important
business, more pleasing features, more
distinguished guests, the. attendance
OF every division officer and ex-state
president, had combined to make this
H. gh Point meeting the most memor-
able of them all.
The opening session on Tuesday
evening in the beautiful high school
auditorium. was features by the pres
ence of Mrs. Josephus Daniels and
Mrs. Newton d. Baker, both of whom
participated in the program. Our
Own Adelaide Worth Bagby," as she
was lovingly introduced, was present
ed by Mrs. Harvey, as one Of the
SOuth's great women and not sate1-
lite revolving in the glory of her dis
tinguished husband. Interpreting the
ovation given her, Mrs. Daniels prefac-
ed her address with the tender words,
Il now believe home cares about me
and l do know I care about home"
Closing, she said, 81 long for the time
when I can return home and do my
humble part among you"
Mrs. Baker Sings.
Mrs. Baker, the wife of our nations
great Secretary of War, who was pre-
sented by Mrs. H. A. London, of Pitts
uoro. charmed her audience in what
she termed the wars greatest song,
When Pershing's Men Go Marcnnlg
Into Picardy.' AS an encore she rem
dered the popular strains of Uncle
Sam" a song that she has used dur
ing the war with such splendid sue
cess in her work as a morale booster
in the training camps of the Ameri-
can army. Each and every prophecy
OF this song has long been fulfilled
.44IQ lha = fact made the. great audi
ence enjoy, all the more, the song,
coming from a woman whose husband
had helped make that fulfllment pos
sible.
