ade the most representative one
ever held in the county. To
this end, every fraternal, or other
organization, is invited to pc in
it. This includes the local Camp
of 400 Woodmen, the Junior Or
der, the Order OF Moose, Red
Cross, Odd Fellows, Masons, and
other orders. Each organization
is urged to begin making plans
now for representation in this
parade, each order to march as a
distinct unit, with it's own BAN
ners, flags etc. 1t would be a
good idea for each order to be
preceded by its own float, espe-
cially descriptive of the things
for which the particular order
stands. There ought to be 1000
fraternal men in line. This in
cludes both white and colored
orders. The manager asks that
those organizations that intend
ticipating in the parade to let
him know at their earliest con-
venience. The details of the pa.
rade will be published later in
the month, so that each order
will know JUST where and on
what street they must form, and
at what point they will join the
parade. So you fraternal orders,
get busy and cooperate and
show your colors."

new LIGHTS FOR CITY
Town Commissioners Tues
day Night Made New Con-
tract For Better Street
Lighting. Tax Levy Made.

At the regular meeting of the
town commissioners Tuesday
night, w. L. Scales was reelected
clerk and treasurer. S. E. Gov.
lngton was reelected Chief OF
Police, as was also E. E. Hamer
as policeman; Hamer's salary
was increased from SIS to $85
per month.
The commissioners present
were ]. L. Everett, w. M. Hale,
L. D. McPhail, and Mayor Nc
Nair. Commissioners E. B. Lilies
and Geo. P. Entwistle were not
present.
the tax levy for the new tax
year was made, this to be the
same as the levy for the past
year-$l.45 on the hundred dol
lars, and $3.75 on the poll. The
$l,45 is divided as follows: Sink
ing Fund 55c, Schools 45c, Gen.
eral Expenses 45c, total $1.45.
A most important matter
handled was the signing of a
contract with the Yadkin River
Power Co., through c. E. Eyer
ton, for lighting for the next ten
years. The present lighting
system of arc lights was install
ed some II years ago, and have
long since served its day. The
new contract calls for the install
lation within a month of a new
and most modern system, replac-
ing the old fluttering arc lights
with large power gass-filled
Tungsten lamps. 600 candle
lights are to be installed in place
of the old arc lights from the,
Seaboard depot to the Method
ist church, including cross streets.
This will increase the lighting
power by over two-thirds. The
balance of the residential lights
will pc increased to 400 candle
power, and where there are 81
candle power lights the new con-
tract calls for 100 candle power.
The installation of this new sys-
tenn will not cost the city but $4
extra per month. The present
cost of the arc lights is $275 per
month, whereas the new and
vastly brighter lights $279. The
Yadkin River company pays the
cost of installation etc.
By this new lighting system
Rockingham will be probably the
best lighted town in the State.
The system is new, and the COM
pany is willing to install it in
order that the system here
might be shown as a sample for
other towns later to pattern af-
ter.
Mr.. Egerton expects to have
the new lights in by the first
week in July.

GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR ALL
English People Have Many ldeas
Which II Would Be Well for
Americans to Copy.

One of the most popular forms Of
food in England IL cheese. This sup
plies a highly concentrated protein
food which, when properly ripened and
masticated, Is usually well assimilated.
Not only does this food contain large
percentage Of protein, but 1t also con-
tains fat and mineral salts. When
combined with bread, which is a carbo-
hydrate food, cheese makes an ideal
combination, supplying as 1t does all
the elements necessary for nourish-
ment-protein, fat, carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread is a very popular
form Of food in England and 1t is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco
nomical food, 1t Is eaten to larger
extent by the laboripg classes, who,
owing to the sort Of work they do, re-
quire a good tissue builder at q mod
crate price.
1t Is well to remember that part Of
the health of the English race is due
to the fact that the English life is an
outdoor life, and 1t is very good
thing for us TO profit by this and Gull
tivate at all times. In ourselves and in
our children, the habit of getting out
doors as much as possible.

LEIGH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures
Habits Can ForeteiI Changes
That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can
be made by placing leech in a glass
Jar of water.
If the weather Is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless at the bot
tom Of the Jar, and rolled together
in a spiral form. If 1t is to rain,
either before or after noon, 1t will be
found to have crept up to the top of
its lodging, where 1t will remain till
the weather Is settled.
If we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gallops through his limpid
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till it begins to blow
hard.
If remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed. the leech, for
some days before, lodges almost con-
tinually without water, and gives it
self up to violent throes and convul-
sive-like motions. In frost, as in clear
summer weather, 1t lies constantly at
the bottom; and in snow, as in rainy
weather, it pitches its dwelling on the
very mouth of the Jar.

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
SantaIi Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
Up Money Before He Can AS
pire to a Wife.

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay a
sum of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, in adj
dition, they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali Indians hold widows
in less regard than unmarried females
is because they assert that In the
next world man and wife are reunited,
hence widow who marries again is
only "lent" to her second husband
When a young man courts girl who
does not favor his suit, he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
In red paint, he goes in search of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. Then he may claim her as
his wife.

Utah Senator, After Conferences With
President, Declares Drastic Steps
Are Considered.~ Flag Insulted
Near Tampico.

WashingtOn.-After several confer
ences with the president and state de-
partment officials, Senator w. FL. King
of Utah Saturday stated that the Mex
lean situation is goif g to be dealt with
in manner that Will fully protect the
rights of America rs, both as to their
lives and their property. Exactly what
the new policy of the administration
is to be, Senator King was not at
liberty to disclose, but the inference
was drawn from his remarks that as
soon as the German treaty Is ratified,
or possibly sooner strong demands
will be made upon Carranza to guar
everywhere in Mexico, the demand to
cover also American property rights
in that country.
If satisfactory assurance followed
by satisfactory performance is not
promptly forthcoming, it would seem
to be the purpose of the administration
to resort to military means of per-
suading Carranza that American
rights can no longer be disregarded
in his country.
What form of military move would
be resorted to in such event, is appar,
emily not yet fully determined.
The state department is working on
its reply to Senator Kings resolution
calling for full information regarding
past depredations against Americans
and American property in Mexico, the
report being delayed, it is explained, by
the mass of data that is being assem-
bled. The foreign relations committee
is standing back of Senator King in his
effort to get full statement of Mex
lean outrages against Americans, with
view to bringing about speedy and
fair settlement of all American claims
against the Mexican government.
