visit Virginia this year. and for the
particular purpose OF preventing re-
currence of that atilction, its entire

No one knows whether Influenza will
be scourgc this year, as IL was last.
The United States Public Health Ser.
vice, the Virginia Health Department
and the health departments of the cities
are making no prediction, but II history
is to repeat itself there may be second
visitation.
The health authorities are propa-
eating rules which give all the in
formation that they have. They know
that the disease is carried In the secre-
tions of the mouth and nose and the
transference OF these secretions cause
the spread of the disease. The Tuber-
culosis Association, in order TO make
these rules popular. is Offering three
sets OF prizes-onc for the primary
grades, one for the grammar grades
and one for the high schools-for the
best rhymes in each class Of not more
than eight words embodying the
teaching OF the two rules, which are:
Whenever you cough or sneeze, bow
your head or put a handkerchief over
your mouth and nose.
Don't put in your mouth fingers
pencils or anything else that does not
belong there. nor use a common drink

SOUTH CAROLYN RESPONDS
TO CALI. OF LENOIR

Hickory, oct. 2..-Interest in the
big campaign for endowment of $780,
600 % for Lenoir College increases
and enthusiasm grows as reports come
in 70 Campaign Headquarters. The
North Carolina congregations are Ger
tainly going to do their part. and
handsomely. There is no fear but
portionmentS. but will do far better.
Encouraging news also comes from
the conference in South Carolina and
from the conference in Virginia. IN
addition to the good report made by
the Rev. 9. W. Aderholdt who recent
IL visited South Carolina. one OF the
posters writes this morning that he
can count on his congregations to
raise their full apportiontnents While
South Carolina is further removed
from the college, their loyalty is evil
dent and it is believed they will raise
their full quota in this campaign.
From Virginia Mr.. George wires
that two congregations with whom he
had worked Sunday and Monday had
completed their canvasses and had
doubled their apportionments. Mr..
George expects to remain in Virginia
the greater part Of the week. The
Rev. O. w. Aderholdt is also doing
wood work in Virginia. With the ore
paration that had already been made
by Rev. NJ. l.. Pence Of Virginia. and
with the active assistance Of Rev.
Pence throughout the Virginia con-
ference, the campaign Office grows in
it's confidence that Virginia also will
80 cover the Top" 10y q large percent
age.
These reports FROM Virginia and
South Carolina are most encouraging
for being further removed from the
college. the enthusiasm could not have
been expected to he quite so great
among them. yet their loyalty and
generosity are apparent and campaign
workers expect great things from
them.

THE HIGH COST OF LOAFTNG.

1t is the nigh cost Of loafing rather
than the high cost OF living that
troubles America today. this in the
opinion expressed IN u recent issued
of the Corn Exchange ti2e monthly
magazine OF the Corn Exchange Ma
tional Board OF Philadelphia. The
paper says that the country IS pro
ducing less Per i2ou". per man. tAan
before the war although t:?e rate OF
consumption IS greater. This being
true. prices continue 70 advance and
further advances may be expected
until an economic balance is affected
between prod Uc.ion and consumption.
The solution Of tiae problem as in
dicated by President Wilson, Governor
Harding, o. the Federal Reserve
Board, ana others, is 70 increase pro-
duction and reduce expenditures.
Investigation by large nanufac-
turing plant OF Philadelphia says
Corn EXCHANGE recently showed
that under identical circumstances
the production per man per hour was
one half more before The war al
though wages have been doubled.
Another Investigation which covered
several states anc which usas reported

the average wage Der Iaan increased

This announcement, which OF course

'verted. In other words, by waiting
} until after November Is and Decem-

lose six months interest at one-fourth

Of the Second Liberty Loan carried
interest at the rate OF 1 per cent.
Holders Of, the First Liberty Loan
were therefore allowed to convert
their 3 1-2 per cent bonds into 4 per

erty Loan Converted. A great many
subscribers took advantage Of this
offer. Now those who did so and all
holders Of bonds OF the Second Loan
NAV again increase their interest re-
turn by converting their holdings into
IL per cent bonds. this being the
interest rate Of the Third and Fourth
Liberty Loans.
