President FL Paso Housewives League
The Housewives league is one OF
the youngest women's organizations in
FL Paso. being not yet two years old
Organized in May, 1917. just two
months after America cast in her lot
with the Allies. the obvious work Of
this club. composed largely OF house
wives. was food conservation
The food administration being or
ganiZed about this time. the league
Immediately pledged M Hoover its
support and heartiest cooperation. re-
ceivinE a letter from the food admin
istration thanking the league for be-
ing one OF the first bodies OF women
TO answer his appeal 10 the American
women 20 enlist in the food army.

The Housewives league endorses
the movement 10 buy home products
and looks back with pardonable pride
TO the Made in Fl Paso" exhibit, held
by them in the hotel Paso del NOrte.
in October. 1917. when thousands OF
FL Pasoaus realized for the first time
the great possibilities and opportuni-
ties this city has.
As women spend 20 per cent OF the
family income Il viii be readily seen
that no movement to buy made at

ing the aid and cooperation OF the
housewives. and chambers Of COM
merce, the country over. are not over
looking this important fact and are
realizing that "a word to the wives
is wise"
Usefulness Not Ended With War.
II must not be supposed. because the
work OF the league has been largely
war work. that the ending OF the war
makes the leagues activities no longer
needed On the contrary. housewives
viii find even more serious problems
facing them in the period OF readjust-
ment.
The National Housewives league
has been in existence many years and
has been q potent factor IN securing
proper food legislation and the enact

BOYS BEEF CONTEST.

Dear readers::--Knowing that the
years from 1918 are the most crit
lcal in a boys life, we wish to or
eanize the ambitious, energetic and
anxious boys into the Boys Baby.
Beef Feeding Contest.
The plan is this: such boys to
secure a calf from 8-14, pasture it.
feed it as the proper authorities see
ut and market it in cooperation
with the other members through the
help of County Demonstration; this
will teach the whole County what
organization means in remunera-
ton, as well as in fitting Beef for
the best market and in marketing
ourselves and in keeping records.
We favor this because of the sad
neglect in feeding. in selecting prop
er feeding animals and because we
want the searching mind of this
important period in a boys life to
ind its very best self.
Let the parents or guardians of
such boys encourage these dear ones
to join with their whole being.
Let every boy have a chance. If
there be one unable to get such a
calf. let him see the County Agent.
When the boys and their legal
advisors have thought this out let
us urge the boys to send their names
and addresses, together with aees

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
AT A. & f. COLLEGE

The Executive Committee of the
Board or Trustees of the State COL
lege met at the College on Wednes-
day, March 26th. The Committee
provided for some very important
in the work of the Col-
lege.
Among other important steps TAX
en- was to provide for the erection
of an Agricultural Extension Build
ing, to cost 100000, where the ex-
tension forces of the College may
carry on their work. 1t will also
provide home for the Experiment
Station forces. Both of these i'm
p0rtant agencies receive much of
their support from the United States
Treasury. either directly from the
Treasury, or as an Offset from the
State Treasury in accordance with
the Smith-Lever law. The amount,
something like $24O,000 is appro-
priated annually to be administered
by the College.
The Executive Committee also
appropriated $4,000 to be used
during the next two years for ad-
ditional equipment in the Textile
School.
Two additional departments were
provided for, a chair of highway
engineering and a chair of farm
mechanics. The demand for high
way engineers due to recent nation.
al legislationis unprecedented. State
College will provide every facility
for training North Carolina young
men for this important work. The
The chair of farm mechanics is also
intended to. meet one of the urgent
needs of the time. The course will
include thorough instruction in
motors, tractors, labor saving ma.
chinery, farm and home conven'
fences, and many other branche:

to make his home comfortable anC

DAVID GRIGBLE.

David Coleman Gribble, son Of
Rufus and Martha Ann Gribble was
born April 10, 1893, and crossed
over the great divide February %.
1919. His passing has left us sad
and lonely. but also with hope and
JOY.
David professed salvation. a par.
ticularly bright and happy CONVEX
sion, in April, 1914, and joined Wes-
leyana Methodist Church. The pride
of his family. generous and kind, he
was a favorite with young and old
alike. The children cried when he
was called to the service, and sobbed,
heart-broken. around his bier on the
funeral day-he was their friend,
and they loved him.
On June oath, last, David started
for Camp Jackson, telling his sister
who bade him goodbye last that he
was going to get back close to the
Lord and live better than ever. He
never returned. even on furloush.
Never strong in health, he became
ill and was in the hospital from
January is to the day of his death.
His sister Carrie-as loyal sister
as ever was-reached his bedside
on Friday before he died, and pray
ed and watched with him constantly
to the end. The last time he recoe-
nized her he told her, Il am going
home" To the chaplains and others
who inquired how he was, as the
angel of death hovered near, he re-
piled, Il am all right
With breaking heart the faithful
sister brought the body home, where
it was laid to rest in the WesIeyana
cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. A. Cook
and the pastor, Rev. John Cline.
There Was great concourse of
relatives and friends in attendance,
so great that the church would
not contain half; so the services
were held in the churchyard. The
grief of the loved ones was piteous;
his sister, whose errand of love ha,i
seemingly, but not really been il
vain. was almost inconsolable.
David has just crossed over i''c
river before us. He leaves, best. s
father and mother. five sisters aid
one brother. and large circle of
relatives and friends who mourn his
absence. May our Blessed Lord
bring them all Home to meet him
in Glory; and may the splendid
young soldiers, who acted as pail
bearers and helpers in the funeral
service, be ready when the angelic
bugler calls assembly for them toel
Press onward then, tho foes may
frown,
While mercy's gate is open;
Accept the Gloss, and win the crown,
Loves everlasting token.
Beyond the rivers brink we'll lay
The cross tina, here is given
| And bear the crown of life away,
: And love him more in Heaven"
