ILLITERACY APPALLING
IN NORTH CAROLINA

Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 16.-Ap-
palling illiteracy in Guilford County
and the State of North Carolina is
revealed in, recent report made by
the Superintendent of Public In
struc ton, statistics for which were
gathered from the draft registrants,
showing that more than 1000 young
men between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty-one years live in Guilford
County alone, all of whom are unable
to write their names. No distinction
is made between white and colored
residents; therefore it is impossible
to determine racial percentages of
llliteracy. County School Superin-
tendent Foust is in reeicpt of list
of the 1000 or more men who failed
to pass the mental test in the draft
Although the test given registrants
was much easier than the one receiv-
ed by them after they got into the
prisngly large percentage failed to
pass, and it is recommended that
these persons, the man power of the
country, shall be induced to attend
adult schools, where they shall be
given simple instruction by the most
approved methods.
Approximately half Of those who
failed to pass the literacy test were
employed in cotton mills; about one
fourth were common labOrcrs, while
another fourth were employed on
farms
Although adult schools will not be
entirely new, their success should be
unprecedented. In the past few
persons have attended night schools
although no aggressive campaign was
made in behalf of education. 1t is
suggested, therefore that friends of
men and women who are unable to
write shall suggest to them the advi-
stability of attending the schools. The
best of teachers would be needed, as
it would require extreme tact to in
terest the older students in their
work. But it can be done, as was
revealed in the army, and North
Carolina is going to do all possible to
remove this stain from its reputation,
according to those interested in the
project.
North Carolina has long been her
aided as the most illterate State in
the Union, but the extent of the back
wardncss in the educational matters
was not brought home to the most
enlightened communitics until the
revelations of the draft test were
made public. 1t then became appar-
ent that this tendency was not con-
fined to the mountain sections but
might be found in the counties con-
tiguous to the most progressive of
cities as is the case in Guilford Coun-
ty, one Of the wealthcst counties in
the State and one that pridcs itself
on its schools and colleges.

DANGERS OF A COLD

THEFTS OF FREIGHT
FROM GOVERNMENT
TOTAL $4,000, 900

Since the United States Government
has been conducting tho railroads
$4,000, 900 worth of freight has
been stolen from cars standing in
terminals or in transit. Tho Govern
ment will have to repay tho shippers
and consignees for these goods. About
$l5,00O,000 of these thefts have oc-
cured in and around New York City
According to officials of the secret
service department of the Railroad
Administration these thefts are car
ried on by organized bands of car
thieves whose work is conducted in
manner that would do credit to a le-
gltimatc business of great magnitude
The goods stolen include everything
from automobiles and machinery to
food. According to secret service
men some of the thieves are en-
ployees of the roads, most of them the
lower grades of railroad laborers of
foreign birth. Most trainmen have
been found honest and in ignorance
of the thcfts. The goods stolen in one
section are shipped or hauled by mo-
tor truck to other cities, where the
selling organization is as complete as
the stealing body, and is disposed Of
in various ways. Many of these
gangs have been broken up, but the
business" is so profitable that other
gangs spring up Immediately to car
ry on the robberies.

PLAY BASEBALL WITH
NEW ARTIFICIAL LIMBS

One thing the Red Cross Depart
ment of Civilian Relief is doing these
days is to see that every crippled SOL
dier or sailor 'gets back into the
game" just as close to his original
self as science can make him-that
is the idea of the Government.
The Government provides for the
fitting, replacing, and keeping in re-
| pair of every artificial limb or appli-
ance required by its crippled fighters,
, and the Red Cross is helping to see
that all who need these things apply
to Uncle Sam for them.
The excellence of these artificial
adjuncts to the human body is re-
markable. Miss Mary Ann Abel of
the Southern Division Headquarters
attended baseball game in Washing
ton recently in which every member
of both teams had lost either leg
or an arm and it was good, close,
hard-fought game of ball.

One of the most erroneous impress
SONS that has got about concerning
the work of the Red Cross Home Ser
vice is that is is restricted to the dis
abled soldier of the United States
Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Army Nurse !;
it doesn't matter in the least. just so
you were in the Service of Uncle Sam,
and became disabled in that service,
the Red Cross will help you to obtain
the Compensation and the hospital
treatment and-if you want 1.-THE
vocational training that the govern
ment offers.
In the Southern Division, for ex-
ample there are six nurses their
health impaired by tuberculosis con-
tracted or developed during their SER
vice. All are now receiving the regu-
lar compensation, in addition to hosp!-
tai treatment.
Any chapter of the Red Cross will
tell you about it;and where and how
to get medical treatment, if you need
it; and the proper money compcnsa-
ton; and the vocational education
if you want it.

FORD GETS SIX CENTS

The libel suit brought by Henry
Ford against the Chicago Tribune for
a million dollars for libel, which has
occupied the attention of the country
for nearly four months, has been end
ed: The jury, after celebrating for
eleven hours, brought in a verdict
giving Mr.. Ford damages in the sum
of six cents.
The suit grew out of an editorial
published in The Tribune in which
Mr.. Ford was called an anarchist, be-
cause he and the Ford motor company
had refused to hold positions open
for employees who entered the army
and because of Mr.. Ford's extremely
pacific attitude at the beginning of
the war.
By the verdict Mr.. Ford claims he
is vindicated, as he did not really care
for any money damages, but wanted
his attitude as an American citizen
justified.
The Tribune also claims a victory,
as the amount of damages was of a
size not calculated to embarrass a
tcn-million-dollar concern.
The trial which resulted in YER
dict of six cents cost $5OO,OOO.

NATIONAL ADVERTISERS ARE
BEGINNING TO AWAKEN
By C. W. Morr;son

- National Advertisers are awaken
ing to the fact that the newspapers
of the country are the best mediums
in which to advertise and reach the
average American in his home in the
most forecful and convincing manner
"A country newspaper has great in
! fiuence with local people many miles
around the town and country in which
it circulatcS. The editor, and all the
staff, live in the neighborhood They
Fnow everybody by their first names
here is a real deep feeling among
the readers Of the paper that it is
''their very own"
They discuss its contents at home
and over the counter at the store
They believe in it. The retail dealer
stocks big shelves with the goods the
\advertiser is creating the local de-
mand for. Houscholdcrs, knowing
their paper is trustworthy, promptly

particular qualities Of new brand

The National Advertisers now rec

the total population of the United
States) are today living in towns
of 5000 and less and on The farI.s.
They read the local newspaper They
think in American terms, they eat;
American foods, they wear American
clothing. They are the buyers Of Il
! great nation and they do business in
the American way-thc National
Advertisers way. Their require
ments fit in with the existing selling
organizations that want to do busi-
ness with Americans.
These sixty million people buy rub
Der boots and patcnt-lcathcrs farm
tractors and tooth paste. They buy
paint for their homes and cement
for their cellars. Seventy per cent,
of the automobiles are sold i'm the

made by the Sixteenth Legislative
Assembly to safeguard public funds.
Competitive bids need not be called
for nor accounts audited before they
are paid, but millions of dollars may
be spent at the within of the Industri-
al Commission without check or safe
guard. These three men are en-
powered to deprive anyone Of their
property upon what may be called
by a jury a just compensation and
sell it to someone else upon easy
terms.
Because they have not honestly
endeavored to carry out the econom-
ic program of the League but made
enormous appropriations which can
be wasted by careless or dishonest
officials and no one held to account.
The manager of the Bank of North
Dakota, which has $25,0OO,000 on
deposit now and may have $75,O0O,-
900 within a short time, is only bond
ed for $4,000.
Because Townley is filling all pub
lie Offices with imported socialists,
and he has always employed social
lists as organizers and officers Of the
North Dakota League, If socialists
could be found to fill such positions.
He has now a 100000 slush fund
to advertise his socialistic state of
North Dakota and import socialists
to perpetuate his control. He will
have vast industries and great build
ing projects upon which to employ
them. They can secure homes under
the Home Builders Act. He plans
to try out the socialistic state in

WHY TAX COMMISSIONER f. e.
PACKARD IS OPPOSED TO THE
TOWNLEY ADMINISTRATION.

Because the finances of the State
are in desperate plight. Ordinarily
at this time Of the year there is a
s350,000 or 100000 cash balance
in the general fund and all bills
paid. Now the Treasury is empty
with from s350,000 to $500, 900 un-
paid bills on hand.
Because the legislature, dominated
by him, added $50 new employees to
the state pay roll at a cost to the
people Of s1,250,000 annually.
Because his legislature increased
the appropriations and levies from
$4,22s,o54 to s12,964,2s5, or 203
per cent.
Because as the result of the tax
measures passed, the tax on the av-
Ierage quarter section of land in North
Dakota has been raised from $35.O7
to $500.
Because he is attempting to secure
control of the public schools for the
purpose of teaching socialism.
Because the bank is permitted, as
a mere matter Of bookkeeping, to

sumers' Store or to establish a glue
factory or any other enterprise in
which the Industrial Commission may
see fit to engage.

WHY MISS NELSON IS AGAINST
THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRA.
TION BILL.

Because it makes an elective state
officer subject to the direction of an
|appointive board in the exercise of
his constitutional duties.
Because it deprives the people Of
direct control Of their schools. The
State Superintendent, who is elected
by the people, is responsive to their
demands, but an appointlve board
will be responsible only to the per-
son by whom it is appointed. There
can be no true democracy without
schools which are responsive to pub
lie opinion, and they can only be re-
%sponsive to public opinion through
an elective superintendent.
Because the a is a radical
departure from, not only the expert
ence Of North Dakota, but of the
States generally. 1t is untried, and
there is no assurance that it will not
result in disaster to the schools.
Change should be the result of ex-
perience and not of some ready-made
scheme.
Because it was hurriedly passed
at the dictation of politicians. Suf-
fcient attention was not given to the
details of the measure by persons of
recognized qualifications. The re-
suit is that the measure in incom-
plete, unavoidable and undesirable.
Because it is a spite measure. In
1917 Gov. Frazier recommended in
creased powers for the State Super
%intendent. AS late as July 1918, N.
c. Macdonald, then the State Super
intendent, recommended in his BIZ
ennial Report greatly increased pow
ers for the State Superintendent.
Up until the time of my election the
administration had thought of moth
ing but greatly extending the powers
Of the State Superintendent. AS soon
as I was elected it determined to pre-
vent my taing the Office if possible,
failing in that to strip me of all
power. I appealed to the Supreme
Court to secure the Office, and am
now defending my rights in the court
Senate Bill 134 is purely a spite mea-
sure.
Because the Board of Administra.
ton bill brings under the supervision
of n board three kinds of insti-
tutions of totally different nature
the penal institutions, the charitable
institutions, the educational institu.
lions, each of which should be di.
rected by a board more or less expert
and requiring qualifications that
would not be practical to place in
one board.
And finally 1 am opposed to this
system Of school administration be.
cause it has never been advocated o,
demanded by the educators or the
people of North Dakota but is the
work of a defeated candidate for CT.
