A BIG BIRTHDAY EVENT FITTING
LY CELEBRATED.

The Goth birthday celebration last
Saturday added another red letter
day to Oak Hill neighbor and will
long be remembered by many as a
day we'll spent About II o'clock in
the forenoon the friends Of Mrs. Jane
AIbertson, widow of the late Thomas
AlbertsCn, began coming from all di-
rections, some in cars, some in
buggies, a1d some pedestrians; the
writer being one of the number The
crowd continued to come until there
were. over 100 present. After greet
ing Mrs, Albertson and one another,
the men erected large table under
the large sugar NAPLES which adorn
her home place. until all the lumber
IN sight was exhausted When the wo-
men began to unfold their spread and
had laden the table until it fairly
tTembled under the burdens. It almost
booked like there was going to have
to be more lumber ordered. And the
goodies that table contained! We are
not able to enumerate then-a1l kinds
OF meats, pies, cakes, canned goods,
pickles Of every description, bread in
every form Of which -four is made.
The remark was made by one of the
crowd that it was demonstrative of
What the old North State can do when
she tries.
When dinner was ready, in the alb
Sence Of Rev. G. P. Goode, the writer
was asked to conduct devotional ex-
erclses. All present did justice to the
occasion, but not until the sick in the
heighborhood were remembered did
any one partake of the sumptuous
feast. !
And after dinner seeing the ladies'
taxing up what was, left it reminded
us OF the feeding of the multitude.
Among those present were four chill !
oren' eleven grandchildren and six
great grandchildren.

Announcement of the Books for
Everybody" Movement
Brings Letter Flood. ).
INFORMATIVE WORKS SOUGHT
Requests for Reading Matter Range
From Volume on Drainage to
Collins "Book of the 8
Stars" -

The announcement of the entrance
OF the American Library Association
upon the Books for Everybody" move
ment and Still later news accounts of
the activities Of the organization along
these lines resulted in a widespread
appeal from residents of the rural dis
tricts Of the country for books on farm
ing. Whether the American farmer is
simply evidencing his ambition to- do
a good job better or whether the better
crops of his neighbor, who has attend
ed an agricultural college or school, has
spurred him on is a matter difficult to
determine. But the fact remains the
farmer is asking for books. The great
majority Of American farmers are Ell
ther without libraries and book service
or they are inadequately served.
One of the points which the Ameri-
can Library Association in its Books
for Everybody" movement is strongly
urging is the extension of the county
library system in states where enabling
acts have been passed-some twenty
one in number-and the proper legisla-
ton in others which have not yet tax
en- the step. The system, with it's CEN
trail library and radiattng lines to sta
tions in the remotest sections of the
county, assures good books to every
man, woman and child who cares to
reach out a hand and grasp one.
Letters Show Need of Service.
The American Library Association is
not giving it's entire attention to the
urban dweller, nor is it neglecting the
centers of population for the rural dis
tricts and communities. 1t is, however
unquestionably eager to create steady
flow of Informative reading to rural
America. That the need for such serv-s
ice exists and that it is anxiously |
sought is evidenced in every letter of |
this nature received by state library
commissions and by the A. L. A. A few
excerpts have been selected because
they seem to express most truly the
needs Of thousands Of others.
When Lydia Carlson, whose farm
is beyond Mason, Wis, asked for copies
of "ProGuctive Farm Crops" "Pro-
ductive Vegetable Growing and ''Prin-.ii
ciples of the Practice Of Poultry Rails
ing' she echoed the book needs of her
neghbors Then she revealed the fact
that her eyes are not always in the
burrows by asking for copy of Col
Inns Book OF the Stars"
What Others Desired.
There was a pressing need behind
the letter from James Dunn, who lives
ten miles from Convent, La, the rear-
est town, which, has population of
only 500 people. He asked for a copy
Of practical Farm Drainage" The
task of keeping his acres dry was be-
yond him. Walter Williams of Ossep,
wis, wanted to know if he could make
fuel alcohol from frozen potatoes and
spoiled fruits. and if he could, were
there any books on the subject.

IAL CONTEST.
Roren withdfaws From Race f

Boren WitndfaWs From Race for
County Board-Fous1ee Enters.
The last hours Saturday for filing
| candidates. for county offices brought
two surprises. John l.. King gave
formal notice to Chairman Thos. C.
Hoyle Of the county board of elections
that he will enter the contest with I
E. Mendenha1l for the democratic
nomination for state senator, and w.
G. Boren withdrew his name as can
(didate for reelection as a member of
tie board o. county commissioners.
Soon after Mr., Boren's withdrawal
Capt. J. Giles Feushee filed notice
that he viii run for a place on the
county board 40
Mr.. King is well known to most of
the voters of Guilford county. He
has represented Guilford in the upper
house of the general assembly before,
and was we'll known as one of the
most active members of that body.
He has also been mayor of Green's
5oro and a member of the aldermanic
board in years gone by. Also, he is
man of large affairs, having made
quite a success in a business way.
His opponent, Mr.! Mendenha1l, is
veil known High Point citizen and
lis supporters are already claiming
victory for him.
Mr.. Boren, who drew out of the
commissioners contest Saturday, has
f. some time past expressed de-
sire to retire from the board He has
taken leading part in directing the
affairs of the county, being chairman
Of the body in which he held mem
bership, and his friends were very
urgent that he offer again. His cam
didacy for reelection was filed by
Cras. A. Hines, chairman of the coun-
ty democratic eecutivce committee.
He leaves the field to Mr. Foushee,
D. r. Huffines and W. c. Jones. There
are two places on the, board to be
filed. Mr.. Jones, who has been oc-
cupying one of them, is seeking an
other term. All three candidates are
well known and popular and an in
teresting4 contest may develop be-
tween them.
: The republican party, in looking
over it's ticket, found that it had no
candidate for coroner, and the name
Of J. w. Causey was fled for that po-
sition

Y, W. c. A. CAMPAIGN GOES
GREATLY OVER THE TOP.
High Point Did Well by the Y. w. c.
A. Drive Subscribing Over the
$4,000 Asked.

It was stated by Miss Deitz thai
there are a number OF cards out and
she believes that several hundred dol
lars will be, added to the list when the
final report is made. It was not un.
til yesterday that many of the can.
vassers got down to business, they
being detained because of unavoida-
BILE reasons.
Mach credit should be given the
business girls of High Point for the
determined spirit in which they went
to the tasks of raising the money to
build an institution that will mean SO
much to every woman of the Furni-
ture City. She said that approx
mately $4,000 was either collected or
noted by the business girls of the city.
. Up until noon Saturday all the in
dustrial girls Of the city had not SUBJ
mitted their report. However, it is
expected that later a neat sum will
have been turned in By. the ladies who
work in the factories eff High Point.
Miss Deitz expressed great satisfac-
ton over the cooperation received
from many High Point citizens since
the campaign was launched on Tues
dav. A majority Of the business mec
and citizens in general. she said hal
responded to the call and had given
literally to the cause. However, there
are number of people. it is said, who
have not contributed, and who are
able fHanciallv. to do So Miss Deitz
made the point that it is the duty of
those people to do so Immediately, be-
carse every dollar that can be secured
is needed and needed badly. It is the
intention of those waging the drive to
bring tho amount in subscriptions to
$4,000 is possible.
It is the ger aral e.inio7s that the
establishment of the..Y-V, c. a in.
5I,rs,- FI:,r Point VII pave the wav fer
=, NJ. G. A. That the girls who have
even their time and effort to making
the Y. M. C. A reality has been
practically assured. 1t is probable
that during the. next lew days. the
men will decide something definite
with regards to the other "Y.''

American Library Association
Serves Ten Thousand Men
in Nations Hospitals.
EFFORTS BRING RESULTS.
Works on Vocational Training circu.
lated Among Men Who Must Take
: Up New caIlings Because of
Il Their Injuries.

Hospital library service maintained
during the war was credited with great
value in aiding in the recovery of many
sick and disabled men.
There are still in our hospitals more
than 10000 former service men. OF
these nearly 5000 are in Public Health
Service hospitals, the remainder in
civilian hospitals. Books, magazines
and newspapers are sent to these men
from the American Library Associa-
ton. In the larger hospitals, contain
ing over 800 patients, special librarians
are placed To the smaller hospitals,
through the cooperation of many pub
lie libraries, library visitors are sent
to visit the wards once or twice week
and learn the book needs of the pa
tientS.
A special effort is made to supply to
ex-service men in hospitals the books
in demand as a result of the training
given by the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education.
More Books for Blind.
AAC ~. <1.S III SO@OpCAdlAO Will
other agencies already interested in
work for the blind, is printing books
in the new Braille type. Because of
the newnesS of the revised Braille
adopted for teaching to the American
war blind, literature printed in it is
limited to Fewer than 200 books
Though the total number of blinded
soldiers is small, their need of books
is great, and the tmagic of print" can
do much to restore hope and useful
ness to them.
NOT only for former service men who
are sick Or disabled is the association
working. The value of books proved
so great TO men in camps that efforts
are still being made to connect dis
charged soldiers and sailors with libra
ries wherever they may be. Hundreds
of letters have reached A. L. A. head
quarters from former service men tell
ing of the lack Of library facilities in !
particular localities to which those |
men have returned.
Direct Service Provided.
In many cases there is state libra
ry cemenission or nearby library to
which a man can be referred for the
books he needs, but if there is no such
through which he can be
served, books for almost any. serious
may be borrowed directly
from the A. Z. A. War Service, "a West
Thirty ninth street, New York city.
The only expense in connection with
these ,loans is prepayment Of return
postage on books borrowed.

 However, the celebration project has not died, according to M.

The Revival is Meeting
 With Great Success

The revival meetings which are be- ing conducted at the new Baptist church in this city are getting fairly under way, and the first few days of marking the meeting as a great suc- cess, Dr. Beasley who is conducting the preaching services did not arrive until Tuesday, being detained by af- fairs beyond his control. Until his arrival Rev. Wales, the pastor, con ducted the preaching with most effec- tive results. Prof Cox was on hand, however, and was getting fine results from the large choir, which is furnish ing some very inspiring gospel music. Prof. Cox is a fine singer and conduc- tor, Music is a very essential part in any service, and especially in a service such as this. Dr. Beasley is a strong man. He is preaching a series of ser mons that are being heard and en- joyed with profit by large congraga- tion
 The results of the meeting so far have been partially sumarized Among the visible results are twelve addi- tions to the church, most of them by baptism The public generally has a most cordial invitation to attend. Ser vices g a. m, and D. m.
