was defeated in its attempt to
have the sanitary laws enforced
in the dairies and markets.
Mrs. johnson told of Raleigh
having the highest rate of infant
mortality of any town in the
state, of their investigation into
the sanitary conditions, of pre-
senting their case to the city
fathers in form Of photographs,
conditions that one would hardly
believe. The Council put on a
food inspector and were forced
to fire him, because the dairymen,
butchers and grocerymen, or
ganized and told the council they
would notbe reelected unless this
inspector was dismissed. Mrs.
johnson pointed outthat, had the
women at that time, had the bal
lot they could have kept the in
spector and the council too with
their votes.
Mrs. Johnson stated that she
did not come to Roanoke Rapids
to ask the women to join any
party, but thai every one should
join some party the same as they
Join the church of their choi:e.
Regarding the League of Ma
tions, Mrs. Johnson felt that il
should not ,lave been made a
political issue, but that since
such was the case, she felt that
the duty of the women to support
the party supporting the League
was clear, insofar as the League
was the best instrument so far
devised to prevent war.
Mrs. Johnson is a splendid
speaker and held the absolute at
tention of her audience for sthe
thirty minutes she addressed
them, winning much applause.
At the close of her address Mr..
AL. Clark conducted question
box and explained the election
and primary laws, the power Of
| the President and Congress, and
many other questions of timely
Importance.

METHODIST LADIES AID
ENTERTAINS TEACHERS
(Reported)

The teachers of Rosemary and
Roanoke Rapids were entertain
ed by the Ladies Aid Society of
the First Methodist Church on
last Friday night in the Sunday
school rooms of the Church.
This informal gathering was
purposed for the meeting Of the
teachers and the Methodist par
ents of the town. The various
pastors of other local congrega-
tions were invited guests. A large
attendance of all expected par.
ties gave to the affair a splendid
initiation even at the opening
hour, eight o'clock. Social inter-
mingling and introductions were
generally indulged and the spirit
of comradry was enthusiastically
fostered throughout the pleasant
hours of the evening.
Interesting instrumental musi-
cal selections were afforded the
occasion by Misses Julia Thomp-
son and Alice Hockaday and vo-
cal renditions exemplary of
peculiar talent and training, by
Mrs. w. 5. Hancock, and Miss
Alice Hockaday received deserved
applause and due appreciation.
An especial touch of lingual va
riety were the French selections
natively sung by Mrs. Vann
White. To each of these the
audience responded with distinct
plaudits.
Ice cream and cake served by
young ladies of the Church, put
an appropriate taste in the
mouths of all and happily pro-
nounced the nearing conclusion
of a delightful social occurrence.
With an outspoken degree of
gratitude toward the women who
had so efficiently and thought
fully arranged the details Of the
event, a hand-shaking was par
ticipated in and farewells for the
night closed an unusual fellow
ship that might be aptly pattern
ed after in the future days.

COMMUNITY MOTION
PICTURE JUBILEE.
Opens Next Monday Night in the High
School Auditorium. Five High Class
Entertaining, Clean, Wholesome Mo-
ton Picture Programs.

AS announced before the Com
munity Motion Picture Jubilee
will be put on in the high schoo
auditorium next week beginning
Monday night. There will be five
programs for paid admission ano
two or more programs given al
II O'Clock in the morning, which
will be opened to the people OF
the community and the older
school children absolutely free.
This week the Jubilee is in
Charlotte. 1t has already been
presented in such towns as Dur
ham, High Point, Gastonia
and Salisbury. The very high
est words of commentator are
received from practically every
place where the pictures have
been shown.
See below what Prof. Marr,
City Superintendent of Schools,
High Point, N. c., says about
this picture.
1t was originally planned to
give six programs but it seems
best to the management to give
five of these programs and two
or three programs in the morn
ing, which will be free. A tic
ket to the five programs can be
bought for 81. All school child
rem will be admitted for SOC. On
account of the difficulty in hand.
ling the film From the Manger
to the Cross" the management
has decided not to present the
picture in the Methodist Church
Sunday night. The first pro-
gram of the Jubilee will come
Monday night the other four
programs will come Wednesday
and Thursday following.
Here is what High Point, N.
c., said about the community
motion picture jubilee.
Prof. W. M. Mari, Superin-
tendent of Schools, High Point,
N. c., in writing of the jubilee,
says in his letter of Sept. 9Oth.
''The pictures were of the high
est order, educational and in
structive in many ways. Aside
from that they were entertaining
to the fullest extent; those child
rem who were present hung on to
the last flicker of the machine,
and yearned for more. | want
to commend to every community
that wonderful picture, My Own
United States 1t should be. pre-
sented to everv high school stu
dent body in the country"
II am looking forward to the
return of the Jubilee during the
coming year. )"

Mrs. Clarence Johnson, Ex-
President OF North Carolina
Federation Of Womans
Clubs, the Speaker.

On Monday night IN the Gen.
tral School Auditoriom, under
the auspices of the Mothers
Club of Roanoke Rapids, the
women of our community held
their first political meeting. The
object of the meeting was to
acquaint the women with their
new responsibilities as voters, and
under the able supervision of
Mrs. w. L. Long the meeting
Was brought to a very successful
conclusion.
The program opened with the
Roanoke Rapids Band playing
the Star Spangled Banner and
as the first strains of the music
filled the auditorium, Miss Alma
Vaughn entered with a large
American flag which she carried
to the center of the stage. The
audience then sang the Star
Spangled Banner, led by Miss
Crisp, musical director of our
school system.
Mrs. W. L. Long, in introduce
ing the speaker of the evening,
Mrs. Clarence Johnson, of Raj
eigh, stated that Mr.. W. l..
Long, who was scheduled to
make the address of the even
ing, had been detained out of
town on business, but that the
Mothers Club had been fortu-
nate in securing Mrs. Johnson
for the occasion. A satisfactory
substitute is rare, but this one
proved to be a happy one indeed,
besides adding to the appropri-
ateness of the occasion, in that
a woman should address the first
political meeting of our women.
Mrs. johnson did not waste
much time with preliminary re-
marks, and took up her subject
of how the women were to meet
their new obligations as voters.
Mrs. Johnson said that woman
suffrage was a thing of the past
and she was happy to say that
the women of nearly every civil
lized nation in the world had the
ballot.
In Mrs. Johnson's opinion the
women will not be a disturbing
element in politics, but will do
their own thinking and bring to
bear all their power, thought and
influence for the good of our
country. She offered as evidence
of this fact the planks submitted
by the women to the recent con-
ventions of the major parties, of
which there were fifteen articles,
Those presented to each conven-
ton meaning practically the
same thing although worded diff
ferently. The Republicans ac-
cepted only six of the articles,
while the Democrats accepted
fourteen and gave as their rea-
son for not accepting thefifteenth
the fact that its adoption would
require a constitutional amend
ment.
Mrs. johnson said the most
important of these articles was
the first calling for an adequate
appropriation for the Children's
Bureau of the Department of
Labor. Mrs. Johnson's argu-
ment for this article was an i'm
pressive plea for the League of
Nations, although she did not
present it as such. She brought
forth the fact that only 80 of all
the funds collected in any form
by the United States were used
to pay for the normal functions
of the government, that 92%
was paid for past and future
wars "a fact that about $50 of
the people fail to realize.
A striking illustration of the
Importance of women voting
was cited by Mrs. Johnson, when
the Women's Club of Raleigh

and painted some awful pictures
about the cotton mills of our
State. Mr.. Parker's statement
might be true about the mills Of
his town, but every mill opera
tive present knows they are not
so in Roanoke Rapids and Rose
mary.
Mr.. Parker is an orator of no
mean ability and made a good
impression on many of his hear
ers regardless of political affilia-
tions. His home is IN Monroe
where he practices law when not
puliticing.

Living Creatures That Are immortal.
