SHOWERS AND WARMER
is WELCOME FORECAST

If the weather forecast issued to-
day, predicting Showers and warmer
tonight and Sunday, materialize it
will be welcomed by Faulkner county
farmers. With the exception of .o6
inch of precipitation on April Is, no
rain has occurred here since April
8, and the soil is becoming too dry
and hard in many places for the ger
mination of seed corn and cotton. The
weather for the past several days has
been too cool for planted crops.
In the river bottom lands most of
the cotton has been planted and a
warm rain would be of benefit in
sprouting the seed. In the uplands
farmers are beginning to plant cot
ton and moisture and warmth are
also needed in those districts.

mon was preached to the children
in the Gay so they could under
stand it. On account of the far

of their crops they were unable
to come in the afternoon, but the
church wa always filled at night.
We had a splendid meeting TAX
ing 43 new members into the

MOTION PICTURE JUBILEE
Coming to Roanoke Rapids Week Of
October "a, Pictures Shown Every
Evening in the School Auditorium.

The Community Motion Picture
Jubilee, a department of the
Community Motion Picture Bu-
reau of New York, which is the
largest non-theatrical Motion
Picture Organization in the world
has been invited to spend the en-
tire week of October "a, in this
community. The purpose of this
jubilee is to enable the Bureau
to give a practical demonstration
of their idea to show US how to
work out a simple plan that will
establish a real community Gen.
ter in our high school auditorium.
There will be six different enter
tainments provided during the
week, the first coming Monday
night, October rs and the others
following according to a schedule
to be announced later. Only the
very best pictures will be shown.
1t costs US something to bring this
jubilee to our town for the week
and to Offset this expense, season
tickets for the entire week will
be sold. The price of such tick
cts will be 81 for adults. All
children in the school will be ad-
for SOC for the program
of the entire week. The public
should keep this jubilee in mind.
1t is less than three weeks away.
The management of the school
thinks that an unusual opportun-
ity is being offered to the people
of the community to see good
clean wholesome pictures at a
very low cost. This week the
Community Motion Picture Bu-
reau is showing the same pic
lures in Gastonia. Next week
they will be shown in Salisbury
and the following week in DAN
vile, Virginia. Some of the
very best towns in the state have
had this jubilee and Roanoke
Rapids is fortunate in being
placed on the circuit with other
good towns.

one application. On next Mon
day night, Oct. II, they will con-

cording to the way the applica-
tions are coming in on every

RALPH BINGHAM, NOTED HUMORlST,
"OPENS 192O.21 LYCEUM PROGRAM

Ralph Bingham, Americas
foremost platform humorist,
opened the 1920-21 Lyceum
Course Monday night in true
Bingham style.
The auditorium of the Central
school building was packed and
if any one got away without sew
eral hearty laughs, he is more or
less laugh proof. Perhaps Mr..
BiLgham's most pleasing mum.
bers were his Ford jokes the
negro dialogue and his violin
numbers. Mr.. Bingham played
both upon and with the violin,
and in each performance he won
liberal applause from his audi
ence.
His program was not entirely
humorous, a few minutes were
given over to the serious prob
lens our country has before it
today, and warned his audience
especially Of the danger of rad
icalism and bolshevism.
The athletic club of the High
School have the management of
the Lyceum course this year and
indications are that their season
will be an auspicious one.

DR.. Poteat's address was in

doing so. Certainly every one

brilliant young professor, who

aged to inject quite much of it
in his opening remarks.
At the close of DR.. Poteat's
address members of the class
served cake and cream.
After the refreshments and
much to the surprise of many
present another treat was in
store, for DR.. Poteat, who is cas-
lily one of the states most accom-
plished musicians, graciously
agreed to render a few selections
on the organ. To say that this
part of the program was greatly
appreciated and enjoyed is put
ting it mildly.
The teacher of the class, Mr..
R. l.. Towe, stated in the early
part of the program, that this
was the first of many such even
ings planned by the class. Sure
ly if the remainder are as happy
and successful as this one proved
to be, much good will be derived
therefrom.

ELECTRIC SIGNAL SOON TO BE
PLACED AT ROANOKE JUNCTION

/

device to protect the traffic from
the dangerous crossing at Roa.
noke Junction. The Herald was
aided in this proposition by sew.
eral citizens of the community,
some of whom made personal
calls on the Corporation Commits
sion, but for the last year The
Herald carried on the fight single
handed.
Despite the fact that the Sea-
board displays in considerable
numbers Safety First" signs on
their buildings they fought Bit
terly and to the very last ditch
our efforts to have this crossing
made safe, and in the meantime
their negligence cost the life Of
one of our citinens and destroyed
personal property in the amount
of about 100000. Also many
horrible accidents were narrowly
avoided.
1t was our opinion that gates
should be placed at this crossing,
but our Corporation Commission,
the sole authority in this matter
compromised with the Seaboard
and ordered them (some three
timesD to place an electrical sig
nal at the crossing.
Of course we are glad to get
any kind of safety device at this
point. We feel that the electrical
sigal will be much better than no
signal or warning at all, but as
sure our fellow citizens that if
the electrical signal proves un-
practical we shall renew our
fight for gates.
