PIG CLUB MEMBERS AWARDED
....ss ..-ss FIFTY DOLLARS

.WestlR e tlRa!eigh.;N: G Jan: AT
aIrecent round-up...:of pig club
activities in Halifax county,
County Agent F. G. Tarbox, Jr..
reports 'thatsthe Scotland Neck
Bank awarded $50Gin prize
money to the Scotland Neck Pig
Club members. This bank also
financed the club under the end
less chain system.
The first prize Of $40 for the
best individual pig was won by
Frank Wethersbee, of Hobgood,
while that of S. for the second
best individual pig was won by
Donald Holiday, of Dawson
community.
Cash prizes to the amount Of
$25 were given for the best re-
cord book kept by any individual
member to June Il, 1919. The
first prize of $40 for the best
kept book was also won by DON
aid Holiday.
Young Holiday is Is years of
age and a member of the Scot
land Neck Pig Club. He is ore
of the twin brothers, who is very
fortunate in having a father
deeply interested in their educa-
ton and welfere.
Duringthe 21O days feeding
period, Donald's pig made an
actual gain Of 165 pounds; weigh.
ing 200 pounds at the end of the
contest. The pig cared for by
Dennis, his twin brother, showed
a gain of ITO lbs. during the
same time.
Both of these boys worked to-
gether. Their record books are
very neat and clean. giving ini-
tial and monthly weights, month
ly gains. the amount and variety
of feeds during each period. and
both stories in their records,
which are necessarily similar,
are neatly written.
While it would have been i'm
possible for these boys to accom-
plished what they did without
the highly commedablc coopera-
tion of their father, the county
agent and the bank; yet, with
all of these, it would still have
been impossible without certain
qualities mentioned by Donald in
his record book, which are as
follows:
What. | think it takes to make
a good pig club member is a wide
awake boy that will stick to what
he says, and do what he says:
one that will take care Of his pig
and keep a good record of what
he gives it and what he does to
make a good pig.
"A boy that likes to raise pigs
will be sure to make a good pig
club member.

SHOULD RATIFY
AMEND DMENT

When the General Assembly
: of North Carolina convenes in
special session next year il
should promptly ratify the An.
thony Amendmentto to the Fedora
Constitution comforting the right
of suffrage on the women Of
this state.
In peace and in war the wom-
en- Of North Carolina have al
ways done their full duty, and
they have earned the right to
vote for the protection of their
own interests and the promotion
of their material welfare.
If taxation, without represen-
tStion was tyranny in the pre-.
Revolutionary period it is tenfold
more tyrannous to tax women
today without allowing them
any voice or representation in
the framing Of the laws for the
world has made more progress
since the outbreak Of the war
than it had hitherto made in a
century. 1t is beginning to do
justice to women.
A new day has dawned for the
whole world and no man or set of
men can stop or check the great
march toward diviner civili-
zation".
With the right of suffrage con
ferred on the women there will
be ushered in a day of ''sweeter
manners, purer laws.
Purity in Palitics" would not
then be an 'irridescent dream"
as the late Sena tor John ingalls,,
once declared
With the women voting the
political standards have already
improved wonderfully in many
states and the good Lord knows
that the political standards in
North Carolina are sadly in
need Of improvement.
The North Carolina legislature
should not delay, action on the
Anthony amendment. As an act
of simple justice to the women
of the state it should be promptly
ratified.
Twenty-one states of the Union
have already taken affirmative
actions on this amendment and
North Carolina should fall into
line with these progressive states
in doing an act of tardy justice
to the women who have the in
,telligence, character and capacity
to take an active and intelligent
part in the affairs of government.
Is there any justice in denying
women of culture, character and
capacity the right to vote while
permitting ignorant and corrupt
men to vote?
Is the Democratic party up
holding the fundamental principle
of equal and exact justice" as
enunciated by the immortal
Thomas Jefferson, when it denies
the women of North Carolina
the right Of suffrage.
The Democratic party Of
North Carolina must stand by
this principal or repudiate the
great founder of American de-
mocracy.
What will the party do in
North Carolina next year when
the General Assembly convenes,
we shall see. The Southerner,
Published by request of Mrs.
Fred Peck.

Desert Ice Pack,

With the thermometer registering
at noon 100 degrees Fahrenheit says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. a party
OF professional men made Ice near an
oasis In the Sahara desert and saved
the life of comrade who suffered
from malignant fever. At seven
o'clock in the evening the men SHOW
eled down through the hot sand to a
cooler stratum and formed a pit about
IS inches deep. ON the level bottom
of the depression they placed blan-
ket that measured about by s feet.
Then. drawing ON the supply of camel
fodder, they covered the blanket with
chopped straw. From the oasis they
drew water and covered the blanket to
a depth Of half an inch. As the night
advanced the temperature fell, and at
midnight frost crystals formed ON the
floating straw. At three O'Clock the
straw was embedded in sheet of ice.

Commenting on the resolution and
the situation which gave rise to II.
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant Of
the Legion. declared the case was
characteristic of the stand taken by
opponents of the measure generally
In various. parts Of the country.
"These enemies OF the BILL" he said
have deliberately and repeatedly
garbled the truth even 10 the extent
of disseminating as facts statements
which they knew to be false. Every
intelligent American knows that the
sentiment Of ex-service men as q
whole is overwhelmingly In favor Of
adjusted compensation. They have
weighed the argument on both sides
and fully believe the measure to be
not only just and fair but consistent
with the welfare Of the country as
well. This has been repeatedly
proven and reported to congress fol-
lowing exhaustive canvasses In every
state under the direct supervision of
members Of the Legion's national ex-
ecutive committee"

So far as the army and navy pro-

March when President-elect Harding
takes hold OF office.
Assistant Secretaries to Be Named.
When the new cabinet officers are
appointed there will be named new as
sistant secretaries for all the depart
ments, although there are three or four
assistant secretaries who have been so
long In the service that their expert
ence and knowledge are necessary to
any administration, and they probably
will be given a longer lease Of life.
The positions OF assistant secretaries
OF state, war. navy. treasury. and Of
all the other cabinet Offices are Of ex-
ceeding importance, and yet the Unit
ed States government pays these as
sistants salaries only equal TO those
which are given to chief bookkeepers
in comparatively small commercial
| concerns. Nevertheless there Is a de-
