This money will feed, clothe and
educate 83 orphans of Armenian
martyrs who are now in the five
North Carolina orphanages at Treb-
izond The Tar Heel state is saving
the lives of 1894 of these helpless
tots this year. Josephus Daniels is
honorary state chairman.
Mr.. Flanagan has been at work
for several weeks perfecting his or
Eganization and reports Wilson county
ready to do its duty. He is being
actively assisted by Mr.. L. S. Tom
linson, vice-chairman and Mrs. John
F. Bruton, chairman of the Women's 9
Division. Contributions are being
handled through the First National
Bank of Wilson to which they should
be sent. n
Mr.. C. l.. Coon ofsWilson is chair
man of the city school subdivision
and Miss M. Frazier of the county
schools division.
Many of these children were made
orphans during the Great War when
100000 of Armenians' 100000
troops lost their lives in defense of
the vast Baku oil fields.
Had the Central Powers captured
these vast stores, Col. Bellamy point
ed out, they would have prolonged
the war many months according to all
experts. Had this been the case there
are many North Carolina boys back
home today who would now be sleep
ing under a wooden cross in France.
North Carolina cannot see the chill
dren of these heroes starve or freeze
to death, he declared.
Other of these children were made
homeless and helpless during Turk
ish depredations into Armenia when
their fathers were murdered and
their mothers carried of to Turkish
harems because they would not re-
nounce Christ and become Moham-
medans.

dope FROM GERMANY

Ernest Guy is a Frenchman who has
been in the United States for two years,
studying the effects of prohibition.
Don't judge him by his name. however
diverting it may be. Don't judge him,
either. by the fact that he pronounces
prohibition failure Any kind of pro-
hibition that kept out French wine
would be a failure to man represent
ing French wine-growers. He reports
that there is now more whiskey con-
sumed in America than before the Vol
stead act became a law" which is ride
ulous. But the really interesting point
of his remarks concerns dope"
Taking note of the increase in the use
of narcotics in this country-which is
alarming enough, as every well-informed
American knows-he does not hold pro-
hibition responsible for it, as most of our
anti-probibitionists do. lie declares:
1T is the Germans who are spreading
narcotics throughout the world. What
is happening in the United States is but
one phase of this widespread plan to
demoralize their former enemies"
One may suspect a certain animus be-
hind that charge, and doubt very much
whether the Germans, in their manufac-
ture and distribution of narcotic drugs,
are moved by the motive Mr.. Guy as
cribes to them. 1t is important, how
ever, to know whether the deadly dope
that is poisoning the bodies and brains
of so many American boys and girls
really does come mainly from Germany,
and whether it is not possible to stop
it, no matter where it comes from.

COOPERATION FOR HEALTH

There are three effective means for
promoting health publicity, and these
should be carried on steadily. The con
tinued spread of medical knowledge IS
one of the surest representatives. of dis
ease. The three ways are the use of
the newspaper health column, instruc-
ton and medical supervision in the
schools, and public talks in non-techni-
cal language by medical authorities.
These are suggestions of DR.. G. H.
Mayo of the Mayo clinic at Rochester
MINI. Like many other leaders in his
profession, he believes that medical
knowledge should not be hidden away.
Doctors should be teachers, and the
newspaper is one medium that can be
used effectively. Money invested in
public health education is wisely spent -
If the public in general would show
as much common sense and willingness
to do its part as the doctors are show
ing, there would be a sudden and marked
increase in good health. As it is, many
persons still prefer to be occasional pa
tients than consistent and persistent CO.
operators with doctors and public health.

Don't Make Good Their PROMISES.
(Londonderry Sifter.l

Some of these days we Americans or
our descendants are going to see the
greatest curiosity of all the time. poll
tician who makes good on his campaign
promises Just now there is no such
animal There never was one. 1T is
not in the nature of things that there
should be one under present conditions.
Promises just Ooze off from an election
eefing tongue like thin molasses CUR
Cling out of a bunghole. And. like
molasses, they keep right on oozing out
until the hole is plugged up by no cleo
ton or defeat. And yet we can't navi-
gate the tuburlent sea of life without our
politicians. especially those of the pro-
fesSional breed.
We or our descendants will some day
see a politician who makes good on his
campaign promises. But perhaps he
won't be a real bonafide politician, just
mere man instead We live in hopes.
We believe if Agan was placed in the
field as nominee for governor that he
has the right metal to make good all
promises.

dccennial celebration to be held today at
De Kalb. H., will be Henry III. Parke,
who is known as the father of the Farm
Bureau movement Alr. Parke has been
a student of farmers cooperative prob
lens for many years. He was graduated
from the University of Michigan in 1898,
receiving his masters degree there in
1900. after which he taught for a time
