The equipment includes an tiseptics, salves, court plaster, absor bent cotton, bandages, and other neces sary articles for the treatment of ninor hurts of all kinds, and it is believed that it will adequately take the place of a standard kit costing ten or twelve dollars. This is the first school in the county to be provided with a regular-first-aid outfit, which is required by law in all mills and factories employing a number of hands far less than the en- rollment of even the- small school plant, i "With a view to providing some recre- ation to the pupils or the school, a I volley ball has been added to the athe- letic equipment of the latter, at a cost I of eight dollars, half of which has been i naid fioin the private funds of Fork ! High School, and the remainder (ontri I buted by the children. Likewise two ad- ! ditional large lamps have been purchased j for the school' auditorium, at a total i cost of J?20, half being given by the Ladies Community Club of the district and the remainder from the school funds. With the generous assistance of the Countv Hoard of Education a modern steel dictionary holder has been bought to support the large Webster's Inter national Dictionary awarded to Fork High School last spring as a premium for 24 subscriptions to THE IXDE j PENDENT. The school' won the first ! dictionary awarded by tins newspaper at that time, beins some weeks ahead of its nearest rival. A large map of the United States given upon request by Congressman Small, and a smaller map of North Carolina given by the State Corporation Commission have likewise been added to the classroom equipment. The largest enrollment in the history of the school is recorded for the month just ended, the final being 77 pupils. Congestion in the primary department made necessary the removal of these grades from the auditorium stage to a larger room downstairs, and the pur chase of additional desks, etc., thus giv ing temporary relief from the existing crowded condition. It is hoped that present arrangements will be sufficient for at least another year. Following is the Honor Roll for the month just ended: First Grade: Edward King, Alvin Sam ple, Vernon Jennings, George Pritchard, Curtis Winslow, James Combs, Grady Pritchard, Willard Temple, Shelton King, Weldon Miller, Alma Jennings, Catherine Morgan, Nellie Scott, Louise Pritchard, Grace Harrell, Lettice Pritchard; Second Grade: Virginia Jennings, Nellie Sample, Beulah Winslow, Amy Davis, Mildred Ives, Herman Temple, Martin Pritchard; Third Grade: Elizabeth Carter, Helen Davis.

E. tnurch South, of this city, but nowf of - Dallas Tex.i was a visitor to Elizabeth City last 'Sunday and filled the pulpit of his old charge Sunday morning. His subject dealt with the Ghristain's- indebtedness to1 human- r. He told his audience that their debt was not to those of their own sta tion in life, , but , to those, below them. 'In Dallas, I would say our debt was to those of the Mexican quarter; here in Elizabeth City I would say that our debt is to the Negro." Mr. Cunningim had a busy day renewing old acquain tance ,He was entertained, while here by the family . of .W. Woodley. H.S.WHLEY 'VOntvi Oft r m i rvramer Biag. J. F. SCOTT J. F.

Shipments of bear and deer thru the express office at Elizabeth City indi cates something of an abundance of this game this season. Most of this game comes from Dare county. Two fine deer were shipped by J. E. Duvall, of Buffa lo City this week. Because he preferred not to live with his father, Albert Horner, a white man of Durham Township, has requested that a pardon issued . him by Governor Bick ett be revoked. His request was grant ed, and after a day and night of liberty he was returned to the county chain gang to serve the remaining five months of a year's sentence for blockading. The condition in the pardon to which Horner objected was that he live with his father.

These beverages offer an un usually attractive op portunity to jobbers artd salesmen who are able adequately to cover a specific ter ritory, j FOODS and beverages canned, packed or bottled have ycu ever known one which' retained the true flavor of the original fresh product? Ever since foods and beverages have been preserved 'for human consumption the methods of preservation employed have injured or destroyed their natural flavors. Some foreign ingredient has been intro duced, some treatment, unnaturcl in t':3 light of modern science, has been resorted to. A war against oxygen! The free oxygen in the product, solid or liquid, was the cause of all the trouble. Manufacturers have heretofore preserved their products, more or less conscious of the source of trouble, .haphazardly by chemicals, cold storage or heat thus de stroying the flavor and their natural con stituents. But now an eminent scientist has dis covered a wonderful process which upsets all former methods and revolutionizes the food and beverage industries. In the man ufacture of Kovar Beverages, we call r the Kovar Process. Instead of using chemical preservatives, cold storage or heat, which destroy true flavor, the Kovar Process exhausts the oxygen and substitutes in its place a harm less, inactive gas. This gas protects both the product and its natural flavor. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and scientific ally native to the beverages ve produce. The Kovar Process is patented. Piel Brothers are its first American licensees, and the famous Kovar Beverages are pre pared by it. Trxze flavor at last I Think what this means in beverages, whose greatest claim to your patronage must always be their flavor! The true flavor of Saazer Hops!
