Public Library for Rocking
ham. -
At a meeting of the Library
Association last Friday night it
was unanimously decided to take
steps to establish a free Public
Library in Rockingham For
some time a. committee has been
making investigations as to the
cost of maintaining such a ven
tare; and also making plans to
nan the library in case it is se
cured. The Association decided
that a campaign would be carried
on for funds to support it and if
enough subscriptions are secur
ed to pay expenses for one year,
then the library could be estab
lished right away.
In the meantime the prospects
have seemed so encouraging that
the furniture of the Richmond
Club has been taken over and a
deal is now pending for the lease
of the club rooms. The plan is
to make the library an attractive
place to go, and free to all who
want to take advantage of its
opportunities. It is to be run on
a strictly up-to-date basis, with
all the leading daily papers;
magazines and periodicals and
will be open every afternoon, and
all day on Saturday.
A committee composed of W.
N. Everett, Chairman, W. B.
Cole, John Dockery and Claude
Gore has been appointed to han
dle the financial end of the cam
paign. Already a number of
people have subscribed without
being solicited. It looks like a
Free Public Library is in sight

The "Douglas" Helmet
(From the Red Cross Bulletin)
The "Douglas" helmet is an in
novation in Red Cross work. It
was invented by Mrs. R. S. Mor
ton, Detroit, Michigan, who asked
that it be called the "Douglas"
helmet, in honor of her son,
Douglas, who was in the service.
The new helmet has the advan
tage that it takes far less yarn,
may be crocheted instead of
knitted, therefore saving much
time, and may be made by an
active worker in a couple of
hours.
In its use it has the advantage
of being smaller, more easily ear
ned than a larger helmet, is
without the muffeler attachment
of the ordinary helmet, and has
all Jthe warmth and protection for
the face and ears of the wearer
that the older helmet possesses.
DIRECTIONS
Material: Khaki or grav worsted
knitting yarn, 1 skein. Crochet needle
No. 5.
Single crochet: Insert hook, draw yarn
through, pass yarn around the hook and
draw it through both loops on the hook.
Start in the center with a chain of four,
join one chain, single crochet into this
increasing enough to keep it flat and con
tinue around and around, increasing
gradually until you have a perfectly flat
top, 6 1-4 inches in diameter. Then con'
tinue row after row without increasing
for 4 7-8 inches. The cap should then
measure 6 inches from center of crown
to edge of cap and about 22 inches around
Do not break off yarn. Chain one, turn,
skip 1 stitch and single crochet 14 inches
for neck piece, leaving 8 inches for front
of cap. Then one chain, turn, skip 1 and
crochet back and forth on the 14 inches
decreasing 1 stitch first end of each row
until you have 3 rows or 1 14 inches,
which completes the neck piece. Do not
break off yarn.
EAR FLAPS AND TIE: One chain,
turn, single crochet 18 stitches, 1 chain,
turn, skip 1, single crochet 17 stitches,
chain 1, turn, repeat, decreasing each
row until only 3 remain. Put needle in
center and crochet a chain 8 inches long
for tie.
Break off yarn. For second flap start
at other end of neck piece and single cro
chet 18 stitches and continue directions
same as first Do not break off yarn,
turn and single crochet all around cap
and both sides of chain for tie. Cover
flaps and tie with slightly damp cloth and
press with morderately warm iron. A
circular piece of cardboard 6 1-4 inches
in diameter is convenience in measuring
for the perfectly flat top.

should have turned to the right
on meeting Reynolds, and a
collision resulted. Mr. Guthrie
awarded Reynolds$50asdamages.
Chamberlain gave notice of ap
peal.

As matter of fact, the Jobson

and anybody qan see the big
benefits of it as soon as they
read the bookie now being given

This book ceitainly gives some
"New Wrinkles" in spring and
summer plowing and no farmer
can afford to go ahead with his
crop this year without getting a
copy and reading up on it
The plow holds out the bene
fits of deep tilling which were
practically beyond the reach of
small farmers everywhere. It
does this at a ridiculously small
price. It handles wet land from
one to three 'days earlier than
any other plow. It does two or
three plowing in one, and the
fact that it goes ten inches deep
on the same draft it takes to
pull any other plow a depth of
six inches is established by the
positive statement of as great an
Agriculturist as Hon. F. J. Merri
am, Editor and President of one
of the great farm papers of the
Country The Southern Ruralist.
of Atlanta.
Our-county dealers are much
interested in getting a large
number of these plows on our
farms this season, and they take
this occasion to invite every pub
lic spirited citizen in the county
to come in and investigate this
movement.

tilling 'growing crops, which
renders it still more valuable as
an all round farm implement.
It is hoped that other dealers in
this county will co-operate. :
