The Raleigh members of the committee were requested to take in charge the matter of printing these pamphlets, and also to secure a secretary to take charge of the work of organization. The state department of agriculture at its June meeting, made an appropriation of $500 for this work. Another resolution was passed to thank the State Farmers' Union for the hearty co-operation it has given in the movement. The State Union was one of the first organizations to endorse the idea of "Civic Service Week." The other organizations which have done so include the State Press Association, Stata Board of Agriculture, North Carolina Conference for Social Service, North Carolina Good Roads Associations and other organizations. The members of the committee believe the movement will mean much in stimulating progress throughout the state.

Raleigh, July 25. For months now plans have been making ror the observance of a "Civic Service Week" in all counties ifc North Carolina next fall, and the movement assumed definite shape today when a meeting of a special committee to consider plans was called by request of Governor Craig. To prepare the preliminary plans Governor Craig requested the committee of the conference ot institutions and organizations for rural up-building to meet, this committee consisting of Maj. W. A.

Gra i It is a joyous moment for the distant grand-parent when she hears the voice of her favorite Today over 65,000 locomotives are in action over the 250,000 miles of trackage in the United States. They consume about 150,000,000 tons of coal and carry over a billion passengers and 1,800,000,000 tons of freight annually. After adopting the English-born child of. civilization, the United States took the lead in its development and application until today it stands as the world's greatest manufacturer of locomotives. Besides making enough to meet the domestic demand, the American manufactur ers are shipping locomotives abroad at the rate of a dozen a week.

They are thundering through the mountains of South America and oyer the plains and valleys of Africa; they are disturbing the calm of the Orient and are dashing from one end of Europe to the other; they have invaded the land of the locomotive's "biriji, England, and are in use upon its principal railways. Like the steamship, the locomotive is growing larger and more powerful every year. The largest reported to be in use today is a huge compound engine which measures feet over all and weighs 850,000 pounds. It is an oil burner and carries 4,000 gallons of oil and 12,000 gallons of water. It cost $43,830 to build.

These giants have reached a point where one locomotive is so long that it is hinged in the middle with a flexi ble joint, so that it can turn a curve without upsetting. Thus the locomotive has become the modern "Atlas" that carries the burden of the world's trade and population across the continents. One Uuudrod years ago today the first loot nv3 in the world to success! ly haul a load of freight upon rails made its maiden trip. Invented by George Stephenson, the "Father of Locomotives' it made its first run at Killir.gworth colliery in Entjucl. It had so many rods an-1 cranks strapped to its boiler that it had the appearance of a huge gra-sshopper.

It weighed about six tons. A pair of "walking beams." resem'iling those of a modern side-wheel steamer, turned the four wheels. There being no cab, ih3 engineer had to stand while the eagiae was in operation. It pulled eight loaded cars, which aggregate a weight of 30 tons, up a track hud a grada cf one foot in an eighth of a mile. The test was "grand" success, the engine about six miles an hour.

The first locomotive to draw a train cf cars in the United States made its experimental trip, in the Lackawanna coal district 15 years later. This locomotive also was the product of It was called the Stourbridge Lion after the place of its manufacture in England. Its American engineer, Horatio Allen, ran the engine over a track of hemlock rails for a preliminary test. Then he invited any gentlemen in the gathering of spectatoi's to accompany him. His invitation was not only refused but he was to give up his foolhardy ambition.

Laughing at his advisers, he pulled the throttle wide and "dashed" away at 10 miles an hour. er on the Long Distance Bell Telephone. EVILLE ITEMS ham, W. J. Shuford, Dr.
