AHOSKIB WELCOMES YOU!
A Bif Automobile Parade Begin
ning at Ten O'clock to Feature
the Day'e Program?Dinner Will
Be Strred at Tobacco Warbouae?
Speaking by Judge J. S. Manning.
Aboakie W. 0. W. Band to Fur
nish Musk.
Ahoskie is looking for a record
attendance at the celebration of
the Old Soldiers1 Day on next
Thursday, August, 10. Every
meoaber of the various committees
appointed at the mass meeting is
working hard for the succes* of
this day?and a big day it is des
tined to be.
Thia^eMiralion U to l?e more
elaborate tliah that of any previous
year. Every home in the town,
every business house, and most
assuredly ever^- newspaper office
in the town will be fitting!^ dec
orated with red, white and blue
bunting. Flags will wave from all
structures. Large banners wel
coming EVERYBODY to Aboa
kie will be strung across every
street leading into town. In fact
everything will bare on an appear
ance of a gala day. (note: all
those who have not purchased
their bunting can get same by
see'-ug Mr. E. M. Woolen.)
One of the features of the day
will be the big parade, which will!
form on the Baptist Church lawn
about half past ten unlock. From
there tbey rill march down
Church Street !.to West Aboskie,
thence across . to Main Street,
down Main Struct to the Tobacco
warehouse where the exercises will
tske place. In this parade there
will be eleven cars decorated to
represent the eleven seceding
states, and they will come in order
of their withdrawal from the
Unim, South Carolina leading.
A list of the committees and the
cars to represent each state will
be found in another column of
this paper.
The Ahoskie W. O. W. Band
will be found somewhere in the
parade. All of the Confederate
Veterans are to ride in the parade
in ears especially decorated for
them. The Mayor and Town
Council, and. Judge J. S.
Manning, of Durham, are to oc
cupy a foremost place in the par
ade. Besides these, individual
floats of business houses, frater
nal orders, social clubs, and
what not, will add to the beauty
and length of the parade.
Dinner will be served to the
crowds, and everybody in the
counsy is urged to bring a basket
along with them so that nobody's
hunger shall be left unsatisfied.
Hon J, S. Manning, who has been
secured to deliver the principal
address of the day, is widely
known in this state. Many read
era of this article ere already cog
nizant of the fact that he is the
nominee of the Democratic party
for Attorney-General to succeed
T. W. Bickett?After November
Governor Thomas Walter Bickett
Hon. Mr. Manning is an able law
yer. being the law partner of
former Governor W. W. Kitchen;
he is a pleasing speaker, and a
good mixer. And. if be can't
whoop 'em up enough for you,
leave the rest to the Ahoskie
Band. This band of musicians,
with the aid of a few expert musi
cians from Rocky Mount, will
furnish music pleasing to t he ear
of those who come.
We have enumerated some of
the things that should attract you
to Ahoskie on that day. Every
one is a feature; a parade, big
ger better, prettier, and more
elaborate than anything ever at
tempted in Hertford County, a
pleasing speaker, a big dinner,
and a bund to liven you up to the
situation. Then there are others.
But, above all things, Ahoskie
I wants YOU on that dayl Make if
BUMPER CROP OF BABIES.
75,612 babies were reported to
have been born in North
Carolina laat year.
According to preliminary statis
tics compiled today by tbe Bureau
of Vital Statistic*, there were
75,612 babies born in North Car
olina in 1915. This is equivalent to
a birth rate of approximately 31.
per thousand of population. This
birth rate is considerably above
the average birth rate re
ported in the United States and ia
particularly gratifying when we
note that during the same period
1915, there were only 6,807 deaths
repotted from babies less than one
year of age, or approximately 9%
of the babies born during the year.
While ordinarily this ia much low
erperceutage of deaths than would
be expected in a state with a mix
ed population, and while it is
much lowei than that reported by
the average in the registration
area, we believe that the greater
number(of these deaths were pre
ventable and as health conditions
improve in North Carolina we
may confidently expect a corres
ponding reduction in the percen
tage of baby deaths reported.
Some interesting facts about tbe
baby death rate are that tbe coun
ties having the highest death rates
were in general those counties
known to have one or more of the
following conditions. First, a low
liercentage of white population;
second, a low per capita wealth,
third, a high percentage of illiter
acy and. conversely, those coun
ties having the lowest baby death
rate in general have greatest per
capita wealth, the beat schools and
the Urgest percentage of white
population.
WEAR THIN SUMMER CLOTHES
State Board of Health Says Wear
Thin, Looae-Fittinf Clothes
in Warm Weather.
"Our efficiency or our ability to
turn out large quantities of good
work as well as our ability to
really enjoy living to the fullest
extent in summer depends very
largely," says an article from the
.State Board 6f Health, "upon the
clothes we wear." It is further
pointed out that the present ten
dencies are strongly toward venti
lation for the skin as well as the
lungs and to accomplish this por
ous loose-woven, loose-titling
clothes are to be prefet1 red. In
fact light and fresh air have such
a tonic effect on the skin that one
of thei factors in the treatment
of certain forms of tuberculocus is
to have the patients bask in the
fresh air and sunshine, without
practically any clothes. It is for
this same excellent effect that it is
now advised-that the skin be give
en all the fresh air possible by
means of thin, porous clothes par
ticularly in the summer and the
advantage of a few minutes expos
ure of the entire body to fresh air
in a nude state daily whenever
practical upon arising and upon
retiring.
Further interesting points tbout
summer cotbing are that white or
light colors reflect light ani heat
and are therefore cooler than dark
colors that absorb light and heat;
cotton or linen are the best mater
ial to wear next to the skip; all
clothing should be suspended from
the sholders and garters and other
tight fitting clothes discarded.

West Raleigh, N. C., A usual,
2.?"In a teat concluded on July,
22d it waa found that waite |>eu
nuU and peanut meal both have
great value for bog feeding," my*
Mr. Dan T. Grav. The teat waa
conducted for tbe |>urpope of de
termining the relative value of
wheat ahorta, waste peanut*, and
peanut meal, and waa made at the
Edgecombe Teat Farm at Rooky
Mount, N. C.
"At the end of the teat the hogs
averaged over 2t>0 pound* in
weight aud were shipped to the
Baltimore market, where thev
Mild for $10.30 per hundredweight.
Only one lot of hogs on the mar
ket Mold higher than these.
"In tbe test the pigs were di
vided into three lots. The first
lot was fed on a ration of two
thirds corn and one-third wheal
shorta; tbe second, on two thirds
corn aod one-third waste peanuts:
the third, on two-thirds corn and
one-tbird peanut meal. They
were kept in the fattening pen for
a period of 140 days. During this
period the pigs in the firat lot
gained at the rate of seveu-tenths
of a pounds per pig per day.
Those in the sagteid lot gained at
the rate of eight-tenths of a pouad
pe> pig per day. Thoi-e of the
second lot also gained at the rate of
eight-tenths of a pound per pig
per day.
It m*y be *#e& from this that,
as far as daifjr gMfiia are'feortCern
ed, both the waste peanuts and
peanut meal were superior to the
wheat shorts. The cost of the
grains, of course, depends on the
price of the feeds and the valuq
allowed the waste peanuts. In
this test, however the corn was
valued at $1 per bushel, the waste
l<eaupts at 75 cents per bushell,
the peanut meal at $50 per ton.
Many farmers will be found that
place a much less value on a bu
shel of corn for feeding purposes,
and there are some who placo no.ie
at all on damaged peanuts.
"However, when the feeds are
valued as we have in the above
it was found that wheat shor.la was
the most expensive feeds used.
It cost as a supplementary feed
with corn $10.35 to make 100
pounds increase in weight. Where
the damaged peanuts were used,
the cost of this 100 pound increase
in weight was reduced to $9.83,
and down still lower to $8.81
where the meal was used. This
would tend to show that both the
waste peanuts and the peanut
meal are cheap and economical
feeds.
"In this connection it might be
stated that a good lesson in tiie
community selling of live stock
was demonstrated to the people
in the vicinity of the test farm.
Only thirty-two hogs were used in
this test, and when they were
ready for the market it was found
that the number did not near fill
the car. It was necessary to ship
a car-load to tret the benefit of the
lower rate on cer-lot shipments.
A canvass of the neighborhood
revealed the fact that there were
enough pigs and sheep in the vi
cinity that farmers wanted to sell
at a good price, so these were
added to the shipment, and all
concerned saved materially on
freight rates."

Do Not Borrow L*r|e Amount*

Any and All Purpose*,
The Progressive Far
mer Advises.
The new Federal farm loan law
may or may not mean the imme
diate assurance of cheap money
on long time for the farmer; but
to us it seems only reasonable to
assume that the passage of this
law, with such future amendments
as experience in its operation may
abow needful, will ultimately
bring to us the boon of cheap
?voney that European farmers
have long enjoyed.
In obtaining loans, the wise
farmer will give careful considera
tion to the purposes for which the
moue.^ is to be used. The new
law expressly states that all loans
obtained through the Federal land
banks shall be used for productive
purposes,?that is, for clearing,
ditching, fencing and otherwise
improving land, for buyiDg live
stock, or for paying off existing
indebtness on the land. In other
words, the purpose is to lend no
tboney unless it be used iu a way
that will insure greater returns
from the farm and consequently
increase the asstlmuice that all pay
ments will be promptly met when
due.

banks to be organized under the
direction of tbe Federal Farm
Loan Board may lend money on
farm lands without any restric
tions as to tbe uses to which it
aball be put, and tbe private insti
tutions over the country that are
lending ofi farm lands anil proba
bly, in order to meet the competi
tion, similarly withdraw restric
tions. There is a danger here,
and one that every farmer may
well consider. An automobile for
instance, may oe an excellent
thing, but for a man with a $2,000
farm to mortgage it for $1,000 to
to buy an automobile is folly.
Similarly, to borrow money for
building an unnecessarily fine home
or buying clothes that are not
really needed is dangerous. If
you have the money already, buy
the luxuries if you believe you
can afford them; but borrow no
money that is not used to make
money.
Thus we see that easy money
for farmers will be heluful only
as farmers use it in helpful ways.
