The law authorizing the issue of the Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 in vests these bonds with certain ad vantages which no other bonds in the world, be they national, state, municipal or corporate, possess and makes them in many respects a uni quely desirable investment. f These bonds are not taxable by nation, state, county or city; nor will any war tax subquently levied by the United States during this war affect them. State, county and city taxes often amount to as much as three cents on the dollar; the ex emption from taxation of these bonds makes them in such cases equivalent to a 6 one-half per cent investment. An investment absolu tely safe bringing 6 one-half per cent exceptionally desirable. The holder of these Liberty Loan Bonds are given the right, should th<> United States tubauently dur intr this war issue bonds bearing a higher rate of interest, to exchange their Liberty Loan Bonds at par for similar bonds bearing the higher rate. Holders of Liberty Loan Bonds are assured that their invest ments will not be impaired in mar ket value by coming in competition with later ihsued bonds of the Gov ernment bearing a higher rate of interest. There is yet another quality at taching to these bonus which give them a world-wide value and char acter which no other bonds in the world possess, and which will not only create the widest possible mar ket for their sale when normal times come again but which stabilize their value throughout the world. This is best expressed by the New York Times: "(Jne merit of the Liberty Loan is the market it will have. No other bond will have equal value troughout the nation, or a like inter national value. No other bond can be bought and sold on a universal quotation and in leading centres in any amounts without spoiling the market. There will always be bids and offers for <he Liberty Loan, and they may be cashed and bought for cash with the greatest ease. The UDerty i?an win dc reiaieu u> mt money market more closely than other bonds, and, furthermore, will be related to the gold tnarket as a consequence of having an interna tional market. Government bonds are now being exchanged so generally and in such sums that there is a propect of real ization of the idle dream of the past that a substitute could be found for international shipments of gold on the balance of merchandise ex changes. It is easier and safer to ship securities than species, and the international relations are now'be-, coming so Intimate that bonds in safe deposit may 'be sufficient guarantee to credit exchanges with out shifting even securities from one side of the ocean to the other. The Federal Reeeye Bank now bal ances credit* by telegraphic orders on a gold fund at Washington, with out shifting the gold. It is not dif ficult to beleive that the relations between the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank of "England may yet justify the control the International exchanges In the same manner, un der the safeguard of an exchange of securities as good as gold. These uses give a value to to the Liberty Loan which can be shared with no other bonds. The modest holder of a few hundreds or thous ands of tho worlds premier security may consider that such uses art nothing to him. That is a mistake. He may not want the loan for those purposes, but the feet that the loan has such use* add* to Its value in the hand* of even the smallest hold er*. The Liberty Loan is a nation FARMERS SHOULD PLANT MORE COWPEAS C. B. William* Advises Farmer* ? to Plant Eaouj(b Cowpeas to Sap ply Their Families' Wants?Nu tritive Vain*. West Raleigh, N. C., June 6.? It should be the aim of every farm er to grow and save at least enough cowpeas for the needs of his own ^family. Only small acreage would be required to provide for these needs. This being a leguminous crop, might well be grown much more largely than it is at present. It produces an excellent quality of hay; is well suited for crop rotations adapted to the needs of the soils of the State; is a soil-improving crop when prop erly handled; and, in addition, the peas have great food value for man, while the hay- and peas have high feeding value for domestic ani mals. It may be of interest to know that cowpeas contain on an average 60 per cent higher protien than is contained in wheat flour manufact ured by the patent roller process, according to Mr. C. B. Williams. This higher protien content gives the peas a very high nutritive value The fuel, or energy-supplying value, for one doing hard manual work, of peas is about the same as that of patent flour which, at the present costs 50 to 60 per dent more per pound than do peas. This U a time when our people should look to the utilizing of food products in an economical ana in telligent way. Most of our people are accustomed to eating peas, but this appears to be the year when tfieir more general use as a food product should be practiced.. Murfreesboro Commissioners Murfreesboro.

WIHTON WAVELETTS Judging from the nuinber of mis takes in tbe Winton Waveletts last week, we think the "Devil" must have set up our news. Ye Editor has been setting up the Winton news, for nobody else in the office could read it. What he can't read, he guesses at, and is generally a good guesaer. (Our guess failed last week?Ed.) However we shall call attention to only one mistake. The HERALD wi J Winton would help the Armenian Releif Fund in a sympathetic way, when it ought to have been systematic way. Too many people are helping in a sym pathetic way only, and that is the reason the Armenians and Syrians are starving by the thousands. They have Winton's sympathy and will have some of Winton's money.

TAKE THE LOAN By Edward Everett Hale. Come, freedom of the land, Come, meet the great demand, [ True heart and open hand, Take the loan! For the hopes the prophets saw. For the sword your brothers diaw, For liberty and law. Take the loan! Ye ladies of the land. As ye love the gallant band, Who have drawn a soldier's brand, Take the loan! Who would bring them what she could, Who would give the soldier food. Who would staunch her brother's blood, Take the loan! AH who saw her hosts pass by,* All who joined the parting cry, When we bade them do or die, Take the loan! As ye wished their triumph then, As ye hope to meet again, And to meet their gaze as men, Take the loanl Who could press the great appeal Of our ranks of serried steel, Put your shoulders to the wheel. Take the loan! That our prayers in truth may rire, Which we press with streaming eyes Ori the Lord of earth and skies. Take the loan! AaMHUHkL HHKh ?HhH if humHI ROOT VEGETABLES VAL UABLE FOOD SUPPLT South Should Raise More Root Veletabl^s?Division of Horticnl ture Suffeats Planting of Carrots, Parsnip* aad Salsify. Wert Raleigh, June 5?A class of vegetables that should be more ex tensively grown, especially in this time of war and food shortage, is the root vegetables. Most gardens have turnips and beets for a few weeks in the year, but at best their season is short. Our growing sea son in the South is so long that the time for turnips and beets can be greatly extended by success've plant ings. Both of these vegetables may be planted as late as August and in an ordinary season will mature be fore frost, a crop that can be stor ed for winter use, according to the Division of Horticulture. There are three other vegetables of the root class that are not as ex tensively grown in the South as their food value would warrant. These are carrots, parsnips jmd sal sify. These vegetables differ from turnips and beets in the fact that they grow deep in the soil and do not need winter storage as beets and turnips do. They may be dug out of the ground in good condi tion for use or sale at practically any time during fall or winter. A spring and a fall crop may be made of carrots, but salsify and parsnips do better for fall or winter use. Parsnips and salsify may be sown, like other root crops, in early spring but in our long growing season they are apt to become tough and woody if sown too early. They had best be planted in June and early July, for they will mature properly be fore freezing weather. Salsify seed is apt to germinate poorly in a loose soil. It should be sown rather, thickly and the row tramped or rolled after sowing. An ounce of seed will * plant seventy feet of row. Three to ten pounds will be needed for an acre. Eight een to twenty-foar-inch rows should be used. When the plants are up thin to two or three inches. Any good high grade truck fertilizer, used at the rate oY 1,000 to" 1,500 pounds per acre, should produce good results when applied to tho roughly prepared soils. As to planting and width of rows carrot is sown like salsify. Two Bnd a half to three pounds of seed should be used per acre. Occasionally rad ii ish seed is used to mark the rows. In such cases the radishes can be removed before injury to the crops occur. It is some times profitable to grow early carrots in cold frames for northern shipment. These may be Bent along with the beets grown in eold frames. The Early Scarlet Horn is the best variety to sow in colc} frames. The French Forcing is also good. These are small and may be bunched like radishes. A method of. common use with some gardeners is to plant twenty inch apart in the row. Durinar growth they can be thinned out as the vegetable is used. For parsnips one ounce of fresh seed is sufficient to plant 200 feet of row. The seed is light and chaf fy and should be sown thickly to insure a good stand. This means that from four to six pounds of seed are necessary for. an acre. Shallow drills, 18 to 24 inches apart should be used and the seed not covered for more than' one-half inch. Frequent use of a wheel hoe af ter the plants get started is necess ary to keep the weeds down and to form a surface mulch. This also avoids the neceesity of hand weed ing. Perfectly level cultivation should be practiced. The best variety of salsify is the Mammoth Sandwich Island. For carrots, the short types, New Ox heart, Ceantenay, and Danvers are best. The Hollow Crown is the standard variety of parsnip for this Stat*. If you have never grown these coot vegetables make a trial of ninoii DM IN MI i ^ Registrars Have a Busy Day Registering the Boys of Mil itary A|e?Recruiting Of fice Open?Bank* Observe Holiday. Ahoskie put on a war like hue Tuesday, Registration Day all over the United States. While the old Wearer* of the Gray mingled to gether at their Annual Reunion in Washington, the future khaki dads calmly walked up to the registra tion Board and affixed their names to the little stripe of card board, which shall some day make them either dead heroes or veterans of the War of 1917. Following the suggestisn of Governor Bickett both of the local banks observed Tuesday as a holiday.. The "boys" of military age did their full duty. The Re*i*trars were kept busy the whole day. Early in the morning conveyances came into town from the country and everybody shoWtefl a complete willingness to affix their names to the registration cards. The De partment of Justice need have no fear of slackers in and around Ahos kie. / When the Editor came d6#n to his office Early in the morning (?) tko ra<riatro?o mora '? *?*? ???v a v0Wk>M? nviv I1VIIIIIIVU 111 UJ an overflow of those wishing to register. In fact, they all seemed anxious to be the first to sign up. On each man's arm who registered was pinned a strip of khaki cloth ?the first step to a full uniform of that material, While the Registrars were busy signing them ' up, Vernon Garrett, who has recently joined the Fourth Infantry of Virginia, decorated his Ford car with signs reading thualy, "Join the 4th Infantry and you Will not have to register." He was in other words conducting a recruiting station. We have not learned how many applications he received dur ing the day. Others who Rave recently joined the Fourth Infantry of Virginia at Franklin, Va., from Ahoskie are Bryant Alexander and Willie Cope land. - Eaul Pinaon and Stuart Hullo man, both of Ahoekie, left Monday morning for Norfolk, where they signed up with Uncle Sam's navy. The former was a member of the HERALD force. With one member of the force already signed up for tfie Navy and both proprietors' names affixed to the registration cards on Tuesday, the HERALD bids fair to do a full part towards "beating the Germans." Two Killed by Explosion. A saw mill at Glovers' cross road. between Harrellsville and Colerain, was completely wrecked by an ex plosion of the boiler laat Thursday morning about ten o'clock. Mr. J. H. Newsome, the owner of the mill, and his negro firemen were instant ly killed by the explosion and another negro who was working about the mill was blown several feet in the air, but escaped with in juries. It is thought that the ex plosion was caused by the steam valve being itojfped up, the excess steam having no way to escape from the boiler. Mr. Newsome is well known in Hertford and Bertie counties. His brother, Mr. W. J. Newsome, con ducts a general mercantile business in Harrellsville. He also has r*l?> tives living in Ahoskie. gMMHi Tom IM ?
