DEATH TO GERMS
H?r* is the best way to keep
your house free from disease
Few people realise the germ
danger larking in unsanitary sinks,
drains, closet bowls and traps.
Kitchen and bathroom floors, too,
are ideal breeding places tor
germs.
Red Seal Lye keeps these places
clean and sanitary. It kills all
germ lite and prevents germs from
spreading.
The surest way to thoroughly
cleanse and disinfect the bathroom
floor is to scrub it with a solution
of Red Seal Lre. Cleaning the
toilet is also a simple matter. Sift
a little Red Seal Lye into the bowl,
allow it to dissolve and flush. The
result is perfect sanitation.
Red Sea'. Lye prevents pipes
from decking. It keeps drains
open and free-running. Use either
in powder or solution, at frequent
Intervals, at least once a week.
Twenty ha'.i-pou.td cakes of pure
soap may be made with one can of
Red Seal Lye and five and one half
pounds of waste grease. The di
rections are in the can.
Red Seal Lye is absolutely pure
and unadulterated. Red Seal Lye
far excels cheap brands. Ask your
dealer for Red Seal Lye and take
no substitute. Send us a postal for
the Red Seal Booklet which will
be mailed you ?r.-e Write today.

ROAD BONDS NOW
IN GREAT DEMAND
C??tj ConniHHHri (M

Hertford County road bond* have
already taken a sharp rise in the bond
market. When the first batch of
bonds was offered for sale by the
county compiisaioners, buyers were
not so eager to take them at par and
above, and it required several weeks
to make a satisfactory sale which was
hedged about by conditions more
favorable to the buyers than to the
county Three hundred thousand dol
lars of the half million issue has beefi
sold, leaving $200,000 more to be
marketed.
Lately an offer has been received
by the commissioners that has per
suaded some of the members of the
board to advocate the sale of $200,
000 bonds remaining unsold. Under
the terms of the bid, a price above par
would be paid, and Ave per cent in
terest compounded semi - annually
would be paid by the buyers for a de
posit of the moneys
Although the county has a large
amount of the money from the former
sale on hand, the new offer sounded
good, in that the money from the sale
could be placed on.deposit and prac
tically take care of the interest that
would Jiave have to be paid on the
bonds. Two of the county commis
sioners strongly advocated the sale,
although they were out-voted by
other members who believed in adopt^
ing a waiting policy.

AGENT SAYS SOW
WINTER COVER CROPS
With the very unfavorable year we
have had for field crops, there has
necessarily been a big decrease in our
corn and forage crops of which we
have never produced enough at best.
The cheapest and beat way to meet :
this deficiency is to sow down the
corn and cotton middles to oats or
rye, mixed with vetch or clover.
The cotton middles may be sown
down after first picking or even as
late as November if necessary, and
the cotton stalks cut early in the
winter so that they will rot and be
out of the way next spring when you
get ready to cut the cover crop for
feed. Only by growing a great deal
more small grain this winter than we
ordinarily do, can the farmers in this
section avoid paying out more than
they can well afford to next summer
for high priced western feed.
Even if you know you wont need
the extra feed to be had, you ought to
sow these winter crops by all means,
to prevent your land leaching from
winter rains And to afford the land a
green manure crop, to be turned un- "
der next spring. Oat and rye seeds j|
are fairly cheap this fall. Sow them |
lavishly, also vetches and clover. I
