Record Money Order Month—Where
They Went.
Graham postoffice issued 434
money orders daring the month of
March—the largest number ever
issued in a month in the history
of the office. They represented
several thousands of dollars.
Posmaster J. M. McCracken
tells us that a majority of them
went to mail order houses. Local
business men should take notice
of the vast sums of money sent
away to mail order concerns and
do their beet to meet the competi
tion by keeping goods to meet the
demand and at prices which will
induce buyers to leave their
money at home. Three things
are vital to meet this outflow of
cash— the goods, right prices and
advertising. These must be done
or the money will continue to go
elsewhere. It, too, should be
borne in mind that when the
money goes beyond the limits of
the State, that it is absolutely
gone so far any benefit locally is
concerned. Local business peo
ple should bestir themselves and
Have, as far as possible, thiß de

A Play For Patriots.
"The Fall of a Nation'- it sure
fto stir patriotic enthusiasni when
presented for the first time here
on April 17th at The Mexican. In
New York add Chicago the great
spectacle was the macca of many
thousands of patriotic Americans
who cheered the big scenes'to the
echo. Thomas Dixon's play, as like
wise Victor Herbert's accompany
ing muaic, vibrates with genuine
Americanism. The author describes
it as a "bugle call to> arms for the
national defense.'- The story is ol
an imaginary invasion of the United
States by a foreign power. After
the defeat of our puny army ana
the subsequent usurpation of au
thority at Washington, the women
of the country come to the rescue
and by means of a secret, oat.i
bound conspiracy contrive to ex
pel the invaders.
The first clash of the war: in Da
vidson county occurred at Yadkin
College, when an argument on war
resulted in Roscoe Charles being se
verely cut with a knife by Walter
Grubb. Grubo was for peace and
used a knife.

The estimate of the national De
partment of Agriculture of this
year's" whet crop, based on the av
erage condition April 1, is 430,000,000
bushels—a shortage of 51,747,000. In
1915 the crop was 073,947,000 the
largest on record.
. The acreage sown to wheat last
fall was 40,000,000, about the largest
on record, but unfavorable winte.-
weather cut the crop. The condition
April 1 was 83.4 per cent of a nor
mal compared with 78.S last year,
88.8 in 1916, and 88.2 the 10-ysar
average. The condition decreased
22.3 points from December Ito
AprH 1, compared with 'an aver
age.
The rye crop this year promises
to be the largest on record—6o,ooo,-
000 bushels, the acreage having been
increased 740,000. From the pres
ent indications the combined winter
wheat and rye harvest will bq 490,-
000,000 bushels, compared with 529,-
127,000 bushels for those crops last
year.
Much ot the abandoned acreag '
will be planted to corn in the Bouth
em/part of the belt, and to spring
wheat in the northern portions.
Prevailing high prices for wheat are
expected to spur farmers to place
a larger acreage under spring
wheat and officials look for a rec
ord crop of that cereal.
