LIBERTY LOAN BONDS.
Do your "bit" now—don't be a
"•lacker" —buy a "Liberty lloud."
This is the patriotic call your coun
try makes to you. L'ulcss you Have
; your country, all is lost.
America has joined the Allies in
behalf of world-wide demociacy, and
against world-wide autocracy. "* -
Buying a Liberty Bond to help
prosecute tho war agaiimt kaiserisui
_ is perhaps tho only way iu which
you can help iu the world war for
democracy. Vou can not, inayhaj*
on account of age or other infirmities,
| do duty at the front, but you can
It;, take of your niuanu and make an
interest-bearing investment that will
help your country. This iB as much
an act of patriotism ax tenting on
tbe battlefield. One is us necessary
as tho other. Do what you can —be
a patriot.
buy a bond, you have only to
see yonr banker to make the arrunge
v inent. If you havn't tho ready cash,
he will holp you.
REGISTRATION DAY
Next Tuesday, Juno ■">111, from 7a.
in. till 1) p. in., is the day set apart
by the I'rcNidcut under authority ol
Congress fur the registration of every
male person "in the United States
from the ages of "1 to JO years, with
out regard to race or nationality, as
provided for in the selective draft
act. It ia tho patriotic duty of every
one within tho ago limits prescribed
to register. A severe penalty is fixed
for refusal or failure to perform the
duty. The call is a buglo call for
the causo of frcodom.
sn our fourth jiuge of this issue
is an exact copy of the reginlrulion
card ami full directions and inforiuu
tion in regard to registration.
Novor before have the jieoplo ol
thin great country been urged to
plan and plunt for bountiful food
crops an they have in the pant few
weeks. The injunction has not gone
unheeded. The harvest time will
tell a tale that will rejoice the nations
of the earth.
What a Government Bond Is.
The Government of the United
States ha* two methods of raising
money. One is by taxation. The
other is by thosaluof bonds, »It it-It
is « method of borrowing money.
The Government bond is the
printed promise of the Govern
ment to pay back the borrowed
aum of money at n certain time,
and to pay iuterest on it at regular
intervals until it is repaid.
The Government borrows money
in this way only after it hits been
given the right to do so by act of
Congress approved by the Presi
dent, and the terms of the limn are
net out in the act.
Back of the piomiso of the Gov-'
eminent stands the honor of the
Government aud all its taxing re
sources. Really the whole wealth
of the Natiou stands behind this
solemu promise of the Govern
ment to pay.
This makesa United States Gov
inent bond the safeet investment
B iu the world. If the bond of the
United .states Government i» uot
safe, no properly in the United
Statws is sale, li the United States
can not pay its bonds, it ia hardly
probable that it will be able to
! protect the citizens in their other
fn *i. hu.
The Libert) Loan Honda of 1917
are especially attractive invest
ments. Not only have they this
absolute safely characteristic of
- all United Slates bonds but they
are tax free uot only from all ex
:l* isting ta VH but from any war tax
that may subaeiuent|y be levied.
No Stale, City, uor county may
tax'them. The Inheritance tax of
the United .Slates and of some
Statea may aflfeet them, or rather,
affect their transfer after death of
the owner by will or by inherit
ance.
p.. Another advantage these Lib
erty Loan Bonds jiosseaa is that if
the Government issues bonds later
on during th s war at a higher rate
ot interest the holders of Liberty
Loan Bonds will be allowed to ex
; change at par their bonds for
bonds bearing the higher rate of
iutereut.
The Day and Its Duties.
AN APPEAL BY THE GOVERNOR
North Carolinians, the fifth day
of June draws uigh. It behooves
us to put our house iu order and
bo reaily for its coming. All peo
ples in all climes have their eyes
fixed on that day—the day where
on a mighty nation is to register
its consecration to selfless,service
in the cause of universal justice
and abiding peace. /The day is
destined to loom large in history,
and will bo forever linked with a
world-wide acceptance of the
rights of man first declared at
riiiladelphia and made secure at
York town. *■
'"■ Happily in North Carolina there
is no longer division or debate.
With a faith that casts out fear
wo no forth to register a stern
challenge to the blood r°d prestige
of a band of hereditary autocrats
who have made unto themselves
and unto their people an Iron
linage and called it God.
But the registration iu a single
day of all the men in the State
between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty-one calls for persistent
and systematic work. I ttiere
"fore urge—
I. That all ministers of the
gospel of every race and creed call
attention at every service con
ducted by them between now and
the fifth of June to the following
duties of citizenship and com
mands of the law,
(1) That the registration books
will open at 7 a. in. on Tuesday
the 6th day of June and close
at !• [I. in.
(2) That it is important to
register early in the day in order
to avoid congestion in the closing
(■i) That the law applies to
white and black alike. Ministers
and teachers of the colored race
are requested to emphasize the
fact that all colored men botwoeu
tho prescribed ages are required
to register iu practically the same
manner as the whites.
(1) . That no physical disability
will excuse II 1111111 for failing to
register. If lie is between twenty
one and ihirty-ouo years of age he
must register in person or send
Ilia card no mutter what hia phy
sical condition may bo. The ques
tion of exempting him from service
on account of physical uu fitness
will be determined at a later day.
It in no way affects the obligation
imposed upon him to register.
(5) That if a party willfully
fails to register ho will forthwith
be ar/ested. Our people must be
given to understand that they
have no discretion in thin matter.
11 their nam en do not appear oil
the registration cards when they
am canvassed, a warrant will be
sworn out against them at once.
1 sincerely trust that not a man in
North Carolina will In arrested
for idling to do his duty. ~
(.'I) That of the men who regis
ter on the 6th day of June prob
ably not more lliau one out ol
twelve will-be drawn for service
on the first call. Hut if a man
shows any disposition to avoid or
evade his responsibility he will iu
all probability he the lirst man
who will be sent to the training
cnmpM. Alii every conceivable as
pect it will pay the citizen to
cheerfully comply with the law.
11. I urge every newspaper in toe
State to call attention to the nix
matters mentioned above in every
issue of the paper from now until
registration i».v.
lit. 1 urge all traveling men, ru
ral maij camera, physici'ins w»u
practice in' the country, all mer
chant* and banker* anil employer*
of men, and all landlords to call
the attention of their customers,
employees, and tenantii to the re
quirements of the law.
IV. 1 urge every man who known
about reglst rat ion day to deem it
hi# patriotic duty to sec to it th.it
every inan in hi» precinct it inform
ed of the requirement* of the law,
anil let each precinct in the Slate
take pleasure and pride in seeing
to It that no man in that precinct
shall be arrested for failure to ilo
his duty.
V. 1 suggest that on Sunday af
ternoon, Juno 3rd, or on the night
of June 4t.li, there be held in every
town and city in the State a patri
otic rally. 'Let there be music and
a great outpouring of the people
and then lot some om brifly ana
clearly state the requirement* of
the law.
1 do not ask that June sth oe
made a holiday. ■ That i|uestion
may be safely left to the Judgment
of each community and to those
in charge of the industries of th
State. If a field needs cultivating
—lf machinery needs t > be kept
running in order to meet the o*l
geneies of the time*, work ought
not to be suspended in orcl >r to
make a holiday. But I earnestly
..ill jnot|}fnoji|) )»{! |«iui
State tiie day may bo mad' one
of consecration and. prayer.
I do urge thai every man who
can spare time will turn out on
registration day anil .assist in every
possible way in seeiM-ing a com
plete registration in every pre
cinct.
Let the women and th- ehildrrti,
together with the old >r men.icr*

BACCALAUREATE ADDKES3.
At eight in tlie evening President
Harper delivered the annual bacca
laureule Aldress, "we need a con
structive force, a cementing prin
ciple, a brotnerttood spirit as a
corrective ol our proveioiai irrev
erence. For all of >uis mere is onlv
one remedy—a cultivation oi tiic
spirit of Jesus Christ." gala
president Harper, as he reached the
climax of ms discourse.
lie was discussing "The Causes
and Cure of irreverence." i ne.
causes were shown to be a revolt
irom the Puritanism oi our eariy
national lite, u misconception oi
trutu by scientific men wno tailed
to Uiflerentiate self-evident, scien
tific ut spiritual trutn, or to rec
ognize the limitations oi eacu type,

lie urged the cure of the maladay
'couttf* not be found by reversion,
'l'here is no backtracking in
Christian lite. Forward ib tne vvoru
—lorward forever. Puritanism had
failed, he declared beiore individ
uality had demonstrated its claim
to be respected. Our attempt to
throttle meu's minds by an appeal
religious authority would upset tne
foundations of tne universe. it
failed in Oulilee's day. it will fail
now. f»or can asceticism bring tne
restorative needed. It demonstrat
ed the fatuousness in days when
the church and its leaders were
poor. It would never do now, in
tnat wealth is the handmaid oi tne
cnurch.
"I'ne only cure," he continued,
"is the one I recommend—a cultiva
tion of the presence of Jesus Christ.
We are told that men to-da.v have
lost their Dense of the immanence 01
Uod. Then they must find it ugain.
It is the cure for irreverence, it
does not bring a system of super
nal espionage lording it over men;
it brings comradeship with God. in
tne realization of liis noiding pres
ence, we can be but reverential, we
can but do our christian duty as be
come* men. lie wno realizes that
Christ is by his side has already
triumphed over his baser nature
and achieved his spiritual victory.
President Harper pointed out that
college men have need especial
ly to cultivate Christ's presence, be
cause they are in danger of irrev
erence as investigators of every

wliy, he Christian Colleges
are necessary Jhal men's souls may
ripen aa their minds enlarge.
in conclusion nc rejoiced that

Lesson X.— Second Quarter, For
June 3, 1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lmon, John xvlll, 1-18.
Momory Vorooo, 10, 11—Goldon Toxt,
Is*. liii, 3—Commentary Prepared by
Rov. D. M. Stoarna.
Wo certainly have today in many
respects an Imi>ossible lesson, Impos
sible for us to grasp or understand or
in any measure enter into its real sig
nificance. But we can believe It and
stand In owe and, bowing low, adotC.
The first sentence, "When Jesus bad
spoken these words," takes us back
over Ills discourse and prayer in the
upper room that last evening, giving
Us truth to be pondered every day and
hour until we shall see llim face to
face, and then to be understood and
appreciated us never before. It seems
a great pity not. to have a lesson on
Ills lnlmituble prayer in which lie
poured out ilia heart to Ills Father
for Himself uud for that little com
pany and for us. Do not fall to no
tice In verse 5 that He was truly one
with the Tatlicr before the world was;
In verses 4, 0, 2H, that Ills one aim
on earth was to glorify the Father and
manifest illm to others; in verses 11,
18, that Is why we are here )D the
world In Ills stead. In verses 3, 21-23,
He gives eternal life and the glory
which the Father gave to Him, that
the world may JLielleve and know, and
the secret of all Is In the last three
words of His prayer; "I in them." On
that last evening, if I have counted
correctly. He spoke of His Father or
to Ills Father over fifty times, remind
ing us that lie lived by the Father,
the IJvlug Father who had sent Him,
and He would have us live thus by
Him (John vt, 57). If redeemed by
His precious blood we are given to
Him by the Father and can look -up
and say "Our Father," and that should
deliver us from all care and anxiety
and lead us to say, as He did, "Even
so, Father, for so it seemeth good in
Thy sight" (Matt, vi, 25-33; xi, 26).
Being made children of God and joint
heirs with J cutis Christ, we must bo
content to suffer with Illm this little
while, according to Phil, i, 29; ill, 10,
but always looking onward to the
glory (Horn, vlll, 18; II Cor. lv, 17, 18).
Turning to our lesson chapter, wo
see Him going forth from the upper
room over the brook Cedron to the gar
den of Getbsrmune because of the re
bellion of His son Israel (Ex. lv, 2?;
Isa. 1. 2), and we think of David cross
ing the.same brook because of the re
bellion of his son (11 Slim, xv, 23, 30).
But David returned mid reigned, and
,so will the Son of David In due time.
David also seems to have written at
the betrayal by Judas in Ps. xll, 9,
and In Acts 1, 26, Peter says that Ps.
Ixix, 25, referred to Judak. Notice in
lesson verses 2-8 the power of the
great name I AM, and see how Just
two words from Illm sent the Itomau
soldiers to the ground, from which
they never would have risen again but
by Ills permission. See the greatness
of that name in Ex. 111, 14, 19. Note
the sword In the hand of Peter (verses
10, 11) and see his misusO of It, for
swords are not for disciples, else two
would not have been enough for twelve
(Luke xxil, 38, 50, 51). How often we
figuratively cut off people's cars, or, In
other words, prevent them from hear
lng'tlie voice of Jesus by our zeal or
lack of zeal or bungling of some sort!
We next sec Peter with the servants,
warming himstlf at their fire and then
denying that he knew the Lord (verses
15-18, 25-27). This Is the man who
said, "I/ml, I will lay down my life
for Thy sake" (xill, 37). lie meant
well, but did not know himself. He
was boastful, unwise, overzcalous, fol
lowed afar off and got Into bad com
pany. And there are so many like
him! If we warm ourselves at the
wanning places of the world we shall
surely gel into trouble. The only way
Is to follow fully and avoid all associ
ations where the Lord Jesus Is not
honored, unless by going here and
there we can magnify nim. What a
comfort It Is to us weak ones that th?
Lord loved Peter tlirouglj It all, prayea
for him. brought him true penitence
by that loViug. searching look, gave
lilui a special personal interview on
the resurrection day and later some
special words by the sea of Galilee.
In verses 12 to 11 we see Jesus allow
ing the soldiers to take Illm and bind
Illm and lead Him away lieeatise the
time hud come for Hlin to suiter. To
see Illm consenting to be led from one
to the other and be so 111 treated by
Annas, and ('alphas, and Herod, and
Pilate, ami *> patient before all, leav
ing UN an example of how we should
art as His representatives before nis
enemies and ours. Is something that
we should constantly consider (I Pet
11, 10-24; Ileb. xll. 3. 41. How grand
wan ills reply to the high priest when
asked concerning His teaching: "I
spake openly to the world. • • • In
secret have I said nothing. • • •

For a Big Corn Crop.
Progressive Farmer.
Corn is now retailing At $2 a
bushel thtd the shortage of wheat
makes it highly probable that corn
will be high next fall. 'The South
is well-fitted by soil and climatic
conditions to produce large crops
of corn, and this is the year of all
yean for making the biggest, crop
in our history.
First, let us plant the biggest
acreage we have ever planted.
There is still time to plant—in
fact, plantings made well into
June may, Vith fair weather ren
ditions, be expected to yield well.
All oat land not planted to le
gumes may well be put in corn,
and there are thousands of low
places that were too wet to plant
early that should be planted now
or later.
Second, fertilization and culti
vation should be as intensive as
possible. A quick acting nitro
genous fertilizer like nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia will
pay on millions of acres of our
poor uplands. No weeds or grass
should bo allowed to grow in the
corn field, and moisture should be
saved by a good dust mulch.
Corn will be the South's stand
by for bread for the next twelve
months; let us do our utmost to
make the biggest crop we have
ever made.

A mass-meeting in Salonica has

If America succeeds in stopping

invented it.
If the German government pro

The railroads intend to reduce

Organizing victory furnishes
work for everybody.
Keeping Germany in line for a
losing fight having become in
creasingly difficult, the official
newspapers at Berlin have now
discovered a secret treaty between
the United States and Great
Britain by which it is agreed that
the Germanic people who leave
the Fatherland are everywhere to
be absorbed into the hated Anglo-
Saxon race. As this sort of thing
has been going on for a hundred
years without any secret treaty,
we have in this discovery another
prcof of German efficiency.
The German Crown Prince is

A Barrel of Potatoes front A Single
Potato.
The "Junior Observer" who write#
interestingly in the Charlotte Oo
oerver, gives these details of the
plan:
"I was at Chester, S. C., and in
conversation with A. A. Lloyd, sec
retary of the chamber of commerce,
I learned there nre two methods ol
growing Irish potatoes by this
means. Kach requires a good
strong barrel, with rich earth, plen
ty of fertilizer and lots of watt Jr.
Mr. Lloyd's plan is to bore 2-inch
holes in the barrel to allow the
surplus water to escape, and also
to furnish needed air for the tubers
to 'make'. Then place a layer of
earth in the bottom of the barrel,
about a foot deep, and in this on;
single potato, uncut, is planted.
"As tne vine or plant from this
potato grows, the scheme is to con
tinue adding earth, and giving tne
whole plenty of water, applying the
fertilizer with each succeeding ad
dition of earth.
"Finally, says Mr. Lloyd, the plant
will reach the top of the barrel, af
ter which so further attention is
necOssary aside from applying wa
ter. When the vines die, which they
will do when the potatojs have
completed making, the barrel is al
lowed to stand for two weaks, af
ter which it is knocked to pi -ces,
and from one to two and a half
bushels of potatoes are found en
closed.
