Liberty Bonds. Last week we stated that both Graham and Alamance county liarl oversubscribed their allotments in Liberty Bonds. 1 Since then Gra ham has added, through the banks, $7,500.00 making the subscription sll3,2t)Crto this writing. The city of" Burlington is now largely oversubscribed its ailot ' ment. The county is working' for a , banner and it will get it. Graham's School Supt. to Leave. Last week the Trustees of tin City Schools of Burlington elected Prof. Chas. W. Rankin, who has been Superintendent of Graham Graded Schools for the past five years, to the of their schools to succeed Prof. King, who has resigned to enter war ser vice. Prof. Rankin ha 3 done ex ceedingly well here and has given excellent satisfaction to both pa trons and pupils. Burlington is getting a man who has proven himself equal to the task of school management in an unusual e. Graham's loss is Burlington's'.fain. We wish him continued success. Fannie Ward Beaten By Husband. In her newest Paramount picture at the Mexican Theatre, Saturday, April 20, Fannie Ward lias the novelty of having her own husband play the villain in the production. He not only steals her from her father, riding away with her thrown over his saddle, but lator on in 'the picture, beats her with gusto aud relish and testifies falsely against her in court. A happy ending — Fannie Ward securely married to another man and Jack Dean her "real" husband meeting his just deserts. Mill Employees Buy Bonds. Immediately after the noon hour Tuesday at the Oneida Cotton Mills,. Mr. Lynn B. Williamson, Secretary and Treasurer, called the employees together for a short talk, lie spoke to them about Liberty Houds and . t why they should buy. In a few minutes he had 67 apnlications for bonds aggregating 17,500 00. This morning Mr. Williamson went to Bellemont Cotton Mills and presented the matter to the employ ers there and the result was 35 subscriptions amounting to $5,000. This is going at the matter right and is an exhibiti in of patriotism on the part of all concerned that counts. School Meeting. A meeting is called of the patrons of Graham Graded School to be held in the court house next Monday night. See notice elsewhere. The purpose of the meeting is to get an expression of the people looking to making the school—good one that it is—a better school. In other words, the school must neither stand still nor go backward, but go forward. I Graham must have a school the equal j of the best. To have less would not be treating our girls and boys right; it would be gross Injustice. Let the meeting be largely attended. A gardenless back'yard is a slack er backyard.

Water Fills Trenches as Rain Soaks Troops. 'V On the night when tho big battle scenes i f "For the Freedom of the World," Ira M. Lowry's great war spectacle, were made, a tremendous downfall of rain occurred just at sunset aud continued for two hours The thousands of regular soldiers who were to man tho trenches were drenched to the skin, and their offi cers wanted the plans changed so they would not have to be exposed to the weather in their wet gar ments. Tho enthusiasm of the men for movie making was so great, however, that ihe picture was allowed to go oti, and at midnight, when the ac tual trench raid began, there was about three feet of water in each trench. Unconsciously, the actual conditions which the American Ie gion of the Canadian Army found when they reached the front line in Flanders had been reproduced.

ROCKWELL, Author of "Around the Year in the Garden," "Home Vegetable Gardening:," Gardener's Pocket Guide," Etc., Etc. FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR-PRODUCE IT! Article No. s,—Klrit Planting In the Open, (CopjilKhled by W. Atlce Ilurpoo Co., Seed U rowers, Pblla ). What to plant now and how to plant it to get the best resnlls. Naturally the first really warm spring days after the starts and relapses of March and early April, make tho long patient gardener in a harry to get busy Actually planting, and if he or sho happen lo be new recruits to the army of war gardeners it will seem all the harder to have to wait until con ditions are right to go ahead with the work. In his eagerness, however, the new gardeuer or inexperienced gardener is quite likely to overdo the matter. There are a few things which can go in just as soon as the ground can be forked up, but results with most tilings will bo much more certain if not as early if they aro held back until winter has made the counter attack which is pretty sure to bo deliver ed iu force alter"tho first reports that spring is "really here." Plant Only In Thoroughly Prepared Moll. Isut one should not bo in such a hurry oven with tho very early vegetables, as to plaut them be fore the soil is thoroughly pre pared. General directions for preparing and enriching the soil have already been given in a pre vious article in this newspaper. There remains work to be douo just before planting—the finish ing touches that will assuro suc cess or at lea a givo tho very best conditions for it. The vegetables for sowing in tho open from seed includo beets, cabbage, letttice; kohl rabi, onions, parsley, parsnips, salsify, turnips and also cabbage, cauliflower, celery and leeks to be transplanted laler on. Wrinkled pens, potatoes and cauliflower plants should not bo put in until the nights have moderated a littlo moro. While Ihey aro all vege tables which should be planted "earl}" they are not. .quite as handy as tho things mentioned above. \ Very careful preparations of tho seid bod is tho most important step in seed sowing. It is not enough to have the soil dug and raked and in general good condi tion. It should be prepared just before planting to instye a fresh thoroughly flue surface on which to sow tho seed—just as fine and level and smooth as you can make it by going over very carefully with a garden rake. If it is loft rough and lumpy not only will it bo impossible to sow the seed properly, but tho soil will dry out quickly on the surface and pre vent good germination, even at this time of the year when there shonld be plenty of moisture. Important as it is to have a sur face that is thoroughly prepared beforo doing any planting to in sure giving every seed a chance to germinate, there aro two other reasons almost equally important why the surface soil should bo given this extra thorough propa* ration immediately beforo plant ing. First of all, by so doing you will destroy millions of little weed seedlings which have started and aro just reaching the surface of the soil, not yet big enough to be noticeable but'at just the right stage to bo destroyed readily by a rake, when it would take hours of work with a hoe or hand weetlor to destroy Ihem a week or ten days later, liy raking tho surface over carefully just before plant ing, the vegetables seeds are given ti fair start in the race with weeds. On tho other hand if you plant in soil that was prepared a week or ten days before, the weed seeds have already got a start and aro bound to come along ahead of the vegetables and make the work of, keeping the garden clean that! much inor,o difficult. A second reason is that it is vitally important to break up and keep the soil lino on the surface as early as possible iu order that the moisture iu the soil may bo conserved for use by the plants iu dry weather. (•ft Tlir How* Mtr.lgbt. It, is not true that "vegetables will grow just as well iu acrooked row as iu a straight one," because in a straight row you can take lx*tter care of them especially if you use a wheel-hoe, than if they aro planted carelessly iu aiMin even row. , 11 1 . 11.- * 'II • *• I *' Pl»ii I 'or Planting VrgftiMr Crop*.

At this time of the year the ground Is likely to be too wet rather than too dry. Theiefore the seed should be sown compara tively shallow as compared to the same kind of seed that would be planted later on. Soil that is fairly dry should be well compact ed around the seed or tinned above the seed, wet soil should not be packed so closely that it will make a hard surface for tftie seed to come through. In using a seed drill test ue/ore you begin planting. Adjust it ac cording to scale, put in a few oi tho seeds you want to plan- and try it out on a board or other lilt surface where you can se t ' just how thickly the seed is dropping. Re member, you must test U for depth as well as lor dropping seed-not go ahead planting one thing after another with medium un.l large seeds, keeping tii • machine s"t tnv same depth, lisu a Hue and keep the rows straight. In small garueu* where seed have to be planted by'hand it pays to have a long wide fork kepi for this purpose. Set this in pace, mark out the drill along one edge ana distribute ■ lie seeds evenly nt the proper depth, cover evenly anu press down the row lightly with the lork. Beets.—Plants should be set ,',ut in rows a foot aparl, with about four plants to the foot. The seed should be sown in a dr..' soil, from hnli an inch to an filch in depth. Cabbage.—Well hardened plants .will withstand the cold. Most of the early planting should he of a lato variety. Make the rows si* to ten inches apart. Carrots.—Sow the seed thinly and cover very lightly with fine soil. Cauliflower.--Usually this should not be put out till a week or two after the cabbage. Broccoli is hardier. Lettuce.—Plants should be set a bout a foot apart each way, tho smaller varieties may be set closer. A little semi-liquid hen manure put under the plant will help produce rapid ,and large growth. Seed of summer varieties and one of lin early varieties should be sown as soon as the plants are set out or shortly after. These plants should thinned as soon as large enough. Gnions. A few setn should be put out to furnish au extra early sup ply. If large onions are wanted the set .thould be small and hard If green or bunched onions to eat raw are wanted site will not make much difference. The bed for the seed should be particularly well prepared, It is a good plan to mix a few raddish seeds with the onions as they come up quickly and serve as traps for the onion fly. Of the garnishes green onions are union/ the best. These are usually grown from Rets which were sown the year bcfor», and this is the best wav to get real curly ones fur .he 'a'le The sets ftn"W» as white or silverskln are quick grow ing and mild. For succession grow from the send. The flavor of a young onion grown quickly from the seed in rich, mallow soil is ex tremely delicate and far surpasses those grown from sets. There should be several sowings so you can use them when lh" bulbs arc the nl/.e of chestnuts. To grow onions the soil should be the richest possible; it will lie well to dig in the manure from the chicken house and the ashes from the wood fire.
