Fleming in establishing a wood yard ror the ben efit of the citizens of Louisburg is es pecially commendable . and should have the full undivided support and encouragement of all our citizens and also of all the people in the county who have wood to sell. In another j column will be seen his advertisement for 1000 cords of wood*- He informs us he will put this wood, or so much thereof as he can get on the faU grounds and cut it up ready for use and sell it to the people of Loyisbur^ at the aciual cost?of production. H > also says that he will give free use c * the fair grounds to any and all peep' from the country who wish to haul1 wood to town and store it until tlwy 1 have an opportunity to sell it. Pro vided, "however. that they do not make exorbitant charges therefor. The-use of the fa'.r grounds will of cciurse be entirely free to them. This movement is one that Louis*" ^burg is badly in need of and is all thr4 more commendable in an Individual, _pince tj>e town commissioners have fail^Kto make provisions for the ex fuig fuel conditions.

The sugar that goes to waste in the bottom of American teacups wo?ild help to sweeten. the life of many a French home. When sugar is craved, buy fruits in stead of candy, cream and soft drinks, It will be better for the body as well as being a patriotic act. Luke McLuke says that kissing de stroys the sense of smell. Likewise a sense of smell frequently interferes very seriously with kissing.

For. many weeks before Christmas the household is busy with needle, crochet hook and tatting shuttle, fash ioning Christmas gifts for family ^fpd , friends. But, there always are some belated gifts, that must be made dor* we would like to remember. 7 In such cases there is nothing more quickly or easily made than bags and aprons, and one never can have too i many of either. Laundry bags, stock ing bags, darning bags, piece bags and bags for soiled handkerchiefs can be n*ade of chintz or cretonne, and fancy work bags, purse bags, and handker* chief bags may be made of silk and ribbon; Several of these bagfTdan eas ily 'be made in an evening, and they are always acceptable gifts. And aprons?no woman ever .had too many aprons. A few yards of ging ham, percale and butcher's linen made up into aprons, which would*not re quire more than a day to make a good supply, would go a long ways as gifts to busy house mothers. And caps, also. At this time almost every woman wears some sort of cap when- ddlntf her house work, and a neat, washable cap makes an acceptable gift, and re quires little skill in the. making. And so with these practical and quickly made gifts one may be able to catch up with Christmas remembrances, even though belated until the last few days before Christmas.

Last Christian Ruler Was .German Emperor In 1244 A. I>? But Ills Domination Mas Soon Over thrown by. Turks. London, Dec. 10.?Andrew Bona* Law, Chancellor of the Exechequer, announced In the House of Commons today that Jerusalem, after being sur rounded on all sides by British troops, had surrendered. The capture of Jerusalem by the .orces marks the end. ?.or -Interludes, of more than 1,20'J years posesslon of the seat of the Christian religion by the Mohamme dans. For 673 years the Holy City ha3 been inundisputed ownership of the Turks, the last Christian ruler of Jer usalem being the German Emperor Frederick II whose, short-lived domi Hatloinasted from 1229 to 1244 A.. !>. Apart from Its connection with the campaign being waged against Turke marks the fall of the long protracte i efTort of the Turks to capture the Sue/, canal and overrun Egypt. It might be well to impress upon the people the fact that Mr. Hoover is merely a leader, a c&ptain, and in no sense the whole thing in this great campaign of conservation. He is hero to outline a course and blaze the way, but the people, the masses .whose- Itp terests are paramount, must 'consti tute the great motive power if success is to crown our efforts.
