dealt the Germans by the Allies.
Speaking of the part of the women
during wars he said they are the
ones who suffer more than the men on
the battlefields. He gave the credit to
theyRuxlllary as being the greatest
pefte organisation in the world to
day!' It's not the man who has been
oh the battle fields who wants war,
only those who expect to gain finan
cially. He stated that the American
Legion believes that the proper way
to prevent war is to' be prepared for
It. In onr anxiety to reduce our de.
fen Be, he wanted to know if we wish,
ed to measure the blood of yoang
America by the' dollar it would take
to provide the drfenae. He said td
teach that war should be avoided as
far as possible It wisdom, but to teach
that war should be avoided at any
cost is criminal. To give service to
the unfortunate ex-service man is
one of the supreme objects of the

they are doing If It were possible for
those who were left In, France to

timony of their pleasure and rejoice.

-arrested In Loulahurg Tuesday about
ko'clock by Deputy Sheriff W. N.

I Quite a lot of excitement waa aroua
ed when a negro man ran from the
First National Bank andr cries to
I catch him were heard. All kinds of
rumors were afloat and In a few min
utes the streets were full of people.
Many thought the bank had been rob
bed, but it ?a| learned that the man
had attempted to cash a check to
which the name of Baldy Wilson was
signed for |200 and upon being qiiee
ttoned too closely by Assistant Cash
ier JW. B. Barrow he broke to run,
and a call to catch him was girew.
As a result a number of officers aad
citizens gare chase and he was finally
caught near the river back of the
college by Mr. Roscoe Anthony ef
High Point, who turned htm oyer to
Deputy Fuller, who also was almost1
in reach of the negro when he was

LOUISBURG GROCERY CO. ROBBED
Wednesday morning when the Lou.
isburg Grocery Co., bne of Lotfis
burg's wholesale establishments was
opened up it was learned that some
time during the night thieves had
entered and robbed the place. En.
trancewas made through one of the
doors on the side track of the Sea.
board and a suit of overalls and
three cartoons of smoking tobacco
were found on the outside where
they had dropped or lost. Evidently
the job was done by one who knew
all about the building as the door
had been previously arranged, and it
was thought it had been made fast.
The robbers filed a link in the chain
with which the door was locked and
entered. Among the things stolen
was a box of ladies silk hose.
As a result of a search warrant
Fred Burwell, a negro helper at the
store, wd# arrested and) locked in
jail, as was also Johnnie Ruffin, who
are held for further investigation. A
tire was found at Burwell's that gave
evidence of having been taken from
the store but when the officers re
turned for the tire It had been re.
moved and hid.
There is no means of knowing yet
as to the amount of goods that were
stolen.
CLEAN TOBACCO SEED
One of the surest ways to Increase
the yield and quality of tobacco is
to plant heavy, plump, fully matured
seed. Due to the fact that tobacco
seed are so small, the cleaning and
grading of these seed is impossible
without special equipment. A tobac
co seed cleaner and grader has been
added to the .equinment of the Agri
cultural Department of the Gold Sand
and Edward Best High Schools. The
device belongs Jointly to the two
schools^ Although the cleaner was
completed too late to be of service to
a large number of tobaeco growers,
any farmer In Franklin county who
has tobacco seed to be cleaned and
graded can have this done free of
charge by the agricultural depart*
ments of these two schools
