OWNERS of FORD cars are advised to bo cautious of "counterfeit" or parts
not made by the Ford Motor Company. If your car needs adjustment, or
repairing, take it to the authorized FORD dealer in Weldon, where you will
find a reliable station, with the complete mechanical equipment and the neces
sary tools to give the highest quality FORD service obtainable for the stand
ard FORD prices.
11 All the FORD parts used by FORD dealers are manufactured and supplied
by the Ford Motor Company. If your car requires the replacement of any
part or parts, is in need of 'repairs, don't experiment; don't waste time and
money trying to "do it yourself." It is one thing to understand and operate a
car; it is another thing to make reliable repairs to a car. When anything is
wrong with yonr FORD make a "bee line" or telephone us, the authorized
FORD dealer. We are ready to give you prompt attention. So take your
FORD car where satisfaction and economy are sure.j

A man will work all day in the
hot sun and not mind it much, but
to stand idle in the hot sun for an
hour is torture. This should be
remembered when we tie our
horses to a post while we do our
trading in town. Horses have
feelings as well as persons.

Let All the People Pray -

bell at the Episcopal church ring.
Do you know what that means?
Well, it is just this, when you hear
the bell, whatever you may be Jo
ng at the lime, stop a moment and
uner a prayer. What a beaunlul
custom this is. Don't forget to
listen for the tap ol the bell, and
may every man, woman and child
in our town form the habit of utter-
ng a prayer just this time.
A. & E. College. We have
received a copy of the catalogue of
North Carolina Slate College of
Agriculture and liiigiiieeiiiig at
West Kaleigh. That great techni

That Old Swimming Hole.
This is the season when grim death
claims many of its victims through
the medium of drowning. The
news of the day is interspersed
with accounts of people having lost
their lives in water, and the larger
per cent of the victims are those
who sought refreshment in a bath.
Year after year these fatalities oc
cur and the numbers being contin
ually on the increase. A whole
some restraint on the pan of the
parents and guardians would un
doubtedly result in the saving of
lives.
The Way to Build Up a
Town. The only way to build up
a town is for everyone to go hand
in hand every man to the wheel.
Banish all feelings of discord, if
any; let harmony prevail and pros
perity will follow. Talk about
your town, write about it, speak
well of it, encourage your men at
the head of municipal affairs; choke
the croakers, gag the grumblers
and squelch the scolders. Beauti
fy the streets in every way, patron
ize its merchants, refrain from
sending outside for goods, favor
home enterprises always, and if
you can't think of some good word
to say, keep quiet. Be a hustler
and keep it up.
Free Advertising. When a
newspaper gives a lot of free ad
vertising in order to boom some
concert or church entertainment
which you are interested in, keep
track of the number of lines that
are printed week by week, and
multiply that number by the regu
lar advertising rates of the paper.
Compare the results with the ac
tual money value of any Favor that
you can get from any other busi
ness concern. Then take into con
sideration the fact that advertising
and circulation are the only two
things that a newspaper has to sell,
and these days of higher prices,
how much do you think they ought
to give away for nothing?

you know that the Kaiser had a
poison-filled abscess in his ear, and
that if it burst he would be a rav

Did you know that the Kaiser's

his right, and that the hand is pu

know how he carried it in order to
disguise the deformity ?
Did you know that the Kaiser
has a mama for admiring beautiful
hands, which greatly embarrasses
the ladies of his court? That he
wears many bracelets and femi
nine rings, copied from those he
admires? That he has 360 full
dress uniforms, that he was twice

for Nitrate of Soda from the Gov
ernment, I am giving a copy of a
letter that I received from Mr. C.
J. Brand, Chief Bureau of Mar
kets, of Washington, D. C, who
has charge of the distribution of
the soda, which is as follows:
N. B. Stevens, County Agent,
Enfield, N. C.
I have your letter of June 3rd,
relative to nitrate of soda.
At the present time, the Depart
ment has available for distribution
in North Carolina about 45 per
cent of the total quantity of nitrate
of soda applied for. This, of
course, includes the nitrate that
has already been delivered.
Il is possible that we will have
another cargo of nitrate of soda
around July 1st, from which a
small shipment can be made you
but this will arrive very late and it
is possible that it cannot be used
at that time. This however is very
indefinite and we cannot make any
definite statement regarding il.
The 45 per cent, referred to above,
however, is nitrate thai is now in
Wilmington being distributed and
shipment will begin immediately.

( DY DR. W. C. LUCAS. )
What drives the men right np to the

roil blood Unit "puts the lieurt" in the
men. J lid any one ever see a puny, thin
blooded man ever rmh into the light witti
any chance of winning out ? With rich,
pure blood you can face any hardship,
reach any goal. But yon are handi
capped in the race of life without it.
Every tissue, bone, muscle, Bhould take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps
the face breaks out in pimples, or boils
appear on the neck, and we feel languid,
tired, our vitality is at a low ebb, and
we easily catch cold.
It h ttme to take an alterative extract
and blood-pnrilier, taken from Nature's
fiireels. Such a one is made up of

Atlanta, Ga' Dr. Jacobson said
in a recent interview that 90 per
cent, ol enentia comes from nerv
ous breakdown which can only be
corrected by supplying the neces
sary phosphates to the nervous
system that is lacking in ihe food
you eat, and this can be quickly
supplied by taking one or two 5
grain Argo-Phosphate Tablets after
each meal, and at bed time. It will
in many cases make a pale, scraw
ncy face :hc picture of licaMi, in a
few days. 1 have seen women
that I expected would have 10 be
kept under treatment for months
restored to pet feci health in one or
two weeks time.
SpeclarNotice.-The Argo-Phosphate
recommended by Dr. F. H.
Jacobson contains phosphates such
as are prescribed by leading physi
cians throughout the world, and it
will be found the most effective
form for treating patients with
Nervous Dyspepsia, Stomach trou
