WAR-SAVINGS STAMPS THE ROAN OK E NEWS i Thursday, June 27, 1918. NOTICE. There will be a regular convoca tion of Roanoke Chapter 81 R. A. M. in Masonic Hall, every first and third Wednesday evenings.

A counterfeit ten dollar bill is afloat. Said to be hard to detect. We have no fears on our pari don't handle that size denomina tion. News has been received from Messrs. Pierce Johnson, Allen Zol licotter and W. T. Shaw, Jr., that they have landed safely on the "other side." Miss Jennie W. Tilghman, who holds an important position with the Virginia National Bank of Pe tersburg, Va., is spending her va cation at home with relatives.. One of our local secret societies has the following motto which it would be well for all of us to have framed and hang in a conspicuous place in our homes : "There is so much bad in the best of us, and so much good tn the worst of us, it hardly behooves any of us to speak ill of the rest of us." If, perchance, a copy of this pa per should fall into the hands of any who are in search of a new location a place where you can live out your allotted, number of years without the fear of pestilence or famine, we say, like one of old, "Come thou with us and we will do you good," with emphasis on the "do." Don't Be a Chump. Give your trade to the merchants who keep store the year round. Buy of the man who stands at your side st the isx collector's counter. Buy of the man who is your neighbor, your acquaintance, your mend. Buy of the man who is a factor in the town you live in, who helps to make a market for the things you have to sell. Buy of the home merchant that ' advertises in the newspaper. Show Us the Man. The most useful, the most reliable and the most profitable of all domestic things are the cow and the hen, whose products are always salable and always usable by the family You show us a man who takes good care of a dairy or one who gives his poultry intelligent care, and we will show you a man who runs no store bill and keeps square with the world, Keep the Boys on the Farm. One good way to keep the boys on the farm is lo keep the girls there also. We tire of reading about "How to keep the boys on the farm." Treat the boys right and they will not leave the farm Some boys will be benefited by leaving the farm; others will be better to slay. It depends on the boy and the advantages he has, Swat the Fly. If you started swatting the fly early in ihe spring, ihis is no time lo relax your pari in that war for the babies, now is a good time to enlist. I he tly is one of ihe greatest enemies to man kind in the temperate zone. He is an enemy which breeds in filth, and carries filth wherever he goes. The way to defeat him is lo cover and disinfeci all garbage and stable liner, screen all food, and then stand ready with a flapper. Advertised Letters. The following is a list of letters remain ing "uncalled for" in the Weldon postoffice : Eddie Eppes, Mrs. J. M, Medlin, Willie Smith, Robert Tysinger. Persons calling for above letters will please say "advertised," giv ing date of advertising. D. T. Clark, P. M., Weldon, N. C June 24. 1918. A. & E. College. The adver tisement of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering appears in this issue. Technical education has proved its worth not merely to those who pos sess it, but to communities and to the public good. It is that form of education which while training the mind to think teaches the hand to do. The college offers four year courses in Agriculture, Agri cultural Chemistry, Chemical En gineering, Civil Engineering, Me chanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Textile Industry. Some Things He Cannot Do. Man has done wonders since he came before the public. He has navigated the ocean, he has pene trated the mysteries of ihe starry heavens, he has harnessed the lightning and made it pull street cars and light the great cities of the world. But he can't rind a spool of red thread in his wife's work basket; he can't discover her pocket in a dress hanging in a closet; he can't hang out clothes and get them on the line the right side up. He cannot hold clothes pins in his mouth while he is doing ii, either. He cannot be polite to somebody he haies. He cannot sit in a rocking chair without bang ing the rockers into the baste boards. He cannot put the tidy on the sofa pillow right side out, He cannot sew on a button. In short, he cannot do a hundred things that women do almost in stinctively. There are many kinds of foolish ness, but the meanest kind is selfishness, "Over There." Of the young men who have answered the call to the colors from Weldon nine are known to be at this lime in France. From these cheerful and hopeful letters are being received and they give glowing accounts of their re ception, treatment, etc., by the French people. May the land of Lafayette soon be rid of the op pressor and "our boys" once more on American soil is our earnest desire. Took His Hide Oi k A farm er near town recently hired a lad lo help him do chores. One morn ing he told him to take some suit and salt a calf out in the pasture. The boy look a quart of salt with him and thoroughly rubbed it all over the calf, working ii into the hair. A gang of colis in the pas ture scented the salt and got after the calf. They licked all the hair oft' the calf and nearly took the hide off loo. Coming Nearer Our Own Doors. Day by day we realize that the great world war is coming nearer our own doors, and this is more forcibly impressed as we read in the casualty list of June 23, as severely wounded in France the name of Charles Barkley, of Rosemary. This is the first name from Halifax county to appear in this list and we trust the young man may recover and soon be able to come home for a complete res toration but we may expect other names to follow as we have many gallant men already on the fighting line and others on the way. This should induce us lo rally to the purchase of War Savings Stamps during this week's drive and so help in caring for these friends of ours in a far away land who are "giving all" for a victory of right and truth. Hints for Wives. Perchance you think that your husband's dis position is much changed; that he is no longer the sweet-iempered lover he used to be. This may be a mistake. Consider his strug gle with the world his everlasting race with busy compeiiiion of trade. What is ii that makes him so eager in the pursuit of gain so energetic by day, so sleepless by night but hislove of home, wife and children, and a dread that their responsibility according to (he light in which he has conceived it, may be encroach ed upon by the strife of existence, This is ihe true secret of thai silent care which preys upon the hearts of many men; and true it is, thai when love is least apparent, it is nevertheless the active principle which animates the heart, though fears and disappointments make up a cloud which obscures the warmer element. As above the clouds there is a glorious sunshine while below are showers and gloom, so with ihe conduct of man behind the gloom of anxiety there is a bright fountain of high and noble feeling. Thinking of this in those moments when clouds seem to lower upon your domestic peace and by tempering your con duct accordingly, the gloom will soon pass away and warmth and brightness take its place. Mind Your Own Business. Tearing another's character to pieces will not help yours no mat ter how dirty the other man's may be. Pointing out the weeds in your neighbor's yard will not make those in your own yard more beau tiful. The white cottage and the brown mansion each hide trouble from the world. People talk and know not whereof they speak They retail slander to show how foul is the dish most palatable to them. Let us walk straight along Let us each mind our own business and we will never be out of em ployment. RED CROSS NEWS. BY MRS. WM. L. KNIGHT. Your War Fund is due the 29th Please see Mr. R. S. Travis at the Weldon Bank and Trust Co. The work room of the Red Cross Is open every Tuesday and Friday each week. Have you been working for the Red Cross? If not begin NOW.

WELDON 33 YEARS AGO. From The Roanoke News, 18, 1885. June Mr. A. J. Campbell.of the Frank lin, (Va.) Times, spent last Sunday in town. Mrs. T. L. Entry and Masier Charles left for ihe Virginia moun tains and springs last Friday. Miss Helen R. Morecock, of this county, is visiting relatives in Wilson. Miss Lillie and Masier Raleigh Daniel relumed home from Wake Forest last week, where ihcy have been unending school. MM Bob Johnson, colored, a brakes man on a freight train of the W. & W. Railroad fell off a car lasi week while the train was in mo tion and had his foot severely mashed. Mr. George Onslow, the efficient manager of the telegraph office here, left Monday for Darlingion, S. C, where he will remain, hav- ng been promoted to a more prof itable place. Mr. Dunn, of Gor donville, Va., has taken charge of the office at this place. The June term of the Inferior court convened on Monday. Col. F. M. Parker qualified as one of the justices and took his seat on the bench. A Halifax County Young Man. -At Wake Forest commence ment Mr. W. C. Allen, of this county, delivered an oration on 'Hero Worship," which was high ly complimented He was also ihe recipient of awards of merit in Greek language and literature, menial and moral science, logic and rhetoric, physics, astronomy and chemistry and took the degree of A. B. MM Horse Lost. While Mr. C. Bishop was plowing a few days ago at his home near here his horse became frightened and ran away. He reached the river and ran some distance along the bank and became entangled in the gear and fell into the river and was drowned. During the storm last week a large tree was blown down upon Mr. Bishop's stable com pletely demolishing the building but Fortunately neither of his horses were in at the lime. A Tame Moccasin. In the town of Halifax, about a month i, from a well on the premises of Capt. Carraway, was drawn up in the well bucket a live snake, of the Moccasin species, about a foot and a half long. By some means the life of the linle snake was pre served, and it seems, well cared for and petted. It continues to thrive and has developed wonder fully, physically and menially. Its disposition is kind and tractable readily taking its food, insects, from the willing hands of its bene factors and instructors, the little children. In all their plays and frolics, his snakeship can be seen occupying a prominent und envia ble position, along with ihe doll, kitten and baby house the syno nyms of childhood. Ii is to be hoped that the novel pet will live out iis allotted days wiih love and gratitude for its preservers and will not, as did sop, turn and siing the hand who befriended it. A New Club Organized. Last Wednesday afternoon Miss Bessie Owen entertained about twenty-five or her girl friends at her home on Fourth street, at which time an Eight Weeks Club was organized by Misses Londa Shamburger, Bessie Owen and Lillie Shaw. The object of the club is, for the betterment of the community, along civic, social, educational, moral and spiritual lines. The club will also do Red Cross and other patriotic work.
