THE PEOLE MUST BULB.
It is but trite to ear that the
most exciting pagee in the his
tory of the world are now being
written In blood and tears. Con
an Doyle may write a new Sher
look Holmes story and Collier’s
may illustrate it, as that paper
did last week, but that story is
not half so absorbing as the sim
ple narrative of how Walter
Greenway became one of the he
roes of the war. Rach day be
fore the eyes of the reader is
spread a new chapter oi the
story of the war. And not in'
freqnntly in the same paper one
reads of acts so fine that he is
lifted np spiritually and of crimei

will lose hi* faith in hnmanity i
’ he stops long to think. For In
stance, who is not thrilled whei
he reads about Private Wilsoi
of the Highland Infantry, whi
captured, single-handed and ii
the face of a galling lire, a ma
chine gun from the Germans
This same Scotch boy had stooi
in a trench for three days wit]
water up to his chin and onl;
two crackers to eat. Or, com
ing nearer home, who is not i
little prouder that he is an Amer
lean when he reads the story o
how young Gordon Edward
made it passible to dress thi
wounds of soldiers without giv
ing pain? This young American
through his willingness to sacri
rice everything, has made foi
himself a name that will go ring
ing down the ages. One cannoi
read the story of Edwards’ dis
covery without coming to the
conclusion that he was inspired
by God.
But over against these deeds
Of heroic achievement and many
others that history will record is
the story of the march of the
German army through Belgium.
Oh, that march! It is the sad
est story told since that of the
Crucifixion. Death and slaugh
ter of the innocents, suffering be
yond conception make up a story
so sanguinary and cruel and re
volting that in later years amaze
ment will be felt that such things
could happen in the twentieth
century of civilization and prog
ress.
This war is a story stained
- f'fifl*1 spd tears and unpar
allefeif Suffering, but it marks
the progress of a new. great
world-movement for the better
ment of mankind, for the depo
sition of the despots and the
transformation of oligarchies
ruled by a few, into magnificent
republics ruled by the many.
This wonderful page of history,
this record of events surpassing
all fiction, will stand immortal.
Those who live in this won
derful age of the world’s history
will have something to remem
her. It is an experience never
to be forgotten. Follow the story
from day to day and bear in mind
that the most impressive lesson
it teaches is that the people must
... and shall rule.
A Robeson count; farmer was
among the first to make applica
tion tor a loan when Uncle Sam
made It possible for farmers tc
borrow money at a low rate ol
interest with plenty of time in
which to pay it and without
danger of foreclosure. He did
not ask for a large sum—unlj
$800—but for him it meant a
home and a farm of his own foi
life. Last spring he decided tc
diversity, and so he planted a
little tobacco as well as cotton.
He only planted three and a hall
acres bnt this was well fertilized
and carefully cultivated. From
this little field he secured enougb
of tobacco to bring $1,600 at a
Fairmont warehouse. His total
expenses for all purposes be es
timated at about $400. He had
more than a thousand dollars
to the good and the first thing
he did was to pay off that mort
gage. We get this story from the
Lumberton Robesonian. That
paper says the appraiser from
the federal farm loan bank at
Columbia was in Robeson the
other day to assess tbe valuation
of the different farms on which
loans were to be advanced, and
this farmer was able to say he did
not need any money, and more
than that, had money in tbe
bank, even though he had not
sold his cotton. The cotton crop
is not good this year and had
this man oonfined himself to rais
ing the fleecy staple for a money
crop he would not have been able
to cancel that mortgage. It pays
to diversify.

CHILDREN AND THE WAR.
They Can Do a Part by Joining
the Junior Red Cross—How
the Poor Children of Europe
Are Helping.
President Wilson has issued a
proclamation calling upon the
school children of the nation to
do their part in the war by join
ing the Junior Red Cross to as
sist in the mercy work of the
senior organization. The Presi
dent says the children’s branch
of the Red Cross will give an op
portunity for relief work for the
benefit of both the community
and country; will teach how to
save in order that suffering chil
dren elsewhere may have the
chance to live, and will make
possible “the best work in the
great cause of freedom to which
we have all pledged ourselves.”
In this connection it is interest
ing to enquire what part the chil
dren of Europe are playing in
the war. In most of the countries
all of the able-bodied workers
have been called to the colors;
only the very old men, the wo
' men and the boys and girls have
■ been left behind. In every eoun
• try, we are told, the children
, have shown the same unselfish,
L whole-hearted patriotism that
their elders have shown. The
1 desire to help the motherland has
> possessed me cmiaren oi an
• classes and peoples.
> In this country the average
I child does not know what hard
work is. Our children are pro
1 tected by State and Federal laws
' and know what the joys of child
■ hood are. But with their cousins
, across the sea it is different. Id
a sense most of the European
| poor, including the entire pro
letariat, never know real chUd
i hood, for almost as soon as they
: are able to walk they begin to
, work. When the war came the
artisan and peasant children of
Europe, with a sfense of responsi
bility and an appreciation far be
yond their years, took hold like
grown men and women, and are
today greatly helping, to keep
economic conditions in the dif
ferent countries as near the nor
mal as posssible.
As a result of this war the
average family in Europe is to
day experiencing a degree of
poverty and want that is heart
rending to read about. If we are
to believe hall of what we see in
print we must conclude that life
for these people is ten fold harder
than the lot which fell to the
Southern people in the last days
of the Civil War. But the aver
age family in Europe has never
had smooth sailing. Id the days
previous to war the hours for
play among children were few
and far between. An account
says that ‘even then all the mem
bers of the family had to work
from sunrise or earlier, until they
went to bed at qigbt.” Even the
work of the smallest children was
not despised.
As a result of that habit of in
dustry and discipline, which, with
s strong body and a fairly shrewd
mind, is the birthright of most of
the children of the poor of Con
tinental Europe, they were able
to assume, when the war broke
out, responsibilities beyond any
thing they had ever dreamed of
before. Yet even so the results
have been remarkable, and too
much praise cannot be given them
for what they have done and
tried to do.
Here in America we need to
marshal all our forces in order
that we may prosecute this war
with the utmost vigor and bring
about an early and lasting peace.
The President’s appeal to the
children is timely, and if they,
under the leadership of the teach
era, will organize and get to work
they can do much for suffering
children elsewhere, and will make
possible the “best work in the
great cause of freedom to which
we have all pledged ourselves.”
Let us organize the school chil
dren of Lee county.
Teaeher.
Daring the last week Congress
sent the $11,588,000,000 bond bill
to the President. These figures
surpass the powers of the mind
to grasp. The interest on the
bonds is greater than the entire
running expenses of the Govern
ment less than half a century
ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the
Government for at least ten years
on the basis of the annual ex
penditures for the past decade
Another cheerful way of looking
at the situation is that, great as
the bond bill is, the wealth of
the United States is such that it
amounts to only about one dollar
out of every fifty of our tangible
resources.
North Carolina occupies rather
an unenviable notoriety just now.
On the 29th of August Mrs.
Maude A. King, a wealthy widow
of New York and Chicago, was
shot to death near Concord. The
coroner’s jury decided that her
death was the result of accident
al shooting. But this verdict did
not satisfy the friends of the
dead woman, and the case was.
reopened last Monday for fur
ther investigation, and as a result
Gaston B. Means is in jail await
ing trial. At this distance it
looks like they are weaving a
web around Means from it will
be difficult for him to escape.
The Unfverslty News Letter,
with an eye for facts of vital in
terest, says that in 1918 county
government in the State was
nearly $7,000,000, or more than
twice the cost of State govern
ment, and the bonded debt' piled
up by county authorities is only
a little leas than the bended debt
of the State. And yet the aver
age eitisen takes no interest in
what goes on in a meeting of the
county commissioners; No won
der we have so many tax-dodgers
in this State,
THB FOOD 8UBVEY.
A Comprehensive Record of the
American Family's Weekly Di
et Under Way.
What is said to be the first com
prehensive record of the Nation's
diot, from by far the largest num
ber of individual household pan
tries, is now under way, througt
the cooperation of the America!
housewife She is telling wha
ner family has on hand on a givei
date, what it needs to eat for s
week, and what its monthly ratiot
is. This she is doing to hell
along the war emergency foot
survey now being conducted bj
the United States Department o
Agriculture.
ENLIST SERVICE OP 10,000.
An army of 10,000 women is
enlisted in the work, and to eact
has been sent a letter from tht
department together with blank:
for the inventory of food on hanc
and for the record of a week':
total of food used by the family
President Wilson, in approving
the plans of the Secretary o
Agriculture for the survey, saic
that "authoritative informalior
concerning the Nation's food sup
ply is a matter of consequence a:
all times and is of peculiar lm
portance at the present moment."
All who are assisting the depart
ment in making the survey an
rendering valuable patriotic ser
vice, It is felt that the mven
tories of stocks on farms, in stor
ages, and in retail establishments,
which are also being taken ai
this time, will be understandable
onlv in rplfttinn fcr* the
food consumption.
i WHAT IS LISTED.
"The inventory is oi all stocks
on hand on the pantry shelves,
in the storage bin, the refriger
ator, or the kitchen cabinet. This
is accompanied by a list of the
mem bers of the f ami ly, their ages,
and occupations.
There is also a weekly record
of meals served to home folks
and to guests, with the kinds and
quantities used. These include
the foods used from the house
hold stocks and those produced
at home, from the home garden
for example, as well as those
purchased. Mothers are also
asked to report the candy, cakes,
and ice cream which are bought
and eaten in addition to the reg
ular meals. This will probably
require Cooperation on the part
of the children wllo have pennies
to spend.
Fifty-four items are included
in the records of food on hand,
although it is not supposed that
any family will have an entry
under eacn one of the 54 classifi
cations. Tner.lasmtical.mna Ihpni.
selves are further subdivided, as
in the case of fresh meats, salted
meats, bakery products, fresh
vegetables, and the like, under
which separate items are to be
listed, For example, under fresh
meat would be listed pork, veal,
lamb, beef, and so on. The same
record of food consumed in a
week.
THE FAMILY RECORD.
In the family record the name
and address of the family is given,
but not for publication^' Each
housewife will tell whether the
family lives in the city or Coun
try and will give the total family
income. She then lists the mem
bers of the household by sex and
sge and occupation, and will tell
the number of meals which they
eat at home and those which they
may eat away from home during
the week in which the record is
kept. Meals prepared at home
but eaten elsewhere, such as
lunches taken to work, are con
sidered home meals. W here there
are children in the family the
approximate quantity of milk
used daily by each of the chil
dren under 7 years of age is alsc
recorded.
Vuele 8am |g Some Buyer ol Food
Concord Times.
This war has made Uncle 8am
the largest buyer of food in. all
the country. The statement ha*
been made that the board bill ol
our soldiers is $800,000 a day.
According to the best reports we
will soon have two million met
under arms, and it costs forty
cents a day to feed them. It must
be remembered, too, that these
men, who were former producers,
are now only consumers. Mr.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the National Pood Garden
Commission, gives these facts
which will be of much interest:
f am told that the reserve
stock of foodstuffs at each camp
is $125,000 and there are 33 camps
in the country today. That means
that food valued at $4,125,000 is
taken out of the regular channels
of trade. These figures give but
an idea of the need of food cod
servation on the part of the indi
vidual at this time. The National
Emergency Pood Garden Com
mission urges every Soldier ol
the Soil to at once promote him
self to a Colonel of Conservation
and store and can food as never
before.
. “Germany reports that its war
gardens produced more this year
than any year since the war
started. This shows the value
of experience. We have had one
year’s expet fence and have raised
$50,000,000 worth of produce hi
our war gardens. , Next year we
will do even better. We will
then have more war gardens and
the average product of each will
be larger. “Housewives of this
country Ibis year have preserved
end canned at least 460,000,000
jars of vegetables and fruits.
Next year, profiting by their ex
perience of this year, they will
can, I believe, mill ions more, and
more will be needed, for 1 wish
to emphasise now the fact that
there will be a greater demand
for food exportation next year
than there has ever been before,
tod we most fill this demand.”
