THE SANFO Volume XXXII SANFORD, NORTH C. EXPRESS •INA, MARCH 22, 1918 Number 29 I p—®— Easter m l -After All! Many have said that “Spirit " will win this war! Munitions on a larger scale than ever known in history—battles employing more men than ever in the past have impressed many as a means to the end of the War. Thinkers say that the Nation or Nations whose spirit breaks first will lose the War and there is much to that. After all—Easter is Easter, and although the business of War goes on, the business of the civilian is to maintain a spirit of confidence and to show it in his every action —in bis attire—in his expression. We have prepared for Easter as unual—true, some of the fol de rols of the past are eliminated, but spruce, smart, manly style meets your gaze in every direction. Our Spring stocks invite your attention. Let Easter Morn find you clothed freshly and in tune with the High Art Clothes, I I I offer the same substantial service, the same fair price, the same distinctive style they always have offered. War-time economy and the maintenance of War time good spirit dictates your purchase of these clothes. STEIN BROTHERS. I » “THE HOUSE OF QUALITY” § CLOTHIERFURNISHERS andTAILORS LJ. JOSEPHS, Manager.

FIGHTING MORE ACTIVE. Russians Ratify Peace Treaty Japan and Siberia—News ol the War Zone. - With the rati fixation of th< treaty of peace with Germany, thh Soviet Congress in Moscow has dissolved, Bat the Germanl have not yet ceased their inroads into Enssia’s richest territory in the South. Nikolayev, the greal navy yard city northeast ol Odessa, and headquarters of the high command of the Russia! Black Sea fleet, lathe latest prize that has been wrested from the Russians. Situated at the month of the Bug river, the capture ol the town gives the Germans * water route of great value through the rich agricultural country from Volhynia to the Black Sea. Up to the last some of the ehiei members of the Soviet Congresi opposed the hard terms of the Germans, but to no avail. Warn ing was sounded by several ol them of a further German attacl and of the necessity of amalgam ating for resistance. Before adjournment the Congress ap; proved the removal of the capita' from Petrograd to Moscow and late dispatches say that the evacuation of Petrogad has beet completed. The message sent by iresiaeni Wilson to the Congress, in whict he expressed his sympathy will Russian people, was read at the opening session on Thursday night, It was received with marked enthusiasm and a reply embodying a rosolution' of ap' preciation was sent to the Amer ican people. But all the same the Congress ratified the peace treaty by a vote of 453 to 30, Japan and Siberia. No change in the situation it Siberia has been noted. As late as Saturday the Japanese,? ac cording to Premier Terarfiehi, had not decided what should' Jje done by Japan with regarchtc the menace of the BolshewSfi and the German elements fwh^ are aiding them in their reign td terror in Siberia. . While tlie'op* position party in Japan continues its efforts to prevent.tpe sending of troops to Siberia, .almost 'the entire press of the country favorj Japanese intervention, j-, * Fighting Inc&easIs.-4'1' i in the fightingactivityTln every theater, except Russia, the in fantry and artillery are hard at work. Prom the Noith Sea to the Swiss frontier no day passes without numerous 4 patrol” en counters, which at times reach the intensity almost of battles and artillery duels of violence but little short of the great ex change of shells which in the past year reached the high water mark in intensity. Probably the most ambitious of all the attempts by the bel ligerents to pierce an opposing line, has been made by the French troops over a wide front in the Verdun sector. The at tack was delivered after pre paratory artillery fire, lasting 10 hours, according to the Berlin war office, but was checked. That the fighting was of a san guinary character, is indicated by the statement that the troops came into hand-to-hand encount ers. It is claimed by Berlin that at another point in this region, that Germans penetrated French positions and captured 200 pris oners, including the staff of one battalion, At numerous points along the British front Field Marshal Haig’s men are under heavy bombardments from the Ger mans. On the American front near Toul the Americans are ever on the alert and frequently open up with their guns against German positions and compel the enemy to evacuate the sectors under fire. Posts occupied by snipers and listeners and nests of ma chine gunners recently have been effectively taken care of by the American gunners The Ger mans, however, are not permit ting the men from overseas to do all the shooting, for they themselves are at times putting the Americans under an extra ordinarily heavy artillery fire, in which explosive shells of large caliber and gas missiles areused. The Toul sector ap parently has been picked by the Germans as a favorite spot upon which to expend their noxious gases, although Luneville has not been forgotten by them in this respect, On the Austro-Italian front and in Macedonia there is also Increased activity. me stores were urowaeu wun people Saturday and the merchants had a very busy day. Many people oome quite a iiataooe to this plaoe by automobile to trade. Many farmers who own oars work till scon Saturday, cover a distance of 16 or 20 miles and return home by night. Automobiles and good roads are great time-saviors. We ask 'd one of our merchants who had a big trade Saturday if there was much money in circulation in this section. ‘Plenty of it," was the r«ply. The ilgh price of cotton and everything dse that is raised on the farm has put. nuoh money in circulation and enables ,ho farmer who raises things, to sell ,o pay the cash for what he buys. SEED CORN. parmerH Urged to Test Their Coru Before Planting. A late fall and an early and bard Pinter has contributed to an un condition in our seed corn, •itnciently so that I want to urge fir farmers to test their corn be PW planting to insure a full stand the first planting as the re cants do little more than make a it of fodder and cut down the \ mid materially. ; A few hours spent in testing the corn may be the most profitable “Ime spent on the crops this year, in wny instances the time has paid farmer $10 an hour. The rag l tester is the simplest and easiest testers and for the benefit of lose that have not seen one I will scribe them brietly. Get several yards of good firm loslin and cut into pieces a yard Mg and a foot wide. Five yards $f muslin will make fifteen testers, plough to test 240 ears of corn at |wie time. The pieces of muslin ;^toay be used several times if boiled thoroughly after using each time sc to kill mold spores. _ With a soft lead pencil mark ofl *wq rows of three-inch squares in Jhe middle of each piece to within lix inches of the ends. This can best fbe done by first making aline ex »ctly in the middle of the cloth and |paking two lines three inches from IbiM line on both sides of it. Crost marks every three inches will com plete the squares. There should b( Sliteeu squares on each tester. Thii Reaves a three-inch margin to folc fcter the squares after the corn ii maced on them, Number th< ■Quarts. Now number as many ears of ru as are to be tested at one time ij attaching a small piece of stiff taper bearing the number to the tts of the ears with a shingle il. If 240 ears are to be tested, he ears should of course be number d from one to 240. The same tags an be used for the next lot tested ‘nd as already stated, the same lotbs. * “ Pry out six grains from each ear, ginning near the butt and proceed bg spirally toward the tip. Pul t)ese grains on the square bearing he same number as the ear. Place he grains so that they do not touck aeh other. tt< Always wet the clotln wfore placing the grains, or it wil difficult to keep the grains ii each tester is filled, fob fj «' muslin down on the grains. Then roll each teste ap carefully, and tie securely wit 4 string. It has been suggested tha a cob be used to roll the testers oc Prepare all the “dolls” in the sam way and soak in water for severs hours- Wrap up in a heavy cotto Sack to keep them from drying ou and put in a warm place. Behin the kitchen stove is usually a prett good place, but put wherever th temperature is highest. Look at th testers every few days to Bee tin they do not dry out. After six or eight days, the cor will have sprouted. Unroll tt “dolls” carefully and note tt squares where the germination not perfect. Use only the ears whic give perfect germination as show bythe^rest. R. R. Mclver. Raise Poultry, Everybody In Lee county is urged join a poultry club.and raise as mar chlokens as possible this year. Tt government thinks that it is their p triotio duty to do this. It urges tt farmers who have not raised chlckei to stock their farmB this year wit flocks large enough at least to supp the needs of their own household It does not advise that the avera^ farmer eDgage in extensive raising < poultry, but warns against such a veD ure. But it sees no reason why ever farmer should not produce enoug chickens for his own use, and why nc * surplus to make chickens and egn Available to the general public t reasonable prices and in such quant ties that there will be markedly let domestic demand for the meats tha are needed abroad and that can b transported there. More chickens and more eggs wii release more meat for our armies an the allies. They can not get our chick cos and eggs—we can and like to sa them. Poultry can be Increased mur rkpily and more economically than an; of the meat animals. Every one should join the pultr; clubs and have the children to do so that we may soon see the standard o bred flocks on every farm, handled in i particular business-like way The gov eminent will assist you in every pos slble way and send you literature art Instructions that any one can apply Allen G Olllver, Scientific Assistant li Poultry Husbandry in charge of Poul try Clubs for North Carolina, will visit Cee county the first week in April tc talk to our people about raising poul try, several negroes were before Mayor Cross Tuesday night charged with fighting and creating a disturbance.
