The beautiful custom of decorating the graves of the Confed erate soldiers with flowers will be ob served by the Daughters of the Con federacy in many places In the State. While there is no Confederate cemetery In this county, yet there are Confeder ate soldiers buried in other cemeteries. It would be nice to decorate their graves with flowersi The Express is informed that the prospect for fe good wheat crop in Chat ham county is finer than it has been in ten years. There is also a splendid prospect for wheat in Lee county. The wet weather during April produoed ' the stalk. It takes a dry May to pro duce the well developed head. As the acreage is larger in this county than ever before a good yield would mean a -'"Dr. C. W. Wicker, of Elon College, Grand Prelate of the Grand Command ry of the Knights Templar and Grand Lecturer of the Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of the State, was here the first of the week and left Tues day for Southern Pines, where, that night he attended a meeting of the Grand Chapter. He preached a ser mon before the Grand Commandry in the Congregational Church on Wednes day night; Lee Superior Court met and adjourn ed the same day. Judge H. W. Whed bee was present and convened court Monday morning. Solicitor Siler was al so present and ready for business. A divorce case wao called, tried and the divorce granted. This was the only case tried. As it i& a very busy time with the farmers, and as a numb, r of the jurymen are farmers, Judge Whed bee decided to adjourn court so that they could go home and work in their crops. The judge left for his hhme in the afternoon. of Philadelphia, has purchased 1,800 acres of iand in Chatham county aud will develop there one of the largest stock farms in the State. Already sev eral carloads of cattle from the West ern markets have been shipped to Chatham county for the farm. Chat ham Is one of the best grain and grass growing counties in the State and there Is no reason why stock ralslug should not be one of the chief industries of the county. Stock raising could also be made a success la Lee county if our farmers would devote their energies to raising more grass, clover and small grain. Memorial Day will be fittingly ob served at Cool Springs church Satur day before the third Sunday, May 18. The sermon will be preached at 11 o’clock by the pastor, Rev. Walter M. Gilmore.

Friends are requested to bring flowers with which to decorate the graves. Those who have loved ones or friends buried in the cemetery are requested to meet at the church Thursday morn ing, May 16, for the purpose of clean ing off the cemetery and making ready'for the service Saturday. Citizens of Lee county have made liberal investments in Liberty Loan Bonds, Thrift and War Stamps to as sist the government lu prosecuting the war. However, there are others who are able to help, but who hare not In vested a cent in Liberty Bonds or War Stamps. Mr. Henry Page, State Food Adminletrator, who spoke at Jonesboro 4ast Saaturday, puts the citizen who re fuses to help his government at a time like this, In the slacker class. He predloted that before the war ended ill the surplus money in this country and even more, would be needed by the government. Tf the government oan’t get It one way it will adopt some plan by whloh It will get It. The time may oome when tax reoelpts Instead of Liberty Bonds will be issued. Capt. Layton and the Seaboard ooo- • truotlon force have about finished the rork of board infir up the railroad rossings here ao as to be a protection o automobiles and ether vehicles. Next Tuesday is work day at Buf alo cemetery. Every person who has elatlves burled there or is in any way nterested in the cemetery Is requested o go or send a hand to help dean off he grounds. As Saturday, 18th, is aemorlal day, it is desired to have the emetery dean and in good shape, Troop trains continue to pass San ord carrying soldiers from the can onments North, presumably to sail for France. Some of the trains that passed hrough this week carried troops from 'amp Sevier and a few Lee county rays were among the number. The rays seem to be in a cheerful spirit md are glad to go.

At the request of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners the tax listers in each township have agreed to have specially prepared blanks on which the crop acreages for 1917 and 1918 and close estimates of the crops of both years will be listed. This lift is not for tax ation, but for the purpose of giving the government an accurate list of the foodstuffs produced. Farmers will as sist the government in prosecuting the war by furnishing this imformatlon as lt will be of benefit to the government, and will make easier the country’s task of feeding our army and the Allies. Lee County Oversubscribes for the Third Liberty Loan. Lee county went “Over the Top” in the third Liberty l^oan drive several days before the time for selling the bonds expired and we now have a good percent of subscriptions over and above the allotted amount. It makes every citizen a little prouder of this good county because the people have respond ed so nobly t^ the needs of our govern ment. The boys who are ready to make tho great sacrifice now, will be encouraged to learn that the people at home are backing them up with tnelr money and other resources. Our boys in the camps will be a little bit more eager to get at the Huns because Lee county has done her part. The credit for this result is due to every person who invested in a Liberty Bond and they should hold theli* heads a lltt e higher because they have done th'el “bit.” The Chairman of the Lib erty Loan Bond Committee, Mr. S. P. Hatch, has been untiring in his efforts to put this across, and all his co-work ers have put this campaign above their own business interests. The whole county appreciates the magnificent work of Rev. H. EJ. Spence, who left his work and came back to Lee oounty, for a week, to apeak, talk and solicit loans or anything that, would help tc Pht Lee oounty “over the top,” and she went Over. Lee county has again done herself proud. Scott- Beacham. Walter E.

They expect to be away until about the middle of May and will be at home, corner ltaleigh and Spring Sts., after June 1st. About one hundred of their friends were present and the beautiful wed ding gifts were many.

Those Who Hold Wheat to Be Reported. Food Administrator Henry A. Pape has been requested by the national food administration to arrange for the seizure of wheat which remains in the hands of producers after they have had ample opportunity to market it to their best advantage. This is a step further than that recently taken by Mr, Page, when he requested the farmers through the press of the State to dispose of their wheat by May 1 so that the flour may get into the channels of trade and be distributed as equitably as possible. Mr. Page has sent out a letter to all the roller mills of the State urging them to use their influence with the farmers to market their wheat during the next two or three weeks and to send to the food administrator at Ral eigh, on May 1, the names and ad dresses of every farmer in the mill community who, there Is reason to be lieve, is holding on hand a surplus of wheat above what his household and tenants will require before the Dext harvest. In his letter Mr, Page further adds: “On account of the desirability of having all wheqt in the hands of farm ers reach the mills and the channels of trade immediately, I hereby grant you an exception to the rule which for bids you storing more than 3 days’ supply of wheat, provided that you keep this offioe constantly Informed as to the quantity df^wheat you have on band and the relationship of your orders for flour to your supply of wheat. A little later, in order to se cure an equitable distribution of flour, it is going to be necessary to direct shipments from mills into territories which they have possibly not supplied heretofore.” What the Colors of the Hat Cords Denote. When in khaki field uniform wearing a service hat, every United States Soldier wears a hat cord that runs twice around the crown and ends in two acorns of the same material, worn in front. For each branch of the service thero is a hat cord of a different color or a combination of colors. The colors worn by the different arms are: Infantry—Light blue. Cavalry—Yellow. Artillery—Scarlet. Engineers—Scarlet Intertwined with white. Signal corps--Orange intertwined with white. Medical corps—Maroon intertwined with white. Quartermaster corps—Buff. Ordinance department—Scarlet In tertwined with black. All offioers, except general officers, wear a cord of black Intertwined with gold. Brigadier aud major generals wear a gold cord. The Civilian should be cautioned against confusing: The yoilow of the oavalry with tho huff of the quartemaater corps. The cavalry cord is a deep yellow. The buff cord .of the Q. M. C. Is fiat of pale straw. The cord of the engineers with that of the signal corps. Orange and scar let are unmistakable, if one looks closely. The cord of the engineers with that of the medical corps. The maroon of the M. C. is a deep dull looking red. Everyone can recognize scarlet by looking closely. ws.s.
