The Hughes that was and the Hughe? of today are entire strang
ers. ? Asheville Citizen. Why not introduce them to each other.
Perhaps Roumania has begun to wish that she had put off enters
ing the war until a somewhat later date.
Another week has started and we hope that some more new re?-'
ords will l>e made in the war of tobacco sales. With fair weather!
thi? flight to be SOME week.
It's getting about time for the Bremen to be reportel off Beaufort I
or Morohead City again ? New Bern Sun-Jotirnal. Wake up friend;
she was seen two or three da^s ago off the mouth o"f the Pamlioo
river, and a man who talked with a member of her crew, says that
she had delayed coming up the Pamlico this long because- she was
afraid that sho might make a mistake and run up the Neuse instead.
THE WOMEN ON THE FARM
A larpe number of farm women in the State are finding ways and
means for making a considerable amount of money even.- year. Some
of them make a pood profit out of rheir vegetable gardens, others
raise and sell chickens, and still others preserve fruit and dispose of
this at good prices.
In the Progressive Farmer, there recently appeared an interest
ing article, telling how the women of one of the counties in the State
made money out of cirgs. The plan is one which coull be adopted
with profit by the women of Beaufort or any other county. It is
describe! as follows :
In March. 1015, about 15 women organized, the Clarke County
Farmers' I'nion Egg Association. After electing officers, we de
cided to keep our eggs for one week to see how many we all were
getting per week. We did this and met the next Saturday and ship
ped to a commission merchant.
Our secretary was fortunate in finding a cafe that would use a
case (30 dozen) every other day for the year round at 25 cents.
That was what we were trying to do ? sell to the consumer as nearly
as possible. We signed die contract with the cafe, also one among
ourselves, agreeing not to sell an C??g over seven days old in winter
and none over four daw old in stimer, and no fertile eggs after May
1 ; not to offer for sale an egg that had staved in the ncet over night.
Each esrg i? stamped with "Clarke County Farmers' Union Egg
Association/' and each has a number on it. Each member ha3 a
number, and if a bad egg is reported to the secretary the member
whose number is on the egg is fined $1.
One member on each road packs the pgirs, one person takes all
the eggs to the packer one time, and another the next time, so that
it does not. take much of any one's time. The one that earie* the
eggs t-? the packer takes them on to the express office. We still have
the first contract made and are selling six cases per week now.
THE MAINE ELECTION.
The State of Maine is today holding its primary election and
the. outcome is being watched with acute interest in all parts of the
country. It has been claimed for many years that "Maine points
the way." In other words, whatever party wins in that. State, will
also win in the national election. Both Democrats and Republicans
claim that they will be successful in the election today.
Maine went Democratic in the 1012 election, the popular vote
being: Democrats, 51,113; Republicans, 26,545; P rogressi ves, 48,
403. For eight elections, previous to that of 1912, Maine went Re
publican. This shows that Maine has always been a Republican
state. ? and it would have gone Republican in 1912, except f??r the
vote of the Progressives.
The <|uc?tion that is worrying all of the politicians is: "What will
the Progressives do in Maine this year?" The Democrats claim
that tlio greater percentage will vote the Democratic ticket; the
Republicans assert that the majority will return to tihe fold. Tf
12.000 f, f the 48.W3 Progressives vote the Democratic ticket, the
Republicans will be defeated. Can the Democrats secure one Pro
gressive out of every four? It would certainly seem so, and if thov
can, they will carry the election. But the Republican sclaim that
feven out of eight Progressives will vote the Republican ticket, and
if they do, the Democrats will lose.
CONGRESSMAN SMALL.
The Greensboro News, in its issue of last Saturday, had some
mighty fine things to say about our congressman, Mr. Small. Most
of ii. h think rather highly of Mr. Small, and it may be gratifying
to know that, this opinion is not alone entertained by "home folks.'*
Here's what the News had to say:
You might almost call Mr. Small a conservationist by trade.
It would have been a most, fortunate circumstance for the state
if his like could have been developed in the west.
When one thinks of waterway economies, one thinks of Mr.
Small. His name is associated with this especial fieM of con
structive progress. The history, the technique, all the theorim
and all the surrounding facts, have been studied hy the first dis
trict, representative in Congress: and with them all he is as fa
miliar as a shoemaker with his tools and materials.
The state has no man in Congress who stands before the worM
as an authority on th^ subjerrf* so Vital to the natural wealth of
the west, and the preservation of agriculture h? the piedmont-?
forests, stream flow, land cover and erosion.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY
(?y Waited Pnaa)
Ktniu City, 8ept It.? 'When tke
American Banters Association meets
la this city two weeks benc?, Pres
Idont Prank A. Vanderilp. of th?
"National City Bulk of Nrr York and
other financial geniuses *Will discuss
plans to teach Americans of moder
ate means to save their money.
A special commlttee of the asso
ciation has been Investigating this
matter for more than a year and
their report Is said to contain some
surprises for Mr. Average CI t lien
concerning his pennies, quarters. |
dimes and dollars.
The American people of the rank
and file, for all their aspirations to
live well, have grown quite frugal,
though not stingy, It' Is said. StlU j
there could be a great deal more
money saved by the Individual that
would not take away from him any
of the necessities and modest luxur
ies he now enjoys. It Is claimed.
The business sessions will occupy
the bankers September 28th and 29.
WILL DISCUSS THE

Atlantic GIty, Sept. 11. ? George
H Gardner of Cleveland will deliver
au address on The Paper Situation
before the convention of The United
Typothetae and Pranklln Clubs of
America which convened here today,
which is expected to start the gen
eral discussion of a probe Into the
paper famine and othsr serious bus
iness problems of ths printing and
publishing business caused, or said
to have been caused, by the war.
The association is the national
body of the employing printers of
the country. It is to be their 30th
annual (.onvention.
The print paper situation, recent
ly investigated, by the federal gov
ernment and the subject of consider
ation at all gatherings of printers
and publishers this year, probably
will be concretely acted upon by the
convention. Papers In svery part qf
the country have been competed to
reduce their sise; printing prices.
whlch never did provide kny too good
a margin for the printer anyhow have
been boosted perforce any may go
higher. Good Inks are as scarce as ,
is good paper.

It is this combination of "satisfy" with
