K. S. .Mi I liken, Harve Milliken and Ernest .Milliken were in town on business when they decided to go around to the jail to see a neighbor of their's who is being held for trial at the May term of court. Jailer Robinson lutd just turned them in when somebody came up with the alarming news that his cow was in a bog, and he'd better come ijuick and get her out. Willi a parting invitation to the fellows to 'just make themselves at home' the jailer took off for the swamp, where he found that his cow was just before disappearing into the lower regions. The matter of getting her out was an arduous task, and before it was completed the services of a half dozen additional men had i?een enlisted and the lietter part of three hours had been consumed. And upon good authority it is learned that the jailer felt mi greater relief at being auie to free his cow than the visitors in the jail felt when he finally was able to get them out of their conlined quarters.

They are all three the. same thing. Up at Eastbrook Nursery the other night a representative of this paper found Joe P. Verzaal and about a dozen helpers busily pre (taring and itacking for shipment the day's crop of 25,000 of these pretty purplcishblue blossoms. Interested in the whole procedure, the news|taperman bombarded the nurseryman with questions, which he answered as he continued with his task of stripping the stems and packing the flowers. The cultivation of bachelor buttons (that's our favorite name for them) is comparatively new in this section. They are tied into bunches of 25-flowcrs each and shipped up north. Sometimes the market on them is good. Sometimes the market Is very bad. Most of the retail sales of these flowers are made by street peddlers, who seU them for boutonieres. The blue flowers?that's the kind .Mr. Verzaal has?sell best. Cutting and packing them ik a mammoth job, and at |>eak sea- J SOU one acre win jirvuuco umiUK !i5,000 blossoms in one day. After the season, which lasts about six weeks, closes the ^ harvest and sale of gladioli ^ will begin. When they are ( gone the six month's cut-flower ? season will have ended. And that's more than we Bver knew before about cornc flower, or backhclor buttons, j, or ragged robbins. :ive Cases In Court Monday defendants In Three Cases Ask For Trial By Jury While Two Other Matters Are Tried In Recorder's court here Monty five cases were brought beire'Judge Walter M.

F. Plaxico will begin a systematic lanvas to the end that every in come earning citizen may be given an opportunity to pledge vol- . antarily some portion of his or ler income to the regular purchase of defense bonds and ,' ) tamps. Governor J. Melville Broughton, vho is Honorary Chairman of the Campaign, in a proclamation, issued recently, designated May 4) as War Bond Week and called jpon "the full and prompt cooperation of all citizens in signng a voluntary pledge for the purchase of United States savings iecurities." j Every pledge is conditional upon the signer's remaining financially able to make the stated ourchase. This condition is expressly stipulated in the pledge. It will be left to the signers to iecide whether or not they are ible to continue their purchases.

The more dollars voluntarily pledged for the purchase of bonds, the ess will be the tax load. !, The money invested in these ! ear savings securities?the safest nvestment in the world?will be laker, c'Jt of competition for con- "fl, iumcr goods, thereby preventing nflation and building up a cuslion of savings for the individual ' vhen the war ends. These securities also make ev- j ;ry citizen buying them a sharelolder in the future of America. Following up Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau's recent an- ' louncement that North Carolina's . juota of war bonds and stamps 'or May had been set at $5,888,>00, State Administrator Charles d. Robertson and State Chairman lulian Price, of Greensboro,, said f n a joint statement that "we i J' ire confident North CarolinU/eiil If :an be counted upon to excet 78 he quota set for our State." "North Carolina's average Itf nonthly purchases of these war YJ lavings securities in the sevennonth period ending in January fj vas $4,207,031," they said, "and ;j f we did that well before Pearl 1' iarbor we certainly ought to be L ible to go ahead of that record p low." 1 V Brunswick Man Soldier Reporter |i Pvt.
