If the wealth which has been produced in Johnston, Wayne, Robeson. Samp son. Halifax, Wilson and some other counties which are so copiously bleat with soil resources had bssn kept at home during these paat years thru the simple expedient of producing at home the food and feed stuffs for which this wealth has been squander ed they would be rich beyond their wildest dreams of 1918. Land In those counties would be selling at from 1200 to 9600 per acre. Their soil resources are so great that, even at ordinary prices, they will be able to make tremedous strides in the matter of wealth accu mulation if they will even now adopt the common sense plan of raising their living at homo as the first con sideration of their farming practice.( " In every county and on every in-1 dividual farm it is net income that | counts, not gross income.

"His pardon is recommended by the solicitor who proeecuted and by the judge who triad and sen tan cad him.
