Lieutenant Austin is well known to the medical profession in Raleigh and elsewhere in this section. He was raised near Clayton 'and his father lives near that place now.

C. * ft * THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. * * ? * By Cy Johnson. ft ft -ft Last Sunday night about seven o'clock I w%s driving home from the country. I saw an old lady with a black shawl over her shoulders cut ting wood in the drizzling rain. And chances were thr.t the m n folks wore | sitting in by the fire, and I know there are men in that home, cracking nuts and jokes that were moth-eaten. Is it any wonder that the world is ap pealing for men, real men. Is the man who said lust week that he hoped Germany would win this war | any more of a slacker? Is it any wonder that the boys and girls are kept home from school? Is it any wonder that our women are appealing for women suffrage? Is it any wonder t'uat we have so many weak mothers and children in the country? Is it any wonder, I say, that a pood many of our farmers are not getting better returns? Is it any wonder that our city brothers are ac cusing we farmers of being slackers? Friends, th" signs of the times are that those of us who cannot look far enough ahead to prepare for a rainy day will soon be eliminated in the pro cess of natural selection, the fittest will survivq. Prayer For The New Year. Lord God, we lift to Thee A world hurt sore, Look down and let it be Wounded no more. Lord, when this year is done That wakes today Many shall pray to Thee Who do not pray. Let all lips comfort them, All hearts be kin^, They v/ho this year shall lepve Their joys behind. Give them Thy comforting, Help them to know That though their hopes are gone Thou dost not go. They who shall give for Thee Lover and son, Show them Thy world set free, Thy battles dene! Lord God we lift to Thee A world in pain, Look down and let it be Made whole again!! ? Margaret Widdemer in Good House keeping. English Responsible For Saying. "Do your bit" is from the English. Americans took it readily and are us ing it (iO times a minute. A French man whose views of American tilings are embodied in a Saturday Evening Post story, can't get the "bit" just right. He says the English did their "bit" during the first year of the war, when France was doing her utmost. If America is to confine herself to "bits" while France is being pounded to pieces, America won't help much. The French threw everything into the war. They pledged the last feeble stroke of the last dying French man. They didn't ever consider "do ing their bit." The slogan is unfor tunate. This is not a war of "bits," The American "bit" won't put the al lies over the top. It will take the American "all." "To the limit" is bet ter as a catchword, "with the sky as the limit." ? Washington Star. There is plenty of flour on the market, but that is no reason why we should eat as much wheat bread as we were eating a year ago. Economy in the use of sugar and fats is just as necessary as the substitution of corn and oth^r cereals for wheat. ? J. P. Lucas. Every extra hog marketed by the North Carolina farmer finds its way by proxy to Europe and is used to sustain soldiers or to save civilians from starvation. THE SM ITH FIELD MARKET.
