YOUNG POETS FIND A FRIEND. The Superintendent of the Kenly State High School offers to Aid Those Who Desire to Sing Their Songs Through the Medium of Verse. Poetry the I'niversal Language of the Soul. (By M. B. Andrews.) Please allow me to say a few words to your poetic contributors concern ing: the following little editorial I have just read. "Our paper has recently been favor ed with several poetical effusions from young budding poets. However, we are unable to find much poetry in these efforts and ask these poets to suspend operations for a while. The editors are not much on home-made poetry and now give notice that we cannot accept for publication these scribblings, unless they are type written and have been passed upon by a competent judge of poetry.' I know not whether it has always been so, but of this I am certain: There is a tendency among many men today to discount, and even at times to sneer at and ridicule, the efforts of the aspiring young bard as he at tempts to express the deep emotions of his soul in the language of song. This tendency is almost absolutely unjustifiable; it does no one any good, but it hurts many ? blighting the sensitive spirit of a young man even as frost blights the buds of a tender young plant in early springtime. It should therefore be discouraged by every one who thinks. Contrary to the conception of many of us moderns, the poets of the past are the great men of history. Had it not been for Homer, the world would have been destitute of some of the most fascinating literature the race has yet produced. It is indeed signifi cant that four poets alone ? Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides ? have preserved for us nearly all of what we know of ancient Greece. Rob Rome of her poetry, and her history ? in spite of Caesar's Gallic Wars and Cicero's powerful! orations ? will be dry, dull, and lifeless in comparison to what it is today. Were it not for Shakespeare's delightful plays, who would have sufficient energy to read the creaking old "Chronicles" of Eng lish history? Poetry is to life and to history whnt perfume is to the rose and what honey is to the flowers; without poetry, life would be as the thorns and fallen leaves of dead rosebushes. Poetry is the universal language of the human soul; indeed, I came near saying that it is the universal lan guage of all creation. The twinkle twinkle of God's jeweled robes of the heavens sings songs that cannot be uttered; the unwritten songs of the birds are excellent poems of love and beauty. See the Italian with his hand-or gan and his trained monkey as he winds his way along the streets; what is it in that performance which at tracts the attention of the on-looking children as he passes their way? The music of the organ and the dancing of the monkey appeal to the poetic in stinct of each child. The earliest philosopher was a lover ?of music. The Ethiopian maid sings of her hero as she winds her way through the forests of Africa. The greatest scholar of modern times is almost enchanted with his passion for music and song. I repeat that poetry is the universal language of the hu- i man soul. Everybody knows that not all men 1 fan sing; 1 insist, therefore, that he I who has a mind to sing should be en couraged by all lovers of good music to express every one of his deepest and most sublime emotions ip. song. I do not claim to be a master of poetry, but I do appreciate the moods and feelings that prompt the writing of verse. Spring will soon be here. If there is a person in the world who needs an understanding friend, it is the person who' has a sensitive, poetic soul. I have a proposition I desire to make to every reader of this paper. Young friend, do you love to write? And do you yearn for a friend to whom you can always go with your verse compositions? I*et me be that friend. Here are the directions: 1. Write neatly and use a type writer if possible. 2. Use large paper and write on but one side. 3. Send stamped and addressed en velope for a reply. 4. Wait a week for your answer. 5. I promise to read your poetry carefully and tell you what I think of it. 6. I will gladly offer any helpful suggestions that may come to mind. 7. Address me as follows: M. B. Andrews, Superintendent, The Kenly State High School, Kenly, North Carolina. Be who knows the safe channel need not be acquainted with all the rocks. Hp who knows the right path and intends to follow it, has no par ticular interest in studying the wrong paths. ? Forward. SWEET POTATOES. I have the following from the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton relative to holding sweet potatoes, which is of interest to our farmers: Dear Sir: The Department's attention has been called to reports circulated in va rious sections of the South to the effect that the Food Administration intends to limit the time of storage and to control the price of sweet po tatoes. This report is without foun dation, as is shown by the following letter from The Food Administration written in answer to an inquiry from this Department: "Confirming my conversation over the phone relative to sweet potatoes, there is no rule of the Food Adminis tration which will prevent the storage of sweet potatoes or which regulates the price or profit. It v/as recognized that certain com modities are produced every season in quantities excessive of the demand at the time and it necessarily follows that they must be stored to cover the period of non-production. Therefore, anyone properly performing this func tion is a useful factor in the distribu tion of food." It is apparent from the letter quoted, that there is no intention on the part of the National Food Admin istration to control the sweet potato crop. The writer desires at this time to call your attention to the importance of encouraging farmers in your coun ty to save sweet potatoes for planting next year. You will probably recall that there was scarcity of seed sweet potatoes and plants last season. Un less an active campaign is conducted to encourage farmers to hold r?ood seed stock, the shortage in sweet po tato seed and plants may be mere serious next spring that it was last season. The high price being paid for sweet potatoes will undoubtedly tempt far mers to sell their crop. All farmers having good stock, or standard varie ties, free from disease, should be ad vised and encouraged to hold it for planting purposes. This is especially true of those farmers possessing good storage facilities. If this is not done, it is feared that next season's acreage will be seriously reduced. In many sections cf the South, the yield of sweet potatoes has been de creasing for the past few years. This is undoubtedly due, in part, to the use of poor seed. For this reason, it is very important that the very best seed possible be selected and saved for next season's planting. Wo auk your co-operation in this matter, and suggest that you use the public press in getting this informa tion before the farmers in your county. H. C. THOMPSON, Horticulturist. In view of the fact that a large per cent of the sweet potatoes raised in Johnston County have been hurried to market and sold on account of the fact that they commenced to rot, planting potatoes will be scarce and will com mand a high price. All farmers whose potatoes are keeping in good condi tion, should hold at least a part of same for planting purposes. Do not sacrifice next year's crop of sweet potatoes by failing to keep sufficient good potatoes for seed. Look around you, Mr. Farmer, and make arrange ments now for your seed potatoes, and have same reserved. Many farmers might bed a good many potatoes and sell their neigh bors slips for planting next spring. Let us co-operate with each other to guarantee a big crop of sweet pota toes next fall. We might need them worse next fall than we do now. F. H. 15ROOKS, County Food Administrator. WILL TEACH LIFE OF CHRIST. Students' Conference at Northfield Arms to Raise Million- Dollar Fund. The decision to raise $1,000,000 to teach 200,000 college students the life of Christ was reached at the students' volunteer conference which closed its sessions at the Northfield seminary Sunday. The meetings opened Thurs day and attracted 800 delegates, in cluding some from Porto Rico and some from the Pacific coast. The conference was under the leadership of Dr. John R. Mott, of New York, and dealt largely with mis sionary problems arising from the war. A Reacting Test. A visitor was testing the class. "Now, children," she said, "I had five dollars the other day, ami went shopping. I bought a hat for three dollars and a pair of gloves for one dollar. Then I spent fifty cents for some handkerchiefs, how much had I left?" A little sharp-eyed girl ^aid quick ly: "Mama always tells us to count our change before we leave the store. If you did that you'd know." ? The Christmas Herald. ? * THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. ? X By Cy Johnson. I am informed that the Town Board of Smithfietd is considering appoint ing a Town Tree Commission to con serve the natural beauty of the town. Three cheers for Smithfield. Could the Town Board do anything more beneficial for our town? I doubt it. Trees, shubbery and grass add more pulling power to a town or com munity than a gold mine, for perma nent and sterling settlers. We can now look forward to having our trees pruned properly, planted correctly and the right kind, so our children will not have to spend thous ands of dollars to remove them later because of lack of forethought on our part. Our Elm trees are obstructing our sewers now, but that will be over come without cutting down the trees. We can now plan for a beautiful park ing between the town and the station. We can soon be proud of our town rather than be ashamed of it. More of our folks will now take more pride in fixing up their places with grass and shrubbery and trees. A town of beauty like "a thing of beauty is a joy forever." Let's spruce up and keep up with the signs of the times; that Smithfield is to be more beauti ful. NOTICE.
