The Cause of Its Popularity THERE IS NO MYSTERY BE HIND THIS GROWING MOVEMENT. Men and Things Are Judged by the Company They Keep and Those Who Give Approval. If Edison approves an electrical de vice it is reasonably certain to prove practical and a success. If Morgan says that an investment is safe there are millions of people ready to put their last dollar in it, and so it is in every line; public opinion is in fluenced by those who know. This is particularly true of pro prietary remedies, and that is why PEPLAC, th? great restorative and systematic tonic is meeting with such unprecedented success ? it has the en dorsement of those who know where of they spc-ak. Doctors, Ministers, Red Cross Workers, Business and Professional men and leaders in all walks of life have endorsed Peplac and publicly stated that it had brought health to them when they had abandoned hope. No medicine ever offered the people in this state has so quickly and firmly estabished its merit as Peplac. It has demonstrated its worth in com batting the most severe cause of Stomach trouble, indigestion, consti pation and derangement of the liver and kidneys. It is also effective in the treatment of catarrh, as it builds up the system and enables the victim to cast out this loathsome and danger ous malady. Those who feel that they are af flicted with any of these health under mining diseases should at once call Peplac to their assistance and con quer these troubles before they be come chronic.

Big Drive to Secure Membership to "$1,000 Club." One I'er Cent l'opu | lation Expected to Buy $1,000 in War-Savings Stamps Winston-Salem, Feb. 23. ? " Have you gone the limit?" This is the compliment the officers and agents of the War-Savings Campaign pay a man, or woman, when they wish to know if he is a member or will be come a member of the Thousand Dol lar War-Savings Club, otherwise known as the Limit Club. This club, as explained at State Headquarters for the War-Savings Committee, is composed of men and women, chil dren too, if there are any so fortu nate, who have bought or will pledge themselves to buy War Savings Stamps to the amount of $1,000. The present law does not allow any one person to purchase more than $1,000 of War-Savings Stamps. The first week in March, from the fourth to the ninth inclusive, is to be known as "Thousand Dollar Week." Plans are being made at State Head quarters at Wmston-Salem for every county to make, during this week, an intensive drive for membership in the Thousand Dollar Club. Every county will have an organization, and ap plications for membership will be issued, the requirements of which will be a pledge to save and purchase within the year 1918 Wnr-Savings Stamps to the Amount of $1,000. According to the plans for conduct ing this feature of the War-Savings Campaign, every county is expected to enlist at least one per cent of her population in this club. Men and women who have already purchased the maximum amount are already members and will be asked to act as special agents ii] promoting the "1,000 Week Campaign " and increas ing the membership of their club. Membership in this Club requires the applicant to save systematically, to refrain from unnecessary expendi tures and the purchase of non-essen tials, to encourage Thrift and Econo my in his community, as well as the purchase of War-Savings and Thrift Stamps, and to purchase in the year 1918 War-Savings Stamps to the amount of $1,000 maturity value. Enlistments in Regular Army. Reports to The Adjutant General's Office show there were 667 enlist ments in the Regular Army on Febru ary 20, a total of 377,098 since April 1, 1917. The first horse railroad was built in 1826. > The Crop Rotation. Rotation is one of the assential features to good farming which has been recommended in this country since the time of George Washington. At this time good farming is not only necessary to the individual welfare of the farmers themselves, but to the safety and security of the public and to our independence along the lines as laid down by Father Washington. Therefore, let us urge you to study well your rotation system and bear in mind the importance of establishing a system in which the same crop shall not be followed immediately on the same land, but that a crop of recupe rating character or of a different na ture shall intervene. Rotation of this character has been proved to be large ly an equivalent for fertilization, gradually restoring land to productiv ity and making the use of fertilizer much more effective. Each crop makes special calls upon the land for its successful growth and the constant repetition of these soon exhaust the soil of the special element called for. Change the crop and the call is more largely for some other element and in this way the balance of the fer tility is maintained and each crop is more adequately fed and fertility i^ more easily and cheaply maintained A good system of rotation ought to be established and maintained on every farm and one great factor in this ought to be in this climate the production on all land of one crop for the barn and one crop for the soil every year. We can successfully do this in the South and thus much more rapidly improve and maintain the fer tility of our lands than can be done in the North and West. Not to fol low this rule is to throw away one of the great advantages which our cli mate gives us. Let cowpeas, crim son and the other clovers and the vetch always follow the grain crops and let the land have the benefit of these catch crops and we can main tain fertility without having to rely on the fertilizer dealer. We can get our nitrogen much more cheaply in this way than in any other and we can supply what our land most needs, an abundance of humus. Do not fail to inoculate the legume seed unless you know your land contains the proper bacteria. ? The Southern Plant er. Bathing Suit not Needed.
