RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Yeai, .... $1.50 Eight Months 100 Six Months, .75 Three Months. 40 Entered at thel\>st Office at Smith field, Johnston County, N. C., as Second-class Matter. We learned yesterday that two prominent citizens of Kenly who were planning to buy new automo biles soon have decided to defer the purchase and put the money which would be paid for the cars into War Savings Stamps. This is one of the most encouraging. things we have heard since the War Savings cam paign began. When the people come to realize that it is going to mean sacrifice of pleasure, conveniences and ease, and money as well, to end the great war in Europe, they are going to forget self and help to fight the battles we are called on to fight. Ev ery' one has a part. No man or woman or child of school age, can really be excused. There is work for all. There are those whoare going to say, when reminded that all time pieces are to be advanced one hour next Sunday, "What's the use!" Well, one thing, the Government says so. If we nre not willing U> do our Ix-st to stand the Government at a time like this, then, we are not real good citizens. The Government has mad# the Day light Saving Law, and it is our duty to obey that law. Great and wise men who have studied the question say that it is eminently worth while. Let us take them at their word. The good by the Government at a time like this | soldier ol>oys without question ing the reason why. We are all boI diers of one kind or another. FRANKLIN AN ADVOCATE OF DAYLIGHT SAVING. In the speech in the House of Rep resentatives on March 15th, Congress man Hamilton, of Michigan, in the course of his remarks, said: "The question of 'Daylight Sav ing, ' of setting the clock ahead, is not new. It is said that Benjamin Frank lin originated the idea, but in 1907 an Englishman named William Willett published a pamphlet on "Waste of Daylight," and since 1916 all the na tions of Europe except Russia, Greece and the Balkan countries have adopted .the plan." FIGHT OR FINANCE. That is a pretty good motto ? "Fight or finance." There is not a man in America who cannot help to finance the war. It is a campaign in which pennies count. The humblest may serve a noble and patriotic pur pose. i Just now when blood is running like water in France, when the cables are telling us of the lives of our boys sacrificed upon the altar of world de mocracy, it is indeed a sorry citizen who neither helps to fight nor finances the war. ? Charlotte Observer. LIGHT-SAVING AS LIFE-SAVING. The question, "What good will the light-saving plan do!" is constantly asked. The answer is. it will save life. The benefit is the same as that deriv ed from all conservation measures, which aim at just that, whether the thing immediately conserved is food, or fuel, or clot hor what not. Light is necessary to life, and the fuel which produces our artificial light may be used to supply power to factories, to drive locomotive or ma rine engines, ?nd in, short, to keep the war machine going. To keep the war machine going at top speed is to save life. More terrible is undoubted ly makes the war, but it also shortens it and sends our boys to the front better prepared, protected and ten ded in case of accident, with a conse quent improved chance of getting back home, to join again the ranks of producers, once the job of saving the world is over. So, whatever in convenience we may think we suf fer, whatever the jolt to our habits, to our cherished notions, it is up to us to get up earlier and retire earlier. Our soldiers will benefit thereby ? and so shall we, for what helps them helps us all. ? Philadelphia Record. County Limit Club.

Farm and Home Problems in Johnston CANNING CLUB NOTES By Mamie Sue Jones County Home Demonntrator FARM NOTES. By. A. M. Johnson County Farm Demonstrator. Today, the women cf the world have been given a chance to serve human ity as never before. The greatest ser vice that the women of America can render, is in the saving of the nation's supply of food. The United States has more than a hundred million inhabi tants to care for, an army to feed, the food supply of the allies to supple ment and the needs of neutral coun tries to consider. In order for the Uni ted Sates to meet these demands, it will be necessary for more food to i be produced and conserved than ever j before in the history of our nation, j In the responsibility that is placed up on the United States the housewife has a part to play. The conservation of the nation's food supply depends to a great extent on the way the house wife plans the meals. The meals should he so planned that the needs of the body be supplied and food conserved at the same time. The time has come when housekeeping is no longer a pastime but a profession that de mands efficiency. II. Things to observe in the purchas ing of food. Personal selection. Consideration of food values in se lection. Careful buying (quality, quantity, variety). Definite ordering (by definite unit of weight or measure.) Use more of the cheaper cuts of meat. Cheaper cuts of meat may be made more appetizing through combi nation with other foods. Purchase less prepared food. When you purchase prepared food you pay for the preparation. III. You can save food through the de velopment of simple recipes. Substitute cheaper food material for those which are more expensive. Unskimmed milk, sour milk, or but ter milk, for whole sweet milk or cream. Substitute oleomargarine or other fat for butter. Brown sugar can be used for sugar. When possible, use corn, cane, an<) maple sirups, honey, molasses, and fruit juices instead of sugar. Use more wheat substitutes and less wheat. Be accurate in the measurement of the material of a recipe. IV. Things to observe in the conserva tion of food. Care in storage to prevent deteriora tion of all forms. ? :? u 11 1. The supply of crimson clover seed will be extremely limited this year; little is on hand and none will be imported as heretofore. Then it will pay you well to save all you can for seed. 2. Those who want some good pure seed corn see me rightaway. 3. We want the boys who cxpi-ct to join the corn or the pig club or both, to give their names to the school teacher and have them sent here to me as soon as possible. I can get seed corn or pigs for you at reasonable prices. Do this now; not next week. 4. Do not become uneaiy about the nitrate of soda. We will send you a notice when to call for it at the shipping point. You will get a notice to deposit the money for the soda first. Make out a check payable to W. H. Lassiter, county distributor, and send or take it to the First National Hank at Smithfield as soon as you are notified and you will get a receipt which you will present at the car in order to get the soda. 5. The Smithfield Township board of Agriculture will meet the first Sat urday of each month at the crurt house at two o'clock. <5. Pino Level Township will elect its board of agriculture Monday night April first before the moving picture program at the school house at Pine Level. I will be there. breakage, ?or spilling. Care in preparation not to discard good materials when paring, when emptying bowls, or when draining. Care in cooking not to los<? good ma terial through careless measuring, scorching, burning, undercooking, or bad combinations. Utilization of left-overs ? rice water, waste fats, coarse portions of vege table, 'urnips, and beet tops, skim med milk, etc. Care in removing food from the table not to waste the spoonful of but ter, the slice of bread, the half cup of milk, the piece of meat, and the small portion of fat. The use of butter and eggs v/hen abundant to save meat. V. If you do not join the canning club, have a home garden and produce enough vegetables for your own table this summer and a surplus to can for winter use. ' To some parents W. S. S. means We Send Sons. To many people it only means that we send a few dollars, while to many more it means we send only a few cents, or nothing at all. ? War Saving News.
