GET TOUR COAL SUPPLY NOW. Consumers Are Urged to Plan Karly for Next Winter's Fuel. Extract from address by L. A Snead, Assistant to the U. S. Fuel Administrator, at meeting Greens boro, N .C.f April 1, 1918, of the State Fuel Administrator, A. W. Mc Alister, and the Chairmen of the Coun ty and City Committees throughout North Carolina. It is absolutely necessary that do mestic consumers of coal put in their supply during the summer months. By doing so consumers will help the Government, assist the railroads, and at the same time, provide themselves with coal. They will help the Govern ment by making it unnecessary to as sist with their supply next winter when all the time and effort of the Fuel Administration will l>e needed in providing conl for war purposes; they will help the transportation compan ies by reducing the number of cars to be handled during a period when it is most difficult to handle same. There is no other way in which the domestic consumers, in so far as the coal situation is conccrned, can as effectually assist the Government in the successful prosecution of the wnr, and at the same time provide them selves with fuel, than by obtaining their normal season's requirements during the summer months. If it is necessary to enlarge the bins so as to r.ccommodate a normal year's supply, this should be done. If the denier is not willing to carry the account, arrangements should be made to handle the matter by making monthly payments. If this is not done there will be a shortage during the coming winter, due to the large increased demands for war purposes and the inability of the transportation companies to hnn dle the enormous quantity of freight necessary for war and other pur poses. I also desire to urge the great neces sity for each consumer to limit his requirements to less than normal needs. There is great need for ev<;ry ton and every pound saved provides that much additional coal for war requirements, not only for our Gov ernment but for the Allies. I would also request and urge the substitution and use, to the fullest extent possible, of wood for coal by all consumers. Therefore, the message I want to you take back to the people in your communities is to place orders for the quantity of coal necessary for their year's Bupply as early as pos sible and to exercise the strictest economy in it? use.

SANDERS CHAPEL NOTES. Mr. Charles Powell and CTiarlei Matthews, of Sampson, son and grand ?on of Sheriff Powell, came to soe him Saturday. A fine shad dangled by their side, which brought smiles and satis fied longings. Mrs. L. L. Matthews and son, Emmons, returned with them. A brand new boy at Mr. B. C. Pow ell's gives him a blank stare over sea-wards. He is a fourth class reg istrant, but three little tots in three years looks steady. What he thinks of the Kaiser had best not be recorded. Mr. Wil Hamilton also has a corn row-running walk. It's his first grand son. Three Sanders Chapel farmers have taken near three thousand dollars in Thrift Stamps. Much more is avail able and will come in due time. They have set their clocks up to the at- nd ard time, but some of the women say putting on djnner comes too soon. Messrs. Zeke Young, cf Wake and John Myatt, of Upper Johnston, paid Sheriff Powell a pop call one day last week. Zeke is an old Confederate sol dier and always enquires after Sheriff Powell. His visit was greatly appre ciated Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Woodard, of Selmr, also "drapt" in and not empty handed either. Mr. C. It. Mallard, of Calypso, a brother of Mrs. C. S. Powell, is visit ing the family. He detrained at Pine Ix>vel and Mr. James A. Woodall mule-motored him to this raneh. That was a fine pair to "draw to."

When He has work to he done He goes to those who are already at work. When God wants a great ser vant, He calls a busy man. Scripture and history attest this truth. Moses was busy with his flocks at Horeb. Saul was busy searching for his father's lost beasts. David was busy caring for his fath er's sheep. Elisha was busy plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. Nehemiah was busy bearing the king's cup. Amos was busy following the flock. Peter and Andrew were casting a net into the sen. James and John were busy mending their nets. Matthew was busy collecting cus toms. . Sau! was busy persecuting the friends of Jesus. ? Christian Observer.

Jat-k Wall, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wall of Wilders township was thrown from a mule which he had started to ride home to dinner, last Thursday, and died from the ef fects of the wounds received at four o'clock Thursday afternoon. He had been plowing und had taken out and was ready to start to dinner, riding the mule, when a younger brother brought him a wat er cooler for him to carry to the house. The mule became frighten ed and ran, the boy falling off. As he fell one foot caught in the plow trace, and became twisted so that it would not slip out. The mule ran to a house a distance of about three qarters of a mile, and ran into the stable with the boy still dragging by the foot. The boy's clothes were all stripped off the body, one leg broken in two places, his ribs torn loose from the spine on one side, the spine broken and the skull crushed, besides va rious other bruises. Medical aid wus secured as promptly as possible, but nothing could be done, except to alle viate the suffering, and he died at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon. The remains were interred in the city cemetery at Clayton Friday af ternoon. Desperation of Hohenzollern. The ^iant antagonists are prepar ing for another struggle. The enemy is bringing up in big guns and mass ing his divisions in the hope of tak ing Amiens or cutting the Paris Amiens railroad. The allies are de termined that he shall do neither. They will fight to the last ditch rath er than fall back from Amiens. The battle clouds now forming are blacker and more full of wrath than any tempest that has burst during this war. If Hohenzollern and his captains were desperate on March 20, when they struck with all their might in the hope of breaking through the allies, they are doubly desperate now, hav ing failed to break through and being face to face with the consequences I of defeat, with all that defeat means in German. Hohenzollern will pour out lives like a torrent for the sake of saving his crown and his dynasty. He has Germany to squander, and he will squander it rather than lose his crown and his life. He is at his last stand. He is so deep in blood that it is easier to wade through than turn back. He can not turn back if he would. The civiliz ed world is at his throat. Murders innumerable cry for vengeance. Na tions slain are rising to haunt him. Belguim accuses him, Serbia points a bloody finger at him, Poland's mil lions cry out against him. Blood will have blood until the debt is paid. Jus tice wields the avenging svord. Ho henzollern appealed to the sword, and he and his house must perish by the sword. The slaying of Americans and the attempt upon the life of America places the United States in the list of those nations that are called upon by inexorable fate to destroy Hohen zollern and his system of blood and murder. The nations cannot escape their duty. It is a sin to delay the performance of it. The days in which Hohenzollern sees the sun are days of monstrous and abominable crimes against mankind. May those days be few! ? Washington Post. Selma Fidellis Class. The Fidelis Class of the Selnia Baptist Church met with Miss Gladys Holland to have our regular business meeting on Tuesday, April 2nd.

Ham On The Side," Is His Standing Order This Is the Joyous Call Of a Man at Breakfast Who Has Learned to Eat. >iow Indulges In CofTee, Salads and Other Things Which He Had to Deny Himself Before. "We live to eat, and eat to live, "but how few there are of us who real ly eat with proper relish. Most peo ple have little or no desire for food and on this account they eat less than they should. Harry Weiss, the popular traveling salesman, who lives at 219 South McDowell street, Ral eigh, says that until recently it was almost necessary to blindfold and back him up to a table. It is not so now, and here is the reason: "My health has been such that I could not eat fats or any heavy food. I had stomach trouble and indigestion, and after eating my stomach would fill up with gas and I was altogether miserable. For four or five years I tried everything imaginable, but noth ing helped me until a friend advised me to take Peplac. It did the work~all right, and you ought to see me eat. When I get up in the mom ing I feel fine, and, Oh, Boy! It's ham and eggs, hot bicuit and coffee, and plenty of it for me. I can also eat salad, something I dared not touch before, and I have no indigestion pains or gas in the stomach. I can not only eat, but I am getting some bene fit from my food as I gained five pounds after taking my first bottle of Peplac. I am strong for Peplac, be cause I know that it will do as much for any other person who is in the same condition that I was." Peplac re?tores the appetite be cause it puts the stomach in condition to receive and digest food. It also puts the bowels in good order and tonc-s up thi. entire system. The merits of this great reconstruc tive tonic is explained at Hood Bros, where it iB sold and recommended. A bottle bought today may save you j years of suffering. ? Adv.
