In every issue of The Smithfield Herald we are giving pictures and brief sketches of some of the brave youn~ men who have gone forth in the prime of their young manhood to fight the Nation's battles against a foreign foe. Some of our sketches have necessarily been very brief for lack of more information. Those who send us pictures of their sons and relatives and friends will confer a favor and help the cause if they will enclose with the picture such facts concerning the young- men as they think will be of general interest to our readers. Four-Minute Men and Liberty Loan. Mr. A. M. Noble, chairman of the Four-Minute Men of Smithfield, has aranged to begin the four minute speeches at the Moving: picture thea tre next Monday night, April 15th. Mr. H. B. Marrow will speak on the Liberty Loan. It is so arranged that no speaker will talk over four min utes at a time. This is a move and those who attend the mc.-ies will hear a patriotic talk between the reels. ? "Furnish Some Cows." A few days ago a man placed an ad vertisement in The Herald that he had a Jersey milch cow for sale. One day this week we received the follow ing card from him: "Please take my ad out of your paper, furnish me some cows to sell, or change it to read that I have no Jersey cow fcr sale. I sold my cow immediately after the first announce ment in your paper and could have sold half dozen more." The Red Cross and the Eastern Star. The Smithfield Chapter regrets that in the financial report, especial mention was not made of a donation of $20, made to it by the Eastern Star. The Treasurer included this gift in the item "From all other sources," but the amount was so generous, and the spirit of good fellowship between the two organizations, so pronounced, that we cannot be content without this public acknowledgement and ex pression of our thanks. MATT IE T. POU, Secretary. Teachers Entertained. Wednesday evening at the home of Mr, and Mrs. T. J. Lassiter, Misses Bertha Cox and Stella Rutherford delightfully entertained the young lady members of the Turlington Grad ed School faculty.

Before the guests left they were serv ed with delicious fruit salad, waifers and hot tea. ROYALL SCHOOL NOTES. Mr. R. H. Higgins spent the week end in Smithfield. Quite a crowd of our people attend ed the "Pie Party" at Creech's school Saturday night. Many of our people went to the school closing at Massey Saturday. They report a nice time. Mr. W.

The little chap, "Billy Drew," says a Greenville paper, is one of the cleverest child commedians before the footlights. This company carries an orchestra which chases away dull care. The features vaudeville act is Leon Cunn and his Italian squeeze box. See the company at the Opera House begin ning Monday night, April 15th. ? Press Agent. Farm and Home Problems in Johnston CANNING CLUB NOTES By Mamie Sue Jones County Home Demonstrator FARM NOTES. By. A. M. Johnson County Farm Demonstrator. CLUB NOTES. 1. If you want to become a mem ber of the canning club, it is necessary that you send me your name before the first of May. After this date you can not enroll. o 2. If a woman in a community, where I have not visited will send me the names of the girls who are inter ested in club work, I will appreciate it very much. This will assist me very much. Because of my late arrval in the county. It will be impossible for me to visit all parts before it is too late to enroll members. I expect to have the clubs so organzed that all who are interested can attend the meetings. o 3. Club girls, please write me at once if you ne;xi tin cans. I must have this information right away in order that I might have an estimate of the number of cans that will be used in the county this year. If you wait until your vegetables are most ready to be canned before you make your order, much will be lost. Because cf limited transportation, it is necessary to or der cans now in order that they will be here on time. If I can get an es timate as to the number of cans that will be used, I think I can arrange with a local merchant to handle the shipment. o 4. If the cold has killed your to mato plants, write me at once and 1 will send you some seed. 5. Plant your garden now in or der that you may get in two crops. BROWN SCHOOL The weather has been fine for the farmers, some are planting corn and cotton. Last Tuesday, (April 2) the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Snipes, and claimed their little babe, Edward Odell, aged eleven months. Little Edward had been sick several weeks. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. T. Collier. The interment was made in the Crocker grave yard in the pres ence of a large gathering of relatives and friends. The sympathy of the com munity is extended to the bereaved. Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Brown spent a few hours in Smithfield Saturday. Miss Annie B. Holland attended commencement exercises at Carter's school last Saturday night. Miss Effie Brown spent the week end with Miss Eyra Brown at Pine Level. Last Wednesday night, Mr. R. L. Fitzgerald and Dr. M. Hinnant, of Micro spoke in the behalf of the Sav ings Stamps at our school. Our school bought and pledged $176. Glad our community is awaking to a sense of duty. We hope interest will continue. We are sorry to note the illness of little Thelbert Wall. We hope he will soon be out again. Our community was disappointed last Friday. The Juniors were to pre sent a flag and Bible to our school but the order failed to arrive in time. Rev. J. G. Johnson, of Smithfield, addressed the people at 11 a. m. School exercises began at 1:30 P. M. Prof. E. H. Moser, of Selma, nddress ed the audience in the evening. The exercises were enjoyed by a large gathering of people. The measles is visiting our district again. It is an unwelcome guest. "BIG BOY." FARM NOTES. 1. Those who want soy beans or cowpeas let me know as soon as pos sible; $3.65. and $3.25 respectively. 2. I have some Biggs two-ear corn also for the boys corn club. This is $5.00 a bushel. 3. To pet rid of cabbage aphids or lice spray them with soap solution; 1 pound of any good laundry soap to 3 gallons of water. 4. For Mildew on roses spray the vines or bushes with 1 to 50 parts so lution of commercial lime sulphur in the evening: about once a week. "Black leaf 40," sprayed on is pood also, and still better when mixed with soap. 5. Boys and girls who have joined the clubs go ahead and start your work and I will send you instructions and get in touch with you as soon as possible. 6. Farmers who want to put in permanent pasture demonstrations next September see me soon about it. 7. Farmers who expect to have Burr clover and Alfalfa demonstra tions next September will do well to lime the soil now if it is acid. You can get litmus paper at any drug store to test the soil to see if it is sour. Just put a small piece of it into the wet soil and if the blue paper turns pink in ten minutes the soil needs lime. Then put not less than 2, 000 pounds to the acre of ground lime stone or marl. 8. When you see a Buick Roadster with a bust of Uncle Sam on the rad iator ycu have the liberty to hail the occupant, the farm demonstrtor, and ask him all he quesions you like. YOU CAN GET A BUGGY TODAY. You may not next week. Austin Stephenson Co. ? THE SMITH FIELD MARKET.
