SOLDIER BOYS.
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.

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.

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.

"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

There will be no exaggeration in your "fish
