better schools. The little amount of
15 cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property is not much to the

much to the schools.

The Base-ball Team arid The Red
Cross.
The Smithfield Chapter desires to
thank the members of the Base-ball
team of Turlington Graded School,
for their generosity in giving us all
of their portion of the money re
ceived from the game, on Thursday
afternoon. The young gentlemen
bore all the necessary expenses them
selves, and turned a nice sum into the
Chapter's treasury.

What Should We Mix With Flour?
The Government has asked every
family to conserve wheat in order that
our soldiers and the soldiers of the
other countries who are fighting with
us may be fed. How can we best do
this? After eating all the corn bread
we can the next b^st thing to do is
to mix other cereals with our flour to
make it go further. Corn meal and
flour make good muffins and a little
corn meal in flour will make good
biscuit, but very much meal seems to
take away most of the flour taste in
the biscuits. If biscuits are wanted
the best thing of which we know to
mix with the flour is rye flour. It
makes the biscuits dark but they are
good. Put about one-fourth to one
third rye flour with the wheat flour.
The rye flour costs about the same as
wheat flour but it helps to conserve
the wheat.

Mrs. Chilton to Be Here.
Everyone who attended the Chau
tauqua last Summer will hail with
pleasure the news that Mrs. William
Calvin Chilton is to visit our town
again in the capacity of entertainer.
Mrs. Chilton is a graceful reader. In
her rendition of dialect and humorous
selections she is incomparable. She
has a variety of programs any one of
which will be sure to delight. Her
interpretations of southern stories by
southern writers, among whom we
note Thomas Nelson Page, James Lane
Allen, and Joel Chandler Harris, are
especially fine. The Woman's Club
is exceedingly fortunate in having
Mrs. Chilton in their Lyceum Course
this ~pring. She will give an enter
tainment at the Opera House on
Thursday evening, May 2nd, at 8:30
o'clock.
Clayton and Smithfield Over.
Clayton was the first town in John
ston County to raise its quota of the
Third Liberty Loan and has raised its
Service Flag. Smithfield is the second
town of Johnston County to "go over
the top," rasng its full quota of the
Third Liberty Loan, and on next
Tuesday will receive and raise its
Service Flag. It was announced that
Hon. James H. Pou would be present
to make a patriotic address on the
?occasion, but it turned out that it will
be impossible for him to be present,
but some prominent speaker will be"
here to address the people on this oc
casion. The speaking will be at 12:00
o'clock.
The Service Flag will be swung out
over Market street Tuesday at noon.
The teachers and pupils of Turling
ton Graded School will be present in
a body.
Smithfield's quota is $72,800. This
had been already over-subscribed.
One bank of the town has sold 176,
000. This work is going on and far
more than the town's -quota of the
Third Liberty Loan will be subscribed
here. The ladios of the Woman's
Committee are doing good work and
have helped Smithfield to go "over
the top."

FARM NOTES.

Farm Demonstrator.
CLl B NOTES.
1. Mr. W. H. Austin, of Smithfield.
has ordered forty thousand cans for
the club girls of Johnston County.
These cans will be in the second week
in May. They will be sold for forty
nine dollars a thousand.
2. Help Uncle Sam by producing
the food that you eat. When you do
this you are rendering a patriotic ser
vice. When you produce your own
food more can be sent to the Allies.
3. You live in town, have a back
yard garden, if that is all the space j
you can get. The back-yard garden
is very important because it improves |
the home surroundings and produces
food at the same time. The back |
yard is often an unsightly place and
when it is changed into a well cared
for garden, the home is made more
beautiful.
4. If you have not already done so,
plant Pimento pepper in your garden.
This vegetable is very important for
canning.
5. Receipe for corn bread;
2 cups of corn meal'.
2 cups sour milk.
1 teaspoon soda.
1 teaspoon sugar.
2 tablespoons fat.
1 teaspoon salt.
1 egg.
Mix dry ingredients. Add milk, well
beaten egg, and melted fat. Beat
well. Bake for about thirty minutes.
6. It will soon be time for the
house fly. Be sure that your screen
doors close, and the garbage can is
well covered.
FARM NOTES.
Read the article in last Saturday's
News and Observtr on ''The Dual
Purpose Cattle for North Carolina."
That applies to Johnston County now
as never before.
, Sheep has a place on the average
farm here. They will keep down
enough weeds and underbush to pay
for their keep. The cash for the
mutton and the wool will be profit.
There is a good market for them now
and will be for some time. We especi
ally need the wool. See me or your
township board for further informa
tion.
Do not forget to arrange for a patch
of wheat this fall. Arrange your
crops so it can be sown the last week
in October.
I will test the dip in your vats but
you will pay for the ingredients that
go into it. The government does not
furnish this material in tick free ter
ritory.
The potatoe beetle will soon be out
to sample the young plants nnd if you
spray them with arsenate of lead now
and then again ten days later he will
retreat. Use two pounds of arsenate
lead to fifty gallons of water, or Ror
deau Mixture. In smaller amounts
use a tablespoonfull to a gallon of
water.
If there is anyone growing the ,
Texas Wood Cotton here I will be
glad to know about it for breeding !
purposes.
The fruit trees that have dead or
dying twigs in them now should be
cut out two or three inches biffk of
the effected part. In the young trees
rub the sprouts off the trunk now for
this will leave more food material for
the upper branches.

Death of J. F. Lawhon.
A correspondent writes that "On
Tuesday night, April 16, Mr. J. F.
Lawhon died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. N. O. Allen. He had
been afflicted for many years and for
a few months was confined to his room
with an attack of typhoid fever. He
improved and recovered so that he
could be out again, when on Sunday,
April 14th, he was stricken with pa
ralysis which ended fatally.
Mr. Lawhon was about 65 years of
age. He had never united with any
church, but seemed to believe in the
faith of the Second Advents. A short
while before his death he called in his i
neighbors to pray for him, and said
that he had read his Bible and prayed
daily and that he believed he had
found the bright side of life. His peo
ple will miss him. All who knew him
loved him.
He leaves a wife, two children, sev
eral grand-children, and a host of
friends and relatives to mourn his de
parture.
Our Joe Miller Contest.
Anon clainfls that he read this one
in an almanac dated 1848. A man
called on a farmer and asked if the
farmer had any rats. The farmer
said the place was over-run with
them. Thereupon the man offered to
kill all the rats on the place for $2.
The farmer accepted the offer. The
man then requested a chopping block.
This was brought. The man then re
quested a sharp hatchet. And this
was brought. "Now," said the man
to the farmer, "bring on your rats!"
And in them days this was consid
ered a good joke. ? Charlotte Observ
