What Has Herbert
Bonner Done for
Martin County?
The question has been asked. The honest and un
biased answer, prepared without the knowledge ot Con
gressman Bonner and financed by one of his friends,
follows:
1. Herbert Bonner, it is admitted, has done nothing
for any one small group or log-rolled legislation that
would finance a golden image for any one town or com
munity. He has. however, done more to help all the peo
ple than possibly any one or all his predecessors.
Mr. Bonner, it is an indisputable fact, did more to
gel tobacco Included in the Lease-Lend bill than possi
bly any other Congressman or person in Washington. It
was with a view of helping all or virtually all the peo
ple in his district that he worked night and day and
pleaded the cause of the tobacco farmer before the
Lease-Lend Committee Chairman. Tobacco was includ
ed. and while no one reaped all the reward, lens of thous
ands of tobacco farmers in this, the First Congressional
District, received fair and equitable prices for their to
bacco. That accomplishment alone meant hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the farmers of this section and
to those whose economic life is closely associated with
agriculture.
2. Mr. Bonner, leaders in the Congress unhesitat
ingly say. did. as Lindsay Warren before him. every
thing in his power to promote the Lease-Lend program
when the isolationists were condemning the supporters
of the measure before the people back home. He saw
ahead the danger, and he worked, not after a grandstand
fashion but late into the hours of the night, in the inter
est of his people back home, not a few people, but all
the people.
3. No legislation has been offered in the Congress
of the United States during his stay there that Mr. Bon
ner did not give it his full and sincere support if and
when that legislation was designed to help the farmer,
the working people and others who had honored him
with the position he now holds in Washington.
4. Mr. Bonner has truly been a representative of the
people. Appeals addressed to him have received every
attention possible. He has not sought the public lime
light. but he has in a meek and humble fashion worked
for the betterment of his people and his country.
To ask mors of a representativs would be unreason
able. In appreciation of his able work, his frankness, his
fairness and his definite stand for that which is right in
the right of his people and our country, and not with
malice or the slightest disliks for the two other gentle
man who seek the high public office. I am going to vote
for Herbert Bonner, deeming it a privllegs snd an honor
to cast my vote for a man who values friendship in both
the Ugh and low places and anywhere and at any time.

in Martin County.

State College Hints
For Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
Your sugar ration is all you will
need if you plan your meals wisely,
if you cook carefully, and if you
don't waste any. But if you have
very sweet tooth and insist you
want more sugar than you are get
ting?remember, "We're in a War!"
The shadow of Japanese conquest
falls right across your spice chest.
Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, allspice,
pepper and curry come from the
southeastern Pacific. Try growing a
herb garden and learn how to use
old time recipes that depended upon
sage, thyme, rosemary, anise, cori
ander, cumin, fennel and marjoram
for their spiciness.
If you find starch spots on the bot
tom of your electric iron, try clean
ing it with a cloth wrung from soap
suds, using very mild scouring pow
der like silver polish.
If you keep aluminum clean from
day to day, you won't have to re
sort to drastic cleaning measures.
Most every metal in your house can
Ue cleaned frequently by washing in
hot, sudsy water, rinsing and dry
ing **v
The way to protect garden shoes
from moisture and mud is to keep
thom well greased and oiled. This not
only prevents the leather from be
coming hard nad dry, but it also
keeps your feet dry. For greasing
shoes, you can use neet's foot oil, or
cod or castor oil, tallow or wool
grease, or combination of these.

Plants To Be Re-set
James G. Weaver of N. C. State
College says chrysanthemum plants
that are coming up from the roots
of plants and bloomed last fall should
be taken up at this time and divid
ed. If this is done and the soil well
prepared for re-setting, the garden
er will be well repaid in choice
blooms next fall. The young shoots
should each have a good set of roots
by the time they are 4 to 5 inches
above the ground. The plants should
be set in the prepared beds not clos
er than 12 inches. Somebf the small
er flowered varieties may be placed
farther apart because of their
spreading habit of growth
?
Improvement
More definite improvement will
be noticeable shortly in consumer
demand for farm products, reports
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics of the U. S Department of Agri
culture.
?
Increase
Reports submitted by 117 commer
cial vegetable seed growers indicate
that the production of vegetable seed
is expected to be larger this year
than last because of larger acreages
and yields.

MR. TOBACCO FARMER:
If you are going to nml tobacco flues or flue repairs for the coming sea
son, it will be to your advantage to place your order now. Steel sheets, from
which flues are made, have been placed on the Government priority list, and
the future purchases, if allowed at all, will be at an extremely high price. The
price has already advanced since we purchased our sheets.
This is not an effort to pressure, or scare anyone into purchasing flues; it
is merely a statement of farts, and an attempt to save our customers money, if
possible.
