(Clarence Poe in Progressive Farmer) She was a good- woman and she talked much about how good the Lord had been to her and to her children. Cut at the same time she said: "No meatless and wheatless days for me! I've got wheat enough and I've got meat enough laid up. in my pantry, and my chfldren like it, and they are going to have it as often as they want it, and. as much of it as they want." After hearing this well-meaning woman talk lho writer picked up that nl:ht a European paper that comes to the home aad read this paragraph:' It Is said that there Is not a living child In Poland under eight years of age. "Not a living child in Poland under eight years of age!" WUh little bod ies unable to endure the hardships and starvation of a war-ruined land, they have died by thousands and teni of thousands. Thousands and tens of thousands of mothers as good as the woman who made this thoughtless re mark, mothers who loved their chil dren as much as this mother loved hers they with heart-breaking help lessness have seen their children slowly starve before their eyes, while American mothers say, "No, I will not even vary my diet in a harmless way, I will not even make substitu tions to save meat and wheat, in order that part of it may save the live3 of starving babiss and little ones In Eu rope !" No, we don't mean that any Ameri can mother is saying this in words. Certainly the good woman of whom we write would not have said it or thought it and yet by her acts, that was what she was saying. If someone could have shown her a photograph of one starving Polish child, with wan, pinched face and hollow eyes, crying to its motlr for bread she did not have oh, how quickly this American mothtr would have said: "Yes, I have plenty of wheat and I have plenty of meat, and 111 gladly divide my last crust to save the Uvea of little ones like that!" "With such a picture before her eyes, how quick ly would this American mother havs called to mind the Last Judgment'! awful curse on all the uncaring an hard of heart, "I was an-hungered an ye gave me no meat!" But she didn't know. And thu ajrain the Lord she tries to worshl might lament as of old over His peq pie, "Israel doth not know! my peel pie doth not consider!" To thi3 gooJ woman the Hoover rules for meatles days and wheatless days were slmpli Government rejulatlons simply offi! cial red tape. She didn't know thei ware meant to save the lives of llttli ones once as lair, as merry, as bright J m I . eyeu, as love-inspiring as aer own dear boys and girls! And today there are thousands o: others "like this mother who do no' know! Well-intentioned people, good-? hearted people, God-fearing people But they simply "do not know." Friends and readers, it la our duly to help these people know! Let w give of our money, but let us also givi of our time and effort for a campaign of education in these matters tc show the need of food regulation, Wai Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds, Rec Cross work. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C A. campaigns! We must save food for the starving; we must give monej to protect the wounded and to providtf wnoiesome moral recreation ror oui; soldiers instead of unwholesome a.vi immoral dissipation. And If outf f armors as is so often charged have not supported these movements at they ahould, it is not because they are more selfish, more hard-hearted, le3 patriotic, than city people. It is only because they have not been Informed, And all of us who do really under stand must here and now resolve to help inform them. In every school, in every Sunday school, In every farm ers' club, in every farm woman's club, and even as a part of almost every church service, our men and women of light and leading must do their part to arouse rural America. In the Revolutionary war it was the "embat tled farmers" at Lexington who "fired tho shot heard around the world!" In the Civil War it was the stubborn counvro of our farm men and the steadfastneso of our country women that won the world's applause for Confederate heroism! Because this war is a little farther from onr dors is no reason why we should play a less noble part. And there Is little time to lose. Many peo ple think that twelve months hence pecae will be in sight. Let us resolve therefore that during the coming year our rural people in every county will make a record of patriotism that our eons and grandsons will mention with pride even as we take prrde fn the ex ploits ot our ancestors of the 60's. What we do in the next twelve uonths will fix our place In history. ;" NOTICE North Carolina, xjn 9qW Tyrrell County, f W0, To B. B.-Jones, Register of Daeds and Exrofficio Entry Taker for the,.
