C., under act of March 3, 1870. THURSDAY, FEB. 11th IMS COUNTY CHAIRMAN OF RATION ING EXPLAINS ABOUT SHOES "Mr. Ryan McBryde, Chairman of Hoke County War Price and Ration-, ing Board, today explained the reas on for America's shoe rationing pta gram. 'Wartime demands for leather and manpower have slowed down the production of civilian shoes. In ad dition, more of the remaining supply is needed for our armed forces. With supplies scarce, our rationing; pro-' gram will divide what we have lair-, ly among consumers and at thaame time enable merchants to maintain reasonably adequate and balanced stock,' Mr. McBryde said. 'Beginning Tuesday. February 9. you will need stamp No. 17 from War Ration Book 1, Sugar Book, to buy a pair of shoes, This stamp will be good until June IS 1943,' Mr. McBryde said, and' cau tioned all people that they must tak their ration books with them when they go to buy shoes. 'If anyone has emergency shoe needs, they can get a special certificate from the War Price and Rationing Board,' said Mr. McBryde. 'Merchants must use ex treme care to keep all shoe stamps and certificates that customers give them,' continued Mr. McBryde. 'Cus tomers may exchange one pair of un used shoes for another without sur rendering any stamps, if merchants wish to make exchange. However, if customers return a pair.of shoes for a refund or credit, merchants must give them a stamp No. 17 and a re ceipt for the returned footwear. Cus tomers must present both the stamp and the receipt when they buy shoes from another merchant,' said Mr. Mc Bryde. When asked about future delivery of shoes which were bought before February 8, Mr. McBryde said, 'Shoes wrapped, marked, shipped or held for delivery, or shoes put aside on the lay-away plan, before Febru ary 8, may be delivered or given to a carrier for delivery any time be fore midnight February 11, without requiring customer to surrender a stamp. This applies only to shoes purchased before February 8,' Mr. McBryde continued. POOLE'S MEDLEY Continues ... Br I). SCOTT POOLE .- Then the men and horse are out in all sorts of weather, so they were out gradually. The man and a horse can go for several years some times when they go three days and stay at. home three each week. We used to go to the post office Sunday afternoon for mail. We ap preciated Uncle Sam's interest in us in bringing papers and letters so near our doors. Mail carriers kindly carried mail to folks who lived along the route. That was neighborly. Peo- ple'were always kind. Silt Raeford. It was a ccuntry post office at a store where folks could get moil and coffee at the same time. That saved. We traded eggs for cof fee. We got along on mighty little in those days. Barter is a business of other days You do but little exchanging nowa days. We get cash, and pay cash most of the time. Money was scarcer then. In fact there was no money. A fel low at St. Pauls got a dun one day, and the fellow urged: "Please re mit." and he said "everybody ought to know there are no money." Yes. war proves the government could provide money to live off the government can provide cash to fight it, it can do the same thing to live In peace. Why not? It is distressing to. live without money. It is a great comfort ta meet small wants. Some folks hoard money. Some lose money anyway money hides, gets gone and folks have a hard Governments do too much caring for time. I know by experience; by the most advanced school experience, the rich to the neglect of the poor, because from the rich most tax mon ey is derived. Rich folks pay no taxes not if they are in business. Any of us can increase our profits enough to pay our taxes if we have a mind to, if we administer to the necessities of others. Add a few cents here and there, and get all the money extra you need for your taxes. But folks who administer to no one's needs, get no opportunity to gain ex tra money. But remember, it is my fault I am poor, not yours nor any one else's. Had I saved my earnings, and made investments, these would have help ed me to earn more. But nearly everybody lives from hand-to-mouth, because they do not save what they make, and have their money helping them. Raeford Institute, a college prepar atory school was founded by Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Dickson, who had a num ber of children they wished to edu cate, and their friend, John W. Mc Lauchlin. In 1901 the town of Rae ford was incorporated by the state General Assembly, taking the name of (he post office. Thus the Dicksons and McLauch lins were the founders of a nice lit tle town with a good reputation. There is little in the town to perpet uate the names of its founders. And the good school that sent out a num ber of ministers of the Gospel, the Light of the World t now hardly a memory. No better reputation can be attain ed than that of truth and honesty. Where no regard for these virtues, there can be no advance in higher living, but a constant condescention toward degredation and shame. Rae ford is noted for the high life of its citizens. JANUARY HOME DEMONSTRA TION AGENTS NARRATIVE REPORT FOR HOKE Eleven Home Demonstration Clubs met in Hoke County in January with an attendance of 152. The Major Pro j ject was "The Farm Family Plans for Action." New year books were dis tributed at each meeting. Until Jan uary there have been 10 Home Dem onstration Club in the county. How ever, on January 25 a new club was organized in the Arabia Community. Twenty two charter members were February 7th-13th "31 Years of Service" America's Future Leaders present. The meeting was held in Hendrix's Grill and Mr. David Hen- drix has kindly given the club mem bers permission to meet there here after. Mrs. Ruth Bristow was elect ed President, Mrs. Stanley Crawley, Vice President, and Mrs. Weldon Maxwell, Secretary and Treasurer of the new club. The Home Agent, as a member of the County Library Association, as sisted in serving the Kiwanis Club on Ladies night, January 7. The Home Agent spent January 13 at Lumberton where she attend ed a school for Agents of this dis trict. The Farm and Home Agents spent January 28 in Fayetteville where they attended a meeting on 4-H Mobilization. At the Mildouson Club meeting, the President, Mrs. N. H. G. Balfour, announced that Mrs. Ernest Hare, a member of the Raedeen club, had won the Mildouson quilt. This was a bit unusual as last month Mrs. Hare solicited $12.00 for quilt in her own club. Her fellow club members feel that she most certainly deserves the quilt. Mrs. Percy English, President of the Rockfish Club told at the Jan uary meeting of lending her pres sure cooker recently to a colored wo man in her neighborhood. Mrs. Eng lish gave the woman instructions on the use of the cooker and also in formation on meat canning. When the cooker was returned the colored woman told that site had canned 96 quarts of beef. This was a real pa triotic service on the part of Mrs. English and is typical of many Hoke County club women. Approximately 125 Red Cross slips were distributed to club women at January meetings. These are to be made and returned at February meetings. A number of club mem bers are also doing Red Cross knit ting. Nearly every club in the county is making at least one quilt which will be turned over to the red cross when the quilts are completed. These will be kept by the local Red Cross chap-' ter and will be used or given away in case of emergency. The Mildouson Club voted in Jan uary to buy their first war bond. The Home Agent, who serves as Vice Chairman of Women's Division for War Savings Bonds and Stamps, attended a district meeting at South ern Pines on Saturday morning, Jan uary 16. Mrs. P. P. McCain, of San atorium, who is Chairman of the dis trict, presided at the meeting. Fifty-three books were checks to club women during the month. Josephine Hall, Home Agent.

To have the plants operate at full capacity and efficiency, a balanced fertility program providing for lime, phosphate, and potash must be followed. Since legumes are greedy feeders on potash and remove large amounts of it from the soil, this nutrient is very im portant in "growing your own nitrogen" for the following crop or grass-legume pastures If you are in doubt as to the fertility of your soil, consult your official agricultural authorities regarding soil tests and proper fertilization.
