THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. 225 West 89th Street. New York City, is our. sole and exclusive Foreign Advertising Agent. "Long May It Wave." According to confidential letters from the North Caraolina Food Ad ministration we are permitted to in form our readers that they will soon have to "tote" their food purchases home themselves. Mr. Page's, heart is set on abolishing free deliveries throughout the state. He is of the opinion that it will tend to lower the price of merchandise, but so far we have not; been able to agree with Mr. Page, but on the contrary we con tend that it will increase the cost. In stead of being able to place your or der with your grocer as at present and have it delivered, you will have to go in person to the store, and after buying hire a drayman to haul it home for you, therefore actually ad ding to the already heavy burden. w. s. s. YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY. Remember that this is the last week in which you can subscribe for the NEWS at the rate of $1.50 per year. After the 15th we will be compell ed to raise our rate to $2.00 per year; also cut off our list all who are not paid in advance. The latter is a gov ernment regulation. If your name has a big red X after it this week it is an indication that your subscription has expired, and unless renewed before next week your name will be dropped from our list. W. S. b CHARGED .WITH HOUSE BREAKING. L. F. Habel, F. D. Miller, Myrtle Ryan, W. A. Hargesheimer and J. F. Colley were arrested and arraigned before Magistrate Gash, Tuesday, arx a charge of housebreaking. Frorrv the evidence it seems that Harges heimer and Colley, who are U. S. soldiers stationd at Camp Wadsworth, employed Habel, who runs a public car to bring them and the Ryan woman, to Tryon. Habel i nvited Miller, a friend, to join them. They arrived in Tryon, and the woman told them to go on to Skyuka, where they would find entertainment, and that she had permission of Mr. Calvert, owner of Skyuka to go there whenever she so desired. Arriving at Skyuka about midnight the woman led the way, opening the door and entering. The two civilians in the machine did not go into the house until invited to do so by those who had previously enter ed. Not satisfied with forcing their way into the house they broke open a closet and took therefrom two bot tles of whiskey. They were arrested the following morning and brought to Tryon for trial, when the above facts were brought forth. Magistrate Gash released Habel and Miller, turned Hargesheimer and Colley over to the military authorities, bound the Ryan woman over to the grand jury in a bond of $200. Being unable to fill it she was taken to the Columbus jail. w. s. s. LUCAS- REICH. A delightfully pretty and simple wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Reich, when their only daughter, May Charlotta, was married to Mr. Carval Clark Lucas, of Durham, N. C, on Wednesday even ing, September 4, in the presence of about 40 of the bride's friends. Dr. M- L. Taft performed the ceremony. The bride- looked lovely in a simple white crepe de chine dress with em broidered hem and girdle and a long veil arranged in coronet style, held in place with pearl bands. She carried a fairy-hke boquet of peas and ferns. Her matron of honor was Mrs. Law- rei?C(l Sewart Presson (nee Gaines) who had a charming frock of shell pink ftet over satin with satin jacket, the whole trimmed with chiffon roses and sequins. She carried a boquet of bridesmaid roses The groom . was attended by Mr. Julius Sawyer, as his best man, was unable at the last min- Both were dressed in the convention al evening suit.

Mr. uorwin sang several songs during the evening and Mr. Dwight Smith read a group of poems written by the bride's oldest Drotner, Jtienry Reich, Jr., who is in the u. b. avia tion service now in France. Punch was served during the evening on the 1M. .1 t 1 porch. Mrs. .Lucas lelt on the nignt train for Durham, N. C, where the crronm is encased in the loose leaf to bacco business. The brides traveling dress was a fine blue serge with taupe trimmings, and a gray feather toque. Mrs. Lucas seems to have pleased ev eryone with her choice, and both she and her husband took with them the best wishes of the community. CONTRIBUTED. w s. s. PERTINENT FARM REMINDERS. 1st. Now is the time for every far mer in Polk county to sow some le gume and winter cover crops. On thin land sow rye and vetch. On good land where it is desirable to follow corn after a present crop of corn, sow crimson clover; sow rye and crimson clover or sow separately. Sow some thing. Don't let your land go bare and leach away all winter. 2nd. Now is the time to sow for permanent pastures. Don't try to make a permanent pasture on poor (dead) land. It won't pay. Good pas pastures call for good land. 3rd. Now is the time to get busy about that wheat crop for bread foi next year. North Carolina is called upon for a ten per cent increase of wheat next year. Can we do it? Yes. How? By sowing a little ear lier than usudl. By giving more thorough preparation of seed bed. By a better selection of seed. By treat ing all seed sown for smut. By drill ing instead of broadcasting, and use more 16 per cent acid phosphate. 4th. The fall task. Here are all the things above mentioned, and then, in addition is cotton picking, corn to gather, sorghum to make, potatoes, beans and peas to get in, and a thous and and one things to do that our city dwellers know nothing about. Can we do all these things? Yes. How? By modilizing every moment of child woman and man and horse power on the farm. Let the school committee and teacher in every rural school agree with the parents in their re spective districts, to begin school one hour earlier each day, or as soon as convenient after breakfast, and dis miss one hour earlier in the afternoon Then in the home, let the father and mother, agree upon a plan on each i'arm, whereby the father will, with the larger boys and girls, do the heavier work, and the mother with the younger boys and girls, do the lighter work. Small children can pick beans, peas, cotton and gather cane seed, fodder, etc., where some one will direct. And no one can stimulate little folks as the mother can. In ordinary times field work is not a job for women and little child ren, but we are passing through a period of destruction, when every, available unit of labor must come to the task. The love, of country and of humanity cry aloud, and all sentiment, must go, and a realization of the great task on our hands takes its place. Let every one keep up a brave spir it. Don't get on the long face. The 'Blue Funk" helps no one. The task truly is great, but the glory will only jpq greater when the battle is won, ftnd won it must be,a nd won it shall be, and there will be honor and glory for every one who fights.
