Winston, of Raleigh, in Charity and Children. You ask, "Why did we go into this war?" May I try to tell you? And I will take Germany's last offense first. In 1916 Gernvdny was sinking all enemy's ships without warning, contrary to law. We overlooked this. We adopted the advice of Charity and Children, "Let Americans sail on American ships and keep off belliger ent ships." We followed this advice. Americans generally sailed only on American ships. We swallowed our pride, gave up our rights, wrote note after note, and begged Germany not to make war upon our unoffending men, women and children, upon our commerce; not to violate the laws of the seas. Her answer was to sink American hospital ships, to destroy Belgian relief ships and even to tor pedo American Red Cross ships on their mission of mercy; hundreds of men, women, children, some sick, many wdunded, others dying, indis criminately, and without warning, de liberately and preineditatedly, not once, but time and time again, sent to the bottom of the sea. This was the :traw that broke the camel's back. We fought Spain and liberated Cuba because of the tyranny, cruelty and barbarv of Spanish rule. Shall it be Raid that we will fight for a small tyrant but will run from a big one? May the Germans, unmolested, break solemn treaties, overrun peaceful Bel gium, destroy fair France, annex Ser bia, outrage women, burn houses and churches, terrorize little children, and r,hall we not join thepolice force and put down this terror which menaces the "peace of the world for genera tions? This is our !egal and moral si oaoaoaoaoaoaoaoa?aca'3aoa--aa.---., aoaoaQaoaoaoaoaoaoaoacaja3a-, -V Mount Olive was the scene of a very pretty marriage Wednesday morning, justification. God knows it is enough when Miss Mayo McCurry became the bride of Mr. R. Mack Williams. The church was very artistically decorated with palms, ferns and shas ta daisies, these being banked so as to form a background for the bridal party. Promptly "at ten o'clock, as Miss Ellen McPhail began playing Men delssohn's "Wedding March," little Elizabeth Wooten, cousin of the groom, and Amelia Williams, niece of the bride and groom, dressed in pret ty frocks of white organdie with light blue taffeta jumpers, came down the right and left aisles and looped back the ribbons for the ushers, Messrs. Ralph English and Guy Ross, to pass. These took' their places near the altar. "Then came little Vttnma Tate Wil liams, daintily dressed in white net over silk, bearing the wedding ring in an Easter lilly. Down the right aisle came the groo.rsi with his best man, Mr. J. E. Kelly, while the bride followed down the left aisle with her sister, Mrs. George Williams, as dame of honor. They met at the altar, where the bride's pastor, Rev. J. M. Wright, performed the ceremony. Dur ing the ceremony Miss McPhail played MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose." The bride wore a tailored suit of midnight blue poiret wtill, with boots and accessories, and carried a shower bouquet of Bride's roses and valley lillies; while Mrs. Williams, the dame of honor, wore a gown of Georgette crepe and taffeta, with hat, shoes and gloves to match, .nd carried la France roses. Mr. and Mrs. Williams left on the 10:45 a. m. train for a bridal trip to Washington, Baldimore and other cit ies. The bride is a young woman of charming personality, having received her education at the State Normal College. She was formerly of Mor- ganton, but has made her home here for the past three years, where she has very creditably filled the chair of professor of mathematics in the high school. Mr. Williams is a graduate of Davidson College, and well-to-do business man with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, whose very best wishes Mr. and Mrs. Wil liams will have for a life of peace, plenty and happiness. The popularity of the happy couple was attested by the large array of useful arid beautiful gifts they re ceived. The out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. Harvey Edwards and Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Miller, of Snow Hill. But suppose we had not entered the fight at all. We woul then have been branded as cowards by the nations of the earth, dubbed "Old Money Bags;" China would have outclassed us. It is not all of life to live. Well, we would have stayed out and saved our bodies and lost our souls. Germany would have won the war; she would have taken over Belgium; the rich coal July Forecast Estimates a Bil- lion Bushels Increase in Principal Food Crops. A billion bushels increase over last year's production in the principal food crops in the response American have made to President Wilson's mid-April appeal, saying that upon them "rests the fate of the war and the fate of nations." The extent of the farmers' re sponse was disclosed when a produc tion of 6,903,000,000 bushels of prin cipal food crops was forecast in the Department of Agriculture's July crop report. The forecast estimates that this year's corn crop will be the largest in history except one ana that four and possibly five other crons will make new highr ecords. The corn crop, which with favora ble weather from now on may equal the number yield of 1912, shows an increase of 541,000,000" bushels over last "year with a total of 3,124,000, 000 bushels. The acreage is 14 per cent larger than last year. The combined winter and spring wheat crop will be 38,000,000 bushels more than last-year's, with a total of 678,000,000 bushels. Barley, with prospects of the third largest crop ever grown, will exceed last year's production by 33,000,000 bushels, with an output of 214,000, 000 bushels. . Oats promise to exceed last year's crop by 201,000,000 bushels, the total production being forecast at 1,453, 000,000 bushels. That is slightly under the record. Improvement be tween now and harvest, however, may result in a record crop. White potato production on a 22-1-2 per cent increase in acreage, will be a record crop, with 452,000, 000 bushels, or 167,000,0000 bushels more than last year, not taking into account the home garden production, which this year is estimated to be much larger than ever before. Rye, another record crop this year, will amount to 56,100,000 bushels, or 8,700,000 bushels more than last year. ca n ao oa Sa c's n 0 C ao oa ao oa ao oa 11 FTTT1 I FME2 FIRET ca 3 C 1 ca ao ca 3 oa j C 1 ca ao ca 3 C 3 C O g? ca 3 oa 3 C 3 oa 3 Ca 3 C 3 oa 3 C 3 C 3 Ca 3 C ? 3 Ca 3 ca 3 ca a3 oa a 3 ca ?i o ca a3 ca S3 ARE YOU PREPARED? - . . - a - i i Don t be too late, alter the tire occurs is too late i see about your fire insurance-you cannot afford to without fire protection.

British fleet and received an indem nity so large that the Kaiser and Hin denburg and Von Tirpitz would have said, "See what we have done, any war is a good war when it increases the power of the State." The war-like German people and the German army, flushed with victory and wealth, would have backed up this sentiment and poor little shrinking United States would be hiding away in a corner with her money bags concealed under the bed and Germany would be saying to her, "Come out, you must make good the loss which you inflicted upon us by furnishing arms and munitions and food and contraband of-war to our en emies." We would have shelled out all right! Talk about a million men springing to arms overnight, why my dear friend., a half million trained sol diers with high grade machine guns could and would over-run and conquer our one hundred milfTon unarmed, un trained and peaceful citizens as fast as they could march from city to city. They did ft in Serbia, they did it in Roumania, and they did it in Russia; yet Serbs, Roumanians and Russians were as well armed aswe are and bet ter trained. But this is not the worst that would have befallen us. By that time we would have begun to wake up to the fact that Germany's conquest of Eng land was the enthronement of force and we would have begun to arm our selves and get ready for the final bat tle between civilization and savagery. Our boys would have left the farms for the camp and more money would have been spent on arms and muni tions, on the pomp and ceremony of war than on internal ' improvements, Education, food, raiment, charity and religion combined. We. know that the entrance of America into this war will bring peace to the nations and dethrone Force. We believe that the Kaiser is r.n anarchronism. We feel that the stars in their courses are aeainst Sisera, but we also know if civiliza tion is saved we must do our part to cave it. My youngest, the Benjamin of our household, is now intraining for the conflict. You do not despise war more than J, but I feel that this generation had better face the trials of the hour than postpone them for our children and grandchildren to settle on a blood ier and vaster scale. OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often fnrsrt that neglected colds, or careless treats inent ot slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength-building and blood-nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate -rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's. Scott & Bowne. Bloomfield, N. J. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is an instructor in the cooking school for naval reserves at Newport. Biliousness and Stomach Trouble. "Two years ago I suffered from frequent attacks of stomach trouble and biliousness," writes Miss Emma Verbryke, Lima, Ohio. "I could eat very little food that agreed with me and I became sod izzy and sick at my stomach at times that Ihad to take hold of something to keep from fall ing. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets advertised I decided to try them I improved rapidly." Obtainable everywhere. 11,000,000 bushels more that last year. Rice "production will be 34,400,000 bushels, the second largest crop ever produced. Production of tobacco will break another record with a crop of 1,215, 000,000 pounds, which is 64,000,000 pounds more than was grown last year. A marked increase in acreage of all of the principal corn producing States of the South Is shown in the 1917 crop figures forecasting a rec ord corn yield for the United States of 3,124,000,000 bushels. The acre age increase for 1917 over 1916 ranged from 2 per cent in Oklaho ma to 25 per cent in Alabama. North Carolina's increase is 14 per cent 3,306,000 acres and the estimat ed yield 63,277,000 bushels. ao ca ao oa ao NEWS ITEMS FROM WORRY Correspondence of The News-Herald.

The mayor of Somerville, Massa chusetts, has hit upon an idea that should spread like a smile across the face of the whole country. When young vandals and youthful trespass ers in gardens are caught, they will be sentenced to work in the "disciplin ary garden" that the city has estab lished for that purpose. The idea has grown out of a practice of the Somer ville police court of compelling young evildoers to make some sort of resti tution to thse whm they have injured.

Popular Boston LadySays Ton oline Has Proven a Godsend to Her. It is always interesting to listen to the statements of our friends, and es pecially when you know they are sin cere and honest in what they say. Added interest is created in a state ment coming from one who has spent a lifetime in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart, who resides in Boston, and is posess ed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for any one to call on her to verify the fol lowing signed testimonial: "F have suffered with stomach trou ble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspep sia. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment arid cause fas to form in my stomach. I had pains all over my body and was chronically constipated. My liver was torpid, and I felt gen erally miserable. I had doctored andjea had been in the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nerv ous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas pressing un der my heart caused palpitation, and when I arose in the morning I was just as tired as when I retired. About two wees ago I began to take tonoline, and I can truthfully state that it has done wonders in my case. I am feel ing like a new woman and can eat any kind of food. I sleep the night through and have no more aches and pains; in fact, it has cured me, and I am recommending it to all my friends, as it has been a God-send to me."
