We would adviiie that all those af fected by ita passage to cut thia out and keep for reference. The General Aaaembly of North Carolina do enact: Section L That in order to be entitled to the benefit* of the lien on crope in favor of landlorda and other peraonB advancing supplies under aection 1993 and sections 2052 to 2067. incloaive, of the Re viaal of 1906, or on a chattle mort gage on crops, such landlord or per son shall charge for supplies a price or prices of not more than 10 per cent .over the retail cash price or prices of the article or articles ad vanced, and the said 10 per cent shall be in lieu of interest on the debt of such advances. If more than 10 per cent over the retail price is charged on any advances made under the lien or mortgage giv en on the crop, then the iien or mort gage shall be null and void as to | the article or articles upon which such overcharge is made. At the time of each sale there shall be de livered to the purchaser a memo randum showing the cash prices of the articles advanced. See. 2 That for the purpose of ' this act, in the caae of retail mer chant*, the retail cash price or I price* shall be the regular cash i price or prices charged by the same 1 merchant to cash customers for the same article or articles in the same quantity at the same time. In the case of advances of supplies by land- I lords or other persons not engaged in business as retail merchants, or t by retail merchants who have no i regular cash prices, if, the prices charged are called into question by > the purchaser, the retail cash pries ] or prices of the supplies advanced I may be determined by taking the 1 average between the cash price or prices for the same class or classes i of goods of two neighboring mer- I chant* one selected by the landlord < or other person making the advance, I and the other by the one to whom < the advance is made; Provided, that i no agreement or anderstanding be tween the parties as to the price or 1 prices to be charged shall work an 1 estoppel against the person to whom ] supplies have been advanced from showing that the price or prices ] charged were in fact more than 10 per cent over the average retail cash price or prices in that locality at the time the advance or advances were made. If the price or priees charged by the merchants or the landlord were in fact more than 10 , per cent, then the lien shall be null ; and void as declared in the preced | ing section. Sec. S That any person tirm or corporation, including any bank or credit union, making any advance ment jn money to any person for the purpose of enabling such pe?son to cultivate a crop, and taking as sole security for the advances so made, a lien or mortgage on the crops to be cultivated and the per sonal property of the person to whom the advances are made, may charge, in lieu of interest, a com mission of not more than 10 per. cent of the amount of money actual ly advanced: Provided, that money advanced under the provisions of this section shall be advanced in in stallments agreed upon at the time of tliie contract, and the 10 per cent commission herein allowed shall not be deducted, but shall be added to the amount of money agreed to be advanced. Sec. 4 In case the money shall be advanced by a credit union the funds derived from the 10 per cent commission allowed in section 3 of this act shall be use^ to pay such interest as the union may pay for the money borrowed by it for the benefit of its members, and to cover: losses sustained by the union on ac count of Uwns made to members, and to further convey any reason able expenses incurred by the union in connection with the loan* made to members; and the balance of 1 ' * ' . said fund shall be returned to the borrower* at the end of each year. See. 5. All liens, mortgagee, made undef the provisions of this act shall be valid for its face value and before maturity even though the charges made are in excess of those allowed in this act, but in Buch cases the party to whom the advances are made shall have the right to recover from the party making the advances any sum he may be compelled to pay a third party in excess of the charges al lowed by this act. Sec. 6 This act shall gblinto effect ?n the 1st. day of January, 1918, and shall apply to all advances made for the year 1918, and there after. ? ? ? Mow to Prevent Croup.

We certainly cannot go on much longer with |pocery-shelf gardening and escape the bankruptcy court. Town dwellers, wage-earners and salaried people have certainly got to climb out of tin cans this spring and climb into old clothea in back yard garden spaces a little while in the mornings and evenings, and cul tivate hoe-handle sense in sheer self defense. It's Hobeon's choice, considering the war-time price of every blessed thing that goes on the table now-a- i days. There is grim tragedy in the jest i of the New Yorker who said to his i green grocer the other day, ".Here's < a dollar bill. Send a potato 'round to my house, and if nobody's at i home, just shove the blame thing c through the key-hole." I The plain truth is that the pay i envelope does not begin to cover i the cost of living in towns and cities . any where in this country, and" it is ' less likely to do so the next twelve 1 months than ever before in half a hundred years. __ 1 Lut Down the Grocery Bill. In ordinary times, just aboyt two fifths of a thousand dollar Income (foes to pay for the bread and meat consumed in the average home, rhis year the family pantry calls for a ful three fourths of it. We've got to get busy and get busy, in a hurry. The advice we are giving to our selves is, Get busy in a little family garden at home. The home garden can cut the gro cery bill in two, as the common phrase has it. We've a brisk Yan kee neighbor who has done this very thing for years. Even with the customary careless attention given to gardening, 55 average farm families in a Carolina .?ounty in 1913 got a fourth of their table supplies out of their little gar dens and orchards; or so the Wash ington authorities found. A little more attention And skill would easily double or treble the Fraction in any family buge t.-News Letter. Honor Roll of Wlntoa Hifh School. PRIMARY DEPARTMENT. First. Grade: Nellie Banks.

SPENDING A MII'S ' MONET WISELY If you were the mayor or a mem ber of the board of aldermen of a eity or town and a large sum of money were left that tofrn, what would you spend it for? Thia was the question that Cleveland. Ohio, was recently called on to answer. A wealthy manufacturer, Mr. Fred erick A. Goff by name, turned over to that town, a magnfficient sum to be used for what ever it thought beet. A board of trustees was straightway appointed who made a study of community conditions to find out what were the greatest needs and wherein would come the greatest returns. The consensus of opinion was that the public schools was the object for which they were looking. Consequently, a thorough, scientific survey by an expert sociologist was ordered made of the schools. On phase of this survey was a study of health conditions to dis cover the needs that would safe guard schoolchildren from disease and render them healthier, happier and more vigorous in the future. Among the activities recommended the following are of special impor tance: ' "Medical school inspection for the prevention of contagious dis eases and for the discovery and cure of remediable- physical defects. "Dental inspection for the pur pose of securing sound teeth. "Open-air schools for giving to the physical weak such advantages >f pure air, good food and warm sunshine may enable them to pur lue their studies while regaining their health. "Special classes and schools for the physically handicapped and mentally exceptional that they may receive the care and instructions Rtted to their needs'. "School gardens which serve as nature study laboratories where ed ucation and recreation go hand in hand and increased knowledge is icccmpained by increased bodily efficeincy." ? Other agencies recommended were increased activities of the school nurse, organized atheletics, school playgrounds, instruction and practice in personal and community hygiene and better schoolhouse san itation. Comparison of Soybeans and Cowpeas. '"Experiments show that soybeans are better yielders, when planted in rows and cultivated.' than are cow peas. The beans also are a more certain crop for hav and seed than are cowpeas. Not only is this true on well-drained land, but it is true also on land that is fairly well drained, when once a stand has been secured. Un the DiacK sous 01 me eastern portion of the State it has been found that soy beans usually thrive when the same effort put into the growth of cowpeas many times meets with failure, or with very poor returns. Not only \his, but in sections of the State where, during the late spring or early fall, the nights are cool, the soybeans will be found to be much better adapted than the cowpea. This is of partic ular interest to those farmers whose places are located under conditions which requite such crop* as will thriVfc ln cool nights and complete their growth in a comparatively short period under these Conditions. In most cases the total growth produced by soybeans will b? equal, or larger than that produced by cowpeas. The cost in growing the two crops in rows will be practically the same. This may possibly be a little in favor of the betns, however, because of the case with which the 'cultivations may be conducted, due to their upright habit of growth. Particularly is this true when com pared with the varieties of cowpeas that have a strong tendency to run.

C., and Mrs. J. A. Mc Bryde, of Jonesboro. Mrs. Chaffin joined the Methodist church at Len oir Institute in 1856 under the pas torate of Rev. Jessie A.

Besides her children from out of town there were present a grand son, Mr. Leonidas Chaffin, of Kip ling, N. C., and a stepson, Mr' Rob ert Chaffin, of Lnmberton. N. C. SPRING BREAKING MEANS CLODDY LAND On account of the unfavorable season during the fall and winter^ there will be a lot of late breaking of land during the spring, with the resulting clods and soil baking. To overcome this, suggests Mr. B. W. Collett. Assistant Director of Branch Stations, it should be made a point on every farm to harrow the land as soon after plo'wing as possible. One of the imles observed on the Branch Station farm is to plow no more land than can be harrowed during the day. It takes very little time to hitch up to the harrow and catch up with the plows every day, and there is no other time when harrowing will do the soil as much good as when it is first plowed. Harrowing the land over twice would be better than just once. However, not every man has the time nor teams to do. thia, but he should take time to harrow once. This one simple thing Will mean much to the root system of the plant and will make it possible for a larger amount of food to be ayailable in the soil. Resolutions of Respect r Mr*. Sal He T.
