SOLDIERS' BUSINESS I, AID COMMITTEE i We give below the aims, purposes ' and organization of the Soldier*' Business Aid Committee as outlined I by the State Chairman D. H. Hill, i Hertford County's Chairman is At- I torney W. D. Boone of Winton, who 1 has working with him from the va rious townships in the County L. J. i Lawrence of Murfreesboro, W. L. 1 Curtis of Ahoskie, G. C. Picot of Como, Jas. M. Eley of Woodland, I J. A. Powell of Harrellsville. i Aims, Purpose and Organization. The purpose of the committee shall be to render assistance to U. i S. soldiers, sailors, and marines in managing the details of their pri vate business while they are away f roni home, and to render them as sistance in obtaining employment i when they return. i Hereafter the word "soldier" i shall be construed to include all per sons in the military or, naval service i of the^Unitee States. The details of the business especially to be looked after, upon request of a sol dier, are: ' a. To rende>- without charge any legal service desired from time of call to the colors unt'l end of war. b. To see that during the absence of the soldier there shall be no lapse in his insurance policies, no failure to pay taxes on property nor inter est on mortgage indebtedness, and to make such" legral transfers of property as the soldier or his family may desire. c. To see that no advantage shall be taken of any soldier in legal pro ceedings in which he may be a par ty, or in which he may have interest. d. To look after and assist in car ing tor all persons who may be, or who may hereafter become, depend ent upon a soldier for support. e. To aiJ soldiers in securing em ployment when they return. f. To arrange for special training or education of xoldiers who are par tially disabled by wounds or dis ease. g. To see that all soldiers who) are called to the colors are proper ly registered, so that they may vote in their absence. h. To perform any other service for soldiers when necessity therefor arises during their absence at the front. ? \ Organization. The unit for or ganization shall be the country, and therejshall be a committee in each county to consist of not less than six members. Each county Com mittee shall serve the soldiers from that county exclusively, and shall have the right to constitute a hranch or townsnip committees of such number as they think proper. Finance^. The committee shall depend upon voluntary coritribu tions, an accurate account offwhich will be kept, and whatever shall be left over of the contributions shall be returned pro rata when the work of the committee shall have been completed after peace. Whereverfsoldiers are able to do so. they shall be expected, after the war, to rejipy any money that shall be advanced for them in keeping in force their life insurance policies, in paying taxes, interests, ett.,'an4 the total sums returned, as well as the amount left over from dona tions, shall be distributed pro ratj after the end of the war to those who shall have contributed. No officer of the league shall be I paid for any services, no rent shall | tte paid, and only such necessary ex penses as printing, postage, etc., ihall be deducted from the sum re vived, and strict accoun a shall be tept; subject to inspection at any time by any person interested. After the war is over, and all but- K mesa has been conc^ud*!. the books e: and accounts shall be turned over fi to the North Carolina Council of tl Defense for audit and preservation, tl Very probably few soldiers will avail themselves of the assistance tl of these committees. Most of them ii will be able to m?ke their own ar- e rangements or their immediate fam- e ilies will look after their business for tnem. The committee is intend- a ed to look after the legal, financial n and business interests of all absent a soldiers who have not been able to p make their own arrangements or ? whose people, if they have any, do J not do so for them. The purpose A is to assist an absent soldier in the t same manner as a brother would ' t assist an absent brother in looking a after his financial affairs and hold- t ing his property safe until the 'ab- ? Bent brother returns. t . . v LETTERS OF ' ENDORSEMENT; t ..... t Thousands received bv Dr. Masrow 0 during the last twenty-five years r of his practice from satisfied cus- f tomers. e t t Unsolicited letters of endorse- v uaeul are undoubted proof of Dr. a J. ?.

' [oover and the United States Gov rnment have recognized that the lira of the country are' one of lie greatest mediums through which lie people can have the doctrine of Produce and Save" expounded to Mm, by demonstrating the manner l which the food supply of the ountry can be conserved and great r production encouraged. The great Rocky Mount Fair has nswered the call of the food ad linistrator and the government to id in this campaigh of teaching the eople how to produce and con erve the country's food supply. Ir, Hoover says that the people of America waste enough food to feed _ he British armies in France and hen have food to spare. The food dministrator, therefore, has given 0 the affairs throughout the nation 1 big portion of the tat,k of asking he people to- stop ? this enormous iraste and also to raise and more ;nd better crops. A big feature of the Rocky, Mount Fair will be the demonstrations put ing forth the '"Produce and Save" campaign. The various depart nents will be in charge of superin endendents, who are well qualified o give expert advice along the line if canning, poultry and livestock aising and all matters telating to arm and garden production. It isI xpected that those" interested will ake advantage of the presence of I hese experts at the coming fair. ? vhich will result in great benefit to ill who are striving to follow the ood conservation doctrine. The Navy Department has also tevised the fair officials that several )ig pictoral displays will be sent tere during fair week, showing the workings of the Navy, and how the nen are cared for,' which should be nteresting to all. Of course there wiU be rich and ?are entertainment for all who wish t but there is sufficient in the way >f instruction to make a visit to the fair grounds highly beneficial and well worth while.

Borne, or communicate with him ?ia telephone. WANTED By Rosemary Manufactur- \ ing Company, Roanoke Ra pids, N. C., families, and sin gle men and women for work in Cotton mill.
