One Year . $1.50 Kz Month* ..1 _ ...... .15 Three Months .i. 40 ADVERTISING RATES. Very reasonable and made known on request Entered a* tecond-clau matter February 26th, 1910, at the poet office at Ahoakie, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3rd, 1878. Ahoekie, North Carolina, January 24th, 1919. 1 MEMORIAL FOR HERTFORD COUNTY BOYS. In other column of this paper there is an article written by Mrs. Roswell C. Bridger, of Winton. In this article, she suggests that a monument be erected i* Hertford coynty to its sons that have fought in the war with Germany. She also sug gests tha tthe Herald be appointed a committee to receive donations, each, week publishing the names of the donors snd the amounts. This suggestion, we believe is a good one; that is, the suggestion that a fund be raised for the purpose of erecting a memorial for the "boys." Some such suggestion has been made by the Editor, but very little response was heard at the time it was published. If there is a desire among the people of this ceunty to further this program, the Herald would gladly consent to receive the contributions, publishing each week an itemized statement of the fund, and giving credit to each indi * vidual subscriber. ? " . i BROTHER, THE HERALD CONCURS. The following clipping was taken from a Nebrtfsk* paper, but it applies as well to North Carolina. Its caption is "We're For It, and it reads thusly: "A number of our exchanges have been speculating on what would happei| if the government took over the newspapers. Well, the first thing the subscription price would be raised 50 per cent, ?nd the sheriff would be kept busy chasing delinquents. The next step would be to raise wages about 25 per cent, and editors, who had'nt had a cent in six months they could call their own, would be placed on a salary. The merchants who failed to get their copy in un til press day would be hauled up before the council of defense, and linotype man who hired out for two weeks and quit his job in a week would be sent to Leavenworth for about ten years as a deserter. It looks like a good proposition, and we're for it." PAPERS TAKE ADVERTISING DIRECT TO THE BUYER. The following was clipped from the South Dakota Rura. Press: "Did you observe," said a merchant to a customer, "the handsome advertisement I have had painted on the railing of the bridge?" "No," responded the customer, "but if you'll send the bridge around to my house I will try and read the an nouncement. I read the papers and I hav'nt time to run around from place to place and read bill boards." ? , "There is some merit in all forms of advertising, but for down-right economical effectiveness nothing can take thej place of the home newspaper for home business." North Carolina's educational forces have lost another valu able asset in the death of Dean M. H. Stacy, which took place at his home in Chapel Hill Tuesday morning. Since the death of President Edward .Kidder Graham, Professor Stacy has been acting President of the State University. He had been connected with the University for several years, and was the best known member of the faculty- He was an interested edu cator, and is widely known over the state, where his services as a public speaker has .been in constant demand. Citizens of Ahoskie will remember him as having delivered an address at the Ahoskie High School closing a few years ago. Old man Darwin tried to prove that human beings are the offspring of the monkey family?a species of the baboon. But, friend, if D?rwin had lived in Ahoskie in this age, he would make it his business to prove that Ahoskie's^people sprang from the reptile family, taking the form of a frog. For, the slightest wet season finds the streets and sidewalks in such a condition that one must use the "hopping" antics of the frog in order to navigate and keep above the water and mud. Who s?id we didn't need better streets? The North Carolina genera', assembly will in all probabi lity pass a piece of legislation at this term governing the dogs that are allowed to run ati large, and destroy thousands of SM>unds of good mutton, as well as other objects of sustenance. Hertford county is for such a law, if thr poll taken at the last election was at all representative. Billy Sunday, speaking in Richmond last Sunday said: "What God wants is workers, not knockers- Builders, not ico noclasts. Helpers, not critics. Live wires, not dead ones." Yes, and what Ahoskie wants is plenty of "live wires" to shock the dead ones into insensibility, or to arouse them- to a point where they will help their town. National prohibition will soon be an accomplished fact. The required thirty-six general assemblies of the United States have ratified the proposed amendment to the federal constitu tion. Soon, old demon rum will be no more in this country. The dry forces now plan a World-Wide movement. Push 'em off the face of the earth. We again caution our delinquent subscribers to settle with ua. We have gone to great expense to install latest machinery, in order.to gi*e the people a paper "Worth While"; but dead accounts won't pay for it. Off comes the names of those in arrears in thirty days. |, If the Herald ever did have any respect for "the man or , person full of "gas", it has certainly and surely lost it. For, who ever knew any objec propelled by gas but what was a thorn in the flesh. We refer you to our linotype "gas burner." Farmers in this section are not being easily led into market ing their peanuts at seven and seven and a half cents per pound. f, y i We are no doctors, but our advice to those who would avoid the influenza is "keep clean," inside and out. One bother we don't have. The income m?n never bothers THAT PERMANENT PASTURE. Records kept by ftiMn to Martin county have ahown that they have received on an average of $860.00 par acre return par year from their permanent pasture* at a coat for ?aad. lima, manure and labor not to exceed $35.00. Has H paid the farm ers of Martin county? If it has it will pay the fanners of Hartford county just as well. If you will put in an acre of per manent pasture, select an acre of good land well drained and break H deep, diak it, harrow it well, broad caat lime and stable manure, disk this in and sow your seed and cover with a section harrow or by dragging a brush over the land. It is best to seed about February 20th to March 10th, for spring seed ing. The following mixture has given excellent results to Martin county. 8 lb*. Italian' Rye Grass. 8 lbe. Red Top (Herds Grass) 8 lbs. Orchard Graas. 8 lbs. Alsike Clover. 4 lbe. White Clover. 4 lbs. Red Clover or Japan Clover. This mixture to be used on one acre. It should cost about 812.00 per acre. Japan Clover or Leepadexa seed are hard to get on the market but they can be secured by scraping off the fence rows or plantation roads almost any where to Hertford county and scattering the scrapings over the field. For open woods where an hours sunshine a day can be had it will pay well to seed the following mix ture. 10 lbs. Orchard Grass. 10 lbs. Kentucky Blue Grass. 5 lbs. Red Top. Leepadesar or Japan Clover scrap ings as much as you like. Any one wishing help in seeding permanent pastures should call on the county agent Charcoal Mixture for Hogs. Wood Charcoal, 2 bushels. Hard Wood Ashes, 2 bushels. Air Slaked Lime, 8 lbe. Salt. 8 lbs. Sulphur, 4 lbs. Coperas, 2 lbs. Pulvsrixe the charcoal and sift the ashes, mix the charcoal, aches, lime, ialt and sulphur thorougiy and dis solve the coperas to one-half gallon of het water and sprinkle over the mixture. Stir 'well and store to a dry place. Keep some of the mixture where the hogs can gat it at all times. If they ned it they will use it. Farmers who will use this mixture regularly will find that their hogs will not suffer with indigestion, breaking down to the hips and many other ailments that hogs suffer with. Any farmer who burns wood in his fire-place can ssve up enough charcoal and ashes to make a supply of the mixture. "If it ia not toe much trouble" the reet can be bought al moet anywhere at a small cost. Try it out and see if it does not pay for the trouble. E. W. GAITHIR, ^ County Agent. 1 f?
