' LONG-GRAHAM.
Miss Long and Mr., Graham Wedded
in Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian church waa the
scene Of a beautiful wedding when
at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening Alias
Kathleen Long, daughter of Col. and
Mrs. Jacob A. Long, became the
bride of Mr. Alexander Hawkins
Graham of Hillaboro. Long before
the hoar appointed for the marriage
the church waa thronged with rela
tives and friends of this popular
young couple, many coming from a
distance. Before the ceremony Mrs.
Cummins. Mebane of Greensboro
sweetly sang the words spoken by
Ruth to Naomi in the wonderful love
Btory of Holy Writ —"Intreat me not
to leave thee, or to return from lot
lowing after thee * * set to the
appealing strains of ,Bchubert's Sere
nade. This was peculiarly appro
priate, as the arrangement of words
to music was made by the bifde.
Mrs. Myra Albright of Greensboro
presided at the organ, using Lohen
grin's Wedding March as a proces
sional and Mendelssohn's as a reces
sional. The ushers were Ralph Long
of Winston-Salem, brother of tLe
bride, Paul and George Graham ot
Durham, brothers of the groom, and
William Joynsr of Raleigh. The
four sisters of the bride, Mrs. S. E.
Everett, Mrs. John C. Holiday and
Mrs. Hersey Woodward of Suffolk,
Va., and Mrs. R. Jess Mebane of
Greensboro'were dames of honor and
Miss Lillian Everett of Suffolk was
maid of honor. The ring bearer was
the tiny niece of the briue, Ann Me
bane of Greensboro. Owing to the
failing health of the lather of the
bride her elder brother, Hon. Jacob
Elmer Long, gave her in marriage.'
The groom with his best man, Mr.
Willis Heartt of Hillaboro, awuited
his bride at the altar. Dr. T. M.
McConnell, pastor of the churca,
officiated, using the beautiful cere
mony of the Episcopal church. The
groom, who is the son of Maj. and
Mrs. John W. Graham of Hillsboro
and the grindson of Wm. A. Gra
ham, who was not only Governor of
the State but one of her five Secre
taries of the Navy, is a lawyer whose
professional career has been inter
rupted by his country's call, and is
now one of the young officers com
missioned by the Oglethorpe Train
ing Camp. Miss Long was never
more lovely than in her bridal array,
and the dainty little lady in white
on the arm of her tall soldier lover
recalled "Days of old when knights
were bold," and made a picture that
will long linger in the memory of
those so fortunate as to gaze upon it.
To the bride's beauty is added a real
charm that has made of her a social
favorite wherever known. For the
past three years she has been one of
the best teachers in the Grabam
Graded School.
Immediately after the ceremony
there was an informal reception and
luncheon at the elegantly appointed
home of the bride's parents, after
which the young couple left by auto
mobile for Greensboro and took the
train for Columbia, S. C., where the
groom will enter upon his military
duties, Among the out-of-town
fuests present were: Maj. and Mrs.
no. W. Graham of hillsboro, par
ents of the groom, Mrs. P. C. Gra
ham and Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Gra
ham of Durham, Col. Benehau
Cameron of Stagville, Miss Cornelia
Taylor of Winston-Salem, Mr. and
Mrs. A. L. Brooks, Mr. and Mrs.
Cummins Mebane, Mr. and Mrs. It.
Jess. Mebane, Mrs. Myra Albright,
Miss Grace and Mr. Edgar Snow of
Greensboro, Mr. and Mrs. 8. E.
Everett and daughters, Misses Lillian
and Frances, Mr. and Mrs. John C.
Holiday and John, Jr., and. Mrs.
Ilersey Woodward of Suffolk, Va.
A large number of handsome and
costly presents attested to the popu
larity and esteem in which the bride
is held.
Caswell County News to Resume.
Wfoh Mr. James H. Evans as
editor and owner, the Caswell County
News will resume publication on
Sept. sth at Milton under better and
more favorable conditions than the
paper has ever enjoyed before. A
generation ago Milton was the home
of the Milton Chronicle, owned and
edited by "Father" Evans, who
made itone of the most readable coun
try newspapers anywhere to be found.
We do not know but James 11. is a
descendant of the famous "Father"
Evans. Whether so or not, we trust
he will make a name for his paper
and himself as honorable as those of
the former.

PLANT MORE WHEAT!
"Do Your BMP'
To the Farmers of Alamance and
Adjoining Counties:
Unless more wheat is planted this
fall than ever before, somebody is
going to be hungry in 1918. Our
sofdiers and the soldiers of our Al
lies are fighting for us who stay
at home, l'liey can't fight unless
they are fed, and America must
feed them. Every person who haß
heretofore planted wheat is urgea
to double his acreage. The govern
ment has pasoed a law that amounts
to*) a solemn contract that every
bushel of the 1918 crop of wheat
shall bring at least $2.00 This
means at leaßt $2.00 wheat for our
1918 crop, whether we have won the
war before the harvest of 1918 or
not.
Every person who plants a grain
more wheat in 1917 than he has
heretofore planted is doing lhat
much to aid hi« country, and, at the
same time his country guarantees
him a good price for his crop.
The Government has sent out a
warning concerning sead wheat.
See that your seed wheat is of the
best. By planting a larger crop
of wheat than usual, you are not
only benefiting yours. Ives, but
you are serving your country as
truly as if you shouldered a gun.
Won't you do your bit for your
country? She needs it.

PREPARING THE GARDEN FOR
WINTER.
Work Yoa Can Do andCropa Yoa Can
Plant Now to Save and Increaaethe
Plant Pood la Your Garden to get
Better Yields Next Year.
Br F. F. Rockwell. Author of "Around the
Year In the Garden," "Home Vegetable
Hardening," eto., etc. Copyright WIT, bjr
W. A tlee Burpee a Co,, Hoeda Growers,
Philadelphia.
The old saying that "Yon oan
not eat your cake and have it too"
does not altogether apply in the
garden. Or, to put it differently,
if you handle your garden in the
right way in the fall you ,can get
a lot of the raw plant foods which
it contains "cooked-up" and ready
for your crops to use next season;
and also save the next season's
use tf»e "left-overs" that otherwise
woiml go to waste from the plant
foods you applied this year.
The plant food in the soil existo
in two forms—called "available"
and "unavailable." Thiß simply
means that the plant food that is
termed available is in such forms
that the root* of growing plants
can make immediate use of it,
while that termed unavailable is
in such condition that it has to
undergo chemical changes before
the plant can take it up. To make
the matter plain for the beginner
we may say that the unavailable
plant foods in the soil correspond
to the materials of various kinds
which the cook may hav*ln the
kitchen cupboard—flour, rice,
lima beans, spaghetti, etc. These
are all "1'ooda" but not available
tor use ufttil alter they
have beeu cuanged by cooking.
The parallel may be carried a step
tanher .in that, after they have
been prepared, they cannot be
itupt inUeliuitely, anu unless made
use of a large percentage of them
will be lost, or wasted.
How to Keep lteady-to u*e Plaut Food
From (iolng to Waste.
During the fall, winter and early
spring a great deal of the plant
food in soil that is left bare is car
ried away in the surface washiug
and in the drainage water result
ing from rains and from melting
suows. lu the case of nitrogen,
which is the most valuable of the
three plaut foods most likely to be
"short" in any soil—nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash—fur
ther loss is occasioned by it* pass
ing off luto the air. One of the
gardener's most important pro
blems, therefore, is U> save what
there may be lett of these avail
able plant foods at the end of the
season for another year. And,
like the surplus foods in the
kitchen they may be saved by
"canning".
It may at first glance seem a
rather difficult problem to can an
invisible something hidden away
in a fool or so of gardeu soil which
it would take an expert chemical
analysis to But in reality it
IN much easier tfiau the kiud of
canning you do in the kitchen.
By plautiug a crop that will grow
through the winter and early
spring the surplus available foods
will be stored up in the roots,
stems and leaves of the glowing
plant*, and when these are plowed
or spaded under in the spring and
decompose, you get your plant
foods back again, ready for use
by the vegetables you plant next
spring, lu addition you All your
garden soil with "humus", or
vegetable matter, which is almost
as essential for the healthy, vigor
ous growth of your plants as hav
ing plenty of plant food in the
soil. Humus keeps thesoil broken
up and porous and absorbs the
surplus moisture, storing it up for
the future needs of the growing
plants during dry weather.
For these reasons you can readi
ly see that the sowmg of winter
or cover crops on every square
foot of your garden left uncovered
before freezing weather is not
merely a hobby, but just about as
important as putting manure on
your gardeu in the spring, lu
latitudes north of Philadelphia,
the best crops to sow for this pur
pose are rye and winter vetch.
3outh of Philadelphia either these
or crimson clover may be used,
tioth the vetch and the clover are
"legumes" and not only conserve
plaut food as described above but
gather nitrogen from "She air,
actually enriching the garden sod
on which they grow. The earlier
these cait be sown the more growth
they will make belore the ground
freezes up. The best way Is to
have enough seed on hand and
now each patch of ground as soon
as it is available, instead of wait
ing until you can clear off all of
the gardeu. Next spring the parts
which were sown laSt can be left
lor late crops, such as melons and
beans, so that the cover crops will
have more of a chance to grow.
The clover fau be sown any time
up to the first week of September,
and the rye and vetch until early
frost.
Clean the (.ardrn Up Now.
Too man.) gardeners make the
mistake of leaving all the cleaning
up there may be to done in the
garden until spring. Dead vines,
bad fruits, tomato poles brush, etc.,
are left over where they are. This
not only makes a disreputa ile
looking garden through the winter
and early spring out furnishes the
very finest kind of resort for every
Jmg, beetle and blight spore on the
list that require* special quarters'
for wintering over. Make the slo
gan of the last week's work In the
garden out of door* before Ireez
weatiier comes, be "clean up and
burn.*" Don't' be tempted, as it
is sometimes ads ised, to use the
leaves, weeds and refuse from your
garden for the compost heap. It
is true they will make humus, but
they may also help make trouble,
pieces of sod, fallen leaves and ma
terial of thai kind may be rotted
, up with manure if you have it lo
Increase the fertility of jroar gar
den next spring, but burn every
thing that by any chance may car
over trouble for another year,
Pall Trenching to Itcnue Fertility.
There la another opportunity to
make your garden' for the next,
year better by giving it an extra
deep spading up thia fall. If it li
a small one and usually spaded or
forked up you can go oV4r It now
and dig it aeveral inches deeper
by throwing the soil out of the
first row and then digging up the
•oil below that, turning it over ana
breaking it up wher olt is. The soil
from the next row if thrown on
top of this will leave another strip
of the subsoil - uncovered so it can
Joe broken up. This "Trenching" or
•übaoiling of the garden not only
gives more room for thi roots of
your plants to gather their food
in but also makes it possible
to work it much sooner In the
spring, as thi Improved drainage
eanbles it to dry out rapidly.
