C., as second class matter. Abernathy has announced that he will run independently for Congress in his district. x [T; * ?~ 77" T7T lies are still advancing and the huus can't stop their progress. Secretary Baker has announced that upon the "reconvening of Congress he will ask for an army of above five million men. Another big transport was sunk by a submarine Sunday on its return to the United States. Only about eleven of the crew were lost, and no soldiers were on board. In another column a suggestion is made to call a mass meeting of the citizens of the county together for the purpose of appointing a memorial committee and preparing plans to erect a suitable monument to the mem ory of Rev. Geo. M. Duke on the court square in Louicburg. The idea proposed is that every individual in the county contribute twenty-five cents This would purchase a handsome shaft and be a just recognition of a life so generously spen,t for the spiritual and moral good of the county as a whole, as Rev. Mr. Duke's has been, and there is no more fitting place for its: location than upon the public square i in Louisburg where its very presence ?will be an inspiration to all who may visit our town. Lets join in heartily and see that it may be realized and un-1 veiled before a new year comes in. FRANKLIN DOCTOR HAS FINE RE. CORD. Dr. J. E. Malone. County Health Officer j Doimr a Ble "?errlce. Nearly three score r.nd ten years of! age but still active and one of the most j interested physicians in the State in' health work describes Dr. J. E. Ma-1 lone, of Franklin county. Despite his yer.r^ he is one of the busiest men in his county. Dr. Malone is the only physician on1 the Franklin county selective service I board and has personally examined j every registrant called from Franklin county. He is the county physician and county quarantine officer, and is the county medical inspector of schools In addition he has attended to consid erable private practice. All his duties he has performed well. The record of his work for the chil dren of the county is especially note ??*?'nn ii imunim iiiimWajJiih medical inspectors of schools in other counties. Almost every teacher in the county filled a physical examination card and returned it to his office for every child in the county. All the cards were classified and Dr. Malone then visited nearly every school in the county and examined personally either xi Him *rhe,r,\ nv nr tlin nffirp "054 ehil dren. One specialist from Raleigh has been to Louisburg. the county seat, re peatedly. and recently operated on the fifty-second child for the removal of adenoids and tonsils. This work has been largely aided by the efforts of Drs Burt and Yarborough of Louisburg. Dental treatment is now being offered free to every child who needs it.. The population of Franklin county is about 25.000 with about 7.000 schcol children. The population is largely rural. The work which Dr. Malone has been doinp has not been easy, but he has achieved excellent results. In his efforts he has the cordial support of all the physicians of his county.? News-Observer. A SKYL.W D PARMER SAYS HE OB EYED CHRISTIAN I.MWLSE. He Polt That It Was His Doty To Help A Follow Being And Did So. Set ting An Excellent Example For Other*. There Is a great satisfaction that comas from flelping fellow beings in distress. In the hustle and hustle of life today we overlook little opportu nities to lend a helping hand and fail to gain the satisfaction that comee through attention to this duty, but A. " C. Neebit, a farmer at Skyland. does not as shown by the following state ment : "I have a friend who suffered much and I made up my mind taat it was my christian duty to help him. I did jiot tell him to go get a bottle of Pep-| lac and that it would restore his health I went with him and made sure that he got It. That is how much faith I have In this wonderful remedy; a faith based on my own experience r.nd what it did for me. I fouglrt a long battle with indigestion and stomach trouble until I began taking Peplac. I was formerly able to sleep only about four hours each night, and felt miser able the next d&y. Now I sleep sound ly nine hours every night and work all day long on my farm feeling like a new man, thanks to Peplac." Peplac is sold in Louisburg by the Sooggin Drug Store; Youngsvllle, Winston-Blanks, Drug Co.; Wake For ?Bt. T. E. Holding & Co.; Henderson, W W Parker.

"MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ALL OVEK" We fake all chances?Full Treatment, '.'o Beneflt, No Cost. FOR MEN AND WOMEN" 'ne Dollar?All Diugglsts h mi n m t. mu mu i The term "slacker" has?ami justly ?become one of trreat reproach. The slacker now stands before his fellow men in his true color?yellow. -He is the man upotr whom his country has conferred benefits, but whose cra ven soul refuses to accord service when in turn ?his country needs his services. We have?and its is right that it should be so?very little sympathy to waste on the military slacker. But at the same time we wifeti to Insist that lie is by uo means the only slack er. "T" We, ourselves, pride ourselves on our complete loyalty, never realizing In our blindness that in many ways ! we are as great slackers as any. Our government has outlined many ? ways in which it expects the co-opera- | tion of the people. It expects every i individual to contribute his or her help J in all these lines. If this help is not i forthcoming, the delinquents are as j truly slackers as Is the man who seeks ' to evade thejlraft or the Liberty Loan j Let us see what some of this service I consists of." First, conservation of time, laboi J and materials. What of the mo{i-~ j or woman, either?who willfully squa- ; nders time and misapplies labor?, When the united exertions of ALL are needed, can even one sulk and hang back, and the effect not be felt on the mass? Then multiply that one bj hundieds. and by thousands, and how long before the objective Is lost from inactivity? Then there i> the matter of needless expenditures. War necessities have I already practically eliminated many of the luxuries of life, and will yet : eliminate many more. But many still exist and are still indulged in. fre- . quently to theg reat hurt of our cause | The purchase and use of luxuries in- i volves not only a misuse of our means, but ?: also involves a misuse of time labor and material in the production of the article of luxury. And again are we forced to the conclusion that the indulger in needless luxury is as surely a slacker as is he who dodges the draft. Last winter we experienced a ser- j ious fuel shortage?why? Simply , from lack of trains to move coal from ;h? mines to the consumer. The gov. ernment is constantly seeking to im press upon us the fact that it needs ?very engine and every car obtainable, having use for all. Every person who travels on a train takes from the gov ernment just that much enotne eiier- ' py and carrying capacity. Urue. the business of life must go on. but what of the pleasure travel?the joy ride? The railroads do not need him money and the government does, and also for his selfish pleasure. And again we are forced to the the conclusion thar the aimless joy rider is as truly a slacker as he who would dodge the ? draft. But why continue the list? There | are a thousand ways in which we can | and frequently do. squander and mis- | uppl>?the niaierioln and*??npryv n\ which our beloved country is just now so urgently in need. What is needed! is for every man. woman and child of us to sit down and calmly examine our own conscience, honestly judge of our actions in the light of the grav. . duties before each and every one of us and then dare to act as patriotism ana a devotion to our country's interests | demands. Are we slackers? If so. will W? ; continue to bg such? THE CHICKEN PEST. . The person who permits chickens to become a neighborhood pest, if he has ever read the Golden Rule, certainly newer has taken the same to heart. Of all the petty, irritating annoyances of neighborhood life, doubtless the predatory chicken is the greatest. Nothing eatable or destroyable is safe from its industrious bill and claws. The urgent request is laid upon peo ple of all classes that they cause Am erican soil to produce to its extre*nr rapacity. Under this call, thousands of people have planted war gardens in the two-fold hope of piecing out household expenses and or relieving the world shortage of food. It is with these war gardens that the roam ing fowl plays havoc. The general run of farmers who raise chickens on anything like a large scale are pre pared for taking care of them, and the distance between farms usually reduces their depredations to a mini mim. at least so far as ones neigh bor's are concerned. I Hut the town or suburban dweller who wishes to produce his family fruits and vegetables i.s ?c<of so fortu nate. ? With chickens all about him and they permitted to ramble r.t will, he must have his premises properly fenced, or there is "nothing doing." And. as thousands ot these ^-ar gard eners are living in ranted property, the owners of which rpf'-.sc to main tain the necessary fenecjb-iheir war gardens often have very rough sled ding. Of* course the owner of the fowls will claim his rights?that big chick ens must have range. But by all thf rules of Justice that range shpuld not include his neighbor's fruit and vage tabid garden. The whole trouble lies with the In our commonwealths have ever recog* nized the chicken when enumerating the kinds of stock that should not be .permitted free range. In the pres ient emergency this oversight should be remedied, and at once. Gardens 'all over the land are approaching a condition where the ravages of fowls .are especially destructive. Stringent regulations should be established pre senting fowls of all kinds from roam* |ing at large, and making owners res? potisible for all damages inflicted h\ their depredations. The owner of chickens, who permits his fowls to become a nuisance to his neighbors, is greatly lacking in the spirit of patriotism that should gov* ern alt our people in these strenuous times through which we are passing. In adding to his ow ne.Ticiency he Is taking from that of his neighbor, and that in all fairness ho should not do. Pen the chickens, at least till the gardens are out of the way. Pen them under penalty ofc law. Ask J. A. TURNER to show you the new disability policy. 7-26-tf OVERDONE THRIFT. Have we heard too much talked of duty of Thrift? It would almost seem so. Not of legitimate, bona fide thrift, the kind that "makes two bla des of grass to grow where one grew before." but of the spurious brand thai seeks to transfer the dollar from your neighbor's pocket to your own without adequate compensation to the neighbor. We have before said that high pric es was a diease?a mania. High price is also a convenient clor.k for all sorts of petty meannesses and graft. It is doubtful if the prevail ing prices in half the different lines of trade in this country could be jus tified by war conditions. Yet they ex ist. and not only exist but keep on climbing. We have 110 sympathy whatever for the capitalistic profiteer who is caught in his effort to mulch his government and the public in these times. He deserves all that he gets and then some'. But the big fellows are not the ones most responsible for the present cha otic condition of prices. The blame for this condition rests closer hom< to the people themselvves. In many lines the government has done much to stabilize prices, yet there seem to be many more lines in which its efforts cannot bring results. There seems to be a mania preval ent among all classes to get just a lit tle more for any article disposed of than such article is worth. The least seeming scarcity of an article is 111M11 m' .rimi/ that by all classes. ?The great trouble is we have con fused the two terms?thrift and greed. Genuine thrift lias the foundation ot production or saving.? One must eith er increase production or save from waste in order to practive thrift. The piling on of extra costs to an article with every conceivable pretext is not thrift?this is greed*, pure and simple and as such is the most contemtibl& kind of profiteering Let's not let up on the big profiteers but while rounding them up let's not overlook the contemtible little fellows closer home. We should make their road a rocky one. If you want life insurance see J. A.

Chicago, July 20.The largest single order for bacon and canned meats in the history of the world?99,660,000 founds of bacon and 134.000,000 pounds of canned meat?has Just been placed by the Quartermaster's Depart ment, U. S. A, for the American Ar my overseas. Louis F. Swift, in commenting on this today, said the order will taks the bacon from approximately 1,900, 000 hogs and if other work were drop ped to produce it would be equivalent to the total bacon production of the five largest Chicago packers for near ly Ave weeks, howerer, tlx months will elapse before delivery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current prices on the day, last week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $80,000,000 for the necessary hogs and over $50,000, 000 for about 900.000 cattle required. "The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as in the pr?-war per iod. "The whole order will be made up before the first of the year, despite the fact that, *?ven before this pur chase, one-fourth of tho paokert*'fa cilities have been devoted to Ailing military demands. "In order to get out the canned goods the packers wll find It neces sary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad. "The five packers are now killing about 360.000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs. THE FRANKLIN TIMES Only $1.60 Per Year, In advance. ?jv mm ?? ? ? if ? ? ?% w.
