.MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1917 YAGE TWO THE ROBESOtf US I Vi ft 1, Cattle relish the sweet odor of wet Buckeye Hulls BUCKEYE HULLS, after being wetted down for ten or twelve hours, acquire a taste or odor similar to the succulent ensilage odor that cattle like so well. Simply feed UlADC MARK V HULLS LINTLESS properly and your stock will like them better than any other roughage. Once they are accustomed to them, they will not be satisfied with anything else. There is every reason why your cattle should relish Buckeye Hulls. They, are all roughage; no lint that is worthless as forage; no dirt, trash or dust. Buckeye Hulls cost much less per ton than old style hulls. Buckeye Hulls allow better as similation of other food. Every pound goes farther. Other Advantages They take less space in the barn. They are sacked easy to han dle. They mix well, when wet, with other forage. Mr. L. R. Farmer, Louisville, Co., say$: tfiat he has used no other hulls but Buckeye for the past year and gets good results. Cows have not been both ered with cougn since using Buckeye Hulls. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.

(By Snyder) Drop the "If" Correspondence of The Robesonian. Red Springs, July 6 There seems to be a aoubt in the minds of the Al lies as to their ultimate success when they use the term "if". It is to. be understood by the world that they will eventually whip Germany, but when some of the most promin ent of the Allies use the word "if" it has a bad effect upon their Amer ican friends. Farmer vs. Loafer It is hard to determine who has the hardest time in life, the farmer or the loafer. To work all day in the hot sunshine is no easy life, but it is Eden to be compared to the loafer whose only business is to stand around street corners and whittle with a dull knife.lt seems that his only object in life is to wait for the mail and get the latest war news. If the train would only hurry up and come sooner, life would not be so burdensome. Old Richmond Academy Debating So ciety ' The writer came across the other day the minutes of the old Richmond academy debating society and noted how few that were on that roll are now living. The society was organ ized in 1853 and was a. prominent factor in that section. We believe it is still in existence. The school was located near Wagram. Vance What a wonderful, unique charac ter wa9 Gov. Vance! Called upon once to make a speech before a crowd of young ladies, he began by saying "O that I were a boy!" He could say things that made th preachers laugh, but it saia Dy you or me they would turn us out of the church. We will hardly ever see his like again. Poets Who Were Made Old Horace was mistaken when he oracularly stated that "Poets nascur- tur non fit . He didn't know that there would rise up Drs. Hills, who waited until their four-score years were upon them before they began to write poetry and good poetry, too. They may have written daggino in their youthful days, but what they are turning out now is of a high or der of literature. Riverton There is a little place called River ton on the Lumbee, that if improved and advertised might become a prom ment summer resort. Why spend our money at prominent watering Miss Lillie Ward of Clarkton Becomes Wfe of Mr. Malcolm McNeill of Robeson Bladen Journal, July 5. Cupid has surprised himself these bright June days in the number of weddings he has manipulated. This was again demonstrated at the love ly home wedding on Wednesday af ternoon of Miss Lillie Ward of Clark ton and Mr. Malcolm McNeill of near Lumberton. The delightful country home in a grove of oaks formed in itself an ideal setting for a June wedding. As the guests entered they were welcomed by Miss Mary Catherine Ward, handsome in plum-colored silk, Miss Mary Ward of Charlotte, in rose taffeta, combined with georgette and Mr. John Ward, and were nhered into the parlor. The wed ding was simple, there were no at tendants. The bride was charming in a silk gray taffeta, combined with georgette crepe and blue taffeta. The decorations were beautiful Potted plants', while geraniums, ferns and palms were artistically banked around the room forming a perfect bridal scene. Jars of cape jassamines were grouped here and there among the green plants. The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. W. H. Goodman. Mr. and Mrs. McNeill left in an automobile for the groom's home where a reception was held that eve ning. The bride is the attractive daugh ter of Mrs. Mary J. Wlard of Clark ton, and the groom is a prosperous young farmer of Robeson county. BELLAMY BRIEFS The Beauty Secret. Ladies desire that irre sistible charm a good complexion.

The total of 20 mer chant shins sunk compares with 28, the previous week, and 32 for each of the two weeks preceding. The heavy falling off in tonnage sent to the bot tob is emphasized by the fact that in contrast with the 15 vessels of more than 1,600 tons now reported sunk was announced last week,, 27 the week previous and 22 the week before that. it, is not unui me report oi June 2 is reached that figures as low a those for the current week are coumerea. in we neigm oi the d structive submarine campaign in April, 30 large vessels were sunk in a week, 83 in another, while the to tal of large and small vessels reached 55 in the week ended April 21.

I think it the best of all papers. Guess the rea. son is because it is from my home town, which I feel proud of. I spent a short while in and around Lumberton last fall. I had been away from there 23 years and found a great change in Lumberton and surrounding country. I have travel ed lots and seen lots of towns. Must say one thing about Lumberton: it is one of the best lit-up towns I have Been to the Mze, and not many of the larger cities are any better lit up than it is. Tho' I notice one thing that is dangerous and that is, people driving all over the streets. I told my brother Jesse if they did not get some rule to the way and manner they drove in town and even on the public roads it would only be -a short while before' some one would get hurt. They should all drive on the right side of road or streets and is not half the danger. I see just a lew days ago where some, lady got hurt by an accident at the iron bridge. Why ? m Just because the car was be ing driven on the left side of streets and went to cross over to the right after it was too close to the A great many things happen just places, when with a little co-opera r 1 0" '.rf An ol 1 tory it ha Preparation t 1 J and life. a:o I Crops Are Looking Good and it Looks Like a Bumper Corn Crop A Qu4et Fourth Social and Personal Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Lumberton. . . . . N. C anything, so always stay on the right side and you are right. In reading Mr. Fleming's letter it seemjs he likes good roads. It looks as some do not want good roads, as I see they would not vote to issue bonds to build them on account of high taxes. Gentlemen, let me tell you there is no better sign than no tice the taxes in a county. "Wttien you see high tax you may know that town is on a' boom and is in a prosperous condition. Any man of experience that wants to invest money wants to get on or near good roads. When I came to Orange county, Fla., 10 years ago the roads were just like the old Creek road was between Mt. Elaim church and Bright Stone's place: it was so sandy we could not only pull 1500 lbs. with a pair of good mules. Today we understand but we can pull on the same roads 3000 with one mule. We have 300 miles of brick roads in the count v Land then was worth $2.50 per acre and today it is worth $25 to $50, and lots can't be bought at any price, wnyv Because they sav "Well. I cant get no other place and have the privileges I have here". He will tell you, "Why, I can stay right home ana pnone into town and get the doc tor if I need him, and it 15 miles and get him in 20 minutes, and I get my groceries delivered at my door." Why can they do this? J'ust because we have brick roads all over the county. I tell you if you ever have gouu roaas you can t see now you got along withut them so lon& as you did. E. K.

A History of Robeson Should be Writ. ion Robeson county is considerably ov er 100 years old, and it seem,s to me that by this time we should have a history of the county. We have the material, and we have men who are competent tn do the work. It would takp time and monev to do it. The county commissioners should tackle he job. It would be no easy job, but we have the men equal to the occasion, and I hope the commission ers will take the matter under con sideration.
