The program proposed by the State board consists of definite units of work on the more important health pi'oblems rather 1 than an attempt to cover the entire field of county health activity in a limited period of time. Co-operation will be given by the State board in carrying out the pro gram outlined in the budgets given in last Thursday s Robesonian. ! The total amount that will be spent in 3 years is $18,300. Of this the county will pay an average of $3,722 a year and the State board an aver age of $2,378 a year. The biggest problem is fighting dis eases that are spread through soil pollution. Twenty per cent of deaths in this section of the State are due to such diseases. Beginning next March, a vigorous 6-months' campaign will be waged with 5 assistants in the- field. A sanitary survey will be made of every home in the county and ef fort will be made to put in every home ! oi all patriotic men in the various trades so as to eliminate speculation, hoarding, unreasonable profits, waste ful practices., etc., in the great distri bution system of the country. "The food administration has se lected about 20 basic commodities and their products as forming the prime basis of life, and has limited its li censing control to these commodities and also in so far as practicable, elim inated ihesraallest units, of business in these staples. "It is the purpose of the food ad ministration to effect conservation in the commercial use of these commod ities and tokeep them flowing tow ard the consumer in direct lines through the channels of trade in as economical a manner as possible. The administration does not wish to dis turb the normal and necessary ac tivities of business and no business factor who is performing a useful function will be expected to surren der that function.

Enemy's Resources Are Dimin ishing While Allies Are Prepar ed to Maintain Their Full Strength. Germany's military strength now ! shows a clear decrease for the first time since the war began, according to a review based upon data of the French general staff made public in Washington Tuesday night by the French high commission. Worn down and driven back by the never-ending pounding of the ( Allies on the western front, the statement says, the Germans have made their supreme military effort after draw ing heavilv uron their inactive arm ies in the east and calling out their i 1918 and part of the 1919 reserves. Thus, while the Allies have reached and are prepared to maintain their full strength while awaiting the com ing of America's great army, the en emy's resources are diminishing at the very moment when the military situation demands that they increase. "This shows," concludes the state ment, "the decisive character attend ing the operations of 1918 when three great democracies, England, France and America, will unite their entire strength in attacking the enemy, m conformity with the only sound prin ciple of war." Mr. O. J. McConnell of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, w7ho has charge of the Government cotton grading work in this State, spent Monday here with Mr. T. W. Trog-, don, local government grader. Mr. McConneM was heie for the .purpose of looking over the work being done at the local grading office. He de clared that he was well pleased with the amount of cotton that has been graded here. Up to Monday 3,500 samples bad been graded, of v-hich 3,000 were sent in by Robeson coun ty ginners, while 500 samples had been sent in from Bladen county. This shows that much more cotton has been graded than had been graded to the same date last year. Both farmers and ginners seem to be taking great interest in the grad ing work and no doubt the farmers are being greatly benefitted by the grading. Mr. Troardon urges the importance of those receiving grade cards fill ing out blanks and returning same, which can be done without paying pos tage. . - Farmers and all interested in the prices of cotton are invited to visit the office of Mr. Trogdon in che rear of the National Bank of Lumberton building, where they can .see New Lieut.

A feature of the program was-the fire drills. The 400 pupils in the grad ed school all marched out of the build ing in less than 60 seconds. While the inclement weather kept the people generally from observing the day, many cleaned up the rubbish about their premises, and the work will continue. Belch. Mr. and Mrs. E. O.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Planters Bank & Truit Co. was held Tuesday. The directors were very much pleased with the progress the bank has made during the past quarter. Deposits have more than doubled during the past 4 months. Officers of the bank, were author ized to buy -$28,000 worth of Liberty bonds, this being practically the amount allotted to this bank by the Federal Reserve bank of Richmond. The 5th Federal Reserve district, com posed of the States of Maryland, Vir ginia. North and South Carolina, is expected to buy $200,000,000 of Lib erty bonds. This has been appor tioned among the banks of the dis trict, each bank and its customers be ing asked to take an amount based upon the resources of the bank as compiled irom the latest reports avail able. The amounts alloted to the three banks of Lumberton and their customers are as follows: National Bank of Lumberton, $77,700; First National Bank, $61,320; Planters Bank & Trust Co., $28,140. Mr. K. M. Barnes, treasurer of the last-named bank, says that so far as he knows the Planters Bank & Trust Co. is the first bank in the county to subscribe for its share. It is important to bear in mind in this connection, however, that the cus tomers of each bank are expected to subscribe. The success of the cam paign now being carried on to . sell Liberty bonds in the sum of around $5,000,000,000 depends upon the ev eryday citizen subscribing liberally. Revival .
