With a view of schools of North Carolina as War teaching respect and loyalty to the tion with the Bell Telephone company at the Lumberton office. Messrs Arch McDuffie and Walter Williford spent some time at Raeford this week on business. Messrs. J. T. and Dennis Biggs and Mrs. Dennjs Biggs visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Biggs the first of this week. Quite a number of cars get "stuck" in the mud these days. Some pull out, some are pulled out, and some have to get horses to get the occu pants to their homes. Mr. Frank Smith has contracted with the road board to drag and Keep in repair the road from the Lewis place to Rennert. We hope this means that this road will be kept in good re pair. If the holes and ruts in the roads were kept filled and roads kept level during the spring and summer they would become solid for the win ter. We have never seen as many dead bees around the hives before as there has been this winter, due, we suppose, to the extreme cold. We agree with the correspondent in last week's Robesonian in regard to larks destroying small grain. Our law-makers should be very careful about infringing on the rights of the farmers in regard to the bird law any way. A man buys land, pays taxes raises grain to raise birds, and then his own children cannot catch a bird but he must feed a dog, buy shells and become a bird hunter before he can get any benefit from that which belongs to him. Rev. Mr. Murray and Miss Erne Smith from St. Pauls organized a Children Will branch of the Red Cross here last Friday night with 24 members. Oth ers will join. Mr.? Murray made r.n excellent speech on the war and the need of the Red Cross, i Mrs. Dennis Baxley of Buie is spending a few days visiting relatives February I in the community. She will return Correspondence of The Robesonian. Lumberton, R. 6, Feb. 11 It is with pleasure we say good-bye to winter and bid spring welcome with its birds and flowers. The yellow jessamine is the first to appear this time and fho niar hlnom will follow next. The chickens have eaten up our violets and rose bushes looked so dead Mi we cut them off. Pruning is good for them any way. .... We were indeed glad oi tne privil ege to hear Governor Bickett speak the first speech, we had ever heard by a ruler of our country. The court house was packed full and a table at the door with ladies on it and it look ed like we had to stand outside with out getting a glimpse at the (governor or hearing what he said, eitner. dui those kind ladies moved the table and invited us in where we could stand in front and listen to his noble speech that made our hearts burn with pa triotism till it seemed like we could kiss every one of sons good-bye and bid ther.i Godspeed to go in defense of our country, if they were all old enough to serve the country well. Before hearing his splendid speech I though it would almost break my heart to have to part with me son. It alwavs would bring tears to my eyes to sing "Just Before the Battle, Mother, I am Thinking Most of You." Every mother that has to part with her boy ought to have heard the grand sneech bv Governor Bickett. The story of David and Jonathan was al ways interesting, but it seemed like he added new beauty to it, and we were glad to know that he had the word of God had away in his heart. Also was glad to give him a hearty handshake. The community was shocked by the sad, sudden, untimely death of Mrs. Frank Parnell. But she was expecting the summons for she said in our Sun day school ciass about a year ago "I don't think I'll live loug. Why, 1 eternity." It is indelable upon our minds to cheer and bless us as long as we stay in this school. Like one sermon preached by Rev.Livingston Johnson in the same pulpit when he was pastor there 15 or 20 years ago, from the text, "He that goeth forth With Weeping Bearing Precious Seeds, Shall Doubtless Come Again Rejoicing, bringing his Sheaves With him." Am glad I heard that excel lent sermon to meditate on. We decided to attend the Sunbeam rally at West Lumberton yesterday afternoon but we met a car before we were a mile away wi th our son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mclntyre, and nephew and niece Mr. and Mrs. Ed. L. McNeil). ?)ming to see us, so we halted awhile between two opinions come back or go on but after all promised to come again another day we went on where a tre.'.t was in store for all present. The children had been well trained by their efficient leaders, Mrs. J. Bennett Mrs. J. P. McNeill and Miss Lillie Nance. It was just inspiring to hear the children sing and recite so beauti fully. Child training is one of the greatest things that can be done and their leaders are to be congratulated for getting up such a nice program and training them so nicely, and they will receive a great reward bye and bye when they hear "good and ';.Ith ful one. well done." Am sorry to know of so much to bacco being planted this time to feed worms on instead of corn to feed our own dear children, sailor and soldier boys. They are trying to raise plants and are building new barns and will neglect cultivating foodstuffs if they do plant them, like the Columbus cor respondent said they would do. Oh! how they will suffer for bread iC they 1 don't heed Robesonian advice and cul tivate food stuffs. Shortage of sugar is nothing compared with a shortage of bread. Why do we hear of meat- done to prevent it. It ought to havt been fought like mad-dogs and rattle snakes one hundred vears ago. A rabid dnf passed near here urday and bit other dogs that havi not been killed. We sympathized with Mrs. Luth- i Sanderson Powell last week when s came to her father-in-law, Mr. W. II Powell, from Norfolk, Va., with thr small children Her husband had just died with spinal miningitis. We have 3 1-2 or 4 acres in wheat and several acre? of rye and oats 550 cabbage plants out, cabbage, sweet English peas, and beets planted! and lots of onions out. AUNT SOPHIA. never expect to see my birthday come j bacco. It is bringing a curse over Maxton Reserves Preparing to Drill Other Maxton News. Maxton Dispatch. The Maxton division of Robeson re serve militia, composed of members from Rowland, Red Springs and Max ton, are preparing to drill, with Lieu tenant W. O. Bennett, of Mavton. commanding. Whether they will don the regalar uniform or Scotch kilts is undetermin ed, but it goes without saying that Lieutenant Bennett and his command in kilts and with a bagpipe wouh; prove a terror to the invader of Robe son. Rev. H. H. Honeycutt of Powells ville, who was recently tendered a call to become its pastor by the Firt Baptist church here, has accepted ana entered i"pon his work. He will re side in the Norman Stewart residence on South Patterson street.

F. D." said in regard to foodstuffs and to flag and nation, and obedience to constituted authority, the Asheville Board of Trade has asked Governor Bickett to urge the placing of a Unit ed States flag on the wall of every school house in North Carolina, and that a minute's time of evory .th ol's daily opening exercise in future be devoted to a "flag exercise" with the .school' standing .t lvtc ar.d repeat ing the following or such other ref erence to the flag as may be prepar ed by State Superintendent of Educa toin J. Y. Joyner, or others to be des ignated by the Governor, to be used for this purpose: "I salute my flag, jour flag, our flag; guarantor of Lib erty, Justice, Education, Opportunity, Safety for Individual, Home, State and Nation. 'I pledge my allegiance to my flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.' " There has been no definite, syste matic effort on the part of our au thorities to teach loyalty, patriotism and love of the flag to the youth of our country. The Asheville organiza tion believes that had such an exercise as the one suggested, or some similar plan, been used in the nublic schools of the country during the past half or quarter century, tneve would now be a different attitude on the part of many of our people toward constituted authority and our institutions of free dom, and a quickened sense of respon sibility to protect them against the danger that threatens. W. H. Hipps, the superintendent of education of Buncombe county, says it is a brillian idea a id is making ar laagements to put it into effect in the schools of the county. Mr. M. N.

A 1 . 1 T T r T ouperintenaent j. x. jovner an nounces that Thrift Day in the schools is only one of a series of "Make, Save, Serve," Days that will be observed once a month for the remainder of the term. The publie school armv en rolled is 649,246 children commanded by 14,550 teachers. To teach this number of North Carolinians the les son of Thrift and Economy, Dr. Joy ner believes, will be a long sten tow ard saving the State and providing for future prosperity. To this work he has called all superintendents, prin cipals and teachers in the name of their country and for the life of free dom. His request to his co-workers is: Superintendents, principals find teachers, in the name of your country, l call upon you, one and all. to re spond to her call in this hour of need, and to marshall and to lead v;ur forces in a vigorous campaign for the purpose and sale of War-Savings Stamps and Certificates. Follow it up unremittingly until North Carolina's quota of fifty million dollars has been so:d. In a time like this, every school should be a patriotic association, ready to respond to every call of the Govern ment tor such service as it can rencer If we lose this war, Government of the people, by the people and for the people will perish from the earth.

We were sorry that rain prevented us j from attending church Saturday and the funeral service, too; also it rained on Sunday. I don't suppose there was any church services at Raft Swamp. i Yesterday was a beautiful day and we enjoyed Rev. Mr. Miller's fine sermon at Back Swamp from the sub ject of "The Chastening hand of the Lord," which be prepared on account of the distress and trouble caused by the black war clouds that hang over us. Everybody ought to have heard it He gave us new thoughts, beauti ful indeed, "of the school of discipline preparing usMtreat tnmgs oi our land and country, which we all must suffer for, if something isn't IMPORTANT.

The In Human Factors Good Service - The Republican national committee .at St. Louis Tuesday adopted a reso lution endorsing the vote of Republi can Congressmen for he Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment. About Constipation. Certain articles of diet tend to check movements of the bowels. The most common of these are cheese, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits, especially apples and bananas; also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bowels. When the bowels are badly constipated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after supper. There are three parties to every tele phone conversation the party calling, the trained operator and the party who answers. All three share alike the respon sibility for quick and accurate telephone service. The calling party should give the cor rect number in a distinct voice, speak ing directly into the transmitter, and wait at the telephone until the party an swers or the operator reports. The called party should answer promptly. Patience on the part of the telephone user and the telephone operator is also es sential to good service. - - WJben you Telephone Smile SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY 2 12 Two Car Loads MULE S To from St. Louis Next W 2 1 T2 !
