The Robesonian is advised that 14 hounds that had been bitten by a ..,,1 Ancr wprP killed in Alfordsvilie and Maxton townships last week and that the owners of some other dogs that have been bitten have refused to kill them. It is understood that where roof can be furnished that a dog has been bitten by a rabid do the owner is subject to a fine of $500 or impris onment for 6 months if he refuses to kill the dog. Of course a dog tnat has been bitten by a mad dog is a con stant menace to any community and should be killed. Red Cross Liner Wrecked. St. Johns, N. F., Dispatch, eb. 4. . work done by the Lumberton school The crack Red Cross liner Florae! rchaain and gelling War Sav- teachers listened with interest to the discussions of food conservation and War Savings and Thrift stamps. The meeting was called to order at 11 a. m. by Supt. J. R. Poole and oraver was offered bv Rev. Dr. R. C. Beaman, pastor of Chestnut Street Food and its Relation to the War. Mr. H. E. Stacy, county food ad ministrator, was the first speaker on the program and he made a most in teresting talk on "Food and Its Re lation to the War." Mr. Stacy urged the teachers to talk food conservation in the communities where they are teaching, telling them that the gov ernment must reach the people and the best way to reach them is through the schools. In appealing to the lady teachers, Mr. Stacy declared that as was the case in the Civil war, the deeds of heroism of the women in this war would stand out in history as a shining light. The speaker said that all the heroism blood and money in the world could not win this war unless the soldiers at the front are provided with food and that America must provide the food. He continued: "The government has as much right to say to the peo ple at home 'you shall conserve food,' as it has to say to the soldiers, 'you snail ODev tne command oi me om- cers.' Beginning March 4 the Govern ment will begin a campaign to place in every home in Amercia literature on how to conserve food and telling what foods to conserve. This must be done bv the aid of the school teach ers thrughout the country. If the people refuse to follow the instruc tions sent out then the next step of the Government will be to ration the people like they are rationed in Eng land. France. Italy and Germany." The teachers as a whole expressed a willingness to distribute the litera ture to the patrons of their schools. War Savings and Thrift Stamps. Mr. L. R. Varser, chairman ol the War Savings committee in Robeson, evnlained in a most interesting man- . - . . i rm T ner the War savings ana mint stamps. He urged the teachers to or ganize in each school in the county War Savings societies and declared that this is not only a money -saving proposition, but that purchasers of the stamps are aiding the government in carrying on the war. it will teacn the children to save. The teachers were eiven literature explaining the manner of organizing stamp societies, etc. Popularize Habit of Saving. Prof R. E.

Thus, apparently without further hesitation, the Russians are prepared, in an effort to stop the inroads the Germans now are making into their country, to add to the enemy's vast hoidino-R more of Russia's most valua ble western territory, extending irom the Gulf of Finland southward to the Black Sea and even to withdraw her troops from Finland and give back to the Turks what has been taken from them in battle. The surrender seems abject. Russia is immediately to send a delegation to Brest-Litovsk, there to discuss with German representatives the final de tails of the peace and sign the compact. At last accounts the German armies crop, if not better. Rev. A. H. Porter filled his regular appointment at Rozier 3rd Saturday and Sunday and preached able ser mons both times.

He said that every pupil in the graaeo ana lugu school above the first grade owned either a War Savings or Thrift -si: amp and that thousands of dollars worth of stamps had been sold to citizens of the town by the school children, who nrp taking erreat interest in the work. Prof. Sentelle appealed to the teach ers to organize their schools and be gin a campaign to sell stamps in the various communities. The speaker said that the significance of the War Savine-s and Thrift stamps was to ivo thp habit oi saving, de claring that the people of America need to be taught the lesson of thrift. "Statistics show," 'he said that m North Carolina only 7 per cent of the people save a part of what they make and that only 3 out of every hundred have anything saved when tney reacxi the age of 60 years. If we teach the children to save during the war they will save after the war is oveV, which will mean a more substantial citizen ship.
