"Live at Home" ;
Campaign Begins
Emphasis Will be Laid Upon Produc

Feed Supplies Sufficient to Supply
its Own Establishment. . ' '
Raleigh, March 1. A definite start
is being made this week in the work
of putting over Governor . Cameron
Morrison's "Live at Home" campaign.
John Paul Lucas of Charlotte, who
has been secured to organize and di
rect the campaign, has opened an of
fice in the State Department annexj
and the preliminary work is already
under way. The work in prospect is
not new to Mr. Lucas, who had active
direction of the food production and
conservation campaign in North Caro
Una during the war, first with the
State Food commission, and later
with the United States Food 'adminis
tration, and who is "loaned" to the
state for this particular work by thej
Southern Public Utilities company,
for which he is advertising and pub
licity manager.
During the campaign emphasis will
be laid not upon the production of
food supplies for the - market, but
upon the production by every family
of food 'and feed supplies sufficient
to . supply ' its own establishment.
More and better gardens, more poul
try, one or' more cows for each' family,
and sufficient hogs to furnish an all-
year supply of pork will be advocated.
The -new. movement has the wholes
hearted backing not only of the De?
partment . of v Agriculture and th
State College of Agriculture and. En
gineering, but . also . of the Depart
ment .of Education, the State Board
of Health and other v agencies of the
state government. ,

The- many friends of Dr. R. '
Rosier who was hurt when his car
was struck by the V- & C S. train
here, last Friday p. m., are very glad;
to know his injuries are not consider-
ed fatal, and that he is doing nicely.
As Dr. Rosier. is; in the Thompson
hospital. Lumberton, he is not so far
away but what his friends . can ,' run
down" to see him often. We hope he
will soon be" able to returtf home.

turned "home Wednesday the 22nd.
: The new drug store seems to be
a "sure enough thing. The bid bank
building has been rented by someone
from Coats and is being remodeled
for this purpose. A, the old maxim
goes, "competition is the life of busi
ness," they -should make a success
to attorn z drug stores, we shouia
think.
The Theatre building has recently
been rented to new parties and plans
are being made to open up in a few
days.' - - l- :
. We notice the tobacco warehouse,
which was destroyed by fire some
months ago is being rebuilt. By .the
time the tobacco season is here we
suppose, if nothing interferes, they
will have, as good a house or better
ney Deiore.
Mr.. Jess Odom and family " have
mqved to the country. .The building
where Mr. Odom conducted a grocery
business has been rented or sold to
some parties at Raeford, and is being
painted etc., and arrangement made

make a good thing of it, as people
have to eat. -
Prof. Ezell of the high school fa

Rozier taught for him during the few
days of his absence.
A nice little exercise was gotten
up for last Friday evening; the 24th
in honor of Washington's birthday
which was the 22nd. This little cele
bration was gotten up by the teachers

The teachers of these grades show
much interest in the children, of
which we parents are and should be
proud. Much more could be said of
this free entertainment.
On Friday liight at 8 o'clock the
South Fayetteville band gave a

We only regret more pe'ople did not
