IEET ilC Eyery flovsrlcan V Duty. - To wolFk, economize, and lend monev to the Government is the duty of every American. Hundreds of thousands of our men have been called to arms and taken away from productive forces of the country. Hundreds of tlinusands :, of others have been diverted from producing things, used in peace to produce thin ga. used in war - In the face of tht lessened pro ducttve force and" production a great and unusual drain upon our resources is made by our Array and Navy and our Allies. Work and sp'eedup production to mike up for the lessened pro duction; economize in consump tion to lessen as much as possible the drain upon our .. resources; lend your money to your Oovern ment 'la prosecute this war suc cessfully and make our soldiers powerful, effective and victori ous. Every American can do an indi vidual service to his country i'V working, saving, and buying Liberty Bonds. Rbsamatio Psins Relieved.

"There is, therefore, but one response possible for us; force, force to the utmost force without stint or limit, the righteous force which shall make right the law of the world, aud cast every sel fish dominion in the dust." Warning anew that a triumph of arms for Germany means ruin for ail the ideals America has. won and lives for, the Presi dent reiterated he was wii!ing to discuss a?. any time a fair, just and honest peace sincerely proposed, "a peace in which the strong and weak shall fair slike " ' But the answer," said he "when I proposed such a peace came from the German corn- manders in Russia and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answrer. "They are enjoying in Russia," the president declared, ,4a cheap triumph in which no braye or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless Dv their own act, lies for . the time at their mercy. Their fair professions., are. forgotten. They nowhere set up justice, but everywhere impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and aggrand izement, and the peoples of con quered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion, "Are we not justified in believ ing they would do the same on their western fronts if they were not face to face . with armies - whom, their countless di visions cannot overcome"? THESOY BEANOS GREAT YflLOB. " f For Forase and Food for Man and Beast it is Owing to many Jgriculturists stressing the valuevof soy bean's i value as a land bulkier, hog food and roughage for cattle, its val ue as food for man seems to have taken second place ;and this is .. - , - subordinating one of its most use ful functioa Beside ' it others numerous good qualities, it is a most excellent and nutritious. foocfH for man, in fact' it has all the good qualities of the English pea, is equal to the best beans now used on the table and superi- or to any of the leguminous peas, and it is a crop suitable for large vields. It is more nutritious than other beans and peas and, those who have eaten them are delighted with them. J Speaking of the soy bean and urging a greater acreage of them F-P Latham, 'President of tlfe Farmer's State Convention and a member of the State Board of Agriculture who for a . number of 3'ears has been growing soy beans on a large scale .and knows the value of the crop from person al experience says. 4 'I wish to make it plain 'that I regard soybeans one of the yreat siient factors, if not thete reatest, in the future develop-, ment of Southern agriculture, for the following reasons: ' " 1 We have reachedv the point of 'the parting ol the way, ' as shown by the aunual iiicreaae in-fertilizer consumption, to maw din our cropv production. We are stimulating with chemicals our sous to prouuv.e greao.er crops feed: hence that necessarr cle m-ent -humus' is fast being de pleted, as evidence by bare, grit ty appearance ot most old culti vated fiields. "2 I have found soybeans to be the the best all round relief for the condition ever, tried on mv farm, and I have been looking for something of its kind sinceI began farming. An acre of soybeans that pro duce t wo bushels of beans and 1 ton of vines gather between 7r and lOu pounds of nitrogen, most of which is taken from the air. This is combined with the . vege table base and first can be used an animal food and ultimately finds its way to the soil if prudent ly conserved. 'I grow some 75 acres of heans each season, most of which are sown broadcast jn corn at last working and are hogged out between November and March, and I can safelv fig tire 100 to 200 pounds of pork as a siaeiine to every acre ot corn from waste beans, and this oo, leaving the land in far better fix for any crop to follow. , , "If it is desired to use the beans, vines and fall for -forage, it can be converted into the best possible combination feed by cut ting just before the leaves begin to brown; and I seriously doub-t whether there is another crop grown in the South that will make as many feed units per acre one season after another as will soj'beans. . -It does not matter whether it! is a cotton, tobacco, or truck farmer, if he buys a pound, of bacon or forage, it's a uselessex pendirure of funds and an un sound economic principle when both can be secured at lest cost by the incorporation of beans as a standard crop in regular sys tem of -fanning, and ihis can be done -without materially lessening either the acreage or yield of the regular money cropA f : The Old Cow Bell.

WBHace a Sons Has Line of Eostainsrs iicsrass.Coaatrx- : It has been estimated that no Jess than 158,po men have bought suits at the stores of V Wallace & Sons iih Salisbury sine;? having established their .business here. ' For more. than a halfcentury this firm has been doing b u sin ess in Salisbury giv ing the same good; values always handling only reliable: lines of goods, and making friends of. every customer. It is figured that if the Customers of this store could stand side by ide, touching hands, the link would tjross the continent. It would be an army larger than North Carolina furnished in -the civil war, Incidentally V Wallace & Sons are anxious for a larere trade ' this spring as a large amount of their surpluais going into Liberty Bonds'. The firm bought heavily of the last Lib erty issue and will be found buy ing more and more in an effort to help win the war. In talking with the members of the firm it is found that every, man from, the venerable Victor Wallace on down to the boys in the sales de partment, and even to the port er and delivery man, are deeply interested in seeing Uncle Sam do a thorough job in the war game. The Wallaces, like all American business men, .know that the success- of American arms is necessary for their con tinued prosperity and are ever ready to do all it is possible for them to do to assist in the American cause. Wiiat Class are You in? Th"at there is a man in North the war to last fifteen years long er so he can make money Js hot merely hearsay. We know his name and the county he hails from. But we believe he is in a clas to htm self. The farmers, slow but sure, are steadily coming to the call of their Government aud are buyintr War-Savings u O Stamps. Two farmers from John ston County, each of whom- had laid by $1,000 with which to buy an automobile, readily gave their names as Limit Club members when need of their Government was presented to them. Another farmer, in a western county, had laid by $4,000 for a rainy day, he said. But when he understood that his country needed his mon ey more than he, he invested his $4,000 in War Savings Stamps, making his family of four a Lim it Family. Another farmer, we know, refused to lend his money at 8 per cent interest and bought $1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps, saying that was the only way he could help win the war. Some Good Advice. "Don't think too much of your own metheds. Watch other peo ple's ways and learn from them. This is irood advice, esoeciallv when billious : or constioated. You "will find many people .who use Chamberlain's Tablets for these ailments with the best re sul's, and will do well ,to follow their example. An American Peace. . There can be no peace with honor or safety to ourselves or to posterity, except a jnsfcpeace, and there can and will be no other peace. Work for deace accom a. f A plishes nothing but the hamper ing of our effort, the delay of the real peace, and a 'greatef toll ot death of America's fighting men.
