IF you produce 40 bushels of corn to
the acre your cost per bushel is less
than that erf your neighbor who raises
only 20 bushels.
Therefore, you could sell more com
for a dollar than your neighbor.
The same principle applies to shoes.
Roberts, Johnson & Rand make more shoes
than any other manufacturer. The more they
make the less they cost to make. y This saving
goes into extra quality. v
There are lots of good shoes, but

panies for the large counties. The
regulations for the ..selective draft are
to be immediately framed and the

proved by the state council of defense.

ing up the formation of the militia
companies are the crimes committed

THE SHEEP AND THE DOG.
The Atlanta Constitution and the
Asheville Citizen are engaged "almost
daily, in an effort to head off the wool
famine. They are urging sheep rais
ing for which both North Carolina and
Georgia are peculiarly adapted. These
propagandists find that the only ob
stacle is the sheep killing vagabond
dog. The farmers believe that there
is a fortune in sheep but legislative
dog obsessibn stands in the way of
their sheep opportunity. Many are
going to try it anyhow ,but In the
meantime mossback legislatures are
unceremoniously invited to; contem
plate the fact that they have done
their bit as promoters of the wool
famine. Wilmington Dispatch.

The Citizen is informed that gov
ernment surveyors are at work on a
large area of unimproved land be
tween 'Southern Pines and Fayettevllle
and that Uncle Sam's agents are get
ting options on the lease or purchase
of 175,000 acres of land for the pur
pose of making a big permanent train
ing camp for soldiers. The story
goes that the purchase of this lana
means the expenditure of about $2
000,000, while the annual rental would
amount to the tidy sum of $200,000.
It is estimated that this great camp
would mean the expenditure of a mil
lion dollalrs a month. That woulo
mean considerabel to Southehn Pines.
It is said that something like 100,000
acres ara now under option and that
the matter will be decided within the
next two weeks. The camp would
come within four miles of Southern
Pines and the other end would be
about the same distance from Fayette
