Boys 1G years old and over are
urged to register during the week
beginning MaTch 8 for work on the
farms and shops in order to re
place as far as possible those mil
lions of men who have been called
into the national service. Furthei
details of the enrollment, which is
under the auspices of the federal de
partment of labor, are expected, and
in the meantime boys who have not
much to do may be thinkh g the mat
ter over. Here is a chance to earn
good wages and at the same time
serve the country.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, whose deatn
occurred at Ottawa the other day,
rendered fine service to his country
for more than three years of bitter
war, during which time the Uniteu
States was drawn in. But then,
was never the slightest strain on his
reputation as a statesman and gen
tleman, in marked contrast to an
other ambassador, who was dismiss
ed, and to a third, whose conduct
was so notorious that he can never
return to this country.

HAVE LOST SYMPATHY
The Russian revolution could have
had a good cll'ect on the people of Ger
many and Austria had moderates like
MiliuUotr and Kerensky retained con
trol of the government, but a reac
tion was bound to follow the taking
over of tho government by the bol
sheviki. Men had rather endure
oppression than anarchy and laui
der, and Austrian and Germans
who might have looked to the cast
for light have now recoiled from the
darkness they beheld. The Berlin
Socialist paper V'oerwarts, which
had been holding out a friendly hand
to the Russian bolshcviki, now dis
avows any sympathy with them, a
disavowal, we may be sure, that was
made only after this organ of Ger
man radicals had been convinced
that the cause of freedomwas being
retarded by tho wild men who now
hold the destinies of Russia. The
bolshevik is backward and not foi
ward, and no sane people would
want Lo exchange almost any form
of government for the wreck ana
ruin polick pursued by Trotzky and
Lcnine,
Progressive Watauga, we may call
it. With a bond issue for good roads
and a bond issue in Boone township
for a railroad, the best mountain
county in the south will be able to
draw dividends on its great capital
of natural resources.
St. Andrews Lutheran church has
a small membership, but a live one.
That church subscribed $664 in one
day to the campaign fund to keep
ministers at the front with Lutheran
boys. . That's the spirit.
When the war broke out every
body in this country felt that ships
would win the war, and this was
the cry throughout the country. Foi
some reason a slow start was made;
but the need of ships has been
greater with each day of the war.
If Russia would only use some of
those powder and bullets where they
would do the most good.
We say it now and we will repeat
it in July that the summer time is
the best.

Get in line today. Join this movement to finance
government out of your small change.
If your boy or girl has some money in a little tin ba&k, bring
it down and put in in Thrift Stamps issued by the government.
We make no charge. We handle them free, and will give you
a circular showing how they work. These stamps are rtal
By only' Baby Government Bonds, and should be in every home in
America. They are redeemable at any time, and bear four per

Tho Poles now realize more than
ever that the Germans were promis
ing them a free state only to obtain
support in the war against Russia.
How hollow this promise was could
be seen at tho time Germany did
not intend to create a new Poland
out of the old Poland, but only
from that part which Russia a
quired as her part of the nefarious
division of tho former kingdon.,
which also included Austrian Galicia
and East Prussia. Now Germany
has promised the Ukraine a part oi
Polalnd for making a separate peace
and agreeing to furnish supplies, and
in tho meantime the Poles are in a
frenzy over the trick.
ISA1LROAD TO REACH NORTH
CAROLINA IRON
State Food Administrator Henry
A. Page explained to a minister who
thought the United States should not
send wheat to England as long as
the breweries in Britain are allow
ed to operate that it is not the
business of one democratic country to
tell another what it should do: wff
have enough if we look after our
own affairs; but Mr. Page explained
that tho breweries use barley, which
is not required in making bread, and
that all the waste is used to feed
stock. Like most of us, Mr. Page
is a prohibitionist, but he won't let
his personal views stand in the way
of doing the right thing.
The United States expects to re
lease 4,000,000 tons of shipping for
the transportation of troops and sup
plies by tho president's recent ol
der placing all foreign commerce un
der license. Only necessities will be
traded in, and American ships will
be withdrawn from the non-essential
trade and put to carrying men ana
suppliles to Europe. Neutral ships
will bo used between the Pacific and
Asia and the Atlantic and South Am
erica and the allies will take over
hunderds of vessels.
George Cochran, whoso Newton
hens were the wonder of this section
(luring those few days when hens an,
bound to lay, is having a little joke
on Maj. W. S. Bernard, well known
Wilmington editor, who is planting
a potato crop this year. In the
Star George says that New Hanover
is to increase its potato crop 150
per cent and that the major will
come across with 50 per cent of the
increase. One of these days an ed
itor will have a real garden thougn
who he will be nobody knows.
What this section needs, after
good highways, is a road from Le
noir to Blowing Rock. It should
be electrically operated.
Wilmington Star.
One of the hopeful signs that the
natural resources of the mountain
regions of North Carolina are to be
developed on a considerable scale
comes in the announcement that on
Tuesday last at a special election in
Boone township, Watauga county,
the citizens voted in favor of a
township issue of $20,000 in bonds
for the construction of a railroad
that will give an outlet for the min
eral, timber and agricultural produc
tion of that portion of one of the
most marvelous sections of the
mountain region of the state.
This means that the county seat
town of Boone will be connected with
the outside world by rail. The
bonds will be used in the extension
of the Linville River railroad, which
now operates from Johnson City,
Tenn., to Shulls Mill, in the southern
part of Watauga county.' This will
extend the road seven miles from
Shull's Mill to Boone, the provision
being that the road shall be con
structed within a year. This ar
rangement, it is understood, the
Linville River railway company is
prepared to carry out.
When the seven miles of road is
completed Boone will have direct
connection with both Tennessee and
North Carolina. Connection with
the C. C. and O. at Johnson City
gives them splendid connection with
the west, and persons leaving Boone
in the morning by touching Johnson
City and Marion, will be able to
reach Greensboro the same evening.
The road that is to be extended
runs through a portion of the rich
iron region of Wfatauga county.
While the connection with the in
terior and coastal portions of North
Carolina is round-about through
Johnson City, Tenn., the development
of railroad building in the mmeral
section of the state increases the
possibilities that gome day that re
gion can get into direct connection
with the port of Wilmington by means
of connecting lines now in operation
or that ought to be built.
The new extension to Boone, it is
expected, will prove of great com
mercial and industrial advantage to
the town of Boone and the fine
mountain section that it will serve.
Tn fact, its nromoters and the peo
ple of the whole county are enthu
siastic over the possibilities of get
ting out to market with the timber,
cattle and varied agricultural pro
ducts of an unknown Eldorado of
natural resources .A great variety
of harwoods abound in the section
that is to have the benefit of rail
transportation.
SEAPLANE SiHOT DOWN AND
AMERICAN PILOT MISSING
Washington, Feb. 19. A naval
seaplane on scout duty in European
waters has been shot down and its

vant of Washington, D. C. is missing

THREE HUSKY FELLOWS READY TO
HELP OUT IN THE LABOR SHORTAGE
1 LLJ-rrMaMMB!i8tJ

Common labor is
today the most
sought after com
modity in America,
It Is very scarce
throughout the en
tiro country. Farm
en of the South
are especially wor
ried over the situ
ation. During war
times the farmer
should be doubly
economical of so
J. N. HARPER valuable a com
modity as labor. It must not be wast
ed. Now is not the time to employ
labor to clean out fence corners, and
to do other kinds of the less produc
tive work. There must be no lost mo
tion. Every llok must be made to
count In answering the call of our na
tion and her allies, who are calling out
to the farmer "Give us bread! Give us
clothing I "
The best way to economize labor
on the farm today is to produce more
per acre. The southern farmer will
act most unwisely if he tries to culti
vate too much land with the present
supply of labor. A better plan would
be not to increase the acreage devoted
to cultivated crops, but to produce
more per acre, by the use of fertiliz
T, manure, good seed and Improved
machinery, all of which will save la
bor. One ton of good fertilizer will do
Rort work la zrowln orona than will
six times this amount of money ex
pended in labor. For example, one
ton of good fertilizer will now cost
about $46.00. The plant food in this
quantity when applied to three acres
of land will give an increase of about
750 pqunds of lint cotton and 1,600
pounds of seed. The lint at 30c per
pound amounts to $225.00, and the
seed at $80.00 per ton amounts to
$60.00, making a total of $285.00.
Few business concerns net 50 per
cent Increase on money invested in
labor, but, granting that the farmer
will net 100 per cent on his invest,
ment in labor, and supposing that he
pays $1.00 per day for labor, the
$46.00 invested in fertilizer, when in
vested in labor, would net him $46.00;
whereas, when Invested in fertilizer, it
gives him a net increase of $239.00
Thus it can be seen the tremendous
advantage of supplementing labor
with liberal applications of plant food
Likewise an Improved piece of ma
chinery that makes it possible to cul
tivate an acre of cotton or corn with
perhaps half tho labor ordinarily em
ployed, and cultivate it better, should
be looked to at this time as a source
of help in facing tho labor shortage.
Good seed of a strain known to do
well in a community will do much to
ward increasing yields, without an in
crease of acreage.
Is this not a time when the farmer
should be sure to use these three cron
makers, to the fullest extent, to oft
set the labor shortage? V ,
