V ! 1 HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." volumn xvm. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 27. 1917, NUMBER SO Domestic Science. The best way to learn a girl how to cook and do domestic work is to pnt her to doing the real thing. heu she learns how to make the lire and to keep up the right kind oi heat; ho'w to kneed the dough and bake all kinds of bread; how to take a tough piece of 1aeef and roa&t it tender; how to catch kill, dean and cook a chicken in the various ways; how to make aJi kinds of preserves, jellies and jams; bow to make all kinds of pies and cukes, and how to dress and cook a hog's head, then, having learn ed these necessary fundamentals, it will be an easy matter for her to follow the recipes in cook books and make every .kind of Sunday, or sociecy 'nik-naks." And best of ail, a girl thus educated, won't be too lazy, or to proud to do it, when she learns, either. So it is cutting or making clothing and do ing other domestic duties. Hick ory Times Mercury. Discourage The Emigration Of Negroes'. In the effort to discourage the emigration of negroes from the South which is reported to have assumed such proportions that it is difficult in some localities to se cure sufficient negro labor for farm work and other local needs, the management of the Southern rail way system has adopted the polic ot taking no action to accomodate this travel in the future. Orders have been issued to discontinue, effective at once, the assembling, holding and using of extra passen ger and aggage cars for laborer movements and otherwise to dis coinage the negro exodus from the South in every legitimate manner. Representatives of the develop ment and traffic departments have received instructions to de vote their emergies to the produc tion of a campaign to induce the negro to remain in the South, and backers and business men are be ing urged to endeavor to find em ployment of some kind tor all sur plus labor in their communities. Ex. By Force Not Choice. The spirit of 1861-5 is not in the war of 1917. If many of onr boys go to the front they will have to be conscripted. The enemy is thous ands of miles away. Our country has not been invaded. French trenches do not invite. To be sure there are exceptions. There are thousands who have Koosevelt view; but the great mass of young men have not felt the thrill. Charity and Children. , No Time For Sighs. A poet writes, "I sit and sigh. oh whv." Mavbe it's because of too much sit and too little stir. Perhaps his liver is out of whack. Probably his girl has thrown him down for a bowleged guy. It may be that his nose is out of joint, but in a world so full ol beauty there is no excuse for any fellow to "'sit and sigh." He should get np and go out and weed a row of onions. Wilmington Star. "Huhby Slackers." A Florida preacher announced t the congregation that if a worn an is willing to marry a man she ought to be willing to help him work for a living after the nuptial knot is tied. In many cases, how ever, it turns out that the old man is not willing to help her. make the living. Governor Bickett wants the names of hubby slackers so they can be sent to the trenches. Wilmington Star. Sour Stomach. This is a mild form of indigestion. It is .usually hrought on by eating too? rap idly or too much, or of fockl not suited b yaur digestive organs. If : you . will eat slowly, masticate your food thoroughly, e it but little meat and none at all for s ipper, you will more than likely avoid the sour stomach without, taking vsany medicine whatever. When you have sour stomach take one of Chamberlain's Tab ets to aid digestion.7 ; ' Some Exemption Excuses. Here are some of the exemption excuses that are on record in the Distrct building, Philadelphia, says The Press: "I claim exemption because I'm oneannointed. I'm a saint.'' "Because I have done forgive the Germans for eveiy thing they have done." "Because I have three head of children." 'Because I have an adopted mother" 'Because I'm a garbage collec tor and defender of health." Because of business reasons." Replying to the question, "Have you had any military experience?" due man replied, "Yes. as a bell boy." Among the answers to the ques tion as to whether the eligible men had dependent relatives were these: "Mother-in-law," "god mother," 4 adopted mother," "fiance." "twelve uuder twelve." The freak answers included one in which a man said he was not a natural born citizen, his birth place being in Mississippi. A nother replied he was born in a Pullman car. A colored minister, answering the question, 'I'm a preacher, and God is my boss." Asked for the date of his birth, one man said. "May 30, the year of the Johnstown Hood. No re cord ever kept.' Another said he was not a Cau casian, but a lawyer. One? man who gave his full name as Sam and said that was all there was to it. Another insisted his name waa Ananias Washington.-- ;'South ; east Washington, Eastern branch," was given as the residence of one eligible, while another said, I have no home. I'm a tramp and proud ol it." Among the occupations listed were "pool shooter" aud "tramp." At waterbury, Conn. Boris Ka patsky pleaded vainly lor exemp tion from the draft because he has a wife and two children here and a wife and three children in Uue tia all whom he is supporting. To Lovers. Take heart, ye suitors of slim purses and ardent love, who plunge for white diamonds for somegirl's whiter hand, thereby incurring a sentimental mortgage on the in stallment plan, who assume other fiuanial burdens for gifts under the "easy payment" system, which are for forfeited in case the damsel throws you over for some bold lover who drives an 8 Something car! Justice Bertland E. Spencer in a court ot law. nas ruled mat a man who presents an engagement ring to a man who presents an en gagement ring to a woniau can re cover that costly pledge of aflec tion. in case the eneratiement be broken later. Fobert Meigs, of Middletown, a cross the Connecticut River from Portland, Conn., loved Sarah E. Foote- and after the customary period ot Dining ana cooing pro posed and was accepted. There uDon he bought tne girl an en- gagement ring, modest in price, but just as significant as the big gest diamond until Sarah chang ed her mind. Then Robert practi cally broughjb a replevin suit to get the ring back. In addition to the ring he sned to recover two prosaic umbrellas, which, he alleged, were unlawfully retained by the- de fendant. Evidently the fair Sarah fancied that havi'n is keepin', lor she ab solutely refused to deliver either the ring or the rain guards to the officer w no served the papers in the case, papers which, in cold, ugly language referred to the erst while fnsrafirement rir s and the brace of umbrellas as '"chattels." However. Meie'S rfernonstiated to- Sarah that he could be just as sDunkv as she was. Hence, the suit. Accordingly, Justice Spen cer hs awarded the property by the. v a of damages. Solving The Problem. There is one point in connection with the movemont for the pro duction of an increased supply of food that has not yet' had the at tention it deserves, in our opinion, and that is the opportunties offered in the raising of hogs. North Caro lina is behind quite a number of other states in this particular, and there is no good reason why .that should be. The numberNof hogs in propotion to population is much lesi than it should be, for we have facilities for hog production that justify much greater activity, along that line. The meat problem in this country was assuming serious proportions before the war. Naturally it is be coming more acute every day. One of the easiest and quickest ways to aid in solving it is to raise hogs. The pig clubs and other agencies are doing much stimulate interest in in that matter in this state but there is still too. little attention to it. Winston Sentinel. Barrel-Grown Potatoes. I have a letter from a gentleman at Pine Bluff, N. C, asking for de tails of the barrel potato-growing stunt relerred tj in this depart ment recently, saying he is anxious to try it out. On Wednesday I was at Chester, S. C, and in conversation with A. A. Lloyd, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce. I learned there are two methods of growing Irish potatoes by this means. Each re puires a good, strong barrel, with rich earth, plenty of lertilizer and lots ol water. Mr. Lloyd's plan is to bore two-inch holes, in the bar rel to allow .surplus water to escape, and also to luinish needed air lor tubers to fmake.'-' Then -place-a layer of earth in. the bottom of the barrel, about a loot deep, and in this single potatoj uncut, is plant ed. As the vine or plant from this potato grows, the (scheme is to con tinue adding earth, and giving the whole plenty , of water, applying the fertilizer with each succeeding addition off earth. Finally,ay8 Mr. Lloyd, the plant will, reach the top of the barrel, after (which no further at tention is neccesary aside from ap plying water., Wnen the vines die, which theywill do when . the potatoes have completed making, the barrel is allowed to staud for two weeks, after it is knocked to pieces, and irom one to two and a half bushels are found enclosed" This sounds pretty good, and Lloyd says it worked last year and hundreds of birrels are being used in this way in Chester this Sum uier. Juniorj Observer in Charl lotte Observer. Cholera Morbus. This is a verj' painful and dangerous disease. In atfmost every neighborhood someone has dt'ied from it before medicine could be obta;tiied or a physician sum moned. Thejiight way is to have a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in theVhouse so as to be prepared for it. Mrs. Ch wles Enyeast, Huntington Ind., writes: "BHiring the summer of 1911 two of my children were taken sick with cholera morbus.

Testimonials sent free V ADVERTISEMENT Married Men May Not Be Draft- - ed At First. The single men will be the first selected for the draft army and that married men will be free from in ital draft, appears td be certain ac cording to dispatches from Washing ton during the past few days. While no offical statement to this effect ha9 been made by the war department, t is believed that this policy will be followed by the administration. This does not mean, however, that married men are to be exempted as a class, but individuals. If the time should come, however, when more men are needed than can be supplied from the lists of single men, then it is believed that married men will be called upon to help fill the ranks of the great army. That the married men will not be exempted as a class, is due perhaps o the fact that hundreds and even thousands of them on last Tuesday stated on their registration cards that they did not claim exemption on the grounds that they were mar ried. The appointment of the exemp tion boards for this state will doubt ess be made by T. W. Bickett this week. It is the plan to appoint a board of three members for Ashe ville another of three members also, for Buncombe county. These boards will hear and pass upon all claims for exemption from local men. If a man is accepted by, the board, de spite his exemption." then he will have the of appeal to the federal 1-1 1 1? t 1 ooara, wnicn it is oeuevea win siu in this district.

A circus came to a little New England town an Irishman turned up early in the day askiug if he could not get a job helping to pitch the tents or feeding the animals, or price of admission to the circus. The manager said, 44 I'm sorrj Pat. but we've got all the help we want. But I tell you. The lion died last night, and what is a cir cus without a lion? We've kept his pelt and head. Now if you will just get into the pelt, and lie down as though the lion was a sleep tover in the corner ot the cage, I'll give you two dollars." Pat thought it au easy way to earn two dollars and accepted the offer. fhey put him into the skin and opened the door of the cage. He started iu but immediately jump ed back with a yell for there, over. in the corner of the cage wa& a great bengal tiger lying fast a sleep. They gave him a shove. but he jumped back again yelling, "I'll not gc into the cage with that baste over yonder." Where- unon the titrer lilted his head - CJ somewhat iu susonse and said "Come right in, Pat, I'm an Irish man, too!"

The tendency during the pst four years to enct legislation that reaches far beyond the fiehl Iu which such legislation is necessary has been emphasized by Senator Albert 11. Cummins of Iowa, oi e of the nblect lawyers in the upper brauth of Congress. This pro -ess has been accelerated iu the last, tvo years, until dow when B'inif bedy discovers a' defect in the law, which everybody is ia favor ot remedying, au amendment is pro posed not limited to the case which has been discovered, but made so comprehensive an to entirely over reach the result sought. Particul arly is this true, declares the Sen ator, iu the various emergency measures now being recomended to Congress by the Administration.
