Wednesday evening, april 19, 1916 Bulletin from Oyster Bay: Colonel is making no pre parations to attend the Chicago convention. (Probably prefers to be "officially" notified at home.) ' Fu'ni Brltton is disturbed because he believes old .n Vox Populi is becoming extinct in the face of the ogrm being made in paid political advertising. Take urage, old man, there are a few of the species left. - tfome nrmy physician is calling attention to the fact hat defective ears, eyes, hearts or feet and addiction to the JLjuor evil are obstacles in the way of enlisting in Unde Sam's army. No doubt soma of the booze-guzzling artists who have keen clamoring so vigorously for war 4 have already had the tip. ' , We wonder If the Washington correspondents, who are so buaily forming the country that the American troops will be vithilrawn u soon as Villa's death is confirmed, are under the impression 'that newspaper readers and th" public generally think that American troops are in Mexi co for their health. : f ( mm 1 One of our conitemporaries bemoans the fact that Villa in not possessed of nine lives, to that those who have suffered from his depredations might have their All of vengo From the number of reports of his demise since 'the American forces started after him it will no', be surprising to find out that he is allotted even mora than the proverbial number given to Hhe cat . Dr. Cyrus Thompson thinks the Declaration of Inde pendence is at fault in declaring that all men were cre ated free and equal. Unquestionably there have been many handicaps of disease and lost opportunities to af flict the majority of the poor creaitures since the Decla ration was penned, but in a country which stands for freedom, it is fortunately possible for many of those who have had such obstacles to contend with to surmount them, and they have done so. . ' With tho arrest of ths former secretary to Captain Von Pa pen, persona, non grata, attache of the German Austrian Embassy,, who was shipped some time ago at the request of the Administration, H begins to look like the Government only chopped off the head of the con spiracy. One by one, the lieutenants are being run to earth,, and it will he a most wholesome lesson and entire ly satisfactory to the people of 'this country when the Administration can land behind the bars a few of these hirelings. To deport them simply to be decorated with medals of honor when they reach the Fatherland wil' liavo little retarding effect upon the activities of others who were engaged in the service of violating the neutral ity of this country. ' - RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLEAN-TOWN. Housekeepers' of Kinston, remember, you can have a pile of old tin cans and other refuse removed from your premises uhls week at the expense of the city. This and next Wisk are the official clean-up works, so desijrnated by the Mayor. The hearty co-operation of every cstieen will do-much' .to put the city in a ennitary condition, and will be of much assistance in keeping it so during the boated farm. The Free Press is yet hopeful that before the real hot weather is hre the ciiy authorities will find it possible It arrange for a regular systematic cleaning up of the city every week. It has been suggested in these columns repeatedly that the city should provide for the hauling of garbage and refuse from the back lots, and we believe that even if it is necessary for a small charge to be made for each load the city officials would And a ready response to any euch efforts that they might make. In some places the city handles trash on the basis of five cents a load and certainly the citizens of Kintf:on would be far more willing to pay five cents than twenty-five and fifty, which they are called upon to do now, if they want to have their places cleaned up. The responsibility most assuredly rest upon the city authorities to make the wjy easy and to remove as far as possible every obstacle to make the city clean and sanJtary. e ARMY OFFICIALS SHOULD NOT BEAR ALL RESPONSIBILITY. A report came out of Washington a few days ago to some of the State papers in which it was said that a high official of 'the Administration had charged the res ponsibility for the Columbus raid to the negligence of the army officers on duty at that point. The story al leged that all of the officers were absent from the camp on the morning of the raid and, further, had they been on duty, exercising the proper care, Bandit Villa and his gang would not have attempted Hhe'raid. It may be true that the American troops were not properly prepared for the raid. It was very evident that the attack was unexpected. Had there been the proper vigilance American troops would have been on guard in sufficient numbers to have given successful chase and probably averted the necessity for the punitive ex pedition, the outcome of which is yet most doubtful., It, nevertheless, remains true that so long as Villa ran at large in the territory contiguous to American life and property, there was always imminent danger of a mas sacre, and because of the dismal failure of the recognized Government of Mexico to bring to justice this arch out law, the necessity for 'the forces of the United States be ing called to protect life and property of its citizens was only a question of time, and the army officers at Colum bus where, according to reports, only a small garrison was stationed, should not be made scapegoats and have the entire responsibility unloaded on them. It would have been far better had the party, immediately giving chase to the outlaws, beer, sufficiently large to have over taken and routed them; the danger of international com plications would then have been averted because the "hot trail" precedent would have obviated the necessity of many exchanges of notes. ' We hope that the forces under General Pershing will accomplish their mission and be withdrawn without seri ous complications arising with the de facto government of Mexico, but whether that is accomplished or not the expedition was apparently inevitable. WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT RURAL CREDIT LEGISLATION. , Southern Ruralist: "A reader inquires why we do not continue to urge rural credits legislation. As a matter of fact the Ruralist has discussed this subject more per sistently and has urged congressional action more stren uously than any other journal in America. Reference to our columns for 'the past four years will demonstrate Ihls fact "There are two reasons why we have stopped agitat ing the subject. First, constant reiteration becomes tire some and loses force. We can hit harder, be less weari some and more effective by taking a rest Second, there is no immediate possibility of action in Congress. There are nineteen different rural credits bills pending. There Is no approach toward unanimity of sentiment We have not made up our mind as to exactly which or what is best. The one thing on which we are absolutely convinc ed is that any rural credits system to be really useful to the farmer must be backed by national credit "We think, however, that the passage of a really ef fective measure would be greatly helped if those endeav oring to force congressional action would, be satisfied with this degree of government financing and not con tinue to insist that the government shall actually go di rectly into the business of making farm loans." WOULD NOT BE OUT OF PLACE IN GREENSBORO. Greensboro Record: "A Kinston cop being called upon to ca'l the court to order is reported to have said, 'God have mercy on this honorable court.' We can appreciate the gentleman's appeal." f Js -.1 . :: ' 1- J. '.; ,".1 ..-,.,.''

Office Hooft Dtiig Slw, TQIEY KiimY Mis A SAVING YOU MAY HAVE MISSED WHAT DOES IT MEAN to you to be told that TiUa engines burn kerosene? Not much, does it? Yet because of that fact, you would make the mistake of your life if you bought any other engine. - Gasoline and kerosene engines burn about ithe same amounts of fuel. .Gasoline now costs, in most places, over 100 per cent, mors than kerosene. V' "' ' A GIL P. engine, gasoline or kerosene, burns 700 to 800 gallons of fuel in 1,000 hours' work. At present average prices, 700 gallons of gasoline would cost you about $175, while 800 gallons of kerosene costs but $96 or thereabouts. i y y A Titan 6 H. P. engine, burning kerosene, would itheref ore save you somewhere around $70 a year. Now do you realize what a startling statement that is? Titan engines burn kerosene. See me before you buy any other engine. Prices right and terms to suit you. H. H. GRAINGER, KINSTON, N.
