The board of trustees of the North Carclina Anti-Saloon Leasrue has decided to ask the next Legis lature to enact the following laws: 1. To prohibit clubs and other public places from storing or keep ing liquor for beverage purposes. 2. To prohibit the advertising of liquor in any way, even to the sale of papers that do advertise it. 3. To prohibit the sale, manu facture for sale, of wine and hard cider. 4. To prohibit the delivery of liquor by public carriers and the Teceipt of the same. 5. To make it unlawful for any one to have in possession, for any purpose, more than one-half gal lon of spirituous liquor. 6. To provide for the seizure and the confiscation of any prop erty—automobile, wagon, or any thing else—used in transferring liquor for illegal purposes. Soy Beans and Cowpeas. W. It. Bailey, Farm Demonstrator. Why not plan for a large acre age of the summer legumes, soy beans and cow peas? Seed is cheap and owing to the long dry spell wheats oats and rye have not taken much fertility out of the soil, and certainly it has not been leached out by excessive rains. Altogether, it seems a great opportunity this year to make some cheap feed and at the same time increase the soil fertility. But don’t forget the phosphate. It will stimulate early maturity whether for hay or seed and will almost double the yield of seed. Legumes are all hungry for phosphate, in fact it is oretty well proven that nowhere do fertilizers pay so well as under legumes. J. P. Bird of Glen wood had an interesting experience with peas. Brabham and clay peas were plant ed in hills between corn that had phosphate under it. Brabhams made more than double the seed and much more vine than clays. Vines and corn stalks were plowed under and all sowed to wheat. Now the wheat is so much better where Brabhams grew that one can stand off 100 yards aod see to the very row where each grew. W. T. Morgan finds that one acre of Brabhams will make as much seed as three of clays. C. M. Pool sums the matter up by saying “There is no doubt about it being the best pea for McDowell county.” This is because it resists wilt and nematode, two serious diseases of the pea found practically all over the county. Last year a number of, progressive farmers over the county had experiences similar to those mentioned. Seed is offered at $1.50 per bushel and at that price one could well afford to buy all Brabhams, even for soil im provement. And does not getting ahead in the game of farming, as well as that of life, depend largely ui^n making use of the better things and better ways of doing things? Excellent Recital Thursday Night On last Thursday evening at the graded school auditorium the mu sic pupils of Mrs. P. A. Reid gave their annual recital, rendering a class of music in such a manner as to show a year of close application and careful practice. The pro gram consisted of solos, double duets, double trios, double quar tettes and the entire class in Sol dier’s Chorus, from Faust, Ha waiian Love Song and one or two selections from High Jinks. The solos were played with brilliant execution and delicate technique, while the duets and trios showed careful training and precision in expression as well as pleasing se lections. Each one taking part gave evidence of musical art. Mrs. Reid has long been known as a capable pianist and a teacher of the hightest ability and deserves much recognition for this excellent recital, one of the most elaborate given. Our townspeople should also be justly pleased that so many talented and promising musicians are among our young ladies and young gentlemen. Geo, S. Tate Dies in Baltimore. Mr. Geo. S. Tate, a well known and highly respected citizen of this county, died last Thursday morn ing at the Baltimore General Hos pital in Baltimore, Md., where he went for treatment several days ago. Mr. Tate was 52 years old and had been in failing health for a year or more, suffering from diabetes. He was a member of one of the most prominent families of the county and had a wide ac quaintance and many friends. Mr. Tate united with Providence Methodist church 33 years ago, was a steward in the church, and he took a keen interest in the work of the church and school in his community. As a farmer he made a success in a material way, and he took an active part in all work for community welfare. He was a member of Mt. Ida Lodge No. 58, K. of P., and the members of the order attended the funeral in a body and took part in the final ceremonies at the grave. The funeral took place at Provi dence church Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. The services were con ducted by the pastor. Rev. R. F. Mock, who paid eloquent tribute to the memory of the departed. A large crowd attended the funeral services, attesting the high esteem in which the deceased was held. A widow and eight children are left to mourn the death of a de voted husband and father. The deceased is also survived by four brothers and two sisters, namely: H. H. Tate of this place, H. A. Tate of Greenlee, W. C. and R. F. Tate of Union Mills: Mrs. George McCurry and Mrs. W. M. Sweeney of this place. Citizens are reminded that this is the month for taxlisting. Only one more week in this month and there are many who have failed to list their property thus far. It is again rumored that Eng land, Germany and France are con sidering the appointment of a joint commission for the consideration of peace in Europe. If there is any one thing under the sun that the rest of the world ardently de sires, it is that this rumor may be founded upon fact and not con ceived in the fertile brain of some lying foreign correspondent. The world is satiated with the unspeak able horrors of this war. It wants peace, and it wants it to continue unshattered until the crack of doom. Rapid legislative strides encour aging to administ ation leaders who hope for adjou *nment of Con gress late in July o ■ early in Au gust, were made in the house dur ing the week just passed but the senate is still in the throes of a fili buster against the $43,000,000 riv ers and harbors appropriation bill.

W. Gilliam for County Treasurer. 1st. He is a Christian gentleman, a great church and Sunday school worker. 2nd. He has a splendid business tact, which every man does not •have. He also has a friendly turn and makes friends readily wherever he goes. He is never too busy to do the kind and courteous thing. 3rd. He has always been loyal to the party. The writer has known him for 30 years and he has always been ready to do all in his power to strengthen and build up the party. He has always stood firmly for democracy. 4th. We have never had a paid of ficer from this section. 5th. He is a farmer and the farmers friend. For these reasons and others we think that Mr. Gilliam should be nominated and if nominated we believe he can be elected by a large majority. Adv. It.
