G, JULY 27, 1917 Subscription $1.50 a Year in Advance R a O Order of Liability for Service of Men of Roanoke Rapids Township Names of First Two Hundred Men Who Will be Called for Examination Appear Below. Community's Quota in Doubt If all Enlistments are Credited None will be Called in First Draft Full Quota 40 to 50 Men Basis of Population. Notification Cards to be Mailed This Week EXEMPTION BOARD BEGINS HEARINGS AUGUST 4 The names of the first two who will be called up for examination before the Exemption Board of Halifax county appear below. the list of numbers given to the the county and although not absolutely, is substantially correct If reckoned on basis of population, without credit for voluntary enlistments, this community's quota of the first draft would be forty to fifty men. As men with dependents will be exempted and many will fail to pass the physical requirements, probably 125 to ISO men would have to be examined to certify this quota for service. If the community is given credit for all who have voluntarily enlist ed in the different arms of the service, none will be called up for the first draft, and few for the second. The Board of Exemptions of Halifax county has received the master lists, showing the numbers in the order drawn at Washing ton and it has been ruled that the posting of this list at Halifax is sufficient notice for all whose names appear thereon. As a courtesy cards will be mailed in the next few days to all who are to come up for examination. These cards will be mailed to the postoffice addresses given on the registration cards and failure of delivery will be no excuse for failure to report according to law. The Exemption Board plans to begin actual examinations on Saturday, August 4. Those called up for examination will re port, be examined physically, file exemption claim, if they are en titled to do so, and have this claim passed or refused: if refused they will be certified for service. Claims for exemption based up on profession or occupation must be made before the District Ex emption Board for Eastern North Carolina which sits at Wilson.

TO KEEP WELL AND ENJOY SUMMER Suti Beard ( Hcaka Offers Ad vice On Suncr Healtk Habits In order to spend a comfort able, healthful summer whether at home or at some resort, says the State Board of Health, one must look first to his diet, then to his bathing, and then to his sleep, exercise and recreation. A few general precautions are also included in the list The diet should consist largely of raw and cooked fruits, well cooked vegetables milk and but ter, but very little of meat, eggs and heavy foods. One should eat less in summer than in winter especially of heat-producing foods such as meats, eggs, and partries. Besides producing heat they tend to constipation and mental sluggishness. Drink much water but not quantities of ice water. Above all avoid con stipation. Take a bath every day. A cool sponge bath every morning on getting out of bed and a tub bath at night will do much toward keeping the body in good condi tion and will make for comfort as well. Sleep regularly eight hours. If at all practical, sleep out on a sleeping porch. Arrange to sleep in as much moving air as possi ble. Nothing enables one to withstand the heat of summer with ease as plenty of undisturb ed sleep in the open air. Exercise some every day. Open air games in the cool of the day are good for both the mind and the booy. Don't leave off walking because the weather is warm. Walk early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Walking is always essential to health. Recreation is another form of mental and physical rest and is necessary to mental and physical health. Vacations, outings, camping parties anything that will give diversion, that will break the monotony and grind will be beneficial and health making. Other precautions making for personal comfort during the summer are: Don't talk hot weather, don't think heat; avoid as much as possible direct expo sure to the sun; wear light weight clothing; go slow and do nothing in excess; don't dissipate, don't over-eat or indulge in alco holics. But think of the joys of summer and make up your mind to enjoy them freely. Special Service For Men Only ALL SAINTS Episcopal Church .

CLAUDE UTCH13 IS AIDING Seven tv two of the young men of tms community have testified in actions that speak louder than words, flag waiving, or hurrahing, their kve of country and their w illingness ! to risk their lives to protect the ideals for which she stands. Next week, if possible, we wish to give the names of all those who have enlisted from this com munity. This information would have been contained in this issue, if it had been obtainable, but due to the fact that the enlistments were divided among three Com panies of the National Guard (Henderson, Warrenton and Franklinton), the regular army and the navy, an accurate record could not be obtained in time. Due to the efforts of Mr. W.F. Horner and the co-operation of the business men and citizens of this community a farewell din ner was tendered the boys on Tuesday night at the Terminal Hotel in Weldon, automobiles be ing pressed into service for the occasion. Wednesday noon saw the first concrete evidence of war press ed home to this community when the boys left on S. A. L. No. 11 i for the various mobilization points. The partings witnessed there are probably but the fore - runner of many more before the German people can be brought to reason or the Stars .and Stripes planted in Berlin, but sadness did not seem to predominate at the station, but rather a spirit of optimism The question ha? been raised here as the method to be used by the County Exemption Board in establishing the quotas for the various townships in the county and accrediting the dis trict with its voluntary enlist ments. It has been widely circu lated that the several townships would not be credited with their actual enlistments, credit being given the county as a whole for the volunteers it has furnished. As Roanoke Rapids Township as furnished around seventy five men, or something like five times as mt'i h as the other eleven townships, the injustice of this method is glaringly obvious. The matter was taken up Thursday by Mayor J. T. Chase, who wired Congressman Claude Kitchen as follows: "Seventy two men left Roanoke Rapids Town ship yesterday enlisted in various branches of United States mili tary forces. In fairness to all concerned, should nut Roanoke Rapids Township obtain credit for these men as applied to the se lective draft and not Halifax county. What steps would you advise to bring this matter to the attention of the proper authori ties for adjustment. Please an swer by wire our expense. J. T. Chase, Mayor, Roanoke Rapids, N. C." The following answer received: "Wire received. War Depart ment informs me that voluntary enlistments after June 30 are not accredited to first draft but will ( be to second if rules governing second draft are not changed. Roanoke Rapids will be credited with number .of enlistments since June 30 instead of Halifax County. Claude Kitchen." Efforts are now being made to determine the exact number of enlistments prior to June 30 for credit in the first draft, and as soon as this information is ob tained, efforts will be made to have the War Department wire the Exemption Board of Halifax County for this credit Unless this township is given credit for its enlistments instead of their being credited to to the county as a whole, it will mean that this community will furnish 2o0' more men than are furnished by Weldon. Enfield. Scotland Neck and the other towns who have had few voluntary enlistments, an injustice which will cause deep bitterness here beyond questi wu The community is willing and anxious to do its share, but they do not want to do any other com munity's share.

Gentlemen: There has been quite a bit of complaint about the first crop of Irish potatoes making a big plant and no tubers. The State Horticulturist believes that this is caused by a lack of Potash in the ground or in the fertilizer that was used. To avoid having the same result with the fall crop a special eiTort t hou Id be made to aU a potash bearing fertilizer to the soil or to the potatoes after they come up. The following fertilizers contain potash that may be used, Cotton Seed meal 1.70',. . Murate of Fotash 51.00'a , Sulphate of Potash 82.00'. Rot ton tobacco stalks 5.00'., Un leached Wood ashes 5. 25 'k . Any of these will pay well for a crop like potatoes, if any can be se cured. The Murate and Sulphate of Potash are hard to get and for this reason the others will have to be used in most cases.. Donald M. McClver, County Agent roun COURT FACTS AND FIGURES J. M. Hudson, assault and battery upon the person of Mr. A. L. Bain, due to the latter's attempt to put him off the prop erty of the Roanoke Mills Com pany, fined $3.00 and costs.
