PROBABLY MEANS MILLION FOR GOOD ROADS llv Half Million Dollar Bond Issue lo build and maintain a system of good roads lot Halifax County was carried in the election Tuesday by a majority ol 538 votes. The campaign was led in this section by Messrs. W. L Long, J no. L Patterson and Geo, C Green and other prominent men. The opposition was apparently led by Mr. A. Paul Kitchin, of Scotland Neck. A summary of the official return published elsewhere on this page will show that the largest majorities were in the upper end of the county with Scotland Neck, the probable center of the opposition giving a good majority for the Bonds. The election Tuesday alio created new Highway Commission, consisting of Messrs. Jno, L Patterson, A. B. Schlichter, S. P. Johnson, J. K. Dickens and A Paul Kitchin. Said Commission will have the responsibility of the entire road system of the county, and will soon or ganize for this work. GETTING RID OF EASY MONEY One answer to the high coat of living problem is that people are holding their money too cheaply. Thousandj of American who never were more than a dozen pace from the breadline are today owners of Liberty Bonds or some other form of securities and they have never learned lessons the which Ben Franklin sought to teach a growing nation. Some of the people are spending their Liberty Bonds. Their saving in these securities represent money that came comparatively easy, that is to say, the holdings were accumulated in small weekly or mothly payments -money that waa hardly missed from the pay envelope. The people are spending as furiously aa they fought and worked in war times. They are on a spending "Jag", so to speak not only in this country were the f ruitsof victory to make spending a necessary part of the peace program, but in the rest of the world, not even omittingthecoun tries of the Entente. The money of the times is apparently very cheap, it seems to come easily and to go easily, but this condition can't last indefinitely. When spenders are free and easy, prices go up with equal ease Those who hold their "easy" money too cheaply make hard buying for those who must part sparingly with their limited funds and, by the same token, thoBe who demand luxuries without accounting the cost may expect to pay more for necessaries. The trouble is not so much the high cost of living but the cost of highliving. Some one remarked very sagely that if all the wealth of the rich were equally distributed among those who have little or nothing, the rich would soon have it back again and the other class would be in the same position as before the division was made. This is the natural consequence because the rich, or the great proportion pf that class, learned to annulate wealth by habits of saving and would no doubt recognize the necessity of saving more quickly than the class that had neve been accustomed to it Are We fUai'y Maatottt Wt Imtltut"! moult In oar pabtlt schools and display our Intartat la It ones a year at graduation oma.

ROOT KNOT DISEASE IS SPREADING Numerous complaints of damage to crops due to root knot are being received by the North Caro lina Experiment Station, accord ing to Dr. R, A, Jehle, extension Pathologist, the presence of the enlargements on the root system is indicative of this disease. The condition is caused by minute worms called nematodes, about a fiftieth of an inch long, whose presence in the root irritates the tissues, and in consequence, the rootenlarges, thustheinfested plants wiltreadilyin hot weather. and are usually a paler green than healthy ones. To successfully control root knot, those crops which are not subject to attack should be planted. These imune crops which include corn, Brabham and Iron cowpeas, rye, wheat, oats, velvet beans, peanuts, sorghum and red top, should be planted for a per iod of two or three years in bad ly infested fields, before culti vating to other common crops in which nematodes can live. Another method of control is to select a field containing heavy clay soils for planting, as the light, sandy soils are much more liable to become infested. Those who have the presence of this disease among their crops, and desire further information, may obtain same by writing Dr. R. A. Jehle, Plant Pathologist, Agricultural Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N. C. in the home of Dr. and Mrs. v. J. Frank West. Drs. T. W. M. Lone and F. G. Jarman are guests of Mr. W. L. Long on his yatch for a cruise in Chesapeake Bay. Mr. Job Taylor entertained a few friends at a dinner party last evening. Mr. Charles F.
