What promises to be one of the most attractive entertain ments ever pulled off in our com munity will be staged at the ball park in Rosemary Saturday afternoon September 20th at 3:30. What is it do you ask? Why, it's a base ball game be tween the possesora of surplus avoidupois and those like unto Pharrohs "lean kind", or as we say in ordinary parlance between the "Fats" and the "Leans". Only Conspicuous examples of the above will figure and posi tively without fear of contra diction - we say this is to be the most interesting playing with the pill ever shown on the local field.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ! j OPENED MONDAY i j0w ag, Evn4 the Tint Week 100 Hon Exswctt Witkia Next Week - OU MetU&t Ckarci to W Uses' itr Cksi Rooas. ANOTKIR TEACHER FOR MART SCHOOL ROSE- The Public Schools opened Monday morning with the lar gest attendance in the history of the towns. The attendance at the Central School has overtaxed the capacity of the building, and ar rangements are being made for placing the two divisions of the third grade, under the super vision of Misses Kirby and Wooten. in the old Methodist Church building on Jackson Street At the Rosemary building there are so nmy children in the first grade that the Board has authorized Superintendent Col- trane to secure another teach er. for that grade. The High School is unusually large. Against a total enroll ment in that department last year of only 57 there is an en rollment now of about 90 pupils The total enrollment in all de partments, exclusive of the colored school, is now about 900, It is expected that this enroll ment will be increased to 1000 next week. There seems to be some con fusion among some of the par ents in regard to the school laws. All children under the age of fourteen are required to attend the full session instead of six months. NOW IS THE TIME TO SELECT SEED By better methods of farming, such as preparing the soil, fer tilizing the crop, and using good rotations, in which leguminous crops like cowpeas and soybeans are planted, farmers of North Carolina have been able to greatly build up the yield per acre of their different crops. According to the experts of the Agricultural Ex tension Service, this is particu larly true in corn. There is one thing, however, that the North Carolina farmer generally overlooks. This is the importance of seed selection. It has been demonstrated time and time again that corn will yield from one to two and more bushels per acre from seed which have been selected in the field the pre vious fall, and tested for germina tion during the winter. The same is true of cotton. With the great acreage devoted to corn in North Carolina, amount ing to 1,606,450 acres in 1918, with an average yield per acre of 20.5 bushels the addition of one or two bushels better yield on every acre would amount to a considerable total in the food producing power of the State. The addition )f this extra one o two bushels per acre would als mean that the State could grow more livestock than in the past which would make farming much more profitable than it is now. This would mean, also, that the fertility of worn out soils could be partially restored, and year round employment given to farm labor. The result therefore, parti cularly in the selection of good seed corn, means a much more remunerative farm. It means an improvement in the quality of the farm, because corn is the one crop which can be adapted to a large acreage successfully. Through its use as a feed crop for livestock, corn is one of the leading crops in making farming on high priced land profitable. The time devoted by the far mer to adapting a good variety of corn to his local environ ments by careful and proper seed selection is almost sure to result in larger yields and greater pro fits. This is easy for the grower who understands the habits of the plant because he can work wonders in developing a good variety suited to his conditions. DAVID UPSCOMBE COMMITS SUICIDE SW Hiawtt Tkresfk Roei ei M tk WItk A ABlOMaUC aWit 7 30. TVis MtrstBf RECEIVED DISCHARGE FROM ARMY MONDAY David Lipscombe, committed suicide this morning about 7:30 o'clock in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Lipscombe.

Mr. Lipscombe slept in a room with a brother lust night and early this morning went to an adjoining room toeommit the act No one in the house heard the shot, which failed to awake his brother who was asleep in the adjoining room.

The deceased is survived by his mother, father, five brothers and four sisters. At this writing the funeral arrangements have not been announced. COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE The Community Improvement League of Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary held its seventh regu lar meeting in the Central School building on the afternoon of September 8.

Has Not Won The War The next two months will give the answer as to whether America won a victory in the war or suffered a collosal defeat, said William Mather Lewis, Dir ector of the Savings Division of tho Treasury Department, in a message addressed to the six mil lion members of the War Savings Societies throughout the United States today. The war cost many thousands of priceless American lives and billions of hard earned dollars. This treasure was spent in vain if the lessons taught by the war are not put into practice in the United States. America fin- anced her mighty war machine and fed thestarving Allies through the thrifty practices which our formerly spend-thrift people suddenly developed. Thrift will win the victory in the trying period of reconstruction. "But thrift is not evident at this time, when, as President Wilson says, we are facing tasks more difficult more complex; less easily understood, than those of war. One of the greatest of re construction tasks is to reduce the cost of living. This menace will not tie conquered by boosting the wages of labor. It will be handled by allowing production to catch upwith consumption and this can only be done by careful spending and elimination of wastefulness. The Federal Trade Commission has begun an investigation of companies premoting wild cat oil stocks. Such concerns flourish only when there is easy money, when the people through extra vagance develop the get-rich quick germ. The Saving Division of the Treasury Department is re ceiving reports from the field indicating that pawn shops, stock promoting concerns and a certain types of merchandizing houses are reaping a rich hatvest through the fact that owners of Liberty Bonds are willing to sacrifice these securities at prices far below the market in order to satisfy the desire for luxuries or to secure stock on which they are promised an impossibly high rate of interest If the people are not willing to protect their personal prosperity and the welfare of their Govern- ment at this critical time by practicing wise economy, by j holding on to their Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, and by I waging an unceasing fight L BIGGEST EVER The Eleventh Series of i Roanoke Rapids Building the and Loan Association which will close in a few days has already exceeded any previous issue.
