IV NO. 7 MAIN TO HAVE FARM DtMONSTRATOR Swain has decided join the Pro gressive Farmers Club and it is a step second only in progress to our decision to have better roads. At the meeting of the County Com missioners, Monday, a large petition, signed by nearly all the larger tax payers, was presented asking the board to employ a county-farm demonstrator. 1 he petition was presented by Mr. Coburn. Mr. Mack Jenkins and Mr. Charlie Browning. In urging the need of a .demon strator Mr. Coburn stated that only last year the demonstrator, in Gra ham County had saved in one in stance of treating black tongue among cattle more than it cost the county to employ him a year. It seemed that for several years large numbers of cattle in Graham had been dying from black tongue, but last year a demonstrator was em ployed and he knew about the dis ease and how to cure it. Mr. Jenkins; who is among the county's best farmers, was present and urged the employment of a demonstrator. He said that only last week the demonstrator in Jack son county had saved the farmers more than the county paid him -for a year's work in the purchase of a " car load of soy , beans. He succeed ed in getting Jthe beans in a car lot for $1.70 per busjiel arid beans are selling elsewhere from $2.50 to33.00. 1 As to fertilizer, Mr. Jenkins said the Jackson county ' farmers were getting their fertilizer for $2.00 a ton less than he could buy it whole Sale. Also that this, same demtn 8trator had saved a company of farmers $150 in the purchase of a jack. Mr. Browning thought the em ployment of a demonstrator was the best investment the county could make at this time. Chairman Francissaid the coun ty had $10,000 invested in a farm on Deep Creek and that it was not self-sustaining. He was of the opin ion that if we had a real good man the county farm could be so man aged as to be a producer instead of a consumer. Xfter going pretty thoroughly into the matter the Commissioners de cided to make an appropriation for the demonstrator, they understand ing that the State and Federal Government pay at least two-thirds of the cost. District Agent JamQS Gray was present and he assured the Com missioners he would send them a gwu inan ior me piace. prysuu City Times. : - 1- linn am nmm Vn mn IT ft DltN AiMU dUio Ur biLVA Come out- to the Audi toriun Fri diy niglit, May 16 at 8:30 and hear an explantion of the. principles and nn.. . f "vJ TT-!a pui puses oi me junior uruer umicu , American Mechanics, America's latest patriotic fraternity. : .

Discussim the Methodist centenary movement Treasurer D. W. Newsom, of Trinity f college, said: "When we awoke one morning from our long dream of a happy, prosperous and contented w o r i v family, to find that the world was going to destruction under the mad flame of war, and " that the proud and glorious civilization which we had built up through long ages was crumbling and failing before the wild roar of big guns, man lost faith in man and wondered if God had forgotten us. Daring those dark days God was giving to the church a vision, so that the people should not perish from the face of the earth. "Now that the shattered remnants of the earth are slowly -coming to gether, the church is proving faith ful to her vision through the great centenary movement, and is setting herself to the task of. bringing the vorid to its knees and to Gl. She must comfort and strengthen those who mourn at countless graves; she must build homes where broken hearts sit in desolation over hopeless ashes; she must take father ess children by the hand and lead them; she must take the truth 'to those who know not, and the light of the world to-thase who sit in darkness; he must go to her task with high hopes, triumphant spirit, and tae her seat at tha councils of nations o create in the world a clean heart and renew a right spirit within it, so that the newborn civilization shall know and reverence Goo that man shall recognize his kinship to his fellowman, and love and mercy and peace shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.".

I know it will be of interest to 'ou to know what is being done in lew York for the boys of NORTH a d SOUTH CAROLINA. Have you heard about the HALL F STATES? It is under the super ision of the Government, repre nted by the New. York War Camp lommunity Service. It is the argest institution ' of the kind in lew York. It really is a clearing nuse for every problem of the rc urned soldier. As briefly as possible, I will give ou- dh outline of what is being ione, but first I think I should tell ;ou thaf T am runniug the CARO .IN A desk mainly on my 'own WAR CAMP has given us a fhK Vid house, where forty-three States ire represented. We have an em ployment bureau where jobs are lined for men .from all over the country. To give you an idea 0: his activity. Thave only to tel you that three weeks we have se cured three thousand job's. IF YOU -I AVE AN OPENING FOR A CAR )LINA MAN, WILL YOU NO! VRITE ME HERE ABOUT IH Vounded SOUTHFRN cn, num aering several thousand.- have beei and are being brought to New YorV ity a large number being Caro inians. . We see to it that every man ir he hospital receives a welcoming sote the day after he arrives, an nvitation to call at the Hail o1 Scates, notice that if he is : confined o tiisJt03iitayw.; wiil;$lln'hin; i nd that we stand ready to help iiiii get well, go home and get e job. The effect of " these personal visits, the giving of informatidii de iired ou many subjects 'and. th furnishing of many little necessities and comforts have a remarkable effect ou the men and tend greatly :.o their rapid improvement and re covery, as shown in many cases. It is with great regret and humil iation that I have to report that so ar no Southern State has made an appropriation, probably because ; here. is a inistakeu belief that Southern men do not touch this port. WE SHOULD ALL COOPERATE AND PULL TOGETHER 70 CRE ATE AN EMERGENCY FUND TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS Or THESE MEN. Many of the: North ern Stales have created funds rang ing from five thousand to thirty rive thousand dollars. If every one in the CAROLINAS did their bit for their boys here in New York, think what it would mean! I realize you have had every call made upon you at home, but it is for the Carolina boys HERE that I ask your. co-operation and assistance. Any amount you may see fit to contribute Tor - the work we are doing will be greatly ' appre ciated. . . - Convinced that this will appeal not only to your state pride but your sympathy, and hoping to re ceive a prompt response, I beg to remain, Very sincerely y purs, HALL OF STATES, Elvira Buright, Representative for the Caroliuas.
