The ninth division of the National Guard, composed of troops from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennes see, will be mobilized at Greenville, S. C. Greenville is a city of about thirty thousand people, situated near the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and it is believed the location is very desira ble. WORLD TIDE RISING We are no longer living merely in a country. We are citizens of a world. Nations are living an inter dependent life. No man as well as any people, lives unto himself alone. The world has drawn together, into ! cue oreat neighborhood. We sell gar den truck over the back fence and gossip at the rear gate. It takes a little imagination to see it if but a few facts are grasped. International solidarity is no longer a fancy but a fact. A common world life is rapidly developing. We have reached a per iod when state or national movements cannot be executed without taking into account other nations and articu lating them with world conditions and r.rcress. Indeed, it is now true that the entire fabric of human life rami fies over the whoio world and may be followed as the forms of a garment. Diverse religion'; languages, govern ments, and interests of men are slow ly disappearing and assuming univer sal forms that will flourish among sail peoples. At the present time there are three great currents flowing around the world. First, a new moral force ex pressing itself in universal opposition to the liquor traffic is felt practically anion g all peoples. . Second, a new spiritual force expressing inself in Christian missions and the religious T-o.i - rvf hp Orient is the marvel of the age Third, a new political force expressing itself in the move toi ! ward democracy, is being welcomed as the mcx desirable result of the fear- lui pi'ici cf this world war. The sig- it;ce of this is found in the fact ruin1 j that democracy is the political expres sion of Christianity. Surely in this the Lord Christ moves forward to a (new day, fulfilling His word in mar- velou3 ways. Those ready to receive ill find a great joy. it oy raitri Western Christian Advocate.

NOTICE FIRST AID CLASS All members of the First Aid Class are requested to pay their Registra tion Fee of 50c. to Miss Lucy Jones by Thursday, July 19th. This is important as the Class Roll must be sent in He that does good to another, also elf: not only in the consequence, but in the very act of doing it, for the consciousness of wel- doing is an ample reward oeneca. WISE ITEMS Miss Evelyn Nicholson, of Frank linton, is visiting Mrs. Lucy Coleman, Mrs. Sallie Powell and other friends and relatives. Mr. Rodney Coleman, of Burlington, is visiting at his parental home for a few days. ; We regret to report that Mr. C. C. Perkinson and daughter, Miss Mamie, are both ill with typhoid fever. The canning demonstration given by Mrs. Connell at the schoolhouse on Friday, July 6th, was most interesting and helpful, and as a result much can ning is being done in the neighbor hood. Sunday, July 8th, was Children's Pay at Sharon church. The church was well filled with people who went away much pleased with the credita ble manner in which the children ac quitted themselves. In recognition of the effort made by the pupils of the Sunday School to do their best a few of the ladies treated them to ice cream ?nd cake at the home of Mrs. R. T. Perkinson on Wednesday July 11th. A most enjoyable afternoon was spent in playing outdoor games. On Sunday evening, July 8th, mem bers of group one of the B. Y. P. U. gave a short but interesting program. Mr. Johnson talked to the Union for a few moments about getting there on time, and said he wanted to see more enthusiasm put into the meet ings. At the preaching service which followed the Union meeting Miss Julia Weldon sang "Beyond the Gates of Paradise" in her usual acceptable man ner. Mrs. George Gray and daughter Mrs Will Gray spent a few days in Wise last week as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Michael. They are on their way to Ohio where they will make their home in the future. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Newman wel comed a baby girl to their home on July 12th. THE HOUR This is the world's stupendous hour The supreme moment for the race To see the emptiness of power, The wcrthlessness of wealth and place, To see the purpose and the. plan Conceived by God tor growing man. And they who see and comprehend That ultimate and lofty aim Will wait in patience for the end, Knowing injustice cannot claim One lasting victory, or control Laws that bar progress for the whole. This is an epoch-making time; God thunders through the universe A message glorious and sublime, At once a blessing and a curse Blessings for those who seek His light Curses for those whose law is might. Ephemral as the sunset glow Is human grandeur. Mortal life Was given that souls might seek and know Immortal truths; and through the strife That shakes the earth from land to land, wise shall hear and understand. Out of the awful holocaust, Out of the whirlwind and the flood, Out of old creeds to bedlam tossed Shall rise a new earth washed in blood A new race filled with spirit-power. This is the world's stupendous hour. By Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Como- politan Magazine. A traveling man who occupitd a train seat with a minister, wished to take him down a peg or two and so said: "Have you never heard that each time a priest is hanged in Paris an ass is hanged at the same time?" The clergyman blandly replied: "Well, let us both be thankful that we are not in Paris." " A small but very black negro was standing very erect at one side of the door of a house where a negro man had just died. The services were about to begin, when the negro clergy man appeared at the door and said to the little fellow: ".The services are about to begin. Aren't you coming inside ?" "I would if I could," said the small boy, "but you see, I'se de crape ASPEN ITEMS Mr. Howard Duke, of Creek, was here a short while last Wednesday. Mrs. P. S. Williams, of Airlie, who has been visiting her daughters here, Mrs. J. A. Pitchford and Mrs. F. H. Neal, left last Wednesday to visit her daughter Mrs. Howard Duke, . of Creek. . , Mr. Frank Newell, Jr., of Warren ton, was here on business last Wed nesday. Messrs. Van W. Hardy and Horace Neal, of this place, made a business trip to Warrenton last Thursday.- Mr. Joe King,- of Areola, was- here threshing wheat last Thursday. Mr. Joe Neal and Miss Carrie Pitch ford, of this place, made a flying trip to Littleton last Thursday. Master Hampton Riggan went to Vaughan on business last Thursday. A heavy wind, rain, and hail storm struck here last Tuesday night and did considerable damage to growing crops. Some of the farmers state that the damage to their cotton alone would amout to over a bale of cotton, hile all other crops were more or less damaged. Mr. J. O. Hardy, of Grove Hill, passed here Thursday of this week on his return home from Henderson, where he had taken his wife to the hospital for an operation for appen dicitis. He informs us that she went through safely, and was doing as well as could be expected under the con ditions. We hope she will have a speedy recovery. HOW MUCH OF A MAN ARE YOU? How much of a smile do you,, claim to smile When there's little to smile about? How grealis your courage to meet each trial With the fires of your hopes burn ed out? When you struggle in darkness a long, . long while With no lode-star to guide you thru Right then is the time that a smile's a smile; How much of a smile have you? Kcw much of a friend are you? be To the chap who is going down? When your body is strong and your arms are free Would ycur heart let you see him drown ? When human endurance has reached its end An lift- belts are faulty and few Right then is the time that. a friend's a friend How riiuch of af riend are you? How much of a heart do you claim to have? When you meet with a luckless soul Whose morals are starved for a heal ing salve To restore them to self-control? When slackened pride lets the foot steps part From tha trail that is tried and true Right then is the time that a heart's a, heart, How much of a heart have you? How much of a man do you claim yeu are? When there's gloom in the same humble cot? And it's left to your kindness to lift the bar, You can flood it with sunshine or not; Every life has some bridge with a weak iued span That's in i.eed of a brace cr two, Right then is the time that a man's a man How much of a man are you? W. G. Ebey, in Orphan's Friend. At a small stag dinner the only young and entirely unnoteworthy per son present sat throughout the meal communing with his own bashful soul afraid lest by speaking he betray his sophistication. Dessert being served, he felt he must have some of the candied fruit at the other end of the table. Clearing his voice he fixed the nearest waiter with a glittering eye and amid a sudden total silence per emptorily called out at the top of his voice: "Pigs, flees!" "They own a limousine." "That's nothing. I know people who eat potatoes twice every day.' triot Free Press. -De- RED CROSS WORK The Warrenton Chapter American Red Cross was organized on June 18th with a membership of over two hun dred.

JEALOUSY AND SLANDER Jealousy is the acknowledgment ox inferiority, the ungracious compli ment paid to excellence. Jealousy is a frenzy that cannot endure even in idea the good of others. The prosperity that surrounds oth ers pains jealous eyes even more than the meridian rays of the sun. The mention of a successful rival's name throws some folks into convul sions, and like the cuttle fish they emit their blck venom to darken the clear waters round their more pros perous neighbor. The poets imagined that envy dwelt in a dark cave, pale and lean, looking asquint, abounding with gall, her teeth black, never rejoicing but in the misfortune of others, ever unquiet and continually tormenting herself. Dcn't groan when otherg shout. Dcn't grow uncomfortable as others grow happy. Instead of fretting that others are referred before you in honor or es, i;ste in gift or usefulness, bless God for their influence. What if others are more popular than you are? What if others are wiser? Be thankful that there is one star in the firmament above yourself. What if others have the praise of men, while you have the bitter root to chew? Praise God that there is some body not troubled as you are. As birds peck most at the best fruit, so the worthiest persons are often most slandered. Slander would starve and die if no body took it in and gave it lodging. There are so many open mouths be cause there are so many open ears. If you listen to a story, false or true, you are equally guilty with the one who tells it and as an old writer says, "you ought both to be hung, the one by the jaw and the other by the tongue." The Orphans Friend. STILL TIME TO PLANT Washington Garden space no lon ger occupied by early maturing crops should be utilized, says the United States Department of Agriculture by the planting of sweet potatoes, late Irish potatoes, celery, late cabbage, snap beans, beets or carrots. By planting these crops the home gard ener should produce food products which may be stored for winter use. There is still time for any of these crops to mature. They should, how ever, be planted promptly. At this season many gardeners are inclined to allow the weeds to get a start in the garden. The crops need an abundance of moisture and the weeds should not be allowed to rob them. Where it is possible to prac tice irrigation either by running wa ter in trenches, with a hose, or by a sprinkler system, the crops may be carried through drought without loss. The water should be applied in the evening so that it will soak in before the sun rises. Cultivation should fol low the watering in about 24 hours so that the soil will not bake. It is an excellent plan to water egg plants, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, celery, and other crops need ing highly fertilized soil, with manure water. Have a barrel covered with a fly screen in which to prepare and store the manure water. An occasion al application of the manure water will hasten and increase the growth of the plants. The following cultural suggestions are made for the crops which may yet be planted with fair chances of suc cess throughout most of this region. Beans Plant in rows 2 1-2 feet a- part for either horse or hand cultiva tion, and 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. A pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred foot row. Sweet potatoes Set the plants in ridges 3 to 4 feet apart. Space the 'plants 14 to 18 inches apart. About 75 plants will be required for a hun-dred-fcot row. Beets Sow. in rows 15 to 18 inches apart for hand cultivation or 2 to 2 1-2 feet apart for horse cultivation. The plants should be thinned to 4 to 5 inches apart in the rows. Cabbage Set . the plants in rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 14 to 18 inches apart in the rows. Sixty-five to nine ty plants are required for a hundred foot row. Carrots Sow the ,seed in rows 15 to 18 inches apart for hand cultiva tion or 2 to 2 1-2 feetr apart for horse cultivation. The plants should be thin ned to 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. One ounce of seed is sufficien for a hundred-foot row. Celery Set plants 6 inches apart in rows 3 feet or more apart. Potatoes Plant pieces containing 2 eyes or more 12 to 14 inches apart in rows 2 1-2 to 3 feet apart and cover to a depth of about 4 inches.- In hot weather cover to a depth of six inches. DIDN'T THINK CORK LEG WOULD KEEP HIM FROM ENLIST ING. John Franklin walks over fifty miles to join U. S. Marines. Rejected on Account of Cork Leg. Muskogee, Okla., July Believing that the use of a cork leg should not prevent him from serving his coun try, John Franklin walked over fifty miles from a farm near Wilburton, to this city to apply for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps. Franklin, had spent two months ploughing the fields previous to his long walk, and supported himself on the hike by working at odd jobs along the way. He surprised the Marine Corps medical examiner by walking without the slightest sign of lame ness. Although Franklin expreseed the opinion that his cork leg should be considered a handy life-preserver in case of submarine attack, he was not accepted. JOIN THE RED CROSS TODAY Every man, woman and child is urg ed to join the American Red Cross either at Warrenton, Norlina, or Ridge way. Vaughan is planning for an organ ization and it is hoped that other com munities in the County will follow. For information address Miss Laura Burwell, secretary Warrenton Chapter.
