JL is probable even that the ladies of Warren may express a pref erence for county officers for the com ing two years. ' It is doubtful if a majority of the ttonu n of Warren wanted the ballot, but as the right of expression is granted, it is not doubtful that many many ladies will march to the ballot boX to east their vote. It is entirely proper that they ex press this choice. Voting is a mater of intelligent selection. The ladies of this county can help make' this selec tion and make it for the best interest of all. Every state and condition of man has ever been improved upon the ap pearance of woman. So will it be in polities. Warden county has oversubscribed its Armenian quota.

The Argonaut, Poor Economy To Purchase Food and Feed Crops With Cot ton and Tobacco Money PRODUCE SUPPLIES AT HOME FIRST PURPOSE Endorses . Article Upon Potato Treatment and Gives Needed Information Upon Subject of Gardening. Warrenton, March 17. The war is over now, but we should not discon tinue our efforts to produce an abund ance of food supplies. The world must be fed in times of peace as well as in times of war. We will continue to ship large quantities of our home grown focd supplies to foreign mar kets. For this reason prices of food supplies will remain high. It will be advisable for us to feed ourselves so that we will not find it necessary to pay the high prices that food products , , . - , . . - other counties are certain to bring. Let us have "Live at Home"- for our slogan and then live up to it. Gardening First we should consider our gard ens. People of both town and country can have their home gardens. Those who have not yet started their spring gardens should do so at once. The first thing to do in connection with this is to break the ground and pre- ! pare a thorough seed bed. Large quantities of well rotted stable ma nure should be turned in the soil. The harrow should be used freely in order to thoroughly pulverize the ground. It is not advisable to plant seeds in a poorly prepared seed beu. This holds true with all kinds of seeab, but with garden seeds it is of even more importance than with corn and other field crops. - There are several crops that may be started now. Successive plantings of -gardeii- pe$s -j&houldb onions and Ii'ish potatoes have not yet been planted, they should be started as soon as possible. Onions "are shal low feeders, but they demand a very rich sandy loam surface soil for good results. This soil should be highly fertilized. Planting of early corn and bush wax beans may be made now with little danger of killing by frost. Those who are planning to plant po tatoes shold read Dr. Jehle's article on the treatment of seed potatoes to prevent certain diseases. Forage Crops for Livestock The "Live at Home" idea should ap nlv to live stock as well as to people. txxr ,v,-u o.w an flVmndfinnp- nf hav. CQrn and other forage crops so as to . nrainRt buvin hav or crrain next winter. Let us first plan to grow all the feed crops we need and then devote the remainder of our land and time to the growth of the so called "cash" crops of cotton and tobacco. Prices of cotton and tobacco will prob ably be lower this year and for this reason we should not plan to buy high priced corn and hay with low priced cotton and tobacco. Let us begin planning now to grow ( more winter crops as clovers and I small, grains. These crops will not t Qnly help solve the feed problem but wiH also prove beneficial to the lana. J. E.

Formaldehyde Treatment The potatoes may be treated in for maldehyde instead of corrosive subli mate. This treatment is much cheap er, but is not so generally effective. The strength to use is 1 pint of for maldehyde to 30gallons water. This solution does not lose strength and can be used until exhausted. It does not corrode metals and is not a deadly poison. Potatoes treated in it may be baked or boiled and eaten with perfect safety. Irish potatoes should be soaked one half hour in this solution, and sweet potatoes fiVe minutes.

He left his brother Harvey in the telephone office with William and Boyd- Burchette. When he ap proached the front door he heard some one within. Bawsel unlocked the door, took his thirty-two in his right hand, his flash light in his left and entered. A shot was fired by the would be robber and J tKe . fiashlight dropped from his powder-burned hand.

The pal made a break for the rear of the store carrying the cash box when a well timed blow from the butt of Brawsel's gun sent the coins jinggling. He then made his way to the tele phone where he sent the message "come down here quick" before he was strangled and knocked unconscious. The two Burchette boys and Harvey Bawsel came immediately from the . central office to the store where they found James Bawsel lying unconscious with the telephone in one hand and the revolver in the other. Drs. Mor ton and Packard were immediately se cured and pronounced no serious re sults from the rough treatment he had received. The officers at Norlina, soon joined by Mr. E. L. Green of this city, order ed the Nichols' bloodhounds from Ral eigh and at three o. 'clock the dogs picked- up the trail and led it to the home of Eli Froney, a porter who has seen years of service at the Norlina hotel and who was tried two years ago f th ft f articies from that place j Froney was arrested and bound over to Recor(er's court. His accomplice has nQt been located. The robbers were familiar with the j store for jn the short space of half an hour between closing time and the ap pearance of Bawsel a box had been packed with supplies and the raid evi dently was near completion when the gun play commneced. Entrance was gained thru the flocr of a closet adjoining the prescriptitn department of the store. Praise is in evidence on all hamis for the courage, bravery and grit rf Bawsel in completely thwarting the attempt of the burgulars.
