It will also prove of value in giving an opportunity for the ladies of the town and county, who are bringing things to pass, to meet and get better acquainted socially. These workers are accomplishing much in every locality where there is a live organization, the object being to beautify and render more sanitary and healthful the homes and public buildings, as well as to improve con ditions morally, socially and mate rially. In the brighter day for our county, to which we are all looking and work ing, the farseeing and self-sacrificing women of the Betterment Associa tions will play an important and vital part. In their noble work they need, and no doubt will receive, encourage ment from every quarter.

This is good news to the farmers, as it hits been repeatedly demon strated that wheat cannot be suc cessfully grow i without fertilizer. It means the saving fo thousands of dollars to the farmers of Caldwell county and will encourage them, no doubt, to put in a greater crop this fall. A SUGGESTION The teachers of Caldwell county will atte-.d ,in institute in Lenoir, be ginning . I iily 1 1 and continuing for four weeks. In some towns this summer we note that the town peopel have open ed their homes to the teachers, charging a minimum rate for board. It occurs to us that many people in in hich small groups ot seltisn men could use trie peoples of great empires to serve their ambition for power and domin ion. It associates the free govern ments of the world by a permanent league in which they are pledged to use their united power to maintain peace by maintaining right and jus tice.

NEW POSTAL RATES WENT INTO EFFECT TUESDAY You are now able to mail a letter for two cents and send a friend a postcard for one cent. The new pos tal rates went into effect Tuesday, July 1. The postoffice department has made arrangements to redeem all un used two-cent postal cards and three cent stamped envelopes at their full value for a period of 30 days, after which time they will only be redeem ed at the stamp value. This applies to both printed and unprinted cards and envelopes when presented for redemption by the original purchas ers. There will be no cash redemp- A burglar never bothers about tion.

Some members of Congress and others who are watching the Irish question were particularly attracted to that portion of the President's ad dress in which he referred to "peo ples who are ready for independence but not yet quite prepared to dis pense with protection and guidance" and that the treaty "recognizes the inalienable rights of nationality." No one in Washington ventured to interpret what was in the President's mind when he wrote those para graphs, but they were scanned with much interest. Although there was considerable comment on the President's address in private talk among Senators, few made any expressions for publication. same two cents, while the rate on second class matter will be ad voiced At the present rate of homeward movement the American army of oc- three-fourths of a cent.

Come in at once and take on some of the July Series We are prepared to lend money any day on approved real estate security, thereby enabling you to BUY OR BUILD WOUR OWN HOME and have over six years to pay for it in easy installments See the Secretary at once Respectfully, W. L. Minish, Secretary U m Every working day of the year 75,000,000 pounds of meat are required to supply home and export needs and only 10 per cent of this is exported. These facts must be kept in mind when considering the U. S. Bureau of Markets report that on June 1, 1919, there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of meats in cold storage. If the meat in storage was placed on the market it would only be 20 days' supply. This meat is not artificially withheld from trade channels to maintain or advance prices. Meats in storage consist of 65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, etc., in process of curing. It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the process. 10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured later in the year. 6 per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths of a pound per capita, and much of it will have to go to supply European needs. 19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of which is owned by the Government and was intended chiefly for over-Sf-as ship ment. If this were all divrted to domes tic trade channels, it would be only 1 2 lbs. per capita a 3 days' supply. 100 ye From this it will be seen that "meats in storage" represent merely un finished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finished product.

GERMANS DISPLEASED OVER THE CEREMONY When the German delegation saw the program for the signnig cere mony Herr von Haimhausen told Col. Henry, liaison officer, that the Ger mans would not consent to entering by a diffeernt door from the allied delegates, nor that military honors be withheld from them. "Had we known there would be such arrangements," eh said, "the delegates would not have come." Every woman should have at least the training in business that the handling of a bank account gives.
