District Meet-ing of the at Ox- * FAkM NOTES- . BY MURRY G. JAMES Farm Demonstrator I have been requested to write an article in regard to spraying irish potatoes for ineects. The usual potato bugs are chew ing insects, and may be controlled easiest by. means of a stomach poi son. Those most commonly used are * Paris Green, Lead Arsenate, Copper Sulphate and lime, or what is called Bordeaux mixture, or some combina tion of these poisons. They may be prepared at home and when one is igrowipf potatoes for market or. on a rather extensive scale, should be done, as it is much cheaper. However, direction? for home mixing would take up too much space to'include in this article, but I, shall be glad to mail them to any one who makes the request, or make a visit to their farm giving personal instructions. For the small patch of potatoes u- sually grown for home use, and where only a small quantity of poison is '•needed, it is much less trouble and usually cheaper in the long run to buy ready made preparations. One of the best known at present, is PYROX, a liquid preparation manufactured by Bowker Insecticede Co, of Baltimore, Md. and containing combinations of arsenic and copper. Ready-made Bordeaux mixture may also be bought and by adding a small * amount of Arsenate of lead, it is made a very efficient material. There are many other insecticedes, but these are among the best and may generally be easily secured. Instructions are furnished with each package. How ever, the main thing is to thoroughly cover the surface of each plant as of often as may be necessary with .the spray material, which may be .applied with a small hand, spray costing usu- tion of Colton—Zeno Mooi-e, ally only a few cents. ^ _ Adjourn for Dinner 2:00 P.

Woody of the town and County are interested to learn of his approaching marriage on June 21st, to Miss Lave- lette Tinsley, of Danville, "Va. Miss Tinsley is a very popular young lady of Danville, while Mr. Woody is a highly respected and very successful young business man, being at pres ent special agent for North and South Carolina for one of the large North ern Insurance Companies with head quarters at Raleigh, N. C. Mr. Woody was raised at Bethel Hill in this County and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Woody. City Market Moved. I beg to advise my friends that I have moved my meat market from Court Street to South Main Street, next to Winstead Warehouse. In the future the business will be known as the City Market, Clay & Oliver, proprietors. I am thankful to the good people of Roxboro for the trade they have so generously gvien me and can promise if they will continue with the new firm that we will serihe them even better in the future. We will also carry a line of staple gro ceries, which we can sell at right prices. Remember • the place, next T. .S. Clay. have ventured to dream since the Wright brothers first rose from the earth in a heavier than air machine, was realized this morning, when two i young British officers, Captain John Alcock, and Lieutenant Arthur W. Brown, landed on the Irish coast af ter the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic ocean. Their voyage was without accident and without unforeseen incident, so far as can be learned. It was a straight ! -away clean-cut flight achieved in 16 hours and 12 minutes—from New Foundland to .Clifden, Ireland, a dis tance of more than 1,900 miles. But the brief and modest dessrip- tion which comes from the airmen at Clifden tell of an adventurous and amazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog and mists hung over the north Atlan tic, and the Vickers-'Vimy biplane climbed and dove, struggling to ex tricate herself from the folds of the airplane’s worst enemy. She rose to 11,000 feet, swooped down almost to the surface of the sea, and at times the two navigators found themselves flying upside down j only ten feet above the watei*. Dr. H. W.

Such local dealer shall be allowed to charge the farmers a reasonable profit in excess of the price paid the State, such profit to be agreed upon by the dealer and the county agent, who will know, at all times, just what limestone costs the local dealer in cariots laid down at his station. The demonstration agents are re- •quested, however, to urge all farm ers who want a 30 ton minimum car to order it direct from the Depart ment in order to save the middleman’s profit.

The demonstration of 'che DeH’ioit • Vapor Oil Stove held last week at the' store of Mess. T. V.’. Pass & Son -was ^ a great success. The Detroit Vapor,; as its name implies, heats from the ■ vapor of kerosene oil and uses no : wick, or substitute for wick such as j asbestos etc. It is the cheapest stove j made as to cost of fuel, being much cheaper than electricity, gasoline or I wood—in fact it is cheaper in fuel | than wood, even if jmu have your own wood and charge the regular rate of! wages paid to labor today for cut-; ting the wood. ' The' factory representative -^vas here for the day, and when he made ' some statements, for instance that | he 'would bake a pan of biscuits in; ten minutes there were plenty of. these present who disputed the state ment with him, but he said as they were from Missouri just wait and he would show them—and he did.. The dough was prepared and the pan of biscuits placed in the oven of the stove and several gentlemen present were asked to time them, and in just 7 and one half minutes he took them out of the stove baked as nice and brown as you ever saw. And they were not burned at the bottom as so'me predicted, but- were the same nice brown on top as on the bottom. It is a wonderful stove! Just think of going into your kitchen in the morning and in less than 20 minutes from the time you enter have a breakfast of ham, eg.gs, coffee of the finest aroma, and nice brown biscuits all ready and on the table. Yes, you can, this is no fairy tale, but solid sufstantial facts, and you can do it as well as any one. No more waiting for the fire to get started, or want ing to say ugly words because the wood will not burn—no, see T. W. Pass & Son and let them show you how to be rid of all this. Better call early for every one who sees this stove wants one. Plain Talk to Mr. Bolshy. By Dr. Frank Crane in the New York Globe.) Just a little plain talk with you, Mr. Bolshy, if you please. You have been complaining about everything and everybody till it has got on my nerves. You objected to the war, you objected to Baker, you objected to Daniels, you objected to Wilson goirfg abroad and to what he did when he came home, you found fault with everybody that has done anything recently. America also seems to you a bum country, and the only true democracy is in Russia. You don’t like the League of Na tions nor the Victory Loan, Govern ment control of railways, telegraphs and express companies is the bright particular target for your sneers. And so on. Now listen! We don’t have an ideal government fin this U. S. A. We don’t claim to have one. And the reason is that we don’t want one. But we’ve the kind of government the people voted for. ’Please get that We don’t know everything, we have not, arrived at perfection, and our government is like us— just muddling along doing the best it can under the circumstances. That, my friend, is Democracy— doing the task in hand as best we can, meeting crises not with excel lent theories but with practical in telligence. You rail at the government be cause it has not made any money running the railroads. It did not take over the railroads to earn money, but to win the war. It had a certain, definite purpose, to transport men and supplies need ed to lick Germany, regardless of ex pense. The U. S. A. has been doing ev erything “regardless of expense” since it jumped into the 'war. And that is why we wen. We were the na- lTSti that did not ha.ve to ^ ‘J^t the cost. We were ready to last man and our last dolll . and do it quick. Yob complain of taxes and 'ex penses now. Just think back a few years! Would you not then have mortgaged your farm and pawned your watch to fend off a German vic tory ? You are getting out of it pretty cheap, frienef Bolshy. You are Sitting in peace under your own vine and fig tree and the Kaiser’s lieutenants are not bossing you. The power of the Hun is broken and the world breathes fi’ee. Isn’t it worth the price ? And' as regards "Wilson, Daniels, Baker and company, I suppose they have made mistakes and have their limitations, but I call your attention to just one fact. They put it over! W’ith Daniels in the navy and Bak er in the army, managing things, this country did the most magnificent piece cf business ever seen. We got two million, men across 3,000. miles of ocea'n almost over night, wallop ed the enemy, and are bringing them back. Of course the secretaries of the army and navy and the President may have been all wrong, small men, incompetent, and all that, and a lot of fellows, including you, could have done it better, but they did it. Furthermore if you don’t like this country, its laws, its officials and its ways, you can pick* out the country in Europe that suits you, and go there. You have my permission. •Don’t hurry. Here’s your hat. Just pull the door to after you. SCHOOL NOTES Farms for Sale. Fine tobacco lands for sale in Brunswick County, Va., good roads and water, plenty of wood. I have 3 nice farms I will sell, one 117, one 257 and one 380 acres. If you want to buy write me what you want. Will sell for .cash or terms. J. A. Kersey, 6 18, 2ts. Lawrenceville, Va. Motored to Petersburg. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Brooks, Mrs. H. E. Walker and Mr. Carlyle Brooks motored to Petersburg last week where they spent several days with friends. On their return they were accompanied by Miss Louise-Brooks. Base-Ball. There will be a Base-Ball game Saturday June 21st, between the Old Roxboro Team and the present 1919 team. The old team had quite a repu tation from _ 1908 to 1912, and the new team is trying to do the same. The line-up will be picked from the following men: Old Team: E. E. Bradsher, B. G. Clayton, H. G. Clayton Jr., B. B. Newell, R. H. Oakley, Sid Whitt, Geo. Cunningham, J. A. Long, M. R. Long, W. A. Bradsher, Willie Nichols and R. L. Harris. •New Team: B. H. Clayton, Wm. Bradsher, Ed King, R. F. Brooks, E. B. Clayton, D. E. Dickerson, G. W. Thomas Jr., W. H. Harris Jr., C. A. Harris, S. A. Jones, H. W. Newell, John Morris and J. M. Cheek. Game called 4:00 P. M. Admission 25c, Ladies Free. The winning team will pay $2.0Q to any player who knocks a ball over the fence. John Morris, a student at U. N. C. is at home for the summer vacation. Miss Effie Baynes, principal of Bu shy Fork High School is one of the teachers in the joint summer school wl}ich opened last Monday at Trinity College. She teaches arithmetic and N. C. History. It was a pleasure to the Superintendent to select her for this work, as he felt sure she would do it well. All teachers who hold second grade certificate will make a big mistake if they fail to attend this school, so much special work will be done in the school to help them stand the exam ination in July. Monday was the opening day of the County Summer school at Trinity Colloge. It was my pleasure to be there. They seem to start off well.'Of course, it always takes some time to organize and arrange classes and get things in good runnig shape. Some of Person County teachers were on hand ready for business. I wish very much that others would go without delay. Fine opportunities are given to all who go. The colored Summer School in Dur ham is in session at The National Training School. They opened this school a week ago and have the work, in good shape. As yet only eleven of the colored teachers of Person have entered. Let me urge others to go at once. On the first Monday in July new committeemen are to be appointed in many districts. I am glad to see that the people of many districts are be coming more interested in the kind cf committeemen they have to con duct their schools. Requests are com ing in often asking for the appoint ment of certain persons because of their active interest in their school. One peculiar request came in the oth er day asking for the removal of a committeeman because he did not furnish a stick of wood for the school the whole session. The argument made that no man is suitable for such an,’important position -/vho does not htve enough interest in his school to cause him to help provide the wood for the comfort of the stu dents. The people of every school dis trict in our county are requested to recommend to the Board, three per sons, either men or women, who are deeply interested in their school and the education of their people and will stand by their school and who will are that the needs of the school are promptly met. It would be well to have a meet ing of the citizens at each school house to discuss this important mat ter and' let the selection be made in this meeting. Of course, the committemen who are doing things, I mean those who are on their job, trying to build up their school will be needed next year. But is the duty of the people of each school to ask for the removal of any committeman who fails to help and does not get others to help furnish the wood, and who takes little or no interest in building up his school. A good committee for every school next year. J. A. Beam. Protracted Services at the Baptist Church. Dr. J. Clyde Turner of Greensboro has been preaching twice daily at the Baptist Church since last Thursday night. He has been greeted by large congregation at every service and we do not think we would damage the reputation of any one to say that more powerful Gospel sermons have never been heard in this town. He is truly a great preacher and our people are enjoying him at every service. If you have not been attending these' meetings you have been miss ing a spiritual treat, for beside the splendid preaching there is a choir of more than fifty voices under the leadership of Prof. Fontaine, and the music is of an exceptionally high or der. You are cordially invited to all of these services. Come, and bring a friend with you. Notice. I take pleasure in announcing that I will be with the Winstead Ware house the-coming season, and will be glad to see my friends there with their first load. I feel sure with the high prices and efficient service that will be yours, we will merit your pa tronage throughout the season. Your friend, H. D.. Long. Itpd. Mrs. W. C. Watkins spent last Sat urday in Durham.
