We are glad to hear that Prof. H.
B. Marrow has succeeded in obtain
ing one Lyceum engagement for
Smithfield this spring. William Jen
nings Bryan and the Berkeley Sex
tette who are to fill this engagement,
are coming sometime in April. The
date is to be announced later. The
Berkeley Sextette, in connection with
its engaprt ments at Salem College,
Winston-Salem, the State Normal at
Greensboro, and A. and E. at Ral
eigh, is to be in Smithfield the first
part of April. They are a well known
sextette and arc probably the most
advanced type of Entertainment Or
chestra in the field today. They
make classical music interesting and
Kive popular music a new charm. Or
chestra numbers, readings, songs, in
strumental solos, and costumed selec
tions make up this thoroughly pleas
ing program. The costumes are
numerous and costly and the company
is distinctive and different.
Williams Jennings Bryan, in con
nection with his lecture ut Fayette
ville, will be here for an afternoon
in the latter part of April. It was
impossible for Mr. Marrow to get a
night engagement, owing to Mr.
Bryan's busy life, but we will be glad
to hear him any time. Mr. Bryan
ne<?ds no introduction to the public
as he is one of the best known Amer
icans of his day. The subject that he
is discussing this season" is "The
War Situation and the Problems to be
Wrought out in the Coming World
Peace."
We hope that the people of Smith
field will come and enjoy these enter
tainments and clear the way for fu
ture Lyceum Entertainments. I). B.

seem to be pleased. We want all the
people of the town to come to the
play. M. L. A.

On Tuesday night, March 5th,
Sergeant John D. Beveridge of the
Canadian "Fighting Sixtieth" spoke
at the court house to a very large au
dience. ?His speech was especially en
joyed by all the high school boys and
girls and we hope he will come again.

We were glad to get a letter from
one. of our old school mates, Dixon
Hood and to know that he is still
thinking; of us here. We are always
glad to get letters from the former
pupils of old T. G. S. We hope that
he will write to us again.
The following letter shows how
much he appreciated his teachers and
enjoyed his school days here. It
also shows that he is interested in
athletics. This is important because
it is an essential to good health. The
other members of the tract team
which he mentions are Dixon Wallace,
George Sanders and Robert Oliver.

Dear Boys and Girls of the T. G. S.
High School: ?
"The Smith field Herald makes me
want to be back again with you all.
It m:ikcs me feel proud of "Old T. G.
S.," to see the progress that she is
making. It makes me want to be
back in the old senior room where I
spent my last days at school.
"I can see before mc as if yester
day the boys and girls in the senior
room, and Mr. G. T. Whitley, our
faithful mathematics teacher, trying
to explain a problem in Algebra to
some fellow with a thick skull.
"A^ain I think of our "Track T'.'am'
that always won; but the boys that
were in the track team are all scat
tered now, no two in the same place.
One in Richmond, Va., one in old T. (J.
S., one a nephew of Uncle Sam; and
another trying to sell a bottle of pat
ent medicine to some fellow that don't
need it.
"I believe the greatest record that
T. G. S. has ever made; and the
greatest hoi*ur is that she .furnish, d a
larger percent of nephews for Uncle
Sam than any High School in North
Carolina.
"iMay the school continue to mova
upward and onward, and may she
send out boys and girls with knowl
edge sufficient to take their places in
the world as she has always done.
"Your old schoolmate,
"DIXON B. HOOD."

KICIfARI) IWT WIGGS.
Private Richard Pat Wipprs, of Pine
Level, N. C., entered the military ser
vice of Uncle Sam in 191(5, in Company
C, 2nd North Carolina Regiment Na
tional Guard (now the 119th Infantry)
und went to the Mexican Border where
he spent several months. He is now
at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C. He
is a son of Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Wiggs.
JOHNNIE I\ WIGGS.
Private Johnnie P. Wiggs, of Boon
Hill township, is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Wiggs. He it 25 years of
age and entered the military service
of the United States last September.
He was first sent to Camp Jackson,
Columbia, S. C. He \\Tas later trans
ferred to Camp Sevier where he is
a member of Company E, 105th En
gineers.
The Labor Problem.
Wherever we go we find people
talking about the scarcity of labor.
Naturally people will talk about nny
i;utstion that is pressing upon th?m
at that time. But our farmers had
as well make up their minds to the
fact that the labor shortage is going
to be felt more and more as the war
goes on. What we wish to call our
readers attention to is this, each in
dividual farmer can materially assist
the solution of "this labor problem,"
as they termit, in four ways:
1. By sowing down more land tc
grain and putting more to pasture.
2. By using improved farm tools.
3. By utilizing the boys, the older
men and the women to the best ad
vantage.
4. By working one's self. We
must not be bosses alone, but put our
hand to the wheel and do all we can.
One thing is greatly in our favor
along this line, there never was a
time when we can secure such returns
from our own labor. There are thous
ands who would like to make money
farming, now, if they could secure one
to do the work. This serious time in
our national history calls for every
individual to get to work and do his
best. The conditions now will test
your resourcefulness. They will call
out what of management there is in
you. ? Southern Cultivator.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale's advice
to the young people of his time was,
"Every day try to meet someone
wiser and better than yourself."
"Some young people of our day,"
comments an exchange, "seem to
think that this would be an impossi
ble task." ? Onward.
High Titles.
In the opinion of Gladstone the
three highest titles that can be given
to man are "Martyr," "Hero," and
"Saint." ? Kind Words.
Elizabeth Chapin, Lyndon Jordan,
George Ragsdale, Roberta Turner.
Tenth Grade ? John Grimes, Cherrv
Gurley, Thelma Peedin.
Eleventh Grade ? Margaret Pou,
Ruth Cotton, Elizabeth Cotter, SadU
Puckett,? I. E. P.
A PATRIOTIC CALL TO THE
YOUNG BOYS OF AMERICA.
(Contributed.)
The year of 1918 is one in which
every person in America is called
upon to do his or her part to win the
great war which is now raging in
Europe. The winning of this war is
the thing of greatest importance to
the civilized world. There are a great
many things devised, whereby every
person has an opportunity to do his
part in winning the war and saving
the lives of our soldiers. The three
essentials to the winning of the war
arc, Men, Money and Food.
The Government is getting the men
by the Selective Draft System just as
fast as they can be trained and trans
ported. But for Money and Food
the Government must be entirely de
pendent upon the people of the nation
to furnish these. t
Mr. Hoover is looking after the
food proposition, but there is no man
in the world who can make it a suc
cess unless the people themselves fol
low out his program. To send food to
the soldiers we must economize in our
homes and back up Mr. Hoover.
Money ? The Liberty Bonds, the
War Savings Stamps and the Thrift
Stamps are the methods devised to
raise the required amounts. But the
people must buy or it will surely re
sult in failure. These causes have
been presented to the people from
time to time, but there is no method
of pursuing a cause equal to the per
sonal. The Government of the United
States realizes that this service can
be efficiently rendered by the Boy
Scouts of America, going from house
to house getting the people to sign
pledge cards, and to buy a certain
amount of Stamps.
For this purpose and other patri
otic services the Government has ask
ed that the boys of the Boy Scout age
join the Boy Scouts of America ai>d
do patriotic work for the government.
It is said that a good Boy Scout in
America will save the life of a soldier
in France. "Every Scout to save a
Soldier." There are now nearly 300,
000 Scouts in America. The Govern
ment is anxious to increase the num
ber to 1,000,000. This is a call to you,
whoever you are, if you are between
the age of 12 and 18, to volunteer.
This is a call to the mothers and fath
ers of the boys of America to en
courage your boy to join the Boy
Scouts of America.
Are you anxious to save the life of
a soldier? Then join the B. S. A. If
a soldier's life is lost because your
boy fails to become a scout, are you
willing to assume the responsibility ?
ROY ALL SCHOOL NEWS.
Mr. Robert Higgins, principal at
Royall, spent Saturday night and Sun
day with l is home folks.
Misses Zellie and Lissie Woodard,
of Progress school, spent Saturday
night and Sunday with Misses Mollie
and Octavia Thompson.
Messrs. Carl Hines and Leslie Toler,
of near Goldsboro, spent the week-end
with M ssrs. Willie and Millard Fail,
and were callers in the Thompson
neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
There was an entertainment at Mr.
J. W. Thompson's Saturday night and
all present reported a jolly time.
Messrs. Daniel Thomas Oliver and
David Peedin, of Pine Level, were
visitors at Mr. S. M. Howell's Sun
day afternoon.
Miss Lenona Lynch, of Progress,
visited Misses Cliellig and MaTtna
Thompson Saturday night.
Misses Genettic and Bessie Wood
ard, of near Princeton, visited Miss
Octavia Howell Saturday night.
The farmers of this section are very
busy now cutting stalks and getting
ready for farming. ? C. A. T.
Money in Seeds.
We are glad to say our farmers are
now increasing their incomes by hun
dreds of thousands of dollars by
growing and selling staple seeds, such
as cottonseed, corn, wheat, oats, vel
vet beans, cow peas, soy beans, and
peanuts. But ihey have just begun to
realize the amount of money annual
ly spent for seed and the prices now
being paid for them. Think of tur
nip seed selling for $1.75 per pound.
You see our supply used to come
from England. Take the common sor
ghum seed, the seedmen are asking
around $6 per bushel for them. Any
farmer can make money who will
grow the staple varieties of sorghum
seed and advertise them. Farmers
every day are asking us where can I
buy this or that variety of sorghum
seed and we can not tell them. For a
wide awake farmer, the seed busi
ness is a good one, for one who will
keep the varieties pure and get a fan
ning mill so as to clean them proper
ly. ? Southern Cultivator.
Doing a little better today than yes
terday, a little better tomorrow than
today, that is the way skill is gained in
?ny line. Ambition that will not'
drudge is poor stuff. "Pegging away"
is the secret of success in everything,
and especially in Christian living. ?
