Champ Clark at Graded School Auditorum Thursday Nighfc Hon. Champ Clark, of Mis souri, Speaker oi the House of Congress, lectured at the Graded School auditsrium on Thursday night on Picturesque Public Men which was very interesting Mr. Clark having been in congress for the last generation gaining a personal knowledge of such treat men as Tom Reed, J. G. Blaine. Chas. F, crisp. Sam J. Randall, Jno. T. Carlisle, Wm, F. Vilas, and all thecongressional lights of this age. His tribute to Claude Kitchin was splendid. Mr. Clark is decidedly the biggest man who has ever visited Williamston and he has left impressions to bear up»n the minds of our citizens for some time to come. In Memoriam Dead, our dear one dead! Why should our eyes grow dim? Choke back the tears, we will Be proud and glad. No black upon our service flag for him Our country called We gave all we had. Now that this brave young spirit paid the prke, Now that he has made the last great sacrifice, In Gods' celestial legions now enrolled Change we the azure star to gleaming gold. So may his spirit shining thru the night Over our land of freedom far and wide Enkindle in all hearts an equal light For love and truth, for which he fought and died, He left his home in perfect health He looked so young and bravo We little thought how soon he'd be Laid in a soldiers grave. Out Beneath the LiUiesof France he is lying The silent s'ars in love look down and see What a glory was his in dying For Liberty, Country and God. Clyde M 2311e.

Letter From Prance Am. E» F. France October JJBth , 1918. Mr. Editor: Trusting that you kwill find a small corner in the En terprise" for the following mes sage to my friends, r Friends: How very very mu|b I would like to write to eaMf at yott and tell each personally how much I appreciate your thoughts of one who is quite a far way from you. But should I-undertake such a task, (for task it would be as I have so many who are my friends in old Martin County), I arn a fraid that I would not have time for any othef duties You will please take this mess age, each one of yon, as a per sonal letter from me and know that although I have not written to you, I am constantly thinking of all and I am only waiting for that glorious day when I shall be back with you once again. Since leaving the States, July 23rd., 1917, I have had many varied experiences which would interest all to a certain extent, I am sure, but especially thoße who know something about the aviation game. Some day I hope to be able to relate them to you. I am very glad to be able to say that I am well, happy and getting aLng very well in every respect. The only thing I would have you do to give me more pleasure is for each one of you to write me a long letter telling me all the news, Do not think that you do not know anything to tell me for I would be so very interested in anything at all For instance, how did the crops turn out? Were the prices gooU? Im provements going on, And Oh! just ANYTHING. Rtmembtr that I have almost forgot that there is a place which looks like a real American Town; These French Villages are so different. Sincerely yours. James W Watts, Jr. ist. Lt. A. S., U. S. A.

Prof iteerinf is Still Under Ban Raleigh-Would-be food profi teers who have judge! that the signing of the armistice will r-'- 3 lease them from the watchful eye of the Food Administration have a surprise in store. State Food_Adinii istrator Henry A. Page declared todav thai while a number of the rules and regu lations of the Food Administra tion havejbeen removed and o thers may bo- 'removed later, those relating to margins of pro fit and- to the distribution of food and feedstuff* will not only remain in force until,the Peace Treaty is signed but that they will be more rigidly enforced hereafter than they have been in the past, Profiteering and speculation will be punished ruthlessly Vol untary contributions to the lied Cross will no longer he accepted in lieu of more drastic actions. Merchants who are found to he willfully disregarding food rules and regulations, especially those relating to margins of profit, will be put out of business until normal times come again. In line with this policy the Food Administsation has fixed specific margins upon an increas ed number of food products. Their margins are absolute and any merchant who exceeds them will be subject to discipline by the Food Administrator The pro ducts upon which margins have been fixed and the margins there on are as follows: Ca»li f Credit ji' Cnriv Delivery per. bl >1 Flour (wheat, barley, rye, corn) MM) 120 Corn meal 3-4 c lc Hominy & grits 2 1 2c 3c Sugar lc IJi Oatmeal - bulk 11-2 c2c Lard & lard substi tutes - bulk 5 fic Lard & lard sub. pkg's » 5c Break fast bacon (-icper lb. may be added for slicing) 6c 7c Heavy bacon 5c 6c Ham (4c par lb may he added for slicing) 6c 7c Cheese 7c He Butter 6c 7c Butter substitutes 5c fic Kggs 7c 8c Potatoes 1" 1 11 Onions 3c 3 J per ct per ct Kvaporated milk 25 30 Oatmeal pk'gs 25 30 Rice 25 30 Beans 25 30 Edible starch 25 30 Corn syrup 25 30 Canned corn, peas, tomatoes 33 1 40 Canned salmon, chums pink and red. 33' * 40 Canned sardines, Domestic ( 40 Dried fruits.

People Do Not Get Influenza From The Sick 1c is established on good au tority that since September Ist up to date we have had 360,000 casts of influenza in North Car olina, and that 26>.(H)0 of these cases were contracted from well people, Tins is more than twi£e as many as were contracted from sick pebple. We all know that one is much more liable to be bitten by a snake in the grass than by one in the open where it can be seen. The same reason ing is true with many diseases. One is not so liable to Ret influ enza, "scarlet fever, whooping cough, measles, diptheria, and many other diseases from sick people as from well people who carry the disease germs in their mouths. When the news gets circulat ed around in a community that sonir! one has a contagious di sease, most people Ret afraid and stay from him. The few people who do go to see him usually wash their hands and use other precautions' before leaving the sick room. Sick people are con fined to a very limited urea and come in contact with very few people, and therfore they can't spread disease very widely. But listen! the fellow who gets the disease is infected from one to several days before he comes down. Between the time he gets the disease germs in his mouth, and the time he gets sick is the most dangeeous period. During this time the infected person, not suspecting how dangerous [he is, Roes into crowds at theat ers, dances, moving picture shows, on railroad cars, and in other public places, and there he scatters the disease germs. People should know these facts, and they should also know that many persona carry the disease germs in tjieir ptyutha who never have the disease. Peo ple must always be on guard if they hope to prevent getting and spreading diseases. They ahould always use separate drinking cups, dishes, and tow els, or have them boiled before using them after another, and they should hold a handkerchief over the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. When an Epidemic Disease is Present in The Community, Stay Away From Public Meetings. In analyzing the requirement for the prevention of diseases, the methods narrow themselves down to individual effort, and the sooner the people, individu ally, realize their responsibility in disease prevention, the better it will be for the people, collec tively. Report all case of whooping cough, measles, diphtheria, and 9carlet fever promptly, and vou will be instructed how to prevent their spread Win. E. Warren Asst. Collaborating Epidemiolo gist. Conservation Don'ti DON'T burn up all the leaves now falling on your lawn or around your house. Put them in the compost heap. This is no time to burn up fertilizers. There is as much plant food in a ton of leaves as in a ton of good stable manure. DON'T use your best timber for firewood because it is near or easy to split Use up laps, down logs and defective and inferior trees. In this way you improve your woodland, reduce the fire danger, utilize waste material and save the good trees l'or x other uses. DON'T burn tha dead grass off your field before plowing. Your soils need the nitrogen and humus. The air contains enough nitrogen without that which is liberated by burning grass and haves. DON'T give even your beg friend permission to exterminate the partridgts on your farm. They are worth ten times as much to you as insects destroy ers and weed seed consumers as they art t•> anyone else as an in* ducement to take needed exer cise, or tven for food. . - v- ,m;w \ - AAwHeen will M m* CelumattLaultKfjrto 1100 r Corner Heme*. * tablished 1808 Pergonal Mr. and Mrs. E.
