A MAN'S JOB The Advance Is nearlng its sixth birthday and Elizabeth City begins to look once again as It did In the Spring of 1911 when its editor came here and decided to stay awhile. ,Jt is a bl,'ger, hotter Elizabeth City and there is only one minor note in the song. Never to be forgotten friends of those first days have passed into the heavenly city. Speaking of one of these, a visi tor here said thin week. "He is pone but I see on every hand the living and growing evidenceo of his per sonality. Indeed, I see them more clearly than ever before. And so, the minor rote changes again into a battle song. T0 fight to the finish with clean hands and brave heart is the man'a job before all of us. State Superintendent of Education J. Y. Joyner and County Superin tendent Oiles of Wake have bought a farm and planted it In potatoes. This Is one step made by them in a strenuous campaign to get every possible foot of ground In that coun ty planted In food crops, and, Inci dentally, it is predicted, that they will have rich reward when they harvest their crop. But the point Is that they are leading the boys and girls of their county In a movement of real educational value as well as of patriotic service. Who will be leaders in Pasquotank? The Agony Column Six townships in Chatham county have recently voted for road bonds and the amount voted on Is nearly $2!0,Ono. The seven other townships are to take up the matter this spring. In the same connty a small town has Just voted for school'bonds al so. What about Pasquotank's road for next winter and Blieabeth City's sorely-needed school building? HOW TO DO IT , Now that we understand what can t done with the back yard garden tht next question to take up is how , to do it to get the most out of our labor. If everyone with a back yard should plant a garden in It the re mit would put a big dent In the high . Cost of living. With a little care, here are some Of the vegetables that can be raised In a back yard garden If the Instruc tlOBS are followed, says Carl Vroo man, assistant Secretary of Agricul ture: ' Beans, cabbage, parsnips, cauli flower, onions, lettuce, cucumbers, peas, beets, carrots, radishes, aspar agus.
