PRICE S2.00 PER YEAR DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR 0 Mother who has been here with was somewhat amazed—or was O —the other night to find that little boy had grown up. ^he said I snored. Frankly, I don't believe it. Not until 1 hear it myself will anyone be able to convince me that 1 make a racket while asleep. Surely a fellow as nice as I wouldn't do that. Anyway, she contends strongly that I do snore, and snore loudly. Just as strongly 1 deny it. but she called in Capt. C. P. McCallum to prove it .and he substantiated her claim, but why should 1 believe him when he snores and denies it. 1 still don't believe it. 0 Speaking of snoring and sleep ing. I really don't stay awake long enough to find out whether or not 1 snore. The minute 1 hit the bed, sleep overcomes me. A clear con science, you know. In fact. I can go to sleep almost anyplace and anytime. And why not? There's no reason to be sit ting around doing nothing when one can sleep. It's the getting awake that bothers me. A little old alarm clock kicks up a tremendous fuss and shocks me from my slumbers. It doesn't make getting up a bit pleasant Now. jf someone were to invent an alarm clock that, -in stead of making a racket, would give off an aroma of hot coffee and ham and eggs and buttered toast, that would really make getting up easier. 01 don't know why. but I'm re minded of the story about two fel lows with insomnia discussing a cure. "I take a glass of wine every 20 minutes." said one "Does that put you to sleep'.'" the other asked. "No," he replied, "but it makes me content to stay awake." 0 1 was a wee wee lad—just that old when I first saw napkins with clothespins on them And it has been a long time since—until last week. They cropped out again, this time at my table. The clothes pins are used to tell k tose napkin is which The names P i inscribed on the clothespin. 0 Fred Pittman tool: breakfast with Capt. Ed Provost the other morning, and was amazed that there were no trains going by. "Where are all the trains you com plain about passing your house?" Fred asked. "They all ran yesterday," Cap tain Ed replied. 0 Mayor Charles Warn sends in the following stories for our en joyment: As a rookie. Abraham was a total flop Efforts to teach him anything of warfare, battle tactics, even drill, were entirely in vain. He was. however, included in the division when it went overseas. The first day of action, he was outstanding. For his courage in successfully wiping out six machine gun nests single handed he was cited for a decoration. The captain was amazed and called Abraham's sergeant for an explanation. "What did you do to him to make such a good soldier in such a short time?" "Darned if I know," said the sergeant. "You must have done something, according to the captain. "All 1 did," reported the sergeant, • was stick a machine gun in his hands, just before the battle, and say Abe, now you're in business for yourself." When God passed out brains 1 thought he said trains And I missed mine. When he handed out looks 1 thought he said books And I didn't take any. When he handed out noses I thought he said roses And I ordered a big red one. When he handed out ears 1 thought he said beers And I ordered two short ones. When he handed out legs I thought he said kegs And I ordered two fat ones Gawd! Am I a mess! After hearing the Chaplin's force ful sermon on the Ten Command ments, Private Black was in a seri ous mood. But he brightened up as he went over the list in his mind. "Well, anyways." he said, "I haven't made any graven images." 0 For a year or more we have list ened to the radio public and private speakers galore, as well as read numerous editorials etc., relative to the necessity of conserving tires and rubber by driving at re duced speeds of 35 miles per hour or less.

There'■ another important job for you. Save all the extra vegetables from your Victory Garden by home-canning. A few jars a day take little time and add up to well-fllled shelves by the end of the season. Food costs are high in the stores and may be high er, but food grown at home still costs a few cents a jar. There's a deep satisfaction in growing and canning your own food. Wait and see. You'll take inventory of your garden each day to »ee which vegetables are right for the table and how many extras there are to put in glass jars. Make it a point each day to gather everything at its prime, and make it a point of honor to get the extras into glass Jars before they lose freshness. That's the big secret of delicious, nutritious, home - canned foods freshness. Home - grown, home canned foods often have many more vitamins than those bought at the store, because they are fresh. And when you get a reliable home canning booklet, you'll be surprised at how many different things may be put away for later use in glass jars.

Lehman medines for sick plants and aspirin will not cure the headache of a Victory Garden cabbage, .says Dr. S. G. Lehman, plant pathologist the North Carolina Agricultural College. The plant physician points out that most plant disease remedies are intended to prevent rather than cure diseases. For example, the organic mercury compounds, sold under such trade names a.s sernesan. eeresan. and sanoseeci. have made important contribu tions to plant health through kill ing germs on seeds. Research at the State College Experiment Station has pro\ p that some of the organic mercuries omit toxic vapors which kill the germs. Seeds were exposed to the chemicals in closed dishes and it was found that the chemicals wcr•• able to disinfect the seeds even though they did not touch the seeds. This was especially ..true of those disinfectants containing ethyl mercury chloride and ethyl mercury phosphate and sold under the name "eeresan." It was also shown that semes an and sanoseed had to touch their victims in order to kill them. These findings are important be cause they present a new view point for determining when t.> tract certain seeds and what kind of containers to store them in The work also shows that, if prop er containers are used, the amoun's of the disinfectant required may be greatly reduced.

The Senate is expected to pass the resolution before the summer recess. No opposition is anticipat ed. Representatives Cooley and Clark of North Carolina, who met two days ago with representatives from the tobacco states to write the re solution, explained that under present laws the Secretary of Agri culture must announce findings as to the supply of tobacco tending to show that there is a surplus before invoking quota provisions of the Agriculture Adjustment Act. Under the abnormal conditions of wartime, they said, it was al most impossible to make any such forecast. The resolution passed to day simply made it possible to ex tend the quota provisions without change next year. The usual refer endum, however, will be held. The resolution does not affect any other provision of the existing law, Cooley pointed out. PROMOTED TO MAJOR. 0Capt. Robert S. Collins, son of Mrs. Lucy Cox of New Bern, for merly of Onslow County, has been promoted to the rank of major in the United States Army. He is now stationed at a camp in Cali fornia.
