(CommuuieqlrO When the Mailer led five thou sand hungry people wilh five I loaves and two sardines. He told | the diciples to gather up all the fragments so that nothing might 1 be loSt, and twelve deciples then filled their little lunch baskets. The National Association of Dealers in Waste Material, atl their firSt annual meeting in New York City, reported results which arc really astonishing, as to the amount at fragments (broken material) gathered up, which ill almost equal to the filling of the I twelve baskets uearly two thou- 1 sand yeers ago. They said, for example, that] fourteen million dollars worth of 1 pure tin has been collected froni tin cans and other tinware thrown! in the back yards and alleys, and J that the sheet iron in these samel cans and pans have been con- j verted into the very beiS quality J of Structure Steel. J There could be scores of other! things mentioned that are madcl from waStc and tell the great J fortqnes that have been made by I packers and ihauufaiitiuers, but! I prefer to sum it up in the Words of the president of association referred to. The wsite material dealers are the true conservationists. Things that we considered trash not long I ago ha\e develpped into great I industries. Still greater results ? have been achieved from thel saving of waite material than! from the irrigation <4- barren I lands* ? " \ I . Dealiog in wafle has rccliimedj millions of dollars. It has turned! the dump hejjw into gold mines,! and has ibowa- the real way to - conservation. Why do I present these facts . to our farming people? Simply to show the entirely different at . titud<j of manufacturers and v fanners toward wafle. Firfl of oil, v;e think of the waste of manure. Do our farm know that an animal weighing I 1,000 pounds will produce during I the winter seasons five -tons of! manure if it is fed during the cold weather while the grass is dead in the pastures? This, atl . present prices of guano, is worth at least two dollars a ton, pro vided it is applied to the ground when lreah. Don't our farmers know Jthat at the present price of commercial fertiliser, which sooner or later the farmers of I Epitern North Carolinu will have to buy, th?S manure from1 a sheep is worth 25c. a month during the feeding period. The mauure from cattle kept in yards or] flables, however, farmers are obliged to get it out; but they usually delay so long that half! the valve is waited. Except! where ftraw is used freely for bedding, all the liquid portion Is ?: waited, and that Is worth neatly if not quite, solid portion.! ' Then farmers say; would youl qdvise us to' cut our corn on the &alk and the expense of shred dinfcit from the shocks, when " ver has no market value at , no not unless you have cattle .ther Stock or convert it into '**'>? ^ I ToaAc I DEMANDS OF DIED STATES ACCEPTED 8* GERMANY.

It may be said by some people "tlpt it would make the market fall, and farmers would be less profitable," but my good friends, you need not worry about that. It Will involve an entirely new revelation in farm in?. If you are smart enough to get in the lead, you will be the reaper of the profit and the other man will be the laser. ? It may be wrong to admit it, but toe troth is that we have not really got down to farming as a business. We are manure w oil ers, fodder wallers, b'lraw waf ers, forest wallers, soil waiters and are continuous waiters of iareVegetable matter in the soil. Wile it not for the ailobishiog Mall ess of the country, we would have gone (o some other occupation long before this. ^Gather up the fragments jhat remain, that nothing may be lotSf* ? G. T.

Count Bernftoff, the German Ambassador, on iQftructions from Berlin, today informed Secretary Lansing that Germany had accepted the principal that passenger liners should be warned before attack by submarines. He formally communicated this information in writing. After a conference at th[e State Department, Ambassador Bern Storff seat Secretary Lansing the following letter: j '%!y Dear Mr. Secretary: . "With reference to our conversation of (his morning, I bsg to inform you that my instructions concerning our answer to your ln4l note contains the following passage: "Liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warn ing aud without safety of the lives of non combatants, provid ed thaf the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.' "Although I- know that you do not wish <o discuss the Lusitania question till the Arabic incident has been definitely [ and satifactorily settled, I desire to inform you of the above because this policy, of my government was decided on before the Arabic incident occurred.

We therefore cannot seperate ourselv.e from our surroundings. What then inu>5t people from " more progressive communities think when they come into our mid&, over 'the roads we now of fer the public for travel in Farm ville township? No doubt, some bright fellow may say, "if they do not want lo travel these primative roads, of the by gone days, then let them Slay away." But when we pause to take a reasonable '.bought, and reflect how dependent one commupity is on another, and one &ate on another, and one country on another, and one season on another, we realize that we can not advantageously live apait from and unlike the re^t of civil- . ization. We are therefore bound, if we wu^ the respec't of the public, to olrer safe and respedable public highways, such as twentieth cen tury civilization should cause ? every community to demand. Every country community, if it is to experience any degTee of prosperity, "mub't necessarily in order to find market for produce and get necessary' supplies from other points, commuuicate with some nearby town. Let each farmer think for him self, whether he had rather drive and haul over the rough, un drained, crooked paths we now have in Farmville township, or over good solid will drained roads, a sample of which you can easily see juft across the way in Greene county. . We people are so much in clined to study our own affairs that we forget we can at the same time serve the public. As it now is. we are letting the pub lic interest go to ruin. Every man can do himself and the public a good turn now, if he will. ]u& work and talk for the good roads bond issue, and on September 21$, vote for it. ? A. Friend lo Civilization.
