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

wool and horse llesh, all of
which the world is loudly de
manding today, and for Which it
will pay you a good price.
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.

The Entire Country Greatly Pleased at Recognition
and acceptance by Kaiser of Fundamental Princi

Washington, D. C., Sept. lit. ? 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.
Have no objection to your making any use 'you may
please of the above information, y: >.
"I remain, my dear Mr. Lansing,
Very sincerely yours,

Washington, Scpl- 1&? No'singte triumph of the Wil|on ad
ministration has occasioned as much favorable comment in Wash
ington and throughout the United States as the diplomatic victory
which'today brought assurances from Germany th?f the United
States' demand for o ceasing, of danger to Americans from subma
rine Svarfarc will be complied with in the future. - This assurance
from Germany is regarded here as the end of serious complications
with Gejruiuuy and is taken to mean in w^ll informed circles, that
there will be no war with Germany.
- The outcome is regarded as a signal victory for President Wil
son and astMitling initial achievement of Secretary Lansing.

GOOD ROADS
A NECESSITY
In considering the road propc ?
sition, it is a well known tad,
thut people are judged by the
company they keep.
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.
