J. V. Harper. 28e LETTERS tKUii ufttatA; From Captain Armstrong. Th following letter recently received by Mr. W. N. Brown, of Dalla. from Captain Mervin Armstrong, now in com mand of Company I, 105th Engineers, will be of unusual interest to our readers, as1 this company is made up very laigvly of Gaston county olilier: Dear Mr. Browu: ' Am expressing you one Herman ofii-i-er'H pistol, now very justly the proper ty of Sgt. .1 nines F. Brown. He links that you keep this for him. Sgt. Brown wns mess sergeant for me, rather for Co. 1), 105th Engineers, from ('amp Sevier times to the present. As such he was about the most important man in the company, ttud he carried out his work with such spirit ami zeal, achieved su h great success that I think you ought to know about it. He did his job fully and was recognized as the best mess sergeant in the regiment. But I want to tell you he did more, and won the well-merited praise of every man with "whom he came in contact. D Com pany never went hungry, aud always had clean, well-prepared food. Our low sick rate was due in a large measure to this. The boys will irover forget the man who brought them food the night nfter the big battle of Bellicourt. The four pla toons were scattered over that many miles in a rough, shell-torn country. Bo ehe fire was heavy and sweeping over nil the roads. It was a dark, rainy night, cold too, altogether, it seemed an impos sible and highly dangerous undertaking to attempt to find the company that night. But before morning Hgt. Brown had located them all, and personally got ten rations to them. It was 'a plucky piece of work, but not unusual for him. It shows the kind of service that he gave his men always. It was that sort of spirit, anil service that won the war, and I am no little proud, and certainly grate ful for the loyal service of Mess frt. Browu. I cannot forego the opportunity here offered to' mention the gallantry of Wil liam M. Brown, the sergeant's brother. During the two years I have known him. he has unquestionably been the most. loyal soldier I about ever knew, one you could always count on ; he was never known to fail. When we came into ac tion he was naturally chosen for messen ger work. Getting orders and messages aboiit the battlefield is the most import ant and probably the most hazardous du ty in the company. Corp. Brown was a wonder in action, dependable and effi cient, with no conception of fear in him. He will have plenty of hair-raising ex periences to tell you. My one regret is that he did not gpt the decoration which he so thoroughly merited for" his distin guished action before Monttrehain. It has lieen an honor and a pleasure to have known your two sons. Sincerely yours, CAPT. MERVIN ARMSTRONG. As the time for presenting the Allies' bill for reparation draws nearer, Ger many shows increasing signs of insanity. Brooklyn Eagle. If wishes were mules beggars might have more kicks coming. NOTICE. I have tried to mail a card to each member of the Woman's Betterment As sociation and the U. C. Club inviting them to the luncheon to be given Thurs day in honor of the district meeting of the Federated Clubs. It may be possible that some of these cards have been mis placed or that some names were overlook ed in addressing the envelopes. If Any member; of either of these organizations haa been missed, you are requested to phone me at 416-L or Mrs. R. C Warren. NELL PICKENS, Home demonstration Agent Fertilizer is made by, men, material and machinery. Any one with the neces sary money ean get these together and make a fertilizer, but to give the product personality require something more. The Royster brands have back of them the personality of Mr. F. S. Royster whose life-work they are. They are the product of patient research, unfaltering courage, high ideals, foresight and independence. Starting from small things, the present great organization with 13 modern fac tories and selling over 400,000 toes a year, is built up and controlled by one dominating spirit"1 Arid a large part of the success of the Royster brands is due to the real human element, which is fre strongest characteristic of the head of the business and permeates t!te entire or ganization. Mr. Royster values very high ly the mftny letters re-eivqd from tht far mers who actually use bis goods, and in vites personal correspondence wih any who have plant-food problems cr . a couns of results from fertilized Li mis.

KIRBY-WARREN COMPANY TheJHome of Good Gottes IS It Will Settle Nation's Wai Debts and Will Care foi Sick and Wounded. Once in 'a while some une asks "What's the need of another Labertj Loan now that the war is over?" Revenue from taxes will not be suf flcient to pay all the bills, so tht people wijl be called upon to provide me money y subscribing to govern ment bonds. This money 1b goinw tc pay off the army of producers at home the farmers, merchants, manufac turers and others. America bad Just begun to fight when the Huu decided it was time tc quit. Allied leaders expected the wai to last another year and the United States government was turning out ships, arms, ammunition and food tc overwhelm Germany in one big drive. Treasury officials have revealed that in 1919 America would have had a tank at the front for ef ery seventy live feet of line. We would have had ten tons of mustard gas ready for shipment for every ton Germany could produce. Thousands of batter ies of guns would have been in act ion for every one America had in 1918. Everything else was being produced in proportion. This gigantic preparation brought an early end to the war and saved thousands of lives. Victory Liberty Bonds will pay for this work which had been contracted for and was be ing delivered when the armistice was signed. There are other purposes for which money is need. Part of our army of 2,000,000 men must be kept in Europe until the peace treaty is signed. These soldiers must be fed. clothed and otherwise maintained. Then they must be brought home. The sick and wounded must be car ed for in hospitals. ' The army must be demobilized. There are thousands of maimed soldiers, heroes of the great war, who mast be taught self supporting trades and given an oppor tunity to earn their living. This reconstruction work at home must be carried on. The job must be finished"? The American people who furnished the money to win the war must supply it also to bring the na tion back to a,f peace basis. DONT OVERLOOK THIS A Careful Perusal Will Prove Its Value to Every Gastonia Reader. The average man is a doubter, and there is little (wonder that this is so. Mis representations 'make people skeptics. Now-a-days the publis asks for better evidence than the testimony of strangers. Ilere is proof which should convince ev ery Gastonia reader: E. A. Smith, grocer, W. Franklin Ave., Gastonia, says: "I have had some trou ble in the past with my back and kidneys. My back acred a good deal and I felt ired out and run down.: I got Doan's Kidney Pills and began taking them and they made me feel like a different per sm - The aches and pains left me and I wss entirely eured.". : Pri"e 60c, at all dealers.

Kirby. of Agronomy Denart- ment, Spending This Week in the County Organizing Agricultural Clubs in the County Schools. Mr; S. J. Kirby, formerly superintend- tnt of the Gaston county farm life school but now representing the Agronomy De partment of the Extension Service at Kaleigh, is in the county co-operating with the county agents and school offi cials in a club enrollment campaign a- iiiong the schools of Gaston county. Many of the schools will be 'visited this week for the purpose of perfecting agricultu ral club organizations. A somewhat dif ferent plan will be followed from - that used heretofore. In the past effort has Im'cii to secure individual members, which wo are anxious enough to have at this) time, but one of the points, stresesd in tins campaign will be to organize the members into clubs allowing them to lio se whatever phase of the work they see n t. fn ilealniL' with the clubs the igents will bo able to do a great ileal more effective work than would be possi ble than when dealing with individuals. It is hoped by those ill charge of the campaign that it will be possible to or ganize clubs at a number of the schools or community centers in the county thi week. While the prixe schedule has not yet been announced there will be liberal pri nts offered for all club work this fall which will be announced later.

PpB-.lmi.its who shake theiT heads and join the chorus of "I dunno" ti j' fit the prospect of floating a fifth Lib erty Loan in April are adminlKtm-t a knock-out by fl.rnw which h i'-p n cenfly hppn compiled by official of the Treasury Department at U';ish l:i xtnn. Th:- figure give an id-fa of url how bi.i an appetite for pafe inve tn;ent this country has attained in t-' vae- year. Some of the more s-tr;kii:g of the figures referred to follow: A bond market which had less tfrin 300.001) "customers two years age h it! of the lose of between 20.1:06.. 000 und 25,000.000 buyers. Th" finny of buyers absorbed $11,156 .5 $50 orth of bonds In Liberty Bond aione in 191S. In ttie two years of th war-f urg ing the firt and ee n:l f:befr Loans which were floated in J017 th-se bond buyers digested a t tsl of $16,974 ,129.850 in Liberty bo;id. This healthy condition of the bond market is explained, perhaps by the fart that the entire indebtedness of the United States today amounts to slightly less than 7 P"r cent of th entimated national wealth. The na tional debt amounts to only about $170 per capita. Some of the national debts are: Great Britain. 44.3 per cent cent, of national wealth or $360 per capita; France. 41 25 per cent of national wealth or $296.90 per capita; Austria, 84.66 per cent o" national wealth or $242.90 per capita ; and Germany, 38.7 per cent of national wealth or $505.90 per capita. These figures on Germany are ex clusive of, the ninth war loan, accu rate returns of which never were had, and in the cases of both Austria and Germany no account is taken of any Indemnities which those nations will hare to pay. , - f Harmonious nation brought the Hun to bis knees.
