Taylor has a brother-in-law, sons-in-lkw and a son in the U. o. Armies. Hoke county has more volunteers in the U. S. Army and Navy than any county in North Carolina we be lieve, although we have no statistics at hand. Hoke furnished a residue of men Sept. 16th, 1940. Next to Guilford and Robeson, two of the largest counties in the state. People are unjust in their criti cism, but I do not mean to criticise when I say it would have saved lives and expense money to have met the Japs more nearly on even terms in the East Indies. Why the British are striving so hard to hold desert country in North Africa, when they would give such country not a look in time of peace. I mentioned -a snow on the 17th of April 1871, two inches deep, but it did no harm to peaches big as bird eggs. I believe it was in June, 1912, when some fellow in Raeford saw snow falling. I was so cold for three days we had to have good fires all around. business, this old world will find it self getting mighty gant before a great whUe. The range furnishes but a liftle nowadays. In tite long ago, a patch of com, a few potatoes and vegetables were all a fwmer grew. The woods in game furnished meat. Even fish and oysters are too scarce and high for common people to eat them. I suppose the Germans are responsible in part, at least, for the high price of seafood. Anyhow, we expect many a man to spend much of his time on creekbanks trying for a nibble. American troops are nearly sur rounding the earth it seems; we read of them in Iceland, Ireland, England, several points in ^uth America, the islands of the seas. These occupa tions are to prevent Japan from gain ing foothold in these strategic points. Time for full and telling blow will come when America gets ready. It will come. The weather during the winter of 1893-94 was mild, cold snaps but on ly a few of them, and on and after the middle of February. 1894 it was warm until the 28th of March, there was a thundercloud from the north west and freezing weather for three days. The leaves on the trees were grown, were killed, even trees were killed. A graduate of the University came to teach the public schools in Red Springs in the fall of 1894, and he failed to get a certificate at all, even a third grade. Teachers taught un der first, second and third grade cer tificates in those days. An average of 80 and above 80 and above fdr se- coimd grade, 70 and above for a third grade. The subjects which were taught in free schools, then were Spelling, Reading, History of North Carolina, History of United States, Geography, Arithmetic, ^glish Grammar, The ory and Practice of Teaching, and Physiology and Hygiene. The Coun ty Superintendent in Robeson would i^Jt endorse a certificate given by any c^er Superintendent. The leaves were grown when that freeze came, and did not start again for weeks. In fact the leaves that summer were smaller than usual. March, 1882 was mild, warm in fact, and there was no frost after Febru ary 15th, that year,, and that was Ihe earliest spring I recall. The spring of 1894 turned out to be the latest. , The terms of -free schools were from two to four months in length. I- taught a number which averaged four months. In a school four months, usually the more diligent children finished their studies, Spell ing, Geography, Arithmetic, Gram mar, History, North Carolina, and of the United States). These sub- jMts were published in series. Some of the children. were ktudi-r; ous, and always had good lessons,' seemed to enjoy their work; others were never interested, or so it seem ed. While I taught we opened and closed school daily with a program of song and prayer. You would be surprised how well the children sang. The rainfall here in Raeford has been light every summer for twelve years. There was gain in precipita tion about half ^Ke^'inters but oth ers there was no- gain, and no snow to effect the water supply or pumps, wells and springs have failed in many instances. Two of the largest snows I ever saw fell in March, and on the 17th day of March, 1885, it was as fair as you ever saw the sky at 10 o’clock' that night, and when we arose next morning, 18th, 10 inches of snow cov ered the ground. Government Plans To Raise Tax On Beer Raleigh, March 14.—The prbtJb^d increase in federal beer taxes will yield the national defense program an additional $850,00 to $1,000,000 annually on North Carolina retil beer sales. Figures compiled by the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee, disclosed that the U. S. government collected $2,671,037 on the state’s 1941 beer consumption. On the basis of the 1941 consump- ■tion, the proposed increase would add $855,000 to this total, but it is likely that the extra tax will yield nearer $1,000,000 as consumption in increas ing in North Carolina. Under .the present schedule, the federal government collects $6 and the state an average $3.75 a barrel. The proposed new federal taxes for war purposes would hike the federal rate to $8 a barrel. North Carolina’s consumption of ■426,475 barrels of beer last year nett ed the federal, state and local, gov ernments $4,934,959.55 in taxes. College Men Still Needed By Navy Reserve Raleigh, March 11.—Enlistments have been heavy in the Navy’s re serve midshipman program but are still open to college juniors, seniors and graduates, Lt. Comdr. McFarland W. Wood, Navy recruiting chief for North Carolina, announced today. Students and graduates from ev ery accredited college and universi ty in the state have poured into the Class V-7 office here and at Char lotte to enlist for training leading to a reserve officer’s commission. “However, there is still a definite need for college men in the midship man program,” asserted Commander Wood, “and I would advise all col lege juniors, seniors and graduates not less than 19 and imder 28 years of age to contact the Raleigh or Char lotte V-7 offices at once.” Applicants must be native-born, •unmarried citizens who possess a bachelor’s degree of arts, science, engineering, philosophy, business ad ministration, commercial science, journalism or laws; or be a junior or senior regularly enrolled in a course leading to one of these degrees. One full year of college njathematics in cluding a coufse in trigonometry must be included. College juniors and seniors may be enlisted prior to graduation pro vided they submit a certificate from the registrar of their school stating that upon graduation they will have the educational qualifications re quired. After enlisting they will be continued on inactive duty until they have completed the work required for their degrees.' The midshipman program consists of approximately 30 days elementary training at the Naval Training School at Notre Dame University prior to assignment to a Reserve Midship man' School at either Northwestern University, Columbia University or the USS Prairie State at New York City for 90 days intensive training. After the first 30 days training, those candidates who are appointed will be ordered to the 90 days of study and furnished books, uniforms, ration aUowwce and nay of $65 per month. At the end of the schooling, midship men found qualified are commission ed as ensigns in the Naval Reserve and will be subject to active duty immediately. utor pf the e^te of fflvina Monroe, •eceesed, late of Hoke'colmly, Nortti Carolina, (his is to notify all persons having claims againsf^ the said estate to presort them to me, duly verified on or before the i7(h day of De ember. 1942, or this notice will be pleaded in., bar- 6f ttieir. r^very. persons indebted - to fte said state will please make, immediate settlement.

(39-43-c) advertising in the news-journal DOESN’T COST IT PAYS! There used to be snow flurries in the fall of fee year, and also in the spring. Snow would fall thick as you ever saw it fall for a few min utes from black, low, fast moving clouds. We have not seen snow flurries of late years. I never saw many very cold spells in April. You may expect much stealing. People who have no way of living except by their labor, and then re fuse to work when, they might, will feel the pangs of.hunger after a while, and they will be apt to find a little something to eat. The President has an idea 20 cents is too much for cotton, but with the way everything else has gone up in price, cotton must go up also. Be side the high taxes which must be levied and collected, and the added income taxes which is likely to be demanded and collected, will add to the farmer’s expenses.
