VAGF TWO THE 'REVIEW j REIDSVll. E. N. C. Our Duty It Simple lalltor ReidsYllle Review: If our friend in Rockingham county who have land, have not already de finitely decided upon the policy of raising everything required for the sustenance of themselves, their fajn illea and their stock, on their land this year, I want to take this oppor tunity of impressing upon thorn the great danger they axe placing them selves in. Lard today is quoted on the Chi cago market, in 340 pound tierces, wholesale at 20c per pound. Fat back pork the same price. We know what potatoes, wheat, corn and other necessaries are selling at. The price in almost famine prices. The early crops from Mississippi, Louisana, Georgia and Alabama many of which have sufferod severly from the recent frosts will make no appreciable difference In present prices, and the outlook is for higher prices in the Immediate future. The lot of the wage earner in the cities of America today is deplorable. Advances in wuca cannot cope with j '. the steadily advancing cost of .living, due mainly to scarcity of food; and unless the holders of land set them selves to produce more food at once this condition is going to become worse, and result in food riots, and a condition bordering upon anarchy. This would be a deplorable thing, and & terrible handicap to a government already plunged Into a condition of war after the exercise of a patient -spirit, never before displyed by any great nation in the history of the world. Our duty to the country Is simple. It la to put every available inch of productive land under suttue food crop that will, help avert possible condi tions of starvation in parts of our great country. It is a duty; a patri otic duty probably the only duty far mers will be called upon to render to our country ,a nd it ought to be un dertaken freely, heartily and gener tusly by those who re fortunate enough to possess land in this time f stress. Let us grow every bit of food re quired for our own use, on our land nd a little over to help our brethren in the 1 cities. Yours very truly J. V. DUNN, , Sec. C. & A. .Association. Xeidsvllle, N.

At that hour God said to her. "Come, rest thou good and faithful servant," u-nd in obedience to that summons sustained find soothed by an unfaltering trust the spirit of Mrs. Harriet K. Stan- fleld took its flight. The deceased h-aves to mourn her dfath five sons and four daughters besides other de voted relatives and a host of friends. Mrs. Stanfleld was born and raised In Granville county. She was a de scendant from leading colonial t.inu ilies of North Carolina and Virginia uch as Governor Spotswood, the liur wells and Landis. Most of her mar lied life was spent in Rockingham and Caswell counties. Her conception of Cfe wtiis simple but beautiful. Kind- hearted, syiniKithetlc, genilo. sweet- spirited and unselfish woman that she was. She was never Known 10 speux evil of any one. Charity for nil, mal ice toward none was the motto to wards which she lived up to all the days of her life. She lived the life of a christian woman; she died with smile upon her faeea death most litting and in keeping with her wishes and request her burial ceremony wis simple. In the well-kept cemetery at Liickfork, we liid her to rest. H . S. J.

J. Galpin. Madison, Wis This bulletin shows how 9.1 per cent, of the membership of the country churches are from fuming families; that the churches hive their best ' liance for success in a farm popu lation that is not shifting about from place to place; that the farmer's church strengthens the habits of fam ily life upon which successful farming depends; and, that agriculture is a party to rural church problem for the reason that in the national struggle to unite farmers into successful produc- Some Cyclones in the Old Day In a Kansas town we saw a little one-story printing office building bod ily picked up off the ground it had nothing but a wooden foundation carried two miles with a man and his wife In it, and set down as easly as t l ough it had rubber cushions under it.

It is confi dently anticipated that the price of No. 3's will go as high as 50 during the canning season. A small order has alrady been plac ed by the C. & A. Association ut the above prices. Those who contemplate canning fruits cor vegetables for which there is bound to be a great de mand, at high prices, during the year are invited to place their orders now to take advantage of the low prices. In view of the tremendous demand lor canned goods, communities could well afford to plant additional acre ages in snap Detuns, peas, tomatoes, etc., and purchase a Home Canner outfit. Boys and girls Who will h i.ve spare time during the conning sum mer, might well give this kind ol work a trial.

C. A Patriot And Booster The editor of the Milton News, not disturbed by the world alarms of war nor excited over industrial tie-ups, conceived the Idea of planting fruit trees on the road between Milton and Yanceyvllle, and also on vacant lots in the two towns. So enthusiastic did he become over the idea that he has purchased the trees and they will be planted in the next few weeks. The idea is to furnish shade along the sidewalks and to give fruit free for all who care to gUher it. The ed itor disclaims the idea as being origi na with him but he says the propo sition is new in his section and he is going to put it over. And all of us might take a lesson from this Milton editor. Unselfish hoping to serve his fellow man, he proposes something w6rth while wild goes about and does ft.

It is said that this sec tion of North Carolina has never been visited by a real cyclone. Tornadoes whifh have done some damage now i'nd then visit us. Frank Woodson, "nee of the Danville Register,' now of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, had a map showing why it was impossible for a cyclone to do business in the Piedmont section. But one day about 1X89 several tin roofs and all the awn ing in Danville were going trough the air and Frank destroyed the map and concluded that a cyclone wis wind, and that wind bloweth where it list eth.

URTON-CHAPICE-WAUiER.CO; FURNITURE UNDERTAKING DAY PHONE 75 NIGHT PHONES 252-W d 126J The Case of Hayes "Some of th besti known Methodist clergymen in the State," says the Ra leigh correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News, are now working for the release of Hayes, the Winston-Salem man, convicted of stealing the funds of the Methodist orphanage under his control and charged wLi'h worse of fenses. Is there any crime detestable enough to keep a man locked up in North Carolina? It is true, to keep a man in such a place as our state pris cn has been shown to be is in itself a crime against humanity; but the way to rmedy that is to clean up the prison, not to free all the convicts. There Is a theory'- that gains holds on the im ginatlon as the depth of his villainy is revealed, that the place for Hayes is not prison but an asylum for ihe criminal insane. The moral derelicton of Hayes has brought dis grace and bitter suffering on perfect ly innocent people who deserve, and receive, the sympathy of all their rwiuaintanees; but that is sadly true whenever a crime is committed. 18 aces not follow, however, that the proper expression of sympathy for the innocent whom Hayes dragged down in his fall Is an effort to release the criminal on society again. If the alienists consider IS even probable that Hayes is mentally de fective, a removal from the peniten tiary to Dix Hill would be perfectly proper and unobjectionable; but the governor should think ai long 't!ime be- lore he grants an absolute pardon to a in;! n of that type.
