Mr. T. I. Duke, an influential farm
er of Route 4, called In Saturday to
congratulate The Review on Its fight
to prevent turing over the town a elec
trie plant and a 60-year franchise to
n alien comoration. He says he
can not see what the people of Reids
vlllo are thinking about to thus bar
ter away their rlghds and liberties and
bow their necks to trust domination.
He says the sympathies of the farm
ers are wholly on the people's side in
this contest and he can not under
stand how anyone who believes In peo
pie's rule can line up on the side of
the trusts and corporations in this
fight. Mr. Duke says if the farmers
lu a radius of three or four miles of
Reidsville had a vote on the question
they would settle It right, beyona
a doubt .
The Reidsville basebell team met
defeat at the hands of the strong May-
odan team Saturday In a 7 to 3 con
test. Reidsville was up against a
tough proposition and this, coupled
with seemingly such glaring unfair de
cisions by the umpire, proved too
much for our bunch. This was Reids
ville's first game of the season, but
those who witnessed the game de
clare that the team In due time will
prove Itself the equal if not better
than any team ever seen on the
Reidsville field. On the other hand,
Mayodan's team, after many hard
fought games this season, of couse
had considerable advantage, but they
had their bands full at that. Ingle,
who was In the box for Reidsville,
showed the lack of arm muscle that
will surely come to him as the ball
season begins in earnest. Hunter
Mobley caught him in the old, old
way, and the otherr members gave
the battery good support Barnes,
Oak Ridge's twirler, and Vernon, com
prised the battery for Mayodan. The
opening game of the season on the
local diamond will bo played Saturday."-;

book is "The Floods of July 1916

purpose of the book Is to put into per
manent form the railroad company's
recognition to the work one by its or
ganization in restoring order and life
to the system, following the havoc
caused by the floods. The book is
worthy of preservation because it

of the flood and because It shows the

THE DEPENDABLE DRUGGIST
AT IT FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS
Farmers of the United States, of
their own volition; are making the
same mistake that agriculturists of
Germany did under government com
pulsion, at the outbreak of the war,
and the United States as a result will
suffer from lack of meats later on,
Just as Germany Is suffering now, ac
cording to reports from the Chicago
stockyards.
The mistake is the slaughter of
young beef animals ana improperly
fattened or "unfinished" bogs, which
are being rusnea to toe marker, m
great numbers, partly to take advan
tage of the present high prices, which
the average farmer thinks are too
good to last, and partly because of a
rumor which has spread throughout
the country that the government is
contemplating in the near future fixing
maximum prices for food products.
Every day thousands of bogs weigh
ing from 173 to 200 pounds are pour
ing into the yards to be slaughtered.
By feeding them a month or two more
they might be made to weigh from 250
to 300 pounds. The loss of meat by
this kind of marketing is enormous.
When the war started the German
government, realizing that the country
was to be blockaded by the British
navy, but thinking the war would not
be a long one, ordered the immediate
slaughter of a great proportion of its
food animals. The result was a tempo
rary plenty, but breeding stock was
encroached upon, and as a result as the
weary years went by there was an
ever Increasing scarcity of meat
A crop of wheat or corn can be rais
ed in one season, but breeding stock on
the farms cannot be replenished so
rapidly, so that If the Indiscriminate
slaughter of Immature stock does not
cease packers fear that present prices
will in another year be considered ex
tremely low.
To Open Food Bureau.
A food production bureau to act as a
clearing bouse In the employment of
men and women and boys and girls on
the farms of Cook county will be open
ed In Chicago by the Cook County
Truck Gardeners and Farmers' associ
ation in the plan to Increase the acre
age of farm crocs this summer along
the lines suggested by the federal gov
ernment ' -
"The farmers of Cook county hare
been dependent to a certain extent
upon labor agencies to get farm help,"
said Mr. Geweke, "but the class of
help obtained from this source, of
course, has been the expert help. What
we will need now, if our crops are to
be Increased, are people to carry the
crops through the weeding and har
vesting season.
"We will be able to get enough ex
pert farm help to plant the crops, as
one man can plant as much as twenty
men can harvest But we must have
some assurance that we will have la
bor to care for the crops after they
have been planted."
Profsr Experienced Workers.
Mr. Geweke said that the Cook coun
ty farmers would ask the Chicago
board of education to help them obtain
boys and girls from the schools, who
will be provided with permits. A par
ticular appeal will be made to the Po
lish and Bohemian sections of the
city for helpers. The wages for un
skilled farm labor, he said, would be
from $1 to $2 a day during the weed-
tag season and probably as high as S3
a day during the harvest season.
Those who have had some farm ex
perience will be given preference In
employment
James A. Fatten has volunteered to
help buy two carloads of seed potatoes
provided others will join with him In
the project
The city authorities have under con-
I slderatlon a plan to place the vagrants
of the city and the Inmates of the
Bridewell and other penal Institutions
not otherwise employed on a tract of
j land of more than 1,000 acres in ex
tent near the Bridewell and raise there
vegetables and other farm products.
The plan has the sanction of the cir
cuit judges and others Interested.
These "gardeners" would be under di
rect supervision of guards and com
pelled to work.
