produce more food and feed stuffs
this year than it did last year.

BUYING BONOS.
The Country Gentleman gets this
off:
Said a man m the street: "Don't
think I shall buy any more Liberty
Montis; it looks as if fie Kaiser
might conquer, and If he does these
bonds will be at a discount. Those
Germans are great fighters, and I
haveif't got any money to loso."
Said a bystander: "Right you are,
old man. If the Germans conquer,
the Liberty Honda will be at a dis
count and so will all the other prop
erty that now belongs to you and
me. You might aa well buy bonds
!...di. it nur fnr if the Kaiser con
quers, whatever we have left will be
his; see? That's what this war is
about, don't you know? Go home
now and say your prayers, and when
the next bond sale comes along take
all you can get and credit the in
vestment to protection along with
your fire Insurance."
The bystander w.is right, and Gov
ernor Lowden was right when he
said: "I don't care wjiat becomes of
my farms if we don't win the war."
This war Is not a game for taking
chances on who will win. It is a
death struggle for personal liberty
and the right to own property; and
the only way to win is to put every
thing into the balance.
The man who holds back is too
mean and too selfish to be entitled to
protection by a democracy; he be
longs In an autocracy at least until
the scales drop off his eyes.
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE TOBACCO GROWERS
Mr. E. II. Matthewson of Reids
rille, Government expert in tobacco
culture, has the following to say to
tobacco farmers:
"I)o not extend tobacco acreage
this iyear. The urgent need of tho
Ing to harvest by priming make land
sowewhat richer, which can be done
without Injury to quality, and lop
two to four leaves higher. At the
Oxford Experiment Station the av
erage of four years of trial 1913 to
1916, the yield per acre was 240
pounds per acre more from the prim
ed portion than from the cut por
tion a thirty six per cent. Increase;
and the money value was more than
forty-one per cent The cost of
priming was only $3.69 per acre more
than the cutting. Plan on priming
In advance. Maike the land richer
and top heavier and thus get the
fullest advantage from priming.
Make two slides (or trucks) at a
cost of aout a dollar each for haul
ing the leaves to the stringing shel
ter. "Poison horn worms with arsenate
of leadk Horn worms often cause
serious loss and hanl picking is te
dious and expensive. The most sat
isfactory method is to apply arse
nate of lead as a dry powder in the
Monarch dust gun Apply as soon
as aimall worms become plentiful,
generally In August, using four or
five founds per acre of tobacco of
medium to good size. One applica
tion generally is enough unless the
tobacco is very late or heavy rain
comes soon After the poison is ap-
Lplied, washing it off before the
worms are killed and making a se
cond application necessary.
"Strive to set out crop early. An
early crop is much more likely to
prove profitable whether cut or
primed, but the relative gain from
priming is likely to be greater If the
crop Is early, especially In . the
"cold belt" where the growing sea
son is shorter, because it gives suf-
flcietnt time for the top 1 etwee to
mature before the weather becomes
too cool for the best results in cur
ing. "But forget not that the first duty
this year is to increase the produc
tion of food crops on every tobacco
farm and this may prove most pro
fitable as well as most patriotic."
The Germans again have tried to out
gun the Americans in their sector
Northwest of Toul. Aso on several
former occasions, the Americans re
taliated with uch flerceneis and
accuracy of aim that the enemy de
sisted.

STONEVILLE
It Is with a sense of deep sorrow
that we chronicle the death of Mrs.
Charlie King, who passed to her re
ward last Tuesday evening at 10
o'clock. All who knew her are sen
sibly pained at the thought that she
has gone from the home circle and
that she has left to mourn her pass
ing a husband and one child just
a year old. iMrs. King was Just
'nineteen years old and a young wife
and mother of the highest attain
merits and Christian virtue, and In
Jour community and amongi her
friends she was loved and with a
love that has written itself indeli
bly on the tablets of our remem
brance. She was taken ill with the measles
only a few days ago which devel
oped into pneumonia from which she
never rallied. Many times during
the last honrs of her outspoken
faith in God and the reward that
was awaiting her strengthened the
hope of those that are left to follow
in only a very short space of time
to the Inn from whence no traveler
over desires to leave.
The remains were buried Wednes
day afternoon, the funeral being from
the M. E. church and was conducted
by Rev. T. J. Glenn.

sale of leaf tobacco, to which place
they will go during early summer.
Mr. Hunter K. Penn returned last
Friday from Randolph county, where
he completed a sale of one of his
valuable farms near Bennett, to J.
O. Grander of this place.

State Food Administrator Henry
A. Page calls upon the merchants of
the cities and towns of North Caro
lina to adopt early in the season the
policy of eaily ..afternoon closing
nd at least one half holiday each
week so as to enable all employees
to cultivate gardens. A uniform
policy of early closing and of a half
holiday one or !vo days during the
week would not reduce the quantity
of goods sold In any degree, and
would result not only In an Increased
number of and better production from
gardens, but w Lid res ill m be' I

employees in such stores.
This policy was adopted in the city
cf Raleigh and some other cities
and towns of the State last year with
wonderful results and it is expected
(hat It will become a uniform and a
vnVersally adopted practice thruout
the State this summer. Mr. Page is
particularly anxious that it should be
