You 'h your heart iust what The supreme issue before us as a lation is to win the war. Nothing :lse can count now except our power co fight to destruction the barbarism of Germany's military machine, A'hich seeks to conquer and dominate the world. All that civilization holds dear is at stake The honor of wo mandood, human liberty and Christ ianity, all are at stake, as .our armies meet in the struggle on the -battle field of France the barbarism of Germany, which for generations has been building a fighting machine for the full purpose of dominating the world. All that we have is at stake. Country and home, for without a country we can have no home; civili zation, Christianity, womanhood and childhood, are all the issue, their fu ture hanging in the balance according to our power to fight. In view of these facts we can well afford to make sacrifices at home while our boys are trying to make the conflict in battle. In order to meet the mighty fighting power of Ger many we must create a fighting strerigth superior to that of Ger many s, to the extent that American men of honor are superior to the ustful criminals, the German soldiers. fhis cannot be done except by the power or money, uur government cannot create money; it can only use the money which its people, through taxes, Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps, furnish. Our government has no power except as given by its people; therefore the responsibility rests heavily upon every single indi vidual, man, woman and child to do their utmost and stand by our armies yhile they are 'fighting for our very existence. In this work the War Savings Stamps come as a powerful appeal to the very soul of every individual, it is the one way in which every man, woman and child can give expression to their patriotism. None are too poor to cooperate in this great work, so let us buy and talk War Savings Stamps wherever we go. Get inter ested. The firing is all up and down the line, and when it is all over, let it be said that "Polk county hath done what she could." W. F. SWAN. W. S..S. PEA RIDGE.

Every patriotic citizen of America and Polk county should keep a few profitable hens, especially during war times' to furnish the home supply of meat and eggs. Polk county is the first county in the state of North Carolina to secure the One Day Schools from the office of Poultry Investigations and Path ology, N. C. Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N. C., to be conducted by Mr. J. E. Ivey. The One Day Schools are to be held at the following places: 1. Tryon, N. C, September 16, 9 a. m., all day. 2. Greens Creek High School, Sep tember 17, 8 a. m., all day. 3. Mill Spring School House, Sep tember 18, 8 a. m4 all day. 4. Sunny View ; School September 19, 8 a. m., all day,1 5. Columbus N. C, September 20, 8 a. m., all day. ; The school committee in each school district where these schools are conducted is recognized as a Poul try Committee, and largely on them will depend the success and usefulness of these schools. The above committees assisting the county agent are responsible for all the necessary arrangements for the meetings, having a good attendance, stir up enthusiasm and other things to make the schools a success. Every man woman and child in reach of these schools whether from town or country should avail themselves of this opportunity to learn more about poultry and what the poultry indus try will mean to Polk county. The following subjects will be dis cussed in full. The proper methods to use in culling out the non-producing hens in your flock. The proper way to msie, youfc &irs!s. How to care for your young chicks. Feeds for the young and adult birds. Housing problems. The advisability of organ izing a community egg circle. Some time will be devoted to disease of birds and how to treat them. How to get rid of lice and mites. At the close of the days' school Mr. Ivey will go to a nearby farm and give a practical demonstration of "Culling the Farm Flock. The poultry committees should go to work, get a good attendance to these meetings and strive to make Polk county one of the leading poul try counties in North Carolina and of the entire South. J. R.

Kruse m hunt of a still. He found it near the home of Kruse, on' the Tomlinsqn land. Further inves tigation led to the discovery of sever al barrels of apple pomace in Kruse s garage, which he claims were to be used in the manufacture of vinegar, but Mr. McFarland thinks differently. It has been reported that large quan tities of "Apple Jack" were being sold in Tryon, and the revenue men have been trying to locate the source for some time. The still was a thirty gallon capac ity one, copper and erected in good eshape, and showed signs of having been previously run. 1 1 r - 'if
