Ira- wttli the aid of local iniUaive Mark the man who puts his political aspirations ahead of bis patrotism. He is an ally of the kaiser and should be interned for the period of the war. Politicians are in a dilemma as to whether to try to win the war or the next election while statesmen of every faith are urging that politics be put into , the background for the period of the war. The Politicians will begin to rep. lenish and punch the fires while true' patriots will exercise themselves to not allow political fervor to rise to sufficient temperature as to divert the public mind from the one common and gigantic task of winning the war. Listen close and see if some poli tician dont get on a stump and declare that if a certain man witn whiskers on his chin were in the presidential chair we would not be in this war. Maybe we would not have but it would have been in us before this campaign is over. All doubt as to whether we would have had to fight the kaiser on Ameri can soil if we had not met on an other field of battle must by this time be swept from the mind of all intelligent people. He is headed this way and we hold the balance of power that is to stop him and any man who throws a straw in the way of our progress against this monster enemy is both a traitor and a fool. The daily papers told the story Monday of a gun throwing ten inch shells a distance of 76 miles into Paris all, day Suuday. That U a sample of German inventive genius which we have to combat. It is just as well to take olT your coat and hang up your hat and go after the kaiser in dead earnest. If it is your part to go to the battlefield or the corn field or cotton field or in what ever portion of the battle you are called, get busy, but by all hush your mouth about what ought to be done and do what the leaders ask you to do. That's patriotism now. me i tely, In view of the possibility thit tt e supply of labor available, supplemented as it will be by the larf.e force of boys who are Join ing the U. S. Boys Working Reserve, may not prove sufficient to meet the demands, it is imperative that there should be built up an emer gency reserve large enough to supply passible demands. The health and comfort of million) of Americans, as well as th s fate of the wir, hing) largely upon our ability to raiai and harvest this ye ir a larger supply of foodstuff! than ever we have produced before. There is opportunity now fo" urban people sympathetically and constructively to ctudv the farm labor situation and to ren der assistance. In many towes and cities there are a,en who have had fanning experience, who are able-bodied, and who would doubtles be willing to fterva the Nation in th a field of Agriculture, at this time. Espe cially for the seasonal strain of planting, cultivating, and har vest:, it will not be too much to as such met to aid the far mers in the nescessary undertak ing of maintainingand if possi ble, supplementing the food supply in Order t ford tbe armies and to sustain the civilian population behind them. If the soldiers are willing to serve in the trenche, to dig ditches, build railroad?, and risk their lives, many civilains can well afford to spare a part of their time to serve in the furrows and in the harvest fields. If it appear that the farmers of a community or region are not able to secure the oecessiry labor by the usual methods, then the leader in tbe town or city immediately depen dent upon that region should or ganize, establish touci with representative farm leaders, and see If they cannot assist in olv ing the problem. In so doing they will nut only aid the farmers of the Nation, but they will vitally contribute) to their own well being and to that of their community. The farmers are willing to do all that they humanly can, but where their labor supply cancot be furnished from the ordinary sources, it must be recruited from those whose very sustenan ce depends upon the farmers. The soldier and the farmer are eager to do their full share; the soldier is taking chances of los ing his life, and the farmer is risking the labors of a year on lie chance of the seasons; both incur risks. Very many riilians are equally eager to do their share., but may not appreciate the opportunity to serve in the field of agriculture. Each com munity knows its own problem, and urban people, especially bus iness men, could co-operate ef fectively with the farmers and also render much assistance. and energy. On th other hand, the labor resource of any country or st ttn Insofar aa they can br s.iared from local needi, should at all times available to meet shortage. We are engag ed in a great common enterprise and the national crisis far trans. cendH any consideration. SAVE To make sure that there will be ample labor to cultivate and har vest the largest crops which Ameri can farmers can plant The U. 8. Public Service Reserve will create an Emergency Farm Labor Section. it will start soon a campaign to enroll at least five hundred thous and members for this purpose. R. L Ryburn, Shelby, is county chairman and Wiley H. McGinnis of Kings Mountain an enrollment officer. This force is to be essentially a a reserve. It will be composed of men who are ready to give from one to two days a week to work on. the farms in their neighior hoods up to those who can devote a month or more wherever they are needed. Me who are able to start at once and give all their time during the' greater part of toe farming season should not go into the reserve, but There is available a tios t of men who will.be able and glad to devote a par; of their time means' this summer to farm work if the country needs them. College students, professional men clerks and other employees who have vacations should be willing to give them this year to produc tive wo-k out of doors. Men who heretofore worked at - farming should be especially sought after Already employers i i many communities are netting together aid agieeing to give up some of their men for limited periods to work on neighboring farms. Canada, and lart summer in many places in this couutry, employers have been found who maieup the difference iu pay for men whom they released. This is not only patriotic, but in many cases is no uore than far- sighted self-interest, for the whole efficiency of a community must depend on the ability of the local farmers to raise an adequate food supply to meet local demands. , The farm labor problem is id vory large pu t a local problem which cannot be fully met oxcep Just before retl.ing next Sat nd ly night turn the hands of four clock aiound just oim hour thea uel up Sunday irovnlog nt six as usual. Keep this up until t'iu Inst Saturday night in Octo oer when you will turn the clock bark an hour. That meets th demands cf the new daylight saving law. And i'Vi a law too Trains will run on the new tinv , church will inset by U, L,uMne-n engagements will be met by it and all i in porta it business n acted by the clock as usual. The only requirement is to luru up the time one hour by to o'clock Sunday morning. We prefer the night before. Suppose it in eight o'clock when you get ready to retire just turn the clock to nine and go on to sleep, it will da the rest except o get you uted to waking an hour earlier. The object of this law is to save day light and thereby save fuel used in making artificial light aud for the double purpose of giving people who work by the deck an extra hour in the afternoon for gardan work etc. IS THE RECTJUIGE YOURS W io will claim the "Re 3 Ji''ce"? Whoeer will moy have it on conditions to be named i ti mo claim is filed. It's nice and brown and looks juicy for lair. It is almost In the shape of Swit zerland and has very raw edges ind rugged slopes. The mnali disc stuck thereon at a protrinint oromotory is strikingly designed It bears in colors the likeness of a goblet nearly lilted with sone thing red liko wine, a bunch ol asty looking (trapes and a dUb of goad looking fruit, ar.d the words ''Red Juice". It is a small pocket piece of genuine old plug obacco which has a dark brown smell and tooth prints and finger nail prints srouud about its va red and rugged edges. Is fi vours? It so coma and get it The hunk of Red Juice" was brought to the Herald office by a Mountain street gardener who found same near his chickeD housi door last week after he had blessed oot his f ock of he-is for not doing their bit in helping to win tho war. This gardener thinks the piece of plug too large for a boy-to can y and so says that it was evidently a grown man who bad carrying off his eggs atd who had heart enough to recompense In part by let vlng the small cut of the juicy article But. to his chagrin, the gardener dosen t partake of the juicy plug neither does any member of the family, so it was brought to nc to una me owner, wnoever iih been robbing hen nests and los ing tobacco may apuly for the Red Juice". The rouge, how ever, had one virtue. He didn't take the hons that laid the eggs but let them U.v on Hoover style. CHECK FLASHER CAUGHT Chief Duncan is somewlmt of detective. Last week he finished rounding up a check flasher who operated in this section U.-t fall: The man was here re presenting hluistlt as an Insurance man and a son of a preacher. He put up a good face and induced several citizens to endorse checks fo" him, the check returning to the endorsers for payment after the young man had departed our coasts. Ho left here and was heard of in other towns working the same game. - But he always made his escape. Chief Dancan struck a clue, which we will not give iway, and following it up located the man, John R. Stev enson, last week just about thtr time he had been landed iajail at Rochingharc forai pilar offen ses.
