FOOD CONSERVATION

Winning this war that means the
very existence of this the greatest ma
ton on earth, is as much the affair of
us who remain at home in peace and
plenty as it is the affair of those who
fare forth to meet the foe, the foe
that holds us in contempt as a ma
tion incapable of the sacrifices and
concerted action that we must come
to, soon OF late, in order to settle the
question, for good and all, of whether
we shall continue free to govern our
selves and work out our own destiny
as a nation in our own way or shall
weakly submit tothe rule of set of
irresponsible men who set God at
naught and regard the masses merely
as cattle fit only to serve them.
And it is very easy thing, a thing
that each one should do gladly for the
good of his soul, and for his own per-
sonal well-being, if for no other rea-
son, that we are called upon to. turn
our earnest and prayerful attention
to just at this time. For it is a faith
full saying, worthy of all acceptation,
that nearly all of us hoist more fuel
into our honorable tummies every day
than is good for us. Eat less and feel
better and be more efficient and live
longer, and die happier. "Tis a con-
summation devoutly to be wished"
Thelemltes all are we; we live in
an Abbey of Theleme. Well do as
we please, and be hanged to all the
exhorter to curb for the common
good our something too free conduct.
We've got plenty to eat, and, b'gosh,
well eat it. Let other people suffer
for bread, if they must. These things
come not nigh us, they touch us not.
Is not the larder full, or, if not, have
we not money wherewith to buy? Go
to, let us eat, drink and be merry.
A fools philosophy, that, a FOOLS
paradise. Any fool can be satisfied
to stuff himself to bursting, to feed
and sleep, sleep and feed, and reck
not what day may bring forth.
But 1T takes regular people to see
the danger afar off and make haste
to prepare for the evil day, to take
such measures that the evil day shall
not come nigh.
In Mondays Robesonian was print
ed the Save Food" card that is be-
ing distributed by the food admins
tration. That tells how all of us can
help win the war by saving all the
food possible, by avoiding waste, and
why thlsfs necessary. tits surpris-
ing the/amount of waste there is in
every home. Maybe each of us thinks
that is not true of our home; but bv
taking thought and observing more
closely we shall be vastly astonished
at the dreadful waste we allow every
day.
Waste is always sin, and now it
IS a crime, Rev. Dr. Greaves, pas
tor of the First Baptist church of
Lumberton, said in a sermon on food
conservation Sunday. And we leave
the subject with you with the exhor.
tation to read the report of his ser.
mon elsewhere in this paper and think
on these things.

county will rally to the county ag-

easily be done, if the people of the

tat they will. The people Of Robe

Crossbar taffetas, in soft weaves,
made up in simple designs, are among
the unpretentious afternoon gowns that
make an instant appeal to most wom-
en-. There are several models of this
character among almost every repre-
sentative showing of spring styles. The
silks appear in all the colors used this
season, with crossbars in fine lines Of
white. They look like fine ginghams
translated into silk. Designers take
their cue from this suggested likeness
and sort of playful resemblance to
an apron is evident in some Of the new
dress models.

DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
Barbarous Penal Code Was the Cause
of Many lrishmen Forsaking
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said "that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political OPP
preston and emigration" The treaty
of Limerick was signed October 8
1891, but despite the protests of King
William, who was apparently brave
soldier and an able statesman, the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap of paper. The odious, barbarous
prescriptive legislation known as the
penal code was in full swing shortly
after 100, and large contingents, rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and chivalry, began to fly to the con-
tinent of Europe and the shores of
America. These unhappy children of
10, maddened by the English gadf1y,
fled into all lands, carrying with them
memory that enabled them to recog
nize the gadfy wherever encountered,
and a spirit that prompted them TO
swat it remorselessy whenever it
crossed their path.

IRISH LOVE or EQUALITY
In Some Ways 1t Has Tended to Pre-
vent a Closer Unification of
the Great Race.

The art and literature of the Celt
naturally is pure, noble, moral, re-
fined and idealistic. Besides, his love
of equality has a leyeling effect, and
a tendency to uniformity of social and
economic ideals. This love of equal
ity has, however, prevented closer
unification of the Irish race in matters
vital to its independence as a separ-
ate and distinct people. Their sensi-
tiveness, it must be admitted, is the
real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valor, they lost their in
dependence; and mainly because of
this natural instinct, they cannot. and
never could accept conquerors or mas
tiers with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created a
new starting point for successful
dash and break for independence.
This sensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
not be dulled or dispelled by promises
made in extremes. You may clothe
the Irish in rags, as Curran said, but
they will not wear chains.
