bURSO|V AGAIN IN
 THE FAVORED CLUB

Claude B. Burson will leave tonight for New London. Conn.,. where the convention of the Two Hundred Thousand Club" of the New York Life Insurance company will be held, be- ginning September and lasting four days. Mir. Burson annually has made this club, almost ever since he began his service with the company In order to qualify for it, an agent must have written in the preceding year insurance to the amount of S200,00 paid up pro rata. That means some thing more than a mere showing of having written $200,00O. It takes about $250,000 of written insurance boiled down to qualify one for mem bership in the club.
 Mir. Burson will spend a day in Chi cago on his way east. His return will be made after a visit to Boston by boat to New Orleans. He will spend a short time with his mother at San Antonio, Tex, returning to Phoenix about October 1

C[OTURE RULE TO
 CUATA|L DEBATES
 0N WAR TAX BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Tension in the senate's struggle over the war tax bill mounted so high today with the opening of the third week of de- bate that the leaders began paving the way for applying the cloture rule to curtail discussion and negotiations were set afoot with the hope of com promising the varying opinions over higher taxation of war profits and in comes.
 The senate spent the day in talk without action on the pending postage sections of the bill. They hoped to dispose of the one cent letter postage increase and the publishers tax pro- visions tomorrow but there was no certainty that it could be accomplished and the war profits section reached Wednesday,
 Petitions for cloture which tonight had more than fifty senators sigma tures-onlv few less than the neces- sary two-thirds to put cloture into eff fect-were circulated after Senator Simmons failed to secure unanimous consent to fix a date for final voting. Several senators signed with the un- derstanding that the cloture rule would not be sought unless a filibuster de- veloped. Presentation of the petitions is not planned by Senator Simmons for several days.
 In today's debate on the postage taxes. Senators Hardwick. Pomerene and McKellar led the attack on the bills provisions advocating higher postal rates for newspapers and mag azines. Senators Harding. Shoot, McCumber and others opposed higher postage rates. while Senators Borah, Townsend and others urged entire elimination of postage taxes from the bill.
 Senator Jones of New Mexico de- fended the action of the committee in levying postal tax. He declared the committee had no intention of adjust ing second class postage rates, but acted purely with the intention of rais- inG as much revenue as possible.
 The committees action was de-

Experiences Since leaving Lumber
ton in 1914-Some of the Boys
Cause Surprise
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
Will you allow me space in your
paper for few remarks? I left the
town of Lumberton, N c., in August,
1914, and went to Charleston, 5. T.,
where I applied for enlistment in the
navy, but was rejected on account OF
unproportionate weight. From there
l went to various places in North
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Illinois, and finally 10
Gated in indianapolis, Ind. Here, not
being satisfied, 1 applied for enlist
rent in the regular army and was
accepted for service in the infantry.
After one months training | took
the examination for the clerks school
and successfully passed the examina-
ton. l then had three months in
school, at the end of that time I got
special assignment to the coast ar
tillery stationed at Key West, Fla,
where I stayed until the latter part
Of March, 1917. I then transferred
to general service Inf. and went to
Jacksonville, Fla, for duty. Was
there only ten days when l went on
the road for canvass duty. At pres
ent I am in charge of the recruiting
station at Orlando, Fla.
I was out in the country this p. m.
looking for some slackers. It is re-
ported that We have sixteen in this
county, but at present I have list
Of thirteen (unlucky number for the
slacker).
was very much surprised to see
ir a recent edition of The Robson
ian that many Of my old comrades
and school chums, instead of offer
ing their services to their country in
this day of need, were trying to hide
behind skirts (getting married) to
avoid service. Boys of dear old Rob
eson county, are you slackers? Are
you men?
Below is a sample I have gotter
out in Orlando and find it is hell
| to my work.
HAVE YOU ENLISTED?
IF NOT, WHY NOT?

THAT BAD BACK

Do YOU have a dull, steady ache

For bad back and weakened kidneys
Lumberton residents recommend

T. G. Britt, prop. blacksmith &

says: 81 had more or less trouble
from kidney disorder for twenty-five
years. Sharp pains took me in the
small of my back and l couldn't move
for several minutes. After stoop-
ing, I found it almost impossible to
straighten. Mornings, I felt worse
and I could hardly crawl out of bed.
Ny back ached almost all the time,
and I couldn't rest nights. | doctor
ed and tried different medicines, but
felt no better until 1 used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at McDonald's
Drug Store. After 1 had finished
one box, my back felt as well as ev-
er and has caused me but little
trouble since. Whenever my kidneys
are not acting just right, few dos
es of Doan's Kidney Pills fix me up
in good shape" :.

WAR
Written for The Robesonian.

written 1OF 1ue hODeSOuaA.
War! war! war! is all we can hear,
War! war! war! far and near.
Weapons clashing,
Horses dashing.
Soldiers falling left and right,
VIII times ever be more bright?
Everywhere is preparation,
For the war with all the nations.
And it is prophesied by some,
How will times be in days to come I?
Whether sorrowful or whether glad,
Who can imagine them any way but
sad!
You may hear the battle cry,
You may see the banner fly,
Of each nation,
In this, the greatest war since Gre
alton.
And shall this country so progress
ingly stood,
Be stained again with the flow Of
blood.
Or shall the war cry suddenly cease.
And all be friendly with ever last
ing peace.
But peace now is likely to be,
Farther than any of us can see.
Despite the news that We can hear,
It may be far or it may be near.
And yet we hope in days to come,
Well win victory,
Bring peace into the hearts Of some
AS in past history.

SUMMER HYGIENE HINTS

State Board of Health Bulletin.
What we eat, what we drink, what
we wear make us what We are, es-
pecially in hot weather.
Probably, the first and fundamen-
tai rule for healthful living in sum-
mer is to keep clean, inside and out.
A bath every day is just about as es-
sential as breakfast or any other
meal.
The average person should drink
more water in the summer than in
the colder months of the year, to
supplement natures efforts to wash
the body through the pores. Drink
cool, but not ice, water. The great
est danger from ice water is it's ex-
cessive use. To persons who are ov-
erheated or who work in high tenn
peratures, ice water may be danger
Gus. It may produce congestion, bet
ter known as cramps Of the stomach.
Be careful in eating. Don't r.
mandize. Too much is worse than
none at all, especially in summer.
Eat fruit, and vegetables. Remem-
ber that a meat diet is heating. It
is like fuel under boiler that keeps
up steam for the engine.
In warm weather light weight and
light colored clothing. Discard heavy
dark garments. Don't hurry; start
little sooner. Be moderate in every
thing.
All kinds Of excess should be avoid
ed in summer. 1t goes without saying
that over-indulgence in alcoholic
drinks should be Stunned, summer
and winter. This is not advised
alone from the temperance view
point, but as we'll from that of the
highest physical welfare.

THE SONG OF THE PLOW

Read by VIM. Laurie Hill, before the
Press Association of North Caro-
lima at Morehead City, June 27-28,
1917.
List! What is it We hear at the
dawn's early light
AS old Nature awakes, at the suns
early rising?
He scatters his beams,-so efful-
gently bright
Bringing largess and light, SO de-
llghtsome, surprising.
'Tis song full of cheer-and it rings
true and clear,
The Plowboy is happy, has nothing
to fear.
AS turning his furrough, he break
eth the sod
Feeling sure of his harvest, as part
ner with God.
Now song birds are bidding adieu
to the night
Are so merrily singing, a song to
the morning.
How gladly they welcome the warmth
and the light
brought them the dawning.
So the Piow hath its song, lasting all
the day long.
'Tis a song without words-a sweet
cheerful song.
1t tells of the seeding-the blades do
appear
And at harvest We have the full corn
in the ear.
Oh! how barren the sod as it bakes
in the sun,
Until mellowed by alchemist touch of
the plowing.
The plow-point shines bright in the
shimmering light,
While through the green trees. the
soft winds are soughing.
Happy all the day long, joining la
bor' to song:
The Plow boy forgetful Of right O,
Of wrong
Sings with nature; is glad! where 81
| merry lad?
Why not join in the chorus and will
him be glad?
The world is awaiting the song Of tn,
plow.
| ana the bread line Is waiting tht
yield Of the Furrough.
And the half empty garners art
z waiting now,
The harvest that comes with some dis
tant tomorrow.
SO let Freemen be glad, though :
| world be now mad,
And things look as though thew haf
| gone to the bad.
Our Jehovah is just, and we look to-
ward the light,
For the song of the plow is proof o+
our might. v
Let the song of the p1ow be the sons
of today,
Making glad our Earth with the vielf
Of tomorrow.
