"PLANTING DAY" in N. C..
Gov. Beckett Issues Proclamation
Calling on People of State to OBJ

Gov. Beckett Issues Proclamation
Calling on People of State to OBJ
serve April as Planting Day
Governor Beckett issued on the
18th the first proclamation Of his
administration, call for the peo-
pie of the State, especially those in
the cities and towns, to observe April
5 as planting Day.. He declares
that "The conditions that now con-
front US appeal for activity On our
part with peculiar and compelling
power.
"The world war has drawn to the
battle line millions of those who in
times of peace go forth and sow
and China and the United States are
about to swell the legions who fight
and must be fed. The boil weevil is
marching from the South to North
Carolina and full cribs and smoke
houses are sure and safe defense
against the coming of this pest.
He reviews the special advantage
the revision of the crop lien law is
intended to have for the small farm
er and the necessity for raising home
supplies by all classes of farmers.
The proclamation then designates
April 5 as "Planting Day" and asks
all mayors to call the towns-people
together that day and set on foot
means of having every vacant lot in
and adjacent to the town planted in
grain, grass, peas or potatoes"
All farmers organizations are
asked to meet and counsel members
to heavily increase their food and
feed crops this year; all landlords
insist that tenants plant ample feed
and food crops for families, and live
stock; all merchants and bankers
counsel customers engaged in farm
ing, to increase acreage planted to
feed and food to such extent, at least.
that they will not have to buy any
such supplies.
"The times are troublous. No man
can say what an hour may bring
forth, but if We shall act with pru-
dence and diligence the meal will
waste not, nor will the oil fall" says
the Governor in conclusion.

When Lumberton Citizens Show a
. Way
There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail
to heed the words of a neighbor who
has found relief. Read what a Lum-
berton citizen says:
4. E. G. Britt, prop. blacksmith &
maci..22e sshl.oonn, 908 E. Second ST.,
Lumberton, 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
could not move for several minutes
After stopping, 1 found it almost i'm
possible to straighten. Mornings,
felt worse and I could handy craw
out of bed. Nv back ached almost
all the time, so l couldn't rest nights
1 doctored and tried different medi
eines, but felt no better until I uset
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Nc
Donald's Drug Store. After I hat
finished one box my back felt a
we'll as ever and has caused me bu
little trouble since. Whenever m
kidneys are not acting just right,
few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills fl
me up in good shape"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the sam
that Mr.. Britt had. Foster-Milbur

bulletin shows how 95 per cent of
the membership in country churches
are from farming families; that
these churches have their best chance
for success in a farm population that
IS not shifting about from place to
place; that the farmers church
strengthens the habits of family life
upon which successful farming de-
pends; and, that agriculture is a
party to the rural church problem
for the reason that in the national
struggle to unite farmers into sue
cessful producing and business
groups, the rural parish is a force
whose pull is felt by local agricul-
ture.
This bulletin also gives the story
OF country pastor, John Frederick
Oberlin, who spent go years in a
single parish, graphing with the
many problems Of community life.
1t is said that no single piece of lit
erature equals the story Of this mans
life as an Interpretation of a coun-
try minister's social and economic re-
lation to his parish.
