ONE OF THE GREATEST
 SENSATIONS OF THE WAR The Swedish Government Has Been Rated Strongly Pro- German.

London, Sept. 9.-The Washington state departments revelation that a Swedish diplomat in Argentina acted as an Intermediary for transferrine German messages to Berlin has creat- ed one of the greatest international sensations of the war. The develop ment itself is not, however, a great surprise, the chief surprise being that the American officials were able to ob- tain the messages as they did the Zimmerman note last winter regarding German overtures to Mexico
 Rated Strongly Pro- German.
 The Swedish government, with the monarchy, the aristocracy and the army officers. has been rated strongly pro-German throughout the war, and Queen Victoria in several public ut terances has proclaimed her German sentiments as strongly as any Ger man could. The Swedish people, on the other hand, are reported as lean ing strongly against Germany in the more recent stages of the war; par ticularly since the unrestricted subma- rine campaign began. Sweden's lean- ing towards Germany was considered a natural complement towards her old fear of the Russian autocracy, but the entente nations held the hope that when the cause for that distrust was removed by the revolution Swedish

Men Welcome
Mothers Friend

The husband is often worried over
the condition of his wife during her
period Of expectancy. Husbands who
procure for the expectant mother a
bottle Of "MOTHER'S FRIEND" will
find that they have aided to a very
great degree in relieving much of the

at the crisis. The muscles expand
easier and by aiding nature in its
prenatal work, the mother will expe-
rience much less pain.

reliable, 1t is the prescription Of a
famous physician, and has been used
for three generations. Applied ex-
ternally night and morning by the
mother-to-be herself.

RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS

Sane Drivers Would Not Care If
Somebody Would Shoot Up the
Fool Drivers, Who Bring the Whole
Tribe into Disrepute
People living on the Creek road,
between Lumberton and Drum, which
is a part of the Wilmington-C Charlotte
highway, say it is almost dangerous
to travel the road with a mule or
horse. The fact is so many
people driving automobiles seem to
speed up, instead Of slow down, when
they are about to pass someone. An
other man living On the road COM
plains that the automobiles have
killed many of his crop of spring
chickens. While this gentleman did
not say so, you could tell from the
tone of his voice that he has about
reached the point where he would
delight in taking shot at the next
man who carelessly runs over one of
his chickens.
1t is a violation of the law to run
an automobile over rs miles an hour
on a public road, and if there was
no law there should be more common
sense displayed than is shown by
many auto drivers.

The Food Conservation Meeting at
Pleasant Hope

Reported for The Robesonian.
There were about 100 men, women,
boys and girls at Pleasant Hope to
hear Mr.. Scott of the A. and E. col
lege and Mr.. w. P. Barker Monday
.. m. Mr.. Barker told the purpose
of the meeting and cited the serious
ness of the present crisis.
Mr.. Scott, raised on a farm in AL
amance county, impressed his audi
ence at once, for they soon found he
practices what he breaches. Anoth-
er thing that impressed Mr.. SCOTS
hearers was his being so young, still
so experienced. He said when he was
cows on his fathers farm. He told
that at his fathers they had 500
jars of canned stuff now, and never
think of canning less than thousand
jars.
Mr.. Barker said he was going to
see Mr. Scott, and asked him could
he take anyone else that he knew of
who was near starving.
Not only that, Mr.. Scott says in a
recent week 40 dozen eggs and $40
worth of chickens were sold from his
fathers farm. But isn't this western
N. c. thrift? Can it be imported in
to Robson? We hope so. Maybe
Mr.. Scott will take it into his head
to live in Robson. We hope so.
Surely, we can't spare such a young
man as he to go to the trenches!
After the talks of Messrs. Barker
and Scott a round table discussion
was engaged in, which was very ben
eficial, as lots of ideas were exchang-
ed. A committee of women was ap.
pointed, with Mrs. w. w. Lewis as
chairman, to correspond with Mrs
Eubanks and have her come to Pleas.

liable service in distributing the pos
tiers and advertising the meeting il
