FARM FOR YOUR STATE AND
COUNTRY.


In war times produce more ami
save more. Make your labor efficient
Save your materials from waste
What War Means.
War means national efficiency or
failure; naional efficiency means ef-
licicncy of State and citizen, of city
and countryside; and countryside eff
licicncy means efficient housekeeping
and farming. In this great war we
have entered into, the food problems
loom large, for we must not only
feed ourselves. but help fcedour allies
as well, if we would defeat the COM
mon enemy. To do this, we must in
crease our harvests and conserve our
supplies. "The Countryside must pull
its weight in the boat; ii must pu.
it's back to it, and must do its hit"
Who Can Help?
Banks, Boards OF Trade, newspa-
pcrs, ministers and Various organi-
cations are responding TO the appeal
and are urging their constituents to
greater food production. Food, lust
as much as ammunition. will help win
this war and we must grow more
food in the fields. in .le homes, gar
dens and on the roof. Although the
people in some sections Of Virginia
have awakened To the necessity of
the hour, there Il re ether sectors
where dangerous apathy stu pre-
walls, and TO rthis reason the ENtcn-
sion division urges that:
Clergyman shall preach the doc
trine of more food and less waste;
The newspapers will continue to
stress it in their columns;
School teachers teach it TO their
pupils;
County Agents spread it among
farm houses;
Boards of Trade, Chambers of the
Commerce, rural community organi-
cations and womens clubs hold meet
ings to warn every householders;
Agricultural councils of safety use
every means to increase production,
conservation and economic use of
food.
Avoid Waste!
Waste is always bad, but now it is
Gisloyal TO waste an ounce OF food.
Statistics are never vcyr interest
ing, but some recently published by
u. S. Department of Agriculture
are startling in the warning they
carry

FINE PIECE OF WORKMANSHIP

If you want to see something
unique, worth while and out of the
ordinary. Just take a squint at the
show window of Shafer & Watkins
paint store on East East Third street.
In this window is depicted a scene of
the pioneer days that is out of the or
dinary-the old log cabin. the well
with the windlass and gourd cup, the
stumps of trees whose trunks have
been used to build the cabin, the
trees in the background and two OF
the members of the household at work
while the head of the house has just
been hit in the head with an arrow
shot by a skulking Indian. The scene
is truly wonderful inasmuch as 1t rep
resents three months of labor at
nights by Mr.. Charles Rayburn, of
Sixth street, employed as a carpenter
by the Limestone Lumber Company.
All the small articles were cut out
with pen knife. while the larger
pieces, such as the sassafras branches
used in constructing the miniature
cabin. were sawed out. The only ma
terials used in making the various OBJ
jects were wood, nails, a small
amount of paint and the goods used in
making the costumes of the people
represented.

MEANS IS FREED FROM CHARGE
OF SLAYING WOMAN

Concord, N. c., December 16---Gas-
ton B. Means, was acquitted here to-
day Of the charge Of staying Mrs.
Maud A. King, the wealthy New York
and Chicago widow. The jury re-
ceived the case last night but after
two hours deliberation announced a
verdict would not be returned until
today.
Mrs. King was killed at Blackwold-
er Springs, lonely spot in the coun-
ltry near here, August 20, last, when
with Means and party Of his friends
she had stopped on an automobile
drive to practice pistol shooting.
Means and the woman were alone
at the time, Captain W. S. Bingham
and Alton Means, brother of Gas
ton Means, having walked down the
road to shoot at rabbits.
A coroner's inquest accepted the
statement Of CASTOR Means that she
shot herself accidentally. 1t was not
until the woman's body was taken to
Chicago for burial that charges of foul
play were made. Then the coroner's
physicians declared that the wound in
the back Of the woman's head could
not have been self inflicted.
