They would not send Colonel Roose-
welt to France to fight the Germans,
but he is fighting German sympathiz-
ers over here and doing good work.
Every time prominent man hobs up
with some reasonable utterances the
Colonel whacks him over the head.
And the other day in New York,
speaking at a mass meeting, he told
what sort of peace would make the
world safe for democracy. He said
it must be based on the complete ov-
erhtrow of Germany and the dissolu-
ton Of Austria and Turkey. "The
only peace we can accept" he declar'
ed, ''is the peace of overwhelming
victory" Spoken like scholar ano
a gentleman and patriot. Any 9th
er peace would not be worth the
name. The imperial German govern
ment deliberately started this thing
and the imperial German government

BUY A LIBERTY BOND.

Buy Liberty bond--buy as many
as you can. 1t is a good investment
and you can buy on the installment
plan. And the government must have
the money to carry on this war to
successful issue. Secretary Nc
Adoo speaks words of truth and Sob
erness when he says that for the
Liberty loan to fail would be more
disastrous than for American troops
to lose great battle. Robson peo-
pie apparently are not taking the in
terest in this loan they manifested
In the first loan. This is every bit
as important. And the interest in
this second Liberty loan, and deter
mination to make it an overwhelm-
ing success, should, if anything, be
greater. Many young men of the
country already are in training camps.
Soon they will go to France to fight
They must be fed and clothed and
thoroughly furnished. That cannot
be done without money. But the gov
eminent does not ask you to give it
1t merely asks you to lend it to the
government, with the best security in
the world, and it will pay you fou,
per cent interest on your money. Some
who bought bonds of the first loar
may not be able to buy of the second
but there are many others who ar,
able to buy. You cannot put an.
money you can spare to better use
and it is worth making sacrifices t,
buy.
Buy a Liberty bond today and lie
your money help to bring the war t
a speedy and successful issue.

Every day ought to be fire-preven-
ton day with everybody, but that that
is not the case is amply proven by
the number of fires that occur, more
than half of them due to careless
ness. Tomorrow, October 9, is set
apart for Statewide observance as
fire-prevention day, and it is to be
hoped that bringing the matter thus
sharply to the attention of everybody
will make succeeding days fire-pre-
vention days too. Mayor Proctor
calls upon citizens Of Lumberton to
observe the day and to clean up prem

SELECTIVE SERVICE MANUAL.

A book which it would seem every
man who is enrolled under the selec-
tive draft law for military service
would want to own and study is "Se-
lective Service Manual" by A, L.
James, Jr., captain fifteenth cavalry,
u. S. army. 1t is manual of ele-
mentary drill and physical training
prepared especially for men register
ed under the selective service act.
Chapter headings give one an idea
of the scope of. the work: "Sugges-
tions to Men Registered Under the
Selective Service Act; physical
Training (Setting-Up Exercises;
Elementary Infantry Drill'; Gle
mentary Cavalry Drill"; "Useful In
formation. Under these general
heads there are many sub-heads. In
the introduction the author says:
"This little volumn is prepared pri-
marily for the benefit of the men who
will be called to the colors. By a
careful study of it's contests before
reporting for duty, they will get some
idea of the primary training that will
be given them, and by so doing will
not only greatly facilitate the work
of their instructors, but also will
make their own tasks much more sim
pie. The man who knows even a lit
tie about the elementary work will
be shining light in the sea of dark
ness" The book is of handy size
easily fitting the pocket. 1t contain:
information of interest to others be
sides those who will be called to tn,
colors. The chapter on physica
training alone is worth the price O
the book. By following the instruc
lions given in that chapter many

vert himself into a strong, fit an
vigorous man. 1t is published b.
