LET THE SUNSHINE IN!

1t pays to wear q smiling face
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our fr0wn.
Beneath the magic of q smile
Our doubts will fade away.
As mslts the frost In early spring.
Beneath the sunny ray.
1t pays to make q worthy cause,
By helping 1t. our own;
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts.
Oppressed with dull despair.
And leave in -darkensd lives
A gleam Of brightness there.
1t pays to give helping hand.
To eager. earnest youth,
To note. with all their wsywardness,
Their courage and their truth;
To strive with sympathy and love
Their confidence to win.
It pays to open wide the heart
And let the sunshine 1t.

WEATHER AND CROPS

Favorable weather conditions for
harvesting and threshing continued
and crops made good growth. Prac-
tically no rain fell and bright, sun
shiny weather prevailed. The har-
vesting and threshing of barley, oats
and wheat was general, with a salts
factory yield in most districts. Rang
es and alfalfa are in fair condition
and the condition of livestock is re-
ported to be satisfactory. Much i'm
provement in corn and ranges from
previous rains is noted in eastern
counties. Corn is caring nicely.
Early potatoes are being marketed
Potatoes are setting well in Greeley
districts. Beans are doing we'll and
the prospects for good crop of sugar
beets are excellent. Garden truck
is generally satisfactory, but it is
late. Tomatoes are promising. Ear
ly varieties of fruit are on the market
and Elberta peaches and Bartlett
pears are beginning to ripen. Much
damage to gardens, alfalfa and sugar
beets by hail is reported locally in
Morgan county.

Cantonment Camp Hospitals Badly ir
Need of Trained Nurses.

The outbreaks of measles at the
cantonments, followed by the result
ant complications, including pneumon-
ia, have increased the need for addi-
tional nurses at the hospitals estab-
lished in connection with the camps.
At least 500 trained nurses are wanted
at once.
After recent inspection trip to one
OF the camps with high sick rate the
surgeon general reported there had
been 5000 cases of measles. At the
time of his visit there were 800 cases
penumonia in the hospital.
The height of the measles epidemic
is over, but pneumonia does not de-
velop for some time after incidence Of
the measles, so a considerable num-
ber of cases of peneumonia may be
expected

IL CENTS Is MAXIMUM
PRICE FOR SUGAR
Dealers Are Warned That They
Must Put Their Price Within
That Figure-FoodC Control Law
Prevents Hoarding of Food Pro-
ducts.

Mr.. H. E. Stacy, food administrator
for Robson county, has received the
following letter, which explains itself
"To all County Food Administrators
"We have had complaints from sew
.eral points in the State Of exorbltant
charges for sugar and other food pro-
ducts. We feel that 10 or 10 1-2c a
pound for sugar affords the dealer a
fair profit, but until present condi-
tions are relieved Mr.. Page has fixed
lie as the maximum that might be
charged in North Carolina. If any
merchants in your county are charg-
ing more than that price for sugar
please warn them that they must put
their prices within that figure and ii
they persist in profiteering after hav-
ing received warning from you please
report their name and the circum-
stances to this office promptly.
"We desire to call your attention to
another condition. We have had in
formation from one county that q
number of consumers have purchased
sufficient flour to last them until the
next harvest. The food control law
is designed to prevent, and does for
bid, boarding by consumers and 1ndl-
viduals as much as by dealers, and
this office desires any definite infor-
nation it can secure regarding this
practice. Of course, the producer Of
wheat or any other food product is
privileged to have it ground and keep
it in his hands as long as he desires
but after it passes from the hands cf
the producer it is under the control of
the food administration and it is i'm
perative that no boarding be allowed.
Food commodities, where held by con-
sumers or dealers in amounts greater
than their requirements for a reason
able period, are subject to confisca-
ton and we do not hesitate to say to
you and you need not hesitate TO pass
the word along, that those who at
tempt to hoard foodstuffs and TO dis
arrange the whole food situation in the
country will be dealt with promptly
and vigorously.
"In any expression regarding this
matter be careful to make it clear that
the actual producer is excepted inso-
far as those products raised by him
self are concerned.

DENMARk'S FEELING
PINCHES FROM WAR

Copenhagen, Denmark. tCorrc-
spondence of the Associated Press -
Denmark, like many other neutral
countries, is beginning to feel the pinch
of the war. Foodstuffs and fuel are
becoming scarce and the government
has been forced to take steps to con-
serve supplies.
Rye bread, the usual bread or tho
country has since December I. been
mixed with 10 per cent Of barley. and
it is believed that the percentage will
soon be raised to 90 per cent.
Plans are under way to regulate the
consumption and price OF homegrown
sugar by The issue of cards, each per-
son being allowed one pound n week.
Houses and flats arc scarce. owing to
the cessation of building made ncccs-
sary by the increased price Of mate
rails. For some time past the mn
inequalities have been compelled &c
find shelter for many housclcss fam
lies in school buildings and in tenn
porary structures.
