MR.. BASTIN A HUSTLER

An Interior Journal representa-
tive had the pleasure of going
through A. H. Bastin's place of bus
iress at Lancaster Monday and he
was both surprised and pleased to
see what comprehensive stock he
carries. Everything in the building
material line is found in his stock,
from the smallest finishing rail to
the highest grade shingles. plaster
ing. brick, and in fact everything
that an up-to-date lumber yard could
have. Mr.. Bastin is Lincoln county
product and for a long time did a
big mercantile business at Crab Or
chard, while running a larpe saw
mill near by. Associated with him in
business at Lancaster are his sons
and the stvle of the firm is A. H.
Bastin & Sons and they make an ex-
ceedingly strong team. They buy all
of their lumber direct from the long
leaf rine belt of Louisiana and their
shingles from the coast. BY buying
this way these popular gentlemen
are able to get their goods so much
cheaper than if they bought them
from a jobber.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

The Germans announce the cap
ture of French position on froEt
of about one mile. They also took
800 prisoners. They have been un-
able to advance further, despite fu-
rious attacks, according to the Off
cial French communication, which
says that 1000 shells were dropped.
Disorders again have broken out
among the sailors of the Russian
Black Sea fleet to Sebastopol. They
are reported to be connected with
the retirement of the commander of
the fleet, and propaganda by reac-
tionary forces. The trouble is not be-
lieved to be serious.
All thoughts that Russia may con-
clude a separate peace must be set
aside, declared Albert Thomas,
French Minister of Munitions, on his
return to Paris from trip to Rus
sia. An offensive by the Russian
army, he said. is both a material and
moral possibility.
In Volhynia and Galicia, the Rus
slams have begun a strong lombard
ment of the German positions and,
it is believed, that this will finally
result in a determined offensive
against the Teutons. In France the
Germans have lost heavily in furious
attacks upon French troops, while
operations on the British front have
been brought to a standstill by un-
favorable weather
The amalgamaton of the Ameri-
can Clearing House at Paris, one of
the chief institutions for handling
the supplies furnished by America,
with the American Red Cross has
been decided upon by Gen. Pershing.
The French have retaken the
greater part of the territory north
east of Vauxailon which the army
of the German Crown Prince, re-en-
forced by picked men. captured last
week. The German War Office as
serts that in the Champagne district
the French have been compelled to
evacuate ground recently taken
from the Germans. Gen. Haig's
forces in France and Belgium have,
it is stated, effectually put down en-
emy raids. The Italians, in the Cor
devale Valley region, successfully
checked an Austrian offensive and
inflicted heavy casualties.
Belgium and Russia united at the
tomb of George Washington in pay
ing homage to the American patriot
and to the spirit of liberty and free
dom which his memory incarnates.
Lively scouting oprations between
the Russians and Austrians in Galicia
are reported from Petrograd, and
bayonet fighting occurred at Pre-
sovce.
Lens is being gradually hemmed
in by British forces, which would
shut off a great coal field from the
Germans. Successful raids have re-

of trenches in the western part of the

THE FARMERS OF THE COUNTRY
ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL
OF THE SITUATION

This year and next will be the big.
gest the farmers have ever had
Heretofore the farmers have been al
the mercy of the speculator. Today
the farmer is in complete control.
One and only one danger threat
ems him. 1t is the danger of scarce
and high money. High money will
not hurt. He can stand high money.
His profits are large. His danger is
scarce money and no money. Our
first duty is to our country. Our gov
ernment must be financed. The peo-
pie should and will do it. The money
loaned to the Government, whether
by purchase of bonds or certificates,
is dithdrawn for the present at least
from the available cash to be loaned
to other people, including, of course,
farmers.
Last week call money in Wall
Street jumped to 6 per cent. more
than double the rate in April and
nearly four times the rate in Febru-
airy 1916.
Mark my prediction-Before JAN
uary 1st, 1918, the farmers of the
country will be scrambling for money
on any terms.
In view of all this, we are making
farm loans or the same liberal terms
as heretofore; no increase, no
changes. But nobody knows what to-
morrow may bring forth. Today is
the only day We can promise. No fl
nancial concern is making promises
for any other day than today. If the
money you owe now is soon due and
it takes ali your this years surplus to
pay your debt, what are you going to
do to start next years crop with
buy stock and run your farm? Are
you sure that money will be plentiful
next year, or the next or for years
to come? Are you sure you can bor-
row from your neighbor, or your
bank at low rate of interest, on
easy terms, on long time? Two of
the Insurance Companies have al
ready withdrawn from the loan field,
until after the War; others may fol-
low.
If you need money to pay off your
lien notes, if you need money to op-
crate your farm, if you are in debt,
or if you want to buy more land,
and want money on easy terms with
attractive payments, protecting you
against war prices or depressions in
the money market / would like to
talk to you? 1t costs you nothing to
investigate. Call and see me, drop
me line, or telephone me.

LIKES THE TAR HEEL STATE

Mr.. John Lutes returned last of
the week from Goldsboro, N. c.,
where he spent two moonths with his
son, Mr.. Charles Lutes, who is doing
splendidly. The elder Lutes is very
much impressed with the Tar Heel
State and if he were younger STAN
ford would loose a good citizen to
that State. While away Mr.. Lutes
travelled over a good deal of North
Carolina and was both surprised and
pleased to find it such an agricultural
section. Near Mt. Olive, ID miles
SSlth of Goldsboro, he met farmer
who had just about completed the
digging and storing of 10000 bar
rels of Irish potatoes. The potatoes
were grown in rows four and a half
feet wide with row of cotton be-
tween them. He says that growing
cotton con be sold at 26c. Mt. Olive
is in a great gardening section. $780,
900 cars of beans. peas, strawberries
and potatoes will be shipped from
there this year. Mr.. Lutes also visit
ed Kingston. 26 miles East from
Goldsboro. He was there at barbe-
cue, which he says was one of the
biggest things he has seen in long
time. "The people are the most hos
pitable / have ever met and just
can't co enough for the visitor who
comes among them" he said. For the
barbecue 81 shoats had been prepar-
ed and fish by the barrel cooked.
Lager beer and cigars were as free
as the air. Everybody had a good
time and perfect order was preserv-
ed. Mr.. Lutes met Sheriff Edwards,
of Goldsboro. and was very much
impressed with him. He describes
him as big-hearted big man, who
loves his friends and does his duty
under any ard all conditions. The
potato crop is a big one around
Kingston and the yield is from 80 to
90 barrels per acre. They are now
selling at So to $40 PEI barrel.
