COMPANY E ORGANIZATION

The organization of Company E
last Thursday evening upon the occa-
sion of its having brought the COM
panv enlistment up to its required
strength of sixty-fve men, was the
event of a fine turn out at the Audi
forum.
Of course the boys of Company E
were the center of attraction on the
stage, though a feature of the eve
ming not to be overlooked was the
Milton band, here for the third time
within the past month to generously
help Langdon make a fitting show IF
patriotism. The speakers who took
part in the exercises included Hon.
Robert Laing, of the board of county
commissioners, Attorney George M.
Price and Judge w. j. Kneeshaw all
of whom did a full share to imbued
the large audience present with the
right amount of patriotic spirit. Ow-
ing to the week being, as it might be
termed, overcrowded with events along
this line it is impossible to give space
to a full report of a meeting that
packed the Audience to capacity.
Captain Ross was present and called
upon to acknowledge the round after
round of applause that his presence
created. Mayor Power in a few tit
ting words expressed his feelings in
an occasion of such impressive impor-
lance and then turned the program
of exercises over into the hands of
Mark 1. Forkner, who is a Spanish
American war veteran and has figured
with prominence in getting Langdon
recognition in the organization of the
Second Regiment. 1t was a highly
enjoyable affair that will have a place
in the memory of all who were there
for a long time to come.

DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD

"Taxes in Great Britain are heavier

over there is prospering more than

posits in savings banks have increased
enormously.
"Just as soon as wealth in our
country accustoms itself to the con-
ditions of war it will awake to find
it has suffered needless fright.
"Then the values of securities, which
have been ruthlessly sacrificed, will
recover their equilibrium, for with US
no wealth has been destroyed; rather
has it increased in considerable de-
gree.

the latent pride of our people to an
admiration for our SOL

packed to the curb with interested
spectators. 1t seemed as if all of
Charlotte had turned out-and indeed
it had, for there was total suspension
of business-and the home crowd was
augmented by hundreds from neigh
boring communities. The parade
made a deep impression upon the peo
pie who, for the first time, were given
opportunity for visible manifestation
of the wonders that this country is
doing in the organizing of an army
that in efficiency and personnel has
no match in the world. Admiration
for the excellent results Of the train
ing the men have undergone and have
been responsive to was partly lost in
admiration for the splendid physique
of these men from the northwest. AS
body they present splendid aggre-
cation of physical manhood. Tall of
stature on the average, they are

CONSERVING BREAD AND MEAT

Every citizen now realizes that the
two things in our food supply that
must be conserved are bread and meat.
This can be effectively done not only
in their economical use but also in
using proper care to protect and
guard the supply.
It is needless to say that now is
the time of all times when live stock
should be carefully protected from
disease. A loss of hogs or other live
stock of the meat producing classes
is not only a loss to thc owner but
it is a direct decrease in the food
supply which should have such care
full guarding at the present time.
A loss of food grains from impro-
per care is another instance of loss
in the food supply. All food grain
should be watched very carefully to
see that it is remaining in proper
condition. Food grains should not be
threshed and stored until they are in
proper condition to store safely.
In many cases during the past few
months there have been severe losses
of meat producing animals and food
grains by fire. AS part of our
program of economy greater pre-
caution than ever before should be
taken to prevent fires. Only in this
way can the losses of bread and meat
to the public be prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in all cases that
even the owner can protect himself
by insurance, and in no case will in
surance protect the public. Just now
the public is interested in the bread
and meat itself and not in it's value.
While every one of our citizens must
be protected against loss by any
means available to him, yet in ad-
dition to that it is his patriotic duty
just now to protect the bread anc
meat supply Of the nation by pre-
venting it's destruction if possible, be
cause any food grains or meat ami
mails that are destroyed are entirel,

How many of us realize how much
the other fellow can help US achieve
what we are working for?
How many of us realize how much
we will help ourselves by boosting our
competitor instead of knocking him?
To those of us who do not, the
above picture, from Armour, will carry
its own message. No amount of rea-
soning or logic could show any more
clearly and definitely just what CO.
operation means.
Let's all apply it to our own busi-

THEN ACT.
The Star prints the above lesson in
order to convince some of the most

poses, ambitions and work are dog
gedly set up on one certain thing
elimination of all caste, prejudice and
inequality for every one-or certain
things of uplift to humanity, and what
a unified action can do. This lesson
applies to Negroes who patronize
others than their own in business,
even if you or they don't like the
man or men running in business.
Patropize him or his competitor OF
color. Every nickel taken from the
business and professional man of color
only weakeus him and strengthens the
chains OF prejudice and unfair com

helping the race who least need your
help. We are our own masters, if We
would rightly and intelligently use
what means which are ours. Think
of 100 Negroes putting 81 aside a
month in colored company or in a
bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle,
chickens. turkeys and Belgian hares
and putting those animals on the
ranches of our Negro farmers, what
would it mean in two years to the
