Some weeks ago, at the time when
the Hon. John Sharp Williams re-
moved the cuticle from that wild and
erratic, yet able man, Toilette, a
Laurinburg banker, Mr.. A. L.. James,
was moved to write MIR. Williams in
admiration of the performance. Mr..
James did not expect a reply from
Mr.. Williams, but the reply came,
all the same, and out of it The OBJ
server is able to get some informa-
ton as to Mr.. Williams antecedents
which will interest North Carolinians
in general, for it appears that the
Mississippi statesman's heels are
we'll tarred. "I like to hear from
Tar Heels, anyhow" he wrote Mr..
James, because my Sharp forbears
and my Williams forbears came from
that State. My grandfather Sharp's
father served in the American Revo-
luton from that State, first as an
ensign and afterward as major. My

Danger for Army Surgeons

In modern war the number of ar
my surgeons killed is lsI ger in pro-
portion than of men on the firing

astonish most people, who do not
know that the work of the medical
corps is a post of so much danger.

fields, and stated that the proportion
Of doctors who were killed or died as
a result of the war was larger than
the proportion of men killed VINO
were engaged in-trench operations
and second only to the proportion

THE RESTLESS SEX

gins in July Cosmopolitan
"The Restless Sex" is the title Of
Robel, w. C1ambers's new n0tel, the
first lnstai!,:N Mt of which begins IN
July Cosmopolitan. .,z
After a short fereword, "Tfe Rest
less Sex" gets away to quick, typ
ical Chambers start.
"About decade before the Great
Administration began, a little girl
was born," are the exact words in
which Mr.. Chambers introduces his
latest heroine, Stephanie Quest.
The father of little Stephanie was
an itinerant actor; the mother, an
uneducated and very young girl who
tinted photographs by day and did
fancy skating at an ice palace IN
Utica by night. From this unprom-
ising start, and from sordid early
childhood, Stephanie emerges like
one Of those rare, beautiful flowers
that sometimes take root and flourish
in the mire of poverty.
It is too early in the story to fore
cast the ultimate destiny Of the char
acters, but if performance holds true
to promise, 'The Restless Sex" will
surely add another laurel to Mr.
Chambers's already crowded wreath

A SOLEMN WARNING

In Sheer Self Defense Every Town
Must Organize to Solve the Prob
lem of Markets for Locally Pro-
duced Food and Feed Supplies
University News Letter.
- A recent article in the Saturday
Evening Post by Herbert Quick, a
member OF the Federal Land Bank
board, sounds a solemn warning in
the ears of city dwellers in this
country.
It ought to catch the eye Of robust
thinkers in our city business centers,
and stir them to activity along con-
structive lines.
AS Mr.. Quick says, it is mortal
strange that cities spend millions to
control their water supply and give
neither time nor money to the con-
troll of their focd supply.
Every City must now be the center
of a we'll developed food producing re-
gion. In sheer self-defense, it must
organize to solve the problem OF
markets for locally produced food
and feed supplies.
The farmers in the trade territory
of every southern city are amply able
to produce the standard farm crops
that are necessary for home con-
sumption-the meat and milk, the
butter and eggs, the grains, hay and
forage, the fruits, vegetables, and
flowers; but they are never likely
to do it until they can turn these
food products into instant, ready cash
in the nearby town at a fair price
and profit.
The Critical Problem
Our cities would be foolish to side
step the problem Of local markets for
home-raised food supplies. There is
no better way Of cutting out useless
middlemen than by lessening the dis
.tance between producers and con-
sumers. Bringing consumers anc
producers together for mutual ad-
vantage is, in a word, the problem
of local markets.
This subject has been treated il
detail in the booklets issued by the
Winston-Salem Board of Trade, anc
the Union National Bank, Charlotte
In our opinion, keeping open the
channels of trade in local territories
is more effective than fixing mini.
| mum and maximum prices bv law
Of course, conspiracies in restraint
of trade, particularly in food anG
fuel, is a matter that ought to be
covered by very definite law and very
effective legal machinery. Meanwhile
in this important matter Congress
treats US to a spectacle of double.
shuffling and delay.

BONDS OR BONDAGE?
Baltimore Sun.

Dd1GlllOIc Suu.
The gifted "Girard" of the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger, puts the Lib
erty Loan proposition this way:
At the erd of a war which cost
Germany only half a billion dollars
Bismarck extracted just double that
amount from, France in an indemn:-
ty.
Germany kept an army in France
until the last dollar was paid.
Guess how big an indemnity the
Kaiser will collect from you and me,
England and France if he wins this
war?
It has already cost him more than
twenty times what his grandfather
paid out in the Franco-Prussian War.
On that basis We are already sure Of
twenty billions of indemnity.
Americas share would be at least
third, or, cutting off all trifles like
millions, would mean today S6,000,-
100000.
There you have a knockout argu-
ment for buying a Liberty bond.
If you don't buy a bond and win
the war you are sure to be forced to
buy two or three later on to give the
Kaiser.
Remember this especially: You are
only asked to loan your money to
Uncle Sam, but what you hand to the
Kaiser is not loan. 1t will be an
outright gift.
This is not fallacious statement.
It is as true as the eternal hills.
Bonds or bondage is the alternative.
Have you bought your Liberty Loan
bond?
