THE LURE OF
THE KHAKI CLAD
If You Could See Uncle Sans
Champions of Liberty in Uni
form it You'd Make Clear Your
Duty to Buy a Liberty Bond.
(By Liberty Loan Committee.)

(By Liberty Loan Committee)
There is something keenly inspir-
ing in the measured tramp of march
ing soldier feet, the dun of khaki and
the CLINT of shouldered rifles. Some
thing that brings lump to ones
throat and a mistness to the eyes;
something that stirs ones loyalty to
the traditions of our fathers and the
ideals of our country; something that
uuickens the heart throbs and sets the
blood pulsing at livelier pace; some
thing that loosens the purse strings.
Recently the Fifth regiment, pride
of Northern Ohio, left Cleveland for
the Montgomery training camp. AT
its head marched an escort OF Span
ish-American war veterans. A mill
Soldiers. A Boy Scout drum corps
played "Yankee Doodle. And thou
sands cheered them as they passed.
Beside the ranks marched heart
torn mothers, hurrying to keep pace.
Wives red-eyed and tremulous, cling
ing to loved arm for perhaps the
last time. Sweethearts, some just
from school, books under their arms.
And although there was much cheer
ing and hand-clapping, there was a
great pervading sadness and many
wet eyes.
Beside the soldiers monument in
the public square stood a veteran OF
the Civil war. "It makes ones blood
boil" he said, straight and grim for
the moment eff those boys could
march before the wealth of America
for one hour, there'd be no trouble
about money to send them"
And he was right. Were it possible
to line up the American public along
the road to France, with the khaki clao
soldier boys marching to Armaged-
don, the need of further appeal ir
behalf of the Liberty loan would van.
ish in a twinkling.
In Paris, the enthusiastic French
men fairly covered the path of the
first detachment of American troops
with flowers. And "a thoroughly
aroused American pepole would clut
ter the line of march knee-deep with
ten-dollar bills.
If you haven't seen Uncle Sam,
champions of liberty in uniform, g
to the nearest training camp and lool
them over.
The pull at your heart strings will
loosen the grip on your pocketbook.
1t will make clearer your duty t.
buy a Liberty bond.

TWO SHINING EXAMPLES
From Oakdale and Barnesvill,
Churches, Both in Robson.

('W. N. j." in Biblical Recorder.)
Both of them are in Robson coun-
ty.
The first one is at Oakdale church
The people of this community have
been struggling to build a house. Dr.
R. T. Allen writes me this word about
one of the members: "Brother Ivey
borrowed the money and gave a mort
gage on his farm and paid the church
debt, and that amount is still against
the old brothers farm. Last Mon
day morning Brother Ivey, his two
sons and the pastor of the church,
Brother Paul Britt, came to my office
and this is what they told:
Brother Ivey planted eight acres of
tobacco and sold the crop for $500,
and paid all his debts and had ST.
900 in bank and he told the church
in conference last Saturday that if
any of the members wanted to help
him pay off the debt all right, but
if not, he would pay the entire amount
himself.
Subscriptions amour ing to $4,000 to
be paid during the month of Septem-
ber were taken on the strength of his
statement and some who were not
present. are TO De seen De1Ore the next
conference. Brother Ivey talked very
humbly about it and said he could
not carry any of it with him, and so
he wanted to send it ahead"
One man Of the Ivey type in a COM
munity is Of value beyond human fig
ures.
The other example shone forth at
Barnesville. Here is a letter from
Pastor John R. Miller:
! Enclosed find check for $53.14
which you will have credited as fol
lows: foreign missions, $40; home mis-
sions, SIS; State missions, SIS; Chris
ton education, 1914.
'This gift was made by young
man, Mr.. E. T. Lewis of Barnesville
n. c., who has a family of small
children, and is just what you might
say, starting in life.
HE said that he promised the Lore
last spring to give the tenth of two
acres of land. And this $53.14 is one
tenth the net income from the tive
acres"
How glorious if all our Baptis
throngs had the spirit Of Ivey ane
Lewis!

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD
One Over on the Conductor.

It was a new one on me. A lady
boarded the train and was carrying
a travelling bag. I could never have
guessed what was in the bag. Can
you? Had it been man carrying
the "grip" you would say at once that
it contained a quart or two. | know
you are not going to guess what was
in the bag, so l might as we'll tell.
It was a poodledog. Soon after she
came on the car I noticed that she
opened the bag and a peep revealed
the fact that therein was dog. The
bag and never moved or made the
least noise on the train. When tire
conductor came through the lady
would close up the bag and then when
he had passed on she would give him
fresh air. You know it costs Is cents
to check dog and it is a violation
of the law to take them on passeng-
er cars. The lady and cthe dog to-
gether were putting one over on the
conductor and the law.
A Question of Birthdays.
"How old are you?" was the ques-
| ton a gentleman asked the reporter
the. other day. "Twenty-six," was
the reply. 81 am u years old and
fought in the Civil war and still you
have had more birthdays than l have
had," the gentleman continued. Flows
that?" the reported inquired. "Well,
it's true and l can prove it," said the
gentleman. "Well go on and do it,
the reporter demanded. "I was born
on the last day of February on leap
year" He was right.
| Plenty Large.
1t is said that selected men who
go to training camps are given shoes
one number larger than they are ac-
customed to wearing. One young man
who went from Luniberton to Camt
Jackson wanted to be sure that his
shoes were plenty large, so when he
was asked what size shoe he wore he
told the officer 9 when as a matter
of fact he had been wearing eights
The officer gave him pair of tens
and the young man is wearing then

Importance of Saving Good Seed

West Raleigh, Oct. 1.-THE present
high price Of all farm products is like
ly totake large portion of our seeds
to market early. This will cause
shortage Of good planting seed next
spring. The grower who fails to save
good seed this fall will have to pay
high price for inferior seed next
spring. Let's begin right now to
save seed from our most productive
plants. The following are simple rules
to follow in the breeding Of all crops
l.. Save seed from plants that are
productive and of good quality.
2. Allow the seed to ripen thorough
ly on the plant.
8. Seed should be thoroughly dried
before storing.
4. Seed should be stored in a drv
place, well protected from rats, mice
and bugs.

Selling Some and Holding Some.
Judging from the way farmers are
pooling cotton about their homes, they
must be inclined to hold on to it re-
gardless Of the present prices. Most
of them are selling some and holding
