BUY A LIBERTY BOND.

In addressing the soldiers OF the
national army, President Wilson said,
"The' heart of the whole country is
with you" Where the heart is. there
will the treasure be, and the money
of the nation will be back of tnem
too. The Liberty loan is to be used
to arm, equip and maintain our SOL
diers, to prepare them for the conflict
in France and make them as effective
and powerful as possible, and safe
guard them in every way possible. 1t
will also be used to give them life and
indemnity insurance and provide for
their dependents. The uses OF the
Liberty loan appeal to every patr1-
otto American, for it is used for our
soldiers and sailors and the prlrcl-
pies which they uphold,
Every person whose heart is with
the soldiers and sailors wants to back
them with his money, but maybe there
are some who have neglected to buy
a Liberty bond because they are not
able to purchase a large bond. The
bonds are sold in denominations as
small as $50 in order to give the per-
son of small means a chance to make
this patriotic purchase. If you can
not buy a larger bond, buy at least
one for $50.
There is no question about the pa
triotisn of the people Of Robson.
They simply have not gotten aroused
though, to the need Of supporting the
government in this second sale OF
Liberty bonds. 1t will not do to stand
back and expect the banks to take
care of the entire issue. 1t is es-
pecially desired that the people OF
small means everywhere and the peo-
pie of the rural sections manifest their
patriotism by buying these bonds. You
can buy on easy payments and so 1t
is possible for almost every one, at
least all who are not in needy cir
cumstances, to purchase bonds OF
some denomination, $50 or more. And
it is the safest investment in the
world. The government does not ask
you to give the money, it simply asks
YOU to invest it at interest.
The young men who have been Sc
lected for army service are giving up
everything for their country and ours
Surely we who are left at home ought
to back them with our money and buy
Liberty bonds until it hurts" as Sec
rotary Baker put it the other day.

Make this lotion for very little

What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemisies; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty! But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irrita ing,
and should be mixed with orc ard
white this way. Strain throug,, a
fine cloth the juice Of two fresh lem
oas into a bottle containing al out
three ounces Of orchard white, ien
shake well and you have a whole
quarter pint Of skin and comDlexio.a
lotion at about the cost enc usually
pays for a small jar Of Ordinary cold
cream. BE sure - strain the lemon
juice 50 20 pup gets into the bottle,
then this Lotion Will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the lace, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth

Any druggist will supply Tee
ounces Of orchard white at very lit

SO the story goes. When it was found
that the crook ali that time was going
his festive way, reaping where 9TH

NEED OF TEAM PLAY

That is the way President Wilson
expressed it the other day in speak
ing to a committee from a newly Or
ganized league that has for its pur-
pose the securing Of unity Of thought
in the nation in regard to the war. All
of us might as we'll settle down to the
conviction that there must be no peace
until Germany is beaten and the Unit
ed States and it's allies are in position
to dictate peace terms. There would
be more sense in patching up terms
of peace with band of cutthroats
and outlaws, leaving them time to
regain strength for perpetrating more
outrages, than in patching up peace
with the outlaw among nations. The
President says the people Of the Unit
ed States should keep the issue ever
in mind and remember that this war
should end only when Germany is
beaten and Germany's rule Of autoc-
racy and might is superseded by the
ideals of democracy. The cumula'
tive force Of the same thought anC
purpose in the minds of the people
of this entire nation is a power beyond
estimation. That mighty force SHOULD
be behind the men who are training
in America for the fight. There will
be no peace worth the name until tn
world is rid of it's plague-spot.

HEALTH WORK ON BROADER
SCALE.

Having derived the benefits of the
work of a whole-time health officer
for five years, Robson county now
takes hold of health work on broad
er scale and makes a long stride for
ward.
Details of the work were explained in
a news item in The Robesonian a week
ago and are further explained in to-
days paper. By increasing it's ap-
preparation an average of $722 year
for three years, the county gets from
outside sources an average of ST.
378 a year for the same length of
time, and the health work will be
carried on under this plan in such a
way that the people of every section
of the county should be able before
the end of the period to point out
special benefits they have received.
Medical school inspection work alone,
with its provision for treatment of
defective children whose parents are
not able to give them the proper
treatment, should be worth far more
than the added cost to the county. So
also with soil pollution work. 1t is
estimated that 20 per cent of deaths
in this section of the State are due
to diseases that are spread through
soil pollution. The campaign that will
be carried on to reduce the spread
of these diseases should be worth mil
lions of dollars to the county in the
coming years. Life extension work
and infant hygiene are no less impor-
tant.
g., The Robesonian expects great
things of this new phase of health
work. 1t ought to work great trans
formation in this great county dur
ing the next three years, and we con-
: fidently believe that it will. 1t is trite
to say that nothing is so important
as conserving the public health, but
most of us sleepily dismiss the mat
ter with that observation and continue
to blame Providence for deaths that
could have been prevented by intelli-
gent care, and to go about feeling on
ly half alive all the time, thanking
God that we are feeling so poorly
when we ought to be and could be sc
full of energy that we'd feel like
jumping over ten-rail fence. The
sort of health work that the county
commissioners in their wisdom have
provided for ought to kick into ever
lasting oblivion some of the old ideas
about health and preventable diseases
So The Robesonian. feels like Civ
ing the glad hand to the county com
missioners, each and several The,
have shown that they are wise il
their day and generation. When
good thing is presented to them the,
grab it. This new health work is
recent instance. The employment O

agent is another. In these moves the
have shown the new progressiv
spirit that is permeating the grea
old county today and that is an earn
est of greater days.

HELP WIN THE WAR
You Can Help by Contributions
to the Local National Aid-How
Business Men and People in
Rural Sections Can Help.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
It seems to me that the people in
this part of our county do not realize
the vital Importance of the work
which is being done for the "great
cause" by the women Of the Nation
al Aid organization. Everyone does
not seem to know that on the hot
test days during the past summer,
once week a group of women were
standing over steaming jars of fruit
or vegetables to give or sell for a
small sum to the needy this winter.
Other women were meeting in the up
per room of store sewing during
these same hot days-sewing to send
the needed garments which our govern
nlent has asked to be sent to our SOL
diers. And meanwhile others have
been knitting mufflers, wristlets and
sweaters for the sailors on the bat
tleship named for our State-the
North Carolina. They have done all
this in an amazingly short time to get
the funds to carry on this work A
number Of them have canvassed the
town going from house to house So
Letting money and receiving it in
dimes and quarters or depending on
getting it by asking for it from the
merchants and other business men.
Can't we get money to carry on this
work by voluntary subscription We
ought to have the money to purchase
material without having to beg for
it.
Who in Lumberton will start the
list? There has never been more
generous lot Of men than those in
Lunlberton, both business and profess
sional men. But won't you give us
a certain amount a month and there

other material without having to

Power X Traction company 10 appear before him on Monday and show cause, if any. why a receiver for the concern should not be appointed. The order
 is the result of the strike of the street railway employees which is now on, and by reason of which none of the cars of the company are in operation on the street rail way lines of Seattle It is thought barely possible that cars may be placed in operation tomorrow or sun day, but in the event that they are not the order will surely be cn- forced on Monday After a receiver for the company is named the cars will be operated under the direction of the court.

SEATTLE.

The damage is chief Iy 10 the stern of tho boat. the steer ing gear being put out of commis- sion by the charge of an cighty-fiye ton whale. The battle took place on July 3, and since that time the whaIer has been trying to make port here with an improyiscd steering gear.
 The whale in question charged the ship after il had been harpooned, striking the stern end Of the vessel with tremendous impact.
