EVERY LITTLE HELPS

A single slice of bread each day is
a thing so small as to be consider
ed not worth notice In most homes.
Any housewife who wastes no more
than that would doubtless think she
could qualify as being almost one
hurtred per cent efficient. But lit
tie things count up, and the wav this
counts up when millinos of homes is
considered is startling. By way of the
Greensboro Daily News we learn that
a department at Washington, moved
thereto by it's profound conviction of
the worlds needs, has made an esti-
mate as follows:
If every one of the country's 20
1000 homes waste on the average
only one slice of bread a day, the
country is throwing away daily over
14,OOO,OO ounces OF flour-over 875,-
O0O pounds, or enough flour for over
100000 one-pound loaves day.
For full year at this rate there
would be waste OF over 10000, 900
pounds of flour. 100000 barrels of
flour-enough to make a65, 900 600
loaves. AS it takes four and one
half bushels of wheat to make a bar
rel of ordinary flour, this waste would
represent the flour from over 7,O00,-
900 bushels of wheat. Fourteen and
nine tenths bushels Of wheat on the
average are raised an acre. It would
take the fruit of some 100000 acres
Just to provide single slice of, bread
to be wasted daily in every home.

HEATHER AS ROAD MISSION
ARIES
The Marshville Home rises to r

The Marshville Home rises to re-
mark:
"When Mr.. Stack wrote a letter
from China recently to his law part
ner, Mr.. John Parker, he was led to
say that the heathens could give
Union county folks some good lessons
IN road building. Inasmuch as turn
about is fair play wouldn't it be a
good idea for the neathens to send
some missionaries to this country to
convert us to good roads while we
are converting them to christianity? ?
We might make it pay to meet the
expenses of the heather good roads
missionaries by voluntary contribu-
ton just as we do when We send our
folks over to get them to embrace
the right kind of religion"
And that is not so much of slam,
either, as you might think, first off.
Ages and ages ago there were heath
ems who built roads that are the won
der of the world down to this good
hour. A few good roads heathens in
Robson county might work wonders.
The county has suffered much in the
past from the works of a few enlight-
ened ones who know all about road
work, and it ought to be ready pretty
soon to sit at the feet Of the heath

HELP THAT COUNTS

The fight to put Robson county
where it ought to be in the matter
Of food production, to put it where it
will feed itself instead of buying some
100000 worth of food yearly from
the West, is everybody's fight. Ev-
cry one should help. With some far
mers, trying to produce more food
and feed without the help of mereh-
ants and bankers may be like trying
to raise themselves with their boot
straps. The Progressive Farmer gives
illustrations of what business men
can do to help in this important
campaign that is now being waged in
R0beson:
"As concrete illustrations Of what
business men may do to help farmers
in the campaign for making the South
self-sustaining, we have in mind two
examples. We are advised that the
banks at Laurel, Miss, are extending
credit to the extent of $25,9OOto needy
farmers for purchasing seeds, fertil-
izers and feeds-the actual necessi.
ties for making a crop. The business
men there are also guaranteeing to
farmers without any obligation upon
the part of the latter, a price of not
less than 81 bushel for com and
peanuts ard 500 a ton for velvet
beans in the pod Of course these
are minimum prices, and more will be
paid if the market justifies it. Then
down at Corpus Christi, Nueces coun-
ty, Texas, in section which, like east
Mississippi and west Alabama, was
hard hit last year by adverse weather
conditions, we have another striking
example of what business men may
do. Here it is announced that "Seed
will be sold to the farmers at actual
cost, they to give note for the
amount drawing per cent interest.
The entire loan is to be obtained by
subscriptions from business men, who
will be paid back after the farmers
have made their crops" This is help
that counts"

The panic has got so bad until the

Yes, old Hog Swamp is just about
posted from end to end. They mean
to save their fish for themselves. But
if some of them had to live on the

Lumberton, R. 5, May 15-Ouc ser
vices Saturday and Sunday with the
church at Smyrna were all to the
good, if possible above the average in
interest and attendance. There were
many visitors who were warmly well
coined. Our protracted meeting there
is set to begin Monday, August 9Th,
with Rev. Hubert Hester of White
vile to do the preaching.
It was pleasure to visit our old
charge at Oakton and conduct a SER
vice Sunday afternoon. 1t was coed
to be there again. For four years we
and always felt the better for going.
Crops along the way are coming
on just nicely enough. except the set
back caused by the recent continued
cold. We are glad to see good crops
OF wheat and other grain coming
along, together with a right large
display of cotton and tobacco, which
look fine, We believe the people are
pretty well aroused over the food sit
uation and that more will be raised
this year than ever before.
We are especially pleased to note
that our Uncle Sam has advised the
beer makers and other strong drink
producers to curtail the amount of
grain and cereals used for that pur-
pose during the war; and it would be
mighty good thing for him to do
for US if he would put a stop to the
speculation gamblers buying it all
up and placing such an unreasonable
price on it. We are comforted, how
ever, in the thought that if our peo-
pie are favored with seasons and it
doesn't take all they make this year
to pay the merchants for what they
are compelled to buy, the spectators
will have good time looking at their
big lot and nobody buying it. One
reason why they are doing so mean
is because they know there will never
be given them another opportunity
like it and they will make themselves
rich on this one.
