An Easy Way to Reduce
Flesh

Haven't you often wished for a med

thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics. Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets. Which
you may secure at Hunters Pharmacy.
They are pleasant to take, perfectly
harmless and cause no restrictions of

A GOOD WHEAT YEAR.

The weekly papers are bringing in
confirmation of the reports that the
wheat crop in North Carolina this sea-
son is altogether a fine one. Those
farmers who put in a large acreage
are going to profit that much more.
The season appears to have Oeen n
particularly kind to the wheat grow
ers, and some of the yields being re-
ported are record-breakers. It is al
together likely that the results Of the
wheat harvest of 1917 in North Caro-
lima are going to give wheat Cultiva-
tion an impetus such as it could have
gained from no amount of newspaper
agitation. 1t takes practical results
to move the farmer. Those who went
in for wheat struck it right this year.

Guaged by revenue receipts the

Revenue collected on whiskey col
lected thus far in the fiscal year still
has eleven days to run. ordinary
receipts still are pouring in, more
than $1,000, 900 a day. At the tax rate
of S1.1O per gallon these figures mean
that taxes have been paid on $4,000

900 gallons the next highest year, 1914.

COMMUNITY CANNING HAS
BEEN SPONTANEOUS OVER STATE
Mrs. Jane S. McKimmdn. Who Was
Here, Gets FIne Reports OF
Movement.

Reports to Mrs. Jane s.. McKimmon,
head of the Home Demonstration
work in the State, and the State Food
Conservation Commission Indicate
that in nan sections. of the State
there has been a spontaneous develop
ment Of community canning. The
movement is especially well organized
at Wilmington, in CASTOR county, at
Asheville and Raleigh, says a a report
from Raleigh.
The instance at Wilmington proba-
bly, shows best the possibilities OF this
movement. In that city canning CLUBS
have been organized among church So
cieties and high school girls for the
of saving the surplus OF per-
ishable vegetables and fruits form the
gardens of the city and truck farms of
New Hanover County. Members of
the boy scouts and other boys of work
ing age have been modified to assist
in the garden work and the harvest:
ing of the vegetables on the farms.
which, in many instances, are purchas-
ed in the field and harvested by the
boys and taken bythem to the various
canning clubs in the city. These
canning clubs are taking contracts
from housewives offthe city to fill thelt
empty jars with vegetables n fruits.
They are also using thousands OF cans
which. will be sold on the genera
market later.
The movement as carried out in,
Wilmington serves several, purposes:
thousands Of dollars worth of vegeta-
bles and fruits which would otherwise
be lost to the consumer is being saved
the women of the churches and the
high school girls are rendering an
valuable patriotic service and incl
IDENTIFY are earning money for religion"
and charitable causes; and thousands
of fruit jars which would have remain
ed on pantry shelves are being utilized
in the saving of food stufs the valume
of which have some effect in easing
UP the general food situation.
In some places community canning
outfits have been established for the
benefit Of housewives who desire to
can their surplus vegetables but have
not the facilities at home for so doin~
Both plans serve a very useful pur-
pose, and the movement will no doubt
spread rapidly until the housewives
of practically every city and town in
the State will be able either to put up
their own surplus fruits and vegeOE
bles at a Community cannery or han
their jars filled at reasonable cost by
some canning club.

FIRST FLAG OVER SCHOOL
Honor Is Claimed for CoIrain, Mass.s
Where National Banner Was
Raised in May, 1912.

Today the United States flag flies
Owe millions of schoolhouses, in every
city, town and hamlet, throughout the
United States, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines. On every day Of patri-
otto observance exercises are held at
which the flag is saluted and the pupils
standing give a military salute and in
chorus slowly and distinctly repeat:
81 pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the republic for which it stands, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL"
The distinction of antedating all
other schoolhouses in raising the flag
belongs to a little log schoolhOuse On
Catamount hill, Colrain, Mass, in May,
1872. The second war with Great Bril-
tain was threatening at that time, and
the people of the community raised the
flag In an Outburst OF patriotism and
loyalty to the United States govern
ment. The man who felled the tree to
make the flagpole and three members
of the committee in charge of the
hosting Of the flag were a short time
later marching away to the war.
After careful investigation of the
claim Of this school being the first to
raise the Stars and Stripes, there was
set up, in May, 1908, on the place where
the old log schoolhouse had stood, a
neat stone tablet on which was carved:
The First United States Flag
raised over a public school was
f1oated in May, 1872, from a log
a.
place.
Less than a month after the flag on
Fort Sumter had been fired upon a flag
was raised over the Fifth street gram
mar school at New Bedford, Mass, May
IL, 1851. This was eight months after
the dedication of the school building.
One Of the earliest instances known
of a flag being raised over a school
building or grounds was over Wash
ingtOn school, Chicago, three days
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon.
The principal, Benjamin f. Cutter,
bought the, bunting and four of his
teachers made the flag. One of these
women was a native of Maine, one
from Massachusetts,, another was born
In New York state, and the fourth,
Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones Of Yer
mont, was afterward a past national
president of the Woman's Relief corps.

Why Enlist?

Why should I give up a good job
in the country and go to war for so
cents day."
The above Illuminating remark
was overheard on a railroad train
the other day. Apparently the fel-
low was not worrying so much about
the hazards of war. One would In
fer that if the government would pay
him something more than $3.50 per
that he might be earning out In the
fields, he would see the thing in
quite a different light. Perhaps he
would recognize that is is just about
what his neck is worth.
In contrast to this one sees the
flower of our youth in colleges and
schools assuming cheerfully the haz-
ards of battle. 1t is the pathetic
side of war, that while sluggards and
slackers would stop a bullet just as
we'll as anyone, it has to be the men
of initiative and courage and deci-
sion who are subjected to this futile
waste.
There are some men SO constituted
that they do not feel under obliga-
tion to their country. The pay en-
velope is their flag. If an enemy
country offered them better wages,
they would cheerfully go there-if
they could get there without harm
to their precious skins.
Some men may have great hulk
ing bodies, but the soul seems left
out. Of course, people of this kind
bring their own peculiar punishment
on themselves. They are psychology
cally constituted without the senti-
ment of loyalty. ~They may have
animal strength and are able to dig
bitches or hoe crops. They will not
starve as long as their hunger drives
them into the corn field. But this
lack of loyalty will not show itself
merely in shirking their duty to the
country. 1t will also be apparent in
their relations with their employers
and their home community. y dis
loyal worker is of little use in any
gang. If hard times come, they may
wish they had taken Uncle Sans
meager so cents day and the board
and clothes that go with it.-Mary-
lander and Herald.
