BUY A LIBERTY BOND

Statement by Samuel Gompers, Pres
ident of American Federation of
labor
"To buy Liberty Bond is to sup
port our country and to subscribe to
ideals which our country is forced
to maintain by military force. In
dividuals and organizations have tes-
titled to their patriotic desire to
serve by subscribing for these bonds,
including labor men and labor organ
izations. All workers and labor or
CARNATIONS will find it advantageous
to support this loan as extensively as
lies within their financial ability.
Money from their sale is indispens-
able to the successful conduct Of the
war. Bond subscriptions therefore
become highly patriotic and intelli-
gent way to render service to our
Republic and to the cause of democ-
racy internationally. The Fedora
tions executive council has subscrib-
ed to $4,000 worth Of bonds"

For Expectant Mothers
STATE CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR CONVENTION

High Point, June s-The State
Christian Endeavor convention will
be held in High Point June $40. The
opening session will be on Friday
evening, June 9Th, at 500. This ses-
sion will be followed by a reception
to the visiting delegates.
The convention will be held in the
auditorium of the graded school. It
was previously planned to hold it in
the Friends church, but owing to the
fire which occurred there during the
past winter, this plan could not be
carried out. The graded school aud
itorium was chosen because of its be-
ing the most commodious building in
the city.
Preparations have been made to
entertain 200 visiting delegates, and
the best convention in the history
of the C. E. in this State is expected.
Mr.. Karl Lehman, field SECRETARY
of the All-South union, and Mr.. Chas.
l.. Evans, likewise field secretary
and one of the leading c. E. workers
of the country, will be in attendance
for addresses and conferences. Sun
day afternoon, the Junior convention
will be held, the same being the sec
Ond Junior 4. +. convention ever
held in the State. Mrs. L. w. Nc
Farlond of High Point, State Junior
superintendent, and other Junior
workers, will have charge Of this
session, which, however, will be car,
ried out by the Junior themselves.
An interesting feature of the con-
vention will be the oratorical contest
between the Davidson and Elon col
lege societies, both Of which include
a large percentage of the students Of
these Institutions. The winner in this
oratorical contest will be presented
with silver cup by Mr.. Karl Leh
mann.
All who expect to attend the con
vention as delegates are requested
to send their names at once to Mis-
Edith Hill, 100 w. Green St., Hig]
Point, chairman of the registration
committee, and thus secure free en-
tertainment.

FOOD AND FEED FIRST
Depending On North and West for
Hay is One Of Worst Economic Sins
of Which South is Guilty

Progressive Farmer.
One of the worst economic sins of
which the South is guilty is that of
depending on the North and West for
hay. We have every climatic advant-
age for growing large crops of rough
feed, and census figures show that
we actually average more hay per
acre than those very sections from
which We buy it. Yet every year
trainload after trainload of hay is
shipped into the South, taking away
cotton and tobacco money that a bet
ter farming system would keep at
home.
This year, however, it is likely that
we shall see a change. Uncle Sam is
going to expect that our allies in Eu-
rope shall have first call on any sur
plus of food and feed raised in ou1
Northern States, and he is going te
expect, too, to use freight cars fol
moving these and other supplies t.
seaports rather than to Southern
farmers. In other words, it looks
very much now as if the man whe
needs feed of any kind next season

Uncle Sam-Bad Sand Storm
Correspondence of The Robesenian.
Raynham, June 5-We are having
some of the finest rains now we most
ever saw any crops are growing fast
an dgrass is coming now.
Guess there are lots of sad hearts
today as it is registration day and
there are lots who are dreading to
face the music. Boys, be brave and
stick up to Uncle Sam, for he is the
best uncle we have ever had or ever
will have. We hear of some trying
to keep the negroes from registering,
saying they are fools if they 20
about it, as they are not allowed to
vote. We think the officers and all
good citizens should look after such
and report them to the proper au-
thorities, for they are protected by
the law and by Uncle. Sam same as
any one else.
Hope the old veterans will have
a nice time at the reunion this time
as there are some who will never have
the pleasure of going to another one,
for they are fast passing into the
Great Beyond, where they will get
their just rewards.

WHY WE ALL SHOULD BE
LOYAL TO OUR COUNTRY

To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
First, because it is the land which
God has given US to live in, and that
Cad has chosen US as free race of
people to live in it. Hence we all
should try all that is within our
power to take care of it,and to defend
it from the enemy. We all, old or
Young, should engage in this peril
GUS conflict to defend it.
This is an eventful year. Now
that we have been chosen of God to
live in this country it is our utmost
duty- toward God and man to defend
it. We as nation should each and
every one do all that is within our
power to destroy the enemy OF God
and man and fight hard for our liberty
and democracy of our country. we
all who are too old to go to the
fighting line should engage ourselves
in some way to encourage and pro-
tect our land. A man that is not
loyal to his country is an enemy to
God, and also traitor: We are
commanded of God to defend what
he has given US. We must now by
| the will of God try to destroy the en-,
envy. The United States law should
| be vigorously enforced against all
who should speak one word to agl-
tate or cause any disbelief of oul
| rights to defend our country. We
as a great nation, our rights have
been trampled upon, our women ane
children have been treated with out
RACES, and murdered, and innocent
lives have been taken by the ruth
less enemy. The rights of our ma
ton have been tranpled upon. Ou1
chief executive has been disputed
and ignored and trampled upon
Now that our great leader is trying
to defend his people, let US all en-
! gage in this perilous conflict to hell
him, and to let tive world know tina
we are a free people and will g
wherever our President calls US t
. go. There is no reason why ever,
man, woman or child cannot hell
i We all have as much duty to do ]!
this conflict as We do in the churc
or Sunday school, and will receive til
same reward for it in heaven.

will either grow it himself or do
without it.
Right now is the time for every
Southern farmer to prepare for any
emergency in the feed situation dur
ing the next twelve months. No man
positively knows that we can buy feed
at all next winter, but we all know
well that we can grow it, and grow
it cheaper than we probably ever
bought it.
There's still time to put in cow
peas, soy beans, millet and sorghum,
all of which will make good feed. If
\ you haven't the seed, buy them-it
will pay you. Every piece of stuble
land, every acre not otherwise in use,
should be put to work and put to
work at once. Remember, it will
probably be case Of raise feed or
do without.

it is nothing more than common sense

Progressive Farmer.
"What is your idea as to the prob
able price of tobacco the coming sea-
SOM" asks friend.
We believe that the day of low
prices for farm products is past, and
that for years to come the farmer Will
get good prices for all he can grow
But just now the duty of every farm
er is to contribute with all his pow
err to the production of food. Soldiers
will be taken out of productive indus
try. and they must be fed and fed
we'll, for an army fights on its stom-
ach. Therefore no matter what the
price of tobacco may be, it will be
better to shorten rather than increase
the area planted to tobacco and in
crease the area devoted to food and
feed for man and beast.
Europe is looking to this country
to save it from starvation. We can
easily feed our own people but to aid
in bringing the war to victorious
end we will have to help feed our al
| lies, whose own crops will be short
ened by lack of labor. The feeding
of millions of men ard at the same
time feeding the home folks is going
to tax this country to it's utmost
| Hence we should make every effort te

war has been the greatest in
fluence for total abstinence which has
ever occurred. Soldiers do not figh
on whiskey and tobacco, but on gooe
solid nutritious food.
