A MAN WITH A WRONG VIEW

During the recent campaign to sell
Liberty Loan Bonds "A certain man,
known to have good, fat bank ac-
count, was asked to subscribe to q
bond. mo, don't want any bond,
and | am not going to buy anv bond "
That was his way Of looking at it.
But, this was not all; the same man
further remarked: 81 have my mon
ey in the bank and it pays me inter
est, and | never paid a cents taxes
on 1T In my life" All this looks quite
innocent and quite wise, but it was
neither innocent nor wise. If everv-
body had done as this beniehted. self
ish soul, it would not have been q
month before the government would
have had to levy perhaps ten per
cent tax on every dollar on deposit in
the banks of the county. If we had
not bought bonds from the govern
ment upon which we will receive in
terest the government would have had
to come to the necessity of taxing the
money and other values to raise the
necessary funds to carry on this war.

Italy, and now in the autumn of 1917
| Germany goes to Austria'S help with
the intention of wiping Italy off the
map.
The reference to previous autumrs
is not particularly encouraging foc
US. The parallel, as for as it has
gone, is omirous. But this time, we
have good reason to believe, Germany's
task is more difficult One important
difference is the fact that Italy, be-
ing not so far distant as Serbia and
Rumania, can more easily be rein
forced from France and Britain with
guns and men and from America with
supplies. Nor are the potentialities
of the Italian situation all favorable
to Germany. There is in this case a
chance that the Teuton blow may lie
a boomerang. A Teuton army which
forced it's way down into the Italian
plain might be taken in flank NY an
Anglo-French army poured into Italy
from eastern France,
This latter, however, must, be re-
garded as a remete possibility. If
there is one thing that should be
clear to all the world it is that the
German General Staff knows its bust
ness. The greatest danger in the
italian situation is that the military
successes of the Teuton armies may
break the spirit of the italian people
who are already much distressed be-
cause of lack of essential supplies and
who have been worked upon with es
pecial diligence by the Teuton agents
Indeed the real purpose of the Teuton
offensive is, in all likelihood to bring
about riots and perhaps revolution in
Italy The most interesting news
from Europe now is news indicating
how the Italian people are standing
the new strain imposed upon them
SO far the signs are good. Washing
ton hears that the new external peril
is unifying the Italian factions and
hardening the Italian will to endure
But it is too soon to be sure of this

Postage 3 cents; stamp tax, check

1t neither drove us to despair nor out

of the newspaper buyers, everything
else has travelled towards the sky.
1t is all in the game, and it is worth
the price. But for these soaring
prices it is probable that even today
there would be a Gordon of German

The present high price of cotton
seed is sore temptation to the farm
er to sell more than he should sell.
Don't forget that you will need seed
for planting next year, and, remem-
ber, they will probably be 800 ton,
too. That is the judgment of man
who is well posted upon the cotton
and cotton seed market, and we pass

There may be some advantage in n
man having an eligible and marriage
able daughter and then again there
may not be. We chance to know Of
one particular case where supporting
this daughter u nthe style to which
she has been accustomed" was a real
hardship for the head Of the family
and we expect that there are some
other cases just like this.

the funds. If the old man put new

ten dollar pair of boots for daugh-

awarded to pater meant that Sis had
to be clothed from head to foot in

The lass was always too busy to

ties. and while she made the finest
fudge that any of us ever saw, she
couldn't cook a decent meal to save
her life

not. She married brakeman and is
now living on third of what she
used to spend while her parents are

"The German offensive against
Italy, says General Smuts, the fa-

against Serbia and in the autumn of
1918 Germany went to Austria's help
and wiped Serbia off the map. Aus

The Robesonian., 1917-05-07

Mr.. Bradford Knapp's suggestions
in the letter from him to bankers
and business men published in this
issue strike The Robesonian as en-
inently sensible. Besides doing the
things Mr.. Knapp suggests, it will
not hurt farmers and business men
generally to spend as much time as
possible every day in garden work,
in trying by their personal labor to
increase the food supply. The farm
er is going to do his part, but the man
in town who spends his late after
moons in racing about in his auto
and his early morning hours in bed
might better employ the time in cul-
tivating a garden. More gardening
is being done in Lumberton right
now than has ever been done before,
no doubt, but there are some vacant
lots that might be cultivated that are
lying idle. It world be a good idea
for the town to switch its street
forces to cultivating vacant lots
Street work can wait. And the law
against vagrants should be rigidly
enforced Ri ght now. Any man who
leafs now is a. traitor to his coun-
try. Put the loafers to work and let
the town people do their bit.
