AID TO ROADS
Quarterly Court Holds Interesting
Adjourned Session

An adjourned session Of the
quarterly court was held last Mon
day to consider the road question.
A full attendance Of the bench was
present and a very interesting ses-
sion was held.
The new road law was taken up
for consideration and after some
discussion the court decided not
to go under its operation until the
first of the year, 1918, and the
county will continue to work the
roads under the old law for the re-
mainder Of this year.
The resolution introduced at
the former session of the court,
providing for the working Of the
roads on the cooperative plan.
brought about some pretty lively
discussions. A motion to table
the resolution failed.
The resolution was then taken
up and discussed Oh its merits.
The proposition provided that
where a community would appro-
pirate money to be spent on the
public roads that the county would
appropriate a like sum.
The resolution was so amended
as to limit the sum to be expended
in any one district to not more
than $500, and was then passed.
1t is possible under this plan to Sc
cure 800 for work on the roads,
one-half Of which will be paid by
the county.

The Grove High School of Paris
and the |. I. S. played a slow
game to q I to I tie last Saturday
at the former place. The features
of the game were the batting work

"Ducky" Vickers for triples.
Pap Bonds, the authenticated south

TIE NATIONS DEALS
President Appeals to Al PeOp'v
Cor Their Preservation

Fresh impetus was given to the
nationwide campaign for more
food crops last Monday by Presi-
dent Wilson's plea for unity of sc-
ton in furthering Americas sue.
cess in the world war.
The president appealed to all
the people to join in making the
nation unit for the preservation
of its ideals and for the triumph
of democracy, but be laid empha-
sis on his words, urging the grow
ers to concentrate their energies
on the planting of food so that the
United States might fulfill its task
of feeding the armies and people
who are lighting Germany.
To the southern farmer the
president appealed earnestly that
the high price of cotton be forgot
ten for the time and that abundant
food crops also be planted.
The southern farmer can show
his patriotism In no better or more
convincing way" he said, than
by helping, upon a great scale, to
feed the nation and the peoples
everywhere lighting for their lib
critics and our own. The variety
of their crops will be the visible
measure of their comprehension
Of their national duty
Without abundant food, alike
for the armies and the peoples at
war;" the president said, the
whole great enterprise upon which
we have embarked will fail. Upon
the farmers Of the country, there
fore, in large measure rests the
fate of the war and the fate Of the
nations
The president regards the food
question Of really more immediate
importance than the equipping of
a great army or effective navy.
I'VE are rapidly putting our
navy upon an effective war foot
ing and are about to create and
equip great army, but these, Y he
says, ARE the simplest parts for
the great task to which we have
addressed ourselves. There is not
a single selfish element, so far as /
can see, in the cause we are fight
ing for. We are lighting for what
we believe and wish to be the
rights OF mankind and for the flu
ture peace and security of the
world. 10 do this great thing
worthily and successfully we must
devote ourselves to the service
without regard to profit or ma
terial advantage and with an en-
ergy and intelligence that will
raise TO the level OF the enterprise
itself. We must realize to the
full how great the task is and how
many things, how many kinds and
clements of capacity and service
md self-sacrifice it involves.
These, then, are the things we
must do, and do well, besides fight
ing the things without which
mere fighting would be fruitless.'

APPEAL TO FARMERS
The Necessity 20 Grow More Food
Stuff Emphasized

The committee appointed by the
mass meeting at the court house
last Monday night to prepare an
appeal TO the farmers of Carroll
county present the following:
In view of the serious shortage
of food stufs now confronting our
people it is imperative that we do
something to remedy the present
state of affairs. The situation is
critical. Carroll county is not
growing enough food stuffs to sup
ply the needs of her own people
and their live stock. The mer-
chants of this county have been
selling for man and beast to those
who could and should be produc-
ing enough and to spare.
Now we are approaching time
when the commercial stock Of these
commodities is running low. Corn
and -four and beans have doubled
in price and already jobbers are
considering not the price of food
stufs, but whether or not they can
be obtained at any price.
Carroll county must feed her
self and others this year; we must
grow more corn and hay and veg
etables than we have ever grown
before. Prevailing prices justify
this action and necessity demands
it. 1t is not good business to grow
cotton this year with the expecta-
ton of selling it to obtain money
with which to purchase food stuffS.
These articles have advanced in
price until cotton must bring 30
cents pound next year in order
to have as great purchasing power
as it had this year at 20 cents.
But the most important consid-
GRAFTON is the prospect that these
articles will not be available at
any price next year unless we
grow them here at home.
In view of these conditions far
mers are urged to utilize every
available acre, every available
horse and hand and all the time
possible.toward the production Of
articles Of food. Every farmer
should plant at least five additional
acres ofscorn this year and all the
beans, potatoes and other yege-
tables he can grow.
Our president has appealed to US
to do these things for the sake of
our country ,and for the sake Of
the cause for which we are now at
war. 1t is the patriotic thing to
do and it is the profitable thing to
do. There seems to be no danger
whatever of an over supply to
cause a slump in prices. The lands
across the sea are devastated and
they are anxious to buy all we can
spare. Now is the farmers oppor.
tunity to render a valuable service
to his country and at the same
time to make more money BY
growing a greater variety of crops
with special emphasis on the pro-
duction Of food for men and ami
mails.
