NOTES
Easter Sunday was a good day for
US IN many ways. Five new members
received the Hand of Church Fellow

Lords Supper was observed. Splen-
did audiences greeted the pastor at
both services, and intense interest
was manifest. Our Sunday School
is doing splendid work under the lea
dership of Supt. Alonzo Brumitt
The services next Sunday will be
full of interest to all those who will
attend. On the last Sunday of April,
we will observe what is known as De-
nominational Day. This day in pre-
paratory to the Northern Baptist Con-
Vent1on, which convenes in Cleveland,
Ohio, May the 18th. We hope to
send some delegates to this great con-
vention.
On the evening of April p, Harry
Stock will deliver his Grafton "This
Glorious War" in our church This
Grafton won the State inter-normal

We are at war because "the arch

Why should this question be asked?
The greatest war of history has been
waged for three years. The United
States has been at war for four
months. We have the largest number
OF newspapers and are the best in
formed people in the world. The war
began to affect our pocket-books. on
the whole unfavorably, from the first
day it began. We were almost immc-
diately involved in the most critical
disputes with all the belligerents.
Yet we are still told. even by such in
fiuential men as Senator Borah, that
We do not know why we are at war.

among great democratic people?
There is but one answer. For three
long years the ceaseless German prop
aganda has been penetrating every
land, and it still continues under the
pseudonym of 'pacifism." These noun
tains of lies thus persistently and sys-
tematically spread over a thousand
daily issues of a large part of our
press during period of three years
cannot be removed within a few
months. Indeed, it may be doubted

THINGS STRANGE IN FRANCE

Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Kutzleb re-

known TO his friends as Bud" in
which he details some of his observa-
tons and experiences on the military
front in France. He is connected with
the American Field service and is at
tached to the ambulance corps. He
says he is quite well. but finds it hard
to accustom himself to army rations,
which are devoid of dainties of any
kind. He says that sweetmeats and
candies are very difficult to procure
in France on account of the war and
that a small package of chocolate
costs thirty-five cents. Mr.. Davis ex.
presses the hope that war will not last
very long. but he hazards no opinion
as to when hostilities will cease.

VALUABLE BEAN CROP
Is READY TO HARVEST

The pinto bean crop thruout Ere
mont county is practically ready for
harvesting, in fact, the work of cut
ting them has already begun in some
sections and in others will start in a
few days. Mr.. Jeffries. county agri-
culturist. says there should be no de-
lay in getting them in as soon as they
are fully matured, as they will scat
ter badly if allowed to become too
dry, The acreage of beans in this
county this year is several times
larger than ever before and the crop
will be valuable one II properly TAX
en- care of. Not a day should be al
lowed to lapse after they are ripe un-
til they are harvested. otherwise there
will be considerable loss TO the
owner. With the high prices now pre-
vailing ranchers will net big income
from their beans. In some parts of
the county the yield has been mater
tally essened on account of the raw
ages of the bean bug; in others but
little damage has been done to it by
insect pests.
