Farmers Putting Out Tobacco Plants
Better Raise FO0dstuffs-Much
Sickness.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, r. 1, April lot is
real cool this morning, but the farm
ers are still setting out tobacco. L
would rather have the plants under
the covers than in the field.
We hear lots of the farmers com
planning of the present prices OF food
stuffs. Better raise enough and stop
buying, l think.
There has been lots of sickness IN
this section, but most everybody is up
again. Mrs: A. G. Edwards continues
very sick, but is much better than
she has been.
Lots of our young folks attended
the concert at Regans last Friday
night and all report grand time.
Messrs. Clarence Stone and w. Pit

Sunday at the home of Mr.. and Mr.,

Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon Juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness
and beauty.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint Of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth So
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan. and
IS the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and max
up suarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage il
daily into the face, neck, arms and

No political fights are going to dis
turb the people of Robson this year
or distract their attention from the
more important business Of doing
their possible toward helping to win
the war. Neither Republicans nor
Democrats of Robeson have any de-
sire to fight fer office now. The Re-
publican county chairman said Satur-
day before the convention that so far
as he was concerned there would be
no fight, that the supremely import
ant thing now is licking the Germans,
that if the Germans licked us we
would have no party, no country, and
would be slaves merely, and that it
was no time for party fight. And
the action of the Republican conven-
ton shows that the majority of the
Republicans were of his opinion. And
for the same reason the Democrats
are gratified and relieved. Everybody
can get down to work for the natior
without any distracting fight in the
county, praise be.

NO HALF HEARTED SERVICE.

In resigning as State organizer-lec-
turer of the Farmers union, Mr.. J. q.
Green has done just what The Robe
sonian expected him to do. During
the ten years that he went up and
down the State organizing locals and
preaching the doctrine of better con-
ditions of living in the country, Mr..
Green no doubt did more constructive
work for the union than any other
man in the State. Unless we are
very much deceived, Mr.. Green has
had no axe to grind; he has not been
seeking anything for himself; he has
labored for the unselfish purpose of
helping to better the condition of his
fellow-farmers. But he cannot now
conscientiously ask men to join the
organization, seeing that the head of
the union in the State and the execu-
tive council are engaged in work that
is little short of, if it is not quite,
reasonable; SO he maintains his self
respect and steps out boldly and tells
just where Alexander and his crowd
have landed. Mr.. Green seems to
think that the union as State organ
ization is just about dead, but he
thinks that locals that have been act
ing Independent of the State organiza-
ton may continue to do good work by
absolutely ignoring the State officers !;
he thinks it we'll for locals to main
tain their organizations, under diff
ferent name, if they prefer, and that
it is just about time to begin organiz-
ing successor to the Farmers union.
The Robesonian is confident that
the majority of the membership of the
union is patriotic and will not go with
Alexander and his crowd in their
REASONABLE work. We are sure that
the members of the union in Robeson
are patriotic to the core. Some of
them have written a letter to Alexan-
der expressing in no uncertain terms
their disapproval of his attitude, and
no doubt the union will take decided
stand at the meeting which has beer
called to be held at an early date.
This is no time for men to air thei1
individual views about the Govern
ment's method of financing the war
Fine-spun theories may wait unit
the Germans are whipped. No half
hearted service will do. He that il
not for his country now is against it
and there is no more despicable crea
ture on Gods footstool than he who i
not heart and soul now with his coun
try in the greatest crisis it has eve
faced.

DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up any corn or callus SO it
lifts right off.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn stops soreness
at once and soon the corn loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, bit
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inflame or even irritate the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels sh,;
will be glad to know of this.
