WAR RELIC TRAIN VISITED
10y SCURRY COUNTY PEOPLE

An immense crowd Of Sourry
county folks wers at the Santa Fo
station early Thursday morning to
see the train load Of war relies be-
ing shown over the country. These
things have been captured from
Germany. There are gas masks, gas
shells. swords, machine guns, bombs
cannons and many other implements
Of war, all representing machinery
for killing men. These implements
we're being used to kill our boys TIL
they we're captured and the Ger
mans using them were killed or made
prisoners.
There we're several speakers In
the relic party, among them serg
Harley. Pvt, Jolly, serg. Guerin and
John y. Davis Of Dallas and Mr. Cox
The soldiers told Of their expe-
riences on the battle front and ex-
hiblted marks Of wounds received
in battles. The speakers were living
dynamos OF patriotism and confident
OF final and complete victory. They
want no peace I'LL Germany Is whip
ped One speaker Is anxious to get
back into the drive and hopes to
be there when "old Glory" is plant
ed over Berlin to stay there TIL we
get good and ready to take her down
The speakers impressed us with
the fact that there is yet fighting
to be done. The soldiers are there
and arriving there to do the fighting
and expect US who remain at home
to amply furnish them with what
ever they may need. They insist that
the American people must buy LIB
erty Bonds to the utmost and pro-
mise that the armies will never give
up the fight until victory is won and
German autocracy Is crushed

INFLUENZA WORSE
THAN HUN BULLETS
Claiming More Victims Than Battle
Fronts of Europe-Disease
Can Be Avoided.

According to carefully compiled sta
tlstlcs 1T is an indisputable fact that
the Spanish Influenza Epidemic which
IS now sweeping all parts of the coun-
try IS daily claiming far more victims
than German bullets on the battle
1rosnt OF Europe. Although civil and
military authorities have succeeded is
checking the disease in some localities,
1t is growing worse in others and con-
tlnues to spread at an alarming rate
That the disease can be avoided there
IS no longer any doubt. According to
leading authorities the powers of re-
slstance OF the human system can be
so perfected that it can throw Of al
! most any Infection, not even except
| ing Spanish Influenza. which is one
OF the most contagious diseases
1t is persons who are suffering from
lowered vitality, who are weak and
rundown and who have not the
strength to throw it off who are the
earliest victims Persons who have
had colds, who are suffering from ca
tarrhal troubles, or inflammation Of
the mumous membranes are especially
susceptible, as the inflamed mucous
membrane Innings of the nose and
throat are an open door to the germs.
This condition is almost always ac-
companied by weakened condition of
the system
1t you are suffering from any of
these symptoms, nothing on earth will
build you up and strengthen you like
Tanlac, which contains the most pow
erful tonic properties known to
science
This statement is easily proven by
the fact that Tanlac is now having the
greatest sale of any system tonic in
the history of medicine. In less than
four years time over Ten Million Bot
ties have been sold and the demand
IS constantly increasing Thousands
are using it daily for the above trou-
bles with the most astonishing and
gratifying results.
Tanlac increases your strength and
weight and creates a good, healthy
appetite for nourishing food. It keeps
you physically fit and helps every or

WHEAT GROWING CONTEST
Prizes Aggregating $10O Offered Boys
10 to 18 Years Old-Boys Should
Apply to County Farm Demonstra-

To the School Boys Of Robeson:
A few weeks ago the county COM
missioners, being eager to promote
wheat growing in the county to help
to meet the war needs, appropriated
$1OO to be divided into several prizes
to be given to boys between the ages
of ten and 18 years, who will enter
q wheat growing contest. These
prizes, the largest Of which is $40.
are to be awarded to the boys making
the greatest yield of wheat at the
least expense. The plan is for every
boy entering the contest to plant not
less than one acre of fall wheat, and
he may plant greater acreage if he
desires.
:; We want and must have at least
one hundred boys in this contest, Only
few have applied for membership to
date, owing to the fact that it has
been impossible to get this matter be-
fore the boys, because the rural
schools are not in operation; but we
hope that many boys will read this
and decide to enter the contest, thus
aiding our Government in winning the
war, and at the same time acquiring
a broader knowledge Of agricultural
work, and perhaps winning one Of the
several cash prizes provided by the
county to encourage this work.
It would be fine idea for every
boy who reads this to send his name
and address to me, and to begin at
once to prepare his land and sow ar
acre or two of wheat. Remember
that the season for fall sowing is
passing very swiftly. Don't wait un'
til it's too late. Write at once to
