New Hope Dots.

New Hope, Jan. 23.-We are glad
to see the sun this morning after an
other big sleet which is still on the
ground.
We sure are having what we call
winter time, l guess we all will be
glad to see winter break.
The old saying that a hard winter
fine crop year. So we are hoping
that to be true.
We haven't much news these days
for it is about frozen out except war
news, as I don't think there will be
anything to prevent it stopping, al
though we feel for the poor soldier
boys during this cold weather, we
know that it has been worse in France
than here.
Guess all the industrial plants
started up this morning after five
days rest, which will aid lots in fuel
saving.
Regular preaching service was held
at New Hope Sunday afternoon, with
our new preacher, Rev. Mr.. Blackmon.
Mr.. Luther Becknell of BALTIC, S. c.,
spent the weekend with his prents,
Mr.. and Mrs. B. M. Becknell.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
OF 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was n shortage Of 176,000,0O0
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
NAL The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit Of 60 per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are n few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

farm PROSPERITY
IS HOME MADE
Can Be Continued Indefinitely In
South II Farmers Do Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- the
present wave of farm prosperity" in
the South is "home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by II.
G. Hastings, President of both the
southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
OF farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price Of cotton rather
than to its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers pock-
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
1t instead of owing it to supply mer-
chant at the end of the season, as was
usually the case in times past. Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need Of few store purchases and
made few or no debts"
IF the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms"
Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1918.
The man who does it is foolish. The
whole world is snort Of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as GER
tain as sunrise each morning."
Real money-in-hand farm prosper
ity Is absolutely dependent on the
| growing on ones own acres Of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid-
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part Of the cost
| OF making cotton or other cash crop is
In the food, grain and forage consum-
ed in making it.
"These items home made can be
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
andAhome production OF them means
just that much reduction in the cost
or making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent Just as long as
our farmers continue their farm oper.

-. y. "nittleS farm
Upon those whom the United States
has not called from the farm, rests
a great obligation Of feeding and
clothing the liberty armies of the
world. The greater tho crops the
harder the armies will be abIo to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer from
making maximum crops? Will it be
lack Of market and a good price?
No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will it be for lack Of money or cred.
1t with which to buy tools, seeds, fer
tilizers or other necessary supplies? /?
No, money Is plentiful and credit is
good.
Will 1t be for lack of labor? Labor
Is scarce without doubt. In fact, the
shortage of labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops. If
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in very great crop. But in
view Of the lack Of labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, Increase the
applications Of fertilizers, which will
Increase tho yield without enIarglne
the cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is a schedule
of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
/. Break the land deeply turning
under all stalks, stubble and litter pos.

Vivid Picture of Murder
Of Former Russian Officer

y
of the circumstances Of the murder.
by infuriatcd Bolsheviki, Of Geenral
Dukhonin, formerly Commanderin-
Chief of the Russian Army, is given
by the Petrograd correspondent of
Matin, who apparently was an eye
witness of the tragedy. According
to his story Ensign Kdylenko, the
Bolsheviki Commander-in-C Chief, en-
deavored to save General Dukhonin
from the mob but his efforts were
cnavailing and the Russian Comman-
der was struck down by sailor and
then run through with a dozen bayo-
nets.
The murder took place after the
Bolsheviki had captured the head
quarters of the Russian Army at
Mohiley and followed General Du-
khonin's refusal to request the Ger
man Army officials to enter into an
armistice with the Bolsheviki. The
General correspondent the General
appeared at the window of his rail-
way carriage.
"Throw us your equalettesw Shrek
ed the soldiers, cor We'll kill you,"
and they shouldered their rifles.
Krylenko begged the general to
give way to them, but Dukhonin re-
fused.
"They can go to the Deuce" he cried
''iet them kill me!'
A bullet whistled by, breaking the
window, then a second. General
OdintZeff went up to Dukhonin and
gently took off his opaulettes. There
were thrown to the mob and were
quickly torn to pieces and for a NOM
ent he thought he was saved. Then
a handful of sailors jumped into the
carriage. They seized Dukhonin by
the shoulders and pushed him to the
end of the coach and then on the plat
form. Krylenko ran after them. The
generals appearance caused a great
uproar.
"Kill him right out" cried. "Kere-
nsky and Korniloff got off. Men like
him must be killed at once"
AS the mob pushed closer and closer
upon the general, Kryonko stormed
and shouted, but no one took any
notice. With single blow the gen
eral was struck down by tall sailor
from the rebel cruiser Aurora. Duk-
honin got on his feet again once, his
streaming with blood. He tried to
speak but dozen bayonets were run
though him, and then blows and kicks
were rained upon his body.
The soldier fought for his clothing
tearing it from him. The corpse,
stripped bare, was set up against a
railway carriage and the mob, laugh
ing like madmen, started a gruesome
game. Sailors, Red Guards, and
soldiers made snow and mud balls and
flung them at the generals head.
81 could no longer look on" writes
the Mathis correspondent, "and dash
ed back into the carriage, where |
found Krylenko sitting in a corner,
his face in his hands. When he lifted
his head / saw he was pale as death.
look at them,' he said in wisper.
There's no holding them in now. !
and all the rest Of us must come to
the same end"

THE FARMERS SHOT AT

2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting.
3. Use only the best possible seed,
preferably pedigreed seed, from q re-
sponsible plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use Of fertilizers.
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
8. Give thorough and frequent cu1-
tivation to the titled crops. preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
6. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While 1t Is true that everything the
farmer has to buy Is high In price, IL
Is also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell Is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price Of crops, and that
as matter Of fact, cotton, corn, pea
nuts. tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true 1t follows that 1t will pay
better now to use it than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re-
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind il he would be sure to
raise bumper crop and that is, to
place his orders early for everything
that is to be shipped by rail-. The
railroads are hard put to it and do
not afford assurance Of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv.
cred in time.
Even If shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there is a scare
ity Of materials and advancing prices.
making 1t improbable that the fertiliz-
er will be cheaper.

 Case Of Thrift
 That Isn't Bad

We've all heard great deal lately about fuel conservation, but few have entertained the idea of ice conserva- tion. This was left to w. A. Fike, who conducts meat market on Front street.
 Monday when the sun shed some of it's modesty and showed that it was no longer ashamed to be seen on the streets, MT. Fixes refrigerators where he keeps fresh meats, began to yawn for ice. Ice still costs money despite the lack of shortage, and MT. Fike began to feel about for a means of eliminating a part of his op- erating expense. It did not take him long to locate a huge bank of ice at the rear of the R. J. Wise Grocer Company store building on Laurel street, where it had been chopped from roofs, and when MT. Wise very kindly admitted that he was tired of looking at and sliding down the gla- cier, MT. Fike backed his wagon. into the alley and removed the obstruction to his market place, conserving sever al hundred pounds of the ice in this unusual way.
