A Good Name

r your creditors persstent-it was your per.
1sstency in refusing to pay that made them that
way. And the more persistent you were, the more
persistent they are.--
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
But they do not want to humliate you They do
not want you to be DEAD BEAT. They would
much rather you have a rating above reproach than
one that is areproach to you.
They want to trust you with their goods BUT
THEY DO DEMAND SETTLEMENT.
All they ask Is a square deal. They stand ready
to go out of their way to help you back upon the
road of respectability and honor.
If you are in the DEBT MIRE-see them-tell
them-and they'll meet you more than half way to
help you back. But you must DO SOMETHING.
Don't expect them to draw a red line under your ac-

urnes Tithina in Loan.

Raleigh.-Major A. w. Graham, COM
missioner of agriculture, has issued
letter to the members OF the force OF
the North Carolina department OF agr1-
culture. suggesting that that inasmuch
as the people Of the state are expect
inf the men who are receiving saIa-
ries from the state or national govern
ment be liberal in their subscriptions
to government objects, every state
.emp1oye ought to arrange to lend the
government at least one-tenth or a
years salary.
Major Graham, himself, when all his
subscriptions are settled will have
loaned the government $1,525.
HIS suggestion to the members OF MS
force follows:
"The people of the state are expect
ing the citizens who are receiving sal
aries either from the state or national
governments to be liberal in their
subscriptions to Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Certificates. They should
not disappoint these expectations. You
know what amount of money you will
certainly have at a specified time, and
I suggest that each one arrange 70
lend the government for it's several
| calls for bonds and certificates al
/ least one-tenth of years salary
MANY have already done this. AS the
farmers are more than four-ffths OF
the citizenship of the state, we must
bv the number make UP for the
amount of loans.
'This, of course, it not assessment
but a suggestion for every member
connected in any way with the depart
ment. w. A. GRAHAM

The odor from the dug-up, decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. 1t first produces
a nauseating feeling, which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon
weakening sensation follows, which
leaves you limp as a dishrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel a sort of hopelessness and mad
desire to escape it all, to get to the
open fields and the perfume of the flow
ers in Blighty. There is a sharp,
prickling sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one of breathing coal
gas through a radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmOunted by
vague horror Of the awfulness Of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps I, sooner or later, would
be in such a state and be brought to
light by the blow Of pick in the hands
Of some Tommy on digging party.
Several times have experienced this
Odor, but never could get used to 1t {;
the enervating sensation was always
present. It made me hate war and
wonder why such things were cOunte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths OF pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them"

PUSHES POTATO CAMPAIGN
State Food Administration Calls Upon
Twenty Larger Cities OF State
for Help.

Raleigh.-State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page has called upon the
city and county food administrators in
the twenty largest cities and towns in
North Carolina to organize at once and
push vigorously an Irish potato cam
pafgn.
The potato situation has reached a
critical stage. The crop last year was
large and the winter was SO severe
that for a period Of approximately
three months it was difficult to move
potatoes in any considerable quanti-
ties. This situation has resulted in an
abnormal condition at this time when
there are millions of bushels Of pota-
toes in excess of normal demands and
when, according to the North Caro-
lima Bureau of Markets here, more
than $4,000 bushels remain in the
hands of the North Carolina pro-
ducers.
Mr.. Pages wire to the county food
administrators went out in the morn
ing. Before his office closed in the
afternoon he had received reports
from Winston-Salem, Durham and Ra-
leigh to the effect that plans for the
campaign in these cities were well
under way.

KEMMEE HILL TAKEN
IN HARD STRUGGLE
POINT CONSIDERED
KEY TO SOUTHERN SIDE OF
-
YPRES SALIENT.
At lack TO PECAPTURE IT
Germans Have Made important Gains
at Other Points Along the Battle
Line.

KENNEL hill, a height which has
been looked upon as the key to the
southern side of the Ypres salient and
one of the most important strategic
positions on the northern battle front
in France, has been taken by the Ger
mans, after a defense which will be-
come of the heroic chapters Of the
war. The hill was surrounded and
the French forces entrenched on it's
slopes were overcome.
The loss of the hill, which is ad-
mitted in an official statement by Gen
era1 Delma Radcliffe, chief director OF
military operations at the British war
office brings to the allies real1za-
ton that the whole Ypres position is
in peril from the German drive north
ward from the lowlands lying to the
vest Of Armentieres.
The Teutons launched terrific at
tacks along the whole Wytschaete-
BailleulMeteren line, apparently for
he purpose of finding a point which
might yield. They evidently found
hat spot in the section of front held
Jointly by the British and French
|, troops; and against it they hurled
fresh divisions which fought their way
forward all day until at nightfal they
had surrounded KENNEL hill and iso-
'ated the French troops holding the
position.
The loss of KENNEL hill is serious
or it overlooks much of the lowlands
'ying back of the allied lines in the
Ypres salient. The hill is 464 feet
n height, rising from lowlands on
the south and east. It six miles
southwest of Ypres and three miles
west of Wytschaete. This German
success cuts deep notch in the allied
line to the southwest of Ypres and
completely outfanks the British on
he northern slopes of Messines ridge
o which they were forced two weeks
ago. The line to the southwest, to-
ward Bailleul, apparently is in no par
ocular danger at present, although
he village of Dranoutre has been lost

The day after this received the
glad tidings that would occupy the
machine gunners' dugout right near

dry as finder, and real cots in it.
These cots had been made by the

IGNORANCE BY FAR
GREATEST MENACE
WORSE THAN DREAD GERMAN
MENACE, DECLARES LiEUTEN-
ANT GOVERNOR GARDNER.
N ADDRESS TO GRADUATES
Declared IL Most ImportttG That
Every Child Be Given Fullest
Educational Advantages.

Cary.-Ignorance is a menace great
or than the great German menace
which threatens this country, declAr-
ed Lieutenant Governor o. Max Gard
ner in his address to the graduating
class of the Cary High School. The
address stressed the Importance or ed
ucating the boys and girls of NOrU
Carolina and the supreme duty OF av1
cry American citizen to do his part te
win the war. He declared that it was
important that every child should be
given the fullest opportunity for ar
education and he declared that every
citizen should sacrifice to the utmost
in order to win the war. Puny indeed
was the soul of the man, he said, who
could not hear the cry Of the distress
ed world today.
Possibilities in Boy and Girl.
Mr.. Gardner in the course Of his ad-
dress said that there was no better
material, in fact there was no other
material, to make a man or woman
than a boy or girl, in this connection
he referred to the relationship OF the
child and teacher and the great oppor-
tunity and responsibility imposed
upon the latter. He asserted that the
conscientious teacher was doing
work unmatched even by the minister
of the gospel.
Mr.. Gardner said that the minds OF
today were being focused on the pr1n-
ciples involved in the world war and
the danger of the German menace, but
far greater than this awful menace he
declared was the menace of ignorance
Here he came out strong for giving
every child the fullest chance for an
education and quoted from the memo
rable educational utterances Of the
lamented Charles Brantley Aycock,
the great educational governor OF the
States.
Tribute to Cary High School.
Then he paid high tribute to the
Cary High School and asked who
could measure the influence Of the in
stitution? He referred to the fact
that Cary was noted for this splendid
institute when he was a student at
the A. and M. College. He declared
that it was greater than any cotton
factory or industrial enterprise in the
county. This was factory taking
boys and girls and turning out men
and women.
Don't think because you are poor
financially that this world is to be
dreary for you, because, he said, some
of the greatest giants in world affairs
were nurtured at the breast of power
ty, and some of the greatest men the
country has produced were reared in
log cabins.
War Calls for Team Work.
He then turned his attention to the
war and the part that every one should
take. The situation, he declared, call
ed for team work. America he declar-
ed was in the greatest game people
ever died for in the preservation or
the liberty of the world. There Is
something majestic as well as cruel In
this great conflict, he asserted. The
fire of war he declared was eliminat-
ing the dross of selfishness and has
demonstrated the helplessness of men
and the supremenes Of God.
God pity the puny soul Of the man,
he said, who did not hear the cry OF
the distressed world and did not has
ten to do his part.
