Those Who Shoot Of Their Mouth

Wilmington Star.
Two Robson county men, one white
and the other colored, are in the tolls,
and the worst Of it is that Uncle Sam
is handling the tolls. They talked too
much. They shot off their mouth.
"By the words Of their mouth shall
they be condemned" Their neighbors
have passed judgment or them and
it is that the two men are disloyal,
having uttered words that NO loyal
man would utter while his country is
at war However, Uncle Sam will in
vestigate them in court and if he
passes judgment or them they will
be deprived, te,-, ~2-c~ily at least, of
their American freedom Anyhow,
| their case IS : :: ming to others.
AS nlatter - course, while this
! country is at wsr and her true sons
are dying in bate, the enemy who
| shoots at lei :. tie front will be
dealtn with, and so will the enemy
who sloo-s off +: mouth i'll the rear.
Some of the men who are doing too
much talking say their liberty is be-
ing denied them, but they have it
| dOped out wrong. All men nave their
liberty on two main conditions-tiat It
they are loyal and true to the allie
glance they have sworn as condi-
ton of their freedom and liberty;
that they obey the laws and are law
abiding. If, therefore, men are dis
loyal or are not law-abid;ng they are
deprived of liberty and sent to jail
or the penitentiary. Nobody denies
them their liberty. They forfeit il
themselves. They get themselves III
the tolls themselves.
TIE man who steals or otherwise
violates the Law, VIXEN convicted OF
the same, is condemned on the evi-
i derce against him. Those vino are
d! disloyal and violate the oath of thei,
allegiance to their country are CON
demned by their acts and by the words
of their mouth as well They are re.
! sponsible for what may happen tc
them.

WHO WILL VOLUNTEER?
Statesville Landmark.

can imagine no finer thing for
CITY woman to do in this war emer-
gency than to go to the farm for the
harvest, or for some other period of
labor strain, to help the country sis
ter bear the burdens of kitchen and
farm.-Clarence Ousley, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture.
That would be fine indeed. It would
give the city woman new, and for
many of them a much-needed light,
on the country sisters job; and if the
city sister was a real helper in time
i of need her services would be appre-
| ciated, it would draw city and town
| together. cement friendships and work
| revolution in our social order. And
it would be a real help to win the
| war. This is for the city women who
have time to spare and who are anx-
ious to help, not for those who bear
the burdens Of housekeeping, caring
for the children and working the gar
dens. Their burden already equals
| that of the country sister.
Who will volunteer? How many
city women will agree to help the
country women during harvest or the
canning season?
Now for the city men: Il will de-
spise American manhood" says Mr..
Ousley, ''if our men permit our wo-
men to be drafted for the hard tasks
of agriculture (sent to the field) un-
til every able-bodied creature in
breeches,, is in the trenches or in the
| fields; and Mr.. Ousley calls atten-
tion to the fact that thousands of men
in the cities-clerks, bookkeepers
walters, cooks, etc.,-are doing work

How many city men will surrender
their jobs to women and go to the
fields and help the farmers? Who
will volunteer? Speak up early tt
