USE OF BAMBOO

Our little brown brothers in
the tropics c annot understand
how citizens of the United States
get along without bamboo, ac-
cording to United States Marines,
returning to San Francisco from
the Philippines.
The Filipinos use bamboo for
everything. They build their
shacks from this material exclu-
sively, using stout poles for the
supports, flattened-out bamboo
for the sides and floors, and bind
the whole together with tough
bamboo fibre. 1t is also used for
the construction of barrels to
carry water, and green bamboo,
hollowed-out, is used as a re-
ceptacle in which the natives
cook their rice. The friction
caused by rubbing together two
sticks cut from this useful tree
will start a fire in less than three
minutes.
The U. S. Marines have con-
vinced the Filipinos that America
is very wonderful place, but
when told that we do not culti-
vate bamboo, the islanders are
inclined to be a bit skeptical.

"JIMMY, THE ANT-EATER"

Jimmy, the ant-eater," mas
cot of the U. S. Marines in
France, just wont eat ants.
He'll eat anything but ants,
although once in awhile the cook
slips it over on him by camou-
flaging insects in scraps of bread.
Of course, Jimmy thinks he's
eating raisin bread-but what's
the difference?
Jimmy became attached to the
Marines at Vera Cruz, more than
two years ago, and since then
has led an adventuresome life.
When the sea-soldiers went over
seas, he went along.
He greatly puzzles the French
poilu with his choice of foods.
He eats all the scraps-even ci-
gar and cigarette butts don't go
amiss.
In short, he eats anything and
everything but ants.

FARMERS TO GET NITRATE

Notice has been given to A. B.
Ballantyne, Agricultural Agent
for Graham county, that the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
will sell at cost a supply of nitrate
of soda to farmers in Graham
county.
The nitrate was purchased
thru the War Industries Board,
under the'authority of the Food
Control Act. as a part of the pro-
gram for stimulating agricultural
production. 1t will be unioaded
at Atlantic ports and the price
will be SIS. so a ton, free on board
cars at port of arrival. Farmers
are to pay in addition freight
from port of arrival and the
State fertilizer tag fee.
Applications for part of the
100, 600 tons of nitrate bought by
the government will be received
only from actual farmers or own
ers or holders of farms for use
on their land, and may be made
through County Agent A. B.
Ballantyne.
No money will be required with
the application, but upon notice
from the County Agent farmers
who have signed applications
must deposit with a local bank,
association or individual, desig-
mated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture to act as the farmers
agent for that purpose, money
to cover the cost of the fertilizer,
except the freight charge. After
the money is transmitted to
Washington, the nitrate will be
shipped to the farmers. If ap-
plications for the nitrate exceed
the supply of about 100, 900 tons,
the government will allot the
supply on a pro rata basis among
those who applied. Applications
must be received by February 4th.
Graham guardian., 1918-02-01
CONSERVE COAL

The United States Fuel Ad.
ministration has urged upon the
American people the necessity
for conserving coal and has asked
that it's use be entirely dispensed
with where possible. This re-
quest, if complied with, will
strengthen our country in two
vitally important ways: First,
it will make more certain the
supply of coal needed to manu-
facture munitions; second, it will
relieve the railroads of the strain
of moving coal for domestic use
when there are other and more
important things for. them to
apply their equipment to for the
successful prosecution of the war.
Here in the western part of the
country, the use of coal is parti-
cularly serious, for it has to be
brought to US over many hun
dreds of miles from Utah, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming. Every effort
should be made to curtail the use
of coal. We have available sup
plies of wood and oil and these
should be used in preference to
coal wherever possible. Oil
heaters and Pearl oil should be
more generally used, for they
supply an excellent, steady heat
at low cost and keep the house
comfortable in cold weather with
out recourse to the use of coal,
so vital to the worlds cause of
liberty at the present time.

DUTY OF OUR BANKS
In Making the War for
Liberty a Success for
Our Country

The following letter relative to
the part the banks must take in
the financing of the war was re-
ceived from r. l.. Van Zandt,
governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank, of Dallas, Texas:
DALLAS, TEXAS,
January %. 1918.
To the Banks and Bankers of the
Eleventh District:
You must bring to yourself realiza-
tion of the fact that in order for our
participation in the Great War to be
effective and to result in an early and
succe essful termination of the war, it
will be necessary for you to do your
part toward financing our government.
AT present war is the business of the
United States and your every effort
must be exerted toward making it a
successful business.
Primarily the banks must bear an
important part Of this burden and for
time forget the pleasure and satisfac-
ton to be derived from large earnings
and use every available dollar in financ-
ing our government between the bond
issues by purchases of the several issues
of treasury certificates of indebtedness
which are being offered from time to
time.
The financing of enterprises and
businesses not necessary to the conduct
of the war nor incidental thereto, and
the financing of speculation must i'm
mediately stop.
While banks could probably make
larger profits from such transactions,
the rate Of interest on these short time
certificates of Indebtedness is sufficient.
ly large to give fair return on the
investment. and, as our President has
said: Patriotism and Profits must
not be mentioned in the same breath"
No bank in the entire United States
can afford to fail to subscribe for these
certificates, ana the time to send in
your subscription is today.
To some of you the purchase of these
certificates may mean sacrifice, but
to what an infinitestimal extent does
your sacrifice compare to that supreme
sacrifice which is being made, and will
be made, by thousands of our men who
go to the front to do the actual fight
ing for us.
The Secretary of the Treasury, has
allotted to the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District minimum of Ten Million
Dollars out of total of Four Hundred
Million Dollars of the present offering
of certificates, which are dated January
%, 1918. and will mature on April %,
1918. and with proper response from
our banks this minimum should be sew
eral times over-subscribed.
Read our circular of January 18th
announcing this offering and communi-
cate with us Immediately.
Yours very earnestly,
r. l.. VAN ZANDT,
Governor.
