How many spoonsful. please?
 None. thank you"
 And you Have qualified then and there to join those patriotic Americans in all parts of the na- tion who believe that it Is the little things that count in winning this war and are acting on that belief
 Is there such league among your friends. or do they smile sheepishly and demand two spoons ful of sugar in every cupful of cof- fee. It takes s6 level teaspoonsful, only 4s rounded teaspoonsful and only 32 heaping teaspoonsful of sugar to make a pound.
 The sugar question has grown more serious recently on account of our great army program. which has absorbed more of our shipping fa- cilities. and also the increased Al lied needs. It. is the duty of every person in the United States to join forces. willingly, pleasantly and Immediately to help tide the world over the shortage. Health will not be impaired by the few spoonsful which each person will sacrifice.
 The Americans at the front have come up to all expectations in the face of battle. Surely the Ameri4 cans behind the battle line will not fail when their test comes. The test time is here. Appoint your self an active member of the League to Save Sugar by Spoons ful.

LOSSES FROM FOREST FIRES
Total Losses in North Carolina Dur.
ing 1917 Amounted to $675, ,723.

The official report on forest fires in
North Carolina during 1917, lust is
sued by the North Carolina Geologi-
cal and Economic Survey, shows $685.
723 total losses. These are divided.
$253, 1873 in that group of counties con-
stltuting the mountain region; $685.
918 in the Piedmont section, and $685.
622 In the coastal plain section of the
State. The biggest per cent of the
fires the causes for which are known
was burning brush, there having been
2S per cent started in this way. 9th
er notable causes were, hunters. ten
per cent; campers, two per cent; rail-
roads, II per cent; numbering, Is per
cent; incendiary, per cent; and light
ming, one per cent. The cauSeE of
twe-ty per cent Of the fires reported
are unknown. The average damape bv
1917 forest fires the State over, was
1857, compared with a previous aver
age for three years $3.50. :,
While the forest fire losses for 1917
were not nearly so heavy as they were
for 1916 the decrease is somewhat
due to the great areas burned over
in 1917 and not nearly so liable to fire
damage as they were before the fires
swept them. The Geological SURVEY
and Fire Marshal James R. Young
would have the people in these forest
areas, now so greatly enhanced in
their value to the owners and to the
industrial life of the state and the ma
ton, to exercise the greatest possible
care and caution in preventing these
forest fires. This, too, is one of the
seasons Of the year when there is
greatest danger of the starting and

PROMINENT WOMAN
OF WALNUT GROVE
HELPED BY DREC0
Husband Tells of Quick Relief At
ter is Years of Suffering
"Dreco Has Brought Joy to Our


Family" He Says.
!. Here is story told by A. A. Rover,
the prominent .jeweler of Walnut
Grove. He has consented to give it to
the public through this newspaper IN
order that other sufferers who might
think their cases hopeless may read
and act accordingly. Here rs his
signed statement:
any wife broke down in health 10
years ago. She was victim of stom-
ach and liver trouble, constipation and
severe pains in the back and limbs.
She has been treated by best doctors
and has taken l.lany different kinds OF
medicine.
"She read of Dreco and I bought
two bottles for her, and what this
medicine has done for her las brought
joy to our family.
She had heavy pain in her side
that eventually worked around to her
back. Her liver was sluggish and she
couldn't eat much. She couldn't sleep
enough to do her any good. But now
she eats hearty meals, sleeps all night
long and the pains have gone from her
side and. back. She is now able to do
all her household duties"
This is but one case out of hun
dreds. Men and women who have suf-
fered and tried everything without
permanent relief are coming forward
to tell of the good they are getting
out of this wonderful herb medicine.
Dreco.
Dreco is not an expensive treat
ment It is pleasant to take and its
effects are felt almost instantly.
Anybody can try Dreco without in
reference with their work or other
duties. It is sold at almost all modern
drug stores and is particularly rec:
commended in Lumberton by all good
druggists.

THE VICTORY DRIVE.

"A Victory Drive began on Thanks
giving day and will extend to Friday
of this week, December 6, for the
purpose Of winding up the War Saw
ings campaign in North Carolina. The
thing that Immediately concerns the
people Of Robson county is the task
of making their own record clean.
Robson county's war record is
now 100 per cent perfect. It has sue
ceeded splendidly in it's four Liberty
Loan campaigns, in its Red Cross,
Y. M. c. A. and United War Work
drives. In the United War Work
drive just ended the county exceeded
its minimum quota by more than GO
per cent. The county's record is to
be saved or lost this year by it's rec
ord in the War Savings drive.
The other day The Robesonian pub
lished map showing the standing of
the counties of North Carolina in the
War Savings campaign. That map
showed that Robson county is yet
a considerable distance from the goal.
Up to November 1st Robson coun-
tvs standing was as follows: Quota
of War Savings stamps, $1,O59 ,28O;
amount pledged, $3.50, 900, or $3.50 per
cent (barely more than half. The
amount actually purchased to that
date was only $247,223, or 1884 per
cent. The county's standing in sales
among the counties of the State was
7S, up to October 1st, and only one
better, or 70, up to November 1st.
The record made by Robson county
boys at the front has been complete
success. They have made a perfect
score in efficiency, in courage, in pa
triotism-in meeting every demand
made upon them. Shall we who re-
manned at home make less perfect
rccord?
We know that some people are in
clined to think that Robson county's
ahota 'is too large. What should we
think Of soldier who, when asked to
face what seemed certain death en-
the battlefield, should say that the
demand was too great, that he could
not be expected to take such a risk
It is just the old question of whether
we shall be more tender with our
dollars than we have. been with our
boys.
We are told that the money is need
ed by the Government. That should
be sufficient. And it will be no hard
ship on the county to purchase the
full amount asked of it. It will be
a blessing, rather. If every person
will purchase War Savings stamps to
the extent of her or his ability the
county will be that much richer.
What are we going to do during
the remaining five days of the drive /?
IT each person will answer that ques-
ton honestly and patriotically the
county's record will remain 100 per
cent perfect,
