the long months of the fighting is

sent back to this country to re
cover.
IF it were not for the Y. Nj. c. A

would not be here today. The at
teBtion which they gave me during
my four months in the hospital was
all that kept me from going west
am as sure of that as l am OF
anything"
Praises Work.
The speaker praised the high eff
hCseucy OF these organizations,
which enabled them to be right be
hind the soldier at all times, arriv-
ing at the front with him and stay
ing there as long as he remained,
keeping up with him in his advance
and cheering him every step of the
way. If it had not been for these
organized relief agencies. he said.
,ne soldier would have had a hard
time obtaining anything, All that
could be picked up in France was
little chocolate, he declared, and
even that was poor. But the mo-
mcut the y. NJ c. A and the other
organizations got on the field there
were plenty of delicacies to appease
the hungry appetite and not the
least in importance was the com
r0rting word and the helping hand
extended to the doughboy in dis
tTess.
Give Amusement
This cheering work. he said, be
san on the transport and followed
the lighting man clear through TO
his destination. Entertainments
u ere staged on shipboaTd and or
sanitation secretaries were on ev-
cry seagoing carrier to minister to
the wants OF the soldier Hardly
mad his unit arrived at Verdun, be
fore the women OF the Salvation
Army were serving them dOughnuts
from a kitchen hastily thrown to-
gether in the basement of what had
formerly been a millinery store. In
this same sector, a Y. NJ. G. a. man,
whom the boys ahectiOnately called
"Old Dad" came IN advance of the
troops with his khaki tent and open
ed headquar eTs for their use. He
was warned not to be so venture
some, as d khaki tent made a shin
ing mark for a boche air bomb, but
this did not deter him. Sure
enough, the tent was blown up that
very night, but fortunately no one
was injured and the next day odd
Dad was again on duty and stayed
With his boys until they moved
on.
1t was work like this. he said,
that had endeared the Y. NJ. c. A.
and kindred organizations to the
soldier on foreign soil and it was
his opinion that they deserved all
the support d grateful American
public could give in carrying out
their plans for next years activi-
ties. The social facilities offered
by the huts which these societies
maintain were of incalculable bene-
fit. according to the speaker, and
they need plenty of them. If one
hut is crowded, the soldier likes to
know there is another one close by
where he can be accommodated.
Great credit is also due the enter
tainers brought over by these or
CARNATIONS. said Private Chalfant,

methods that were at work.

In rendering this my resignation as
State organizer-lecturer may I ven
ture the suggestion that as temper
airy expediency in a convention at
tempt to make a martyr of an official
who seeks reelection by holding out
the idea that an attack upon him IS
equivalent to an attack upon the
Farmers Union, may serve an imme-
date purpose, as it has done, but in
this age of the dissemination of in
telligence by rural mail delivery, the
effects of that sort Of campaigning
can not be very far-reaching.
This severing of my official con-
nection does not imply that / have
any personal grievances whatever, or
that / have in any way lost faith in
the ultimate possibilities of rural Or
ganization directed along practical
lines, or that my services, as far as
practical, will not be available to COM
munities interested in rural organiza-
ton. There has probably never been
more opportune time to begin to or
ganize a successor to the Farmers
Union, which should retain most of its
finances in the local organization and
under plan that will make the struc.
ture stronger at its foundation, as II
should be.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.

Bonds Will Mature in Ten Years
Loan Campaign Will Last Just 4
Weeks-Pay For Bonds in Install.
ments.
The legislative foundation for the.
third Liberty loan was laid Thursday
night when Congress completed and
President Wilson signed the bill au-
thorlzing issuance of additional bonds
at IA per cent
Earlier in the day the treasury an
nounced that the bonds would mature
IN ten years, that the loan campaign,
opening Saturday, will continue four
weeks until May 4th, and that after
the initial payment of five per cent on
subscription, installments of 20. 35
and 40 per cent would be due respec-
lively on May %, July IS, and August
Is. The amount is $4,000, OOO, 900 and
over-subscriptions and the only re-
naming details to be determined by
the treasury are the arrangements for
conversion of bonds of the first and
second loans into the third Liberty
bonds.
Within an hour after President
Wilson signed the bond bill, the first
completed bond of the third Liberty
loan came from the press of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. It
was $50 'baby bond" and was care
fully laid aside by James L. Wilmeth,
director of the bureau, for special dis
position to be determined later Forty
thousand more bonds will be ready in
the morning, 100000 by Saturday and
thereafter they will be turned out at
the rate of 100000 day to supply
demands for cash sales and immediate
delivery.

No Man Has Right to Individual
Opinion at This Time-Winning OF
the War Largely Depends on Unan-
unity of Speech as Well as Act.

Judge James E. Boyd OF Green's
boro always makes eminently sensl-
BILE and timely remarks at the open
ing of his courts. In his charge to
the Federal grand jury in Charlotte
the other day he said in part, accord
ing to newspaper reports:
"At this time no man has rlgnt
to individual opinion. There should
be but one opinion. The winning OF the
war largely depends on this unanlmlty
of speech as we'll as act. There are
those who will tell you that this IS
a rich mans war and poor, man
fight. Whenever a man tells you
that. tell him he is a liar. The rich
man must give both money and ser
vice The poor man has only one thing
to give. himself The loyalty and duty
Of the Individual American cannot
be too strongly emphasized. In my
opinion the danger is in the rear, not
the front ranks America is sending
the flower Of her manhood into bat
tie. No more gallant soldiers ever
marched to the front, but are those
in the rear doing their duty! salo

Daring of Allied Aviators.

From Associated Press Dispatch
April 1.
A word must be said for the Allied
aviators, who from the beginning of
the battle have worked incessantly
taking the place Of cavalry for re-
commissioners and often descending
to an altitude of hundred feet or
less to attack with machine guns the
advancing infantry. Their daring
seemed to have an almost paralvz-
ing effect on the German foot SOL
diers, but often when the airmen re-
turned to the airdromes to obtain more
ammunition their airplanes were
found to be absolutely riddled with
bullet holes.
