NO BETTER TOWN
ANYWHERE
Visitors Are Impressed With City
Like Appearance of Lumberton,
the Hustle of Its People and Its
Excellent Hotel.

That Lumberton people are justified
in the pride they have in their town,
in their boast that there is no better
town on the map, size considered, is
shown by the impression the town
makes upon visitors; and the oftener
one is visitor and the more one
does that first impression become.
Just a few instances:
A St. Louis man who was visitor
here last week told Mr.. H. VI. Meal
lister, president of the First National
Bank, that Lumberton is the best
town he has found in the South, the
livest and most city-like and that its
hotel is not surpassed in many cities.
In Thursdays Robesonian was an
important news item telling Of tex
tile school to be conducted here dur
ing the summer. Other towns are
clamoring for such a school but Lum-
berton was selected to begin the work
because one Of the best-known men
in the State who is connected with
the department that has this work in
charge, considers Lumberton the best
town in the State.
Recently some Northern men who
came to this section to hunt came to
Lumberton and stopped at the Lor-
raine for a meal, and they liked the no
tel so we'll that they Immediately NOV
ed to it and stayed there two weeks.
when they went farther South, and
they expect to return here later.
Without any fuss or feather Lum-
berton has struck gait that impress
es all who pass this way.

BROAD RIDGE BREEZES.
Observing Meatless and Wheat

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Broad Ridge (Lumberton, r. ~
Feb. 9.-Farmers are all preparing for
another crop in this section.
War is all the talk nowadays but
I'm one that doesn't want to hear it..
There's one man in this section that
misses his biscuits for breakfast. He
has been to all the little towns In
Britts, and has failed every time.
There's an old man up here who
found some time ago an Indian
spike" He says he is going to keep
it until he goes to the war.
Every one is requested to OBJ
serve one "meatless'' day in every
week, but this scribe observes seven
"meatless" days, and / think shall
soon be observing six "eatless days
in every week. Wheatless days are
also observed and why they don't
send some Of the rice and grits to the
camps for the soldiers to eat as well

WEEKLY MILITARY REVIEW.
Washington, DISPATCH, Feb. 10.

Washington, Dispatch, Feb. 10.
Development of Germany's long
deferred offensive in the west from
the accommodating thrusts launched
during the past week around Cambria
and at other points is suggested as
a possibility in the weekly military
review issued, tonight by the War De-
partment. So far, however, in spite
of heavy fighting the department
says no actions Of more than local
character have been recorded.
The review tells of the torpedoing
of the liner Tuscania, which carried
more than 2,100 American soldiers
and attributed the relatively small
loss of life, estimated at about 113
men to the fine discipline of the sol
diers and efficiency of those in COM
mand. 1t expresses profound appre-
citation of the rescue work of the
British navy.
Describing briefly the activities Of
the American troops occupying sec
tor of the Lorraine front the depart
ment says they have shown them
selves well fitted for their task and
are rapidly becoming accustomed to
| trench warfare.

balanced.
Miss Maggie Mercer, aged about
30 years, left the home of Mr.. Neill
Russ, with whom she lives near Bar
ker church, last Monday morning
about o'clock and was not found till
Tuesday at 1870 a. m. Miss Mer-
GERS mind has been unbalanced for
some time and she left home with
out a coat and was bareheaded.
Neighbors hunted for her Monday and
Monday night and continued the
search Tuesday until she was found.
When found she was lying on the
ground almost frozen to death. 1t
will be remembered that Monday
night was very cold. The old lady
could not walk when found. She gave
as her reason for leaving home that
she was afraid they were going to
take her to the hospital When asked
if she was cold Monday night, she
said no, and added that two little
girls dressed in white kept her warm.
The people of the Barker's section
were much stirred up over Miss Mer-
GERS action; it was feared that she
had fallen into mill pond near the

NAi' IL u. olea1S, SouIlIy lOOu duIliA-
istrator, attended in Ra;leigh last
Wednesday a meeting of the county
food administrators of the State as
stated in Thursdays Robesonian. The
meeting was called by State Food Ad-
ministrator H. A. Page for the pur-
pose of discussing with the county
food administrators the new food reg
ulatlons and requirements.
When interviewed by a Robesorian
impressions oii the FOOD conditions.
Mr. Stacy said:
"Ihe meeting was like d Democrat
lc convention. Practically all the one
hundred county food administrators
were present and all seemed anxious
for information. The morning session
Was taken up with asking and an
sWerlng questions. In reply to the
question as to whether or not the pub
lie should De informed as to the real
food situation, Mr.. Page made it
known that he thought the facts
should be given the public Us they are.
Flour Situation.
speaking of the flour situation, Mr.
Page said that in his opinion if the
people were allowed to use flour as
they had been using it the supply
would run out by April 1. The nlan
of not selling flour where like num-
ber Of pounds Of cereals are bought
was adopted in order to bridge over
until the new crop of wheat is put on
the market. The new crop should be
ready for the market by July.
MIR. Page stated that in his opin-
ion If the war lasts through 1913 the
government will have to ration the
people
Robson Folks Cooperating.
When asked how the people see med
to be complying with the food reguia-
tions, Mr.. Stacy said that reports
showed that where the public had
been informed about the new rulings
they are complying with them Judg-
ing from reports, the people of Robe
son are cooperating better than they
are in some other counties, Mr.. Stacy
continued.
Farmers Who Have Supply of Meal.
In reply to question about farm
ers who have their own meal getting
flour, Mr.. Stacy said that farmer
can take his meal to town, sell it to
a merchant, and buy the same meal
back, and he can get a pound of flour
back from the merchant. However,
the farmer must take the meal to
town, as the merchant is not allowed
to sell flour to farmer because he
says he has his meal at home.
Cereals That May Be Sold With Flour.
Mr.. Stacy said that some of the
| merchants had been selling flour with
shirstuff and middlings, which are
used as hog feed. This is a violation
of the food regulations. The ruling
says flour can only be sold pound for
pound with edible shorts or middlings.
Mr.. Stacy added that the cereals with
which flour can be sold are corn meal,
grits, hominy, rice, oatmeal, soy bean
flour, edible wheat shorts or mid
dlings, and some other cereals not
known to this section.
The administrators were entertain
ed at lunch at the Marlborough hotel
and Mr.. Stacy said the meeting as a
whole was very pleasant.
Four women are serving as county
food administrators. A woman is
serving in that capacity in Scotland

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.
Military Activity in Major Thea
tres of War Daily Increases
Americans Clash With Germans
Again.

The military activity in the major
theatres Of the war daily continues to
increase. From the North Sea all
along the line in Belgium and France
and on the r iorthern Italian front
from the region Of Lake Garda east
ward toward the Piave river, there
have been clashes between opposing
infantrymen at various points and
bombardments Of extremely violent
proportions on numerous sectors.
Again American troops holding the
line in the region of s. Mihiel have
come into contact witt. the Germans
and suffered few casualties. These
men operating in that dangerous ter
ritory between the territory lines
known as "No-Man's-Land," were am
bushed by superior force of the en-
great odds until they were either kill
ed or made prisoner. Only one man
out of the little party of ten succeeded
in regainn1g the American trenches,
and he was wounded. Five of the
Americans are believed to have been
| killel. The other four are missing.
Immediately the patrol was attack

in the trenches laid down a barrage
against the Germans and judging
from the remarkable accuracy of aim

that some members of the enemy par

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-12-27
GREETINGS

The True Northerner extends New
Year Greetings to its large circle
of readers and patrons. We are
grateful for the many expressions of
goodwill, and the splendid cooper
alton in the past that has been a
great inspiration to us during the
year just ending. The outlook for
the year about to begin, presents a
brighter aspect from every stand
point than did the corresponding
period of last year. Wonderful
things have been accomplished during
the old year, and every individual in
every community has had part in
the great achievements of the year.
The accomplishments of the next
twelve months will in all probability
be more marked, so far as individuals
are concerned than during the last
year. Each individual has just as
great responsibility on his should
ers as during the progress of the
great war, and every citizen in the
land will meet that responsibility
with just as great a determination
and with just as high a degree of
efficiency as every problem of the
past has been met. 1t is this
spirit which gives this nation its
greatness. In expressing apprecia-
ton for the cooperation extended in
the past, The True Northerner, be-
speaks for its patrons, that continu-
ance of goodwill and assistance which
will enable this publication to do its
part in the work of the future. We
pledge our best to merit continuance
of good will and cooperation. A
happy and Prosperous New Year, is
our greeting.
