NOT LOOK AT IT
FROM VIEW POINT OF
MORAL RECTITUDE
Boys Who Broke Into Neigh
bors House Considered
Detection Only.

Before Judge W. NJ. Bushey's court
ia few days ago there came up the
great moral question as to whether a
boy should be taught to do right be.
cause it is right, or whether the folks at
home 10 give him to understand that if
he does wrong he may get caught, and
then must suffer the consequences.
Sunday, August IL, four boys running
in age from Is to II years living in the
Hazelgreen neighborhood happened to
meet in the road near a neighbor's houee
whom they knew was not at home nor in
the neighborhood.
According to the evidence given be-
fore district attorney Max Cellar and
County Judge Bushey, the boys decided
to rob that neighbours house. There
seemed to be no question as to whether
it was right, That the boys knew was
that as the owner was not at home, thcre
was no chance of getting caught. Ev
eryone of the boys was a fine looking
young fellow, Of whom any mothet
might be proud. But from their view
point there was no question brought out
as to whether il was right to steal. This
point Of view was developed in the cross
examination Of each in private.
The boys entered the house and stole
a ring, watch, pair of cuff buttons,
pocket knife and pther trinkets. Then
they helped themselves TO some jam and
Jelly to finish the job, feeling secure as
no one was at home.
The owner, upon his return home,
swore out warrants against the four
boys and a few days ago they were
brought in for trial before the county
court, their parents accompanying them,
In talking with each boy separately,
Mr.. Gehlhar and Judge Bushey discussed
the moral side Of the question and il
developed that while each Of the boys
was willing to tell the truth regarding
the robbery, having been told to do 81
by their parents. their view Of doing
wrong seemed to show that there had
not been instilled into the minds of tho
boys the thought of doing right because
it is right. Their idea was that one must
not DO wrong or he might get caught.
The parents of the four boys paid the
amount Of the loss by the robbery and
as they had told the boys to tell the
truth about it and the boys each one
confessed, the ease was dismissed.
But the big problem in the boys
question as Judge Bushey and Prosccut'
ing Attorney Gehlhar view it, is whether
or not it is the duty Of parents to in
still into the minds Of their boys tho
great idea Of doing right because IL i
right, and not simply as a matter of
keeping out Of the clutches Of the ia~.

GROW MORE SHEEP.
Fair Dog Control Law SHOULD Be
Passed By Next Legislature.

Between $500 and 5000 people at
tended the sheep meeting at Winston
Salem, N. C. on July Goth. This was
one Of the largest and best Of the nu-
merous meetings which are being held
at various points in the State for the
purpose Of getting fair and just dog
control law at the next meeting Of the
Legislature, states Mr.. r. S. Curtis of
the Agricultural Extension Service.
The sentiment Of the meeting was
to grow more sheep, to make more
meat, and more wool to help win the
war. The active campaign which has
been under way in this State consider
ably more than a year has taken root
and is finding numerous supporters
when the real facts are brought to
their attention, these being the pro-
lection of human life, food conserva-
ton, and the promotion Of the sheep,
swine and poultry industries which
are greatly menaced by the uncon-
trolled dog.
The Importance of this movement
is beginning to tell in the hearty sup
port which the press is giving it. The
newspaper articles and editorials ap-
pearing frequently in the various
State papers show that after all mere
sentiment cannot suppress the import
ant industries menaced by the roam
ing dog, which at the same time en-
dangers human life and hinders food
conservation.

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.'

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have whole quarter pint Of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach. clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

count for New Basia

misunderstanding August 1, the
voluntary sugar ration of household
consumers will be two pounds per per-
son per month and the allotment of
certificates for sugar to hotels, res
taurants, boarding-houses, county
homes and similar institutions will be
On a basis of two pounds for each
reduction of 33 1-3 per cent.
The rationing plan in so far as
household consumers are concerned is
more or less voluntary but all retail
merchants are expected to confne
their sales of sugar to two pounds per
person per month for the families
they SELL In fact this is the only way
to secure an equitable distribution Of
sugar as the allotment by the Food
Administration to the State is based
on this ration and the certificates al
lowed to merchants are also based on
this ration.
Supply Is Small.
The sugar situation confronting the
United States is described by the Food
Administration as follows:
'The sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories,
and bakeries are at low ebb; the pro-
duction from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops has been disap-
pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipat-
ed: and the inability of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account of the imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation the
quantity needed by the army and navy
greatly exceeds earlier estimates; we
must send a large amount to France
and Italy to take the place of the
great volume lost through the German
and Austrian invasions during which
much beet land was over-run and
many factories destroyed; we have to
supply certain quantities to neutral
nations under agreements; and finally
over fifty million pounds were lost re-
Gently through submarine sinkings of
our Atlantic coast"
It's an Essential Element"
In asking the public voluntarily to
reduce their consumption to a level
more nearly equal to the compulsory
restrictions in effect in France, Eng
land and Italy, the statement says that
while sugar is often used as a luxury
in America, it has become an essen
tial element for the success of the
war among the nations Of Europe"
Upon our action here" the state
mept continues, depends the posi-
bility OF maintaining the ration to ou,
own fighting men and those of the
Allies as we'll as OF avoiding a still fur
ther reduction of the allotments to ths
civil populations Of the nations fight
Ing Germany which are already dow,

Raleigh-No actual hardships ts go
ing to result in North Carolina from
the acute shortage of sugar which ex-
lists at this time and there is no rea-
son at all why the quantities of fruits
that are canned and preserved should
be lessened in any degree. This Is
the frankly expressed opinion Of State
Food Administrator Henry A. Page,
Conservation Chairman John Paul
Lucas and Mrs, Jane S. McKimmon,
Director of Home Economics for the
Food Administration and Head Of
Home Demonstration activities in
North Carolina.
Experiments Encourage.
Food Administration officials have
been greatly concerned over the sugar
shortage, and still are for that matter,
but they have been greatly encourag-
ed and relieved during the past few
days by the marked success OF expert
ments that have been conducted by
Mrs. McKimmon and her wide-awake
assistants in the use OF cane syrup,
sorghum, corn syrup, corn sugar and
other procurable sugar substitutes.
Mrs. McKimmon and her forces are
working over time on these tests and
are preparing tried and proven for
mulas and recipes which, with accom-
panying suggestions, will be printed
by the Food Administration in the
form Of bulletin or leafat in the i'm
mediate future for distribution
throughout North Carolina. The for
mulas being prepared by Mrs. McKim-
mon will be verify largely used in other
States also, Washington authorities
being keenly interested in them and
recognizing the splendid ability of
Mrs. McKimmon's organization in this
line of work.
Can Add Sugar Later.
1t Is recognized fact that sugar
does increase the palatability of can.
ned fruits but the product may be
saved just as easily without the addi-
ton of sugar, according to Mrs. Nc
k1mmon. In fact large number of
housewives have always canned with
out sugar. adding sugar only when the
fruit is opened and used. Peaches, ap-
pies, pears. berries. ETC., which are de.
sired for marmalade. jelly, jam or
preserves, may be CANNED now and
made into the ultimate product weeks
or months from now when, if sugar ia
not available, there will certainly be
available a considerable quantity Of
cane syrup, corn syrup, corn sugar,
sorghum, or other substitute.
Experiments have developed the
fact that for best results different SUBJ
st1tutes must be used for different
fruits or different products and the
tests are for the purpose Of deter
mining which substitutes may be most
satisfactorily used in each kind OF
frult. Mrs. NJ. M Davis, of Mrs. Nc.
kimmon's organization, is usfur tn
her demonstrations samples of apple.
peach and pineapple marmalade made
with syrup instead of sugar, and con.
noisseurs agree that the product does
not suffer at all in comparison with
similar products containing sugar.
Reports to the agricultural forces
and Food Administration here indt.
cate that there is large acreage Of
| cane planted for syrup in North Caro-.
/ lima this year and large production
| OF syrup Is anticipated.
