BY Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner

The little children in this neighbor-
hood have learned to distinguish the
mess call.
Immediately it is sounded, they
troup out from every conceivable cor
ner, taking their places around the
men, watching with eager, hungry eyes
every bite that is dished out. A fellow
can't eat his prunes very comfortably
with such an audience, and the men
here have divided every meal with
these little fellows, who are the chill

A hometown" private, one of the
Engineers who has been building rail-
armies in France, sent that message
home. He is one of the men who has
been dividing his daily ration of soup

Items From Last Weeks Maxton
ton Scottish Chief.

The many friends of Mr.. j. D.
Mclean Of Fairmont, who has been in
Highsmith's hospital, Fayetteville
several weeks ago and was operated
on Wednesday for a growth in his
stomach, is reported improving. We
presume therefore that the growth
was not malignant, as was feared.
Mr.. J. w. Carter, Jr., returned
Sunday from Washington, where he
was detained several days with la
grippe. While in the capital city
having had his discharge from tile
army on account of a defect in one
foot from contracted leader, ne en-
listed as yoeman in the navy to en-
ter training at Key West, when called.
This increases Maxton's naval con-
tingent, which was already large.
Rev. H. H. Hunnisut and family
arrived Saturday and filled his pulpit
Sunday as pastor for the first time.
His congregation was delighted with
the service. They moved into the Nc
Nair house on West Sanders street,
where we trust they will find happi-
mes
Mr.. De E. McNair of Hopewell.
Va, came Friday to spend awhile
with his brother, Mr.. Rory MacNair,
and family. He has been sitting up
with Mr.: c. F. Maynard, who had
his back injured by fall at Hopewell
as told in last weeks Chief-thus
showing the heart he possesses over
flowing with sympathy for his fell
lows. Mr.. Maynard is somewhat i'm
proved since reaching home.
Mr.. J. w. Carter is improving
though he is still detained from his
place of business. We trust that he
may soon regain his health.
Mr.. W. c. Currie has moved to
Raeford, where he will be associated
in business with Messrs. A. K. and
w. NJ. Currie.
Another Maxton young man has
entered the service. Rev. j. A. Nc
Lean, son of our townsman Mr.. ]. A
Mclean, ST., has received his COM
mission as lieutenant, and is now at
camp Lee, Va, as chaplain of 315
field artillery. Lieut.. Mclean was
reared in Maxton, graduated at the
State university, studied law and rose
rapidly in his profession when he rec
ognized the call to the ministry, and
took the course at Union Theological
seminary, Richmond, Va, and has
been preaching in Western North
Carolina the past year. He now goes
to minister in spiritual things among
those who are to rescue the world
from autocracy.

real contractors are in this territory.
DIR. T. S. Evans, the contractor
with the War Department for the
growing of castor beans, when seen
at his Office in Hamlet, said: There
is no question in ny mind but that
castor beans will be a profitable crop
to the growers OF South Carolina and
Georgia, and l believe that 20 to 80
bushels per acre can be produced or
the average land, and even cresrtef
yields on the better land" There Is
no question about the market, be-
cause contract is given to the farmer
to pay him So per bushel at his rail
road station, but l am convinced that
they do not appreciate the fact that
the Government would not call upon
TIE farmers to grow these beans, il
it were impossible, and some have
listened to pro-German propaganda,
which seems to be organized for the
purpose of discouraging the planting
of this crop.
This pro-German propagan Ia has
created doubt in the minds Of some
as to the profits to be made; it mas
circulated false reports about the u ar
Departments method of contracting
it has created a doubt as to how the
crop can be harvested; ana the fact
that the Aero Supply Committee
which has a private institution with
out any Government rights, has reer
stopped from the use of the mails
and which fact was not to be publish
ed, has teen bounced upon as an ex-
cuse to throw a doubt upon the right
Of the contractors with the Govern
ment to let contracts.
A pamphlet, entitled, "The Abe OF
Growing Castor Beans, has been PUB
lished by Mr.. Evans, which gives full
information and answers every oues-
ton on the subject Of growing caste,
beans, and it is for free distribution
to those interested.

We Ought To Double Our School

Taxes.
Clarence Poe in The Progressive
Farmer.
The first thing and the biggest
of The Progressive Farmer is this
that our folks in North Carolina
South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia
ought to absolutely double their school
taxes during the coming year.
1t may be popular to say this, or
it may be unpopular. All we know
is that it is the truth, and that the
man who doesn't agree with this state
ment will agree with it before dozen
years pass.
1t is no use to say we can't afford
it. With cotton at rs to 80 cents a
pound and tobacco and peanuts sell
ing at corresponding figures, it is
folly to say that we can't do more
for our schools than we did when cot
ton was 6 and 10 cents and other crop
prices in keeping with these. And
we ought to be ashamed of ourselves
IT we don't do more. The time has
come when any man ought to be
ashamed when he leaves home if he
can't say he lives in local tax school
dlstrict-and one in which the tax is
adequate. Too many districts are
levying three mills when they ought
to levy nine.
To pay school tax is to swap dol
lars for life, and God shrivels the soul
and blights the future Of ansy=,commu-
nifty where the people think more of
saving little money than they do of
providing "life and life more abund-
antly' for the men and women of to-
morrow. We of the South have al
ways accused our Northern friends
Of loving money, but we have got to
face the fact that when it comes to
choosing between saving money and
buying knowledge for his children the
Yankee everlasting puts us to shame.
Look at these facts. The North At
lantic. States spend $5O.55 per year
on schools per child; the South At
lantic States $18.91-not 40 per cent
as much. The North Central States
spend S44. Is per child! the South Cen
tral States S19.O1-not half as much.
North Dakota, rural State, is spend
ing $64 a year per child; wild Idaho
$55, and even Mormon Utah $52, while
Virginia spends $40, North Carolina
only $12, South Carolina only 81, and
Georgia $13: Nor can we say we are
doing as well in proportion to wealth,
for while North Dakota spends on
schools "A cents year for each 500
OF her wealth, Idaho 40, and Utah
81, Virginia and North Carolina
spend only % cents year per 500
Of wealth., South Carolina ~ cents.
and Georgia 20.
The Carolinas, Virginia and Geor-
gia therefore might double the amount
they are spending for schools and
even then not spend as much as some
States are spending. Let us now
highly resolve that we will sanctify
the greater prosperity God has given
US by giving twice as much from it
for unfolding the powers of the chill
dren He has given US and for further
ing the eternal purposes of Him who
said, II am come that We might have
life and life more abundantly."
given us and for furthering the eter-
nal purpose of Him who said. ~ am
