At the present time. with two small precincts to hear from. the vote shows Rock with 2434 and Roberts with 246S The two precincts that are not included in the figures as given in the tabuiated statement on another page are Central Bridge and Fucker. Roberts should carry Fucker by small majority. while Rock should carry Central Bridge. The soldiers vote. which is small may make a change in this result, and take the official count to decide.

Public Library
Mrs. Lucy P. Russell
Librarian.

In these parlous times when
we give everything we can think
of to the soldiers, so gladly and
cheerfully, it is pleasant to re-
cord the name of one soldier
who thought it more blessed to
give than to receive" A few
days before Mr.. N. D. Hicks left
his boyhood behind him to be-
come a man in the service of his
country he came into the library
with his arms full of books, 81 in
all, and placed them on the
shelves for the benefit of the
boys who count the hours until
they can get a new book. Was
not that a timely and thoughtful
gift?
Our neighboring town Of Car
thage has a library Of two thou
sand volumes; it is under the
management of the Woman's
Club and the books are largely
the gifts of the women of Car
thage.
Aberdeen has a library built
and endowed by Mr.. Frank Page,
father of Walter, Chris" Henry,
Frank and Robert; we all know
the Page boys and we all know
the reputation of the family for
keen business acumen and clear
eyed common sense, and this
successful, practical business
man could think of no better
gift to his home town than a
library.
Our readers now number over
300, which means that nearly 10I
per cent of our population is
using the books, less than one
thousand, which we offer to them.
We have readers at Pee Dee,
Entwistle, Roberdel and 2,
Ellerbe and several on the R. F.
D. routes. Within a few days
we will have for the children the
beautiful "Oz" books by Frank
Baum and for the grown ups we
will have twenty of the most
recent "best sellers" By the
way, have you enjoyed the keen
wit of Cora Harris in her last
book, Making Her His Wife,"
She knows women so well-that
is as we'll as anybody ever knows
the unknowable.
Ernest Poole has given to the
world several vigorous, interest
ing novels, and among them His
Family justly holds a high place.
The leading man. is a middle
aged widower, prosperous, COM
Portable, with three grown daugh-
tiers, and the interest lies in fol-
lowing the paths chosen by these
three young women, each one
beautiful, modern and head
strong.
Everybody would like to un-
derstand the various stars, bars
leaves, guns, and various designs
wherewith our soldiers are dec
GRATED and by which their stand
ing in army and navy may be
known. The library offers "The
Insignia of the Army and Navy"
with many full illustrations in
colors of all uniforms, flags,
stripes, caps, stars, etc, used in
our armies, and explanations of
the same.
Who knows why sailors

Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.

There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that
the disease cannot be cured by

BRITISH AIRMEN DO
NOT WANT GLORY

LONDON.-British air force aU-
thorities do not allow publication Of
stories Of exploits of the most sue
cessful British aviators using the
names as in France and Germany
because IL is considered unfaS TO
men who are doing fine work but
who have not had opportunities for
winning many air victories. Also
they say the loss of a famous avi-
ator creates a bad impression If the
people at home have been led to be-
lieve that he is almost superman.
This view also is taken by many
British flying officers. One of them
recently wrote: Il go into the air
perfectly equipped to bring down
Hun machines. A pilot on artillery
observation or photography work
goes up to do a highly necessary
job. and perhaps has TO spend sew
eral hours over it and I'm any case
has other work to do and cannot go
strafing however much he might
like it. Why should I be advertised
and glorified any more than he is?
We are both trying to do our job
and nobody can do more"

The L. S. food administration has
asked for $4,000. 900 acres OF winter
wheat for 1919. Each state has
been given It's quota. and all coun-

The bureau OF plant industry is

The process Is so simple that any
man who sOws wheat without for

One pound full strength formalde-

all who may he interested. and we
are ready TO answer any questions
which may be addressed 70 our Chi
cago Office"
The potato plans I'm brief are,
that each community shall ascertain
how many potatoes il can consume
normally, and through a joint meet
ing OF the commercial club and the
farm bureaus, provide that the pro-
per acreage shall be planted and
that the local community shall agree
to use local potatoes first.
In order 10 make this plan work
able, II. will be necessary to build
ventilated storage cellars, accord
ing to plans which have been thor
oughly worked out at Lake Forest.
H., in which potatoes may be kept
in good condition up TO the time
when new potatoes come on the
market
In localities where there may be
a larger production Of potatoes than
can be consumed. the plan suggests
that potato flour and starch mills
be erected-at first on a small scale,
gradually growing as the business
becomes profitable.
The process is not intricate. The
potatoes are first washed and stones
removed and then passed through
a steam cooker into a taking ma
chine which consists OF two large
steam heated rolls which toast the
potatoes into a thin layer very
much like corn fakes
These faxed potatoes are then
ground In a suitable mill Of which
there are several types, and the -four
thus obtained from the whole pota-
toes containing all the vitamines,
may he sacked or barrelled and kept
indefinitely.
The starch process consist OF
washing and settling, and great
deal Of the potato value Is thus lost.
There are two successful potat 10
mills now in operation. one in Ida
county, Maine.
To our shame IL must be said
that all> the potato -four we have
heretofore used has been imported
from Germany. where potatoes con
stltute nearly half OF the diet.
Are we hungry Not yet. But
il is high time that we Americans
should provide 70 feed, not only our

look for work somewhere else. All
these considerations make for a

a big waste in lack OF interest in the

II struck this young farmer that
Il would be good business for him
self and the country II he could
minimize this loss.
Talking Machine Started II.
One hot evening, not many moths
ago. while the men we're lounging
under the trees. the owner of the
farm got his talking machine out

and presently the farmer found
himself talking 20 his men about the
war. He began To tell them OF the
western front and the difference be
tween the Hindenhurg and the FoCh

read newspapers, so he conceived
the Idea or a bulletin board news
