Probably Largest Farm Sale on

Wilmington Star.
Robeson county, known as the State
OF Robeson, on account of it's size. and
for the reason that it is North Caro-
lina's largest county, has come for
ward with a farm sale that probably
is the largest on record in the State.
Anyhow, it is land transaction in keep

transaction required $1OO worth of

"The Federal reserve, farm loan,
agricultural extension, tariff commits
sion and other laws enacted by a
Democratic Congress put the country
on a stable basis before the war be-
gan. And Democratic support of war
measures has vitalized the whole war
program.
"Just as the Federal reserve law,
the tariff commission act and others
were enacted over Republican oppo-
sition, the shipping board bill, three
war revenue measures and, indeed, the
war resolution itself, were put
through over stubborn opposition by
the minority.
"The shipping board, whose value
is now appreciated by the whole coun-
try and by all the allies Of America,
was held up for two years-lacking
only 21 days-by Republican opposi-
ton. This is a chapter in the history
of war preparation and foresight the
Republicans now would like the coun-

Quite a Compliment to DR.. Dur
ham.

Biblical Recorder.
Rev. c. H. Durham has been called
to Lumberton and has accepted the
call: This is quite a compliment to
6rotner Durham. He was pastor of
years before going to Brown Memorial
at Winston Salem. The Lumberton
church did all in it's power to hold
him when the call from Brown Me-
mortal came, and at the very first op-
portunity he has been called back. We
confess the old Robeson did not look
exactly right without Brother Durham
who, many thought, had become a
Ilxture IN the association. While we
sympathize with the saints at Wins
ton, we congratulate Lumberton upon
the return of the dearly beloved shep-
herd whom they lent to Brown Me-
mortal for Ia little while.

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

During the week of November H.
18 there will be campaign through
out the country to raise $170,500,OO0
for the seven official war relief
agencies, which need funds to- carry
on their necessary work among the
men in service. The amount to be
raised amounts to about $40 for every
home in the country. Director Gener-
al Mott of the United War Work cam
paign points out that this amount is
forty times as much as Jefferson paid
for the Louisiana territory.
This time the call is to give money
for necessary war work, not to in
vest it, as in Liberty bonds and War
Savings stamps. The work these
agencies are doing is necessary for
tks wslfafe ST ths boys who az. ~ -. w. =

these boys is the sole purpose Of those

ton. the Young Women's Christian
Association, the Knights of Columbus
and the rest. They provide anuse-

where the boys can write letters, play

ways they are helpful. The needs Of

Today We Celebrate
The Extension of New France.
Ry De In Sallp

Among the hardy and ambitious
Freuchmen who played so large a part
in the early exploration of the west
ern wilderness, few possessed greater
ambition, resourcefulness and daring
than Robert Cavelier de La Sale.
1t was 236 years ago today, April
10, 1852, that La Sale performed the
crowning act of his career when, on
the shores near where the waters Of
the Mississippi mingle with the Gulf
he gave the name of Louisiana to the
entire valley of the great river and
erected a column and cross with this
inscription: Louis, the great King Of
France and the Navarro, regins this
tenth OF April, 1882" Thus the bor-
ders of New France were extended
from the st. Lawrence to the Gulf Of
Mexico.
La Sale was about thirty-two years
of age when, in 1867, he left his native
France and embarked for Canada,
seeking fortune, fame and adventure.
His cherished project was to find O
way to China by way of Canada. He
established fur trading station which
he named La Chine, and from there
explored Lake Ontario. established
posts on the upper waters of the st.
Lawrence, and was entrusted by Gov
ernor Frontenac with the care of the
fort where the city of Kingston now
stands. On his return to France In
1875 he was made a noble, and given
a large domain around Fort Frontenac
and the trading monopoly with Five
Nations. He thus became the pro-
prietor of O. rich region, but Jolliets
arrival at Quebec with news of the
Mississippi discoveries led him to aban-
don wealth and comfort for adven-
ture, and he started out on that series
of journeys that ended in his assassi-
nation by one of his own countrymen
