Ii Is a well-known fact, Jones de-
elares, that the colored people OF the
state have done their part in evc-y
drive we have had. They still stand
ready to do their part when they
know what il is.
'They do not take the county pa
pers nor the daily papers, hence ninety
per cent Of them know absolutely
nothing about the drive for Relief in
the Near East, during the week OF
February $40. Ninety per cent of
these are willing TO give.
Therefore, let every white man who
reads this notice talk especially To the
deacons Of the colored churches. also
to the preachers in his community, IN
form them that the people are dying
from starvation and neglect in the
Holy Land-this alone viii interest all
Christian people-and let them take
up collections on Sunday, February 3,
and again on February 10.
Those who do not meet on either

Samaritan movement by turning in
contributions direct TO the editor Of
the county paper, the county superin-
tendent Of education. some white
minister, or the county chairman for
the drive who viii forward il to the

Capital and Labor
Here is a hard nut to crack !:

Here is a hard nut to crack:
In ten years our country's town
population gained a little more
than one-third. In the same dec
ade the country population--the
part that produces food-gained
one ninth.
Thus the mouths to feed in
in cities multiplied three times as
fast as did farm hands which fed
them
And another nut is this: Each
year, barring the war period, saw
more of our food eaten at home
and less shipped abroad. Export
figures prove that beyond argu
ment.
But Europe must need food.
Since Waterloo, 104 years ago, Eu-
ropes population has good deal
more than doubled.
In the same time our own has
multiplied by eight or nine.
From census to census people
increase by more than fifth, but
during the last ten year period
the increase in farm hands was
only a seventh.
What's the answer? Why un-
less our descendants are to see
the Malthus theory come true,
they will have to buckle down and
actually make two blades of grass,
two stalks of corn and two heads
of wheat grow where one grows to-
day.
And that is where the commodi
ty so much despised by our par
lor Bolshevist comes in. | refer
of course to capital.
Uncle Sans census figures show
that twenty years ago for every
person employed in manufacture
there was also employed Sl,770.
But FIVE years ago for every per-
son in manufacturing plants there
was $3.50. Today the figure is
nearly $500.
Each year demands a greater
number of dollars yoked up to the
laborer SO that he can produce
more.

There is often coinmon-sense rea-

seems merely a superstition. Take, for

mice is lucky mine. We know now
that mice are peculiarly susceptible to
foul gases. and the presence of un-
usually large numbers of these little
animals therefore. 3 proof positive Of
the absence of any danger. Hence the

Paying the Price

The way to get the good things
of life is to pay for them.
The price for perfection is
practice.
The price for expertness in
business is often drudgery.
The price for popularity is often
painstaking handling of people.
The price for a delightful home
is often attention to details whose
delights at first seem yelled.
The price of personal charm is
often utter oblivion to self.
The price for all things is sacri-
fee.
Suppose you could be anything
you choose. You choose to be a
butterfly: You cannot be mount
ain. You choose to be a mount
ain; then you cannot be a valley.
Suppose you want to be famous
you must sacrifice your time and
talents.

Use of a Car for Hosting.
small enough to prevent the wheel,
when turning under normal speed,
from being unduly strained by heavy
loads.
Dimensions of Drum.
A solid piece of oak, about eight
inches in diameter should be turned
out in the shape of a cylinder five
inches long. For large cars this may
be increased in size. Surmount the
drum with a disk, somewhat larger, to
act as a rim, and bore hole in the
opposite end of the drum just large
enough to fit snugly over the hub of
the wheel Then make three arms of
strap iron, large enough to reach
good way up the spokes of the wheel.
Bolt these at equal distances around
the circumference of the drum, setting
them in flush.
How Hoisting Is Done.
To operate, back the car up until it
Is near the tackle, and jack up the
wheel upon which the drum has been
placed. The other wheel must be
blocked so that it will not turn. Give
the hauling rope a few turns about
the drum, then apply the power to the
wheel and at the same time pull easily
upon the rope, keeping it taut on the
drum. In this way heavy loads can be
raised that would otherwise be beyond
the ability of one man to handle.-L B.

GIVING THE POTATO CROP A
QUICK START

One of the most discOuraging things
for the potato grower is the long de-
lay which comes right after the pota-
toes are planted.
Some weeds are ready to start right
'off the bat" In their root stalks they
have saved up plant food for just this
emergency. The potato, however, it
not a good forager, and too often a de-
lay in getting a quick start means a
partial or total crop failure. The most
important plant food in the early
spring is ammOnia-the stem and leaf
producer. At the time of year when
potatoes are planted, the soil is still
cold. 1t has just been leached by the
winters rains and is low in available
plant food. Even when manure is APP
piled to a cover sod and turned under,
use of ammonia in fertilizer-from 2
to 8 per CENTS a most profitable
practice.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-02-07
TAKE CARE OF THE SEED
POTATOES

Don't let seed potatoes sprout in
storage. Every inch of sprOut means
so much strength zone and diminishes
by just this much the ability of the
seed pieces to produce quick, sturdy
growth in the early spring.
For the very early potatoes,
wherever small areas are to be plant
ed, spread the seed potatoes cut in the
warm sunlight or in a light unheated
room in a dwelling house, some three
weeks before planting time. This
makes the sprouts grow thick, tough
and sturdy, makes the crop earlier and
increases yields.
When the potato tops are from six
to eight inches high put on a second
dose of fertilizer, applied alongside the
row. The roots are then getting well
started and available plant food put
where they can get it keeps them
growing.

the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
