failure to plant at least 90 per
cent Of an acreage allotment and
90 percent of special war crop

Miss Ruth Current of the N. C.
State Extension office has posed
eight questions for rural home
makers which we think should be
passed on to farm women every
where, so here they are:
! Am | growing food, fiber and
feed for home and war use
2 Am | taking the best care of
my machinery, my equipment,
clothes and other useful things?
8 Am ! buying less and buying
wisely
4 Am ! buying my share of War
Saving Stamps and Bonds every
time we sell farm products
5 Am | doing my part of the
work at home and on the farm?
6 Has my family been kept in
7 Am sharing with my neigh
bor---food, work, play, courage?
8 Will my son, brother, father
husband or sweetheart find bet
ter home, community, state and
Nation when he comes back from
the war?

Simon of Cyrene to help him to
carry his dying cross.
He died for all men. Calvary is
the highest mountain in the world,
the golden page of history. The
dying Christ flooded the ages with
Holy light and ordered the church
to teach all nations. He reaffirm
ed the brotherhood OF man and the
fatherhood of God and laid down
the Golden Rule.
Jesus Christ is truly the Prince
of Peace. If the bleeding world
would look on him, accept His
teaching and follow his precepts
they could beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks and study war no
more.
Let us nope ana pray tnnt

arms of rebellion against God,
recognize the fact that if one blood

Mr.. Bonds Buys Bonds

If Farmer John r. Bonds of
Haywood County, Tenn, hadn't
done anything else besides pur-
chase a 81 500 share in America,
he would have done sizeable job.
But that's only the beginning. Mr.,
Bonds knows that buying bonds a.
lone will not win the war. There
must be increased agricultural
and war industry production so
that Uncle Sam can use the bond
money to buy the things our fight
ing men and our allies need.
So, Farmer Bonds has upped his
production by one third. On his
200acre farm there are now six
milk cows and 81 beef cattle, a
registered bull, 40 head of hogs.
and 100 chickens. But growing
food is nothing new to Mr.. Bonds.
For the last two years he has re
ceived the Home Food Supply Ger.
tificate for producing rs percent
of all food consumed by his family
Because of Mr.. Bonds success as
a farmer he has been selected as
a County Victory Committeeman.
Loan For Production
The Department Of Agriculture
reported last week that farmers
and stockmen borrowed $344,O0O,-
600 from $50 production credit as
sociations during the first nine
months Of 1912, as compared with
sa90,00o,00o last year. The in
crease was due to larger amounts
needed by individual farmers to
finance amounts of money this
year many individual farmers and
ranchers who formerly used pro-
duction credit associations have
improved their financial condition
to such an extent that they no
longer find it necessary to borrow
for operating purposes. AS a re-
suit of a recent sample survey,
the Farm Credit Administration
estimates that approximately H.
600 of the 2l6,O0O farmers who had
loans a year ago are now indie
pendent Of outside financing and
more than 5000 others can finance
their own operations for at lea {
part Of the coming year.

PLENTY TO SATIRIZE

Two city detectives spent most of the day preceding
Christmas recovering watch that lost by West
Ninth Street Negro. They carried over circuous
route thru mud and what not according to Gazette re-
porter. The reporter implies that the detectives were
somewhat chagrned returning the watch to its
ard he failing to prosecute.
The facts surrounding the case, were that the watch
lost, and the finder reported stolen from him which
established the watch recovered from
other party whose explanation to the possession of the
watch likewise verified, but in the recovery
of the article will have to admit according to the est
mony misdemeanor present, and it would take the
best legal brains in the state to prove otherwise and FOL
that reason prosecution made.
Now while this reporter is in satircal mood he car
review the pages of this paper and find hell of lot OF
people to satirize for protecting habual crmnas, even
muerers and they all not West Ninth Street Negroes
Or shyser lawyers whose profession is to keep criminals
in circulation.

But notice what this stuff is
which he is so industriously raking

You wonder why he persists in

But no, he persists in looking

The reason assigned is that he does
not leave his work at home except
when on business, and he has had
no business calling him that way.

ence, you can have no power op-
posed to God, and the physical
senses must give up their false
testimony. Your influance for good
depends upon the weight you throw
into the right scale. The good you
do and embody gives you the only
