Rationing Is Important

Ration boards have now been operating
in practically every community in the
United States for three years. In that
time they have issued more than billion
rations including 534,OOO,OOO food ration
books and 229,OOO,OO0 gasoline rations.
These ration boards, says Chester
Bowles, head of the OPA, have made it
possible for civilians, through three years
of war, to get their fair share of available
goods at fair price.
In a democratic, quickly organized,
largely voluntary set-up, such as ration
boards are there are bound to be some
mistakes made and some charges of favor
itism or unfairness But as we look over
the present status of our civilian life and
compare prices and the availability of
goods with the last war, it is apparent that
the ration boards of the nation have made
an invaluable contribution to our welfare.
We want to take this occasion on the
third anniversary to express thanks to ra-
tioning boards clerks, volunteer workers
and all others, who have helped to carry
out the rationing program successfully.

A Methodist Coal

The Methodists of Ashe, along with 9TH
ers throughout the state and nation are
being called upon by church leaders to do
their part in the raising of $4,000, 100000
for world relief and reconstruction, the
first phase of this denominations world
wide Crusade for Christ program for the
postwar world.
This county has quota of $1,5OO.OO,
which is not large considering the number
of Methodists in the county, as well as the
importance of the appeal. There is vital
need for raising the funds, for they will
serve an important purpose. From the
funds raised, the hungry will be fed; the
destitute, clothed; the minds and spirits
of the Ignorant the underpriviledged, are
to be freed. A total of three-fifths of the
funds raised is earmarked for the ire
building and rehabilitation of human life"
in foreign countries, most OF which will be
spent in the war-devastated areas and
some in other mission fields. The remain
der will be used for warcreated needs in
this country. ~,.r .~..,.... -.-
iva
er phases of the Crusade for Christ pro-
gram call for continued education in the
expression of opinion for "continued CO.
operation" among nations in the postwar
world; renewed evangelistic efforts with
special emphasis in 1916; education for
christian stewardship and ability, time and
money; improvement of Sunday School en-
rollment and attendance.
This Crusade for Christ is described by
church leaders as "Methodism's organized
response for assuming its part in the world
to come, for launching worldwide effort
to make this better place in which to
live" Every member of the church should
welcome this opportunity to take part in
such crusade for christianity, which will
be the means of giving practical and spirit
ual food to the hungry throughout the
world, without distinction of race, color or
creed.

Pulpwood Producers
Challenged

The War Production Boards action in
setting 1915 goal of 100000 cords of
pulpwood- 100000 more than last year
offers challenge to all pulpwood produc
ers and cutters and to every pulpwood-
producing community.
The 16,OO0O OO-cord goal of course, is
based on actual needs of our fighting men
and of essential industries on the Home
Front. Unless it is reached, our military
operations overseas may be slowed down
and the war may be prolonged.
However, the very fact that the War
Production Board established such high
goal in the face of growing manpower and
equipment shortages emphasizes the con-
fidence this war agency has in our ability
to attain it.
For this country to produce an extra
100000 cords of pulpwood in 1915 every
farmer, every farm worker, every dealer,
every county agent and forester-in fact,
everybody who has anything to do with
pulpwood productions going to have to
work harder than he did in 1914.
But no one will complain if this extra
work shortens the war by month, week
or even day. For that saving in time will
also save American lives, perhaps the life
of a boy from this community.
Cut more pulpwood in 1915 and so help
cut the casualty list of American boys.

County Agents On The Job

A report just released from the extern
sion service, shows that in every county in
North Carolina, county farm and home
agents did an outstanding piece of work in
the increase of food production and thus
dealt definite blow against our enemies
as surely as their brothers and sisters on
the fighting front We are happy over the
work accomplished in this county and are
justly proud Of our farmers as well as our
agents.
The compiled reports from the entire
state reveal that county agents gave 1856
per cent of their full time to assisting farm
families to expand food production through
promotion of better farming practices in
the production Of Vegetables and fruits,
livestock and livestock products, livestock
feed, in more efficient management of
farms, and in the teaching of better mar
keting practices

were given to assistance with production
of dairy, beef, swine and poultry products;
and 5,744.1 agent-days were devoted to
help in The production of feed crops for
these livestock.

practices were recommended to livestock
