The Supreme Sacrifice.
When the history of the Unit
ed States in this war comes to
be written we think that the his
torian will be obliged to record a
spirit of self-sacrifice more all
pervading among the people than
in almost any other war that has
engaged the Nation. We see it
in every form of activity among
women and men for the Red
Cross, and we have seen it in ev
.ery form for the first Liberty
Loan, and we se& it in the free
and spontaneous responses com
ing from every class to the "many
calls of the Government in or
. ganizing the material and spirit
ual forces of the country for war.
Where there are so xnany cas
es of sacrifice of time and money
and convenience, and even of
cherished individual opinions and
prejudices, without thought' of
reward or of any material con
sideration, it would be invidious
to single out any one for public
mention. Yet -the discriminating
future historian must pause at
one name in this almost endless
roll of honor, and we should
patise-with hirii. we refer to
the senior Senator from Pennsyl
vania, who on the floor v of the
Senate has voluntarily offered to
postpone all thought of return to
a high protective tariff until af
ter the war.
The immortal framers of the
Declaration of Independence
pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor for
the cause. Boies Penrose makes
all of that sacrifice and throws
into boqtthe Dingley tariff sched
ules. New York World.
The Need of Economy and Saving.
The United States is now at
war. A large part of our coun
try's human e'nergy is taken
away from the farms, factories
and industries of peace, and un
til the war ends all tlieir ener
gies will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our pro
ductive energy is being turned
into the'ereation of implements
of destruction. Many of our
products are now being devoted
to purposes of war. Destruction
instead of construction is-the ob
ject of a great portion of the
country's energy.
As much of the human energy
and productive capacity of the
Nation are now being devoted to
the purposes Of war, so should
the proper amount of the money
of the United States be so devot
ed. He who offers his life for
his country is offering the great
est possible sacrifice, but the
American men and women who
support the Government with
their money are doing their part.
This war is going to be
financed largely out of . the sav
ings of the American people dur
ing the war. It is not too great
a sacrifice to make for one's
country in time of war to deny
one's self luxuries, to cut down
unnecessary expenses, to lead
quieter and busier lives. Not
only will the money thus saved
and used to buy Liberty Loan
Bonds help he United States but
the diminished consumption of
food and other articles will do
much to relieve the country from
the strain of war.
The less the people use the
less strain there is upon the productive-
capacity of the Nation
and the more can be devoted to
winning the war; the more the
people save the more liberal fi
nancial support can they give the
Government. This is the peo
ple's war, and it is to be financed
by the American people, not by
the rich and not by the poor, but
by the rich and the poor, the
capitalist and the wage earner,
the miner and the farmer and
the manufacturer.

Editor News!
This leaves me just but of
teacher's Institute of two week's
durationand it was a pleasant
and profitable session.
At present Eugene, my baby
boy, my wife and I are all the
ones at home. Lucien is book
keeping in West Lake, CJa. xBob
has a similar place at Cochran,
of same state, Willie and Ralph
are at Charlotte, N. C, while
Adolphus, aged 19, is in volun

Greenville, S. C, Willie, Lucien
and Bob are all registered in se
lective draft, ready to rallv to
colors when called. lam willing
to defend Old Glory at sixty if
necessary; but have not changed
my opinion. These men who
never expect to see blood nor
smell powder give me a pain in
the face to fulminate about their
patriotism. We have sundry un
speakable demagogues who are
moving heaven and earth to get
boys of other men enlisted, who
strut, swagger and blaspheme
about a war for Democracy; but
they nor their precious posterity
are not going near the trenches
of France.
Harking back to Teacher's In
stitute, we had three fine in
structors, respectively Prof. J.
Henry Highsmith, instructor of
pedagogics at Wake Forest, N.
C, Miss Susan Fulghum, of
Goldsboro, N. C, and Prof. J. C.
Griffin, Supt. Shelby Graded
Schools. This is an abb spike
team, and one hundred and
eighty-nine sat at their feet as a
student body, your humble serv
ant being numbered among the
prophets. Among other com
mendable features, mathematics
was not worked overtime. This
is an important science, but the
ordinary patron regards it as the
sine qua non of erudition.
Reading and language are lamen
tably neglected so that "figger
in" may be driven into heads
that will never have much need
for numbers. Most men are
born long on number, and hence
regard reading, language history
and geography as useless and or
namental branches. Hundreds
of people are abusing Germany
and Augtria Hungary that have
no idea as to location, size and
importance; and all England'
knows about us is that we have
men and money and they need
both. If the North and South
had properly understood each
other the cruel Civil war could
have been averted, and I read
and hear a good deal these piping
times of war that betrays palpa
ble ignorance. No people ex
cept the unspeakable Turk is so
brutal as painted, nor any actors
in war so angelic as portrayed.
We certainly hope and pray for
subjugation of. Germany, and to
h with the food pirate.
I was really glad to learn that
Miss Sallie Stewart is still at Co
lumbia. Three of my teachers
still living so far as I know, are
held in precious memory. These
are Mrs. Monterey Hurt-Dohon-ey,
Elida, New Mexico; Miss
Sallie Stewart, Columbia, Ky.,
and Prof. H. C. Dunn, Rosebud,
Texas. Possibly Mrs. Anna
Hindman-Kean is among the liv
ing, if so I tender kindest wishes
from the Old North State. ,

A Complete Stock of United
Lath Tomato Support.
When I began raising Vegeta
bles for .sale direct to the con
sumer my first care was natural
ly, to produce stock of the best
quality possible. But wheirwith
this in mind I came to consider
tomatoes I was not hopeful of
success. For in the course of -a
good many years of amateur ex
perience here in New York, I
had never produced a crop with
out having at least half of the
fruits cracked.
However, actfrig on the theory
that cracks were produced by al-"
ternate periods'of swift and slow
growth due to varying mois
ture conditions I tried mulch
ing the early plants, as I could
get all the horse manure I want
ed for the hauling. This gave a

large increase in the percentage
of uncracked fruits, but it devel
oped many unexpected difficul
ties. Mice and worms, especially a
dark worm with a score or so of
legs on each side became so
numerous, and attacked the fruit
so persistently, that I lost a
large part of that crop, because
I had allowed the vines to sprawl
over the ground.
I saw that staking was espec
ially needed with mulching, and
found I should need 350 stakes,
which would be expensive if
sawed stuff were used. Having
a lot of building lath on hand I
shoved five of them inter the
ground around each hill in-such a
way that they slanted out and
away from the plants, as if they
were the ribs of a wide-spread
vase. I then completed the vaie

by stringing common white
twine from lath to lath around
and around each hill six times.
Of course I took a turn with the
twine around each lath es I came J
to it.
The lath and string vase or
call it a bowl held up the vines
well, but the vines- filled the
bowls so full that harvesting was
inconvenient. By the following
year, after the second fruits
were set, I gave the vines one
trimming. That fixed the vine
in a satisfactory way. I like
the lath because they give a
larger crop than a single stake,
the labor is less than where sin
gle stakes are used, and harvest
ing is done as easily. J. R,
