NEWLAND.

(Too late for Friday’s issue) There was school here last Saturday and will be again this Saturday. The small-pox are getting to be a thing of the past, however, is seems that Germany is getting in her blows here, also. She has made her appearance in the form of German measles. Miss Nettie Jordan, of this place, left last week for France. She is a Red Cross nurse, Last year’s onian crop is going to ruin in the storage, it is feared, as no care can be obtained for shipping them. Trustee Grant Davisson was in town Saturday to look after soine business affairs here. Mrs. Spate, who broke her wrist is improving, but slowly. We can realize the war is on when we go to the store's after a 50 lb., sack of flour. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for your children to buy Thrift Stamps with about two-thirds of those pennies they are spending for candy? It would not only teach him to save, but help save sugar as well. Do you know that the candy bill in the U. S. would pay for all the food Belgium needs to import or twice the sugar that France needs the coming year?
