Cheaper Postage Soon.
The old fashioned red-faced
two cent postage stamp of prewar
day8 will on Juty 1 come
again to the iront, ana Dy so
doing will cut down the anuual
postal Receipts to the tune of
some $75,000,000 or $90,000,000
per year. Not only will letter
postage be reduced, but postal
cards will travel with only one
cent attached to them. To stick
a two .cent stamp on a postal
card has caused many a close
fisted individual to suffer inward
pangs, and it may be that some
people swore off from postal
cards on account of the postal
rate. Now they will have an
opportunity to catch up with
their back correspondence.
It is likely that most business
houses will have disposed of all
of their three cent stamps by
July 1, but in case they still have
a quantity on hand, the post
office will probably arrange to
i have them exchanged for stamps
of other denominations. Envelopes
stamped with three cent
postage will also be exchanged
in all probability for envelopes
bearing stamps of other denominations.
Ten days remain
before the new postal rates will
go into effect, and most three
cent stamps will have beon used
before that time by houses which
have laid in a supply.
The increased postage rate
went into effect October 2, 1917,
and was ordered reduced back
to its normal status on the first
day of the coming month when
the recent revenue bill was approved
by congress.

. B r Time to Build.
To build a home now is make
an important and direct contribution
to national readjustment
and reconstruction.
First, the country needs thousands
of homes.
After that the home-buildei
creates a demand for stone, lumber,
brick, hardware, concrete,
paint, etc.; money circulates?
only blood that circulates make;
for health. /
Building absorbs labor, whicl
is of prime importance, wher
thousands of soldiers are beinj
released from the army, and industry
is in tration from the wai
to peace gear.
1 A general country-wide cam
paigh of building would do more
than any other one thing to in

Growing Sweet Clover.
Washington, D. C., June 1,4.
Editor Times:
I notice in the General Farn
Notes of your paper of June 5il
two statements regarding swee
clover:
1st. "That it must be regard
ed largely as a substitute fo
red clover."
2nd. "That it must be cut fo
hay early' in June before an:
buds appear."
1 have seen several fields o
sweet clover in Fairfax county
Va.f near here. They cut it soim
three times in one season, eacl
time leaving a high stubble b
sprout the next growth. I
yields about two-thirds as mucl
hay per acre as alfalfa and i
much hardier. A good stan<
can be obtained on a pre para tioi
that would not sprout alfalfa. 1
can be sowy on gr$in in the win
ter or early spring as Alsik
Clover is sown. Sweet clover ii
common with all clovers, need
lime. I saw an orchard in swee
clover that had been grazed b;
hogs for four years.
When one considers its hardi
ness, it's yield of hay per acre
it's early spring pasturing an<
that it is closely related to th<
alfalfa family, thus one of th
best means of inoculating th<
land for alfalfa, I don't thinl
anyone will regret giving awee
clover a good, fair triaL JL

There is a strong petition out
in Catawba township for the
I appointment of J. H. Boyd, of
Lesslie, as Catawba township
supervisor, to succeed the late
i Burton Massey. Mr. Boyd was
I an overseer under Mr. Massey
for two years previous to the
war. He served a year in
France, a good part of the time
makintr German nrisnnera rennir
the French roads that had been
torn up by German shells, and
since his return he has been en- ,
gaffed on his old job. (
The people of Hickory Grove
and vicinity are very much '
interested in a proposition re- 1
cently made to them by Mr.
W. B. Moore, of Yorkville, with 1
reference to the buildinff of a i
cotton mill at Hickory Grove. \
Mr. Moore stated to Hickory
1 Grove people that he could se- <
1 cure the sum of $125,000 for <
investment in a $250,000 cotton )
mill, and if they would raise a
similar sum of $125,000, he
would seriously consider the
1 building of a mill at that place.
There is to be another bank
at Clover. It is to be known as
, the First National Bank and
Trust company. It is to have
two charters, one State and the
other Federal. The bank is to
t be capitalized at $25,000 and the
Trust company at $10,000. Mr.
G. F. Hambright of King's
Mountain, and his brother,
Beatty Hambright, are the prime
movers.
