NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST I. 1917. The Illinois Barbarians. W ehavelaboredall along un­ der the mistaken belief that the South was a sinner above others in the matter of lynching, and we Dave inveiged against our section and especially South Carolina and Georgia accordingly. We hereby apologize to those states. Illinois has shown the world how to lynch the “ nigger” and the law at one and the same time. The South, for the most part, hangs criminals, but Illinois takes them as they come, good bad and indifferent a like. The colored man in East St. Louis, Illinois, and the colored women and children, died because of their color. A more shocking tragedy has rarely been recorded than the wholesale murder commit- ed by these “ enlightened” citizens who have looked down on their betters and called them barbarians. Germany conld hardly have sur­ passed the atrocious work of these people of East St. Lonis as they set out on their escapade of m ur­ der and death. It is a blot on our civilization. It is a very shameful outrage. W ill our neighbors of the North whose good name in this respect this paper has be- iriended, proceed to hold their tongues! They have branded the South as lawbreakers and the more rabid anioing th e ' pitied our ig uorance and savagery. Illinois is one of the chief critics of Southern cruelty and barbarity. And her sisters may well desist from the throwing of stones, for it appears we are all dwelling in houses of glass. The negroes themselves ■ought to learn a lesson from this pitiful orgie. They.ought to see; the truth of what Booker W ash­ ington always told them, namely, that the best friends the negro has iu this world are the people of the Southern states. W e know the negro here as the people of the North do not know him. We are able to make allowance for his frailties and his faults. The North can not and will not make allow­ ance for him at all. There is real Iy les9 race prejudice here against the negro than in those sections where he is not known. A large number of negroes have left the South this year. Those who are sensible will return, bnt the negro with the most sense will not leave the land of his birth to take his chances among strangers who with their lips profess to sympathize with him but who in their hearts hate him with a bitterness that bears fruit in riots like that of East St. Louis.—Charity and Children. NUMBER 3 Not Guilty. After deliberating twenty-three and one half hours the New York j urj rendered the verdict that 41 operators and 60 corporations, coal dealers, had not violated the Sher­ man Ahti Trnst law. For our own information we would like to hear of the corpor­ ation, individual or speculator that “ much dreaded, but lately little feared” Trust law. Everyone knows that the paper manufacturers, along with the oth­ er robbers, are robbing the pub­ lishers of millions of dollars each year and yet if they were brought *•» trial they would be “ Not Cuilty.” Can you blame a man that is uot Btroug with the patience of Job, to turn Socialist?— States ville, Sentiuel. Gan Go If They Want To. The Eocky Mount Telegram is disturbed because ministers and ministerial BtudentB are exempt from the army draft; thinks it “ a poor commentary on our American preachers that there is no place for them in the arm y.” In short the Telegram seems to think the government has done the preachers an injustice by exempting them solely on the ground that they were preachers. If preachers had not been exempted as a class the criticism would have been good aud strong and justified.- The Telegram’s criticism is not well founded, however.- If a preacher really wants to enter the army all he has to do is to forego his claim to exemption on the ground that he is a preacher. He can drop the ‘‘reverend” and go into the ranks or to the officers’ training camp as a man. Being a preacher doesn’t exclude him if he really means business and isn’t simply content to do his fighting with his mouth. —Exchange. Soldiers Of The Soil. Food, food, food, they say is what it will take to whip Ger­ many, and America has got it coming on, and okl Stokes will furnish her full quota. Unheard of thousands of acres of tasseled corn looking like squares -of hel­ mets legions. W hat is tnore in­ spiring than a perfect field of wav­ ing green corn.—Uanburg Report­ er. Narrow Escape. Au Irishman was telling his friend of a narrow escape in-the war. The Irishman said: “The bullet went in me chist and came out me back.” “ B ut,” said the friend, “ it would go through your heart and kill you.” “ Me heart was in me mouth at the time,” said the Irishman. Destroys Still--Joins The Church. We are reliably informed that Bud Wooten, who lives just across the Yadkin county lineand who is known as a Blockader. has destroyed his stills, professed religion and joined the church and was baptized. His still now adorns the scrap pile and Bud wilfhereafter lead the life of a law abiding citizen.—Statesville Sentinel. We note, incidentally, that our country is being divided into four classes of citizens—fighters, work­ ers, knockers, and grabbers. Which are you? Ask Anyone Who Ras Used It. There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoes Remedy in the house- for usfe in case it is needed, and find that it- is" not only a good'investment but saves them no end of suffering. A6 to its reliability, ask anyone who has used it. This Is American Liberty. “ Freedom of the press; freedom of speech and person under the protection of the habeas corpus; religious liberty, and trial by juries impartially selected—these principles form the bright coustel- lation which has gone before, us, and guided our steps through an age ot revolution and reformation.'’ —From the first inaugural address of Thomas Jefferson. March 4, 1801. Domestic Scientists tell us that twelve peanuts contain as much nourisrment as a beefsteak. Pass the steak! Stomach and Liver Troubles. No end of misery and aotual suffering is caused by disorders of the stomach and liver, and may be avoided by the use of Chamberlain’s Tablets. Give them a trial. They only cost a quarter. Office Hungry. The most disgraceful conduct we have heard of in sometime is the scramble for the {post office in Hickory. We are imformed that even before Mr. Aiken stopped breathing, [that scramble was on, and one man from Hickory was in Newton in tne interest of a man for the place while Mr. Aiken was yet alive,—Catawba County News. Chronic Constipation. It is by no means an easy matter to cure this disease, but it can be done in most ' instances by taking Chamber­ lain’s Tablets and complying with the plain printed directions that accompany each package. Increase Your Wheat Acreage. It. may seem somewhat prema­ ture to begin the urging of the raising of more wheat, but if the farmer is like the man in town, if he is to succeed he must figure far ahead and now is the time to be­ gin figuring on your wheat acreage. We face a possible food famine which it seems almost impossible to get the American people to ful­ ly understand. We have lived in abundance, we have boasted of our vast iood pro-> ducing abilities until most of our people fail to realize the signifi­ cance of the terrific disaster last year to the crops in all sections, bringing about a reduction in the yield compared with 11)15 of grain, potatoes and other foodstuffs of nearly 1,40,000 bushels, or an average of between 13 and 14 bushels per capita for every man, woman and child in the country. If the war continues and therh are only about one chance In a thousand it will not, then you are going to see the highest pricces ev­ er paid for wheat and on top ot this shortage. There will be a shortage on account of the law of supply and demand. W ith three fourths of the world at war,, the demand) is assured and with no optomistic view of a large supply in sight. Ever farmer should lay his plaus and till his soil so as to materially increase his wheat acreage. Start your planning now, so that your crops may be plauted and harvest­ ed with this idea in view.—Ex. A Recent Prophecy. A porter in an Atchison barber shop predicts confidently that the* war will not last longer than two weeks. He sayB his brother has enlisted and he never held a job longer than two weeks in his whole life,—Kansas Oity Star. Domestic Scientistic tell us that twelve peanuts contain as much nourishment as a beefsteak. Pass the steak! WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because Itf3 For One Thing Only, and MocksviIIe People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only. For weak or disordered Kidneys. Here is reliable evidence of (heir worth. Mrs. Eugene Fesperman, 328 W. Hall St., Statesville, N. C., says: “I had sharp paius across my kidneys and rheu­ matic twinges in my limbs and shoulders. One of. the family advised me to try Doan's Kidney Tills and I got a supply. After taking them a short time, I was relieved of the pain in my back and the rheu­ matic twinges disappeared. Whenever I have any sign of kidney trouble now, I use Doan’s Kidney Pills and they do me Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask fora kidnev remedy—get Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills—the same as Mrs. Fespermaa uses. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs.. Buffalo N. Y.

The rest of the Time he goes around telling the Merchants to Stock Up be­ cause Prices are going Higher, Higher, Higher In the .Morning. For Greater Cabinet Responsibility. The interesting suggestion is put forward that the Cabinet members be given seats iu Congress, where they may be questioned from the floor of the two houses at certain specified times. Doubtless the chief impulse behind the proposal at this time is the general lack of confidence in two or three secre­ taries. If these officers are un­ justly suspected of incapacity, they ought to welcome such an opportunity to demonstrate their quality; aud if they are really the false alarms most of us have long !relieved them, they ought to be put up against searching inq'.iry so that their true caliber might be exposed:. The British system has fully de­ monstrated the value of direct questioning of members of the •government on the floor of legis­ lative bodies; aud Cabinet mem­ bers are always protected from auswering inquires that involve matters not yet safe for open dis- cusion. They are protected from everything, in a word, except de­ monstration of their own incom­ petence, and that is a Iorm of favoritism that ought not to be tolerated in a free country, as it involves betrayal of the geueral welfare foi the beloof of unworthy office holders. It a secretary of- war or of the navy is uot . tit to stand before the Senate aud de- Iend hiB offical acts so as to Hilence the voice of mere captions partisan criticism, theu he ought to be put out ol the public service without ceremony. Another excellent practice’$4 successful party government sys­ tems is that of repairing Cabinets to go before the people in limes of crisis for appoval. Ifw ecould have an appeal to the people upon a vote ol lack of confidence, as pre­ vails iu Great Britan and Candaa, it would go far toward making our government respoasive to public opinion, instead of stubbornly de­ fiant, as it nowsoiuetimes seems to be. Such a rule as this would liept Garrison where he was aud still is so greatly needed, .and would have got rid of Baker aud Daniels with little ceremony. .Or at least it would have given the country some tangible evidence upon which to make up its mind as to their merits; and if they were sustained, they would theu have the country bebiud them. Here is indeed, the one spot where the administration seems to be unable or unwilling to avail itself ol the experience of Europe­ an governments in the war. We took conscription promptly, in - sieatl of waiting for two years to beat it into our dull comprehension; we rushed our naval forces to sea, we floated an enormous loan and and now we equiptiug the Red Gross for war; but apparently neither Presideut Wilsou nor auy of his advisors have ever heard or read anythiug about r: constructed war Cabinets or coalitions of- the nation’s greatest ir"ti as a means • of commenting together the follow­ ing of all parties aud massing be hint I the government the confidence otall iu the administration’s lead­ ership. The greatest card the Piesiueut could play, be with­ holds. Are Baker and Daniels more to him than the Uuilicalion of tne iiaiioual spirit? Is uuable to bear the sight id the joy with which the Americau people would welcome the preseuce in the Cabi net of Roosevelt, l’aft, Hughts, Root or Beveridge? Does he not feel himself a big enough man to preside at the table where such men Bat as the advisors of his ad­ visors of bis administration?— Indianapolis Star. Why, Rutledge. Meniloers ol the Greensboro Chambers of Commerce are rais­ ing eain over the high taxes for war purposes and have called a uiass meeting to protest against more taxes. We wonder if these arc the same citizens that cut such a rusty in November when Presi­ dent Wilson was declared re elect­ ed? If so, and we have no doubts, it serves yon right and you get no sympathy from this sanctum.— Tadkin Ripple. A Dastardly Deed. A few nights ago under the cover of darkness some parties en­ tered the house of a man of this community and severely whipped every member of the family ex­ cept small children. They enter ed the bouse by brating the door down with au ax. Some parties have been arrested aud had a hearing before a Justice. The according to his decision will ap - pear in Clinton ere long to defend themselves. This affair has caus ed much excitement in this com­ munity and ought never to have been done, for these people have nothing to warrant such-treatment.

During the hut weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Seotsville, N. Y., states, “I first used Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrlioca Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint aud was suffering intense pain: One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like reults.” THE CHRONIC “JINER” The Song He Sang. I)r. E. J. Carson, a member ot the Fayetteville contingent at the officers’ trainig camp at Fort Ogle­ thorpe, tells a good story about the life at the Georgia camp, gays a Fayetteville dispatch to the daily papers. One steaming hot day the doctor was hard at work down in a trench which his com­ pany was digging when a big 249- pounder at his aide stopped to wipe the perspiration from his brow, took a firmer hold on his pick, and struck up a song. This is what he sang: “Born in North Carolina; Raised in Tennessee; Worked like h— in Georgia; Die in Germanee!” The whole camp is singing it now. Exemption Board Didn’t QMjify. VVilkesboro Patriot It is reported that G. L. Parke, Wm. Bledsoe and Dr. U .G . Jouee, who were designated by Govern­ or Bickett as the war exemption board for Ashe county, had failed to qualify and organize and on the 8th Mr. A. L. Fleloher, who is Federal paymaster lor the North Carolina selective army draft pre­ liminary work, was here en rente, to; Jc Ifeison to try to get things straighl.ei.ed out. There was a rcat deni of work required te be done prior to July 7 and it seens that nothing at all has been done in Ashe county, siuce the regis­ tration board completed its work. There are two other connties whose exemption boards failed to qualify—Ramlico and Ouslow. AU Together. These are times that try men's souls: also the times fry men’s principles.

It seems that the higher the price of farm products go harder it is for the farmer and other laboring classes to pay their debts. Editor Perabee, of the Hickory Daily Record, is given a cordial in­ vitation to come down aud take a look at corn aud! bean patch, and then return home convinced that he has never seen a finer one.

To TBe Farmers, Their Wives, Sons Aad Daughters Of Davie. I am speaking to you In tbe inter­ est of our Farmers’ and women’s In­ stitutes which are to be held in our county at an early date. Owing to peculiar conditions in which we are placed the Institutes should receive more than ordinary interest from our farmers. The war in which we are engaged, while at present in far-away countries, should cause us all to be intensely in­ terested in everything that promises an increase in crops of all kinds, and more especially food and feed crops. Our government, both national and state, is advising enlarged food and feed crops. This seems to be ab­ solutely essentia] if we are to win the war in which we are engaged, and in which our boys and neighbors boys will be doing actual service in the future. They will be able to stay in the trenches and lines of bat- tie only as long as they can procure food for subsistance. Suitable arms and equipment are necessary for success, but not to the satnA degree as food; for without that they can hope for nothing in the way of suc- cesful campaigns; but on the !con­ trary they will know that defeat is certain. It is our patriotic duty as well as good business management to grow all the food and feed products that we possibly can and at the least pos­ sible cost. Our soldiers will need an abundance of “ home grown” stuff, and our allies in Europe will also depend on the U. S. for supplies for their armies. Let us do our part in growing enough for all of them. At the institutes we wapt to lay special emphasis on food and feed crops for man and beast. Of course this will mean discussions of soil im­ provement, live stock, and other things pertaining to our farm prac­ tice. We are wanting the best attended institutes this summer that we have ever had. We can secure this at teDdance only through the active cooperation of the people of the community in which the institutes are held. I am speaking to you to ask your cooperation in this work. I will very much appreciate it if you will endeavor to get your neighbors and in fact every person you can see to go out to the institute. By do­ ing this you will be very materially aiding in the good work. Very truly yours, T. B. PARKER. Director of Farmer’s Institutes. s ^ — — Galahaln News.

Register Now Under The Absent Voters Law. The Editor:—Please permit me to call the attention of your readers to the law enacted at the last session of the General Assembly which per mits absent electors to vote. Soldiers in the National Guard, all men who are’ called to service under the selective draft, and anv other voters who may be absent from their home voting places at the time of next primary election in May 1917, or at tbe general election in November thereafter should by all means see it now that their names are entered on the Absent Voters Registration Bcok. The Chairman of the. County Board of Elections in each county is the Registrar for all such voters who wish to register. The sheriff or any county officer will, upon re­ quest furnish his name and address. The fact that a voter is now regis­ tered will not entitle him to vote by mail if he is away from home at the time of the primary or general elec tion. He must be registered in the AbsentVoters Book. There is no provision in the law for registration by mai1. Each person who expects to avail himself of the privilege of this law must go in person and have his name entered on the Absent Voters Registration Book. There is no fee for this registra­ tion and every voter who Tnay be absent owes the duty both to himself and his State to register and regis­ ter now, for unless he does so regis­ ter iu person before going away he visitWg her tela.

What is the duty of the church in the present world-Wars? Our country is in war. Individual zens and multiplied organizations thereby called to loyalty, patriotism, and service. Much fine work has already been launched by women's organizations, as well as by meVs civic clubs, which chal­ lenges the Church to organized action. To the Church comes the double responsi­ bility of continuing her institutions with undiminished zeal, that the soul life of the nation may not suffer, and of render­ ing service for war relief and for the moral and spiritual upkeep of the soldiers in mobilization camps and on battle fields. Let every one in the Church pledge to give a special season each day to prayer that our officers and soldiers may be kept pure, strong, and true, that our nation ■nay be without blame in his bloody strife, and that peace may be speedily come. In these times of strain and sorrow keep alive the spirit of prayer, that men may be sustained by the consciousness of the presence and power of God. Organize prayer circles for definite prayer, that the soldiers may be fortified in character and made strong to resist temptation. Organize auxiliary and Church prayer circles and pray definitely, persistently, and unitedly that the miracle of p°ace may be wrought Bailey’s Chapel News.

As Soon as the Departmental Reports j Are In the Committee Will Begin Work on Budget—Provide for Big Loans. Washington.—The new war budget to carry the government through to next July and to cover additional credits to the allies promises now to far exceed the eight billion dollars, and may amount to ien billion. War department estimates sent to Congress calls for new appropria­ tions of $5,278,636,000 for that branch of the military establishment alone. Estimates totalling another $1,000,- 000,000 or- more are expected when the other departments report their needs, and in addition, Secretary Mc- Ado has indicated that before the year is out Congress will be asked for a $2,000,000 appropriation to in­ crease the funds available for loans abroad. As soon as the departmental re­ ports are in, the appropriation com­ mittees of Congress will go to work on an immediate budget which prob­ ably will total in the neighborhood of $7,000,000,000. Congressional leaders do not ex­ pect to have to provide immediately fop the additional credits to the al­ lies, as treasury officials have indi­ cated that no appropriation for that purpose will be requested until the next session. The gross estimates submitted by the war department totalled $5,917,- 878,37 hut that covered all existing and expected deficiencies in the de­ partment funds, including upward of $640,000,000 already appropriated for the aviation Projyamf This latter item will not be included in the bud­ get, but Congress will have to pro­ vide revenues to meet it since it was not on the ledger when the war tax bill was framed. Congress sentiment seemed in favor of Increasing the $.1,- 670,670,000 war tax bill only to about $2,000,000,000, with authorization both for a new bond issue, possibly at a higher interest rate and in serial form and for issuance for treasury certifi­ cates of indebtedness. Secretary Mc- Adoo is said to favor a much larger levy of taxes increasing the bill’s to­ tal by $1,000,000,000 or at least to $2,225,000,000.

Y.—In a speech here before 1,700 members of the officers’ reserv; corps, Secretary, of State Robert Lansing emphasizing the peril of German imperialism to the United States and <he world, declared his belief that tae German people would not cast off the. yoke of autoc­ racy” until the ph; sical might of the united democracies of the world has destroyed forever the evil ambitions of the military rulrs of Germany.” TWO KILLED IN RACE RIOT AT CHESTER, PA. Chester, Pa.—David Schwartz, a deputy sheriff an I an unidentified negro were shot and killed here in a fight In the heart of the negro section. The shooting occurred after a day of quiet following the disorders of the last two nights and was the result of the sending of a number of policemen and guards into the neighborhood after a crowd of negroes had opened fired on two guards. The two guards re­ treated after emptying their pistola Part of New Policy of “Blod and Iron” to Stop Sedition. The Russian government’s policy of “blood and iron” is to be caried out along lines which bodes ill for the se­ ditious troops along the eastern front and those persons within the country who are trying to nullify the good work that has followed in the wake of the revolution. Capital punishment, abolished with advent of the new government, again has been put into force on the demand of the military commanders at the ( front, who now will be able to assem­ ble field court martinis and put to death summarily traitors in the army. General Korniloff, commander of the forces in Galicia, whose disaffection and desertions have wrought havoc In the Russians morale, was the most in­ sistent of the military chiefs in calling for a free hand to check the refrac­ tory troops. Prior to the acquiescence of the government, General Korniloff is re­ ported to have taken the Mrastic step of having a division of fleeing cow­ ards of the elevent harmy shot to pieces by their faithful former brother- in-arms. Meanwhile, pending the tightening of the reins of repression, the Russian troops everywhere in Galicia from the region around Tamopol southward to the southwestern Bukowina border are continuing to give way, with rela­ tively little fighting before the Ger­ mans and Austro-Hungarians. Eager For First Reports. Washington.—Reports of • the first selection boards to fill their quota for the selective draft army are eagerly awaited by Washington ’offi­ cials, because they will give the first definite information as to probable percentage of rejections to be expect­ ed omong the ten million registrants. All available statistics indicate a probable rejection of one In every four for physical disability. In some localities this will vary, but the aver­ age for the whole country is expect­ ed to be between 25 to 30 per cent. Tillman Pushing Fertilizer Bill. Washimgton--Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, asked President Wil­ son not to exert his influence to have eliminated from the food control bin now in conference the senators amendment, appropriating $10,000 000 for the purchase of fertilizer for thin farms ’ along the Atlantic seaboard. The President expressed willingness as far as he is concerned to have toe amendment remain In-the bill. He pointed out that there might be some difficulty In getting the ships to bring nitrate from Chile, Washington.—No attempt is made here to minimize the seriousness of the situation in the war theaters in Europe. The United States is in the war and will go through with it; but any hope of a short struggle has gone glimmering with the apparent almost complete collapse of the Russian war machine. The development was not unexpect­ ed by many army officers. When the offensive of July I was started by the Russian forces the most frequent com­ ment heard here was that it was the probably dying kick of the old Russian machine. For the United States, the Russian collapse may have an immediate and direct bearing. It will, if the German general presses its advantage,-release additional German forces to bolster up the western front_where American troops are to be engaged. The German line in the west has not been serious­ ly impaired at any point, officers be­ lieve. They do not claim to know the situation along the battlefronts, but they are able to see that the Brit­ ish and French have wrested from the Germans any key position of such im­ portance that it can be used next year to hurl the enemy back. Russian Women Fight. Even the actual entry of women soldiers into battle on the eastern front has been insufficient to imbue the ranks of the recalcitrant Russians With'patriotism. They are still desert­ ing in large numbers in Galicia, leav­ ing of virtually free road open for fresh advances by toe Germans and Austro-Hungarians. From the Baltic to the Black Sea only a t one point, along the line in the southern Carpathians, have the Russians risen to the occasion and shown some of their old fighting spirit. Here fighting shoulder to shoulder with their Rumanian allies, they have attacked and captured several villages from the Germans and broken the heavily fortified Teuton line on a wide front. In Galicia, toe precipitate retreat of the Russians continues almost everywhere from the Carpathian foot­ hills to the region around Tarnopol, toe government apparently not. yet having had time to. put in force its strong repressive measures which M. Kerensky ,the head of the government, has promised to apply in order to stay th eretreat. Many Towns Taken... Nadvorna, in the fringe of toe foot­ hills, Stanislau and. Tarnopol and nu­ merous smaller towns have been tak­ en, by the Teutons who are now ap­ proaching the important railroad junc­ tion of Buczacz, which lies some 30 miles east of Halicz. The Gennan emperor was an observer of the bat­ tle on the Sereth front and saw his men put down the only effort of mo. ment that was made to hold them back—an attack by the Russians be­ tween Tarnopol and Trembowla. Notwithstanding the threat of Pre­ mier Kerensky that a policy of "blood and iron” is to be applied without re­ straint against the seditious Russian troops in East Galicia whose disaffec­ tion has made null almost all the brilliant gains they had achieved un­ der his personal leadership early in the month, the Russians continue their retirement, virtually pell mell, before the German and Austro-Hungarian ar­ mies. From the wooded Carpathians to the region of Tarnopol, the forces of General ’ Knorniloff almost every­ where were In disorderly i ^treat, hard­ ly anywhere making an attempt to hold back the oncoming enemy. Already the losses of the Hussians In men killed, wounded or made pris­ oners and in guns and stores captured are extremely heavy and thes.i un Soubtedly will become greater unless the hoped for stiffening of the morale of the Russians is realized soon. Stanislau, the principal junction for commercial activities in the crown- land of Galicia and an important grain and manufacturing center, is be­ ing evacuated by the Russihns, while Podhaytse, Halicz and other towns have been taken by the Teutons. Tarnopol, one of the chief towns in the erownland, is more seriously me­ naced than ever, if it has not already been retaken by the enemy crossing the river to the south. Including the hositilities in Galicia, the entire eastern front from the Baltic virtually to the Black Sea is the scene of big operations but with the Russians standing firmly against the enemy only in the Rumanian theater.

WILSON PUTS OUT DENMAN AND GOETHALS NATIONAL GUARD UNITS CALLED TO SERVICE Washington.—The entire national guard of toe country with the ex­ ception of toe troops from California and southwest state are in the federal service under President Wilson’s call. The remainisg units will be brought in August 5, on which day the whole force of probably 300,000 men will be draft­ ed into the army of toe United States and will lose its status as militia. From that day on the state -troops can be used for nay duty the president may direct and will be subject to no lim­ itations that do not apply to the regu­ lar army. » The first increment of toe guard was called out ten days ago. Those calyled into the second increment em­ brace New England, middle Western and northwestern states and several Southern states. Probably more than 150,000 men went on federal payroll. There have been many things to in­ dicate that guard Regiments which are now fairly well equipped and which have the benefit of the border mobili­ zation will not beheld long at the di­ visional training camps.

The state­ ment follows: “Arrivals, 2,791; sail­ ings, 2,791. British merchantmen sunk by mine or submarine over 1,600 tons, including two previously, 21; under 1,600 tons, three; British vessels unsuccessfully attacked. 15." Ends Shipping Row by Eliminating Two Principals. Washington. — President Wilson brought the shipping board row to an abrupt termination by eliminaitng toe two principals, William Denman, chair­ man of toe board and Maj. Gen. Geo. W. Goethals, manager of the board’s emergency fleet corporation, in charge of construction. The resignation of General Goethals, tendered some days ago, was accpted, and Mr. Denman was asked by the president to follow suit that the government’s building program might go forward without em­ barrassment. Edward N. Hurley, of Chicago, for­ mer chairman of the federal trade commission, was named by the presi­ dent tosucceed Mr. Denman to be­ come chairman of the board, and Bain- Iridge Colby, of New York, was ap­ pointed successor to Capt. John B. White, of Kansas City, another board member whose resignation, offered to the president a month ago, also was accepted. Rear Admiral Washington L. Cajpps, chief constructor of the navy, will succeed General Goethals as manager of toe fleet corporation, tak- -v z immediate charge of the building program. The nomination of Mr. Hurley and !Ir. Colby went to the Senate and '-ere referred to the commerce com- mitte. Thir prompt confirmation was predicted by both Democrats and Re­ publican leadrs. Denman Surprised. Mr. Dnman sent his resignation to the White House immedately after re­ ceipt of the president’s letter request- questing it. The president’s action manifestly took him by surprise, but his only comment was: “It was the best way to settle this •natter. I want to help the president in every way possible, and I never have questioned the wisdom of his de­ cisions."

Secretary McAdoo revealed that the war department alone is preparing estimates to cover additional expendi­ tures of nearly $5,000,000,000. after the war. The program was discussed at con­ ferences among officials of the war, navy, treasury, commerce and labor departments, the labor committee of toe council of national defense and Meeting at the Buncombe county courthouse superior court clerks from all parts of North Carolina perfected a permanent organization to work for greater unity and to the mutual ad­ vantage of clerks throughout the the presidents and othler high of*, state..

Campaigns Against Fires. Special agents and inspectors of virtually all fire insurance companies doing business in North Carolina met here today in the office of Insurance Commissioner Young to discuss plans to aid in the nation-wide campaign to assist the national government in do­ ing away with things tha tcause fires and destroy foodstuffs and wearing apparel after costly labor has been consumed in their production. S. Y. Tupper, Southern Manager of the Queen Insurance Company and A. M. Schoon, engineer for the Natioual Board of Fire Underwriters, composed a committee sent here to explain the ulans of the campaign and enlist the support of the field insurance men. Present at the conference were Gov- erndr Bickett, Commission Young, J. Broughton, Jr., president and A. T. Bowler, secretary of the Raleigh Chambei of Commerce; Prof. W. A. Withers, president of the Raleigh Ro­ tary Club, and about forty insurance field men, members of inspection boards and other insurance field workers. Cordial support of the state admin­ istrative departments were pledged to the campaign by Governor Bickett and Commissioner Young. The visiting committee expressed 'itself as highly pleased with the fa­ miliarity with the national campaign shown by the North Carolina workers and declared this the best meeting of the kind it had held. The committee has recently held similar conferences in Richmond and Columbia. At a second conference held in the afternoon the field men arranged de­ tails of the work to be done. North Carolina is to be divided into' dis­ tricts which will be under the super­ vision of these men, trained in inspec- kon of buildings and the detection and correction of fire hazards, and regular inspections will be made by them throughout the state and every effort wiH be made to prevent fires and espe­ cially fires which may destroy food­ stuffs in storage during the war emer­ gency. The work undertaken by the insur­ ance men is general in its scope and without bearing on the business of the companies they represent. The work is a voluntary and patriotic work un­ dertaken by the men and their com­ panies as a part in the National De­ fense Campaign. Inspections will be made of all classes of buildings and crops without regard to insurancee carried or anticipated. ALASKA STIRRED BY WITCH TERROR Indians Are * Circulating Wild Stories of Mystierious Hap­ penings. WHY AND HOW OF BUDDING EXPLAINED BLIND MAN IS WITCH Valuable Historical Collection. The collections of the North Caro­ lina Historical Commission are be­ coming widely recognized as among the best collections of historical mate­ rial in the United States. The use of- this material by mail has been exten­ sive for some time, but now historical students are finding it worth their while to come to Raleigh in order to pursue their investigations in person. The latest visitor is Prof. Chas. W. Ramsdell, of the department of history of the University of Texas, who is at work on a history of the civil admin­ istration of the Confederate States government. Another recent visitor who made extensive researches in the collections of the Historical Com­ mission was Dr. Charles M. Andrews of Yale University who is writing a history of the American colonies. Miss Mary Shannon Smith of Meredith Col­ lege is spending her vacation in the rooms of the commission at work on a history of Union sentiment in North Carolina during the Civil War; and Dr. D. H. HiU has now permanent quar­ ters with the Historical Commission where he is engaged in his history of North Carolina In the Civil War. Last week Mr Reaves of the Interior Department at Washington spent sev­ eral days among the commission's col­ lections investigating the claims of the Tuscarora Indians to lands form­ erly belonging to their tribe in North Carolina Another historical student now at work in Ralqigh is Miss Hat­ tie E Burch of Columbia University. Every historical student who comes to Raleigh is greatly impressed with the exten tand value of the Historical Commission’s collections and expresse Commission’s collections and ex­ presses delight with the excellent quarters provided by the state for the Historical Commission Movies for Guardsmen. Special from Camp Sevier, Green- vlile, S. C.—National guardsmen of North Carolina and Tennessee need have no fear that they will be depriv­ ed 6f the joy of seeing the “movies” while encamped here. “The pictures will be selected for the entertainmnt of the soldiers as well as for instructive purposes,” stated a Y. M. C. A. reprsentative. Only a small admission fee will be charged the-guardsmen to defray ac­ tual expenses. The price .will be much smalled than ‘that charged by modern theatres. It is stated that a soldier may be admitted for a two- cent postage stamp or the equivalent thereof. According to a statement of Major General Leonard Wood in a recent ad­ dress the men will be encouraged to spend their “leaves” away from camp. Charters Issued for Railroad. A charter was issued for the Chim­ ney Rock Railroad Company, of Can­ ton, Haywood county, the special pur­ pose being the construction and oper­ ation of fifteen miles of steam railway from Rutherfordton to Chimney Rock.

Juneau, Alaska.—Witchcraft has come back to Alaska. The Indians are circulating tales of mysterious happen­ ings. It has reached the point where the United States government has been forced to take official recognizance of the witch terror. In the district court here J. A. Smiser, federal attorney, has questioned many witnesses. A complaint of the practice of witchcraft among the natives of KilIis- noo was made some time ago to W. G. Beattie, superintendent of native schools for Alaska. An investigation in the Killisnoo village led Superin­ tendent Beattie to bring a number of the tribe to Juneau for examination by District Attorney Smiser, with the re­ sult the witch was found, but no law could be found on which to base a com­ plaint against him. Blind Man Claims Honor. From the testimony of the witnesses examined before the district attorney, the story of the witchery centers around a blind man, his fifteen-year-old daughter and her grandmother. For several months the blind man has been announcing himself as a witch, and has claimed responsibility for practically alt the deaths that have occurred in the village of Killisnoo for the past five years. According to the story of the little native girl, Mary Moses, or Klan-tosh, as her Indian name is, the first time she knew that her father was a witch was one night a “long time ago” when she was awakened in her sleep and felt cold. She-called her father and asked him for more covers, which he brought, and while covering her over, she says, He Told Her He Was a Witch. he told her for the first time that he was a witch and that he wanted her to learn to be one, too, in order that she might carry on his work when he died. In order that she might learn the secrets of' the practice she said her father told her she must visit with him an old graveyard across the bay. ’Mary stated her father told her to take hold of his foot and in a moment they "flew” across the channel to the cemetery. While there she said they were able to look through the earth down into the graves, and could see the bodies in them. After wandering about the .graves for a time her father trans­ formed himself into a white duck and on' his back she says she rode back across the channel. Mary told the dis­ trict attorney that that night she learned many things about witchcraft. Fears for Grandmother. The girl’s story was told with straightforwardness and without con­ tradiction, and the reason she said she wanted something done with her father was because she feared he would kill her grandmother with witchery. The child’s mother is dead and she is ap­ parently very fond of her grandmother, and is evidently sincere in her fear of her father’s power. The only charges against her father are based upon the firm belief that he is a witch, and in that connection he is accused of being responsible fer every­ thing in the way of misfortune which has happened in the Killisnoo Indian village. In the eyes of the law, Mr, Smiser says, it does look a little like hypnotism, but nothing tangible has oc­ curred which can be reached by law. Town Cats Must Wear Collars.

Successive Stages of Making Incisionsand Inserting Bud in Seedling Peach Trees. (B y W . L. H O W A R D , P rofessor o f H orti­ culture, U n iversity o f M issouri.) Every boy who has lived in the country, and many from the cities and towns, have heard folks talk about some fruit trees as seedlings and oth­ ers as budded or grafted trees. The boys know two distinguishing features between seedlings and budded fruits. Ihey know that seedlings are dug up from beneath old'trees and transplant­ ed to garden or orchard, and that the budded trees are purchased from a nursery. They also know, and this is ft very vivid memory, that the peaches from the budded trees often ripened In July, that they were nearly always freestones, and that they were much larger and finer looking than seedlings. At this point most boys’ knowledge of difference between seedlings and bud­ ded trees leaves off suddenly. Grownups too often are apt to find themselves equally in the dark. There is nothing mysterious or even difficult about the process of budding fruit trees. To many people the terms “budded” or “grafted” ate associated I with things that are mysterious. This ' is because the methods of budding and grafting are little understood by the masses of the people. Interchangeable Methods. "While the nurserymen commonly bud certain trees, and graft others, these two methods of propagation are usually interchangeable. The nursery­ man makes, use of the one that is cheapest and most convenient. As a rule, all the stone fruits (peaches, plums, cherries, etc.) are always bud­ ded, while apples and pears may be budded if desired but generally are grafted. Trees are budded because it is im­ possible to grow desirable varieties from seed. Now and then a peach will be found that can safely be peaches that would be a mixture of many kinds. If this new variety has larger fruit than its parents or is su­ perior in some other way, it may or may not have lost in point of vigor. Varieties often do lose some of their original power of resistance to cold or disease at the time they become more desirable on account of their fruit. But whatever the tree may be, if we want to grow other trees of ex­ actly the same kind we must do so by budding. Stone Fruits Budded. Stone fruits, such as peaches, plums, cherries, apricots and nectar­ ines are always budded. This Is done by transferring a single bud from a new twig to a young, one-year-old plant, usually of the same species, and causing it to grow. Peach seeds are generally planted in the spring and by the last of August the little seedling trees are ready for budding. The nurseryman takes his buds from the desired vaffety of tree, with each bud bearing a piece of bark perhaps three:qunrters of an Inch long; then by making the proper cuts In the bark of the seedling, the bud can be in­ serted next to the wood and tied there, where it will readily unite and grow up and make a tree. During that same season the bud does nothing but unite with the stock plant; but the following spring, when growth be­ gins, the top of the seedling tree is cut off and thus the bud we have in­ serted is forced to grow. The bud readily grows into a tree which the first season will reach a height of three or four feet. Such trees are then ready to dig up and plant in the or­ chard. The stone fruits are closely enough related so that in some cases one may be budded upon the other. Peaches A Represents a Peach Budding Stick—Best Buds Are Located Where Leaves Are Removed—At B Is Shown How to Remove a Bud from a Stick—Make a Crosscut Near Bottom of Knife Blade and Peel Bud From Wood With ThtKnb and Finger—At 1 Is Shown Shield-Shaped Piece of Bark Containing B ud-A t 2 Is Seen How First Cut Included Slice of Wood, but How This Wood Was Left Behind When Bark and Bud Were Peeled Off. grown from seed, but the most impor­ tant commercial varieties like the El- berta, Belle of Georgia, Carman, Champion, etc., must be grown from buds. Budded trees are commonly thought to be more tender than seedlings. There is some ground for this belief, but they are not weaker because they have been budded. The budding itself does not affect the vigor of a tree in the least. Trees are never budded unless buddings makes them more val­ uable than seedlings. If they are more valuable it is because they are more highly improved than the seed­ lings—that is (in the case of peaches), the fruit is larger, juicier and of bet­ ter flavor. However, it seems to be a law of nature that when a, plant or animal is improved gfeatly in one di­ rection there is a corresponding loss in another direction. Still some of this loss may be imaginary. New Varieties. In the case of fruit trees, new forms are constantly arising. Most of the new varieties are chance seedlings. If a large number of seeds, espe­ cially from improved varieties, were planted there might be found among the entire lot one that was better than any of the parents. This might be regarded as a new variety. How­ ever, In order to perpetuate this va­ riety it would be necessary, to resort to. budding, as the seeds, ii planted, would produce trees that would bear will grow as readily upon plums as they will upon peach roots, and, on the other hand, plums grow quite read­ ily upon peach seedlings. However, neither will do well upon the cherry, and the cherry will not grow upon them successfully. Peaches and nec­ tarines are easily Interbudded. In this connection it might be well to say that the nectarine is the result of a strange variation In the type of a peach, which occurred in the bud* Oc­ casionally a nectarine will be found growing upon a peach tree. The nec­ tarine is nothing more than a perfect­ ly smooth or fuzzless peach. A nec­ tarine tree, on the other hand, may pos­ sibly bear a peach. The seeds of nec­ tarine trees, if planted, may produce peach trees. Whenever a variation in a peach tree occurs, such as to produce a branch that, bears nectar­ ines, buds may be taken from such a branch and propagated and-come’ true to variety—that is, they can always be depended upon to produce nectar­ ines instead of peaches. It is thus seen that varieties always come true from buds. It is perhaps possible to graft or bud any plant— that is, an oak tree could possibly be grafted or budded upon another oak, or an Osage orange readily budded or grafted upon .* another Osage orange. The apple and the oak, and also the apple and Osage orange are In ho way related, and hence one cannot be made to grow upon the other. late NORTH CAROUmaA R K EtI quotations Western Newspaper Prices Paid by Merchants , ^ Products In the Markets 0{ ^ Carolina as Reported to then of Markets for the Week T '" '' Saturday, July 21, 1917_ ndirI Asheville.Oats, 98c bu; wheat c $3.50 bu; Irish potato^ .5^ P fi sweet potatoes, $1 bu. 5 7a l«:P N.

I am trying to hold them- (lowii until I hear from you. Don’t come if you don’t want to—but the L-uji is ready. With love, “SALLY.” . Slowly Samson South came to his feet. His voice was in the dead-level pitch which Wilfred had once before jK'.ird. His eyes were as clear and iiard as transparent flint. ‘Tm sorry to be of trouble, George,” lie said, quietly. “But you must get me to New York at once—by motor. I must take a train south tonight.” ".Xo bad news, I hope,” suggested Lescett. For an instant Samson forgot his four years of reneer. The century of prenatal barbarism broke out fiercely. He was seeing things far away—and forgetting things near by. His eyes blazed and his fingers twitched. "Hell, no!” 'ne exclaimed. "The war’s on, and my hands are freed!” For an instant, as no one spoke, he stood breathing heavily, then, -wheel­ ing, rushed toward the . house as though just across its threshold lay the fight into which he was aching to hurl himself. CHAPTER XIV. ‘ Samson stopped at his studio and threw open an old closet where, from a littered pile of discarded background draperies, canvases and stretchers, he fished out a buried and dust-covered pair of saddlebags. They had long lain there forgotten, but they held the rusty clothes in which he had left Misery. Samson had caught the fastest west­ bound express oh the schedule. In thirty-six hours he would be at Hixon. There were many things which his brain must attack and digest in these hours. He must arrange his plan of action to its minutest detail, because he would have as little time for reflec­ tion, once he had reached his own country, as a wildcat flung into a pack of hounds. From the railroad station to his home he must make his way—most probably fight his way—through thirty miles of hostile territory, where all the trails were watched. And yet, for the time, all that seemed too remotely unreal to hold his thoughts. He took out Sally’s letter, and read it once more. He read it mechanically and as a piece of news that had brought evil tidings. Then, suddenly, another aspect of it struck him—an as­ pect to which the shock of its recep­ tion had until this tardy moment blinded him. The letter was perfectly grammatical and penned in a hand of copybook roundness and evenness. The address, the body of the missive and the signature were all in one chi- rography. She would not have intrust­ ed the writing of this letter to anyone else. Sally had learned to write. Moreover, at the end were the words, “with love.” It was all plain now. Sally had never repudiated him. She was declaring herself true to her mission and her love “Good God!” groaned the man, in ab­ jectly bitter self-contempt. His hand went involuntarily to his cropped head, and dropped with a gesture of self- doubting. He looked down at his tan shoes and 3ilk socks. He rolled hack his shirtsleeve and contemplated the forearm that had once been as brown and tough as leather. It was no.w the arm of a city man, except for the burn­ ing of one outdoor week. He was returning at the eleventh hour- stripped of the faith of his .kinsmen, half-stripped of his faith in himself. If he were to realize the constructive dreams of which he had last night so confidently prattled to Adrienne, he must lead his people from under the blighting shadow of the feud. He must reappear before his kins­ men as much as possible the hoy who had left them—not the fop with new­ fangled. affectations. His eyes fell upon the saddlebags upon the floor of the Pullman and he smiled satirically He would like to step from the train at Hixon and walk brazenly through the town in those old clothes, chal­ lenging every hostile glance. If they shot him down on the streets, as they certainly would do, it would end his Questioning and his anguish of dilem- ma- He would welcome that, but it would, after all, be shirking the Issue. He must get out of Hixoc and into his own country unrecognized. The lean boy of four years ago was the somewhat filled-out man now. The one concession that he had made to Paris life was the wearing ' of a closely cropped mustache. That he still wore had worn it chiefly because he liked to hear Adrienne's humorous denuncia­ tion of it. He knew , that, in his pres­ ent guise and .dress, he had an excel­ lent chance of walking through the to streets- of Hixon as a stranger. And, after leaving Hixon, there was a mis­ sion to be performed at Jesse Purvy’s store. As he thought of that mission grim glint came to his pupils. AU journeys end, and as Samson passed through the tawdry cars of the local train near Hixon he saw several faces which he recognized, but they either eyed him in inexpressive silence or gave him the greeting of the “fur- riner.’- As Samson crossed the toll bridge 1 the town proper he passed two brown-shirted militiamen, lounging on the rail of the middle span. They grinned at him, and, recognizing the outsider from his clothes, one of them commented: ‘Ain’t this the hell of a town?” ‘It’s going to be,” replied Samson, enigmatically, as he went on. Still unrecognized, he hired a horse the livery stable, and for two hours rode in silence, save for the easy creaking of his stirrup leathers and the soft thud of hoofs. The silence soothed him. The brood­ ing hills lulled his spirit as a crooning song lulls a fretful child. Mile after mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some­ thing deep in himself murmured: “Home!" It was late afternoon when he saw ahead of him the orchard of Purvy’s place, and read on the store wall, a little more weather stained, but other­ wise unchanged: “Jesse Purvy, General Merchandise.” The porch of the store was empty, and as Samson flung himself from his saddle there was no one to greet him. This was surprising, since, ordinarily, two or three of Purvy’s personal guardsmen loafed at the front to watch the road. Just now the guard should logically be doubled. Samson still wore his eastern clothes—for he want­ ed to gp through that door unknown. As Samson South he could not cross its threshold either way. But when he stepped up on to the rough porch “The War's On and My Hands Are FreedI" flooring no one challenged his advance. The yard and orchard were quiet from their front fence to the .grisly stock­ ade at the rear, and, wondering at these things, the young man stood for a moment looking about at the after­ noon peace before be announced him­ self. Yet Samson had not come to the stronghold of his enemy for the pur­ pose of assassination; There had been another object in his mind—an utterly mad idea, it is true, yet so bold of conception that it held a ghost of promise. He had meant to go into Jesse Purvy’s store and chat artlessly, like some inquisitive “furriner.” He would ask questions which by their very impertinence might be forgiven on the score of a stranger’s folly. But, most of all, he wanted to drop the cas­ ual information, which he should as­ sume to have heard on the train, that- Samson South was returning, and to mark, on the assassin leader, the effect of the news. In his new code it was necessary to give at least the rattler’s warning before he struck, and he meant to strike. If he were recog­ nized, well—he shrugged his shoulders. But as he stood on the outside, wip­ ing the perspiration from his forehead, for the ride had been warm, he heard voices within. They were loud and angry voices. It occurred to him that by remaining where he was he might gain more information than by hur­ rying In. “I’ve done been your executioner for twenty years,” complained a voice, which Samson at once recognized as that of Aaron Hollis, the most trusted of Purvy’s personal guards. “I hain’t never laid down on ye yet. Me an’ Jim Asberry killed old Henry South. We laid fer his boy, an’ would ’a’ got him ef you’d only said ther word. I went inter Hixon an’ killed Tam’rack Spicer, with soldiers all round me. There hain’t no other damn tool in thes.e mountings would- ’a’ took such a long chance es thet I'm tired of it. They’re a-goin’ ter git me, an’ I wants ter leave, an’ you won’t come clean with the price of a railroad ticket to Oklahoma. Now, damn yore stingy soul, I gits that ticket or I gits you!” “Aaron, you can’t scare me into doin’ nothin’ I ain’t aimin’ to do.” Tbe old baron of the vendetta spoke in a cold stoical voice. “I tell ye I ain’t quite through with ye yet In due an’ proper time I’ll see that ye get yer ticket” Then he added, with conciliating soft­ ness: “We’ve been friends a long while. Let’s talk this thing over be­ fore we fall out.” ' “Thar hain’t nothin’ to talk over,” stormed Aaron. ‘‘Ye’re jest tryin’ ter kill time till the boys gits hyar, and then I reckon ye lows ter have me kilt like yer’ve had me kill them others. Hit ain’t no use. I’ve done sent ’em away. When they- gits back hyar, either you'll be in hell, or I’ll he on my way outen the mountings.” Samson stood rigid. Here was the confession of one murderer, with no denial from the other. The truce was off. Why should he wait? Cataracts seemed to thunder in his brain, and yet he stood there, his hand in his coat pocket, clutching the grip of a maga­ zine pistol. Samson South the old, and Sameon South the new were writhing in the life-and-death grapple of two codes. Then, before decision came, he heard a sharp report inside, and the heavy fall of a body to the floor. A wildly excited figure came plung­ ing through the door, and Samson’s left hand swept out and seized its shoulder in a sudden vise grip. "Do you know me?” he inquired, as the mountaineer pulled away and crouched back with startled surprise and vicious frenzy. “No, damn ye! Git outen my road!” Aaron thrust his cocked rifle close against the stranger's face. From its muzzle came the acrid stench of freshly burned powder. “Git outen my road afore I kills ye!” “My name is Samson South.” Before the astounded finger on the trigger could be crooked, Samson’s pistol spoke from the pocket, and, as though in echo, the rifle blazed, a little too late and a shade too high, over bis head, as the dead man’s arms went up. Except for those two reports there was no sound. Samson stood still, an­ ticipating an uproar of alarm. Now he should doubtless have to pay with his life for both the deaths, which would inevitably and logically be at­ tributed to his agency. But, strangely enough, no clamor arose. The shot in­ side had been muffled, and those out­ side, broken by the intervening store, did not arouse the house., Purvy’s bodyguard had been sent away by Hol­ lis on a false alarm. Only the “women­ folks” and children remained indoors, and they were drowning with a piano any sounds that might have come from without. Now Samson South stood looking down, uninterrupted, on what had been Aaron Hollis as it lay motionless at his feet. There was a powder-burned hole in the butternut shirt, and only a slender thread of blood trickled into the dirt-grimed cracks between the planks. Samson turned to the darkened door­ way. Inside was emptiness, except for the other body, which had crumpled forward and face down across the counter. A glance showed that Jesse Purvy would no more fight back the coming of death. He was quite un- armed> Samson paused only for a momen­ tary survey. His score was clean. He would not again have to agonize over the dilemma of old ethics and new. Tomorrow the word would spread like wildfire along Misery and Crippleshin that Samson South was . back and that his coming had been signalized by these two deaths. The fact that he was responsible for only one—and that in self-defense—would not matter. They would prefer to believe that he had invaded the store and killed Purvy and that Hollis had fallen in his mas­ ter's defense at the threshold. Sam­ son went out, still meeting no one, and continued his journey. Dusk was falling when he hitched his horse in a clump of timber, and, lifting his saddlebags, began climbing to a cabin .that sat back in a thicketed cove. He was now well within South territory and the need of masquerade had ended. The cabin had not for yeairs been oc­ cupied. Its rooftree was leaning askew under rotting shingles. The doorstep was ivy-covered, and the •stones of the hearth were broken. But it lay well hidden and would serve his purposes Shortly, a candle flickered inside, before a small hand mirror. Scissors and safety razor were for a while busy. The man who entered in im­ peccable clothes emerged fifteen min­ utes later—transformed. There ap­ peared under the rising June crescent a smooth-faced native, clad in stained store clothes, with rough woolen socks showing at his brogan tops, and a battered felt hat drawn over his face. No one who had known the Samson South of four years ago would fail to recognize him now. And the strang­ est part, he told himself, was that he felt the old -Samson. At a point where a hand bridge crossed the skirting creek, the boy dismounted. Ahead of him lay the stile where he had said good-by to Sally. He 'was going to her, and nothing else mattered. He lifted his head and sent out 'a long, clear whippoorwill call, which quavered on the night much like the other calls In the black hills around him. After a moment he went nearer, in the shadow of a poplar, and re­ peated the call. Then the cabin door opened. Its jamb framed a patch of yellow candle light, and, at the center, a slender silhouetted figure, in a fluttering, eager attitude of uncertainty. The figure turned slightly to one side, and. as it did so,' the man rsw !’!a-vied in her right, hand r:!’ \ v;!iirh ha.-! br-r i i SUe tiesHaiCd. and u.4 ji. iu v > • in the shadow, once more imitated the bird note, but this time it was so low and soft that it seemed the voice of a whispering whippoorwill. Then, with a sudden glad little cry, she came running with her old fleet grace down to the road. Samson had vaulted the stile and stood in the full moonlight. As he saw her coming he stretched out his arms and his voice broke from his throat in a half-hoarse, passionate cry: “Sally!” It was the only word he could have spoken just then, but it was all that was necessary. It told her everything. For a time there was no speech, but to each of them it seemed that their tumultuous heartbeating must sound above the night music, and the teleg­ raphy of heartbeats tells enough. But they had much to say to each other, and, finally, Samson broke the silence: “Did ye think I wasn’t a-coming hack, Sally?” he questioned, softly. At that moment he had no realization that his tongue had ever fashioned smoother phrases. And she, too, who had been making war on crude idioms, forgot, as she answered: ‘Ye done said ye was cornin’.” Then she added a happy lie: "I -knowed plumb shore ye’d do hit.” After a while she drew away and said, slowly: “Samson, I’ve done kept the old- rifle-gun ready fer ye. Ye said ye’d need it had when ye come back, an’ I’ve took care of it” She stood there holding it, and her voice dropped almost to a whisper as she added: “It’s been a lot of comfort to me sometimes, because it was your’n. I knew if ye stopped keerin’ fer me ye wouldn't let me keep it—an’ as long as I had it I—” She broke off, and the fingers of one hand touched the weapon caressingly. After a long while they found time for the less wonderful things. “I got your letter,” he said, seriously, 'and I came at once.” As he began to speak, of concrete facts he dropped again into ordinary English and did not know that he had changed his manner of speech. For an instant Sally looked up into his face, then with a sudden laugh, she informed him: “I can say ‘isn’t’ instead of ‘hain’t,’ too. How did you like my writing?" He held her off at arm’s length, and looked at her pridefully, but under his gaze her eyes fell and her face flushed with a sudden diffidence and a new shyness of realization. She wore a calico dress, but at her throat was a soft little bow of ribbon. She was no longer the totally unself-conscious wood nymph, though as natural and in­ stinctive as in other days. Suddenly she drew away from him a little, and her hands went slowly to her breast and rested there. She' was fronting a great crisis, but, in the first flush of joy she had forgotten it She had spent lonely nights struggling for rudi­ ments; she had sought and fought to refashion herself, so that, if Jie came, he need not Jie ashamed of her. And now he had come and, with a terrible clarity and distinctness, she realized how pitifully little she had been able to accomplish. Would she pass mus­ ter? She stood there before him, frightened, self-conscious and palpi­ tating, then her voice came in a whis­ per: “Samson, dear. I’m not boldin’ you to any promise. Those things we said were a long time back. Maybe we’d better forget 'em now and begin all over again.” But again he crushed her in his arms and his voice rose triumphantly: “Sally, I have no promises to take back, and you have made none that I’m ever going to let you take back— not while life lasts!" Her laugh was the delicious music of happiness. ■ “I don’t want to take them back,” she said. Then, suddenly, she added, importantly: “I wear shoes and stock­ ings now, and I’ve been to school a lit­ tle. I’m awfully—awfully ignorant, Samson, but I’ve started, and I reckon you can teach me.” His voice choked. Then, her hands strayed up, and clasped themselves about his head. “Oh, Samson,” she cried, as though someone had struck her, “you’ve cut yore ha’r.” “It will grow again,” he laughed. But he wished that he had not had to Kake that excuse Then, being hon­ est, he told her all about Adrienne Les- cott—even about how, after he be­ lieved that he had been outcast by his uncle and herself, he had had his mo­ ments of doubt. Now that it was all so clear, now that there could never be doubt, he wanted the woman who had been so true a friend to know the girl whom he loved. He loved them both, but was in love with only one. He wanted to present to Sally the friend who had made him, and to the friend who had made him the Sally of whom he was proud. He wanted to tell Adrienne that now he could answer her question—that each of them meant to the other exactly the same thing; they were friends of the rarer sort who had for a little time been in dan­ ger of mistaking their comradeship for passion. As they talked, sitting on the stile, Sally held the rifle across her knees. Except for their own voices and the soft chorus, of night sounds, the hills were wrapped in silence—a silence as soft as velvet. “I !earned some things down there at school, Samson." said the' giri, siow- ’ lv, ""lid I \v-::—I w yc.u dU'ln’i have , .-,..j-.VJ U uiht- "''in ** ■■ j . dead.” She stopped there. Yet, her sign completed the sentence as though she had added, “but he was only one of several. Your vow went farther.” After a moment’s pause, Samson added: “Jesse Purvy’s dead.” The girl drew back, with a fright­ ened gasp. She knew what this meant, or thought she did. “Jesse Purvy!” she repeated. “Oh, Samson, did ye—?” She broke off, and covered her face with her hands. “No, Sally,” he told her. “I didn't have to.” He recited the day’s occur­ rences, and they sat together on the ; 6tile, until the moon had sunk to the j ridge top. 1* * * * * . * * Capt.

He realized, too, and it rankled deeply, 'that his men were not being genuinely used to serve the state, but as instru­ ments of the Hollmans, and he had seen enough to distrust the Hollmans.

Sherman, Tat. WAR TERMS NOT UNDERSTOOD “Forlorn Hope,” for Instance, Hac Not , the Meaning With Which It j Is Credited. , In the course of every war one hears a great deal about "forlorn hopes.” The term is one of the most misused in the vocabulary of war. It is commonly misunderstood to mean “lost troop”—that is “detached troop.” The word “hope” in the ! phrase is not an English but a Dutch word, “hoop,” meaning literally “heap,” and secondarily body of troops. The word “forlorn” represents the Dutch "verloren"—lost. A "ver- loren hoop” was a detached body of troops thrown out in front of the main line of -battle to find the enemy j and engage them first This was the regular sixteenth and seventeenth | century practice, and though it was ! one of the more dangerous kinds of service it was not desperate or, in the Knglisfi sense, forlorn. Nowadays much the same work is done by the detached bodies of cavalry which are thrown out before the main line to And the enemy. "Capitulation” is another term of war, which is very loosely UBed. It does not mean surrender, but sur­ render on terms; in fact, it means the terms, not the surrender. It is from the Latin “capitulum” or “heading” (from which is derived our word "chapter”), and a capitulation is a formal treaty of surrender drawn up under a series of headings or chap­ ters, embodying the terms on each point Aroused, Then Mollified.

Much Depends on Kind of Fowls That Are Raised—Plentiful Pasturage Saves Feed Bills. The profit made from geese depends on the kind of fowl that is raised. Common geese weigh ten to thirteen pounds. The goslings weigh from eight to ten pounds. The profit on one of these is from sixty cents to a dollar. Purebreds weigh from fifteen to twen­ ty pounds, and goslings from thirteen to fifteen pounds apiece. It costs about ten cents a pound to raise them. Raising goslings is also ideal for farm women, as usually plenty of pas­ ture is available; and a plentiful sup­ ply of pasture means small feed bills. Tlxe less feed to buy the greater the profit. The outlay need not be large, as the breeders can be sheltered In a cheap building. "While it is cheaper to start with mongrels, they also bring smaller returns. Even if - the initial outlay is greater it pays to start right; that is, with purebreds. However, if it be impossible to start with the pure­ bred, do the best you can.

Rats cause great losses In many poultry yards, but there should be no trouble in getting rid of them by poi­ soning with a mixture of two parts eornmeal and one part sugar of lead. The hand should not come in contact with the poison feed; and all other feeds shoxild be removed so the rats cannot get them. The poisoned feed may be kept away from the chickens by putting it in a- ti-ay, nailed to the middle of the bot­ tom of a board at least a foot square and sis inches high. The box should be closed on all sides except for a number of inch-and-a-lxalf holes bored through the sides near the bottom. Burn or bury the dead rats so that chickens cannot eat them.

The greener it is the better they ’ like it.. Finely ground alfalfa meal is not so palata­ ble as that freshly thrown down from the mow or taken from the cen­ ter of tlie stack.

World-wide war and war prices abould not disturb the tobacco farm­ er In the least, and should move him only to try to meet the increased de­ mand and realise the greater profits I which the market affords. Prosperity is abroad,’why should not the tobacco grower get his share;of it? On the battle front tobacco is the one sedative. Its aromatio smoke rises as an incense from every trench. The. army demand is great and grow­ ing. Persistent rumor has it that the manufacturers’ stocks are running low. Certain it is that consumption in this country is increasing. Bright Outlook. In fact, the outlook for tobacco is bright, and it would seem that every pound grown this year would find ready market at good; prices. It is, therefore, a ' year to go in to raise bumper crops, to prepare the seed bed well, to plant good seed, fertilize lib­ erally and cultivate thoroughly so that the maximum crop of the best quality could be obtained and the largest prof­ it accrue. Feeding the Plant Liberally Just as farmers are doing for all other crops, the tobacco;; farmer should be doing for his crop, that is, feed lib­ erally with plant food. i This is a year when prices which crops are bringing should induce the farmer to be gener­ ous in feeding them, and considerate In giving them the best possible culti­ vation, feeling assured that at no time In many years would this be better Justified by the returns that can be expected this year. No plant is more responsive to good fertilization and cultivation than to­ bacco. It yields heavily when proper­ ly fertilized and when the fertilizer is well balanced the better the quality of the yield. The shortage in the supply of pot­ ash incident to the war has been a disturbing factor, it is true, but if a fertilizer containing Uhe amount of pot­ ash generally recommended is not to be obtained, the nearest fertilizer to it, of course, can be used, every effort being made to give the plant its full food requirements. This seems to be about the best advice the experts are giving to tobacco growers this year, with respect to this one important ele­ ment of plant food In raising tobacco. As for the other elements Of plant food for the growing of tobacco, there has been no serious trouble to sup­ ply on account of the war, unless the car shortage is to be considered. But for the farmer who has been fore­ sighted, car shortages have not been serious difficulties, since he has or­ dered far enough in advance to make sure of getting his shipment in time. For tobacco the phosphoric acid should be used only in the form of acid phosphate and the nitrogen should come from those materials hav­ ing it in quickly available form such as nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammo­ nia, dried blood and cottonseed meal. Quoting from Virginia Experiment Station bulletin 19S: "Higher applications of fertilizer ap­ plied to tobacco usually paid better than light applications. Fourteen hun­ dred pounds of an 8-3-3 fertilizer gave a net profit of $19.58 per acre more than 800 pounds of the same fertilizer, and the after effects on succeeding crops were more pronounced.” Fertilizer for Gardens and Lawns. Inquiry—“What kind of fertilizer and how much would you recommend for a garden and lawn? Tell me in terms of a lot 100 feet square.” For a lot 100 feet square to be used for garden vegetables you can use with profit 400 pounds of an 8-4-2 fer­ tilizer, that is a fertilizer containing 8 percent phosphoric acid, four per­ cent nitrogen and two percent potash. If potash can not be had, get as near this kind of fertilizer as possible. Put on about 200 pounds of this fer­ tilizer on a lot 100 feet square, as a top dressing for the lawn.—J. C. Pridmore.

Tbatis what many are doing. The number is increasing and threatens to increase more rapidly. Some of our friends are growing ricb. We feel uneasy about them. It may he imaginary, but it seems to us I Ii at these are stiffening a little iu their self esteem, carrying their heads a bit higher, and com­ ing to feel that they are entitled to a little more consideration than had been accorded them hitherto Apparently there is an automobile air about their bearing that puts it iu contrast with the bearing that went along with the horse and buggy. There is something ap proaching self-assertiveness, a kind cl dramatic firmness in the ex­ pression of opinion that we had not noticed before. W e hope our fears are groundless, but if our eyes do not deceive us, certain un­ favorable symptoms are in evi- deuce. One may grow rich and not grow mean, but such an achievement re quires the constant ministration of God’s grace and the frequent in­ terventions of a watobful and mer cifal providence. Jacob is a case in point. He grew rich, and im proved in character: but what wrestliugs of God with him, re­ sulting in his being a cripple for life. Solomon is a caBe not in point. He started out beautifully, confessing himself but a -lIittle child,” and calling on God for help. He wound up with a chai- acter so soiled as to fill us with apprehensions as to his present place of abode. Iiiches bring power, and the po­ ssession of power is. a crucial test of character. “ Do th e-rich op piess you, and Bfrag5JbJrrbetore the judgment seats! Do not they bias plieme that worthy Dame by which we are called! It James kne.w any exception to the rule, he thought the exception so 6light that it might be passed over. He reminds us of the preacher who said: “ All lawyers shall have their part in tbe lake that burneth with fire,” aod who on noticing his .mistake, said it was too slight to need cor reetion. H e who wields power of any kind without abusing it ia to be ranked very high among the saints. Biches permit indulgence, and indulgence breeds pride and sel­ fishness. -‘A certain rich man clothed himself in purple and fine lintn and fared sumptuously every day.” As a matter of course he died. This, did not necessarily mean thot he should “ lilt up hie> eyes being in torment” but this was a perfectly natural sequence, l’ersons may clothe themselves “ in purple and tine linen and Iare sump1 uously every day” and go to' lieavet, but “ how hardly” shall they do it. Far easier it is for t Iieiu to go to the other place, add tliey are in tbe habit of following siie liueol least resistance'. The rapid and distressing rise in price of practically all the necessi­ ties of life is a puzzling phenome­ non. Our wisest statesmen and our expert commercial men are Perplexed. They see no reason., iu the nature of things. The gov cruinent is investigating. So far. ail iudiuitions point to the greed °i those who are making a pretext <l( tue war to boost pi ices for sel­ fish ends. It looks as if there is to be widespread suffering among the poor in order that some men grow rich and mean. "Of course, they are comparatively wean to start with, but they will superlatively mean to end with. Bow ready we are to subordi- Qate righteousuess to riches is re healed by the eagerness with which Wnimonitiesi are seeking soldier encampments. It is notorious that NUMBER 4 Paris Women Charmed. The appearance of America nav­ al officers in white dnck summer uniforms in the smart Paris restau rants causes gasps astonised de light, especially among the fair -Paristenues who admire chic,. cool appearance of the officers. Since the arrival of the* Ameri­ cans, the police have had to wink at the law prohibition singing and music iu cafes and restaurauts. as it is impossible to prevent the sailors, marines and regulars from gathering .in_.qUMtetft.and, teaching the Canadins und Australians the means that they are average men, in a measure released from whole some restraints. True, the gov­ ernment proposes to exercise a pa­ ternal protection,' as far as pos Pible. Doubtless this will help some, but communities did not wait lor this announcement from the government before putting forth their utmost efforts to secure the presence of the soldiers They are after the dollars, whatever may become of the morals. W ith the present and prospec­ tive price of cotton, there is a bright prospect for the South. Farmers are already prosperous. It looks as if they ere to grow rich. Our sympathies have always been with the farmer in the economic struggle. But now we are feeling anxious. They are fully as good as other people, but they are mean enough notwithstanding. We should not like to have them grow meaner, but unless they break all precedents that is what they will do if the price of cotton holds up and continues to advauce.

Bicket has pardoned a yonng man who was serving 18 months in the State prison for se­ duction; A t the time of the alleg­ ed seduction the_ youth was 17, the woman 20. The offender had served 18 months. “ Eighteen in the penitentiary is punishment a-plenty for a 17-year-old boy who seduces a 20 year-old woman.” says the Governor in granting the pardon, ami that’s all he did say. And in this case tbe Governor was on pretty solid ground.—Ex. From Tom Watson's State.

German soldiers have no doubt (lone monstrous things, but they have been done for the most part by order of their superior officers *‘Theres not to make reply, theres not to reason why, ~ theres but to do and- die.” That sentiment was written by a Britisher and has been accepted the world over as a fine expression of a glorious prin­ ciple. The soldiers have merely obeyed their officers, and that is what soldiers in all IandB are real Iy taught to do. Our own soldit r < are expected to do as much, when they go to France. It is the rule of war.—Church Record'. Canners Asked To Hold Prices . Down. Ganners of the country are asked to reduce prices to as low a level as possible, in a letter sent them by Herbert C. Hoover, Food Commiss­ ioner. in which he warns that the output of the home canneries, swell­ ed to nnusual proportions by reason of the backyard gardening campaign, may prove a serious embarrassment to the manufactures in disposing of this year’s product. “If canners and jobbers persist in asking high prices.” says Mr. Hoov­ er, “ they will find retailers carrying these high cost goods on their shelves for succeeding years and a depress­ ed market for canned products.

Gnr Future Rulers. Mr. James H . Pou says that the old political issues are dead and burled. That the Democrat who goes before the people with noth ing but “ the crime of 68” and and “Butler and Bond,” and the Hepublican who. relies on “ Pro teciion” to see him through, will find themselves standing in the middle of the road without an audience. The burning issue ac cording to Mr. Pou, will be, did you serve your country by enlist' ing,' or did you simply advise oth erd- to serve? The next Governor, thoHawyer thinks will not be se- elecied Irom the Yadkin, the Ca­ tawba or the Cipe Fear but from the Marne. This may or may not be ^rue, but it is worth thinking about. And worse things could befall, us than the burying out of sight of the old issues which have served well to rally the boys for the^past half century. W e have all felt the need of something fresh in the average political speech, and cousepuently something more nearly up to date in the policy of the two old parties. The voters ouCboth sides are tired ol being buncoed. If the war had not come to: give us a live issue, the public patience was about exhaust­ ed over the worn out phrase and the moldychesnuts of ancient times We are inclined to think that the joung man who shoulders, his musket will stand the best Bhow for .the political honors and re­ ward^. And we are free to eay he ought to stand the best show. The .orator who goes about the conn try urging other people to figbtbut taking good care to' stay out-of danger himself; is , hardly th©man to'lay claim to" the" suff­ rage of the people when the strug­ gle is over. The man who makes tbe personal sacrifice and lays his life upon the altar of his country is the man the people will delight to honor. The high places in 1920 will be filled with soldiers.— Charity and Children. A kind act aids yon just as much Bathe other fellow. An injur}s hurts him worse than you. TakeItInTim e. The Burning Question. One of the. perplexities- of an editor is to ascertain what is chief interest in the public mind, and to write on that subject. There is always the danger that hie may miss the point by emphasizing what he feels to'be of most viial importance, but may not be of especial interest to bis readers. We have this difficulty about, the war. We wonder if our friends are not tired of the" subject, and when they see a war headline, turn wearily from it. But the editorial mind refuses to work in any other harness. We trytodiscuss other, things but come back inevitably to the great one theme. This may be the result of personal experience; but are there not thousands of oth­ ers having the same tragic ex­ perience! Can any subject be un­ interesting that involves the life of our own sons and brothers! We are persuaded that it will be a vital subject -until the danger is’ overpast and the t oys are safe. Food conservation, the necessity for economy, the planting of grain, (he affairs of the state, county and town, even the progress of the churches are relegated for. ;the present to the rear, and the su preme issue is the wretched war and its slow and tortuous progress as it moves along its pathway- of blood aud death. VVe would be glad to have postal cdrd - opinions upon this matter. If those who feel that we are giving to much at­ tention to war matters will say so we will be much obliged to them. Thew riter confesses that he is tired writiug about the. war. and yet, like a magnet, this great shad- bw that overspreads the world, draws his' mind' 'back-from-•other things and holds it to this bloody subject. VVhenwe see a ray of. light we want our readers to see it too, but for the past few days there has been more Of gloom than of gladness.—Charity and Children. . When the government completes those airplanes we suggest senators and congressmen for the crews. They are so accustomed to being “ upin tbe ait” that high altitudes wouldn’t bother them.

During tbe hot weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at.hand.

At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain.

The Colcnel can’t forgive the Ad-' ministration for not allowing him to Ieada divison to France With tie first overseas expedition. Just to keep the matter before the public, he has published his correspondence with Secretary Baker and the Piesi- dent in full in one of the late maga­ zines.. Of course the war will be won, but the Colonel will never te convinced that it couldn’t have been won a little more convinced that it couldn't have been won a little more - expeditiously if the War Department had accepted the proffer of his. services.—Charlotte Observer.. While ruminating let us go.a little further back. What would have been conditions had Colonel Roose­ velt been President? Many believe that the trouble in Mexico woul have been ended long ago and the trouble with Germany settled with the. sink­ ing of .Lusitania. When President he settled the complicate Venezuelan trouble in just 24 hours by a firm and .fixed policy toward Germany. As to not sending him to France with volunteers, it was a mistake. The ,government was and is still call­ ing/for volunteers. Nor did Colonel Roosevelt want to go as commander jn chief. The letters to Secretary of War Baker, above referred to, explain that. As to. efficiency,' the war with Spain is an exemplification and for seven years he was com­ mander in chief of the army as President. The administration is calling for non-partisan efforts, yet when the leading Republican of the nation tenders his services and 180,- 000-volunteers, he is turned down. He. is turned down. No better man could have been sent to France., nor one who would have carried inore enthusiasm where, ever h e ' went. It was the desire of. the American people and also of France, that Colonel Roosevelt should go to FrariceTand there wasgreafrdisap- pointment in France when he was not permitted to come.

The edi tor. cwner, manager and publisher of this paper properly appreciates all patronage when it is given grace­ fully and because the advertiser wants it, but the aforesaid Pooh bah of the Times does not want and will not have an advertisement from any one who gives it as though it hurt him, and the sooner that party lets us know that he has got the jim- jams and the bellyache because of it, the quicker we will be pleased, and then we will give him an exhibition of a record stunt in pulling his ad Now, we hope we make ourselves plain. The Times man never asked a man, woman or child for an ad v.ertisement, a subscription or a piece of job work, and he never will. The Times man never made out a bill for a person unless it was asked for and we never dunned anyone on our own initiative since we have had this paper—seventeen years. The Times man does not have to be asked to buy his groceries from a grocer, his meat from the butcher or his shoes from the shoe merchant; and we have not the slightest objection if these merchants want to have their printing.done at a glue factory and their advertising done by a lot of old hens and roosters—long-hair ed men and short-haired women Again, we appreciate all business that comeB to this office gracefully. We do not give a damn for any oth­ er kind." It is uot difficult to deduct from the tone of Editor Blair’s remarks that he does not believe in accepting advertising or business of any kind except on a.strictly business basis, and every fair minded publisher will heartily concur in his stand. Everynewspaper worthy of the name gives full value for every dol­ lar received for advertising or sub­ scriptions and the publisher who does not think so is receiving money under false pretense, says the Pub­ lisher's Auxilary. • The Winston Sentinel got for some advertising by a nittQ last week.

The thought that one must have eggs for breakfast every morning and meat at dinner is unnecessary.’’ Prof. Henderson approved' of corn bread, white bread, dates and ch^ap but nourishing meats to cut the coet of living. “The high cost of living can be cut only through the kitch- en8,” he said. “Our cooks are far from economical, the housekeeper ef today has lost the art of buying, and nearly 25 per cent, of the food matter is wasted in the kitchen.” j With bread at 10 cents per loaf, Rieat 30 cents per pound, peas $3 per bushel, lard 20 ceDts and every­ thing else higher yet, a fellow would storve to death trying to live on 10 or 12.centB a day. Couldn’t even eat corn bread, peas and sow belly three times a day at the present price. Wonder if Prof. Hendersun is living onjl2 cents a day.

Congressman Doughton probably won’t get his dog tax enacted, but he is to be commended for advocat­ ing it. It is a proper source of rev­ enue. There never has been any good reason why the owner of a dog should not pay a privilege tax; on the contrary there are many reasons why he should. Moreover, the tax will undoubtedly mean the death of many worthless dogs, which would save an enormous amount of food­ stuff—not merely the food fed to these dogs, but the quantities of chickens, egg*, sheep, etc , stolen and consumed by dogs. Heretofore the average candidate for the Legi3 Iature was afraid to intimate that he favored legislation to restrict dogs. When a member of Congress, 'representing a rural constituency, has the courage to boldly pronounce for the dog tax, it means something —or at least The Landmark is going to indulge the hope that it does.

Hege, of Enterprise, Da­ vidson county, who was in the city Saturday ,reported that some strange animal had been playing havoc with frying size and a few old chickens in his section during the past two weeks. A summarymade by some of the citizens shows that more than six hundred fowls have been slaugh­ tered.' The animal’s track looks like that of a dog, but some who have seen it are inclined to believe that is a panther. Others express opinion that it is a wolf. The ani- ma! eats only the heads ar.d feet oi the chicken Jcillqd, It has been dis­ covered that the strange animai on Iy visits honfes where there j^re nc doga. Mr. Oryill Craver has report­ ed the loss of more than 100 chick­ ens. all of which he believes were killed by the strange animal.

WAS I K S I B L E IO r e f u s e Many Changes Are Forecast as Pre­ mier Intends to Conduct a Strong Government to Carry Out Old Prin­ ciples Thought Best. Peirograd.—Premier Kerensky has returned to Petrograd aud WithdraWh his resignation. He attended a min­ isterial meeting and afterwards con­ ferred with various political leaders. M. Kerensey has issued a manifesto in which he declares that he con­ siders it impossible when the country is threatened with defeat without and disintegration within to refuse the heavy task again entrusted to him, which he regards as an express order from the country to construct a strong revolutionary government to carry out the prin ip.’es i.'ready laid down. "At the same time,” says the man­ ifesto, “I consider It inevitable to introduce changes in the order and distribution of government work with­ out allowing myself to be influenced by the throught that these changes Trill increase my responsibility in the supreme direction of the affairs of state.” SLIGHT GAIN IN FLANDERS IS MADE BY ANGLO-FRENCH. Canadians Slowly Tighten—Pinchers Forcing Germans From Lens. Infantry fighting although not on an extremely heavy scale, began in Flanders on Sunday and in two en­ gagements the Anglo-French troops were victorious. The weather moderating, Crown Prince Rupprecht, after an all-night bombardment sent his troops aaginst the British positions at Hollebeke, on the Tpres-Comines Canal, between Yures and Warnton and, charging forward on both sides of the' canal the Germans gained a footing In the village of Hollebeke. The success was only momentary as the British drove them out by an immediate counter-attack and took some prison­ ers. Other Gerhian attacks in this area also were checked." Northwest of Bixschoote, which lies to the north of Ypres, the French are following up their ^uccesgesj ^of last week. In an attack’ against "the Ger-' man lines Sunday , they made further progress. The pinchers with which the. Ca­ nadians are slowly forcing the Ger­ mans out of Lens, again has bgen tightened slightly. In an advance in the Oite du Monlin the Canadians have pushed forward their line on a front of one thousand yard's to a depth of two hundred yards. The Canadians consolidated the position which is within a thousand yards of the cen­ ter of Lens on the western front of the town. Southeast of Arras Ger­ man raids against the British lines on Sunday met with failure. German attacks on the Aisne front have been withstood successfully by the French. Against the Casemates plateau the Germans made two 'at­ tacks which were repulsed. South of Juvincourt the German crown prince threw strong forces against the French lines early' Sunday. The French were driven from a small ele­ ment, but Iter ejected the Germans and held their line intact; HOLLAND-AMERICAN STEAMER HITS MINE Amsterdam.—The Holland-American line steamship ' Noordam, homeward bound ran upon a mine the. westward of the island of Texel. There were no casualties. The ship is still affoat. GERMAN PLANE LANDS IN NETHERLANDS LIMITS Amsterdam.—A German airplane landed oh the island - o f-Ameland on account of motor trouble; The occu­ pants of the machine .were interned;'- CABLE FAR EAST IS BROKEN IN MID-PACIFIC New Y ork.—Communication with ■the PhiHippines and China including Hong Kong by way of San Francisco over the commercial Pacific cable has been interrupted, the Commercial Ca­ ble Company announced here and cablegrams "can be forwarded only via Europe.” It was ,^explained that the cable broke somewheres between Guam and the Philippines and that a ship would have to be sent out to Pick up the line and repair .it. RUSSIAN LEADERS VOTE CONFIDENCE IN KERENSKY Petrograd.—By a vote of 147 to 46 a joint meeting of the executives of the workmen’s and soldiers and peasants’ councils confirmed the decision of the all-night political conference of con­ tinued confidence in Premier Keren­ sky. The Maximilists strongly pro­ tested and forty-two of the members °t this party absteined from voting. The duma committee also has con­ firmed the vote of confidence in M. Kerensty. ■ •• REVISED BILL IS REPORTED TO THE SENATE BI FINANCE COM­ MITTEE. NO P R lIjIlS Il FOR BONOS Reported Bill Provides For Approxi­ mately $2,000,000,000 For War Ex­ penses.—Increase Taxes on Liquors, Beer, Wines, Profits, Etc. Washington.—The war tax bill, un­ der revision since ■ May 24, was put into final form for report to the Sen­ ate by the finance committee. It pro­ vides for approximately $2,000,000,000 in taxes to meet war expenses, • but makes no provision for further bond authorizations. The bill was increas­ ed $133,000,000 over the total as it passed the House. About $327,000,000 was added during the last week be­ cause of the latest war estimates. Senators LaFollette, Gore and Thom­ as plan a seperate report advocating higher tax levies. The new increase of $327,000,000 over the committee’s original draft is distributed approximately among the following additional leves: On corporate incomes, $162,000,000. Additional sur-taxes on individual incomes of $15,000 and over, $27,500,- 000. Distilled spirits, $95,000,000.. Beer, $12,500',000. Wines, $17,000,000. War excess, profits, $5,000,000. Bank checks, $2,000,000. Floor, or stock, taxes on sugar, cof­ fee, tea and cocoa, $6,000,000. Total $327,000,000. Thei additional levy on incomes of corporations applies also, to partner­ ships, joint stock companies and es- sociations, including life insurance companies. Their normal income tax is increased to six per cent, four per cent more than the present law, and two per cent above the oringinal House and committee program. • • • ■ • The increased surtaxes fall entirely on individuals having incomes of $15,- 000. or above. FEW EXEMPTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES Postal Carriers, Clerks or Laborers Not to fare Exempted. Washington.—A ruling by the post- office department shows that1'the de­ partment officials will make few re­ quests for exemption from military service. Postmasters, are Instructed not to ask for exetnpiton' for-carriers or laborers or for clerks in second class offices below the $1,000 grade; clerks in first class offices below the $1,100 grade, or any above these grades un­ less they are qualified distributors of mall. ■’ The ruling is the first formal action by an executive department in com­ pliance With President Wilson’s order directing that department officials in- icadet exemptions and that the re­ quirement of indispensability be rig­ idly enforced. As generally con­ strued the postal ruling shows the purpose of the administration ot make the government departments leaders in freeing valuable employes for war service. The.entre mail carrier force, num­ bering thousands of men, of whom a considerable percentage are within the draft age limits,* is excluded from exemption unless for physical reasons or- because they haye dependent fam­ ilies. Every portion of the country is reached by the rilling, as even the rural carriers are included. The department’s TiiIing in regard to clerks, leaves railway mail clerks, within the exemption," iClass, as they are highly specialized distributors. - ■ ■ Provost Marshall General Crowder took steps to reduce the number of exemptions because of dependent'fam­ ilies: Instructions were'sent to the !governors Of all states pointing out that the minimum pay of soldiers ia now $30 a month and that local board? must consider whether a man’s de­ pendents could not be supported on that amount." ' ~ .' O. S. POSTAL AGENCY ESTABLISHED IN FRANCE Washington.—American soldiers at the front no ware receiving their mail without interruption, as a result of the establishment of the United States postal agency in France, Postmaster General Burleson announced. A corps of experienced workers, under the di­ rection of Marcus H. Bunn, is hand­ ling mail matter at the base post- office and at branches established at Paris, the training camps, and at the AmRrican port of debarkation. OKLAHOMANS ARM TO RESIST CONSCRIPTION DRAFT Shawnee,'Okla.—One hundred a p | fifty men said to have gathered with the intention of resisting the selective draft were reported here to ^ ve ered at Rock Crossing on the Soutn Canadian river,.on the boundary e- tween Seminble and Hughes_ countifes. This point was selected to be tie sisters’ base of operations: Roy Crane, a socialis tagitator, was arrested at Holdensville. 'H e carried a grip fill?* with ammunition. INQUIRIES FROM WASHINGTON TO EUROPEAN NEUTRALS SEEK FULL INFORMATION. HIEW PUH OF BPINO Amerca is Laying Foundation For Plan For Rationing Neutrals Which Will Stop Exports From Finally Reach­ ing Germany. Washington.—Full information con­ cerning food conditions in the north­ ern European neutral countries has been asked of the neutrals by the United States in notes handed .to their diplomatic representatives: The American government’s plan for rationing the neutrals through its control of exports will be finally de­ termined on after replies are receiv­ ed. The information sought concerns the exact food needs of those- coun­ tries; their food production capacity and details of their export and import trade of the last few years- The in- tenton of the United States is to hold exports to the enutrals to the barest necesities to prevent American food­ stuffs or food they replace from reaching Germany. Only actual food deficiencies will be made up from America and assurances will be de­ manded that no Ainerican-produced food is re-exported or used to sup­ plant food that is exported. ' Quick responses to the notes are looked for, since at present no ship­ ments to the neutrals are permitted to leave American ports and some of the countries are badly in need ' of grains. MARRIAGE AFTER CALL NO GROUND FOR EXEMPTION- Provost Marshal General Cautions ' Local Boards. Washington—Local boards were for­ mally instructed by Provost Marshal General Crowder that they may well hold that a marriage recently con­ summated, especially by a registrant after he has been called for examina­ tion, does not create a status of de­ pendency justifying Immunity from conscription: “The selective draft service law,” read the instructions, “does not re­ quire discharges in all cases of techni­ cal legal ‘ dependency,. but only per­ mits discharges where in view 6f de­ pendency a discharge' is advisable. Local boards may well, hold that a marriage hastily consummated re­ cently, and especially one consum­ mated by a person after he has been called to present -himself for exami­ nation to determine his fitness jfor mil- itar yservice, does not create a status of dependency in which it is advisable tfi^rant a discharge. “It is to be expected that local boards will exercise this full discre­ tion in cases where they are con­ vinced that unscrupulous persons have thus violated the principles of the selective service law in hope of es­ caping duty.” PROHIBITION CUT OUT OF PROGRAM BY HOUSE. Washington. — National prohibition by constitutional amendment was hung up in the House by the prohi­ bition leaders themselves. The .resolution to submit the pro­ posal to the states, passed by the Senate, was put^out of the program tor the present-session and will not come up until the regular sfssion in December. , - -Representative Randall of Califor­ nia,- the prohibition party’s' only rep­ resentative in Congress,'issued a state­ ment declaring that “the friends of na­ tional prohibition have been flim- flammed by the liquor lobby In the constitutional amendment adopted in the Senate.” He added that “a great jollification’’ was herd by liquor repre­ sentatives In a Washington hotel and that; a well defined rumor had sprung up htat the six-year clause added on Senator Harding’s motion- was really written by the brewers’ attorneys. ' “The joker is not in the_ six-year handicap itself-” said Mr.'Randall, “though that is' without a single prece­ dent in history. The Harding clause provides that ‘this article- shall be' in­ operative unless ratified within six years-’ The impression is that the prohibition amendment would not be­ come a part Of the constitution un­ less so ratified. The fact is,' it will become a part of the constitution if ratified after the time limit but will be inoperative. The whole cam­ paign to secure ratification by the states will, be clouded by this uncer­ tain language.” REGISTRATION LIST * IS REPORTED STOLEN. Indianapolis, Ind.—The official list of registrants in Marion counfy, out­ side of Indianapolis, containing 2,691 names, disappeared from the office of Hugh McK. Landon, chairman of the exemption board for that divison. He reported the theft'of the. numbers and iames to the federal authorities here and to; Jese E. Schabach, state con­ scription officer. Copies of the ofii- /cial list had been made-sometime ago. NEW LIST OF REGULATIONS FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE PRESS. ENFORCEMENT UP TO PRESS Repeated Violations Whlch_Were Ex­ cused on ' the Score off Misunder­ standing Cause New Rules and Re- ; quest for Their Observance. Washington.—A new list of press regulations making material changes In-the voluntary censorships rules un­ der which American newspapers have been operating was promulgated by the • committee on public information. The new regulations contain the first general request that there be no published mention of the arrival of American 'troops at European ports, replacing in that respect an express authorization in the old rules for use of any cable dispatches passed by the European censors. , The old regulations are made more severe by specific stipulations in Place of the more general language em- oyed In the rules in fore until now. Information which the government oonsiders might reveal military move­ ments or policies is described in great detail. In the statement announcing the new regulations, George Creel, chair­ man of the committee, says that “re­ peated and serious violations of the voluntary censorship have been at­ tempted to. be excused on the score of “misunderstanding,” and that a “re-statement” is made with the ideT. that hereafter there shall be no room for doubt: as to the committee’s de­ sires. The instances In which the most serious charges of violation have been made, however, have not result­ ed from misunderstanding of the com- mitee’s rules, but from following them implicitly. These' instances have in­ volved publication of dispatches pass­ ed -by the European censors,, announc­ ing the arrival of American military units in Europe. PROMPT, EFFICIENT WORK BY EXEMPTION BOARD Procedure Has Been Stripped of Al! “Red Tape.” jP ^ashingtonr-P rom pt and. efficient work by district exemption boards is expected by government officials as a result of stripping all red tape from the procedure of the tribunals. President Wilson’s executive order outlining the principles to govern ex­ emptions. coupled with instructions to the boards from Provost Marshal General Crowder are regarded here at setting In motion the last phase of the selection process with a mini­ mum of confusion and delay. The object of the instructions Is to Impress the boards with the view that their primary purpose is to se­ lect the personnel for the national ariny in the shortest possible time. To that end they have been informed that no legal precedents will bind them, and that there need be no ad­ herence to rules of evidence or other technicalities of court procedure. Attorney General Gregory set in motion further machinery to increase the size of the registration reservoir from which 687,000 men of the first call are to be drawn. Thousands of men failed to register for one cause or another. Through the district at­ torneys, the department of'justice is rounding up these - men and when found they will be assigned numbers which will insure their belpg called up' for examination at an early date. The first reports of the local boards on-physical examination are beginning to - appear; As yet they are not complete enough to make any logical deduction as to the probable average of rejection for reason. The draft statistics of the civil wax which showed between twenty-five and thit- ty per cent rejected - on this ground, ■tlll: are the best guide on the ques­ tion. CONSTITUTIONALITY OF DRAFT TO BE TESTED Athens. Ga.—Opponents of the se­ lective draft, attending a mass meet­ ing at Boid’s Springs, jeered loyal citizens who sought to warn them against unpatriotic . actions. The meeting was one • of a series of de; monstrations in Georgia against the law. • The presence of a United States commissioner with a squad of depu­ ties probably prevented violence.

British Front in' France and Bel­ gium.—An- epoch-making offensive, launched- by the British and French against* ■ the • German - lines between the River Lys and Boesinghe at day­ break- has, with few exceptions, ac­ complished all that has been planned for the first day of this battle which, in its early stages, gives promise of being^ the greatest conflict of the War. Roughly speaking, the British pen­ etrated r jsitions held by Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria between Boesinghe and Warneton, and at the time of the filing of this dispatch, were in possession of the first three lines of the German trenches at most points throughout the front. In nu­ merous places the entente allies en­ countered strong resistance and counter attacks from the desperate Teutons... Between Dlxmude and Boesinghe, the attacking forces are .reported to have -secured the two first lines of the' German trehches after having fought over the most difficult terrain imaginable due to marshes and in­ undate I areas with which the sector is blocked. The German front line about the Ypres salient, which has been held unquestioned by the enemy since the early- days of the war. offered little resistance to the British advanced Thei British again captured Labas- see Ville on the Franco-Belgian fron­ tier, which a few days ago they had occupied and then relinquished.

HASTY v arr :ages w o n t ' EXCUSE FROM DRAFT Women Who Wed to Help Men Be­ come Slackers Make Themselves' Liable to Prosecution. Washington—Hasty marriages made since July 20, the date of the army draft drawing in an effort to escape conscription through the claim of a dependent- wife will not be considered ground for discharge unless the wife, is actually dependent on the husband’s daily labor. Prompted by reports from many cities of marriage license bureaus besieged by men included in the first draft tall, Provost Marshal General Crowder ruled that “marriage is not of itself a valid ground for maldng claim for discharge.” Dependency is a matter of fact, not of law. General Crowder pointed out. “A man whose wife is mainly de­ pendent on his daily labor for sup­ port,” he said, “may claim exemption on that ground- Only the exemption boards can determine this fact. TOiere dependency is claimed and circum­ stances show a marriage hastily con­ summated since July 20 a man whose number is high on the available list, the actual fact of dependency must be closely scrutinized.- ' “Moreover,” eneral Crodwder de­ clared, “wonien who marry men mciely to aid them to be slackers are iable to prosecution under the draft act.” • ■ "Moreover,” General Crowder de- hered ' strictly to' President Wilson’s 'draft regulations whlch-drawno dis­ tinction between a dependent wife ac­ quired before or after the drawing. Secretary Baker advocated refusing exemption to any man married after the, drafting, saying the draft should be considered a prior claim, but this course will not be allowed.

Resides being on duty as an officer o f militia. Callomb was a Kentuckian, i n t e r e s t e d in the problems of his com­ m o n w e a l t h . and; when be went back, h e k n e w that his cousin, who occupied t h e e x e c u t i v e mansion at Frankfort, w o u l d be interested in his suggestions. T h e governor had asked'him ti report h i s impressions, and he meant to, af­ t e r analyzing them. S o , smarting under his impotency, Captain Callomb came out of his tent o n e morning, and strolled across the c u r v e d bridge to the town proper. He k n e w that the grand jury was conven­ i n g , and h e meant to sit as a spectator i n the courthouse and study proceed­ ings when they were-instructed. B u t before he reached the court­ h o u s e , where for a half-hour yet the c u p o l a bell would not clang- out its s u m m o n s to veniremen'and witnesses, h e f o u n d fresh fuel for his wrath. He was not a popular man with these clansmen, though involuntarily he had been useful in leading their vic­ tims to the slaughter. There was a scowl in his eyes that they did not l i k e , and an arrogant hint of iron laws i n the livery he wore, which their in­ stincts distrusted. Callomb saw without being told that over the town lay a sense of por­ tentous tidings. Faces were more sullen than usual. Men fell into scowl­ i n g knots and groups. A clerk at a store where he stopped for tobacco inquired as he made change: “Heerd the news, stranger?” “What news?” “ T h i s here ‘Wildcat’ -Samson South c p m e back yistiddy, an’ last evenin’ t o w a r d s sundown, Jesse Purvy an’ A a r o n Hollis was shot dead.” F o r an instant, the soldier stood l o o k i n g at the young clerk, his eyes k i n d l i n g into a wrathful blaze. Then, l i e c u r s e d under his breath. At the d o o r , he turned on his heel: “ W h e r e can Judge Smithers be f o u n d at this time of day?” he de­ m a n d e d , CHAPTER XV. ,. T h e Honorable Abe Smithers was n o t t h e regular judge of the circuit w h i c h numbered Hixon among its c o u n t y seats. The elected incumbent w a s i l l , and Smithers had been named a s h i s pro-tem. successor. Callomb c l i m b e d to the second story of the f r a m e bank building and pounded loud­ l y o n a door, which bore the boldly- t y p e d shingle: “Asa Smithers, Attorney-at-Law.” T h e temporary judge admitted a v i s i t o r in uniform, whose countenance w a s stormy with indignant protest. T h e j u d g e himself was placid and smil­ i n g . T h e lawyer, who was for the time b e i n g exalted to the bench, hoped'to a s c e n d it more permanently by the v o t e s of the Hollman faction, since o n l y Hollman votes were counted. He w a s a young man of powerful physique w i t h a face ruggedly strong and hon­ e s t . Callomb stood for a moment inside the door and when he spoke it was to demand crisply: “ W e l l , w h a t are you going to do a b o u t it?” “ A b o u t w h a t , captain?” inquired the o t h e r , mildly. “Is it possible you haven’t heard? Since yesterday noon two murders have been added to the holocaust You represent the courts of law. I repre­ sent the military arm of the state. Are we going to stand by and see this go o n ? " T h e judge shook his head, and his v i s a g e was sternly thoughtful and h y p o c r i t i c a l . He did not mention that h e h a d just come from conference w i t h t h e Hoilman leaders. He did not e x p l a i n that the venire he had drawn f r o m t h e jury drum had borne a singu­ l a r l y s o l i d Hollman complexion. “Until the grand jury acts I don’t see that we can take any steps.” ^ “ A n d , ” stormed Captain Callomb, the g r a n d jury will, like former .grand juries, lie down in terror and InaCtiV- >ty. Either there are no courageous w e n i n your county, or these panels a r e selected to avoid including them.” J u d g e Smithers’ face darkened. If he w a s a moral coward, his was at l e a s t a coward crouching behind a seeming of fearlessness. Captain,” he said, coolly, but with a dangerous hint of warning, “I don’t see that your duties include contempt ofcourt.” No!” Callomb was now thoroughly ngered, and his voice rose.' “I am atiH ?0%vn bere subject to your orders, ord U seems you are also subject to j ers‘ Bete are two murders in a hi0’/ ? pping a cIitBax of 20 years of to jv You have information as 8 arriTal of a man known as a . peJado with a grudge against the stpnJ * 3 mea’ yet y011 httow of no I’ll P- take' c^ive me the word and othpro °Ut and brinS that man, and any —if if ^cm name* to your bar of justice sake 18 a bar of justice! For God’s than’tElIe 100 something else to do down i° Ing In Prisoners to be shot "own in cold blood.” The judge sat balancing a . pencil on his extended forefinger, as though it were a scale of justice.' “You have been heated in your lan­ guage, sir,” he said, sternly, “but it is a heat arising from an indignation which I share. Consequently, I pass it over. I cannot instruct you to arrest Samson South before the grand jury has accused him. The law does not contemplate hasty or unadvised action. AU men are innocent until proven guilty. If the grand jury wants South, I’ll instruct you to go and get him. Until then, you may leave my part of the work to me.” His honor rose from his chair. “You can at least give this grand jury such instructions on murder as will point out their duty. You- can as­ sure them that the militia will protect them. Through your prosecutor you can bring evidence to their attention, you—” “If you will excuse me,” interrupted his honor, dryly, “I’ll judge of how I am to charge my grand jury. I have been in communication with the family of Mr. Purvy, and it is not their wish r.t the present time to bring this case be­ fore the panel.” Callomb laughed ironically. “Ho, I could have told you that be­ fore’ you conferred with them. I could have told you that they prefer to be their-own courts and-executioners, ex­ cept where they need you. They also preferred to have me get a man they couldn’t take themselves, and then to assassinate-him in my hands. Who in the hell do you work for, Judge-for-the- moment Smithers? Are yoii holding a job under the state of Kentucky, or un­ der the Hollman faction of this feud? I am instructed to take my orders from you. Will you kindly tell me my master’s real name?” Smithers turned pale with anger, his fighting face grew as truculent-as a bulldog’s, while Callomb stood glar­ ing back at him like a second bulldog, but the judge knew that he was being honestly and fearlessly accused. He merely pdinted to the door. The cap­ tain turned on his heel and stalked out of the place, and the judge came down the steps and crossed the street to the courthouse. Five minutes later he turned to the shirt-sleeved man who was leaning on the bench and said in his most judicial voice: “Mr. Sheriff, open court.” The next day the mail carrier brought in a note for the temporary judge. His honor read it at recess and hastened across to Hollman’s Mam­ moth Department Store. There, in council with his masters, he asked in­ structions. This was the note: “The Hon. Asa Smithers. “Sir: I arrived in this county yes­ terday, and am prepared, if called as a witness, to give to' the grand jury full and true particulars of the murder of Jesse Purvy and the killing of Aaron Hollis. I am willing to come under the escort of my own kinsmen, or the mili­ tiamen, as the court may advise. “The requirement of any bodyguard I deplore, but in meeting my legal ob­ ligations, I do not regard it as neces­ sary or proper to walk into a trap. “Respectfully, “SAMSON SOUTH.” Smitheie looked . perplexedly at Judge Hollman. “Shall I have him come?” he in­ quired. Hollman threw the letter down on his desk with a burst of blasphemy: “Have him come?” he echoed. “Hell and damnation, no! What do we want him to come here and spill the milk for? When we get ready, we’ll indict him. Then, let your damned soldiers go after him—as a criminal, not a witness. After that, we’ll continue this case until these outsiders go away,' and we can operate to suit ourselves. We don’t fall for Samson South's tricks! No, sir; you never got that letter! It miscarried. Do you hear? You never got it.” Smithers nodded grudging acqui­ escence. Most men would rather be independent officials than collar-wear- ers. ' Out on Misery Samson South had gladdened the soul of his uncle with his return. The old man was mending,’ and, for a long time, the two had talked. The failing head of the clan looked vainly for signs of degeneration, in his nephew, and, failing to find them, was happy. “Hev ye decided, Samson,” he in­ quired, “thet ye was right in yer no­ tion, ’bout goin’ away?" Samson sat reflectively for a while, then replied: “We were both right. Uncle Spicer— and both wrong. This is my place, but if I'm to take up the leadership it 'must be in a different fashion. Changes are coming. We can’t any longer stand still.” Spicer South lighted his pipe. He, too, in these last -years, had seen In the distance the crest of-the oncoming wave. “I reckon there’s right smart truth to that,".he acknowledged. “I’ve been studyin’ ’bout hit consid’able myself of- late. Thar’s .been sev’ral fellers through the country talkin’ coal an’ timber an! railroads—an’ sich like." Sally went to mill that Saturday, and with her rode Samson. There/be­ sides WUe McCager, he met Caleb Wiley and several others. At first, they received him skeptically, but they knew of the visit to Purvy’s store, and they were willing to admit that in part at least he had erased the blot from his escutcheon. Then, too, except for cropped hair and a white skin, he had come back as he had gone, in home­ spun and hickory. There’ was nothing highfalutin in his manners. In short, the impression was good. “I reckon now that ye’re back,- Samson," suggested McCageii, “an’ see- ln’ how yere Uncle Spicer is gettin along all right, I’ll jest let the two of ye run things. I’ve done had enough. It was a simple fashion of resigning a regency, hut effectual. Old-Caleb, however, stlU. insurgent and unconvinced, brought in a minor­ ity report “We wants flghtin’ men,” he grum­ bled, with the senile reiteration of his age, as he spat tobacco and beat a rat- tat on the mill floor with his long hickory staff. “We don’t want no de­ serters.” “Samson ain’t a deserter,” defended SaUy. "There isn’t one of you fit to tie. his shoes.” SaUy and old Spicer South alone knew of her lover’s letter to the circuit judge, and they were pledged to secrecy. “Never mind, Sally!” It was Sam­ son himself who answered, - her. “I didn’t come back because I care what men like old Caleb think. I came back because they needed me. The proof of a fighting man is his fighting, I reckon. I’m willing to let ’em judge me by what I’m going to do.” . So, Samson slipped back, tentative­ ly, at least, into his place as clan head, though for a time he found it a post without action. After the fierce out­ burst of bloodshed, quiet had settled, and it was tacitly understood that, un­ less the Hollman forces had some coup in mind which they were secreting, this peace would last until the soldiers were withdrawn. “When the world’s a-lookin’,” com­ mented Judge Hollman; “hit’s a right good idea to crawl under a log—an’ lay still.” Purvy had been too famous a feud­ ist to pass unsung. Reporters came as’ far as Hixon, gathered there such news as the Hollmans chose to give them, and went back to write lurid stories and description, from hear­ say, of the stockaded seat of tragedy. Nor did they overlook the dramatic coincidence of the return of “Wildcat” Samson South from civilization to sav­ agery. They made no accusation, but they pointed an inference and a moral —as they thought. It was a sermon on the triumph of heredity over the ad­ vantages of environment. Adrienne read some of these saffron misrepre­ sentations, and they distressed her. • * * * • • * Meanwhile, it came insistently to the ears of Captain Callomb that some plan was on foot, the intricacies of which he could not fathom, to manu­ facture a case against a number of the Souths, quite apart from their actual guilt, or likelihood of guilt Once more, he would be called upon to go out and drag in men too well fortified to be taken by the posses and depu­ ties of the Hollman civil machinery. At this news, he chafed bitterly, and, still rankling with a sense of shame at the loss of his first prisoner, he formed a plan of his own, which he revealed over his pipe to his first lieutenant. “There’s a nigger In the woodpile, Merriweather,” he said. “We are sim­ ply being used to do the dirty work up here, and I’m going to do a little probing of my own. I guess I’ll turn the company over to you for a day or two.” “What idiocy are you contemplating now?” inquired the second in com­ mand. “I’m going to ride over on Misery, and hear what the other side has to say. I’ve usually noticed that one side of any story is pretty good until the other’s told.” “It’s sheer madness. I ought to take you down to this infernal crook of a judge and have you committed to a strait-jacket.” “If,” said Callomb, “you are content to play the catspaw to a bunch of as­ sassins, I’m not The mail-rider went out this morning and he carried a . let­ ter to old Spicer South. I told him that I was coming unescorted and unarmed and that iny object was to talk with him. I asked him to give me a safe ,conduct, at ieast, until I reached his house, and stated my case. I treated him like an officer and a gentleman, and, unless I'm a poor judge of men, he’s going to treat me that way.” The lieutenant sought vainly to dis­ suade Callomb, but the next day the captain rode forth, unaccompanied. Curious stares followed him and Judge Smithers turned narrowing and un­ pleasant eyes after him, but at the point where the ridge separated the territory of the Hollmans' from that of the Souths be saw waiting in the road a mounted figure, sitting his horse straight, and clad in the rough habili­ ments of the mountaineer. - As Callomb rode up he saluted and the mounted-figure' with perfect grav­ ity and correctness returned that salute as one officer to another. The captain was surprised. Where had this mountaineer with the steady eyes and the clean-cut jaw learned the niceties of military etiquette? "I am Captain Callomb of ‘F’ com­ pany,” said .the officer. “I’m riding over to Spicer South’s house. Did you come to meet me?” “To meet and guide you,” replied a pleasant voice. “My name is Samson South.” The militiaman stared. This man whose countenance was calmly thoughtful scarcely comported with the descriptions he had heard of the “Wildcat of the Mountains;” the man who had come home straight as a storm-petrel at the first note of the tempest and marked his coming with double murder. CaUomb had been too busy to- read newspapers of late. He had heard only that Samson had "been away.” While he wondered, Samson went on: “I’m glad you came. If it had been possible I would have come to you.” As he told of the letter he had written the judge, volunteering to. present him­ self as a witness, the officer’s wonder grew.. “They said that you had been away,' suggested Callomb. “If it’s not an im­ pertinent question, what part of the mountains have you been visiting?” Samson laughed. "Not any part of the mountains,” he said. “I’ve been Uving chiefly In New York—and for a time in Paris.” • Callomb drew his horse to a 'dead halt “In the name of God,” he incredu­ lously asked, "what manner of man are you?” “I hope," came the Instant' reply, “it may be summed up by saying that I’m exactly the opposite of the man you’ve had- described for you back there at Hixon.” “I knew it," exclaimed the soldier. “I knew that I was being fed on Ues! That’s why I came. I wanted to get the straight of it, and I felt that the solution lay over here.” They rode the rest of the way In deep conversation. Sa'mson outlined his ambitions for his people. He told, too, of the scene that had been enacted at Purvy’s store. Callomb listened with absorption, feeling that the narrative bore axiomatic truth on its face. At last he inquired: “Did you succeed up there—as a painter.” “That’s a long road,” Samson told him, “but I think I had a fair start I was getting commissions when I left” “Then I am to understand”—the offi­ cer met the steady gray eyes and put the question like ' a cross-examiner bullying a witness—“I am to under­ stand that you deliberately put behind you a career to come down here and herd these fence-jumping sheep?” “Hi rdly that,” deprecated the head of the'Souths. "They sent for me— that’s all. Of course, I had to come." “Why?” “Because they had sent. They are my people.” The officer leaned In his saddle. "South,” he said, "would you mind shaking hands with me? Some day I want to brag about it to my grandchil­ dren.” Callomb spent the night at the house of Spicer South. He met and talked with a number of the kinsmen, and, if he read in the eyes of some of them a smoldering and unforgiving remem­ brance of his unkept pledge, at least they repressed all expression of cen­ sure. With Spicer South and Samson the captain talked long into the night He made many jottings In a note book. He with Samson abetting him, pointed out to the older and more stubborn man “They Are Going to Indict You on Manufactured Evidence.” ' . the necessity of a new regime In the mountains, under which the individual could walk In greater personal safety. As for the younger South, the officer felt, when he rode away next morning, that -he had discovered the one man who combined, with the courage and honesty that many of bis clansmen shared the mental equipment and local influence to prove a constructive lead­ er. When he returned to the Bluegrass he meant ot have a long and unofficial talk with his relative, the governor. The grand jury trooped each day to the courthouse and transacted its busi­ ness. The petty juries went and came, occupied with several minor homicide cases. The captain, from a chair, which Judge Smithers had ordered placed beside him on the bench, was looking on and intently studying. One morning, Smithers confided to him that in a day or two more the grand jury would bring in a true bill against Samson South, charging him with mur­ der. The .officer did not show sur­ prise. He merely nodded. "I suppose I’ll be called on to go and get him?” “I’m afraid we’U have to ask you to do that.” ‘!What caused the change of heart? I thought Purvy’s people didn’t want It done." It was.Callomb’s first allusion, except for bis apology, to their former altercation. For an instant only, Smithers was a little confused. "To be quite frank with you, Ca1- lomb,” he said, “I got to thinking over the matter in the light of your own viewpoint, and, after due-deliberation, I came to see that to the state at large it might bear the same appearance. So, I had the grand jury take the matter up. .We must stamp out such lawless­ ness! as Samson South stands for. He is the more dangerous because he has brains.” Callomb nodded, but, at noon, he slipped out on a pretense of sightsee­ ing, and rode by a somewhat circuit­ ous route to the ridge. At nightfall, he came to the house of the clan head. “South,” he said to Samson, when he had led hiin aside, “they didn’t want to hear what you had to tell the grand jury, but they' are going ahead to indict you-on manufactured evi­ dence.” Samson was for a moment thought­ ful, then he nodded. "That’s about what I was expecting ” "Now,” 'went on Callomb, "we un­ derstand-each other. We are working for the same end, and, by God! I’ve had one experience In making arrests at the order of that court I don’t want it to happen again.” “I suppose,” said Samson, “you know that while I am entirely willing to face any fair court of justice, I don’t pro­ pose to walk into a packed jury, whose only object is to get me where I can be made way with. Callomb, I hope we won’t have to fight each other. What do you suggest?” ' “If the court orders the militia to' make an arrest, the militia has no op­ tion. In the long run, resistance would only alienate the sympathy of the world at large.- There is just one ■ thing to be done. South. It’s a thing I don’t like to suggest.” He paused, then added emphatically: “When my detail arrives here, which will prob­ ably be in three or four days, you must not be here. You must not be In any place where we can find you.” For a little while, Samson looked at the other man with a slow smile of amusement, but soon it died, and his face grew bardiand determined. ‘Tm obliged to you, Callomb,” he said, seriously. “It was more than I had the right to expect—this warning. I understand the cost of giving- it. But It’e no use. I can’t cut and run., No, by God1 you wouldn’t do it! You can’t ask me to do it." “By God, you can and will!” Callomb spoke with determination. "This isn’t a time for quibbling. You’ve got work to do. We both have work to do. We can’t stand on a matter of vainglorious pride, and let big issues of humanity go to pot We haven’t Jhe right to spend men’s lives in fighting each other, when we are the only two men in this entanglement who are In per­ fect accord—and honest.” The mountaineer spent some min­ utes in eilent self-debate. The working of his face under the play of alternat­ ing doubt, resolution, hatred and insur­ gency, told the militiaman what a struggle was progressing. At last, Samson’s eyes cleared with an expres­ sion of discovered solution. "AU right, Callomb,” he said, briefly, “you won’t find me!” He smiled, as he added: "Make as thorough a search as your duty demands. It needn’t be perfunctory or superficial. Every South cabin will stand open to you. I shall be extremely busy, to ends which you approve. I can’t tell you what I shall be doing, because to do that, I should have to tell where I mean to be.” {TO BE CONTINUED.) KODAKS DEVELOMM AU roU film s developed 10c. PrIotsfitO r> 5 cis.

Drones are usually looked upon as lazy, useless creatures. They never do any work,- but are fed by the work­ er bees on the best the hive can af­ ford, and this in a season of the year when the workers are busiest for 24 hours a day with the gathering and curing of honey. Why do the bees treat them with such respect in the busy harvest time? The reason is that the bees are raising a number of young queens at this time, for the fu­ ture generation. The queen is des­ tined to be the mother of aU the bees reared In the hive for the next year or two. She is the only one in the hive that can lay eggs, and she will some day lay them at a rate of from two to four thousand a day. The drones are the male bees raised at the same time with the queens. From their midst the virgin queen will some day select her mate. Without them she could not attain maternity, held by the bees in greatest honor. For this reason they are treated royally until the wedding trip of the queen. When she returns a widow, leaving her drone-mate (usually the most per­ sistent of all suitorB) dead In the field, the beeB make short work of the remaining drones. They seize them by the neck and throw them out of the hive bodily to die of hunger In the midst of plenty.—Francis Jaeger. KODAKS & SUPPUES We also do highest class of finishing.'

Obstacle to Enjoyment. Many of us are plenty old enough to remember the big open fireplace, the enormous amount of wood it required to keep it going, how the cord sticks had to be dug out. of thrfice and snow, how it was a struggle to get the big back log in place, how every morning the fire had . to be started over again, unless you were cunning enough In woodcraft to hide some -coals deep enough under the ashes to keep, them untU morning, how in the early hours of the bleak days the rooms of the house were so cold it required great courage or the insistent commands. of the head of the house to get up to make that fire. But this is not aU. It will be remembered also that in real weather the fire from the open side of the room baked you on one side while the other side was frozen, and all the day long the frost on the windows maintained the beauty of the formation into pictured mountains and valleys undisturbed by the heat from the burning logs.

A grand average of 25.9 miles per gal­ lon of gasoline was registered for the 70,200 miles of travel. Consider that this run took place in 234 different parts of the country, under . 234 ..different sets of conditions, over *34 dif­ ferent kinds of roads. Consider that these 234 cars were stock model -Saxon Sixes ”, not “ tuned' up ” special cars, not cars with “doped” gasoline. r " That proves that this 25.9 miles per gallon rof g&soline is the ordinary, the average performance of 234 Saxon “Sixes” taken right out of stock. And it proves as nothing else would ’ prove, the gasoline economy your Saxon ‘Six” will give you. No other car in its class dan match this record. Furthermore,-these 234 Saxon “ Sixes” averaged 175 miles per quart of oij. And not a single instance of mechanical trouble occurred throughout the entire 70,200 miles. There is the proof that Saxon “ Six” is your kind of a car. Price f. o. b. Detroit, $935.

The lumber pile turned over and fell on them. It was thought at first that the boys were seriously injured, but they soon recovered sufficient to set up, and have about recovered. StRl Doiog Witboat M ail Our town is still wagging along without any mail Service to speak of. The early morning mails is practical­ ly all we get. as there are no mail clerks on Nos. 21 and 22. The afternoon train from Winston brings a little lock pouch containing the morning Sentinel, and a' few local letters. A letter mailed at Advance at 7 o’clock this morning reaches Mocksville tomorrow about 7:30 if it has good luck. A letter mailed at Statesville early this morning is due to arrive in Mocksville about 8 a. m. tomorrow, It seems to us that this section is entitled to a little, better mail service than we are getting. We have the trains and it seems that the government could afford at least one more mail clerk on this line. OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX. EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEE. Did it ever strike you—that there are ,000,000 professing Christians of the the evangelical faiths in the United States, whose combined influence, con­ centrated on a single purpose, would be practically irresistible? That every one of the 23,000,000 Chris­ tians who prays, "The Kingdom come,” has direct individual responsibility to do all that lies within his or her power for the spiritual, moral, and material welfare of onr fellow beings? Now is the greatest, the most urgent time for service that God’s people, have ever known. No one should idle away these precious days. Break down all the barries of selfishness and sloth. Link yourself with other Christians in a chain for earnest, organized effort. No matter how smalt your influence, how obscure your station, or how slender your means, you can help to make the world a better place to live in by bringing the Christ in­to it. OUR MISSIONAY CREED. We believe in God the Father, God rhe Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe it to be our duty and our privilege to tell the story of salvation through Jesus Christ to all who do not know it. We Selieve that, if we cannot go our­selves to tell the story, we ought to give freely and cheerfuly that others may go, We believe it to be our duty to pray for all missions and missionaries in the spirit of the prayer Jesus taught us, "Thy kingdom come.” C. W. Booe, of Hopewell, Va., was in town Monday and gave us a pleasant call. Jesse Brown, of Rockingham county, arrived in town Monday for the picnic. The J. M. Summers land near Cornatzer, was re-sold Monday at public auction. Rev. Vick, of Salis­ bury, bid it off at $7,125. William Crotts left Monday for Richmond and Petersburg. V a, where he will spend about t >;oks with relatives. ' Davie Boy In France. Granville Leagons1 of near Cana, was in town one day last week and brought us a cabbage head weighing about 13 pounds. Mr. Leagans tells us that he received a letter a few days ago from his son Fred, who is a member of Uncle Sam’s infautry. Fred is in Paris, and Writes that he is getting along fine. He has been in France for a month or two. Be­ fore going over he was stationed on the Mexican Border. Estes Released Under Bond. Tom Estes, colored, of Winston- Salem, who was charged with being implicated in the attempted bank robbery of the Merchants and Farm­ ers’ Bank, of Mocksville, and who has been in jail here for some weeks, was released Thursday upon giving a bond for $400 for his appearance here as a witness. Estes was put under a $3,0000 bond by Justice Swaim, but Judge Lone decided that the bond was too heavy as the evidence against Estes was not strong. Williams To Be Electrocuted. Charlie Williams, colored, of Ire­ dell county, who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff John Miller, near Mooresville on June 3oth, convicted of murder in the first degree at Statesville Wednesday, and was senticed by Judge Cline to be elec­ trocuted in Raleigh on Sept. 14th. Williams passed through Mocksville Friday afternoon on No. 22, on his way to the penitentiary, itucharge of Deputy Sheriff Smith. Williams looks to be about 65 years of age and appears to be ignorant and un- :oncerned. The murder was one of the most brutal that has ever hap­ pened in this section. Death Of Little Child. C.

To get more Iood Is an alarming problem. How can the farms produce more Iood when labor' Is so scarce? How can more acres be planted to Iood crops or how can more work be given the acres usually planted with­ out more labor? - Increase of labor' is hardly to 'be expected, but there is one important means of help which the Southern farmer has. been utilizing in the past and that is Fertilizer. But this too fc beset with difficulties. Fertilizer can increase production without increasing labor except at harvest time. The warring nations appreciate this fact, and are giving all the encouragement they can to the use of fertilizers. The railroads can’t do the busi­ ness expected of them unless every freight car is loaded to . full ca­ pacity. To load them to full capacity the fertilizer dealer must have enough orders In to make up a full’ car load before he can reasonably hope to get a shipment The earlier the' carload orders are placed the better chance, of course, of getting a shipment. Be­ cause of the shortage of equipment, the railroads should have as much Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. C. A. Whittle. time as possible to plan for moving the fertilizer. Early orders will give them a knowledge of the number of cars that, will be needed.Government Authorities Backing It The National Council of Defense has sent out a bulletin on this very subject, urging farmers to order their fall fer­ tilizers early so full carload shipments might be made and the largest amount of human food produced. The United States Department of Agriculture through the States Re­ lations Service and Bureau of Soils; and agricultural colleges and coun­ ty agents, are advising the same. The railroads are very urgent about the matter. The fertilizer manufac­ turers are offering to help the dealers and farmers as much as possible to overcome the transportation difficul­ ties. Half Cars Can Be Saved Railway authorities have statistics to show that half of the cars ordinari­ ly used for hauling fertilizers could do the business, if only they are load­ ed to their maximum capacity. Where a full car load can not be made up for one destination, then it is to be filled with orders for neigh­ boring stations along a railroad. More Wheat and Oats From the South v IlOO SEWARD, $100.

The scant oat crop should be hus­ banded for see-1 this year. No oats are as good for planting in the South as those grown in the South, especially if they are grown in the region where they are to be planted. The same is true of wheat unless' in a given sec­ tion the best variety for that section has not yet been used. Good seed should he ordered early.

IS i IS TfHth in a Nnt Shell. It has been mentioned that cab­ bage, which sold for 12 cents a pound in the early spring can now be bought for a cent a pound; and I that potatoes that sold for the rite uf .jl a peck are dow about $1 the bushel. The reason is obvious. More gardens and truck patches I were planted than ever before, the acreage is larger, crops better cul­ tivated, the season has been good I and the market is abundantly sup plied. There are fewer pjirchas ers, too, because more townspeople cultivated gardens and bigger gar­ dens than ever before. When the campaign was' on in the early spring, urging a larger planting of foodstuff, both on ac count of the scarcity and war con­ ditions that will increase the de­ mand, some of the rural dwellers said the chief benefit would be to the town folks; that an abundant food crop meant lower prices—a loss to the producer but a great help to the consumer, and that it was obviously uufair to the produ cer. The answer to this was not to expect to market perishable pro­ ducts when the supply would be larinexcess of the demand; to grow stuff .bat could' be canned, dried, etc. The producer who of­ fered the objection .mentioned will doubtless point tq present prices as a verification ot his forecast; and the warning against the attem pt to market quantities of perishable stuff on a small market is also verified. Attention is directed to the fact that the people and newspapers whc so earnestly urged the plant ing of larger food crops in the spring, are now just as earnestly trying to urge the necessity of sav­ ing all that has been produced by canning and drying. AU sorts of efforts are being made to promote conservation and under the direc­ tion of the government and organi zation, men and women who have studied the different processes and learned the best., and easiest and cheapest methods, are offering oth- I era, without cost, the benefit of I their knowledge and experience. I Cabbage may sell for one cent I now, but it will not sell for that next winter and the only kraut on themaiket will come from New York, or some other distant point, and sell at a high price. Thathas been the experience of other wint­ ers and there is no reason to be lieve the next will be different. The potatoes now selling for $1 per bushel may not be worth $ I a peck next winter, as last, but they will sell for more tnan $1 per bush­ el, The lesson is obvious. It is not new information. Everybody knows it but so mauy of them, the great majority it would seem, iail to practice it. The consumer is glad to get stuff cheap.' Every body likes to I uy at a low price and sell at a high price. But the tensible consumer would rather pay 8- per bushel now to the home inau for potatoes than 84 to the foreigner next winter; would rath- er pay 3 or 4 cents a pound for cabbage now to the local man than 8 iolo next winterito the foreigner, but the market will run that way until the local producers get the vuusenb of their minds not only to grow the stuff but to conserve it hud, through co-operative effort, tnarket it as condition's warrant. Then they will get a fair price for their product and the consumer will get better stuff, home grown, I® fairer prices the year round, oth PrOducer and consumer will eneht and the community will P osper as a result of the' money pout at home. ‘ ii.?1?

TJntil the 26th day of last Feb­ ruary it was the law applicable to many counties in Noith Carolina that the Legislature should ap­ point members of the county boards of education. The system had proved a failure and became un­ popular wi^ji the people. Atthe date above mentioned that law was abolished and passed out into the scrap heap of condemned legisla­ tion. W hy the system waq, toler­ ated so long is hard to understand. It was part of a great political ma­ chine. The representatives would r.ecommend some old political or ward heeler who it was thought could control a tew votes and the legislature would appoint him on the board of education in order to compensate him for his skill in in­ fluencing votes. There was never any just excuse for a great state like ours to saddle upon the people such a system. It lived to the detriment of the child­ ren throughout the commonwealth. The Bystem was long out of date before it went down. IJ could not stand against the great spirit of progress and enlightenment. W hen this law was abolished one would have looked forward to something better to take its place. But instead of giving to the people of the state a system in keeping with the spirit of the times the legislature gave U6 a most undesir­ able makeshift. The new system provides that each political party shall nominate in its primary a candidate for the office of member­ ship on the board of- education. The condidates are nominated by each party. Their names are then certified by the county chairman of election up to the Secretary of State and in turn the Secretary of State tronsmits the names of the nominees to the next session of the legislature. In sending the names over, to the General Assembly, ihe law requires the Secretary of State to take care that be iuforms the General Assembly which political ,party the nominee is affiliated with. Having the names of the nominees and knowing their politics a de­ mocracy legislature proceeds.to the election of candidates for member­ ship on the board of education. No doubtabout who will be elected. The people are allowed by this law to nominate but they are de nied the right to choose. The idea is to make the boards of education democratic, regardless of the will of the people. This law is equally as bad as the old law. It deserves to be condemned by every patriotic citizen who has at heart the wel­ fare and the progress of our educa­ tional interests. -It defeats the will of the people. Ifthe people name the candidates for the boards ot education throughout the Btafe then they should not be denied the right to elect them. The educa­ tional welfare of the children should not be dealt with lightly. The new system is out of harmony with the spirit of the times. Ihe arguments justifying the enactment of .thie law are, indeed slim and slippery. It will meet with a cold reception among the people throughout the etate. Fo one will be deluded by it iu the belief that the legislature wanted to enlarge the powers of the people in this' matter. I t . was an unwarranted'attempt by poli­ ticians to compromise the demand th a t the. people be allowed ^o- elect their boards of education and the legislature compromise the matter in favor of the political machines and against the people. The edu­ cational welfare of the boys and girls of this state is of more im­ portance to the future and great­ ness of North Carolina than the distribution of patronage to hold intact a powerful political machine.

The wreck on the Charlotte W in­ ston-Salem road the other day that caused the death of t.wo men and the injury of several others is set down as the work of a wretch who deliberately drew the spikes and disabled the track so that a wreck was certain. To think that such an act could be done by a human being, if the poor wrech was hu­ man. The execution of a few spies and treasonable ones is high­ ly desirable, in fact a tew spies and treasonable ones is highly de­ sirable, in fa c t" necessary to the safety of the country. America needs just now above all things an activity of the firing squad for a few successive days. There are entirely too many persons tamper­ ing with the patience of the people and wilfully and deliberately tak­ ing the part of the tra^or.

Luring his evangelistic cam­ paign iu Boston some months ago Billy Sunday preached his famous “Booze Sermon” in which, as re­ ported in the Congregationalist, he scored a telling point in his illus­ tration from the lunacy test made in some asylums. When they want to test an inmate to see if he has recovered his reason, they put him in a room with a cement floor and faucet running and fell the patient to mop up the floor. If he trieB to do it without turning offthe faucet they decide he is still “ nutty.” That is what you ar3 trying to do wi h the saloon,” said Billy. “You are trying to mop it up with taxes j and insane asylums, and jails, and Keeiey cures and reformatories. The on­ ly thing to do is to shut off the source of supply.” —Bibical Ne- corder. THIS IS AN ENIGMATIST goftufloC. WelL and Whom have we here?

Y. , . - ; The first American soldier to go to France and return in the present war has landed at the home of his father in Elkin. Hianamc is Bascomb H. Barnette. His early return is due solely to the -efforts put forth by his parents, as the boy bad enlisted at the age of 17 years, giving his age as e8 in order to join. Young Barnette enlisted in the army on April IS, at Winston, from which place he was sent to a training in Georgia and after 18 days training there was trans- ferrsd to another camp in Texas where he was kept 31 days. They were then transferred to an American port from which place they sailed for France, this beiog the first contingent of American soldiers sent to France after war was de­ clared. The voyage occupied 13 days, the first four of which he, along with many others, were sea sick. Barnette's parents were all this time trying to get him released from service 'and after the boat had been out to sea two days a wireless message was. received to dis­ charge-him, but he was carried .to France and treated as a soldier until ten days la­ ter when he raturned with the transports. Three transports were together and m sight of each other during the entire voy­ age and they were accompanied by two battleships and three torpedo boat de­ stroyers. Barnette gives a vivid descrip­ tion of that famous submarine attack of which so much has recently been said, and which was given to the American people on July 4th for patriotic purposes It was a little past ten o’clock at night when they had been out from shore five days, when the periscope of two subma­ rines was sighted in the rear of the trans­ ports and almost between the transport and battleship coming upon the left. The lookout sounded the warning to the bat­ tleship to train guns on the left side. After the guns were trained a huge flash­ light played out over the U-boats, the giins began to boom forth, and one of the U-boats was seen to go down.. The battleship fired a total of ten shots, and it began firing in one minute after the warning signal was given from the trans­ port. No shots were fired by the subma- rine.at this time. Later in the night, however, the remaining submarine or an­ other one did run up and fired one shot at the transport on which Barnette was shipping, but it missed by 20 feet.. It was the opinion of this young advanturer and he said of menv others on the trans­ ports, that the submarines were not gath­ ered there in force for an attack on the American fleet, but rather they were run into by the fleet,. Tbesubmarinesdidnot attempt a fight at this point. After iandingataEuropean port (we are not allowed to give the place) he spent eight days on land and took part in the Fourth of July celebration in Paris. He said that 50,000 soldiers took part in the parade and as many or more of the civilian population. Nothing, he con­ tinued, was too good for the American boy in Kbaki, and they were offered all kinds of of drinks at every turn. The march thro the streets of Pairs was a wonderful sight and four hours were occupied in moving. Barnette also said the girls in Paris were all pretty and were always ready to treat the American soldiSr with every courtesy. In haying a description of the country around Paris young Barnette said all the houses in France were built of stone, brick or cement, and that no wooden buildings were seen; said the land was of dark or blue color and partly sandy but looked rich; the business buildings on an average were higher than those in New York; and that crops were looking fine. He said the utmost care was exercised’ in sanitary conditions around the camps, andthat' the feeding of soldiers was. all that could be asked for. While on the transports the meals consisted of potatoes, cabbage, etc., and beef three cimes a day. and said the food was better in the camp than while on the boats. Barnette said a French soldier, told him that a General Pershin and his troops wa£ in action 50 miles from Paris, holding the Germans back, but be not attach much to this story ’as Gen. Perisliing was supposed to be in Paris at that time. The same French soldier told hiui that the Germans bad been within 18 miles of Pairs. The main battle front.. he said, was 1,0(10 miles from Pairs. One interesting part of his story was the fact that not a single soldier knew where he was going until they had been out from tbe American port two days, when tbe captain came around pnd told them all they were on their way to France. The American boys generally took it pret­ ty well,' while some despondent. The boy said he wrote his parents that he be­lieved he. was going to betaken to France but this letter never reached home, and he thinks the camp censor threw it away, which- be no doubt did. Great care was taken at every turn to keep their? move­ ments a secret, and on the transports, battleships, etc., no lights were allowed, and no oiie' was allowd to smoke a cigaret­ te after, sundown.' Barnette is now at home with his. par­ ents at Elkih,.and says, he does nor care for any more trips., like that but admits that they were taken cafe of and fed.-but admits be became sick andicried a little While he was sen sick.—Yadkin Ripple. A New Way To Can Corn.. The Monroe Journal has learned from a preacher a new method of preserving “ rbas’n ears,” which may be new to many people but as it is new to the Journal and tho Landmark it is passed along as in­ formation. The Journal says: The canning people and the good housewives as well say that corn is the hardest thing" to “ put up” that there is. ,It requires so much cooking and careftil handling and is so subject to failue that few people try it. Now tbis thing which the Journal hears solves the problem. It is said to be the old Bowan Dutch way of keeping corn. Takeyour green corn and shave it off with a sharp knife, put one cup of salt- for every two cups of corn, and seal it up in glass jars. Simple and easy. No cooking, nor troube of any kind. Simply be careful to slice off with' a sharp knife and don’t scrape the cob. “ But it will be so salty* that it can never be eaten” ! you will say right off the bat. That is ex­ actly what we said to the man who told us, and here is what he sai&, and he is a preacher in good and regular standing and pastor of two churches: •‘When you open your jar next winter,” he said, “ all you have to do is to put the corn in water be­ tween breakfast and time for cook­ ing it for dipuer. Two waters will bring it out just as fresh and sweet as when it was cut off the cob. I ate our last some, time in March and you could not tell it from corn just brought from the fields. I have put up 16 jars this morning and have just started. I will guarntee every grain of it to keep and be ju6t as good as I say it is.” Onr preacher went on to say that the old Dutch folks, before the day of sealed glass jars, put their coru up in stone crooks with only a cloth tied over the top.— Ex. „ When . in doubt as to what to say, the wise thing to do is not to say it. Summer Complaint. During the hot weather of the summer months some member of almost, every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of greatest importance that tbis be treated promptly, which can only. be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott,'Scotsville, N. Y., states. “I first used Chamberlain's Colic . and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack ofsummer-complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved, me. .Other members of ray family have since used it with like reults." GENERAL JULIAN CARR AFTER THE “YALLER” C tfiT 0 Durham’s First Citizeg Reopetas His Campaign Against the Yellow Cimine. Durham, July 26'.—Gen. Julian S. Carr, of this city, has reopened his fight against the “yallar cur” dog—a fight that caused a state­ wide controversy, when the general was a representative from Durham county in the state legislaturt. General Carr urges the taxing of yallar cur” to such an extent that owners cannot afford to keep. He makes the appeal in the name of the Taxen-kaired kiddies, and sheep.” The General issued a pamphlet shows that dogs of - the country were fed hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Aho that the “ yallar cur” ba9 beeh re­ sponsible for the deaths of th o u ­ sands of kiddies and sheep, the General further alleges. It is eminently befitting declares'the general, at this time when the President.is calling upon everyone to save food that the *‘yallar cur” be wiped out, just the same as “ licker” is being swept aside. “ Why not undertake to put the yallar dog out of business?” I have begun to fight, as Admiral John Paul Jones said. “I have drawn my saber and thrown away scabbard ’ and sworn upon the named steel.. First, my spear shall know no brother; second,. I shall not lower my colors until the yal- l*r dog plague is put out of busi­ ness.” “Think of it.” says General Car, “ there are more dogs in Dur­ ham and less sheep than last year.’ “ Suppose for every dog in D ur­ ham county there were a sheep. How much better off our people •would be:” declares Durham’s first citizen. “ Fellow couutrymen,” says the article in eonclusioo, “ the remedy is in your hands. For God’s sake and tor humanity’s sake arise in your might and power, and re­ pudiate everything and everybody responsible for the conditions, or forever hold your peace, about the high cost ot living.” . Ask Anyone Who Has Used It. . There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrboes Remedy in the house for use In case it is needed, and find that it is not only a good investment but saves them no end of suffering. As to its reliability, ask anyone who has used it. THE NEWSPAPER BALL FAN -The man seldom comes from behind bis Paper until the Baseball season is over.

The kind of. reading Which makes for quick intelligence is reading the “signs of the times” over and above the publications of to-day. Ourcountrynowfaces its great­ est crisis. The United States is moblizing all its forces to perform a task which includes great dangers and wide potential blessings? The day of the worker has come Never before have the leaders of the country sent forth so urgent an appeal as that just now spreading through America. W henthecall comes to'us, may we respond cheerfuly and give of our time and talents in this great worki We sincerely hope every Philathea will heed the call and not only “do her bit” but "do her best,” President Wilson sa>s “we must fight out the cause of EumanLiberty arid thus prove our service ” Justnowthegreatcallfor worn en is through Red Cross work. Our Pbilatheasof North Carolina have heard the call, are helping in local Red Cross work, and are asking Vwhatfurther can we do to help?” Loud and clear comes the answer Send to France an Ambulance to be known as the Philathea ATrobulance of North Carolina, U. S. A This will cost about $1,000. We need your: assistance to accomplish this. We know we can depend on you to help. Five cents from every Philathea in the State would pro­vide funds to send tfie ambulance on its mission of mercv and service. Sunday, AugHst 19, 1917, is Phila tisea Aipbulance Day in North Caro­ lina classes. Pleaseask for contri Iputions tof this fund. tnrough your passes and from individuals on this date, and send to Mrs. N Buckner, .General Secretary. Asheville, N. C. W ehopetherewill be no delay in this important work and that none will say “that there is nothing I can do.” , _ Ten million young men registered June 5th for service in the great world war. How many of ‘them do you know? Will your son, your brother, or some dear friends be called to the colors and sent across the sea. Do this service for them and we'll soon have sufficent funds to send the North Carolina PhiIa thea Ambulance to France. Remember “ Philathea Ambulanze Day,” Sunday. August 19th, in the classes throughout the state. Please workup interest that success may crown our. efforts. * Very Sincerely. MRS. N. BUCKNFR. Generally .Secretary. THOSE WHO REMEMBERED US.

Washington.—The food admirlstra- tion announces its plan for controll- Ing wheat, flour and bread, revealing that the government is prepared- to take over the whole 1917 wheat har­ vest if necessary to conserve the sup­ ply, obtain just prices for America’s flghting forces and their allies' and re­ duce costs to the general public in the United States. • Establishing of buying agencies at all the principal terminals, licensing of elevators and mills, fixing of a price to be considered fair, regula­ tion of the middle men and of grain exchanges, with the elimination of trading In futures, are the chief fea­ tures of the plan. The minimum price of $2 for wheat fixed by Congress -does not become eifectlve until next year but the ad­ ministration proposes to exercise a very thorough control over the year’s crop through power conferred under th9 food and export control bills. The announcement follows: "The disturbance- to the world’s commerce and supplies ha9 caused a greater disruption of the normal mar­ kets for wheat than any other cereal. “I—As a resolution' of certain of the world’s .wheat producing coun­ tries, by either belligerent lines or short shipping, the normal determina­ tion of the price of wheat by the ebb and flow of commerce is totally de­ stroyed. “2—In order to control specula­ tion and to secure more equitable, distribution. of the available wheat and flour between their countries,-the allied governments have placed the whole purchase of their supplies in the hands of one buyer. Also the European neutrals are new buying their wheat through single govern­ ment agents instead of in the nor­ mal course of commerce. Therefore, the export price of wheat, and flour, and thus the real price, if not con­ trolled will be' subject to almost a single will of the foreign purchaser. “3—In normal times American wheat moves lsmgely to Europe in the fall months. This year, the short­ age of shipping necessitates its dis­ tribution over the entire year. There­ fore, there is danger of a glut in our warehouse system over a considera­ ble period. ’"4—There sire large stocks of wheat which cannot be drawn upon by the allies during the war, but in the event of peace or defeat of the sub­ marines these would be available and might seriously demoralize the de­ mand for American wheat. “5—It must be clearly understood that the guaranteed minimum price of $2 per bushel for wheat, set out - in the food bill, does not apply to'the’ 1917 harvest but only to the 1918 harvest and then 'under conditions which must be elaborated. There, is, therefore, no determined price for the 1917 harvest. WILL CALL UNDER ARMS ABOUT 75,000 SOLDIERS NOW WAIT* ING FOR ORDERS. RUSSU " NEWEST OF DEMOCRACIES IS GAINING IN-. PURPOSE NEEDS HELP. BUT NOW P B E P iIS fi REEULATiONS COMMISSION MAKES REPORT FIRST AMERICAN PRISONERS ARE TAKEN BY GERMANS Submarine Sinks Ship and Takes Five Prisoners, Five Americans are prisoners aboard a German submarine, the navy department believes. Four of these probably are the first prisoners of the American fighting force taken by the Germans. The captain of the American steam­ er Campana and four members of the armed guard were taken from -the steamer when she was sunk by a Ger­ man submarine August 6, 140. miles west of He de Re, off the coast of France. Forty-seven survivors of the steamer, which was . a Standard .Oil tanker, have been landed safetly. Unfavorable weather is again hamp- pering large scale operations .in Flan­ ders, but in southern Moldavia the desperate fighting between the Russo- Rumanians and the Teutons con­ tinues with increasing ferocity. Field Marshal von Mackenken is using strong forces in an endeavor to break through the entente line toward the railroad junction of Tecuchiu. The Russians and Rumanians are resist- inS valiantly the numerically supe­ rior enemy, but have been forced to give up, at least temporarily,* their Positions along the railroad line north of Fokshant. german air raid kills more women and children London.—Twenty-three persons in­ cluding nine women and six children were killed and fifty persons were in­ jured at South End in Essex, forty ones east of London, by bombs drop­ ped by German raiders, says an of- 1 statement. Considerable dam- agae to property was caused at -.South “ by the nearly forty bombs'drop- ? “pon the town. Two men were in- iured at Rochford. Third Element of Army Composed of 500,000 Men.—:Assigning Drafted Men.—District Quotas May Be Chll- ed as Needed. Washington. -Provost Marshal Gen­ eral Crowder is at work on the final set of regulations to be promulgated within a few days to complete the or­ ganization of the selective draft war army. They will' govern actual mob- ilization of the men selected. Prelim­ inary figures issued by the war depart­ ment place -the total force of national guard -taken into the federal service Vugust 5, at 13,093 officers and 419,834 taen. Another statement showed 180,- 766 war volunteers have been recruit­ ed for the regular service since April I, leaving about 2,000 vacancies in the regulars at war strength. These figures mean that approxi­ mately 725,000 men are now under arms, exclusive of the navy and ma­ rine corps, to be supplemented with­ in the next few weeks by G87.000 rais­ ed under the draft bill. Of the lat­ ter about 500,000- will compose the third element of the war army, the new national army and the remaining will go to fill up the regulair and .the guard and -their reserves. The mobilization regulations will show how the.drafted men are to be assigned. Already the war depart­ ment has received countless applica­ tions from men certain to be called in the first increment of the draft forces for assignment to some particular arm or branch of the service. It is probable that some effort will be made to meet the wishes of the drafted men In .this regard as far as possible when they are mobilized.

Washington.—Russia, newest of de­ mocracies, grows stronger of heart and purpose daily and with aid from the United States, can be depended upon to do her part in the great war and emerge a powerful state: This was the message brought to Presi­ dent Wilson and Secretary Laansing by. Elihu Root and his fellow mem­ bers of the American mission sent to Russia three months ago. Unqualified encouragement from the United States, moral and finan­ cial when necessary, is absolutely es­ sential to keeping life in the new gov­ ernment, the commissioners agreed.

Urges Speed In Inquiries to Determine Cost of Matrials. Washington. — President Wilson turned his attention to the subject of war prices and paid a personal visit to the federal trade commission to urge expedition of investigations to ascertain the cost of producing mater­ ials required by tbe government. .At the President’s direction the commis­ sion has undertaken inquiries to de­ termine production costs on most of the basic supplies needed for war uses, including coal, coke, steel, iron, petroleum, tin, aluminum, wire, zinc, copper, lead, cement, lumber and their deliveries: Announcement of a definite policy respecting war purchases and prices probably will be made soon. Admin­ istration officials generally already have rather clearly defined ideas as to the course the government will pur-, sue. War profits will be kept to a minimum and if producers and manu­ facturers evince any great unwilling­ ness to supply the country's war needs at reasonable prices the government’s power to commandeer materials will be invoked.- The administration hopes that will not become necessary. The biggest problem now occupy tng officials studying the subject of war prices is protection for the gen­ eral public. Although the proposaal is meeting determined opposition the ad­ ministration intends that the allies shall share with htis government in reduced costs for supplies. .This is easy of accomplishment, since the American government, ,i,f negotiations with producers fail to - produce the desired results, can go into' the market and itself buy fcr its associates. . told, Russia will emerge triumphant and strong but if either by .great j masses of troops or clever propa­ ganda, Germany should accomplish the overthrow of the Kerensky gov­ ernment the outlook would be dark indeed. Only one written report, it is under- ‘ stood, ,was submitted to Secretary ,Lansing. It was'not made public and j may not be. From high sources, it is known, ,however, that the commis- . sion was agreed .on virtually all es­ sentials. There may have been dif­ ferences of opinion as to the best methods for obtaining results but the opinion of present conditions and high- hopes for the future was unanimous. None was stronger in his convic­ tion that there is the greatest hope I for Russia than Mr. Root himself, j Though conservative by virtue of long , diplomatic and political experience it I was with difficulty that he suppressed I his enthusiasm. Other members of : the party who-share ,his optimism and • discussed their views were Charles Edward Russell, a former Socialist, James Duncan, a labor leader, - andMajui autnioy -wasuuatn,- 'a uiau vu. I long experience In Russian affairs. I The latter two were agreed that one great need of Russia is publicity re­ garding America’s Intention in the war. J Mr. Russell went a little farther than the others by declaring emphat­ ically in favor of sending. American troops to Hie eastern front immediate­ ly. He said their presence would be of the greatest value In strengthen­ ing the morals of the Russians. The military members of the mis­ sion, headed by Major General Hugh i Scott, had a thrilling story to tell of experiences on the Russian firing line. They were under fire during one of the .great offensives launched after the new government took the reins. Soldiersf-Sailors and Marines Will Be Allowed Insurance on Their Lives During War in Sums of $1,- 000 to $10,000 at 8 Per Thousand. Washington.—The administration’s program for insuring soldiers, sailors and marines was placed before Con­ gress in identical bills introduced by Senator Simmons and. Representa­ tive Alexander. Committee hearings will be held soon and the measure probably taken up as soon as the war tax bill has been disposed of. In its- general feature the insurance program varies but IitUe from pre­ viously announced outlines, the chief innovation being the proposal to com­ pel men and officers to allot a mini­ mum of $15 a month out of their pay .to dependent wives and children. The. bill proposes to vest in the war and navy departmente authority to com­ pel, such payments. Authority also is proposed v to’ compel the men to be insured "to deposit ,at four per cent interest, with the government and at the discretion' of the war and navy departments so much of their pay as is represented by the difference be­ tween the $15 family allotment and half their regular pay. Provision is made for the payment of government allowances to families of men in the armed forces. The pro­ posed allowances vary between $5 and $50 monthly, according to the circum­ stances of the dependents and would be In addition to the sum allotted under the compulsory allotment fea­ ture of the bill. Indemnities for partial and total disability would vary from a minimum of $40 a month , for privates up to $200 for higher officers. The edu­ cation of injured men In vocations by which they could eai*n a liveli­ hood also is provided for. Under the bill, soldiers, sailors and marines would be enabled to obtain insurance on their lives during the war in sums from $1,000 - to $10,000, the government taking the risk and Uie Uleil Pajuuli .me JUacmPim;,. -Therate would be approximately $8 per $1,000 of insurance and the premiums would be .payable by installments out of pay.

Oklahoma City, Okla.—Confidence that a majority of the residents of central Oklahoma are loyal to the United States and willing to do mili­ tary service despite organized resis­ tance to the draft on the part of a few was- expressed by Governor Wil­ liams, in commenting on the fact that normal conditions virtually have been restored in the counties where three •men have been killed in the efforts oi posses' to quell* draft* opposition. Decrease in Wheat Shown By Govern­ ment Report. ' Washington.—A corn crop surpas­ sing any ever grown before; a reduc­ tion In wheat prospects, due to dam­ age, to the spring wheat crop, and re- I cord crops of barley, rye, white and I sweet potatoes, tobacco and hay were j forecast , in the August crop report of I the department of agriculture, j Corn production was placed at 8,- 1197,000,000 bushels, an increase of 67,- 1000,000 bushels over the July fore­ cast and 68,000,000 bushels above the record crop of 1912. The showing is due to vast improvement in the grow­ ing corn In .Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri: . - Spring wheat production, -forecast In July at 276,000,000 bushels, show­ ed the results of adverse weather con­ ditions. The prospects are put at 236.019.000 bushels, a drop, of-about 40,000,000 bushels from -the Jiily I report. . Winter wheat, however, is. turning out better than previously forecast with a forecast total of 417,000,000 bushels or 15,00j0,000 bushels, more than indicated from July conditions. The combined yield of winter and spring wheat therefore show a re­ duction of 25,000,000 bushels from the production forecast in July! Potatoes are expected to yield 467,- 000,000 bushels, or 15,000,000 bush­ els more than forecast from July con­ ditions and1 47,000,000 bushels more than the-record crop of 1912. -Sweet potatoes also will be a record with 86.400.000 bushels. There will be an enormous crop of tobacco, almost 129,000,000 pounds larger than the record production of last-year. The buckwheat crop will be th^ largest In many years, and oats will come close to equaling the rec­ ord made in 1915,. In Sympathy for GoetKaIs-New Heads to Choose Associates. Washington.—The entire legal staff of the mergency fleet corporation has quit in a body because of sympathy I tis said, with Major General Goeth- als, whose resignation as general manager of the corporation was ac­ cepted recently by President Wilson. On the staff are some of the coun­ try’s best known lawyers. They are George Rublee, a former member of the 'federal trade commission; Joseph P. Cotton; George H. Savage and Charles P. Rowland of New York and Edward B. Burling of Chicago. AU- except Mr. Savage were serving with­ out pay. The attorneys resigned several days ago, but their action became known only today. Officials of the fleet cor­ poration admitted that, they had left, but refused to offer an explanation. It was learned the lawyers felt they should go out with General Goethals and that Rear Admiral Capps should be left free to choose his own asso­ ciates. The staff has’ held on since General Goethals left, it is under­ stood, only because its members de­ sired to give the new management all the information they could concern­ ing legal questions considered by the old organization. When the places of the attorneys are-filled and one more member Is named for th shipping board the reorganization of the. board and the corporation will have been completed. CLEVELAND’S WAR MARKET FAR UNDERSELLS GROCERS New Order Issued By Department Re­ lieving AU CoKimanders of That Duty.—Supervision of Training to Devolve on the Division Officers. An announcement that will be re­ ceived with a great deal of interest and no inconsiderable disappointment, particularly throughout the south, is that making it known that Maj. Ger.. Leonard Wood, now commander of the department of the southeast and the ranking officer of the United States army, will have nothing to do with the training of the hundreds of thousands of young men to be sent to the train­ ing camps in his department;. And juBt as General Wood .will.be relieved of any connection' with the training of the men, so will the other department commanders be relieved of that responsibility, and the duty ot supervising the training of the. great number of young men to make up the army being prepared for the war with Germany will rest upon division com­ manders, of-whom there will be scores and who are yet unnamed. This is due to an order recently is- sued by the' war department, which, up to this time, has not been pub­ lished, .taking the duty of supervising the training of the men at the va­ rious camps away from the depart­ ment commanders and placing it with the division or camp commanders, who will be at the various training camps. Therefore, with the arrival of troops at a camp In any of the de­ partments, the responsibility of the commander of that department for the discipline at that camp, its rules, regulations, or any connection what­ ever with the camp will cease except, ot course, that he will continue to be commander of the department, but that- department headquaretrs will be­ come really little more than a supply depot; storeroom, or quartermaster’s depot. And, as is General Wood relieved of this responsibility In the department of the southeast so art the other de­ partment commanders, Generals Bell, — O h rI f h f t A fJ lA P Q W llOare the highest officers in the regln Iar army.

Oklahoma City, Okla. — Without waiting tor a conclusion of the state’s campaign against organized resistance to the selective draft In central Okla­ homa, the United States government moved to punish the 200 men under ar­ rest- In connection with armed, opposi­ tion to military . service. Warrants charging treason were' served on the prisoners vho were taken to the pen­ itentiary at McAlester or the jail at .Muskogee to await trial at which Uni­ ted States District Attorney McGinnis will ask that the death penalty be im- imposed.. ' Announcement that extreme punish­ ment would be asked was expected to aid materially In bringing to terms the few resissters still sheltered in the hills. Posses In three counties— Seminole, Hughes and Pottawatomie— reported that isolated groups refused to surrender, but that they apparently were discouraged and seeking to avoid an encounter. Determination of the possemen to run down all of the leaders was strengthened by confiscation of half a freight car of dynamite which had been run on a siding southeast of Sasakwa In Seminole county.. An in­ vestigation is being made to establish ownership. Clashes between the resisters and posses, have cost tliree lives and,nu­ merous injuries. Two objectors to the draft have been killed and a traveler was shot when he failed to heed a p o s s e ’ s warning to halt. MONEY CIRCULATING HAS REACHED RECORD AMOUNT .

OR ADDITIONS TO SUCH STRUCTURES. IiiiiPJirciiES from raleigh Doing* and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, 'Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Insurance Commisstoner James R. • young in an interview attacked the policy employed in some counties and cities in the state of constructing ad­ ditions. to school buildings already un­ safe, ,when the lack of ready money would prevent the erection of a new building. "I must admit that it puzzles me to understand why people will persist In erecting unsafe buildings. Is it from Jack of thought or is it purely because of the habit? It cannot be to save a few . dollars in the construction cost tys this will be more than made up in a few years in insurance and upkeep cost. "It is indeed poor policy to erect buildings-liable to burn by reason of their construction but nothing less than criminal to erect, buildings that are a menace to the lives of their oc­ cupants. Take as an’ example our school buildings. Certainly .they should be made safe for our children. "School disasters, involving the death of many children are occurring from time to -time all over our country. Fortunately so far none have occurred in our state. But fathers and mothers In North Carolina note the fact that the loss of lives in school buildings have occurred in the class of buildings to which the best buildings in our state, excepting possibly less than a dozen, belong. Is this not a sufficient warning to you and your school of­ ficers? "Under the plea of lack of money, not only unsafe school buildings are being erected, and safe ones can be ereoted for the same money, but ad­ ditional rooms are being added to buildings - admittedly unsafe. Is it good business judgment or even hu­ mane to make places in unsafe build­ ings tor more children rather than make the buildings safe for those that forced by a demand of the parents? Are onr parents willing to take the risk? Not it .they realize Fhat they are doing. .Lot the first money spent on an, unsafe school building be used to make ■ it safe, for the children who are to occupy, it. “The law of North Carolina requires the insurance commissioner to pass oh the safety of all school buildings. He is unwilling to carry the load of re­ sponsibility without doing all in his power to make these buildings safe and warn the people. The use of Are escapes and Are drills will give only a small per cent of safety. Pull safe­ ty and its protection for children must be sought In the construction of the buildings." 8tate M ust Increase Wheat. It has been estimated that North Carolina needs 13,000,000 bushels of wheat for -food. The normal crop .pro­ duced In the State amounts to about 10,000,000 bushels, and from this it may.be seen that it is necessary for the state to produce 3,000,000 bushels more in order to make enough for our bread. With a good price assured for wheat during the coming year, and with the Imperative necessity of there being a good supply on band, all available land should be planted this fall over all the western and Bied- mbnt sections of the state. .According to Mr. C. B. Williams, chief of the Division of Agronomy, wheat will be a safe and profitable - crop for the coming year. If this in­ creased acreage is to be put in, how­ ever, it should b% remembered that a well-prepared seed-bed pays, iand that deep plowing will increase the yield Special pains should be taken to plot* and harrow the land until the soil is In a good friable condition before-the seed are planted.. Now is the time to begin making plans for securing the Beed wheat It win be high and scarce later on. North Carolina can produce enough .bread to feed herself by observing six main factors: By planting more Wheat this fail; by Securing7^ o d seed of the best varieties now; by prepar­ ing the ground early and thoroughly; by treating the seed for smut; by using farm manures'and the right Tdnds of fertilizer, and by planting sufficiently e*>riy. 8hou)d Publish Exemption Claims. -The^ipretfs; of 'tbe' state - will be -de- pended On largely by the Provogt BJar- shal Qeneral in bringing to light -aity cases In which exemptions are improp­ erly secured by registrants. In tele­ graphic instructions to Governor Btek- 8ft it is made plain it£at the boards should inform ■ the public of the grounds upon which exemptions or discharge are asking by registered men. lTHfe order reads: • “The namee fit till registered men are on a list arranged In the order in which they will be called for military setvice. Wherever any registered person im^oe<ei8 upon a local -board and improperly secured a certificate of exemption or discharge he ad­ vances the time of call of all other dn'cailed personsof thfe ifst. For 'this reason every registered person and, to some extent, every person in the com­ munity is more or-less directly inter-' ested in seeing that the true facts are brought to the attention of the gov­ ernment Por every local board, a person will be designated who will re­ ceive information of such caseB and ake appeal to the district board or nform the local board. For this reason the public is enitled to .know the grounds upon which claims for exemp­ tion or discharge are being asked by registered men. Local boards should therefore be instructed Immediately to make available to the press from day to day the names of persons claiming exemption or discharge, the ground: on which such claims are based and In general the number of cases that are being disposed of by the boards from day to day. This instruction does not apply, of course, to discharges on the ground of physical disqualifications.” Blooded Cattle Brought to State. Sixty-five purbred Jersey and Hol­ stein cattle, • representing a purchase price of over $10,000, were bought by North Carolina fanners through the Animal Industry Division of he N. C. Agricultural Extension Service during the past month. Mrs. A. J. Reed, of the Office of Dairy Farming, was auth­ orized by these farmers and associa­ tions to make the purchases when on recent ‘trip to the purebred cattle centers of Ohio and surrounding states. The cattle are a .distinct addi­ tion to Uxe purebred roster of the state. Not one of them are from dams that did not average at least 525 pounds of butter fat per year. The average fat production of the average North Carolina cow is only 150 pounds per' year. When a dairy­ man has a cow that produces 360 peunds he considers her a good ani­ mal. Prom this tt is not to be infer­ red, however, that all of the Jerseys brought In will produce 500 pounds of fat, but they will be a distinct im­ provement over Oie old ecrub tvne.‘ ,,i4* cmov wcowuto 'XXiv CtIQtGr of purebred live stock production from whioh later on good animals for fam­ ily cows may be obtained.

The Oven - Method.— This is one which ’is simple and after the method Is understood, very easy to perform. A sheet of absorbent paper is put into the bottom of the oven, or lacking that the oven rack may be put on the bot­ tom and the Jars placed In a dripping ,pan wltb a little water In it, enough to send up steam all the time they are cooking.

In two days, the grand jury, with much secrecy, returned a true bill, and a day later a considerable detachment of Infantry started on a dusty hike up Misery. Furtive and inscrutable Holl- rnan eyes along the way watched them from cabin doors, and counted them. They meant also to count them coming back, and they did not expect the totals to tally. Back of an iron spiked fence, and a du6ty sunburned lawn, the barrack-like facades of the old administration building and Kentucky - state capitol frowned on the street and railroad track. About it, on two sides of the Kentucky river, sprawled the town of Frankfort; sleepy, more or less dishev­ eled at the center, and stretching to shaded environs of colonial houses set in lawns of rich bluegrass, amid the shade of forest trees. Circling the town in an embrace of-quiet beauty rose the Kentucky river hills. Turning in to the gate ot the state- house enclosure, a man, who seemed to be an easterner by the cut of his clothes, walked slowly up the brick walk, and passed around the fountain at the front of the capitol. His steps carried him direct to the main en­ trance of the administration building, and. having paused a moment in the rotunda, he entered the secretary’s of­ fice of the executive suite, and asked ior an interview with the governor. • Have you an appointment?” the sec­ retary asked. The visitor shook his head. Scrib­ bling a brief note on a slip of paper, he inclosed it Sn an envelope and handed it to his questioner. Ic ou must pardon my seeming mys- teriousness,” he said, “but if you let me send in that note I think the gov­ ernor will see me.” Once more the secretary studied his man with a slightly puzzled air, then nodded and went through the door that gave admission to the executive’s of­ fice. I His excellency opened the envelope and his face showed an expression of surprise. He raised his brows question- ingly. I Rough-looking sort?” he Inquired. •Mountaineer?” No, sir. New Yorker would be my gueBs. Is there anything suspicious?” I guess not.” The governor laughed. ■ Rather extraordinary • note, but send him in.” Through his eastern window the governor gazed off across the hills of South Frankfort, to the ribbon of river that came down from the troublesome hills. Then, hearing a movement at his back, he turned,' and hiB eyes took in a well-dressed figure with confidence- inspiring features. He picked up the slip from his desk and, for a moment, stood comparing the name and the message with.the man who had sent them in. There seemed to be in his mind some irrecon­ cilable contradiction between the two. IVith a slightly frowning seriousness the executive suggested: This note says that you are Samson South and that you want to see me twth reference to a pardon. Whose pardon is it, Mr. South.” -■ . . My own, sir.” The governor raised his brows slightly. Your pardon for what? The news­ papers do not even report that you have yet been indicted.” He Bhaded the word "yet” with a slight emphasis. “I think I have been indicted within the past day or two. I’m not sure my­ self.” The governor continued to stare. The impression he had. formed of the "Wildcat” from press dispatches, was warring with the pleasing personal presence of this visitor. Then his fore-, head wrinkled under his black hair and his lips drew themselves sternly. • “You have come to me too soon,- sir’’ he said curtly. “The pardoning power is a thing, to be most Cautiouaiy used at all times, and certainly never until the courts have acted. A case not yet adjudicated cannot addressitsel! to ex­ ecutive clemency.” Samson nodded. “Quite true,” he admitted. "It I an­ nounced that I had come on the matter of a pardon, it was largely that I had to state some business and that seemed the briefest way of putting it.” ‘Then there is something else?” “Yes. If it were only a plea for clemency I should 'expect the matter to be chiefly important to myself,.'; In" Point of fact, I hope to make it equally interesting to you. Whether you give me a pardon In a fashion which vio­ lates all precedent, or whether I sur­ render myself and go back to a. trial Which will be merely a form of assas­ sination rests entirely with you, sir. You will not find me insistent” Then Samson launched into the story of his desires and the details of conditions which outside -influences “kd been powerless to remedy—be­ cause they were outside influences, ome man of sufficient vigor and com­ prehension, acting from the center of disturbance, must be armed with the power to .undertake tha.houseffieaning, and for a while must do work that would not be pretty. As far as he was personally concerned, 'a -pardon after trial would be a matter of purely aca­ demic interest. He could not expect to survive a trial. He was at present able to hold the Souths in leash. If the governor was not of that mind he was now .ready to” surrender himself and permit matters to take their course. ,-“And now, Mr. South,” suggested the governor, after, a-half-hour Of ab­ sorbed listening, “there is she point you have overlooked. • Since in Oie end the whole thing comes back to the ex­ ercise of the pardoning power, it is after all-the crux. of. the situation. You may be able to render such services Bh those for which you volunteer. Let us for the moment assume that to be true. You have not yet told me a very im­ portant thing. Did you or did you not kill Purvy and Hollis?” “I killed Hollis,” said Samson, as though he were answering a question as to the time of day, “and I did not kill Purvy.” “Kindly,” suggested the governor, “give me the full particulars of that affair." The two were still closeted when a second visitor called and was told that his excellency could not be . disturbed. The second visitor, however, was so in­ sistent that the secretary finally con­ sented to take in the card. After a glance at it his chief ordered admis­ sion. . The door opened and Captain Cal- Iomb entered. He was now in civilian clothes, with portentous news written on his face. He paused in annoyance at the sight of a second figure standing with back turned at . the window. Then Samsoh wheeled'and the tw.o..men rec­ ognized each other. They had met be­ fore only when one was in olive drab; the other in jeans and butternut. At recognition -Callomb’s face fell and grew troubled. “You here, South!” he exclaimed. “I .thought you promised me that I shouldn’t find you. God knows I didn’t want to meet , you.” “Nor I you,” Samson spoke slowly. “I supposed you’d be raking the hills.” Neither of them was for the moment paying the least attention to the gov­ ernor, who stood quietly looking on. “I sent Merriweather out there,” explained Callomb, impatiently. “I wanted to come here before it was ■ too late. God knows, South, I wouldn’t have had , this meet­ ing occur for anything under heaven. It leaves me no choice. You are indicted on two .counts, each charg­ ing you with murder.’’ The officer took a step tqwgrd the center of the room. His face was weary, and his eyes wore the deep disgust and fatigue that come from the necessity of performing a hard duty."'”' • - - “You are under arrest,” he added quietly, but his'composure broke as he 6tormed. “Now, by God. I’ve got to take you back 'and let them murder you, and you’re the man who might have been useful to the state.” CHAPTER XVI. The governor had been more influ­ enced by watching the two as they talked than by what he had'heard. - “It seems to me, gentleman,” he sug­ gested quietly, “that you are both over­ looking my presence;” -He turned to Callomb. “Your coming, Sid, unless it was pre­ arranged between the two of you (which, since I know you, T know was not the case) has shed more light on this matter than the testimony of a dozen witnesses. After all, I’m still the governor.” The militiaman seemed to have for­ gotten the existence of his distin­ guished kinsman, and, at the voice, his eyes came away from the face of the man he had not wanted to capture, and he shook hiB head. “You are merely the head of the ex­ ecutive branch,” he said. “You are as helpless here as I am. Neither of us can interfere with the judicial gentry, though we may know that they stink to high heaven with the stench of blood. After a conviction, you can pardon, but a pardon won’t help the dead. I don’t see that you can do much of anything, Crit.” “I don’t know yet what I can do, but I can tell you I’m going to do some­ thing," said the governor. "You can just begin watching me. In the mean­ time, I believe I am commander-in- chief of the state troops.” “And I am captain of 1F company, but all I can do Is to obey the orders of a bunch of Bofgias.” “As your superior officer,”- Bmiled the governor, ‘‘I can give you orders. I’m going to give you L one now. Mr. South has applied to me for a pardon in advance of trial. Technically, I have the power to grant that request Moral­ ly, I doubt my right Certainly, I shall not do it without a very thorough sift­ ing: of'evidence and grave considera­ tion of the necessities of the case— as well as the danger of the precedent. However, I am considering it and for the present you will parole your.pris­ oner in my -custody. Mr. South, you, will not leave Frankfort without my permission.- YOU- will take every' pre-. caution to conceal your actual identity. You will treat as utterly confidential all that h as transpired here—and, above all, you . will not let newspaper, men discover you. Those are my or-. derB. Report here tomorrow after­ noon, and remember, that-you are nly prisoner.” Samsoh bowed andTefr the.frvo cou­ sins‘together, where shortly- they were joined by the attorney general. That evening, the. three dined at .theexecu- tive mansion, and isat untU midnight, in the governor’?' priyate\office, • stni deep In’discussion. DuHng Lthe long session, Callomb opened the bulky vol­ ume of the Kentucky statutes, and laid his finger on section 2073 There’s the rub,”-he protested, read­ ing aloud: “ ‘.The military shall be at all times; and in all. cases,. In strict subordination to the civil power.’” The governor glanced down to the next paragraph and read in part: Thp governor may - direct the com­ manding officer, of the military, force f° rePort to any, one of the-following- named officers of the district? in which the said force is employed: Mayor of a,city, sheriff, jailer or marshal.’" ’!Which list,’!, stormed. Callomb, "is the honor roll of the assassins.” . “At all .events’—the 'governor had derived from Cailomb much' informa­ tion as to Samson ROUth which' the mountaineer himself had modestly withheld—"South: gets -his- pardon.. That is only a step. . I wish I could' make him satrap over his'province, and provide him with troops to rule it Unfortunately, our form of-'-govern­ ment has its drawbacks.” - "It might be possible,” ventured the attorney general, “to Impeach the sheriff, and appoint this or some other suitable man to fill the vacancy until the next election." “The legislature doesn’t meet'until next winter,” objected Callomb. “There is one chance. The sheriff down there is a sick man. Let ub hope he may die.” One .day, the Hixon cdnclave met in the room over Hoilman’s Mammoth Department store, and with much pro­ fanity read a communication from Frankfort, announcing the pardon of Samson South. In that episode, they foresaw the beginning of .the end for their dynasty. The outside world was looking on, and their regime could not. survive the spotlight of law-loving scrutiny. ’.‘The fust thing,” declared Judge Hollman, curtly, “is to get rid of these damned soldiers. WeTl attend to our own business later, and we don’t want them watchln’ us. Just now, we want to lie mighty quiet for a spell—tee- totally quiet until I pass the word.” Samson had won back the confi­ dence of hie tribe, and enlisted the faith of the state administration. He had been authorized to organize a local militia company, and .to drill them, provided be could stand answer­ able for their conduct. The younger Souths took gleefully to that idea. The mountain boy makes a good soldier, once he has grasped the idea of dis­ cipline. For ten weeks, they drilled daily in squads and weekly In platoons. Then, the fortuitous came to pass. Sheriff Forbin died, leaving behind him an unexpired term of two years, and Samson, was summoned hastily to Frankfort He returned, bearing his commission as high sheriff, though, when the news reached Hixon, there were few men. who • envied him his post, and none who cared .to bet that he would live to take his oath, of office. . That August court day was a mem­ orable one In Hixon. Samson South was coming to town -to take up his duties. Every one recognized it as the day of final issue, and one that .could hardly pass without bloodshed. The Hollmans, standing In their last trench,' saw only the blunt question of Hollman-South supremacy. For years, the feud had flared and slept and broken- again into eruptions; but never before had a Sohth sought to throw his outposts of power across the wa­ ters of Crippleshim and into the coun­ ty -seat.' That the present South came bearing commission as an officer of the law only made his effrontery the niore unendurable. Samson had hot called for outside troops. The drilling and ,disciplining of his own company had progressed in silence along the waters of Misery. They were a Blouching, unmilitary band of uniformed vagabonds, but they were longing to fight, and Callomb had been with them, tirelessly whipping them into rudimentary shape. After all, they were as much partisans as they had been before they were Issued state rifles. The battle, if it came, would be as factional as the .fight of 25 years ago, when the Hollmans held the store and the Souths the court­ house. But back of all that lay one es­ sential difference, and it was. this dif­ ference that had urged the governor to stretch the forms of law and. put such dangerous power into the hands of one man. That difference was the man himself. He was -to take drastic steps, but he was to toke them under the forma, of law. and the, state execu­ tive believed; that, having gone through worse to better, he would maintain the improved condition. Early that morning, men began to assemble along the. afreets, of Hixon; and -to congregate into stolen Clumps with set faces that denoted a grim, unsmiling determination. Eot only the Holimans-from the town and immedi­ ate neighborhood were there, but their shaggier, fiercer brethren from, remote creeks and covers, who came only at urgent call, and did not come without intent of vindicating their presence. Old Jake Hollman, from "over yon” on' the -headwaters of Dryhole creek, brought his son and fourteen-year-old grandson, and all of them carried. Win­ chesters. Long before the hour for the ; courthouse-bell to sound the call which would bring, matters to a crisis, women disappeared, from.the streets, and front shutters and doors closed themselves. At last, the Souths began .to, iifle in by half-dozens, and to hitch their horses at the racks, they also fell1 Into -groups well apart. The two factions eyed each other somberly, sometimes - nodding or exchanging greetings, for the time had -not yet come to fight Slowly, however, the HoDmans began centering aboiit' the •courthouse. They swarmed in the yard, and.entered the empty .jail; and overran tiie halls oand offices of the -building Itself. The Souths, now com­ ing In a solid stream, flowed with equal unanimity to McEwer’s hotel, .near the square, and disappeared in­ side. Besides their rifles, they carried saddlebags, but not one of the uni­ forms which some of these bagB con­ tained, nor one of the cartridge belts, had yet been exposed to view. Stores opened, but only for a desul­ tory pretense of business. Horsemm> •efl their mounts away from the more public racks, and tethered them to bgck fences and willow branches In the shelter of the river banks, where stray bullets -would.not find them. The dawn .thfit jnoming had still been, gray when Shmspn South arid Captain Callomb had passed the MU- Ier cabin. Cailomb had ridden slowly on around the iurfi of. the road, and waited a quarter of a mile away. He was to command the militia that day, if the high sheriff should call upon Him. Samson went In and knocked, and instantly to the cabin door Came' Saliy’s slender, fluttering figure. She put both arms about hiin, and her eyes, as she !poked into his face, were terri­ fied, but tearless. . “I'm frightened, Samson,” she whis­ pered. "God knows I’m going to be praying all this day,” “Sally,” he said, softly, “I’m coming back to you—but, if I don’t”—he held her very close—"Uncle Spicer has my will. The farm is full of coal, and days are coming when roads will take it out, and every ridge will glow with coke furnaces. That farm will make you rich, if we win today’s fight.” "Don’t!” she cried, with a sudden gasp. “Don’t talk like that.” “I must,” he said, gently. “I want you to make me a promise, Sally.” , “It’s made,” she declared. . “if by any chance I should not come back, I want you. to hold Uncle Spicer and old Wile McCager to their pledge. They must not privately avenge me. They must still stand for the Taw, I want you, and this is most important of all, to leave these mountains—” Her hands tightened on his shoulder. "Not that, Samson," she pleaded; “not these mountains where we’ve been together.” “You promised. I want you to go to the Lescotte in New York. In a year. He Held Her Very Close. . you can come back—if you want to? but you must promise that.” “I promise,” she'reluctantly yielded. It was half-past nine o’clock when Samson South and Sidney Callomb rode' side by side into Hixon from the east. A dozen of the older Souths, who had not become soldiers, met them there, and, with no word,'sepa­ rated to close about them in a circle of protection. As Callomb’s eyes swept the almost deserted streets, so silent that the strident switching of a freight train could be heard down at the edge of town, he shook his head. As he met the sullen glances of the gathering in the courthouse yard, he turnedto Sam­ son. - "They’ll fight,” he said, briefly. Samson nodded. “I don’t understand the method,” de­ murred the officer, with perplexity. “Why don’t they shoot you at ,once. What arc they waiting for?” “They want to see,” Samson assured him, “what tack I mean to take. They want to let the thing play itself out They're, inquisitive—and they’re cau­ tious, because now they are bucking the state and. the. world.” Smnson with his escort rode up to the courthouse door and dismounted. He was for the moment, unarmed and his men walked on each side of him, while the onlooking Hollmans stood back In surly silence to let him pass. In the office of the county judge Sam­ son said briefly: “I want to get my deputies, sworn In.” “We’ve got plenty of deputy sher­ iffs,” was the quietly insolent rejoin­ der. “Not now—we haven’t any.” Sam­ son’s voice was sharply incisive. ‘TH name my own assistants." “What’s the matter with these boys?” The county judge waved his hand toward two hold-over deputies. “They’re fired.” The country Judge laughed. 'WeU, -I -reckon I can’t attend to that right now-” “Then you refuse?” “Mebby you might call it that” Sampson leaned on the judge’# table and rapped sharply with -his knuckles. His handful of men stood close and Callomb caught his breath in, the heavy > air - of storm-freighted suspense. Tbe HoUman partistinB .filled the room and others were crowding to the doers ‘Tm high sheriff of this county now,” said Samson, sharply, “You are coun­ ty judge. Do We cooperate—or fight?” “I reckon,” drawled the other, “that’s a matter we’ll work out as we goes along. Depends on how obedient ye air.” ‘Tm responsible tor.the peace and quiet of this county,” continued Sam­ son. “We’re going to have peace and j quiet.” -. ,The judge looked about him. Thta Yn- dipations ffid notappear tob-lte indica­ tive ofpeaceand quiet- “Air we?” he inquired. ‘Tm coming be -k here In a half hour,” sffid the new sheriff. “This Is an unlawful and armed assembly. When I get back I want to find-the courthouse occupied only by urtarmed citizens who have business here.” “When ye comes back,” suggested the county judge, “I’d advise that ye resigns yore job. A half-hour is about es long as ye ought ter try ter hold hit.” Samson turned and walked through the scowling crowd to the courthouse steps. “Gentlemen,” he said, in a clear, far- carrying voice, “there is no need of an armed congregation at this court­ house. -1 call on you in the name of the law to lay aside your arms or scat­ ter.” There was murmur which for an in­ stant threatened to become a roar, but trailed into B chorus of derisive laugh­ ter. Samson went to the hotel, accompa­ nied by Callomb. A half-hour later the two were back at the courthouse with a half-dozen companions; The yard was empty. Samson carried his fath­ er’s rifle. In that half-hour a telegram, prepared in advance, had flashed to Frankfort. “Mob holds courthouse — need troops.” And a reply had flashed back: “Use local company—'Callomb com­ manding.” So that form of law was met. The courthouse doors were closed and its windows barricaded. The place was no longer a judicial building. It was a fortress. . As Samson’s party paused' at the gate a warning voice called: “Don’t come no nigher!” The bpdy-guard began dropping back to shelter. “I demand admission to the court­ house to make arrests,” shouted the new sheriff. In answer a spattering ot rifle reports came from the jail win­ dows. Two of the Souths fell. At a word from Samson Callomb left on a run for the hotel. The sheriff himself took his position In a small store across the street, which he reached un­ hurt under a desultory fire. • (TO BE CONTINUED.) m u i Reslored to Health by Lydlffi E» PinkhamV Vegetable ' NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE Possibility That Another Generation of Fighters May Utilize Their Whiskers. Here is a war comment from George W, Monroe, the comedian: The Russian army has one: advan­ tage over all other armies, and that, is whiskers. It has an entanglement of whiskers that nothing can penetrate— not even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs. A Russian soldier’s' whiskers are not the flossy kind that toss around with every passing gale. They are so dura­ ble that when he falls on them he does not. even bend them; he. drives them into the ground. The only time a Rus­ sian soldier is in danger is when he turns the back of his head to the. en­ emy. The other armies may have the best tactics, armament, discipline, spirit and patriotism, but the Russian army has the chilled-steel whiskers. The most difficult job a Red Cross nurse has to perform, after the Rus­ sian army has finished an engage­ ment, is to comb the bullets and shells out of the soldiers’ whiskers. . Fifty years from now, when the next great war is fought, it will not be a question of rapid-firing, long-range guns; it will .be a question of whis­ kers. The world will ask which army has the best whiskers. Whiskers wiU decide -the battle. Nations will no longer waBte money in buying big guns and testing them. They will grow whiskers for national defense and they will test an army’s efficiency by drawing up a company on the parade grounds and aUowing a husky coal heaver to go down thd-line and hit each;soldier hi the face with an ax. Whiskers that won’t make the ax bounce will be sent to the rear as un­ fit for the firing line. , HistoricFalntingSpell.

A wealthy Chinese money lender In Manchuria was recently convicted of making false declaration regarding robberies of his caravans by Mongolian bandits. His conscience troubled him to such an extent that he offered to contribute an annual sum of $750 for the relief of the poor, East and West says. This money was made the basis of a fund for feeding the helpless at Kungchuling. Manchuria is terribly poor, despite the mineral and agricultural riches ex­ tracted from its soil and rocks, all of which products are shipped abroad. There-are probably thousands of indus­ trious natives unable, by unremitting toll, to earn more than a meager liv­ ing. When to their nntural difficulties are added the ravages of bandits and the evils of m'lsgovernment, such as now prevail in many parts of China, abject poverty and starvation must be the lot of the people who, In the best of times, are only half fed.

A citizen of Spokane may attend a board of directors’ meeting In the heart of the dty at 10 a. m. and at 4 p. m. he may be hunting bear. The moun­ tains crowd right down upon the city and there are fifty lakes within a ra­ dius of a hundred miles. Spokane, like Rome, was not built In a day, but It was set up at a rate that makes all of those old saws about how long It takes to do things look hollow and meaningless. It was only In 1858 that the Indians got their first decisive defeat In this region and the first loco­ motive arrived In 1881. By 1890 they had something, of a town started, but It was wiped out by fire that year. The real growth began when the river was turned Into electric power— 170,000 horse. From this giant dynamo electricity reaches out through the can­ yons to hundreds of mines, driving the power trams into the bowels of the mountains, bringing wealth to the city, which sits like a spider at the ecnter of Its mighty web or current. Off, Morally. • An old Scottish' woman wished to sell a hen to a neighbor. “Please tell me,” the neighbor said, “Is she a’together a gold bird? Has She nae fauts, nae fauts at all?” “Aweel, Margot,” the other old wom­ an admitted, “she has got one faut She will lay on the Lord’s day.”—Bos­ ton Evening Transcript.

(From the United States Department Ot Agriculture.) Put common- storage houses for apples and potatoes In shape. -Make such Improvements now. Do not put this matter off until harvest time. Make arrangements now for the handling of your perishable fruit or vegetable harvesting arrangements, especially as regards labor, picking and packing house foremen, and have packing houses In order. Have crate and box material on hand. Make ev­ ery possible provision for the proper and careful handling of perishable produce. . If pre-cooling facilities are avail­ able^ have them in shape for handling the maximum capacity, efficiently and quickly. Remember we must conserve as ef­ ficiently as possible all the food prod­ ucts produced. The farmer will do his share only if he exercises every care in his handling, picking and pack­ ing operations so as to eliminate all possible waste in transportation, as on the care exercised In handling de­ pends largely the condition of the produce when it reaches the market Shipper and Carrier. JIeavier loading of cars will be nec­ essary if all dur perishable crops are to be moved to market. To prevent undue deterioration, there must be full co-operation between shippers and carriers. The shippers can aid greatly in making possible thevsuc- cessful movement...,of j o u r perishable food products, through more careful attention to handling,, to. maturity of product at time of harvesting, to the securing of quick cooling by cool night temperature, by pre-cooling, or quick handling to refrigerator' oars, and, last but not least,-to proper stowing and bracing in the car to .facilitate quick refrigeration and provide safety of lading from breakage-; in transit. Due attention to proper !Strength of packages is also essential. It is not sufficient for the fruit and vegetable growers simply, to order their shipping packages, in . advance. The; manufacturer should he. directed to-ship them at the earliest possible date. Unless this is done it . is prob­ able that in , many sections the grow­ ers will be without packages when the harvesting season arrives. Storage space should be arranged for, even though it requires additional handling. Careful Grading. It is of-the utmost Importance that fruits and vegetables be carefully graded before being shipped to the markets. The high cost of production makes this of greater importance, this year than ever'before. Shipping the diseased with the sound, the overripe with the properly matured specimens, and failure to classify the product to meet the various demands, result In deterioration, decay and inefficient distribution. The unmerchantable and' inferior grades should be con­ verted'into by-products, or discarded, and the good fruit or vegetables sep­ arated into classes according to their quality, -In'order to minimize contam­ ination and therefore prevent waste as well as to reduce the cost of mar­ keting. • An example of the effect of poor grading can be seen In the marketing of the early potatoes. Poor grading to a large extent causes the glutting of the market and consequent loss to the producers,' dealers and all con­ cerned. Co-operative Shipping. Shipping organizations can pool the output of their members and load cars of some ccmmodities to full capacity for large markets. Cara should be loaded and unloaded by shippers in the shortest possible time, and any work In regard to diversion of cars In transit should reduce delay as much as possible. . Southern growers should study data published by the bureau of crop es­ timates with a view to determining what . Northern crops seem to be short, and plan Qieir fall plowing, etc., In preparation for planting'the crops for which there seems likely to be the greatest need next spring. Both the condition and Qie acreage,, as well as the estimated yield, should receive careful consideration. : Farmers should estimate their labor needs as far In advance as possible— that is, not only the number of the help which will be needed, but the approximate time when they will first be needed and the length of ; time that they wlil be needed In each'-,locality. Farmers should co-operate in every way practicable with local, state or national employment bureaus. >- Shippers should pay more attention to small markets for their produce, especially In the event that there may be an overproduction of a ,certain commodity. Jt is highly desirable that crops of which there is a very heavy production, such as may be the case with potatoes, be distributed over as wide a territory as possible. Shippers should try to cultivate the small-town markets and hence Increase the num­ ber of outlets for such crops, thus pre­ venting gluts In the larger markets and conserving the supply of other more important commodities, such as wheat. In case a grower has difficulty In disposing of a surplus-of a given com­ modity, he should attempt to conserve as large a proportion as practicable by means of canning and evaporation and providing good common storage on his farm for such crops as apples, potatoes. Cabbage and onions. More attention might also be paid to the Conserving of root crops, such as tur­ nips. Every -precaution should be taken to eliminate waste and loss due to decay. Write for Information. Producers who are not already in touch with- the United States bureau of markets should write to that bu­ reau to find out If there is any way In which information which is at the disposal of various projects can be of benefit to them in the marketing of their crops. In addition-to the mar­ ket news service, which is maintained regarding meat, bay and grain and the proposed market news service for dairy products, it is probable that daUy market bulletins will be issued during August on the following fruits and vegetables: White potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, apples, peaches,'cel­ ery and dried beans. . Among other reports-which are pub­ lished 'more or less regularly by the United States bureau of markets, and which should be of considerable value to producers, may be mentioned Weekly Carlot Summary, Weekly Mar­ ket Review, Storage Reports. BEHER QUALITY OF FRUIT BY THINNING Problem Will Vary This Season According to Location, Says Kansas Horticulturist. Thln the apples and get a better quality of fruit, Is the suggestion of F. S. Merrill, -assistant professor of horticulture In the Kansas State Agri­ cultural college. The problem of thinning will vary this year according to locality, accord­ ing to Professor MerrllL The season of pollination was unfavorable and the set of fruit generally light Some districts report a particularly heavy set and consequently some of the big­ gest growers are planning to thin this year. . Thinning conserves’ plant food for the use of the best specimens, reduces liability of Umb breakage, reserves the stored-up plant food, for the develop­ ment of next year’s crop, and gives larger fruit with better color. If properly done, it removes the diseased specimens, and thus reduces somewhat danger of later infection. ■ The work should, be done soon after the June drop is completed or when the apple is the size of a hazelnut If thinning is done early-there is less waste of piant food for the developing fruit although the later thlnnlng.would have some value in preventing break­ age of the limbs. Varieties like Ben Davis, Rome Beauty, and Gano are easily thinned by hand while others with short fruit spurs offer some' difficulty. For such varieties the use of special thinning shears is advocated. In thinning not more than one apple should be left on n spur. . In removing the surplus ap­ ples an upward twist' of the stem will remove the undesirable fruit without Injury to the remaining apple. The small, poorly developed, diseased, or Injured apples should be removed and If the . set of healthy apples is great they should be thinned to eight Inches apart. Careless workers sometimes break off the fruit spurs upon which the fruit is growing. Such a practice ShoMd not be tolerated -because the. injury so Inflicted may be so severe as to counteract the value of thinning; The frffit buds are nearly always de­ veloped on short irregular spurs, add It Is these that shbitld'be guarded.

The Thirty Ninth Annnal Ma­ sonic picnfc, which was held at Clement Grove Thursday, was the biggest and best ever held here. It is estimated that the crowd num­ bered not less than 10,000 people. The exercises began about ten o’clock and continued until about four o’clock, wirh an intermission W dinner. The annual address was delivered by Hon. Max Gard; ner, of Shelby, Lieut-Governoi. His speech was one of the best, if not the.best, that has ever been delivered on a similar occasion, and those who beard him are loud in their praise of his ad dregs A number of former including Attorney Frank Hanes of Winston<fciiem, and Rev. D. W. Lictletou, orPoeomoke, Md., also ma<\e shor^ddressesl, The songs and recitations.by the' class from the Oxford Orphanage,- were high­ ly entertaining and greatly enjoy­ ed by the large crowd. Themusic was furnished by the Salisbury Band, as it was found out at the last.moment that the Oasis Temple Band, of Charlotte, could not get here. To make up for their ab­ sence, they mailed a check for $200 to the orphanage. „ The day was an ideal one for the picnic. The crowd was the largest that has .ever assembled in Mocks­ ville, and the cash receipts are Iar in excess of any, previous year and amountedJ^ feetween $1,600 and $2,000. V B a rg e crowd was well behave<kfeafRf not an arrest was made. few of the boys had a little bug juice, but we onlj saw two that bad taken on ,.enough to tangle their-legs. The peoplevwere her&from nfearly everywhere. The east and west, north and south shook hands Thursday in their old home town; We noticed repre­ sentatives here from Texas, Flori­ da, Colorado, Virginia, South Car­ olina, Wiest V irginia,. District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and oth­ er States. The picnic was a grand success in every way, and Manager O. L. Williams deserves a great deal of praise for the manner in which the piogram was carried out. W e have no doubt but that the Fortieth Annual Picnic next year, will be even a greater success than the one just held. .

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX,* EDrTEDBY • BERTHA MARVIN LEE. Who goes to Sunday school in Korea? At 9:30 the young boys; at 11 the young men: the older men at 10, the older wom­ en at 11. The- young- unmarried 'girls meet in a seperate building. So the en­ tire church goes to Sunday ‘school. Then after the services for the Cbristians there is one for the non-Christians. tIt is not hard to understand that in a town of 5,000 inhabitants there are 2,500 Christi­ ans and seven large Sunday schools. Women of 70 team the Alphabet in order to read their Bibles. An old blind man cuts up pieces of Standard pil cans, stamps on each piece a letter ana teaches himself how to read.- Memorizing Bible verses is almost a national occupation. Many people are teribly poor, but none can afford not to have- a Bible and a hymn-book to bring to Sunday school,. The missions hospital has almost .put the old quack doctors out of existence, but their mark is left on many who were in childhood their victims. In many places the “devil houses” have entirely played'out. (Thisis due to the Sunday schools. J. M. Ratledge, of Calalialn, has our thanks for a bag of cucumbers. ColoredBoy Jailed.

Thebrayestm an I ever knew was a sixteen year old lad, George Barbee by the .name, son of a ten­ ant farmer in North Carolina, said Colonel Robert Bingham, Class of ’57 to the University Alam ni of Chapel Hill the other day. He was the color- bearer of the Forty-Fourth—the eelf-appointed color bearer jn a regiment that never lost a flag. The strippling soldier saw nine flag sergants shot down, one after another; by the murderous fire ol one fierce charge; then he sprang forward to lift those colors out of the dust, and he bore them proud­ ly aloft till after the war. And strange td say. that young color bearer came out of the con­ flict without a single scratch? He brought tha ehot torn flag, of the Forty-Fourth oat of war wrapped around his body under his uhirt. and with streaming eyes sank it in a river with a rock to save it fr o m surrender. That, young gentleman, -said Bingham to the Claes of 1917, was the Johnny Bed Spirit In the six ties, and that must be your spirit to day.—University News Letter.

Statesville Sentinel. Many papers of the state are taking note of and making com meats upon the manner in which ihecrim inalsofoar state are be ing given their freedom through one means of another. The case of Dr. Summers, the Charlotte physican, who was guilty of not only the murder of au infant, bnt also the mother, is the IateBt ope to escape his just punished by paying oat. A l. Fairbrother in “Everything,” just abbut express cs our sentimentB when he says “Dr. J. W. Summers, of Chari, lotte, found guilty of manslaughter, vlieu in fact it should have been murder, has been practically par iloned by the Governor, The old duck who undertook to violate his professional oath and who was found guilty ot killing a young girl who went to him to secure his services in an attem pt to hide her shame, was sent to prison. by a judge who afterward thought it over and recommended a lighter sentence. Some of the- jourymea who heard the evidence and under oath calmly returned their verdict were convinced long after the trial was over that they had made a mistake, and asked for a lighter sentence. “The prosecuting attorney ap­ peared before the Governerand in­ sisted that the sentence was just; that it should stand; but Governor Bickett. looking to ub like he was still playing politics, , commutes the sentence and allows Summers to pay a fine of one thousand dol Iars and this the penalty of man­ slaughter in North Carolina. ‘•And yet we wonder or- some unthinking people, wonder—why .mob law prevails; and poor people wonder, those without a pull and sell a little likker on the sly, why they 6hould go to the roadB for. long waary years, while murders, boosted by citizens and assited by a Governor, can go free if they have the money to purchase im­ munity. ‘•Dr. Summers not only murder ed a child, but he brought about awom&a’s death, End when the Governor iqjposea upon him a fine of $1,000 he says he i* .guilty; or else, if innocent, why pay any fine at all! W hy pay any ..Jne ol oue thousand dollars—for WhaH Horth Carolina has had eome wonderful Governors. Locke Craig's record for commuting the sentence of the Winston murdered aud murderess was not as shock- iug as this act of Governor Bickett. Xbe Governor is throwing hysterics about some people who are talk­ ing about violating the draft law, sending messages to Washington Hud writing fierce Iettersto sheriffs, but he found time to tell and old doutor who had been found guilty «f manslaughter that if he would laise a thousand plunks he could settle the bill. “How many unfortunate men, "a wonder, have served long terms in the pentjentiary for crimeB much less than that committed by Dr. Summers, and who would have l>eec glad to “ pay out!” But whats the use! * The pardoning re fOtd in North Carolina is a record Iliat. makes the blood on law-abid- >ng citizens boil—ot at least it isiiould.” • The Difference Between The Coun* try Boy And The City Boy. From time immemorial the country boy has been petted and praised as the hope of the nation. And he is; but not because he is naturally one with sop'erior to the boy. of the city. In fact the city boy will average up a little better because of bis very superior ad­ vantages; The country boy is the strong'man of the future not be­ cause he is a country boy merely, but because bis vitality is not sap­ ped and his strength depleted be cause of the temtations rife 4a ur­ ban life, but from which he out in the rural regions, is practically ex­ empt. Henry W . Grady said “lhe cities produce very few leaders. Almost every great man iu our history formed his character in the leisure and deliberations of our villageor country Iite and drew his strength from the drugs of the earth even as the child draws his from his mother’s breast.” The country boy lives where things grow. His life nuturai free, and he does his work in the day time and gets his Bleep at night. And he merges into manhood with his mental and physical faculties strong and fresh aud normal. We have no doubt in the world that if the citj boy were as regular in his habits and took as much health­ ful exercise as the boy on the farm he would be his equal in every re­ spect. The fact is that happened to know, some who were reared in the,city and whose fathers and mothers .had sense enough to con­ trol, who stand today the very forefront among the men of our time.- Take as an example the sons of Bev. Jacob Henry Smith. W hereon the face of earth will you find a set of boys who have developed into stronger or more useiul men than the Smith boys'? But old-Dr, Smith had rules for his household that the children were compelled to respect and o beyl After all, it is not the place in which a boy was reared that fits him for life but the training he had in. his homeland I t must be confess­ ed that the countryman has and eaiser time controling his bouse hold than the city 4'ather hafei And herein lies the difference between the country and city boy.—Es.

But, with eyes bandaged in order to prevent seeing the truth wi"h ears Btopped in order that they might not hear it. the polit- cians in Washington have, for the last two years, have been wasting the most priceless time in human history, deaf to the call of the world for rescue from barbarism, and blind to the certain destruc­ tion of our country unless, stand­ ing with the Allies, we Bave them from ruin. Washington has been filled with pro-Germans, the Congress of the nation has listened to the speeches of traitors guilty of treason to a de­ gree which ought to have sen) them before the firing squad; the country at large has refused to a- wakeu, and so we . have gone on day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, until now we have reached a point where the danger which con. fronts -us is the greatest in its ter- riffic possibilities ever confronted in the world’s history by such a nation. Nero fiddling while Bome burn­ ed was a patriotic saint, worthy of the highest admiration of his own generation and of all the genera­ tions that have followed, as com­ pared with many of the men in Washington, whose work has not been merely to fiddle in pleasure, but who .have been engaged in throwing on the fuel and lighting the torch with which to burn” the nation’s life at the stake. And these men are not only th e . pro’ Germans and the traitors whose presence disgraces Congress, but there have been many others whose narrow vision, whose inability to comprehend facts, has made them, some times unintentionally, it is true co-partners with the traitors and with those who have tried to nail the nation to the cross and - a- round it pile the fagots and help to put the torch, that I hey. might around this martyred national life dance with.fiendish5 glee aud pre­ pare to welcome KaiBer Wilbelm and his workers fresh from Hell. —Manufactures’'Record.

Anderson, who w at present visiting his “ grandma*’ on West broad St., like most ol his children acquires his knowledge by asking questions and.the youngster is not exception. Tbe other night short­ ly after Grandpa a'nd grandson had retired, the thumping of a piano was heard, aceompiined by other music and noises, 60 the question box opened. “ Pa, what is that piano playing for aud what is that other noise.” “ That’s a dance son.” ‘‘W hat is a dance, Pa!” Don’t you know what a dance is!” No. “ They just dance by the music, get together and dance.’’ This explanation, however, did not satisfy or give the youngster the desired knowledge, so he was instructed to go up stairs where some of the other members of the family were sitting and he could get a “ child-eye-view” of the dancing, which wos going on in the next building. He crawled out of bed, clad in his nighties and journeyed up staira to ascertain the real reason for all that noise. After spending an hour watching and having fully satisfied himself Ke was now wiser, he returned to hiBbed. “ Well what do you think ot the dancing!” His grandfather asked “ It’s all right Pa, but Pa, why don’t they all wear clothes!” Well they do sou, did you see any without clothes! “ I seen one girl that just had a red ribbon round her neck and arms, that’s all pa.

WHEN EVERY MOVE HURTS Lame every morning, achy and stiff all day, worse when it's damp or chilly? Sus­ pect your kidneys and try the. remedy that others have used and found merit in. E. S. Porter, prop, plumbing shop, 446 S. Main St. Winston-Salem, N. C., says: I found it difficult to straighten'up after I had been stooping over for a little while. When I tried to lift anything, I noticed my back was so weak that I couldn't do so without a sharp pain catching me a- cross my kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recomended to me so highly that I got a box.. A. few doses relieved me of the pain in my back 'and after I had taken one box, I felt better in every way.” Price 60c, at all dealers.

In connec tion with prohibition against - the carriage of liquor on the person, your attention is called to ’the- case of United States y. Chavez (1228 U: S. 512, 525, 532538).

We are'in position a t present to “shoe” a large number of people at very reasonable priccs, because we contracted with the factories for our shoes before there was so much ad­ vance on hidtsand leather. Wehave had to - advance the prices on some, of our shoes, still we are selling a great many at less than we can get them made today. We have done our best to get honest, solid leather shofes. We’ll hold the prices down as long as we can. We have men’s heavy work shoes at $2 50, $3 00, $3 50 and $4 00; scouts at $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00; plough shoes at $1.75 and $1.95; first quality splits at $2 25 and $2 50. - . Women’s heavy shoes from $1.65 to $300; boys’ and children’s close to the same prices of last winter. • Rubbers an$ rubber boots at the old prices. We feel that it is our duty to buy right and sell right. We have been watching the leather market for 23 years,- and hatfe always tried to save our customers money on our shoes. • There will’be all kinds oi advertising schemes sent out on the shoe problem, advertising 'cheap, shoddy - shoes—calling them “Bargains.” We appeal to you to use your best judgment in this matter. We have Shoes, Rubbers and Rubber Boots at the right prices. You can get them by coming or sending for them. Come on and get them. Yoti are always welcome at our store.

Horrible Scenes In Yadkinville. In all the years this writer has been in Yadkinville we have never 'seen many tragedies; we have seen many a hope rise and fall; we have sgen many a light flash up and die in despair, but never has there been the days around little Yadkin court house that were wit­ ness here last week, while the boys were here for elimination for ser vice in the great world war. W e have seen our neighbors and cit!- zens wrought up over trival mat­ ters; many times the little scenes around the court house are touch ing; they happen almost daily and Bomebody suffers; somebody goes away with downcast heart, but only a close observer of these small events can appreciate them to their fullest value; no one is in position to see them as the country editor sees them; he is looking and watching for them that he . more folly understand the people with whom he lives and that he may be more able to see them from the right angle. But days here last week were unlike any previous days there were no jokes; theie was no greetings; the small and the great stood together; the rich and poor went through the same process; they all look alike to the exemption! board and they can re nder the same service to Uncle Sams army in France; but the lathersali w orea sad expression; the brothers and in some instances mothers and sisters here to render any service possible for tbeir boys; many of them wore grey hairs and .many bore the marks of the previ­ ous years; they know what it is; they know that to be a soldier means more than being away from home and mother; it means more than being hungry and starving; it means not only death in many cases but not a decent burial. Old grey headed lathers set around grasping as any hope that they might save tbeir boys; strong men broke down and cried; men of big hearts and little hearts cried and hoped together; in many cases it was not a tear now and then; they come freely; they come from men who have seen life at every angle, who have Seen defeat and sorrow in many ways without breaking down. But that is not all. They tell of the sorrow that is back home in mothers breast and we all know it is there.: Mother alone knows of the Borrow and woe that it is concealed in her bosom: she thinks hot only of hers but of others; she loves her boy beBt of all but if it is not her boy; if it is not my brother hr your brother; it is somebody’s boy muBt go; the awful fact re­ mains that somebody'-s must go and they are all somebody’s darl­ ing.

These animals resemble bears but those who have seen] them know they are not bears. They are not so clumsy but have the agility of a of a wild cat. Anyhow, the folks in that section laying far them. One of Davie’s citizens was here a few days ago buying buckshot. Others have taken down their rusty old fire-arms and put them in shape for service.

Ischurchgoing of value? A Chicago judge says that three out of four domestic troubles brought before him have been the result of the neglect of husband and wife to attend any church service. Do you give a tenth to the Lord? “Assuming that the Lord expects as much of our Protestants churches as he demanded of the ancient Jews. American Christians have robbed him of $350,000,- 000-this year,” says J. Campbell White. Which reminds one of the terse sayinng that, if a Jew gave one tenth under the law. fora Christian to give less under grace is a disgrace. His Gift And Mine. "Over against the treasury He sits who gave himself for me. HO sees the coopers that I give Whogave his life that I might live. He sees the silver I withhold Wbo left forme his throne of gold. Who found a manager for his bed. Who had not where to lay his head.He sees the gold I clasp tight. And I am debtor in his sight.” How much time do you give to ’ the Lord? In one church in Korea every individual agreed to give one whole day of each month to God. Everyone could do just whaf work he or she pleased, but the day must be faithfully consecrated, and the proceeds of the work must be given to­ ward the support of the preacher. - What a day it wasl Little boys climb­ ed the mountain and gathered dried grass for firewood, and tiny girls helped mother wash or dye clothes or sew yards of linen for winter garments. Strongm engotup early in the morning and went off to the forests to bring bume firewood to take to the town on market day. Women sat in their tiny courtyards making stiaM shoes, or went into the fields to weed the grain. Each one of the 174 men, women, and children gave to God one day in the month, and when the money was all gathered in was found that instead of fifteen yen there were eighteen. Some of the little folks who were to small, to do any work that would bring in money sacrificed a meal on that day so that the cost of the meal could be put in the prcabbers box. Poor women who had no chatj&e of making a little money or were to busy in their homes, gave1 two -large spoonfuls of rice or barley each day.

Draft Armies of 687,000 Men to be Mobilized in Three Increments, the first September 5th. Washington.—Plans for the most im­ portant troop movement ever attempt­ ed in this country involving the trans­ portation of 687,000 men are being perteeted by the American Railway As- : sociation at the request of the federal sovernment, according to an announce­ ment made her by Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the railroads’ war board. The movement of troops from the various states to the army canton­ ments will start September 5,” said Mr. Harrison ,and between that date and September 9 the railroads will complete the entrainment of 200,000- men. approximately thirty per cent of the total number to be moved. It is expected that a second move­ ment of 200,000 men will begin Sep­ tember 18, continuing for four days and a third movement of the same size on October 3.. Some conception of the task which comronts the association may be sitaneu from the fact -that 6,229 cars made up in 366 trains, with as many locomotives and train crews, are re­ quired to one field army of 80,000. “The railroads have also been ask- I cd to supply transportation for 350,- OOfI soldiers of the national guard to their training camps. This has al­ ready been started and will continue in increasing volume until all have been moved.” Will Make Up First Contingent of Na­ tional Guardsmen to Go Abroad From New England Who Will Train Six Weeks at Home. Wr-hington.—Two army divisions instead of one, comprising a total of at least 38,000 men, probably will make up the first contingent of the national guard to go to France. Although no official confirmation was abtainable, there was evidence that the composite forty-second divis­ ion' whose organization recently was announced, will be accompanied abroad by the twenty-sixth, made up of New Hngland guardsmen. The commander of the twenty- sixth is Major, General Clarence Ed­ wards, now acting as commander of the department of the northeast. The forty-second is commanded by Major General W. A. Mann. _ A" report was current that suffi­ cient shipping will be available for forwarding two divisions' within the time fixed, for the departure of the forty-second and that the twenty- sixth had been selected to go because it comes from a compact area and is composed largely of regiments of high rating, and representing states whose troops were left out of the composite ,division. . The forty-second division is being mobilized at Mineloa under the new European standard, which requires that the strength of the individual in­ fantry regiments be increased more than fifty per cent. The process ne­ cessitates the addition of some units not included in the original order, for where one company of infantry, for instance, was to have come from any state, two companies have been con­ solidated to give- the 250 men neces­ sary. Thus hundreds of men have been transferred to fill up the regi­ ments selected to go. All the other national- guard divisions will go through a similar process on arrival at divisional camps. No hint has been given as to the probable time it will .require to pre­ pare the forty-second ,for..embarks tion. The question of equipment also enters into the fixing of a sailing date. The same considerations apply also to the twenty-sixth. The war department announced the final allotment of state troops among the national army cantonments and made public the list of colonels as­ signed to regimental commands in the various divisions both of national army and national guard. WILSON TO GIVE APPEAL OF POPE GRAVE ANALYSIS May be Several Days Before Concrete Step is Taken. Washington.—That the government is determined to give Pope Benedict’s peace proposal the most deliberate and painstaking consideration before framing a reply was "evinced again by developments both at the white house and the state department. Thet cabinet, holding its first session -since the note arrived, avoided any general discussion of the subject because Pres­ ident Wilson is understood to feel that there must be a searching analysis of the questions raised before such dis­ cussion would be profitable. Secretary Lansing and his advisers, on whom most of the responsibilities for making this analysis will rest, con­ tinued their study of the pontiff’s sug­ gestions with every indication that it probably would be several days before any concrete step could be expected. Meantime the undercurrent of offi­ cial thought • manifestly continued to trend toward a conviction that the grand alliance will find some of the proposals' In the Vatican note very difficult to accept. PLAN SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR LOAN FOR ALLIES Washington.—Issuance of $7,538,- 945,000 worth of four per cent federal bonds, subject only to income super­ taxes, war profits and excess profit taxes and designed to provide $4,000,- 000,000 for further allied loans and to retired the $3,000,000,000 non-taxable three and a half per cent issue now authorized to cover loans to the alliesis contemplated in suggestions sub­ mitted by Secretary McAdoo to the house ways and means committee. PICKETING AROUND WHITE• : V HOUSE MUST.

Seyeralhoms were ,allowed,for the warning to ,take effec,' then six women posted at toe executive mansion gates were carrteu off In a patrol-wagon much to. Ihe ae- light of a watehtng,«owd* - Infantry Company Hereafter Will Have 250 Men Two Captains; Four Lieutenants to Provide Against Dis­ organization. Washington.—Complete reorganiza­ tion of all branches of the Americau army to conform with European stan­ dards as recommended by Major Gen­ eral Pershing, Is provided for in army orders revealing that the recentlv an­ nounced divisional reorganization plan In to be carried down into the regiments and companies. The ad­ ministrative unit of the infantry arm hereafter will be a company of 250 enlisted men and six commissioned officers, in place of something over 100 men and three officers. The com­ pany will be divided into four platoons each in command of a lieutenant. There will be two captains as first and second in command, one first lieutenant and thiee second lieuten­ ants. Reports of the review of the American troops in France show that this plan already has been carried out in General Pershing’s forces. The object of assigning two cap­ tains to each company, it is under­ stood, is to provide against disorgan­ ization of the unit through the loss of its commander. The second captain, under the European system, does not go into battle line with the company if his senior is present. He is held as a reserve to reorganize the com­ pany if necessary. Under the new plan each regiment will have three battalions of four companies, making a total , of 3,000 men. Supplemented by the regimental headquarters, sup­ ply and machine gun organizations, the strength of the new regiment3 will be brought up to approximately 3,600 men as against little more than 2,060 In existing war strength regiments. Other Arms Not Changed. The unit organization of the field artillery and other arms of the ser­ vice has not been changed. As a re­ sult of reducing the number of regi­ ments in a division, the division, in­ stead of 28,000 men, will total here­ after about 19,000 men, 15,000 of. them infantry. - The advantage of the system, in addition to the better adaptation of the divisional unit to trench warfare, lies chiefly In the reduction in over­ head expense. One colonel and his regiment staff, including his three battalion commanders will now han­ dle 3,600 men instead of a little more than 2,000. GREATWARqROPOF APPLES FOR PEOPLE OF THE NATION SOON It Will Equal Two Bushels for Every Person in the Country. NEWLY APPOINTED - OFFICERS GO TO FRANCE. Will Be Given Intensive Training By Gen. Pershing. Washington.—From the 27,000 offi­ cers taken from the training camps just closed a considerable number are being selected to begin immediately intensive training In France under direction of Major General Pershing. The plan provides for establishing an officers' school In the American army where they can be given, inten­ sive instruction similar to that being given the regular army contingent al­ ready there. In addition some of the young offi­ cers may be 3eht to PYench and Brit­ ish officers’ school as both- govern­ ments have expressed their wiUing- ness to undertake post-graduate work of that nature. Some of the young officers also will be' attached to the regular regiments now in France. When they have re­ ceived sufficient training they may re- place officers now in charge of the American units and ..whose experience would be of value in training the new armies at home. It is possible also that many of the new ogicers will be sent home as instructors. as soon as they have completed training courses In France. GENERAL WOOD IS TRANSFERRED TO KANSAS. W Washington.—Assignment of gen­ eral officers to the army cantonments announced reveals - that Maj. .Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the south­ eastern department, is to be trans­ ferred to command the Eighty-ninth (national guard) division, Camp Fun- ston, Fort Riley, Kan. Official an­ nouncement of this Intention on the part of the war department was made by the department Friday, August 10. THIRTY-TWO MAJ. GENERALS ASSIGNED TO WAR DUTY. Washington.—Thitry-two major gen­ erals are assigned In a war depart­ ment order just made public to com­ mand the .national guard and national army divisions of the wararmies. On the list are all of the present regular departmental commanders, including Major General Leonard Wood, ranking officer of the service, who now are called upon for duty In the field and probably a£ the front In France. Soecial Efforts WiJI Be Made to Handle Fruit Without Any Loss—May Find Help Shortage in Sonic Places—Staples to Allies. In order that we may help win the war against autocracy, Americans must do everything possible to fur­ nish sufficient food to help our fighting allies. We must eat more perishable and semiperishable food at home In order that the staple articles, such as wheat, may be sent abroad In great amounts. In a couple of weeks we wilt begin harvesting apples all over the country. This Is. a war crop. It will amount to two bushels for every man, woman and child In the United States. The motto this year Is: “Eat an apple and send a blseult.” War conditions also confront the apple growers, for there is a scarcity of pickers, and careful preparations must now be made to see that this crop-is all safely harvested and put into storage. Now is the time to be­ gin organizing picking crews In every apple growing section. A survey of the situation shows that the farmer will need' co-operation from business men. in the towns and cities round about at which he trades, and which have just as great an interest in this crop as the farmer himself. This Is emergency organization work to be taken up immediately by chambers of commerce, boards of trade, state and county councils of defense, and busi­ ness men generally. The labor, supply to harvest this crop exists right in the cities adjacent to the apple orchards In most cases, but the draft and demands of fac­ tories and railroads for labor have disturbed the normal supply of work­ ers upon which the farmer usually draws, and it Is necessary to recruit new kinds of workers. People who have never regarded themselves as ap­ ple pickers may this year be asked to go to the orchards and help get In the crop for patriotic reasons. The organization work should take the form of an immediate survey of labor resources to see where a picking force is to be recruited. Stores and factories can often release clerks and workmen for this service if notified In time. Families who would like a week or two of vacation in the country with light, healthy outdoor work at satisfac­ tory wages, -may, also be induced to join the picking army. It has been sug­ gested that the schools might be open­ ed later this year so that boys and girls can be sent to the orchards, but this will not be necessary In all cases. One very good source of • pickers can be found among the women’s organiza­ tions of this country, which are all keenly Interested in helping In any practical patriotic work. Much is heard about the scarcity of labor, but there Is not as great a scar­ city as most people Imagine. Workers upon whom the farmer depends in or­ dinary times have simply been shifted into other occupations, and war condi­ tions demand that business men step In, locate other classes of workers who can be shifted to the orchards for this emergency and see that the farmer has plenty of help. There will probably be some diffi­ culty in harvesting the apple crop with these volunteer workers, many of whom have no experience at the work. Perishable fruit must be handled care­ fully to prevent injury to the skin and bruises. These would later cause de­ cay when the apples go into storage. The principles of careful fruit pick­ ing are very simple, and easily under­ stood. If the farmer can start-with two or three experienced pickers and spend a little time explaining good picking methods to his volunteers he should get excellent results, for these volunteers, while new to the work, will also be people of good average intelli­ gence, and the war emergency will ap­ peal to their Interest so that they will be more .than ready to help harvest the crop skillfully. Apple growers are advised to get In touch with the business organizations In their nearest town, ask that help be given in securing pickers and report the number of pickers needed by. them­ selves. One of the , greatest difficul­ ties in organizing harvest hands for •any crop is that of gathering accurate information as to how many helpers are needed on each farm and in each township. For lack of such informa­ tion it very often happens that one township will be handicapped because it Is without sufficient helpers and a township twenty-five or thirty miles away will have a surplus of workers. By ascertaining in advance just how many workers will be needed In each locality, business organizations will be able to recruit a sufficient force HOOVER PREPARES FOR ACTION IF NECESSARY TO STABALIZE FOOD PRICES. IS FIRST MOVE OF Il SERIES When Money Talks. "Tour candidate seems to have some ability, but he murders the king’s Eng­ lish.” “Drtn't let that worry you,” answered the practical' politician. “He has a bank roll that speaks half a dozen languages fluently.” Obvious Thing. “Are the Illustrations In papers and magazines reduced In cost?” “No; whyshonld they be?” “Aren’t they furnished to - cat prices?” , , Form Fifty Million Dollar Corporation, With Ail Stock Held by Federal Government to Buy and Sell Wheat at Principal Terminals. Washington.—The food administra­ tion prepared to take over the entire 1917 wheat crop if necessary to stabil­ ize prices thoroughout the year. It formed a fifty million dollar corpora­ tion, with all of the stock held by the federal government to buy and sell wheat at the principal terminals. The move was the first of a series to be taken to reduce the price of bread. Millers already have agreed to put themselves under voluntary regulations and are working out with the food administration a differential of profits. Distribution of 'flour by the wholesalers and the baking of bread will be taken up next. ’ The hope of the food administra­ tion is to establish a scale of prices from the farm to the grocery store, eliminateing undue profits and ending speculation. In announcing formation of the wheat corporation, the food adminis­ tration also has made known the per­ sonnel of committee which will fix a price to be paid for this year’s wheat yield, and the names of thirteen men who will act as purchasing agents for the corporation at terminals, The wheat corporation will be put under the administration’s grain di­ vision. Its chairman will be Herbert Hoover and ita. president Julian Barnes, a Deluth exporter now serv­ ing as a voluntary aide in the food ad­ ministration. The price-fixing com­ mittee will be headed by President Garfield, of Williams college. The wheat corporation will handle all allied grain purchases and will do the buying for the American govern­ ment. The allies will be required to purchase flour instead of wheat on the theory that manufacturing costs, wil be reduced and American indus­ try encouraged. GERMANS SPEND MILLIONS BRIBING WEARY RUSSIANS. Root Discusses. Conditions Found While on Visit in Russia. New York.—Expressing . confidence in the soundness of the character of .the Russian people for self-govern­ ment, Elihu Root, head of the special diplomatic mission to Russia in two addresses here at this city’s official reception to the mission, denounced the part played in that country during its time of peril by “men correspond­ ing to the I. W. W. here, the ex­ treme socialists and anarchists with whom the German agents made com­ mon cause.” Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who also spoke at the meetings, first at city hall and then at the chamber of commerce likewise declared “that organizations like , the I. W. W. are criminally aid­ ing German propaganda in this coun­ try” adding: “Let us make those who oppose ob­ stacles to the success of the war feel that they are unhung traitors.” He further said that “until the United States has placed 5,000,000 men-Jn the fighting line we will have no right to consider ourselves as standing level with Canada In this fight for democracy" and advocated the putting of American soldiers “in masses on which ever front they are most needed.” At the ceremonies In city hall, Mayor Mitchell presented to Mr. Root, as its first recipient, the medal of the National Arts club awarded for “dis­ tinguished valor in the service of the United States,” saying that in leaving his life of safety to "undertake the hazards of the mission,” Mr. Root had shown the “American valor and fight­ ing spirit,” the medal was designed to Bignallze. NOMINATIONS FOR NEW ARMY INCLUDES OFFICERS OF REG­ ULARS AND GUARDS. DIVISION TO FRANCE SOON Regular Officers Will Probably Com­ mand Guard Divisions.—Seniority Rule Closely Followed.—New Tac­ tical Units. Washington.—Nominations Cf near­ ly 200 general officers in the national, army, including officers of the regu­ lar army and the national guard were sent to the Senate by President Wil­ son. * From the thirty-seven new major generals to be created for the dura­ tion of the war and from the exist­ ing major generals for the regular army, will come the army, corps and division commanders of all the forces now being raised, regulars, national guard or national army. Similary the brigade commanders will be se­ lected from the list of more than 100 new bragadiers. Coincident with this announcement of high command, came the statement from the war department that a com­ posite national guard division, com­ posed of troops from twenty-six states and the District of Columbia, was In process of organization under com­ mand of Brigadier General Mann, now chief of the militia bureau of the de­ partment, but who heads the list of national army major generals. These wijl be the first national guard troops to be sent to France. No discussion is permitted by the censorship regulations, however, of the time of their mobilization .or de­ parture for the front. The list of general officers shows that the seniority rule has been fol­ lowed closely except where men in line for promotion were found want­ ing by the board of officers which made the recommendations to the President. The rule laid down by Secretary Baker for the selection of general officers directed that two ma­ jor qualifications govern the board— evidence during their army careers of skill In leading troops in action and in training soldiers. The list of major generals takes in virtually all of the army brigadiers and includes the only two national guard officers of that rank, Generals O'Ryan. of New York and Clements, of Pennsylvania. ■••••••• •; WARRING NATIONS GET ANOTHER PEACE APPEAL.

Pope Benedict Submits New Plan.— China Declares War on Germany. To the warring nations of the earth has come another appeal for peace from Pope Benedict. The foundation stones of the plan of the pontiff for world tranqulity are reduction of armaments and free­ dom of the seas and that there shall be no retliatory struggle after the war for world commercial supremacy. Specific proposals made to the bel­ ligerents unofficial reports say, include the restoration of Belgium, Serbia and Rumania. The questions of Alsace- Lorraine, Trent and Trieste and Po­ land, it is suggested, should be ad­ justed peacefully. The pope’s plan also calls for the return to Germany of all her colonies. In July, 1915, Pope Benedict made his first appeal for peace. At that time the pontiff invited all friends of peace to join with him in his decire to bring hostilities to an end. ATmost simultaneously with the latest appeal of Pope Benedict, China entered the ranks of the belligerents by formally declaring war on Germany and Aus­ tria-Hungary. No great changes have taken place on the battlefields, of Europe. North­ east of Ypres, in Flanders, British troops have forced German posts to retire across the Steenbeke ricer. which lies east of the Ypres-Thourout railway and in the region of Lange- marck. Field MarshaU Haig’s men held their' gain and re-established ' their line of the eastern bank. At other places from the coast to St. Quentin the artillery firing has increased in some sectors and the British have carried out a number of successful raids, the most important being in the environs of Lens by the Canadians.

STATE LIBRARIAtI TO BE ELECTED -NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR PLACE AND FRIENDS ARE ACTIVE. OISPtTCKES FROU RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Indications are that very soon after Governor Bickett returns from his present sojourn in the mountains, which will be in about a couple of weeks, there will be an election of a state librarian to take the place of Capt. M. 0. Sherrill, who resigned on account of advanced age and en­ feebled health. There are a number of candidates for the place, the friends of whom are especially active in the meantime. Miss Carrie Broughton, who has been the assistant librarian for a long while, is an aspirant ior the place and there are a number of others. Marshall Delancey Haywood, who was assistant librarian for a year and was librarian at the A. & E. College for two years, is being urged for the place. W. F. Marshall of the Mutual Publishing Company is an aspirant and it is understood that friends of Col. Alex. I. Fields are urging him for the place. State to Grind More Limestone. With the state’s limestone posses­ sions sixty miles beyond Asheville analyzing beyond 95 per cent calcium carbonate, according to a triple analy- s-s on the part of the State Geologi­ cal Board, the State Oil Chemist and the Federal Bureau of Soils, Com­ missioner of Agriculture W. A. Gra­ ham is proceeding toward the estab­ lishment of a crushing plant in the near future having an output of 100 tons per day. At the last meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, Major Graham requested authority to overdraw suffi­ ciently to establish this plant. Then the board required the commissioner to have the limestone where it was proposed to establish the crusher, analyzed by the state geological board before spending the extra money in •the erection of the plant. Major Graham has made public the analysis of the geological board, the state oil chemist and the bureau of soils, Washington. The geological board found the calcium carbonate contents of the lime to be, in five samples, 93.79 per cent; 93.34 per cent; 93.78 per cent; 97.54. per cent,, and 88.61 per cent. Mr. Plummer, the state oil chemist found samples submitted to him to contain 94.79 per cent; 95.68 per cent; 88.61 per cent. The bureau of soils found two sam­ ples to contain over 95 per cent. Major Grahaml-Who has made a pet of the state’s lime producing qualities fo| several years, is enthusiastic about the present prospect. In 1915, he persuaded the legislature to make provision for furnishing limte to the farmers of the state at cheaper rates. Under authority then, granted, the state secured control of lime deposits in Eastern North Carolina. STATE LIBRARIAN RETIRES ON ACCOUNT OF HEALTH.OLD NORTH STATE NEWS CAPT. MILES O. SHERRILL. No Vacant Land This Fall. Tt would be a wise move for every county in the state to adopt the motto of ’No Vacant Land This Fall,’ says Mr. S. G. Rubinow, Assistant Direc­ tor of the Agricultural Extension Ser­ vice. Where rye, wheat or oats will not be sown, other cover crops should be put in. Not only is such a step very patriotic but it is also very profit­ able. With wheat at $2 per bushel for next season and with a short rye and oat crop this past season and high prices likely to be obtained for these crops, there should be no doubt as to the financial end of the situation. But even more important than all that—with ammounia selling at $6 a unit in some cases, making a 10-4 fertilizer worth $40 to $45 a ton, cover crops this winter can assist materially in reducing the amount of nitrogenous material that should be used. The farmer can meet these high prices next spring by having a crop of nitro­ gen to plow under in the form of green manures rather than in the form of high pri.ced chemicals. The supply of these latter is also liable to be short during the cpming year, making them still harder to obtain by the average farmer. The farming public of the state re­ sponded, nobly during the past season I by increasing the acreage devoted to j food crops and they are now busy sav­ ing perishable food stuff. By eontin- jing these efforts throughout the win- ;ter, putting in land to fall grains, j planting winter gardens, and seeing that enough cover crops have been put in to do away with the nitrogen bill next season, they will again prove that they are most patriotic and thorough­ ly foresighted.” Work Without Compensation. The designation of persons to take appeals for the government to the dis­ trict boards in cases of exemption does not carry with it rental of of- fieeg or compensation, according to a ruling received by Director of Mili­ tary Enrollment J. J. Mackay, Jr., from the provost marshall general. The ruling follows: “Number 3160. Reference person designated to take appeals. It was not contemplated th a t. this designa­ tion should carry rental of offices or compensation. Where in your opin­ ion there is sufficient work to justfy clerical assistance, such assistance will be allowed on your recommenda­ tion. Reference first sentence, sec­ tion 25, regulations, wherever infor­ mation is laid before person designat­ ed, indicating that claims of exemp­ tion or discharge before the local board are unmeritorious this person may inform the local board, or if the case has already been decided, should tak6 an appeal. He should also take appeals in cases where he thinks the government’s interests have suffered by the action of the board. He should consider himself rather as one work­ ing in co-operation with the board than as an attorney appearing before it The hoards are not courts and their procedure is not controversal. Of course, appeals must be taken in all dependency cases.” Investigate Miners Death. Deputy Mine Inspector T. P. Browne, of Commissioner Shipman’s office, returned to the city after a trip to Eldorado, in Montgomery county, where he went to investigate for his department the fatal accident at the Rich-Cog mine on August 7, re­ sulting in the death of Griff Parrish, one of the miners. According to his report, the accident was in no manner chargeable to the neglect of the min­ ing concern. Parrish, it seems, was under ground some distance when he fell from a rope and landed on the 460 foot level, 120 feet above bottom.

The name of ; this concern is the Beaufort Ship- ' building Company and it began busi- ■ ness without any flourish of trumpets I or the usual brass band methods of publicity that accompany the launch­ ing of important ventures.

Idle land in winter means that the soil is being exhausted both winter and summer—in summer by growing crops and in winter by the rains leach­ ing out valuable plant food, is the thought being put before the county agricultural agents by C. R. Hudson. There is an economic necessity that all agricultural lands in the state have some growing crops on them this fall and winter hut the reason that most North Carolina soils sadly need a 'good content of humus is one of the most important from the standpoint of the farmer who want sto keep the fertility of his land to the highest point. Humus comes from decayed vegeta­ ble or animal matter and from that only. Cover crops In the winter are one of the best agencies for supplying this organic matter. This in turn is a plant food and helps to make "other foods available for the plants. It also improves the physical condition of the soil. These cover crops also wUl this year help in the production of cheap feeds for livestock. Concentrates and grain feeds of all kinds are going to be high in price, scarce, and much needed by humans. Where there is home grow­ ing crop, a good reduction may be made in the amount of grain feeds given. In most cases the animals may be put on a half ration of grain when this is supplemented by a green grow­ ing crop. Permitting the soil to lie idle thru the winter is equal to robbing it of valuable humus. This is because the rains take pleasure in removing all soluble material. In mild climates like that which prevails in our state during the winter, bacterial activity goes on uninterrupted eqcept in cases of extremely cold weather, these bac­ teria turn all available supplies into a form that makes them easily dissolv­ ed by rain water, and carried water. If there was a growing crop to take this material up, it could be turned in to the soil next year in a concentrated form by plowing under the crop or feeding it to animals as pasturage.

His duty will be to administer the provi­ sions of the Lever Food Control Act so far as they apply to internal state matters and to coordinate the state j food activities, either official or vol­ untary such as the state councils of defense, with the federal food admin­ istration. Building of the Central Carolina Railroad at ah early date from Lilling- totn to Mount Olive seems practically assured. John Robert Baggett, ex­ state senator, now a Lillington lawyer, has taken up the work where it was' dropped by the sudden death of Capt. W. J. Edwards, its original promoter, and announces that enough capital has been subscribed to assure the road’s buUding at least to Mount Olive.

The sending of eighteen men away from Burke to chaingangs of other countie-., when Burke's own roads are desperately in need of work, has creat­ ed a sentiment so strong that it is practically a demand on the county commissioners to establish a chain- gang in Burke. Thirty-seven carloads of coal were nm in on a siding at Salisbury. The coal was In transit to dealers but is being held by the railroad and,' it is said, will be confiscated and used by ♦he company’s engines. ' : Charlotte.

The murmur turned to a howl of derision and chal­ lenge. They were nothing more nor !ess than Souths, masquerading in the uniforms of soldiers. • What orders?” inquired Callomb briefly, joining Samson ’ the store. “Demand surrender once more—then take the courthouse and jail ” was the short reply. Callomb himself went forward with the flag of truce. He shouted his mes­ sage and a bearded man came to the courthouse door. “Tell ’em,” he said without redun­ dancy, “thet we’re all here. Come an’ git us.” Tlie officer went back and distribut­ ed his forces under such cover as of­ fered itself about the four walls. Then a volley was fired over the i oof and in­ stantly the two buildings In the public square awoke to a volcanic response of rifle fire. AU day the duel between the streets and county buildings went on with desultory intervals of quiet and wild outbursts of musketry.- The troops were firing as sharpshooters, and the courthouse, too, had its sharpshooters. When a head showed itself at a barri­ caded window a report from the out­ side greeted it. Samson was every­ where, his rifle smoking and hot-bar­ reled. His life seemed protected by a talisman. Yet most of the firing, after the first hour, was from- within. The troops were, except for occasional pot shots, holding their fire. There was neither food nor water inside the build- ill “We Lays Down.” ing, and at last night closed and the cordon grew tighter to prevent escape. The Hollmans, like rats in a trap, gri mly held on, realizing that it was to be a siege. On the following morning a detachment of “F” company arrived, dragging two gatling guns. The Holl- nians saw them detraining, from their lookout in the courthouse cupola, and, realizing that tfie end had come, re­ solved upon a desperate sortie. Simul­ taneously every door and lower win­ dow of the courthouse burst open to discharge a frenzied rush of men, fir­ ing as they came. They meant to fight their way out and leave as many hos­ tile dead as possible in their wake. Their one chanc6 now was to scatter before the machine guns came into ac­ tion. They came like a flood of hu­ man lava and their guns were never silent, as they bore down on the barri­ cades. where the single outnumbered company seemed insufficient to hold them. But the new militiamen, look­ ing for reassurance not so much to CaIlonib as to the granite-like face of Samson South, rallied and rose with a )'cll to meet them on baiyonet and smoking muzzle., The rush wavered, fell back, desperately rallied, then broke in scattered remnaints for the shelter of the building. Old Jake Hollman fell near the door, and his grandson, rushing out, picked up his fallen rifle and sent farewell defiance from it as he, too, threw up both arms and dropped. ■ Then a white flag wavered at a win­ dow and, as the newly arrived troops halted in the street, the noise died sud­ denly to quiet Samson w< t out to meet a man who opened the door and said shortly: “We lays down.” Judge Hollman, who had not partici­ pated, turned from the slit in his shut­ tered window, through which he had since the beginning been watching the conflict “That ends it!” he said, with a de­ spairing shrug of his shoulders. He picked up a magazine pistol which lay on his table and, carefully counting down his chest to the fifth rib, placed the' muzzle against his breast. CHAPTER XVII. Before the mountain roads were mired with the coming of the Tains, and while the air held its sparkle of autumnal zestfulness, Samson South wrote to YVilford Horton that if he still meant to come to the hills for his inspection of coal rnd timber the time was ripe. Soon men would appear bearing transit and chain, drawing a line which a railroad was to follow to Misery and across it to the heart of untouched forests and coal-fields. With that wave of innovation would come the speculators. Besides, Samson’s fingers were itching to be out in the hills with a palette and sheaf of brushes in the society of George Les- cott. . For a while after the battle at Hixon the county had lai:< in a torpid paraly­ sis of dread. Many illiterate feudists on each side remembered the directing and exposed figure of* Samson South seen through eddies of gun smoke, and believed him immune from death. With Purvy dead and Hollman the vic­ tim of'his own hand, the backbone of the murder syndicate was broken. Its heart had ceased to beat. Those Holl­ man survivors who bore the potentiali­ ties for leadership had not only signed pledges of peace, but were afraid to break them; and the ’ triumphant Souths, instead of vaunting their vic­ tory, had subscribed to the doctrine of order and declared the war over. Souths who broke the law were as speedily arrested as Hollmans. Their boys were drilling as militiamen and —wonder of wonders!—inviting the sons of the enemy to join them. Of course, these things changed gradual­ ly, but the beginnings of them were most noticeable in the first few months,' just as a newly painted and renovated house is more conspicuous than one that has long been respecta­ ble. Hollman’s Mammoth Department Store passed into new h.ands, and traf­ ficked only in merchandise, and the town was open to the men and women of Misery as veil as those of Cripple- shin. These things Samson had explained in his letters to the Lescotts and Hor­ ton. Men from down below could still find trouble in the wink of an eye, by seeking it, for under all transformation the nature r ' the individual remained much the same; but, without seeking to give offense, they could ride as se­ curely through the hills as through the streets of a policed city—and meet a readier hospitality. • And. when these things were dis­ cussed and the two men prepared to cross the Mason-and-Dixon line and visit the Cumberlands, Adrienne promptly and definitely announced that she would accompany her brother. No argument was effective to dissuade her, and after all, Lescott, who had been there, saw no good reason why she should not go with him. At Hixon, they found that receptive air of serenity which made the history of less than three months ago seem paradoxical and fantastically unreal. Only about the courthouse square where numerous small holes in frame walls told of fusillades, and in the in­ terior of the building itself where the woodwork was scarred and torn, and the plaster freshly patched, did they find grimly reminiscent evidence. Samson had not met them at the town, because he wished their first im­ pressions of his people to reach them uninfluenced by his escort It was a form of the mountain pride—an hon­ est resolve to soften nothing, and make no apologies. But they found arrange­ ments made for horses and saddlebags, and the girl discovered that for her had been provided a mount as evenly gaited as any in her own stables. When she and her two companions came out to the hotel porch to start, they found a guide waiting, who said he was instructed to take them as far as the ridge, where the sheriff himself would be waiting, and tbe cavalcade struck into the hills. Men at whose houses they paused to ask a dipper of water, or to make an inquiry, gravely advised that they “had better ’light and stay all night.” In the coloring for­ ests, squirrels scampered and scurried out of sight, and here and there on the tall slopes they saw., shy-looking chil­ dren regarding th'em with inquisitive eyes. The guide led them silently, gazing in frank amazement, though with defer­ ential politeness, at this girl in cord­ uroys, who r o d e cross-saddle, and rode so Well. Yet, it was evident that he would have preferred talking had not diffidence restrained him. He was a young man and rajther handsome in a shaggy, unkempt way. Aoross one cheek ran a long scar still red, and the girl, looking into his clear, intelli­ gent eyes, wondered what that scar stood for. Adrienne had the power of melting masculine diffidence, and her smile as she rode at his side, and asked, "What is your name?” brought an answering smile to his grim lips. “Joe Hollman, ma’am,” he answered; and the girl gave an involuntary start The two men who caught the name closed up the gap between the horses, with suddenly piqued interest ■ “Hollman!” exclaimed the girl. ‘‘Then’ you—” she stopped and flushed. "I beg your pardon," she 8aid, quickly. “That’s all right,” reassured the man. “I know what ye’re a-thinkin’, but I hain’t takin’ no offense. The high sheriff sent me over. I’m one of his deputies.” “Were you”—she paused, and added rather timidly—“were you in the court­ house?” He nodded, and with a brown fore­ finger traced the scar on his cheek. "Samson South dqne that thar with his rifle-gun,” he enlightened. “He’s a funny sort of feller, is Samson South.” “How?” she asked. “Wall, he licked us, an’ licked us so plumb damn hard we was skeered ter fight ag’in, an’ then, ’stid of tramplin’ on us, he turned right ’round, an’ made me a deputy. My brother’s a corporal In this hyar new-fangled mi- lishy. I reckon this time the peace is goin* ter last. Hit’s a mighty funny way ter act, but ’pears like it works all right.” Then, at the ridge, the girl’s heart gave a sudden bound, for there at the highest point, where the road went up and dipped again, waited the mounted figure of Samson South, and, as they came into sight, he waved hie felt hat and rode down to meet them.- “Greetings!” he shouted. Then, as he leaned over and took Adrienne's hand, he added: “The Goops send you their welcome.” His smile was .un­ changed, but the 'girl noted that his hair had again grown long. Finally, as the sun was setting, they reached a roadside cabin, and the mountaineer said briefly to the .other men: “You fellows ride on. I want Dren- nie to stop with me a moment. We’ll join you later." Lescott nodded. He remembered the cabin of the Widow Miller, and Hor­ ton rode with him, albeit grudgingly. Adrienne sprang lightly to the ground, laughingly rejecting Samson’s assistance, and came with him to the top of a stile, from which he pointed to the log cabin, set back in its small yard, wherein geese and chickens picked industriously about In the sandy earth. A huge poplar and a great oak nodded to each other at either side of the door, and over the walls a clam­ bering profusion of honeysuckle vine contended with a mass of wild grape, in joint effort to hide the white chink­ ing between the dark logs. From the crude milk-benches to the sweep of the well, every note was one of neat­ ness and rustic charm. SjJowly, he said, looking.straight into her eyes: “This is Sally’s cabin, Drennie.” He watched her expression, and her lips curved up in the same sweetness, of smile that had first captivated and helped to mold him. “It’s lovely!” she cried, with frank delight. “It’s a picture.” “Wait!” he commanded. Then, turn­ ing toward the house, he sent out the long, peculiarly mournful call of the whippoorwill, and, at the signal, the door opened, and on the threshold Adrienne saw a slender figure. She had called the cabin with its shaded dooryard a picture, but now she knew she had been wrong. It was only a background. It was the girl herself who made and completed the picture. She stood there in the wild simplicity that artists seek vainly to reproduce in posed figures. Her red calico dress was patched, but fell in graceful lines to her slim bare ankles, though the first faint frosts bad already fallen. Her red-brown hair hung loose and in masses about- the oval of a face In which the half-parted lips were dashes of scarlet, and the eyes large violet pools. She stood with her little chin tilted In a half-wild attitude of recon- n oi ter, as a fawn might have stood. One brown arm and hand rested on the door frame, and, as she saw the other woman, she colored adorably. Adrienne thought she had never seen so instinctively and unaffectedly, lovely a face or figure. Then the girl came down the steps and ran toward them. “Drennie,” said the man, “this is Sally. I want you two to love each other.” For an instant, Adrienne Les­ cott stood looking at the mountain girl, and then she opened both her arms. “Sally,” she cried, “you adorable child, I do love you!" The girl in the calico dress raised her face, and her eyes were glistening. “I’m obleeged ter ye,” she faltered. Then, with open and wondering ad­ miration she stood gazing at the first “fine lady” upon whom her glance had ever fallen. Samson'went over and took Sally’s hand. “Drennie,” he said, softly, “is there anything the matter with her?” Adrienne Lescott shook her head. • “I understand,” she said. ■ "I sent the others on,” he went on quietly, "because I wanted that first we three'should meet alone. George and Wilfred are> going to stop at my uncle’s house, but, unless you’d rather, have it otherwise, Sally wants you here.’.' “Do I stop now?” the girl asked. But the man shook his head. *“I want you to meet my other people .first.” As they rode at a walk.along the lit­ tle shred of road left to them, the inan turned gravely. “Drennie,” he began, “she waited for me, all those years. What I was helped to do by such splendid friends as you and your brother and Wilfred, she was back here trying to do for herself I told you back there, the night before I left that I was afraid to let myself question my feelings, toward you. Do yon remember?” She met his eyes, and 'fier own eyes were frankly smiling. “Yon were very complimentary, Samson,” she told him. "I warned you then that it was the moon talk­ing.” “No,” he said firmly, “it was not the moon. I have since then met that fear and analyzed it My feeling for you is the best that a man can have, the hon­ est worship of friendship. And,” he added, “I have analyzed your feeling for me, too, and, thank God! I have that same friendship from you] Haven’t I?” . For a moment, she only nodded; Vut her eyes were bent oh the road ahead of her. The man waited In tense silence. Then, she raised her face, and it was a face that smiled with the serenity of one who has wakened out of a troubled dream. "You will always have that, Samson, dear,” 6he assured him. “Have I enough of it, to ask you to do for her what you did for me? To take her and teach her the things she has the right to knoW?” "I'd love it,” she cried. And then she smlied, as she added: "She will be much easier to teach. She won’t be so stupid, and one of the thing's I shall teach her”—she paused, and added whimsically—“will be t(T make you cut your hair again." Blit, just before they drew up at the house of old Spicer South, she said: “I might as well make a clean breast of it, Samson, and give my vanity the punishment.it deserves. You had me in deep doubt." “About what?” “About—well, about us. I wasn’t quite sure that I wanted Sally to have you—that I didn’t need you myself. I’ve been a shameful little cat to Wil­ fred.” "But now—?” The Kentuckian broke off. ' “Now, I know that my friendship for you and my love for him have both had their acid test—and I am happier than I’ve ever been before. I’m glad we’ve been through it There are no doubts ahead. I’ve got you both.” • "About him," said Samson, thought­ fully. "May I tell you something which, although it’s a thing in your own heart, you have never quite known?” She nodded, and he went on. "The thing which you call fascina­ tion in me was really just a proxy. £ "I Want You Two to Love Each Other.” Drennie. You were liking qualities In me that were really his qualities. Just because you had known him only In gentle guise, his finish blinded you to his courage. Because he could turn ‘to woman the heart of a woman,’ you failed to see that under it was the ‘iron and fire.’ You thought you saw those qualities in me, because I wore my bark as shaggy as that scaling hickory over there. When he was get­ ting anonymous threats of death ev­ ery morning he didn’t mention them to you. He talked of teas and dances. I know his danger was real, because they tried to have me kill him—and if I’d been the man they took me for, I reckon I’d have done it. I was mad to my marrow that night—for a min­ ute. I don’t hold a brief for Wilfred, but I know that you liked me first for qualities which he has as strongly as I—and more strongly. He’s a braver man than I, becuse, though raised to gentle things, when you ordered him into the fight-he was there. He never turned back or flickered. I was raised on raw meat and gunpowder, but he went in without training.” The girl’s eyes grew grave and thoughtful, and for the rest of the way she rode in silence. There were transformations, too, in the house of Spicer South. Windows had been cut, and lamps adopted. It was no longer so crudely a pioneer abode. While they waited for dinner, a girl lightly crossed the stile, and came up to the house. Adrianne met her at the door, while Samson and Horton stood back,, waiting. Suddenly, Miss Lescott halted and regarded the newcomer in surprise. It was the same girl she had seen, yet a different girl. Her hair no longer fell In tangled masses. Her feet were no longer bare. Her dress, though simple, was charm­ ing, and, when she spoke, her Bnglish had dropped its half-illiterate peculiari­ ties, though the voice still held its bird-like melody. “Oh, Samson,” cried Adrienne, “you two have been deceiving me! Sally, you were making up, dressing the part back there, and letting me patronize you.” Sally’s laughter broke from her throat in a musical peal, but it still held the note of shyness, and it was Samson who spoke. "I made the others ride on, and I got Sally to meet you just as she was when I left her to go E ast” He spoke with a touch of the mountaineer’s over-sen­ sitive pride. “I wanted you first to see my people, not as they are going to be, but as they were. I wanted you to know how proud I am of them—just that way.” That evening, the four of them walked together over to the cabin of the Widow Miller. At the stile, Ad­ rienne Lescott turned to tbe girl and said: _ ' "I suppose this place is pre-empted. I’m going to take Wilfred down there by the creek, and leave you two alone.” Sally protested with mountain hos­ pitality, but even under the moon she once more colored adorably. Adrienne turned up the collar of her sweater around her throat, and, when she and the man who had waited, stood leaning on the rail of the footbridge, she laid a hand on his arm. “Has the water flowed by my mill, Wilfred?” she asked. • - “What do you mean?” His voice trembled. "Will you have anything to ask me when Christmas comes?” “If I can wait that long, Drennie," he told her. “Don’t wait, dear,” she suddenly ex­ claimed, turning toward him, and raising eyes that held his answer. Ask me now!” But the question which he asked was one that bis lips smothered as he pressed them against her own. Back where the poplar threw its sooty shadow on the road, two .figures sat close together on the top of a stile, talking happily in whispers. A girl raised her face, and the moon shone on the deepness*of her-eyes, as her lips curved in a trembling smile. “You’ve come back, Samson,” 6he said in a low voice, “but, if I’d known how lovely she was, I’d have given up hoping. I don’t see what made you come." Her voice dropped again into the tender cadence of dialect. “I couldn’t live withouten ye, Sam­ son. I jest couldn't do bit.” Would be remember when she had said that be­ fore? “I reckon, Sally," he promptly told her, “I couldn’t live withouten you, neither.” Then, he added, fervently, “I'm plumb dead shore I couldn’t ” THE END. TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON Here Is One Man Who Does Not Be­ lieve the World Will Give Up Sleep. Mr. Edison says sleep is a bad habit, and that we shall some day get over it.' Like drinking and smoking, it is to be among those things which we shall try in time to give up on the first of the year. He says people called him crazy when he said electricity would supplant all other motive power In transportation, and one therefore hesi­ tates to say that he is crazy about anything. However, we will hazard a guess that if he is off. his box any­ where, it is with respect to the pleas­ ant custom of indulging ourselves in a good sound snooze. How else we are to refresh ourselves from the day’s work we cannot imagine. The trouble with "this objection, as it applies to Mr. Edison, is that he doesn't think we are wearied by the day’s work. He and some of his associates worked at something for a given period of time 21 hours a day, and they all gained weight! He leads us to infer that It is what we do when we are not working that wearies us. Thinking over it briefly, we believe there is something In that. Probably half the things we do in our leisure.time is very hard work. The celebrated tired business man is only tired when his wife wants him to go out somewlnere after din­ ner. It is the opera ai d the fox trot that wear him out Still, think of giv­ ing up sleep! If it is a habit, it is a nice one. We have got some glimpses of what Mr. Edison means when We have tried to sleep in a chair car, but given a feather bed and a soft pillow, "we don’t get him at all. Last night, for Instance. Wasn’t the habit deli­ cious last night?—SL Louis Post-Dis­ patch. On Tolerance. At the German-American Chamber of Commerce in New York Dr. Adolph. Muller, an agent for the purchase of woolens, said: “A better spirit, a spirit of toler­ ance, is now manifesting itself. On the boat coming over a French shoe buyer and an English cloth buyer shared my table with me and we got on well.“ ‘Gentlemen,’ I said to those chaps one morning, ‘we Germans and you English and you French are not all thieves, vandals and murderers. With us it is like the dog riddle. “ ‘Why is a dog like a man?’ a boy asked. “ ‘Give it up,’ said another boy. ‘‘‘Because it’s bow-legged.’ “ ‘But,’ said the second boy, ‘all dogs are not bow-legged.’ ‘“ Well, neither are all men.’” Modern Method.' Apropos of an elderly Chicago bank­ er, whose wife had threatened to di­ vorce him on account of his affection for a beautiful stenographer of seven­ teen years, George Ade said: “A tragedy, this, of a not uncommon kind, a tragedy due to our modern business methods. The grand old merchant prince of the past used to take his pen in hand. Today, it seems, he takes his typewriter on hi3 knee.” Greatest Wind. Storm. Probably the greatest destruction by a wind storm was that wrought in Galveston, Tex.,' September 8, 1900, when 9,000 lives were lost and propew ty valued at $30,000,000 was suddenly destroyed. If there has ever been a worse storm we have no record of it WET MASH BEST FOR CHICKS Only Secret In Growing Fowls Is to Give Them WhatTheyReaIIy Like and Plenty of It. There is nothing, a growing chick; likes better than a nice, cool feed of wet mash. There is only one secret to' growin'g chicks and growing them rap-' idly, and that is to give them the feed! they like and give it t„o them, In such amounts as to satisfy the appetite and' as often as is necessary. For the first 12 weeks of the chick’s life the bird will stand considerable forcing, after which time the birds will have developed sufficient size of frame and strength of body with which to range and gather most of their own living. The following wet mash may well be fed from the third week to the twelfth, or for such time as is necessary to pro­ duce a good-sized broiler: Two pounds of bran, two pounds of cornmeal, two pounds of middlings, one pound of commercial meat scrap. This mash should be mixed with either skim milk, sweet milk, or sour milk. The latter is preferable. COVERING FOR SIH IN G HENS Combination NeBt Box and Runway Is Easily Constructed—Roof Should Be Three Feet Wide. Take this nest box and runway com­ bination by using five I by 12 boards to make the frame and partitions. Place these I by 12s from 18 to 24 inchep apart, according to the width wanted for nests and runways. The roof for the nests should take up about three feet of space; that is, in width. The remainder of the space Is covered with chicken netting over the runways. The roof of the boxes Is made as shown In the diagram, writes Mrs. Maggie L. Long of Hammond, Okla., in Farm Progress. The back half of the roof is hinged, and this may be left open and used by laying hens until the time comes to put them on eggs. . When used for sitting hens, the door is closed and food and water placed In the runways through an opening In the netting, where it is W f l IlfIIl Nest Boxes and Runways. lifted at the end of the runs. The hens are not turned out during the period when the eggs are incubating. The eggs will hatch much better and the whole job is much less trouble. This can be moved and cleaned easily, and the chicks can be kept here for some time after hatching. MARKET FOR SURPLUS EGGS No Better Method Than to Organize Co-Operative Club—Get In Touch With County Agent. To secure the best prices for sur­ plus eggs or poultry, there is no better' method than to organize In your community co-operative egg and poultry clubs. By getting In touch with the county demonstration agent you can secure valuable assistance, not only In organizing, but after­ wards, In finding good markets for all your products. Make sure that the club’s rules provide for thorough grading and packing, live up to the rules and your marketing troubles will be over. PLAN FOR PRESERVING EGGS Cheapest and Most Successful Method Is Water Glass—Place Solution In Cool Place. The most successful and cheapest method of preserving eggs is In water glass (sodium silicate). One gallon of sodium silicate, about 50 cents’ worth,, will, when added to 15 times as much water, which has been boiled and cooled, be enough to preserve 50 dozen eggs. The solution should be prepared and put In the vessels In a cool place, then the eggs added as they are gathered. There should be at least two inches of solution covering the eggs. CRACKED GRAINS FOR FOWLS Less Trouble to Purchase Prepared Feeds Where but Few Chickens Are Kept—Look for Grit.. \ When one has only a few chickens, It is less trouble to purchase the pre­ pared chick feeds, but where a con­ siderable number . are reared it is • sometimes cheaper to buy the finely - cracked grains and mix them together. • Some chick feeds contain a large quan- I tity of grit and may contain grains of - poor quality, so that they should be I carefully examined and guarantee as j to quality secured before purchase. . j 13023764 1 THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSyiLLE, N.

Same Old Lectures. On a certain occasion Professor Brauder SIutrhews of Columbia uni­ versity, speaking jokingly of his age, said he trusted that he was not so old that the students could play on him the trick he once saw tried on a senior professor in his own college days. “Professor Blank,” he said, “was our most venerable instructor, and he could be just a little irritable at times. Once, noticing that a member of his class who sat right under his eye never took any uotes or paid the slightest attention to his lectures, he stopped abruptly and demanded: “ ‘See here, young man, what do you mean by coining into my classroom day after day and never taking notes?’ “ ‘I have my father’s,’ was the stu­ dent’s complacent reply.”—Youth’s Companion. [ IVALUE OF FARM WOODLOTS EMPHASIZED (From the TJnited States Bepartment of lots to decrease. At the same Ume Agriculture.) woodlot products increase in price and Contrary to general opinion, the farm woodlots Of the country not only furnish immense amounts of material for local use, but are important sources of supply for timber for the general market, says an espert of the forest service In a new publication of the department of agriculture, on “The Status and Value of Farm Woodlots in the Eastern United States.” Much of the choice hickory, ash, and white oak now In use comes from farm wood­ lots. Many woodlots contain. timber every bit as good as that In the larger tracts and fully as capable of yielding high-grade lumber, if properly sawed and seasoned. Others have large quan­ tities of pulpwood suitable for paper making, low-grade lumber for boxes, belts for slack and tight cooperage, and excellent material for veneer. In 1909, it Is stated, the farmers of the Eastern states alone received from the sale of their woodlot products an average of $81 for each reporting farm, or nearly $170,000,000. This was more than the value of the entire potato crop, nearly double that of the tobacco crop, and more than twice that of the combined barley and rye crops. In that year there were more than 143,- 000,000 acres of farm woodlands in the .value of the woodlots themselves is more generally recognized. Because it Is a convenient source of firewood and other material, the high­ est direct value of the woodlot, It is stated, is to the local communities. The farmers use more of the woodlot products than they sell. Much of the material which is sold is consumed in the neighborhood and many small ve- 1 neer, cooperage, and .other wood-work­ ing plants derive their entire supply from local woodlots. , Pevelopment of Woodlots. -I It is pointed out that there is every incentive for communities to en­ courage the development of local woodlots and thereby protect them­ selves from future timber scarcity and high prices. With proper treatment woodlots can be made to yield a reve- j nue to individual owners, but the na­ ture of the crop is such that owner-' ship of relatively large areas is neces­ sary to insure annual supplies of the various kinds of timber required for local consumption. Community owner­ ship of woodlands, as already prac­ ticed by about CO cities in the country, . will oftentimes make available the necessary land.

Where agriculture is In the pioneer­ ing state, it Is pointed out, the sale of wood very often enables the farmer to tide over the first years during which he has not enough land In cultivation to support him. In later .years the woodlots furnishes material for use on the farm, and if taken care- of may prove a valuable source of revenue. As settlement becomes intensive and the value of land advances, there»is a tendency for the area devoted to wood- PEACH TREE BORERS QUITE DESTRUCTIVE Nearly AU Sprays and W ashes Are of Little Value in De­ stroying Little Insect. The owners of peach orchards In the eastern half of the United States have found that the peach tree borer Is the most • destructive insect with which they have to contend. Experi­ enced entomologists say that nearly all sprays and washes, as well as mechanical protectors, are of little or no value In destroying the peach tree borer. What little good these agencies do will not half cover the expense of their use. During the winter the borer lives in the larva state a few inches below the level of the soil, in a deep burrow under the bark of the tree. When warm spring days come, it feeds upon the tender growing tissues beneath the bark and causes a sickly condition of the tree. If a sufficient number of the borers infest one tree they will soon kill it. To kill the borer, remove the soil early in the spring when not frozen and cut away the larvae. They can be located by the exuding gum or saw­ dust where they work. A sharp knife should be used for the work, and the ground replaced and left until the mid­ dle of September. This will prevent eggs being laid in the same places. This cutting can be done twice a year, In the late fall and early spring. MOST DIFFICULT OF INSECTS TO CONTROL Amount of D am age Done by Corn E ar W orm Can Be Reduced by Use of Poisoned D ust. It pays to combat the' oorn-ear worm, In‘the opinion of J. W. McCuUochi as­ sistant entomologist In the EAnsas ex­ periment station. '' Guaranteed worm- free roasting ears sell for 5 cents a dozen more on the market than other corn.‘ “The com-ear worm has long been recognized as one of the most difficult of the staple crop pests, to control,” said Mr; McCulloch, “but the amount and yield good’returns on the invest­ ment they represent. The Swiss city of Zurich, for example, derives about $20,000 per year from a woodlot of 2,500 acres. Protection and Shelter. In addition to the actual money re­ turns, the trees on the farm have a value for protection and shelter which will often justify their preservation and care. Both live stock and crops benefit by the protection from hot, drying winds afforded by a woodlot, while in winter even a small woodlot will do much toward increasing the comfort of farm life by breaking the force of cold winds and storms. of injury can be greatly reduced by thorough dusting of the silks with powdered arsenate of lead. “The eggs of the corn-ear worm are laid on the silks. When the eggs hatch the larvae work down into the ear and feed' on the silks and kernels. The average number of ears of corn in­ jured by this pest in Kansas during the siz years preceding 1915 ranged from 85 to 95 per cent. In the year 1915 at the experiment - station the damage was reduced to 63 per cent by dusting the silks with powdered ar­ senate of lead, and on ears.that were injured the damage was so slight as to be almost negligible. In almost ev­ ery case only one or two grains were .injured on each ear, and the usual molds and fungi which accompany corn-ear wdrm work were not present. The normal grain damage is S to 5 per cent on field corn and 10 per cent on sweet corn where the silks are not dusted, while it is only I or 2 per cent where they are dusted. “Silks should be kept dusted from the time they appear until dry. The preparation consists of three parts of powdered arsenate of IeaS and one part sulphur. Lime' or flour may be substituted for the sulphur. Five or six applications should be made. “Wormy corn is not very salable. Boasting ears that are guaranteed worm free sell for 5 cents a dqzen more than other com products. With an average yield this would mean a net profit of $12 per acre for treated fields. “The cost of dusting is prohibitive where corn is raised for grain.or for­ age, but is profitable where grown for roasting-ears, show purposes, or seed.” CHECKING GROWTH OF HORNS Caustle Potash Properly Applied Will Prove Satisfactory—Be Care-., ful of Hands.

Boys Asked To Plant One Acre In Grain. The same boys who helped to in­ crease North Carolina’s corn pro­ duction to the acre are going to be asked to aid in another effort to still farther increase food produc­ tion in the state. The growing of corn in a scientific way. according to instructions from the North Caro­ lina College of Agriculture and the North Carolina state department of Agriculture, was not a popular method among farmers generally until son began to beat father in production. It is expected that the same will be true when the boys be­ gin to put in an acre of wheat, or oats, or rye. Mr. A. K. Robertson tells the News and Observer that if the pres­ ent plans are carried out, all of the 7.600 club members now enrolled by the agriculture extensions service will be asked to put in an acre of some winter growing food crop. Wheat, oats and rye offer the best field for the boy who has been grow­ ing corn. Rape, combinations of oats and vetch, rye and vetch, or oats and clover, will appeal to the boy in the pig club, who has a herd of pigs to feed during the winter. Quite a number of boys have been asked about the matter, and all have spoken very1* enthusiastically a- boutit. Many of them will begin work as-soon as they can have the acre. With the majority of the counties in North Carolina equipped with a country agricultural agent, and with the aid this agent can give in moblizing the voung Tar Heel farmers’ for this coming program of food production, older farmers will soon begin to catch the same inspiration for wheat and small grain growing as they did for scien­ tific corn production—Ex. Quaker’s Part In War. “A Quaker who will take ad­ vantage of the exemption and sit down and do nothing and will not do as much or more than, the one who bears arms in the trenches, is a “Quaker Slacker.” This was the statement of Walter C Wood­ ward of Richmond, Ind., secretary of the Five Year Meeting of the Friends in America and acting edi­ tor of The American Friend, the organ of the Quaker Church, speak­ ing before the Yearly Meeting of Friends at Guilford College, as re­ ported by the Greensboro News. The subject of Mr. Woodward’s address was *• Loyalty” and he urged the Quakers to speak out for democracy. With no little emphasis be said .that while the government had honored all the Quakers by allowing them exemp­ tion from military service, its hav ing done so made the responsibility all the greater on • them to do as much or more than the fellow who carries the gun, and to do less, be would be a ‘ Quaker slacker. While the Quaker Church op­ poses war and the attitude of the denomination is so well.recognized that its members are excused from military service, it should be un­ derstood that real Quaker recogni zes a duty to the country. While he may not bear arms he can ren­ der a service eqally. as important as the man in the trenches. NUMBER 7 Looking After Qur Own Trash. In the police court yesterday, aB announced in this paper, a white woman was convicted of conduct­ ing a disorderly house and senteced to 30 days in the workhouse. The court decided that if she would pay the cost in the caBe and leave the city by the —th of August and not return for a period of one year she could escape the sentence im­ posed. T hisisa custom which baB ob­ tained for many years, and Judge Jones in following it is not be cen­ sured. But, in all candor, why let a woman who was conducting a disorderly house—and in this it was a very disorderly house, if all reports are true—go free to con­ tinue her traffiic in another town? Why the dead cat into the* neigh­ bor’s back yard? Why not punish her for her wrong doing! Why not send her to the work house for a period of time and theh, if she will agree to leave, give her a chance to go. This would be the presumption that the punishment given her might suggest to her that she should reform and lead a dif­ ferent life—not- repeat her offease against Societiey. But to find her guilty and send her to continue her chore in auotiier. town, with­ out punishment for what she did, not the best way in the world to punish law breakers. . Suppose we find a man guilty of theft and tell him that if he will leave town and not come back we will send him on to another town, where be-will be able to rob somebody else. This custom, and it has been long obtained of throwing old tin cans and dead cats into other peo pie’s back yards is 'not puite the thing. This is in a general way, for the custm obtains in all towns. But it Bhould not obtain.—Every­ thing. One Way Ont.

He didn’t get past the first day. The follow­ ing item appeared in the Monday ’s issue and now the boyB are getting out the paper. This is what he said and he told the truth too. i “Married—Miss Sylves Rhodes to James Callahan, last Sunday' evening at the Congregationalist Strange Animal Is Killed In David- ing and never helped her mother three days, in her life. She is not a beauty by no means and she has a gait like a duck. The groom is an up to-date loafer, has ,been liv­ ing off the old folkB all his life and don’t amount to shucks anyhow. Tbey will have a hard life while they live together.”—Ex. son. The animal which has done much damage in vicinity of Enterprise, Davidson county, has at last been killed. Early Sunday morning the beast was sighted by -Mr. Frank Tesh and the neighborhood was at once aroused for another raid. The animal was followed and killed bv Mr. Arthur Lee Leonard and g colored man by the name of Nathan Benbow. The beast has been raiding the church. The bride waB an ordin- hen roosts of the countryside for the ary town girl, who don’t know * last six or eight weeks, during which anymore than a rabbit about cook- tIme It Is estimated that it has killed at least 800 chickens. The raid at one place is said to have resulted in the. death of 125 chickens. The beast has been sighted several times before, but always at night so that its nature could not be deter­ mined. and so that it could not be followed. Many chases after it have been made but they have always been ineffectual heretofore. The last one previous to that of this morning was on Friday night. Mr. Geo. Tesh caught the animal oh a raid on his hen coop and fired twice at it, but the darkness prevented damage to the marauder. The nature of the beast has not been determined exactly. It has the appearance of a fine shepherd dog, with some characteristics of a wolf. However, none of the latter species inhabit this country and so its origin nature are veiled in mys­ tery. One theory as to its nature is as follows; It is reported that sev eral years ago a man had five or six wolves shipped to this section, hop­ ing to breed them with dogs and en- yolve a better dog. The wolves were such a menace that part of them were killed. The others es­ caped.and; some who viewed the I animal think it'to Be across be­ tween a wolf and some breed of dog. However, this is all merely a surmise, arid cannot be stated as a fact.—Ex Alliance Sound On War.

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX. . EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEE. What are you doing, to prove your loy­ alty to the Government? We print below the personal letter of our brother in Idaho: I am just back after a week spent at Albion working on the draft. The Govern­ ment has placed a great amount of work on us,, which, together with my Red Cross work, keeps me moving. The I. W. W. s, or as we'call them. "I won’t works” -are threatening to call a general strike on the 20th; but “the peo­ ple” are little disposed to stand any of their foolishness. Did you notice that every Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast state is on the Honor Roll with ail quotas fillled and running over? I have been disgusted, however, to see how some well to-do citizens have been turning heaven and earth upside down to get their ex­ empted from the draft. Boys .,who have been a continual burden to their parents now appear as the sole supporters of their poor old fathers and mothers, while young wives are filing affidavits for exemption of their husbands, when they are worth twelve and fifteen thousand dollars. It reminds me of the sudden attck of in­ flammatory rheumatism contracted by some in Civil War days. I am glad that Willie’s boy. has gone. (The twenty year old son of our brother in Brazil, B. M. L.) I’d go myself if I could, for it is the duty of every man, any self respect or care for humanity, to play his part. I have lately got so much authoritative and detailed information a- bout the unspeakable conduct of German soldiers and officers, that I must ask: What will they do when the judgement is judgment is pronounced”—Even as ye have done it unto the least of these?” I look at my own lovely babies and think of what their prototypes have suffered at the hands of Kultus! Surely this war will make us savages or better people. T. BAILEY LEE. Just as this letter came, we were laugh­ ing at the shrewd comment of a Mocks­ ville colored woman: “It makes me sick to hear niggers whose wives have been supporting them for years a-saying that ort to be let off from the army to support their helpless wives? It makes us sick for the white people to spend - their days whining over the hard times upon which we have fallen, instead of rallying to the support of the ^Government. Any fool can critize. It is the part of wisdom to help. We can not express our contempt for any man who makes a living off the Government and scatters seeds of treason among the weak and the ignorant. As far a woman who approves of such de- magognery, and expects the protection of the stars and stripes—well, she is be­ neath contempt. "Say not the days are evil—whose to blame?—And fold the hands and acquiesce—O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s name.” Some Things Gf Interest. The following facts regarding the the Textile Industry of North Caro­ lina will dp doubt interest our read­ ers. This Industry is one of the most important in the South, and has been a powerful factoa in the South’s de­ velopment. Standing out promin­ ently are the following facts: First—more cotton mills in North Carolina than in any other- State in the South Second—The largest Towel Manu­ facturing Company in the world. Third—One of the largest Denim mills in tne world. - , Fourth—One of the largest Jae quaid Table Govermillsin America. Fifth—One of the best Textile Schools in America i^tiich is known as the Textile Department of the State College, Raleigh. North .Caro- lint. ' Added to these facts we are sure our readers will also be interested in the success of some of the graduates of the Textile School who are help­ ing to build up the Textile Industry of the State.

WILSON MODIFIES RULES LOAN TO THE SLAVS TO AMERICA REAFFIRMS FAITH FUTURE OF NEW RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY. IN ^RE T9 REPLACE NEW ENGLAND TROOPS—OFFICE RE EXPECT­ ED TO ARRIVE SOON. LANSING IS NOW OPTIMISTIC ARRIIfE AGOUT SEPTEMBER 10 AT WASHINGTON—MOST IMPORT ANT PROBLEM FACED IS DIS­ POSITION OF SHIPS. TO ASK E OF dears Up Contested Points.—Orders For Mobilization of Ftrst Inerement Changed and Experienced Men Will Be Taken First. Washington.—At the direct-sugges­ tion of President Wilson, Provost Marshal General Crowder telephoned to all governors a supplemental ex­ planation of regulations governing Hie status of merried men. under the draft law. No change in regulation is made, and the purpose of the state­ ment is to clear up misunderstand­ ings. In a letter to Secretary Baker, quoted by General Crowder, President Wilson states his opinion that the regulation directing local boards “to establish the fact of dependents in addition to the fact of marriage ought not to be abrogated.” This leaves the regulations as they are and the supplementary statement is designed merely to make the application of the rules uniform. While the statement regarding mar­ ried men was in preparation orders were issued changing' entirely the mobilization arrangements previously made. Congestion of rail traffic and the necessity of making better pro­ vision for receiving the men at the' cantonments dictated the changes. Under the new orders, five per cent of the white men, preferably those with military experience, from each local area, will be started forward to the camps September 5 instead of thirty per cent. They will go in five dally detachments of equal size and form skeleton company organization and set up a going concern into which the remander of the total quota can be absorbed without confusion as they reach the contohments. The next forty per cent of the quota will go forward September 19, when the second thirty per cent originally was scheduled to go; a second forty per cent will go forward October 3 instead of the third thirty per cent and the remaining fifteen per cent will be called up as soon thereafter as practicable. Local boards are directed to disre­ gard order of liability- numbers to some extent in selecting the first five per cent as men of experience such as cooks and former soldiers are desired at that time. Warning is given against getting into this levy by reas­ on of his experience, any man who might get otherwise have been includ­ ed in the first increment of the dis­ trict at all. Secretary of State Makes Public Note Renewing Wilson’s Sympathy and Confidence.—Money for Supplies and EquipmenL - Between 30,000 and 40,000 Soldiers to Train at Charlotte—Men Coming From Washington, Oregon, Wyom­ ing and Montana. Washington.—The United States re­ affirmed its faith in the new Russian democracy and gave concrete evidence Of its confidence by loaning another hundred* million dollars to the provi­ sional government. Announcement of the loan came from the treasury soon after Secre­ tary Lansing at the state department toad denied formally that reports from Russia were of an unfavorable nature and declared that on the contrary con­ fidential dispatches to"the government were the basis for his belief that the administration at Petrograd was strengthening its position. ‘ ' “I regard the government of Rus­ sia as stronger today than it has been for a month,” Mr. Laming said. . “I mean in general, both from political and military points of view. This opin­ ion i based upon reports more or less confidential that we have been get­ ting." So far as the military situation is concerned the secretary said he felt little concern over the advance upon Riga .by the Germans recalling that the place had been evacuated five times during the war. Major General Scott, chief of staff, who was a mem­ ber of the Root commission, agreed that the capture of Riga would not be an important strategical loss. A German advance upon Petrograd from Riga would be followed by removal of the seat of government to Moscow, seat of the conservatives upon whom the allies are counting to maintain a firm - republican government and the city looked upon by million ■ of Rus­ sians as the natural capital of their country. In addition to his statement Secre­ tary Lansing made public a note he had just sent to Ambassador Bakmet- eff replying to a message of assurance from Foreign Minister Tereschtenko.

The battle along the Isonzo, has de­ veloped further brilliant successes for the Italians, who it is now plain are making one of their greatest efforts of the war thus far. General Cadorna’s men, who at the beginning of the offensive effected a new crossing of the river north of Go- rizia, at a point where the Anstriahs believed such a feat was impossible, have won another spectacular victory by scaling Monte Sano, 2,245 "feet high and placing their-flag there. Farther south, on the Carso, fight­ ing continues violently and incessant­ ly. Austrian efforts to win back lost positions were defeated. New gains have been made by the French in the Verdun front, rounding out the victory won in the offensive begun oh Monday. The French ad­ vanced last night north of Hill 304, Paris announces, and captured three fortified forts near Bethincourt, the official German statement however, says French attacks between Malan- court and Bethincourt, as well as near Hill 304, east of the Meiise, were re­ pulsed. Houston, Texas.—Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry, who shot up the streets of Houston, were be­ ing entrained to be removed to Colum­ bus, N. M. Capt L. S. Snow, commanding the battalion, said that the action of the negroes was “practically mutiny.” A scene probably unique In the an­ nals of the United States army was enacted at Camp Logan during, the afternoon when, the six, hundred sol­ diers of the battalion of negro infan­ try were disarmed. - . , .Flanked by a full battalion of the Nineteenth infantry under CoL Mil­ lard F. Waltz and three,.companies of the coast artillery from Fort Crock­ ett, the negro soldiers , were marched four abreast to the parade grounds where their arms were stacked.

Washington.—Bituminous coal pric­ es were fixed by President Wiison for every mine in the United States. The next step In coal control, a white house announcement said, Will be to fix the prices to be charged by middle men and retailers. Prices were set on cost of produc­ tion estimates furnished by the fed­ eral trade commission after months of exhaustive investigation; The coun­ try is divided into twenty-nine dis­ tricts an devery producer in a dis­ trict will market his output at the same price'. The President appointed no agency to carry out the provisions of his or­ der but is expected to appoint soon a coal administer Who will be given en­ tire control of the coal Industry. Ru­ mor indicated President H. A. Gar­ field of Williams college as the man. Mr. Garfield now heads a committee named by the President to fix a gov­ ernment price for wheat. His Worlt will end before September I, When the wheat committee probably will be dissolved. Prices fixed -for run-of-mine coal in the large producing districts average slightly mpre than $2. In a few dis tricts they are below that figure and in the western territory they are high­ er. Washington state is highest with $3.25. Wilson’s Statement The President’s statement said: “The following scale of prices is prescribed for bituminous coal at the mine in several producing districts. It is provisional only. It is subject to reconsideration when the whole method of administrating the fuel sup­ plies of the country shall have been satisfactorily organized and put into operation. Subsequent measures win hqve as their objects fair and equit­ able control of the distribution of the supply and of the,prices not only at the mines, hut also in the hands of the middlemen and the retailers. ‘The prices provisionally fixed here are fixed by, me under the provisions of the recent act of Congress regard­ ing administering the food supply of the country, which also -conferred upon the executive control of the fuel supply. They are based upon the ac­ tual cost of production and are deem­ ed to be not only lair and just but liberal as well. Under them the in­ dustry should nowhere lack stimu­ lation.” Russia itself. The immediate fate of Russia, it is felt, depends upon it. ; , Out of the great gathering, In which the conservative elements of all sorts are expected to-unite in an effort to compel the, provisional gov­ ernment to Uirow off the socialistic control of the soldiers’, and workmen’s council, one of two results is expected: “The formation of a strong central­ ized govemmenL capable of rapidly reorganizing the army and resuming the offensive against the central pow­ ers-or open civil strife.” SURRENDERED BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT ANOTHER SHELL, An AUanUc P o rt-T heS tandard Oil tank steamer Campana, whose captain and five of her navy gunners were taken prisoners by a German : submarine on August sixth, surrender- ! ed to the U-boat, but only because she had not another shot to fire.

Is Recommended. Washington.—Officials of toe food, administration gave out the following' statement concerning the steadying a t potato prices, especially Important just now: Unusual facilities for financing stor­ age are offered American potato grow­ ers as a result of war conditions, into federal reserve system is at their dis­ posal, and farmers who store their 191T potato crop in approved local ware- • houses, may obtain, upon their storage receipts, 90-day loans from member banks of the reserve system at a rate not to exceed 0 per cent Mr. Lou D. ; Sweet, potato expert with toe food ad­ ministration, was instrumental In bringing this matter to the reserve * board’s attention. New England growers have started '• a movement to take advantage of this ruling to help them solve their market­ ing problem. The prospect which the growers of this group of states face is that of handling 45,000,000 bushels of potatoes—one-tenth of the entire United States crop—without causing an overstocked market and the result-- ing loss of all profit on the crop. The growers communicated with lo­ cal authorities In their respective states, who in turn laid the situation before the food administration. A con­ ference between the growers, local au­ thorities n.id experts from the food . administration was ,held recently at Boston, Mass. A plan of . action was mapped out at this meeting which In- , eludes the following: I: Marketing of only one-third of toe crop at harvest time; another third In 90 days, or placing in storage and later • distributed as demand affords oppor- . tunity; the remaining third to be stored by the grower and marketed throughout the year. 2. All potatoes-to-be graded with care, taking out culls, cuts, cracks and any that are bruised. It was recom­ mended that a wire screen grader be used—one and seven-eighths-inch mesh for oblong tubers and two-inch mesh for round ones. Graded stock then to be placed in good two-bushel sacks-— one hundred and fifteen pounds to the sack—-and the sacks sewed tightly so as to prevent shucking and bruising. 3. Increasing the load In each rati- road car from the normal 30,00ft pounds. That these cars can be un­ loaded within 24 to 36 hours of their arrival at destination. 4. th a t municipalities, and other bodies provide storage for as lartm quantities as possible at toe peak of toe harvest. . “A storage house,” said Lou R SweeL who attended this meeting, “such as will conform to ,the require­ ments IalddownbytheFederalReserve board, does nqt call for a specially con­ structed house. There are innumer­ able buildings, which, if properly cleaned, ventilation provided, and man­ aged so as to maintain a temperatdre of about 35 degrees, will answer ad­ mirably for this purpose. - . “This year the United States planted Its potato crop from the poorest qual­ ity of seed that ever went into toe ground, and naturally toe harvest will be potatoes of poor quality. Strict grading, careful packing, conimon- sense storage, and careful shipping are necessary to Insure just returns to the growers who have responded to toe president’s call for increased produc­ tion of potatoes.” S f 0Sckinff and ciistributing con- cerhs, with the lnstifttion of a licens­ ing system,-may:be the next move of the food administration.

FEED ITS ALLIES Im p o rtan t M essage to People From H erbert C. Hoover, A dm inistrator, * WORLD SUPPLIES ESTIMATED Increased Production, Elimination of Waste and Careful Control of Food Exports Form the Solution of This War Problem. Washington, Aug. 20.—What the peo­ ple of the United States not only can but must do In the matter of food pro­ duction and use in order to help win the war is set forth In detail in a statement Issued today by Pood Ad­ ministrator Herbert 0. Hoover. If we fall to do our. part In this respect, he says, the people of the allies cannot be maintained at war, for their soldiers cannot fight without food. The hormal imports of wheat and other cereal's by France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Belgium, and the estimates of the 1917 crop in those countries compared to the normal pro­ duction are given by Mr. Hoover In tabulated form, and the conclusion is drawn that in order to provide normal consumption It will be necessary for them to import In the nest 12 months 577,000,000 bushels of wheat and 674,000,000 bushels of other cere­ als. If the crops of the United States and Canada all mature safely, North America will have an apparent sur­ plus of 208,000,000 bushels of wheat and 950,000,000 bushels of other cere- fds. The allies, therefore, must use Jther cereals than wh^at for mixing In their war bread, and the people of America must reduce their consump­ tion of wheat flour from five to four pounds per week per person. Decrease In Food Animals. A careful estimate of the world’s food animal position shows a total net decrease of 115,005,000, and this will be greater as the war goes on. As the increase of her.ds and flocks takes years, we must reduce the. consump­ tion, eliminate waste and carefully con­ trol meat exports. Onr home dairy products supplies are decreasing, while our population is Increasing, and we must ship In­ creasing amounts of such products to our allies. Consequently this Indus­ try must ‘ be stimulated, and home users must save the wastes In milk and butter. ' Much the same may be said In the case of suga». Mr. Hoover urges a greater con­ sumption of fish and sea foods, In •which our coasts and lakes are enor­ mously rich. The products of the land, he reminds us, are conserved by the eating of those of the sea. Our Duty. In conclusion the food Administrator says: I have endeavored to show In previ­ ous articles that the world Is short of food; that Europe Is confronted with the grim specter of starvation unless from our abundance and our waste we keep the wolf from the door. Not only must we have a proper use of our food supply In order that we may furnish our allies with the sinews with which they may fight our battles, but It is an act of humanity towards fellow men, women and children. By the diversion of millions of men from production to war, by the occu­ pation ef land by armies, by the Iso­ lation of markets, by belligerent lines, and by the destruction of shipping by submarines, not only has the home pro­ duction of our allies fallen by over 600,000,000 bushels of grain, but 'they are thrown upon us for a much larger proportion of their normal imports for­ merly obtained from other markets. They have reduced consumption at every point, but men in the trenches, men In the shops, and the millions of women placed at physical labor. re­ quire more food than during peace times, and the incidence of their saving and any shortage which they may suf­ fer, falls first upon women and chil­ dren. If this privation becomes too great, their peoples cannot be main­ tained constant In the war, and we will be Ieft alone to fight the battle of democracy with Germany. The problem of food conservation is one of many complexions. We cannot, and we do not wish, with our .free In­ stitutions and our large resources of food, to imitate.Europe In Its policed rationing, but we must voluntarily and Intelligently assume lie responsibility before us as one In which everyone has a direct and Inescapable Interest. We must Increase our export of fobds to the allies, and In the circumstances of our shipping situation, these exports must be of the most concentrated foods. These are wheat, flour, beef pork and dairy products. We have oth­ er foods In great abundance which we can use Instead of these commodities, and we can prevent wastes In a thou­ sand directions. We must guard the drainage of exports from the United States, that we retain a proper supply for our own country, and we must adopt such measures as will amelio­ rate, so far as may be, the price condi­ tions of oyr less fortunate. We might 80 drain the supplies from the country to Europe as by the high prices that would follow to force our people to shorten their consumption. This oper­ ation of “normal economic forces" would, starve that element of the com­ munity to whom we owe the most pro­ jection. We must try to Impose the warden equally upon all. There ls-no royal road to food con­ servation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element In propor­ tion to its means. It is a matter of equality of burden; a matter of min­ ute saving and substitution at every point In the 20,000,000 kitchens, on the 20.000.000 dinner tables and In the 2.000.000 manufacturing, wholesale and retail establishments of the country. The task is thus In its essence the daily Individual service of all the people. EJvery group can substitute and even the • great majority of thrifty people can save a little—and the more luxuri­ ous elements of the population can by reduction to simple living save much. The final result of substituting other products and saving one pound of wheat flour, two ounces of fats,, seven ounces of sugar and seven ounces of meat weekly, by each person, will, when we have multiplied this by one hundred million, have Increased our exports to the amounts absolutely re­ quired by our allies. This means no more than that we should eat plenty', but eat wisely and without waste. Pood conservation has other aspects of utmost importance. Wars must be paid for by savings. We must save In the consumption in commodities and the consumption of unproductive la­ bor in order that we may divert our manhood to the army and to the shops. If by the reduction In consumption of labor and the commodities that It pro­ duces and the diversion of this saving to that labor and those commodities demanded by the war, we shall be abl« to fight to eternity. We can mortgage our future savings for a little while, but n piling up of mortgages is but a short step .toward bankruptcy. Every atom that we save is available for sub­ scription to Liberty bonds. The whole of Europe has been en­ gaged ever since the war began in the elimination of waste, the simplification of life, arid the increase of Its indus­ trial capacity. When the war Is over the consuming power of the world will be reduced by the loss of prosperity and man power, and we shall enter a period of competition without parallel in ferocity. After the war, we must maintain our foreign markets If our working people are to be employed. We shall be In no position to compete if we continue to live on the same basis of waste and extravagance on which we have lived hitherto. Simple, temperate living Is a moral Issue of the first order at any time, and any other basis of conduct during ’the war be­ comes a wrong against the Interest of the country and the Interest of democracy. The impact of the food shortage of Europe has knocked at every door of the United States during the past three years. The prices of foodstuffs have nearly doubled, and the reverberations of Europe’s increasing shortage would have thundered twice as loudly dur­ ing the coming year even had we not entered the war, and It can now only be mitigated if we can exert a strong control and this In many directions. We are' today In an era of high prices. We must maintain prices at such a level as will stimulate produc­ tion, for we are faced by a starving world and the value of a commodity to the hungry Is greater than Its price. As a result of the world shortage of supplies, our consumers have suffered from speculation and’extortion. While wages for some kinds of labor have Increased with the rise In food prices, In others, it has been difficult to main­ tain our high standard of nutrition. By the elimination of waste In all classes, by the reduction In the con­ sumption of foodstuffs by the more for­ tunate, we shall increase our supplies not only for export but for home, and by Increased supplies we can Beip In the amelioration of prices. For Better Distribution. Beyond this the duty has been laid upon the food administration to co-op­ erate with the patriotic men In trades and commerce, that we may eliminate the evils which have grown Into our system of distribution, that the bur­ den may fall equitably upon all by res­ toration, so far as may be, of the nor­ mal course of trade. It Is the purpose of the.food administration to use its utmost power and the utmost ability that patriotism can assemble to ameli­ orate this situation to such a degree as may be possible. The food administration Is assem­ bling the best expert advice In the country on home economics, on-food utilization, on trade practices and trade wastes, and'-on the conduct of public eating places, and we shall out­ line from time to time detailed sugges­ tions, which If honestly carried out by such individuals In the country, we be­ lieve will effect the result which we must attain. We are asking every home, every public eating place and many trades, to sign a pledge card to accept these directions, so far as their circumstances permit, and we are organizing various instrumentalities to ameliorate speculation. We are ask­ ing the men of-the country who are not actually engaged In the handling of food to sign slmiiHr pledges that they shall see to it, so far as they fire able, that these directions are followed, and this Is the essence of democracy Itself. Autocracy finds its strength In its ability to Impose organization by force from the top. The essence of democracy consists In the application of the Initiative In its own people. Ji Individualism cannot be so organized as to defend itself, then democracy Is a faith which cannot stand. We are seeking to impose no organization from the. top.. "We are-asking the American people to organize from Qie bottom up. The call of patriotism, of humanity and of duty, rings dear' and Insistent. We must heed it if we are to’ defend our ideals, maintain our fcnn of gov­ ernment, and safeguard our fature wri- fore.

MANY GET SPECIAL ! Vast Activities of the Organization Are Described—Field Service Now Has Forty Sections Actually on Duty on the French Front. Paris.—Deeds' of heroic courage by American Red Cross men on several battle fronts have just been described here In a statement by Maj. Grayson P. Murphy, American Red Cross com­ missioner for Europe.. He Ulso gives details of the vast and mnny-slded ac­ tivities the organization has been car­ rying oa, which now are being multi­ plied maDy times. Following out its previously an­ nounced project, the commission has already established relief and rest sta­ tions for the troops at points where they must lie over while in transit from the base receiving camps to the train­ ing camps near the front. Owing to the demoralized condition of the French railways, troops are often obliged to spend between 48 and 72 hours in making a journey that could ordinarily be accomplished in 12 hours. The cars In which they are trans­ ported are frequently small French freight cars, Into which 30, more often 40, men are crowded. The result has been that cases of measles, mumps, diphtheria and on numerous occasions more serious diseases have broken out among the men. To provide against such an exigency, station dispensaries, each containing ten beds, a doctor and two nurses, have been opened. Sus­ pected cases or men asking for treat­ ment are handled Immediately instead of awaiting for the arrival of the train at its destination. The patients are visited each day by some member of the Red Cross, who brings them tobac­ co, sweets or something to read, the purchases being made from the funds which the United States has so gener­ ously subscribed. Another activity of the Red Cross consists In the bringing to Prance of about twenty Belgian police dogs, which will be-trained to go out and look for wounded. The ftogs have been tried out in other armies, notably the French and Russian, and have reached a high degree of proficiency In. their work. Training the Doge. The method of training is to start In to teach the dog to fetch an object, usually a man’s cap. Then he is taught to seek out the wearer of the cap, to return and lead the trainer to the wearer, supposedly wounded. The dogs have also been used with great suc­ cess in detecting the presence of wounded men’ caught in the enemy’s wire entanglements and unable to-es­ cape through weakness. With the formal transfer of the American ambulance to the American army, the ambulance ceases to exist, in naqje, as an auxiliary service of- the French army, although It will be virtually continued as such until such time as the American army decides It needs It for its own uses.' The Amer­ ican ambulance is not, however, at the present time under the control of the Red Cross, although that develop­ ment may later occur. Two of the most recent members of the ambulance to receive the war cross and army citations are Basil K. Neftel of Larchmont, N. X., leader of Section 17 of the field service, and Ora R.

He Is still aboard that vessel. virulent fevers that periodically make their appearance In the lowlands of Macedonia during the summer months. "For both bravery and distinguished conduct,” their citations read, “an ab­ solute disregard of the personal risks to which they exposed themselves and their spontaneous action in bringing In the wounded from the most ad­ vanced positions,” the War Cross has been awarded to each of the follow­ ing: W.

In addition to the Crolx de Guerre, or War Cross, ElUston was singled out for special distinction, being award the Cross with Palms, which means an . act of unusual bravery. During a local engagement around Monastir in which the French were endeavoring to take a strongly held trench that formed the advanced de; ment of .a Bulgarian salient, • the troops advanced to the attack about four In/ the morning, before the sun had made any activity almost intoler­ able. . By five o’clock the blue-coated poUus had swarmed over the Bulgarian en­ trenchments, bayoneting or bombing any of the enemy who remained to offer resistance: The enemy counter­ attack w as' slow in organizing, ai<d the poilus began the tiresome work of consolidating the position. Almost at high noon the violence in the en­ emy’s shell fire presaged the coming counter-attack. Fifteen minutes la­ ter the Bulgars came over the top of their second line of defense and hurled themselves on the small band of French. . The latter held firm and not only succeeded In driving off the counter­ attack, but chased the enemy back to their second Une, blowing up the dugouts and putting a number of- machine guns out of action. It was .during the intense heat of the mid­ day and the concentrated Are of the Bulgarian heavy guns that the stretcher-bearers had to go out In the open, and pick up. the wounded.

Instead of the sign of the Red Cross diverting the Bulgarian fire. It seemed rather to attract -it.

Lose 50 A'mbulance Chassis. Charles M. Ashton of Philadelphia was on duty at a relief post follow­ ing up the French advance in the Champagne and also awaiting f.ip oil to drive his machine to the front. The Germans were vigorously shell­ ing the entire district when a shrap­ nel shell burst within twenty fent of the young man’s ambulance. Tivo of the balls struck him, one In the ab­ domen, the other in the arm, while a piece of the shell inflicted a nastv wound on his leg. Thanks to the prompt action of the surgeons, he will recover, but will probably be invalided out of the service. .. Despite the loss of fifty nmlminnce chassis when the' steamer Orleans, the first American ship to run the Ger­ man submarine blockade, was tor­ pedoed about a month afro, the American field service succeeded In placing three new ambulance sections In the field last week and two addi­ tional transport sections. One of the ambulance sections, No. 30, Is composed entirely of Harvard men, with Ralph R. Richmond of Milton, Mas^., as section commander. Traniport section No. 242 has also a number of Harvard men in its ranks, its commander being a Hnrvard lwy, Thomas H. Dougherty of Philadel­ phia. Transport section L is com­ manded by George G. Struhy of Den­ ver, Colo., a Vale graduate, who has already won glory and the war cross for bravery In action, while the other two ambulance sections, No. 00 and No. 70, are commanded by Charles A. Butler of New Tork1 a graduate, of Columbia, and Arthur J. Putnam of Deposit, N. T., a Cornell man, re­ spectively. Altogether,- the field service now has forty sections actually in service at various parts of the French front of wljjch twenty-nine are ambulance sections, for transporting the wound­ ed, and eleven transport sections, for the handling of munitions nnd sup­ plies. This represents a personnel of close to 2,500 volunteers, for the most part young Americans from the best families In the United States. American aviators flying with the French forces came In for their share of mishaps during the past week. Lawrence Scanlon of Cednrhurst, L. I., otherwise known as “Red” Scan­ lon, had one of the narrowest escapes on record when his machine, getting out of control, fell from a height of 500 feet and crashed onto the roof of an army bakery at Avord1 the French training camp for aviators. Scanlon was making a trial flight In a Nleuport and had circled around In the most approved professional manner, and had started to il»scend. Of a sudden his motor stopped. Never before having had experience with a “panne de motour,” the young avia­ tor decided the best course was to get to the earth with the least possible loss of time. He aimed for tlie avia­ tion field, but an error in judgment or a stray gust of wind drove liira too far, and lie came down upon the bakery roof with a force that drove the nose of the Nietiport dear through. Unhurt, but slightly stunned. Scan­ lon scrambled out of the debris #w» climbed down off the roof by moans of a ladder that had been left propped against the wall. Just as lie started off to report the captain of the camp came rushing up, and seeing Scanlon going away from the scene of the ac­ cident, ordered him back to assist10 the removal of the supposedly dea man, or to go call a doctor It it discovered he was seriously woiinde . Scanlon saluted the captain, soyins- “He's all right, captain.” “How" do you know? Who was that fell?” demanded the cnIltaln- “ ’Twas I, captain,” replied toe young American, saluting again- "Well, you have had the most re­ markable escape I hove ever " nessed,” declared the captain. “^ou. ° man, you were never made to be jured by a faU from an airplane- The speed with which it f*1 such that the nose was complete j burled Inside the bakery, learlnS o J six feet of the tall protruding throus the outside of the roof.

'4 s m A Capes and Buttons AgainT If you like capes and buttons you may have them along with your new fall suit; that is, if you will practice some self-restraint. Buttons appear in small companies not In regiments, as they did on suits for spring and about the widest of capes is that on the suit pictured here. Few models go to this length In capes and few exceed this in the number of buttons used. Suits have been presented ’ in a great variety of designs from those on the severest lines, without trim­ ming, to more formal models enriched with embroidery. Manufacturers ap­ pear to be of one mind as to coats: they are longer than they have been,' and such decorations as they have ap­ pear at the sides of the skirt portion. JJearly all of them have patch pockets of some sort, but there are exceptions to this rule. Skirts are narrower than they were and the approved length Is six to eight inches off the floor. They are rarely trimmed. Attention Is centered on coats and they are.embellished with braid, chain stitching, enabroidery, fur or fur fabrics that are good imitations of skins. The suit pictured is of heavy gaber­ dine and its parallel rows of buttons are joined by chain stitching. It has a wide belt which fails to make an effort to lessen the size of the waist but adds much to the set and style of the coat. The new colors are quiet and plain cloths predominate. But mixtures ap­ pear in which a second inconspicuous color is hardly discovered in the goods until the suit Is examined closely. k. 4MWVK Som ething New in Blouses. Into the smart company ,of chic blouses for fall something entirely new has made its entry. It was announced under an unassuming but misleading title as the “peasant” blouse, but it should be rechristened for it looks the Part of a princess garb. Whatever the source of its inspira­ tion the new garment is dainty and elegant and has much distinction. .As shown in the picture -it is made of Ivory-white georgette crepe and em­ broidered with light rose color and bine silk. It has many points of de­ parture from current styles in blouses, but its sparing use of decorative fea­ tures is just in keeping with the trend of things. Its decoration of independence be­ gins with its manner, of fastening, for it buttons up the back with close-set, round crochet buttons. The back is extended into a long peplum terminat­ ing In pockets at each side and con­ spicuous by its absence at the front. A very narrow belt, made of the crepe, buttons at one side and is ornament- od with buttons set across the front. The sleeves are full with a narrow band of crepe beaded with embroid­ ery confirming them at the waist, j trC is a little embroidery on each pocket- and at the bottom of the front j of the blouse. Tlie neck is round with a long tie ! ’•’“do of deen blue satin tacked about it to the shoulders.' The ends are crossed in the back and hang almost to the bottom of the blouse. They are weighted with a bit of bead fringe, like the satin In color. Gingham Petticoat. The gingham petticoat has suddenly risen to a.position of prominence. There have always been gingham petticoats, of course, but they have been worn usually as a matter of-eco­ nomy. Now, however, the gingham petticoat is quite the thing to wear, and it is made In the most attractive styles. Sometimes it is scalloped around the bottom, and '.perhaps trimmed with bandings or pipings of this is its prettiest fashion. It Is usu­ ally made 4n stripes, checks or plaids, although there are some of plain blue or pink gingham that are trimmed'With bandings or pipings of plaid or stripes cut on the bias. - w ««urn Newspaper Union News Bsrvioe Prices Paid by Merchants for Farm Products In the Markets of North Carolina as Reported to the Division of Markets for the Week Ending Saturday, August 18, 1917.

Gooseberry jam mixed with cream cheese, or chopped c h e r r ie s mixed w ith c o tta g e cheese. A sandwich for state occasions when a most nourish­ ing one is needed is one of peanut but­ ter used as a filling between two thin slabs of sweet chocolate. Take equal parts of diced banana ahd pineapple, mashed to a pulp, and mix with strawberry jam. This is a great favorite with the boys. Mix. together the solid portion of ripe tomatoes, diced cucumber, chop­ ped chives or onion tops and crushed well cooked bacon with cottage cheese. Spread on buttered rye bread. A thin slice of . salt pork dipped in batter and fried a nice brown, then placed between layers of chow chow on buttered bread is a tasty sandwich well liked. Spinach well cooked and seasoned and rubbed with hard-cooked egg. Raisin bread cut In heart shapes and spread with fudge enriched with nut meats is a sweet sandwich which will take the place of cake. These may be made in the ordinary way or the hot fudge may be poured on the slices and allowed to cool before the top slice is added. Lima beans put through a sieve, sea­ soned with melted butter, a little onion juice and a pinch of mustard, a few chopped olives and a dash of tomato catsup spread on brown bread. Corn Dainties.—Put well popped corn through the food chopper with a few walnut meats, add a little melted butter and the beaten white of an egg with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Spread on round crackers sandwich' fashion and decorate the top with the same mixture and the half of a walnut meat. Bake in the oven until brown. Patty Pie.—Fill large paper ice cases with any seasonable fruit cooked In sirup, and top the fruit with ice cream, spread around the edges and flute with a fork. Mark a leaf in the center to re­ semble a pie and serve at once. -Nut and Cheese Roast.—Cook two tablespoonfuls of chopped onions In a tablespoonful of butter, add three- fourths of a cupful of water and cook until the onion is tender, add a cupful of chopped nut meats, a cupful of Cheesei, a cupful of bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, the grated rind of a ldmon and the juice of half a lemon. Turn into a buttered mold and bake twenty minutes. Decorate with lemon and parsley. cover with the handle of a knife to be sure that there is no way for bacteria to enter. To further secure the fruit dip the can tops into hot paraffin and place In a cool dark cel­ lar.

I PRESERVING FRUITS AND VEGE­ TABLES FOR WINTER. To save cans® for fruits it is wise to dry corn and many prefer the flavor to that of canned corn. Select young ears, husk and plunge into boiling water and boil five .rnin- utbs to set the milk. Slice from the cob and arrange, on the drying trays, spreading as thin­ ly as possible, put into the oven or around the stove to dry as quickly as possible. Corn should be put in the trays for drying within an hour from the time it is pulled from the stalk. This insures a fine sweet flavor. The corn is soaked and cooked In the same water until tender, th«M dressed with cream and a dash of salt and pepper, making a dish that may, but never has, been equaled. Salted Beans.—Take young tender string beans, preferably In the fall, string and cat-them as for the .table. In a stone crock put a layec of coarse salt just covering the bottom. Then put in a layer of raw beans about an inch deep, another layer of salt, just covering the beans and so on, ending with the sail:. Tie a piece-of muslin over the top of the jar and In a dgy or two they will settle, and ^nore beans, and more salt may be added. 'Crocks holding several quarts ,are set In the cellar, where the beans will keep their color and flavor. When wanted, remtwe a few and soak them over night Changing the water occa­ sionally until they are right for eating. Canning Tomatoes.—Scald the toma­ toes and remove the stem end care­ fully, plunge In cold water to hold the coloring matter near the surface, then remove the skins and pack whole in jars, adding a teaspoonful of salt to every quart of the tomatoes. Place on a rack in a boiler and cover the jars to the depth of an inch above the highest Jar. When they begin to boil count the time and cook thirty minutes for quarts and twenty for pints. The tops should be screwed down tight When removing them be sure to tighten the tops, pressing down the edge of the BARLEY DISHES. Barley has been used for yenrs In in­ valid cookery for broths and as Infant food. High-grade barley contains as much protein as hard wheat. It fur­ nishes starch, fat and mineral matter in equal amounts with wheat. As bax-ley lacks g lu te n , wheat flour must be add­ ed to barley meal or flour to make* successful bread, using one part of whole wheat or v,h.;e flonr to two parts , of barley flour Barley meal has a similar texture lit corn- meal, both the flour and the meal may be obtained In many sections of the country and as the increasing demand for it grows, will be more commonly in the smaller markets. Barley "cook­ ery is being revived because of the lack of wheat flour, and we are beginning to appreciate its value as a food. Barley Pone.—Add two cupfuls of milk to one cupful of cooked hot hom­ iny grits or rice, three tablespoonfuls of butter, then cool and add a half tea­ spoonful of salt, a cupful of barley meal sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, then add two Well-beat­ en eggs; pour Into a buttered dish and bake in a moderate oven 45 minutes. Serve from the dish, cut in triangular shapes. Breakfast Food.—Add a half cupful of barley meal to two cupfuls of boil­ ing water and a half teaspoonful of salt. Cook In’ a double boiler one- hour or in a fireless cooker over night Serve with cream and sugar. Figs, dates or raisins may be added if desired.

Close your eyes when using the tele­ phone. This not only rests the eyes but is good for the tired nerves, says the oculist. Paint hoops green nml use them as supports for hy­ drangea bushes, pe­ onies and other bushy plants which fall down' and be­ come broken by the wind. ■ A small salt sack folded many times until a small square, is formed, then slipped into a clothespin makes a good griddle pan greaser. The cloth may be renewed whenever necessary. When driving with a small child, if her dress is spread so you can sit upon it, you will be able to support a rath­ er small child safely and still manage the reins. One mother padded a small box for her small child when driving in the auto. The- child was comfortable and so was the mother, as she did not fear for its safety. The children love to cut out pic­ tures of fruit from catalogues and one housewife pastes them on her. cans of fruit Instead of labels, making a most attractive-looklng fruit closet. Never try to pick up bits of glass. Wet a woolen cloth and pat it around in the glass. The fragments will cling to It and the hands are saved the dan­ ger. A thrifty wife keeps a list of the things she needs to have attended to about the house. This' list is placed where her husband is sure to see It, and when each is attended to is checked off.

The corporal again rose to the situa­ tion. “Orderly of the day, sir,” he an­ swered. “Oh!” said the officer, and passed on. . The next mess were quite prepared, with the orderly, spick and span, standing at attention at the head of the table. “Any complaints?" “None,. sir,” answered the orderly. The officer looked him well over. “And who are you?” he asked. “Orderly of the day,'sir.” “Then why the dickens aren’t you under the table?” was the unexpected retort.

Insanity In the United States is de- cldedly on the ,increase. This fact is revealed, by reason of a census taken of the Insane, feeble-minded, epileptics, Inebriates and drug addicts by the National Committee for Mental Hy­ giene. Analysis of this census is found In the Mental Hygiene. It was com­ piled by Horatio M. Pollack, statistici­ an of the New Tork State Hospital commission, and Edith UL Furbush, statistician of the National ‘Committee for Mental Hygiene, The federal census bureau estimates that the increase of population from April 15,1910, to January I, 1917, was 11.80 per cent. The same, government agency found In 1910 that the number of Insane in institutions was 187,791. The census taken In the present year revealed 234,055 Insane persons in in­ stitutions. Thus the increase In the Insane in institutions during the corre­ sponding period was 24.64 per cent, a growth more than double that of the general population. Moreover, the rate of increase of the Insane in institutions was relatively greater than that of the general popu­ lation in every state except Arizona, Kansas. M ississip p i. Nevada and Soutli Carolina. Illinois is one of the states In which the disparity between growth of population and increase in. insanity has been greatest. In this state the population increase was 9.84 per cent, as compared with a percentage of increase of Insane in Institutions of 27.38. The neighboring state of Indi­ ana shows an even greater disparity, with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re­ spectively. j YES! MAGICALLY!

Summer cultivation of the orchard is necessary if a profit is to be made; In the opinion of F. S. Merrill, assist­ ant professor of horticulture- In' the Kansas State Agricultural college. ‘Three methods may be practiced’ In the cultivation of an orchard,” said Professor Merrill. “The first of these is thie sod mulch system.' This is prac­ ticed on bottom land or'-land high In fertility. Orchards on fertile' land are llkel# to produce a' heavy' growth of wood, which prevents the formation of frviit buds. In order to overcome this a grass’^^crop should be soWed In the- orchard. ' The grass crop -is mowed when necessary and allowed to remain1 on:the grounds “The second method, often us^d,’ cftnslsfe of sowinfe 4 grass crop in ‘the orchard -dnd harvesting the hay. 1 This system Is injurious to th!g trees and re­ duces' the Slzef1 and value-of the''fruit.

Clover Is Valuable Soil Renovator and M akes Excel­ lent Forage for Stock. (From the United- States Department of Agriculture.) « “Grow sweet clover” is the arnswer for poor soil .or worn-out pastures which no longer support live stock profitably, according to investigators of the United States department of agriculture,'who'have found that thou­ sands of acres of sweet clover are fur- ,nfshing annually abundant - pasturage for all kinds, of stock on soil wliiere other crops, made but Httle growth. , In many - portions of the middle West sweet clover bids fair to solve serious pasturage problems, according to Farmers’ Bulletin 820, “Sweet Clo­ ver: Utilization^” just issued. Native pastures which- no longer provided niore than a scant living for a' mature steer on four or five acres, when prop­ erly seeded to sweet clover, will pro1 duce suificientforage to carry at least one animal to the *cre throughout the season. - Dairy cattle, horses, sheep and bogs all do-Well on sweet. clov6r. Land which is too rough or too deplet­ es- for cultivation or permanent pas­ tures which , havfe 'become : thin and weedy- may be Improved greatly by drilling in, after disking a-, few pounds of sweet clover seed per acre. Not only will the sweet clover add considerably to, the quality and quan- tlty of the pasturage, but the growth of. the grasses will be improved by the addition of large quantities of hu­ mus and nitrogen to the. soil. Sweet clover has proved to be an ‘excellent pasturage crop on many of the best farms In the North Central states. In this, part of the country it is often seeded alone and pastured from’the middle or the latter part of Juhie until frost. LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc­ tor, Enables Wearer to Waik Soon After Amputation. A Danish doctor at a hospital in Paris has .invented a .cardboard leg which enables the wearer to go about without crutches two days after his limb has been amputated. The materials used, are two sheets of cardboard about three-isixteenth ol an inch thick, and bandages soaked in a starch solution. After ,careful meas­ urements have been taken the card­ board is cut into what looks like two peg-tops, which after being soaked in the bath fold round' each other and are secured with bandages. The principle is that of an egg in a cup, -and the patient can wear the leg long before the wound is completely healed. He can thus'get air and exer­ cise, which it is usually impossible to obtain at this phase of his convales­ cence; also he has to suiter none of the inconveniences of crutches, a stick sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop­ erly treated, lasts from six months to a year, by which time a permanent artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

Speaking at the international convention of the Loyal Order of Moose, at Pittsburg, ex President Eoosevelt declared the continuation of universal military -training in the United StateB after the war is the nation’s only security a- gainst a repetition of unprepared­ ness. He assailed the theory that the war can be iianced by a tre­ mendous tax on incomes, and de­ clared for heavy and progressive taxes on excess profits. ,While a reasonable profit should be given on government war contracts, he said, ' ‘‘No man in America has a riebt to become tremendously wealthy as a result of this war. “ We are in a war and our" first business is to fight,” said Mr. Boosevelt. “Only a few months ago I heard people say they would give money, potatoes and other tbioRS, but would let some one else fight for them. This is pawn­ broker patriotism is that of the American who actually goes to face the shells and cannon.” German Emperor Indicted. This comes in a dispatch front Meridian, Mo.: “Upon the sworn testimony of Representative W. W. Venable of the Fifth congressional district, w,ho was regularly summoned to appear before that body, the Laud erdale county grand Jury return­ ed an iudictmeut against Emperor William of Germany, ebargiug robbery, arson, murder, plotting, bribery and conspiracy, ‘all a gainst the. peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi.’ “Deputy Sheriff Kennedy in formed the court he would go after the Kaiser if provided with the proper papers.” Now what’s it all about. The challenge of persistency is eargerly met by the optimist. The pessimist gets cold feet. Summer Complaint. DurinR the hot weather of tne summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine i.-Tkept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott. Scotsville, N. Y.. states, “I. first used Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like reults." • Resolution Not Unanimous. It is stated that State Treasurer Lacy did not sign the resolution passed by the Council of State, a greeing not to ask exemption tor employes of' State departments from military service solely on ac­ count of their employment. The State Treasurer, while he did not sign the resolution, simply absent­ ed himself from the meeting so there would be no disagreement. It is also sfated that the resolu­ tion was a plan of Gov. Bickett and that employes of the State de­ partments affected by it are not all pleased. They charge the Govern or with plajiog to the galleries. The criticism is natural, seeing that the adoption of the resolution removed the barricade which would have kept some of them out or service.—Es. We want your subscription. Another Very Sad War Picture. Au editorial in the Christian Index July 26tb, begins with this startling statement: ‘.'It is report ed that there are nearly one hun­ dred unmarried mothers in one city as the result of the locatiob of a military camp in its suburbs. The camp was here only for a few mouths, but nearly * one hundred girls and homes were disgraced, and nearly one hundred illegiti­ mate children have been born and will be boru. The soldiers and lathers of these children are gone. They have been swallowed np in the United States army but the mothers and children and homes have been swallowed np in sorrow. —Baleigh Biblical Recorder. Woman Mayor In France. Mrs. Marion N.
