WEDNESDAYi OCTOBER 3, 1917. ggg iS S m ■p3 mEfo^jS M I n w?M WhereWere Your Daughter Last Night. If some of the parents of young girls could hear rem arks about tbeir daughters by our old friend, the chronic gossip, they would ex­ ercise more care regarding the as­ sociates and habits of those daugh ters. It is a tine thing to know that your daughter is so pure and prudent that no harm can come to her, but no girl was ever so much bo that the sharp tongue of the gossip could not find motive for wagging if she did not posesa dis cretion and a m other’s guidance a- long with her purity and her pru­ dence. We may be a little old-fashioned iD our ideas. ThiDgs move so fast Un this day that a fellow is often left with obsoleate ideas as to pro- p; iety overnight. B tit we cannot see why a thing that was consider ed indiscreet or im proper when we were a youngster a little while a - go should not be the same now. Certainly the danger to the girl is Ijust as real now as then. Xo most of us the thought that our girl can [join the innum erable others who have gone wrong is abhorrent; such a possibility is unthinkable. So has it been w ith all the heart­ broken fathers and m others of the thousands who drink deep of the Jcup of shame and die steeped in all tbe degradation th at proBitution brings. None of us see disaster. until it is upon us because it has away of [creeping up unawares. T he bright jsmiling little girl who today nest- [les her cheek against the faee of [an idolizing father is confronted [by .all the dangers that have beset he path of young ._ womanhood [since time began.

W e have been inclined from tim e to time to defend the Senate of the U nited States from the at­ tacks that have been made upon it by the newspapers. It is a well educated, slow-going and respect­ able old lady. It has laid its hand upon ^he rash aud hot head: House many a time, and saved the country from a good deal of wild and foolish legislation. It loves to hear itself talk, and has not the least idea in the world of the value of time, but its very slowness and verbosity have served as a break on the legislative wheels which kept CongreBS from running away. B ut there is one thing that must be said about the Senate, and that cannot be denied—it is a slave to the money power. Its members, for the most part, are rich men themselves, aud always rally to the rescue of the rich. The war tax bill is a case in point. The Senate bill was altogether too favorable to tbe men. with swollen fortunes, much of which was made since the war began. W ar profits ought to be conscripted. No man ought to be allowed to own a dol­ lar that be made by reason of the war. The Senate bill would pro­ tect the shrewd financial wizardB who have coined dividends out of the blood of th e boys of the trench • . T hat is w hat made Claude K itchin m ad, and that is why he that no such war measure would ever pass the House. A nd foi once the House was wholly right and tbe Senate was wholly wrong. M r. Simmons is a sm art and nimble politican but he is a Senator and. has caught the Senatorial fever. H e loves the poor but he adhores the rich, and he wanted his wealthy friends to be protected from all. harm . K ight at this point is our danger as a nation.

H e wouldn’t pick a roan’s pocket; he wouldn’t m urder; he wouldn’t steal, but he has seemed always to be obsessed with tbe idea that it was perfectly proper to p ut som ething. over iu the whiskey business. In his mail order days, when his celebrated “ chemically pure” which consisted of whatever kind of chemicals would make druuk come, reinforc ed with moonshine likker bought on the quiet, Casper put out the most wonderful advertising, m atter seen'one of his famous hits was when he advertised that he would send by express prepaid, twelve full bottles of whiBkey—and ONE “ The difference between the Qt j a b i f r e b > for » ™ ry small sum. The man who had a thirsttreatm ent of state prisoners in our penitentiaries and those in a feder­ al prison is so m arked,” said Mr. Casper, “ that one can hardly re­ alize that there could be such a difference. O f course all are prisouers—convicts they call them but in the federal prison twelve' men will be employed to do what one man is forced to do in a state prison. A t Fort Leavenworth there were two thousand men and while each man bad a chore to do, it wasn’t hard—it really helped to kill time and made prison life en­ joyable—if enjoyable is a word I hat can be employ id in such a case. I was at the head ot a store and boss­ ed many meu under me. B ut we had nothing in our clothing to in­ dicate that we were true prisoners. True there was discipline''and rules WhiclIi m ight seem rigid, but they were not. ' Every man knew his job and every man did. w hat was 'assigned'him cheerfully and a part from the feeling of diBgrace— that all freedom in the world was yours inside the walled city—yet to know you couldn’t go out—you were not a free agent to go and come—that seemed to be the rub and made the whole plan of enter­ tainm ent and amusement a failnre when one looked backward after the day’s work was done. ‘W e had all kinds of amuse­ ments— baseball and moving pic tures—plenty to suggest that it was the govern uient's Idea to up lift; to punish, but with' a gloved hand instead of a mailed hand as it is often seen in the stae’s prison. The men io6ide the prison theie were of all classes and many nation­ alities, but all would attend the ball game or the moving picture show, or anything else that afford­ ed amusement, and had it been possible to get away from that one feeling of regret— those burdens which always oppressed alter lights were out, why. it was as fine an o u tin g a sa man ever had, plenty to eat, good food, all kinds of at tenticn.” Casper is a most rem arkable and wanted a whole lot of likker would seud the money and Casper would prom ptly send the twelve full bottles and one free—and the man. seeing he was stung never squealed. T heschem ew astosend twelve small bottles—those little individual bottles like some men have seen on dining cars (in the old days) and one puart of whiskey Casper claimed he sent all he a- greedtosend. One old negpo who felt the hu­ miliation of being stung and who thought be had something coming to him complained. H e lived in South Carolina and had Casper in­ dicted. H e appeared in court and told Jiow he had been separated from.his money; how he had anxi­ ously;;'awaited the arrival of 13. quarts, the twelve he thought he w as^etting and one quart free; of how it came with twelve little' “ ticklers” no bigger than his fing­ er and w ith only one quart. Judge Boyd asked him if he bad one of the bottles and in the hip pocked of his trouserloons he had it. H e produced it in court as evidenced B utbecause Casper had done all he agreed to do he hadn’t used the mails to defraud and the jury so found. B ut to tell about Casper would take a whole newspaper twice tnis big. Women And Business W e notice that a number ol ladies have been employed in a furniture factory at- M t.

Foster and the editor looked in on the Catawba County Fair, at Hickory, last week. The fair was the biggest and Ibest ever held in that-section. Toe exhibits by the ybung ladies of the county, consist­ ing of all kinds of canned goods, preserves and fancy work was ex cellent. The fruits, vegetables, grains etc , were fine. We looked at a large pumpkin that weighed 74 lbs. The hogs and cattle were good especially the herd of Jersy cattle owned by John W. Robinson. Ca tawba is a great Jersy cattle county. We saw only a few Holsteins. R. L. Sbuford the big dairyman, also had a fine bunch of cattle on display. It is said that 2,000 automobiles or more, were at the fair on Wednes day.: T hecrow dthatday was esti­ mated at.between 20,000 and 25,000; the largest crowd that has ever as­ sembled in Catawba county. We looked through the exhibits from start to finish, hoping to find the vegetables from Editor Sam Fera bee’s garden, but they were not to be found. Sam is turning out a good paper—the Hickory Daily Record, but he is not an extra good garden er. While in Hickory, we had the pleasure of meeting a number of Daviecounty people, among them being Dr. and Mrs. W. P. Speas1 Miss Velma Martin, who is teaching Palmer writing in the graded school, Mr, Brewer, who is runnings mill there, P. P. and Henry Jones, who once lived in Davie. Dr. Speas has only been in Hickory a few weeks, b.ut he tells us that he is getting a- long nicely and is very favorably im pressed with the growing town. The Doctor has a well equiped office on Union Square, and is devoting his entire time to diseases of the eye, ear, hose and throat. Davie folks generally make good anywhere they go J. Luther Leach is still in the laundry business and while we did not get to talk to him, we know that he is getting along alright. Mr. Click, another Davie man. is in Morganton, editing a paper, and we did not get to see him We met many old friends while in Hickory, and were sorry we could not remain therfe longer, Having spent nearly 25 years of our life in that town, it does.us good to get back and mingle with old friends and neighbors. With the exception of DavieCatawba is the best county in North Carolina Come, Let Us Live With The Children. These words I read with rever­ ence-»b I stooil by the tombstone of the great-souled C hristian1Freid- rich FroebeL I shall not see again the hallowed Bpot where his mor­ tal part w as laid to rest; but hiB noble features are yet clear to my m ind’s eye and h is earnest appeal to the parents of Chiistendom will always have an echo in my b e n t. have loved children all my Iiie ap’d the older I grow the more In t crested I am in w hat concerns them .

A re M ocksville people really in a state of to rp o r in regard to tb e ir own ch ild ren ’s m an ners an d m orals! Is it parental love or parental weakness that provides merely food and raiment- for a child who can truthfully say with Topsy: ‘‘Law, I v arn t raised—I just growed!” Ia it good n a tu re and long-suf fering on th e p a rt of M ocksville’s cinzens, or is it indifference to th e beat interests of childhood, th a t allow s boys an d g irls to m ake of them selves public nuisances? Ir. is worse th an thoughtlessness for « gang of Doys an d g irls to rob o reharos as a S unday afternoon pa'-trim e I t is not m ere th o u g h t Ie6-iies8 t t a t m akes w hite boys line up ou m e sidew alk, w aitiug for th e passing of colored school ch ild ren , to provoke the black boy* to fight and to engaye th e black girls in vu lg ar conversation. I t is uot m erely overflow ing sp irits th a t inspires a group of young hopefuls to throw stones sc rc si a p u b lic street, jeeriu g an d hissing a t a nervous wom an w ho begs them not to throw w hile she is passing. Is it adorable innocence that makes a boy strike with all his puny strength a refined, sweet- tempered woman whose only crime is io wish him and his playmates a ‘SGood afterroou?” It is not praise­ worthy in a girl to walk into my house and dem and in her m other’s name “ some more of them matozes —she throwed np them you give her yesterday;” LOr is it adm irable in another to accept the results ot your tim e and labor and march off without a word of thanks. Of course it would be worse to steal. A well-dressed girl entered the yard of a friend of mine and helped herself to the choicest flowers, roots as well as blossoms—and she calls herself a lady! D uringoneseason I have seen several handsome flow­ ering shrubs ruined by those who t> ok the flowers without a “ by- your leave” to the owner. AU this is bad enough. But what comment shall I make upon the well-known fact that lecturers and musicians as well as citizens of Mocksville who have paid good money to enjoy entertainm ents at the graded school building—have been insulted again and again by the hoodlums among Mocksville’s rising generation? W hat shall I say of the obscene language fre­ quently heard from the children of good parents? Of the cigarettes smoked by children, when the law forbids smoking (o minors? Of automobiles run by chauffeurs un der sixteen? O f girls congregating uncbaperoned in.such public places as the postofiice, the drug store or the depot, and by tbeir behavior biinging upon themselves the ad­ verse criticism (behind their backs) of the very men who flatter them to their faces?. It is time for parents to asset t their rightful authority. If their efforts will do no good because they do not “ iive w ith” their children—it m ight have a whole some effect upon the merely thoughtless, if the sheriff were to wait upon a few of the worst ol- fenders of law and order. Some who read this article may say: “ M uch does that old maid kuow about the rearing of child­ ren!” Sheknow s this much, at least: The proper rearing of child­ ren iB the hardest work in all the world, but.it is the holiest work in which men and women can engage. Then an old maid who has no children of ner own has more time for the observation of many peo pie’s children than an over-worked parent has, and her perspective may be in some cases truer. Be­ cause I love children and because I wish for Mocksville children the best that may be had in all things worth while. I have dared to write so plainiy. The children’s interest demands the combined influence of parents and teachers. The sug­ gestion is no new one, but I repeat it here: Mocksville needs copera- tive association of parents and teachers. Such an organizatior, to.which every parent in town, every member of the School Board and every teacher employed by them should contribute their loy­ al, moral support ought to be ef lected. -Com e, live w ith your children,” for the Iite is worth more than meat and and the bodv than rainm ent.” BERTHA M A RV IN LEE.

New State Law Requires Physicans and Householders to Report Cases to J. W. j Rodwell M. D , County Quarantine Of­ ficer Law Now InFoi-ce. To reduce the number of infec­ tious diseases ill the county and thereby prevent numbers of deaths, and save thousands of dollars, is the task that has recently been set be­ fore the people of this county. The new State Quarantine law imposes this task, but with it, it does not im­ pose any hardship or impossibility. It requires only that every citizen shall do his duty m reference to any contagious disease in his household or community. It presupposes that every citizen wants to his country rid of disease as far as possible and will do all in his power to bring this about. The State quarantine law, which went into effect August I, requires that every case of certain infectious disease in any home shall be report­ ed within twenty-four hours by eith­ er the physican incharge or, in case no physican is called in, bv the bou eholder, to the County Quaran­ tine Officer.

Wasington.—The second liberty loan campaign opened Monday with which to carry on the war. To obtain ¥3,000,000,000 in subscrip­ tions, the minimum set by treasury officials for the issue, a gigaatic ma­ chine of many parts stands were set in motion with the opening of tlio conipaign.

Fjeld Marshal Kaig’s men again are striking in Flanders, and the force of their blow, like that of those that have preceded it, is meeting with good -results on a front of nearly six miles. Notwithstanding the necessity of carrying the battle to Crown Prince Rupprecht across, uninviting ground— virtually a morass owing to recent rains and against the inevitable con­ crete and steel redoubts and woods and shell craters teeming with rapid- fire guns—the English, Scotch and Australian troops have snatched val­ uable vantage points from the Ger­ mans, but not without terrible oppo­ sition. The battle at last accounts was still raging, with the greatly reinforced Germans, who had anticipated the new thrust, fighting with unusual bit­ terness to hold back further British advandes or-to recapture terrain al- erady wrested from them. Location of New Drive. Haig’s new thrust was delivered from the base of front line positions captured and consolidated last week, before which the Germans held nu­ merous vantage points of strategic value, barring the way to further in­ roads by the British or for harassing the British line by machine gun and rifle bullets. As on previous occasion, Haig loosed a veritable inferno of artillery fire against the Germans- before launching his attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and when night fell many important posi­ tions had been ridded of the enemy, but with the Germans at numerous Dooling to aid the prosecution, to turn !

Mrs. Mary C. Mel­ vin, sister of the woman Menns is al­ leged to have killed, joined him ia ob­ taining a writ from Superior Court, Judge Webb, at Gastonia, ordering As­ sistant District Attorney Dooiing, of New York, and other New York and Chicago officials who came here with over the documents to the clerk of the superior court of Cabarrus county. The writ is made returnable before Superior Court Judge Cline, at Salis­ bury October 8. In Clement’s Position- Dooling'and other officials named in the order informed Sheriff Caldwell that the documents referred to wer3 'in the possession of Solicitor Clement, who conducted the prosecution of Means. The latter issued a statement, emerging from the battering of the saJ ^ g: i tropical hurricane which ' swept in ! from the Gulf of ?,Iexico near Pilot Town, La. The course of the storm shifted after striking Pilot Town from northwest to northeast and sweeping is understood, to apply them later to ;!,across a narrow portion jof southern .Louisiana, missed New Orleans but struck Gulfport, Biloxi and the Mis- Jmmediate Reduction to Consumer Is Expected. Washington.—Government control over the coal industry -was made com­ plete by ail order of Fnel Admiaio- trator Garfield limiting the-profits of retail coal and coke dealers through­ out the country to a basis which is expected to bring about an immediate reduction, in prices to the consumer. The order directs that the retailers shall fix their prices so as to limit their gross margins over cost to the average of such gross margins during the year 1915, plus a maximum of 30 per cent of the 1915 margin, provided that in no case shall the acerage mar­ gin of the month of July this year Jie exceeded. Local committees appointed by the federal fuel administrators in each state will see to it that the dealers comply with the order and the deal­ ers themselves will be called upon to return sworn cost sheets showing the facts upon which they have based their prices. Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as a normal year because the coal short­ age which resulted in continued rises hi prices did not begin until 1916. Tha additional 30 per cent is allowed to tover increased cost of doing business. Prices already fixed by the govern­ ment for coal at the mouth of the ®ine are near those charged in 1915, and with the jobbers’ charge now lim­ ited to 2» cents a ton and the cost of transportation not materially increas­ ed, the consumer in- every community should be ample to get coal of any de­ scription at-approximately the price paid .in 1915. any foreign ships chartered in th e!

Probably the most significant gain of the Britisii, which the Germans as­ sert was to a depth of two-thirds of a mile at certain points, . was near Zonneboke, to within a few hundred Jthe various,, courses, yards of' the western outskirts of j only a very slight falling off in the which village they penetrated, plac-j academic courses, the largest decline ing them about six miles from the railway running from Ostend through Roulers and Ror.baix to Lille. The cutting of this line, which seems to be the objective of Field Marshal Haig, would seriously affect the trans­ port of the Gormans from their naval bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge to the south. Score of Casualties Resulted From Bombs, Say Reports. For the second night in succession German airmen have raided the southeastern section of England and roached London.

HOLLIS AND VERA BECOME VERY FRIENDLYfTHOUGH HE IS UNAWARE OF HER IDENTITY—M’CANN MAKES TROUBLE AND REGRETS IT Synopsis.—Robert Hollis, who tells the story, is a guest on Girard Carrington’s yacht, Esm eralda. Xt is supposed to be a “stag” party, and Hollis is surprised on discovering a woman, who evidently wishes to remain unknown aboard. Hollis, the next niglit, succeeds in having an interview with the woman. She merely tells him her name is Vera. Carrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that he is engineering a copper pool. The yacht is sunk in a collision and Hol­ lis saves McCann, millionaire, and one of the party. Hollis and Mc­ Cann rescue Vera and leave the ship in a small boat. CHAPTER V—Continued. The sight of the little craft, stanch and buoyant, bobbing about just below us in the glow of light, brought back my courage. Ay, there was a chnnce here; we, could get-free of the doomed yacht; we were not to perish like drowning rats, helplessly. To be sure, the boat was a small one, a mere dinghy intended for use in smooth wa­ ters; why they had continued trailing it astern so far at sea was a m ystery; yet it would bear the three of us unless a storm arose. There was no time to seek either blankets or provisions, nor She W ent Down the Rope Hand Over Hand. w as there any fresh w ater to be had— but at least we need not go down with the ship. We had ;l a hope of res­ cue, a fighting chance—God be thanked for that I My hand closed over hers as she turned and looked a t me. Never in any eyes have I seen such glimpse of steady courage. “The boat is strong, stanch; she will carry us, Mr. H ollis?’ “Ay I this is better than I dared hope. B ut there is no time to lose; the yacht is settling fast—see those bubbles of air! Why, I can alm ost feel the droop of Uie planks beneath my feet. Here, McCann, bear a hand f Pull your­ self up by that flag locker; now get a grip here. Are you sailor enough to slide down that rope?’ H e stared at the boat, bobbing up and down on the black water, with lackluster eyes. “It—It will sink,” be half sobbed, “it—it is almost full of water.” “Sink nothing!” my disgust rising beyond control. “It will hold twice your w eight Down with you, and bail. Then stand by to help the lady. Over you go, my lad, If I have to pitch you headlong; this is no time to argue the m atter. Will you try it quietly?’ H e stared up into my face, but his fear of me must have been greater than of the lapping water below, for the strands of the rope slipped through his fingers, and an instant later he clambered Into the bow of the boat, and sank onto his knees in the water. To my relief the dory did not sink greatly beneath his weight, the water shipped proving scarcely ankle deep. It would support the three of us with­ out bailing. The yacht rolled to star­ board, fairly burying her rail. I thought she would never rise again, and my arm s clasped the girl to hold her steady. Then the hulk rose slowly, painfully, like a giant struggling for one last breath. No words can describe the dead, sodden feeling of the sinking hulk under us. CHAPTER Vi. Adriftfjn the Boat. To- cling there longer, to delay another moment, would be suicide. ' I leaned far over and looked down at the dinghy now rising and falling on the’ swell caused by the plunge of the yacht. McCann was upon his knees clinging to th e' gunwales, his face turned upward pleadingly toward the !light. “Catch this lantern, McCann,” called down to niin sharply. “I will ; it to you On the end of a rope, i! Now throw off the lash­ ing, and make the glim secure on the thw art behind you; better tie it to the lock. Good; you’ll make a sailor yet. Now listen; work your boat over until you can get a grip on the rudder chains, and hold h e r' steady—yes, to your rig h t; use one of the oars. Now hang on—I’m going to send the lady down; stand by to give her a hand.” He did as I bade him in a fashion, but was so awkward about it, I won­ dered the boat kept upright. Satisfied, I glanced aside at my silent companion. “Not a very easy gangway, but the best we have. Are you afraid?’ She smiled. “Not in the least, Mr. H ollis; these skirts are a nuisance, but I can climb like a boy. Help me keep my balance on the rail.” She was over so quickly I can scarce­ ly recall more than clasping her arm and she went down the rope hand over hand, as lightly as a sailor. By the tim e she reached the boat, her body was half submerged in the w ater, but McCann gave her his band, and assist­ ed In dragging her in over the side. “I am all right, Mr. Hollis,” she called in her clear, steady voice. “Now you come—come quick!” “Just a second more,” I answered. “Here is the line; haul It’in. Get out your oars, McCann, and pull. Don’t wait, or you’ll be sucked down when the yacht sinks. Never mind m e; I’ll jump from the rail, and swim out to you.” I climbed onto the rail, gripping an iron stanchion for support, and poised myself for the plunge. The boat, sur- sounded by its little circle of light, drifted away, McCann awkwardly struggling with the heavy oars. The lantern rays fell full on the girl’s up­ turned face, and once she held out her hands in pleading gesture. It could scarcely have been a m inute I hesi­ tated, yet suddenly beneath me came a sound of rending wood, a muffled ex­ plosion, and the deck reeled as though burst asunder. I leaped straight out­ ward, and went splashing down Into the sea. I m ust have sunk deeply, fo r I felt no swirl of the waters, no suction, but when I came again to the surface, nothing was visible but the bobbing lantern on the dinghy. The Esm eralda had disappeared. A faint cry reached me, and I answered it, striking out strongly toward the guiding light. Five minutes later, dripping and a bit ex­ hausted—for I had been ashore a long while—I managed to ciamber in over the stern. Even as I rested breathless on the thw art, I realized th at the girl had crept aft, and her hands sought mine. “Oh, I am so glad,” she’ sobbed, al­ most hysterically. “I w as afraid; I— I thought you went down w ith the yacht.” “No such luck. I jumped ju st as her decks blew up. Is there anything in sight?’ “I—I haven’t looked; but there is no sound, no light anywhere. Do you suppose the steam er has really left us?” ‘I have no doubt of it,” I answered, but stood up so as to see about more clearly. “They supposed all who lived had been picked up, and then continued on their course.” My eyes ranged the horizon, but I found nothing. We were alone on the great ocean in the grasp of the black night I sat down again dazed for the instant by the immensity of the. wa­ ters, the utter loneliness, and the sud­ den realization of the littleness of this cockleshell in which we floated. H er voice aroused me to a comprehension that I alone was a sailor, and that on me depended every chance for life. “Do you know, Mr. Hollis, where we are?” “Not exactly. I heard the captain state the position of the yacht yester­ day noon, about one hundred and fifty miles east and south of M ontauk; we have drifted some since.” “Are we in the steam er lanes?” “Not of the north Atlantic liners; they would pass' farther eastward. I cannot imagine w hat that fellow who rammed us was doing up in here so far out of his course.' Yes, that was a liner; I could sec the lights of her ports. The only vessel passing along here will be coasters, or, by luck; pos­ sibly some tram p bound Boston way. Now let’s see w hat is on board; try the locker forw ard; and Miss Vera, you might examine beneath the stern sheet. This boat has never been inboard since we sailed.” . THE DAVIE EEC0B1K They went at the task as though glad of the opportunity, McCann creep­ ing forw ard on hands and knees. “There’s nothing here,” he reported discouragingly, “but a roll of tarpau­ lin, some rope ends, and the splintered handle of a paddle.” “Well, what more do we w ant? T hat means a sail, if we can make a hole in one of the thw arts to step a m ast. How mueli cloth is there?” Two or three yards.” “Pass it back here; good, solid stuff th a t Now, Miss Vera, w hat are your discoveries?” She looked up quickly, her eyes sparkling in the dim gleam of the lan­ tern.. “A bag of sea-biscuit a sm all beaker of water, insipid, but sweet, some strong cord, and a brad awl.” “L ord!” I exclaimed, “this is almost .too good to be true. Why, we are out­ fitted for a voyage. However, there is little use endeavoring to rig up a jury m ast before daylight when we know In which direction to steer. McCann, you haven’t been overboard, and, no doubt your watch ru n s; w hat tim e is it?” H e fumbled about and found the timepiece, staring at it in am azem ent “M ust have stopped, Hollis,” he said. “No, by jove, the thing is running all right; the hands point to 1:30.” "That’s about the hour. The colli­ sion occurred b efore. eight bells, or else Seeley would have been on the bridge, instead of aft- by the cabin. H ave you any idea who w as saved?” “I heard the captain’s voice back there under the awning, ordering out the boats, and after I w as caught under th at wreckage Carrington came up from below and climbed along the fail. I called to him, but he paid no atten­ tion; there was considerable noise then, and he m ight not have heard me.” Vera w as leaning forw ard listening. “Did Mr. Seeley leave in the boats?” she asked. “W as he hurt?” I tried to stop him from answering by a gesture of my hand, but the m an w as gazing out over the port quarter, and saw nothing. “Seeley—the second m ate? No, he didn’t get away. The sam e spar that got me, caught him, and he never spoke after th at; seemed like a nice fellow, too.” H er face w as like m arble in the lamp­ lig h t "H e was killed! Then it w as be­ cause he w as killed he did not unlock my door; I—I am glad I know.” She buried her face in her hands, and sat there motionless. There was nothing I could do, or say, for I had no conception as to w hat the m an was to her—lover, husband, father, friend? Truly only the last relationship ap­ peared possible, for seemingly there could be no closer ties between the two. They were clearly not of the same class, yet the girl’s sorrow w as evidently real and genuine. To relieve my mind, I compelled Mc­ Cann to pick up a panakin, which had lodged under a thw art, and bail out the boat. H e crept about, grumbling to himself, but did a fairly good job. As no w ater oozed in through the seams, we were soon floating w ith much greater buoyancy, the planking under foot rapidly drying. The night was dark and thick, but w ithout rain. My w et clothes clung to m e In discomfort, yet I had no reason to fear evil results, as the air was warm, and the salt w ater had Its own virtue. It w as a gray, ghastly morning, the sky overcast, the great surges bearing down upon us, ever rac­ ing toward our little cockleshell, ter­ rifying in their aspect! The sharp bow of the dinghy rose to them buoyantly enough, but the broad expanse of trou­ bled w aters stretching all about, the black, cloud shadows overhead, and the little boat In which we were tossed, combined to bring to me a feeling akin to despair. The only hope w as the possible overhauling of some passing ship, but the lowering sky scarcely en­ abled me to see clearly a' hundred' yards, even in the light of the gray It W as a Gray, Ghastly Morning. dawn. A rescuing vessel might easily pass us by within a quarter of a mile unseen, nor had we any means of at­ tracting attention. I confess that, sit­ ting there in loneliness, staring about into the grim expanse of fog and sea, I fell into a blue funk. Nor was I greatly heartened when the sun finally rose above the horizon, for it was no more than a sullen red glow, barely visible through the clouds of vapor, and only rendering more ghastly than ever the heaving leagues of ocean. My glance turned, downward to my companions in the boat. McCann still Sleptv With head pillowed on his arm, but the woman lay w ith her oyes^wMe open, looking upward at the -drifting spume. H er eyes m et mine, and she sat up, grasping the gunwale with one hand, and stared about her over the drear expanse of sea. “There is nothing in sight?” she spoke wearily. “Are you sure Mr. Car­ rington made his escape?” “As certain as I can be. I did not see him after I left the party in the after cabin last evening. But McCann insists that he came on deck, and joined the others in lowering the boats. Beyond doubt he got awny safely, and was picked up by the liner.” She was silent for some time, her gaze on the m an sleeping in the bows. He rolled over, revealing his face, gray and haggard In the dawn. “Wlio—who Is tfiat m an?’ she ques­ tioned. “You call him M cCann; is he a sailor?” “No; he w as one of the guests. H e is a rich man’s son, who occasionally takes a flyer on W all street.” “Not—not Fergus McCann?” “I believe that is his name, now th at you recall it. W hy? Did you ever know the fellow?” “Only by reputation, which is not the best. H e was involved rather un­ pleasantly in the Bascom shooting case.” “Aye, I remember. I read about the affair in a Chicago paper a t the time, but failed to comprehend it w as this McCann who w as involved. Did Bas- com die?” “H e will be crippled fo r life ; of course his assailant m ay not have been entirely to blame—-it was a drunken quarrel over a woman.” “Well,” I said quietly, “the m an is in for a job of sailor work here, wheth­ er it pleases him, or not. H e acted a bit sullen last night, but I am in no mood ju st now to baby him. H ave you ever steered a boat w ith an oar, Miss Vera?” “I have done lots of canoeing, and last sum m er a t Palm Beach,” she stopped, laughing a t the slip— “Yes, actually a t Palm Beach, I steered some larger boats. I—I believe I could.” “You will find this somewhat dif­ ferent. Still, there is‘ not much of a trick to it, and I am going to let you try your hand. Do you think you can hold her all right?” “Of course I can,” alm ost indignant­ ly. “Really, Mr. Hollis, I have steered boats in worse seas than this, if the oar wasn’t quite so heavy—” “There is no steering paddle aboard. Well, if anything goes wrong, sing out. I’m going to rout out th at fellow for­ ward, and get a t our work.” I cannot say th at McCann w as par­ ticularly pleasant about it; he had a way of showing th at he rather resent­ ed m y assum ption of authority, and perform ed w hat I ordered w ith a de-- liberatioa which w as alm ost insolent. However, he m ade no open revolt, and I thought it best not to anger the m an unnecessarily. W e worked steadily for an hour, the fellow proving practically useless,, except to hand me the article required, or to throw his weight on a rope’s end. Vera succeeded in holding the boat steady, although I thought the weight of the waves increased as though we were on the outer edge of some storm. I lashed an oar upright to a thw art, bracing it securely by ropes to oar- IoCkseon either side; then secured the broken paddle handle as a spar, notch­ ing the oar to give purchase, and rigged up the tarpaulin, being compelled to use rope-ends to secure it In position. It w as a rough job, yet the sttff canvas bellied out in the wind, and I w as con­ scious of a thrill of hope, as I crept back to the stern sheets, grasped the steering oar, and headed the boat into the southw est CHAPTER VII. I Enforce Authority. Scarcely had we taken this new course when the sun, now well above the horizon, a red ball of fire, burst through a rift In the clouds, and the w aters in our wake became a trail of crimson. T he encircling m ist seemed rent asunder by some invisible power, whirling away like w reaths of smoke blown by the wind, and yielding us broad view to where sky and ocean met. Our straining eyes caught no­ where a signal of life or hope, no gleam of distant soil, no black Miadow of smoke. W e w ere alone In the drear w aste of w ater, w ith not even a speed­ ing seagull to break the dull vista of w arring sea and sky. I forced m yself to turn aw ay from the grim fascination, back to the boat in ,-which we floated. McCann had sunk down abaft the jury m ast, and rested there hanging over the side, staring moodily down into the green water. H is heavy face exhibited no interest and looked alm ost brutal in the garish lig h t Lord, how the appearance of the m an had changed!. Could this be the same fellow I had played cards with on the quarterdeck of the Esm er­ alda only two days before? W hy, then he had been the life of the company, full of humor, a bit rough in speech to be sure, and drinking more than was necessary, yet apparently a good fel­ low. . B ut now—why, he actually had the aspect of a brute; aye, and like­ wise the m anners of one. A single night of danger and exposure had suf­ ficed to bring to the surface his true character, had stripped off the veneer, and ptoven him a bullying coward, in­ efficient,and unwilling. I felt my teeth close tightly as I looked a t him, but relief came when I turned toward the girl,, seated near me. She m ust have felt the intentness w ith which I re­ garded her, for she turned suddenly, a flush sweeping her cheeks. “Isn’t it wonderful, Mr. Hollis, the way those clouds -and waves blend ydnder, such a marvelous massing of «ulort!>. Oh, finht » no beauty like the sea!* “But alw ays a cruelty in its beauty, like th at of a tiger cat,” I answered. “Perhaps we had better breakfast, Miss V era; let me see your bag of bis­ cuits by daylight.” She brought them forth, together with the jug. A little sea w ater had seeped into the bag, and the outer lay­ ers were more or less mildewed, yet enough rem ained sw eet and wholesome to give me hope of their sustaining us until we should be picked up by some passing vessel. The w ater jug, how­ ever, was only half-filled and m ust be sparingly used. “W e will go on short rations,” I an­ nounced, breaking a biscuit with my “ He H as-a Revolver." knife. “Ju st enough to keep us from starving. H ere, McCann, is'y o u r por­ tion.” H e reached out and took 'w hat I handed him ; then gave utterance to a curse. “My God! do ■ you m ean I am to breakfast on this half biscuit?” he ex­ claimed angrily. “On that, or on none a t all,” I an­ swered, eyeing him sternly. “You haven’t done so much work as to earn double rations. . I give you the same as I take myself. AU we have is w hat is in this bag, and heaven knows when we shall m eet a ship.” “Ship, h ! We are not fa r from Long Island.” “Two hundred miles a t least, and w ith this jury rig we should have to make some wide tacks on th at course. , Take w hat I give you, man, and be de­ cent about it.” H e grumbled som ething regarding his belief th at I w as keeping m ost of the food for myself, but I broke in, de­ term ined to end the discussion: “T hat’s talk enough. E at your half biscuit the sam e as we do, and be thankful you have got th a t; and when you come to the w ater, one swallow each will be all w e are entitled to. You hear me?” “Yes, I hear you; but who jn thun­ der are you?” “The only seam an on board, McCann, and the life of this young lady, as well as your own, depends on my judgment. I am noi seeking trouble w ith you, but you will obey m y orders while we are afloat here, or ‘take the consequences. T hat half biscuit is your ration; eat it, or leave it, as you please, but you’ll cut out th e : profanity, and 111 not w arn you again.” H e w as too great a. coward to force the issue, and fell to m unching his bis­ cuit, one hand gripping the gunwale, as though he wished my throat w as be­ tween his fingefs. As I nibbled a t my own sm all portion, watchful of his movements, and thinking of how best to keep the fellow a t a safe distance, the girl leaned tow ard me, and whis­ pered a word in my ear. "H e'has a revolver. I s a w th e b u tt in his pocket, while he lay asleep in the bow. You will be careful, Mt. Hol­ lis?” “You need have no fear for me,” I answered reassuringly, and ventured to touch her hand w here it rested on the thw art between us. “I have been a bucko m ate, my lady, and learned how to handle his kind. H he ever draws a gun on me out here, Tll teach him som ething he never learned yet in WaU street.” • The hours of th at day fairly dragged along, as we stared out dull-eyed on the sam e vista of sea and sky. The girl and I talked, avoiding as much as possible aU reference to our situation, and the fate of the yacht, our conver­ sation drifting here and there. We spoke of books, of art, of drama, and she exhibited even a wider range of knowledge on these- subjects than I possessed, while her comments were keen and original—not pedantic, nor bookish in any way, but the outspoken frankness of young womanhood. Tn- deed, she w as wholesome aU through, her face a m irror of her nature, her eyes reflecting back each mood. Never before had I m et one of her sex so deeply interesting, so unconventional and plain-spoken. The castaw ays are sighted by a strange ship which takes them aboard. Then their real adven­ ture begins. - ATO BE CONTINUED.) Right One to Switch. Irate Parent—I w arned you boys, and now I’m going to sw itch you for m aking such a racket.

Already, the pro­ duct m anufactures in the mountain coves of western North Carolina once faimous for their moonshine, has been sampled by competent judges who have declared it good, surpassing even in quality the W isconsin cheese which comes South. As the state’s infant industry, cheese-making stands with soy-bean itrcduction as among the very hopeful signs of spreading prog­ ress. ‘ . .. Mr, A. J. Reed, of the dairy field office, states that calls for cheese ex­ hibits have come from several fairs and expositions. The dairy field office will send Mr. D. R, Noland with a fine exhibit to the Southeastern fair in At­ lanta, aG. The creameries of the state will send butter and milk; and the cheese factories will send sam­ ples of their product to_ compete for the scores and the money. AU facto­ ries will send three cheeses—one, each, to be used and two, each to be In the special display representing North Carolina in the agricultural hall. Some of the factories plan to send cheese of various types and sizes. Another exhibit is being collected by Mr. F. R. Farnham for use at the Southern Commercial Congress which m eets in New York City. Still an­ other will awake a feeling of pride in the hearts of the m ountaineers at the WaynesviHe Fair, October 2-5. This will be the first dairy exhibit yet held a t the fair and it Is expected to en­ courage dairying and cheese factory organizations in the section. Still an­ other and larger exhibit will be made by the dairy .field office at the State Pair at Raleigh on October 1-20. Both cheese and dairy products will he shown here so that the people may see just what Is being done along this line in their own state. Alottg with this work, Mr. Farnhasn bas just organized three more factories in Alleghany county. These are now buying ,equipment to be ready for ■oper­ ation by spring. Cheese Factories Have Big Output. R etarning from a trip to the moun­ tain section of w estern North Caro­ lina, Mr. A. J. Reed, of the office of dairy farming, reports that the 18 cheese factories now In operation are selling about $10,000 worth of cheese per m onth. Mr. Reed found much en­ thusiasm over the coming of the cheese factories to the section. W ith the co-operation of his assistants, Mr. F. B. Firnham and D. R. Noland, the farm ers in the m ountain region have organized 22 factories to date and have requests for perfecting the or­ ganization of ten m ore a t places where all conditions are extremely fa­ vorable for placing them. There is also a great demand for trained cheese m akers and a num ber of young men expect to come to W est Raleigh to attend the cheese-maker’s course, w hich will be given by the animal in­ dustry division a t a later date. Some of the enthusiasm for the fac­ tories is- based on actual cash returns by the patrons. During the m onth of August Mr. F. R. Rich, one of the pa­ trons of the Beaver Creek Cheese Fac­ tory, sold 5256 worth of m ilk from his heard of 16 Holsteiil cattle, eight of them having already been in m ilk eight months. Mr. A. Li. W ilson, of -Vilas, sold $106.66 worth of m ilk, from his eleven cows, with only five of them being grade Holstein heifers. The cows In both of these herds received no food except that supplied by pasturage. Several of the factories in this region plan to make an exhibit of their cheese at the State Fair. This will be the first exhibit of the home product that has been seen. Quite a num ber of them expect to send a good exhibit to the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta this fall. Both Mr. Farnham and Mr. Noland have found it necessary to purchase small cars to aid in their work in the region. prdon Granted Clyde Melton. pardon was granted by Governor jfekett tor Clyde Melton, Buncombe nnty, serving since 1912 on an 18- gar sentence for second degree mur- fr.

Over the Fence and Out. At the Gibson county fair at Prince-- ton there are places where the fences- must be guarded to keep boys and- others from swarming over and in ,. says the Indianapolis News. T his' year one of the am ateur policemen? appointed for a long strip of fence sat down in the shade and fell asleep. Ben Murphy, president of the association, chanced to see a long, gangling youths climb the fence there. “You’ll have- to pay or ge.t o u t” he told the youth.. “Got no money; guess I’ll get o u t”" was the response. “No, on geeond thought,” said Murphy, “I’U let you- stay In on condition.

Ton I can head them as low as you desire, • and in these (lays of spraying we m ust liave low-headed trees, and low heads I are-better in many respects. The stems : are soon shaded and protected from ; sunscald; they do not blow over so badly, and In'sleet storms in w inter , the ground catches the limbs before ’ they can break. They are so easily harvested that many large orehardists are now planting only this kind. The illustration shows how small a tree can be planted and how lowly pruned, i The first pruning of tlie-apple should : be done when the tree is ope year old. I Cut back to within two or two and ! one-half feet of the ground. The young I tree will then throw out small shoots ; from the ground up. WhOn these are I two or throe inches long, all should be >rubbed off except from five to six of those near the top, which are left to form the head of the tree. The sec- j oml Jiruning consists in cutting these back to about twelve inches. Two year old trees purchased from the nursery are usually headed back the first.year and come with these first side shoots. In such cases, they should be shortened as above stated. The third year the new shoots-which are left to form the main head of the tree should be short- tened back to about 16 inches. At this time' it is a lso . necessary: to remove some of the side shoots in order to keep the growth from becoming too thick. Pruning the fourth season is sim ilar to the third. The shape of the trees depends largely on the pruning which is given the first four years, so the work should be carefully done. Af­ ter the fourth year there is not much need to shorten back the main branches unless one has grown much longer than the rest.' In such cases, in order to preserve the shape of the tree,' they should be made as nearly evenas possible. AU the pruning after this consists mainly in keeping the tree thinned out and also det^d and ipter- l'eriug branches removed. .- tI LEMONS BRING OUT THEHIDDENBEAUTYi ICI1 I 1 1 M oney b a c k w ith o u t q u e s tio n if H U N T 'S C U R S fa ils In th e tre a tm e n t o f IT C H , EC ZEJEA t , ^ IN G W O R S flT E T T E R o r o th e r J Itc h in g s k in d is e a se s .

B ut lemon juice alono is acid, therefore irritating,»and should be mixed with orchard whitfi this way. Strain through-a fine- cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle eontainihg about three ounces of orchard white, then shako well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this.lotion will rem ain pure and fresh for months. W ien applied daily to the face, neck, arm s and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smootlien and beautify the skin.

This new drug is an ether compound, and dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding skin. Just think! Xou can lift off your corns and calluses now without a bit of pain or soreness. If your druggist hasn’t freezone he can easily get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv.

GslMki Ojtlcsl Co., Ritbmdhd, Vk Paying Proposition for Every Farm — Any of Common Fruits Grow Successfully. If the tops of your trees are nipped by excessive cold this w inter do not chop down the trees at first sight. W ait until the leaves start, prune oSE all dead wood and cultivate the ground thoroughly. This will put new life in your trees. Some people seem 'to think that in order to spray their orchards they must have a big two-horse outfit and pay out a lot of money to start. Noth­ ing of the kind! An orchard of 100 trees can quickly be sprayed by a bar­ rel sprayer set on a %led, drawn by a single horse. Scraping out the dead wood and fill­ ing the cavity w ith cement will be the means of saving valuable trees that would otherwise be destroyed by rot. W e cannot paint peaches a nice lus­ trous color without a liberal use of potash. Plow the peach orchard in the spring and keep down the weeds and grasses until September, then sow rye or crim­ son clover to plow under next spring. Elevated sites are desirable, for peach orchards; some of the oldest peach trees are on the tops of hills. The application of too much fresh manure stim ulates aii unhealthy growth of wood and leads to winter killing of many of the peach buds.. A few mulberry trees set out around the fruit orchard will divert the atten­ tion o? birds and afford a windbreak for the fruit trees. Poultry and plum growing make a nice combination for the small grower who wishes to make use of his poul­ try yards. The human eye is the great fruit buyer and we m ust put our fruit up in neat attractive packages if we care to obtain the best prices on the m arket. A small orchard is a paying proposi­ tion for every farm . ' Fruit raised at home is better than that purchased from some other man’s farm or from a fruit stand. Any of the common fruits grow suc­ cessfully on almost every farm. Ap­ ples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries and grapes should be the principal fruits. The orchard should he on an ele­ vated location. It is not wise to set trees in a "flat." In low places late frost often kills fruit. Soils should be carefully selected for the orchard. Select soils best suited to the fruits planted. Prepare the soil' thoroughly before planting. The best method is to break as deeply as possible and follow with the harrow in order to pulverize. It is always best to purchase trees dircct from a reliable nursery that is inspected regularly by state officials. It is not desirable to deal with, agents. Trees are propagated principally by budding and grafting. Seedling trees are undesirable, as .they seldom pro­ duce good fruit. AVhen planting trees, remove all in­ jured limbs and roots. Holes in which trees are placed should be large enough to allow the roots to take natural posi­ tions. Trees should be cultivated regularly. They respond to good treatm ent as 'veil as tiny oi the cultivated crops. Trees will not do well in poor spll I without a liberal supply of fertilizer. An application of fertilizer often means the difference between a good crop and no fruit. F or the first two or three years after setting the trees, two or three rows of any of the low-growing crops can be grown between the rows of trees. Grain should always be avoided. Leguminous cover crops, fowii regu­ larly, will take the place of a large amount of the fertilizer necessary for the orchard. Sow them in SeptembDr and turn in early spring. Pruning carefully every year will prolong the life Knd increase the value of any fruit tree. The diseases of the trees and fruits are very numerous. The only method of controlling them is by spraying regularly every year. The best varieties should always be selected for the orchard: Selett them in' such a m anner as to provide fruit the entire year. Timorous Lover. A woman went into a store for a pair ■ of slippers.

Plant Cultivated Crop Yaar or _ Two Earlier and Keep Soil Welj Conditioned. (B r :.r. A. BEESO N , D epartm ent of Ag­ ronom y, O klahom a A. and M. College. Stillw ater.) In preparing the seedbed for alfalfa you should begin’ a year- or two before you wish to seed by planting a calti- cated crop, keeping the ground well- cultivated and free from weeds. Corn is a good crop to precede alfalfa. The critical period of alfalfa is the first six weeks of the life of tlie'plrint The ground should be plowed early and deep. It should be free from weeds and as free as possible from weed seed. It should be well tilled, but firm up to the surface when seeded. Fall seeding in September w ithout a nurse crop is considered the surest method to fol­ low. However, if there is not a favor­ able season and sufficient moisture in the fall, you may sow at corn or cot­ ton-planting tim e in the spring.-: From 12 to 15 pounds of seed per acre is am ­ ple if the seed is clean and strong. W hen it is sown with a grain drill attachm ent, on well-prepared seedbed, and when sown carefully and not, too deep, from ten to twelve pounds of .seed is quite sufficient. The seed 5s small and does not nc-ed to be sown too deep—just So you get it into the moist dirt.

A fter 337 ye'ars' the historic Villa Farnesina, on the banks of the Tiber, a half-mile distant from St. Peter’s church, will again be occupied by de­ scendants of its original owners and builders, the Princes of Cliigi, says a Bome correspondent. The head of the house, Prince Lu- dovic Cliigi, who last year was ap­ pointed m arshal of the Holy church and tiie guard of the Conclave and, therefore, rules the Vatican during the Interim between the death of a pope and the election of a new one, recently disposed of the Cliigi palace to the Italian government. It is stated that by this sale he w as put in a position to buy back the Villa Farnesina, erected in 1509-11 by the Papal banker, Agos- tino Chigi, a’nd notable because of its frescoes by Kaphae!. The palace will be restored and re­ furnished as it was when first occupied by the Chigi family, an auction sale having been held recently to rid Hie palace of the furniture left there by the king of Naples. The return of the Cliigis is consid­ ered rem arkable since it is proverbial in Rom e—that when once a family leaves its home it leaves forever. MOTHER!

Of course we have no fine cakes and pies. The barracks are well arranged and must be kept clean by the boys. Be ing away from home seems to be the greatest objection of all the boys. Yours truly, M.

E xam ples O f G erm an “ K u ltu r.” A personal friend of mine returned yesterday from Montana where he saw a crowd of two hundred Belgians orphans whom Americans have saved from worse than death. Nearly every child had been muntilated by Prussians soldiers, arms, hands, or feet having been cut off and in many cases the ears and noses having been split. One of our school teachers knows a Ca- nadin, who, with his own eyes, saw in northern France the breasts of women nailed to barn doors and used by Prussian soldiers for target shooting. Survivors of ruined towns have told of little children running out of burning buildings only to caught on Prussians bayonets and tossed back into the flames. Twelve-year-old fared worse; after having been made to serve the lusts of Prussian gangs they were left dying in their mothers, sight. This Canadian says nothing is below the deviltry of the Prussian soldier. A Sioux Indian is a gentleman beside him. T. BAILEY LEE. Burley, Idaho.

A “near accident” m ay be defined a a a happening, the nature of which is dangerous to persons, hut which did pot result In Injury owing to the for­ tunate absence o£ a m an Irom a par- iticular spot, or to his quickness, or to the m erest other chance," but the recurrence of which is always a peril— a peril which should be abolished by proper care. ‘ A: fam iliar illustration of a near acci­ dent is the case of a person caught be­ tween two trains traveling in oppo- . Bite' directions on different tracks, but Whcj escaped death or. injury by lying down between the tracks. There are zutny other such Instances of escaped injury,- inside as well as outside the lncjustrial shops. Tools and m aterials flopping from scaffolds and roofs, but striking no one. Ladders falling or slipping with men who land unhurt, vehicles skidding and just missing pedestrians or other vehicles—all Oiese are common occurrences. These are but few of the many in- Btaices th at will suggest themsielves to ' the average readier, but in every instance of this kind there is la lesson from which every one should profit. “Near accidents” are a fruitful source ©ij suggestion, for precautions to be observed, and for rules to be formu­ lated: for the Avoidance,of dangerous practices. ^Regrettable as It may be, however, UjEe fact remains that too little atten­ tion! Is paid to "near accidents." It seems to require actual accidents to startle us sufficiently. This should aof be so. There is just as much in­ struction to be had from “near acci­ dents” as from actual accident.

OCTOBER 10, 1917.• NUMBER13 WKat FarmenijGeb ; The public thinks of prices to pro­ ducers in terms of market-topping records. Those are the prices that get onto tne front pages of daily papers. Few readers have the hardi hood to dig into the detail of the market papers, “ W heat reaches three-fifty," “ three dollars bushel for potatoes,” and “ twenty-cent hogs,” are the phrases that catch the wandering eye of the consumer as he munches his bacon and sips his coffee. “ Farming is a great business,” says he. But how much of the total goes at these prices to the farmer? Moi e than half the wheat crop is. usually marketed in August, September, October and November. Last year the average price received by the producer for his wheat during those months was about $135 a bushel— far from $3 50! Half the potato crop leaves the farmer’s hands in September, Octo­ ber and November. During those months in 1916 the price to him averaged $1.19 a bushel, and it will proably be much less this year. Hogs go to m arket in largest num­ bers in November, December and January, and during the Jast period covered by those months the average price for hogs of all grades was a- bout $8.90 a hundred. Only a few farm ers specualate by holding their crops for high market. Therecords prove-it. One reason more non’t do it is because they can’t. Thereare too many chances of loss and they haven’t the cash reserve or the storage facilities. Such crops as hogs m ust be market­ ed when finished, for costs pile up rapidly and margins diminish. Iffarm ers could hold their stuff as long as the pleased, the consumer would have no reason to worry. A farm ers’ union could then stick up the price to the limit of the nation’s pocket book.; B ut it hasn’t been done and, as business is* now done- on the farms, it can’t very W6ll be done.—Conntrv Gentleman; Not To Seize Food Supplies.

There is no definite news to write but all the indications point to the end of the war in 1918. A ustria is hungry and sick and tired. She has suffered enough and wants to quit. She is ready to accept peace on almost any terms, and Germany w ith its iron hand will not be able to bold her steady much longer. Bnssia is in hopeless confusion,, but K erensky has determ ined to adopt the policy of “ blood and iron,” and if he lives it is earnest Iy hoped that he may yet be able to rally the disorganized elments and hold his forces in line. There is small prospect, however, that Bnssia will do much effective fight­ ing. On the western front the French and B ritish armies are Steadilyadvancing and the Ger­ mans retreating. No signal vic­ tories have .been won, bat the Crown Prince who was so brillant- Iy aggressive the first year of tne war, has not gained an inch for the last six months, but on the other hand has lost ground steadi­ ly. and every assault he has made has been repulsed.

Take a walk through the cemetery alone and you will pass the resting place of a mail who blew into the muzzle of a gun to see if it was loaded. A little further down the slope is a crank who tried to show how close he could stand to a mov­ ing train while it passed. In stroll­ ing about you will see the monument of the hired girl who tried to . start the fire with kerosene, and a grass covered knoll-that -covers the boy who put a cob under the mule’s tail. That tall shaft over a man who blew out lire gas casts a shadow over the boy1 who tried to get on a mov­ ing train.

' Take Other Property. A delegation . from the western part of the state went to Washing­ ton to get the government to stay the hand of the railroads from con­ fiscating private shipments of coal. The Iredell Ice Fuel Co., of this place last week had two cars of coal taken by the railroads and cries from all over the state are.going-up over- a shortage of coal -because- the rail­ roads are-confiscating. No doubt the railroads are serving in a great and necessary capacity in the'chain so necessary to carry on the war, but at the same time the people need coal and supplies to carry on necessary parts of this nation-wide work. 3 The coal being confiscated belongs to the people aftd the rail­ roads are only acting as carries.

A woman and her two daughters were charg­ ed with running a disorderly house and found guilty and bound over to the Superior court. ,If they are guilty they should be punishejd. If the evidence be true, at least 25 men andboys are just as guilty, yet they go.fiee and no stigm a is placed q a them. No one or three women can alone run a disorderly house. The-m en and boys who help and make it pos­ sible to run such a house, should also be alike punished both by so­ ciety and the courts. God only has one standard for man aud wo­ men. In C hrist’s day, a woman convicted of such a crime, was stoned to.death. One was brought to him to pronounce the penalty Doubtless the men were standing around with lustful ears and eyes to hear and to see how he wonld try her. The evidence proved she was guilty. Christ looking at Uie gaping men, said, “ P u t her to death, but let him that is without sin east the’ first stone.” Not a stone was thrown. She went free.. We need just laws aud just courts.

Davie had furn­ ished 58. men, Ieaviqg 29 yet to go. Sev­ eral have, reported to the local boardsince Let Us Reason Together. The farmers of Davie county are being urged to grow more grain and food-stuffs this coming year than ever before. This is a good idea, and would m°an much money to the farm er. B ut how are the farm ers to raise mote grain when they cannot procure sufficient la­ bor to till the soil or harvest the crops. Farm labor has been very scai i-e for the past few years, but conditions are worse today than at any time since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The Rei-i rd receives letters alm ost ev erj day urging as to insist that the farmer raise more food stuff. Knowing conditions as we do in Davie, «e haven’t the nerve to in­ sist that the farm er increase his acreage. Davie county has been called upon to furnish 87 young men for the arm y. Of this num ber, at least 60 were farm boys. VVhoeanwe find to take their places? The big tobacco factories that are furnishing our boys with cigarettes, cigars and chewing to bacco, have almost swept our boys completely off the farm s. H uud reds of our farm er boys are now in the factories in W inston Salem and other towns, and are consumers in­ stead of producers. W ho can we fiud to take their places? M any of our best iaim ers have traded their stock for automobiles and have moved to town or have quit farming and gone to hauling pro­ duce. W here caD we find a.set of men to take tbelr places? M any good farmers have quit tilling the soil and are hauling lum ber which the country m ust have to bnild camps for the soldiers, and also to build factories to turn out eupplies for this country and Europe. W ho can we get Jto take their places? T befarm er cannot yay as high wages as the big mills and factor ies, and if he could, the boys in the towns and cities would not leave the moving pictuie shows and other city attractions for a job on the faim , where he would have to arise before dawn and work un til daik. The cities and towns are building rapidly, but a9 they build the ruial districts grow less. If Governor B iekett1 M r. Hoover, or auy other city dweller will tell us where ihe farmer can hire some farm help at a reasonable price, then we will be glad to urge the farmer in every issue of The Re­ cord to plant bigger crops. The farm er is getting gcod prices for his crops, but he cannot produce greater crops w ithout- more help. “Pike's Peak or Bust” Editor Record:—History tells us that “Nero fiddled while Rome was burning." It does not seem to matter that the peo­ ple are suffering from high taxes, and the high cost of living—twelve thousand dol­ lars in bonds have got to be issued and Depot street built over at double the cost under normal conditions.. It’s get to be did. Do these bond sellers realize that the great majority of our people are wage earners, and are working for a small wage at that? Do they realize tbat many of them are not able to pay for all the food and clothing their families consume; and that some of the children are unable . to attend school because of these conditions. Every dollar taken from the laboring man for unnecessary taxes at this time, de­ prives his family of actual necessities. Is it wise? is it right to increase his burdens at this time? E. H. MORRIS.

Taylor, of the .Jericho sec­ tion, was in to renew his subscrip­ tion last week, and told us about his good tobacco patch. Mr. Taylor had three quarters of an acre in tobacco. Out of this patch he- has marketed 788 pounds, for which he received $257.66. He has about 150 pounds yet to sell T h eav erag ew asab o u t 34 cents per pound, and this was not a good tobacco year. No wonder our farm ers are rejoicing. With m eat 35-cents per pound, eggs 40 cents a dozen, corn $2 per bushel, cotton 25 cents a pound and wheat $2 30 per bushel, what hinders them from be­ ing happy. Even tobacco baskets are over $1 each. The farm er who doesn’t pay his debts this fall is in­ deed a sorry citizen. To Build Bridge. TheCounty Commissioners were in special session Monday.

C I f : : PEACE CONGRESS Colonel House Undertakes Un­ usual Task at Request of President Wilson. ■A * J I does NBT aim to end war IlVork is to Equip Government With Data That Will Be .Important When the Hostilities Come V> a Close. Kew York.—Col. E. M. House, who was asked by President Wilson to un­ dertake the task of preparing data for the use of the United States when the warring nations gather about the con­ ference table to discuss peace terms, iias entered actively upon the perform­ ance of his unusual duties. ,His first move was to select Dr. John H. Finley, commissioner of education of the state of New York, as his chief assistant, Doctor Finley will bring to the work ,JJ the information which he gathered on a recent trip to Europe, where he made an extensive study of conditions. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that the appointment of. the president’s in­ timate friend and counselor to tills po­ sition Is not indicative of any move for peace at this time but Is merely pre­ paratory to the peace conference which must come inevitably at some time In the future. The selection of Doctor Finley is in­ dicative of the sort of experts with whom Colonel House will confer. No man or woman with a- preconceived opinion which might tem pt one to color circumstances so as to prove the cor­ rectness of a personal point of view, will he permitted to .participate, in a work where open-mindedness is a. pre­ requisite to the arrival at conclusions that will enable the government to de­ termine upon a correct policy. Emphasis is put upon the unalter­ able determination that neither pro­ fessional pacifists nor confirmed mili­ tarists can 'be in the slightest degree useful in preparing statistics for gov­ ernmental guidance, which must be without taint of bias. In an interview Colonel H ousem ade it plain that his appointment does not Indicate any thought of immediate peace is now being entertained by the United States governm ent He agrees with Lord Northcliffe. in his message delivered before the American Bank­ ers’ association in Atlantic City that peace seems far off and America should beware the trickery and treach-fin­ely that this effort on- the part of the United States to' analyze war condi­ tions and evolve a plan of proceedure when hostilities end is a belated one, Just as our m ilitary preparations lugged for a period. B ut now it Is “full steam ahead and damn the tor­ pedoes” with our army and'navy with not a thought of let-up in m ind,: so from now on there will be urgent prosecution of search for material, his­ torical and informative, concerning, the world war. This quest of data , will keep pace with an energetic, prosecu­ tion of the contest, but will not halt it ;n any way. To pause now In any phase of belligerent endeavor might make the prospect of peace even more rem ote than it seems at present. No Sign of Early Peace. The government sees nothing_what- --'VCT to indicate the early approach . of Peace, nor will Colonel B ouse.have anything to do with ascertaining the Point of view of either -the Entente belligerents-or .the central powers, or possible terms upon the basis of which they might be willing to enter Into, nie- gnliations.'He will remain in the Unit­ 'd States. It Is possible that the state departm ent wlil be able to afford him' aid in the work he has undertaken, last he will not work with the depart­ ment nor In a diplomatic capacity, for­ mal or informal. He will have no title and will , receive no salary. The appointment of Colonel House affords another Illustration of the ex­ panding position of the U nited. States in world affairs. Heretofore the state department has been equipped with virtually all the Information that was necessary to the solution of interna­ tional problems In which the United Stales has taken a direct interest. The war has brought new problems and Projected this country into a field of International activity which it has sel­ dom entered before. The questions which will come be­ fore the peace conference a t the end of the war will be multitudinous. The freedom of the seas, the neutralization of seaways, the political homeogerielty of peoples who claim the right of-self- government and the disposition of ter- fItorial possessions involving economic, Inrtmical and political questions, will oe some of Uie many subjects ' to be considered, and the information upon which conclusions may be based aart policies decided must be at hand.

But In the disposition of general questions, relat­ ing to econofnic intercourse and po­ litical development which will affect virtually all the nations of tlie world, the United States will have a potent voice. In accordance with the'.policy that has been consistently followed since tlie outbreak of the war of hold­ ing aloof from European combinations except in tlie prosecution of the war. this government probably will not at­ tem pt to aid_in tlie settlement of tradi­ tional Euorpean quarrels, except pos­ sibly as a m atter of friendly interest If opportunity arises.' House Likely to Be Delegate. It,w a s said unofficially that when the time comes to organize a peace Conference, Colonel H ou.se, by virtue of his- present assignment, would in all probability be. selected as one of the delegates from the United States. It will be a part of Colonel House’s task to gather Intelligence relating to commercial, economic and political Slt-' uations abroad. He YiiiI keep abreast, of developments in all imn-mllitar.v af­ fairs. Colonel House will liave associated with him, as has been stated, several experts, ■ probably college professors, economists and specialists in commer­ cial and financial affairs. The work he is to perform will not be connected with similar undertakings in any of the countries with which the United- States is associated In the war. The United States government isn’t getting ready to enter into peace ne­ gotiations with Germany, isn’t going to meddle in strictly European ques­ tions relating to the war, and isn’t ne­ gotiating just yet on the problems of peace with the Entente, as has fre­ quently been surmised. Must Have Data in Advance. . It is important for the United States government now and will be even ‘more im portant later on to have a so- called “who’s who and ■ what’s what" in the w ar in order that all phases in­ volved may be properly understood by reference to data compiled In advance. In tim e of war the government that fails to prepare for peace will ulti­ m ately be at a disadvantage, says the Philadelphia Public ..Ledgm-- Hi an Edi­ torial. The representatives of Grbat Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia, found this, out after the fall of Na­ poleon when they' m et Prince Talley­ rand: at ,Vienna.' Talleyrand, sent by France, had learned, enough of the sit­ uation as it concerned all of the smalt- er European powers and as it con­ cerned much of the opinion of Europe to turn the tables upon the. four great powers-and to stand as the champion of the public rights of Europe. Prince Talleyrand m aneuvered,'and successfully, according to the rufes of a secret diplomacy. He really worked in behalf of selfish and Aai lfl8nalisticrrnterest&'-.-The'^i% iib'iffng of Europe by the congres.s.of Vienna was the outcome of arbitrary compro­ m ise; it was prolific of future wars. The knowledge which the great dip­ lomatic exponent of France displayed was more comprehensive than that of his foes, that, is all. Excepting that he recognizes the need Of precise in­ formation; President Wilson acts up­ on a principle different from that which guided Talleyrand. He will urge this nation Into no alliance, even with the nations with-whom it is as­ sociated in the common war against the Teutonic powers. He proposes simply to equip himself with knowl­ edge pertinent to. the rights of all na­ tions In common with America as they may. be concerned by the proceedings of the peace conference. _ • To Show War-.Alms. In this spirit the president h is asked Colonel - Housb to survey the field of m ilitary, naval and political conditions in the countries of; our en­ emies, and our friends; to get at the economic, political and .emotional state of .things in every country, and to tell frankly to Great ., Britain, Russia, France, Italy and the neutral powers the things that we are doing and that we. intend to do in the war. More­ over, an attem pt will, be made to lift the heavy curtain of censorship In .Germany, and Austria-Hungary, , in or­ der to spread -among their peoples a comprehension .of American w ar alms and potentialities.. ' Officials are anxious that no impres­ sion, should be created, as a result of Colonel House’s appointment, of any Intention to start peace negotiations. In th e near fu tu re.. .So far as the at­ titude of the United States is corn cerned, the president’s reply to the .pope still remains the unaltered view of the government here. The appointment of Colonel House is recognition by the government of the" fact that the adjustm ent of peace term s will be a yefy complicated pro­ ceeding. Many points of dispute must be settled. . Questions of all sorts, economic, political, and historical, will come up for discussion, and the Amer­ ican delegates m ust be forearmed with a mass of information and statistical data to meet every situation. No data concerning present condi-. tlons in Germany or Austria will come within the scope of Colonel House’s work, as this would come under “mil­ itary information.” - According to tests made In Europe the durability of bronze Is proportion­ ate to its content of tin.

" However, our conversation lapsed at last, through sheer weariness on my part. I had been at the steering oar so long, staring out into that drear ex­ panse of ocean and sky, that every muscle of my body ached, and my eyes couia scarcely be forced to remain open. In tfte silence she must have no* ticed this, for she exclaimed suddenly': “Why, I never thought! you must be nearly, dead with fatigue. Let me take the oar while you sleep.” “I am afraid I shall have to,” I ad­ mitted, “for I must keep awake to­ night. You feel competent?” “Why, of course; you saw me steer. If anything goes wrong I can call you easily enough. Please lie down for a few hours.” I looked about, permitting her to grasp the oar, and slip into my seat “Henlly I feel as if I must,” I said ’ regretfully, “and there can be no dan­ ger while things keep as they are. Call me, though, if there is a change in the weather, for that jury mast will never stand any weight of wind.” 'T promise; but I am a better boat­ man than you think.” I must have slept for several hours undisturbed, for, when I finally opened my eyes once more the sky above us was beginning to turn purple with twi­ light, and the breeze had failed, so that the sail flapped idly against its impro­ vised mast. This, perhaps, was the noise which had aroused me. I sat up wide awake instantly, anil stared about me in the boat. There was little • change noticeable; Miss Vera still clung to the steering oar, showing no outward signs of weariness, and greet­ ed me with a smile and nod of the head; but McCann had moved forward, 'hnd sat playing idly with an open jack- knife. -" , VI bear testimony that you slept well, Mr. Hollis,” the girl said cheerfully. “I did not realize until I lay down how weary I was,” I replied, adopting her manner, “but really you had no right to let me lie so long. Why, I must have been sleeping three or four hours, and you will be tired out.” “Oh, no; it was no trick at all. The •wind kept steady until just a few mo- ments ago, and I do not feel in the least faflgued.” “And you have seen nothing? no' • smoke, no sail?” She shook Iisr head, her eyes grown grave. “Not a thing; we seem to be abso­ lutely alone In the immensity , of the sea—just one great wave after the other. It—it gets on my nerves.” “It certainly does; such a sight has driven more than one insane. But what does this mean? Why is the bis­ cuit bag put here,?” I pointed to the bottom of the boat, beyond her feet. Her eyes met mine, her answer made in a whisper. “He—he crept back here while I was adjusting my. oar, and took two.” ‘‘McCann?” “Yes, he' had the bag before I no­ ticed, and I thought it best not to anger him then, for he held that open knife in his hand.” “You should have called me.” “The mischief was done before I had- any time. Besides I knew you needed the sleep. What are you going to do?” 'I smiled a bit grimly, glimpsing him beneath the sail. • “I am about to give Mr. Fergus Mc­ Cann, late .of New York, a little speci­ men of sea discipline which I hope may last him for the remainder of this Voy­ age,” I replied quietly. “Hold the boat . steady, Miss Vera, andjeave me to at­ tend to this degenerate son of wealth;” I crept forward, scarcely jarring the frail craft, and was beyond the jury mast before the fellow had aroused sufficiently from his knife play even to note my approach. He stared at me in­ solently, leaving the keen blade trem­bling in the plank. ^ . “McCann,” I began, wasting no time in preliminaries, lifting myself on one knee, and facing him, “the young lady aays you took advantage of my being sound asleep to help yourself to bis­ cuits ;is that so?” ' “Well, what if I did? I was hungry." jiSo am I; so no doubt is the lady, for the matter of that. Hunger is no justification for stealing. You were iiot starving; you received exactly the same share we did. More than that, I - Jiave assumed command of this boat. because I am the only one on board knowing the ways of the sea. I told you plainly what you were to do, and I propose to enforce my orders.. Not another bite will be given you today, or tomorrow.” “Is that So?" he drawled, a wicked smile revealing his teeth. “You must think, you are dealing with a foremast hand. It takes something besides threats to run me, Mr. Robert Hollis.” He half arose to his feet, but I forced him back onto the thwart none too gently. His face was red with passion, his eyes malevolent. —. youI. take your hands off me!” he snarled. “No blustering sea bully is going to make me jump at the crook of his finger. You touch me again, and Tll show you who I am, you big brute. Me take orders from you? Why, pooh; I’ve got more money in New York than you ever saw.” “If you owned the Bank of England it would mean nothing to me. You will do what I say, or I’ll make you.” “You will? Mow?” “No matter how; I’ve trained more men than you to obedience in my time, and always found a way.” “Huh! the bucko-mate business, hey?” he sneered. “Well, just try that on me, if you think It safe. I’ll show you—” His hand darted back toward his hip pocket, but I was looking for the move­ ment, and ready. His fingers had bare­ ly gripped the butt of Ills weapon when' my clinched fist crashed into his face. I have struck harder blows, for I was not poised to put my whole weight be­ hind it, yet the man went .over as though floored by an ax, and iay hud­ dled in the bows quivering like a jelly fish. I jerked the revolver from the grip of his hand, dropped it Into my pocket, wreached. the open knife from the wood In which it stuck, and closed the blade. “Get up now, you fool',” I ordered sharply. “Oh, yes, you will,” and I gripped him by the collar and lifted him roughly to his knees. “That is likely to be the last time you will ever attempt to pull’a gun on me. Make an­ other movement, McCann, -and TO throw you overboard. You take your "Say Sir, When You Speak fo Me." orders from me, and you must jump when I speak, or I shall take pleasure in breaking every bone in your body. Do you understand' that?” I doubt if he could see out .of one eye, but the other exhibited a terror almost pitiable. ~ “Y—yes.” “Say sir, when you speak to me.” "Yes—yes, sir.” “You'll keep to this end of the boat hereafter; whether I am asleep or awake, you stay forward of the jury mast” •. s ' CHAPTER VIII. * ' ' We Sight a Tramp. The one IJow, coupled Vith the loss of his weapons, had so completely cowed the fellow, that I scarcely gave him another thought I crept back to the stern, and took the steering oar, the girls eyes meeting.mine question- ingly. “I,could not see all that occurred, be­ cause of the sail,” sfie said. “You. dis­ armed the man?” “Yes, I have his revolver In my pocket, and the knife also. He will make no more trouble. Come, we will divide a biscuit between us, and then it will be your tura»to He down.” “But doesn’t McCann have any?” “He has had more than his share al­ ready. I’ll offer him a swallow of wa­ ter—that’s all. I imagine the way his head feels, he has,forgotten all about being hungry.” “You had to strike him?” “Slightly, a mere tap of sea disci­ pline,” and I glanced at my knuckles. “He was armed, .you know, and I could take no chances. There is no harm done. Come; are you not tired enough to rest?” She glanced up ,into my face. “You will call me at midnight, if I fall asleep?" ‘“If I feel worn out then, and the sea keeps as it is, or no worse. There, take my coat for a pillow. No, really I shall not need it; this is an ideal sum­ mer night, but we are out of the track of ships.” “But do you still believe we will find one?” “I have every faith in the world,” I answered heartily, determined to con­ ceal my doubts. “If the weather holds pleasant, we should be far' enough south by morning to be in the north Atlantic lane between New York and Liverpool. Lie down, and rest, Miss Vera; there is no sign of any storm brewing, and tomorrow you’ll probably, have the deck of a liner under your feet.” I know not how much she may have believed of what I said, but she smiled me a cheerful good-night, and lay down In the bottom of the boat, my coat fold­ ed under her head. She rested there motionless, her face shadowed by one arm, and very soon her regular breath­ ing convinced me she slept like a tired child. I looked at her shadowy figure; then forward to where McCann hung silent in the bows. What if we should not overhaul a ship? What if some evil fate would permit of our floating on unseen? And there wefe few eatable biscuits left, and barely a cupful of tepid Water. The .thought of what the end Alight be near­ ly crazed me, as I sat there alone in the silence and gloom-^-I could picture those final hours of despair, as we lay starved and helpless in the unguided boat, the girl mercifully unconscious, perhaps, and McCann a gibbering idiot. My God! I must stop thinking! I must be a man for her sake; aye, and retain my self-control, so,as to do a man’s work to the end. At midnight the wind was at its height, and I did not call the girl, as I dared not trust her to steer the craft through such rough water. • She slept undisturbed, not even changing her po­ sition, a mere dim outline at my feet. Forward McCann had stowed himself away beyond the bow thwart, and I could see nothing of him under the bight of the sail. I •was the only one awake in the leaping boat, fighting its desperate way through black waters under the dull gleam of the stars. The sun had begun to show above the horizon before the girl finally awoke, and sat up in the bottom of the boat, staring about her with wide-open eyes, as though startled by thechange in the aspect of the sea. Finally she lifted herself to the nearest thwart, and greeted me reproachfully. “You have let me sleep all night and lying on your coat. You must be tired nearly to death.” “Far from it; and we are to be blessed with another Uay of sunshine. Perhaps by afternoon the sea will have gone down, and I can get a nap. Are you ready for breakfast?” My.explanation did not satisfy her; I could read that in the expression of her face, but she made no further pro­ test : She drew out the biscuits from- the. locker, broke one in two, and handed the half to me. Still clinging to the bag, her glance fell upon the slouching figure of McCann in the bow,.and then her eyes sought my face questloningly. “You are not going to offer him any?” “He deserves none; he has already had more than both of us together. How many are left?” “Seven fit to eat. But—” she hesi­ tated, yet went ,,on bravely enough, “please, he is not accustomed to being deprived ct food, and is really suffer­ ing. Let him have my share, for*I am not at'all hungry—truly I am not; , “I shall insist on your eating,” I said, almost sternly. “Your share, is little enough to sustain life. If. it comes to a choice between saying you, and that miserable thing yonder, my course is taken. However, I grant your request now, although I . doubt if he shows even gratitude. McCann!” He lifted his head, and stared aft, but without changing attitude. “Here is your ration. You do not de­ serve a bite, nor would you receive any through ine. You owe this to the lady —catch it now.” ' He picked the half biscuit up from the bottom of the boat where It fell at his feet, and began nibbling at It, like a famished dog. thankfulness in his action, and he con­ tinued to glare at us with one eye open in sullen insolence. The sun blazed down upon us out of a clear sky, glistening along the foam of racing waves, but, as noon ap­ proached, the southern sky became misty, the clouds increasing in den­ sity until we could see ODly a few hundred yards beyond our bow. It was not a storm cloud, and brought with it no fear of disaster, but com­ pletely blotted out the horizon, and gave a dark, sullen gloom to the sur­ rounding waters. It must have been three o’clock when McCahn suddenly gave vent to a startled roar, straightening to his knees, and pointing straight ahead into the smother. I stared, but saw nothing except the grotesque forms assumed by the whirling mist, but Vera leaned out over the side, shading her eyes. “What is It?” I asked 'sharply, “Make a report, man!” "A ship yonder!” he shouted, but without turning Iiis head. “I saw it plainly enough, but it has gone now.' “I see it, Mr. Hollis!” the girl cried excitedly. “Right out there through that lane of mist—it’s a big steamer!” “Straight ahead?” “Just a little this way—there! you can see her no\V!” I did, a mere glimpse, instantly ob­ scured, but visible again a moment later. _ McCann was on'his feet ges­ ticulating wildly. “Now, d you!” lie-shouted, “put us on board there, and I’ll show ■you who I am. You brute, I dare you to put us on board. “Sit”down!” I ordered^ “Now, keep still, and stand' by with" that rope. I’ll put you aboard all right, but until I do, you will obey what I say, or go into the water.” I took my eyes off him, and stared at the vessel, conscious instantly that something was wrong. She was ap­ parently a big steel freighter, four thousand tons I guessed, her water line showing a heavy cargo, and her bows red with rust where the black paint had disappeared.'* The. foremast was broken off at the tops, remaining a great splinter, and where the bridge and wheelhouse ought to be there was piled a mass of- wreckage, showing black above the bulwarks. A wheel had been rigged aft on the poopdeck, and there alone J saw evidence of hu­ man beings on board. One fellow stood gripping the spokes, while another leaned motionless against the rail fac­ ing forward. Neither one saw iis,. al­ though I swung my hat, and sent a hail-across the intervening water.' The girl glanced back into my face. “What is the matter ■with them, Mr. Hollis?” she asked. “Is something wrong?” “I am afraid sp; their foretop'mast is down,' and it looks as though It had smashed the bridge' and wheelhouse when it fell._ They have rigged up an emergency wheel aft. Can you make out her name?” “The Indian Chief, of Philadelphia.” “No regular liner—probably a tramp. I never saw funnels painted like that before, and she shows no flag. How­ ever; any-port in a storm.” I stood up, hollowing my hands. “Ahoy there! Indian Chief, ahoy!” The man leaning on the after rail turned, and gazed down at us; shading his eyes, and the heads of a half dozen others '-bobbed up above the forward bulwarks. I could.see the fellow aft plainly now, a broad, stockily built man, with extremely red face, wearing overalls; and a woolen shirt, open at the throat. In appearance there was nothing of ^he officer about him, yet it was his voice which finally answered, my hail, sending a deep, roaring note across Uie waters. “Hullo, there.* Who are yer? From some ship close by?” “We are passengers from the Ameri­ can yacht Esmeralda, sunk in collision two nights ago, and have been afloat ever since. Can you take us aboard?” “Passengers, you say? All of yer passengers?” “Yes.” He turned, and spoke to the man grasping the wheel, a tall, loose-jointed fellow in straw hat and pink shirt. There was a moment’s argument be­ fore he returned to his position at the rail." “I dunno as yer would be much .bet­ ter off along with us than yer are tliar In the dinghy," he. called indifferently. “For, in a manner 0’ speakin’, we’re no more than a ‘wreck. I reckon thar ain’t no one among yer who knows how to navigate?” I stood up, hollowing my hands to make my voice cafry more clearly. “That is not a very sailorliRe speech, my friend,” I shouted, yet striving to conceal anger. “But as you put hu­ manity on those terms, I’ll answer you. I have been in the merchant service! and commanded ships.” “Well? Is that so? Sail, or steam?” “Steam—the old Atlas line. Do you take us aboard?” He did not answer directly, but had lost his air of indifference, striding forward to the end of the poop, and giving orders to the men forward.’ The rail disappeared, and a moment later the round, red face again appeared. “Aye, we’ll take yer, sir,” he called down, a touch of deference in his hoarse voice. “Ye’ll understand the trouble once yer come aboard. Yer all able to climb; I reckon?” “We have a woman with us.” “It’ll be quite a job to rig up a swing, sir.” . I turned and looked at her; vhen up the straight steel sides looming before us, but before I could speak, she had made decision. “I can go up the ladder, Mr. Hollis,” she said firmly. “I am not afraid.” “All right,” I called. “Lower away, and send a man down to steady it be­ low.” The little dinghy swept in easily, and, under my directions, McCann awk­ wardly fended it oft from scraping against the steel sides.

Down the rat­ lines, hand -over hand, until he dropped sprawling into the boat, came one. of the crew—a coal black negro. The fellow above, now standing’ on the rail and clinging to a backstay, roared' down at him. . ' ‘ “Haul her in, Simms; haul her in. That’s more like it. Now hold all taut. Send up the lady first, captain; there’ll be a hand to help her in the chains.” She did not hesitate, grasping the rope firmly in her hands as the negro and I lifted her high enough to get foothold. “You are all right, Miss Vera?” “Yes,” she called down. “Then go up, but hold 'tight; the vessel may roll.” McCann followed, too glad' to thus escape roe to refuse, yet plainly enough half dead witji fear. .As soon as I saw his legs dangling, while the seamen above dragged him • inboard, I • drew myself up to the lower ratline, leaving the negro alone to hold , the line. “Hey, above there,VI shouted. “What shall -we do with the boat?” “Let her go ; there is no room to stow it 'on deck. . COme aboard, Simms.” We went up together, the ladder swinging dizzily to our movements. The voice of the man who seemed to be in command growled down from the poop: ' ' ‘ “Haul in the ladder,, and stow it; then go forward and get some 0 ’ that riffle overboard afore dark. • This way, captain; I’d like a private word with yer afore yer go below!” There were perhaps a dozen men In view, a typical. freighter’s crew, I judged, mostly'foreign faces, two of them negroes. They worked silently, and then shuffled- forward, without ex­ hibiting the slightest interest In my presence, or giving a glance aft Evi­ dently something unusual had oc­ curred, but just what was the nature of the accident to the Indian Chief I wjjs unable to decide. I climbed the few steps, and joined the red-faced man waiting me on the poop. “I am very glad to welcome you on board the Indian Chief, captain—Cap­ tain—” ' ' “HoIUs,” I answered shortly. “And ycur name?” "Masters—Gideon Masters.” . “In command?” -/“Well, yes, in a way. I reckoned you’d want the whole story, an* thet things Ked better be explained' afore yer went below.” * “Of course; but first a question or -two, Mr. Masters.

Gathered Around the State C ap ital. Raleigh. JBines R- Young, commissioner of Insurance. has just given out. a very Kimsiy statement in which he urges StliP Citizens o£ North Carolina to warn ftbi school children of the dangers of fci-iissing and playing in the streets. iTue statement follows: Pining the vacation months while ltlie streets have been more or less i f irom children en masse there Ibas been a notable and graitfying de- IcictcSP in the number of accidents to !children. But now that the schools I m o oiieii again, and the streets at lccrtain hours are thronged with chil- Nrcu of iin age at which they are T least, cautions of danger, drivers of !' vehicles and parents of children should take every precaution to pre- i vent the numerous and needless acci- [-,lcnts that usually fdllow the opening j u: the school term. Do not expect the I rhild to take care of himself. Re- i spoiisibility is all right, but'the child, by nature unmindful of danger,- is especially oblivious of surroundings wiiile renewing companionships inter- I epted by vacation and recounting his experiences of the summer. History abounds in' evidence that antomobilists are capable of inflicting abundant damage and injury among 1 heir kind without attacking the un- siispicting child, who may always be counted 011 to do the unexpected thing at the wrong time. If you drive a car, take no chances on the child’s seeing . THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N, C. ’ Aid in Food Conservation. . • The greatest food show ever held In North Carolina is what the State Fair promises to be. Under the urge of na-. tion and state more crops were plant­ ed in the spring than ever before, and the harvests are proving exceedingly bounteous. Not only have crops usual­ ly raised been greater and better, but there has been-a much greater diversi­ fication. The result will make itself felt In the agricultural exhibits at the fair. Applications for space .are almost doublp what they were at the same time last year. The number of exhib­ its from counties as units will be in­ creased, and all will be given an equal show for the good premiums which are offered. From the excellence of these exhibits, in former, -years the people of the state have been trained to expect an agricultural -show of an unusual nature, and the show this year will exceed any that have gone before. The conservation feature of the State Fair is being especially stress­ ed by the management. • This will be particularly exemplified in the new- Woman’s building where Mrs. James McKimmon and her corps of assist­ ants from over sixty of the counties of the state will show what can be done in the way of preserving food by can­ ning. preserving and drying. Mrs. Me- Kimmon has made much more than a state-wide reputation on account of the results that she has been able to obtain with her canning clubs in the state, and the girls and their work will be here to show both how and what has been accomplished. r WORKING IN ORCHARD FOR BEnER FflUIT { Delegates to Farmers' Conference. - Governor Ilickett has appointed the following delegates to the .Farm­ ers’ National Congress, which meets in Springfield, Mo., October 23-26, 1917: J. A. Wilkinson, Belhaven; F. P. La­ tham, Belhaven; T. T. Speight, Wins- dor; C. W. Mtichell, Aulander; T. W. Mason, Garysbiirg; B. B. Winbourne. Murfreesboro; Lycurgus Hofler, Gates- ville; J. J.

Parks, Tarboro; W. P. Batchelor, Raleigh; A. C. Greene, -Ra- (By L. M. BENNINGTON.) ' Don’t expect good fruit and plenty of it unless you feed the trees and bushes accordingly. Large seeded grapes should be dis­carded. Bury all bones about the roots of vines and trees. Strawberries may be grown the first two years under the grapevines. Make the soil rich before setting out the vines and plants.' If a large crop is wanted, give ad­ ditional dressings of fertilizers, ashes and bone dust. Top dress the orchard and fruit gar­ den, but keep weedy manure out of the strawberry patch. - Give the blackberries a corner of cool land and cultivate for two years. After that only cut back the tops and thin out the old canes. Low-Headed Trees. Trees in the fruit garden should be headed for reason of convenience and for other reasons affecting the welfare of the trees. Only dwarf va­ rieties should be planted here. For the fruit garden, the advice not to trim is as bad as not -to cultivate. It is the business of the tree to re­ produce itself, and the more limb, the more seed.in the fruit. Mulching hill land that washes is better, in many instances, than plow­ ing. Plowing is but mulching, by throwing one portion of soil over an- ; other. Mulch with litter, boards, boughs, or even rocks, where they are plentiful during the hot months. Fresh Fruits for Table. The table should be supplied with fresh, cool fruits from rhubarb time, or until late grapes, outside, to be fol- j lowed by the fall and winter orchard ! fruits and the surplus of the garden preserved in various ways. Now is the time, to remedy this year’s mis­ takes by planning for next year. A patch of ground, even so small as the eighth of an acre»-planted with the different kinds of berries, including currants and grapes, and given good attention and cultivation will supply the average family with all the small fruit that can be used; and enough for winter beside. A few dwarf pears, peaches, plums and cherries will vary the product in an agreeable way. Plum trees should not be pruned until late winter, or in the spring be­ fore the sap starts. • The common wild choke cherry bears a dark red fruit,in large clus­ ters, which is much liked by some; is an abundant bearer and a small tree. In spring it yields numerous racemes of fragrant white flowers and is worth growing for ornament if for no other purpose. Try Citrus Trifoliata. F-Qg-a yard fence, try the hardy or­ ange, Citrus trifoliata; plant in single rows, 18 inches apart. The bush is of dwnrf, compact habit, making one of the most ornamental hedges, cov­ ered In spring with thousands of sweet smelling orange, blossoms, and in the fall with a lot Of little sour or­ anges. It does not throw up sprouts. Make a map of your fruit garden as well as your orchard, drawing it on stiff cardboard, or smoothly dress­ ed board, making every, tree, bush or vine, evei'y row of small fruit, giv­ ing the names of the varieties. This will be found of special value in case you wish to replace with the same va­ riety any which may have died, or hav­ ing found it particularly, satisfactory, may wish for more.

The North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering opens with the usual number of new stu­ dents. The loss of many of the older students by draft, by connection with the state guard, by commission in the army, and by opportunity for high pay in civil positions has reduced the whole number by about one hundred. The dormitories, therefore, are not all filled!

Cordial co-operation on the part of property owners has been given to date to the inspectors and' special agents of the fire insurance compa­ nies operating in the State as a part of the plan of assistance of the Na­ tional Board of Fire Underwriters to the National Council of Defense in a campaign to prevent fire waste and the destruction of foodstuffs especial­ ly during the war. Throughout North Carolina these agents have been in­ specting stores, warehouses, barns, cotton gins and compresses and every form of property where foodstuffs and Hie supplies are stdred that enter into the feeding or clothing of the nation and her allies In the war. Not a sin­ gle case has been reported to the In­ surance Commissioner wherein a property owner has failed to make the corrections pointed out by the inspec- Completes Study of Cost. tors. The inspectors are experts in the iine of work , in which they are en­ gaged and they are making the in­ spections without regard to the ques- lion of insurance and without regard 'c the business of the. companies they represent. It is gratifying to see that Die citizenship of the State stands loy­ ally by in the effort to promote this work of conservation.- When the war lias ended and the special vigilance now being observed has been relaxed, 'lie chances are that the people will have learned how beneficial these pre­ cautions have been and North Caro, Iina will find itself greatly benefitted by the lessons of carefulness and con­ servation which will • not speedily be forgotten".

LOW GROWING TREES ARE DELIGHT OF FARM BOY. INCREASED DEMAND FOR BLACKBERRIES Returning to his regular work at the Agricultural Experiment Station at West Raleigh' last week from Greensboro and Winston-Salem, Mr. Stanley Combs, of the Dairy Field Office, completes his two years study of the cost of producing milk on 18 farms near these places. It will be remembered that two years ago North Carolina was selected as representa­ tive of the Southeastern group - of States in which a study of the cost of producing milk con’d be made. Other stations in the division were also se­ lected at the Same time, such as Indi­ ana in the Western and others in the different remaining groups. The work is co-operative between the United States Department of Agriculture and the North Carolina Erperiment Sta- ti°n- , •Mr. Combs has collected some inter­ esting and exceptionally good data which will be written up in the form of a report during the next three months.. When it is published it is expected that the findings will be of much value to dairymen, especially so as the work has been done during the time of the war since all feedstuffs have been high in nrlce and hatd to obtain. Authorities of the station hope to have the material in- the bands of the printer in the near future in order that It might be available soon. I About as Profitable as Any Other I Berry Crop—Large Crops ; Obtained Each Year. j Growers are discovering of recent j years that the common, homely black- i berry is after all about as profitable I as other berries when everything is I taken into consideration. I The blackberry will not offiy grow ; under adversities that would not be I endured by other species of fruit j plants but it is a surer bearer year ; after year than either the strawberry I or raspberry, and uniformly produces ; large crops. . Tlie demand for this berry on the ' market is constantly on the increase, i as housekeepers an finding it is the I easiest to put up in cans, the least ex­ pensive to buy, is relished equally to I any In the winter for its tart flavor, ' and makes the best of all pies. Yet though it will flourish under ! neglect that would kill the raspberry. I the blackberry responds just as read- ; ily and just as profitably to good treat- ! ment as its brothers. It, too, has ’its requirements if its higher perfections are. to be attained, if it is to do anything like its best. The first and greatest requisite for successful blackberry culture is a deep, loose, rich soil. Moisture -is the most important point of all and so bottom land is the best location but it must lie well drained and not seepy or swampy. The blackberry makes a very exten­ sive root ,system and will travel for yards.in. search of food; this enables It to mature a crop with less fertiliz­ ing than other berries, hut still the blackberry will repay high feeding and an abundant supply of plant food in the ground is fully as large a fold as any plant that grows. AYhat the blackberry will bear un­ der most favorable conditions and the size its berries will reach would sound well nigh incredible to many, and it is a source of constant wonder and ad­ miration to those who see it annually. It is quite possible to grow black­ berries by the acre in the same pro­ fusion as these, by simply giving the same conditions of soil and cultiva­ tion; and I am thoroughly convinced that such Intensiv-' cultivation would pay far better than the common meth­ ods in vogue which cost less. It is not a great- task to make an acre of naturally’ deep loamy soil as rich as the average garden. Provide plenty of humus by plowing under big crops of some legume, such as red clo­ ver and cow pens and then give it a heavy coat-of stable manure In addi­ tion, or staiile manure alone will do if there is enough at hand. It will pay not to allow a single weed or blade of grass to grow. Then reproduce natural conditions as far as jiossible which means coolness of soil and abundauce of water for the roots by mulching the rows with manure or litter, aud if you will put it on thick enough to prevent the growth of weeds and grass you will be killing two birds with one stone. A heavy mulch for two feet on both sides of the row : nd the rest of tin middles constantly kept loose with the cultivator would' be nn ideal way of raising the blackberry. I venture to say that an acre of this kind would produce berries that would sell for as much as is usually realized on five acres; not only would tliorc be more berries but they would be so su perior in size and looks that tliey would sell fog ^much more per crate, find more ready buyers aud cost less to pick. - Want Good Marksmen. . At the time of the Spanish-Ameri- can war-an expert rifle shot' tyas re­ fused enlistment as a sharpshooter on the ground that good -marksman­ ship is of no advantage on the field of battle. There are'still some military authorities who believe this to be the -ease. They point out that when the distance is not accurately known, the good rifleman will be sure to miss, -while a volley from poor marksmen will cover a large area and score some hits. Nevertheless, the policy is now to encourage marksmanship by every possible means. When Man Is Caught.

VOLUMN XIX. MOCKSyiLLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1917.NUMBER 14 WEDDING WAS NOT A: 1JOKE. The TayIomiIle Couple Are Now Try. ing to Get Untied. Statesville Sentinel. A marriage of unusual interest and not without romance was com sumated at Taylorsville Tuesday night. A number of young people had gathered at the Gampbeli boarding bouse and during the conversation the question of marriage came up for discussion. • . Mr. L. F. Kluttz, a young attor­ ney of Taylorsville, and Miss Mary Sharpe, of Loray, were the parti, cipanta in a joke at first, but a sit­ uation that has lost all traces of a joke and taken on the realities. Through good humor they ex pressed tbeir desire to get married; provided they bad license, Mr. Kluttz very Willingly agreed 'to furnish the money and Mr. Flake Campbell, in order to help the joke along agreed to ' get. the Ii cense. He left and soon returned with license, secured .from !Regis­ ter of Deeds, W. A .Barnette. Willing friends soon had Magis­ trate J. M. Mathesoh on the scene. ADy amount off tin was being'had over the procedure, which ever.; one was treating as a joke. The couple were askedto join hands, which they did. /Hot left hands, reminded the. magistrate,'and they joined right hands. The ceremony was pronounced much to the mer- rimeut of those.present, but after more mature thought and after Magistrate MatheBon had wended bis way home and retired for bis peaceful and usual slumbers, he was called forth, from his covers, not for another marriage, but to undo a marriage he had already performed. He was jtold that the whole affair was a joke acd to kindly!destroy the license,- Tbe magistrate, however, did not take such a foolish yiew< pf ’ the.^situa­ tion and refused to.destroy a ' ii cense that was lawfully made out. He furthermore told them that they were .man and wife. The couple are now looking at the matter in almost serious light and ther6 are., two questions con­ fronting their mindBY - whether to stay married or how; ttf get un- martied. ' ' ' ...

We were surprised to hear the other daj from a. man of authority who usually weighs his words and who has ample- op­ portunity to know whereof - he speaks, that in his opinion there is more liquor being bought and con­ sumed in North Carolina right now than before the prohibition' law went into effect. He added that all the fault lies with the county officials who are utterly indifferent to the enforcement of the law. The cases, sajs this man, aie rare io- deed whdn a sheriff pays the: least attention to plain violations of the liquor law, right under his nose. Our temperance,!people seem to havr gone to sleep at the switch, for if they were wide awake the sheriffs would not. dare to dodge their duty. Here is the place for the Anti-Saloon League to put io some effective work. Thanks to the vigilance of that organization we have the law but a law not en­ forced is worse than no law at all. A stronger and more wholesome public sentiment must be* aroused. Our local officials who are Bworb to execute the law must- be com-, pelled to do their duty and observe their oath- of office. The drink habit is growing, and unless we check it our last state will be worfee than the first. With thef federal as well as the state government be hind us there is only one reason in the world for liquor selling and drinking in North- Carolina, and that is the indifference of ;the jnoxr. al forces of the state to the evil, Is it possibie tbut after all our '.Ia- borand s .orifice to secure effective legislation, we are going to allow the horrible traffic to go on, and our boyB continue to be debauched and destroyed!

The bill waB passed nearly a year ago. It solemnly set forth that the ‘’boards of commissioners in the several (-there are 100) counties in this slate, shall, within six months after the ratification of this act, cause to be erected and main­ tained at the various crossings and forks of the public highways of each county guide-posts with pro- per inseriptione and devices there- OD indicatiDg the direction to aud. the distance from the most import­ ant town or vicinity within ten miles of snch guide posts. Such posts shall be of substantial timber and the lettering thereon Bhall not be less than two inches in height and of legible’lcharacter.” It would be interesting to know, just how many counties In North Caro­ lina have taken thiB law seriously, or how maoy tcommissioners have been arrested and indicted for not obeying the Honorable Legislature, it is one of the best IawB ever en­ acted. Itw asput on the statute books in response to urgent petit­ ions lrom all parts of the State, and it appears to have been laugh ed at. There is not a board of commissioners in Ihe State, per haps, that has wilfully ignored the law. They have been simpiv un­ mindful of it, and this suggests that the Superior Gourt judges In rounds of the State could accomp plish a fine work by making it a point to impress the importance of this law upon grand juries;; with recommendation .that the commis­ sioners be reminded' of its exis­ tence.

Ia behalf of these boys I wish to state that this report is untrue. It is absolutely false. I have been with these bovs every day since we left Davie, and at no time has either one of them fainted. .

EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEEr A Home Transformed. Deaconess Florence Blackwell, Avondale • Wesley House; Birmingham, Ala., formerly of Winston-Salem. Do we ever see the results of our work? Let this true story give the answer: One day a woman with clouded face and the gleam of anger in her dark eyef, her dress and person soiled and slattern­ ly, came into the day nursery, carrying in her arms a baby boy two months old anc' leading by the band a little girl ,of twe years. She wanted to put the children in the nursery, so that she might go to work in the mill She told a story of her husband's neg­ lect, repeating to the Wesley House work­ ers their conversations and quarrels. They were so unhappy, she said, she just c juidn’t stand it any longer, and thej were about to separate. A little later the husband went away for a time, and she went to work; but he came back occas­ ionally, and the quarrels grew worse. The morkers reasoned with her and told her that she must bear some things and try to make home as pleasant as possible. In spite of her husband’s cruel­ ty, she must try to be kind to him, and maybe he would do better. The workers prayed with her for herseif, her husband, and her home. One day she said she had decided not to give him a cross word when he came back, but that she would treat him as well as she could, no matter whqt h» did or -said. She kept her word. For a little while he continued his abuse, but one day he asked her if she had got religion. Ihis wai encouraging. In the'meantime the little girl became very ill. The father was devoted to her; and while they watched beside her dur­ ing her illnesf of several weeks, they for­ got tSeir pjtty quarrels. The little one died, and afterwards they did not go back to their old quarrelsome ways. Tbe husband decided that he did not want his wife to work, and she gladly decided tnat she would make a real home for him. She began to improve in appearance. She became neat in dress; her beautiful, glossy black hair was always neatly ar­ ranged, and she became «n attractive woman. The expression of her face is wholly changed. The gleam in ‘her dark eyes is one of pleisure and fun. She still talks to the Wesley House workers of her home life, but now it is of happiness and of her husband's thoughtful care of her. our work aittfTare encouraged to 1 hoping and graying 'for inore. .

IPllll Washington. — President Wiisoa In i S l I r,elia]f of the liberty loan issued a proclamation setting aside October 24 as liberty day and urging the people oi tbe nation to assemble on that day m their respective , communities and “pledge to one another and to the gov- srainont that represents them the full- sst measure of financial support.” Tbe President's proclamation fol­ lows: “By the President of the United SUtee of America, a proelmatlon: “The second liberty loan gives the people of the United Staets another opportunty to lend theier funds to their SOTernment to sustain their country at war. The might of the United .Scates is being mobilized and organiz­ ed to strike a mortal blow at autocra­ cy In defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty. Billions of dollars ,are required to mm, feed and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our coun­ try's battles and to assist the nations with whom we are making common cause against a common foe. To sub­ scribe to the liberty loan is to perform a service of patriotism. "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil­ son, President of the United States of America, do appoint Wednesday, the twenty-fourth of October, as liberty day, and urge and advise the people to assemble in their respective • com­ munities and pledge to one another and to the government that represents them the fullest measure of .financial support. On the afternoon of that dav I request that patriotic meetings .he held in every city, town and hamlet throughout the land, under the general direction of the secretary of the treas­ ury and the immediate direotion of the liberty loan committees which have been organized by the federal reserve banks. The people responded nobly to the call of the first liberty loan with an over-subscription of more than 50 per cent. , Let the response ..to the second loan be -even greater and iet the amount be so large that It will serve as an assurance of unequal­ led support to hearten the men who are to face the fire of battle for us.

BIG DEFICIENCY IS EXISTING National Army Divisions Formed Out Ot First increment Are AU Short of Quota—Room for Regiment at Each Cantonment. Washington.—Discussion of the ad­ visability of expediting the call for the. second increment of the draft army npw is in progress at the war depart­ ment and it appears likely that' the date may be fixed for some time in De­ cember or January. Mobilization of the first increment of 687,000 men is now « r enough ad­ vanced to show clearly that there will be a big deficiency for the 17 national ar&y divisions. More than 250,000 ot the first increment are still to be as­ sembled, but it already is evident that there will be available ait the 16 can- tortments quarters for an additional regiment at each post and at some for a full brigade of two regiments. The strength of the new regimental organization is 3,600 men. With a regiment lacking at each cantonment, this alone would mean a shortage of nearly 50,000 men. In addition, there has been authorized a separate divi­ sion of negro troops, which means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn from the original number assigned to the 16 cantonments. The shortage is due partially to the necessity of .talrng out of the national army men to fill up national guard di- I visions. Two complete national dlvi- ! sions of southern troops have been ; absorbed In this way. The remnants j of three other southern national army I divisions will be consolidated to form a single divisional unit, and the sur­ plus men from other camps will be sent south to make up the missing divisions. Drafts on the national army forces must be made to fill up the enlisted personnel of the aviation service, the meldcal corps and the service battal­ ions needed behind the fighting lines ’ abroad. Eventually there will be 250,000 men in the last named service alone, and the aviation and the medi­ cal service will take nearly as many more though not all of them.-will he taken, from the national army.

THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION AN NOUNCES PRESJDENT WILL IS­ SUE EXECUTIVE ORDER. HAIG’S ATTACK CHECKED I BY DELUDE OF RAIN TRADING WITH THE ENEMEY ACT IS PUT INTO OPERATION Proclamation by President- Confers' Authority to Officials. Washington.—Broad war powers con­ ferred upon the president by the trad- ing-with-the-enemy act were put into operation under an executive order is­ sued delegating the authority under the elaw to various government de­ partments and to a newly created war trade eboard. The board is composed of the mem­ bers of the exports administrative board, which it will replace with the addition of a representative of the treasury department. Tt will conffiine to license exports. Trading or commercial dealings of any nature with an enemy company or agfiT.it in this country or abroad is forbidden, except under license of the war board, which also is authorized •to license enemy or “ally of enemy” companies doing business in the Unl- tefl States, excepting insurance com­ panies, whose supervision *is entrust­ ed to the treasury. Censorship of mails, cables, radio, and telegraph messages passing out of the Ut.ited States is placed In the hands of a censorship board consisting ot representatives of the war, navy il»d Doatoffice departmnt, the waT board trade and of ftreorge Creel, cbairmaTi of the ecommittee on public information. To the treasury is assigned the regu- lalion of transactions in foreeign ex­ change and exportation of gold or sil- vw coin under license, the enforce- raMt of the elaw’s provision against transmission to the enemy of infor­ mation by any other means. Already Swampy Region Converted ’ Into Quagmire. For the first time since lie started his series of attacks against the Ger­ man positions in Flanders, Fieild Mar­ shal Haig has had to cease ax. opera­ tion before all the objectives were at­ tained. It was not the German guns, however, that stopped the British. It was a more than usually heaVy rainfall which started during the battle and turned the already swamp region over which the men were supposed to pass into a veritable quagmire from which they could not urtrack themselves for a forward move. The drive, as has been customry in Haig’s strategy was started in the early hours of F riday morning and extended from near the Houtholst wood to below, the Ypres-Menln road. At several points the British troops succeeded In gaining ground over fronts ranging up to a thousand yards hut here the rain InWvened and the fighting ceased for the day. _ The struggle was particularly Dit- te rto the north of Poelcapelle and around Passachendaele. In the lat­ ter region the Gemans apparently have massed their strongest array of troops, hopeful of being able to stay a further press forward by the British toward the Ostend-Lille railroad. The Germans were expecting the battle for several hours prior to the signal for the British to attack they laid down a heavy barrage fire all along the line, interspersing the rain of steel and explosive sheels with as­ phyxiating gas bombs. EAST ST. LOUIS MOBMEMBERS CONVICTED Due to Increase in Manufacturing and Transportation Activity.—Coal Being Mined at Rate Never Equaled Before. . Washington--Bxistence of a general coal shortage was admitted by the geo­ logical survey, which attributes the situation, not to the failure of produc­ ers to do their best, but to the unprec­ edented demand. “The tremendous Increase In manu­ facturing and transportation activity this year,” said a statement issued today, “has created a demand for soft coal in excess of any in the past, an increase In demand that is difficult to measure in terms of tons, but that is certainly more , than the 10 per cent by which the production has increased. To meet this demand the operators have been mining coal at a rate never before equalled.” A serious coal shortage exists in Ohio, fuel administration officials were told by a delegation of consumers headed by Attorney General McGhee, who came to Washington to protest against lifting the embargo on coal shipments to Canada. Uf 200 towns in the state reporting more than 100, the delegation declared, are entirely without coal and are unable to obtain supplies because virtually all coal min­ ed in the state is going thruogh lake ports in the northwest and Canada. The people of the state, spokesmen for the delegation said, are suffering and cannot wait until the northwest is supplied under, the fuel administra­ tion’s priority order before laying in winter stocks. Mayors of some towns have seized carloads of coal en route to the lakes and have apportioned it among the inhabitants. Doctor Garfield assured the delegation tha£ Ohio would be adequately supplied under a plan to be announced within ~a tew j days. The fuel administration’s first move I toward a general apportionment of I coal was made in an order directing i that mines along the Pennsylvania I system supply under a pro rata plan all the -coal the road needs. Later other roads will be supplied' In the same fashion and the final intention' is to distribute coal among domestic j users and industries where It Is most essential. I Coal prices in some districts of (Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia ' were raised by the fuel administra­ tion after it was shown operators I could not mine coal at a profit at the i prices fixed recently.

Washington — Legal approval has been given the agreement between the: aircraft production board and the Air* plane Manufacturers’ Association, clearing away a possible serious ob­ stacle to the government $640,000,000 aircraft program. Attorney General Gregory has held that the patent pool­ ing plan to prevent patent litigation does not violate the Sherman anti­ trust law. The effect of the opinion -is to ratify all the -work done by the aircraft pro- ductlon hoard and the advisory com­ m ittee-for "aeronautics and insure the employment ot the entire airplane pro­ ducing capacity of .the country on the big job. Another result will be to halve the costs of machines to the government. Details of the pooling agreement have not been made public by the gov­ ernment, atthough much has been printed about It. In general terms, it provides for the pooling in the Air­ plane Manufacturers’ Association of the basic aeroplane, patents known as the Wright and Curtis patents aid also of all other airplane patents now Aeld or hereafter developed by mem­ bers of the association. APPROPRIATION FOR RELIEF OF BELGIANS Washington.—The American Red Cross “war councH appropriated $589,- 930 for the relief of Belgians not un­ der Gennan rule, the work to be car­ ried out by the new Red Cross depart­ ment for Belgian organized under the Red Cross commission to France. Com­ prehensive plans for relief work have been worked out as the result of con­ ferences between- King Albert and Major Grayson M. P. Murphy,. head of the commission to France. STANDARDIZED MOTOR ' MOTOR TRUCK ACCOMPLISHED Washington.—Details of the devel­ opment of the government new motor t r u c k , - announced by the council of national defense reveal an accomplish­ ment that officials declare is second only to the production- of the liberty airplane motor.

Indicates That Iron Discipline of Ger­ man Military System Might Bis Los­ ing Its Hold.—Declining Morale is Noted by Allies. Washington.—Few dispatches since the war began have created more in­ terest at the navy department than the reports from Amsterdam telling of a revolt In the German navy. Officers unhesiatingly declared that the story was one of the most encouraging signs of the year for the allies and probably one of the most ominous from the German view. They pointed out that while the allied powers have noted repeatedly recently Jn their offi­ cial statements that the morale of the German troops was declining, and ob­ servers have believed that Uie end would come in food and labor riots or perhaps In a political revolt, there has been nothing to suggest that the iron discipline of the German military sys­ tem had lost its hodl over the fighting millions In the slightest degree. The declining morale on the west­ ern front noted, it was said, has shown itself in the feeble character of counter-attack as compared to the all but irresistible drive a year ago. Assault after assault has dashed it­ self to pieces before the French and British trenches. VIRTUALLY ALL FOODSTUFFS ARE NOW UNDER GONTROL Federal Regulation Extended by President’s Proclamation. Washington.—Government control of foodstuffs is extended to take in virtually all the essential articles of diet by a proclamation issued by President Wilson directing the food administration to license after No­ vember I the manufacture, storage, importation and distribution of some 20 prime commodities! Many small dealers are exempted, as are farmers, who were specially excepted in the food control law. . .. After quoting the food control act, under which the action is taken, the President’s proclamation says,: : “It is essential, in order to carry into effect the purposes of said act to license the importation, manufacture, storage and distribution of necessa­ ries to the extent hereinafter speci­ fied. “All persons, firms, corporations and associations engaged in the busi­ ness either of (I) operating cold storage warehouses (a) cold storage warehouse, for the purpose of this proclamation, being defined as any place artificially or mechanically cool­ ed to or below a temperature of 45 degrees*' Fahrenheit, in which food products are placed and held for 30 days, or more; (2) operating eleva­ tors, warehouses or other places for storage of corn, oats, barley, beans, rice, cottonseed, cottonseed cake, cot­ tonseed meal or peanut meal; or (3) importing, manufacturing (including miiling, mixing, or packing); or dis­ tributing (including buying or selling) any of the following commodities: “Wheat, wheat flour, rye or rya flour; oats, oatmeal or rolled oats; corn, com grits, corn meal, hominy, corn flour, starch from corn, corn oil, corn syrup or glucose; rice, rice flour; dried beans; pea seed or dried peas; cottonseed, cottonseed oil, cottonseed cake or cottonseed meal; peanut oil or peanut' meal; soya bean oil; soya bean meal, palm oil or copra oil; oleomargarine, lard, lard substitutes, oleo oils or cooking fats; milk, butter or cheese; condensed, powdered or evaporated milk; fresh, canned or cured beef, pork or mutton: poultry or eggs; fresh or frozen fish;- fresh fruits-or vegetables; canned peas, dried beans, tomatoes; corn, salmon, or sardines; dried prunes, apples, peaches or raisins; sugafc syrupB or molasses.” Wilson’s Order Will Prescribe Regu­ lations Under Which Some-20 Fun- jamental Foods Will Be Manufac­ tured’ and Sold. Washington.—Virtually all the sta­ ple food consumed by the American people will be put under government control November I. The food administration announced tnat within a lew uays President Wil­ son will issue an executive order re­ quiring that manufacturers and dis­ tributors of some 20 fundamental foods operate under license restric­ tions designed to prevent unreason­ able profits and to stop speculation and hoarding. . . Regulations will be prescribed for meat packers, cold storage houses, millers, canners, elevators, grain deal­ ers and wholesale dealers and retail­ ers doing a business of more than $100,000 -annually in the commodities to be named. Issuance of the President’s procla­ mation has been delayed, the an­ nouncement said, that the food ad­ ministration might, complete confer­ ences with representatives of trades and - producers and consumers. “It has been the desire of the food administration,’’ the announcement continued, “to secure the co-operation of all patriotic men in the various trades so as to eliminate speculation, hoarding, unreasonable profits, waste­ ful practices, etc., in the .great distri­ bution system of the country. “The food administration has be- lected about 20 basic commodities, and their products as forming the prime basis of life, and has limited its licensing control to the commodities, and also, in so far as practicable, eliminated the smallest units of busi­ ness in these staples. “It is the purpose of the food ad­ ministration to enect conservation in the' commercial use of these commod­ ities, and to beep them owing to­ ward the consumer in direct lines through the channels of trade in as economical a manner as .possible. The administration does not- wish to disr turb tlie normal activities of business and no business factor performing a useful function will be expetced to surrender that function. “The proclamation will require all of those handling the commodities concerned , to apply for license before November I, upon fovms which will be supplied on application to. the food administration. GERMANY’S MILITARY STRENGTH SHOWS MARKED DECREASE Review of Situation Made by French Commission. Washington. — Germany’s military strength now shows a clear decrease for the first time since the war began according to a review based upon date of the French general staff made pub­ lic here by the French high com­ mission. - Worn down and driven back by the never-ending pounding of the allies on the western ,front, the statement says I the Germans have made their supreme military effort after drawing heavily upon their inactive armies in the east and calling out their 1918 and part of the 1919 reserves. Thus, wh^e the allies have reached and are prepared to maintain their full strength while awaiting the com­ ing of America’s great army, the enemy’s resources are diminishing at the very moment when the military situation demands that they increase*. “This shows,” concludes the state­ ment, "the decisive character attend­ ing the operations of 1918 when three great democracies, England, France anad America, will unite their entire strength in attacking the enemy, in conformity with the only sound prin­ ciple of war.” COLONEL HOUSE IS A VISITOR AT WHITE HOUSE Washington.—Systematic collection of econoinic, historical, political and other information on European con­ ditions to be used eventually In peace negotiations was discussed by Col.

Some announcement is ex­ pected soon concerning the organiza­ tion of a staff of experts which Colo­ nel House will gather to assist him. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES OF GERMAN INTRIGUE IN AMERICA Washington. — Secretary Lansing drew upon his collectio- of secret German diplomatic correspondence again. He gave to the public, with­ out comment, ft usual, three brief cablegrams disclosine that more than % year before submarine; niracy drovfl America to war the Berlin govern­ ment was instructing Ambassador von Bevnstorff to arranre for destruction of Canadian railroads and to use Irish- Americans in carrying on sabotage. DANIELS ANNOUNCES NAVY BUILDING PROGRAM Washington. — The American navy w ar construction program consists of 787 vessels, including ail types from super-dreadnaughts to submarine chasers. In making this announcement, Sec­ retary Daniels said some of the ves­ sels have been completed within the past few weeks and are .now in ser­ vice -and that the remainder of the program is being rushed. The total cpst is estimated at $1,150,400,000. Examination of contracts by the le­ gal representatives of the builders pre­ vented the formal signing ot the agreements with the six companies which are to. build the craft, but Mr. Daniels said only minor details stood in the way of getting the vessels under construction. The companies awarded the con­ tracts are the New York Shipbuilding corporation, the Cramp Company, the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry- dock Company, the Fore River Ship-' building corporation, the Bath Iron Works and tfce Union Iron Works.

It Is supposed to be a- “stag” party, and Hollis is surprised on discovering a woman, who evidently wishes to remain unknown aboard. She merely tells him her name Is Vera. Carrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that he is engineering a copper pool. The yacht is sunk in a collision and Hol­ lis saves McCann, Millionaire, and one of the party. Hollis and Mc­ Cann rescue Vera and leave the ship in a small boat. McCann re­ fuses to submit to the authority of Hollis, and the latter enforces obe­ dience. The castaways are sighted by a ship, the Indian Chief, which takes them aboard. CHAPTER VIII—Continued. —6— “The lady was sent into the cabin, sir, and given a stateroom where she conld fix herself up a bit,” he answered soberly. “The other feller had a heap of a lot to say, an’ seemed to have some sorter grudge against you. I hadn’t any time to listen to his yarn, so I naturally turned him over to the bosum, ter have thet eye dressed. He must have got a peach o’ a swipe, sir.” “I had td hit him—yes; but we can talk of that later. Where is he now?” 4Tn the galley, sir, where they’re heating some water. After they get him fixed up, Is he to go aft, or for- rard?" “Aft, If you have room to spare; he ls.no snilorman, hut a millionaire from New York; he has money to burn.” The fellow looked at me with his mouth wide open, his glistening eyes almost laughable. “The devil you say, Bir; he don’t look the part to my notion. Vou was all part of a yacht party?” “Yes, the Esmeralda, a steam yacht, owned by Gerald Carrington of New York. We were run down about a hundred miles east of Montauk by a big liner, which must have been out of her course. She cut us square in two, but, excepting us three, all living oh board got away in the boats. By acci­ dent we were left, and escaped later In the dinghy.” “What became of the liner?” “She picked up the boats, and, think­ ing they had all the survivors, went on. She was a mail boat, likely. The yaJit went down five minutes after we left her; we’ve been afloat ever since. Now, Mr. Masters, that’s our story in brief. What’s the trouble here?” “I’ll tell yer enough to make it clear, sir,” he said slowly, “although there is others on board who con explain more In detail. You’re a seaman—or was once—so you’ll see easily the sorter fix we’re in. I’m the only officer left on the hooker, an’ I couldn’t navigate a ship if you’d give it to me. I’m only the chldf engineer, an’ my assistant is Tn Uie fo’castle with a broken leg. You *ee thet riffle, for-rard, sir? Well, it wus lightning did that. - Two bolts, so the crew says, fer I wus down below, an’ never knew whut happened till the electrics all went out Then I shut off steam, and clumb out on deck. Lord, but it wus a black night, raining cats and dogs, but no wind to speak of. It .wus the rain what saved us, for fire started yonder—yer can see where it- burned—but it died out o* Itself. When morning come we saw what we was up against; it looked a lot sight worse then than it does now.* Them bolts of lightning hod knocked the foremast Into smithereens, killed the wheels­ man, and put the steering gear plumb out o’ commission. Then the top­ mast an’ spars just naturally wrecked the bridge, and charthouse, an’ the whole mass caught fire. The second officer was in the wheelhouse, sir, an’ never knew what hit him, an’ both the captain an’ the first officer wus a standin’ tergetlier on the bridge. The top mast crushed the life out of ’em. There wus six sailormen hurt the same way, su’ four of ’em died. It wus the darndest mess I ever saw at sea, sir.” “Bad enough, surely-; when did this happen?” “Night afore last; we’ve cleaned up a bit since, but the crew won’t work much under me’ an’ we’re short- handed. I rigged up this wheel aft, so as to keep an engine going, and hung on, waiting for something to turn up. There wasn’t nothing else I could do.” “No, I presume not,” and my eyes rested thoughtfully on the scene for­ ward. “How is the hull—sound? You seem sunk deeply.” “That’s cargo, sir; full to the hatches.' The ship’s dry as a bone; have had the well sounded every three hours.” "And what about the crew?” “Just so, so; a crimp brought them aboard drunk, an’ we were not at Sea »long, enough for the mates to whip them into shape when this thing hap­ pened. I’m no deck officer, Mr. Hollis, and they don’t take orders from me very well. I call ’em a d d hard lot” I made no comment, endeavoring to turn all these facts o.ver in my mind, and reach some decision. It was evi­ dent enough what was wanted, and how I could best serve; but would they be satisfied with the offer which I felt willing to make? It was far from my desire to assume command of the In­ dian Chief, and guide her destinies on a long outward voyage, to whatever port her cargo had, been consigned. What that port was made slight dif­ ference, for my whole desire was to return as quickly as possible to New York. I would, however, assume tem­ porary command, and consent to navi­ gate the vessel to the nearest Ameri­ can port, where a competent skipper might be procured, and a new crew ob­ tained. The Indian Chief possessed no wireless outfit, and whatever I did must be on my own judgment These considerations flashed swiftly through my mind, and I attained decision be­ fore Masters again spoke. I would navigate-the boat to the nearest" port on the American coast, notify the own­ ers, and then leave them to do as ^hey pleased with vessel and crew. I cared nothing for the salvage; the presence of the disabled steamer in these wa­ ters had saved our lives, which was reward enough surely. AU I cared for was to get myself and the young lady safe ashore. My thought was inter-; other himself. pain, yet certainly not over thirty years of age. He was not at all like -what I had expected to see,, and I faced him In surprise. He had taken a step toward us, limping slightly, but at sight of a stranger paused. “Whom have you here, Masters?” he asked, his eyes on my.face. “Is there another vessel near us?” “No, sir,” and the engineer stood, hat in, hand, awkwardly shifting his weight. “We have picked^up some castaways. This nian here is Captain Hollis, late of the Atlas line.” * “Indeed;” he held out his hand to me, his eyes looking directly into mine. “I regret your misfortune, sir, but your coming is a godsend to us. Your ship was wrecked?” “Sunk in collision,” I answered. “But it was not my ship; I have not been to sea for several years in any position of command. On this occasion I was a guest on board a steam yacht belong­ ing to Gerald Carrington of New York. The name of the vessel was Uie Esme­ ralda. I need not relate the details just at present, but three of us have been picked up by this ship.” “Three—all passengers?” “Yes—one wus a woman.” “Yet, If I understand Masters aright, you have been in the merchant serv­ ice?” “In every capacity; when I retired, I was captain of the freighter Vulcan.” He stood silent a moment, thought­ fully considering me, and I could not determine whether or not he was alto­ gether pleased. Finally, having appar- entiy reached some decision, his gaze shifted to the face of the burly engi­ neer. “I will talk with Captain Hollis,” he said quieUy, “and perhaps you had bet­ ter return on deck, Masters, and keep an eye out; the fog thickens, and we are in the track of ships.” "Very well, sir.” As the door closed behind the engi­ neer’s bulky figure, the owner mo­ tioned me to a cbair, while he took an- ,rupted by thd sound of Masters’ voice. "It sorter seemed to me, Mr. Hol­ lis,” he was saying, “that maybe it would be best for me to explain these things before you went into the cabin. You’ll naturally want to know -just the condition before you decide what to do.” ‘T - have decided, Masters,” I an­ swered briefly. “There is only one thing I can do legally, and that is navigate the Indian Chief to the near­ est American port, and surrender her to her owners. As a licensed captain of steam I have authority to assume command to this extent, but no more.” “I reckoned you would look at it that way, sir. I’m no sea lawyer, but I sorter figured it out about as you do. But that ain’t the situation ex­ actly.” “What isn’t?” “Why, tliis owner business, sir, You see, ffie owner of the Indian Chief, an’ every pound o’ cargo below hatches, is on hoard here.” “The owner is on board I” “That’s the gospel truth; that’s why I took the trouble to keep you here, and tell you what I have, before you went down and met him, sir. It gives you a chance to think out your best course.” “But if the man is aboard, why did he not appear on deck to give us wel­ come? Surely our arrival must have been of interest?” “Likely as not he hasn’t even heard yet that you are aboard. You see, bis cabin is on the starboard side astern, and he would see nothing from them ports. Besides, Mr. Hollis, he is lame, and it Is a bit hard for him to get around on a ship without help. What do you-say, sir? Shall we go down now, an’ talk it over below?” “The sooner the better,” I said, with a glance over the port rail. “The fog is thickening out yonder, and we may have a rough night. The steamer would ride a heavy sea better with some more of that riffle overboard.” CHAPTER IX . Contraband of War. The knowledge that the owner was actually on board changed the entire situation. . I would have jto argue it out with him undoubtedly, for quite naturally he would object to any re­ turn to an American port. Well, I might be in for a disagreeable inter­ view,- but I Imd made up my mind, and it was not to be changed by any blus- ter-or offer of high wages. “Come on, Masters," I said brusque­ ly. “Let’s get this over with.” The after cabin extended from rail to rail, the door opening directly from the main deck. There were two cabins astern, occupying apparently the full width of the v.*ssel, and the engineer rapped with his Knuckles on the panel of the nearest door. There was no re­ sponse, but a second attempt resulted in a voice bidding us enter. It was a pleasant enough interior, lighted by two ports, but shewing no attempt at decoration, a man arose from one of the chairs and faced us, the light from the stern port shinirig full upon him. He was tall, delicate looking his fe-' tures bearing marks of “I hardly know how best to approach my subject,” he said soberly. *Tf you were merely a shipwrecked merchant captain, I could make you a rather at­ tractive offer; but, as you have retired from the sea, that would probably prove no special inducement.” “The pay, you mean? Well, hardly; I have no desire for a berth.” “So I supposed, or else you would scarcely have been one of Carring­ ton’s guests for a yachting cruise. I presume Masters told you the fix we are in?” “Yes, as strange an accident as I ever heard of at Sea. You have got to have a navigator, and I am'perfectly willing to serve you so far as I can. I owe you this for picking us up from an open boat. With your permission, sir, and without mentioning pay, I will agree to tfike !command of the Indian Chief, and sail her to the' nearest American port, where you can procure officers, and, if necessary, a new crew.” He sat silent, one white hand crum­ pling a paper on the desk, his forehead creased, the lines of his face showing clearly. He appeared to hesitate, un certain how best to answer me. “I—-I certainly appreciate your of­ fer, Captain Hollis. It is a most lib­ eral one, because, If I know anything of maritime law, you would be justly entitled to high compensation for thus “The Owner Is on Board!” saving both ship and cargo. I had in­ tended offering you—at least that was my first thought—the sum of three hundred a month to take command, the contract to reihain in force after the conclusion of this voyage, if you so de­ sired. Thisyou will not consider? The money argument has no weight?” I smiled, but shook my head. - “Then there is nothing left me, ex­ cept to appeal to your humanity,” he went on, leaning forward, his eyes on mine. “You belong, I suspect, to my class, and I can give you my confi­ dence, trust you with my secret. Is this not true?” "I hope I am worthy of such faith,” -v I answered wonderingly, as he paused. “I repose that faith in you, and. ask you to face this situation from my standpoint. I am the sole owner of the Indian Chief, and also of her cargo. ( Every dollar I possess on this earth is tied up on board this vessel. That is why I sailed as supercargo; I dare not trust the venture to anyone else. IJnder the hatches I have a cargo val­ ued at nearly half a million dollars. It was purehnsed and shipped on the strength of a 'contract signed by a high official of cne of the European governments, yet the responsibility of payment rests upon myself and a few intimate friends. If the Indian Chief safely discharges this cargo, within a designated time, at a certain port, or contingent thereto, I shall make a for­ tune, and retain my honor as a mer­ chant If not, then I am a ruined man, Mr. Hollis, and my reputation is gone also.” “What port?” “Hamburg.” I leaned forward, deeply interested by now in his unusual story. “Then I presume your cargo is large­ ly munitions of war?” “Of that nature—yes.” “From what port did you sail?” “Baltimore, July 26th; we were held back within the capes for two days by a severe storm.” “Then you have not heard of th e; declarations of war In Europe?” His eyes widened, his pale face grew whiter than ever. “War in Europe; already declared I” he exclaimed. “Is that actually true? We carry no wireless, and have spoken with no vessel since we left the Chesa­ peake. What nations are at war?” “The last message we received on the Esmeralda was that Germany and Austria were already pitted against France, Russia and England. The Ger­ man troops had invaded Belgium in an effort to reach Paris. The night before our accident a great British battleship, racing toward New York, passed us. She was under orders to bottle up the German liners. May I see your mani­ fest?” He took the list from an inner drawer, and handed it over to me with­ out a word, evidently stunned by tliis unexpected news, and unable to speak. I turned the typewritten pages slowly, glancing quietly over the various items. They were astounding. “Why, ren’.iy, I can hardly credit my own eyes,” I exclaimed. “You tc-11 me these goods were actually contracted for by the German government agent In the open market?” "Not exactly in the open market, Mr. Hollis. It was all accomplished in my name; I alone am known in the trans­ action. Certain intimate personnl relations won me the contract, my mother being a relative of a high offi­ cial. The negotiations were conducted secretly.” “I should suppose so; yet such pur­ chases would look as though war had been anticipated." I arose .to my feet, walked across to the port, and stared out into the thick­ ening mist overhanging the water. The man did not move or speak, and I turned again to find him with head buried in bis arms on tbe desk. His attitude of complete despair was full of pathetic appeal. “I am no international lawyer,” I said gravely, "but there is scarcely an item on that manifest which' is not contraband of war. The getting of this cargo into Hamburg, or any other port of Germany-now, will be almost im­ possible—a mere gambler’s chance. English and French vessels are no doubt gathering along the coast like birds of prey.” “The German navy is strong.” “Yes; but not strong enough to cope with both Great* Britain and France. For a while, however, they.may suc­ ceed in Ueepingopenapassage through the North sea. That would be your only hope, for the English channel will be closed already. The Ihdian Chief sails under the United States flag?” “Yes.” - “That might prevent a search, pro­ viding you had • a good explanation ready, especially as you left port be­ fore war was declared. However, spies are everywhere, and the nature of the cargo aboard may be known. If so, every cruiser on watch has already been notified by wireless.” He arose to his feet facing me, his slender hands opening and closing neryously, his face white and drawn. “I realize all this, Captain Hollis," he said, his voice trembling, “and also that Giere still remains, a chance of success. I like your face, your man­ ner of frondng things. I think you are the very man whom God has sent to me in this emergency. Listen: I tell you I am absolutely ruined unless I complete this voyage. I am a young man, not over thirty, but my health is gone. You can see I am practically a physical wreck, yet I am the only sup­ port of an aged mother and three younger children. Two years ago no one had brighter prospects In Hf e than I; now I am struggling desperately for mere existence. A little moire than a year ago I met with a serious accident; I need not go Into details—the result you can see by looking at me. For ! eight months I was n*. a hospital in i New York, lingering between life and death. There was no one to attend to my business affairs-, and everyGiing' went to the dogs.. When I got out AgnIn all that was left me was this vessel, a reputation for business abil­ ity, and a few thousand dollars. Thi3 contract came to me as a godsend; it was so arranged that I was able to carry It with a little help. If success­ ful, it will put me on my feet again.” “You are not German?” “Not a drop of Teuton blood is in my veins, so far as I know. I never dreamed of the possibility of war, or even asked the nature of the ship­ ments.” “I understand. Of course it makes little difference where one’.s sympa- tliies chance to be .in a case like this.” I put my hand on his shoulder, and looked into his eyes. “You have been perfectly frank with me; now I am going to be just as frank with you. I believe your story, and my whole inclination is to stand by and help you through.” “You will!” he interrupted eagerly, his eyes glowing. “You mean you are going to make the attempt?” “No, I didn’t say that, my friend; only that such is my natural inclina­ tion. If there was only my own peril, my own time, to be considered, I would shake hands with you instantly, and ■> i, -------8 s»k> g Fl G R E A T BIG - Producing ano Re mi* ll Oil prices booming f*--> wBands drawing divd n inenta in ground-finnr- ,.i niJii Im*.;and refining compnni^o ^ BIG FREE BOOK Gr FfiOJft about big, substantia *•> oil and refining cf.miv.n > of 12 conservative Ir*-' fccrea of valuable c V- bank, all paid for nn,i Oklahoma and Tex*= »^- region.

DISPATCHES FHOM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Touiporary removal of restrictions upon the fishermen g£ eastern North Carolina in the food fish industry will Jii-OTide several million pounds of good Korili Carolina food fish as substitutes I,,i higher priced meats, according to Henry A. Page, North Carolina food administrator. Mr. Page warmly commend^ the fisheries Commission in its determi­ nation to remove restrictions. Ac­ cording to statements from the coast, the food fish industry of eastern North Carolina had been severely crippled. TVith the intense need of the moment, the Fisheries Commission, charged with the duty of formulating regula­ tions for the fishing industry, felt it­ self justified in removing certain re­ strictions. I This action was taken at the solici­ tation of the food administration, it being recognized that the public inter­ est demanded a larger supply of fish for substitution for beef, pork and mut­ ton which must be exported to Europe for the maintenance of our armies and the armies and civilian population of our allies. The fisheries of eastern North Caro­ lina are among the most important on the Atlantic coast and the removal of the restrictions on Tar Heel fishermen iieans not only that the people of this state will be more largely supplied with fresh and salt fish at much lower prices than has prevailed recently, but that hundreds of thousands of pounds of fish will be shipped to other states. Food Administrator Henry A. Page Itelieves that with this larger supply of fish available; with the season for rabbits, squirrels and other game opening; with the increased use of poultry and eggs; with a vastly in­ creased supply of home-grown pork in the state. North Carolina will be able to release for export to Europe prac- ucaIly all of the million dollars worth of pork and beef which has been im­ ported into this state each year here­ tofore. The program of the food adminis­ tration calls for the substitution in hotels, cafes and homes of fish, poul­ try. game and other meat products for bee. and pork: the substitution of oth­ er cereals and vegetables for wheat product#, and rigid economy in the use of fat- and sugar, the need for which i- desperate with all of our allies.

Williams says that ac­ tive arrangements are being made to put in final shape the short course in agriculture for farmers that are to start on Octobr 30 at the State Col­ lege, Raleigh, and continue ,for six­ teen weeks. These courses have been especially designed .to give those who come to the College for this short practical instruction, information along different lines of farming prac­ tical ihstructflpn, information along different lines of farming practiced in the state that may be put into use on the home farm by those who come. The early farming in North Caro­ lina under pioneer conditions of so­ ciety was a comparatively simple operation, but in this day and time,- as farming has become a more com­ plex and commercial enterprise and when crops are raised on a large 3cale for competition in world markets, the well-informed and alert farmer, other things being equal, is the one who is going to make the most out of his farming operations. The courses, as arranged, will no doubt greatly aid those taking them to become more modern and businesslike in their farm­ ing operations than they could other­ wise possibly have been. Opportunity will be afforded to give the busy men on the-, farm, both old and young, to spend two or four months at the college studying the different branches of farming thsy have especial interest in and do so at a sesaon of the year when work on the farm is least pressing. Those who come -will be brought in close person­ al touch with the specialists of the College, JSxperiment Station, and Ex­ tension Service and thereby be given an opportunity to become acquainted With the work that is being done in the state at the present time in the interest of those engaged in farming. Those attending the course should be­ come better fitted for taking up their life work by having- Becured a better and more intimate view of agriculture, in general and a higher efficiency and knowledge in their chosen .fields of fanning. Courses are to be offered In field crops, in live stock including dairying, horticulture, and in poultry. Arrange­ ments have been made whereby spe­ cial lectures on different phases of agriculture will be--given by the differ­ ent specialists of the college, experi­ ment station, and extension service. Many farmers, of this county and of other counties in the state should make every effort to arrange their farm work so that they can avail themselves of this splendid opportu­ nity of visiting the college and secur­ ing practical information that is to be I offered there, in the short courses in j agirculture" that have been arranged I especially for the busy farmers of th- state. University Men Study V/ar. The student battalion of the Univer* sity had its first taste of modern war­ fare methods here, when the four com­ panies were divided into attacking and defending parties and maneuvered in the various basic principles of combat- tactics as applied to the infantry or­ ganizations. During the past week the mechan­ ism of extended order drill has been learned with precision. Various exer­ cises in the nature of maneuvers have been carried out, as far as practicable, against imaginary or represented ene­ mies. The self-reliance, initiative, ag­ gressiveness, conception of teamwork and other fundamental characteristics of successful leadership acquired by the platoon leaders during the past week were given .a test Saturday and the results were In most cases very favorable. At 2 o'clock the battalion was form­ ed on the parade ground and after the definite plan of action had been ex­ plained in a few preliminary remarks, the two organizations set off by dif­ ferent routes for the scene of the com­ bat. The members of the attacking party wore white bands around their hats to distinguish them from the other or­ ganization. Lieutenant Leonard ^as in charge of the attacking party and the defending unit was under the com­ mand of Lieutenant Whitfield. Oo ■SRS hr Women For Forty Years Lydia E.

The ofiicer or other fortunate possessor of an outfit so compact and practical can carry with him all that he needs to keep him fit and comfortable. It is an evolution; the result of much in­ genuity, and several Jrials on the part of its designer, Mrs. Lillian Craig Clark of Chicago. It is made of heavy brown denim lined with a lightweight brown rubber sheeting, and cut in the form of a cross. The wings fold over and fasten with snap fasteners so that the kit makes a small parcel, easily carried by its handle of denim. When opened out It is only 27 inches long and 31 Inches wide, but it provides 30 com­ partments for carrying everything needed in the way of toilet articles, stationery, bandages and other things. Its rubber lining protects the contents from moisture. Each of the wings provide space for pockets of denim, machine-stitched down into large or small sizes. At the center there are four pockets and six j loops (made of strips of denim, I doubled). These hold hair and clothes j brushes, safety razor (in box), shaving I stick and cream, comb, talcum powder, tooth powder and brush. The wings make place for many other things and some of the small pockets are fastened down with snap fasteners so that their contents cannot slip out. Besides tlie articles already j named, this case carries paper, en­ velopes, postcards, pen and pencil, blotter, postage stamps, small Frenqh- Engllsh dictionary, pipe, tobacco; hand­ kerchiefs, needles, thread, pins, small blunt-pointed scissors, unbreakable mirror, sheepskin roll for shoes, fine comb and a towel, and still there are compartments to spare for some other I things, as bandages and medicine, J which the individual may fill to suit | himself. But when all are placed and j the kit fastened, it is unbelievably I small and compact—no trouble to car­ ry.

Johnson, a Phila­ delphia lawyer, was once explaining to a jury the nature ami the unfair­ ness of “leading” or guiding quistions. He illustrated his explanation with an anecdote. “A young eliap and.a pretty girl,” he said, “sat on a secluded bench at Lemon IIill. The girl turned to him and said earnestly: “,‘You n.sk mo for a kiss. There is a language in kisses. A kiss on the hand denotes chivalrous respect. On the forehead it denotes a firm and faithful friendship. On the lips—’ her color rose and she drew a long breath—‘a kiss on the lips denotes all things. Kiss tne, then, once. Ex­ press In one kiss your feeling toward me;’ “The bashful youth, pondered. “ ‘I don’t want to lose her,’ he said to himself. ‘Where is it best to kiss her? Hand, forehead or lips’’ “A mellow whistle interrupted him. He looked at the girl. Her red mouth was puckered up In the form of a rose­ bud; she had pulled down her hat so as to hide her forehead completely, and both hands were thrust up to the wrists in her pockets.’’ The Era of .Censorship. “A little learning is- a dangerous thing,” exclaimed the man who quotes. “Possibly,” replied Senator Sorghum. “A great deal just now depends on how you got your information and what you intend to do with it.” Well-Known Firm. “Who painted Brown’s house?” “I think he said it was done by Fitz & Starts.” A torpid liver condition prevents proper food assimilation.

Completely Recovered Since Using Doan’s. Mrs. Harry A. Lyon, 5 St. William St., S. Boston, Mass., says; '‘Doan's KiAney Pills■ have surely .done me wonderful good. About two months prior to the birth of my baby, I had two convulsions, and was taken to a hospital. Doctors said the convulsions were due to my kidneys not working properly. “I had swelling of the feet and ankles so that I had to wear large - sized slippers.

They are surely reliable.” Mrs. Lyon gave the above state­ ment in May, 1915, and on March 12, 1917, she said: “My cure has lasted.

SOMETHING ABOUT BREADS. There are enough kinds of bread to be prepared in the home, which Will save white flour, ■be palatable and yet offer a variety. Oat meal bread may be prepared in several' ways and makes a most ac­ ceptable, tasty and wholesome loaf. Oatmeal Bread.— Add a cupful of boiling water to a cup­ ful of oatmeal and let it stand well covered on the back, part of the stove for an hour. Add when lukewarm to a quart of light bread sponge, add sugar, salt and a tablespoonful of shortening, mix well, let rise, then stir and put into the well-greased pans, when risen bake at once. This bread needs longer btiking than the bread that contains cooked oatmeal. Cooked Datmeal Bread.—Take a quart of cooked. oatmeal left from breakfast, add a half cupful of molas­ ses, cool and add one yeastcake dis­ solved in a fourth of a cupful of water, one tablespoonful of salt and flour to make a sponge. Let rise an hour and a’ half, then make into loaves. Knead at first In the mixing bowl, then put it out on the board. Luncheon Bread.—Take two cupfuls of sweet milk, one egg, two tahlespoon- fuls of molasses, one half cupful of sugar (brown), two cupfuls of graham flour, one-fourth of a cupful of white flour and a cupful of cornmeal,. four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of salt and two-thirds of a cupful of nut meats, chopped. . Let stand 20 minutes before putting into the oven. Bake one hour in a mod­ erate oven. Corn Spoon Bread.—Take one cup­ ful of scalded cornmeal, one pint of sweet milk, a half cupful of flour, two tablespoonfuls each of sugar and melt­ ed butter, two eggs well beaten, a tea­ spoonful of baking powder and a little salt; bake 30 minutes. ■ • Bran Bread.—Four cupfuls of wheat bran, two cupfuls of- whole-wlieat flour, three-fourths of a cupful of' molasses, a teaspoonful each of salt and soda, two cupfuls of sweet milk, a cupful of raisins and a tablespoonful of Shorten­ ing. Bake one hour. pineapple Jiiice1 and the juice of half a lemon, cook together in a double boiler.' Beat the yolks of three eggs, add a tablespoonful of sugar, a fourth of a tenspoouful of salt, gradually beat in tlie' hot fruit juice and-cook over hot water until smooth and thick.

M C K I N E B Y J B K B M E D Y C O . , C H I C A G O CHICKEN FOR TW O. Many housewives who have but two or three in family hesitate to buy chicken except when en­ tertaining as it lasts so long. With.an ice chest one small chicken will serve three or four metilS for two, not giving very large servings to be sure, but plenty enough to sat­ isfy a good appetite. The second joint is a good serving if grown on a normally active chicken and with a good helping of mashed potato, plen­ ty of good gravy and another vegetable will make a good main dish even for the hearty, man. The drum sticks may be boned, stuffed and used as another meal, the wings, neck and. back as a stew with biscuits and gravy and there will still be enough bits to combine with apple, celery, and a fCw nuts to make a most sustaining salad for lun­ cheon. By planning to cook vegetables with-meat In a casserole, the meat sea­ sons the vegetables and a small serv­ ing will satisfy. Creamed ’ chicken on toast may be one way to use the breast and other bits carefully removed from the bones. The bones, crushed and cooked in cold water will make a cup­ ful or two of good broth, which may commence the 'dinner. Of course we will not enjoy chicken for four meals closely, following, but before there’ is opportunity for any spoiling 1t may be acceptably served. ' The back and neck may he made into a vegetable stew by adding carrots, .onions, potatoes and celery with rice and cooking a long time well covered In the oven. For an invalid the deli­ cate' fillet taken, from the breast broil­ ed in a well:greased paper, makes a most dainty tid-liit. The ,breast .may be cooked, cut in slices and served as sandwich filling with bacon, making a' inost popular and satisfying sandwich. Chicken Jelly.—Take one chicken breast cut fine, and add to a pint of hot chicken stock. Dissolve a package of gelatin in a little cold water and add it to the hot stock. Season will and pour into'a mold. Serve cut in various shapes as salad or molded in small forms served on lettuce, with mayonnaise or boiled dressing. Birmingham Salad.—Set upon heart leaves of lettuce two slices of pineap­ ple. cut half way through the sections for eaUng nnd In the center place a ball of seasoned cream cheese after cover­ ing the whole with dressing. To make the dressing take a half cupful of the SEASONABLE DISHES. Lay n thick slice of ripe tomato on a lettuce leaf, then on the tomato a j ring of green pepper one- fourth inch high. FiU with chopped mustard pickles, ripe olives and pearl onions; garnish with sliced pickled wal­ nuts and serve any de­ sired dressing. Bran Bread Sticks.— To one cupful of scalded milk add j three ' tablespoonfuls of shortening, i half a teaspoonful of salt and a table- spoooful of molasses; stir till the shortening is melted arid the liquid j IaScwarm, then add a cake of com-; pressed yeast, softened in a fourth of i a cupful of water, and one cupful and j a half of bran with as much bread : flour as can be conveniently -mixed in j with a spoon. The dough should not ; be mixed stiff enough to kneed. Mix : and cut and turn with a .spoon or knife, cover,, and let. it rise to become light. When It is double its bulk, but­ ter the lingers and pull off bits of the dough, roll on a board and put into bread stick pans. When very light bake 15 minutes. Brush with the white of an egg and return to the oven to glaze. Rhubarb Baked With Raisins.—Peel the rhubarb unless very tender and cut in Half-inch slices. For a pound of raisins use'a lialf cupful of raisins and a cupful of sugar. Cover the raisins with boiling water and let cook until the water is evaporated to three spoonfuls. Sprinkle -with rhu­ barb, raisins and sugar in a baking dish in layers nnd cook in the oven or on top of the range until tender but not broken. Steamed Pudding -Without Efigs.- Mix together two cupfuls of soft crumbs, one cupful of stoned raisins, half a cupful of molasses, one cupful of milk, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonfnl of soda and half a teaspoonful each of clove and cinna­ mon. Two tablespoonfuls of cocoa may be added for a change If desired. Turn into a buttered mold and steam two hours. Serve with hard sauce. Chicken Salad.—Allow equal parts of cold cooked chicken, cut In small bits, celery cut in small slices with a little chopped cabbage, blend with mayonnaise and serve on lettuce leaves. m p iv m S. 0.

We have been instructed In -several languages this year to use cornmeal and save white flour, which we are all willing- to do; SjK8f5j|jaKj5{ here’s hoping we do not run out of cornmeal. Corncake. — Sift together one cup­ ful of flour, three- fourths of a cupful of cornmeal, one third of a cupful of sugar,, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a half-tenspoonful of salt.

Deviled Rabbit.—Melt half a table­ spoonful of butter in a chafing dish or a double boiler; add half a pound of common cheese cut thin and stir constantly until it is melted; add one- fourth of a teaspooriful of salt, half a teaspoonful of. ' paprika, one; table­ spoonful of picalli or mixed mustard pickle finely chopped, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and the yolks of two eggs beaten and mixed with half a cupful of cream; stir constant­ ly and cook over boiling • water until smooth aud thick. Serve at once for luncheon or supper on hot crackers •or bread toasted on- one side. Tango Salad.—Peel and halve and core ripe, juicy pears, and if desired, ••ut the halves in thin slices without cutting quite through. Rub them with the cut side of a lemon, set a ball of cream cheese or a few cubes of Roque­ fort in the cavity, set these on heart leaves of lettuce and pour over -a dressing made .as follows: Beat a fourth of a cupful of olive oil with a teaspoonful of vinegar, salt and mus­ tard, half a teaspoonful of paprika, and one-fourth of a cupful of chilli sauce, until well blended, then beat into a ciipful of mayonnaise. Even With the Barber. • “Don’t you care for any postcards today?” asked the postal clerk as lie lmnded 'tiie man the -stamp ,he. had requested. ' “Not today,” said the man. “Or some stamped envelopes? We have some new ones.” “No, thank you.” “Would you like a money order?” “No.’*- “Or perhaps you would like to open a postal savings account?” t But the man had fled. “Who was that fellow, and why did you ask him all those questions?” asked a fellow clerk. “That,” said the other clerk, “is my barber. For years when he has shaved me he lias bothered me with recommendations of massages, sham­ poos, haircuts and hair tonics.

A ___ VOLUMN XlX-MOCKSVELE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 24, 1917.NUMBER IS DESCRIPTION CAMP JACKSON, Drafted Men Represent Eyery Wadk of L i f e —Orderly and Well Respected, OwiDgtothe large number of men from every county in the state at Oamp Jackson, Columbia, S. C., there is a mutual interest from all sections of the state. The following letter from one pi the boys, written to the News- Herald. Morgan ton, iB most inter­ esting and gives an insight into real conditions and the men with whom our own boys are coming in contact: “The soil here is sandy and hence very favora-- Ie to drill work. Rain interferes only while it is ac­ tually raining and there is no mud to cling to the shoes after the rain­ fall has ceased. “Every inoiniog a train of cat • tie cars loaded with laborers comes into camp from Columbia. These men are employed in constructing barracks In the northern and east ern sections of the camp. Al­ though the construction company employs a vast army of men it is hardly able to erect barracks as fast as they are filled by the stead, ily increasing “national army.” At 6:30 p. m., the laborers entrain again and return to Colombia. Because of the nature of the cars used or because of the class of peo* pie with which they are . loaded this train has been nicknamed by the boys the ‘cattle’ train. Any­ thing that can carry a hammer can qualify as a carpenter. Only yes terday there was a ODe-armed car­ penter working near L company’s barracks. I have actually seen workmen walking with' crutches. There are, of course, a goodly num­ ber of intelligent? looking fellfews among the ‘cattle,’ but for ' the most part they are the foremen. The vast majority of the “ common laborers ate negroes or cripples. “The drafted men ill Camp here are a representative body. Therfe' are farmers, lawyers, preacherB, dectors and teachers. Some are intelligent, eager and quick to learn the drill as weil as the ways of camp life. Some are neat in: their personal appearance; others are of that class of feltows wno have never known or practiced personal hygiene. The soldiers- come from all classes of society and represent weil America’s - many- sided life. “It can be safely said] ?! think, that never before wasV there ever assembled so congeniaia biinch 6f men as the part^of the National army assembled at Gamp JackBon. I haven’t, heard of a ..Bingle fight among the men—not even a quar­ rel. The men spend their off hours in the barracks, at the ‘Post Ex­ change,’ the Boldiers store, at the Y. M. C. A. buildings or in Co lumbia, but when I last heard of­ ficially, which was only a few day s ago, not One drafted man had been placed in the guard house. Cer­ tainly their conduct has not been perfect and some misuuderstand ings have come about bnt it has been immensely better than any reasonable persoD would have ex­ pected. — “The discipline here is Btrict. It has to be among so many sold­ iers. But it iB far from harsh or unjust. The officers are consider­ ate and patient and ready at all times to give information. We are treated as men and not as ‘dumb driven cattle.’ “The chief objection to the camp ration iB fhe lack ofvariety. - Wei get Irish'potatoes fevfery - Say and every meal. We have beef and beans and tomato soup every day. Agets monotonous. .Wermiss the biBcqits, pieB, cakes ,'mdfJeoodies -mat. wc would get nTere -we nt hotBe.

Detailed instructions to postmas­ ters on the increased letter mail rates which become effective No­ vember 2 under the terms of the war tax bill, have been issued by Postmaster General Burleson. They do, not apply to mail to most for­ eign countries which are fixed by international treaties, but they do apply to all domestic mail, and un­ der that classification is included mail to Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Pa­ nama the United States postal age­ ncy at Shanghai, and all persons in thfe military service oi the Uni­ ted States in Europe. The Post- office Department issued these in­ structions: “Post.masterB shall, on and after November 2 see that postage is paid at the rate of 3 cents an ounce or fractiou thereof on letters and other first class matter except drop letters. All drop letters, that is, letters mailed for delivery from the office at which posted, including those for delivery by city, rural or other carrier -of such office are re­ quested to have postage paid on them at the rate of 2 cents an ounce or traction thereof. Postal cards are required to be prepaid two cents, and, therefore, the one- cent postage Btamp affixed to them in addition to one cent stamp im­ pressed on such cards. Post cards (private mailing- Cards) bearing written messages must have 2 cents postage prepaid on them.” Experience of a Texas Candidate.

After many. years’ experience in the use of it and other cough medicines, there are many who prefer Chamberlain’s to any other. Mrs. A. C. Kirstein, Green­ ville, Ills., writes, “Chamberlain's - Cough Remedyhasbeen used in my mother’s home and mine for years, and we always found it a quick cure for colds ,and bronchial troubles.' We find it to be the most reiiabe cough medicine we have used.’’ New York Deaths From- Automo­ biles. The New York World says: Up to Sept I there had been 243 days of 1917. There had been 636 persons killed by automobiles in New York State; Every nine hours, sleeping or waking, some one is slain' on the roads of a single State by a sin gle-means of conveyance! , That this record is far out of pro portion to the numbers involved, comparison shows. Iu New York City; alone in September, auto­ mobiles killed forty-six persons, trolley cars only five, though they carried perhaps one hundred times as many people; wagons four. For a full year the corresponding num­ ber would be 84S. AU the steam railways of the United States have killed, of their passengers, from all canses, scarce half as many in two years. The population of the State may have increased 2 per cent, in the year; automobile killings, already apaling, have increased 15 per cent in New Jersey 11 per cent. Child hood and extreme age are most threatened by the new terror, bnt no age or condition is immune Within a week two' aviators, men in the prime of life, chosen for superb strength and nervous con­ trol, have been killed by motor ve­ hicles on Long Island roads.

A Practical Courte in Agriculture For Farmers at State College. Dean G. B. WilliamB says that active arrangements are being made to put in final shape the short courses in agriculture ’’ for faruiers that are to start October 30th at the State College, Kaleigb, and continue for sixtefen' weeks. These courses have been especially designed to give those who come to the College for this short prac tical instruction, information along different lines of farming practiced in the State that may be: put into use on the home.' farm by those who come. The early farming in North Car­ olina nnder pioneer - conditions of SGciety was a comparatively sim­ ple operation, but in this day and time; as farming haB become a more complex and commercial en­ terprise and when crops are raised on a large scale for competition in world markets, the well-informed and alett farmer, other things be­ ing equal, is the one who^is going to make the most out of his farm - ing operations. The courses, as arranged, will no doubt greatly aid those taking them to become more modern and bu6iness-like in their farming operations than they could otherwise possibly have been. Opportunity will be afforded to give the busy men on the farm, both old and young, to spend two to four months at the College stu­ dying. the different branches ol farming they have especial inter­ est in and do so at a season of the year when work on the farm is is least pressing. Those who come will Im brought ip personal touch with the specialists of the College/ Experiment Station, .and Extefe- sion Service and thereby be given an opportunity to become acquain­ ted with the work I h it is being done in the State at the present time in tbe.interest c f those en gaged in farming. Those-attend­ ing the course should become bet­ ter fitted for taking up their life work by having seemed a better and more intimate view of agri­ culture, in general and_ a higher efficiency and knowledge in their chosen fields of farming. Courses are to be offered in field erop9, in live stock including dairying, horticulture, and in poultry. Arrangements have been made whereby special lectnres od different phases of agriculture will be given by the different special­ ists of tho College/ Experiment Station and Extension Service. Many farmers of this county and of other counties in the State should make every effort to . ar­ range their farm work so that they can avail themselves of this splen- did opportunity of visiting the College and securing practical in­ formation that is to be offered there in the short courses in agri­ culture that-have been arranged especially for this busy farmers of the State.

Passing of The Private Car. The Charlotte Observer thinks that.the time has arrived when the private car of the railroad officials should give way to better facilities for the public. A Charlotte man was -moved to give this matter serious thought when be viewed three private cars in one train. The railroads are crowded more than fever before. Their capacity is being sorely taxed. The public on some of the main line9 are being forced to stand,'while the railroads declare that they cannot run more trains on account of the heavy traf­ fic incidental with the movement of the (ioops. It is a poor doctor that will not take his own medi­ cine, and we, like The Observer, feel (bat it is time that the railroad officials were giving up their pri­ vate cars for a better purpose and taking public fare in the coaches or Pullmans.-—Es.

W« were all vaccinated for smallpox and fever, and as most of the boys had not been vaccinated for smallpox they had sore arms for the second innoculation for fever. The night after the second innocula tion. we were nearly all sick. Being sick away from home without home care, no extra food prepared for you as w e always got when we were at home sick, and having to .drill just the same, made us long for home and to beci m3 discouraged with Camp Jackson. But nearly all &re' well now and the boys seem to be better satisfied this week. Three of the boys who left Mocksville Sep­ tember 21st, have been promoted to Corporal and another Bvgler. There are several more of the boys that bid fair to be promoted. Yours truly, M. F. BOOE.

What The New Quarantine Law Requires of Davie'Citizens. . Do you know what is required of. you by the new State Quarantine LawT It requires parents or householders to ' re­ port every case of whooping cough, diph­ theria, measles, smallpox,“!scarlet fever, and typhoid fever occurring in their homes to the county quarantine officer. It requires pnysicians [to report every case of these'diseases that they'are call­ ed on to attend to the county quarantine officer and to do this within twenty-four hours. It requires public school teachers to fill out and return the blanks furnished them by the county quarantine officer, and to follow the rules and regulations sent to protect them and their schools in case of an outbreek of [ any contagious disease. It requires county quarantine o ffict-rs io send to any parent or house­ holder iu^whQse home a contagious dis­ ease disease has been ^reported a yellow placard with the name of." the disease printed on it with instructions for post­ ing the placard on the front of the house; it requires him to'.’ send instructions for the treatment and control of the patient in the house. The quarantine officer is required to enforce the quarantine law and to make it give the, protection for which it was intended. Counties reporting many cases of con­ tagious diseases are given credit for doing good work. It shows that the people are co-operating with the quarantine officer and are reporting all or s great many of their cases. It shows that they are in­ terested in reducing illness and saving the lives of little children, and it means that there will be fewer deaths to report later on. The names and addresses of those hav­ ing had a case of contagious disease dur­ ing the month of September, wnich were reported to me, are printed below. If you know of other cases whose names do not appear here, such information given the quarantine officer will be appreciated and held in strict confidence. It may be the means of saving a life or keeping down an epidemic. The following cases were reported: Typhoid Fever—Mary Holman, Mocks, ville; J A. .Wagoner, Mocksville, R. 2.. Mrs. Sam Avery, D.

This document will be mailed to every registrant not yet in service, on a day to be fixed, seven days being given to each registrant to complete , and registetr the same. Assigned by Classes. "The local boards will then examine each questionaire and assign each reg­ istrant to one of five classes. "These dashes will be based upon- every conceivable condition, from the family or occupational standpoint, that should properly be advanced by a man desiring to be excused from military duty. Class one will be the first called for physical examination and service, and when it is exhausted, class two will follow, and thus - each man registered will ultimately take bis place if needed. "Every opportunity for appeal from such classification by the local board has been retained and perfected, but proceedings have been greatly"simpli­ fied “The tedious work of the local boards has been practically eliminat­ ed by the production of a form to be known as No. 1000, which will be the foundation stone of the new system. Through its use all the laborious work of making and posting lists has been eliminated. All of the old docket sheets and records will be made un­ necessary and by the arrangement of its columns the work of the local board will be reduced to a minimum.

Apparently contingents of the Rus­ sian fleet—in all about 20 warships of various classes—are bottled up in Moon sound, with a cordon of German warcraft barring their egress north­ ward back into the Gulf of Finland or to the south into the Gulf of Riga. Brave, but outclassed by reason of superior gun range and heavy ton­ nage, the Russians gave battle to the Germans and attempted to force back the enemy armada off oesel island. Standing far outside the shell zone of the Russians, however, the guns of the German dreadnoughts sank the battleship Slava—a relic of the days before the Russo-Japanese war—and so badly damaged other units that the Russian flotilla was forced to seek re­ fuge In Moon sound—lying between Moon island and the Esteohnia coast. Immediately seeing their advantage the Germans, according to the latest German official communication began Intensive operations against Moon isl­ and, hammering its eastern shore bat­ teries until they were silenced and al­ so attacking the Russian guns on the mainland, putting them out of action. Moon island was captured! and the Russians took refuge inside Moon sound. Thereupon the Germans threw war­ ships to the. eastern part of Kassar bay, lying to the north of Moon Isl­ and, apparently closing the passage to the south in the Gulf of Riga. Already the Germans have attempt­ ed to attack from the north into Moon sound, but the Russian guns have held them back succssfully. Among the German warships attacking the old line vessels of the Russian fleet were at least two dreadnoughts of the Gros­ ser Kurfuerst type—vessels displacing 25,000 tons, as against 13,516 tons for the Slava. A majority of the crew of the Slava was saved by Russian tor­ pedo boats when the vessel took its final plung. Warship to Be Damaged.—Expect j Naval Battle In Baltic. j Although American torpedoboat de­ stroyers have covered nearly a million miles since the United States entered the war, crossing the ocean, convoy­ ing vessels and chasing submarines, only recently has a German submar­ ine succeeded in damaging one of them. The attack occurred somewhere within the war zone, but, though the destroyer was badly damaged, she was able to make port.

This is the first public school to sub­ scribe for a bond.

The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, a negro indus­ trial organization has just announced the purchase of $20,000 worth of Lib­ erty loan bonds, both “as an invest­ ment and an expression of the faith” of the negro race in the government. The association subscribed $5,000 to the first Liberty loan. The Rocky Mount Red Cross chapter» and its auxiliaries now have a mem­ bership of over one thousand. This shows the result of some wonderful work, as the chapter was chartered only four months ago.

UNION MEMORIAL AT _ .VICKSBURG DEDICATED Organized Propaganda In AU Parts of the Country. Washington.—Pro-German agents in the United States, accordng to reports to the treasury department, have di­ rected their energies toward defeating the Liberty Loan. Their organized propaganda has borne fruit, from Min­ nesota to Texas, it is asserted, In scat­ tered localities where weak efforts have been made not openly, but by in­ direct methods to discurage subscript tions. The work of the proGerman agents officials assert, has been carried on for more than two weeks. Some of the workers have had. the temerity the reports indicate, to conduct ther oper­ ations here in the national capital. Official recognition of the propa­ ganda against the loan was voiced to­ day by Colonel Herebert M. Lord, rep­ resenting the war department, at the war risk insurance conference at which the details of the new sailors' and soldiers’ insurance law are being explained to offcers and enlisted men from the various cantonments. “There has been an organized ef­ fort,” said Colonel Lora, who was ChgimnaTi of the meeting, “to discour­ age and defeat the loan.” This effort he added, has been made by “seeking to misrepresent the pa­ triotism of the new national army." An offical account of the proceedings of the conference, which was behind closed doors, issued by the treasury department, reads as follows: Convincing Refutation. “In convincing refutation of the slander,' which was to the effect that the men of the new nafoinal army op­ posed the war, Colonel Lord announc­ ed that subscriptions from the army for the loan already aggregate $26,000,000 and that some of the subscriptions were written in foreign languages. “The announcement caused great enthusiasm among the delegates from the army and navy, marine corps and coast guard (attending the conference) 600 of whom swarmed up to the plat­ form following the address and sign­ ed war insurance applications, all of which, except forty, were for the max­ imum of $10,000.”Assembled from various sources the efforts of workers against the loan appear to have been directed along four main channels:Efforts to prevent certain banks from handling the bonds.The publication, in certain newspa­ pers and other mediums of publicity, of editorials and articles which while not directly opposing loan subscriptions, tend to discourage buyers. < The preventon, so far as local and sporadic efforts can prevent, of the placing of Liberty *an posters and advertising literature where it will be most beneficial., the north of -Oesel island, while the had Jleen expended by the chapter and Russians themselves lost a torpedo- boat destroyer. The German vessels, which were accompanied by a battle­ ship, put to sea after the engagement. Th© German Uuid forces now are driving hard against the Svori) penin­ sula, on the southwest portion of the island of Oesel^ with the object of capturing the batteries at Serel, which dominate the eastern entrance to the Gulf of Riga. Acoordng to the Ber­ lin war office, the Russians in this region are isolated, but are desper­ ately resisting. Berlin reports also that Ahro isl­ and off the southern coast of Oesel and" Runo island, in the middle of the Gulf of Riga, have been occupied by Teutonic troops. It is asserted that 2,400 prisoners, 30 guns, 21 machine the auxiliaries in making supplies for the sbidiers and sailors. J. A. Robinson, widely identified as “Old Hurrygraph” and Durham’s be­ loved newspaper man, has returned from Hendersonville anil’ the mourn tainous country of western North Car- olina.

The first canload of express over forwarded from ReidsviUe was sent by the American Tobhcco Company to Baltimore. It was a shipment of 46,-- 000 tins used for stamping brands on tobacco plugs. They are being rushed to a stamping factory to have changes guns and several airplanes were cap- made Jn them by reason of the changes tured by the Germans in Oesel. The troops of the entente aUies are still keeping to their trenches in Flanders, probably awaiting a better­ ment of soil conditions, which the re­ cent rains 'and flooded streams render­ ed almost impassable for attacks. EASTERN STATES ARE FACING SUGAR SHORTAGE Food Administration Appeals to People to Cut Down Consumption of Candy and Other Sweets, Washington. — The eastern states face a sugar shortage, with no pros­ pect of relief before late in November when the new Hawaiian and western beet crops arrive. In a statement forecasting the shortage, the food ad­ ministration again, appealed to the American people to - cut down their consumption of candy and sweet drinks, and at the same time gave 'warning that retailers already have re- ceved'their stocks at prices recently agreed upon and the public should pay no more during the temporary scar­ city in the east than it has been paying during the past 30 days. The shortage is due, the administra­ tion says to the failure of the public outside oi a few loyal homes to reduce consumption, and to unusual exports in the internal revenue taxes. The express charges on the oar was $640. Nonth Carolina’s largest banking in­ stitution, the Wachovia Bank & Trust Company, subscribed for its own ac­ count a quarter-of a million in Uberty Loan bonds, this subscription being in addition to the individual subscription, evidences its belief that every bank should rally to the support of the government by not only selling bonds to its customers but subscribing lib­ erally for itself as a patriotic duty.

HOLLIS CONSENTS TO TAKE CHARGE OF SHIP AND CON­ TINUE VOYAGE—BASCOM AND M’CANN ARE DEADLY ENEMIES—DISSATISFACTION DEVELOPS. Synopsis—Robert Hollis, who tells the story, is a guest on Girard Carrington’s yacht, Esmeralda. It is supposed to be a “stag” party, and Hollis is surprised on discovering a woman, who evidently wishes to remain unknown aboard. She merely tells him her name is Vera. .Carrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that he is engineering a copper pool. The yacht Is sunk in a collision and "Hollis saves McCann, millionaire, and one of the party. Hollis and Mc­ Cann rescue Vera and leave the ship in a small boat. McCann refuses to submit to the authority of Hollis, and the latter enforces obedience. The castaways are sighted by a ship, the Indian Chief, which takes them aboard. The vessel is badly storm damaged. All officers are dead. Bascom, the owner, says he is taking a cargo of ammunition to Germany. CHAPTER X. We Accept Adventure. .As I emerged from behind the butt of the mizzenmast, the only person vis­ ible was a long-legged cabin boy in­ dustriously rubbing away at a grease spot on the deck, He was not aware of my presence until I spoke, when he gazed up at me across, his shoulder, With seeming little intelligence in his dull eyes. “Do you know which of these state­ rooms the lady was giyen?” "Oh, yes, sir; over there; I just took her In a needle an’ some thread.” “All right—what Is your name?” "Joe—Joe Moon, sir.” I crossed over and rapped at the stateroom door, which hud a figure “5” stenciled on the upper panel. “Who is there?” she asked. “This is Hollis; could you spare me a few moments?” “Certainly; I will come out directly,” she laughed, “I have been doing some emergency mending.” I picked out a chair and sat down. A moment later the door of No. 5 opened, and the girl greeted me pleas­ antly, crossing the cabin swiftly, and extending her hand, as I arose to my feet “I feel actually born anew, Mr. Hol­ lis,” she exclaimed. “I am almost iifrald I was losing my nerve in that little boat. Where is this steanper .bound?” “That is what I called upon you Io discuss. Sit down here, and I will give you the whole story. The captain and both mates are dead; the fellow on deck in charge when we came on board was the chief engineer. The owner of boat and cargo, however, is here; I have just been talking with him In the cabin yonder. He is in poor health and crippled in one limb.” “What is his name?” “Foolishly I forgot to ask, and Mas­ ters—that is the name of the engi­ neer—neglected to mention it when he Introduced us. However, that makes no difference in the facts. FU tell you the story, as briefly as I can.” She listened intently, leaning for­ ward in her chair, her rlngless bands clasped, her eyes on my face. The Her Eyes Were Shining, and Her Hand Reached Forth, Unconsciously, and Rested In Mine. simple story seemed to thrill her, breathing as it did the mystery and romance of the sea. “And that, Miss Vera,” I said at last, “Is the present situation. It is for you to furnish the final solution.” “For me! You tell me all this merely to leave the decision with me?” ‘•Yes ; I shall do nothing against your expressed wish.” "Why—but what would you do, if „you were here alone?” “That would be entirely different. I have no family, no near relatives liv­ ing; not even any special friepds to mourn greatly over my demise. I might willingly -risk my life In such an adventure, and think little of it. I know the sea and its perils, and snch a game as this is likely to have its attractions. ” “You—you consider the attempt very dangerous?” “Of capture, and possible imprison­ ment—yes. Probably our lives, will not be in any special peril. We have no arms with which to resist. If once overhauled, a prize crew would be put on board, and we would be taken to the nearest British or French port, as pris­ oners of war. Our cargo, destined for the German government, would be.®m- ply sufficient to condemn us. Undor the circumstances, our own country would make no effort to protect us. I should not mind, but I cannot expose you to hardship and possible impris­ onment.” Her eyes were shining, and her hand reached forth, unconsciously, and rest­ ed on mine. “How long would it require?” “Weeks, probably; I should choose the more northern route, around Scot­ land, and then skirt the Norway coast through the North sea.” "To place me on some other vessel at sea would spoil your plan, Mr. Hol­ lis?” “It would render our chances of suc­ cess much less. The only possibility would be the meeting of some Ameri­ can ship, homeward bound, whose cap­ tain would promise to make no report. Such a one might be hard to find, espe­ cially if he suspected we were endeav­ oring to carry munitions of war to Ger­ many.” “Do you believe the Germans are right In this war—that you ought to aid them?” “I cannot answer that,” I answered honestly enough, “for I do not fully understand the conditions. To be per­ fectly frank, however, my sympathies are with England and France. In this case I am not considering either side, but the poor devil who owns this ship and cargo. What we carry on board here will not be a drop in the bucket, but its loss will spell ruin to him, and that is the thought which in­ fluences me.” “And I could not even dispatch a message—wireless?” “The Indian Chief has no equipment. No, Miss Vera, we shall be absolutely lost to the world until we are either captured, or safe in some German port. I would not deceive you—the project is both a desperate and a dangerous one.” The girl remained silent, her eyes lowered to the deck. I had said all possible, determined as I w.as not to ,influence her decision. As she did not speak, or change her attitude, I arose and walked across the cabin to Wjiere I could look out forward. ' "Mr. Hollis.” “Yes.” I turned. “I must decide this? You mean to leave it ay to me?” “There is no other way.” “But I do not know -what to say. I thought at first I could answer yes, gladly. I am not afraid, not the least bit afraid; and if I could only get some word back to my people in New York that I am safe,' I would almost welcome the adventure. I am only a girl, you know, and I—I like such things. But they wilt worry horribly, for they have no knowledge of where I am. No one knows. I—I have simply disappeared, and papa will have detectives hunt­ ing for me, and will have to tell mother. They will imagine all sorts of horrid things. And you say it may be weeks, or even months, before I could get a message to America?” 4T am afraid so, Miss Vera; I wished you to understand the exact truth.” “Oh I I do not think that would be right—do you?” “I thought you might feel that way, and so made no pledge before telling you the story. Of course, I knew noth­ ing of how you were situated; or un­ der what circumstances you had left home.” "I stole away unknown to anyone; It was just a lark, a fooHsh joke. No one knows where I am. If Tcould only send them word I” I touched the bent head gently with -my hand. * • “Do not worry,” I said kindly. 44We will give the scheme up entirely, and head toward the nearest' American port. Perhaps luck may favor us, and If we meet an American’ ship, we can transship you, and then take a chance, knowing that you are safely homeward bound." “But I understood you to say that that would only increase your peril.” . 4Tt might, and it might not. At least I will hot consent to have you impli­ cated In the affair anyfurther than you are now. I will not sacrifice yon to help our friend yonder save his for­ tune. I’n give him my answer now.” I took a step aft, but paused sudden­ ly, for the door of the owner’s cabin opened, and he came limping forth, resting heavily on a cane, his white face clearly revealed in the glare of the skylight. I stepped back beside the girl, who, aroused by my sudden move­ ment, glanced up and saw him. Almost instantly she was upon her feet, hesi­ tated an instant as though perplexed at the man’s appearance; then ad­ vanced and met him. “Mr. Bascom,” she exclaimed, “can this Indeed be you?” “You speak my name, certainly,” he replied, but. gazing into her face seem­ ingly without recognition. “Yet I do not recall—” "Oh, yes, you do; surely you must,” she interrupted. "Why, you have changed more than I. Do you not re­ member the moonlight nights at Palm Beach? The fishing parties along the coast?” “Vera!” he cried, a note of delight in his voice. “Of course I remember; but you have become a woman, the very last person In the world I expect­ ed to see. And so you are the lady we were fortunate enough to rescue. Mr. Hollis never even mentioned your name.” “There was no reason why I should,” I said, “having no thought of your pre­ vious acquaintance. The young lady and I have just been discussing the sit­ uation—” “Walt just a moment, Mr. Hollis,” she interrupted, her eyes still on Bas- com’s face. “This discovery changes everything. Mr. Bascom is' an old friend.” “So I judge; but I do not intend to let that influence your decision.” “But it will, and does!” a certain Impetuous appeal in her voice. “I did not understand before, as I do now. You are the owner, Mr. Bascom? This is your boat and cargo?” “Yes, Vera; things have not gone well with me of late, and my entire for­ tune is here,” he answered rather bit­ terly. “I am sorry; I had not heard. You have been terribly ill, from your looks, and are lame. It—it was that affair in New York, from which you never recovered?” 4T was In the hospital for months, and scarcely hoped to live. That was when my business went to smash.” “Father never told me; and your mother?” 44Is living in Philadelphia, but in rather straitened circumstances, and iU; my younger brother has been com­ pelled to leave school and seek employ­ ment.” He smiled weakly. “I had hoped this voyage would set us all on our feet again.” She released her hand from his grasp, and sank down once more Into the chair, her glance leaving his face, and seeking mine. 44Mr. Hollis,” she said, almost defi­ antly^ 4Tt is my wish that the Indian Chief continue its voyage.” 44But I cannot consent—” 44You left this decfelon to me. Well, I make that decision. My comfort, even the momentary fear which my family may feel over my strange disap­ pearance, could never justify my re­ fusal. I know this gentleman, and have m'et his mother; we were good friends. He shaU not be ruined through any whim , of a girl. I urge you to go ahead, not considering me in the least.” 44I cannot quite understand so sud­ den a change.” 44Perhaps you do not understand women,” she said, and smiled. “Surely you recall who Mr. Bascom is?” 44Not in the remotest degree." 44But we spoke of him In the boat— Philip Bascom.” My eyes widened, and I caught my breath. “Good heavens! yes; now I recall the affair. He is the man Fergus Mc­ Cann shot in the hotel restaurant. That was the accident he speaks of. Why, this is strange enough to be fiction.” Bascom stood, leaning on his cane, looking at us, as though falling to com­ prehend what It was we were talking about. Possibly he did not catch our words clearly, for his white face ap­ peared puzzled. 44You speak of me?” he asked, “of my difficulty with McCann?” She looked up at him earnestly. 44Yes; it is very strange. You should know the truth. There were three of us who' escaped together when the yacht sank; Mr. Hollis, myself and— Fergus McCann.” Bascom straightened, his lipspressed tight 44He is here how; a guest on board my ship?" 44Yes; I do not know where—sleeping in one of the staterooms, probably. I have not seen him since I came over the side.” Bascoro’s expression was one of straggle, as he stared into our faces. It was'difficult for him to find words; to even control his mind. 44This—this is a misfortune,” he said finally. ,44I do not know bow it will end. I have sought to avoid the man. JJiss Vera, do you know the truth of that affair? not the newspaper story, but the facts?” She shook her head. “I only heard that the trouble oc­ curred over Myra Bradley. McCann found you together, and shot you in a fit of jealous rage.” 44So far the story was true; but I was not at the restaurant with Miss Bradley. I had never, but once before, even spoken to her. She called me to her table that evening, where she was dining alone; to question me re­ garding some mutual friends in Phila­ delphia. Our brief conversation was most commonplace. McCann shot me without warning; I did not even know he was near until the woman screamed.” “But,” I said, as he paused, “was there no trial? That was not the news­ paper' story.” 44I know it,” bitterly, “and I have only my word to give you. I could not defend myself, and no one else made any effort to do’ so. McCann had money .and influence; I was lying un­ conscious in a hospital. The girl was shipped off to Burope; a waiter swore that I drew a revolver, which he after­ wards picked up on the floor; the po­ lice exonerated McCann on the ground of self-defense, and the case never came to trial.” I held out my hand. 44Having had some experience lately with McCann,” I said heartily, 44I am perfectly ready to accept your version. His being on board is awkward and unpleasant, but we must put up with it as best -we can. Is this your thought, Mr. Bascom?” He did not answer at once; not until she looked up questioningly. 44There is nothing else possible,” he said at last, but as though the admis­ sion hurt. 44My nature is not revenge­ ful, although I certainly have no feel ing of kindness toward this man. Howr ever, this is my ship, and he is my guest; as long as he remains on board, I shall treat him as I would any other under Iikb circumstances.” “I knew you would say that,” the girl exclaimed., “Now everything is all right, Mr. Hollis?” _ 44As nearly so as we can make it," I answered, assuming an ease I’was far from feeling. 44Your decision, is that we continue the voyage—to Germany?” 44To wherever Mr. Bascom desires to go.” 44Very well. And you appoint me captain, delegating to me full author ity?” “I do, with pleasure.” I held out my band, surprised to note the strong grip of the slender, white fingers responding to my clasp. “The.matter is settled then, let the result prove what it may. It Is already growing dusk; I will go on deck and assume command.” CHAPTER XI. I Select My Officers. The die was cast. However the strange adventure might eventually end,.whatever peril lurked ahead of us, it was now too late for regret. The full responsibility I had assumed al­ most overwhelmed me as I first emerged upon deck, but there came to me also a spirit of recklessness, which brought a laugh to my lips and a shrug to my shoulders. Why should I care? It w^s her choice, not mine. A moment I lingered at the port rail, staring out Into the smother o ' the coming dusk, wondering how it would all end, before I climbed the ladder to the poop deck. The negro was at the wheel, while Masters stood aft gazing astern. He was not aware of my presence until I spoke sharply. 44Mr. Masters.” 44Aye, aye, sir.” 44I have agreed to take command of the vessel for the remainder of the voy­ age,” I said quietly, “and would have a word with the crew.” 44The remainder of the voyage, sir?" 44Yes; the vessel has suffered no se­ rious damage, and there are surely seamen on board to serve as watch offi­ cers.” “The bosun is a good man, sir.” 44What is his name?” 44LeayortL." 44Very well; have the men piped aft.” 44All hands, sir?" 44Certainly, Mr. Masters. They have had rest enough, I imagine, the past few days. Now they are in for a spell of work.” I was not altogether pleased with the engineer’s manner, a vague suspi­ cion coming into my mind that he also rather preferred a return to Baltimore, and that the crew might desire the same decision. As I went forward to the rail I noticed that both Vera and Bascom had' come up as far as the head of the companion, and now stood there In the shadow, .where they could both see and hear. McCann, however, did not appear, and was probably asleep below, or still doctoring his dis­ colored optic. I had just a moment to observe these things before the men began to appear aft the mainmast, anid form In a straggly line across the deck. They were indeed a rough-looking lot, even for a freighter’s crew, plainly showing the effects of prolonged de­ bauches ashore, with several among- them still manifestly under the influ­ ence of liquor. The re-establishment of sea discipline on board was evi­ dently to be my first task, and my teeth clenched tightly as my eyes swept their faces. . 0 “Come farther aft, men,” I ordered sternly. “Bosun, bring them closer in, where they can hear what I say—ay I that's more Uke it.” I stared down into the upturned faces, noting, It seemed to me, charac­ teristics of every race on earth, and realizing that here before me was grouped the scum of the seven seas. "Men,” I began, gripping the rail and speaking swiftly, “my name is Hollis, and I held command in the old Atlas line The owner of this vessel and cargo—Mr. Philip Bascom—has just done me Oie honor of appointing me as captain for the remainder of the voy­ age.”The fellows remained silent, except for the restless shuffling of their feet on the deck.“And what Is the vlge to be, mister? suddenly asked a hoarse voice back In the group.

"We have had enough of this, lads,” I said sternly, staring straight down into their faces. “I don’t know who among you are doing all of this talk­ ing, but I’ll answer you this: I am cap­ tain of the Indian Chief, and if any of you want to try out whether ty can handle my crew or not, go to it Bosun, come here.” The man named separated himself from the others, and slowly climbed the ladder. He was a big, muscular fellow, with red hair, clipped close to his head, and intelligent blue eyes. 44Your name is Leayord?” 44Aye, aye, sir.” 44This is your first voyage., on the Indian Chief?” 44No, sir; my third.”. 44Very good, Mr. Leayord; from now on you will mess aft, and rank as first mate, serving watch and watch with me. Is there a man forward capable of filling the second mate’s berth?” He ran his eyes over the group be­ low rather doubtfully. “Olson might, sir,” he answered finally. 44He is sober, and a good sea­ man.”. 44Step forward, Olson.” The mass of men parted slightly, and a man was pushed -to the front. He possessed a strongly marked Swedish face, smooth shaven and almost boyish. 14How old are yop, Olson?” “Twenty-eight, sir.” 44You know the sen?” 44Twelve years In the. fo’gpstle, sir.” 44AU right; I’m going to give you a chance to make good as second officer, Mr. Olson. Now, lads, that’s all for the present. I take it you are sailor- men, and know what that sky means. The chances are ten to one we’ll have a storm before midnight, and we’ll meet it better with clear decks. Get forward, all hands, and clear away that riffle—lively now.” They were, a, bit slow about it, grum­ bling among themselves. Olson spoke once or twice, although I could not hear exactly what was said, and the. power of sea discipline finally con­ quered. "Within ten minutes they were working cheerfully enough, and Lea­ yord had .ceased his gruff ordering, and stood silent beside the lee rail. It pleased me to observe that Olson took hold along with the others, and did his full share of the work. I leaned far­ ther over to gain view of the cabin en­ trance, but Bascom had disappeared. The girl, however, held her place, and glanced dp, her eyes meeting mina, “Gould I come up there, Mt. Hol­ lis?” she questioned. 44Certainly; as a passenger this deck is free for your use. Take the star­ board ladder.” I gave her my band, and helped her to grasp the rail. She glanced about into the mist. 44How gray and somber it is,” she said soberly. “The fog is almost Uke a hand clutching at you.” for Lameness Keep a bottle of Yager’s Liniment in your stable for spavin, curb, splint or any enlargement, for shoulder slip ors weeny, wounds, galls, scratches, collar or shoeboils, 6prains and any lameness.

CULTURAL BOARD HOW TO OBSERVE THRIFT MONTH. DISPATCHES FHOM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. “I have called upon the farmers to observe Thrift Month,” and I know of no better way for them to do so than' by purchasing Liberty bonds," said Governor Bickett in oa letter to the members of the State Board of Agri­ culture, calling upon them to urge, in turn, the farmers of the State to back the campaign for the sale of $27,- tiOO.OCO bonds in North Carolina. •‘It is neither right to expect nor safe to permit the few to buy all these bonds.” Governor Bickett said in ais letter ,emphasizing the fact that the State is facing a stupendous task, but not expressing anything in the way of pessimism over the outcome.' The governor’s letter follows: 'The people of North Carolina have been called upon by the Federal gov­ ernment to invest $27,000,000 in Lib­ erty bonds, this being the State’s pro­ portion of the second three billion dollar issue. If our people fail to pur­ chase these bonds promptly it will mean that. North Carolina Is not do­ ing her part to heln win this war— that she is either wilfully or carelessly failing to carry her share of the bur­ den the war imposes upon the vari­ ous States. Mv faith in their patri­ otism and loyalty refuses to permit me to entertain for one moment any doubt of the willingness of our citi­ zens to rise to this emergency if the matter is properly presented to them. "However, it is no small task to sell $27,000,000 worth of government bonds, and if the States proportion is to be taken care of, every citizen must do his part. It is neither fight to expect nor safe to permit the few to buy all of these bonds. Urge Farmers to Buy. "I therefore earnestly request you. as a member of the State Board of Agriculture, to bring this matter to (he attention of the farmers of North Carolina, and use all your influence to the end that every one of them buy at least one Liberty bond. The percen­ tage of increase in the prices of the farmer's products as a result of-this war is greater perhaps than that of any other class of our citizens. The average farmer is in better position to­ day than ever before to make a safe and profitable investment such as this. Is Patriotic Duty. "Moreover, it is the farmers’ patri­ otic duty to buy a bond. I know of no better way by which he can serve his country in this crisis.. If we are to fight this war to a successful finish these bonds must be sold. In the pros­ ecution of this war money is just as necessary as men and munitions. “The offer of these bonds gives the farmer a magnificent opportunity to lake stock in his government. If he is wise he will be eager to grasp this opportunity, for by so doing he will help to insure for himself and his chil­ dren a continuation of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Bond Buyer Receives Also. "Please do all in your power to bring these facts home to the farmers of North Carolina. Let them know that the bond buyer receives as well as gives. He not only comes to the aid of the government, but he also makes a good interest bearing investment. The bond he receives is the safest se­ curity in the world.’ because the prom- re to pay is backed by the faith and honor of the United States, the richest 'iation in the world. The government of the United States has never failed fO pay its bonds when due, and never will fail. The great corporations and rich individuals, seeing the advantage of so good an investment and respond­ ing to the patriotic impulse are invest- mg billions in war bonds. Will the farmers of North Carolina »e less patriotic? Will they, let this opportunity to serve and to save pass by unheeded? I have called upon the farmers to observe Thrift Month, and I know of no better way for them to do so than 'y Purchasing Liberty bonds. I want, , refOre. again to urge you to co-oper- < e fcearIily and effectively with the eL Auberty Loan Committee to the nna that every farmer that is able to u !° fcnys at least one $50 Liberty Yours very truly, "T.

It is estimated that as many as 100 teachers couid be placed within two hours if they were only available.

When he had completed, Governor Bickett called attention to the non­ partisan attitude of all political par­ ties toward the conduct of the war, and Mr. Carl Duncan, one of the prominent Republican leaders, In North Carolina, was presented. Mr. Duncan said, in the beginning, that he couid not make a speech, but he brought the sheriffs to a solid round of applause when lie told them how, when he gave up his sen to join tho colors he felt that he w a^ ready to retire, but that when he said good­ bye he resolved to work harder than ever.

Young Stewart was taken from his cradle shortly after he was born and 'placed In a public home by Ws father. BQs mother was ill at the time, and when she recovered she could find no trace of her baby. As the boy grew older he learned the story of his early childhood and started a search for his mother. The search was conducted from the office of the Juvenile court here under the direction of William Spencer. Stewart brought his story to Spencer Double the Number Required in New York Banks, but They Are More Methodical. There is at present uo woman ofll-! eer of a New York city bank, and only j one in New Jersey, but if the war | lasts long enough it may well be, as ; It is in Canada now, that the banks 1 will virtually be run by women. Al­ ready, it is estimated, 20,000 women have been taken on In the Wall street district since the United States en­ tered the war last April, says the New York Evening Post. Women are slower, but more care­ ful, said an official of the Mechanics and Metals bank, so, although twice as many women as men are needed to do the same amount of wprk, the bank loses no money on extra salaries, because the women save hundreds of dollars which had to be paid to the clearing house for the men’s mistakes. Bacli mistake costs $1 and the records show that sometimes men’s mistakes cost .$25 or $30 a week. '■ The average downtown bank has lost 20 per cent of its men and taken on 40 per cent women. The Mechan­ ics and Metals bank now has 60 women and they are being taken on by tens or twenties each week. So far these 60 women are taking the places of only 36 men, which shows the difference in rapidity, but the offi­ cial of the bank pointed out that it would be a serious problem when the men came home for their jobs. "Our hope is," he said, “that the business will be big enough then to accommodate them all.” WOMEN OFFERERS NEED SWAMP* Thousands upon thousands of women liave kidney and Bladder trouble -and never suspect it.

Something was the matter with the stop-signal bell of the Toonerville trol­ ley car, and the conductor had to whistle to the inotorman, that trip— one whistle to start, two whistles to go ahead. This wasn't the real Toonerville trolley, blit a certain suburban “dummy line” which is so denominated by the facetious car riders. At one place, the other morning, the car made a long stop, and some of the passengers began to get uneasy. One sought the rear platform and found the conductor eating a frugal lunch­ eon. “Say. how long we goin’ to stand here? Wlmt are we waitin’ for?" asked the passenger. The conductor swallowed hard and was understood to reply: ' “Lookjvliere, I ain’t got nothin’ but dry crackers fer my luncli.

Pendleton, Ore.—Sheriff Bud Ed­ wards of Carroll county, Va., who was a figure In the famous Allen tragedy, which was a nation-wide sensation a few years ago, has arrived in Pendle­ ton to take into custody Logan Vernon, alias J. R. Rash, wanted in Virginia for a murder committed 11 years ago. Rash had successfully eluded pursuit since the crime was committed until he was arrested here. Edwards' bears a bullet scar from the memorable courtroom battle in which a judge, sheriff and prosecuting attorney and two jurors were killed by Floyd and Sidney Alien and four friends after Allen had been sentenced to the penitentiary for interfering with an officer. Edwards is said to be the one who killed Floyd Allen. War Declared on Rats by U. S. Gov’t. The government at W ashington is pre­paring a campaign that should be effec­ tive in killing the rats that are so destruc­ tive both to lives and property. A con­servative estimate places the loss of food­stuffs from rats at over two hundred'mil- lion dollars annually, and in tlie present scarcity of food, this loss must be pre­vented. The most efficient way to "Kill the E at” is by the use of Stearns’ Paste, and thousands of dollars worth have been bought by the government. Every house­ keeper troubled with rats, mice, roaches or waterbugs should buy a small box of this reliable exterm inator for thirty-five cents, and stop further loss of food in her home. Adv. DESTROYER QF THE FRONTIER Aircraft Promises Such Syifift and Easy Transportation That Peoples Will Not Be Rooted in Soil. If you went In the ordinary way from the Italian city Turin to Eng­ land, you ,would change trains three times, cross the channel by boat, force yourself to be patient while locomo­ tives coaled and took on water, pas­ sengers embarked or alighted along the railway, and customs’ officers went through their fussy examinations. A proper allowance of time, we would say, would be 36 hours. Tiie other day, Captain Lauriat of the Italian aviation corps made the journey by airplane in 12 hours and two minutes. For him, there was no such thing as frontiers, no deiays ex­ cept those he himself willed, no offi­ cials' in . seedy uniforms to make a mess of his baggage unless lie elected to let them. It Is the idea of internationalists that we’ll have a world state when everything is so mixed that there is no straightening it-out by national command, when borders can be crossed as one would county lines, when transportation is so swift and easy that no peoples can be or will desire to be rooted in the soil.

Klotz1 decided to impose a tax of two francs, or 40 cents American money, on each cigar lighter used in that country. The rea­ son for this is that the sale of matches iu France is in the hands of tlie gov­ ernment monopoly and tin- portable lighters interfered with tlie sale of the matches. On the other hand the matches have become so bad in QUulity that they are subject of complaint and ridicule. The law has become unpopu­ lar and there is an effort now being made to have the order rescinded. Not­ withstanding tlie fact that an in­ creased tax was placed on tobacco by the French government several years ago, it has caused a tendency to In­ crease smoking and that Is proven by the many smokers to be seen In public places and thoroughfares.

Undoubtedly the element of mystery in both figure and setting has to do with its fame; but I prefer to think that in this memorial the sculptor, has ex­ pressed (using his own words to me) ‘the soul face to face with tlie great­ est of all mysteries’—the problem, If a man die shall he live again?” Such a piece of sculpture, touching every mind und heart, outwears in its appeal all the colossal figures and speaking likenesses.

Depere, Wis.—Lawrence Kidney, the four-year-old son of William Kidney, a West Depere boat builder, rescued Robert Van Gemert, two years old, from drowning. The two boys, togeth­ er with Lawrence’s younger brother, were playing when Robert fell into an old deep well. AVhen he screamed the younger Kid­ ney boy said, “Let’s run home and tell mamma he’s drowning,” but Lawrence reproved by saying that “he’ll be all drowned then.” He caught the drown­ ing child by the hand, after hanging down the slippery sides of the well, and pulled him to safety—just muddy and wet, that’s all.

The Bee Hive was the name of a paper which was published in France. It was owned by German interests but there was hot a. line in it that was objectionable to the French, not a word that could give t aid or comfort to Germany. Not­ withstanding the strict ,neutrality of the paper all the German. and German sympathizers took it. It was not much ofa paper, very little of news matter worth while being in it and its editorials were ex tremely commonplace, but the Ger mans were most eager to get it It took;; an American detective to find out why the piper was bo popular with the Germans. At the top of the fro n t page of The Bee Hive there was a picture ol a bee hive with bees swarming*about if. Thapicture of those bees, their location arohnd the hive, told the ones who were on to the ways of it just where the allied armies were located. It was a sharp shrewd trick, but it-was a sharp shrewd American who: got on to it and The BeeHive busted and its.editors and publishers were landed in jail.— Ilorroe Journal.

ManyrUiotbers are making mat­ ters much worse by weeping day in and day-out about their_ sons. War is bad enough without ad­ ding any extra sorrow before any­ thing has actually happened. Anna Steese Eichardeon quotes in' the October Woman’s Home Companion from a letter written toiler. Thewriter of, the let er saj*: •‘Like most mothers who have gi­ ven sons to their country, I go out wl ea I can to divert, my thoughts. Aud what do I heart A friend inquires whether I have- beard troui my boy and adds, -Well, I never expected to.see' the time that I would be glad my three chil­ dren are girls, but I am now.’ My next hostess comments on the sad­ ness of our finest young men sacri ficed? “ At- prayermeefiug the leader, in the voice usually reserved for funerals, spoke of our boys at the front, and was followed by another speaker who solemnly announced the wellauthenticated rumor that our boys are taking their coffins with , them to France!' Next a womau related with harrowiDg. de tails how. her father went to tbe civil war, never to returu, ofteu stoppingtoregain her self-control, And tbemeetingclosed with the most- melancholy hymn in the book. I feel as if I never want to go to prayer-meeting again.” It is thought that congress will gtt through with the war revenue bill, before the war closes. Some time ago it was announced that Josephus Daniels.. Jr., bad entered the Marine Corps and people' naturally pictured him doing service, “Somewhere on the Atlantic.” The picture was some­ what spoiled by a news item tell ing of an automobile accident in the city of Washington, wit,Ii young Daniels as a Victim.—TJuion Re­ publican.

The Bees And The Hive. The Bee Hive was the name of a paper which was published in France. It was owned by German interests but there was not a line in it that was objectionable to the French, not a word that could give aid or comfort to Germany. Not- uitbstandiog the strict .neutrality of the paper all the German. and German sympathizers took it. It was not much ofa paper, very little of news matter worth while beiog in it and its editorials were ex tremely commonplace, but the Ger mans were most eager to get it. It took. an Americau detective to find out why the paper was so popular with the- Germans. At the top of the front page of Tbe Bee Hive there was a picture of a bee hive with bees swarming* about if. The- picture of those bees, their location around the hive, told the ones who were on to the ways of ii juBt where the allied armies were located. It was a sharp shrewd trick, but it was a sharp shrewd American who: got on to it and The BeeHive busted and its editors and publishers were landed in jail.— Monroe Journal. And Villa Still LiveA After being shot to pieces sev. eral dozen times; after having been captured .and drawn and quar tered at least twenty times; after having the great expeditionary force of Pershing chase through Mexico until everybody got tired, Villa comes again to the front and declares himself Dictator of the dis trict surrounding llosario. He fixed taxes, seized quantities Cf supplies and distributed them a- mong the p6oi-. lt iooks like Villa was getting ready to Tun for the Presidency on the ‘‘people’s” plat­ form. Great old Villa, with more lives than the cat which lives nine times and then some.—Fairbio I her’s Everyt Hfngi;-;:' Don’t Cry Aboat- the War. Manymotbers are making mat­ ters much worse by weeping day in and day out about their sons. War is had enough without ad­ ding any extra sorrow before any thing has actually happened. Anna Steese Richardeon quotes in the Octob.er Woman1B Home Companion from a letter written to her. The writer of. the let er say: •‘Like most mothers who have gi­ ven sons to their country, I go out wl en I can to divert, my thoughts. Aud what do I hear? A friend inquires whether I have, beard from my boy and adds, -Well, I ueverexpected to see the time that I would be glad my three chil­ dren are girls, but I am now.’ My next hostess comments on the sad­ ness of our finest young men sacri ficed? “ At prayermeeting the leader, in the voice usually reserved for funerals, spoke of our boys at the front, and was followed by another speaker who solemnly announced the wellanthenticated rumor that our boys are taking their coffins with them to France! Next a woman related with harrowiDg.de I rails how her father weut to the civil war, never to return, often stopping to regain her self-control, And themeetingclosed with the most-' melancholy hymn in the book. I feel as if I never want to go to prayer-meeting again.” Ct is thought that congress will get] through with the war revenue bill, | before the war closes. Some time ago it was announced that Josephus Daniels. Jr., had entered the Marine Corps aud j people naturally pictured him doing service, “Somewhere on the Atlantic.” The picture was some­ what spoiled by a news' item tell ing of an automobile accident in the city of Washington, with youug Daniels as a victim—Union Re­ publican.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER SI. 1917.NUMBER 16 WHO ARE CHRIST'S NOBODlES. A Big Sermon Straight From The ShouL der. —Read And Take Heed. Greensboro News. Woe unto yon that are rich., that are full..that langh..when men speak well of yon. St. Luke 24:26. The lamentationa of Jeana are the perfect counterpart of Hia bea­ titudes. HiB kingdom ; of right- eoasness and peace and joy ia made up oi the poor in spirit, of mourn­ ers, of meek, the hnngry and thirs- tv, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers and the perse­ cuted. Tbe cynic has found infinite play for his mind in this imposing lost of the world’s most miserable men. So paradoxical ia the truth in them that the hymn writers and the preacher-featB have not always been able to make the practice oi Tirtue in this world anything high­ er than a shrewd speculation: for whosoever followed1 theee solemn, sincere, weeping and wailing rhy­ mes, although he might be exceed­ ingly unhappy in this life, was assured that he would with great certainty be rewarded in the next. But Jesus not only declares these the happiest of men; he esteems as the most unfortunate creatures of earth, the rich, the self-satisfied, the merry and the popular. See how he regards them: “But woe unto you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you, ye that laugh now I for ye 6hall mourn and weep. Woeunto you, when all men shall speak well of yon I for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets,” So Christ’s nobodies are the four classes popularly regarded as the most fortunate of men. Tbe rich, the self-satisfied, - the merry and the popuiar are thei objects of His great pity. They are the most luckless people whom he knows. JesuB pities the rich man, the man who has received all that be wishes. Our Master does not com­ miserate all rich men; he had no such feeling toward Joseph of A r. mathea. He condemns those who make riches their god, those who wish to be rich. He despises the man who cannot be moved by the enthusiasm of life because he feels only the inspiration of gain. J cbus had a contempt: for men who measure life only by their ac cumulations, but John D. Rocke­ feller has discovered . that- Jesus, without even a place to lay His head, bad a perfect philosophy about riches. Jesus without a penny knew what Bockefeller learned only after toiling and wail- log for more like mad. Who has a harder time than the - multi-mil iionairef He is hated by many, envied by more and .suspected by all. If he is not a churchman he is scorned as openly and avowedly Bordid; if he is a church member his piety ie jeered at and he is d nbbed hypocrite Sndr; Pharisee. Ifhe liveB simply be is called mean and if Iuxurduslyf a heartless Lives deaf to the Lazaruses on bis doorsteps. If he is generous be is accused of buying his waY- and if he'is not liberal he is called stin gy.: He has no privhte life, yet he lives the loneliest,; most solitary life of Us all. He fias many ene­ mies, a few triends, and a suspic­ ion perpetually haunts him that these few are fnot! disinterested He knows that- nobody thinks he acquired his wealth honestly, but the worst of ft is that' nobody in -quires whether he, ^gather his wealth because he was^icioua or tie Bjstem Under which, he Iivhs is had. Alas for the iich is poor. . . JeBUB pities' the* *el toan. Such a'man jp*y baPPy, but Jesus knowsj is not. I There is no joy able ideal that he has set up and pursued. He may have learned like St. Paul, in whatever state therein to be content, but he does not know as St. Paul did how to be abased and how to abound. His peace is the peace of paralysis and death, both to be filled and to be in want. The self satisfied man takes no interest in public things, if his neighbors can. Are his city’s civic standards high, its streets attractive and its sanitary condit­ ions goodf He does not know and be does not care. What was good enough for his father is good e- nough for him. Alas for the self- satisfied man! Jesus pities the merry man. He does not despise the man who laughs, but the man who laughs only. He does not condemn mer­ riment.. He who compared Him- self to one playing in the market place that the children might dance to His music, was no enemy of mirth. He who likened the kingdom of heaven to a feast, who accepted all invitations to dine, was no ascetic hiding Himself from the world. But Jesus despises the laughing man; the man who playB jester on the stage of life; who has no tear for the sorrowing, no com­ fort for the stricken, no grief for the afflicted. Laughter cannot be sorrow from life.. Grief will come, soon or late, and he who never had a word of cheer for another in distress will be in poor plight when Sorrow enters his home and hits down at his own desolate fire­ side. Jesus pities the merry, laughing man. Everybody should. Jesus rebukes the popular man of whom all men speak well. This object of universal envy is the butt of Chrises woe. He that determ­ ines to go through life affronting nobody attacking no wrong, run­ ning foul of no vice and moving no man to speak ill of him in lite, will find nobody to speak well of him in death. De mortuis nil nisi bonum can be said only of men who are dead while they live. AlaB for the men who are satisfied with their possession; who are conT tent with themselves; who make life one vast, protracted carnival of mirth and who fuccessfully court popularity. Jesus pities and con­ demns them all. WHO MAKES THE BIG PROFITS? I* It Thie Farmer, The Manufacturer or The Merchant?

Most anything pertaining to the high cost of living is interesting. It is just human nature to like to know where our money is go­ ing.

Each court week brings to mind the fact that the dav of the horee trader or ‘‘jockey” is passing .Only a few years ago Federal or Superior‘court was preceded by the horse “ swoppera” who came with the old broken down and crippled horses, bantering every one for a trade. Often the same horses returned each term of court. Many of these beasts were like their masters, too tricky to be of any service, and consequently spent their lives going from one hand to another. In many instan­ ces after they could go no longer they were left in the back lots to die or be taken off by the author­ ities. W estillhaveafewjockies but they are few and one would never know that court week was here if you had to judge by the horae ,“swopping.” — Statesville Sentinel. WHEN EVERY MOVE HURTS.

Cloer was to • have left with a previous quota, but in order to give him another, chance he was called again for the quota that left last Friday, Ithas been ruinored for some tiine that Gioer had boasted of the fact that he would not go to the army.

Even that speculative and august body is governed and their activities are throttled for the safety of the nation. The mills of the nation are not allowed to pay over a stipulated price for wheat. With an -outlay ol several hundred thousand- dol Iars in manufacturing equipment that mill is again only allowed to charge a profit of 25 cents on the barrel for flour and a sworn report must be made to the government showing that this ruling is ad- herred to. One of our mills is selling to the wholesale merchant today his best grade of flour at $11.65 per bairel, and on'that barrel he has made 25 cents, according to sworn state­ ment. That samebarrel of flour if delivered'to your home by the grocer the same day that it left the mill will cost you $14.40, or a difference of $2 75 profit for some­ one between the mill and yonr home. The grocer has probably not hadthe flour in stock over day and will not perhaps pay for it for thirty days, his outlay for capital is nothing compared to the manufacturers. The ..manufacturer who was speaking stated that he was not grumbling and was willing, to a- bide by the government in.'order to help the cause of food coiiserva t-ion along. . That is a patriotic manner to look at the question but isn’t a hardship being forked on the mills and at the same time giving the; tuiddle man free: reigns to charge thejrablic anything they may choose,- It might be well for the buyer or cansumer to do a lit­ tle investigating along with Mr Hoover and see who is making the profit? abonts.

There has been niaeb speculation as to whether Hoover could, regu­ late the prices ol things people eat. It appears that he.-is moving np, and pretty soon the President is to issue a proclamation that will re­ ally. regulate prices, and it is Baid that in effect the government will really control the food suppiy from the corner grocery as well as. from the wholesale bouse and the manu­ facturer. That there has been in these war times terrible manipulation there is no doubt. Take it in the metal trade, and within ten days certain metals have fluctuated, gone from 16j to 14 cents and from 14 to 11 cents, and if you buy wire the market changes before yonr mes­ sage reaches the house from which you order. That is all speculation, gambling pure and simple, and such things can be stopped and should be stopped;-- True, there will i e some fluctuations, but to jump and dance around like, the market has been doing the past thirty dayB is conclusive that it is manipulation pure and simple. The print paper situation is an­ other exhibition of manipulation and speculation and highway rob­ bery, TheBe things we know a- bout. There is no reason why a small load of wood should go up fifty per cent, except that people owning wood arbitrarily say it is worth so much, and the dealer must pay it and the consumer must meet his price. The attempt to regulate coal prices, dealers tell us, has-failed.- Some coal has been’ reduced*and other kinds raised, and after all with the coal business it isn’t so much the -price that pinches as it is the supply. It is said that Hoover proposes to put; a price on all things that people' eat, and that meats and potatoes and butter and milk and rice aiid canned goods and staple vegetables will coine in for regula­ tion. The hope is that Mr. Hooy er can work out his price list and put it in working orffcT- But we can’t see how it will come about. Eggs, as an illustra- don, are selliog around 50 cents, Take the Greensboro market as , an illustration. If there are but few dozen eggs brought in aod people want themj. tbe farmer is wise. He has the;; eggs and he says they are worth so much, and the grocer pays him forty: five cents and naturally must have, his profit and be eells for 50 cents. The grocer, the raan ffom whom you buy, isn’t making anything Suppose Hoover says eggs must sell at thirty cents. This would mean cold storage eggs, and the farmer comes along and says that his eggs are fresh, just laid, the cackle is srill on them, and. : the man who has doodle bugs and who takes his raw, why, naturally that man is’willing to pay more for the fresh, home-laid eggs, and the price is whatever the owner of. the eggs decides upon. In a general way it may be de creed that people cannot store e/gs in cold storage; it may be unlaw- iul for a dealer in food products to have more than a certain amount cn hand, and if this happens the farmer, the man who produces all these things, will go into some­ thing else. Gonseqiiently the sup. ply and demand theory again prove good. In this section of .the country we all knpw how the farmer does with tobacco. If it happens that tobac co’ sells at a low price i the farmer the fcftfc year doesn’t raisejjmy a n d ^ price goes npiy Tbei&ttie next year be goes intfphe business and all of themi raise'tobacco and tobacco comes down. This y those who raised tobacco have getting almost fabulous prices for it, and next year the chances are that the crop will be so large that the prices will be cut perhaps third. Then, the next year; the crop will be light and up it goes again. From Editor Archibald Johnson. It 6eems that the devil has bro­ ken loose in North Carolina Yts well as everywhere else.

Greenville, S. C.. Oct. 21,1917 Dear Record:—Will write a few lines to let you all know what has been going on. We are all well and getting along fine, working hard We sure are clearing off some good farm land around .here. Everybody that saw this place before our troops came here-would not know it now- What was in Woods and corn fields and swamps is a pretty level sight now, and still none of us have been hurt by work yet. We get plenty to eat, such as it is. but altogether it is pretty good, or at least it tastes good after an eight hour stump dig­ ging or an eight hours drill. A fel low is always ready to hear mess call, and believe me, they know it, That is the first , bugle call that fellow learns. Well, we have added about twenty Davie county boys to Camp Sevier. They came in from Camp. Jackson in the last few. days and we are looking for more of them later. Among thpse here now are C, H- Hunt. .Pierce Foster, Arthur Smoot, Ernest McCullbh, Charles Tomlinson and several others that we have not been able to locate yet We haVe welcomed them all to our camp except Ci H. Tomlinson, and we have not been able to locate him yet. The above-named boys is in the Second N. C. Regiment They were pretty lucky to get in their own State troops. I think they will like this Camp better than the. one that they left. In behalf of myself and the other MocksvilleboysofCompany E , we want to thank the ladies of the Red CrossSociety Club, of Mocksville, for the nice comfort bags that were given us boys by them. We sure did appreciate them, and they coulc not have given us anything that we needed as bad as we did those com­ fort bags, for they are a soldier’s •friend.

'NSANE m an k il l s w if e AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN Statesville.—One of the W Q rst trage­ dies ia the history of this section oc­ curred when Carl White, of Taylors­ ville, became violently demented and *llled his wife and two small chil­ dren. Mr. White was at the home of *»s father, Mr. W. B. White, who was a fortMr representative in the state senate from Alexander county, when Jne killing occurred. It had been noted Mr. White was slightly wrong: no serious thought was given. Says “We Ought to Be Quickened to Give This Question of Woman Suf­ frage Our Immediate Consideration” j —Addresses New York Delegation.! Washington. — President Wilson I ^ave full indorsement to woman suf-: frage as an immediate issue in every state. • j Addressing a delegation of 100 ' leaders of the New York state woman suffrage party, who called at the white house to obtain an expression in sup-' port of the campaign in . that state, the President in emphatic terms de­ clared that woman suffrage is one of the fundamental questions of demoe- ■ racy whose proper settlement is de- j manded by the issues of the war. He 1 praised the spirit, capacity and vision of American women in the war. I “I believe,” he said, “that just be-' cause we are quickened by the ques­ tions of this war we ought to be quickened to give this question of woman suffrage our immediate con­ sideration.” Speaking as “one of the spokesmen ! of a great party.” the President pledg- j ed his hearty support and added: | “I want to speak for myself and say i that it seems to me that this is the ! time for the states of this union to 1 take this action," . j Explaining his leaning toward suf- j frage as a state rather than national ■ issue, he said: “I perhaps may bej touched a little too much by the tra­ ditions of our politics traditions which lay such questions almost en- 1 tirely upon the states, but I want to see communities declare themselves quickened at this time and show the consequences of the quickening.” ; Tlie addresses were delivered in the east room of the white house, in re­ sponse to remarks by Mrs. Norman de R.

FEED ALLIES AND WIN WAR, SAYS HOOVER Reviews Food Situation—Ships, Wheat, and Hogs Are Great Need. Washington.—In a s'.atement re­ viewing the world food situation, Pood Administrator Hoover said the fight j against the submarine would be won I if the United States and Canada could stimulate- production and effect econo­ mies so as to feed the allies from this ’ continent without sending a ship far-' ther afield than the American Atlan- tic seaboard. | Ships, wheat and hogs are the great needs emphasized by Mr. Hoover. He said deepest concern had been caused by the fact that in spite of high prices j this country’s pork consumption had increased during the' war until pro- j duction had been outstripped; a situ­ ation that must be changed. "K we discontinue exports,” Mr. j Hoover added, “we will move the Ger-. man line from Prance to the Atlantic j seaboard. Pork products have an in- fiuence in this present world situation i wider than one would ordinarily at- j tribute to them. The human body must have a certain amount of fat; we must increase production of hogs if we are to answer the world's crav­ ing. . ! “The production of fats is today a critical necessity for the preservation j of these people (the allies) and the. maintenance of their constancy in- the j war. Every pound of fat is as sure of service as every bullet, and every j hog is of greater value to the winning j of this war than a shell.” As to wheat the administrator said j the allies’ deficiency of production is 196,000,000 bsshfels, with imports of 577,700,000 bushels required to main­ tain normal consumption. NEW PRAFT REGULATIONS ARE VIRTUALLY COMPLETED Washington.—New regulations tot applying the army draft were virtually completed at the office of the provost marshal general and probably will be submitted to President Wilson for final approval. The President already has approved the general plan, under which all registered men not yet . call­ ed will be classified in five groups in accordance with their availability for military service. AMERICAN STEAMER FIGHTS WITH U-BOAT Washington.—An announcement by the navy department revealed that the ship which fought a battle with the submarine off the French coast was one of the American Luckenbach steamers and that the, fight occurred on October 19. News of the fight was received here in a news dispatch from a French port.. According to the navy’s advices, nine men were wound­ ed, seven members of the vessel’s crew and two sailors. Washington. — The five classifica­ tions into which men awaiting draft will be divided, under the new regis­ trations, approved by President Wil­ son, have become public much before the time planned by the provost mar­ shal general’s office and are here pub­ lished. It was discovered that what .was to have remained an official secret for a week or more was divulged at a din­ ner in New York which Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal General Crowder attended. The provost mar­ shal general discussed the new regu­ lations, without intending to make public the classification, but some members of a New York local exemp­ tion board, thinking to elucidate the general’s speech, printed the classifi­ cations on the back of the menu sard. The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered, to which class he belongs and in what order the dependant classifications will be called to service: Class 1. ‘ 1—Single man without dependent relatives. 2—Married man (or widower with children) who habitually fails to sup­ port his family. 3—Married man dependent on wife for support. 4—Married man (or widower with children) not usefully engaged, family supported by income independent of his labor. 5—Men not included in any other description in this or other classes. 6—Unskilled laborer. Class 2. 1—Married man or father of moth­ erless children, usefully engaged, but family has sufficient income apart from his daily labor to afford reason­ ably adequate support during his ab­ sence. 2—Married man—no children—wife can support herself decently and without hardship. 3—Skilled farm laborer engaged in necessary industrial enterprise. 4—Skilled industrial laborer engag­ ed in necessary agricultural enter­ prise. Class 3, 1—Man with foster children depend­ ent on daily labor support. 2—Man with aged, infirm or invalid parents or grandparents dependent on daily labor for support. 3—Man with brothers or sisters in­ competent to support themselves, de­ pendent on daily labor for support. 4—County or municipal officer. 5—Firemen or policemen. 6—Necessary artificers or workmen In arsenals, armories and navy yards. 7—Necessary custom house clerk. 8—Persons necessary in transmis­ sion- of mails. 9—Necessary employees in service of United States. 10—Highly specialized administra­ tive experts. 11—Technical or mechanical experts.

With the French Armies in France. —General Perishing, commander-in- chief of the American forces in France was present throughout the battle northeast of Soissons. accompanied by General d'Esperey, of the French army. When the splendid victory by ! the French army had been accom- i plished, the American commander ; went over the greater part of the con­ quered territory, visiting among other . points, the Vaurains farm, which is i more than a quarter of kilometer be- ' yond the original French- line. Several squadrons of tanks partici- : pated in the battle and did excellent work in company with the advancing , infantry. It was by means of these ; most modern war implements, that the ! FUain farm was captured. “Most of the prisoners taken, who I up to night numbered approximately I 8,000, while others were still pouring j out of the deep caverns, were caught in quarries. One group, composed of 400 men, was led out to surrender by a German soldier who spoke French and who assured his comrades that they need not fear bad treatment from their captors, despite the .,assertions currently made to them by their offi­ cers that the French massacred pris­ oners.” Another batch of prisoners fell into the hands of the French just as they alighted from motor trucks in which they had been hurried to the battle­ field as reinforcements. The losses of the Germans were ex­ tremely heavy as was testified to by the heaps of dead found beneath the ruins of quarries, which crumbled un­ der the French bombardment. Tlle French casualties were rather below normal. While the allied troops were busily engaged in consolidating positions won in Flanders, the French forces of General Petain struck a mighty blow against the German line north­ east of Soissons and made some ot the most important gains of terrain since they threw back the army of the German crown prince which was besieging Verdun. The stroke was made over a front of about six miles, from the east of Vauxaillon to Pargnyy-Filain. Un- ‘der rainy and geherally' unfavorable weather conditions the French push­ ed forward all along th§ line, aided by German positions at an altitude of about 150 feet, using their ma­ chine guns, and penetrated the Ger­ man line at one point to a depth of two and a fifth miles. Numerous important positions fell one by one into the hands - of Gen­ eral Petain’s men, and in addition more than 7,500 Germans, an enor­ mous amount of war material and 25 heavy and field guns were cap­ tured. BIG LIBERTY WATCH FIRES GLEAMED THE COUNTRY OVER SERIOUS SUGAR SHORTAGE IS SOON TO BE ENDED. Two Hundred Million Pounds Purchas- ed In Louisiana. Washington.—Two hundred million pounds of Louisiana cane sugar war contracted for here by the American Sugar Refining company, and will be­ gin moving northward next week to relieve the serious shortage of the eastern states. If the eastern consumer had been compelled to await the coming of this year’s supply from western beet and Cuban can fields, there would have been no relief for existing near-fam­ ine conditions until late in Novem­ ber. For the 200,000,000 pounds the re­ finers paid about $13,000,000, or ap­ proximately 6 1-2 cents a pound. Af­ ter adding the cost of transportation and refining, it is estimated that they will be able to sell to the wholesaler at steadily reducing prices, beginning at 8.35 cents eastern seaboard and dropping to 7.25 by the end of the year. The latter figure is the sea­ board price previously fixed by agree­ ment for Cuban, Hawaiian and west­ ern beet sugar, and the price the food administration expects to maintain. TO SUSPEND PRIORITY OF SHIPMENT PLAN. Washington.—The government will suspend its priority of shipment plans on Monday, October 29, in order to devote the entireproduction of the Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Mich­ igan bituminous coal mines for that one day to the emergency needs of the domestic consumer of Ohio and Michigan, the fuel administration an­ nounced. This plan of devoting one day’s production to the needs of a particular section will be followed in other cases. At National Capital Bonfire Was Fed by Fagots From All Over County. Washington.—Liberty watch fires gleamed the country over the eve of Liberty day. Under the direction of the woman's liberty loan committee the fires were lighted from Florida to the Canadian border and from coast to coast. In several states the governors lighted the principal fires which were made the occasion of patriotic demonstra­ tions. Here in the national capital a roar­ ing bonfire, fed by fagots from his­ toric spots in many states, was light­ ed at the base of the Washington mon­ ument by Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, wife of the secretary of the treasury. Low lying clouds, drizzling rain upon, the thousands of spectators, reflected the pink glow of the flames. The monu­ ment itself stood in brilliant light from foundation to summit, the latter lost from time to time in the shadows of drifting clouds. Virtually the entire population of the city witnessed the unusual scene from their homes. Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson braved the rain to see it. Fuel from many historic spots went into the great pile upon which the flames fed. It came, in fagots, splint­ ers and slivers from the President’s former home in Georgia, the old Lin­ coln home in Illinois, Cleveland’s birthplace in New Jersey, Custer’s headquarters in North Dakota, the Aztec house, near Roosevelt dam in Arizona, and from Grant's house in Missouri. Historic trees were repre­ sented, too, in branches and bits of wood from the constitutional elm at Coridon, Ind., a tree on the old Blue Lick battlefield of Kentucky, and a tree from the home at Lexington, Ky., of General Hunt Morgan. A big piece of flagstaff carried by the Van Buren avengers in the Mexi­ can war, a pinion of wood from the slopes of Pike’s Peak, a box of sage brush from Wyoming, and wood from lower Cape Fear, in North Carolina, where, in 1765, the American people made the first armed resistance to the stamp act, all went into the flames. Mrs. McAdoo lighted the fire with a trench candle sent from Quebec and set in a candlestick given by Napo­ leon Bonaparte to his brother, Joseph, and later presented to President An­ drew Jackson.

Washington. — Interesting state­ ments about Germany’s unsettled po­ litical situation and treachery in the ranks of the army, made by an Bast Prussian prisoner, have - been receiv­ ed here in official dispatches-. Ac­ cording to this soldier, the socialistic and revolutionary spirit is growing so so rapidly that it is expected to endan­ ger the supremacy of the junkers by spring, and the military authorities are adopting repressive measures. GERMANY TRYING TO LAND ARMS IN IRELAND London.—An increase in the loss of British merchantmen through mines or submarines is noted in the admir­ alty report for' the current week.

Ihe fllcirsI; Ipavie.' V ' I * : ; Weekly Review of War Operations —Allies Have Men and Material to- Overcome Natural Obstacles—U. S. Troops Take Part i n Battle. Washington.—Military experts here do not expect winter to halt the great allied drive against the Germans in Flanders. Secretary Baker's weekly review of war operations discloses the belief of the war department that po­ tency of material and men will enable the British and French commanders to triumph over natural obstacles aad continue forcing the enemy backward without waiting for spring. The review touches for the first time upon the American expeditionary forces in Frar.ce, declaring the men, Jfter three months intensive training, are in efficient fighting trim and splen­ did physical condition. In dwelling upon the importancu of the battle of Flanders and its effect upon the morale of the Germans, the war Secretary declares it apparent that the German high command planned the recent expedition against the Rus­ sians in the Riga sector in order to bolster up morale -and meet impend­ ing internal difficulties. By extending kcr Unee in the east, lie adds, Ger­ many has merely added to the length of her line of communications and increased confidence in the final allied vietory. The review covering the - week end­ ing October 20, follows: “Our men in France, after three months intensive training are in splen­ did physical condition and efficient fighting trim. They have readily be­ come acclimatized and now feel, at home in the war zone. “Our troops have met with the moat warm-hearted and enthusiastic recep­ tion on the part of the armies and people of France. “The health of our men overseas is reported as excellent. “The week just closed has been one of relative quiet on all fronts. Bad Weather Prevails. “Bad weather already prevails along the western front, wintry oonditions will soon set in and the terrin will become increasingly difficult for at­ tacking troops.' Nevertheless', the po­ tency of allied material and men, the accumulation of the technical means of combat, and the preparations which, have been going on for many months will make it possible for the British and French commanders to triumph over natural obstacles, and with few short intervals we may expect the of­ fensive to press forward. “It is not anticipated that the allies will go into winter quarters this year. . “The full importance of the battle In Flanders is beginning to be reveal­ ed. In order to appreciate the r§al significance of thin- engagement and the effect it has had on the morale of the German army and the German peo­ ple, we must consider briefly the German attacks in the Riga sector, in­ cluding the capture of Oesel, Dago, and other .minor islands of the Fin­ nish gulf. “While no attempt should be ma*e to belittle the importance of the pe­ titions gained 'by the enemy, we can- not fail to record -that it is apparent that the Germans undertook this ex­ pedition with a view to bolstering up the morale of the country, more par tlcoiarly in order to be able to meet the impending ia»m ai difficulties which threaten to culminate in a re­ newed cabinet crisis in the near fu­ ture. Anything for a Victory. t • -‘The German higher command has InTOTisily picked out a weakened ob­ jective, in order to be able to record a success which should be of political rather than military value. The asl> ands of the Finnish coast in the hand of the enemy in no w&y offset the re­ cent allied victories in Flanders. TO PROSECUTE V/AR UNTIL VICTORY IS ACHIEVED London.—Premier Lloyd George and the chancellor of the exchequer, An­ drew Bonar Law, were the principal' speakers at an imposing demonstra­ tion in Albert hall to inaugurate the autumn campaign for national econ­ omy. The premier declared that the magnitude of th'e enthusiasm gather­ ing In the fourth year of the war was the best proof of the determination of this country to prosecute the war until victory was achieved. ' Will Not Buy Mexican 8ilver. Washington. — Negotiations under which this government had agreed to purchase 6,000,000 Mexican silver pe­ sos from the Mexican government, to be melted and coined into subsidiary silver, were declared off. Mexican representatives were understood to have signified their acquiescence in the arrangement, but acting under in­ structions from Mexico City, they pre­ sented new phases, which resulted ie the withdrawal by the United States of its ofTer. The necessity for such a purchase has passed. AUiiI VAVAM ■ W iww. j ------- D ress Womeri W W ea: ><>ChC><><><><>«<K><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>^^ m Captivating Morning Coats. Whoever thought up the morning eoat, or breakfast coat, added a new joy to life. It has taken its bright place In our midst and Is welcome to stay, and destined to do just that, for the rest of time. It will take a great inspiration to create something equally captivating to replace it. The morning coat is a gay and pretty garment, made of light-colored taffeta, on the lines of a regulation coat. It is dignified enough to appear at the breakfast table and frivolous enough to be charming. It is long, reaching almost to the bottom of the lacy petti­ coat that Is its companion for life. It has a coat collar and a belt and fast­ ens at the front like any other coat. In the matter of sleeves it is wayward refusing to go further than elbow or three-quarter length. In the coat shown in the picture there qre pockets at each side edged with shirred bands of taffeta. This finish is used on the sleeves and down the front of the coat and the buttons are covered with taffeta. They fasten through cords; made by covering cable cord with the silk instead of shirred bands, full box-plaitlngs made of nar­ row strips of silk, frayed out into fringed edges, make a lovely finish. Almost anyone could make a coat of this kind if it were -worth while to spend the time, but they are so inex­ pensive ready made that there is noth­ ing to be gained by doing the work at home. Of course nothing could look bet­ ter with a breakfast coat than the lit­ tle lace cap that has a remote resem­ blance to a sunb'onnet with its cape of lace behind and frill over the face. The ribbon that extends across the top of it ties at the nape of the neck in the back and is of the same color as the coat. The tiniest chiffon flowers are set in little clusters on it. Pink, maize, blue, lavender and light green are all used for these coats with the preference at present for pink and maize. « r “ Furw ard” March! Say Millinery Styles. All millinery minds appear to travel to an Inevitable goal, no matter by • what road they go. When they nego­ tiate with fashion concerning the mat­ ter of mid-winter hats, fur and velvet, fur and metal brocades, fur with metal embroideries, fur with metal cloth, ap­ pear to be the end of their imagina­ tions. One might think it contrary to the constitution, in the realm of style, to leave out fur; for it is everywhere. But, if the designers haven’t fur then they use fabrics that suggest it, and feathers. Very small neckpieces made to match, account partly for the partial­ ity shown to fur. Just a touch of fur on the-hat, and a high collar, like a small muffler of the same fur, to be worn with the hat. leaves no doubt In the mind as to the smartest thing in winter millinery. The neckpiece may be a scarf or cape, and both it and the hat that goes with it may be of cloth and fur.- Designers have made many variations on this theme and all of! them successful. ' Three new arrivals in millinery are shown in the group above. Something between a cap anti a turban at the cen­ ter of the picture, is made alt of caracul and it is draped up at the center of the front revealing a gleaming bit of silver brocade on a black ground. This Iiat is soft and furnished with a chin strap of the fur that extends from side to side and fastens with a snap fast­ ener. Very few hats are stiff, but there ■ SM many in which only tile crowns are soft. The pretty hat at the lower right is of this description. It Is made of taupe-colored velvet embroidered with silver threads. The coronet is edged with moleskin and the soft crown is finished with three small pompoms of this fur. set where the vel­ vet drapery is fastened down. The hat at the left is of brown; hat­ ters’ plush with the brim smoothly covered and the crown draped with this beautiful material. It dares to be furless, inasmuch as the plush is much like a glossy fur, and is trimmed with a handsome flat band of feathers that extends across the front of thn brim. Veils Have Magic Lure.' .The lure of Jhe veil is second only to the lure o f milady’s eye. For motor use. the veil is of thick substantial chiffon almost too coarse to claim rec­ ognition to its parent stem, and prefer­ ably in taupe, beige or gray, though some of the darker brown veils are ex-, eellent and the high colors are per­ missible for those" who like to fleck the •grim winter landscape with a touch of color. Where the veil is attached to the motor cap usually it matches For the separate veil the style that is liked is square—about three and a half by four yards or even longer, and is cleft at one end or both for a short ways to admit of close drift ing'in helmet effect about the head and face. UEIIS ED ' WHEAT TO IGS PAGE DECLARES PRACTICE UN­ PATRIOTIC AND BORDERING ON TRAITOROUS. DISPATCHES FBOM RALEI8H Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. That there are" farmers in some sec­ tions of North Carolina who are feed­ ing to hogs wheat that is needed by their government for the maintenance of its armies and the armies of its Al­ lies, has been brought to the attention of State Food Administrator Henry A. Page. It is said in explanation of this re­ markable, practice that the mills are offering only $2.25 for' wheat while corn is selling at a higher figur.e. Re­ gardless of a difference in price in some localities the food administra­ tion and other authorities are indig­ nant that any farmer in this State Bhould be so unpatriotic as to use for feed the only cereal that is suitable for export and upon which the govern­ ment is depending, almost as much as upon the soldiers, to win the war. It is clearly recognised that if this country falls down in any degree in Its task of feeding the Allied armies and keeping them in good fighting trim it will pay for that failure in the blood arid lives of its own soldiers— the boys from North Carolina and oth­ er States—who will have to make up for any decreased fighting efficiency of our Allies. In the face of this in­ disputable fact the food administra­ tion does not hesitate to denounce as bordering on the traitorous the prac­ tice of feeding wheat to any animals. It is declared that this practice Is not only unpatriotic but that it is fool­ ish and uneconomical. Corn may be retailing at stores in some sections at a higher price than wheat but the corn that is now being harvested, and which is thoroughly mature and ready to feed, will sell for much less than that figure—probably for not more than,$1.50 per bushel. Besides velvet bean meal, A. most effective hog ,feed is selling at $35 to $40 per ton and rice and wheat bran and shorts are also available. Further, there is not a miller in the State but would gladly exchange a much larger value of hog feed in bran and shorts for a bushel of wheat than would be contained in the bushel of wheat. The food administration requests that the names and addreses of any feeders of hogs or other stock who persist in using wheat as feed be sent to the office of the administration at Raleigh. To Organize Safety Leagues. Following plans which have been worked out by the insurance commis­ sioner, James R. Young, Mrs. W. R. Hollowell, representing the insurance department, recently organized at Rlchlands, Onslow county, the first Safety League in North Carolina. The league was organized at Richlands ru­ ral public high school, among the stu­ dents and teachers of the school and a number of the parents of the pupils. The meeting at which the league was organized was an enthusiastic one and the promise of good results from the organizaion is' good. The league fs to have regular meetings each Fri­ day morniug. The opening exercise hour of the school has been given over to the league on those days for its meeting. The league has a president, vice-president, treasurer, and secre­ tary, all chosen from-among the pupils of the school. Assisting these officers there is an administrative committee. The members of the league will co­ operate in using measures against ac­ cidents and fires in their community. They will make inspections of prem­ ises and see that carelessness that may cause loss of property or life or the injury of persons is prevented as far as it is within their power to 4o. At the regular meetings certain members will report on observations that have been made and newspaper reports that have come to their atten­ tion during the week and.discussions will be held in which plans can be laid to prevent occurrences of a simi­ lar nature where injury may result in t&e reach of the league. It is the intention of Commissioner Young to give the aid of the depart­ ment in the organization of these leagues in all parts of the State, and, whenever practicable, representatives of the insurance department will be sent to assist in their organization.

Friday, November 2, has been set aside by the government and the State school authorities to be observed as Arbor Day. It is expected that, nearly all of our publiij schools will observe it in an appropriate manner. A new Arbor and Bird Day Manual has been prepared by the North Carolina Geo­ logical and Economic Survey and has been printed and distributed by; the State Department of Education.

This is put around the trunks of the trees in the form of tubes,-with the lower end pressed into the ground. This tube is tied with wire. Wooden veneer strips of about the same dimensions as the wire screen give good results. They should be soaked in water before attempting to fold them around the trunk of the tree. AVire is best for tying them, as it is durable and does not necessitate renewing. . Corn, stalks, biiildinjf paper, and common wrapping paper are some of the other things frequently used. They are efficacious if applied in such a manner that they prevent the rabbit from getting his mouth to the bark of ihe trees. There have been a number of washes and paints of various kinds recomtnended as being eifective against rabbits. The disadvantage of these washes is that heavy rains wash them •>ff and make «t necessary to repeat the application. It Is not difficult to •ind or devise preparations which will a spray may be applied f„r i,,-mvn rii. Materials are the same as for the and curculio spray.

On this account hog in­ testines and other cheap meat prod­ ucts rubbed on the trees lwve given good results.- They will lie effective as long as the taint remains on the tre<- and no longer. - Another wash, which liiis given con­ siderable satisfaction, is uiadc by slat­ ing one peck of fresh stone lime with soap suds. Tliin to the consistency of whitewash, add one-half gallon of crude carbolic aciil, four pounds of sulphur and one gallon of soft' soap. Paint the trunks of the trees, as be­ fore, in the autumn. The United States Department o! Agriculture recommends the lime- sulphur wash as having given thor­ oughly satisfactory results. This ra-h consists of: Unslaked lime, 20 poamls; flowers of sulphur, Io poumls; wat« 50 gallons. The lime, sulphur aicl one-third of the water arc lmiled to­ gether for one hour, and then the res of the water is added. By adding salt the wash will stick better.

Synopsis-Robert Hollis, who tells the story, is a guest on Girard Carrington s yacht, Esmeralda. It is supposed to be a “sta"” party, and Kollis is surprised on discovering a woman, who evidently wishes to remain unknown, aboard. She merely tells him her name H Vera. Carrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that he is- engineering a copper pool. The yacht is sunk in a collision and Hollis saves McCann, millionaire, and one of the party. Hollis and Mc­ Cann rescue Vera and leave the ship in a small boat. McCann refuses' to submit to the authority of Hollis, and the latter enforces obedience The castaways are sighted by a ship, the Indian Chief, which takes them aboard. The-vessel is badly storm damaged. All officers are dead Bascom, the owner, says he is taking a cargo of ammunition to Ger­ many. Hollis consents to take charge of the ship and continue the voyage. CHAPTER XI— (Continued.) “The glass is falling rapidly,” I an­ swered, “and I suspect a storm is brooding behind that curtain; that is why I am so anxious to make all clear. What do you think of the crew?” She glanced aside toward*the mo­ tionless negro at the wheel, and then at the men shuffling about their work. “I—I hardly know; they—they look awfully rough and—and disreputable. Weren’t same of them drunk?” "No doubt, yes. Don’t worry, Miss Vera. Those things are frequent enough on shipboard. We- will have these lads thoroughly tamed within an­ other twenty-four hours. There is never a mutiny without some leader and a better cause. I am working under your orders, yon know.” She glanced up quickly into my face. "Under my orders? / No, not that, Mr. Hollis. Tou told me it would be your choice; I merely granted permis­ sion.” “Tour permission was equivalent to an order. I so accepted it.” “But that is hardly fair. Not that I regreP the choice, for I could never have forgiven myself if my selfishness had ruined Philip Bascom. He is really an old friend.” “So I supposed; a very interesting man in spite of his misfortune.” “He was, indeed, before that bullet wrecked him. It is sad; and to think that the one who shot him is actually on board—his guest.” “Not altogether a pleasant thought to me,” I said soberly. “For McCann is the kind to breed more trouble if he can find an excuse.” “You do not consider the man dan­ gerous?” “Not in the sense you mean. He will, never attack openly, or permit himself to be known in any conspiracy. But he will have to be watched, neverthe­ less. He is the sort to harbor revenge, and as he feels hatred and distrust toward both Bascom and myself, we cannot be too careful. I shall have to tell Leayord the whole story.” "Leayord?” "The man I named for first officer; he is standing abaft the foremast yon­ der.” O “The second officer is a Swede?” “Yes; rather young, but I like his face, and he seems to have the re­ spect of the men.” I turned and gazed into the face of the compass, already lighted. “What is your name?” I asked of the black at the wheel. “Watson, sah; Charles ’Watson.” “Well, Watson, let her head fall oil a couple of points—that’s it, my man. Is this the signal cord to the engine room?” He nodded, the whites of his eyes showing oddly, and I rang for an in­ crease of speed. Watson, bracing the wheel with one knee, wiped his lips on his sleeve. “Am yo’ shorely aimin’ fer ter sail 'Hs yere ship long ter Hamburg, sah?” he asked cautiously. “You heard what I said to the men?” “Yas, sah, I done heerd dat. But I 'hought maybe I best tell yer, sah, that thar’s sure a bad lo t. forward, an’ they’s plum set against goin’ no far­ ther.” “A bad lot, hey? And who seems to be the leader, Watson?” He scratched his head. “Wal, sah, there’s two or three who has a lot ter say, but I sorter reckon as how de real boss is a white pusson call’ Liverpool Red—he dun started ter knife me night afore last, and if I hadn’t done got outer thar right- lively, I reckon I’d bin a dead nigger sure." “What objection does this fellow and the others with him have to finishing this v&yage?” “Wal, mostly at first it wus just ord’nary cussidness, sah; but now they Eot the war ter harp about, dat Liver­ pool is a-playln’ it up ter beat all, sah. He says this ship is loaded with war stuff, and bound ter be sunk or cap- inred; am dat so, sah?” “We have a miscellaneous, cargo,” I answered, “and some of it might be contraband. But it was shipped before ^or was declared, and we have ample time to reach port before the establish­ ment of a blockade. There will be no- 'rouble, Watson, if the men only do jheir duty. You let them know that • saiG so when you go forward.” “Yas, sah.” I left him, and walked over to the rail, realizing keenly the position of peril into which I had drifted. With a loyal crew my task would prove no easy one, but with a crippled ship, and the men already on .the verge of mu­ tiny, the situation was almost despe­ rate. CHAPTER XII. The Crew Grow Ugly. For a moment I remained forgetful of the presence of the girl on deck. There was but one course to pursue— at the very first evidence of disobedi­ ence I m ust*assert full authority* There must be no hesitation, no sign of weakness. Even as this crystallized in my own mind, the girl’s hand touched the sleeve of my jacket. “Supper is ready, Mr. Hollis,” she said. “Are you not coming down?” “Very shortly. I will have the men knock off work, and leave the mate in charge of the deck.” “What were you thinking about so earnestly? You actually forgot me.” I glanced aside into her eyes. “Not guilty, Miss Vera; I was think­ ing of you, and of how I could get you safely out of this scrape. I do not say this to frighten you, Miss Vera, only, perhaps it is best for you to know the situation. The first thing necessary on this voyage is to show those fellows forward who is master aboard. But we’ve talked about It long enough now. I do not anticipate any locking of horns tonight for those lads will need to dis­ cuss plans among themselves first. Bascom will be waiting for you in the cabin, and I will join you presently.” I walked with her as far as the lad­ der, and watched until she disappeared.' Forward I could perceive little outside the glow of the lanterns in the radius of which black, grotesque figures con­ stantly passed and repassed. Occasion­ ally a voice sang out some command, the words scarcely distinguishable. “Mr. Leayord!” I sang out. “Aye, aye, sir.” “Let the men knock off work for the present, and send the second mate’s watcli down for supper. You will take the deck, and it will be better to have another hand aft here at the wheel.” “Very well, sir.” I waited until he clambered heavily up the ladder and joined me, his huge figure outlined against the gleam of the binnacle light. “I was pleased to see the way in which the crew took hold, Mr. Lea- The Girl’s Hand Touched the Sleeve _ • of My Jacket. yord,” I said quietly, “and that OIson set them so good an example.” He crossed over to the rail and came back wiping' his lips on his sleeve. . “Olson is a good man, Mr. Hollis; you made no mistake when you chose him for second officer, but I never saw a wo'fse bunch of sea scum in any fo’- castle than we’ve got aboard here, sir.” "They took hold, all right.” “Aye,' for the once; they’re a 'bit dazed yet, an’ have had no time to talk it over among themselves.” “We’ll hear from , them later, you think?” “Tomorrow, sir, or perhaps to- night, as soon as they learn for sure the course we’re steering. They are dead set against Hamburg.” “Why Hamburg, Mr. Leayord?” “Well, sir, I don’t just know1 myself, for I was the bosun, and the lads never talked to me very freely. From all I’ve heard, however, it’s largely caused by what that fat bloke fer brought aboard with yer had to say about this dirty war breakin’ out. I don’t know the duffer’s name, sir; but I hear he claims to be a millionaire, an’ is willin’ ter spend a lot o’ coin, just to be took back ter New York. Cookie told me that he and the guy that goes by the name of Liverpool had quite a talk.” “Liverpool Red—yes, I’ve heard of him; he’s the men’s leader forward.” “Likely so ; but there’s others of the same kidney. If I was you, sir, I’d have a talk with Olson when he, come on deck again. He’ll tell you more’n I can.” I stood silent a moment, staring out into the black void. “I presume, Mr. Leayord, I can con­ fidently rely'on your loyalty In case trouble develops?” “You sure can, sir.” “And Olson?” “He’ll face it like a man; and al­ though Masters is a bit of a fool, I’m guessing he can be counted on in a pinch.” “Are there any others?” “That’s hard to say, sir, offhand. I haven’t been shipmates with them, or with any o’ this crew long enough yet to size ’em up; but there are a few men forward who don’t chum none with Liverpool’s crowd. Olson would know ’em better than I.” “Well, the sooner we learn exactly how we stand in this matter the better. I’ll relieve you as soon as I have a bite to eat.” In, spite of its general dinginess of paint and furnishings, the main cabin had a look of coziness and comfort as I entered from the black gloom of the decks. Bascom and Miss Vera occu­ pied seats on one side, while Olson, washed and brushed into a state of rare discomfort, sat alone opposite. A slim, narrow-chested man, his weak mouth partially concealed by a strag­ gling mustache, and who answered to the name of Dade, acted as steward, but the boy, Moon, was doing'most of the work. I drew out the single va­ cant chair and sat down. “Well,” I said pleasantly, breaking the rather awkward silence, “I do not exactly know where we are going, but we are on our way.” “The sea is rising, I judge,” re­ marked Bascom. “There is every promise of a rough night, but nothing to worry over. Dade, why did you set the table only for four? There is another passenger aboard.” “He has refused to mess aft, sir.” “Oh, he has I Well, possibly, I may have something to say-as to that. Did he-give any reason?” Dade endeavored to hide a grin. “Not exactly, a reason, sir,” he answered softly, “but I took it from what he said that he was not overly proud o’ the way he wus marked up, sir.” I devoted a few minutes to the meal, but when Dade departed on an errand forward, decided I .might just as^well discuss the situation frankly. “I am beginning to fear,” I said qui­ etly, “that Mr. Fergus McCann intends to make us all tne trouble possible, and is even now behi'nd most of the dis­ satisfaction on board. Do you know anything definite, Mr. Olson?” The mate paused in his eating, with knife and fork uplifted. “I had not heard, sir. May I ask if he is rich?” “Quite so ; he was a guest on the yacht Esmeralda. Now that I have answered these questions, Mr. Olson,” and I stared into his rather emotion­ less face intently, “perhaps you will be kind enough to answer mine.” “I would know what I talk,” he re­ turned stubbornly. "He, this Mr. Mc­ Cann, he offers ten thousand dollars to be put back in New York.” • “So that’s his game! \Yho brought the word forward?” “Cookie, I think, sir. I overheard Jim White say that Mr. McCann had a belt on him with more money in it than they’d ever seen before in all their lives' The d fool—I beg your pardon, miss—didn’t know no more than to show it to ’em. Why, the sight of it fairly drove them two wharf - rats crazy. • “There’s half a dozen men forward,” •he went on slowly, “who would murder their grandfathers, sir, to get hold o’ all that coin. The rest o’ the crew are decent enough fellows as saiiormen go, but there’s liquor aboard yet, and all this ’ere war talk has seared ’em against continuing the voyage.” “McCann told them?” “He told Cookie an’ Liverpool, an’ they circulated the news. 1Tis said we’re chuck up with contraband, sir,' an’ that if we’re took, every man jack of us will be chucked into an English or French prison.” “You expect a mutiny, then, Mr. Ol­ son?” “I don’t know what’ll , stop it, sir,” he answered solemnly. “The men went aft ter sorter take your measure, sir, and hear what It was you proposed do­ ing. They ain’t had no chance to git tergether an’ talk since, but It’? my notion they’re ripe enough for the job.” I looked him squarely In the eyes. “And how-qbout you, Mr. Olson?” i’Me, sir?” his lips grinned. “If I hadn’t, intended for to stay with yer, sir, I heyer would ’a’ took the job.” I reached out my hand, and our fin­ gers locked.' “Good; with both my officers loyal,' we’ll find a way out of this mess. Come with me into the captain’s stateroom, until we see what we jean find.-there useful.” I disturbed things as little as pos­ sible, leaving any necessary research into Captain Hadley's private affairs to a later date, but sought with some anxiety through a roll of maps shoved behind the chest, Olson holding a lan­ tern aloft, until I finally brought forth an old chart of the North Atlantic. We bent over this, outspread on the deck between us, and Olson’s stubby fore­ finger traced the prickings of two voy­ ages around the Orkneys into the North sea. The chart revealed, also, although in somewhat less detail, the German coastline. I was far from sat­ isfied with this discovery, b.ut nothing better could be hoped for. The total destruction of the eharthouse forward made this find a godsend indeed, and we were 'fortunate in the fact that Captain Hadley preserved his old maps. Bidding Olson relieve the first officer, I remained there alone for some minutes familiarizing myself with the two charts, and outlining in my mind the safest course to pursue. As I sat there the rising wind began to hurl rain against the closed glass of the port, and I could' hear the splash of the drops on the deck overhead. An 3 "I Was Not Aware There Were Any of My Class on Board.” oiled coat, belonging to the skipper, hung dangling from a hook, and I slipped it on, extinguishing the light before closing and locking the door. Leayord was alone at the table in the cabin, which had already been cleared of its dirtied dishes. I had advanced to the companion steps when his voice stopped me. “Captain,” he said in hoarse whis- pe', “was you planning to go forward ah.ne?” “Certainly.” Leayord glanced about uneasily. ' “Well, I wouldn’t, sir, if I was yon— not tonight anyhow. The men are that ugly, there’s no knowin’ what might happen. Do you carry a gun, sir?” “Why, no; I saw one there in a drawer of Captain Hadley’s desk.. You think the situation is as bad as that?” “I’d go back and get it, sir,” he said soberly, “an’ then keep to the after­ deck till daylight.” An instant I stood staring at the rain beating fiercely against the glass of the companion, then turned back to the stateroom I had just left, slipped the revolver out of the desk drawer into my pocket, and re-entered the cabin. I buttoned the oilskin closely about my throat and stepped out on deck, the wind driving the rain full into my face, and, for the moment, blinding me. CHAPTER XIII. .I Make McCann Prisoner. It was evident enough in my mind that there were two elements of evil aboard—liquor and McCann’s wealth. Either alone would have been bad enough, but thus combined, they ren­ dered our situation more than perilous ;—and I was facing this peril com­ paratively alone. Masters would doubt­ less perform his duty, but his work would keep him below, and ne would prove of slight value on deck. My im­ pression of Leayord and Olson was fa­ vorable enough; they were, undoubted­ ly, the very best material on board; yet, from long association with the forecastle, it (was only natural, that their sympathies should be with their mates forward. An efficient sea offi­ cer is-.not made overnight, and either man might fail me at a pinch. As to Bascom, he could never be counted on; while as regards Vera—but at thought of her, the cold perspiration beaded my temples with a horror of what might yet occur on board. No, the burden was mine, mine practically alone. It was up to me to strike first, to assert my authority, and then maintain it. This was the one thing which would impress the mind of the sailor—a quick decision, a swift blow. This very night we must win the ship, if eve® and the first man for me to gain' control oyer must be Fergus McCann. - I reached this decision coolly and de­ liberately, yet with no clear plan of action in my mind. At that moment, Olson sang out some order from the rail overhead, and I could hear the bustle of the watch along the black deck. My eyes distinguished no figures, but suddenly a blaze of lightning seemed ,to rip the sky asunder, and, in the swift, ghastly glare, I perceived two human figures against the starboard rail, safe from observation beneath a boat swung In davits. The man direct­ ly facing me, his countenance illu-, mined for a single instant by the flame, was Liverpool Red. The very postures of the two men. the position chosen amidships, and in the shadow, led me to identify Liverpool’s Companion and guess their purpose. Very wen, there was no better time than rfcw to start my task. Yet I had scarcely taken a step forward when I became aware that their secret conference was over, and that the two were separating. I coald not positively determine the movement in the intense darkness, but I felt assured that one of the two men had moved forward, crouching along the rail, leaving the second man stand­ ing alone. Unquestionably the one thus left would be McCann. I waited motionless until the fellow stealing away was well beyond earshot, and then advanced straight across the pitching deck. The fellow, taken quite by surprise, stared at my indistinct fig­ ure, unable to determine my identity until I spoke. There was that about his figure, black as the night Was, which convinced me he .was the man sought. “Well, McCann,” I said shortly, “you seem to prefer associating with the crew, rather than with your own class aft. ■ What’is the game?” “I was not aware there were any of my own class on board,” he answered sneeringly. “Perhaps you have not yet discov­ ered who are on board. Db you chance to know who owns this vessel and cargo?” “Who owns them!” he laughed coarsely. “What difference does that make?” “It depends entirely on whether or not you have any decent manhood left in you,” I said coldly,’ “and, frankly, I do not believe you have. However, the truth can do no harm, and we’ll understand each other better. This ship and cargo are owned by Philip Bascom of Philadelphia.” “Bascom! By God! You don’t mean it?” “But I do; and more than that, all his fortune is invested in this one enterprise; that is why I consented to assume command, and sail the Indian Chief across to Germany.” There was a moment’s silence. “Bascom,” he repeated at'last. “You learned this from the ship’s papers?” "I learned it from his own lips—the man himself is on board.” He breathed heavily from surprise; then laughed. “Lord, this is some news; Hollis,” he managed to ejaculate, “but surely you hardly expect me to be sympathetic, do you?” • “No, I hardly expect it,” unable to disguise my intense disgust at his tone. “However, Philip Bascom is here, ru­ ined by your persecution, crippled for life by the cowardly bullet—” “Now, look here, Hollis,” he broke in, “if you think I am going to stand for your bullying any longer, you’re mistaken; It’s my turn to talk.” “Yours! What will you talk with— money?” “Perhaps,” he sneered, “and with men also. In the first place, I might as well tell you, I don’t give a d------ who owns this ship. Of course you gave me a jolt by saying that this man Bascom was on board, but, after all, that’s nothing to me. AVe had our fight, and he learned the same lesson others have, that Fergus McCann is perfectly able to take care of himself. Now I’m ready to teach the same thing to Mr. Robert Hollis of Chicago. This is no small boat in mid-Atlantic, where you can bully me because of your phys­ ical strength., .You made a mistake, Hollis, playing me for a fool. I’ve, got your number already.” “You are quite sure of that?” “You bet I am, but Tm npt going to say any more about it tonight. To­ morrow I'll talk with you again.” He turned away, the shrug of his shoulders picturing contempt, and, a studied insolence which set my blood boiling. With the grip of one hand I flung him back against the rqil, and held him there. ‘‘No, we'll discuss it right now,” I said sternly, “but PU do the talking in your place. You haven’t anything to tell me, I know what your plans are already. I know what you are attempt­ ing to accomplish, and I know your purpose. You have found a few 'ruf­ fians forward who will take your dirty gold. To gain control of the others, you have played up the war scare. You think now that the time has come when you can act—is that so?” H e wriggled in an effort to break free of my grip, and I let go of him in utter contempt. • “You would find out,” he snarled an­ grily, “if I called for help.” “But you are not going to call for help, for if you even open your lips for that purpose, you are going to die right where you stand. Take that seriously, McCann. You are endeavoring to in-- cite mutiny on board, and under the law of the sea, I can kill you for it. Now, I confess my feeling toward you is not a tender one, but there is going to be no bloodshed if I can avoid it. AIVhere have you bunked?” D R A I N T U B ^IFYOUOWHA LITTLE FIRDI FORTHElANtfSSAKE I /DRAIN IT WIUTO HAKEIT YiroJ LET US SUBMIT PRICES COLUMBIA CLAY CO.; COLUMRIA.SOUTH CAROLINA.

I had a very seri­ ous cough and cold with a bad fever: the cough w a s exceedingly harsh and so vio­ lent as to give me an irritating sore ti'.rn at with hoarseness and a coijipressed feel­ ing' in tny lungs. The congli reduced my strength and I had to stop work. At the same time I was suffering from indigestion and had to live on stale bread mid milk. My liver also was in a very inactive condition, as well as my bowels. These symptoms readily yielded to the ‘Discovery’ to my great pleasure and comfort.’’—JOHN H. BANES. 434 3. Laurel St.—Adv.

I tried many remedies but found no perma­ nent relief. After taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound I' felt a great change for the better and am now welk and staong so I have no trouble in doing my work. I hope every user of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will getas great relief as I did from its uso.”—Mrs. S. D. McAbbe, 123 Dewey Ave., Spartanburg, S. C.
