THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN: UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIX. MOCKSVnXE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 7. 1917.NUMBER 17 -S STRANGE STORY ABOUT WAR Irish Novelist Recalls This' Remarkable Prophecy of Hundred Years Ago. A prophecy concerning the end of this war. made more • than a hund red years ago. is being fulfilled, ac cording to Katherine Tynau. the well known Irish novelist. She tells the following fascinating story re garding it: • “A hundred and twenty years ago, or thereabouts, there lived in the mountains of Mayo, a man named Carabine who had the gitt of pro phecy" He prophesied among other things that in four generations should be born a woman who would see the greatest war of the world and be killed in the ending of it. Her name was to be Margaret Re gan. At Ballcroy she would marry a man named Michael Callahan and have two daughters and a son. “One day she would be going to the well for water and she would be wearing a dress of checks. Stopping at the well she would be startled by a great noise from the sea and look ing that way she would see manv lights off Achill. Sheshould runto give the alarm'but be overtaken by strange men speaking a strange ton gue and be killed by them at the Rock of the Horse. Ahd that would be the end of- the great war. “About- thirty years ago a fine fresh looking girl came to Ballycrop from the Dale mountains and ob tained employment as a servant at the house of a doctor. Her name she said, was Margeret Regan. She had not heard the prophecy, but she married the doctor’s servant, Mi chael Callahan after a time they went to live in a tiny: log-holding overlooking the sea. She borehim sons and daughters of the prophecy and for many years has been known as ‘The Woman of the War.’ She was not f rigntened by the pro phecy until the war came. Then hearing people' talk of" the greatest war that ever was, she became frightened Sheburntthecheckdress she was wearing and ran away to the Dale mountains; meaning not to return to the plain; but after a time she longed to go back to her home. “Sure, if it’s to be, it’s to be,” she said and she came back. And she got another check dress. “Where is the well?” asked an in terviewer. She went with him and showed, him the well. It was on high ground overlooking the Atlantic, for this, as they say. is “the next parish of A- merica.” The Rock of the Horse is a boulder fifty feet high. “If I had to run to warn the neigh bors,” she said “tis by the. Rock of the Horse I’d have to go, for there is the sea and there is the mountains and no other way out from the bog.” “ It will be of this war,” she an swered,” “for the prophecy says I would be running from them to tell the neighbors when they overtake me and kill me.‘I’m sixty now and if it wasn’t to be in this war it isn’t likely I’d be able to run from them in the next.’’ “She pointed out to the sea. There” she said, “I'll see the light anp then there’ll be the men coming anp me running to tell the people. But sure’ what is to be will be and there’s no good going against it,” She looked down at her check dress. An Old Man’s Stomach. ' As we grow older, and less active, less and less food is required to meet 'the de mands of our-bodies. If too much ishab itually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the- advanced age of 85 or 99, you will find that he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occasionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamber Iain's Tabletsto correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, biit strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. They, also cause a gentle movement of the. bowels. Democrats In Powejr Now.

Tbe first application givesfUflfc and Best 50$»- Get The Roads Ready. Winter is approaching and with it the critical time for the roads of the country. More especially U this true of many.of our Southern com munities that have built top°oil and sand clay roads. Nearly all of these have been subject to a heavy motor traffic during the past summer and much- material has been carried away at places, while at others the dusty condition has produced little ruts. The winter rains will fill these little depressions with water and the heavy wagon trafnc’will cut through easily. On- most of our Southern roads the wagon traffic is heavier in winter than in summer and our farmers have not yet learned that it pays to U3e broad tires. They are going to go on just like they have been, by putting a four horse load on a two-horse wagon upon a good road and cutting through until the roab becomes impassable. It seems* impossible to impress folks who do such things with their folly. The only thing to de done is to try and prevent the damage by gping to work on the roads with a vengeance now and get them in the best pos sible shape. Drag after every fall rain and surface the spots where the material has become thin. See that the pine tree shade is off the roads where they are apt to be bad.* Look after the side ditches and, cross drains now. Unless such measures are taken we are going to hear pro claimed to the world again the abso lute failure of these roads, the only kind some of our counties can yet afford. If they go to pieces it will be because of negligence that is little short of criminal, for it a- mounts to official wastage of the people’s-money. Southern Good Roads has frequen-. tly hammered on' this subject; but it is of vital importance to the roads just now and means hundreds of thousands and even millions of dol lars to the South right now. With high prices prevailing on food and it is important thal no mud embargo interfere with prompt distribution. —Southern Good Roads.

Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitatedjjtu believe it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of a Loxington woman is confirmed after three years. Mrs. F. Miller, 948 S. Main St., Lexing ton, N. C.; says: “I was severely troubled, by disordered kidneys. They acted irre gularly and caused annoyance. Not a day passed, but what I suffered from bockaches and headaches. I tried many medicines, but the results were unsatis. factory until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills They cured the attack.” : DOAN'S ALWAYS EFFECTIVE, , More than three years later Mrs. Miller said: "Doan's Kidney Pills never railed to do me good whenever I had occasion to take a kidney medicine.

COUNTRY A MASS OF RUINS. Soil of France as Well as Sons Dies For The Cause. Exchange. v- Paris—Last Saturday afternoop one of our American aviators hap pened in, literally from the sky. He had been ordered to Yerdun from the Flanders front and had left his machine in some back yard in Paris’ finding he had‘made sucb- good time that he could spend an hour or two in town. And how I listened to the story of that Flanders attack! And how I wished he bad brought the cop' pie Ol hundred dpictures that hr had taken from his spad, and which I eac-.never use and which; you csn never see. He had come down from the sea to Reims over the line all the way; flying rarely higher than 600- me-1 ters, so that he got a full view 01 the entire desolation along that high road of death. “Pqopie talk, of rebuilding that country,” he said. “ I see by the papers that Detroit, and New York, and various other cities are taking upon themselves the generous task of repuilding the cities. But to what use? Youjcouhln’t get “any one to live there, for the' country is ruined. . “Around Noyon and Ham it isn’t as bad, but where tkeshelliug has beeii continual and the ground has been fought over a couple ol times both ways, there can never he any life any more. AroutdPe- ronne, for instance, for a distance of forty or fifty miles, along a strip abont nine miles wide, I don’t see how it would be,possible for any thing to ever grow again, ‘ ‘Ip the first place, the groii ad is fail of nnexplqded Bhells, Why Iv’e walked over the place’ and you have to pe careful where you put your feet. “People in cities have an idea when you talk about unexploded shells that there are two or three to an acre. Up there are two or three to the square rod. Ard the ones you can see are the least oI the trOudle. There are many bur ied at a depth that even rhe new inventors can’t determine, but they would come to light in the harrow ing of future years or the digging for new houses, new cities. ••The ground is full, besides, of pieces of Bhells, old iron, old steel, clotted masses of old1 shrapnel. And it is foil of dead, of old knap sacks, of debris of every sort. ‘!But more important than any these, the top epidermis has gone. The growing part of jhe soil which geologists tell you takesa thousand years to . perfect has been buried and only the unnourisbing, clayey sandy substrata in them which to try to raise the famed French wheat. It’s like a burn—when it is a third degree you’ll never have a normal epidermis any more. I think the day of industry or agri culture aloftg the iine of the front is forever over.” Deposit Your Surplus Cash. Many thousands of dollars are being paid Stokes county farmers for their tobacco, and those who have raised their home supplies are able to bank this c«sh. They don’t have to hand it over to the supply houses. It is right amusing to hear the comments of some of tha illiterate, who are not used to meh unexampled prosperity. One fellow thought the money would be“federate,” or would depreciate in value’ and become worthless be cause the inscription reads:“Fed- eral Reserve noteB” He thought it had some connection witbj Con federate money. Don’t be uneasy boys, the Federal Reserve note is just as good as gold It ie the ob ligation of your government to pay. It will go just us far in the die charge of debts and duy just as rnuchas gold.

Measure of Prosperity is not the dollars But the Days Output in Production. However people may juggle words, there is no escape from the cold fact that the American nation m ust finance tbiB war out of our daily earnings. When we can’t do that we must quit. Every 6hip load of food is the product! of toil, and if sold to our allies is still so mnchj gone. True, we get their bonds, but their bonds will not Ieed us, and injno way can wa turn bonds into food now. All we can hope to do is to produce the food. The bonds will be good some day, but we are giving pres ent products for future riches. Every gun, every rifle, every shell is the prcbuct of toil, and brings nothing to OS but the hope of future safety, I do not belittle that; bnt when our deily wages will not support us and our allies, anp maintain our efficiency at tqe front, we are done. There is no place in the world where we can go and get credit against our future. If this is clear, then there is no real prosperity in our flood of dol lars and our high wageB. Billions of dollars will not buy necessities if there are no necessities 30 be bought. The men who get the dollars will.be wealthy some day —if they can hold until then; but few can. Every raise of a dollar in wages inevitably raises the cost of living a dollar and a half. For the selling'price of any article is the cost of labor on it, plus interest on capital, and some other over head charges.' A raise for one set of workers, then, ouly help them for the moment to get more than their ^share of products, and neces sarily some one else gets less, for there is only so much raised. And this is just UB true when the work ers are employed on Government w.ork, for a wage raise means high- cost and heavier taxes. Over a million men now under arms lessen by so much our ability to produce for our own daily needs. Another host perhaps equally large engaged in purely war work does nothing to supply wants. Ihe rest of ue must produce for ourselves and for them unless some body goes hungry. And withal we must aid our allies in whatever they lack —and that is many things. Theie is no place where we ean take oar dollars to and buy. VVe must make—produce. Humanity has certain vital needs —food, fuel, shelter from the ele ments, which includes clothing. Whoever is occupied in producing any of these is doing his full part. Jnst now we need also soldiers and workers who cannot produce these thihgsfor themselves. We’ must produce for them also. This first, and afterwards all we can spare for the allies. And the outcome of the war will depend on whether we can spare enough. The meas ura of prosperity then is not the dollar but the day’s output. -That only is real. Americans have not only wasted at the garbage can. We have an extensive and crude Systems of dis tribution. We buy fruit from the Pacific instead of home grown. VVe buy Flotida truck in midwint er instead of saving our summer surplus. Transportation, commis sion, delivery, all cost—and' they cost labor that should be directly producing the vital needs. . Gov ernment is now busy reducing the cost of distribution. We can all greatly help of demanding less of it!. True, it will throw mauy out of a jdl); but there is room for all these producing the vital needs— and then some. If we can coax or drive all those who now minister to. our luxuries or our whims into the fiteld of vital production the higkcost of living will be solved; ]qo£jby increasing the abundance of ’^ ““ ,-but by - PbtMluciDgj rthe things we want the money for. At present the ability to pay for all the unnecessaries means depriving some body of his rightful Bhare' of necessities, by keeping a host of people out of production that is real. Food, fuel, shelter, first. Then • war work.. After that, such things as we can find time for. .All the billions that Congress is voting, though expressed in dol lars’ mean in actual fact days labor and,vital needs. Whether bonds or direct taxes, is only a difference of words. There is nobody but ourselves to sell our bonds to, so borowipg for the time to repay lat er. So we most earn tbe bonds cost as we go, or take our capital from productive industry, thereby lessening production, Either way otir luxuries must go; and the man, rich or poor, takes care of his own needs, thus freeing others to pro duce the vital things for those who cannot, who are tfholly occu pied with the war either as fight ing or in supplying tbe fighters, war needs, the more solid , is onr basis for belief that we can outlast forever the German barbarian. Dollars are cheap, and getting steadily cheaper. The unit of valne in this country is . the pro ductive days work. So no man has the right to be idle for any reason.

We sat by the road as the sun went down the other evening. We saw the last rays of light as they gleam ed so bright-across:the Water. We saw. the thousands of workers com ing from the great mills after the day’s labor. There was honest toil written upon every cheek and a proud walk as they hurried home to rest from their labor. AU ages of men and women were there. In some the light of youth and beauty shown brighter than the setting sun. There were maidens as fresn and fair as the flowers that bloomed by the side of the road. There were fine specimen;of young manhood, with brawn and brain and muscle. There were those with silver threads among'the gold upon their brows AU were representatives of a great city that one day will equal Lawell and Manchester, And every one almost was a pure American- pure Anglo Saxon—with American ideals and hopes And all seemed contented and glad to toil for its re wards. We thought that here was a beautiful picture of the typical American. Coming of the best blood of great sires, who made our history in the long ago these men and women are proud of their work and proud of the opportunity" to do their bitin the world’s work. And we thought how much better it was' after all to thus earn an honest liv ing by the sweat of the brow than to be idlers and beggars upon - the charity of a cold hearted world. Today these good people can look a man in the face and say, “I am the equal of any man for I am building up mv country.” Stop these giafit mill wheels, silence the music of these looms and the. hum of these spindles, and you take the clothts from the backs of the world, you leave an aching void in the commer cial life of the nation. There is a dignilv in being a part and parcel of .of such a great industry the , loss of which would paralyze the world. So we give all honor to these toil ers in the mills for they are agents of humanity every hour they toil.— Exchange. • To Cure a Cold in One Day.. ,. Take LAXATrVE BROUO Quinine. It stops. tt»i.

Ds-votioual exerciBes were conduct. 4d.by Rev. Walter Dodd, ot Mocke- v.ille. The address of welcome by M-ss Byerly MeCiil oh, made ail the delegates i< e perfectly at home among theTuireiiiiiie people.

Following the announce- lii^uts, the visiting delegates were assigned to thetr homes aud the afternoon sessiou adjourned. ■ At seven o’clock Saturday even ing the convention re-asstihbled. Miss Lnla Miller, of Cooleemee told of tlie great State Convention,' which whs held at Asheville last May. Next on the program was an address by Miss Lueile Pass, of Mocksville. It is needless to say that her remarks were listened to with rapt attention, as there is not a more enthusiastic Philathea in Davie than Miss Pass. W. A. Sain, of Fork Church, the great Baraca war borse was not on the program, but hi submitted a few forcible remarks on what the Ba- raca class meant to him. The con vention would not be complete it Suin wasu’t present. Other short talks weie made by Mrs. Buckner, of Asheville, G-. L. White, of Cana, and Rev. Walter Dodd. The min utes of the la-t convention and the Treasu I er’s iepoit were then read. TiKi following committee was then appointed to select the time and place I or next convention and to arrange the p>ogram: Prof. John Mioor, Miss JJeiia Crouse and Mr. T. .M.

The roll call and class reports were then in or der. About 30 classes sent in re ports, which showed that the or ganized classes in Davie were do ing a great work. More thau 90 conversions in the classes were re ported since the last convention 6 months ago, and hundreds of dol lars had been raised tor the or phanages, church work, the poor and needy. Prof. Long, of Fork Church, made a strong address, after which the convention took a recess of two hour9 lor dinner. We use a sorry fountain pen, and find it impossible to describe the boun teous feast that was spread for the Iaige crowd present. Needless to say that there was plenty ol every thing and to spare. 0. C. Wall, of Cooleemee, returned thanks and the delegates were not siow in do ing their part. Invitations for the next conven tion were extended from Coolee mee. Cana, Eibaville and Fork Church. The committee reported that the next convention would be neld at Elbaville M. P. Church, ia May, 1918. Mrs. N. Buckner, General Secretary, of Asheville, addressed the convention at two o’clock. Hersubject was “How to Hold The Class.” We are sor ry that we haven’t the space to give an outline of this address. It was grand, and gave the teachers and officers new inspirations aud j ideas. We are all glad that Mrs. Buckoer was with us. The con-; vention came to a close Sunday at j 4 o’clock.

Special to The Record. Advance, Nov. 5 —Our town was shocked about five o’clock Saturday morning by a fire alarm. Mr, H. R- Williams was starting a fire at his home with kerosene oil when the flames went into the can. The can exploded saturating the whole room where his wife and three children were sleeping. Mr. Williams war. covered with oil and the blaze spread over his body instantly. A neighbor heard the calls and hurried there, finding Mr. Williams in the yard trying to get out of his burning clothes. Hejerkedtheclothesfroro Mr. Williams and rushed on into the flaming building to save the women and children. Mr. Williams’ wife and children were rescued from the burning building with slight burns, but Mrs. Williams rushed back into the flames thinking one of her child ren was left behind. From this she received what the physician thinks will prove to be fatal burns. Short ly after the flames were extinguish ed, the flesh began leaving the bones of Mr. Williams’ body. He died a- bout noon Saturday, Mr. Williams’ aged mother was in an adjoining room, and a neighbor ran in when the flames were afl around her and climbing her clothes, and carried her out. ShediedSunday morning at 2 o’clock. The bodies were car ried on cots to the home of Mr, B. G. Williams, a brother of the de ceased. The flames spread so fast that the house and all its contents were destroyed, There has been considerable mys tery attached to the death of a four- months-old infant of W. S. Hilton, The child was found dead Friday morning in its crib In’ a room ad joining its mother’s. The child showed serious brufses on each side of the face and broken skin behind one ear. Themother testified that her husband slapped the child sev eral days ago. Suspicion came up as to how the child came to its death, and the sheriff and coroner, and county physician, Dr. Rodwell, were summoned, and a jury chosen. Dr. Watkins assisted in examining the child’s head and neck to see if there were any bones broken, but none were found. The jury decided the child came to its death through negligence and cruel treatment. A delightful Hallowe’en party was given at the Advanes school Friday night. A play, "The Colored Suff ragettes,” was the feature of the evening. -A box supper, voting con tests on the ugliest man and the prettiest girl were greatly enjoyed. The house of mystery was also an enjoyable feature of the evening. The box supper was quite a success. The money raised during the even-j ing amounted to $2912. It will be ] used for school improvement. ! We left V Letter From Camp Sevier. Co. B. 115 M. 6. Bat. 60 Brigade. Camp Sevier. Greenville, S.

Mr. Editor:—Just a word to tell the Ba- racas and Philatheas how much we en joyed their presence with us Satnrday and Sunday, and hope every visitor en joyed it as well as the Turrentine Sunday school. The day wiil long be remembered by the good people of this community and we eagerly look forward to the time when the convention will meet with us again. We will strive to have better reports than we have ever had before, and trust that other rlasses will make the same resolu tion. While we enjoyed tlie convention to the utmost, several of us (the writer included), showed to the convention that we didn't hear everything thot was said, and created no JittIe laugh wiien we stood up and thanked ourseives for our own hospitality. We tho.ught we were going to sing when we aroused to the fact that we had made a terrible blunder. Next time we promise to try to be m-.re atten tive. (Miss) ROSA McCULLOH. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.

The Germans have retreated from points along the historic Chemin-Des- Dames sector on the Aisne front in France, where for several months the French troops of General Petain had been keeping them sharply to task. Just where the retrograde move ment took place and how far it ex tends cannot yet be told, as the Ger man official communication merely says that the Teutons, “unnoticed and undisturbed by the enemy,” system atically withdrew their lines from the hilly front in this region. The entire line to the north of the Aisne where the Germans were last reported as facing the French is undulating in character from the Soissons sector eastward to the vicinity of Craonne; and therefore it is impossible, from the rather terse acknowledgment of withdrawal, to delimit the* terrain which has been given up. Nevertheless it seems apparent that the Germans, tired of the terrible or deal they had been forced to undergo for some time from the French artil lery and violent infantry attacks, have decided to fall back upon Laon, capi tal of the department < of the Alsne, which with Its network of railways has been the quest of the French. Affidavit Filed by Solicitor Asking Re moval is Countereti by Affidavit from Defendant—Attorney General Manning Begins Argument. Concord, N. C.—Tlie Cabarrus coun ty grand jury announced that they had |ound a true bill for murder against Gaston B. Means' in connection with the death of Mrs: Maude A. King, a wealthy Chicago lady, which occurred near here August 29. After ,presentment of the bill by the grand jury, Means' was formally arraigned in court and made his plea of not guilty. Solicitor Hayden Clement then, on behalf of the state, presented to the .court an affidavit, asking that the case be moved to an adjoining county, in this judicial district for trial. Counsel for the defense announced themselves as ready, and E. T. Cans- •ler presented an affidavit from Gas ton B. Means In reply to that of the solicitor. L. T. Hartsell, counsel for the de fense, then presented affidavits from 15 representative men of Concord, saying that in their opin-'ou a fair trial for the state could be had here. The men .signing these affidavits were the postmaster, merchants, manufac turers. salesmen, bank officials, coun ty officers and others. J. L. Crowell, of defendant's coun sel, read affidavits from several other officers and prominent persons of this place. Solicitor Clement presented affida vits from Detective Willlaim Jones and Oapt William T. Jones, from the attorney general, and a certificate from the clerk of superior court, show ing that since April, 1914. three bills for murder had been presented in this county, in each of which cases the defendants were acquitted. No other bills for murder had been presented during that time. At the conclusion of these, Attor ney General James S. Manning, for .Tudge E. B.

London.—Between 40 and 50 per cent of the German submarines oper ating in the North Sea, the Arctic and Atlantic since the beginning of the war have been sunk, said Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, in the ,house of commons. “We must Jay plans for a long war ” continued Sir Eric. “I see no signs of its being a short one.” “During the last quarter the Ger mans lost as many submarines as they lost In 1916,” said Sir Erie. The output of merchant shipping in the first nine months of this year, he said, was 123 per cent higher than in the corresponding period last year. The admiralty had decided that four new shipbuilding yards would be nec essary. Sir Eric said he regretted it had not been found possible to arrive at a ba sis for publication of British tonnage losses by submarine action without giving Information to the enemy. The losses of merchantmen in Octo ber, he said, were slightly worse than In September. Enemy submarines were being sunk to an increasing ex tent, but the Germans were'building them faster than hitherto. In September, Sir Eric continued there was afloat on the high seas an increase of 20 per cent In numbers and 30 per cent In tonnage of British shfips as compared with April. •He announced the government’s in tention of appointing an additional civil lord of the admiralty, and said the attention of Hie first' sea lord_ would be wholly naval staaff matters. The total net redaction of British tonnage since the beginning of the war -was given as 2.500 000 tons. Replying to the criticism that the fleet had not been sent to assist Rus sia, he pointed out that such an oper ation woud occupy considerable time and that there were extensive mine fields..

A Thrilling Waur Story of the North Atlantic HOLLIS LEARNS VERA’S IDENTITY AND FOR BASCOM’S SAKE THEY AGREE TO TAKE THE SHIP TO ITS DESTINATION 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. AU officers are dead. Bascom, the owner, says he is taking a cargo of ammunition to Germany. Hollis consents to take charge of the ship and continue the voyage. McCann tries to corrupt the crew and Hollis locks him up. CHAPTER XIII— (Continued.) —9— "Amidship.” “Petty officers’ quarters. WeU1 I prefer having you a ft There is a va cant stateroom below. Walk ahead of me to the cabin, and go down the steps.” “Tou’ll pay for this in the morn ing.” “Do not worry about the morning, my man. Trust me to take care of your friends for ward when the time comes. This is Dot my first voyage, . Move on I” Svllenly he left the rail, and crossed uie deck to the companion, with .me trailing a step behind. I was aware that Olscs was leaning out over the poop-rail watching our dim figures, wondering, no doubt, what was occur ring below. I did not venture to glance upward, or remove my eyes from the prisoner. "Below there," the mate called, gruffly, “what’s going on?” “It Is all right, Mr. Olson,” I an swered, speaking quietly. “I’ll explain later. Open the door, McCann, and go straight down.” He must have realized the utter fu tility of resistance, for he never even turned his head, marching before me down the stairs, and across the de serted cabin. I threw open the door nest to Bascom’s stateroom, switched on the light, and glanced within, keep ing my grasp hard on McCann’s arm. His eyes met mine, black with a coward’s hatred. “By God! if you wasn’t armed—” I swung him about in sudden disgust, flinging him forward, and he fell sprawling on the deck, overturning the stool. The next instant I had closed the door and locked it, dropping the key Into my jacket pocket. There had been little noise, scarcely enough to arouse the sleepers below, and it was with a feeling of decided relief, that I returned to the open deck. I climbed the ladder, joining Olson at the port rail. Two men were at the wheel, which bucked sufficiently to keep them busy. "You are off a couple of points, lads,” I said. "Can’t you hold her any closer?”, “Not the way the sea is running, sir,” answered a voice I recognized as Simms’, “unless we raise a bit more jib, and the mate thought it best not to risk the canvas.” Right, no doubt, but hold her down the best you can.” “Aye, aye, sir.” The response was cheerful enough, and I crossed the deck to where Olson stood, in somewhat better frame of mind. “You are Dot exactly holding to the course, Mr. Olson,” I said, but not un kindly, “and Simms tells me you Uiought it best not to shake out an other reef in the jib.” “It would only strain the old hooker to buck these seas, sir,” he replied, and as you had no observation, I hardly thought a point-or two would make much difference.” “Nor does it; only I prefer to be consulted on such matters hereafter. Ton must have had some other rea son?" He glanced about to make sure of our distance from the men at the• wheel. , ujV “Well, in a way I suppose I did, sir ” he admitted slowly. “The watch for ward is sullen, an’ I had no desire to stir them up unless there was some real need. It’s Liverpool’s turn on deck, Mr. Hollis, an’ he an’ I never was no friends. If I was to give an order, and then had to go forward to make em hold, it might start up quite a row, sir.” “Quite a sensible decision. It may interest you to know that I have just cut Liverpool’s claws—his friend Mc Cann is below, safely locked up.”. “Exactly, sir. That was what oc curred on tlie maid deck just now? He was very quiet about it, sir. Is it true what I hear that he is a real New fork millionaire?. And you are not a real sailor, Mr. Hollis, but just a yachtsman?” , H a s McCann.been circulating that yarn forward?” - .. has> slr- Simms just told me the story at the wheel.” • “Wel1- tllPn' Kateu to me, Mr. Olson, and then see to it that the word gets to the crew. I was a member of a yachting party when we suffered ship wreck, but I’m no yachtsman. Tve served before the mast, Mr. Olson, and won every grade up to a captaincy in the old Atlas line. I know the sea and its way from forecastle to after cabin, and any time those lads forward there want to take my measure, the chance is wide open. You understand?” ‘T do, sir,” and I thought there was more respect in the tone. “Good; there will be no trouble to night?” “I think not, sir; but by morning they will begin to wonder what has become of this man McCann, and may grow ugiy.” “We can handle them by daylight. It is darkness which gives them an advantage. Tll return to the main deck, Mr. Olson, and leave, yon In charge here.” CHAPTER XIV. Vera Strengthens My Resolve. I believed I had effectually spiked the guns of the conspiracy—at least for the present. I did not underesti mate the feeling of dissatisfaction for ward, or the influence of Liverpool Red and his more intimate associates; hut McCann and his money were, after all, the main incentive to open mutiny, and as long as I could keep that indi vidual securely locked up aft, there “Is This Mr. Hollis?” remained a good chance of controlling the others. Once we succeeded In discovering the hidden store of liquor and getting it overboard, and with McCann safely secured, the danger element, would certainly be greatly reduced. But was McCann really secured? I could never hope to conceal the fellow, to keep him hidden. The narrow confines of the ship rendered this impossible. Dade and the boy Moon would be cer tain to carry the news of his imprison ment forward in spite of any threat I began to suspect that McCann tinder lock and key might indeed prove a greater danger in the end than he would if left free to roam the deck. The knowledge he now possessed that this ship actually belonged to the very man crippled by his pistol shot would only serve to render the fellow more venomous. Nor could I determine his feelings toward Vera; yet If he once gained ascendancy on board, with such ruflians as Liverpool'and White in control, the position of the helpless girl, alone and unprotected, would be desperate indeed. No! I would hold man and then roUgh it out with the' others. The cabin lamp was turned so low that scarcely the faintest reflection streamed through the glass of the com- PJntlenJ and 1 J as so deeply engrossed In these reflections as to pot even no tice the opening of the door. Her voice thrUL SI<ie ftr°USed me with a sddden IS tliis Mf.

'Tt is some time since I have enjoyed the pleasure of your presence on deck in the night.” “Why refer to that now?” reproach fully. “It Is not so delightful a mem ory.” “The shipwreck—no; but thie first evening we met I cannot forget But you promised to make the mystery of your presence on board the Esmeralda clear?” “Has it not revealed itself?” “Not to me.” “But has not Philip Bascom told you .who I am?” I shook my head, not altogether happy at this introduction of his name, but unable to resent it “But you knew he recognized me; that we had been friends.” “All the more reason why I should remain silent As long as you evident ly preferred that I should not know—” “Oh, but I didn’t Mr. Hollis,” she interrupted. “It never once occurred to me that you were still in doubt as to my identity. Of course at first I thought it safer to guard my secret; I—I did not know you at all then, only by name; you were merely a guest on board my father’s yacht.” “Tour father’s yacht! Why, of course—how stupid of me. Vera, Vera, why the name had a strangely familiar sound from the very first, but I could not recall the association; you are Gerald Carrington’s daughter?” “I am Vera Carrington.” “But I supposed you to be In Eu rope?” “Did papa say so? You must have misunderstood. Mother would have taken me with her, but I had so much I wanted to do in New York. It is strange you should not have suspect ed ; that no one should have told you. Why, both Mr. Bascom and Mr. Mc Cann knew me.” “Not McCann, surely?" “Why not? We have met socially in New York. It seems hardly pos sible, now that I realize the true char acter of the man. But probably you never asked; never discussed me be tween you?” “That is the truth, Of course it was quite impossible for me to question McCann, and I have seen very little of Bascom. Besides, you rather threw yourself on my honor.” “On the Esmeralda—yes. It was nec essary then, for I simply had to keep my presence a secret until we were a safe distance at sea. There were several on board who would have rec ognized me at once, and would have told papa. Mr. Hollis, I realize far more than you can, all that has oc curred through the mad whim of a girl. But for me you would not be here on this unlucky ship. You would be with those others rescued from the Esme ralda safely in New York. Mr. Hollis, tell me, is there real trouble'on board? Is there doubt of your being able to take the Indian Chief into port?” “Why do you ask?” “Because—well, I have heard things; not much, but enough to arouse suspi cion. Theu you had some trouble just now, and locked a man up in one of the staterooms. It was to ask you about this that I came .on deck. Who was the man, and what had he done?” “Our old friend, Fergus McCann,” I answered, deciding to be frank with her. “It was not so much what he had done, as what he proposed doing. He was attempting to corrupt the crew forward by the use of money, and un fortunately, there are some scamps aboard only too willing to make trouble. I felt it safer to nip the scheme early.” “But what—what does Mr. Mennnn seek? Why should he endeavor to buy up the men? IVhat is his purpose?” “To have the Indian Chief returned to .an American port Tll do him the credit of saying that until I told him a while ago, he possessed no knowledge whatever that Bascom owned the vessel, or was on board. He hates Bascom y et and will be only too glad to ruin him. And he hates me, because of what occurred in the boat. This is what underlies his action, no doubt; then he believes money will ac complish anything, and he has found sailormen forward ready enough to do the dirty work, If ho will only pay well “You know them?” “The twp most prominent are Jim White and a fellow known aboard as Liverpool Red, both typical forecastle bullies. I know how to deal with their sort. 'Tl U~ you bave decided what to do, then?” f “I have decided to fight it out, at least I gave you .my promise, Miss Vera, to take this ship to Hamburg if It was possible to get there.” “And there is no other way of saving Wrgorestment iD m s yessel and “I know of none.” T T llea we mnst g« °n. must we not’I I hope you will, Captain Hollis.” nt w ° rei ° ° ? d stop her< or ndd another word, she was gone, and I was apparently alone on deck. Of1fK 1K tm deck greater part of the night, but nothing of an alarm ing nature took place. (The crew re mained quiet, and the ^atch T d S I. obeyed orders promptly enough to give those of us aft a new feeling of confidence. ‘ The sky cleared, although the wind remained fresh and the sea heavy enough to keep two men at the wheel. The Indian Chief made good weather of it, however, and I possessed faith in Leayord’s seamanship. For aD hour, perhaps, I loitered about on deck, but all remained so quiet that finally, with a word to the mate to have me called at the slightest sign of need, I went be low, and turned in. I did not remove my clothes, and the new day was barely reddening the east when I was aroused by a trampling of feet on the deck overhead. There'was no call, and I was sailor enough to comprehend what was going on above — the watch was about to be changed, and Leayord was using all hands in cleaning ship. The activity, the quietly spoken orders, the low chant of a song as the men toiled at a rope, were evidence that my presence was not required, and I felt it would please both officers to be left alone in charge. I opened the. port and looked out at the glorious morning. It was a lonely ocean scene, yet wildly beau tiful. Everywhere was the wild deso lation of the sea, nothing on which the eye could rest ex'cept the restless waves, the constant shifting of colors. Satisfied that no other vessel was with in range of vision, I lay down again. , I do not recall a pleasanter meal at sea than our breakfast that morning. AU were in excellent humor, and no premonition of trouble entered our minds. The night had passed quietly, both officers reporting the crew docile and cheerful. Olson was on watch, but Masters joined us at table, and reported all well in the engine room, and together we drank a toast to a pleasant voyage, al most convinced that before us were only the ordinary vicissitudes of the sea. It was not until the men left the table that I was reminded of our pris oner in the nearby stateroom. “Mr. Bascom seldom takes any breakfast?” I said to Dade, who was polishing the stair raiL “No, sir; I have orders to take him -a cup of coffee at nine o’clock.” “And how about McCann?” “The gentleman in number six, sir? He’s locked in, and I haven’t the key.” “That’s true; I’d forgotten. I’ll look in on the.man; and you get his break fast ready to serve.” I unlocked and opened the door. McCLann was seated on the edge of his bunk facing me, and, it was plainly evident at first view that he was in no pleasant humor. McCann,’,’ I said, as he failed to speak, “let’s have an understanding. It is no desire of mine to hold you a prisoner here for the next month. H l accept your pledge not to interfere with the working of this vessel.” “On what other terms?” ‘That you stop, holding communica tions with the crew, and consider your self a passenger until the end of the voyage. Give me your word to that, and you may have the freedom of this cabin, and the after deck.” “What is the voyage?” “To Hamburg.” He laughed, and there was an ugly sound to it “Pshaw, do you think you ever will get there?” he asked, glaring at me, but making no effort to rise. “Are you fool enough, Hollis, to imagine that the English fleet will ever permit this ship to pass through the Channel? Why, your whole dam cargo, they tell me! Is contraband.” “Who tells you?” “Never mind who. It’s the truth, isn’t it?” “Yes, you might as well know— mostly munitions of war, but contract ed for months before war was de clared. However, that’s nothing to do with your status on board. It is noth ing to you, is It, who gets the cargo, or where it is finally landed?” “It is something to me whether Tm safe in New York, Or rotting in an Eng lish, or French prison,” he said sullen ly. “Besides, that’s not all. I’ve got a deal on there that means more than a. million dollars! I can’t afford to drift about here on this rotten tramp.” The saving of this boat and cargo means more to Bascom than your mil lion dollar trade does to you.” .“What’s Bascom’s affairs to me?” he sneered. "He took his chances, didn’t he? You seem to think I owe the man something. I suppose he told you, or else tiie girl did, that I crippled him for life. Well, he deserved ail he got I Pay my debts, let me tell you, and I ve got some against you to be settled y e t D ont preach Philip Bascom to me.

There’s money enough coming to her to make this a mighty profitable voyage if you can land her in ypur net bJforei she gets ashore again.. By God! I might have done it myself if I hadn’t gone crazy in the boat Now all the part there is left, me to play is the vil lain.” I did not move, or take my eyes from i him, and slowly the grin on his face seemed to smooth out as his sense of humor departed. “Well,” he snarled, “isn’t that about the way of it?” “If the picture satisfies you, Mr. McCann,” I said, “you are perfectly welcome to i t You’ve said enough to cause me to withdraw my offer of parole. I will accept no pledge you may make.” “You intend holding me a prisoner as long as I am aboard?” “You have left me no other choice.” He got to his feet angrily. “Well now see here, Hollis, I’m blamed if I have any use for you, or any of your outfit! I wouldn’t give you my word even if you agreed to accept it. You are going to discover before you are through with me that Fergus McCann is n.ot quite as big a fool as you take him to be. I’ll give you odds that you never take this ship to Hamburg; I’ll give you odds you never get the girl; yes, d you!

No.one else was visible in the cabin. “Dade?” “Aye, aye, sir,” his voice coming from out the forward passage. “Bring Mr. McCann’s breakfast, if It is ready.” “Yes, sir; all ready, sir.” , H e came forward with it on a tray, and I stepped aside to permit him to pass through the door, carefully keep- Ing my back turned toward the mo tionless girl, and my eyes fastened on McCann. “Leave the tray there on the stool, I Dade—yes, that’s a ll; you may go back ! to your work.” I He backed out, but stood hesitating, while I closed and locked the door, dropping the key into my pocket. “Is—is that all, sir?” he asked ner vously. “I told you it was.

Raleigh. Ernest efforts are being made by the North Carolina Teachers’ Assembly which meets in Charlotte Thanksgiv ing week, to have a large representa tion of the schools boards of the State in order that this department may be organized as an integral part of the teachers’ assembly. A committee of the teachers’ assem' bly, composed of A. T. Allen, D. F. Giles and E. E. Sams, has written to the members of the school boards of the State bringing this matter to their attention and informing them of the plans for the meeting. The letter follows: “The North Carolina Teachers’ As sembly is very anxious that a depart ment of school boards be organized as an integral part of. the assembly. The teachers of North Carolina have found the meetings of the assembly very helpful .in the solution of their own peculiar problems. It is believed that a similar meeting of the board members would be advantageous to all the schools of the State. There are many vital problems relating to the schools that are clearly in the hands of the various boards of the State. A frank discussion of these problems and their various solutions might be the means of avoiding many costly mistakes. “The welfare of the schools has such a vital relation to the economic wel fare of the entire State that it seems to us that the time' has come .for boards to begin to get away from the idea of local administration -of schools . and begin to look at the schools from 1 the standpoint of a. state-wide—even nation-wide—effort. I I “Recognizing this need and the need for closer relation between the board and the teaching force, the committee frcm the teachers’ assembly has been very fortunate in securing the follow ing gentlemen to prepare a program for the department of school boards at the next meeting of the assembly, in ’ Charlotte at Thanksgiving: Col. A. H.. Boyden, Salisbury, president; Mr. Geo. M. Rose. Jr., Charlotte, vice-president; Mr. C. H. Ireland, Greensboro, secre tary. “We should like to urge every school board member—for city or county—to be present. These gen tlemen who are getting together the program will he glad to hear from you and to entertain any suggestion that you may make. “It is planned for the school boards to meet in joint session w ith, the county superintendents Thursday ! morning and with the city superin tendents Thursday afternoon. At the first of these meetings Supt. P. W. Horne of Houston, Tex., will speak on •‘The Relations of Boards to Superin- : tendents and to Teachers.’ Separate programs for the department of school boards will be prepared for Friday.” WIienever Yoh Need a General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Touic is equally valuable as a Gen eral Tonic because it contains tbe well known tonic properties oi QUININE and IRON.

Special from Winston-Salem.—Foi lowmg a business session the North Carolina Council of Woman’s Feder- ated Clubs, after planning for the work for the next six months, adjourn ed to meet in Raleigh next May. One of the most interesting features of the council meeting was the address of Mrs. Jane McKimmon, who spoke concerning the ways in which the dubs of the state can help the food administration in its work. She stated that the aim of Henry A. Page, state food administrator, and the county administrators, is not to cut down supplies, but rather utilize what is now being wased of the most desir able foods that are needed by the sol diers abroad. Attention was called to the substitution of corn meal for flour, and the fact referred to that wheat bread was the chief aricle of food in both France and England, and that it was especially important that the soldiers have p! nty. Substitues for meat, sugar and other things were discussed'. Mrs. McKimmon urged the club wo men to adopt the program outlined ,by the department at Wasnington for the conservaion of food, and referred to the splendid co-operation the county demonstrators were giving to the work. In referring to the work of the canning clubs the fact was made known that over 7,000,000 cans of food had been put np this year in the state. Asheville's community cannery pro duced 10 000 cans. Gastonia girls can ned 30,000 and Durham 33,000. Raleigh successfully operated canneries at two mills and at the high school building, and also did a great work among the colored people. Asheville, Greensboro, Winston-Sa lem will be organized in the state demonstration work together witl. oth- ed cities in the state on the same plan as the county organizations. Suffered Several Years. PERUNA MADE ME WELL HT mT Mrs. Elizabeth Reuther, 1002 U tb S t, N. W., Washington, D. C., writes: ‘I endorse Peruna as a splendid medicine for catarrh and stomach trouble, front which I suffered sev eral years. I took It for several months, found my heaith was re stored and have felt splendidly ever since. I now take it when I con tract a cold, and it soon rids the sys tem of any catarrhal tendencies.” Same Old Pricea The voice of an anxious woman called the city clerk’s office on the tele phone the other day, relates the Indi anapolis News. “Is this the marriage parlor?" she asked. When told there were no mar riage parlors connected with the of fice, she said she was anxious to get some information about the “price of marriage.” “I heard some talk about, the price of marriage going up and I wanted to know if they had a standard price dur ing the war,” she explained. She gave a sigh of relief when in formed that the price of marriage licenses had not been Increased, and that most justices of the peace and ministers still relied on the generosity of the bridegroom for their compensa tion for performing the ceremony.

The kidneys are the scavengers and they work day and night in separating the poisons from the hlood. Their signals of distress are easily recognized and in clude such symptoms as backache, depressions, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout. "The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state of health and cure such symptoms,” says Dr. Pierce of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.

Ci BIBNACi Greensboro, Ni O.f c KODAKS I MlWD READING BY WIRELESS Fakir Detected to Be Using Secret Buzzer' Conscted With the Side Pocket of His Assistant. While traveling In Ohio last year I attended a performance In a small town, where a mind reader was giving a wonderful exhibition of his powers, mused a salesman. The mind reader, apparently an Oriental, for he wore a turban and spoke broken English, was able to name every object the audience chose to select for a test; he also named dates on coins, words, and read passages In books and newspapers; It was a marvelous exhibition. The mind reader’s assistant had a familiar look; he reminded, me of a telegraph operator I had worked with In the West. When he came to where I was sitting, I noticed he kept one hand in his side pocket. Tlie as sistant asked rae to give the mind reading a test. Pulling out a y union card, I asked him to name the organization to which I was a member. It was three min utes by my watch before the mind reader answered, “Brotherhood of Railroad signalmen.” The assistant turned away from me as he. held my card In such a way as to bring the side where his hand was In the coat away from me. Thirty years as a telegrapher has made my hearing wonderfully acute and I detected faint Morse signals: Then I rpniized In an instant why the mind reader’s assistant kept his hand . In his coat pocket. He had a wireless buzzer In there and was signaling the mind reader. The buzzer was muf fled with cloth to kill the sound. I also saw why the mind reader wore a turban and stood rigid In one position on a rug. The turban was to hide the receivers clamped on his ears and the rug to hide the antenae that ran under the rug, up behind his back to the receivers. New Fishhook.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1917. REMEMBER the fatherless . A Reasonable Appeal to The People of North Carolina. The people of North Carolina have never failed to tread the path of duty open to them. To each and every call to service, in the interest of home and country, they have responded with liberality and cheerfulness. Heryoungmen are coveriug themselves with glory by evidences of devotion to the flag, in word and action and will give a spleudid account of themselves at every turn of the way towards a lasting peace. Her captains of industry and her sons of toil have opened their hearts to the Liperty Loan, the Red Cross, and the cause espoused by the Young Men's Christian Association. Her noble women have dedicated themselves to the service of their country and are showing to the worlb a love for human freedom that is beantiful to contemplate. Theories of heart broken mothers, starving children, outraged daughters, and tortured fathers, in unspeakable need be yond the ocean wave, have fallen upon sympathetic earB throughout our Christian land, and the spirit of service here in North Caroliua shows that, with our people, the first consideration is tv< e honor of the flag, the safety of me Hation, and peace to all the world. And it is well, for without self-sacrifice true happiness may not be attained in this world. But while the measure of the Nation’s'honor and the Nation’s heart is being taken, in relation to world conditious of today, let us not overlook the urgent needs ol fatherless and motherlfeBS waifs at our own doors; Let us not over look the hundreds of dependent children whom the orphanage ot our State are training for individ ual efficiency and good citizenship. Every one of these institutions needs better equipment and larger support, and every one of them is besieged with applications for ad mission which must be denied for lack of means. Their capacity muat be increased, or else hund reds of children now wandering the highways and byways, subject to every evil temptation the world lias to offer, will be neglected and probably irretrievably lo9t. We cannot—we will not—forget, for the Master sayB, ‘-Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the IeaBt of these ye have done it to Me.” We are admonished to conserve the products of the farm, the forest, the factory, and the mine. Is it not equally—aye,'vastly more— important to conserve the future manhood and womanhood of North Carolina?

A “Model” farmer writing from Hiddenite to the Mountain Scout, published at Taylorsville gives the fore-runner for next seasons rage, so far as get- rich growing schemes are concerned. We suspect that our Model farm er is none other than onr friend J. T. Linney, but whoever he maj be he hasn’t a thing on the potato raisers of Iredell. Much has been said and much has been written about raising po tatoes in barrels. I have never raised any potatoes in barrels, foi that matter. But here is a little experience of that same nature with a goober: I dug a hotel a- bout the size of a large dinner pot, filled the hole with stable manure, put in a' double handful of fertili zers, made a hill like a watermelon hill, and planted a lone goober. The goober grew and thrived was told to cover the blossoms with earth every morning; this I did, and it required more earth every day as the vine spread wider. Hence as I kept piling on dirt from day to day the goober vine was growing upward and outward a! the same time—horizontally and vertically, so to speak. The goob er flourished as a green bay tree. It grew after the manner of an East Indian bamboo; it would throw out branches, and these would take root and in turn throw out other pranches. I became enthusiastic over that goober; I stayed by it in the daytime and dreamed about it at night. If any one wanted me. he new I would be found at the goober hill. Now this process ol Ouilding and growing went on un til the mound was two and one half feet high and six feet in diam a’.er; and the goober vine covered it so thickly that it reminded me of a little mountain covered with ivy thickets. It banged anything in the way of a goober I have ever By and by how ever there come a killing frost and laid the goober low; then with mattock on my shoulder and sack under my arm I went to gath er in tha golden goobers. Now anybody who will take the trouble to apply the simple rules of arithmetic to this goober hill will see that if followed out, it would have been capable of hold ing over fifty bushels. I new noth ing of the rules of arithmetic at that time, however—I have always been a dull boy in books; so I did not count on any fifty bushels of goobers but I did reasonably ex pect four or five bushels. And I thought all that would be neces sary would be to tap the mound and reach your arm in up to the shoulder and rake out the goobers. So tearing away the vine, I dug a hole in the side of the hill, but no goobers. I dug and dug until I dug the hill away, and here is what I found seven goobers, and three of these did not have aDy kernel in them.—Statesville ;Sen- tinel. says: war.” PROVISIONS FOR FREE SERVICE.

Gov. bickett Instructs Exemption Boards Not to-Consider Selected Men’s Pa pers Prepared For Pay. Governor Biekett has directed the local exemption boards in North Carolina not to receive or to consider any paper prepared by any attorney at-law, or any other person in connection with any reg istrant or selected man unless such paper shall contain a statement that the attorney or other persoD is receiving no charge whatever for service performed in.behalf of said registrant or selected man. Governor Bickett insists that, through the. American Bar Associ ation and the North CarolinaCoun cil of National Defense adequate steps have been taken to have all DeedfuI legal services rendered reg istrants anb selected men without cost to them. “In every county in the state,” says Governor Bickett, “the state attorneys will be called upon by the American Bar Association and by the State Council of National Defonse to render legal service, and they will be glad to do it. The attorneys of North Carolina intensely patriotic and the ninety aud nine of them will cheerfully perform these services and regard it a patriotic privilege to do so.” Governor Bickett’s address to all local exemption boards reads: “You are directed not tof6ign any paper prepared by any attor ney at-law, nor to consider any paper prepared dy an attorney or any other person in connection with aDy registrant or ..selected man, unless such paper shall con tain a statement that the attorney or other person is receiving no charge whatever for service per formed in behalf of said regis trant or selected map. “The American Bar Association has passed a resolution unanimous Iy that it is the sense of the associ ation that no attorney should make any charge for services rendered a registrant or selected man, and has taken steps to have such ser vices reudered in all worthy casas by reputable attorneys without money aod without price. “The North CarolinaState Coun cil of Defense has takeD similar action aud is prepared to have all. needful services rendered regis trant 01- selected man without cost to the man himself or to any mem bers of his family.

"Watchman, tell us of the night— What its signs of promise are?” I have been in the churches in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Ar gentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Mexi co, and in every one of there fields there are tens of thousands of men and women today who have no church connection at all, who are like sheep scajtered abroad, having no shepherd. Who dares say that those who love Christ owe no debt to them? The one great need is to carry to them just the two things that they require: the Bible and the living Ghrist.—Robert E Speer. STEWARDSHIP. Since the war began at least fifty per cent more people have died in the non-Christian world than consti tute the combined armies of Europe. As many people die every twelve months in the non-Christian world as constitute the' combined armies of Europe at this moment, and there are forty times as many people in the non-Christian world as in the aggregate armies of Europe. For this great mass of the world lying in this hopeless condition North America has sent out IeEs than 10,- OOO missionaries, counting every man and woman, no matter in what par ticular kind of work they have gone; and 10,000 out of 24.000,000 is only one out of 2.400 of our Church mem bers. I have been going up and down North America for ten years asking for at least 25,000 missionar ies from among these 24,000,000 of church members in the United States and Ganada, and Canada rises up al most overnight and offers 250,000 soldiers for the present war—ten times as many. I have been going up and down North America for the last ten years asking for $50,000,000 a year from North America for the redemption of the non-Christian world, and Canada rises up and gives $25,000 in one year for the war; and a German statistician said the other day that the war is now costing $80,- 000,000 a day. That is as much, probably, as would be needed per year for the next twenty-five or thirty years to extend the Christian propaganda throughout the world. Jesus Christ said: “AU authority has been given unto me in heaven and on earth; therefore go ye.” And the people who confess, him to be their Lord and tell them it is not obedience to give seventy cents a year and one out of twenty four hundred of our Church members to save the world —J. C. White, To Cure a Cold in One Dai Take &AXATTVB BimMO QtTinine. It ueiuess Foster Some Contrast. The late J. P. Morgan once test ified before a coounitteepf Congress that he had frequently loaned a million dollars to a man upon no further security than his character. That saerus to lie the manner in which MhAdoo has loaned hun dreds of mitlioDS to the provisional government df Russia, taking the note of hand of the Russian repre • sentatives ia this coniiry, to whom no authority of the Duma or other repoeitorv of real power had been voted. The difference between Mr. MbAdoo and Mr. Morgan is that the latter loaned his own money, while the farmer loans the, money of the American people. In addition, Mr. Morgan’s judg ment of men was exceptionally keen, whereas Mr. McAdoo is not so uoted in that regard. Itispo;- eible that some men in New York who have known both Morgan ahd McAdoo, might find other points of differntiationa between the two. — Lincoln Times. Tbe question naturally arises— would Mr. McAdoo have lent his own moDey on such security. — Randolph Bulletin. Au Old Man’s Stomach.

While I was there, there were from one to two hundred come into the camp every day to begin train ing, Most of these boys came from the North and West. Numbers of them left high positions in both business and social life, AU of them came eager to begin their training for the great war. I shall not try to give any detailed account of the life on Paris Island. But there is something in it that a Marine will remember as long as he remembers anything. After remain ing in the quarantine camp for a week he was ‘’sworn in,” and found that his time was no longer his own but that it belonged to those' serg eants who were in charge of the companies. It seemed that not a move could pe made but that the sergeant would yell out at whoever made the move. And if no move was made he would yell and curse all the more. And thus the “rook ie” was in constant dread. It was only teaehing him to watch himself. There were many little incidsuts that would make anyone swear—but all to himself, of course—and that now make hirn laugh.

REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE Troops Loyal to Kerensky Are March ing to Capital. London.—The Bolshevik! revolution in Petrograd is reported to be ap- approaehing collapse. Regiments loyal to Premier Kerensky are marching on the capital ,and fighting is under way in the city, according to reports reach ing here from Petrograd. An organ ization which has adopted the name of All-Russian committee for saving the country and the revolution an nounced that the defeat of the Bolshe- viki movement was a matter only of days or hours. The town of Tsarkoe-Selo, 15 miles south of Petrograd, where former Em peror Nicholas lived much of the time, is said to have been captured by loyal forces, after which the rebels retired to Petrograd in disorderly mobs. Paris.—A wireless dispatch from Haparanda In Sweden, near the Fin nish border, says that Premier Keren sky has 200,000 men supporting him. The wireless message, which escap ed the censorship of the Bolsheviki by being sent from Haparanda, says Pre mier Kerensky left Petrograd Tues day for general headquarters, being concealed In the bottom of an auto mobile ambulance. It is understood he was accompanied by General Alex- ieff, former commander-in-chief, and by Foreign Minister Terestchenko. Premier Kerensky now has 200,000 men devoted to him,” the dispatch con tinues. “It is believed h is going to Moscow to reestablish his government there and march on Petrograd. This possibly may be unnecessary as the latest news from Petrograd says a bat tle is going on in the streets and that the Oossacks have joined the minimal ists and are mastering the maximal ists." TO STANDARtZE BREAD AND BRING DOWN PRICES Washington.—Definite steps to stan dardize bread and 'lower its price were taken when President Wilson issiied a proclamation placing all bakeries under government license Lecember 10 and subjecting them to food adminis tration rules prescribing ingredients and weights of loaves. Prices will not be fixed, but with the standardizaion It is expected that natural competition and simplification of distribution will Jorce down psices. Fancy breads will be eliminated and fhe multitude of sizes now produced will be reduced to conform with stan dard ingredients. The weights will be one pound, one and a half, two and four pounds. The loaves will have a lTease in the middle to permit their sale in halves. In baking only three Pounds of sugar will be allowed for a barrel of flour, 'nstead of an average oi six pounds now used, end two pounds of vegetable ■ oil shortening must be used instead of six pounds of lord or oil. The food administration expects to save 100,000 000 pounds of eljSat and Iha same amount of lard. Washington.—President Wilson is sued his ISHJ= Thanksgiving proclama tion, calling upon the nation, even in the midst of the sorrow and great peril of a world shaken by war, to •thank God for blessings that are bet ter than mere peace of mind and pros perity of enterprise. The proclamation, fixing Thursday, November 29, as Thanksgiving Day, follows: “THANKSGIVING—1917. “By the President of the Uni ted States of America. “A Proclamation. “It has long heeu the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year In praise and thanksgiving to Al mighty God for His many bless ings and mercies to us as a na tion. That custom we can follow even now in the midst of the trag edy of a world shaken by war and immeasurable disaster, In the midst of sorrow and great peril, because even amidst the darkness that has gathered about us we can see the great blessings God has be stowed upon us, blessings that are better than mere peace of mind and prosperity/of enterprise. . “We have been given the op portunity to serve mankind as we once served ourselves in the great day of our Declaration of Inde pendence, by taking up arms against a tryranny that threatened to master and debase men every where, and joining with other free poeples in demanding for all the nations of the world what we then demanded and obtained for ourselves. In this day of the reve lation of our duty not only to de fend our own rights as a nation, but to defend also the rights of free men throughout the world, there has been vouchsafed us in full and inspiring measure the resolution and spirit of united ac tion. We have been brought to one mind and purpose. A new vigor of common council and com mon action has been revealed In us. We should especially thank God that in such circumstances, in the midst of the greatest en terprise the spirit of men have entered upon, we have, if we but observe a reasonable and practica- able economy, abundance with which to supply the needs of those associated with us as well as our own.. A new light shines about us. The great duties of a new day awaken a new and greater national spirit in us. We shall never again be divided or wonder / what stuff we are made of. “And while we render thanks, for those things, let us pray Al mighty God that in all humble ness of spirit we may look always to Him for guidance; that we may be kept constant in the spirit and purpose of service; that by His grace in our minds may be directed and our hands strengthened; and that in His good time liberty and security and peace and the com radeship of a common justice may be vouchsafed all the nations of the earth. “Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wil son, President of the United States of America, do hereby des ignate Thursday, the twenty- ninth day of November,, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer and invite the people throughout ' the land to cease upon that day and in their several homes and and places of worship to redder thanks to God, the great ruler of nations. “In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to to be affixed. “Done in the District of Co- .lumbia, this seventh day of No vember, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and of the independ ence ■ of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-second. “WOODROW WILSON." “By -the President: , “ROBERT LANSING, “Secretary of State.” GADORNA RELIEVED 6 y A PERMANENT INTER-ALLIED MILITARY COMMITTEE HAS BEEN APPOINTED. GENERAL D ffi SUCCEEDS H I Rated as one of the Ablest Men in the Italian Army—Allies Aroused to Necessity of Closest Union in Nanv ing Committee. Italian Army ,Headquarters — The conference of British, French and Ital ian representatives has resulted in the creation of a permanent inter-allied military committee. New leadership for the Italian army has been provided. General Cadorna, who has been in I supreme command of the Italian army I since the beginning of the war, has been given a place on the new com mittee. General Diaz has been appointed first in command with General Badog- Iio second and General Grandino third. General Foch, chief of staff of the French war ministry, and General Wil son, sub-chief of the British general staff, will serve on the interallied com mittee with General Cadorna. Among military officers the decision of the allies to create a permanent military committee has caused great satisfaction. It is accepted as evident that the allies have awakened to the necessity for the closest union of the whole length of the western front for the apolitical and military conduct of the war. General Diaz is rated as one of the ablest Italian military leaders. For years he was connected with the gen eral staff. He took part in the Libyan war, serving as a colonel and was wounded so severely that he asked to be wrapped In a flag, feeling that death was at hand. General Badoglio is a northerner. In the war he has been in command of a brigade of- Berseglieri, whose heroic deeds have done much to decrease the gravity of the disaster.

RUSSIAN WORKMEN’S-SOLDIERS* COUNCIL MAY SEEK ARMISTICE Armistice of Three Months is Maxi malist Leadere’s Proposal. Petrograd.—“We plan to offer an immediate armistice of three months, during which elected representatives from all nations and not the diplo mats, are to settle the questions of peace,” said Nikolai Lenine, the Max imalist leader, in a speech before the workmen's and soldiers’ congress. “We offer these terms,” M. Lenine added, “but we eare willing to consid er any proposals for peace, no matter from which side. We offer a just peace, but will not accept unjust terms.” The congress of soldiers' and work men’s delegates appealed to the Rus sian army to stand firm and to protect the recvlution against imperialistic attempts until the hew government had obtained a democratic peace. The proclamation further declares that the soldiers’ and workmen^ con gress will propose an armistice to come into force at once on all fronts.” The congress of the soldiers* and workmen’s delegates in its proclama tion announces that it has taken over governmental authority and says: “We appeal to the soldiers in the trenches to be vigilant and firm. The congress expects the revolutionary army will protect the revolution against all imperialist attempts until the new government has obtained a democratic peace which it will pro pose directly to all -the peoples. “The new government will take adequate measures to assure to the army all necessaries and by energetic requisitions from the upper classes it will also ameliorate the economic sit uation of soldiers’ families. “The power of the soldiers’ and workmen’s delegates will assure the free return of all private, state and ecclesiastical lands to the pasants' committees. * * * It will guarantee to all nationalities inhabiting Rus sia the right of their sons to organize their own future.” OLD NORTH STATE NEWS Brief Notes Covering Happenings in This States That Are of Interest to j • AU the People.

We were alone, and as our eyes met, she advanced toward me across the deck, her hand extended. “I v as only there for a moment, Cap tain Hollis,” she explained quietly, as though in answer to the silent inquiry of my face. “I was going on deck for a breath of air, and when I opened the door heard my own name spoken. Quite naturally I listened.” "Which you had every right to do. I endeavored to got from McCann a pledge not to interfere with the dis cipline of the ship, and offered him the freedom of the cabin and after deck, if he would make such a promise.” “And he refused?” "Emphatically; he even accused me of unworthy motives—you heard thatr She shook her head. “I hardly think so; I heard him offer odds against your ever bringing the Indian Chief into that German port, and—oh, yes, and something about your not getting the girl—what girl?" I smiled, decidedly relieved by the iadc of embarrassment In her manner. “Have we so many of your sex on board,” I asked, “as to leave that In any doubt?” "He—he referred to me! Why, I thought it might be something which had occurred on shore—in New York. Whatever was it he said?” “Why, it seems the fellow guessed who you were In the boat—no doubt had seen you before, and recognized your face as soon as it was daylight. Then, however, it was too late for him to disguise his real self as he had re vealed it Eiis actions had made you despise him, and turn to me for protec tion. Naturally the man judges my motives from his own standpoint He ia aware that I am not extremely wealthy—indeed not wealthy at all by his standards, and that you are your father’s daughter. Because I serve you Ls, to his mind, proof positive of a mercenary purpose on my part—that is alt” Her eyes widened and there was a glow of color In her cheeks. "He—he insinuated that you sought to—to win my gratitude fbr some re ward?” “Yes.” “That my father would pay for your kindness to me?” “Well, Miss Vera,” and I found it -xtremely hard to choose words,' “his thoughts were more direct.” Her face brightened, a sudden gleam •if humor in her eyes. “Oh, that you wanted to marry me! Isn’t it too funny I Do you really think be supposes that true?” “I would not be at all surprised,” I inswered, not altogether pleased at her reception of this suspicion. “It Is wholly in line with his type. To me, • now, the wealth of your father would be the greatest barrier between us.” “There was a time when you never knew I bad a wealthy father, or Indeed any other kind.” “Was I any the less attentive then?” I retorted. “I recall almost an entire night passed on deck in the vague hope of seeing yon.’ She laughed, but flashed her eyes up Into my face. “Did you, really? I wondered if you were there. But then that was merely curiosity.” “The mystery was attractive, I con fess, but I am not at all sure there was not a growing personal interest also. You can scarcely conceive the* impres sion you left on me in the moonlight.” “Please, no compliments. I am so accustomed to those in New York cannot appreciate them any more. You were going on deck?" “For a short time; it would seem a beautiful morning.” - We emerged from the companion to gether, but she lingered1 at the rail, as I clambered up the ladder and greeted Leayord aft of the wheeL It was a broad seaview revealed on every side, nothing in sight but the crested waves sweeping to the distant horizon. The only men I saw were on the forecastle engaged in ‘ clearing up some tackle, excepting a fellow high up in the main crosstrees, with binoculars at his eyes, “You keep a good lookout, I see, Mr. Leayord,” I said, peering up at the fig ure outlined against the sky. “Nothin reported?” “Not yet, sir. Mr. Olson said it was , nil quiet while he was in charge.” He moved over to the starboard rail, with a glance at the wheelsman, and I joined him, understanding the move ment “Your purpose Is to avoid vessels If possible, I presume, captain?” he asked, pointing out across the water In pretense of admiring the scene. “The fewer we meet with the pleas anter our voyage, Mr. Leayord,” quiet ly. “By the way,' your language1 is hardly that of a forecastle lrnnd; seem- iugly it has changed over night’ He permitted a smile to curve his lips. . “Environment, sir, no doubt As bosun, I was a bit careless, but uow that Tve come aft the speech of a gen tleman seems more appropriate. The fact is I had two years at Eton,- sir. “Ah, indeed! Well, I’m not sorry for that It will make our relations aft much more congenial. You are English born then, I take it?” “Yes, sir; a Bristol man.” “This running of a contraband cargo to Germany can hardly be altogether to your liking?” He spat over the rail, and drew the sleeve of his jacket across'his lips, as his'eyes met mine. “ 'Twould be more of a pleasure, I admit, captain, to be putting over a trick for the other side,” he answered, his fingers nervously gripping the rail, !‘but I shipped for this voyage fair enough, and I always held it a sailor’s duty to stick to his ship. Once I’m through with this job, sir, and I’ll do my hearty bit for old England.” “Well said, Mr. Leayord,” -and I gripped his hand. “So far as I under stand this row, my sympathies are all on your side. I may as well explain to you that I have been induced to as sume command because of the condi tion in which I found the owner. As you must know, the man is a helpless cripple, and his entire fortune is repre sented by the cargo in this vessel.” “He is a friend of the lady’s, sir, I heard Dade say.” .“Yes, they knew each other ashore when she was a young girL It was odd enough for them to have met out here again, but stranger still is the fact that this fellow McCann, whom I have locked up below, should have been the cause of Bascom’s present condition.” “You don’t say, sir.” “That is the story as Miss Vera Car rington tells It There was a shooting affray in a New York restaurant, over some woman. McCann shot him and bought his way clear.” “He is rich, then?” “The fellow has more money than you and I will ever see, Mr. Leayord. He’s In the only place now where it can do him no good.” The mate shook his head doubtfully, his eyes wandering toward the men at the wheel. “I wish I was so cocksure of that sir,” he said soberly. “There’s some mighty bad blood forward on this ship, and it’s my judgment we’re not out of the mess yet by a long ways. Those wolves have got a scent of McCann’s gold, and they’ll never leave the trail until they get it.” “You don’t think they would actually attempt mutiny?” ‘They’re not calling it that, sir. It’s the cargo aboard, and your determina tion to land it safe at Hamburg, which is going to make the trouble. There is only one German in the crew, sir— the rest are all English and Swedes, ex cept a couple of niggers. The Swedes and niggers will do whatever the oth ers tell ’em to, an’ the argument for ward, according to Dade, is, that it’ll be no crime to capture this ship and run her into an English port. They’re not ready yet, but the devil will break loose presently, according to. my no tions. Wait until they hear what has happened to McCann.” Well,” I said deliberately, “we shall have to meet whatever comes, Mr. Lea yord. I talked With McKHann again this morning and offered him his freedom She Lingered at the Rail. aft if he would promise to' keep away from the crew. He refused to accept parole, so I locked him up again. Do you suggest any other course?” “No, sir, I don’t,” he said slowly, after a pause for thought “This Miss Carrington now, by any chance Ts she the same lady these two men got to shooting about?” “No, she was not Involved in the quarrel. McCann had never met her 'perso* iUy until we escaped from the wreck of the yacht together.” “She was a passenger, also?” “She was the owner’s daughter.” “Then she’s rich, too?” “Her father is one of New York’s multimillionaires. What • difference does that make, Mr. Leayord?” “Nothing, much. Jikely," he an swered, leaning against the rail, his eyes on the distant bank of cloud, “only maybe we might play money against money in this game, with a fair chance to win. I reckon gold, no mat ter where it comes from, would look good to those devils forward.” Scarcely a manly act on our part to suggest such a thing.” "Well, I don’t know about that, sir,” he Insisted stubbornly. t “I reckon old man Carrington would be willing enough to pay the price, rather than have his girl left in the hands of those fellows. They’ll be no lambs if they ever get control of the ship. But may be you know best, sir.” I left him and walked forward to where I could look down on the main deck. As deeply as I despised the thought of ever resorting to this last suggestion made by Leayord, yet I could not remain entirely indifferent to its possibilities. If matters on board were, indeed, as serious as he pictured them, our situation was far from pleas ant. To keep on probably meant a bat tle to preserve the ship, and involved not only our own rough handling, even possible death in the melee, but also unspeakable horror to the woman left alone, and unprotected, on board. What would be her fate if we failed to up hold discipline, and those unbridled ruffians once obtained control of the vessel? The thought staggered me. Yet I could reach no other conclu sion except to continue the voyage, meeting its problems as they present ed themselves. There was no turning back now. All hope lay In keeping Mc Cann prisoner, entirely Isolated from Iiis confederates, and dealing with th*» men forward with a harsh firmness sufficient to strike terror .Into their souls. The slightest movement of re volt on their part must be my signal for action. The day held fair, with a stiff breeze blowing over the port quarter, and the expanse of sea about us vacant of either sail or smoke. As noon ap proached I had Dade fetch the sextant from the captain’s stateroom, and took my observation with considerable care, going below to work out my fig ures alone, as the many years passed ashore had left me a bit doubtful of my facility. No one appeared to take any deep interest In the event, although I noted a group of men forward watch ing as I disappeared. With nothing to guide me, or check my figures with on the chart, I went over them- twice to be assured of ac curacy, fiually marking our position as carefully as ppssible, and determin ing our future course, Leayord had just been called for his watch, and both officers were upon the after deck, waiting for my appearance. They re mained silent as I approached, and, as turned and faced forward, my eyes observed a largely increased grouping of men about the forecastle, and all staring aft. “Are both watches on deck, Mr. Lea yord?” I asked. “H as there been any call for all hands?” “No, sir,” he answered, his own gaze shifting. “It’s the change of watch, and the second mate’s men haven’t gone below yet. Maybe the cook is slow, or else they are a bit curious to find out where the ship is, sir. Would you mind giying them the figures?" “Not at all; the wheelsman would spread the news fast enough as soon os relieved. We are at fifty-two de gress, thirty-five minutes west longi tude, and forty degrees, ten minutes north latitude, approximately.” “And where does that put us from New York?” “About five hundred miles, a little north of east; Halifax is the nearest port, two hundred and seventy-five miles nor’ nor’ by west. We are be tween the North Atlantic steamer Iane4S and the direct course to the Med iterranean, more In line with the Azores, I should say. Thar accounts for the deserted sea—we’re out of the beaten track.” “How’s the coal, sir?” “All but one bunker full yet; we’ll not steam heavy except tonight.” . “Personally I don’t see any objection to making a try of It,” Leayord added, “but I don’t -know how the crew may feel. This isn’t exactly the sort of voyage they shipped for.” "We may as well test them first as last,” I said determined to have it over with. “Both watches are mostly on deck. Have the bosun call them aft.” The fellows responded quickly enough, a few slouching along in pre tended Indifference, but the majority exhibiting a real Interest Liverpool Red stood directly below me, a step In advance of his mates. His cap hid ills eyes,-but there was an ugly, defiant grin on his face, which angered me. “Well, men,” I said, wasting no tima in soft phrasing, “I’ve called you aft for a straight talk. You shipped on the Indian Clilef for a voyage to Ham burg—” “Who said we did?” a voice inter- nipted. “The most of us was shang- j haied and brought aboard drank.^ ‘That has nothing to do with me,” I replied sharply. “I was not the skip per then; but I am now. Your names are on the papers regularly enough, / and the only thing I need to explain is the necessity for a change in cur sailing course. As most of you know, war has broken out in Europe since this ship cleared from Baltimore. The chances are about a hundred to one that we would be captured, or sunk, if we tried to reach our port through the Channel.” “By whom?” It was Liverpool who spoke. “English or EYench warships.” “It’s a d Dutch cargo-then we've' got in the hold. That’s the way I fig ured It Well, now look here, sir. Smitz is the only Dutchman aboard, an’ the rest ov 'us don’t take Idndly to that sort 0’ job.” “You’re sailormen, and shipped on this voyage before ever win* was de clared. Now will you listen to me un til I get through?” "Ah, let him talk. Red,” someone in terjected. I outlined my plan in as few words as possible, and they seemed to listen respectfully enough, only occasionally interjecting a question. Liverpool did not speak at all, nor Jim White, who had pushed his way forward, until I concluded. Then the latter asked sud denly; “Would you mind if a couple of us had a glance at tliht chart? Maybe we’d see it clearer then.” "Certainly, you can all look at it Mr. Olson, take the chart down there, and point out the lines so the men can see where we are.” They crowded about, endeavoring to gain a glimpse, although probably not half a dozen among them possessed the faintest conception of what the vari ous markings signified. Liverpool and White, however, got down on their knees, and followed Olson’s stubby forefinger closely, us he traced the pro posed course. White appeared rather the more intelligent, asking a question or two before regaining his feet. “I was on the Labradorcoast once, sir,” he said, turning his face toward where I stood waiting, "but that don’t help me much to get this thing straight It’s to be a north course to night then, so as to take us through the steamer lane before daylight?” “Yes.” “And where would we be about day light tomorrow morning?” “I can only guess at that not know ing the exact shape our engines are in, or the probable speed of the ship. But we ought to be close to fifty degrees west and about forty degrees, twenty minutes north, I should say.” “How far away from land?” "One hundred and fifty miles to the east and south of Cape Race.” “Cape Race I” broke in 'Liverpool. ‘T ve heard 0’ that point—It’s south of a harbor called SL John’s. Here it is, marked on the chart, Jim.” He pointed it out with a dingy fore finger, and the two stared at the spot for a minute before they got to their feet again. I waited, but neither spoke. “Is that all, men?” I asked with a glance at their faces. “Al! right then, you can go forward. If any of you wish to ask any questions later I shall be glad to answer them.” They disappeared without demon stration, talking among themselves,, yet to all appearances the conference had not deeply impressed the1 crew. They seemed a stolid, dull-witted bunch, even Liverpool and White slouching back to the forecastle, - with scarcely the exchange of a word. Ol son rolled up the chart, and clambered up -the ladder to where I stood beside the first mate. For a moment he clung to the-rail watching the last of the men disappear. “Well, I’D be durned,” he said al most under his breath. “What is it, Mr. Olson?” “That’s just what I don’t know, sir,” he answered slowly. “One guess is as good as another, sir, but I’m mighty near certain of one thing—they haven’t no intention of goin’ to Hamburg. Even Liverpool and White showed no inter est, except in one point.” “You mean where the ship wiU be to morrow morning?” “Ju3t that; and it’s going to be to morrow morning when they show their hand. Till then, sir we’U have a model crew. That’s the way I see it.” “Which theory looks reasonable enough,” I acknowledged, after pause, “although it’s more my judg ment that the arrest of McCann has left them leaderless. I am not really looking for any more serious trouble. However, we’ll be ready for it, If it comes.” vise this conclusion. The Wtaiber heia fair, and the men worked cheerfully. Now that the liquor was out of them they proved themselves a fairly effi cient crew, obeying the orders of the mates smartly. Apparently the crisis had been passed, and the only problem remaining to confront us was that of navigation. With my niind at rest on this point, I passed the hours of the afternoon largely in my own stateroom, sleeping for an hour or more in prep aration for the night’s watch on deck, and later carefully figuring out in de tail the exact course I should attempt to follow during the period of dark ness. Before the call to supper came, I called on Bascom to explain to him the situation, but found the man stupefied by some drug, taken perhaps to allevi ate pain, and scarcely capable of com prehending my meaning. Satisfied that I could gain no assistance from him, I left the man lying helplessly in his bunk, and returned to the main cabin. Vera did not appear until after Lea yord and I were seated at table, yet she had been on deck during the after noon, and had much to say. relative to the beauty of the ocean scene through which we sailed. It was a pleasant hour we passed at the table, Leayord relieving Olson, but the girl and I lingering in rather Idle conversation before we went on deck. In spite of the pleasant day, and that the sun was still visible in the west ern sky, the air on deck was chill, and I returned below for a heavier coat, « CHAPTER XVI.- \ In the Hands of. the Crew. Theafternoonbrought me increased faith that the imprisonment of FerguS McCann had practically ended the re bellion of the men forward. No doubt the spirit of mutiny still lingered, but without the leadership this had ceased to be dangerous.

I hailed the lookout in the maintop, but the wisp of smoke was too for away for his eyes to deter mine the course of the distant steamer, although as he swept his glasses ir bit -farther northward, they became fixed and motionless.

The fading Ugbt gave me a glimpse of their faces, and I noticed that both Liverpool and White were circulating freely-from group to group. However, the Tnea responded Readily enough to Olson’s ,orders, and sang cheerily as they tailed onto the ropes, Liverpool himself lead ing the way up the ratUnes and out -upon the mainyard as they sheeted home. The stars began to pop out in the arch of sky above, silvering the wa ters, and we could no longer perceive 'what was taking place forward. Tb* night shades settled about us, and the staunch Indian Chief drove her sharp hows through the black waste of sea in a race to cross the zone of danger before the coming of another dawn. Apparently everything was In our fa vor, and I stood there, leaning against the rail, chatting with Miss Vera, our conversation drifting idly.

Bickett Visits Camp Sevier. Special from Camp Sevier, S. C.— Hon. Thomas Walter Bickett, governor of North Carolina, was the guest of DISHES FOR CORNMEAL DAY. It is possible to substitute com- meal for flour In many dishes. The only advantage in using it in cake making is in the saving of flour. In making dough nuts, however, there is an advantage, for they are much more tender when corumeui is added. Indian Meal Doughnuts.—Put three- fourths of a cupful of milk in a double boiler, when hot add' one and a half cupfuls of fine white cornraenl; stir and cook ten minutes; add four table spoonfuls of butter, three-fourths of % cupful of sugar.

To reduce the ‘fire waste’ in North Carolina and its loss of life and property. “3. To teach every man, woman, and child that the annual loss amounts to over three millions of dollars tn property and about 300 lives, and our people, especially the young, until • every one shall regard it as a patriotic duty to prevent them.” 1 School children and eYery man and ; North Carolina troops at this camp I every w>man willing to aid in the up- ; last Friday and Saturday.

Rice browned iD hot olive oil, then a little broth added to finish cooking, an egg or two- stirred in just before serving and a highly nutritious dish is the result. Those who like old flavors in new places will like to try frying oysters, which have been drained and wip'ed in hot chicken t'at mixed with-bacon fat. The oysters are not rolled in crumbs, but are dropped into the fat and Stirred until the edges curl. * One-Minute Rarebit.—Cover the bot tom of a dripping pan with saltine crackers thinly buttered and covered with several layers of very thinly sliced American cheese. Put on the MEALS FOR INVALIDS. Though neatness and care in th» preparation and serving of food are important at all times, there is no time when they mean so much, as during the tiresome days of illness. The desire for j food is not strong and j to<£ often repugnant, [• making eating a matter | of duty rather than a pleasure, and it may be come a misery, if the patient has refined and delicate taste, who has raeals served . in a slip-shod, careless, ill-planned manner. When the patient is confined to her bed a small tabie or bed tray may hold her food comfortably and attractively. A bedside table is not always pos sessed, and the tray may be support ed by boxes or books on each side of the patient whatever the table or tray may be it should be covered with spot less linen as fine as one can afford, whatever one may be able to endure j when well, by the sight of soiled linen, j it should never be required of one who i is 111. Things will amioy and cause j keen suffering of mind in one who is ; III, which.would pass unnoticed by the j person In. health. A person who is ; ill is out of balance In mind and body, I and should be treated with every In- j dulgenee. I Small amounts of food should al- ■ ways be served to a patient It is far • better for him to ask for more than j to be satisfied by the sight of . too i much. Hot things should lie hot on j hot dishes, likewise cold foods should ■ be cold. It is often a problem to carry j a iray from one end of the house to ! the other and keep the food hot, but i a little thought will overcome the diffi culty. A hot dish placed over the hot food will keep it for some time. Tea or coffee if served in a pot, will al- ! ways stay hot longer. J See that, the natient is comfortable, : If in bed before her tray comes to her. Most people know the discom fort of sitting In a strained attitude in order to reach food. After the meal see that no crumbs are left in I the bed. “One of the minor miseries of Illness,” as one writer has said, and often the cause of flic obstinate bed sore.

The arrest of Peter Leach was brought about by the activities of his buxom wife, relates an exchange. The couple were facing the judge.

Not only that; he had contracted the habit of com ing homeJTull of booze” and ,boating his thrifty wife. The testimony, to which the judge had listened patiently for an hour, was brought to a close after which his honor said: “It seems to me, Mrs. Leach, that is a case where prose cution is possible for nonsupport.

WILL POWER AND INSOMNIA Relaxation, Asoisted by 8eautiful and Benevolent Thoughts, Cited as Sure Cure for Sleeplessness. A noted IiygIeiiist tells of a man who was ou the borderland of nervous breakdown and the joy of brain and muscle was fast receding, notes the Ohio State Journal. But he got well and sound again by attending safely to his relaxation. Insomnia was his greatest trouble, and when he went to bed It was to toss and bob around In mind and body until he fell Into a restless sleep. He cured this by re- . taxation. That Is, by yielding his body to the gentle pressure of bed and pil low and not trying to hold himself up by nervous exertion. It is the old doc trine of power through repose, a love ly Idea, but not always realizable. The trouble is one soon forgets the re laxation, and so tries to practice It that he is apt to fall Into a contor tion. The hyglenlst leaves out the main Idea. He resorts to the will power, while the real secret is a resort to the moral power, which means falling un der the sway of beautiful and bene volent thoughts, and then the relaxa tion will take care of itself. One of these methods Is to think of "the peo ple you. don’t like, and then proceed to love them all, and you will find the pillow and the bed will render their full service and sustain all your phy sical and mental infirmities. Desirable Change. A lecturer said In a temperance ad dress : “If I were Providence I’d introduce a change that would, I am convinced, convert the whole world to our cause. “This simple but far-reaching change would consist In transferring the sick headache from the day after to the day before.” Don’t overdo anything.

CHANGE RATIONS OF CHICKS Suitable Mixture Recommended for Youngster of Four Weeks—Va riety Is Needed. Chick feeds, as usually made up, are for small chicks only. A normal chick of four weeks old has in a large meas ure outgrown chick feed. At this age, If not already started on something coarser, a mixture something like the following should bo fed: One hundred pounds of chick feed. 25 pounds of whole wheat, 25 pounds of coarse cracked corn or kafir corn. In a week or two the per cent of chick feed can be reversed and soon entirely omitted. The important tliiug is to change feeds gradually aud let the period'ol change lap over a week or two. Do not try to make the change by giving occasional feeds, as of, say, all whole wheat; rather mix the wheat in, as indicated in the above formula. Any one grain fed alone is not sufficiently balanced to produce ' proper growth, and, on Iho other hand, is so concen trated in certain food elements'as to be detrimental to proper digestion.

Finally one of them, noticing the apparent nonchalance of the man. approached him and asked: “See here, are you a private?” “No, I am an Italian,” the rookie answered. One of the recruits, a naturalized Pole, was being examined by his cap- lain. “When were you born?" the latter asked. “Let set—twent’-two years.” "You mean eighteen ninety-four?” !‘Yes," agreed the rookie. “What month?" The man puzzled over this a few minutes. Then, with a cheerful smile, he suggested, amiably: "Oh. September, October, June, any thing! I no care."

A man’s age was decided in ;i pe. culiar manner before a Gremavicilt England, court recently. The military authorities claimed that a man, GenrK Frederick Grandeer, was not forty- three years old, and therefore still liable for service. The man’s defense was that he was past his forty-third birthday. In support of this defense he stated that he was born on June 3, 1874, the day George Frederick won the Derby, and that he was named af. ter the horse. The defense was ac cepted, and the man was discharged. Island of Mindoro.

We are of the opinion that a sys tem of war taxation as now passed by Congress will bring about an eco nomical condition that the United States has never known before. The taxation for carrying on the war should not be raised so suddenly, An expressive taxation always drive capital into countries more favorable and at this time it would be disastrous to, every industry in the country. Taxation should be kept as low as possible to meet the essential requirements of the nation. For some years it has been the custom of all our people in' munici pal, Stete and National governmen to be as extravagant as conditions would permit. The idea has pre vailed that whatever was needed to supply the extravagance of the gov ernment dispensers was a demand up on the poor people for more money. The administrative policy in North Carolina or the United States would have long ago wrecked any private business in the world. Now is the time for the government and the people to stop and deliberate be fore the country has unalterably embarked upon a policy of economic bestruction. Modifications in gov ernment have been wrought by ex cessive taxation and it is not im probable that such things may hap pen again. We cannot fore see what the high’cost of living, lack of em ployment and hard times may drive a dissatisfied people to.;jtNow is the time to collect only such taxes as are absolutely necessary and distribute them with Jthe utmost economy.— Clinton News Dispatch.

This terri jle war is one that Ftaace did not Iesire1One that she endeavored to !void. Iu iact all Europe sought I escape the catastrophe, and this |as shown by a comparison of the nount of preparation carried on i the various countries. Germany Saving done three times as much i any other European country. Even to start the war Germany Ssed false pretense, making use of Iu alleged instance of firing on the part of French troops that since lave been proven never to have !cured. Since then Germany has Las waged the war with a ferocity Li the uttermost, with an absolute Disregard of all the laws of pity Iud humanity. The Huns of old Jhowed some pity. The Huns of oiky'show none at all. FTot only Bo they wage war against the men lfthe fighting lines who oppose lhern, but they wage it equally a- gaiost old men, against women and pgaiust little children. In the French city of Lille the Germans prdered all i oys and girls of over ill years of age to assemble for de portation within the short space of Sn hour and a half. Families ■were severed. Fathers were torn Jrom wives afld children. Boys ol Jtender years were torn from their “others. Young girls in the first tyootnof maidenhood were ravished Ilrom tbeir homes with no more !protection save that offered hy Prussian soldiers. Frauce saw her ■sons aud daughters taken away into slavery, and into worse than !slavery. Against this France has waged Iwarwith all its power, with Iitsmeaits women and even its |chi!dren fighting against the Iior- jaor of the Moche. Even the most Iobscure have had a dream of the IrVisiOii which France demands and I have given freely all their strength.

One of the party jumped up quickly aud ran to the machine. When he turned up the laprobe a gallon kerosene can was noticed prostrate on its side and a liquid flowing fastly from its spout.

Raleigh, Nov. 6.—The calling of a special session of the North Carolina generalassemblv for the purpose of enacting a dog law has been suggested to Governor Bickett by a well known Eastern North Carolina lawyer. The" eastern at torney asserts that the dogs ol North Carolina consume more food stuffs than would be required to keep the state’B quota of soldiers well fad. There is no doubt much truth in the attorney’s statement but Gov ernor Bickett will hardly see fit Io call a special session of the legisla ture for the purpose ol enacting a law which it has shied at repeat edly at regular sessions. The Gov ernor, however, is in sympathy with the idea of doing away with useless dogs. Thousands of fami lies in the state which are hardly able to provide suitable food for children keep from CWo to six dogs. —Winston Sentinel.

Governor Bickett is.Criticised For Com- mutating1 Sentence of Murderer. The Sentinel has had occasion once,or twice recently to commend most heartily Governor Bickett’s exercise of thei’pardoning power vested in him by the state consti tuMon. However, in his action in commuting ;to^ life imprisonment the death sentence imposed upon Charlie Walker, of Caldweli coun ty, he does not seem to us to have shown the degree of wisdom he us nally displays in the handling ol such matters Webelievethecom mutation of Walker’s sentence is not conducive to the best public policy and that it may establish a more or less dangerous precedent. Walker is the young white man convicted some months ago of the cruel murder of Florenoe Sutphin in the outskirts ‘ of Lenoir. He had been the sweetheart of the Iat ter, it seems, and had been jilted. The girl bad refused to see him any more. Enraged at the with drawal of her affections, Walker waited for her and shot her while she was walking in the road near her home. Themurderwasadia bolical one, according to the evi dence, seemingly without any sug gestion of provocation, except vio lent anger, Iu assigning his reasons for com muting the death sentence to lile imprisonment, Gov. Biakett says the young man was only nineteen years old when he committed the crime, quite old enough to know better, however. He dwells on Walker’s intense love for the girl and the shock her refusal to see him any more had caused. He refers to the fact that he was al most crazed with grief and that he was uot in a frame of mine to rea lize fully the consequences of his act. Strong as these reasons foi executive clemency may have ap pealed to the governor, however, we do not believe they will appeal to the majority of citizenB who be lieve in a strict enforcement of the law against minder, and who do not think that sentimentality should take the place of logic in the disposition of such matters. The commutation of Walker’s sentence will, it seem9 to us, be calculated to eotablish a rather dangerous precedent. It may en courage others who in moments of rage may feel disposed to do so to commit acts of violence, depend ing upon executive clemency to save them from;the f UlliConsequen- cesof tbeir rashness. As to the argument that Walker committod the murder as a result of resent ment and rage, it may be replied that people who commit murder seldom do so except for those reasons, but yet the law has not recognized that as a valid excuse. To base clemency upon . such giounds is carrying it too far. Strict enforcement of the law b essential to the largest degree ol respect for the law. There ar* entirely too jnany murders in North Carolina and we believe that one of the very best ways to stop this homicidal mania is to let would be murderers know they may expect to receive the limit ot the law as a penalty for theii crime. Certainity of adequate pnnishment cannot but be one ot the strongest possible factors in de terring people who might Otherx wise commit crime. We have a law in this state pro viding for the penalty of death in cases of first degree murder. There has been agitation at times for a change in this respect but so far no change has been made. Until it is we feel the extreme pen alty. except in case where newly discovered facts make it probable that grave injustice would be done, should be exacted for first degree inuider. We believe that more frequent executions wonld do more than any thing else to check mur der in North Caroliua as well as iD other Btates. Of'course Governor Bickett, in granting the commutation . under discussion, acted in the way he thought best for society and the state. He is a man of ability and usu‘->lly sound judgment, with love for his fellow man and the best in. terests of the commonwealth ai heart. However, we cannot but feel that in this < matter he has made a mistake, altho, as we had occasion to say recently, it is de cidedly easier to criticize an official who is . constantly confronted by big problems than it would be to solve those proplems. That is a point that might well be borne in mind when we are inclined to judge rather haVshly.—Winston Sentinel. ABHORENT TO OWN SOLDIERS.

HUNTLEY HILL -STOCKTON CO., Winston-Salem, N. C Letters to Gerard Implored Him to Pro test Against Terrible Atrocities. Washington, Nov. 5.—Tbe fact chat German soldiers, tbemselves appealed to AmbassadorGerard ac ‘the representative ot a Cbristia- <tate” to protest against atrocities and butcheries in which tbeir com maoders forced them to.participate will be disclosed in a forthcoming issue of a pamphlet by the commit tee on public information entitled “German War Practices.” One German soldier, conseience- •jtricken'with the massacre of Rus sian.’prisoners, implored the Amer ican ambassador to protest and signed his letter “A German Sol dier and Christian.” Another, who, through the am bassador, addressed his appeal to the American government against the butchery of prisoners, signed his letter “A Soldier and Man Who is No Barbarian.” This was^the protest .of a Ger man soldier, au eye witness of. the slaughter of Russian soldiers in the Masurian lakes and swamps: “It was frightful, heart-rending as these masses of human beingB were driven to destruction. A- bovz the terrible thunder of the cannon could be heard the. heart rending cries of the Russians: 0, Prussians, ‘O, Prussians’,— but there was no mercy. Otir cap tain had oidered; The whole lot must die; so rapid fire.’ As I have heard, five men and one officer on our sibe went mad-from these heart rending cries. But most of my comrades aud the officers joked as the unarmed and helpless Russians shrieked for mercy while they were being suffocated iu the swamps and being;Sl)Qj.,dpwn. - -The order was: Cfose up and at it harder. For days afterwards those lieaat- rending yells followed me and I dare not think of them or I shall go mad. There is no God, there is no morality and no ethics any more. There are no human beings any more, qut only bea6ts. Dowu with militarism.” This was the experience of a Prussian soldier at present wound, ed. “Berlin. October 22, 1914—Ii yon area truth loving man, please receive these lines frornja common Prussian soldier.” This was the testimony of anoth er-Germau soldier on the seat front: . “Russian Polaud, December 18., i»14. “In the name of Christianity I seud you these swords. ‘•My conscience forces me as a Christian German soldier to inform you of these lines. “ Wounded Russians are billed with the bayonet according to or ders. “And Russians who have sur rendered are often shot down in ‘masses according to orders, in spite o:- their heart-rending prayers. “In the hope that you, as the representative of a Christian state, will protest against tbis, I sign myself. “ A Germsn Soldier and Christ- isa.” “I tyould give my name and reg iment, but these words could get me courtmartialed for divulging military secrets.” This letter was from a soldier on the western front: “To the American Government, Washington, U. S. A.: “Englishmen who have surren dered, are shot down in small groups. With the French one is more considerate. “ Liisk why men let: themselves be taken prisoners in order to be disarmed and shot down- after wards! Is that chivalry in battle! It is no longer a secret among the people: one hears every where that few prisoners are taken f they are shot down In small groups. They isay naively, ‘We .don’t want any unnecessary mouths to feed.’ Where there is no one to enter oomplaint, there is no judge. Is there no power io the world which can put an end to these murders and rescue the victims? Whereis Christianity?

The^boy Vagrieultural' clubs of North Carolina will place an exhi bit of corn at the Texas State Fair —Kaufman Herald. At. firsLithought','it" may seem like effrontery on the part of North Carolina boys t > offer a grain exhi bit To texans, North Carolina bays have ho black waxy prairies on •vhich to grow corn. They have sandy uplands, narrow creek bot toms, clay bills and coastal “flats” upon;-to ,raise their corn. Their farms look very much like East Texas farms, with the same native gaowths’ the same character of soils, and mostly the same cultiva ted crops. But the ilprth Carolina boys know how to , really farm. They have beep tanght modern farming, and they are progresfive in their methods. The result is that they do not’regard 50 bushels of corn an acre'as an)nnusual crop, and fields that turn out less than half a bale of cotton an acre are re. garded as slackers. The North Carolina boys fertilise scientifical ly with leguminous and other greeu . erops and with commercial fertili zers whose composition they know and whose properties they desire for particular purposes. A North Carolina boy thinks nothing of spending six or seven dollars an acre tor a commercial fertilizer to put under his cotton crop; aad after he has put it there he expects a-bale-to the - acre.,-This sorts of— farming is ,an outgrowth of ebndL'' •* tioos which existed twenty-five or thirty years ago, when hit-or-miss farming had so impoverished the Tamers that they had either to im prove their methods or quit trying altogether. They chose the former plan. And today they are per haps the most prosperous and self- satisfied farmers iD America. They have nice homes, well kept premises, automobiles, attractive schoolhouses and churches in the country as well as in the towns, well-dressed children,and an en-‘ lightened desire for sensible edu cation. They are self-contained self reliant, neither restless politi cally nor ambitions for display ar home. They appreciate comfort and enjoy it, but there are million aires iu: North Carolina who make less Of a parade than some ten- thousand-dollar men in other Stales. One reason for this is that North Carolina, being an old state, offers little chance for the fienZied tiuaucier, therefore money must be obtained slowly and with effort, in consequence of which those jvho get'it acquire conservatism in the process.—Dallas (Texas) News. An Old Man’s Stomach. As we grow older and less active,. less , and less food is required to meet the de- mands'of our bodies. If too much ishab itually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the advanced age of 85 or 30, you will find tbat' he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occasionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamber Iain’s Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do hot contain pepsio, but strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels.

Is there a meaner man living than the fellow who will take a paper two or three years on a credit and then send it back to the e'ditor marked "refused?” Yes, there is one man a little meaner—the fellow who will rob his mother and then murder her to cover up his crime. It is up to the Board of Road Com missioners of Davie county to get busv and erect sign boards on all public roads. This law was passed many months ago. Mr. Boyles tells us that he has placed the sign posts throughout Shady Grove township The six remaining townships should get busy at once as the matter has already been placed before the Su perior Court Judges. The Winston Journal thinks Gov. Bickett did thefright thing when he commuted the death sentence of Walker, the Caldwell county man who murdered his sweetheart in a cold blooded manner. Practically ev^ry one we have talked with con cerning the matter, thinks the Gov ernor made a grave mistake. Isn’t the editor of the Journal Governor Bickett’s private secretary? j be long and that every mother will soon have the pleasure of seeing her son back home to stay. But desnite the fierceness'with which the Ger man shells mow down men, they are not as destructive as the diseases which are contracted in army life, and most diseases are caused by dis sipation and uncleanliness. If evtery mother could send forth her son with full assurance that whatever temp tat ion came her son would be true, pure and holy, many an anxiety would be eased. S^There are many worsi things than being dead on a battlefield. To for liberty is honorable but to die untrue to God means annihilation of soul. This wfir is thegreatost of all wars —great fundamental principles are in the balance and will be settled for right or wrong. It is a long, long road to that much desired goal of freedom of mankind. The most dangerous enemy to civilization, to humanity, to liberty that the world has ever known must be crushed be fore we can return to our peaceful pursuits, and men and women of the great democratic nations may turn away from making munitions of war. In that happy, far-off day it will be possible for Frenchmen and Belgians, contempluting their ruined villages and their wasted fields, to say a prayer that was made by Theocritus of the Greeks twenty- two centuries ago. It is just as fresh, just as poignant, just as mov ing and just as true today as when the poet wrote it. “I pray that all the towns the hands of enemies have laid so utterly waste mav be inhabi ted again of their ancient peoples, and their fields cultivated and made to bring forth abundantly, • their pastures filled with the bleating of fat flocks in their millions, and the twilight traveler warned to hasten his steps by th“ home going of in numerable heads; and I' pray like wise that against the time when the cricket is fain to sing high in the twigs overnead because of the noon tide resting shepherds against that! time, the time of sowing, none the fallows be left unturned of I for Wheat May Gp Lower. With a world wide demand wheat, farmers who think that be cause the Government is paying a* round $2.20 per bushel at basic mark ets, they can hold indefinitely, may be inviting a drastic order made to compel them to sell. Under the food control act the president has the power to commandeer the grain if necessary: and while there has' been no intimation that such would be done, nevertheless there is a grow ing demand in certain quarters that the “slacker” who fai's to co-oper ate with the Government shall re ceive considerable attention seeing that other major products, such as sted, copper coal, etc., are under Government regulation and price, with the manufacturers pledged to use every effort to maintain product ion at a high level.. Numirous wavs and means are sugge&ied-to make farmers-eell their whe&t. The latest is to have the food Administrator reduce the price 5c per bushel, after Jan I, and 5c per buf. every month until $2 i= reached, the latter being the guaran teed fixed level for the 1918 crop. Canadian farmers are apparently far more free sellers than those in this country, and are rushing their grain to market in volume, in order to move it down che lakes before close of navigation, the visible supply there the dast week more,than doub ling, the total being far in excess of the domestic showing, which is rath er surprising when the size of the two crops is considered. While farmers in the United States have been forced to give con siderable attention to w2 nter wheat plowing and seeding and the acreage Has undoubtedly increased heavily., woich is an excellent thing, they should also market a little more grain. It may be one thing to want to sell and another' to ship later in the season, as the car shortage this winter promises to- be the most se vere ever known. Minneapolis mills are grinding at only 60 per cent of capacity, as the Eastern mills must be given considerable wheat before lake navigation closes.—Grain Re porter. Some Made Elsewhere.

The Teachers’ Association of Davie Cj., held its first meeting of the year at the Mocksvills graded school Saturday. The mO!t iinrortnut feature of .the meeting was Dr. Cooper’s lecture on phy sical conditions of children- Kr port blanks were distributed arid Dr. Cooper showed how the physical condition ol’ each child was to be tv ted.

She found the teachers only too willing to'render h«r all assistance pos Srihle iu selling Christmas seals. Letter From Camp Jackson. I guess a great number of people in Davie are interested in Camp Jackson, and the conditions under which we live. Of course it is im possible for anyone to picture how we have to do. The work is not so hard; most of the boys had to' work harder at home, but to face all. the trials and temptatious, to obey , ex plicitly every whim of the officers is a task. A great deal depends',up on the kind of officers you happen to fall under. From what I have heard most of the officers are kind and just. You know the orders of war have to be obeyed without a mur mur. A boy may tell his father be wiil not do so and so, but he will not tell an army officer he will not mauy times. . .. , The Y M. C. A. is the greatest agent for good and for furnishing amusements for the boys. They fur nish shows at a big tent for 10c. that; would cost 50c. in town. We have singing every morning from 11 to 11:30 o'clock. I want to assure you that the sol dier boys from Davie appreciate your sympathy, and a kind letter will often encourage a brave heart that feels sometimes that they are forgotten. You may not believe in this war, but you can never get a- way from the fact that your sons are having to face the greatest crisis the world has ever had. If we fail! to, perform our duty well and winj against Germany, it is sure that you j will live under the rule of Germany. Every word, action and deed that you do to strengthen the spirits of vour soldier boys, will'be that much towards hastening the end of the .war. War has been declared so we must either fail or surrender the liberty for which our fathers fought ■ in ’76 % f t'think the people of Davie may * depend upon the loyalty of her sons,' despite the great dislike we have for 5 . war and deplore a condition of af-1 fairs that takes us away from home, I from loved ones, from useful pur suits to a profession which none of us would have chosen.

The order shows some change from the tentative draft published some*, time ago. Contrary to some published reports, it does not exempt married men* as a class, but it does place married men with dependent wives and children far down on the list of liables. In fact, the questionnaire indicates that only men of the first class will be called to the colors, except in the gravest emer gency. The five official classifications of registrants follow: CLASS I.

DEUTCUD’S TRIP IS CITED Brief Notes Covering Happenings in This States That Are of Interest.to AU the Peopfe. State road officials visited Ridgecrest road last week. the Speakers Believe That Submarine It self Will Be Best Defense Against German Undersea Boats—Other Ex- j amples. New York.—Predictions that enemy submarines will soon make their ap-. pearance off American ports, that the submarine will be found to be the best antidote for the submarine, and that the great world powers in the near future will have flotillas of “con- tra-submarines,” especially built for operating against undersea craft, were made by speakers who addressed the annual conventions of the Society of Naval Architectes and Marine Engi neers here. Simon Lake, the inventor, pointed to the possible danger to American shores from the submarine menace. He cited the trans-Atlantic trips of the merchant submarine Deutschland and the activities of the U-53 off the North Atlantic seaboard as examples of what is possible with the subma rine. Commander E. S. Land of the_Unit ed States navy, took issue with Mr. Lake when the latter said he did not believe the submarine could be ef fectively used against the submarine. “A submarine can fight a subma rine as well as a battleship can fight a battleship,” said the commander. Though he said foreign tendencies In submarine construction were, toward ' displacements of 2,000, 3,000 and even 5,000 tons, Commander Land declared his belief that craft of the 800-ton type are now being most generally built because of. their I adaptability for all-year use.- I Marely F. Hay predicted the de- ; velopment of a “contra-submarine,” or a submarine-fighting undersea boat which would do most of Its work while submerged. I Estimates that Germany had In commission over 700 submarines last May and that she would have in serv ice a- total of 1,200 under sea craft by \ the end of the year, were discredited by Mr. Hay. j “It does not seem possible that j Germany had more than 200 subma rines in cpinmission last May,” he ’ said, “informaifon at hand would: Indicate that the .actual recent output , has*been approximately ten subma. I rines a month.” Badin is again taking on renewed proportions and foundations are being laid for more additional dwelling; houses.

CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —11— “I know It will, if you remain on deck,” she answered earnestly. “I—I have learned to trust you.” The hours of the night gave me am ple opportunity for-thought, and care ful consideration. The wind held steady, and while the sea roughened somewhat this slight change was not sufficient to diminish our progress, or cause any swerving from the course set AU remained quiet forward, the watch on deck finding little to do other then their routine duties, and no mem ber of'the crew had any occasion to come aft except those detailed to the wheel. There seemed no reason why I should remain on deck, yet the respon sibility rested upon me, and the impor tance of the night’s run prevented my having any wish to retire below. How ever, I found no occasion to interfere with the operation of the ship, and re mained mostly on the main deck, where my watchfulness assured me there was no communication passed' between forecastle and cabin. The fog grew steadily more densp, until at dawn, we were steaming reck lessly through a thick cloud of vapor, barely able to observe the surface of "Lie Still, D You!” the sea, dull, sodden gray, a few. yards in advance of our bow. The dense, watery folds swept along our sides, and the rigging dripped moisture onto the glistening deck planks. It was a gloomy, - dreary morning enough and, even as the light of early dawn strengthened, I could scarcely distin guish a thing forward of the main mast However, there was no slowing up of speed or sounding of siren. Con vinced that we were now safely to the north of the usual course of ships, I preferred- to take the chance of possi ble collision. My eyes were heavy from lack of sleep, and long staring out through the black night; my senses dulled by hours of inaction, during which nothing un- ' usual had occurred to arouse me to realization of impending danger. I no longer even suspected trouble, or any active hostility forward. With the dawn the density of fog enwrapping us seemed to increase, and completely blot out every glimpse of sea and sky. Bven Leayord leaned over the rail just above me, could scarcely be dis tinguished as a man, and evidently his eyes could not make me out at all, for he hailed doubtfully: “Are you still on deck, Mr. Hollis?” “Yes,” I answered, staring, up at his shadow. “A bad fog.” "It is, sir. Would we better reduce speed?” “No, not yet; I am counting on open water, and would rather chance strik ing a stray than risk being overhauled by a British cruiser. The sun will split this mist before noon, and'mean while we must make all the northing possible.” • I heard his “aye, aye, sir,” as I crossed to the port rail. I had reached a point nearly opposite the broken stump of the foremast when I was sud denly confronted by two blurred fig ures emerging noiselessly from the deeper shadow cast by a quarter boat swinging in davits. The fellows must have known who I was, and the path of my approach; no doubt had been dose enough aft to overhear my con versation with Leayord. At least they Were on me before I truly realized their near presence—the one gripping the arm I ilung up in startled defense; the other driving his fist straight into my face, a sledge-hammer blow which sent me crashing back full length on the deck. Stunned, dazed as I was by this vicious attack, I made an instant’s struggle, but was quickly crushed back, a merciless hand gripping my throat. Almost at the same moment the revol ver was removed from my pocket, the cold muzzle thrust against my cheek. ‘TAe still, d you!” muttered u tense voice, and I knew the speaker for Jim White, “or I’ll blow the whole top o’ yer head off." I retained sense enough to obey, White’s knee pinning me to the deck, but some sound of my fall must have carried aft, for Leayord sang out through the fog: “Forward there! What’s all that racket about?” White’s fingers choked me into help less silence, his knee crunching hard into my breast. It was Liverpool Red who answered sullenly: “I knocked over a capstan bar, sir; never saw it in the bloomin’ fog.” Leayord growled something, the words failing to carry to us against the wind, but a moment later, satisfied that no further investigation was to be made, Liverpool thrust White aside and lifted me to my feet, his eyes glaring into mine. “One whimper from you, an’ yer overboard,” he muttered hoarsely. “Take it from me we know what we’re about. Come on now, an’ don’t attempt nuthin’. There’s nobody forard here ter give yer a hand. Take him by the collar, Jim.” With White’s hand gripping me, and my own revolver at my head, any at tempt to break away would have been simply suicide. The thick fog hid the scene from those on watch aft, and that the two men were reckless and desperate, their plans well laid, was evident The gray light revealed their faces, and there was no mercy in the scowling eyes. ‘Forward yer go, sir!” growled White, his fingers twisted in the jacket collar. “It’s little more yer’l hav’ ter say aboard this hooker.” “What do you propose doing? This is mutiny, men.” “Then It’ll have to be mutiny. It’s war, an’ we’re Englishmen; this ship’s loaded with war stuffs, bound fer Ger many. That sort o’ talk means nuthin’ —so come on, and stow that gaff.” - They forced me around the bulk of the windlass to the head of the fore castle stefs, slid’ back the door In its grooves and thrust me staggering down into the murky depths below. A slush light, swinging to a blackened beam in the deck above, cast a ghastly yellow ish glare over the interior, revealing to me at least two-thirds of the crew, Clustered about, evidently awaiting some such event. White held to my collar, but Liverpool closed the en trance, shutting out even that faint breath of pure air, before speaking a word. “Well, we’ve got the main guy, lads, an’ no shindy,” he said cheerfully, “an’ a gun came with him. Now a few o’ us will see if we can persuade the first mate into taking a trip forward.” “Where’s Billy Olson?” asked a voice. “Oh, he’s asleep below; there’s plen ty o’ time to attend to him, an’ we’ll let the engine-room gang alone till we get control o ’the deck. Simms, you an’ Harris better come along with Jim an’ me on this job., Leayord is a husky buck, an’ we might not get him foul like we caught Hollis here. We don’t want to hurt nobody unless we have to. Where’s the nigger Watson?” “Right hyar, snh.” “Gome on, then; It’s your trick at the wheel in five minutes; the rest o’ you fellers know yer business.” The fivejnen slipped out cautiously, sliding the door shut behind them, and I stared about into the faces of those left with me, still dazed by the rough handling to which I had been subject ed, yet fully aroused to the fact that the attack upon me had come from no sudden impulse, but was the first step in a carefully formed plan to gain pos session of the ship. My duty was to warn the men aft of the approaching danger. How should I act? In a vague way I knew most of the faces of those grouped about me, but I could recall oiily a few names. They were a rough lot, typical foremast hands, many of pronounced foreign appear ance, yet there was nothing especially vicious about them. Ordinarily they would obey orders without a complaint, but now they were evidently under full control of their leaders; yet -the ex pression of their faces bespoke curi osity rather than hatred. - Determined to test them I straightened up and placed a foot on the lower step. “None o’ that now;” a voice growled as a hand gripped my arm. “You don’t? waut ter git hurt none, do yer?” I faced the speaker, a big, two-fisted giant with a red face and a slow drawl in his voice. •You mean to hold me here?” “Sure; we’ve gone too far on this job now fer to back down. Thar’d be a row ov a time if we turned you loose.” “You’re an Irishman?” “ Twould be bard for a Dugan to deny that, sor.” _ “Well, Dugan, look here—you and your mates. You are sallormen, and know the rules of the sea. This .is mutiny, and a mighty serious affair to be caught in, lads.” “We’re not lookin’ at it that way, Mr. Hollis. We shipped fer a peaceful voyage, not to run no cargo o’ contra band fer the Dutch. Tliis yere In dian Chief .is chock-full o’ munitions o’ war—ain’t that the truth, sor?” -!•Yes," I admitted, “‘but shipped be fore war was <Wi-«red. The sick-man back there in the cabin has Ids whole fortune in this venture.” “Devil take him an’ his fortune. The point is we’re not Dutchmen, an’ in wartimes it’s no mutiny fer a crew to capture an inimy’s 'ship.” “Who told you that?” “Never mind who told us; it’s the truth, ain’t it?” “Under some circumstances it-might be,” I said, casting my eyes about the ring of faces. < “But the present con ditions do not*justify any such action. Now look hero, Dugan; you fellows are in a mighty bad boat In this mat ter. You’re merchant seamen; you’ve- signed on for a peaceful voyage, and it is no business of yours what’s below hatches. That’s for the warships to find out. Tlie Indian Chief is under American register. She’s a neutral boat, and your act is mutiny on the high seas. You know what that will mean to you and your mates, don’t you, if you’re ever caught?” “Who says that?” “I do; and I know more of sea law than any of those fools who are steer ing you into this trouble. You kill a man on board here, and It Is mur der, and the whole bunch of you can be made to swing for it. Men have got life for less than you have done now. But I’ll give you a chance.” “What chance, sdr?” “To stand by the ship. Set me free now, and back up the officers in main taining discipline aboard, and not one of your names goes into the log.” “An’ sail the bloomin’ hooker to Hamburg?” “Of course; that’s the port you signed for.” There was an uneasy shuffling of feet, and a muttering of voices. The light was too poor to enable me to de cipher the expressions on the faces of the men, yet I felt that my words were wasted. Dugan, however, voiced the prevailing sentiment. “Not a d one ov us is fer mak ing that voyage,” he said grimly. “So stow yer tongue, mate.” He winked at me facetiously, then glanced about at the others. “There’s bigger wages cornin’ to us now than ever we signed on for.” CHAPTER XVII. Held a Prisoner. These words, and the laughter with which they were greeted, made clear to my mind the whole truth of the uprising. It was not so much the des tination of the ship, or the nature of our cargo, which accounted for the widespread spirit of mutiny aboard, as it was the JIcCann money. These other tilings had been used to influ ence the men, to convince them that they had a right to seize the vessel, and refuse to continue the voyage, but. it was the glitter of the McCann gold which had won converts to this theory. One thing was certain—no argument of mine, no threat of punishment, would have any present effect on the fellows.- While there might be among them some who would listen to rea son, this big Irish brute of a Dugan had control, and he could only be over come by physical force. - The one and only hope lay in my escape; In my raising an alarm in sufficient time to warn Leayord of danger. He was a fighting man, and armed; one cry would put him on his guard, and his position on. the poop would enable him to put up a strong defense. These thoughts flashed through, my mind as I stood there, staring into Dugan’s face. I dared not glance about, or seem to harbor any plan of escape, yet I knew that all was clear between me and the three steps leading to the deck, and that the slid ing door was'not hooked. The fellows were gathered^closely about us In a half-circle, Dugan alone being within reach of my arm. The only weapon I saw was a sea boot beside a chest to the right The fellow must have felt some vague glimmer of my pur pose, for he gripped my shoulder, his iron fingers pinching the flesh. “None p’ that now,” hoarsely. “You can’t fight the whole—” I struck him with all the force I could throw into the swift blow, and he went staggering back into the ring of men, his hands clawing at the air. But for their bodies the fellow would have measured his length on the deck. The force of his fall, the unexpected suddenness of it, for the Instant stunned the others, and gained me op portunity. With one leap I Eqd the heavy boot in my hand, and swung it crashing against the face of the fel low bptween me and the lower step. He went over like a stricken bullock! A hand gripped for me, but missed its hold; there was a roar of anger, a rush of bodies, and above all other sounds Dugan’s voice howling madly: “Stop him, yer tarriers! Crack him on ther head.” I stumbled over the body on the lower step, yet had reached the door before the first man gripped iny leg. I broke loose from his fingers, yet the instant of delay blocked escape. Thev were on me, their faces barely, visible di“ »8ht, and I fronted them, fighting for life, striking fiercely-with the great , sea boo* its iron-shod heel a terrible weapon. Twice men fell, but there were too many of them, nor could. I protect my rear. They swarmed to either side, and clambered up behind me; the low beams of the upper deck permitting no swing to my arms; one fellow gripped my feet, and' another leaped at my throat. I was tripped and flung headlong, the full weight of a man’s body crashing down on top of me. Then came oblivion. / How long I remained unconscious I never knew,' but it must have^been some hours, for when I struggled back to a vague sense of life once more, I was alone, lying on a mattress in a bunk. Jiy head throbbed with pain, and I managed to lift one hand, assur ing myself- that my hair was matted with blood. Where was I? Had I met with some accident? It was only grad ually that the vision began to reflect 'upon my mind—the attack • on deCk; the struggle in the forecastle; and then Vera Carrington. It was her face, her memory which aroused life, and gave me back the strength to struggle. The fate of the ship was of small impor tance to me, but the girl left alone and helpless among these ruffians, was a thought so filled with horror as to draw me back from the very gates of death, I forced my eyes open, finding at first the light blinding, and for an in stant stared up through a red mist. Gradually normal sight came back, and I realized that I rested in a bunk, gaz ing upward at the wliite-painted bot tom of another. There was a splash of sunshine on the side wall, and I slowly turned my head toward the open port through which it streamed. Then I knew. where I was lying—in the captain’s stateroom. Why had I been brought there? What object could those villains have for giving me these quarters if they were really in control of the ship? Perhaps they'were not; perhaps Leayord and Olson had been warned of danger in time to overcome them, and still retained command. That would account for my presence— but, if this was true, why was I left alone, uncared for? Why" had they brought ine here? 'Gradually the con ception of their purpose dawned—a navigator; the need of a navigator. Without me they were helpless; with out my knowledge and skill not one on board could tell where they were, or how to shape the course of the ves sel. I was a necessity to them; in a way I held the villains still in my power; they dare hot let me die—not yet! I cannot explain the new-life- this thought brought to me. I seemed to feel the strength of it injected into my veins,- and I rose up on one elbow, and then, encouraged by this effort, swung my feet over the edge of the bunk and rested them on the deck. The hands of my watch told me it was after eleven. I got to my feet, cling ing to the berth, and swaying weakly at first, but gaining strength with every movement. The chart still lay on the desk, our coursej>rieked on it up until the day before, and the telltale com pass told me the ship’s bow was still pointed northward. I clawed my way across to the door, and tugged at the latch. It was locked. This discovery vanished the least doubt. The men had won, and were In ^full possession. Fergus McCann was in control by virtue of his money, and his chosen lieutenants were Liver pool Red nnd Jim White, What their object might prove to be remained to be learned—but they must seek some obscure port, -or some safe spot for shipwreck, sacrificing" everything else to their own safety—and, to accom plish this they must use me; Lord! I gripped that idea strongly enough, my brain clearing as I realized the important part I must still assume in th’is odd sea tragedy. Perhaps I could not save the Indian Chief, but where I sat beyond the desk. He took a step within, still staring at the rumpled blankets, and I had a giimpse of the inflamed countenance of Liver pool-just beyond his shoulder. “Blow.me!” he ejaculated in star tled voice. “The fellow’s not here; he’s got away I” Red laughed, and pushed past, but still blocked the door with hi? great body. "Got away! Where could he have got to with the door locked? He’s here all right” I stood up and faced the two, the desk still between- us, but took the precaution to grip the stool - by one leg. ■ "I am certainly present” I Said cold ly, “if your reference is to me; but How Long I Remained Unconscious I Never Knew. there was hope yet that I might be -instrumental in preserving the lives of those whom my carelessness bad Imperiled. There was water in Uie chocks of the iron washstand, and I bathed my face, scrubbing as best I could the congealed blood from my hair. The wound on my head hnd bled freely, but was not serious, nnd the application of cold water lessened the pain; and helped to restore my faculties. A Bne breeze swept in through the open port, and I sat down on a stool to gather together In my mind every detail which might prove of future value. I was still sitting there, but by^then alert and ready, when a key turned in the lock, apd the door was cautiously opened. McCann’s face appeared in the openings but his eyes were-upon the bunk, and he ailed to observe me' STOLEN CAUS Wri09Ies Out of a Wisker s,. case and There Esisues a ■ Tableau. i - - IOLT FOR “BAR [an E" Mutual Inquiries Establijhec* Th t „ erybody Saw What Everybod,' Else Saw-Anyhow it Was a Good Yemperancs Lesson.

In some wavs “I'll Brain the First Man Who At tempts to Lay Hands on Me," I advise you both to keep your dis tance. I’ll brain the first man who attempts to lay hand on me.” Red must have felt the challenge of my words, and I could tell he was in liquor by the vivid flame of his face. An oath broke from his lips. “You tried- that before; ’twill pay yer to be civil now.” “There were some of -your ragamuf fins who tasted the weight of my blow,” I answered, “and I only hope it may be your turn nest, you dirty dog of a mutineer.” “You’ll git no chance to ever break your stool on me, d yer,” he roared, jerking a - revolver' from his jacket. “Do you see that? Well, we’ve got the ship—” McCann grasped his sleeve. “Let up on that. Red,” lie said short ly, his voice having a tone of com mand in it, which surprised me. “We didn’t come here to beat Hollis up, but to talk with him. This is my game.” # The other did not resist, only to mutter behind his teeth. The gun still glistened in his hand, but I felt no fear of the fellow, and returned the stool to the deck. “Tell me what you mean, and be brief about it.” * McCann’s eyes met mine, and I read in them uncertainty. He was not yet quite sure that he had my measure; Iiow far I would resist, or what form my opposition would take. Perhaps for a moment money did not seem to him quite so important a weapon as he had found it elsewhere. “I’m sorry the crew beat you up thevway they did,” he began apologet ically. “They are a rather rough set—’’ “Don’t waste your time over that,” I interrupted in disgust “I can deal with an out-and-out fighter, and still respect him, but your kind only en genders disgust. - There is no love lost between us, Fergus McCann, so state your purpose plainly, and with out lying!” - “By God ! I will,” he snapped, “and I’ll put it straight enough this time to satisfy you. The only reason I don’t let Liverpool kill you is that you are more valuable to me alive. I’ve hated some in my time, but there never was a cur I despised worse than I do you.” “Thanks,” I said quietly, “I am hon ored.” “And more than that, I pay my debts,” his temper now entirely ruined by my pretense of indifference. ‘So I advise you to keep a civil tongue in •your head—you’re no longer in com mand of this ship.” I smiled at the two of them, calmly sitting down on the StooL I was not certain yet what hand I held, but determined to play the cards’coolly. “So you fellows are in control;-and yon come to me now with some sort of proposition.

I The War Emergency Pood Survey representing results of reports on food conditions in urban, semi-urban, and rural sections of North Carolina com pleted through the co-operative efforts of the Pood Administration and the State Department of Agriculture I shows that corn and com products, j beans and bean products, milk, fruit, I eggs, poultry are taking the place of meats, with cured meats used instead of the fresh meats and canned good predominating. Very few homes show- . ed any amount of food storage. I The results of the survey are an nounced by the administrative officers of the Nortli Carolina Extension Ser vice. ; The survey was representative of all sections and all conditions of the State. Three cities were selected, representing a population of 30,000 or more. Each city was to furnish twen- j ty-five reports. Fifteen counties were selected for conditions typifying semi- urban communities, and each county was asked to make twenty-five reports. Twelve counties were selected for the typical rural districts, and each county , was charged with twenty-five reports, j These 750 reports represent typical homes in typical section of the State. “The 650 reports which were return- j ed,” states S. G. Rudinow, who has I completed a study of the survey, I “shows a number of interesting facts : which stand out rather prominently; “I.

A story brought from Camp Funs- ton, says the Kansas City Star: A young draft soldier paced the parade ground alone. Stooping suddenly he picked up a small block of wood, stud ied it a moment, and cast it aside with the remark: “That ain’t it.” Walk ing farther, he stooped and brought up a scrap of paper, scanned it, and threw it away, again saying: “That ain’t it.” A third pause a minute latqr brought his attention to a cigar ette stub, but closer scrutiny brought the same rejection, ‘That ain’t it.” His captain stood within hearing, watching tlie draft soldier closely. It was apparent the young man’s men tality was wavering. The guard was called, and the patient was sent to the hospital. The next day the captain wdht to the hospital with the patient’s discharge papers. On their delivery the sufferer held the papers up to Uie light, examined them closely, and then announced: “That’s it.” M O T H E R ! Pneumonia, Asthma, and Head Ca tarrh?

Two hundred and twenty-seven fairs have been conducted in the State this year, breaking all State, and presum ably, all national records. The State Department of Agriculture and the A. and E. College have co-operated in two hundred and seven of these fairs. Submitting a preliminary report of the fair work for this 'season, tiie ad ministrative division of the Extension Service calls attention to some of the outstanding features of this year’s ac tivities. .While all returns have not as yet come In, it is safe to say that the fairs themselves have broken all records for attendance. Not onl yhas this been true for the State Fair, but for the smallest of the 'community fairs as well. Characterized by the trend of the times, the fairs have exhibited splen did co-operation with the Extension Service in emphasizing many concrete demonstrations, educational exhibits, lectures, addresses, and all forms of visual education which would stimu late greater food production and food conservation. One of the most notice able things lias been the tendency on the part of most of the fair managers to remove objectionable and immoral features from their shows. With the fairs in the State divided into a comprehensive division for the first time to include definite types rep- resentng community, county, district fairs and the State' Fair, is seen the beginning of a State-wide fair system on a real educational basis for the agricultural constituency of North Carolina. “We have co-operated extensively in the following way,” states the prelim inary report, “emphasizing these ten features: “I. Standardizing prizes and pre miums. . “2. Putting up educational exhibits of an agricultural and home economics character. “3. Encouraging exhibits of boys' and girls’ club work. “4.

OAi -SSiJS SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS ' ----------------------- y Most Essential TJhat Hens Be Protect ed From Inclement Weather. ) '• and Their Enemies. I One of the most essential things in poultry keeping, is to have a suitable house which will protect the fowls from - inclement weather and from . their natural enemies. It is well un derstood that no two farms will pre sent exactly the. same conditions; for Instance, one farmer will desire to keep one hundred hens while another may want many more or less. Then j again, some farms will present one kind of soil, .whereas on other farms | the character of the soil and drainage are entirely different. Some farmers will desire a house which presents an attractive appearance, whereas on other farms poultry houses will be so located that they are not conspicuous, and hence the matter of appearance is of little, concern. It must be remembered that from the standpoint of the hen, appearance inakes very little difference, but the house must be so built and so ar ranged that it will be a comfortable place for the hens to live; otherwise \ they will not thrive and production [ will not be satisfactory. On many j farms the liens are not provided with 1 a house constructed especially for them but are housed In an old building originally made for some other pur-1 pose. j DISPOSE OF DEAD CHICKENS Hampshire Hogs For Sale §e“vSeea/SiMotwood Hampshire fe'urm, Tbom&srllle, Georgia WIFE NAGGED HIM TOO MUCH Jarvits Decided ts Go Behind Big Can nons and Lose Hearing—Now In Peace. Synopsis: Jason Janits Is u home- loving man. He loves to sit about In his carpet slippers reading the papers,- and he loves his wife, Croona, dearly, but hates to hear her complain of his shiftless habits, says the Detroit Free Press. Now, as she keeps complaining of them from morning till night, Jar- vits finds It extremely difficult to keep his mind on his pipe and his paper. He thinks of spending his time at a club or at movies, but is inherently such a home-loving man tlmt the very thought is repugnant to him. So he stands his wife’s accusing flow of words until one day something he sees In the paper (while he is smoking his pipe) gives him a brilliant idea. Conclusion: “It’s true that we are DaOly in need of men to help fire these new SO-cylimler/ cannons,” said Colo nel Kimniel, In charge of Hie govern ment proving grounds at Skippington. “But it is my duty to inform you that the shock of tiie flring is extremely bad for Uie ears. In fac-t, 18 men In the past week have be«r deafened nnd honorably discharged with a pension.” “I want the Job," said .Tason .Tarvlts !irmly. In three days the drums of both his ears were shattered. Returning home joyously he sub scribed for a dozen extra papers, bought four more pipes and settled down to smoke and read contentedly on his pension, entirely unaware as to whether his wife was talking or not.

At the beginning of the !ievolutipn- :iry war the British government made treaties with several of the German states by which they were to fiirnish . troops-at so much it niaii to assist : subiugating the Americans. Applica tions for. assistance made to ltussia and Holland were rejected, but several of the German states responded favor ably. There was no united Germany or imperial government, no kaiser with ii4itocratic power, but each independ- i pnt state Imd a separate, government. I An English historian says: “Finding i't difficult or impossible to : obtain the necessary recruits at home, I and that the existing English and Irish regiments embarked with such reluc tance that It was necessary to keep a guard upon the- transports to keep Uiein froni deserting by wholesale, the ministry applied-to Russia, the statcs- general (Holland), and finally to sev eral of the Gamian states for merce naries. The infamy of filling up the British armament was reserved- for the princes of three or four petty German states.” Contracts were made with the rulers of seven. German states under which an aggregate of thirty thousand troops were furnished at so much a head, cash down, and an annual sum to the rulers of the different states fur- •nishing them. “Tlie subsidies,” says the English historian, “were to be continued for one full year at least after the war ended nnd the .troops' had returned to their homes.” The troops thus hired out by German rulers to fight against Americans were not raised easily. Tiie American historian Bancroft says: “The whole number of "men fur nished In the war by Brunswick was equal to one-twentv-seventh part of its total population; Dy the landgrave of Hesse, to one out of every twenty of his subjects, or one In four of the able- bodied men, a proportionate coriscrlp- tion In 1776 would have shipped to America from England and Walesr alone an army of more than 400.000 men. ‘ Soldiers were, impressed. from the plow, the workshop, the highway* no man was safe from the Inferior agents of the princes, who kidnaped without scruple.” A trin ity of evils, closely allied, that *■ m ost; fjeoptej -and w hich follow one : F 1SV a e other, in th e order nam ed, until the Ir^ 'U O l S f f a I S is spread through the system, Ieadu- “ • m any evils.

A FOOD FATTEN -POULTRY JN CRATES j Sending Chickens to Market Not Prop-! erly Fattened, Is Wasteful Prac- j tice of Farmers. j Sending chickens to market which j haxp n°t been properly fattened is a ' wasteful practice.

Three hundred and fifty to four hundred: pounds of mash , moistened with skim I milk or butter milk and properly fed : to good fowls will produce 100 Rounds of poultry meat In from 12 to 14 days. Proper feeding of the chickens be» fore marketing improves the qualify of the flesh. “Crate fed” and “milk fed” are synonomous with “high quality.” I Chickens which have been milk fed ia crates should sell for from 2 to 3 cents above tlie market price for un fattened chickens.

Stomach T r o u b l e For simple, common ailments, due to disordered stomach, Ifver and bowels, you will find Thedford’s Black1Dratight a reliable and useful remedy. For over 70. years, it has been successfully employed for these troubles, and its consumption is increasing year by year^ proving the public recognition of its true and genuine value. Being purely vegetable, it has no such bad secondary ef fects, as the mineral drugs, like calomel (mercury), eta, but can be depended on to relieve, by its first acti'ai on the system. Black-Draught is a good, safe, reliable, family medicine, for young and old. A package should be in every household! Mr. Marioii Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., writes: “For quite a-long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a. most disa greeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything, with butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up.. I began to have regular sick headache. . I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these I would be constipated. I found they w ere no good at all for my -trouble. I heard Thedford’s Black- Draught • recommended very highly. So began to use it; It cured me. I keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. I do not- have, sick headache o r stomach trouble any more.” / G . A. 4 2 ! . ; V ■ ••- . • . .Vu,-.•: .rl-7“ iV-* -.W I • i ARRIVAL of PASSl GOING M No 26 Lv.

To the average victim of tuberculosis this may sound a little startling. That Is why we put it that way. People generally believe that a cer tain amount of exercise is always ad visable for an invalid who Is able to be up and about. Yet for the tubercu losis victim it is always a serious question whether any exercise should be taken. Tuberculosis of the lungs, which used Suppose jou have an early stage of the disease and you are living the open air life, receiving wholesome food and good medical care. You may feel pret ty good and think you need a certain amount of exercise, such as walking. But when you take even moderate ex ercise the lung works harder,—moves through a wider space. Consequently delicate healing tissue is stretched or torn, as a spider’s web might be stretched or tom, and you give the germ, the disease, a chance to spread. Persons with "liing trouble,” as tuber culosis is too commonly called, cannot reaize the vital importance of prolong ed rest In bed in the early stage of the disease. They feel able to be up and about, and they Imagine it “weakens” & f CURING TUBERCULOSIS. Rest, fresh air and proper food under a competent doctor’s’ direction cure the old T. B. to be known only as consumption—be cause it was not. recognized until so far advanced that the patient’s body was being consumed by the disease—nat urally tends to recovery. Nature will cure practically every case -if she gets a fair chance. The trouble is that not every patient gives Nature a fair chance to help him. •No chronic disease is more frequently cured to stay cured th'an tuberculosis of the lungs, intelligently treated by the physician. - The very pathology of tuberculosis is nothing but an effort on the part of the lungs to wall off and localize the disease to one limited area, to protect the rest of the body against the germs and their poison, to rob the germs in the lung of nutriment This is what consolidation or infiltration of the lung In the affected part means. the body to lie in bed weeks or months unnecessarily hnd without exercise- But the fortunate patient who has tried out the real rest cure knows that it does not vyeaken. On the contrary, it adds wonderfully to'energy and fight ing power. When there is fever—that is, a tem perature which rises above the normal. 08° or 98°. at any time in the day or uight—then probably absolute rest In bed is the best thing for the patient. Sitting around, “taking it easy,” is not enough. The lung moves less when you are lying down than when you are sitting up. One of the. chief reasons why patients pick up In strength, weight and health when they enter a tuberculosis sana torium is because there the physicians know the value of prolonged rest In bed in the open air. Lock jaw and Ho wto Prevent It THE cause of lockjaw, or tetanus, as doctors call it, is a germ whieli naturally inhabits the intestine of horses, cows, sheep and other ani mals. This germ pollutes the ground wherever animals run, and in the sum mer time it may survive in the ma nure and dirt for a long period. There fore a wound sustained on the road way, about the barn or barnyard or in v GOOU CHANCE FOR LOCKJAW. N Gliyht wound infected with manure is likely to cause loflkjaw. Safety First. be garden is more liable to admit the erm to the blood. Every one knows that when we vac- -!iute we endeavor to scratch the skin without causing actual bleeding, be cause bleeding washes out the virus and prevents a "take." Well, the same holds true in a certain measure in lock jaw infection or other kinds of blood poisoning. A slight abrasion, scratch, puncture or cut that bleeds little or none at all is more likely to be fol lowed by lockjkw than a freely bleed- tig, open wound. Perhaps if every slight wound were it once antiseptieally treated by apply-’ ng tincture of iodine thoroughly or by having the doctor cauterize it with stronger germicides no lockjaw or oth er blood poisoning could occur. ' But if you neglect the ,trifling injury for sev eral hours there is always a certnin chance of such infection. Lockjaw is so named because one of the earliest symptoms is stiffness about the throat and jaw, a sensation like a “sore throat" coming on. This may be felt from a few days to two or three weeks after a slight injury. Besides, the victim is very nervous, twitcliy and im ps when theJe a stm startled. As t^^ttacK. goes on stlffrifes of the.'mus- cles-of the body everywhere will be felt, with jerky twitehings and Qnniiy severe convulsions. The safest treatment of all trifling wounds In warm weather is immediate ^iiitiseptic or cauterizing applications >.v a doctor and then a hypodermic In- ection of lockjaw antitoxin: Probably no case of lockjaw has ever occurred after this antitoxin has been adminis tered at the .time of the accident. A wound in which lockjaw infection is present may appear to be healing perfectly. Sometimes, however, there are drawing or shooting sensations in or near the wound, or a feeling of ten sion or fatigue annoys the victim for days before the onset of more serious trouble. In a case -of. deep puncture or stab wound or a wound in which the tissues are much lacerated and crushed or one In which foreign matter, such as pow der, cinders., dirt or particles of cloth ing. is imbedded- it is always advisable to have the wound laid open and thor oughly cleaned out by a doctor at the earliest possible moment, as such in juries offer ideal conditions for the de velopment of lockjaw infection.

VOr insurance Carland’s Wanted lnsnrance For Soldiers. Although Congressman M. M. Garland of Pennsylvania voted- in favor of the soldiers insurance bill, as didj^very other Republican in the House, he believed that the provis ions of the measure should have been more generous and that insur ance should have been granted to the soldiers without cost to them. To require men who are offering their lives to the Government at$30 per month to use a portion of that pittance in payment for did not appeal to Mr. sense of justice. He spoke and vo ted in favor of an amendment ,pre sented by a republican from New York that would have granted insur ance, payable in monthly installment of $25. to every soldier who is dis abled in the war, or payable to his dependents in case of his death from service.

We were founded as a nation of farmers, and in spite of the' great' growth of our industrial life .still remains true that our whole system rests upon the farm, that the ’wel fare of the whole community de pends upon the welfare of - the farcies. The strengthening i of country life is the.strengthening of the whole nation. Farmers must learn the vital need of co-operation with one a- nother. Next to this comes co op- eiation with the Government-, and the Government can best give its aid through associations of farm ers rather than through the indi vidual farmer. Country life should be as attrac tive as city Iifei and the conutry people should insist on having a full representation when it comes to dealing with ail the great pub lic questions, .In ' other words, country folks shoald demand that they work on equal term s with.city folks in all such1 m atters. They should have their share in the membership of commissions and councils; in short, in all theorgan- ized bodys for laying planB ’ for great enterprises affecting all .the people. I am glad to see on such bodies the names ttiat represent fi nancial interests, but those inter ests should not have the right of way, and in all enterprises and movements, in which the social condition of the Country is involved' the agricultural country—the open country—shobld be as well repre sented as the city.

A Message From Central Africa. By J; A. Stockwell1 Industrial Missionary. ,A 8 an industrial worker, among these -nations T have found my greatest difficulty growing out of the fact that- they don’t think if possible for.'- them to learu to do apything,that their ’.ancestors did not do. All trades are handed down fiiom father to son, and such trade secrets as they have are jeal- ously guarded so as to avoid any competition; Still they have, Th one instance at least, anticipated ciyilized invention by hundreds of years; .One ,will find spanning the rivers wonderful suspension bridges, made entirely of vines that have in their construction every essent ial feature to be found in the great steel structures spanning East Riv er,. New (York. The bridge is woven on the banks of the stream and. then swung across,’and fast ened to trees, high enough to keep it clear of the water during the wet season. It is made very much like a V shaped trough. It has basket work sides about “five feet high.' It- has J three Cablesi—one at the bottom and one at the top of each side. The bottom cable is a bout five inches in diameter and is composed of about sixteen vines off. ■ • a very tough, fibrous nature The other cables are about ,two inches in diameter. Guy vines run at frequent intervals from the top cables to the tree tops on each bank, so as to give added strength. The,b|i% e,indicates a .fine degree 6f..engineering sktll. . . . Auother wonderful thing is the “ talking' drum .’’ The natives hew theke drum s out of solid logs, making them Y-shaped with the narrow part in front. The back part is bCrhaps seven'inches thick by-eightesen inches long, and the drum Is1JabCut two feet from front topack. T hefrontedge is about tbreejfeet; long and three inches thick, and the whole interior is chiseled out w ith a long handled chisel through a narrow slit in the frorft-edge: of ■ the drum , leaving the'walls of a uniform thickness of about half an inch. Au experi enced drummer can send messages with such a drum as far aB ten milesv Every native who hears him knows ju9t what he is saying. It requires a grsat deal of skill to operate one of-these drums. None do it successfully except those who have been trained up from infancy to use them. If we asked any oth ers why they also do not use the drum , they will hold out their bands with, an expressive gesture and say: “ Our grandfathers were not drummers.” , In iron woik the native black smiths show great proficiency and although the iron is mined by men who have had no contact with the outside WOfld for ages, the methods einployed ip smithing the ore dif fer in no.essential from those used at the great iron works in America. Textile work is all but unknown amOng the natives. They, know nothing of the simplest mechanical contrivance. , The wheel and the lever are alike unknown to them They can irofieven turn the lever of a griudstOne, until they are trained in some way. It is with this kind of material that we are laboring. A good many- are turning to the use of the tools that, we brought out., and some have made remarkable prog- rWs>. IfeeT that there are great possibilities wrapped up in these people..--Opportunity alone is heeded to develop them into useful citizens.. They are.io reality but children. They must be taught pptiently. l‘liue upon line,” by slow ’laborious1 pfocesses; but we can see with the eye of faith a civilizotion springing up, that only God can measure. 1 - Note: This man is in the Miss ton which' X ft.:G ilb eit:helped to open in A frica.!

Any man who wishes to please a woman should be commended, but there are extremes“ as shown when a well meaning ‘young man living near^townj took his girl to chnrch. On the way he wished to pay her a compliment and re marked, “ You iBhore have go' pretty hide.” ThisJbronght forth indignation, but matters;were fixed up and she explained that a young man should never Bay hide, that was vulgar—They entered the church and when singing took place the young lady opened the hymn book and -denoted that be was expected to sing. Soon tbi words “ Hide me, oh Blessed Savioi hide me” in the song were gotten too—The young man with confi dence sang out with a feeling that he was hitting the nail on the head, “Skin me, oh Blessed Savior.' skir me” —Aud again she was offended. Some women are so hard to please, —Statesville Sentinel. Deceiving Ourselves. In his Thanksgiving proclama tion, Presidenti Wilson said that we have been given the ■ opportun ity to serve mankind. If any m°n accepts the theory that this nation went into the war to .serve man kind, he is deceiving himself. Ii we had been going into the war to serve mankind we would have gone in when Germany invaded Belgium when the Central Powers invaded Serbia, when the devastating hord of Huns spread waste in France, when hundaeds of thousands of Christians were slaughtered in Ar menia, when women were outraged and children butchered in every place where GermSu troopS forced Pack defending armies. We did not concern ourselves with the “ opportunity .to serve mankind” then. We • were “ too proud to fight” and wanted the' Allies to make peace With Germany with out victory.” It was not nutii France was breathing her last gasp, Russia was on the verge of elimi nation and Great Britain unable to continue mastery of the sea that we went into the war in self de fense. These are facts, and every man of intelligence knows them to be facts, fine phrases in a Thanks giving Proclamation to the con trary uotwitnstanding. Fed By A Hawk. The following story comes from the Cleveland, N. C-, Star: A chicken hawk fed Miss Bsrtie R iverspf Aberdeen last week as the ravens fed the prophet-. Miss Rivers was sitting on her front porch, lamenting the high cost of living and the scarcity of chicken, when she suddenly saw a hawk flying toward her dwelling. She saw that the hawk was carrying a heavy load: When directly over her yard the hawk dropped his burden, which proved to be a fine chicken, and proceeded on his way. The chicken was breathing its last, so Miss Rivers promptly beheaded it and enjoyed a chicken dinner In Real Trouble. Our boys are following the ex ample of our Uncle Samuel in rais ing an army.

Printer Wanted To Be Taxed. Washington. Nov. 9— (Special correspondence)- -Among the count less letters received by Congressmen during the consideration of the war tax bill few could be found that, did not complain that the business of the writer would be rniued by the imposition of additional taxes. Rep resentative Benjamiu Lv Fairchild of New York, however, was the recip ient of a communication from a la boring man that showed there are some classes of our citizens who are willing and anxious to meet the ad ditional expenses of the war. A jouriteyman'printer from Mr. Fair child’s district stated that union printers are taxed thrbugh out the year,in New York to the extent of l£ per cent, and he saw no reason why the Governments if it saw fit should not do likewisei Wheii a workingman writes in that way Mr. Fairchild thinks it- ill because men of wealth enter complaint against higher taxation.

Anti--Dumpiog Clause Useless. The editor of the Americafi econ omist must have been nodding when he panned the editorial od the anti-dumping law. H e says “ The law as it stands. provides that the curreut wholesale market price in the country • from whence the goods aqa exported shall be the basis of dutiable value. That reg ulation, if honestly enforced is a sufficient guard agaihst'undervalu ation, cot price8,vabd “ dum ping.” But, as Dr. H. C ,. Em ery,..former- ehairmao of the Repupiican tariff board, has pointed out, “ the real danger after the war_is ' not that European inanuiacturers will sell goods in our markets below their own cost of production, ,but they, will sell goods'below our cost at home.” Of course the anti dump ing law does not apply to such goods,and the democratic tariff law was not drafted w ith.a ,view, to protecting this country from an in flux of foreign,made goods, but on the contrary was. intended to, and has, eucouraged that every thing.

The truly great men of the nation have already taken this stand. Mr. Taft.JMr. Roosevelt, Mr. Bryan. Mr. Root and scores of other great lead ers of public .thought have forgotten that they have any political bias and are standing shoulder to shoulder with those in authority in safeguard ing the nation. It is only the two- by-four or the secretly disloyal who are endeavoring to thwart the will of the authorities. We say “will of the authorities” advisedly, becausejthe American peo ple have placed these men in author ity and are holding them to a strict account for their every act.

I would be glad for vou to get the local pa pers to carry a summary of these al lotments and allowances given be low. A number of fathers and moth ers have beey to see me, complain ing that they could not live without the services of their sons, and in every case when I have explained these allotments and allowiances, they have gone away entirely satis fied so far as the question of their support is concerned. It is expected that every soldier shall allot a portion of his wages to those dependent upon him. With respect to a wife or child the Gov ernment requires an allotment of not less than $15 per month. The judgment of the Government is that the balance of the soldier’s ,wages will be artple-for'him. The Govern ment clothes, feeds and doctors a soldier and pays every necessary ex-; pense, so that after making this al-1 lotment of $15 to those dependent I upon him, he has $15 a month' for! his own personal expenses. An un-l married soldier’ should certainly* make an allotment gf $15 per momh to those dependent upon him. if : there be any. Certainly neither he i nor thev should make any complaint! until this is done In addition to these allotments from the wages of the soldier, th e: Government makes ^o : dependents: tpe following allowances:' ( .

That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Tw enty-four county jails, recently inspected by officials of ‘ the State Doard ot Health, have made' an aver age score of 66 out of a possible 100, which the State Board of Health pro nounces as unsatisfactory. The in- ..[)?cion was conducted under the au- Ihority conveyed by an'act of the last Legislature. Tlie examination had to do particularly with provisions for the health of the prisoners, and examin ers dealt mainly' with precautions against vermin, ventilation, floor space, water supply, sewerage dis posal. furniture, recreation, clothing, bathing, beds, files and mosquitoes. Before the last examination seven other county jails had been inspected with similar results. The results of inspections for -the entire State will bs included in a booklet to be pub lished by the State Board of Health not later than March, 1819, which will contain, in addition to the reports of the surveys and gradings determined by the score card system, actual pho tographs of conditions. The jails Inspected, with their ■= cores, are: Buncombe, 53; Burke, 40; Caldwell, 67; Cabarrus, 66; Cra ven. 55; Edgecombe, 60; Franklin, 67; Halifax, 69; Harnett, 62; Haywood, 40; Henderson, 52; Hoke, 60; Madi son, 73; McDowell, 40; Mecklenburg, 05; Moore, 59; Northampton, 31; Or ange, 60; Richmond, 60 ; Scotland, 55; Transylvania, 28; Vance, 78; Watau ga, 42; City of Asheville, -53: Tran sylvania and Northampton county jails scored lowest, while Vance and Madi son. it may be said, .made the only passable scores. Among the conditions found that were violatinos of the rules and reg: ulations for the sanitary management of county jails, as provided for in chap ter 286, Public Laws of 1917, were: In a number of the jails the present of vermin and failure tq. separate prison ers having infectious'.diseases, and In. the majority —of -the - -jails - inspected lack of proper and sufficient clothing, particularly night clothing; lack of fa cilities for. bathing, lack of cleanlihess as to beds, as-well as sufficient bed ding; lack of screens against flies and mosquitoes and lack ’ of the require! measures for comfort and recreation. Kerosene Menace Lootns Large. James R .Young, Commissioner of Insurance, is calling attention to the greatly increased number of deaths and fires caused by carelessness in the use of kerosene to start fires. ' He has just sent out the following: "Week after week the casualties re ported to-the North Carolina Insur ance Department show signs of gross carelessness and add to the already far too long list of dead and injured who have been sacrificed on the altar, of negligence. Looming large among the causes for this carelessness is the habit of using kerosene to start fires. In spite of warnings and citations of the horrible results, people are still observing this reckless practice in many parts of North Carolina. The following item is taken from a recent issue of one of the state papers: “A" frame dwelling opposite the Southern depot at Advance, Davie County, wa's burned this morning at 5:30 o’clock, and Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Williams and Mr. Williams’.aged moth er were probably fatally burned.. Two small children , rescued, were not burned so badly. Itie stated that Mr. Williams rose about 5:30 and was in the act of starting a fire with kero sene oil. Indications are that the oil was poured on the wood and a match struck to light the fire when by some means the can exploded, throwing oil on Mr. Williams. The' flames spread over his clothing and in trying to ex tinguish them Mrs. WiHihms caught ->n fire. “The aged mother of Mr. Williams rushed to the bed and picked up her little grandchild and in. passing • out cf the room her clothing became ig nited and she fell In a faint The 6- yoar-old daughter of Mr. Williams took the child and carried It outside the house. Neighbors assisted the hus band, wife, and mother out. of the building, but not until they had re ceived wounds that will probably prove fatal.” Camps Buy Local Proeticts. Director B. W. Kilgora, of the Exten sion Service, announced that from in formation received from the Depart Bient of Agriculture at Washington, local truckers in the vicinity of Na tional Guard Camp and National Army cantonment will be called upon to sup ply to some extent the vegetables needd by these stablishmnts. In a let ter. sent from the quartermaster’s of fice at Charleston, S. C., to the camp quartermaster at each army camp in the southeastern department the fol lowing informtion is given: "It is de sired that the growers in the vicinity of your cantonment be informed of the approximate quantity of vegeta bles^ .that will, be required during .,- a given period, and informed that the government will purchase vegetables after sending out circular proposals and Ihat the award will be. made to grower or firm who offers the vegeta bles at the lowest price. “In furnishing this information, all those interested must be impressed with the idea that if growers or firms in some other part of the country agree to furnish vegetables at a bet ter price the government will, of cours, purchase from the lowest bid-1 der. “Report will be made to this office, with the least practicable delay show ing the approximate quantities of the various vegetables, which it is thought will be required at your camp for the winter and spring period.” SEGDI SESSION OF CONGRESSMEN EXPECT SECOND SESSION TO RIVAL FIRST IN IMPORTANCE.

Seven pardons granted by Governor Bickett brings his total during the ten months of his administration to 172 against the 432 during Governor Craig’s term. But the pardon gates are becoming increasingly difficult, to open. Sweeping surveys of prisoners of the State Have been followed by batches of pardons for men who, alone and without outside influence, have not thought of liberty. Generally speaking, Governor,Bickett is getting down to the rock bottom and it is un derstood that pardons hereafter are going to be few and far between. Suggests Aid For Families at .Home. Governor Bickett appealed to the chairmen of the-County Councils of National Defense asking them to take steps at once to look after the- fami lies of soldiers, and especially to see to it that where there is poverty and fsickness that these people are extend ed not only whatever financial aid is necessary but also given human sym pathy.- Governor Bickett - quoted s at length from a letter he has received from “one of the most intelligent officers at Camp Sevier, iii which the officer called attention to th need of encour aging the people back home. “The men here do not need Christ mas presents or feasts,” the officer said, “they are all well cared for, have their friends and acquaintances, but they can not fully devote themselves to their work because they are think ing continuously of the dependents back home.” ■ Governor Bickett also urged that at tention be given to the.matter of al lowances which the government has provided . for the dependents of sol diers, asking that the county coun cils give advice and instruction as to the manner of making up -claims against the government for these al lowances- Kill Rats and Save Food. . The many economies being practised b>’ North Carloina farmers to save all food possible is of no avail if, he is to allow the rats and mice to make way with more food and feedstuffs than he can save by careful economy.

The later was burled with military honors, j Secretary Daniels announced the ' capture and sinking of the submarine in a formal statement which made no mention of prisoners nor of the reason 'for the boat ,sinking. The details Ieak- I ed out at the department later, but the I secretary would neither confirm nor deny them, saying he had issued the statement in agreement with the Brit ish admiralty and cou’J not add to it. There was a report in naval circles that approximately 40 men, including five officers, were taken off the sub marine. If this, were true , it . was I pointed out, the vessel undoubtedly j was one of the largest of the cruiser type known authentically to be oper ated by the'Germans. The action occurred in the war zone several days ago and the submarine went down while one destroyer was attempting to tow her to port.

Washington.—Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of- ,the war depart ment, Secretary Baker said in the first statement he has ever authorized in connection with the progress being made-' In increasing General Persh ing’s forces. Mr- Baker declined, however, to state the number of troops forwarded or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of thee eforce, he said, depended on two ■elements, the training and equipment of he men and the availability of ships. “As fast as they are ready, ships and men will be combined,” the secre tary said. “As many American troop? are now over, seas as we expected in the beginning to have over seas at this time.” Mr. Baker indicated that an official statement of the number of American troops In France was not to be ex pected at any time during the war. He caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor,. Major General Mc Intyre, however, which may result in more liberal regulations as to publica tion of the designations of regiments, brigades or companies which are en gaged in action on the front from time to time. If there is no sound military reason for suppressing that information, Mr. Baker said, he desired to give it out. The secretary’s attention was call ed to the fact that the British-official statements have recently named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives.-Ap parently a .new policy in this regard has been adopted in London and the war department may do likewise.

Russia almost in'the list of unfriendly nations. . . PreBS dispatches telling of the peace movement were confirmed by a cable gram: from Ambassador ' Francis re oelvedat the state department. - London.—Prior to the departure of the American mission for Paris, Col. E. M. House authorized the following statement to the British officials, press and public, which he asked should not be published until atfer the mission reached France: “I have been Impressed by the.' wonderful machinery you have cre ated here at the heart of your empire to control your part of the war. You have given the world an example of the efficiency of democracy which will be of lasting value. “We also are creating in Washing ton a vast new machinery of govern ment to bring our resources to bear, and we shall profit by what we have seen here. We all realize that no hu man organization is perfect, and I am sure you will not be content with, yours any more than we will be con tent with ours until the tools that we are making have accomplished the great work for which-they are being forged. __ “It is inspiring to feel that our two organizations will work closely and frankly together In the cause of liberty. We appreciate beyond meas ure the kindly reception your officials, your press and your citizens have giv en us, and we will take back to Amer ica a delightful sense of your warm hospitality' Our visit has been mem orable and I hope profitable to the cause in which we both are enlisted.” RAISING ARMY. IS FIRST DUTY SAYS SECRETARY BAKER Man-Power Exerted in Field Will Win • the War. Washington. — Man-power exerted on the field, of France will bring vic tors in this. war. Provost Marohal General Crowder aeeiarea in a state- men of the- aims, accomplishments and future of the selective draft sys- teffi addressed to members of the local board and made public. After review ing present conditions and necessities. General Crowder predicted that the se lective system would become a perma nent part of America's governmental system for- war. Every precaution possible has been taken with the new draft regulations, General Crowder said, to conserve eco nomic interests, but the paramount duty of the country is to raise an ef fective fightng force. “We are committed to this war,” the general continued, “and we ought to ght it in the most” effective fashion possible to us. The necessity of rais ing an army is paramount. The de crease in the labor supply must be adjusted in some way other than can be adjusted there is no question. “The problem is not to maintain the labor supply of agriculture and every industry intact. It is to make with drawal of men in the most scientific manner, possihle. I think we have done that, and what is offered here is the basis for a nice balance between two necessities.- “There arc those who say that we must win this war . In the economic field, wth the inference that the rais ing of an army is a side issue. I sav to yo’-’ that with any greater inroads, rnco the field of recruiting of our army we shall be sending inferior men to the field ;that if this nation is not competent .to make the slight adjust ments necessary to compensate for this scientific selection, then it is not competent to enter this war, “Cerainly no man can urge in this day of trial and sacrifice that this na tion should detiberately neglect to make itself effective In the field of mil itary operation On the plea -that our greatest contribution, to the cause of humanity is in attaining an eeonomc supremacy. To do so would be to relegate the United States to the role of sutler for the fighting nations. “We shall, of course, increase our ,production. We shall become more and more' effeitive as a nation, and we shall supply our own armies and do all that ran be expected of us to sup ply the armies of our allies. “But we shall not, under the guise confine our participation in this con flict to the baking of bread and the sharpening of the swords of other men.” GREECE IS PREPARING TO TAKE HER PART IN WAR Washington—Greece is rapidly pre paring-to take her part-in the war. A ,cablegram received here *rom Athens via Switzerland. says many new divi sions of Greek-troops swiftly formed, have taken their places , at the front. Russia’s Collapse and Itnly’s Reverses Make It Necessary That Troops Be Sent Overseas Quickly—Ali.„s De pend on America for Food. London.—Premier LIoyd , George told the Anglo-American -war council, in session , tor the first time, that the collapse of Russia .and the reverses to Italy, “made it even more imperative than before that the United States send as many troops -as possible across the Atlantic as-early as pos sible.” “I am anxious to know how soon the first million men can be expected in France.” The premier explained that British shipping now was wholly > employed in war work, partly for the allies, partly on the British account, adding: . “As suming that the submarine situations gets no worse, the easing.of the posi tions to the allies depends entiretv upon the dates on which the Ameri can program for the launching of the six million tons of shipping proicfoed for 1918 comes into practical effect. I have no doubt that with ,the largest industrial' population and an excep tional national gift of organization the accomplishment of America "in the matter of shipbuilding will , astonish everybody.” Dealing with the. airplane situation, the premier said: "Command of the air in the battle line is’ ,almost. essential as command of the sea. The people'of the United States possess to an unusual degree qualities of enterprise and daring necessary to the creation of success ful airmen. The American climate also lends itself to the development of the air service, because it is clearer and more equable than the climate of the British Isles. This is of-special* value because the training of pilots, the creation of flying units, and the building of air-domes are as essential - to the creation of an air service as the building of airplanes themselves.” Referring to food the premier said that, the allies were becoming increas ingly dependent upon what the North . American continent could produce and economic pressure to bear on the cen sured the mission that the most dras-- • tic restrictions were about to be im-., posed upon the people of the British Isles, partly in order to assist the al lies, partly in order to leave more room for the carriage of men and. mu nitions to the battle fronts. The' pre mier said he regarded the tightening of the blockade as of next importance. “Close co-operation between . the - United States and the powers of west ern Europe can bring still greater economic pressure to bear on the cen tral powers during the war,” he said. The premier then thanked the mis sion for the great services rendered by the United States navy. ' SHIPMENTS TO RUSSIA HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED No More Will Be Made Until Situation Clears Up. • Washington.—No shipments’ of sup plies will be permitted to go from the United States to Russia until the sit uation in that country clears. The American government before allowing the export of goods already on the docks want to know into whose hands they will fall on their arrival. The cessation of shipments is tem- ■ porary only if a stable government is formed which the United States,.can recognize. If the Bolsbeviki .-,gain control and pursue their program calling for a peace with Germany the embargo will be permanent. A pro tracted civil war also would work to keep the-embargo tight, as the United States then would fear that supplies might go to the Bolsheviki faction. ANOTHER ISSUE OF TREASURY CERTIFICATES Washington:—In anticipation of huge returns next June from income taxes under the war revenue law, Sec retary .MoAdoo announced an issue of tour per cent treasury certificates of indebtedness of indefinite amounts due June 25, 1918; the. final day for pay ment of income taxes.

McGltug & Co* CHAPTER XVII.—Continued. —12— “They’re all right,”, broke in Liver pool, “except for some sore heads. We downed the oyvner and the second mate easy, but Leayord and the engineer made some trouble, -and Iiad to be soalced. We got ’em all quiet enough now, where they can’t make any trouble." ■ “Where are they confined?” He winked at me in a lialf-drunken leer. “Which is none o’ yer business— hey, Mr. McCann?” The impudent manner of’ the fel low served to fully awaken me to a realization of the helpless position I occupied. I held back the first hot retort on my lips, and forced a smile. “I get the idea,” I said, pretending a good nature I was far from feeling. “I am to merely work under orders. Well. I’d rather do that than let you wreck the ship, and perhaps drown the whole company. What is your object InThis affair? You surely don’t hope to dispose of this vessel and cargo?” “No, I don’t,” and McCann took a step forward, his hand resting on the desk. “To be frank with you, Hollis, this affair has gone further than I intended; it got the start of me while you held me prisoner aft here in the cabin. There’s nothing for me to do now but work out of the fix as best I can.” “Mutiny, then, was not part of your • original plan!” “Not open mutiny—no. Tm no fool, , and I know what that means. I start ed in to make the crew dissatisfied, so they would force you to put back to an American port. I offered them money, but with no intention of resort ing to force. Then you locked me up, and this other thing happened. We’ve gone too far now to back out. We don’t mean to get.cauglit. So it’s up to you to decide whether the Indian Chief remains afloat, and no lives lost; or whether the old hooker Is never heard of again.” “You’d scuttle the ship?” “That’s for you to decide; it’s my advice to you-not to take the chance.” I could scarcely believe he meant thjs; the proposition was so abso lutely heartless, so cold-blooded. I ■could hardly associate it even with Fergus McCann. Surely he was not in reality the utter -villain he now . coolly professed himself. My eyes left bis face, and sought Liverpool, who was leering at me in drunken gravity. “Is this true, Red? Have you fel lows held council?” “Some ov us have,” he said sullenly. “Jim Dugan, Simms and me, we talked it all over with Mr. McCann here, an’ agreed what wus best.' That's why the two ov us come ter see you.” "Unless I consent to sign a report showing your desertion of the ship justified, you propose to sink the In dian Chief?” • ; liYou an’ Bascom—both ov yer.” “And if we do sign—what then?” ’You’ll sail us within fifty miles ov the nearest open port, and we'll take to the boats, and leave you to be picked up.” . “You’d report our condition ashore?” “Nothin’ was said about that Yer drift would be southard, an’ would soon bring yer in the track o’ ships; besides there’s enough left ter handle the sails ter give the hooker steerage way. We figured we'd be safe unless there was a big storm.” • It was certainly a cold-blooded prop osition, but the fellow’s tone was so matter-of-fact I no longer doubted this to be their final decision. I played my last card.” “See here, Red,” and I drew a paper from the drawer of the desk. “Do you fellows realize the value of this ship, and the cargo below hatches?” “We don’t give a darn.” “Well, you better, for it’s a tidy little sum. Now, see here—Tll pledge the crew fifty thousand dollars, to be divided as you choose, if you will dock the Indian Chief at Hamburg.” “Who’ll pay it?” - “The owner, within ten days of landing.” “An’ if we get snapped up by an English or French cruiser on the way over, all we’d ever get would be a jail. That sorter plan don’t make no hit with me nor my mates. We’ve talked it all over.” McCann struck the desk with his fist, impatient at the discussion. - "Your price is too low, Hollis. This is no piker’s game. Red knows it is worth more than fifty thousand to me to get back to New York. So now, will you help us quietly, or shall we have ■ to mnke you?" . “What is it you desire of me?” “That you work out an observation once a day, and set the ship’s course as we direct; then tell us when a cer tain point has been reached.” “What point?" • “Fifty miles northeast of S t Johns.” “And then what happens?” “We will take to the boats, and leave you and your officers to do what you please wi.th the ship.” ‘Are all the crew with you In this mutinous deal?” The eyes of the two men met and Liverpool blurted out: “They’ll all do what we say; there’s none ov "’em yer kin count on fer ter fight on your side; but maybe there’s a couple we won’t hav’ no use for when we take to the boats.” “Who are they?” “Thar’s no need o’ my. tellin’ yer that." “Well, even with those two this will only give us six able-bodied men; that is not enough with which to bring the Indian Chief into port.” ■It will he all you’ll hnve, anyhow,” said McCann grimly. “And you are mighty lucky at that. Tlie drift will be southward, and will take you direct ly into the steamer lane. AU you need do is keep steerage way, and wait until you are picked up. You don’t imagine we want you sailing into the harbor at St. Johns the same time we get there, do you? Come on now; stop this talk, and give, us an answer.” For a long moment I stood motion less, staring out through-the open port at the sunlit waters. It seemed to me my best course was to at least pretend to yield to their wishes. To acquiesce would insure me a measure of free dom on board, an opportunity to learn the exact conditions, and might enable me to save the ship from destruction. As to McCann, he had some object In all this far more important than ap peared on the surface. He was never assuming this risk, or investing all this money in an illegal cause, without a more serious purpose than an idle desire to return to New York. He was taking a tremendous chance, driv en by some impulse I could not com prehend. What was the secret—hate, revenge, greed, love? I would find out sometime; but now I could only grope in the dark, guessing at his mo tives. Yet I knew this—his promises were lies. He would make use of me; he would induce me to pilot the ship to the spot he desired to attain on the broad bosom of the ocean, and then— what? The man would never be fool enough to permit the Indi'an Chief to sail into any harbor to accuse him of such a crime. Back of all his words, c.elf, and, with these In my hands, turned toward the ,door. Come on, then,” I said, ignoring the fact that I was any longer a prisoner. 'Bring the chart, one of you, and Tll point out where we are to you on deck.” "Just hold on a minute,” and Liver pool, blocking the doorway, pushed me back with his huge hand. “We’re the bosses, not you. Git it out o’ your head right now. mister, that yer the captain of this ship Indian Chief. Blast yer! ye ain’t nuthin’; an’ if yer attempt to play us any dirty tricks, I’ll smash yer the same as I would a fly. Ain’t that right, Mr. McCann?” “Oh, Hollis understands, Red. JHe knows we’ve gone too far in this game to take any chances. Let him pass.” “Well,” growled the giant, stepping aside, “I just wanted him ter know. I don’t kill nobody in cold blood; but I’m goin’ ter take keer of myself an’ my mates. Yer git me, skipper?” “Yes, I get you,” I answered a bit wearily. “So let it go at that, my man; I know the time to fight, and the time to keep quiet Now let’s go on deck.” ‘Your Price Is Too Low, Hollis.” his explanations, his apparent fair ness, lurked treachery. I felt-it and knew it, and the very suspicion led me to reach swift decision. My eyes met Ids with a smile. “I cannot conceive that I have much choice,” I said quietly. “It is to either do this in freedom, or under compul sion. Naturally I prefer the former.” “You mean you accept our offgr?” “Yes; i will figure out the proper course, and report to you when the ves sel is at the place you hesignate. That is all that is asked of me. In return I have your pledge that the ship will be left In good condition, with all who are loyal safe on board?” “Yes,” ' * "There is one more condition, Mc Cann.” “What?” "That Miss Carrington be left abso lutely unmolested by either you dr your men, until the time comes for you to take to the boats.” “Hah! So that is really where the shoe pinches!” “We will not quarrel about it—either say yes or no.” “What do you mean by unmolested? Am I prohibited from speaking to the lady?” “That is to be left to her choice, not yours. She is to retain the key to her stateroom; to eat alone if she prefers, and to see such associates aboard as she desires.” Liverpool laughed drunkenly. “That ain’t the argyment,”’ he said easily. “So far as I see, that don’t change things none. She’s locked her self In anyhow, an’ won’t answer no body.” . McCann growled something which I took to be assent, and I was myself so -anxious to ascertain qur exact posi tion as to have no desire for further argument. I could be of no possible value locked a prisoner in that state room; no protection to her. Indeed, if I refused to navigate the vessel, leav ing the ship to drift blindly through these unknown waters, exposed con stantly to peril, I would be guilty, of a failure to do my duty almost as great as the crime of these others. On deck, knowing where we were and the direction in which we were going, the opportunity might arise for the accom plishment of much. I grasped the 'nec essary instruments from the swinging CHAPTER XVIII. A Compromise and an Interruption. Except for the absence of the regu lar officers from their stations, I should not have known any especial change had taken place on board the ship. Outwardly everything appeared about as usual as I emerged behind Liver pool, with McCann trailing behind. The latter pnused to insert the key into the lock of the door, and I indulged in one swift glnnce about the apartment “Bascom occupies his own state room?” Liverpool nodded ungraciously enough. “And Miss Carrington retains hers?” “We are not here to be interviewed, Hollis,” broke in McCann sharply. “Go along on deck, and keep your tongue to yourself.” Realizing that silence was my best weapon, I made no response, but climbed the stairs. The decks were clean—had evidently been scrubbed that morning, and nowhere could I perceive any signs that the ship was in the hands of mutineers. Liverpool gripped my shoulder. “Up the ladder with you,” he or dered. “There’s too little time left for gaping about here,” . There were two men at 'the ^vheel1 although one could have attended to the service, as the ship was at half speed, and the sea far from heavy. I recognized both faces, but couldn’t re call their names; the shorter fellow, deeply pitted, exhibited a fresh scar where I had struck him with my boot- heel the night before. He grinned good- naturedly, and pointed to the bruised flesh, as I caught his eye. White was evidently the temporary officer in charge, and the brutality of his faceWAR HwHy voiTAalod ixx tha bx-i&Ht ligpbt as he leaned against the rail. How ever, I had scarcely time to more than glance about, as the sun was' already at the zenith. The others stood around silent, watching as I figured out our position on the back of an old enve lope. I took my time at it, net only from my own anxiety to be accurate,- but also because of other thoughts in, my mind, yet the calculation was com pleted at last, and I lifted my eyes to McCann’s gaze. “Well?” he said. I gave him the figures. ’ “You are sure this is correct?” “As sure as I can be; the chronom eter hasn’t been corrected since the ship left Baltimore; except for pos*. sible variations on that account, the figures are right Spread out the" chart, and I’ll show you where we are within ten miles. When did* you furl the sails?” “After we started up the engines again; while we had all hands on deck.” "Well,” I announced, after a mo ment of measuring, “that would tally pretty' close with the figuring. Our present position is just about here, where I put the red cross.” McCann took the compasses from my band, and began to measure distances. “Two hundred and ten miles to the northern extremity of Newfoundland— is that it?” “A trifle more, I should say.” - ' “This is St. Johns here; what south ing does that give?” “Over two hundred.” He studied the map a few moments longer, the three.men talking earnest ly while I left them, and walked over to the starboard rail. It was of no particular interest to me where they decided to go—the one port meaht the same to me as another. McCann got up, rolling the chart in his hand. “There is no use, then,” he called, “of our going farther north?” I turned and faced him. “Not if your port is St. Johns; the course would be sou’-sou’west. Is there anything more wanted of me at present?” - McCann turned and. spoke to the others, both answering him' In low tones. “No,” he said stiffly. “We will send for you if you are needed again on deck.” "I am expected to keep below?” ^ “Below, and to your stateroom. ' If you attempt to converse with any of the crew, you will be locked in."- I passed them without a word, and clambered down the ladder to the main deck,, aware, of the grinning faces of .the men at the wheel. Humiliating as the situation was, this was no time for resistance, or the exhibiting of a spirit of revolt. -White crossed over to the rail and watched until I vanished with in the companion. I realized his pres ence without so much as glancihg up. There came to me,'os I paused at the foot of the stairs, a sudden eagerness to speak to Vera, to explain to her the situation, and bring to her a word of comfort. I crossed over hastily and rapped at her stateroom, door. I felt sure there, was a movement within, but no response. With lips dose to the wood, I spoke.” “Miss Vera.” “Who is I tr . “Hollis; may I have a word?” The key turned, and she stood fadng me, her eyes filled with startled wel come. “Why—I thought; they told me—oh! I am so glad!" , “They told you what?” “Why, nothing direct. But there was fighting last night. I—I heard the struggle On deck, and then here in the The Key Turned and She Stood Fac ing Me. cabin; and when I started to leave my room I encountered McCann and some of the crew. They were dragging Leayord down the stairs, and his face was all blood.” “You were not injured?” “No; the big man with the red hair threatened me, but McCann interfered, and thrust mo back into the stateroom. He told me to lock the door, and not to make any noise. I—I thought they had killed you.” “Well, they tried hard enough, but, as you see, I am very much alive still. They trapped- me in the forecastle. Do you know what has .become of the others?” ^ ' * She shook her head. “What I’ve told is all I know. Those villains have control of the ship?” I related the story to her swiftly, concealing nothing. At the last she asked: “That is all? You know no more?” “No." , 4tTlien tiie others must be alive, and on board. Surely you would have heard if any had been killed?” “I believe so; they would not kill if possible to avoid it, as such a crime would render their own case more des perate." “What—what are you going to do?” “Frankly, Miss Vera, I do not know,” I confessed. “I have had no time to think, and my head still throbs so from blows that !.hardly realize the situa tion. I cannot hope to fight these men alone, and there can bC no immediate danger— they are sailing the ship toward S t Johns.” “You believe they will take to the boats, and leave us aboard?” “That would be their only safe course. They would never dare sail the Indian Chief into that,. or any other harbor. They must land as ship wrecked seamen, tell their story, and then quickly disappear.” “I—I know that—but—but will they dare to leave us afloat to be picked up by some vessel?” I hesitated, but her eyes compelled an answer. “I do not know,” I said soberly. “It hardly seems possible they can contem plate such an act of villainy as the scuttling of the ship, and leaving us on board to drown like rats. That would be too horrid a crime for this age. White and Liverpool might be brutal enough, but surely not Fergus McCann.” - “Why not Fergus McCann?” “His education, his former life, the civUization in which he has been reared”; he has Uved among gentle men.” “Gentlemen!” she echoed the word in scorn. “His associates have been principally gamblers and rounders. He is notorious in New York, and his money aione gives him entrance to de cent. circles. He doesn’t know what the word gentleman means. • If there is treachery behind this, it wUl be the plan of Fergus McCann.” “you know him better than I.” /“I know of him longer; I have.heard more, tales, yet surely you saw what he was in the boat?” “You beUeve, then, the intention is to Seattle the vessel?” * “Yes, I do.’* “And leave us helpless on board?” “Yes, Mr. Hollis.” 1 drew a. deep breath, at this direct verification of my own secret suspicion.. . * -• >1° d K t V returneA tn a whisper, although I had no thought of teUing you.” "You have some plan, then?

Is there not something we can flo? Must we remain here helpless, just waiting for death to come?” I took the little hands in mine ten derly, and, with an effort, controUed my voice. “Perhaps so, but we cannot be too cautious. Our only chance is to retain our freedom, and arouse no suspicion that we are plotting together. Can you learn, where the others are confined, ahd get the word to me?” “Yes,” she said. “I—L think I can.” “What is it you think you can do, Miss Carrington?” said a voice quietly. McCann stood in the open passage way leading to the steward’s pantry, less than fifteen feet distant, a satiri cal smile on his lips, as he observed our familiar-.position. How long he had been there, and what portion of our conversation he had overheard, I had no means of knowing,^cnd for the instant I ’stood speechless, my brain n blank. Not so with Vera. With a laugh, ringing out as naturally as though in full appreciation of some sudden gleam of humor, she withdrew her hands from mine, turned and faced him, executing a mocking curtsey. "Hardly fair, Mr. McCann,” she said, “to steal upon us like that." “Perhaps not,” he answered grimly, “but just now I am privileged to do as I please on board -this ship. Answer my question—what is it you think you can do?” . , "Perhaps an answer will be embar rassing.” * “Stop the play-acting,” he burst forth, advancing about the stair rail. “What were you talking about? I want a direct answer?" «• • •The girl’s long lashes shaded her eyes, but there was not the slightest falter to her voice. “Captain, Hollis,” she said softly, al-. most regretfully, “had asked me If—if I thought I could learn to—to like him, and I said I - I thought I could. That— that was all.” McCann stared at the innocent, downcast face as though he half be lieved the words her lips uttered were deliberate lies; then he laughed mirth lessly, "I see,” he said with sarcasm. “No misfortune along other Iinesi is suffi cient to interrupt Mr. Hollis’ love-mak ing. My congratulations, captain, on even this measure of success,” The hot blood flushed my face, not so much at the words as the tone with which they were uttered. They con veyed' to me a deliberate.insult, tin gling with a memory of the purpose he charged me with during our last interview. He had not quite under stood me before, but now he felt con vinced that under all the veneer I was his kind; and he instantly felt that he knew just how to deal with my case. “Your congratulations are appreci ated for what they are worth,” I an swered, unable to wholly restrain my self. “But we will let the discussion end here.” “Oh, will we? Well, perhaps you will recall that circumstances have changed since our last talk.- You are no longer captain of this ship—I am; and I will say what I please on board. The first thing I propose doing is to tell Miss Carrington who and what you are.” Her eyes flashed over my face, then sought his. “Do I understand,” she asked clearly, "that I have been before a topic of conversation between you? What was the occasion?” McCann laughed, not in the least embarrassed, and evidently convinced that his position was sufficiently strong to give him a clear advantage. “Hollis’ natural modesty prevents his answering, but as a disinterested party, I will take upon myself to ex plain.

All along the line behind the battle front where tiie French and BritisIi are hammering back the invading Geriinins and General Pershing's boys are begin iiing to "go to it;” all up and down their lines of communication; at all tlii-ir (raining campsT at their naval bases and depots; wherever there are Aniericans in uniform—there Uncle Sum’s boys will be eating turkey and cranberry sauce, and listening to ser mons by their chaplains, on the last Thursday of November this year. France lias never before been in close touch with this, the most char acteristically American of all our hol idays. Of course their Christmas, their Faster, Ilieir New Year’s Day, and their various church festivals, corre spond to our own. They have an ade quate understanding even of our Fourth of July, for it is close akin to their own Fourteenth of July, the an niversary of the fail of the Bastile and the dawn of real liberty in France. But TlianksgiYiiig Day lias always been Uncle Sam’s own private and per sonal feast day, in which nobody else had a part. It had its origin in no great international, nor even national, event. At tirst it was hot really Amer ican In scope, but was confined to the few hundreds of religious enthusiasts who fixed a day of-public devotion and thanksgiving for deliverance from In dians and cold and hunger. Even the materials for the feast were Indigenous to America. Despite his name, which would seem to indicate an oriental origin, the turkey is a na tive of America, nnd was unknown in the domain of the sultan until import ed there. Tlie potato, which plays a minor but very Important part at the feast, though later adopted by Ire land, was discovered in America. So was corn, which in one of its many forms usually makes a part of. the meal. And even the tobacco which follows the meal in most homes, was not known outside of America until Sir Walter Raleigh and his compeers took it back to England. Further, the American manner of celebrating this most American of all days has never been of a nature to call the attention of other nations, or of their citizens visiting here. - On this day of all days the American-has been wont to retire from public gaze, to refrain from any- great public demon stration, and to give thanks in his own way and eat the me’al in the privacy of his own family. The only notable seeming exception to this is the Insti tution called the Thanksgiving Day games of the college football teams. But this is no' real exception. The games themselves are always amateur "iTttirs. primarily for the students themselves, and after- the game every student who can possibly get home goes Into retirement with his family for the great and solemn feast. Tliis year war has brought a ciiange. Young Americans to the number of 20,- 000—or is it 300,000? Nobody knows, or is permitted to say if he does know - tire in France, 3,000 miles from the Iiimily circle and the accustomed tur key. Most Americans had little hope that the day could be observed at the front, but General Persliing thought otherwise. “The boys shall have their Thanks giving Day,” said the general. That was all, but it was enough. It showed that the general had thought It all out beforehand, and that turkeys and cranberry sauce and all the “fix- Ias' ” for the feast, had been provided months before. AVithout doubt there wiil be football games, for many of the country's famous gridiron stars are wearing the khaki. And Uncle Sam’s hoys will sit down to their Thanksgiv ing I'ay feast, their bodies in France, hut their spirits in the old home cir cle. with those whom they have gone forth to defend. And France—what of her? ‘ It is her first experience with tlie Yankee Iiol- iday. Rut it will Ht her case exactly. Thanksgiving Day had its origin in the religions spirit of gratitude for deltv- erUtice from very .real and pressing danger. France today is full of that fame spirit of thankfulness, for the presence of those clean-limbed, square- jawed. clear-eved young Americans is fhe guarantee that France will he rte- ClTY KITCHEN STOPS WASTE Tlus was once a picturesque null and village beside a beautiful forest in France.

It liver.." ."r.im ihc danger of German conquest. ^ Not only in the spirit of feasting, but in the religious aspect of the holiday— especially pi the religious aspect—we may expect the French to join heart ily with the Americans in giving thanks, and we need not be surprised If they take Thanksgiving Day to their hearts as they have taken the Ameri can soldier, nnd make it their own for the rest of their national life. Npt the American army alone, is giv ing the French reason to be thankful to that Providence which has raised up a powerful ally, but the American Ited Cross, which stands ever back of the army and navy, helps to care ‘for them, and takes on its shoulders the burden of feeding and sheltering and clothing the pitiful thousands of ref ugees. Back of the French fighting lines are now these homeless, shelterless, wom en, old men and little children,-in num bers almost unbelievable. On October I the American Red Cross was caring for SoO1OOO of them, and more were coming at the rate of 1,000 a day through one city alone, and no one has estimated how many others. The Ger mans, who had held them prisoner in the lines for three years, were driving them across the lines that the French government might have to feed them. It was not possible for the Red Cross to provide a Thanksgiving Day feast for this multitude, even if they had known .what it was. But the help giv en them—the portable houses in which reunited families might find shelter; the little furniture and' few tools sup plied them that they might begin the family life anew;' the food to keep them alive and the clothing to keep them from freezing to death—such services as these have aroused in the I volatile and emotional French heart u I love for the American and his Red i Cross which may easily encompass al- I so the American feast day. I In the one little corner of Belgium : which is free from the German heel, there also is the spirit of thanksgiving, though the Belgians know nothing of !TAKE the American holiday. For there has pome the American Red Cross, and only a few days ago it voted §589,930 for the relief of the Belgian refugees crowded behind their army in the little strip of soil still held by King Albert and Queen Elizabeth. This fund will be used especially to care for Belgian children, and to run a Belgian hospital for wounded soldiers, because the Bel gian government hospital is now over taxed. For the feeding of the refugees warehouses are built along the many canals, and supplies -will be sent by boat all over that corner of the little the idea of a day set apart on wliich to express their gratitude for blessings received. And if the war lasts another year, and the next Thanksgiving Day finds the American army still on French soil, watch the whole French people, seize upon the great American feast day, and celebrate it as enthusiastically as if it had originated In Paris. THE WONDERFUL BOOK. Has the Power to Speak to People of Every Race, Condition and Every Age. The Bible is the universal Book of- the wide world-. . In hundreds of lan guages and dialects, heathen countries are today reading its pages, and a great artliy of missionaries is expound ing its truths. AVhen Doctor Paton was printing his first New Testament In the Anlwan language, Chief Namakei, an-old man, eagerly watched the missionary, and one day he said: • “Does it speak?” “Yes,” said Paton. “It can talk now in your own language,” “Oh, let it speak, to me—let me hear it speak." Paton then read a few lines, when the old man cried: "It does speak! Oh. give it to me!” Grasping the book, he turned It round and round. Then, pressing it" to his heart, he shouted: “Oh, make It speak to me again I” Is not this the greatest work of the mis sionary, making the Bible speak to men? It is said that more than five hun dred thousand sermons are preached every Sunday from texts taken from the Holy Scriptures. Any but a divine book would have been worn out ages ago, but the more the Bible is used, the better It is liked. The cry every where today is, “Come over and help us!” All the gates are open to the Christian soldier sent of God, carry ing with him the AVorld of Power and preabhing Christ to every creature.— Christian Herald.

Hoffman In Perdue Agricul turist However, the same principles of rnre and management apply to both. Apple ijIrees, like any other species, tend to grow tall if allowed to have their own way, and careful .watching, pruning and care are necessary if the best results are to be obtained. The successful orcbardist has found it more economical to grow a low, broad- topped tree which is symmetrical in shape rather than the type that is so closely related to the fore'st tree. In order to, get the best possible type it Is necessary to prune the tree, cut ting out the crossed and undesirable branches, and leaving only those that will produce a well-balanced top. Another important factor to be •watched is the open head. . A certain amount of sunlight inside the head is necessary to the health of the tree and development of the fruit. Sunlight is a great germicide and fungicide, and so It tends to hinder the growth of these organisms within the top. When to Begin Pruning. Pruning should begin when the tree is set but. The top and the roots are : pruned so that they bear an. equal ■ ratio to each other. The top Is started ■low. Some orchardists recommend as low as 18 to 24 inches above ground I as the proper distance for starting the top. This is desirable,' since it pro duces a tree with a low, well- branched top, which makes spraying and picking more economically done, and also there is less danger of dam age by storms. .. Young limbs may be taken off at any time. The loss of vitality and moisture is insignificant. But a large limb should never be taken off until the tree is dormant. The best time for this Is late In the winter or very early In the spring before growth be gins, as there is less danger of the wound drying out and cracking. Al so that no stubs extend out, because the wound will not. heal over, and In time the stub will decay, and ruin the tree. - Make Cut Upward. Never make the first cut in a large limb on the top, but wfth the saw make an upward cut one or two inches deep on the underside ,.to prevent the limb from breaking off and. peeling away a portion of the bark. Always leave the wound smooth, and if it is one and a half Inches or more In di ameter it should be painted with white lead. . Orchard renewing is rapidly com ing into popularity in all parts Of the friiit belt. Mature trees that have been neglected for many years are headed In and made to grow new wood, and In many cases the entire top is worked over and reshaped. The results of these experiments show thnt the methods are practical and bene ficial. The orchardist works the top down to the low, well-balanced head that is so popular and with proper spraying the crops are large and well matured?

(By E. P. SANDSTEN, Colorado Agricultural College.) With few exceptions, winter protec tion is necessary to insure a crop of raspberries. In some casgs the mere laying down or .bending over of the canes to protect them against the cold and drying winds is all that is neces-- sary, though the safest and most effi cient way Is to bur.v the .canes, that is, cdver them with soil to a depth of three or four inches. The covering should be' done as late as possible,, but before the ground is frozen. Select days during which there is no freezing -temperature; otherwise the canes are apt to break when bent to the ground for covering. -With some varieties hav ing strong and brittle cones it Is often | necessary to remove a spadeful of soil I from the side of the cane towards < which the canes are bent and in ex- { treme cases the soil is remove’d on both sides. Generally,' only enough earth Is used to completely cover the canes,' and success is dependent not upon the thickness of the covering, but upon the completeness ' of the cover. Strawy -manure will serve the same purpose as earth, if... obtainable In -sufficient quantity to make a complete covering. The canes should.be uncovered a$ late as possible in the spring to avoid early spring frosts, yet the covering should not be permitted to remain too. long as it is apt to injure the yioiing growth. 'Ordinarily when the buds; have well started the .covering should be removed. .Care should be taken in uncovering so as-not to break or other-, wise Injure the- canes and ,the soil; should be leveled off completely; oth erwise In a few yearn the bushes will stand on a ridge and the feeding area of the plants, is greatly decreased.

The department of agriculture has received a report from the Woburn experimental fruit farm of tests made to ascertain whether apple trees'In a heavy- soil suffered less from canker ■if they were planted.higber than usual. Certain varieties subject to this disense were planted' at the usual depth and also with their roots flush with the sur face of the ground. Observations over a period of ten years show that the high-planted trees have not flourished quite so well as the others.' Np re lation between their behavior In suc cessive years: and the rainfall was ob served. -The high-planted trees have suffered somesvhat less from, /the at tack 'of banker. Experiments, dealing with the, cut ting back Of the branches of trees at the time’of transplanting have shown that such cutting back niay be delayed TiP to any time before active growth begins without any injury to the trees. If delayed until the' summer the effect ia very deleterlous and remains in evi dence for many years afterwards. If the operation cannot be done before summer, it is recommended tbiat it be deferred to the end of the first year. This is followed by excessive root growth and very strong branch growth subsequently occurs, at least during one season. The tree often continues this growth and does not come' into proper bearing until several years later than similar, trees which iIrave been cut. back at the time of trans planting. ' - Beft Feed Tor.

Backache of any kind is often caused by kidney disorder, which means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter • and uric add accumulate within the body In great abundance, overworking the sick kidneys; hence the congestion of blood .causes backache In the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes headache. You become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish, irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambition to do things.The latest Sffld most effective means of overcoming this trouble, is to eat sparingly of meat, drink plenty of water between meals and-take a single An-u-ric -tablet before each meal for a while.Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anurlc, double strength.

Dear Editor:—In my last letter I wrote mostly about Marine , life at Paris Island. This time I shall .give a very small phase of our life here at Quantico. On our arrival here the first sight of the camp struck us very unfavor able. The company streets were full of stumps, logs and trees. But it looks different now. The streets. are of cement- There is only one! thing now that the Marines do not like and that is the mud. Thename Quantico was given this place by { the Indians The word itself means “ slippery mud.” Vm sure that if , those Indians could come back now they would still retain the name of Quantico for this place. But to o u r1 work here. While it has always, been the duty of Marines to guard I the possesrions of the nation they > have now begub training for a grim-1 er purpose. We are experiencing; as near as possible every phase ol | trench warfare. I cannot describe j the work of the Infantry and Ardll- j ery companies for Machine Gun companies are very different. I shall just give our work for one day of twenty-four hours to show a lit tle of what we are doing here, and so follow us through that day: We got up that morning at the usual hour, 5:30, and ate “chow” at 6:00. Just after chow the Top (First Sergeant) passed, word that there would be nothing doing for the day. And.so the day went by quietly. We had supper at 5 p. m. Again the Top yelled out, but a very differ ent note this time. “No man shall leave the quarters,” were his words. A t6 assemble was sounded., Our night in the trenches had arrived- We marched under cover of a bilUo a place' about one-half miie behind the tranches. We were given our orders hefre. Every one was to be quiet. No one could smoke or speak a word above a whisper. The ce ment was mixed behind the hill and hauled over the hill to the trenches for machine, gun implacementa. It was pulled oyer in hand truck by M arinesandnot on motor trucks. It was a big job to dig the holes and make the. wooden molds for the ce*; ment, with not even a moon to give light. And thus we worked ail night silently and steadily. About two o’clock in the morning a truck brought; in: Jdarine language, our| “ Punk” arid “Slum.” By 4 o’clock our work was finished. We were worn out but we got seventv-two hours leave for our trouble. Tbis is'only one of the many in teresting problems and jobs’ which we have to work out here, Wehave at least three-hikes every week out into the hills. On these all day trips we learn mostly how to take up. or try to take up, positions.. un seen by an enemy—a friendly enemy of course now. But we try .to do it just as if the Germons were our en emy. W eare carefullyi traihed for we hope to meet Fritz sometime and then we shall be ready for him. RAY T. MOORE. 81st M. G. Company. Mr. E, C. SmithDead. Mr. E. C.

Young men ,'enter ing U. S. Army training camps or military schools are early, introduced to the habit of maintaining a good posture. i>( has been found by actual X-ray observation that an individual may lift the;stomach and transverse colon from twd to six inches, when these organs are.'ptosed or sagging, by simply as suming a good erect posture with chest high, chin in, crown of head high—as though endeavoring to reach an imag inary ceiling with it, abdomen drawn In.And up. Sagging of stomach and colon are now recognized as common factors of chronic digestive disturbances and ill health. Man’s upright posture brings with it - a' [numerous brood of major and niluor ills which the lower animals esj^pe..,i*;But these troubles (from vis ceroptosis- or • sagging of abdominal organs). are not due to upright posture In' itself, but to slcuchy posture. It is true that certain individuals have & W A . “BRACE YOURSELF, SIR!" If Wot for the- Sake of Appearance, j-. for the Sake ,of Health and . .w • Efficiency. a tendency to relaxation of the sup porting ligaments and structures, yet a :en these weak framed individuals •iay ward off much trouble by practic ing1 good posture in sitting, standing and: walking. Kor instance, many people slump down in their chairs or seats so that they really sit upon the wings or back part of the hip bones. This throws strain upon the joint uniting hip bones to the spine, and many a backache is produced - In just this way. 'It also seriously • impedes digestion and b&athlng. ’'-■In standing many people form the Irffbit of resting one leg, with the other leg-.bent at the knee. This throws the whole ffa'me. Work' out of' pliimb, and predisposes to spinal curvature. Hie Acetanilide Habit Yhople who think self-treatment for-minor ailments of what seems to be slight'illnesses in the beginning, is economy—and' there are still many . who harbor that delusion—ought to knoW- a.few-things, about'the dangers of acetanllide. Acetanilide is a comparatively cheap chemical'derived from coal-tar. In its effect it varies but slightly from-phe- nacetine and tinpyrin. But, being the cheaper chemical it is more commonly employed in the popular headache remedies, the neuralgia and migraine tablets, the “grippe” and “cold” rem edies. In fact, acetaniUde is dispens ed iwlth a lavish hand by the manu- In walking many toe o^.;i& * very unnatural way. (forced upoSi them, per haps by.pointed, ibadly 'Shapedi sho.es); carry the chin high instead of keeping ItfJralled in, and holding the back of the neck against the collar, as a soldier is taught *o do. This faulty walking pos ture brings early fatigue. The feet should toe straight ahead or inward slightly, never outward, Vraen walk: Ing. Watch the well trained soldier and see..

They have a way of drilling this into the “plebe” or freshman at West Pointt. “Brace yourself, sir!! some upperclassman will growl, as the poor plebe forgets and relaxes into a slouch. “Draw in that chin!” And after a few months of it the plebe learns to conduct himself like an of-, fleer and gentleman. Women, encased In their unyielding abdominal splints, of course, can as sume but one posture—the one the- corset permits. It may be good of bad; that is, the posture way. The Cprset is always bad. It produces atrophy or wasting of the abdominal and hip and back muscles—and it fa vors the. accumulation of fat. There fore the corset eventually-causes just what the poor deluded women imagine it prevents, that is, a stout figure. Lucky is the young womant-and fashionable too, at present, thank good ness—who never acquires the corset habit, but trains her own muscles to support her for life. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. ' ' ' ' Filthy Lucre. Some time since I read -in the paper about a government expert finding the germs of smallpox, scarlet fever, meas-. Ies and other diseases on paper money? which had been in general circulation. Is there danger of these diseases be ing carried by paper money? Answer—Th at must have been a dream perpetrated by some hard pressed cor-* respondent No one has' as yet isolated the gtrm of smallpox or of scarlet fever, or measles, though these , diseases are probably germ diseases. Some of our treasury notes rightly merit .the description - “filthy lucre,’* but there*'is no reason to believe that paper money, books, letters and the like ever convey disease. The actual carriers of disease are live persons, animals, insects. h ie W i n s t o n - S a l e m , N . C “ S e l l I t F o r L e s s . ” - Mad Dogs and Mad People. ‘ How long after a person is bitten by a mad dog before symptoms of hydrophobia'develop? If the dog is shot immediately, is the risk lessened? Answer—If the dog happens to have rabies, the disease ipay appear in the person bitten in from 'a few days tosev- eral months, but usually In two or three weeks. Shooting the dog after he has inoculated his victim is a mighty poor treatment The dog should . be . confined for two weeks under the observation of. a veterinarian, who can detect any signs of rabies. If the dog shows no signs of disease within the two weeks, there is nothing to be feared. . If he does, then the victim should have ,the Pasteur treatment at enae. If the dog is killed the- head should be shipped immediately to the State Laboratory of Hygiene, Raleigh, for expert examination.

S ' Suspect Tuberculosis—Be Examined. What does a low blood pressure in dicate? Answei^-A low blood pressure Is associated with a variety'of conditions. The most important, however, are tuberculosis, underfeeding, general debility from overwork, most of the acute infeotlous diseases, aa scarlet fever, chronic tobacco poison, also depressed nervous conditions due to exhaustion, neurasthenia, venesctlon, hemorrhage, diarrhea and dysentery. weakness appearing. This manifests Itself by a strange sensation of numb ness and coldness all over the body. Along with it, perhaps, the lips and finger-nails or sometimes the whole surf ace. of the skin may become blue or livid. This latter change is in part due to circulatory weakness, ■ ? but largely to a serious change in the blood, the oxygen of the hemoglobin of the red corpuscles' being crowded out by the poison. Nausea, collapse, vomiting, cold blue skin, faintness, clammy perspiration and other alarming, sometimes fatal symptoms may follow even a 'few doses of acetaniUde in one whose heart or blood Is not perfect. Some people grow so fond of the effect of the migraine, neuralgia- .or pain tablet containing this drug that they take it daily or several times a day, whenever they feel tired or weary or depressed in any way. Such a habit is ruinous to the health, and has re peatedly led to the insane hospital. The anemia (lack of blood) and ner vous weakness produced by frequent reaort to alleged “safe” medicines containing acetanllide or Its congeners are • exceedingly difficult to overcome, even when the habit’ is stopped. Before you- indulgeV-in. the “cold cure” that kills a -cold In one day, or the headache or grippe or migraine or neuralgia tablet or powder that comes so highly recommended -by those who profit on the sale, better make sure about Ihe acetiniUdi. ■ Look: the label jover carefully.
