The work, of coarse, is being carried on Innder the directions of specialists^ but specialists often j>ecome theor ist and IosefaIl theirpraotibal Bense With the nation facing a serious food shortage, it'ia nothing less tban a sin and a shame to be horn­ ing food of tbe naturethatis being burned at tbe camps today, wheth- er it be the TTnitedStateB ..govern­ ment having thts done-or- indiyid-' nals.

Unprepared. When he came back to the country, Ambassador Gerard was, by his own admission, "shocked to find that in the years that had elapsed since the outbreak of the world . conflagration nothing had been done to prepare the nation for a reasonable national de­ fense.” Well might he have been shocked, for what, more astounding thing is there in our history, or in human his toryr than that a nation, whose citi­ zens were being murdered month af­ ter month, a nation whose ships were being sunk and whose right to sail upon the ocean was denied, should take no steps to prepare to defend its rights.

Tiie.WayWeFann. A Mr. Foy, who is rated as a “mar ket expert,” has been giving New Yorkers some points about buying turkevs. He sagely advises them not to buy turkeys from Virginia or North .Carolina, because/‘they eat tobacco leaves and the jnice of the plant does not add to-the sweetness of the jneat.” The Greensboro Rec­ ord relates that Mr. MartinDougIas, of that city, was reading a paper in a hotel when he came across that il Iuminating bit of information and passed the word along that it is something- that looks suspicious)} doubtful. He owns a farm and de­ clares that he has never known any of his turkeys to “either chew to­ bacco or smoke cigarettes.” Butthe advice of the '‘market expert will be taken seriously by many people in the north. Theyhave always thou­ ght something was wrong with the Southern brand of turkeys and now they , know it. The flesh of these fowls is polluted with' tobacco juice and' they-will have no more of it. On the contrary, they M l ask for a turkey from .Vermont or Maine and will be given a genuine Vermont" or Maineturkey that was . born raised and killed.in North Carolina or Vir ginia, for. after a turkey gets into the hands of the market man up north he is naturalized to suit any call that .might be made. B ut it is a fact that the tobacco patch is the natural pasture for the southern bred turkey. ;' He does not chew the leav­ es, as tlie expert from New York claims, butiie .doesfeast upon tobac­ co worms. The worm is the most troublesome' enemy the tobacco farther has to encounter. •‘Worm­ ing” the fields by hand is a tedious and -expensive proceeding, but every tobacco; farmer who owns a flock of turkeys or can rent a flock from a .neighbor is saved thatl .trouble and to the tobacco field and they pro­ ceed to solve the worm problem for the farmer. In some parts of the tobacco belt it is a regular custom for a man who owns a flock of turkeys to “hire out” the flock, to a neighboring farmer at so much a day. just as it has Jbeen the custom of the owner of a flock of geese'in the cotton belt to hire out the gee°e to a cotton farmer for the purpose of “grassing” , the crop. Half a dozen geese can rid an acre of cotton from grass in the course of a day's bill ‘scissoring and tbeir ser vices are paid for on the basis of the acreage cleared. Old timers will yet tell of a famous lawsuit in Gaston county brought by the owner of a flock of geese against a cotton farm er for the services -.of the geese in clearing his fields of grass and pay ment for which had been resisted. The judge took the ground that the geese had performed the same work that a farm hand Would have per­ formed and the owner of the flock was entitled to a verdict. These smart experts up North have yet a good deal to learn abodt Southern farmers resourcefulness in agricul­ tural economies—they have much'-to learn abont tobacc chewing turkeys and the geese that are hired as farm hands.—Charlotte Observer Soon Over His Cold. Everyone speaks well of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy after having used it. Mrs. George Lewis. Pittsfield, N. Y., has thi4to say regarding it: "Last winter my little boy, five yeais old, was sick with a cold for iwo or three weeks. I doctored him and used various cough medicines but nothing did him much good until I began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He then improved rapidly and in a few days was over his cold.” . - Pow that the shopping is. all over you can brace up and . pay the bills.

It might be well lor tba state. machine to take cognizance of what happened to the maciiine in Fort Wayni- that tried tofplay that game in tbt- recent election. - It deliberated set to work to make a bad cause ^ood by investing it, with the balo of patriotism' and boldly challen­ ging the loyalty of those who dared opposeit. -We all remember very distinctly h6w the voters answered this impudent assumption and i is not to be doubted that the state will reply in rkind if this demagog­ ic ruse is again attempted. The people are not altogether stupid and they haye not forgotten that in congress at the last session the liepublican members stood between President ^tjilson and an awful hu­ miliation at/the hands of his own party. They did this not because they loved ^he president, for they most certaijiily ;did not, but simply because it fwas the patriotic thing to do. It .waa the only thing loyal men could .do - under the circum­ stances. The President escaped a tragic repudiation solely by the grace and. magnanimity of the op­ position hebas always despitefully used.

War .Savmgs Stamps. This Christmas a great number of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps were given to children by their parents. The government urges that this plan be kept up through the entire year. When­ ever parents have money to give tbeir children let them be snre to give it in the form of five dollar War Saving Stamps, or twenty-five cent TbrUt Stamps, and see that tbe Stamps are pasted on the prop- er card. It will be an easy matter for children themselves to earn four dollars worth of twenty-five cent Thrift Stamps, only sixteen in number.. AU parents will realize how much better it is for the child­ ren to save money than to waste it in buying unnecessary thiugs. It parents will only make the effort, they can soon teach their children to feel the same enthusiasm in buying ThriftStamps that they ex. perience in any other interesting work or play. Could there be a finer sight than to see children competing in the game of thriltl Their parents can put this stimu­ lus into their lives, and the coming men and women of America will be finer citizens on account of it. “The child is father to the man, and the parents of America can make the growing generation the finest and strongest that the coun­ try has yet produced if they will urge upon their children the im portance of their part in America’s great undertaking at this time.

The other day, as I started home at noon time, I sat with a gentleman who said be had had but little breakfast and that he was ready for bis dinner. I was in the same fix. “ What are you going to eatl” he aBked, and I thought maybe it was blue legged collards and corn bread. “Don’t know what Iwill have,” he said. “My little boy caught a rabbit in a box and brought it home a few days ago. This morn­ ing the wife wauted it killed be­ fore I went to the office. So I went out and caught him out of the pen. I got him by the hind legs ready to break his neck, and he set up a terrible crying. He opened his little mouth and cried just like a little baby.. “In fact, he cried so pitifully that I decided that maybe that' he loves his life as well as I love mine, 60 after looking at his little mouth and listening to his crying, I just turned him loose and he went hop. ping away through the garden ” You would be surprised to know the identity of that man.

When the word goes out that sugar, Hour or other articles of foodstuffs may be scarce, many people who have the money and have opportunity to boy, lay in a large supply of these things^prob- ably an amount sufficient . to last them forpon^ natural aod reasonable foresight- in.? such matters is proper. But laying in an unreasonably large supply is boarding, which is a violation of the food regulations. Those who lay in a supply they can’t use foi months take from others, who may not be financially able to buy in such' quantities, or who did not have the foresight-. Ou this line the State food ad ministration has issued the following to county food administrators: “ We have had information from one county that a number of con­ sumers have purcba-ed sufficient flour to last them until the next harvest. Thefood eontrol law is designed to prevent, and does for­ bid, hoarding by consumers and individuals as much as by dealers, aud this office desires auy definite information it can secure regarding this practicel Of course the pro­ ducer of wheat or aoy other food product is privileged to have it ground and keep it in bis hands as long as he desires, but after it passes from the hands of the pro­ ducer it is under the control of the food administration and it' is im­ perative that no hoarding be al­ lowed. Food commodities, where held by consumers or dealers in amounts;greater than their require­ ments for. a reasonable period, are subject to confiscation and we do not hesitate to sav to you, and yon need not hesitate to pass the word along, that those who attempt to hoard foodstuffs and to disarrange the whole tood situation in the country will be dealt with prcmpt.

A writer in the Wiimingtoa Star, who bears the ear marks of George Cochran, states in the fol­ lowing facts, and circumstances tbat are very familiar: “I saw a list of contributors made in a small town the other day for the army Y. JI. C. A. funds, and knowing the people named, scanned, the list with in­ terest. I saw tbat persons h- d given liberally ,who are notorious­ ly slow abont paying their bills; I saw that well-to-do persons who could havejgiven $25, $50. or $100 and never missed it. gave a dollar; I saw that some who have little to give and need all. they can get, gave fair sums—sums that meant sacrifice; I saw that men who make a good living, good, average citizens, measured up to what wa 9 expected of them and gave accor­ ding to their means, not at a sac­ rifice but liberal just the sam e.- doubtless the same situation pre­ vails everywhere. Ihe man who owes others is not generally bad at heart—just careless-like and thriftless?, and while he has no bus­ iness giving liberally, still he could do worse. Tbe ones who can Sive and do give are credited with plain duty done; those who’ give till it hurts get tbeir names on the books of the recording angel; but the despicable, close listed houud who has plenty and gives a hnn. dred cents—well, he is the only reason why a fellow would like to see .the .Huns come over .and burn up some of his stuff.” If. tjie country was made up of the type last named the Huus would cjnie: and the pity of it is, that hounds like that described ■' are "protected from • the -Huns-by - those who make the sacrifice to give. Bot we can’t agree with the excuse for those who gave lib­ erally when they are in debt. A jew people who are careless about debts are not bad at heart—just thriftless; but their thriftlessness is unexcusabje when they force other people to provide for them; and it becomes a crime when they take the money that belongs to their creditors and give it away. It isu’t tbeirs to give, but they get the credit; aud tbeir offense is fur­ ther aggravated when the people to whom they owe money are suff­ ering, and sacrificing because their careless aud thriftless debeors do not pay. Bat in tbe matter of public sub­ scription lists, an analysis will al­ ways show that it is tbe average folks who bear the burden, just as they bear it in matters of taxation and , in fact., in all public burdens. A man well fixed gives $100; an. other gives $25 without material sacrifice, but if gifts were made proportionately, the man who gave the $100 would probably have to give !$500 or a $1,000 to equal the $25 nian. But the $100 man walks about "Vith thumbs ia the arm­ holes of bis vest, chest expanded; as if he had done something won­ derful, aud gets credit accoreinglj. The same way with reference to taxes. Often the man who pays a few hundred dollars in taxes will talk as if he was about the sole support of the government, while it is ofcen true that- another who pays $50 is payiug 25 to 50 per cent more, taxes in proportion to what he has than his boasting neighbor. It is tbe Average Man In all lines of human endeavor who makes up the bulk ot the sub­ scription lists, p-iys the bulk of tbe taxes, aud docs more-^generally for the public weliarei—Statesville Landmark." About the only thing possessed by man that Has not been taxed for. war purposes, is the worthless dog which eorae people' keep for tbe purpose of destroying sheep and birds and eating tbe bread: which should be f ^ to children. i • if Hf 'IA IP •M.If I *,h ■!I M I -Vr,: ’’V ‘ "-.--!'/Tv/^ .-T '.T'.';'- - * - . ■»->,. •* • "V; THEDA VIE RECORD, MOCKSVHLE, N. 0.sa ss THE DAVIE RECORD.

Mr. Editdr:—I think your illustra­ tion of Mf- Santford Martin, -of Winston-Salem Journal fame being a flea on the ear of an elephant- in comparison with Ex-President Roose­ velt very apt. -Today’s Journal has a very inspiring editorial to those-of the Journal’s kind. He says the more Roosevelt knocks the harder he knocks,'impatient because of the small amount of attention he is at tracting. then proceeds to', devote over half of his editorial space to him; there is some inconsistency, Bro Martin, in your tirade against this once loyed man by your crowd Mr Roosevelt occupies a peculiar or unique position as a citizen. He has been loved by all the people of the United States. The Republicans lived him when President, the' De mocrats when he made it possible for Woodrow Wilson to be? Presi­ dent. He winds up his vitriolic spleen by'saving that he. God-fear ing and liberty-loving American citi zen should permit a night to pass over his head without falling on his. knees and devoutly thanking'- thi- God of nations that Woodrow Wil son and not Theodore Roosevelt it President of this Republic Why not thank Mr. Roosevelt for the di vision of Republicans that made Mr Wilson President in 1912. -whereby he had a chance to build up a' pow­ erful machine that elected him a- gain in 1916: before the various ele­ ments of the Republican party had time to coalesce. The answer is very plain why the Democratic par­ ty is hurling. their main shafts a- gainst Mr. Roosevelt. He did not go over body and baggage into the Democratic patty, neither does he endorse everything that is sent' out from Washington branded Demo­ cracy. There is another potent rea­ son why he has suddenly come into disrepute ’with Democracy and that is he looms high in the political ho­ rizon as our .next President. Mr. ,Roosevelt’s -unselfish and patriotic I -ffer to finance two or three Divis­ ions of troops for France, and to go himself is very much discounted by the present administration, but when the American people have an oppor­ tunity to express themselves you will Hear a different tale The pre dominatingand outstanding features of Theodore Roosevelt is that he is honest and; intensely patriotic. I dare say that he is represented' in the trenches by more men than thousands of these little yelping Se ducers of political character that are trying to belittle him. He has given his all—his four sons ,today are iti the service of the United States in one or other branches of the Army and it is no fault of his that he is not there. What greater service can a man render his country than to offer his: life? Theodore Roose­ velt needs no defense from me, the United States knows him, and a great majority knows that he is on,e of the greatest men living..

Smith, assistant director general in charge of operations east of the Mississippi! river.that “accumula­ tion is increasing at points east of Pittsburgh and Buffalo." Mr. . Smith re­ ported that the situation was due largely to cold weather, but that sick­ ness among trainmen and engineers and scarcity of labor has necessitated extensive curtailment of train service. New Demurrage Rates. The new demurrage rates approved by the interstate commerce commis­ sion on request of the director gen­ eral. are $3 per car for the first day after the two free days $4 for the second day, and $1 additional for each succeeding day until the charge per day reaches $10. This maximum then will be charged for every day or fraction thereafter. Bxisting demur­ rage rates in most sections of. the country are $1 for the first day after the two days' free time, $2 for the, sec­ ond day, $3 for the third day. $5.. for the fourth day, and for each day there­ after. Even these rates are several times higher than those which; prevail­ ed a year ago, and which were raised last spring when congestion on east-, ern railroads Jiecame acute. Much higher rates are charged on the Pacific coast and in several other districts. to prompt passage. While the president's address met with general approval among demo­ crats and republicans alike, opposi­ tion is expected to develop to a pro­ vision in the administration bill that federal control shall continue after the war indefinitely or until congress orders otherwise and other details of the compensation basis. The plan will affect immediately only ,the wage requests of the broth­ erhoods but demands which may be made later by other classes of organis­ ed labor probably will be handled in the same way, Mr. McAdoo reserving the right to make whatever decision he chooses without regard to recom­ mendations of the advisers. Some .increases, both to the broth­ erhoods and to other railway labor, are generally considered certain. -The director general in a statement prom­ ised every employee “that his rights and interests will be justly dealt with,” and appealed for a hearty spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation from every one. Efforts to speed the movement of coaland other freight continued along with the legislative and labor phases of the railway movement and special orders were issued providing that 500 additional cars shall be furnished daily to a certain specified bituminous and anthracite mines, mainly In Pennsyl­ vania,' for supplying New England. .

Washington.—AU men for the war; armies still to be raised by the United States will come from Class I under; the new selective service plan. That' means the nation's fighting is to be; done by youhg men without families dependent upon their labor for sup-, port and unskilled in necessary indus­ trial or agricultural work. 1 Provost Marshal General Crowdor announces the new policy in an ex­ haustive report upon the operation of the selective draft law submitted to Sscretary Baker and sent to Congress. He says Class I should provide men for all military needs of the country, and to accomplish that object urges amendment of the draft law so as to provide that all men who have reach­ ed their 21st birthdays since June .5, 1917, shall be required to register for classification. Also, In the interest' 'of fair distribution of the military bur­ den, he proposes that the quotas of states or districts be determined hereafter on the basis of number of men in Class I and not upon popula­ tion. Available figures indicate, the re­ port says, that there are 1,000,000 physically and otherwise qualified men under the present regulation who will be found in Class I when all ques- ' tionnaires have been returned and the classification period ends February 15. To this the extension of registration to men turning 21 since June 5 of last year and thereafter will add 700,000 effective men a year. Class I comprises: Single men without dependent rela­ tives, married men who have habitual­ ly failed to support their families, who are dependent upon wives for support or not usefully engaged, and whose families are supported by incomes independent of their labor; unskilled farm laborers,. unskilled, industrial .la­ borers, registrants by or in respect, of whom no deferred classification - is claimed or made, registrants who fail to submit questionnaire and in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made, and all registrants not included fn any. other division of the schedule. .. Narrowed down under the. analysis: of the first draft made in the report, the plan places upon unattached single men and married men with. indejien- dent incomes most of the weight of military duty, for the aggregate num­ ber of men in the other divisions of Class I is very small. General Crowder finds that the first draft surpassed the expectation of the friends of the selective' service idea. He pays high tribute, not only to the thousands of civilians who have given ungrudging service in making the plan a success, but also to the high patriot­ ism of the American ' people as a whole.

In addition to aDoronnriatine $500,000,000 and providing for the compensation basis under which the government guarantees an aggregate -return of some $000,000,000 a year, the measure sets forth in detail the conditions upon which government operation is to be carried on. IJnder the last provision the pres­ ident is expected to issue an order transferring to Director General Mc- Adoo all functions vested in the chief executive. This win enable the direc­ tor general to organize a corporation for handling railroad securities in ac­ cordance with a plan now under con­ sideration. Railroad officials are exnected to urge a number of modifications of the accounting method prescribed by the bill for reaching the standard return basis, but officials exnect the scheme as outlined in the bill, probably will be followed In the main. Some dis­ cussion i3. looked for over' the bill’s provision that, new federal taxes un­ der the war revenue act are not to .be charged against the revenue in computing the standard return as are ordinary taxes. The effect of this will be to require railroads to pay war taxes out of their governmental compensation.

Realizing the seriousness of the sit­ uation, the German and Austrian em­ perors have conferred at length with their chiefs of staffs, and the German and Austro-Hungarian foreign minis­ ter who attended the. peace negotia­ tions at Brest-Litovsk. have.been sent back there post haste, probably for the purpose of attempting to moderate the situation. COMPULSORY RATIONING IN ENGLAND IS COMING London.—Compulsory rationing is to be put into effect In England at an early date, according to Lord Rhond­ da, food controller, speaking at Sil- verton: He prefaced his announce­ ment by saying that he was afraid that compulsory rationing would have to come, that it was on its way, and then declared that his department had completed a scheme and that as soon as the sanction of the cabinet had been received it would be carried out. SENDING RELIEF NOW TO VARIOUS SECTIONS Washington.—Fuel shortages.- in va­ rious parts of the country were given attention by the fuel administration. Furfner measures were taken to speed the movement of c-cal, and 700 cars .of bituminous were orderea diverted from the West Virginia .fields to re­ lieve distress in’ Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. Producers supplying New England were directed to make up solid trainloads of 25 cars of coal daily for routing over the Boston & Maine.

A saving each mouth of more than 6,600 pounds of white flour, approxi­ mately, the same quantity of beef and pork, and more than 2,600 pounds of sugar is reported by 56 hotels and cafes in North Carolina which an­ swered a recent questionnaire sent out by the Food Administration in terms of pounds. Others report a sav­ ing in these products of from 10 to 50 per pent of the normal consumption. Not' more than 20 per cent of the hotels co-operating with the Food Ad­ ministration answered the question­ naire in pounds or figures that could be reduced to pounds but it is esti­ mated that the total saving by the hotels and cafes in the State of food­ stuffs suitable for export is hardly less than ten tons per month each of wheat and meat and between four and five tons of sugar. Food Administration officials are exceedingly well pleased with the re­ sults that are being shown by the ho­ tels and cafes that are co-operating but they don’t feel kindly at all to­ ward the several score that are paying little or no attention to the observance of meatless and wheatless days and meatless and wheatless meals. It is stated, however, that the attitude of the patrons of eating houses is suc'n that hotels and cafes more and more are seeing that it is to their interest to line up with the Food Administra­ tion and recruits are constantly be­ ing secured.

Fire Losses Show Increase. ' Reports issued by the National Soard of Fire Underwriters recently on the November fire losses and for fire losses throughout the nation for the eleven months of the year ending December I show an enormous in­ crease over the last two preceding years. This in spite of the concerted efforts of insurance experts and fire prevention associations throughout the country to assist the government in the conservation movement to help win the war. The fire loss in the United StateB during November totaled $20,185,025 as against $19,898,450 in November, 1916. For the eleven months to De­ cember I, the loss was $241,200,340.' For the same period in 1916 the loss was $209,379,670 and for the same pe­ riod in 1915 the loss .was 182,836,200. Commenting on this great loss In­ surance Commissioner Toung says: “I am convinced that a great deal of the loss by fire is due to ignorance. It is hard to estimate which causes the most loss, ignorance or careless­ ness. Ignorance of the proper precau­ tions, Ior instance, to take in the handling of gasoline causes a great many fires and accidents. The use of gasoline has grown to such an ex­ tent within the last decade that the knowledge of how to handle it has not grown apace. Thousands of persons in North Carolina today are handling gasoline who haven’t any conception whatever of the" danger of the fluid and its gases. A recent report in the newspapers from a town in North Carolina tells of . all Uie employes'in a garage being overcome by some strange means. The statement was made that it was supposed the gas came from coai which had just been placed in a stove. The insurance de­ partment has several times issued warnings of the danger of carbon di­ oxide poison which comes from the gas emitted by the exhaust of gaso­ line engines. A number of cases of deaths have been reported from this cause. It was probably the same gas that caused these garage men to he overcome. The same ignorance is causing a great many of-the fires oc­ curring daily.” Every ounce of bread saved in every American home not only helps to win the war, but helps to save from starv­ ation some innocent woman or child in neutral Europe. In some sections of Europe practi­ cally every child under four years old has disappeared. The little ’ tots are the first to succumb • to . the horrors of famine. It is kinder to say that a man or woman is ignorant than that they are as to disregard the pitiful Conservation in North Carolina. Special from Washington, D. C.— lAn Army of Workers,” is the classifi­ cation applied by the United States Department of Agriculture to the 2,- 450,682 women and girls in the. South who enrolled for demonstration work in food production during 1917.- The achievements of these workers are suggested when '415 counties in South­ ern States were organized under wom­ en county agents. These agents in­ structed 37,964 girls in canning clubs, 9,656’ girls - in poultry clubs, 22,048 women as home demonstrators, and 2,211 women in poultry clubs. The Department of Agriculture through the co-operation of the Coun­ cil of National Defense, shipped In carload lots to certain Southern coun­ ties 10,000,000 cans. These were sold at cost plus the freight and handling charges. Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, North Carolina Home Demonstration Agent, notes that one. merchant in Wake county ordered nine carloads of ; glass containers and sold them a ll. within the confines of the county. j The total enrollment in the South of , women and girl demonstrators includ- j ed 51,575 girls in canning clubs, 13,466 , girls in poultry clubs, and 35,506 worn -1 en. The number of containers of fruits and vegetables packed by women and ■ girls under demonstration methods I was 5,144,747, with a valuation of ; $956,669. The women and girls culti­ vated 7,649 winter gardens. In North Carolina. The report of Mrs. Jane S. McKim­ mon indicates that 3,289,415 contain-: ers were filled in the summer by club I members in North Carolina, and that ’ 5,488,847 containers were filled by women outside the province of the ‘ demonstration organization. Thus the - total was 8,778,262 containers for 58 . counties. The valuation of these can-1 ned products were $2,179,362, with a j profit of $1,634,519 accruing to the can- : ners. The number of gallons brined was 22S.568, and 557,853 pounds of products were- dried. I In Eastern North Carolina, the dis- ! trict agent, through the co-operation of the North Carolina Bureau of Mar-. kets, sold 1,135 bushels of pears for ! $930.90. The oity of Durham, with the i assistance of County Agent M. R. Mc- j Girt and Miss Helen Simmons, county j demonstration agent, produced 65,000 j cans in its community canneries. The : city of Wilmington scored the record j in the State with the production of 75,-1 000 cans. The Caraleigh and -Raleigh Cotton Mills filled 54,868 containers in three months. This was accomplish? ed through the efforts of Miss Elsie Tarborough and a student at the State Normal College. They were assisted by 50 women in the mills. The United States Department of Agriculture comments thus on the work in the South: “War conditions and heeds have brought about a great extension of activities along the gen­ eral lines which the home demonstra­ tion workers have pursued for the last seven years In Southern States. For example, the very earnest campaigns of the last year for a home garden on every farm were a part of a “safe farming” program which has been ad­ vocated for several years. These cam­ paigns have extended to the citiea, towns and1 villages, and it is believed that the number of gardens increased during the last year from 200 to 300 per cent.” Mrs. McKimmon reports that the managers of .seven cotton mills in North Carolina requested the services of trained girls in the art of garden­ ing and canning. The, Patterson Mills at Roanoke RapidB employed a club girl for five months, and her achieve­ ments were so pronounced as to result in her retention as teacher and com­ munity worker. Fifty-eight girls in the Patterson Mills packed 9,664 con­ tainers. The three Cone mills of Greensboro each employed a canning specialist. Growing . Vegetables. The United States Department of Agricultu-e Isolds up the mills of North and South Carolina as examples for duplication where back-yard gar­ dens are available. The department has made a survey and discovered that workingmen’s families in mill villages in North Carolina and South Carolina made an average of $23.93 on back­ yard vegetable gardens. These gar?-'' dens averaged one-fourth of an acre in dimensions. The cost was $3.54, and the vegetables produced were val­ ued at $29.87. Says the survey: “These results of a little encouragement on the part of mill owners, while in no way remark? able agriculturally, are presented as suggestive of what the industrial es­ tablishments can do for its employes by locating where., the cost of living may be kept down by the home pro­ duction of food.” Nine North Carolina and South Car­ olina mill villages exhibited records of 548 gardens, 165 poultry flocks,' 74 cows, and 62. hogs.- The cost to main­ tain. each garden was $3.54, distributed' thus: labor $1.51; seed, $1.51; fertiliz­ ers, $0.52. The item of labor resolved itself into plowing and furrowing the garden. The average flock of poultry was be?, tween 13 and 14 fowls, With an aver­ age egg yield of 86 dozen. The ex-, penditure to maintain the individual flock was $16.22 and the return for each flock was $30.42. Twelve flocks were fed exclusively on table apd gar­ den waste. The family cow was in troduced successfully in the cotton mill villages. The cost of feed for each cow was $80.49, while the returns were $119.90. The pig proved to bo objectionable because of its unsani­ tary living conditions, and the families had pigs outside of the village earrying them feed a burden. OUTSIDE PALE Of HUMANITY Frightfulness Taught by German Leaders Belongs to Age of Barbarism. SOLEMN PLEDGE MERE WORDS Kaiser’s Statesmen Had No Intention of Keeping Faith With Their Agreement on International Law —Horrors Told by Diaries. In giving to the American people the knowledge of German inhuman­ ity in Belgium, says a pamphlet is­ sued by the committee on public in­ formation, the evidence is. drawn mainly from German and American sources. The German sources in­ clude official proclamations and other official utterances, letters and diaries of German soldiers, and quo­ tations from German newspapers. Thfi “Rules for Field Service" of the German army advises each soldier to keep such a diary while on active service. In the wars waged in ancient times it was taken for granted that con­ quered peoples might be either killed, tortured, or held as'slaves; that their property would be taken and that their lands would be devastated, i “Vae vic- tls!—woe to the conquered I” For two centuries or more there has been a steady advance in introducing ideas of humanity and especially in confining the eviis of warfare to the combatants. The ideal seemed to have become so thoroughly established as a part of in­ ternational law that the powers at The Hague thought it sufficient merely to state the general principles in Article XLVI of the regulations: “Family hon­ ors and rights, the lives of persons and private property, as well’ as re­ ligious convictions and practice, must be respected. Private property cannot be confiscated.” Germany, in common with the other powers, solemnly pledged her faith to keep this article, but her military leaders had no inten­ tion of doing so. They had been trained in the ideas voiced by Gen. von Hartmann 40 years ago: “Terrorism ‘is seen to be a relatively gentle pro­ cedure, useful to keep the masses of |the people in a state of obedience.” •This had been Bismarck’s policy, too. !According to Mpritz Busch, Bismark’s !biographer, Bismarck, exasperated by !the French resistance, which was still continuing in January, 1871, said: I “If In the territory which we occupy, ;we cannot supply everything for our troops, from tinie to time we shall send !a flying column Into the localities Which are recalcitrant. We shall shoot, hang and burn. After that has hap­ pened a few times, the inhabitants will finally come to their senses.” Horrors Told In Soldiers’ Diaries. ! The frigKtfulness taught by the Ger­ man leaders held full sway in Belgium. This is best seen In the entries In the !diaries of the individual German sol- 'diers. ;. “During the night of August 15-16 Engineer Gr gave the alarm in the town of Vise. Every-one was shot or taken prisoner, and. the houses were burnt The, prisoners were made to march and keep up with , the troops.” (From the diary of noncommissioned officer Reinhold Koehn of the Second battalion of engineers, Third army corps.) I “A horrible bath of blood. The whole village burnt, the French thrown into the blazing houses, civilians with the rest.” (From the diary of Private Hassemer of the Eighth army corps.) “In the night of August 18-19 the vil­ lage of Saint-Maurice - was punished for having fired on German soldiers by being burnt-to the ground t)y the Ger­ man troops (two regiments, the .Twelfth landwehr and the Seve: teenth.) The village was surrounded men posted about a yard from one an­ other, so that no one could get out. Then the Uhlans set fire to it, house by house. Neither man, woman, nor child could -escape; only the greater part of the live stock we carried off, as that could.be used. Anyone who ventured to come out was shot down. All the inhabitants left In the village were burnt with the houses.” (From the diary of Private Karl Scheufele of the Third Bavarian regiment and land­ wehr infantry.) v;v ' ■ .; “At ten o’clock In the evening the first battalion of the One hundred and Seventy-eighth marched down the steep Incline into the buiuing village to the burning village to the north of Dinant: A terrific spectacle of ghastly beauty. At the. entrance, to the village lay about fifty dead civilians, shot for having fired upon our troops from ambush. In the course of the night many others were also shot, so that we counted over 200. Women and children, lamp in hand, were forced to look on at the horrible scene. We ate our rice later in the midst of the corpses, for we had had nothing since morning. When we searched the houses we found plenty of wine and spirit, but no eatables. Captain Hamann was drunk.” (This last phrase In shorthand.) (From the diary of'Private Philipp of the One Hundred ' and Seventy-eighth regiment Of infantry, Twelfth army corps.) • Writing from Belgium in 1916 Irvln S. Cobb said: “Briefly what I saw was this: I saw wide areas of Belgian? and France in which not a penny’s worth of wanton destruction had been permitted to oc­ cur, In which the ripe pears.hung un­ touched upon the garden walls; and I saw other wide areas where scarcely one stpne had been left to stand upon another; where the fields were rav­ aged; where the male villagers hod been shot In squads; where the miser­ able survivors had been left to den In holes, like wild beasts.” Even Soldiers Horrified. Some German soldiers, we are glad to see, showed their horror at the foul deeds committed In Belgium. ! “The inhabitants have fled In the vil­ lage. It was horrible. There was clot­ ted blood on all the beards, and what faces one saw, terrible to behold I The dead, 60 in all, were at once buried. I Among them were many old women, some old men, and a half-delivered woman, awful to see; three children had clasped each other, and died thus. The altar and the vaults of the church are shattered. They had a telephone there to communicate with the enemy. This morning, September 2, all the sur­ vivors were expelled, and I saw four little boys carrying a cradle, with a baby five or six months old in it, on two sticks. All this was terrible to see. Shot after shot! Thunderbolt after thunderbolt! Everything is given over to pillage; fowls and the rest all killed. I saw a mother, too, with her two children; one had a great wound on the head and had lost an eye.” (From the diary of Lance Corporal Paul Spielman of the Ersatz, first bri­ gade of Infantry of the Guard.) “ . . . In the night the inhabitants of Liege became mutinous. Forty per­ sons were shot and 15 houses demol­ ished, 10 soldiers shot. Tlle sights here make you cry. “On the 23rd of August everything quiet. The inhabitants have so far given in. Seventy students were shot, 200 kept prisoners. Inhabitants re­ turning to Liege. “August 24. At noon, with 36 men on sentry duty. Sentry duty is A I, no post allocated to me. Our occupation, apart from bathing, is eating and drinking. AYe live like God in Belgium.” (From the diary of Joh. van der Sehoot, re­ servist of the Tenth company, Thirty- ninth reserve infantry regiment, Sev­ enth reserve army corps.) “Behaved Like Vandals.” "August 17. In the afternoon I had a look at the little chateau belonging to one of the king’s secretaries (not at home). Our men had behaved' like regular vandals. They had looted the cellar first, and then they had turned their attention to the bedrooms and thrown things about all over the place. They had. even made fruitless efforts to smash the safe open. Everything was topsy-turvy—magnificent furni­ ture, silk, and even china. That’s what happens when the men are allowed to requisition for themselves. I am sure they must have taken away a heap of useless stuff simply for the pleasure of looting.” “August 6th crossed frontier. Inhab­ itants on border very good to us and give us many things. There is no dif­ ference noticeable. “August 23rd, Sunday (between BIr- nal and Dinant, village of Disonge). At 11 o’clock the order comes to ad­ vance after t> artillery has thorough- up prepared .he ground ahead. The Pioneers and Infantry regiment 178 were marching in front of us. Near a small village the latter were fired on by the inhabitants. About 220 inhab­ itants were shot and the village was burnt—artillery is continuously shoot­ ing—the village lies in a large ravine. Just now, six o’clock in the afternoon, the crossing of the Maas begins near Dinant . . . AU villages, chateaux, and houses are burnt down during this night. It was a beautiful sight to see the fires all round us in the distance. “August 24.—In every village one finds only heaps of ruins and many dead." From the diary of Matbern, Fourth company, Eleventh Jager bat­ talion, Marburg.) AU Male Inhabitants Shot. “A shell burst near the Eleventh company, and wounded seven men, three very severely. At five o’clock we were ordered by the officer in com­ mand of the regiment to shoot all the male inhabitants of Nomeny, because the population was foolishly attempt­ ing to stay the advance of the German troops by force of arms. AVe broke into the houses, and seized all who resisted, In order to execute them according to martial law. The houses which had not been already destroyed by the French artillery and our own were set on fire by us, so that nearly the whole town was reduced to ashes. It is a ter­ rible sight when helpless women and children, utterly destitute, are herded together and driveq Into France.” (From the diary of Private Fischer, Eighth Bavarian regiment of infantry, Thirty-third reserve division.) I WM10 H E IHE H E W EVERY GOOD AMERICAN EARNING FAIR LIVING WILL HELP TO PAY EXPENSES OF WAR. RETURNS DUE BEFORE MARCH Too Many Servants In Britain. Duncan Miller asked the minister of national service, says the London Times, whether his attention has been called to the number of advertisements for servants in households of one, two or three persons, where seven to ten indoor servants are already kept, and wheth’er he proposes to limit the num­ ber of indoor servants' employed in each household. The minister of na­ tional service replied that he had al­ ready pointed out how essential it is, in the national interest, that no per­ son should employ more servants than are absolutely necessary. The min­ ister trusts that the awakened con­ sciences of those who have In this respect failed to appreciate their duty will provide an immediate and suffi­ cient remedy.

'Vfishinrton.—“Must P*bay an in­ come tnx?” 1 'i Iiat is the question that thousands of Americans are asking. The answer, In a general way, lies in this state­ ment : Every unmarried person having a net income of .$1,000 or more, and ev­ ery married person or head of a fam­ ily having an income of $2,000 or more must file a return. These returns must be in the hands of the collector of in­ ternal revenue in the district in w.hieh the taxpayer lives or has his principal place of business between January I and March 1,1918. The man who thinks to evade this tax Is making a serious errpr. Revenue officials will be In every county to check returns. Failure to make a cor­ rect return within the time specified involves heavy penalties. “Net income” means gross Income less certain deductions provided for by the act. The law defines income as profit, gain, wages, salary, commis­ sions, money or- its equivalent from professions, vocations, commerce, trade, rents, sales and dealings in prop­ erty, real and personal, and interest from investments except interest from government bonds, or state, municipal township or county bonds. Incomes from service as guardian, trustee or •executor; from dividends, pensions, royalties, or patents, or oil and gas wells, coal land, etc., are taxable. Normal Rate Is 2 Per Cent. The normal rate of tax is 2 per cent on net incomes above the amount of exemptions, which is $2,000 in the case of a married person or head of a fam­ ily and $1,000 in the case of a single person. A married person or head of a family is allowed an additional ex­ emption of $200 for each dependant child if under -eighteen years of age or incapable of self-support because defective. The taxpayer is considered to be the head of a family if he is actually supporting one or more per­ sons closely connected with him by blood relationship or relationship by marriage, or if his duty to support such person is based on some moral or legal obligation/ Debts ascertained to be worthless and charged off within the* year and taxes paid except income taxes and those assessed against local benefits are deductible. These and other points of the income tax sect ion, of the war revenue act will be fully explained by revenue officers who will visit every county in the United States between January 2 and March I to assist tax­ payers in.making out their returns. Officers to Visit Every Locality. Notice of their arrival In each local­ ity will be given in advance through the press, banks and post offices. They wlU be supplied, with income tax forms copies of which may be obtained also from collectors of internal revenue. The bureau ot Internal revenue is seeking to Impress upon persoas sub­ ject to the tax the fact that failure to see this official in no way relieves them of the duty imposed by law to file their returns within the time speci­ fied. The government, is not required to eeek the taxpayer. The taxpayer Is required to seek the government. Per­ sons in doubt as to whether they are subject to the tax or not or as to bow to make out their returns, will-readily understand, therefore, that a visit to this official may mean the avoidance of later difficulties. The penalty for failure to make the return on time is a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $1,000, and in addition 50 per cent of the amount of the tax due. For making a false or fraudulent return, the penalty is a fine not to exceed $2,000 or not ex­ ceeding one year’s imprisonment, or both, In the discretion of the court, and In addition 100 per cent of the tax evaded. As to the Farmers. The number of farmers who will pay income taxes has not been estimnted by the government officials, but it is certain they will form a large percen­ tage of the 6,000,000 persons assessed who never before have paid an income tax. The average farmer does not keep books but if he avails himself of the services of government experts who will be sent to aid him, it will not be difficult for him to ascertain the amount of his net income. The former is making out his return may deduct depreciation in the value of property and machinery used In the conduct of his farm, and loss by fire; storm or other casualty, or by theft if not covered by insurance. Expenses actually incurred In farm .operation may be deducted, but not family or liv­ ing expense. Produce raised on tbe farm and'traded for.groceries, wearing apparel, etc., is counted as living ex­ penditures and cannot be deducted. Salaries paid by the state or a polit­ ical subdivision of the state are ex­ empt. • A farmer holding the job of county supervisor, for instance,' does not have to include his salary in his- in­ come tax return.

Sir Bernard Mallet, registrar gen­ eral, addressing the Royal Statistical society recently, said that in England and AVales 200,000 people had married between August, 1914, and .Tune, 1917, while in Hungary, the only other bel­ ligerent country for which complete figures were available, the figure was 600,000. By the end of June, 19,18, the United Kingdom would have lost by the fall In births over 500,000 potential lives, 10,000 per million of the popula­ tion.

PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS The eymptoms of kidney and bladder troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in a run-down condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al­most every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles whioh should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous Mdney troubles. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root which, so many people say, soon heals and strength­ens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle heal­ing- effect on the Mdneys, which is al­ most immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.

Wliat immediately followed; how we made ourselves shipshape the best we could, and held on for the nest few hours, has comparatively but little to do with the interest of this story. Lea- vord brought the two men on deck, and os Dade was no sailor, but more likely to prove faithful, lie was sent down the ladder to assist Masters in the fire- room. Dugan took the change In ad­ ministration aboard with sea-going philosophy, seemingly feeling no ani­ mosity because of the rough handling received, and went to work under my orders with hearty good will. We were all four of us capable seamen, and an liour of hard work placed the Indian Chief in very fair condition, so far as deck and running rigging was con­ cerned. At the end. however, standing on the forecastle, and staring aft, I tad faith that we could handle the liooker, even with that small crew, and lirinc her safely into the harbor of St. John’s. Our earlier weather predic­ tions were not yet verified, at least to any serious extent. Indeed there was nothing particular to worry about, ex­ cepting that temporary steering ap­ paratus. and it had worked long enough now so as to give me confidence. “What do you make of it, Mr. Lea- .vord?” I questioned, indicating both sea and sky by a wave Of the hand. “Was it a circular storm, leaving us outside of its radius?” “So. sir: it’s not that,” and he drew the back of his hand across his lips. “Dnpin an’ I talked about it on the mainyard yonder, an’ ’tis our judg­ ment. sir. that it’s just a slow brooder. There won’t be no quick change, but the' weather ’11 just gradually get heavier until we’re scuddin’ under bare poles. It’ll be maybe termorrow night before we gets its full weight.” “But you have no doubt we'll weather it?” “Barrin’ an accident. When do you expect to make that port, sir?" “St. John’s? Well, we’re a bit off our course now. I'm afraid we may be another night afloat.” He stood motionless, one hand shad­ owing his eyes, as he gazed out over the port rail. “I was a’ thinkin’ o’ them poor cusses out there in the boats, sir,” he said finally. ‘Tm bettin’ that most o’ them wish they wus back on this deck by sow.” “No doubt; but there’s no way we can help them, and we’ve got our own xrork to do. Tou and Olson go below.” I watched the two disappear through the companion, spoke a word to Dugan, posting him where he could hear me call if necessary, and then went aft to the wheel. I had not realized the full weight of the gale until I reached the top of the ladder, and stood erect with- ont tiny protection from the cabin. For an instant I had to grasp the side rail, Bharling my eyes with an arm; then I (trtiRgled forward, until my hands pinned the wheel. “Why didn’t you call for help?” I asked. “This was too much for any ■Soman. I never realized forward how S! was blowing.” She swayed against me, clinging to Biy sleeve. “It—it does kick some,” she panted, “and I was almost afraid !,might let 1 Struggled Forward Until My Hands Gripped the Wheel. ?°i I-—I am glad you came.

I am so tired—the strain of it; the fear I could not hold out—” “I know.” I bent and kissed her, and she clung to me. “But do not think of that any longer; you must go to your room at once and lie down.” “But you will stay’ on deck all night?” "Not unless the storm increases. In an hour or so I’ll call the others, and lie down myself. Come, dear, you.be­ long in the watch below.” That certainly seemed a lonely deck after she had disappeared down the ladder. I had serveii many a quiet watch at sea, many a memorable one, but that hour taught me the real les­ son of loneliness. We *were driving forward recklessly into a wall of dark­ ness, utterly impenetrable to the eye. What horror might be lurking just ahead of the plunging bow, no imagina­ tion could picture. From where I stood, clutching the spokes of the wheel, I could not even trace the yards of the mainmast, nor could I perceive on either side the water through which we drove. Yet it was not this which pulled so at my nerve. I had stood at the wheel often before guiding a great ship through impenetrable blackness, and amid the immensity of the ocean. But then I was one of a crew, alert and ready, merely performing my part of a given task. But ,now I could not drive from me the consciousness that I stood there alone; that on all that space of deck forward only one solitary man crouched in the blackness; that below in the engineroom, and stokehole, only two more; already worn, and weary with toil, stuck grimly to their work; that under my control this great freighter, loaded almost to the deck beams, was flying before the storm, plunging through the wild waters of the mid-Atlantic, with death hovering above in the shriek of the storm. Yet I clung to it grimly, no longer making any attempt to hold any settled course, but merely choosing the easier way in which to meet the force of the storm. It was two o’clock when, too thor­ oughly wearied to stand the strain longer, I sent Dugan below to call the mates. Leayord was the heavier man, and the more experienced sailor, so, at my suggestion, he took the wheel, while Olson went forward. I can recall creeping down the' ladder, and stag­ gering down the stairs, but nothing more. I must have been asleep even before I reached the berth in the cap­ tain’s stateroom. A hand shook me, and I opened my eyes. For an Instant I was too dazed to comprehend. The port was closed, but daylight streamed through the thick glass illuminating the stateroom, and I recognized Olson bending over me. “I had to call you, sir,” he explained kindly. “The main royal has broke loose, an’ it’ll take all hands-ter stow it again In this wind; besides that fel­ ler Dugan he’s gin out entirely, an’ there's got ter be another hand sent below to the stokehole.” I sat up, already thoroughly awake. “What Ume is it?” “Goin’ on half after four, sir.” “Why I thought I had just dropped off. Any Increase In the weight of the gale, Olson?” “No, sir; I don’t think the wind is quite so heavy, and it’s gettin’ more steadylike, but there’s considerable sea.” “I can tell that the way the ship pitches; she’s taking water forward.” “Tons o’ it; the damned hooker is loaded so deep she’s more like a wharf than a ship.” It was a wild scene enough when I emerged from the companion and paused a moment in the protection of the CjUnn to view the deck forward. Huge crested waves burst over the forecastle heads, cascading down onto the main deck, and sweeping aft to the scuppers amidships. The vessel stag­ gered under the repeating blows, yet recovered with a buoyancy which gave me senewed courage, plunging forward again to meet the next assault. The Continuous boom as they struck; against our bows, the mad flapping of the loosened canvas aloft, the ceaseless shrieking of the cordage, made a pan­ demonium of noise which rendered the human voice almost useless. I put my lips to Olson’s ear. “Can the three of us pass those gas­ kets?” “It’s got to be done, sir, unless we let the sail go; but it’s goin’ to be no boy’s job.” “Where's Dugan?” "Hangin' there to the shrouds, a’ waitin’ for us.” “Then come on; the sooner it’s over with,, the better.” We went up the ratlines like snails every burst of wind driving us flat against the ropes, where we hung on grimly. Dugan was first to lay out upon the footropes, and I felt no regret when Olson slipped past me in the top, bawling in my ear: “Let me go next, sir, you haven’t been at this sort o’ job lately.” -However, I made it In my turn, the wind driving me flat against the spar, the footrope dancing madly beneath my weight, the flapping canvas of the loosened sail as stiff as iron.- jDugan had the worst of it, but he clung there like a cat, stubbornly fighting Indi by inch as he drew In the cloth. He must have had the strength of a giant, and the grip of a vise. It was a ten-minute battle, and when I got safely back into the maintop every muscle of my body throbbed with pain, and I sank down against the mast, struggling to regain my strength. I had my head buried in my arm, conscious only of the wild leaping of the mast, and the sickening sensation caused by its constant sway­ ing, when Dugan’s shout sent the blood pounding to my heart. He stood up­ right,, clinging to a stay, staring' forth into the smother oft the port bow. “Look, sir! There’s a boat! See, yonder; she’ll top the crest In a sec­ ond—there I” I had a glimpse of something—a black speck in the midst of the break- A ThriIliog War Story of th e North Atlantic Huge, Crested Waves Burst Over the Forecastle Head. ing spray—but could not be sure of what it was. _ “Are you certain it is a boat?” I questioned. “The thing had no shape to me. What do you say, Olson?” “A boat, sir; there was a slip o’ sail hoisted; it’s my notion she’s hoved to, Iidtn' to a drag. There she is again.” Aye, I got a fair view that time, as the cockle-shell was thrown high up on the crest of the wave. It was sick­ ening to see that black object hurled high up against the sky, and then dis­ appear utterly into the hollow. The boat must be hove to; there would be no living otherwise in that sea, and the very fact that it remained afloat was evidence of sailors aboard. I drew my­ self to my feet, clinging with one hand to a stay, hollowing the other to make my voice reach the deck below. “Mr. Leiayord I” “Aye, aye, sir." “There is a small boat off the port quarter, riding to a drag.” “A what, sir?” “A ship’s boat off the port quarter— too far away to tell what’s aboard her. Can you let her head fall off a point?" “Not without another hand at the wheel; it takes all my strength to hold her as she is.” “Jump down, Dugan, and lay aft; we must get that boat to leeward, if we help those fellows In this sea.” “Aye, aye, sir.” • He scrambled over the top, but Olson and I were content to use the lubber’s hole, reaching the deck later, and glad enough to be there alive. I dived into the cabin after a glass, stopping long enough to explain what we had sight­ ed to Vera, who appeared in her state­ room door, fully dressed. “You have not been in bed?” I asked, indignantly. “Oh, but I have; indeed I haVfe. Why I must have slept four hours, but I lay down fully dressed. I—I didn't know what might happen. Could you see If there were men in the boat?” “No, not to distinguish them with the naked eye; the glass will reveal that; but the boat must be occupied to keep afloat In this sea.” ’ “Who can they be, do you suppose— shipwrecked sailors?” “It would be my guess it will prove to be one of our own boats we’ve over­ hauled.” *“But how could we?” “The wind changed after midnight, and, w’ith only the. one hand at the wheel, we were obliged to pay off, and run before It. It is not impossible that we are back in almost the same section of sea where we left those fellows. Come up on deck, and we’ll know shortly.” She went in for a wrap, but joined me almost immediately. I must have been five minutes locating the boat, yet finally caught It fairly on the crest of a wave. Bven at that distance two recognized faces leaped instantly into the circle of vision—Liverpool and Mc­ Cann. “It’s our own quarterboat,” I an­ nounced shortly, endeavoring to keep my glasses trained on the right spot. “McCann, and those devils with him=.” “Then, shall we stand by, sirZ” asked Leayord. “Why should W£ be picking up that scum?” I glanced aside at him. “Why, Mr. Leayord? Well, one rea-- son is, we are American seamen. Those fellows can scarcely hurt us now, and a hand or two more aboard will help us to make port. We’ve got to have firemen below, and Kapello would be able to' spell Masters In the engine- room. I look on their coming as a God­ send. Let your helm off another point —there, steady now; hold her just as she is.” ' Again I caught the boat in the focus of the leveled glasses; it was measura­ bly nearer now, but I could only see four men aboard the craft, the other two being White and Rapello. The tiller was gone, the man at the stern, Jim White, steering by means of a long oar; the sail had been whipped into rags, and a canvas shirt substi­ tuted. One man was on his knees bail­ ing furiously, and Tony had an arm in a sling. So intent was I In this en­ deavor to decipher the details of the tragedy through the glass, I was un­ aware that Vera had climbed the lad­ der, and now stood beside me, clinging to the rail. Her voice aroused me to her presence. “Why; there are only four of them?” “Yes; the}' must have passed through Hades last night,” I answered. “Here, fake the glass; there are two bodies lying In the bottom of the boat.” “Can you manage the wheel alone for a bit, Mr. Leayord?” “I can try, sir.” “Miss Carrington, would you mind giving the mate a hand?” She fought her'way across to him without a word, leaving the glass on the deck. “Good; hold her as she is, and have Masters slow down. It is going to be a ticklish job to get those fellows on board; has anyone a suggestion?” "A running noose from the lower main-yard, sir,” said Olson. : “That will take only one at a time.’ “Two, If they’re quick enough about it; but it’s the only way, sir. That boat wouldn’t live a second- close in alongside.” “Bight you are; you and Dugan lay sut on the yard and get the whip rigged; pick a strong cord and see that !t fits Oie pulley block. I’ll keep to the leek, and ease them in. Pass the end Iown to me; lively novj.” Those in the boat saw what we were attempting, realizing at once that we meant to take them aboard. The re­ lief felt was instantly expressed by the waving of hands, and a faint cry reached us across the water. McCann even endeavored to stand up, but was jerked^ down again. No doubt the rec­ ognition of the ship had left them In total despair of rescue, their one thought' being that we would permit them to drift by, rather than take them aboard again. The gap between CHAPTER XXVII. A Dead Man In the Cabin. The glimpse was but for an instant, the, boat disappearing as it dropped into the hollow. ' J "Boat Ahoyln I Roared. us slowly closed, I could see their faces clearly, uplifted in agonized ap­ peal. They were haggard, crusted with salt, piteous enough In their silent pleading to make me forget the past. “Boat ahoy!” I roared. “Keep well away from the side; we’ll whip you In from the main yard. Have you oars?” “One pair, sir.” It was Liverpool, and I was glad to note the tone of respect In his answer. “Then hold her back, and drift in slowly stern first; you get the idea. Are those dead men?” VOne of them is; Dnbois has his leg broken.” “We'll send a sling down; put Du­ bois In first, and the rest of you stand by. Are you ready now?” “Aye, aye, sir.” Olson joined me at the rope, Dugan remaining outstretched on the yard, the ship held motionless except for the rise and fall of the waves. The boat drifted cautiously in stern first, held by the two oars in the hands of Liver-' pool and White. The former roughly assumed command. "Get up there, McCann; on .your knees now; for heaven’s sake don’t miss that rope, and hold on hard; take a turn around that thwart amidships— no! don’t make fast! Give Tony the end; he has one hand yet.- Now get Dubois into the sling; d you, man, you’ve got to; we can’t leave these oars. Take a grip there, Dubois, and help yourself. That’s better.” He lift­ ed his arm in signal. ilAll right, sir, swing away!” 1 It was a good half hour’s job, and a hard one; twice the boat nearly swamped, and went down. Liverpool was the last to leave the boat, already half filled with water. As he rose slow­ ly, gripping the rope with his hands, unable to get foot In the noose, the deserted craft floated away, the dead body of Watson half covered with water. The four of them made a sorry look­ ing bunch on the deck, but now that they were safe, my feeling of sym­ pathy had vanished. I could only re­ call their treatment of us, and the dan­ ger we still ran in having them once again aboard. Nothing vans to be gained by soft words with such as they. I stepped across to front them, and Ol­ son and Dugan joined me. “Now, look here,” I said grimly. We’ve taken you aboard because we’re human beings; but there’s going to be no mistake as to your exact status on this ship. You’ll take your orders from me, and I’ll kill the first man-jack of you who shows a sign of treachery. What became of Sachs?” McCann was still gasping from his drop into the sea, and could not an­ swer, although I addressed my ques­ tion to him. Liverpool replied: “He knifed Watson, and Dubois knocked him overboard with an oar; he never cum up.” “Was it in the fight Dubois got hurt?” “No, he was hit by the boom, an’ Tony there broke his arm when he fell into the boat off the ship’s ladder.” “All right; three of you are fit for work, and Tony can stand watch in the engineroom. Have you had anything to eat?” “Yes, sir, In a way; there was food in the boat.” “Then you have fared in that respect better than we have. White, you go below and hustle coal; you climb down also Tony, and relieve Masters. Tell him to He down and get some rest. Move along now; I’ll be down there myself presently.” I turned to McCann. “Get up from there; you are a hand on board this ship the rest of the voyage.- Do yon understand? Answer me—do yon?” “Yes.” “Do better than that.” “Yes, sir.” “Very well; now you and Liverpool pick up Dubois, and put him In num­ ber seven stateroom. Make him as com­ fortable as. possible, but don’t be long about i t Then report on deck to Mr. Olson; he’ll keep you busy, and out of mischief. A word with you, Olson.” • The second mate crossed the deck with me to the rail; the drifting boat had disappeared, having either sunk, or being hidden in the hollow of the great surges. The screw was begin­ ning to revolve once more with power, the planks trembling under foot and a bit of sunshine was streaming through the clouds overhead. I stood silent a moment, endeavoring to think out the situation, and Olson waited patiently, his eyes sweeping the sky and then the sen. “What do you think of our guests?" I asked finally. “Can we trust them at all?” “Not so far as you could swing a bull by the tail, sir," he answered soberly. “They ain’t forgot the night In the boat yet, but there’s just as much devil in ’em as there ever was.” “Your opinion is, they will never Jielp sail this ship Into St. John’s, if any villainy will save them?” “That’s It1 sir; they’re so black now, they won’t mind a little more.” "That’s my judgment; we must keep them apart as much as we can, and have an eye on them all the time. How about Dugan?” “He talks straight enough, and to my notion means to play square” “That was my impression; he’s Irish, aed hot-headed, but no criminal. NVe ought to be able to keep the fel­ lows separated. Besides I'll be about most of the time.” “How ibng do you suppose it will be, sir?” “Today and another night likely; I can tell better when I get an obser­ vation sit noon. It will not give them much time for plotting.” I sent the two forward with Olson when they returned to the deck from the cabin, and he busied them gather­ ing* up the riffle about the forecastle caused by the night’s storm. McCaim moved as though scarcely able to exert himself, but Bed took hold as if glad to be occupied. Vera came down the ladder, and we spoke together briefly, about what had occurred. She finally volunteered to get some food ready, and I went below with her, rousing up Dade, and putting him at work under her orders. An hour later all aboardi enjoyed a warm meal, eating alike In the after cabin. . ■___ ' (TO BB CONTINUED.) “ BEST MEDICINE FOR WOMEN* Wfcal Lydia E. Pinkham’as Vegetable Compound Did For Ohio Woman.

Cj S I ATTACK OF KNITTING NERVES Many Women Suffering From Trouble and an Epidemic Feared, Declares Physical Director. Now it’s “knitting nerves,” caused by concentration of nlind and hand on the needles. Thousands of women In New York are afflicted, according to Dr. Louis R. Welzmiller, physical di­ rector of the West Side Y. SI. C. ‘A., who adds that his only patients show­ ing symptoms of the new war-time complaint lufve been women. Doctor Welzmiller says that there is liable to . be an epidemic of “knitting nerves” unless, knitters learn to knit properly. He offers the following advice as a remedy: “Dou't hunch over your knitting; sit upright, and when your mind tells you you have knitted enough, quit. There are 365 day in a year, and you can’t finish, e sweater In a day, no matter how nfljch you love a sildoer or a sail­ or.” Dr. C. P. Christenson of the Psycho­ logical Research society concurred In the predictions of Doctor Welzmiller. He attributed the nerve scourge to the failure of women folk to compre­ hend "the vibrations of nerve laws.” He continued: “The women are overworking them­ selves. ICnittIng lias become a craze. Nerves cannot stand this strain.” SOSCHEE’S GERMAN SYRUP Why use ordinary cough remedies, when Bcschee’s German Syrup has been used so successfully for fifty-one years in all parts of the United States for coughs, bronchitis, colds settled in the throat, especially lung •troubles.

SO and 90 cent bottles.—Adv. X -Put .to Work by Women. The resourcefulness of women can- -teen-workers in the French field is Il­ lustrated by a recent achievement re­ ported from.Paris headquarters of the , .American Red Cross. Seven of these ■workers were operating a rest station * t one of the aviation camps abroad. Having an insufficient number of tin cups for the ues of the canteen, the head worker discovered that there were several plumbers among the Ger­ man prisoners working about the •camp. She gathered a quantity of -empty tin cans and set the plumber ■prisoners to work fashioning drinking -cups. The canteen was quickly sup- - plied with plenty of well-made tin -cups, with ..neat handles made from •the covers. May Soon Call or Women. Women and children “for the pres­ ent” will not be made subject to com­ pulsory munition work in Germany. The reichstag committee on national service raised objections to a proposed project to make women and even youths between fifteen nnd seventeen subject to compulsory munition work. The war office then stated that “for the present" it will not be necessary to call Iip the women and children. Bermuda's Imports.

ALWAYS IN DANGER Two Operators Have Narrow Escapes Photographing Railway Wreck in Georgia When Engineer’s, Plans Go Awry. New York.—Thrilling scenes repro­ duced on the moving picture screen al­ ways are.obtained at the risk of the lives of some daring photographers who are willing to take all manner of chances in order to obtain correct ex­ posures. When the people in the the­ ater see an engineer jumping from a locomotive and the speeding engine plunge to destruction, accompanying the thrill of excitement that starts every heart jumping comes the thought that danger is over. It never occurs to a single individual that danger .has just begun for the camera man, to­ ward whom that runaway locomotive is racing at record speed, and that he may not leave his post until his posi­ tion is rendered absolutely unsafe and it is impossible to make more ex­ posures. An indication of the manner in which producers look at the lives of their “film shooters” is shown In the fact that every man Is insured for $10,000 before each risky operation. Usually the Insurance is not collected, but narrow escapes are amost as nu­ merous as are staged thrillers. Plans for Wreck Went Awry. Rcently a New York house planned to photograph a thrilling wreck in Georgia. Photographers were stationed In relays, some a quarter of a mile from the wreck location, where the engineer leaped from the train and others in close succession so that ev­ ery feature of the racing train’s course might be sought. At the point selected for the wreck, a box car was chained to the railroad track, and en­ gineers figured that when the locomo­ tive struck the obstruction it would turn, fall down a sharp grade and ex­ plode. In line with the box car was a photographer on a , 28rfoot platform to catch the crash. Down at the base of the steep embankment was another in a trench to catch-the explosion of the engine among the wreckage. But plans went awry.'—• - _ • ■■..•■ ~ When the engine struck the box carv It did not stop but'pldwfed thrbiigh the' mass and the instant the operator near: the track caught :his section, he leaped. w h a i { m \w Do 7 The business of the American Ited Oross is “To aid in the prevention and alleviation of human suffering in times of peace and war." It was origi­ nally organized to supplement the med­ ical services of armies in times of war. When the American National Red Cross, by act of the United States con­ gress, approved January 5, 1905, was Incorporated and placed under govern­ ment supervision, its purposes—rin ad­ dition .to.Its duties in times of war— were declared to be: “To continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same In mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, fam­ ine, fire, floods nnd other national ca­ lamities.” This organization has there­ fore a great work to do at all times; for there is always human suffering to be alleviated, but now that the world Is racked with wtfr, its work is tre­ mendous, and it is doing it In a way that should make every man, woman or child who belongs to the Red Cross proud to be a member. It is the only hope of thousands of suffering human beings and stands between them and cold, hunger, sickness and despair. It Is the instrument by which each one of us may make himself useful; our only means of extending helping hands to the innocent victims of the war. No one can start the new year in a better way than by joining (he Red Cross and by aiding in the campaign for new members,. In time of- war the Red Cross chapters handle their ne1 nyities through various committees. They undertake to raise and collect funds; to manufacture hospital gar­ ments nnd supplies: to take charge of transportation and supplies; to aid families of soldiers and sailors and their widows and children; to train for and assist In securing self-supporting positions for those permanently crip­ pled or blinded. In any one of these lines of work women have proved themselves efficient. The manufacture of hospital garments and supplies Is left almost wholly to them, while men handle the matter of raising and col­ lecting funds and taking charge of transportation. The work in hand just now calls for special activity In securing new mem­ bers. The business men in any com­ munity are the ones to undertake the ( planning 'and carrying out of cam-; paigns for increased membership in the Red Cross. In cities of consider­ able size good work is often done by creating a rivalry between men in va­ rious lines of business; the grocers un­ dertaking to secure a greater number of members, for instance, than the dry goods men—or employees of one house entering into friendly competition with those of another house In the same line of business. An able business man at the hend of a drive for new mem­ bers will be able to engineer It in the most, practical and efficient way. House to house canvassing for new members is about .the most thorough­ going method.. Calomel Today! Sick Tomorrow!

Instead of turning back­ ward and rolling down the embank­ ment, the engine made a plunge at the dugout in which an operator was con­ cealed. He ran up a ladder just In time to escape the weight of the mam-, moth machine as it crushed into his trench. The engine failed to explode as was planned, but even before the danger was past photographers were “shooting close ups” in the wreckage. Coats That Welcome the . Cold Early Submarines. The modern submarine is the result of the slow development of an idea and the cumulative work of many in­ ventors. Successful experiments in submarine navigation were made con­ siderably more than 100 years ago. In 1747 the Gentleman's Magazine, a Lon­ don periodical, published a picture of a'submarine boat that was being op­ erated on the Thames. It was invent­ ed by an Englishman named Symons. Between 1773 and 1776 an American named Bushnell built a submarine boat which was used in actual warfare, but with little or no effect. It embodied some of the features of the modern submarine. Between 1796 and 1810 Robert Fulton, American inventor of the steamboat, built several subma­ rines which served to demonstrate the feasibility of underwater navigation, but he died before completing his ex­ periments. Experiments and inven­ tions continued In several different countries until the present fighting machine was developed.

He routed the bees and seized the store of honey, but the bees “counter-attack­ ed” and young'Hoag is exhibiting nu­ merous wounds he says were inflicted by their stingers.. .- The tonic of the cold is to be thank­ ed ,for much of our 'progress. North­ erners, obliged to stand it for-months, get the habit of industry and resource­ fulness ; they have learned how to clothe themselves, to defy the weather and even to enjoy it. Inasmuch as there are not enough furs on the mar­ ket to put fur garments in the reach, of everyone, and because the, manufac­ ture of fur clothing involves much time and work, which mean expense— the looms have been called upon to weave substitutes which provide as much warmth as the pelts of animals. Of course wool is our great depend­ ence In putting up defenses against the blasts of winter. The supreme achievements against the cold are voluminous coats of fur, or of cloth lined with fur. Next to. these are fur fabrics and cioth woven to Insure warmth.' Coats made of these and trimmed with big collars and generous, cuffs of fur- make their wearers rejoice In winter and the vigor that Is its gift. It Is a tonic only bit­ ter to those who do not know how to keep comfortable, or have not the means to. Illustrated above is a coat for the heart of winter.’ It might be devel­ oped In many of the flat furs and trim­ med with marten, but as pictured It is made of handsome seal plush. Its enveloping shawl collar broadens Into «. cape over the' Shoulders and back. and it has huge marten cuffs that may well answer the purpose of a muff. The wide band of marten about the bottom of the coat add3 to its luxuri­ ous looks, more than to Its actual warmth, serving a good purpose In both these'directions. For one of the duties of the comfortable midwinter coat is to look Its part This ample, straight hanging, con­ servative design is to be recommended for the midwinter coat, whether of fur or of wool fabric. When the active northern woman dons a coat of this kind, she gets into It and expects to stay in it for three or four months, or until the siege of winter is raised. Such a coat is suitable for street, mo­ tor and other wear, and it is designed on lines of proved merit. Its service­ able qualities are expected to outlast several winters, and its business Is to be warm and convenient This It ac­ complishes along with a style that does not point to other days.

Christmas passed off very quietly in Mocksville, But few firecrackers and less booze was in evidence. So far as we have heard, there was not a drunken man or boy on our streets during the holidays.

JANUARY 16. 1918.NUMBER 27 Blockading At Jiigh TideiA According to Hon. J. W. Bailey, Collector of Ioternitfr BeVenUe- for the eastern half of theState.whis- key blockaders atoddtog alandof- gee business, in NprtbCaroljpa, and have been for the last year. ' In an interview in the'Neiyfe and iQbser- rer Mr BailPyIgiyto1 fi£flres show ing that nearly one fourth of., all the blockade etills seized1 ii the' United States d iu in g to e last seven years were operating in~North Car­ olina. .:j We agree with the News apd Ob­ server that whileweNortli Caro- iiniaue are always1 fond flfa^reeing among ourselves that where North Carolina sits is the head df the ta ble.we take no paHicular pride < in the fact the State’s pre-eminence also extends to illicit distilling. Mr. Bailey Shows vthatCfewer blockade stills were seized by. rey. euue officers in North Carolina dur­ ing the year 1917 than iu -1916 This isnodoubt due tp tbe-.;fapt that the deputy collectors and dep- uty marshals have been so . busy collecting income and . othar.^wai- taxes, that they have hot had time to keep up with the blockaders- as closely since the war began aSfhey did before. And. this meeds Cthat there are more—possibly twice Sb many—blockade: ,distilleries : $un-- ning in the State today-than- there were a year agoJ Ot coarse it was to have been ex­ pected that blockading ^wbulb^inr crease greatly, when: it Was’ ’ made' more dificult to import - Whiskpy. Nevertheless, the situation is' one that can and should be handled ,by the county and State officers.' Sn-' perior Court Judges, Solicitors, Sheriffs and deputy Sheriffs can put the blockaders out of.- business ' without the aid of thb,Bederaljbffi^ cess if they w ill. tackle " the ,job. And the time has come when they should either tackie-if in ’. earnest or get off the job. Ang Sheriff or Solicitors who is not willing to make an honest effort ' to enforce the law against she manufacture and sale of liquor id NortE1Cafoliua' should have self-respect enough, to resign. For he commit^ rperj ury every day he permits ^blockading to go on in the territory over which he has jurisdiction Withouii making an effort to bring theguiUyparties to justice. Every Sheriff evZ ery Solicitor takes a solemn oath to enforce the law when he assumes office. 'I North Carolina cannot'afford to let her name heralde’d.to the world- continuously as the chief home;-, of such lawlessness. The reputation of the state has already^gainedin this respect is a discridit 'to every/ good citizen of the Commonwealth.^ The only thing for the dtoent peo­ ple of the State to lift this stigma is to unite in a determination not to tolerate such conditions !any longer. Mr. Bailey has\done ,the people of North CdrblihaTa great service by telling them'"the 'tiuth" About conditions! Sow that they kno v the trtitk we/tielieye th.ey will wake up.

A great-ideal has’been said from time to'time abont allegedjGermafi! atrocities in connection with J thp war. Beports of horrible incidents of various kindsihave, beeit heard: frequently, and uo few of these re­ ports have been verified. Dr New­ ell Dwight Hillia, for instance, has made in pnbiic addressesisome ex . posures along this line that indeed show appailiog conditions. From time to time reports' have been heard that German soldiers, iu-some instauces’had cut off the hands of children. People . were naturally loath to believe each things and consequently gave fall credit to the denials th'at -were made. Therefore the following ex­ tract from an article by Mr. E.. E. Harriman, of the Vigiiantes, is sig­ nificant, to say the least: “I told my friendj Mr. M——, Ot the United States Secret Service, that I had jnst been informed .that certain papers^had retracted, the charge made against German sol­ diers of cutting off the hands of children: He looked at 'me from deep-set.^eyes thatgbnrned and burned brightly with every breath, more intense, more fierce with each moment. - “ Well,” he said slowly. “They may retrdbt and I may be wrong,, but I went.every where I could be allowed to go on stricken territory last winter. It may be that, the thousand mutilated children that I saw in one smail town . not far from Liege had lost their hands thru gun fire when they got in the way during battle.

W hatbave they' ,done with it? They know best whether it has gone for essentials', whether it has been wisely invested; and whether it has been need for the benefit of the country at large. The new thing which is happen­ ing in America is this; the country as a whole.is: awaking to the fact that no man can use his property for'himself alone. The possession of money creates an obligation, on the part of its possessor, to aid his fellow man and his conntry through its proper use.

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX. v EDITED BY V BERTHA MARVIN LEE. What is the. Laymen's Missionary Move­ ment? p As Mr. John B. Sleman1 Jr., a Iaynian of Washington, D. C.. was in attendance upon the International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement in Nash- Ville1 Tenn., this thought came to hiin: If tboughtfu; and spiritual students v^ill offer themselves by thousands for miss­ ionary service, why • may not Cbristikn business men inaugurate an advance movement that will insure the ready sup­ port of all who would agree to go?" His suggestion met with instant favor from the missionary leaders of all denomina­ tions, and on Nov. 16, 1906, the Laymen’s Missionary Movement was organized.-. Wbat is the best product of the Lay­ men's Missionary Movement? Undoubtedly it is the “every member canvass” in the local church. "Put the emphasis on every member for every­ thing.” Every member contributing to thanks. You folks are doing a great deal to help the, cause. But am feel­ ing like we boys will, soon end this terrible struggle. Respect. RICHARD M. ANDERSON. Camp Sevier, S. C., Dec 16.

McPherson, Ga., Jan. 10 Mv Dear Friends:— Through the' kindness of Mr. Stroud I wish to thank the Red Cross Society of Mocksville for the nice hand knit sweater sent to- me f:>r Christmas, and. I can assure you that it was appreciated all the more be­cause it was from home. There is nothing that makes a soldier feel better than to know the'folks are thinking of him.. Before I joined the army arid got into active service the Red Cros3 didn’t mean very much to me And even though I have on­ ly been here three months I . have learned to appreciate the value of this great organisation that is doirrg such a noble, work. There were thousands of soldiers made happy on Christmas day that no-doubt .would have spent a miserable da'y in camp had it not been for the Red Cross. They not bnlv sent the soldiers, pres­ ents, but seen to it that they were taken out in Atlanta and given a re­ gular dinner, I can’t begin to .tell Of the many instances where this or­ ganisation has done a world of good in our small company, but there is nothing that can be said about the Rsd Cross Society in the way of praise that is too good for it. ■ Now Lwill also;try to give a brief description of our Unit. We. enlist­ed in the Medical Reserve Corps in May, 1917, and were called into ac­ tive service. Nov. 10, 1917. Our “gjang” consists of twelve officers ranking from - First Lieutenant to Major; fifty enlisted men and some eighteen' or twenty graduate nurses. Our outfit is known as M. R. C. Uuit V0.” and ever since it was organized the cry has been, “We are going to France next week.” Butnext week has never come. However, we have our equipment for “over seas” duty and are liable to be called any day. Most of the “gang” is rather' anx- I ious to get “Somewhere in France,” !but I must confess that I am not over anxious to cross the pond. • But of course if the time comes to go, why I rm perfectly willing to' take the-trip, and thank God that I am going to try to save lives rather than destroy. Of course somebody has to do the shooting, but I’m just glad that I am not mixed up in it; As yet our' "gang” has had a pic­ nic,. For a good while we were off duty from midday mess until 12 o’clock midnight. That didn’t ne cessariiv mean that we had , to stay :out Until 12 o’clock. But some of the members of the gang tried to act the "hawg” and stay out later than anyone else, so the Major got wise, and now we have to be in at 9:45, with only two' half holidays, Wednesdays and Saturdays; Bat even at this army life isn’t so bad. It’s true it’s no place for babies, (we have no nurseries), and you can’t make any fortune. But the exper. ,ience is good, and those of us that don’t get a souvenir in the shape of Very sincerely, , T. J. SWING. M1 R. C.

In Italy the terrific artillery &nd infantry fighting has given way w aerial warfare, which, however, tboagii it is spectacular, has little direct bearing on the progress of the campaign when confined to combats hetffeeii individuals or squadrons. For nearly a month now the front in France and Belgium has been al­ most snowbound. Thus the long waited German offensive, with the Seavy reinforcements which Germany transferred from the Russian front t$ the V-"?t, has'" been delayed for weeks, if not. possibly, for months. The peace negotiations between the bolshevik! and the representatives of the nadniple alliance at Brest- Litovsk continue, but without definite r e s u lts . Another delay in the assem­ bling of the constituent assembly. is likely because of the issuance' of a decree at Petrograd, providing for new elections to replace member of the constituent assembly who are deemed not to represent the interests of the workmen and peasants. According to reports from the Rus­ sian capital, northern Russia is to receive ample food supplies from Ukraine, through the reconcilatlon of the bolsheviki and the Ukrainians. Every effort has been made In-; the last few weeks by. the bolsheviki au­ thorities to prevent the threatened famine in Petrograd and other, cities of Russia where the bolsheviki hold the power. It is also semi-officially reported from Petrograd that the bolsheviki have taken control at Novo Tcher- kassk, capital of the province of the Don cossacks and headquarters of General Kaledine, hetman of the cos­ sacks. ■' -Vv forth that the allies are in need of an additional 75,000,000 to 90,000,000 bush­ els of wheat and that they have asked America to double meat exports.

The secretary read an exhaustive ^ prepared statement when he took the i stand and was not interrupted until there will be no shortages. To Export Only Savings, “We cannot and will not, more than our savings, for our own people must also be fed,” said ths statement “The allies have reduced the bread ration to their people sharp­ ly the last few days and if this low­ ered ration is to be maintained we must save more than hitherto. • "Every grain o> wheat- and every ounce of flour and bread saved now is exactly that amount 'supplied to some man, woman and child among the allies.

SENATOR JAS. H. BRADY OF IDAHO IS DEAD. Serious Property Damage By. Tornado in South. Macon, Ga.—A tornado, followed by a torrential rain, swept down upon Macon and vicinity, killing one man and injuring'several others and doing serious property damage in the city and at Camp Wheeler, near here.. Al! communication with the camp was cut off shortly after the storm broke, but telephone communication reestablish? ed revealed that the greatest damage ddhe there was from the rain, which had flooded many of the hospital tents, 16 of which were blown down. It was estimated that 150 patients were in the tents but early reports from the camp said there were no injuries. The collapse of the corral of the 122nd infantry caused the' only death reported, that of Private Harris, of Atlanta. After the tornado passed over the oamp, its course turned in the direc­ tion of the city. It hurled 14 freight cars on the Macon, DubliniS; Savan­ nah railroad, on a siding near the camp, from the tracks and passed over the Central City park, wrecking the rice track and baseball grandstands tnd demolished a building in which were quartered wild animals belonging to a circus. Some of the beats were crushed under the .debris while oth­ ers escaped but were captured by showmen. ' •Fires broke out in several sections of the city during the storm.

But for the promise of Speaker Clark to cast his vote from the chair for the resolution if .it. was needed, the change of a single yote to the opposi­ tion would have meant defeat.

Advocates of the amendment had been supremely confident of the re­ sult in the house after President- WiU son advised the members who called upon him last night to support. They were so confident that the close vote was received -with amazement, and some of the opponents were almost as much surprised.

CHAPTER XXVII—Continued. •—18— ' After the meal I yielded to my own need of rest, certain I should he on deck all night, and returned to the cabin. I left my stateroom door open, ’but In ten minutes I was sound asleep. What awakened me I do not know. I bad a confused sense of some heavy body falling, but no other sound. Yet this impression was so strong, so in­ sistent, that I sat up in the berth, and stared ont through the open door into the cabin beyond. I neither saw, nor heard anything, yet did not withdraw my eyes when I got to my feet; then I knew that the dark shapeless object, half under the table, was the motion­ less body of a man. My throat seemed ,to contract, and choke me, but I forced a quick breath and stepped forward through the door. The dingy cabin was deserted,- not another • stateroom door open. The table had been cleared of dishes, a decanter of brandy stand­ ing alone on the swinging shelf. Un­ derneath, with face concealed in the crook of one arm, lay a man, an ugly gash in the back of his colored shirt, through which fresh blood was oozing, and dripping to the deck. I sprang for­ ward, and turned him over—Dubois. I could hardly accept the evidence of my own eyes. How had this thing hap­ pened? How did the crippled sailor ever get Into the cabin? Whose hand could have struck the blow? and for what purpose was it struck? It was murder, a cowardly slash from behind; no wound which could be self-inflicted, but a blow of deliberate purpose. Who aboard would have reason to seek the life of Dubois? I could think of no . one; no cause for such a crime. An instant I stared, dazed, into the dend, upturned face, not even knowing where to turn, In which direction to seek the murderer! I felt as though every' fae- ' uliy of both brain and body was paralyzed by the shock. Yet this" was but for an Instant. I tried the doors of the various staterooms; all' opened at my touch, excepting Bnscom’s, and .proved unoccupied. His was locked as , usual, and I felt it useless to disturb the man. Leayord was no longer be­ low; he had doubtless awakened and gone oh deck, but I discovered Dade asleep In his old berth down the pas­ sage, shook him awake, and compelled Iiim to come back with me., The horror of his face at sight of the dead body only intensified my own, but I had grip on. my nerves by now, and was deter­ mined to learn the truth. “Stay here until I find out what is . happening on deck. There is nothing , to be afraid of, you fool; the man is dead. Yes, you can stand over there, but don’t leave until I come back, and keep your eyes open.” As I .emerged from the companion, leaving the dingy, death-shadowed cabin behind, the open deck was such a scene of quiet'as to appear like an­ other world. Yera was still resting In her chair not twenty feet away. She glanced up, smiling a welcome, as I crossed the deck, but the expression of her face instantly changed as our eyes met., . . “What Is it, Mr. Hollis? Are we againin danger?” : “There has been trouble below. Let ine question you before I explain. You have been'here for the last hour?” “Yes; longer even than that.” "Who have you seen enter the com­ panion ?”1 - "I slept at first, but have been awake for some time. Dade came ont on deck a few moments, and then went back again; that must have been an hour ago. There was no one else until Mr. Leayord was called to take his watch.” “Who called him?” “Olson; he was not below more than a minute.” “And Leayord responded immedi­ ately?” “Yes, so quickly I remember think­ ing he could not have removed his clothes to He down.” “And when was this?” “A half hour ago; he stopped and •spoke with me before taking charge of the deck.” “No one has entered the cabin since?” She shook her head. “No one, I am sure; Mr. Olson did not go below; he is forward there now. Please tell me what has happened?” “Dubois has been killed,” I explained briefly. “I found his body on the cabin deck. The deed was just done; his fall awoke me from sleep, but be­ fore I could leave the stateroom the murderer had disappeared.” “He—he was murdered I You are sure?" "There was a knife wound In the back piercing the heart The man died without a sound.” She rose to her feet her face white, her body, trembling so that I put out my hands to her support and instantly her fingers clasped mine. CHAPTER XXVIII. A Maniac on Board. The horror with which she looked into my face held me speechless. Could' It be possible that she suspected, knew, the perpetrator of thin crime—that She sought to shield him? “You searched the cabin? Zou found PO one?” • “Only Dade sound asleep, in the steward’s stateroom. I awoke him, and left him on watch below.” “There was no one hiding In any of the staterooms? You tried the doors?” “They were all empty. Mt. Bns­ com’s door was the only one locked.” “You—you made him open?” “No; why disturb him?” She drew a quick breath, her eyes on my face. “You—you have not seen Philip Bas- eom lately?” “No, not since we had supper to­ gether.” • “You saw nothing strange then in his actions, o.r words?” “Why nothing that I remarked. He seemed about as usual; more haggard, and nervous possibly,. but he ’spoke cheerfully enough. What can you mean?” “Oh, I do not really know; perhaps I ought not to say such a thing. I meant to have spoken to you about it befofe, but so much happened, I forgot. I—I suspect Philip Bascom is insane.” “Insane I Good heavens I why do you say that?” “He has talked to me so strangely. He—he frightened me, and I was hard­ ly able to qniet him.” , “And you suspect he killed Dubois?” “Who else could it have been?” There was no answer possible. Every other man on board was already cc- counted for. The truth was borne 'n upon me irresistibly. I called Leayorv* The mate thrust his head over the forward rail. “Do you know if Masters is In the .engineroom?” “I think he is, sir.” “Then, call down, and have him send White on deck immediately; and pass the word forward to have Mr. Ol­ son come here.” “Aye, aye, sir; is; there anything ■wrong?” 1 “I will explain presently; just now I want you to remain in ChargelOf the deck.” Olson arrived first, and I barely had time to tell him briefly what had oc­ curred, when White emerged through the deck opening And reported,- his eyes blinking in the bright light, and his face grimy with coal. “You wanted me, sir?” he asked, with-no bluster in the gruff voice. "Aye, White; you possess the strength and nerve for this sort of job. Miss Carrington here suspects that the owner of this ship has lost his mind. I just found Dubois lying on the cabin deck murdered—” ‘•Dubois, sir?” “Yes; he had been stabbed in the back.” “And you believe the owner did It?” “There is no one else on board who could. He is locked in his stateroom, and we’ve got to get him out. Come on now, both of you.” I led the way down the stairs In no pleasant frame of mind. An: insane man running free aboard, animated by a desire to kill, added to my other re- sponslblUties,. increased our dangers manifold. The cabin seemed so dark I Almost Fell Forward Into the Room.a after the brightness of the deck above, that I grasped the stair rail and ad­ vanced almost blindly. I had reached the center of the cabin before my eyes discerned that there were two bodies outstretched on the deck instead of one. I involuntarily shrank back, grip­ ping the sleeve of White’s shirt, and pointing. “Look here! there are two bodies; he—he has gotten Dade also.” The sailor sprang past me, and dropped to his knees.' “Aye, it’s Dade, and the poor cuss is done for, sin—it’s another knife thrust In the back.” “And no longer any doubt who did it,” echoed Olson, “for there's not an­ other man aboard been aft.” “Bight you are,” I said, gripping my­ self ready to act “And. We must get him at once. &ome on;-both of you; if there’s a fight it may take the three of us. He has a knife, and there was a gun In his drawer.” The door of Bascom’s stateroom was closed, and I grasped the knob with no thought it would yield to my fingers. But It did, and I almost fell forward into the room, catching’ myself, and staring about. The last gleam of the sun streamed in through the stern ports, and every object within was clearly revealed at a glance. The man was not there. I drew back the cur­ tains concealing the bath, but the space was empty; only one; of the round ports was partially open, the aperture far too small to admit the passage of a body. The bed had not been slept in, and was neatly'made; one drawer of the desk stood open, and papers were scattered on the rug beneath; a chair was overturned on the deck; a chest in one - corner had been rummaged, its contents flung aside. My eyes fell on White, his mouth open, his face gro­ tesque in its coating of coal dust. “Hanged if he ain’t got away, sir,” he blurted out, “but he never went overboard through that port—a cat couldn’t ha’ done it.” * “No, he’s aboard all right,” I coin­ cided. “But where? and for what pur­ pose? There is no knowing what a man in his state of mind may do. Good heavens I he could wreck the ship. Get a light; White—take the cabin lantern. Olson and I will have to look behind these doors first, and then we’ll ex­ plore betwefen decks.” We found nothing, not (the slightest trace of the fugitive. Beyond doubt he had gone forward, either seeking to escape, or with the thought that he could attain the deck through some opening amidships. I was cool enough by now to realize the peril we faced between decks, searching for the mad­ man, whom we might encounter at any moment. “Bun on deck,' White,” I ordered, “and pick up a couple of marling spikes. I have a revolver. Tell Mr. Leayord the situation, and have' him keep his eyes open. Better havehlm warn McCann, and Miss Carrhigton had best remain near the wheel until we get our hands on this fellow. Hurry back now.” Olson" and I remained motionless, Our eyes on the black opening leading forward, the dim rays of the lantein falling on the ghastly faces of the two dead men outstretched on the deck. It was a grewsome spot, and my heart was beating like a triphammer. I made snre my revolver was- loaded,‘dropping the weapon into a jacket pocket. White rejoined us, grasping the spikes, one of which he passed over to Olson, who tested the weight In his hand. “Quiet as a June mornin’ up there, sir,” he announced, squinting about. “There ain’t nobody seen nuthin’ of no maniac. I reckon yer better let Olson carry the lantern, so you and I can be sorter free to grip the chap; we’re big­ ger. than the mate.” “From what Tve seen of Olson he’ll do his share of the fighting," I an­ swered, knowing the Swede to be hot- tempered, and touchy about his size. “However, one will have to carry it.” “It’s all right, sir,” said Olson quiet­ ly, ‘Tli hold the gUm, but if that big duffer doesn’t stand up to the job, Tll bust glass an’ all over his head.” We certainly made a thorough search of it I doubt if a stray rat got by us without being seen, but from the after­ cabin to the engineroom ladder we found no trace-of Bascom; no Indica­ tion even that he had ever passed that way. The effort to locate Bascom’s hiding place was absolutely vain—the cunning of the madman overcame our diligence and wit; he had ‘disappeared as though swallowed by the sea, leav­ ing not so much as a clue behind. Beyond the hole leading to the en- gtneroom below, our advances were blocked by a steel bulkhead, water­ tight, pierced by a single door, to be sure, but this was. closed and locked securely. “Is there any communica­ tion between the forecastle and the hold, White?” I asked, staring helpless­ ly at the steel barrier. “No, sir; the fo’castle is all above deck.” “How was this door manipulated? Do either of you know?” “Well, I had charge o’ loadin’ the after-hold, sir,” and Olson scratched his head trying to remember. “That door never was opened but once, when Captain Bktdley- tested It before we left Baltimore, or maybe after we got out in the Chesapeake. I. think it wus opened an’ shut frum the bridge, Mr. Hollis.” “That is the usual arrangement, but there Is a slot here for a key; still the door Is steel, and it looks too heavy for any one man to operate.” I leaned over, and looked down Into the Ughted engineroom at the bottom of the shaft. AU I could see was a great wheel steadily turning. “Masters.” The engineer stepped into view, and peered up Into the darkness; he ap­ peared burly and shapeless. “That you, captain?" “Yes. Bascom, tie owner, has gone crazy, and has -hidden himself some­ where on board.” “Well, TU be swamped I Can’t you find him?” . “Not yet; we’ve senrched every place aft. He hasn’t visited you?” "Noj to my knowledge. Tony Is back in the fireroom; TH ask him.” The three of us clung to the ladder gazing down, the light from the lantern reveaUng 'our faces. Masters w asnot gone a moment, but his voice had changed. “Tony’s killed, sir,” he called up ex­ citedly. “He’s lying on the coal in number one bunker, cut in the back with a knife.” The - words were not out of his mouth before we were scrambUng down. But our haste gained us noth­ ing. The only trail Bascom had left was the dead Italian, stretched out In the half emptied coal bunker, his lips closed forever. It was a knife thrust which had killed him—just such a thrust as had done for his two mates in the cabin above; but the madman had disappeared. However, here was proof positive that the fellow was still on board; still hiding between.decks. He had not reached the open, or flung himself into the sea. Masters could tell us nothing; he had heard no sound, seen no. shadow. He had been oiling the machinery, and a man could have slipped down the ladder unob­ served, and escaped again In the same way. There was ho other entrance to the engineroom; the forward bulkhead was solid; there were two ventilator shafts, but neither was large enough for the passage of a man's body, and the Coal chnte was kept closed and locked at sea. Nevertheless I had these examined, determined to take n 6 chances, and our lantern penetrated every inch of the engineroom and coal bunkers. At the end, utterly baffled, White gave vent to an oath. . “It -beats me, sir,” he confessed hoarsely, “unless it’s a spook we’re a-huntin’ for.?*... “I wish it- was;'jtbe trouble is it Is a man, and a mighty, dangerous one. Well, he’s not down here, and he must have gone back by way of the ladder. The fellow has ’ either found some means of getting into the hold, or else he’s managed'to slip on deck and per­ haps is hidden In the forecastle—no one messes there now?” “No, sir.” “Then let’s have a look up above; come on, men.” ‘Ter ain’t goin’ ter leave me down here all alone, are yer, captain?” ques­ tioned Masters anxiously, “with Tony i “That you, captain? Have you got Bascom yet?” “No; be has managed to escape, and get forward, but not without leaving another victim behind. Tony Bapello is dead in the stokehole." “The bloody villain I How did he ever get out of there?” “Which is more than I 'can figure out; stole on deck, probably, and then sUpped along In the rail 'shadow. Where is McCann?” “Just gone forward to fix the ridin’ lamps.” “All right; sing out to him to keep his eyes on the deck. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of wind, or sea, Mr. Leayord; do you imagine Miss Carrington could hold the wheel for half an hour?” ' “I don’t see no reason why she shouldn’t, sir; Tve seen her do it in worse weather.” “Then ask her, please; I’m likely to need both of you if we round up that fellow. He’s crazy and armed, and sure to fight hard. Pick up any weapon you can find, and come down here.” They were beside me almost instant­ ly, eagerly questioning as to what had occurred below, their faces expressive of the deep horror both felt at the situ­ ation in which we found ourselves. Un­ der other conditions I know I should have felt sincere sympathy for the sud­ denly stricken Bascom. His former friendship with Vera, what I knew of his misfortunes, the very conception of the man’s character which I had formed myself during our brief ac­ quaintance on board, all tended to make the man an object of pity. The murders he had committed were but Save Your Cash and Your Health CASCARA £ [ OUININj- Th* <t»Dd*rd cold cure for 20 years—.Ia tablet form—safe, aure, no opiate*—-cure*.cold m 24 hours—grip in 3 day*.

Keep a sharp eye out, you men below.” The two of us clambered up the iron ladder, the sailor with the lantern In his hand, the marling spike thrust into soul on board. The thought of what he might do during the black darkness of the night terrorized-me. At any cost we must have him within our control; we dare not even wait to hope that the man might reveal himself—we must go after him, crawling in the dark, feeling within crevice and cavity, until we uncovered his hiding place. I explained this quickly to the two men,-hiding none of my own fear,-but making them comprehend the des­ perate need of thorough and ceaseless search. The look on their faces evi­ denced that my words had gone home. * “He’s forward, . sir; that’s clear In Old Salem. “Good morrow, Friend Brewster!" quoth one of the Pilgrim Fathers, meeting another on the street of Sa­ lem. “And where hast thou been tills fine morning?” "I have tarried a while at the jus­ tice court, Friend Hooker, where with a right good will I did hear Justice Winslow, that goodly man, passing sentence upon certain rogues and run­ agates, pestilent fellows and sturdy beggnrs.” “And what disposition made the good justice of the case of Dame Ke- zlah, who was charged with’ being a common scold?” “He did adjudge her guilty, and en­ treated her harshly withal.

CHAPTER XXIX. The Work of a Fiend. In spite of what I knew; of the hor­ ror and tragedy I had just left behind; the unspeakable terror of feeling that somewhere aboard,_ hidden in some black corner, lurked an irresponsible being, with murder In his crazed brain; a being devoid of all impulse, save the frenzy of hate, -the desire for destruc­ tion, yet the sight of that cool, silent deck, already darkened by the gath­ ering shadows of night, instantly calmed me, and brought back my. pow­ ers of reasoning. The man was not aft; then he must be forward. It was Impossible to hide long on shipboard in the face of an intelligent search. Of one thing I whs decided—if the fellow had, indeed, succeeded In slipping for­ ward unobserved, he was never to be permitted to return aft again unseen. I would, first of all. see to it that the decks were guarded, and then the rest of us would hunt him In his hole. “White, you remain here In front of the cabin, and keep your eyes open. Don’t let a shadow get past you aft; you understand?’ “Aye, sir.” "Give me the lantern. There is no knowing what that fellow may do; he might fire the ship, or wreck the en­ gines, unless we get ulm in time.” ’Ton think he’s forward, sir?” - “Where else can he be? n i put an­ other man at the mainmast, and then run him down.” Leayord, attracted by the gleam of the lantern, leaned out over the noon raiL Red?” "That’s how I lay it out,” coincided the big sailor, clinching and undlnch- ing his hands. “He sure ain’t aft; thar ain’t no way I know how ,he could git Into the hold with the hatches down; ’so thar ain’t nothin’, left except the fo’castle, an’ the forepeak. We’ll find the cuss thar all right, sir.” I Their confidence had its effect on me. j “Good; White and McCann will guard every inch of'the deck, while we take the forecastle first Bring the lan­tern, Leayord.” I The door was two-thirds shut and we slid it wide open to gain entrance, feeling our way cautiously down'the steps. The place had never been a sea-parlor, but now, deserted by the crew, It presented as dismal a scene, Ja the dim light of the lantern, as ever I put my /foot into. -The air was foul with bilge-water, while rotting gar­ ments hung to the beams above, or were strewn along the deck. The shad­ ows were grotesque and hideous, and much of the space was cluttered up by discarded sea boots, battered chests and - miscellaneous riffraff which the men had left behind In their flight I stopped at the foot of the steps, but Leayord and Red advanced tothe tier of bunks, the former lifting the lan­ tern, while the latter took survey with­ in each. ■ We found no trace of Bas­ com, but at that I was glad enough to be back again on the open deck, breath­ ing In the fresh night air.

C SCHOOL TEACHERS OF STATE WILL HAVE TO BE BETTER PROVIDED FOR. OiSPATCHES FROM RALEiGH p.-.jr.«s and Happenings That Mark me Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. A serious situation confronts the jiiibiie schools of the state. Teachers’ salaries are utterly inadequate to meet the greatly increased cost of living 111 these war times. Many teachers— Iicrhaps a majority of them—find Itoir present salaries insufficient to meet their actual expenses of living. In many instances teachers are paid StO per month for not more than five or six months a year, and are paying Sie per month or more for board alone. The average annual salary of white teachers in North Carolina in 1916 was $296.62. While the salaries have been increased slightly during the present year, the small increase has uot been at all in proportion to the great increase in their living expenses uor in proportion to the increase made ia other lines of work in the state and nation. Many of the young men, espe­ cially in the high schools, have been drafted for service in the army; many of the women teachers oh account of increased demand and increased com­ pensation in other lines of work, and. many on account of their absolute in­ ability to meet actual living expenses on the salaries offered for teaching, have been forced to,leave the profes­ sion.' The result id that there' is a great dearth of teachers in North Car­ olina. The demand for teachers is greater than the supply. Many schools have not yet been able to secure teachers. It seems' likely that many will not be. able to secure them • Realizing the seriousness of this sit­ uation, the North Carolina Teachers’ Assembly at its recent meeting in Charlotte passed strong resolutions catling'-attention to the necessity for increased salaries of teachers. At the same session of the assembly, the de­ partment of school boards ,attended by sixty representatives of county and city boards of education, and the State Association of County Superintend­ ents, devoted much time to the serious discussion of this situation, and pass­ ed strong resolutions urging the in­ crease of funds' and increase of salar­ ies for meeting the situation. Com­ mittees were appointed to co-operate with the state department of education in waging a campaign in devising ways and means for increasing school funds and increasing the salaries of teachers with a view to relieving this serious situation and thereby prevent­ ing a serious interruption of the work the efficiency of the educational work and of the teaching profession in the state. A conference with these com­ mittees, including the executive com­ mittee of the teachers’ assembly, is called by the state superintendent of public instruction on the 18th of Janu­ ary to formulate plans and inaugurate a state-wide campaign for iricreasing school funds and teachers’ salaries for relieving the serious situation. First Draft Cost State $134,542. Major John D. Langston of the adju­ tant general’s office, finds that the cost m North Carolina of the first national army selective draft was $134,542. This cost was distributed, $73,089 to board members; $44,388 to employes of boards and $3,001 for physical exami­ nations; the remainder being for travel, rent and supplies. The state measured well up In the matter of the ratio of enlistment to the gross quota, the average of which the country over was 40.42 per cent and for North Caro­ lina 31.81 per cent Oregon was high­ est with 90.77 per cent and Oklahoma lowest with 21.78 per cent average. I The statistics show that the cost per registrant was 54 cents and the cost per man called was $1.69 and the cost per man accepted was $4,93 . North Carolina had 197,481 regis­ trants; 63,599 were called for exam­ ination, and 15,846 were accepted for * service of 59,879 examined as to physi­ cal fitness; 117,831 were considered unfit for service and 42,048 were found physically fit. Exemption claims were filed by 29,488 and 21,502 were allow­ ed. Of the claims allowed 1,732 were for agricultural exemptions of which 392 were allowed. There were 35.682 married men included in those called and 17,458 were rejected bcause of dependents. , TURNS POPULARITY TO PERSONAL GAIN SPRAY IN WINTER FOR SAN JOSE SCALE (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The San Jose scale, in the absence■ XJ , * , , erne#. WUU UUdAS SUiUC, IU UJC auseuceAtlanta Girl Dangles Slipper Gift of proper treatment, will quickly bring Before Eyes of Lovers and They Succumb. Atlanta, Ga.—A clever young lady of this city, who had many admirers, proved herself to be a master of high finance by the manner In which she turned her popularity to personal gain. For each of her male friends she bought slippers, all of the same pat­ tern, which she -had an aged colored seamstress make up. 'Meanwhile she Governor Grants Four Pardons. Governor Bickett granted four par­ dons: William ■ Simmons, Forsyth county, is pardoned for the remainder of a 25-year sentence for second de­ gree burglary on the ground that he was so drunk and doped that he didn’t know where he was or that he was trespassing on any one. This view-is taken by those whose house he enter­ ed. They also expressed regret that Simmons was hit over the head with a pitcher of water and nearly killed. John Evans, of Mecklenburg county, serving twenty years for second de­ gree murder, receives a pardon on the strength of letters from the solicitor and others who insist that Evans has been sufficiently punished. Many ot the best citizens of the community, the governor says, join in urging the pardon. Robert Moser, Cabarrus county, gets Hill! I 1 about the death of many plants of eco­ nomic importance. Its discovery, there­ fore, whether in orchards or on prized fruit trees and other, plants in the yard, should call for prompt steps to­ ward its control. It has been amply demonstrated that the scale may be very successfully controlled by one thorough treatment during the dor­ mant period each year. On account of the general distribution of the pest extermination measures are, in most cases, out of the question. Complaint sometimes comes from orchardists who have the scale to con­ tend with that the control of the insect Is neglected by their neighbors, and they believe this neglect adds material­ ly to their own work. Undoubtedly the seme will spread from orchard to orchard, but thorough annual spray­ ings will prevent Important injury ir­ respective of neglect in adjacent or­ chards. ’Where plants are thoroughly incrust­ ed, with consequent death of branches and stunting of growth, it wlll.general-: Iy be advisable to dig out the trees at once and replace with new ones. Be­ fore spraying infested trees the dead and weakened wood should be pruned out, which will simplify the work of spraying and will hasten the forma­ tion of new, sound wood. San Jose Scale Washes. 1 There are- several scale washes Which may be employed'In the control of the insect, and the one should be selected which can be most conveni­ ently used and which is economical under the circumstances. Thus, for spraying on a large scale, the orchard­ ists could propgrly afford expenditures for the construction of cooking outfits for lime-sulphur wash which would not be justified where only a few trees were Involved. For a few plants it would be better to use some one of the prepared washes put up by manu­ facturers. In fact, many large or­ chardists prefer to use sprays of this class in preference to .making the washes at home.' The possibility of injury to the trees from the sprays must also be borne In mind. AU treat­ ments, if possible, should be made dur­ ing the dormant period (that is to say, in late fall or early spring, or even during the winter In mild climates), ! since at this time washes may be ap- I plied at much greater strengths than when the trees are in foliage. The ! aim is to use the wash about as strong : as the tree will stand, thereby secur- j ing the maximum killing effect upon 1 the insects. Used in this way the washes of the petroleum or kerosene series are most likely to cause injury to. the fruit buds and tender twigs, and the lime-sulphur washes least like­ ly to do so. Fish-oil soap, sprays as recommended for dormant trees are comparatively safe, though reports are at hand of injury to fruit buds, espe­ cially from fall applications. Stone fruits, such as peach, plum, etc., are more susceptible to injury from sprays than apple and pear, and on the for­ mer the lime-sulphur sprays should always be used. Petroleum and mis- cible oils are more frequently used on apple and pear, and owing to their spreading and penetrating qualities are perhaps more effective in destroy­ ing the scales on the terminal twigs, which are infested to a greater extent In the case of these fruits. The sev­ eral sprays in use are: (I) Lime-sul­ phur wash series; (2) petroleum-oil series (Including miscible oils), and (3) soap washes. * In Farmers’ Bulletin 650 Instructions are given on the making and applica­ tion of sprays. “Oh, They're for a Man Friend Mine.” kept a. pair for herself in the parlor, -where she could have them on hand pardon from the .chain gang where .he whenever one of her. lovers galled. Faulty Flue Caused Fire. Investigation of the fire which de­ stroyed Brooks Hall, the main building of the North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis, re­ veals the cause of the fire as a brick dropping from an improperly con­ structed chimney, according to the re­ port made to the Insurance Commis­ sioner. The chimney remained stand­ ing after the fire and the hole left by the fallen brick shewed conclusively how the fire started. The chimney after running up a few feet was'con­ structed at an angle of 45 degrees in its progress to the roof and outlet. Above where the chimney rah at an angle a box-work construction cover­ ed the chimney leaving an open space which concealed the faulty construc­ tion. When the brick dropped out, the interior of the box-like frame was ex­ posed to the blaze which should have gone up the chimney and the'wood­ work was in flames some time before it was discovered. Insurance Commissioner Young says it is only fair to the present manage­ ment of the sanatorium to say that the building was erected before it took charge and that the blame does not Mtach to it but he feels it his duty to call the attention of the people''of the state to the fact that dangerous fires are started in this manner. was serving for simple assault on a woman.

The pardon leave him free to return to the state. Big Year For N. C. Farm ers. Special from Washington.—North Carolina has had her best agricultural year. The farmers of the state will re­ ceive for their crops by far more than ever before. Here are some estimates based on late reports. I The cotton crop will bring approxi- j mately $60,000,000 to the state. The i yield is not so great as it was last year but the price is much better. There has been a fine yield of corn, anad the price is $1.76 per bushel against 99 cents last year. The yield per acre is 20 bushels against 16.8. The crop will amount to 69,000,OOf bushels, and bring about $120,000,000. The tobacco crop will run close to 218,117,000 ponnds, and will bring ap­ proximately $62,000,000. Sweet potatoes are bringing $1.08 against 70, cents last year. . The to- tal output will be 8,665,000, and will bring $8,838,300; , The Irish potato crop will be 3.639,- Of course, each young man asked for whom she-was making such pretty slippers.

John Nelson enlisted in the United States navy at the age of seventeen, soon after the Spanish-American war broke out His family never heard from him after he left home Iiiiii it was taken for granted that he !had perished,, under an as­ sumed name, when the Maine went down. While he was mourned -as lost he .spent. 20 years in thrilling experiences 'In all parts of the globe. He served two enlistments in the navy, later going on a whale hunt in the South Seas.

PRUNE APPLE TREES IN WINTER SEASON Hay May Be Used as Part of Ra* tion, but Feeding Alone Is Unsafe, Expert Says. ~ , (GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Agri­cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo­ rado.) The belief is prevalent that millet fed to mares will cause abortion and Is otherwise injurious. The North Da­ kota experiment station several years ago issued a bulletin on the injurious effects of a continuous ration of millet hay on horses. Tlie conclusions reached were In substance th at, horses when fed exclusively on millet hay for a considerable period developed irrita­ tion of the kidneys, swelling and in­ fusion of blood into the joints, and finally softening of the bones. Dr. E. F. Ladd reported having found In millet hay, at all stages of growth, a gluepsid called setarian. Farmers generally believe that it is the seeds of millet that cause the trouble but it seems' that this claim is not substanti­ ated. Millet hay as a part ration is safe and makes an excellent adjunct to other roughage for horses but from what information we have on* the sub­ ject at this time it would seem unwise to feed it to horses as an exclusive ration.

Extensive experiments made at the West Virginia station throw new light upon pruning. These investigations verify many of the theories commonly accepted and give new facts with ref­ erence to pruning apple trees. A summary of bulletin 159 of the West Virginia station says: This bulletin is a preliminary re­ port of a pruning experiment cover­ ing a period of four years nnd embrac­ ing 366 apple trees pf various ages. Study has been made of the effects on vigor of dormant pruning, summer pruning at different times, and com­ binations of dormant and summer pruning. Heavy annual dormant pruning re­ sulted in stranger terminal growth than lighter pruning oh trees of all ages. In the study of trees up to five and six years of age it was found that an­ nual heavy dormant pruning was bene­ ficial from the growth standpoint for the first two or three years, after which it dwarfed growth so that by the end of the period the lightly pruned trees showed a -. strikingly greater. increase in trunk diameter, branch diameter, size of top, and to­ tal annual, growth. .

IRRITATING’GOUGHS Promptly treat, epughs, colds, hoarseness, bronchitis and BimllaT inflamed and Iriitated conditionsofthethroatwithatestedremedy— A STAIN REMOVER. In every kitchen orife of the handiest' and most usefulriists is one giving di- k* recti bus for.- re!.' moving spots arid stains. V. Tliere is no more obstinate and an­ noying stain to re­ move than a-cream stain which has, been allowed to be overlooked. Boil­ ing In a strong soap Solution and' dry­ ing in good sunshine will probably re­ move the worst stains that simple rtjjb- bing with soap will not -remove. A little turpentine or kerosene rubbed on' the spots before boiling will help to soften the fat. The best method to use. In dealing with a fresh grease stain Is to use soap and cold water on it; the hot water fixes the fat in the fiber of the linen and makes a most difficult stain to remove. BTuit stains .of various kinds of long standing may be removed by ,sulphur fumes if the use of peroxide and sun­ light fail to be effective. The perox­ ide which we. buy commercially is not so strong that it needs to be washed out, but if fresh from the chemical laboratory it should be carefully washed and rinsod out or It rots the fiber of the cloth. The same is true of sulphur fumes. Place a little sul­ phur in a dish, light it, cover with a funnel and place the spot over the small end of the funnel where the fumes will strike it, changing as often as the spot fades, to another one. Then carefully wash the garment or linen, to remove the sulphur. Ink stains, if fresh and on white cloth, are best put to soak In sour milk, repeating the process until the stain is gone. Acid stains should be sponged care­ fully-with ammonia in.water, one ta­ blespoonful tb six of cold water. Alkali stains are treated with an acid solution, lemon juice or vinegar. Fresh stains are treated with an acid solutiori, IemOn juice or vinegar. Fifesh fruit stains, like those from berries, may be removed by pouring boiling writer from a height through the cloth stretched over a bowl; .then wash as usual. Turpentine will .dissolve paint. Ap­ ply and rub well, then wash in soap­ suds. For vaseline stains soak In kerosene before washing in soap and water. Jt. goods are unwasliable dean with chloroform. A small bottle of chloro­ form .is most helpful to. keep on hand for small spats on,silk, ribbons and Urigririe wair-ts. Salts of lemon moist­ ened with water and used, on rust, stains, if placed in bright sunshine trill remove Such stains of IOng standing! For blood spots, if fresh and on wodleh garments, rub well with dry starch, which soaks up the blood,- and when brushed-after it is dry will-take out every stain. Molasses, or lard, rubbed into grass stains before, washing, will remove them. ' . •-. Red cloud Ot the sunset, tell It abroad;I am, victor.

While the production of eggs dur­ ing the winter when high prices pre­ vail is the result of proper breeding, hatching, rearing and care, proper feeding will always -tend to stimulate egg production at that season. One reason why hens lay well In spring and summer is that they are able to obtain animal protein in the form" of bugs .and worms. During fall and winter, therefore, the poultry feeder should attempt to imitate summer feed condition's. The commer­ cial; poultryman supplies animal pro­ tein by feeding meatscrnps. ,but the farmer often fails tO provide' this feed. Sklm milk, preferably sour, is a most excellent substitute: for rneat- scrap and will give good returns when fed to laying hens. -Numerous experi­ ments have shown that - laying hteris fecFskim milk will double in egg-pro­ duction. similar hens fed no form of animal protein.. : According to' F. D. Crooks of the Pennsylvania State college school ,of agriculture and experiment station, the exact value of sour milk as a source!; of protein. Is difficult to state. Numerions feeding trials, however, place its value- at 50 cents to. $2 per 100 pounds. ’ Skim milk lowers the cost of pro­ ducing. a dozen eggs. On the farm it may mean the difference between profit and loss In connection with the farm flock. Sour milk has a medicinal effect also. It keeps hens in good health and helps prevent disease.

We usually have some kind of weather every Friday, but Friday of last week was an extraordinary day. Snow began falling about 7 o’clock, a. m,, and.continued until the ground was covered to a depth of about two inches. It theh begun hailing and sleeting, and in the afternoon the weathec moderated and it rained. About dark it began thundering and lightning anda heavy rain fell. About midnight a-wind-storm hit us and lasted about three hours. The wind almost reached cyclonic pro­ portions, many limbs and - telephone wires being blown down. The mer­ cury took a decided slump during the early hours of: Saturday morn­ ing, and those who tried to navigate the streets and sidewalks Saturday found it much easier to set down than to stand up. The cause of this fierce weather must be due' to the moon getting mixed up with the sign of the crawfish.' The thermom­ eter registered 5. degrees above zero Sunday morning, and 18 above Mon­ day morning.

Raleigh, Dec. 22:—The State Pood AdairnlstratSton has just let !contracts for the printing of 400,000 supplemen* tary_ home Instruction cards to be dis­ tributed one for each household In the entire State. ' The issuance of these additional instruction cards is prompt­ ed by the increased seriousness of the food situation in Europe both from the standpoint of military necessity and for the relief of hundreds of thou­ sands of Europeans: who are threaten­ ed with starvation: unless immediate relief can be'given them. . >■* The supplementary instruction card calls for a “porklecs" day each week in addition to . “Meatless” and. “Wheat- less” days, and for a wheatless and meatless meal each day. The con­ sumer la urged to use sugar-on a basis of Bot more than three pounds per per­ son per .month. Mr- Hoover, on one side of the card, frankly and lmpres- Bively presents the food situation as it is. • • ~"As a nation tre, eat and. waste 80 per-cent more protein than we require to maintain'health,” the directions de­ clare. “Therefore, we can reduce the amount of meat, we eat without harm. We eat and waste 240 per cent more fat ;than is necessary^ >* What Is Cialled :for- Now. . > Aside from the general directions contained in the .first home instruction oard’ the new card asks everyone to maintain rigid economy of at least: ONE WHEATLESS day each week and one WHEATLESS MEAL each . day, tho wheatless day Ho be-Wednes­ day. By wheatless 'we mean tb^eat no wheat products. ONE MEATLESS DAT each weelf, which-shall, be Tuesday and one meat- lass meal each day. By meatless we mean to eat no red meat-fbeef, pork, mutton, veal, lamb; .-no preserved meat—jbeef, bacon; ham or lard. ONE PORKLESS day eaqh week in addition to Tuesday, which shall be Saturday.

The; Situation Grave, if • The reverse side of th6 card carries a message to those who have' signed the pledge card of the Food-Adminis* tration. It Is as follows:' > To Members;.of the .United'-'. SEgtes FoodAdminiBtratioh: ,p • The food Situation In Europe^ is’ far graver than-when .the preliminary* sur­ vey of the food supply ,of the ;w*rld for this year'was made._We',have an abundance %>r ourselves, and? It is'the firhi policy,=of the Food ;Admtofetr&. tion, by thei prevention of . experts,-'ter retain for oiir people an ample-supply of every essential foodstuffs. Th^har- vests-Df our; Allies h^vaipjpved-'.less than we had contemplated/''. and' the great curtailment of shipping" by the submarines^ during .the? -last few months has' further prevented them from' access, to more remote markets. Beyond the demands of- the Allies there is a call upon iis by the friendly neutrals for food supplies, and if: we cannot at least In part respond’ to these neutral calls, starvation on an unparalleled', scale must ensue. ’>'»• Greater SaerlfiW, fjlece**ary.. ■Food has now, taken a dominant PO- sition In the war, and we must ask the American people to . sacrifice; far more than was at first thdught neces­ sary. We have exported the whole of the surplus of the wheat from ; this harvest after reserving to ourselves an amount sufficient for our normal con­ sumption pf seed and fiourvuntil the next harvest; and therefore theamount of wheat flour that the United States can contribute to mix with the war bteai of our Allies during this winter will be simply the amount -that ’ our people' reduce - their consumption month by month. In other words, every grain of wheat or itsf products that the Allies receive from the Uni­ ted States from now until the next harvest will be exactly the amount which our people have ^aved- each month on their behalf. vThe Allies today ask for 25,per cent more meat and fats (pork, dairy prod-: ucts and vegetable oils) than-we con­ sider our monthly production permits us to send them .without trenching on our-own supplies, or, on the -other hand, unless we can consume less. IJue to the shortage in shipping* our avail* able sugar supplies musVlie less than normal from the present tinie'ftirward.' Every Particle Saved Wlli Count. \ Thus every particle of diminished consumption by the''American people’ iB one particle more for-the soldiers, men, women and 'children of our Al­ lies and for'the starvlng people lh oth­ er countries. This is a' personal obli­ gation upon every one of' us toward some individual abroad who will suf­ fer privation to the extent 'of our own individual negligence. If we are to reduce the consump­ tion of the few products which we should export abroad we will need to eat a larger proportion of;:many dif­ ferent foodstuffs which we'cannot ex­ port and which we have alt home. For this reason we MUST NOT waste ANY foodstuffs. TA great many individuals In our population eat far more fobd than is necessary to maintain ’ their health and'-strength. In this emergen- vy only the' simplest of living'is patriy ,otic. We want no person In the Uni­ ted States to eat less than is required for good health and full strength. jfor in this emergency America requires every atom of the productive power of our people. While many can efift less, all of our population can > substitute other foodstuffs for the few/that', vitally needed for export. We must not overlook-the fact that Russia collapsed not becauc-4 of.'the Germans on her borders birttergely because of the failure'to organize and feed'her own :.ciUzehs, and,' IF WE. ARE TO emerge, vibtorious from this war, we cannot risk the collapse of another pH our Allies from this same cause.

A fter the m ortar has had time, to be­ come stiff, but not hard,a ,surface coat m ade of one p art of ,sand and otie p art of cement should be added and the surface so faced as to exclude all m oisture from the opening- of the cav­ ity. An additional safeguard would be had. In treating the inside o f-th e cavity w ith a copper-sulphate solution ',(one pound to five or six gallons of w ater) after- the diseased wood biis been removed w ith a gouge ox chisel and before the cem ent m ortar is poured into the cavity. - • , ART STUDENT TELLS SECRET .E a s£ M ethod by W h ic h 'H e S ecu red C lean.

As such a secret would be valuable to our young soldiers at-the front, I IoOIced the student up and asked-him about it. ‘ . - “ ‘VeS.’ he said, with no HttIe pride, ‘It’s quite true. I only own two shirts, .vet I caii always change to a clean one, and my Ianndry hill is zero. The scheme, you see, is this. Y om put on a shirt ‘and ;w ear it it week or two. Then -you ptit on the other one'and w ear it three weete^yor till, it’s; so dirty tlirit the. first one seems dean by compari­ son. ,.Ton. then go hack, to the first shirt, and so .on indefinitely.’ ” SWAMP-ROOT FOR KIDNEY AILMENTS There is only one medicine that ^really stands -out pre-eminent as a medicine for curable ailments of the kidneys, liver and bladder. Dr. Kilmer’s Swainp-Boot stands the highest for the reason that it has proven to be just the remedy needed in thou­ sands upon thousands-of distressing-cases.- Swamp-Boot, a physiciau’s prescription for special diseases, makes.friends quickly be­ cause its mild and immediate effect is soon realized in most cases. It is a gen-” tie, healing vegetable compound. - Start treatment at ~bnce. Sold at all drug stores in bottles of.two sizes, medi­um and large.

S. iGov- ernmentP-War Savings Sbamps. Mr. Gaither explained what WarSavings Stamps and Thrift Stamps are. so simply and thoroughly that even: the smallest child .present could under­ stand what they are. Mr. Gaither said at the beginning that there was no use .to discuss the origin of the wary that we are in it and must light tq the finish, and that we should all save our money that would other­ wise be spent foolishly,' for War Savings Stamps, to help feed, clothe and equip our soldiers- and sailors, and to win the war In defense, of American honor and the cause of democracy; throughout the ' world.' The war saivings plan is a plan by which we can lend our small'savings to the Government- at '4 per cent in­ terest, compounded quarterly. :You can buy a War Stivings Stamp now, January, for $412, and the price in­ creases one cent each month • after January, 1918, until December, 1918 After January "I, 1923. the U. S. Government will pay you'$5 for your WarSavings Certificate which you received when yo.u bought your first' War Stamp at $4.12 to $4.2& You can buy. a 25 cent Thrift Stamp if you don’t; have enough money saved to buy a W. S. Stamp, and you are given a Thrift Card on which you.stick your Thrift Stamps The Thrift Card liolds 16 stamps., When your card holds sixteen TbHift Stamps which do not bear interest, you may exchange it for a ^W. S. Stamp which'ldoes bear interest. ' . If you find that ppu n ^ tbe.mon- ey you invested in War Stamps be­ fore Jan.-1st, 192^ they can be re­ deemed at po^office where you bought yourJftamps after 10 days notice. LK Mr. Gaifber, after explaining wbat the ^y% S. S and'T. S. are, intro- dueed Ex--Mayor Eaton, of Win- won-Salem, who made a good talk about why we should buy the Stamps saying that if our boys had given their all couldn't we help our coun­ try by saving and lending our money to the Government. Are we doing right by; refusing to4 do a patriotic service for our country?* What have you done? Have you answered your country’s call and done your best?a The leastyou candois to do your all; are you satisfied with what you have done?-’ Consider the lame and blind, what, have you given? The Americans are'wasteful and .extrav­ agant Buying bonds, for ;that: is what W. S.- S. are, will make ms bet­ ter citizen?;.Our government -is trying to teach us to save,' the good road to gocn) citizenship. : It means that the futiire generatibn'will^be a race of people, the wonder, of the world.

Some very ! interesting statistics on this relative Values of the Tar Heej dog and the Tar Heel sheep havb been sent out by Prof. E. 0. Branson, of the "University of Nor­ th Carolina at Ghapel Hil, which shows how some of the counties re gard the dog, a non-groductive de BEructive animal. Dr. Branson’s statement is as follows: «jjog8 in Alleghany county ave­ rage $10 in valiie on the 1917 tax list,;ahd sheep $3 92. ’ “ In IredelVthe average tax vsrt- ue bf dogs this year is nearly $15 while the average for sheep is $1 42 A; dog in>Iredell is worth ten tim'es as much as a sheep—on the tax list. “Twenty sheep will clothe one of onr' boys a whole year on the battle front, hut.two dogs at home will eat enough to strave one sol­ dier abroad. Our choice' used to be between dogs and sheep; now it is a choice betwepu dbga and. hu­ man lives. “between sentiment about' dogs and "sentiment abont eoldiersj— their !comfort and their Jives in baittl4 lines—there is very little room for choice-^in areas of sense. - “ When oar woithlees; wander- ingcur dogs disappear, fewer chil­ dren will crysftd--bread in jNorfh Carolina in the^Jays' that are at hand, and wooUiinderware will be more abundant here at, home ann in the frbiit libes in France. ‘‘Manifeatly civic authority' can do notbing WithvdogB in this state. takes an immense.amoiiut of ;coal to tun all these instutions of the devil—enough, it is said by'; cpin-» potent authorities to provide coal sufficient to keep all the : women and little children comfoitable. And this distressin conaition of af­ fairs is allowed to go on notwith­ standing the fact that' the .federal government has power to close down every one of these breweries as.a'war measure in order to con­ serve fuel and grain. A lmoat - a hundred million' bushels of grain, to. say - nothii/g of' the^enormjbus quantities, of coal, are absolutely" wasted every year while -helpless wbmen and children freeze and starve, j Why are these cbnditioos permitted by the powers that be; to existf , We wonder if the fact there is ione class of people in ‘the coantrjr—the brewer —who always vote as the interest of their busi­ ness suggest, furnishes' an expla nation.

The funeral and burial services were held at Wesley’s Cha­ pel Thursday morning at 11 o’clock, his pastor, Rev. Vestal conducting the services. Mr. Latham was a Confederate soldier, and a good man. He is J survived by six sons and a host of relatives and friends. Peace to his ashes. A letter from Edgar McCulioh, a Davie boy who is in the army, and is sationed' at Vancouver Barracks, Wash., says that he has been in the' hospital for two weeks and has not been able to speak above a whisper.

He says the people there are mighty good to the soldier boys—that they come to see them every day and bring them candy, flowers and other good things, Mr. McCulloh’s friends hope that he will soon recover.

It is always a pleasure'for The Re­ cord to learn of a Davie boy who has made gpod, Wehave just dis­ covered that Mr. Charlie Sheets, Sn old Davie; boy, has been elected PresidentoftheBankofWilkes, a"t Wilkesboro. Mr. Sheets was prin­ cipal of the Advance High School for three years; was County Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction of Da­ vie for foun years, and. represented Davie in .the legislature in 1901. Mr. Sheets moved to Wilkesboro about ten years ago and became Cashier of the Bank Of Wilkes. This bank has growii*uhtil its assets are nearly $200 ,000 .. 'This is a great honor for Mr. Sheets,:iand The Record joins his many Davieifriends in extending congratulations sind wishing him a successful year. ' Ahto MaS Service. Postmaster R. S.

Grant Jr has been instructed by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page to take prompt and vigorous action tbthe end that all purchasers of ex­ cessive quantities of foodstuffs, par­ ticularly flour, in this county , shall return their surplus above one bar­ rel to the dealers without delay. Mr. Page evidently means business and Mr. Grant means business too, for he announces' that the State Food Administrator’s ’ instructions will be carried out to the letter. Mr. Page’.s ietter is of the straight- from-the-shoulder type that is char­ acteristic of ,the man. He demands action and- action right away. In writing to:the CountyFood Admin­ istrator Mri Page instructs him as follows: , "(I) That you demand of each retailer in your county a complete list of consumers Jwho have pur­ chased flour! in excess of one barrel during.the past three months. (2) .That you immediatelynotify the purchasers.whose names are sub- mitted teyou or whose, names you .can secure that they must return ail flour in their posession in excess of one barreltothe dealetef rom whom thev purchased, those dealers being required to thke it back at th"e price they received for it. “ (3) That’you take every mean's within your command to remedy this situation just as promptly as posible. “(4) Thait -you submit to us promptly for fndictment and prose­ cution the names of any merchants who withhold information, and any consumers who retain in. their . pos­ session more than One barrel ,of flour after they hrve been given an opportunity to return it to .dealers. Nine Deaths Since Registration. Since June 5th, 1917. there have been nine deaths of the registered men in Davie county. Of this num­ ber two died in camp, two were killed, and five died of natural causes. Those who died in camp were Milton E.'Hartman, Claud W Howard. The two killed were Gai­ ther Campbell and Vestal H. Stew­ art, those who died natural death were, Marion Stewart white and Ab­ ner Steele, James Gojoins, Richard C. Hill and Henry Layman all col ored. Judging trom the list of names printed in the Davie Record, Mocksville and Davie county are mighty near American, even if somebody did say something to the contrary. Andthepoem printed on the first page of the Mocksville paper about the kaiser is something else again—Hickory DailyRecord. . Mortgage Sale of Land.
