Bryant^ofjvWabh jngtou iu writing to thb Obarlotte Observer aboqt BiJly Sdnday says; BiHy Sunday, tlie preacher, is Jiere bolding a big ^meeting. Tbousauds ot people hear him ev e r y ,lay. The newspapers give bini much space. TSverybody quotes him. The air is fnll of Bil ly Sunday sayings. ' : Speaker Clark invited Bijly Suri- daj to open the bouse with -prayer the day the woman Suffrage reso lution was considered.' 'A- large crowd assembled to see the ' evan- gelist and to be witbiu. :tbe-. sound of his voice. Most.of ,those., were disappointed. Billy did-not seem to be at his best, and he talked so fast that no one could keep up with him. Those dose up believed that the preacher has stage fright. The presence of such a party’ ' b statesmen awed him. The Observer correspondent has heard some rapid speakers in his day bat nothing compared with Billy Sunday. A rapid- ffre gun could not make a better showing. There is some difference of opin ion here as to the quality, of Billy Sunday’s religion and the extent of good he does but no one ques tions his loyalty to .the .American flag. Billy throws hot- words at the CaiBer all the time. He dams uEaiser Bill and bis,gang of cut throats.^ , -V S’.\ TheSnnday meeting, house is close to the TTnion station and hun dreds of Virginians and Maryland ers come to hear him daily. . Some of the pet expressions of Billy Sunday are: * . - v ' “Old Kaiser Bill’s punch !really won’t know what hell is Uritil TJn- cle Sam gets through ;with, them;’’ ‘‘Bryan is as,clean as -AVboumFs: tooth, though i doo’t agree-wiffi him on the peace jixopriNiiCioiii ^9 ’ i..’- “What gets my goatfieteia how these government clerks cau live; on the salaries paid them—-that is, I uy grub and tog themselves out right. .

He told that bnnch where to head in.” •’ “Yon bet that whoever works or the devil will get his'pay from the devil.

Oh, the par- simonioa salaries paid your teach ers and your preachers. , , ; “You ought to. let your teachers lick your kids and let the kid go to the school with three pairs of pants on like I used to.” ' . “Your Washington monument is riot only for George, but his moth, er.: Ifshe’.had been aMrs. Happy Hooligan we’ wouldn’t have had George.” _ ■ •'“ Liviogf in Washington.is high er than any place I ever have been, and it gets my goat. .Con gress should raise its owti Wages and'ados of others along with ’em. “You soldiers can have any thing Uncle Fuller has gob.

Some kale, that wise old guy had.” Many Congressmen attended the Sunday meetings; - That “ Fie!; Re!” Stuff. Cardinal Gibbohii says that “Airier' tea’s patience and ,’forbearance have been mistaken by Germany for cow ardice” . He is un doubtedly correct. When Dewey rient a message to the German battle flei t commander in ManilaBay, the representative of .the Kaiser had no thought whatever that Dewey might be a covjard. When President Itooseyelt sent .his 24-hour notice to the German ambas sador at the time the Gerinan fleet was maneuver ng off the coast of Venezuela, .the Kaiser wasiunder no delusion as to the meaning of the words or the measure of the cour age back of them. It was not pati ence and forbearance alone that misled the Kaiser in the p resent in stance. It was the “strict account ability” note followed by ' inaction. It was lack, of preparedness,' “too proud-to- fight” speeches, and ’.‘peace without victory” messages tfiat gave the impression that .we were coward ly. If. we had spoken softly but pro- ceeded.tb lay in a supyly of big sticks, there would have been no misunderstanding as to the quality of American courage or the degree of determination to protect Ameri can rights.' _____ ; \ The name of our town stands v for a picture in the minds of. all, who have lingered even for a few ' flei st ing days within the., charm of £ts wooing beauty.

Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio—To the country Gardner’s taking off, particularly at this time is a-loss of monumental '-pro portions^ if not oue entirely irre parable. Putting aside all ques tion of his :proved usefullness in many legislative fields, he had in the last years so made himself the very cornerstone in Congress'of the structure of national military pre paredness that we shall search in vain; I fear,. for one to fill his place. Where shall we find an other with- a knowledge of military technique so complete, an energy so vast, a purpose to force home the truth so indomitable? His voice was the first iaised in Congress for .preparedness without reserve and without equivocation. Unfortunately, for many-months it Was as a “ vox cla'mantie in deBerto’’ arid fell uoheeded upoa the ears of men in high .places. Where now though in the -niau' who Vfill- deoy that had greater heed been paid to bis warnings and action founded upon them this'country would be playing a. far more active and effec tive part in the war, that our ulti mate cost in blood arid treasure would have been infinitely less and the day of victory far advauced? When the history of these times is written,' when the services of men to the American Nation in this, its time of greatest Eeed, and tbeir contribution ,to the ultimate vie-' tory which we will, must, and shall win, are duly weighed and appra ised by posterity, I - predict with' perfect confidence that'high . upon the roll of honor will be, ‘written the came of .

He wofrieth along from year to year, gradually acquiring offsprings, un til his house resembles a Sunday school class just before Christmas.

Nexttp placing trained ajid ., equipped men on the firing line, our ■ greatest need is service in productive - industry. That is the end which every person knows to’ be desirable, but there is a difference of opinion asto'themeans ’by which this end shall-be accomplished. Most enter prises and most individuals • have abandoned the slogan “business as usual” and subordinate everything’ else,'to war needs. One exception' to this rule is the national head of our educational system. The Com missioner of Education asserts, that maintenance of school attendance is of utmost importance. In this he was wrong. It has also been sug gested- that in order to save coal, the. schools be dismissed during one; or two months of ;the winter and con-., ,tinued a corresponding time in the riumtner, when there will be. great need: of the. help of young people in planting, cultivating and harvesting the cfop3.

When the age of , feudilism was left behind, mankind looked upward and forward to a brighter and . no bler future. When the .twentieth century dawned it seemed that the world had forsaken the idea' that man was made for nothing'riiore than bonded slaves. Then came the fatal summons of 1914. At first it seemed that the world-, had' gone mad. but it soon became evident that there were principles at stake. Belgium was invaded and ravaged Our ships were torpedoed,' our wo men and babes—babes in their moth er’s arms-fWere slain. And pp the bottom of the Atlantic ocean they lie today. Waiting for the day when their rights shall be vindicated. Our President was patient, too pa tient it seeined to some. Bub. when it became evident that Germany was striking at'the principles upon which America whs founded, we . went to war. .. Werit to .war to save' America from a fatelike that which overcame Belgium. The question now is: not whether wbpre right or wrong. The question isr 7 What are you doing for your Government? Are you' doing your best or are you sitting around complaining while others are fight ing, suffering, bleeding, dying, giv ing everything that is in them" to vindicate that principle^upon which. America whs founded. The most of us will never hear the sound of a gun, or stand in a mud dy trench facing everything that de stroys human life. ShoUld we that have not been called upori to make' these supreme sacrifices, forget that we are directly affected, that we have a personal interest in it. Thegoverhmentdoes hot ask us to give anything that will not in the end benefit us. It simply asks you you to invest your money in Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps. You get every penny back with com pound interest. Will that' hurt you? Will you not be better off for having invested a few dollars? That may not mean much to you, but it may mean much to some Belgian or French child whose father has died in defense of you. Will saving a few biscuits hurt you—you probably have beep eating too much anyway. It will not great ly interfere with your life, and it may save the life of some' of our soldiers and allies. Everything the government asks you to do iq for your benefit. It will develop traits of character, in you that mil contribute to your wel fare here and hereafter. A good rule it would be for you to follow your conscience. Ifiyour conscience tells you to withhold • your support, do it: but if.on the other .'hand it tells you to-be loyal and lend your support to I cause that naturally af fects you arid your, children, do it. And remember that while’ you are giving a poftion of your substance, many are giving all they are and all they hope tp be. This war,will - determine whether men are to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, or be bound- down as slaves to a modern barbar ism. ; . DEWEY HOLTON. Of the Mocksville High School.: “ W . S. S.” V Next Draft Date Not Fixed. The war department has not fixed the date for the next army draft, and it has riot yet been determined, how many men will be called.'-!^ has been rumored around that next quota-of Davie boys wo&lffliHe' sent to camp next week, tb& lSth, but this seems to be a mistakev j t mav be several weeks or months be fore the training camps are ready to receive any more raw recruits. Our boys will go when they are called, but they are not hurrying the de partment a bit. We are ail hoping that the weather will be better be fore Uie next call is made «W. S. S.” UTTLE BY UITLE. Another step in the encroachment by the government on State and in dividual fights has been taken by the introduction of a bill proposing a Federal license for all owners of automobile^ ,who do not run 1 their own cars. If is provided that a fee of hot less than $25 shall be charged ever such private owner .The. licen ces are to bdy issued by worked official, the Secretapy of- the Tyeasury, and fines of notrnore than $25 are prescribed for the operation of a car the owner of fohich has not complied with the provisions-of the bill. The measure bears authorship of an Ohio Democrat, - and' will doubtless be earnestly supported by ail friends of the present admin istration. Auditing The Books.

About the first of January, Private Claud Howard, of Smith Grove, died at Camp Jackson* The body was shipped back home for burial, and we understand:'that the box contain ing: the body bore a notice warning: persons not’to open the box as death had resultetf from spinal fever. The body was^carriied to the home of the parents, and -fhe casket opened. The body was found'perfectly nude and partly covered with blood* and same bloody cloths in Hie casket. The matter was taken up by the local board here,'and the-following: letter forwarded here by' Governor Bickett clears up the'matter: . My Dear GovernOr|Bickett: . With reference to the letter of the Chairman of the Local Board for the County Of Davie, N. G., which you forwarded to me, I beg: to in form you that-I have had the matter thoroughly investigated. Acopy of the report of the investigating Of ficer being enclosed; herewith. The investigation shows that the com plaint, unfortunately was justified, and I thank you very much for hav ing brought the matter to my atten tion and trust that you will convey my thanks to the Chairman of the Local Board of Davie County. As the report clearly shows that it was tbe duty of the undertaker in Columbia, who is employed by- the Government,' to' properly prepare the remains of Private Howard, have directed that the contract with this undertaker be annulled . and placed in the .hands of a different undertaking establishment, with the hope that there will be no repetition of this case. Very truly yours, v GEORGE W. McIVER, Brig. Gen. N. A., Commanding. The Recbrd is of the opinion that a certain undertaker should be land ed in the penitentiary. “ W . S . S.” .

OLD PBESCRIPTiON FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why it is (hat so many products that are ex-- teusively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil Uie promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself* as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in p^ed of it. A prominent druggist says/ “Take* for example Dr. KilmeFs Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers' testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale/* According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have ufed the preparation, /h e success of Dr. Kilmers’ Swamp-Root ^is due to. the fact tnat. so many people claim, it fulfils al most even* wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects^-ur- ln^jy troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. iou may receive a sample bottle of kwamp-Root by Parcel Post.

I think we all should be in deep thought of what. is our duty,to our country, apd all try to do .Our. bit to help save - the lives and rich'blood of odr heroes who are being sent forth to battle for our rights, and too. I feel it so much our duty to make , ourselves worthy of being fought for, and while all are not physically fit. for service on the battle line we can all be heroes and heroines at home by doing our duty to help those sent from us. Don't think young men that be. cause yoa are pronounced as phy sically unfit for service in battle— that you can do nothing to - make yourself worthy of being called a hero. Tou can help those that do go, by doing yonr bit at home, and be just as worthy as they. Yes, there are heroes.' Some are Taken from us and placed in train, ing camps to await orders to go in. to battle while others are left at home toiling and doing what - they can. We sometimes read articles with headings such as this: “ Wan. ted—A Hero.’’ Maybe the author feels that heroes are rather scarce nowadays and that the world is the poorei for the lack of them. FiddleBtickBl Snch authors don’t know a real hero when be meets him. We know a number them, Their dressis plain, their lhands calloused,-their boots beavy^ and soiled with mod.' Ont in the cold they go to their daily tasks, one to ditch in the-cold and unpleasant mud, another is clearing a piece of new land. Out before day in the cbiliy mornihg and toiling hard, the inspiration for this heroism is the same that has appealed to men of red blood for thousands ot years. Somewhere, perhaps in his farm home, perhaps in his mind’s pic wife must be good, trne and worthy of hero, 'jsm: Forherand those dear to him the' hero labors, suffers, en dures cold, wet, weariness aud dis couragement. Sometimeshis bus. inees or his crops fail; sometimes there is a note hard io meet; yet he works on; he comes home to .the woman he loves with a hero’s- con the quering smile.

And I see the gentle upturned face, With its frank blue eyes and its smile divine, As she blushingly curled her sweet lips and said She would be "my true Valen- 1 But along with the years that have passed since then, And the varying fortunes and failures of life, Comes the proof that the future is not as we plan, ' But with manifold changes is rife. For we drew apart—though I loved her the while — And she married a man more worthy of her, Who had wealth and refinement and learning profound . And (Al that a queen might pre- fer. Yet I am not bitter, and envy not him, The wine of true happiness once "to be mine ”— But out of my solitude rises to God A prayer for that old ,Valentine.

Take no more sicken ing, salivating calomel when bilioufl or constipated. Don’t lose a day’s work I Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which cnuses necrosis of the b9 nes. Calomel, when It comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. Xf yon are sluggish and “all knocked out,” if your liver is torpid and bowels consti pated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone. Here’s my guarantee—G o. to any drug store and get-a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few7 cents. - Take a spoonful tonight, and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning, I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's. Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel be cause It is real liver medicine; entire ly vegetable,- therefore it can not sali vate or make y&u sick.. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean ynnr bowels of that sour bile and consti pated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire fam ily feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless; doesn’t gripe and they like its pleasant taste. —AdV.

The du ties of this committee are to determine the most economical sources'from a transport point of view of all the al lies to arrange transport a t uniform rates, to distribute the foreign sugar between the United States! and allies, subject to the approval of the Ameri can, English, French and Italian gov ernments. This committee, while holding strong views as to the price to be paid for Cuban sugar, has . not had the.’final voice. This voice has rested In the governments concerned, Together with the Cuban government, and I wish to slate em phatically that all of the gen tlemen concerned as good commercial men have endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower price, and Jthelr persistence has re duced Cuban dem ands by. 15. cents per hundred.

It is said In effect that the Cubans are a t ’our. m ercy; that we could get sugar a cent lower. We made exhaustive study of the cost of producing sugar In Cuba IastJ year through our own agents In Cuba, and we find it averages $3.39, while, many producers are a t a higher -IeveL We found that an average profit of at least a cent per pound w as necessary In order to m aintain a n d . stim ulate production or that a minimum .price of $437 w as necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. !“The price ultim ately agreed w as 28 cents above these figures, or about one; fifth of a cent per pound to the Amerl-' can consumer, and more than this am ount has-been saved by our reduc tion Sn reflnera’ profits. -if-.we.:wlsh to stifle production In Cuba- we could take that course just a t the tim e of all tim es In our history when we want production fo r ourselves and the al lies.

'Though' this commission may bb iessfintensely partisan that the ^farmers of’ the present law, it is scarcely less flav- [ ored with Free Trade bias. Its I o airman is a doctrinaire econo I mist, and all its members but one are non Protectionists. • -A com mis sion composed of live tdroue against Protection can be expected to be very fair, not to say favorable,, to effective Proteetidn. But we are assured-that the Tar iff Commission is tohaVe nothing to do with framing - a Tariff, law, not even bo much as Co. suggest Tariff schedules.

AU competi tion iB un-economic that puts the products of high-paid labor, at a selling disad vantage with the pro duels of-low paid labor. To en courage such un-ecouomic compe tition in the home market of the higher wage country'-is to inflict a mortal injury on its national pros perity, and constitutes “an enemy act.” Here; then, is the soul of sound Protection. It is at once ec onomic. equitabie and ethical; In principle it is as unexceptional as the Golden Buie. Nor is there any practical diffi culty in levying such a Tariff, if you honestly want to do it. All that is necessary is to impose a Tariff fully covering the difference between the highest cost of pro duction here and the lowest cost of production in the lowest wage country competing in our market. This would simply be making A- merican wages the basis of compeT tition in the American market. This is to say, all who wish to sell in the American market must pay the equivalent of American wages. What they fail to pay at home in wages must pay here in Tariff du ties. To this there should be no exception. No free list in compe ting products. The soundness of this principle will hardly be questioned by reas onable statesmen of any school. Even administration leaders like Underwood and Citchin will- not yahtnfe openly .to dispute, it.

North Carolina Congressmen are making a ,vigorous fight to have the government pay rural delivery and star ronte carriers more money thaii they are now receiving. Es pecially is this true regarding the Btar. route men .who are under con tract, and according to Represent ative Houghton, who is leading their fight, are the poorest paid people in the government service The star route carriers: Mr. Doughtou says, receive - salaries ranging from $300 to §600 a year. They must furnish their own horses !and buggies and in addition ,it takes their entire time to perform the service required of them. Contracts nbder which the star route men are now working were !let several years ago and still have [two more years to run. War conditions have made it iin possible for many of the carriers to fnltilltbeir contracts except at a great 'financial loss and many of them have quit, leaving the- inno cent but responsible bondsmCu to fill thejob. Mr. Dough ton’s, plan is to have Postmaster Genei al Burleson cancel all star route contracts and adver tise for new bids. In this way. he says those; now receiving less than a living wage will -be relieved of their burdeu and the ■; government can then .pay1 more for Ihe service now being performed at loss'to the contractor.,.. >. ‘.I; « w .v s .” Gditing Rid of Colds. .The easiest and quickest way to get «d of a cold : is i to take/C ham berlain’s . bn.Ah Reiriedv.- This preparation has; ' b ^ n in uae for many yeai^and.itijvalue; W iypraven.

The Statesville Landmark, in com menting on the article which appear ed In a recent issue of The Record in regard to the.condition of the body of the soldier- shipped from Camp Jackson to this county for burial has the following to say. And The Landmark will add that if there is no law to reach him he ought to be mobbed. Tnis paper had serious doubt of the trnth of re ports, recently given currency by Senator Chamberlain, that bodies ot dead soldiers had been sent home nude. This- report' -from Gamp Jackson shows that a scoundrelly un dertaker had been profiteering bv saving the cost of preparing the body; and he expeeted to escape de tection by warning that the 'caske should not be opened,' The Davie people took the proper conrse to stop the outrage.

Aiiirriran troops in France now are hi I :i:t Ie on three sectors—on their own line east of St. Mihiel and with the French in Champagne and on one ■;f iiie most famous battle fronts ‘n i .he world, where ruined villages and ilie devastated country generally tell ,I,., tale of hard-fought battles when th Germans pushed forward their line and ultimately wre driven back by lUe French.

Already the men are veterans, Mr nothing the Germans have in stock r:>uinins to be shown them except a ..rent mass attack. Thus far every- r’l i in? has been tried by the enemy t hem has been discounted, and in fome instances doubly discounted.

Hard to Restrain. The only criticism thus far heard regarding the Americans is their de sire to be up and at the enemy. Like their brothers of the north—the Ca nadians—they are hard to hold in re straint.

Hutcheson, president of the Car penters’ and Joiners’ Union now out on a strike, as follows: “William L .Hutcheson, general president, United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners of America, New York: I have received your telegram of yesterday and am very glad to note the expression of your desire as a pa- trlotlc citizen to assist in carrying on the work by which we are trying to save America and men everywhere who work and are free. Taking ad vantage of that assurance, I feel it to be my duty to call your attention to the fact that the strike of carpen ters in the shipyards is in marked and painful contrast to the action of labor in other trades and places. Ships are absolutely necessary for the win ning of the war No one can strike a deadlier blow at the safety of the na tion and of its forces on the other side than by interfering with or obstruct ing the shipbuilding program. “All the other unions engaged in this indispensable work have agreed to abide by the decisions of the ship building wage adjustment board. T.hat board has dealt fairly and liberally with all who have resorted to it. I must say to you frankly that it is your duty to leave to it the solution of your present difficulties with your employers and to advise the men whom you represent to return at once to work pending the decision. "I do not see that anything will be gained by my seeing you personally until you have accepted and . acted upon that principle. It is the duty of the government to see that the best possible conditions of labor are main tained, as it is also its duty to see to it that there is no lawless and con scienceless profiteering and that duty the government has accepted and will perform. Will you -co-operate or will you obstruct? “WOODROW WILSON.” Local D raft Boards Begin Calling Striking W orkers W ho Would Re turn to W ork But for Hutcheson’s Refusal. Washington. — A renewed demand that William L. Hutcheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpen ters and Joiners, send striking ship yard workers in eastern plants back to work pending an adjustment of their grievances was made by Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board. Earlier in the day Hutcheson had answeried a previous appeal with a j communication declaring it would be impossible for him to act until he had' some definite proposition from the shipping board asto working condi tions. Hutcheson’s virtual defiance of the shipping board presents a situation on which oicials declined to comment. Mr. Hurley’s request that the men be put back to work immediately car ried no threat and shipping board of ficials would not say what steps they have in mind. . ' ■ ■ Reports that local exemption boards are preparing to call into the military service striking shipyard workers within the draft age prompted the shipping board to send telegrams urg ing that no such action be taken. De ferred classification for shipyard work ers has been put by the provost mar shal general’s office in the charge of the industrial service section of the shipping board desires that all draft questions be decided In Washington. President Wilson is known to be given personal attention to he labor situation and is following every move in the shipyard strikes. In his communication to Hutcheson, Chairman Hurley points out -that the heads of the carpenters’ and joiners’ union were the only ones who declin ed to leave adjustment of difficulties to the shipbuilding labor adjustment board. Even the carpenters’ locals, de spite this attitude, Mr. Hurley de clares, have asked to be included in the agreement. CENTRAL POW ERS STILL ; AT WAR W ITH RUSSIA. Trotzky Declares, However, Russia’s W ithdraw al and Declares it Real. Although reports of the conference at the imperial German headquarters between Emperor William and the military and political leaders have in dicated the probability' of further fight ing between the Teutonic allies and the Russians, the bolsheviki govern m ent’s withdrawal from the war has jbeen reiterated by Leon Trotzky1 the I foreign mniister. A wireless com- ! munication from Fetrograd sasy Trotz- i ky informed the All-Russian Work men’s and Soldiers’ councils that Rus sia’s withdrawal was a real one and that all agreements with her former allies had been vitiated. The councils approved Trotzky’s policy. At W ar Declares Kuehlmann. Amsterdam.—That Germany and Austria were still at war with Russia was the belief expressed by Dr. Rich ard von Kuehlmann, the German for eign secretary, at the concluding ses sion of the recent peace conference at Brest-Litovsk after Leon Trotzky, the bolsheviki foreign minister, had made his final statement that Russia was out of the war and her armies would be demobilized, but that she would desist from signing a formal peace treaty.The acts of war. Doctor von Kuehl mann said, ended when Russia and the Teutonic allies signed the armis tice, but when the armistice ended the warfare must be revived. He added that b e c a u s e oner or two of the contracting parties had demobilized their armies, this fact would in no wise alter the situation. American international’s Contracts for Building May be Cancelled by the GovernmenL Washington.—Investigation by the department of justice of the American International Corporation’s construc tion of the government’s big fabricat ing steel shipyard at Hog Island, Penn sylvania, was ordered by President Wilson with a view to criminal prose cutions if the isits develop more than reckless expenditure of government money. At the same time Chairman Hurley of the shipping bohrd, who had re quested the move, indicated that the the yard and ships involving many corporations’ contracts for building millions of dollars might be cancelled, wlich was taken I o mean that the government might take over the yard, complete its construction and build the ships itself. This step has been urged ,by members of the senate com mittee investigating shipbuildng. The president asked for the invest- tigation in the following letter to At torney'General Gregory: “Mr. Hurley, of the shipping board, has called my attention to some very serious facts which have recently been developed with regard to contracts made in connection with the ship building program with the company operating ait Hog Island. “They are so serious indeed that I do not think we can let.them be taken care of merely by public disclosuro and discussion. I would be very much obliged if you would have ,some trustworthy person in your depart ment get into consultation with Mr. Hurley about the whole matter with a view to instituting criminal process in case the facts justify it.” ' Charges of mismanagement and a reckless spending of government funds at Hog Island have been made freely before the' senate committee. Witnesses have testified that the yard for which the shipping board is put ting up all tfhe money, may cost twice the sum of $21,000,000 carried in the original estimates. The slow progress made in construction of the yard and reports of the loose - management prompted Chairman Hurley three weeks ago to put in full charge of the work .former Rear Admiral F. A. Bowles, assistant general manager of the emergency fleet corporation, who is now on the ground. PAUL BOLO PASHA MUST FACE FIRING SQUAD SEABOARD CLERKS GOT 20 PER CENT INCREASE Washington.—Details of an arbitra tion agreement giving all Seaboard Air Line railway clerks 20 per cent increase in salaries and a basic eight- hour day were made public here. The agreement was signed here after ne gotiations since last September when the clerks went out on strike. They returned to work after being out three weeks pending the negotiations just completed through intervention of the department of labor. GERMAN TROOPS REFUSE TO MOVE TO FRECNH FRONT Petrograd. — German soldiers at Grodno and Kovno, according to a re port “eceived here from Moscow, have tsfused to obey a command to move to the French front. The troops have Bntrenched themselves under' the pro tection of their own artillery and have defetead a detachment of loyal forces which the German staff -sent to Punish them. This may be an echo of on earlier report of mutiny among German soldiers. BOLO W ILL APPEAL FROM DEATH SENTENCE Paris.-—Bolo Pasha, who was con victed by a courtmartial of treason and sentenced to death, has appealed. Bolo, much to his surprise, was dressed in prison garb and taken to the death cell on his return to Sante prison. He passed a restless night, but was apparently hopeful that the decision may be reversed on appeal. H e ‘said to the-guards: ■ “I am perfectly tranquil. I^ have a thousand grounds .for appeal.” CAPT, VERNON CASTLE KILLED W HILE FLYING Paul Bolo Pasha must face the fir ing squad. The first man of the coterie oi French and other propagandists fa vorable to Gqrmany, who by their machinations sought to disrupt the soldiers and populace of France and bring about a separate peace between the. republicd an -the Teutonic allies, has been sentenced to death by a French court-martai. Thorough lavish expenditure of Ger man money, Bolo aided in a -conspir acy, which in some instances met with success to,corrupt French statesmen and political leaders and to, subsidize the French press into expression of the idea that Germany was invncble at arms and that France should- take tme by the forelock and cease her military activities against her enemies in order to save herself from ultimate vanquishmentThe tentacles of the conspiracy reached even the United States. Here money was transferred to Bolo Hirough the intermediary of Count von Bernstorff, then Gernitm ambas sador to ,this country, and -it was mainly upon evidence'' of the opera tions of Bolo and several r-f his fol lowers in the United States ‘hat Bolo was convicted.

The main building will be 300 feet long and will contain breeding, poultry tenders’ and egg-laying houses.

Modifying the recent com bination sales order of the Food A dm inistration for the benefit of the farm er who has his ow n. cereal substitutes for flour and in using thegn, Food A dm inistrator H enry A. Page authorized retail m er chants to sell flour alone in quantities not exceeding 24 pounds' to farm er cus tom ers who sign a form al certificate stating Jh at they have produced and are using corn meal, grits, hom inay or other cereal substitutes contained in the list included in the recent order of the Food Administration to the same extent as they use flour. On the sam e basis wholesalers, jobbers, m illers and brokers are authorized to sell to re tailers flour alone in such quantities as they have sold to the farm ers un der this ruling, balancing against such sale of flour the certificates received by the retailer from the farm er. These certificates also m ay be used by the wholesaler or other dealer to balance against purchasers of flour from the mills. This new ruling, according to the Food Adm inistration, is the result ot pressure brought by other States who have held th at ■ the fifty-fifty order would not apply to farm ers who raise their own cereal substitutes. A t the TeceUt m eeting'of the Food Adminis trators of the various counties of the S tats here, the question w as threshed out and Mr. Page m aintained his po sition th at the farm ers are not to be excepted. It appeared to the State Food A dm inistrator th at this interpre tation w as accepted and th at no trouf ble in this line w as to be. expected In North Carolina w here the farm ers ap parently w ere willing to bear the ad ditional expense and inconvenience of selling their m eal and buying it back again to comply w ith the State Ad m inistration’s interpretation ot the or der. The same question developing in South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia, however, brought out contrary rulings, and' Mr. Page w as forced to alter his ruling-in the interests of uniform ity. In doing so he wired Food Adminis trator H erbert Hoover: “Am sorry seem s necessary to mod ify fifty-fifty order. Two weeks’ stren uous insistence on our part has re moved opposition in this State and we have our people behind us for com plete compliance.” Does Not Affect Local Trade. There has been considerable con fusion throughout N orth Carolina as a result of. Dhe published order of the Food A dm inistration affecting the trade in live and freshly dressed hens and pullets. According to State Food A dm inistrator H enry A. Page this or der does not affect local trade in N orth Carolina, since it applies only to licensed dealers, principally the cold storage concerns. E very owner of a flock of poultry is being urged as a patriotic duty to refrain from selling for slaughter any hens or pullets. Every hen th at is sold before the 1st of May will repre sent a food loss to the nation o f'a n average of not less than 30 eggs. If the average num ber of hens and pul lets usually sold from Februtry I to- M ay I is sold this year it w ill cause an aggregate loss of 150,000,000 eggs. The value of these eggs is 80 per cent 4 to 100 per cent of the actual value of the hens. The program being urged by the Food A dm inistration and the D epartm ent of A griculture will not en- tail a loss to the farm er hut an actual gain. The co-operation of all consumers of poultry products is also requested. They are asked to forego the use of fowls on their table during the next few weeks except m ale stock. $27,000 for Railroad.

Desirable results from the recent order of the food adm inistration pro- Iilbiting the sale of flour except in combination w ith an equal quantity of cereal substitutes -will not, be lim ited to the feeding of the arm ies, the sav ing of-the lives of tens of thousands of women and children in Europe, and the more equitable distribution of flour a t home, according to dieticians and others who have analyzed the situa tion.

If strong chicks are to be success fully hatched, special care should be given to the hatching eggs. The of fice of Poultry Investigators of the N orth Carolina Experim ent Station at tributes m uch of the prevailing faulty incubation to im proper care of the hatching eggs. The eggs should not be kept too long. It / has been proven beyond question that the hatchability of eggs decreases in direct proportion a s . the length of time they are held after lay ing increases. In general, hatching eggs should not be kept, even under very desirable conditions, m ore than two weeks. Furtherm ore, hatching eggs should be kept’at a cool tem pera ture, about 50 degrees F. being ideal. If they are kept a t a w arm room tem perature, m any of the embryos will develop beyond the resting stage, and a large num ber of apparently infertile eggs and dead germ s will result. The atm osphere of the room In w hich the hatching eggs are held should.be mod erately m oist as a preventive against excessive evaporation. More Pay for Teachers. Supt. E. L .

They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; m ade it into cigarettes, called them 1XUCKY STRIKE, the toasted Cigarette;" and offered them to the public.

"Hum—that’s a different matter,” said Fairy more thoughtfully. “He hasn’t wanted to yet.

The boys here all know me, and ask me to go, and—a man, you see, can just be passive and nothing happens. But a girl’s got to be downright negative, and It’s no joke. One misses so many good times. You see the cases are dif ferent, Prue.” “Yes. that’s so.” Prudence assented absent-mindedly, counting off ten more threads. “Then you would object if he had dates?” queried A unt Grace smilingly. ‘‘Oh, no, not a t all—if there w as any occasion for It—but there isn’t. And I think I would be justified In object ing if he deliberately m ade occasions for himself, don’t you?” “Yes, that would be different,” P ru dence chimed In, such “m iles away” In her voice th at Fairy turned on her Indignantly. “Prudence Starr, you m ake me wild," she said. “Can’t you drop th at ever lasting hem stitching, embroidering, tatting, crocheting, for ten m inutes to taik to me? W hat In the -world are you going to do w ith it all, anyhow? Are you intending to carpet your floors with It?” “This Is a napkin,” Prudence ex plained good-naturedly.' “The set cost me fifteen dollars.” She sighed. “Did the veil "come?” T he clouds vanished m agically from F airy’s face, and she leaned forw ard w ith th a t joy of wedding anticipation that rules in woman-world. “Yes. it’s beautiful.

Fairy,” she said, “you’ve told me so several tim es.” F airy’s eyes twinkled, but Prudence had no Intention of sarcasm . “B ut I can’t help It, can I? W e had quite settled on the home wedding, but when the twins discovered th at the m em bers felt hurt at being left out, father.-thought we’d better change over." “Well, I can’t see th at the members have any right to run our wedding. Besides, it wouldn’t surprise m e if the twins made it up because they w anted a big fuss.” J “But some of the m em bers spoke to father. And you m ust adm it, Fairy, that It is lovely of the Ladles’ Aid to Blve that dinner a t the hotel for us." “Well, they’ll get their money’s worth of talk out of it afterw ard. It’s a big mistake.—W hat on earth are the twins doing out there? Is th at Jim Porrest with them ? L isten how they are screaming w ith laughter! W ould yon ever believe those tw ins are past fifteen, and nearly through their junior rear?

If three or more kernels out of ten from a n y one ear fall to grow it Will be w ise to test every ear in the entire supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears show no poor ones, further testing of the supply is. unnecessary. Prevention Is Best. It m ust not be thought th at good re sults from the germ ination tests are a sure index of high productivity. E ars slightly dam aged by poor preservation, as in damp storage places, m ay germi nate well, but will produce less than if they had got better care. Preven tion is better than cure; and in the case of poor storage, according to seed- com specialists, a cure is impossible. Corn th a t w as selected wisely In the field w here it grew, th at m atured nor m ally and has been preserved properly in mouse and . insect proof, storages will grow and produce satisfactorily. Because there is such a scarcity of seed corn in som e sections of the corn belt, the U nited States departm ent of agriculture urges th at farm ers in this and other sections be careful not to feed corn th at would be more valu able if used for seed. To the detri m ent of the 1918 crop some corn suit able for seed is being used to some ex tent by fnrm ers who have enough seed for themselves. T his is especially re grettable because the corn is frequent ly adapted to conditions and is not a great distance from w here it will be sadly needed for spring planting. Get Seed Best Adapted. Ordinarily seed corn should not be Obtained from a distance. The nicest- loeking seed m ay be entirely unadapt- ed and cause the loss of a crop. ' As there Is but Iittie “hold over” the frost-stricken and drought-stricken areas m ust get their seed from other points. I t should be obtained from a locality having a sim ilar clim ate, and obfalned now. If you have a large am ount, or but a few bushels of a 90-day corn which germ inates well, let your county agent, your state experim ent station and the United States departm ent of agricul ture know abont it. Prom pt co-opera tion should prove profitable to all and prevent many failures next year. USE CEMENT AND CUY TILE One Is Ju st About as Commonly Used as O ther and Are Considered of Equal Value.

W hile tile is laid so th at no w ater stands in the tile, there is no danger of breaking from freezing. You should have a tile expert lay the tile. IMPORTANCE OF GREEN FEED Highly Concentrated Ration Will Ruin Flock Unless Given Sprouted O ats or Some Roots. No m atter how much exercise the chickens have, a highly concentrated ration stfch as table scraps and mill stuffs will ruin a flock unless they are given green food. Sprouted oats, clov er or alfalfa hay, mangels, cabbage and small potatoes are good greens. WHOLE OATS ARE DANGEROUS Good Feed for Poultry, but Hulls May Cause im pacted Crops and Result Fatally. O ats Is a good poultry food. There is some risk, however, in feeding whole oats. The hulls m ay cause im pacted crops and death. T he best way to feed oats is to crush them, sift the halls oat, and feed In the mash. NITRATE OF SODA BENEFITS Highly Valuable for Early Crops W here Rapid M aturity Is Desired— Helps in Orchards. D r. W illiam S. M yers, says th at ni trate of soda is of high value for early crops, w here rapid m aturity is desir able, such as pens, corn, beets, and cabbage. It is a special help to hay, grain, rye, wheat, timothy, cereals, and orchards, all of which are unable to obtain sufficient nitrogen from the soil ju st when they need it. It is a great specific In the production of sugar beets, potatoes, cotton and cane. . Small fruits, such as blackberries, currants, raspberries, and gooseber- j ries, which need a steady, even growth’, I are greatly benefited by nitrate of i soda, which can be furnished all ready | for digestion when the plants re quire it.

W e are often told th at if w e would use more sci ence we would produce more. There is much truth in this. M any of our , failures doubtless could be traced to ■ a lack of science—th at is, ,lack of classified knowledge. I Business methods are indispensable to profitable farm ing.

Her amiability of temper, her loveliness of character, her'remarkabie cheer fulness and happy contented’ dispo sition, her utter want of selfishness, her fidelity to duty, her devotion to her husband and her untiring loving care of her' child, all combined to make her a model woman, friend. wife and mother, and the remem brance of her many excellencies of character will be a precious comfort to her grief-Btricken familv and friends.

In dian warrlors.'in colonial days lived on parched corn'alone for'm any days a t a time, and a t Valley Forge parched com was a t tim es the sola ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the w ar the com crop moved more slowly to m arket this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal is reaching the m illers and consumers. In the meantime the nation’s surplus w heat has been.sent to Europe. TodajJ there are approxim ately 30 bushels of com for every American. This quantity Is greater rby five bush els lhaiii In form er years. C om ;has become, the nation’s main stay in ’the crisis of war. Ju st as this cereal sav.ed the first Auiericah colonists from fam ine on many occasions, just as It. served as a staple fpod during the W ar of the .Rev olution and during the Givil W ar, King Corn has again come to. the front in the nation’s battle w ith'autocracy.

Mrs. Eugene Fesperman, 328 W. Hatl St., Statesville N. C., says: “I had sharp pains across my kidneys, and rheumatic twinges in -m y. limbs and shoulders. One of the family? advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and I got a supply After taking them a short time, I was re lieved of the pain in my back and the rheumatic pains disappeared.

American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their • flocks and herds in order to m eet Europe's tre mendous demands for m eats during the w ar and probably for many years afterw ard.. The Uuited States food adm inis tration reports that American stock raisers have shown a disposition tc co-operate with the government In in creasing the nation’s supply of live stock. Germany today Is probably better supplied with live stock than any oth er European nation. AYhen the Ger man arm ies made their Iiig advance Into France and then retreated vir tually all the cattle In the invaded territory — approxim ately 1,800,000 head—were driven behind tbe German lines. B ut In England—w here 2,400,000 acres of pasture lands have been turn ed Into grain fields—the cattle herds are decreasing rapidly. One of the reasons apparently is the declining maximum price scale adopted , b.v the Knglish as! follows: For::September, $17.76 1Per 100 pound?; October, $17.28; November and December, ,?tC.08; Jan- lary, $14.40. The effect of'these prices was to drive beef anim als on the m ar ket as soon as possible. In Fm nce the number of cattle as well os the 'quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. W here France had 14,807,000 head of cattle Iu 1913, she now has only 12,-’, 341,900, a decrease of 1G.6 per cent. And France is today producing only one gallon of milk compared to two and one-half gallons before the war. Denmark; and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds.for beef because of the lack of necessary feed.

Withdrawal of mileage books by the railroads from ■ North Carolina newspapers the same being' given in exchange for advertising, appears to be producing quite a stir among many of the publishers, especially those who conduct weekly publics- tions The Raleigh correspondent, in his letter to the Greensboro News, says: President Santford Martin, of the State Press Association,-has been in formed that he may send back his mileage and get his war tax. Mr. Martin is corresponding with Secre tary McAdoo, whose order has stopped the issuance of such mile age. Letters are- going up from many weeklies protesting and one of the former nresidents of the edi torial association is quoted as favor ing reprisals against the government, He would pledge the editors to a policy of silence on aii great move ments; wohld have them refuse to print any propaganda sent out from Washingtoh or from agents else where. Liberty loans, war savings and selective drafts would have no more champions in this state. The government would be asked to pay for all the space given It and the newspapers would make more when all things printed are charged for, albeit, the newspapers are perfect- y willing to -resume old relations and to continue a policy which al ways gives the soullesa corporation the ups on them. From every section Jof- the state are going protests. Some of the, country papers are using , all their editorial space to show the injustice of this treatment. Men who have not paid fare in Io these many years begin it now with.great diffi culty. A committee is expected to go to Washington soon to lay the issues before the new. director of the railroads. Besides this, the interstate com mission will be pressed into; .appeal for the editors They don’t like a bit this interruption of the free ride when travelling has been heretofore so easy.

It is the purpose of the bill to move all clocks forward one hour from April to September, thereby caus ing eight o’clock workers to go to work at 7 o’clock, etc. it is reasoned that this will re lieve the usual morning heavy traffic on the street cars in the larger cities because many people will go at the early hour, while many will go at the usnal hour. The movement is meeting nation wide support and it is very likely that the bill will be passed. : __As the bill is now-drawn the clock will be changed on the last Sunday in April uutil the last Sun day in September, but some of the enthusiasts want the clock to Ie changed on the fir*t Snnday in March as the Bun rises at that time 5:41 while on the last Sunday in September it rises at about the same time, 5:38. > uVf.

Julian Morrison Sees Them. Lieut Julian K. Morrison, who is. now a full-fledged second lieutenant in the American Mission, Motor Transport Division, France, writes interestingly to his homepeople, un-. der date of January IOth, He is in the training camp, helping tff train new men.- He can barely hear the guns—only when they are active. He has every comfort he could wish for, living in a chateau, often sitting by big wood fires at night, having visions of beautiful ' women and handsome debonair men. who . once visited there. Along with the vis ions is heard the roar of cannon, wnich tells him that beautiful places are being devastated. "I have a feeling for the French people I -cannot describe” writes Lieu. Morrison, ‘‘When I stand on a road near the trenches and see the regiments going up to the trenches my heart goes out to them. I often imagine the Southern soldiers made a similar picture during the last days of the Civil War, One sees these poor fellows go by and the question always comes into one's mind, how do they keep it up? 'Rag ged, dirty, bearded men, laboring along under the usual infantryman’s pack, many of them with sticks to aid them with eyes and jaws firmly set. To them the glamonr and new ness of war has become old. They have made the trip to and from the trenches too many times. Once in a while in passing through a small town you. can hear a band playing one of the- dashing,' blood- warming marches of the Freiich ar; my and, turning a corner, you come upon a regiment of infantry with its band at its head. These men have probably been-quartered-in the-town during {heir few days of rest and now they are having to go back to the life they know so well. They are' marching in. splendid formation, with the smart, quick step of the French infantry. The band is play ing as on some holiday, but it is not for the men that the music is meant; it is for the inhabitants of the town. The band plavs with the hope of put ting a little new life into the people of the town. The men behind them need nothing of this kind. They need no music and flag-waving to keep them going. Those things are too shallow. There is a deeper feel ing born of untold suffering and pain. So upon these brave fellows falls the two fold duty of fighting and at the same time keeping the people back home as fnll as possible of hope and cheer. As soon as the town is left behind the band ceases playing, the musicians putting their instruments away and the soldiers behind them falling into the old route step and loose formation.” —Statesville Landmark. uV f.

WHAT THE FOOD SITUATION IS 0 The men of England, Scotland, Ireland, Prance, Italy and Belgium are. fighting; they are not on the farms. The food production of these countries has therefore been greatly reduced. Even before the war it was much less than the amount consumed. The dif ference was supplied by the United States, Canada, and other countries, including Russia, Roumania, South America, India and Australia. The difference between production and consumption is now greater than ever, and, at the same time, food can no longer be 'obtained- from most of the outside countries. - ‘ ' v- ' lherefore, our Associates in the war for Democracy depend upon North America for food as they have never depended before, and they ask us £or it with a right which they have never had before. For today they are our’ companions in a great war against a com mon enemy. For the present it is THEY who are .doing the fighting, the suffering, the dying—in OUR wav.

It is true that a lot of our money has been wasted by doing temporary street work, but this bond issue is goingto be used to build permanent streets —streeets that will not wash away every time a big rain falls. The streets are in a deplorable condition, especially Depot street This street is traveled more than any other in the town, and a permanent street hece would be worth thousands of dollars a year to the farmers, the merchants, and every body else. The election, comes off March and far as we can learn there are but few who will oppose the bond issue. The editor of the Record proposes to vote for better streets.. “W. S. S.” The Hen And The Dog. The old hen has at last cackled her way to the front.

Bnt when she remembers the unrestricted dog industry ot tbi? country she then drops her head and dreams of how the dog will pillage the farm, destroy young game, kill the sheep and then chase the hens and pull out their feathers and tear their bodies to pieces and then turn around and eat up all the eggs. Now the hen is exceedingly sorrowful and alas, alas! Poor bird, she groupes her way in sorrow until she takes the cholera and theij.she dies. J. L. R. «W. S.

Th hasn't any cable direct from old Bombay; - y But it says' that 'Peter Skeeter is in opr midst today. It doesn’t seem to woriy about af fairs of state ... But it tells that J. W. Bailey has painted his front gate. It never mentions Kruger or Joseph Chamberlain, But says that Baity’s grocery has a new. windontpane, And that the! “Mission Workers will givea* festival;” And “there’ll be: a; temperance lec ture in Black Sam Jones’ hall. It tells about the measles that; Char lie Parnell had. And says that J. B. Johnston "has become a happy dad.” It says that “cider making is short ly to commence,” And cites the fact that L. G. Gaith er is building a. new fence. It mentions Dewey’s coming in one brief paragraph, And says that: “E, H. Morris has bought,a yearling calf.” And everything that happens within that little town The man who runs the paper has plainly'jotted down. Some people make fun of it, but honestly, I like To learn that “work is booming up on the.Mocksville pike.” It’s just a - little.; paper—it hasn’t . . much to say— But as long-as it is printed I hope it comes my way. -«w <s.;.s.» You oughtvto take The Record.

Captain Henkes, who was stationed at San Antonio last May, w rote the secretary of war, urging him to accept his resignation, which he had already submitted, and giving reasons which, he declared, would no longer allow him to serve as an officer of the Amer ican army.

I -S W ashington.—The eastern part of the U nited States faces a food short age likely to continue for the next sixty days. , In m aking this disclosure Food Ad m inistrator Hoover declared th at the situation is the m ost critical in the country’s history and th at in m any of the large consuming ' areas ' reserve food stores are a t the point of ex haustion. The whole blam e is put by the food adm inistrator on railroad congestion, which he says also has thrown the food, adm inistration far behind in its program for feeding the allies. The only solution he sees, is a greatly in creased rail m ovem ent of foodstuffs even to the exclusion of much other commerce. | It was evident that the railroad ad- m inistrati n is inclined to resent Mr.. Hoover’s blame of the railroads, and D irector General McAdoo declared he was ready to provide every transporta tion facility for expediting food move m ent. Tne railroad adm inistration, he .said, had suggested that farm ers be urged to release their grain hold ings that large num bers of available cars m ight be utilized in moving them. Cereal exports to the allies, Mr. Hoover’s statem ent says, w ill-be 45.- 000,000 bushels short on M arch I and m eat shipm ents also are far short of the am ounts promised. Inability to move the crops, Mr; Hoover sets forth, has suspended the law of supply and dem and and has created a price m argin between pro ducer and consum er wider than it ever was before. A large part of the corn crop is about to spoil because it is not mov ing-to term inals for drying. The per centage of soft corn in last year's crop, all of which m ust be dried if-it' is to be saved, is the largest ever known. E stim ates placed the am ount as high ‘as a billion bushels. , Potatoes, the food adm inistrator declares, aTe spoiling in the produc ers’ hands while consum ers have- been supplied only from sum m er garden crops and stores carried over.

SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES W ater-Borne Disease Practically Ban ished From W estern Front—Medi cal Corps Keeps Close Super vision . Over Food Fur nished Troops. London.—Chlorine gas, which • the Germans brought into the field of bat tle as a means of poisoning their op ponents, is now. largely used for puri fying the w ater supply of the British army. Thnfe is one of the strange an titheses of this war. Socrates in pris on, noting the pleasure which he had when the fetters w ere taken off his legs, speculated as to how pain and pleasure, though opposite, were so closely linked JJtnt the one seemed al ways to follow on the heels of the oth er. ,In the same way w hat is poison ous in one use is a means' of whole someness in another, and divine provi dence turns even to good w hat wicked ness designed for evil. The Germans rarely get a chance' to UilL anyone with’ chlorine gas how, but chlorine gas is daily in the British lines making w ater wholesome and safe. Saves Thousands of Lives; The effort to secure pure w ater for the British arm ies in the field makes one 'of the fine stories of the war. It lias saved very many thousands of lives by practically banishing w ater borne disease from our principal front. At the outset of ..the w ar the British Hoyal Army Medical Corps declared in its mind all w ater sfipplies to be sus pect. They were held guilty of infec tion until they were proved to be in nocent. A “fool proof’ system of mak ing unwholesome w ater safe by chlor ination was designed. Then all that remained to be done was to provide the machinery and chemicals and to safeguard against carelessness. The first was a m atter of supplies, the second of discipline. Both were equal to the demand made upon them, and on every front now the general rule is that the men are drinking safe wa ter. _ Chloride of lime was a t first the standby for w ater purification. It is efficacious, but w ater chlorinated with It is not very nice. Now chlorine gas has taken its place at big w ater sup ply points. It is ju st as efficacious and It does not taste the w ater to the same extent. A simple test, In which a non commissioned officer of every unit is trained, tells how much chlorination w ater will need to make it safe. If very heavy chlorination is needed, the ' w ater after treatm ent can be dechlori nated and is left pure. The unit’s wa ter cart with its trained sanitary or derly has all the m eans of making wa ter wholesome. B ut the system is fol lowed where possible of purifying a , main supply and, issuing from that. In case of small isolated bodies of men, m eans of w ater purification-are provid ed in the sliape of tablets of acid sul phate of soda. All the old troublesome w ater purifying schemes, such as can- dle-filters, which used to be constantly breaking down, have been scrapped, I THRIFT STAMPS WORN AS I I BEAUTY SPOTS BY GIRLS IU- * ?

' J SEND CRACK AIRMAN W ater precaution now is simple as well as effective. Food Is as carefully looked after by the B ritish Royal Army Medical. Corps as w ater. Food has to be not, only pure but appetizing and scientific. If the fobd is not pure it causes sickness. If ft is- not appetizing it causes dis content. IT it is not scientific, has not its proper proportion of proteins and fats and carbohydrates, it does not keep up the strength of the fighting men. H as ScientiVlc Basis. Probably Thomas Atkins has no suspicion that the very generous ra tion he enjoys has a scientific basis carefully calculated, In .calories; that there is a distinct change, made in his sum mer and his w inter ration, and that scientists look up isotherm al ta bles and so on when he goes to a fight ing area to decide w hat his food should be. B ut th at is so. There are ’sum m er food scales. There Is a ration for the French front and another for the Italian front and another for Salonica. T et another for M esopotamia and an other for southwestern Africa. Some people ore accustomed to talk as though the Germ ans had all the sci ence and were the only people who took the food chem ist into council. .The truth is th at the British have as much science but a good deal more hu maneness, and p art of the hum aneness is to keep the scientific calculations in the background. In regard to cooking, the Royal Army Medical Corps confess to an inferiority in British skill. As compared with the French, we are a nation of bad cooks. The m ost strenuous efforts are being made, and have been made for a long time, to raise the standard of arm y cooking. It is very much better now than a t the sta rt of the war, but it still will not stand well In compari son w ith the general French skill In combining economy w ith savory results. B ut the cooking is better and will yet be b etter; and when the British army come m arching , home it will have, the knowledge to raise greatly the stand ard of dom estic com fort In G reat B rit ain. Thus again, pleasure will follow pain and the evils of w ar bring good In their train.

POLL TAXES FOR WAR WORK Salvation Army Will Collect Refund a t W ichita for Use of Troops Abroad. W ichita, Kan.—Some weeks ago the K ansas suprem e court ruled that cer tain cities did not have to collect a poll tax. W ichita is one of them. Then the Salvation Army officers here conceived a bright idea. “W hy not ask the men for their poll tax, and ,use the money in fur thering the w ar work overseas of tne arm y?” they asked. Now accredited solicitors of the Salvation Army are collecting the poll tax receipts of business men and oth ers. They will present them to the city officials when the refund Is made.

MORE SPRiNG WHEAT a sk ed of farm ers Large Supply of Food and Feed- stuffs Needed in 1018. Agricultural Departm ent Aske Increas- * ed Pork Production and Larger Acreage of Grain Crops. Washington. D. O --T he planting of an Increased acreage to spring wheat and the production of an increased sup ply of other food products aP!1 of ?ivP, stock, especially bogs, is recommend ed In a supplem entary food production program Issued by the United States departm ent of agriculture. TIiis program re-emphasizes and am plifies the food-produetion program for 1918 issued by the departm ent In August, 1917, and other suggestions made in the fall and the first of this year regarding increased pork produc tion and increased production of food stuffs In the South. Taken In connec tion with the recommendations previ ously made, it suggests in full the pro posals which the departm ent thinks it desirable to offer with a view to se cure enough m eat and dairy prod ucts, cereals, sugar and other staple and perishable foods, wool and cotton for the nation, its arm ies, and the al lies. It gives suggestions for the ap proaching spring operations, based upon the latest available inform ation as to the condition of the f&Il-p!anted crops of w inter w heat and rye and as to the num ber of m eat and dairy ani mals reported for 1917. They repre sent the best thought of the special ists of the departm ent who have had the benefit of advice from agricultu ral leaders throughout the country. Our Best Efforts Required. “Notwithstanding an Increased pro duction of staple crops in the United States In 1917, there is need for more food.” the program states. “Taking Into account our own needs, the needs of the nations associated with us In this war, and the needs of friendly neutral nations, our best efforts will be reguired to provide enough food In 1918. W hether the w ar continues or not, the dem ands on this country, be cause of the increasing population and the needs of Europe will be great. An especially strong demand will be made on this country for m eats and live stock. In . 1917, notw ithstanding the m any. difficulties encountered, the farm ers planted the larg est; acreages in the history of the nation, harvested record crops of most things except wheat, and succeeded In greatly in creasing the num ber of live stock.” |*Tlie situation is such th at chief em phasis should be given to the produc tion of the great staple food products, with special stress on w heat and hogs, the leading w ar foods.” The South is urged to provide food for Its own'people and feed for Its live stock and then to plant as much cotton' as can well be cultivated and harvest ed. To raisers of hogs and beef ani m als the world need for m eats and fats Is made d ear. Farm ers are urged to Join w ith the men on the ranges in providing sheep whose wool is needed to equip soldiers. The program discusses the farm la bor problem, points out the lines of ef fort for relief, and outlines the activi ties of the federal and state agencies to furnish assistance. ' Spring WheaL In dealing with the question .of spring wheat, the program sta te s: The acreage of spring w heat should be increased in order to make certain th at we shall have an adequate supply of w heat for our own uses and to meet the needs of the allies. “While the' area of w inter w heat sown In 1917 was the largest on record, the condition of the crop, as reported on December I, was the lowest ever recorded, indicating a probable produc tion of only 540,000,000 bushels. W hether the actual production will be greater or less than the estimate* will- depend upon conditions prevailing be tween now and the tim e of harvest. If there were planted to spring w heat In the United States this year an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting in each spring w heat state within the last ten years, there would be sown ap-' proximately 23,300,000 acres. If there should be planted an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting for each state within the last five years there would be sown approxim ately 21,000 ,- OOO acres. The record planting for any year w as 20,381,000, In 1911. The acre age for 1917 w as IR,511,000. “The departm ent of agriculture has carefully studied all these records and other data-in connection with the pres ent w ar conditions and needs, and'be lieves that It will be possible this year to secure an acreage-in excess of the record acreage which w as planted in 1911. It Is believed that increased' acreages can be secured in states and sections where spring-wbeat production is known Jlo be reasonably promising, and th at such increases can be made without upsetting farm plans. It is hoped that many farm ers, espe, ci.ally in the northern part of the corn belt, will find it possible to plant five to. ten. acres additional, in wheat. In som e. cases 'they will plant more.

Sum mary of Othfer Recommendations. Following is a sum m ary of other im portant recom mendations regarding cereals, meat, poultry, and perishables. Hogs. The num ber of hogs should be’ Increased by a t least 15 per cent during the year 1918. Sugar. Effort should be m ade to m aintain the acreage of sugar cane and sugar beets, and to increase these areas in so far as these crops are well established or are necessary to sound agricultural practice. Production of satisfactory, substi tutes for sugar, including sorghum, corn and cane -sirup, maple- ,products and honey can and should be in creased. ,. Sorghum sirup, it is pointed out, may be produced in nearly every state in the Union, and increased production of sorghum sw eets would enable the pub lic to conserve stilii further the sugar supply In the form m ost'available for transportation to our soldiers. Dairy Products. T he supply of dairy products should be m aintained to m eet the needs of this country and to help Supplyl the increasing dem ands of the allies. Poultry. Poultry production should ,be increased.grently,- especially In back yards and on farm s where w aste m ate rial is available and the purchase of expensive grains and other m aterial Is not required. Corn. An acreage of corn approxi m ately equal to that of 1917 should be planted, w ith possible slight reductions in certain sections to free areas for spring wheat. Oats, Barley, Rice, Buckwheat and Flaxseed. The afea in oats should be m aintained, especially In regions and on soils which are not so well adapted, to other grains, but w ith a sm all reduc tion to provide for increasing the w heat acreage. Barley production should be Increased in regions w here it grows best; especially in the north ern edge o f the corn belt and In sec tions north'and west of the b elt; and rice, buckwheat and flaxseed produc tion should be m aintained and. If pos sible, increased. . Grain Sorghums. The production of grain sorghums* (kafir. milo, feterlta,- etc.) should be increased greatly throughout the drier portion of the Plains region. K afirs' are the most certain grain crops in this section and they can be made to supplement w heat as human food and to replace corn as animal food. Potatoes. The normal acreage of Irish and swfeet potatoes should be m aintained in 1918, notw ithstanding the large crops In-1917. Hay, Forage and Pastures. W her ever feasible, the area devoted to hay, forage and silage crops should be in creased and these products .Should be used to a greater extent In place of grains and other concentrates. Beef Animals. The num ber of beef anim als should be m aintained and, in areas where it is clearly the best range and farm practice, should be increased.. Bean's, Peas arid Peanuts. T he pro duction of beans and peas should be increased-In regions to which they are adapted, because of their high food value, keeping qualities, and availabil ity for dom estic or export trade. Soy beans and peanuts .should lie increased In order to supplem ent beans and peas as hum an food, as a source of much needed oil, and as an’mal feeds. Perishables, (a) M arket gardens' near large consuming centers should be increased so as to meet, as nearly as possible, the needs of the communi ty, and In order to obviate the neces sity o f. transporting such products from distant points. It is im portant to do all th at Is pow _slble to relieve#the strain upon trans portation facilities. (b) The planting of home gardens, especially, for fam ily needs and for preserving food for future use, again should be emphasized. ; (c) The commercial production of perishables generally should be in creased above normal w herever it Is reasonably clear that transportation and m arketing facilities will be avail able. TO SPEED NEW FLEET CaH Is Issyed for 250,000 Volun- -teers to Aid in Work. Reserve Organization of American M chapics Is Formed to Complete* G reat Shipbuilding Program Planned to Win the War.

T he United States Shipyard Vol unteers of the Public Service Reserve has been formed, embracing skilled w orkers in; m any trades. Tw 0 hun- j dred and fifty thousand workmen win be enrolled, all of whom will stan(j ready to respond when they are called to go to shipyards for service. An appeal for volunteers has been made" by the departm ent of labor the council of national defense, the shipping board, the 20,000 four-minute men, governors of the various states, organized labor and business men. The aim fe to fill all the present and future needs of the government’s shipyards. Pay of volunteers will be in accord ance w ith the prevailing wage in the shipyards a t the tim e they are called. Construction of houses for the workers Is being pushed with energy, and the necessary homes will be ready when the men are called. Prelim inaries Are Arranged. AU prelim inary work, such as the building^ of shipyards and shipways, construction .. of housing facilities, preparation anti transportation of ma terial, and the training of workmen, is being rushed to completion. Thus the organization of the shipyard volunteers is being hastened with energy and en thusiasm . Volunteers are requested to go to the nearest enrollm ent agent of the public service reserve or state council of de fense and sign up. Should there be no enrolling agent in the vicinity, they are asked to w rite'to Edward X. Hur ley, chairm an of the United States shipping board, W ashington. Cards are issued to all applicants, bearing statem ents of the purpose of the shipyard volunteers, classifying them according to trades and asking signers to respond when called. But tons will be given" to volunteers bear ing th e inscription, "U. S. Shipyard Volunteers.” In addition, the work er will receive a certificate signed by Chairm an Hurley, which reads: "This is to certify (name of vol unteer) of (city, state), has enrolled in the United States Shipyard •- Volunteers of Pub lic Service Resu -ve to aid the nation in its im perative needs for m erchant ships with which to overcome the subm arine menace and m aintain our forces at the fro n t” Shipyards to W in or Lose. "The world w ar will be won or lost In the Am erican shipyards. Every rivet driven is a blow at the kaiser. Every ship turned out brings America nearer to victory." “Those who give their strength ond influence to the spei dy construction of ships render service that is patriotic and highly essential to the successful term ination of the war.” Quota of' Each State. Eacli state has been assigned a quota, based upon the population and industries. T he quota is as follows: Literally. “We’ve got to get a good actor to pla.v the role of Satan In th at spec tacular perform ance.” “Then there’ll bp the devil UTpnyl" Instinctive Dislike. “Do you like the clinging-vlne va riety of people?" “Not much. They’re too apt to be some hind of suckers.” Left-Handedness. At least one human being In fifty is left-handed. This is the minimum es tim ate. Some authorities say four in fifty. W; Franklin. Jobesdeclares that 4 per cent of the ra te are born left- handed. but about', three-fourths of these are converted by training' into more or less im perfect right-handers.

S tarr’s whole pastorate. “I was proud of us, Lark,” Carol told her twin, after It w as over, and Prudence had gone, an d the girls had wept themselves weak on each other’s shoulders. “W e get so In the habit of doing things wrong* th at I half ex pected myself to pipe up ahead of father with the ceremony. It seems— awful—without Prudence—but it’s a satisfaction to know th at she w as the best-marrigd bride M ount M ark has ever seen.” - “Jerry looked-,aw fully handsome, didn’t he? Did yon notice how he glowed at Prudence? I- w ish you w ere artistic, Carol, so you could illustrate my books. Jerry’d m ake a fine Illus tration.” “We looked nice, too. W e’re, not a bad-looking Bunch, when you come right down to facts. Of course it is fine to be as sm art as you are, Larkie, but I’m not jealous. W e’re m ighty lucky to have both beauty and brains in our twinship—and since one can’t have both, I m ay say P d ju st a s lief be pretty. It’s so m uch easier.” “Carol I” “What?” “We’re nearly grown up now. W e’ll have to begin to settle.dow n. P ru dence says so.” For a few seconds Carol wavered, tremulous. Then she said pluckily, “AU right. Ju st w ait till I pow der my nose, will you? It gets so shiny when I cry.” “Carol I” “What?” , “Isn’t the hoiise still?” “Yes—ghostly.” “I never thought Prudence w as much- of a chatterbox, but—listen! There isn’t a sound.” , - Carol held out a hand, and L ark clutched it desperately. “Let’s—let’s go find the folks. This is awful I L ittle old Prudence Is gone!” CHAPTER IV. The Serenade. A subject th at never failed to arouse the sarcasm and the Ire of F airy w as that of the Slaughter-house q u artet This was composed of four young men—men quite outside the pale as far as the parsonage' w as concerned— the disreputable Characters of the com munity, fam iliar to the local jail for frequent bursts of Intoxication. They slouched, they smoked, they IovUnged, they leered. The churches knew them not. They were the slum elem ent, the Bowery of M ount M ark, Iowa. Prudence, in her day, had passed them by with a shy, slight nod and a glance of tender pity. F airy 'an d Lark, and even Connie, sailed by with high heads and scornful eyes.— haughty, proud, icily removed. B ut Carol, by some weird and Inexplicable fancy, treated them w ith sw eet and EHicious solicitude, quite friendly. H er smile as she passed w as as sw eet as for her dearest friend. * H er “Good morning—isn’t this glorious-w eather?” "■as as affably cordial as hbr “Break fast is ready,'papa I” ' This was the one subject of dispute between the twins. “Oh, please don’t, Cnrol, it does make me so ashamed,” L ark entreated. ‘You m ustn’t b e . narrow-minded, Larkie,” Carol argued. “ W e’re m inis ter's girls, and we’ve got to be a good Influence—an encouragem ent to -the— ®r. weak and erring, you know. Maybe my smiles will be. an Inspiration to them.” And on this point Carol stood -firm even against the tears of h er precious twin. > One evening a t th e dinner, table Fairy said, w ith a m ocking smile, “How are your Slaughter-bouse friends. lodaS'.

And Carol trips by, clean, w hite and shining. They are always lounging against the store windows or posts for support, bleary-eyed, dissi pated, swaggery, staggery. Carol nods and sm iles as only Carol can, ‘Good m orning, boys I Isn’t this a lovely day? A re you feeling w ell? And they grin a t her and sw ay ingratiatingly against one another, and say, ‘Mornih’, Carol.' Carol Is the only really decent person in tow n th at has anything to do w ith fhom." “Carol m eans All right,” declared L ark angrily. “Yes, indeed,*! assented Fairy. “They call them the Slaughter-hodse quartet, auntie, because whenever they are sober enough to w alk w ithout police assistance, they w ander through the streets slaughtering the peace and se renity pf the quiet to w n 'w ith their rendition of all the late, disgraceful sentim ental ditties. They a te in many ways striking character-;. I do not wholly m isunderstand their attraction fo r rom antic Carol. They are some thing like the troubadours of old— only m ore so.” Carol’s face w as crimson. “I don’t like them ,” she cried, “but Tm sorry for them . I w ant to show them that the decent element, we Christians, are sorry for them and w ant to m ake them better.” “Carol w ants to be an influence,” F airy continued. “Of course it is a little em barrassing for the rest of us to have her on such friendly term s w ith the m ost unm entionable, charac ters in all M ount M ark. B ut Carol is like so many reform ers—In the pres ence of one great tru th she has eyes for it only, Ignoring a thousand other, greater truths.” j. “I am sorry for them ,” Carol repeat ed, m ore weakly abashed by the pres ence of the' united fam ily. Fairy’s,'dls- sertntions on this subject had usually occurred In private. . Mr. S tarr m entally resolved that he would talk this over w ith Carol when the others: w ere not present, for he knew from her face and her voice th at she w as really sensitive on the subject. And he knew, too, th at It is difficult to explain to the very young th at the finest of ideas are not ap plicable to all cases by all people. B ut it happened th at he w as spared the necessity of dealing w ith Carol pri vately, for m atters adjusted them selves w ithout his assistance. ' * T he second night following w as an eventful one in the parsonage.' One of the bishops of the church w as in M ount M ark' for a business conference w ith the religious leaders, and w as to spend .the night a t the parsonage. The m eeting w as called for eight-thirty for the convenience of the business men concerned, and w as to be held In the church offices. T he m en'left early, fol lowed shortly by/F airy, who designed to spend the evening a t the Averys’ home, testing their supply of w inter apples. The tw ins and Connie,’ w ith the new est and -most thrilling book Mr. Carnegie afforded the town, w ent upstairs to lie on the bed and take turns reading aloud. And for a few hours the parsonage w as as Calm and peaceful as though it w ere not de signed for the housing of m erry min ister’s daughters. A nnj Grace sat dow nstairs darning stockings. T he girls’ Intentions had been the best In the world, but In Jess than a year the fam ily darning 'had fallen entirely into the* capable and willing hands of the gentle chaperon. If w as half past ten. And suddenly, from beneath the pea.ch trees clustered on the south side o f the parsonage, a burst of melody arose. . “Good morning, Carrie, how ’are you this morning?” The 'g irls? sa t up - abruptly, staring at one another,, as the curious,-ugly song w afted In upon them. ^Conviction dawned slowly, sadly, but unquestion ably. ' " The Slaughter-house quartet w as ser enading Carol in return for her win some sm iles! Carol herself w as literally struck dumb. H er face grew crimson," then w hite. m In her heart., she repeated psalm s of thanksgiving th at F airy w as aw ay,, and th a t her father and the bishop w ould not be In until- this ’co lossal disaster w as over. Connie w as mortified. I t Spemed -like a ’w holesale parsonage vtosult. Lark, after -the'first aw ful realization* lay back on the bed and tolled con vulsively. The sollicking strains of “Budwel- ser” w ere sw ung .gayly out upon the night. ' '.' Carol w rithed in anguish. -The sere nade w as bad enough, but this unm er ciful mocking derision- o f her adored tw in w as unendurable, y Then the quartet waxed-sentim ental. They sang, and-lnot badlyt-a few old. -Southern melodies, and sfarted slowly around the corner of the'house, sail singing^-- . ■ U '•-I t has beed said th at Aunt Grace w as alw ays,ldndiauspicious Uisd1W thbut gUtte. ,She had heard the. serenade, ' nUd Promptly con- cluded th at it w as the work of some of the high-school boys, who were unanim ously devoted to* Cnrol. She had a big box of chocolates upstairs, .for Connie’s birthday celebration. She could get them and m ake lemonade and— She opened the door softly and stepped out, directly In. the path of the startled youths. Full of her hos pitable Intent, she w as not* discerning as parsonage people need to be. “Come in, boys,” she said eordialiy. “the girls will be down In a m inute." T he appearance of a guardian angel summoning them to paradise could not have confounded them more .utterly. They stum bled qll over one another in trying tb back aw ay from her. She laughed softly. ‘D on’t be bashful. W e enjoyed it very m uch. Yes, come right In.” Undoubtedly they -would have de clined if only they could have thought of the proper method of doing so. As it was, they only succeeded Jn sham bling through the parsonage door, in stinctively concealing their half- smoked cigarettes beneath their fin gers. A unt G race ushered them into the pleasant living room, ’ and ran up to summon her nieces. ’ L eft alone, the boys'looked a t one another w ith am azem ent and w ith grief, and the leader, the touching tenor, said w ith true musical fervor, “Well, this, is a go !” In the- meantime, the girls, w ith hor ror, had heard- their aunt’s- Invitation.

How can I?—How did-1 know?—w hat on earth— Oh, Carol w hatever m ade you sm ile a t them ?” she wailed helplessly. “You know how men are when they.are sm iled a t! The bishop-—” • ' “You’ll have to g e t threnr out before the bishop comes back,” ' said Carol. “You m ust. And' if. any .of you ever give' this aw ay 'to fa th e r' or Fairy n i —” . " “You’d better go '.down a minute, girls,” urged their aunt. “T hat w ill be the easiest ,way. . TH Just pass the candy and Invite them to come again and then they'll' go.' H urry now, and we’ll get rid ,of them before the others, come. Be as decent (is you cany and it’ll soon, be over.” Thus adjured, w ith'the dignity of the bishop and the laughter' of F airy ever In Iheir thoughts, the girls arose and. Went down, proudly/, calmly, loftily. Their inborn senses: of hum or cam e to their assistance when they entered the living room. T he Slaughter boys looked far m ore slaughtered’ than slaughtering. They s a t limply in their chairs, nervously twitching 'their yel lowed slimy fingers, their dull eyes in ten t upon the worn spots in the carpet. It w as funny I Even Carol smiled, not the serene sm eet . smile th at melted hearts, but the grim hard smile of the joker when the, tables "are-turned! She flattered herselfI th a t; 'this-’’wretcheti travesty on parsonage courtesy would be ended before tberev-were -any fur ther* w itnesses- to her downfall from her proud fine heights,' but • she w as doomed to disappointm ent. ’ F airy bn L ' l" ' the Averys1 porch, had heard the sere nade, "After the first shock, and-after the helpless laughter th at followed, she bade' her friends good night. * M° V r *e Ju q t got to go,” she.-said. "It's a' joke on tGaro!. I wouldn’t miss it for twenty-five „ bushels of apples— even as good jas these are.” H er eyes twinkling with delight, she ran- home and w aited behind the rose bushes until the fo m e n t for her ap pearance seemed a t hand. Then she stepped Into the, robin where her out raged sisters Were stoically passing precious and luscious chocolates, to to bacco-saturated youths. • ' “Good "• bvenihg,” she Saldl V “The Averys and I enjcyed the concert, too. •I do- love to h e a r. music -outdoors Oti sttll nights, like these.' Carol, maybe your friends would like a drink. Are there any lemons, auntie?

S u t she did not w aste tim e.

Fairy had no' idea of the young men’s names, but she said, quickly, to spare Carol: 44W e havq been serenaded tonight; doctor—you ju st missed- it. These are the Mount M ark troubadours. You are lucky to get here In tim e for the lemon ade.” - B ut when she saw the bishop glance concernedly from the yellow fingers to the dull eyes and the brown-streaked mouths, her gravity nearly forsook her. The - Slaughterers, already dashed to the ground by em barrassm ent, were entirely routed by the presence of the bishop. W ith -Incoherent apologies, they rose to their unsteady feet and In a cloud of breezy odors, made their'es cape. 'M r. S tarr laughed a little,' A unt Grace put her arm protecttngly about Carol’s rigid shoulders, and the bishop said, “Well, well, well," w ith gentle in quiry. . . . 44We call them th e Slaughter-house quartette,’1 Fairy began cheerfully. “They are the lowen strata of M ount M ark, and they make the nights hide*, ous'with their choice selection of popu lar .airs. . T he parsonage is divided about them . Some of us think we thould treat them w ith proud and cold disdain.] Some think we should re gard -them w ith a ’ tender, gentle,- er— smiling pity. And evidently they ap preciated the smiles, for they gave us a serenade In return for them. Aunt Grace did not know their history, so she invited them 'in, thinking they w ere ju st ordinary schoolboys. It is hoiSe mission work run aground.” 1 ; - V The bishop, nodded, sym pathetically, 4D nd has to be so careful,” he'said. “So extrem ely careful w ith characters like those. No doubt they m eant welt by their serenade, but—girls especially have to ’be very careful. I think as a rule it is safer to let men show the tender pity and women the fine .dis dain.

Mr. Editors—I moved t_o Mocksviile in June, 1897, a iittle more than 20 years ago. I soou saw that our tax money wajs being largely wasted because proper judg ment was not used in working our streets and sidewalks. . The same old methods have been employed all these years, and our tax money h a s' been going through virtually the same old rat hole. I for one am tired of it, for our taxes are burden some. and to virtually throw away unr money year after year makes us tired, very tired. Soon after I came to town I began to advobate setting aside a certain part of our tax money and doing some permanent work on our streets and side walks; and had it been done we would have something to show for the twenty odd thousand dollars in taxes we have paid. This isjno time -for issuing bonds, for the average man has as much as be can carry without adding more to Bis. present burdens. Twelve thousand dol-1 Iars will make .’a poor showing on our streets a t this time with the high cost of j everything to be considered. Our Govern-! ment is appealing to the patriotism of every man. woman and child in th e . land to contribute to the war funds, in order to win the war and forever end this terrible scourge brought on the world by Bill Kais er, the Hun. The government is even asking the'people to hold up building homes to live in if it is possible to put it off until, the enk of the war. The people are asked to discontinue all new enter prises that can be postponed until peace once more .comes to the world. Cannot the streets of Mocksville wait - until this war which is threatening the world with bankruptcy is brought to an end, thus bringing peace and happiness to a sorely afflicted world. Rome was not built in a day, but it'seem s that the world will come to an end unless bonds are issued and the burdens of the Mocksville taxpayers are increased right now. When tim es and prices are normal we can consider this street work, but let us put it aside until Kaiser Bill is overthrown and peace once more comes to a well-nigh ruined world. Because Nero fiddled while Rome was burning; is no reason why those who want to dance Should make.those who do not, pay for the fiddlers. We know who some of the dancers are, and we want-them to pay for the music. I fth e re is a man in MocksviUe who is watting and longing for a job on our streets, let’s appoint a com mittee to hunt him up a job somewhere else until the clouds roll by. Keep yoSr hands in your own pockets until after the war a t least. Let’s all go to the polls and bury the bond issue for the war period at least. . ° E. H. MORRIS. . “W.S. S.* ... NOTICE OF TOWN ELECTION. LetTheFarmer Grow More Food Crops And Live Stock. Having recently been appointed Farm Demonstration Agent IorDavie county, I wish to say a few things in regard to the raising of more food crops and livestock. As all know we are engaged in an awful war th at is threatening liberty and safety of our country. Our boys are going to the camps and some are in France, therefore it is the farmers patriotic duty to ..raise more food crops of all kinds that we may have plenty, at home and to furnish to bur boys In the army. A t the call of our President of the Uni ted States and the Governor of our own state, the farmers of North Carolina went forth with ail their might and* produced the largest crops that aas ever been. pro duced, and again they are calling on us to do better this year than last year if possible. Cotton and tobacco are the highest that we have ever known and it is not necessary th at I should insist on an increase in these cirops for they will be planted.' But let every farmer plant of all crops that-wifi make food for man and stock. Soy, peas, soy beans, potatoes sorgum e tc .: . - Women and'children should plant gar den patches of various kinds of vege tables th a t they may. have plenty for home and to can for winter use. There Will b e a ready market-for more than was made last year a t still higher prices than we are receiving now. ' . I w ant to see on every farm in the coun ty a larger flock of pure bred poultry. Let every girl and-boy between the age of 6 and XO years-old have at least one hen as their own, ands’ee what they can do. Let the girls from ten to eighteen years plant tomatoes and .other crops to can and the boys from ten to eighteen join the boys corn and pig clubs and in this’ way *get more pure bred hogs in the county. .Every farmer- should raise more live stock of ali'kinds and in -this way. have something foput on the market that will bring good returns, and at the same time will be adding to the fertility . of soil in the cheapestrway^ that can be done.

It is from these offices joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time when so many of you are beginning the school year. The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Membership with'School Activities in which every pupil in the United States can find a chance to - serve our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. ....Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service; to yourcommunity and to other communities all over theworld and guide your service with high and reli'gious ideals. : It will teach you how,to save in order that suffer ing children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare some of the supplies which wound ed soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross Bulletins the thrilling, stories of re lief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things under your teacher’s direction to be the future zood citizens of this great country which we all love. ■And I colnmend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your co-operation,-knowing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time" and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs?(Signed) WOODROW WILSON, President September 15,1917. Of the Junior Membership of the Red Cross, Mr. Henry P. Davison, Chairinan of the War Council of the American Red Cross, said:“I believe a program has been made out here which is the. most important single movement that was ever started in America for the protection of the American public and the future of'the people.“When I was talking with the President about the pro gram I then said that I believed! that nothing in the Red Cross was as important as the Junior Membership work, and that alone from the standpoint of our own people.” U nder the slogan “Every School a Red Cross Auxiliary and Center for National Service” the Junior Red Cross has perfected .plans for the en rollm ent of every ,school child in the United States as a m em ber of a Red Cross'1 Auxiliary, the date of the cam paign. being' from Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, to W ashington’s birth day, February 22. The Junior Red Cross is a branch of the Am erican RedV Cross through which every school in Am erica is giv en the opportunity to carry on author ized Red Cross w ork by form ing a School Auxiliary, upon the paym ent of twenty-five cents mem bership fee for "each , pupil enrolled in the school or by a pledge of satisfactory service in Red Cross work. It is the only agency , which., is approved by school authorities to enlist the Xihildren in patriotic work during the war. All other organizations m ust w ork through the medium of the Junior Red CroBs, w hose services have already been re quested by the United States Food Adm inistration and by the W ar Sav ings Stam p' Committee, of which F rank A. Vanderlip is chairm an. The schools, however, are not the <)nly units in which School Auxiliaries m ay be formed. The other educational units which have been recognized as suitable centers in which to organize Junior Red Cr.oss work are Agricul tural : Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire G irls/ Night.
