MAY I. 1918.. NUMBER 42 Don’t Put Up The Shutters. Iy Truman A. DeWeese'.:. Busings as usual! jfdj husiaesB not as usual—but ;flre business! .OIoie Business Than Usual”— at-.; the war-slogan that should eeml)la«oned on the onter walls llon}f with the “star-spangled ,anuer.” Sniiie of the wise ones are telling s to iiiiit IiuyiDg things and' thus {■help win the war.” We mustn’t iuy anything we want or need e must save our money for war tampsand Liberty Bonds. “ An ild shabby, worn out overcoat is badge of honor in these timeB” lays one iminent ,financier. “It kon have planned to give any of vnur money to artisans, mechanics ja r otber wage-earners for goods unde by them in factory or shop hou’t do it.” says another patriot. I don’t agree with any of them If we stop buying things and ev Ienbody suspends normal bnsiness activity, how is the Government Ling to put over these war-savings Stamps or float another Liberty Laanl It duesu’t require a deep know hedge of finance to understand that bnsiuess will have to “finance” Bthe war. If there is no business Stiow can we “ finance” the wart |We cannot pay for it out of out that idea is fallacious I\?e can only make money by |spending,money. If we stop pro­ ducing things, and selling things, land baying things, and merely <te- I pend npon onr savings we will soon !reach the bottom of the box, and I the nest Liberty Loan will find us I without any money with which to Sbny bonds. I attended a luncheon'Ifa^otBeV Iday in Kew York City to which a (number of manufacturers and ad. IvertiserB were Invited. Itw as os- I tensibly given under the auspices I of the United States Food Admin I istration. Like most stunts of that kiDd. I imagine the Food Ad- I ministrator had nothing to do with it and did not know anything about it. An amusing and some what astounding feature of the lun­ cheon wa<* an address by . a man I who was introduced as “ the great est financial writer in IhiHcountryr His title that distinction came I froDi the fact that he had written I sketches of John D. Bockefeller I aud other celebrities of more or i renown. His speech waB I regular busineaa-buster—a diatribe I ol disaster calculated to make a' iuitn |>ut up the shutters, take in his sign aud tack on the door the notice, “Out of Business Until Af ter The War.” He urged every I one to stop buying things, boib luxuries and necessities. If you need a pair of shoes, don’t buy I them; hunt up au old pair and wtar them. . Never mind the staot- inaker. He doesn’t need to; live. Why hother about him? Let him I make munitions. If you need a new suit of clothes,‘don’t buy it; ^wear an 0id one> Don’t worry your head about your clothier or tailor. Lethim make uniforms for the soldiers. And so on down the ling from shoes to furniture a,i(l kitchen ntensils. ■ His words of wisdom fell upon the' assemblage of. business men like a wet blanket. Stnpefac ion followed amazement; and no one had \he temerity to challenge the Btateiueiits of “the greatest writer in this country,” w ho, I dare’say “ever had been engaged in produc Hve industry of any kind. Every business man who heard him in­ wardly disagreed with him, but was hushed.into that discieet silence che better part of valor vhen sell.constituted spokesman for the Goverpment are bunding I 0Itsilver nuggets of post prandiai mentally fallacious—almost crimi­ nal. Theonly w aythat business can finance this- war is for ' people to go right on producing, selling and purchasing things as iu nor­ mal times. If everyone of a him-, dred million persons refrains from buying shoes, that means one hun­ dred million less shoes made Dy shoemakers. Oiie hundred million lesB suits of clothes means that much lees work and wages for weavers and tailors. Carry this idea into all liues of activity and it means that the whole country must finally go out of business and all merchandising most come to a standstill. You can’t give money unless you can earn money. Instead of put­ ting the soft pedal on business, in­ stead of quitting advertising and refraining from- displaying goods in the show windows, every legiti mate business enterprise should be speeded up to the greatest ca pacity. We can't ail of us go into the manufacture of monitions. Tne shell business is important, but we also need Bhoes, and clothes, sn.l candy, and rugs, and carpets, and chairs, and watches, and cat Iery. and china, and books. The more ot theBe goods we make and s-jll, the more money we will have with which to buy Liberty BoDds and war-saving stamps, and the more we will have to give to the Bed Cross. Let us cut out the things that destroy the. body and degrade the mind. They cost money, health and strength. We have been crowding a lot of rubbish through our alimentary canals and calling iff “ food” —but we got no nutri ment from, it—only dis.ease. We SR^ely...don’t. . need:, any' >’.booze: tiding barley and other food grains to manufacture “slop’-’ for foolish human beings is wasteful and un patriotic.- • Some of us can smoke l'e ver cigars—but it is well to re member that the man who makes cigars is a wage earner and he sometimes buys Liberty Bonds. A little sanity and sense and less hectic hysteria is what we ueed. Don’t put np the shutters or pull down, the sign. Business must go right on or we will lose the war—and then Germany will take up business where we left off. What Do You Think of Thisv Because an ' Asheville clothing store published on advertisement advising their patrons to ‘'pur­ chase thrift stamps' and swat, the Kaiser,” and because they advo­ cated the purchase of Liberty bonds as a blow ' at Prussianip.in, the agent for ,the store has been boycotted by the 2000 Germans in­ terned at Hut Springs, says au Asheville dispatch. The agent, who has been doing a considerable business with the Germans, went to Hot Sprioga a* usnal to place bis order. He iiiet with a cold reception and the Ger­ mans finally showed the advertise­ ment, declaring, “your store pnb. Iinhed this and therefore is an en­ emy of Germany.” The agent took this announce ment calamity for a moment, sup­ posing It intended as a joke, but when the German repeated-the re­ mark-and told the agent that his. store was boycotted, the agent replied: . ‘‘Hell, yes, we are against Ger­ many and against the Prussians. We are Americans.”—Statesvilje Landmark. , ■ e c ia itv D a m m e s to r e . § ' «8» «8 » «8» & Gilmer Brothers Co.

Hub. “ If the time ever comes that printers will do our work for • nothing, wholesale houses will fur­ nish us type, presses, Ink and pa­ per for nothing, and all other es­ sentials that ace required to con­ duct the business are donated to us, we will gladly place their names back OO the list aud send'them the paper for nothiug. Until thait time, if they want the paper, we must have pay for it.” A girl ,who asks a fellow. to tie her shoe these times ot high laceid shoes,-has really- got plenty of nerve, but darn little modesty, observes Alf C. Williams in his Cumberland Gap News. Whenever Viiu Need a QeueraI Tonic Take drove’s; Tin. PM Standard Grove’s Tasteless w*Sdo-n. I - cHffl:Tonifc is equally, yalunble-asj-aAo ■ '• '• .

Therewillbe apolitical campaign this fall—just as there was in the fall of 1862 and: the fall of 1864 There will be this difference, how ever,—the minority party this year will be a war party.

Men who talk that way this year stand a good chance of going to jail instead of going to Congress.—Lincoln County Times. “tf• S. S.” WHY WE ARE “OVER THERE ” Those- who opposed the use of American soldiers in France surely see by this time what a fatal blun derit would have been to permit France and England to be beat* n and then fight the central empires alone. Spokesmen of the German government are: talking about the vast indemnities they propose to levy on the adversaries of the kaiser. If Germany gets into position to im­ pose indemnities the people of the United States would be impoverished for a full generation in paying the debt.—National; Republican. «W. S.

Vice-President ,Marshall is now touring the East in a plea for non- partisanship. One of the features of his talk everywhere on his tour is the statement that be once was a Democrat, but how he is an Amer­ ican. The gentleman from Indiana haB a reputation as a humorist, and there is generally far more of nimble wit than thought-compelling words in his utterances. Were.it not for this element in his nature he could not, of course, permit this declara­ tion to follow sa fast upon the heels of hiB recent Wisconsin crusade. He probably regards it as merely a bit of humor, that | statement that he was once a Dempcrat1 but that such political activity] is now a tiling of the past tense. { He was a very! ardent and active DemocratUDtothetime the pools closed for the Senatorial election in Wisconsin a few weeks ago,N He was the leader there of the men sent out from Washington to tell the peo­ ple of the Statethatifthey voted for any but the Democratic nominee they would be regarded as" disloyal to their country. He was the head of the proposition that the defeat of Davies would, be a blow struck- at the waging of the war by the United State3. Perhaps, that was only 'a bit.of humor also, for the people of the State refused to regard, it as a binding doctrine, and by;,'a !,good round margin declined to follow- his advice.

Last Tuesdayijevening- about 8 o’clock an object ; resembling a ball of fire, was obServed-falling through space and travelling 'from , West to South. After.!'moving for some distance theball bxploded, scatter­ ing nre in vvarious directions, and leaving a Iong trail of smoke in its wake. Theismoky jtrail remained visible for several, minutes and work­ ed itself into various shapes. The meteor or whatever it was, appear­ ed to be only a few miles away, but we notice from. readihg various pa­ pers that it was seen by thousands Qt people throughout, this state and South Carolina. It was a wonderful sight and caused - many comments. Such things are ,very rare, especially •in day time, and when a meteor falls at night the trail of smoke cannot be seen. Some- folks were under the impression that a German air­ ship had arrived in this country and was dropping bombs. The bible says that before the end of time there shall be . signs and wonders, wars and rumors of wars, and earth­ quakes in divers plaices.

AirAGK TO P E C M E IT Gsrmans Have Made Important Gains - at Other Points Along the Battte Line. _ " * Kemmell hill, a height which has been looked upon as the key to the southern side of the Tpres salient and one of the most important strategic positions on the northern battle front. In France, has been taken by the Ger­ mans, after a defense which will be­ come of the heroic chapters of the war. The hill was surrounded and the French forces entrenched on its slopes were overcome. The loss of the hill, which is ad­ mitted in an official statement by Gen­ eral Delma Radcliffe, chief director of military operations at the British war office brings to the allies a realiza­ tion that the whole Ypres position is in peril from the German drive north­ ward from the lowlands lying to the west of Armentieres. The Teutons launched terrific at­ tacks along the whole Wytsehaete- BaiUeul-Meteren line, apparently for the purpose of finding a point which might yield. They evidently found that spot in the section of front held jointly by the British ' and French troops; and against it they hurled fresh divisions which fought their way forward all day until at. nightfall they had surrounded Kemmell hill and iso­ lated the French troops holding the position. The loss of Kemmel hill is serious for it overlooks much of the lowlands lying back of the allied lines In the Ypres salient. The hill. is -464 feet in height, rising from lowlands on the south and east. It s six miles southwest of Ypres and three miles west of Wytschaete. This German success cuts a deep notch in the allied line to the southwest of Ypres,and completely outflanks the BritislT on the northern slopes' of Messines ridge, to which they were forced two weeks ago. The line to the southwest, to­ ward Bailleul, apparently is in no paN ticular danger at present, although the village of Dranoutre has been lost to the .enemy. GERMANY'S LOSSES IN WAR 2,000,000 MEN Amsterdam.—Germany’s losses thus far in the war have been 2,000,000 men, according to a statement credited by The Frankfurter Zeitung as having been made by General Schulze before the main committee of the German heichstag. • Sick and wounded men to the num­ ber of 750,000 had been able to re­ turn to the front, according to Gen­ eral Schulze, while 629,000 had been discharged as unfit for service, in­ cluding 70,000 cripples. Up to date, the general added, Germany had to reckon with about 9S,000 cripples. APPOINTMENT DECLINED BY SPEAKER CLARK FRENCH RETAKE GROUND IN COUNTER-ATTACKS Paris.—Counter-attacks against the German lines from Tillera-Bretonneux to south of the.Luce ere launched ^y our troops, who succedeed, despite the fierce resistance of the enemy, who had brought up. important forces, in retaking a large .part of the ground which had been lost In that region, says the official statement issued by the war office. NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS APPEAL TO SHIPPING BOARD TIDE OF BATTLE SURGES TO AND FRO WITH DECISION STILL IN. THE BALANCE. Jefferson City. — Judge Walter Graves, member of the Missouri su­ preme court, has been tendered the appointment of United States senator, succeeding the late Senator Stone., Governor Gardiner made public his proffer after the declination of Sena­ tor Clark to accept the appointment. Washington.—A delegation of news­ paper publishers appealed to the ship­ ping board for aid in bringing 63,000 cords of wood pulp from Canada to this country, to relieve the rapid de­ pletion of print' paper stocks. The pub­ lishers were told that 130 ships' which will be transferred this summer from the Great Lakes to. the Atlantic ocean will he allowed to bring out wood pulp if it does not Interfere with the pro­ posed movement of coal. * GERMANS IN POSSESSION OF DRANOUTRE, SAYS HAIG London.—The Gierinans have cap­ tured Kemmel mountain and village and are also in possession of Dranou- tre, according to the official commun­ ication sent by Field Marshal Haig from headquarters In France. The communication says, that north of the Lys river the \ battle ' is - • continuing fiercely along, the whole front from the neighborhood- of Dranoutre to the Ypras-Comines canal.. AMERICANS IN THICK OF IT RepoH: Says From Four'to Six German - -Division* Have- Been Hiirled at Ypr^s Salient. ■■The great double German driven In the Somme and Armentieres sectors, has developed into a terrific struggle. The tide of battle has surged to and fro during .the last two days, with the decision- still in the balance. The Brit­ ish, having been farced back out of Villers-Bretonneux, launched a coun­ ter-attack and swept the Germans back almost to the lines which were held before the present fighting began. The French have been driven back out of Hangard-En-Santerref but are hold­ ing their positions close by, while on the line southwest of Ypres1 the Brit­ ish have been compelled to withdraw slightly before furious attacks along the Meteren-Bailleul-Wytschaete line. Wounded Americans are arriving at hospital behind the French lines In the Somme sector, showing that Gen­ eral Pershing’s men are bearing their share of the burden of the great bat­ tle. Notwithstainding the frantic prep­ arations made by. the Germans for a continuance of their drive toward Amiens, and the extreme violence of the fighting, their guns thus tar An that region have been- very small. Along the line from Albert south to Castel, except at Hangard-En-San- terre, the German assaults have been hurled back by the allied forces, which are strongly posted on. the . higher ground to which they retired during the last days of the Gefman drive In Picardy. Germans In Desperate Effort. It is unofficially reported that four to six German divisions, or from 48,- 000 to 72,000 men, have been hurled at the British in this sector must have been small, for there are no great "gains reported.by Berlin so far.- It was rumored Thursday that Munt Kemmel, a dominating height north of Wulverghem, had been taken by the enemy, but this has not been 'con­ firmed. That only slight gains have been made anywhere along the two fronts have been subjected to attack; is proof that the allies are prepared to defend theib positions. In the hist* three weeks, the Germans have hurried up heavy cannon to the old Somme bat tie ground and have marched mai\y fresh divisions to the points where they have been held for the moment of attack. WOUNDED AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARRIVING AT HOSPITALS Paris.—American soldiers wounded in the great battle which now is being waged are already arriving at the rear. American wounded and sick to the number of 128 have reached hospital No. 25. They are from units engaged in fighting side by side with French and British in stemming the German advance. Hospital -No, 25 is one of the new in­ stitutions established behind the line as it stood after the allies stopped the recent German drive in Picardy. Few of the Americans remained at -the hospital very long, being taken farther to the rear: Sixteen girl students of Smith Col­ lege are working in day and night shifts at this point and are operating a well arranged canteen at the rail­ road station for the soldiers coming through on the hospital trains. Mrs. Clark, the Misses Justice, Brogan and Scott, , and M /L. Ralthls, and E. W. Lowrey, of th e. American Bed Cros, have rendered notable service at the hospital, v YOUNG MEN BECOMING 21 REQUIRED TO REGISTER NO RETIREMENTS BY ALLIES . Washington.—The house adopted the senate resolution for the registra­ tion for military service of young men who have reached the age of 21 . years since June 5, last. The measure now goes to conference. An amendment offered by Repre­ sentative Hull of Iowa, and .adopted 119 to 81, provides that men register­ ed nnder-the bill shall be placed at the bottom of tha< classes to which they may be assigned. TRIAL OF DR. JOHNSON DEFERRED TILL MAY 15 Richmond, Va.—Motion for post­ ponement until May 15 of- the-trial of Dr. Lemuel J. Johnson, 23, charged with the murder, on DscsSSer 15, last, of his bride, Mrs. Alice Knight John­ son-, was granted when the case was called for trial. The motion was bas­ ed on the plea that R. D. Johnson, of Middlesex, N. C., father of the de­ fendant, could not testify , at this' time because of illness. • M MAKE GAINS OF ABOUT ONE MILE IN VILLERS-BRETONNEUX SECtlON.; BRITISH AND FRENCH NAVAL FORCES CARRY OUT START- LING MANEUVER. SHELL BEL6IAN COAST BASES HMVy Fightlnfl AU Alo.ng . British Firont South, pf Somme and North . -of Ypres. After three weeks of preparation In the Some,during.wkhlch. time they launched an ‘ offensive in Flainders, the Germans have resumed their ham­ mering at the front door of Amiens. For days there has been heavy artil­ lery firing along the northern sectorB of the Somme salient and ^finally Xke Gehnan infantry began their attempts to advance on the line passing' Vil­ lers-Bretonneux, , . Hatigard,s Hailles and Castel. The first attacks were re­ pulsed, but subsequent attacks, cen­ tered. about Villers-Bretonneux, have caused a British withdrawal from this village, according to a report from Field Marshal Haig. This marks a German gain of about a mile. VUers-Bretonneux Is about 11 miles directly east of Amiens and is on the northern end of the latest. “fighting front.’’ It is situated between the Somme and Luce rivers, and, while it is flanked on the south by low-lying ground, it is backed by rolling hills to the west and northwest. ' The fighting on the rest of Qie front, where the Germans have re­ sumed their drive toward the allied base of supplies In northern France, has not, so far as known resulted In any notable retirements on-the part of the allies. The German official report issued on Wednesday was si­ lent as to. events in this sector of the front. An attack on this particular part of the line In the Somme region had been expected, and it is probable that preparations to meet it had been made. The British lines held firm In this region during the last days oi the Initial drive, while the Germans were able to forge ahead further south uatiithey reached-.the, village of Cas­ tel, about three mileB from the rail­ road running to Paris from Amiens. Recently a French counter-offensive at Castel woh -back considerable ground and it was evident that unless the line further north could be ad­ vanced materially the German shad little chance to make important gains in their operations to the south of Amiens. This new drive hag been made at' the same time that another blow has -been struck at the British and French lines northwest of Ypres. - Savage fighting is reported at various points along the line from Bailleul to Mer- ville and Berlin claims- that heights to the northeast of BaIlIeu have been stormed. Conincident with these a t tacks there have -been assauts In the British forces near Bethune, along tho Lawe river, but these have been re­ puted.

Considerable Damjtiae Done to Works on Shore at Both Places by Guns on'Warships. The. British haye not permitted tho halt In the fighting along the western battle front to keep them inactive. With their landsmen on the alert, watching keenly and waiting- for the next move of the German infantry ■ifi-France and Belgium, British naval 'forces,, reinforced to some extent by French warcraft, have carried out a startling and- daring maneuver which, if it should prove to have been suc­ cessful, may play a marked part In 'the future of the • war. No less objec­ tive was sought than the blotting out by one sweeping blow of Germany’s submarine menace from the bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend by the sinking across the exits from the harbors of large old-time cruisers, laden with car­ goes of concrete to make them more difficult of removal. While ‘full details of the attack have not yet been received, the information at hand is that twe of the cruisers were biown up at the entrance to the Bruges canal at Zeebrugge and anoth­ er was sunk while passing In the ca­ nal. At Ostend two additional war­ ships were run ashore and destroyed by bombs, but it is believed they failed fully to choke the channel. Volunteers were chosen by the Brit* ish admiral In command for the dan­ gerous task, and a far greater number of men than could be used in the en­ terprise . willingly came forward and offered their services for a maneuver which might be successful in ridding the water of menaces which had re­ mained impregnable .under the shore batteries, the guns of warships and the treacherous shoal water outside. One British torpedo boat destroyer was sunk by the German guns and four smaller .craft are missing, while a - considerable number of- casualties on board the attacking vessels' was suffered. Geddes Describes Raid. London.—Sir Eric Geddes, first lord ot the admiralty, In supplementing the admiralty report on the raid against Zeebrugge and Ostend, said in giving the house of commons such infoitaa- Uon as had come to hand of “this ex­ tremely gallant and hazardous raid! “I ask the members to appreciate that most of the officers and men from whom we have got to get the informa­ tion have been fighting the greater part of the night and that some of them are not yet In. “The raid, was undertaken under command of Vice Admiral Roger Keyes, commanding at Dover. French destroyers co-operated with the Brit­ ish forces. Six obsolete cruisers, all from 20 to 30 years old, took part In the attack. “A force of monitors, together with a large number of very small motor­ boats, took part in the operation, which was particularly intricate and had to be worked to a time table and Involved delicate navigation on a hos­ tile coast without lights and largely under unknown navigational condi­ tions developed since the war, with the added "danger of minefields.

ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY ARE EXPECTED TO DECLARE WAR Washington.—The possibility of Ar­ gentina' and Uruguay declaring war on Germany was of especial interest to shipping board officials, because of the prospect of releasing interned enemy ships. There are 18 or 20 Ger­ man ships in Argentine and probably fire. In Uruguay. The greatest number, ot German ships in South .American waters are In the harbors of Chile, where approxi­ mately .60 vessels took refuge at . the outbreak of war.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS UNALTER. ABLY OPPOSED TO COURTr MARTIAL BILL. CHANGE FOR THE BETTER Jn d Pains in Sides Believed, by Use of Carduif the Woman’s Tonic, Says Texas Lady* ON A LEVEL WITH BER M M Letter to Overman Leads to Abandon* merit of Fight for Chamberlain Measure. Washington.—What promised to be a sensational fight In Congress over the proposal to turn disloyalty and espionage cases over to military courts-martial was- nipped In the bnd by President Wilson. Champions of the plan abandoned it tor the present at. least, when Senator Overman, of North Carolina, chairman of the judi­ ciary committee, made public a letter from the President declaring unalter­ able opposition to the Chamberlain court-martial bill as both unnecessary and unconstitutional. - Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, author of the. m'easure, announced la­ ter that In view of the President’s at­ titude he would not press the bill and that further hearings on It by the mili­ tary committee would be postponed Indefinitely. Witnesses before the senate military committee, including- representatives of the various branches of the govern­ ment, have urged transfer of trials of spies and disloyalists from the civil to the military courts as the only effec­ tive means of dealing with the menace and reventing a wave of mob vio­ lence. President Wilson’s letter was writ­ ten in response to one from Senator Overman asking his opinion of the Chamberlain bill. The President’s letter follows: My Dear Senator: "Thank you for your letter of yes­ terday, I am heartily obliged to you for consulting me about the court- martial bill, as perhaps I may call It for short. I am wholly and unalter­ ably opposed to such legislation and very much valjie the opportunity you give me to say 'so. I think it is not only unconstitutional, hut- that In character, it would put us nearly upon the level of the very people we are fighting and affecting to despise. It would be altogether- Inconsistent with the spirit and practice of Amer­ ica and In view of the recent, legisla­ tion, the espionage bill, the sabotage bill, and the woman spy bill. I think, it Is unnecessary and uncalled for. *1 take the liberty, my dear sena­ tor,' of expressing myself In this em­ phatic way because my feelings Is .very deep about the matter, as I gath­ er your own is. ■ _ • "It is a/lmirable the way you .have been handling these important bills, and I thank you with all my heart for standing by the bill which bears your name without -any compromise of any kind. “It gives me -the greatest satisfac* tion to tell how much I have appre­ ciated what you have been doing. “Cordially and sincerely yours, “WOODROW WILSON.” Eonp, Texas.—Mrs. Minnie Cheek o< this town writes uI suffered with pains In my sides . . . and couldn’t stand on my feet, at times.

The combination of light green found in the cucumber, and the rich red of the _. ripe tomato makes a salad most allur­ ing. Small toma­ toes may be peeled ind cut In the form 1 of a tulip with a bit of yellow may­ onnaise for the cen- _ ter; placed on head ‘ lettuce, they look like a flower. A pretty way to serve cucumber is to peel it, then pare in rounds as one does an apple, keeping the pieces as long as possible. Wind In rose shape, place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the center and if placed on lettuce or a slice of tomato will prove both pleas­ ing to the eye and the palate. ; Chopped cucumber with onion used as a filling for tomato ,cups, the filling mixed with a good boiled dressing or any kind of oil dressing, is another good combination well liked. Green Pepper With Cheese.—Cut green peppers in halves, removing the seeds and white pulp, then fill with highly seasoned, cream cheese which has been softened with cream; a few chopped chives may be added. The peppers are set away to chill, and when ready to serve cut them In slices. The slice will have a ring of the pretty green or red of the pepper around the cheese. Tomato and Pineapple Salad.—Peel shapely small tomatoes and cut In eighths, keeping it together at the blossom end. Open out like a flower and fill the center with chopped pine- .apple and celery and dot with a spoonful of yellow mayonnaise just be­ fore serving. Slices of radish with slices of onion of the same size In overlapping slices make a pretty gar­ nish for a plain lettuce or head let­ tuce salad. Head Lettuce With P eanu ts.—Take a half cupful of nice fresh peanuts, roll with the rolling pin until crushed like crumbs. Sprinkle these over head lettuce that has been dressed with a highly seasoned French dressing with a tablespoonful of onion added to it. Sbe dresses aye sae clean and neat, Balth decent and- genteel.And then there’s something In her gait H akes ony dress look weel. —B urna prepared on short notice. Canned soups are another available dish. A white sauce with fish, fiesh or fowl or almost any vegetable, cold cooked eggs or macaroni will make a good main dish. An omelet is always welcome and the housewife .who keeps herself well supplied with eggs need not worry if she knows how to prepare a fluffy, tasty omeletJ A half a cupful of rice may be browned In a little butter, then water added to cook it, and when tender stir in two or three eggs with a little milk or cream with seasonings. This win taste like scrambled eggs with use of half the number. For dessert one may always call upon the preserve closet, and with a cracker or small sponge cake or piece of fruit cake with a hot drink, the des­ sert is easy. If a stale cake Is in one’s possession, steam it and make a sauce of a cupful of sugar, two-table- spoonfuls of flour well blended, and just enough boiling water to cook the mixture until smooth, then add a nice lump of butter, a grating of nutmeg, ,and a tablespoonful or two of good vinegar, with a pinch of salt. ' Serve the sauce hot as well as the steamed cake. A n h t b e r quick dessert is called “Fifteen Minute Pudding,” and is one every housewife should know how to prepare. Take a cupful of flour, sift­ ed with a teaspoonful of baking pow­ der, a little salt and a cup of milk. Put into greased cups with a layer of any juicy fruit like cherries In be­ tween the spoonfuls of batter. Steam 15 minutes In a dish of boiling water. Serve with cream.

The mix­ ture will be a lit­ tle more , difficult to handle, but it makes very good pastry.' Baking powder biscuit may also be made, us­ ing barley flour exclusively, with a little larger propor­ tion of baking powder. Molasses Cookies.—Take a half-cup­ ful each of sugar, molasses and vege­ table fat, melt and mix together; cool; add one cupful of sour or butter milk, one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, one cupful of barley flour, a teaspoon­ ful each of soda, baking powder, gin­ ger, allspice, cloves and salt. Mix well and set In the ice box until stiff and cold. Boll out quickly and cut before the mixture becomes too soft to handle. Camp Pudding.—Put a pint of stale bread crumbs with a pint of milk in a saucepan to soak for half an hour; add a half-cupful of honey, one egg well beaten, a few gratings of nutmeg; mix well and bake until the pudding Is set in the center.

Melted fat and sugar with a -few chopped nuts may be usd to spread over the top just before baking. SHORT NOTICE DISHES. The housewife who is at all effi­ cient, trys to have something that may be drawn upon for an emergency when the unexpect­ ed guest or “three were invited here come nine," which will sometimes hap­ pen in the best reg­ ulated neighbor- v hoods: A cream soup with crackers or crotons will make a good beginning for any meal after breakfast or if broth of any kind js at hand a variety of soups may be SAVORY, SATISFYING DISHES. The conscientious housewife who is trying to fulfill the requirements of her food pledge is often much puzzled to plan a well-balanced meal. Spring Soup.—Peel and thinly slice one onion and cook In a tablespoon­ ful of butter for five min­ utes, stirring constantly, then add four cupfuls of chicken broth,-with one cupful of stale bread crumbs. Bring to the boiling point and let simmer 45 minutes, then rub through a sieve and add a cupful of milk.

The Germans have tried many un­ successful expedients to catch pro­ gressive Father Time and force him back Into his medieval trappings, which they believe to be still In fash­ ion. When the picturesque old church at Btrelliers fell before the. enemy’s ar­ tillery, thpugh the' shell of the sym­ bolically sacred structure was abso­ lutely ruined,' the clock escaped de­ struction. Now it forms the front wall of a British Tommy’s hut which is perch­ ed In front of the sheltering pile of debris. Time is with the Allies.—Pop­ ular Science Monthly. Seek Happiness From Within.

Huns Fight Furiously to Capture the Messines Ridge and Bethune—Secre­ tary Baker Returns to Speed America's Men Across—Schwab Heads Shipbuilding. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. At the end of another week of the most sanguinary battle the world has ever known, the British army was still undestroyed, its lines still unbroken. Overwhelmingly outnumbered in Flan­ ders, Haig’s men were forced to give up some important positions, and east of Ypres they withdrew from the bulg­ ing Passchendaele salient before the enemy observed the movement, and straightened and shortened their de­ fensive line so that it was much stronger and more secure. Meanwhile French re-enforcements arrived to as­ sist the British, the commanders hav­ ing decided that the Flanders offensive was not merely a diversion. To the south, on the Somme and the Aisne, the French had been stoutly repulsing every attack, and it was predicted that the time was near when General Foch, the allied commander in chief, might be expected to start his counter- offensive. Though they were still bringing fresh divisions into the bat­ tle, it was figured the Germans must be approaching the point of exhaus­ tion, when a return blow would be most effective. Indeed, it did not seem this blow could be much longer delayed, for the British, though their spirit and courage were undiminished, were sustaining continuous attacks by an enemy which was immensely superi­ or In numbers and was under leaders whose disregard for life was utterly reckless; - —1» — At the beginning of the week the Germans, finding they could not make much progress toward Bethune, at the south part of their salient, because of the stubborn resistance of the Brit­ ish at Givenchy, Festubert and Locon, turned to the north and undertook to flank Ypres by driving the British from the Ballleul-Neuve Egilse, Wul- verghem-Hollebeke line. For two days the attacks of the Huns were beaten back with fearful slaughter, but then Field Marshal Haig was com­ pelled to give ground and retired from part of the famous Messlnes ridge, at the same time drawing his lines nearer to Ypres. There was still higher ground at his rear, however, and his generals and men displayed a cheerful optimism that contrasted with the de­ pression caused In England and, to a considerable extent, In America by what looked like serious reverses. Not for a minute did the men who are doing the fighting admit that they were beaten or could be beaten by any forces Hindenburg could bring against them, and though‘the Hun, when he had taken Ballleul, was within 24 ■miles of Dunkirk, they still had no idea of • permitting him to force his way to the coast. In the effort to reach the La Bassee canal and take Hazebrouck, the enemy, after Intense artillery ^preparation, at­ tacked along the front from Meteren to Robecq, but was repulsed at almost every point and sustained heavy losses. The allied artillery was espe­ cially effective here and east of Be­ thune and the Germans found it al­ most impossible to bring up their ■transport trains. On Thursday .the enemy resumed his attacks in the Bethune region, throwing a number of light bridges across La Bassee canal near Locon. These were swept away by the Briash artillery and machine-gun fire and large numbers of Germans were killed. Again and again the Germans re­ newed the attack, using more than 125,000 fresh troops ,on th<j 12-mile front between St. Venant and Given­ chy, but each time they were thrown back with appalling losses. French infantry and .batteries co-operated with Haig’s forces. —1» — Save for certain engineer units, the American troops had not yet been en­ gaged in the big battle, but they were steadily and rapidly moving up ’to their assigned positions, and the news that more and more of them were be­ ing hurried across the Atlantic was greeted with enthusiasm by the Brit­ ish and French officers and men. They are needed, and needed quickly, for the allied commanders, though believing their lines cannot be broken, know the enemy is still very strong, and un­ doubtedly is gathering his strength for further tremendous efforts. While he well might be held by the allied forces now there, he can only be crushed and driven back when they have been greatly re-enforced by the boys from America. Moreover, the commanders of the allies say no greater mistake could be made than to think this is the final battle. Ev.en if it can be called de­ cisive, it is absolutely essential that the United States send over all its men as quickly as possible, that all possible eventualities may be faced and the right kind of a victory ultimately en­ forced. —te — That this is the view of Secretary of War Baker also is made plain in his report to the president, made. on his return last week from Europe. In a sentence this was that the United States must furnish the strength that will crush Germany, and must furnish It at once. If Mr. Baker ever thought the war was “3,000 miles away,” his trip abroad has cured him of that de­ lusion. There is now no warmer ad­ vocate of the policy of giving force, precision and rapidity to American ac­ tivities, and on his own behalf and that of his department he pledged bet­ ter results In hurrying men and muni­ tions to the fighting front. •As for the American troops now In France, Mr. Baker had nothing but praise for their condition and their military qualities. They have made good In every way, he said. • Those same troops during the week, had op­ portunity to show the stuff they were made of, for several times the Ger­ mans made fierce attacks In the Toul sector. Each time they were repulsed, and the Yankees went into the fray with a joy that did the hearts of their officers' good. Their bravery, coolness and efficiency were so general that their commanders had difficulty in picking out any men for especial com­ mendation. . —Es— The evident and urgent need for more soldiers helped to hasten Lloyd George’s .man-power bill through par­ liament, despite the opposition caused by the clause applying conscription to Ireland. The' government also pre­ pared to introduce its home rule bill which it announced it would pass or fall In the attempt. There was con­ siderable dissatisfaction in England over the fact that the British in Fland­ ers were so badly outnumbered by the Germans, and the blame, If any, was not placed, there were insistent calls for the return of Sir william Bobert- son to the position of chief of the im­ perial general staff. On Thursday Viscount' Milner was made secretary' of state for war, the earl of Derby be­ coming ambassador to France. — P a — . Since it Is still evident that “ships will win the war,” and that America must supply most of the ships, our national shipbuilding agencies were reorganized . last week for the fifth time and Charles M. Schwab, chair­ man of the board of directors of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, was giv­ en Uie new position of director general of shipbuilding and placed in supreme control of , the construction of mer­ chant .vessels. Chairman Hurley of the shipping board and General Man­ ager Piez will work in complete har­ mony with him, directing the organi­ zation necessary to carry out his plans. ;The necessity for some such a step was ,shown by the official an­ nouncement of-the change, which said; "The carrying forward of the construction work In the 130 ship­ yards now in operation is so bad that It requires a ^enforcement of the shlpbuiiding organizatibh throughout the country.” The determination to speed, up shipbuilding was evidenced by the warning issued by "Mr. Hurley ,that delinquent plants will be taken over by the government unless they show decided improvement. — t e — • The British admiralty report showed 15 British vessels sunk by'submarines during the previous week, 11 of them being 1,600 tons or over. On Monday British warships encoun­ tered a fleet of German armed trawl­ ers in the' Kattegat and sank ten of them, the nearby German naval forces evidently not daring to come out to the rescue. The fact that the British were engaged in clearing the Kattegat of mines may portend naval operations of moment. —Ba— Turning to the east, we find the parts of the former state of Russia being ex­ ploited as fields for German ruthless- ness comparable to that which devas­ tated Belgium. According' to advices in Washington, the Huns intend to make Ukraine an Austro-German col­ ony, and are about to dissolve the rada and install a Teuton government. Al­ ready they are putting Austro-Germans into all the offices and have cut Ukraine off from all communication with Russia proper. All entente offi­ cers in the stnte have been ordered un­ der arrest. Finland is running red with the blood of the people of the working class and others who oppose the White guard and the Finnish feu­ dal class. They are pointed out to the German troops, which have occupied Helsingfors, and are murdered by the latter in conjunction with the White guard. The provisional government of Finland and tens of thousands of Finns have retired to Petrograd. The bru­ talities of the Huns are being exhibited also In Russia itself as the troops'push their way north, and east. In one vil­ lage the inhabitants resisted an armed requisition for money by German forces and an officer was killed in the resulting scuffle. Thereupon the . Ger­ mans burned the town and with ma­ chine guns slaughtered the inhabitants as they fled from their blazing homes.. Against this and other similar outrages Tchitcherin, Russian minister of for­ eign affairs, protested to Berlin, ask­ ing the punishment of the guilty. But can anyone recall the infliction of pun­ ishment on the Hnns who perpetrated like outrages in Belgium and northern France? — Ra— Any hope that the relations between Germany and Austria-Hungary might be disrupted by the exposure of Em­ peror Charles’ letter concerning peace and the French claim to Alsace-Lor­ raine was dispelled by the appointment of Baron Burian as minister of for­ eign affairs to succeed Count Czernin, the official goat. Burian is recognized as a .firm supporter of the policy of a continued alliance with Germany and the press of both Austria and Germany assert that the country’s foreign pol­ icy will not be Changed by him: Dr. Von Seydler, the Austrian premier, was emphatic in stating the same view, and said those who looked to. the en­ tente for salvation would always be regarded and treated as enemies of the state. In this category he must in­ clude many of the people of Bohemia, for at a great mass meeting In Prague President Wilson was cheered and the kaiser jeered; In Vienna there, has been serious rioting by the hungry peo­ ple. —te — . Bolo Pasha, the spectacular French traitor, was executed at Vincennes on Wednesday,.after, having made confes­ sions that are believed to involve many others in his Infamies. In the United States men equally guilty. of treason are allowed to live, and if arrested are usually let out on ball to continue their* vile practices until the time comes for their trial. This may be- remedied, however, by the passage of the Cham­ berlain bill introduced In the senate, declaring the United States a part of the military zone and making spies and disloyalists subject to trial by court-martial. Among thoSe who ap­ peared before the senate committee to urge the passage of this measure, was W. B. Bloodgood, chairman of the Mil­ waukee council of defense. He warn­ ed the senators that dire consequences might result in Wisconsin 'unless the government deals more effectively with disloyalty and sedition. “Feeling ffirows stronger with the departure of every army transport”’ said he, “and the peo­ ple are likely; to go back to primitive methods.” Mr. Bloodgodd asserted that pro-German propaganda has been widely disseminated In the training camps-where Wisconsin troops have been quartered, and that German agents have purchased-union cards and obtained employment In munition fac­ tories when they were unable to hit a nail on the head.. Extension of the espionage. law to apply to women will lead to the ar­ rest of numerous women,: though many of them already have fled from the country. Most of the spies who run away go to Cuba, and it has been dis­ covered that their headquarters are in- Havana. —sa -rThe week was marked by tfce death of United States Senator Wiiliam Joel Stone of MissoiirL LOOK AT CHILD’S TONGUE IF SICK CROSS^FEVERiSJf HURRY, MOTHER!

Then with an im­ pulsiveness she did not often show, she lifted her father’s hand and kissed it passionately. “Oh, father,” she whispered, “I was so afraid—you wouldn’t quite see.” She kissed his hand again. Carol looked at her sister respectful­ ly. “Connie,” she said, “I certainly beg your pardon. I just wnnted to be clever, and didn’t know what I was talking about. When you have fin­ ished it, give it to me, will you? I want to read it, too; I think It must be won­ derful.” She held out a slender shapely hand and Connie took it quickly, clumsily, Mr. Starr Sat for a' Long Time Star­ ing Straight Before Him Into Space. and the two girls tnraed toward the door. “The danger in reading things,” said Mr. Starr, and they paused to listen, “the danger is that we may find argu­ ments we cannot answer; we may feel that we have been in the wrong, that what we read is right. There’s, the danger. Whenever you find anything like that, Connie, will you bring it to me? I think I can find the answer for yon. If I don’t know it, I will look un­ til I come upon it. For we have been given an answer to every argument. You’ll come to me, won’t you?” , "Yes, father, I will—I know you’ll find the answers.” After the door had closed behind them, Mr. Starr sat for a long time staring straight before him into space. “The Connie problem,” he said at last. And then, ‘TH have to be better pals with her. Connie’s going to be pretty fine, I believe.” CHAPTER XIII. Boosting Connie. Connie was past fifteen when she an­ nounced gravely one day, “Fve changed my mind. Fm going to be an author.” “An author,” scoffed. Carol. “You! I thought you were going to get mar­ ried and hnve eleven children.” “Oh, Tve plenty of time for them yet, when I find a father for them. Yes, Tm going to be an author." "Can you write?” "Of course I can write.” “What makes you think you can write, Con?” Inquired Dark, with genu­ ine interest. “I have already done It.” “Was it any good?” ‘Tt was fine.” Carol and Lark smiled at each other. “Yes,” said Carol, “she bias the long­ haired instinct. I see it now. They al­ ways say it is fine. Was it a master­ piece, Connie?” “Well, considering my youth and in­ experience, it was,” Connie admitted, her eyes sparkling appreciatively. Carol’s wit was no longer lost upon her, at any rate. “Bring it out. Let’s see IL Tve never met a masterpiece yet—except a dead one,” said Lark. . “No—no,” Connie backed up quick­ ly. “You can’t see it, and—don’t ask any more about it. Has father gone out?” The twins stared at her again. "What’s the matter with you?” “Nothing, but it’s my story ahd you can’t see it. That settles it. Was there any mail today?” - . Afterward the twins'talked It over together. ' “What made her back down like that?” Carol wondered. “Just when we had her going.” “Why, didn’t you catch onto that? She has sent it off to a magazine, of course, and she doesn’t want us to know about it. I saw through it right away.” Carol looked at her twin with new Interest “Did you ever send 'em' off?” Lark flushed a. little. “Yes, I did, and always got ’em bhck, too-r-worse luck. That’s why I gave it up.” “What did you do .with them when they came back?” “Burned them. They always burn them. Connie’H get hors ■ back, and she’ll bum it, too,” was the laconic answer. “You wait until she can’t eat a meal, and then you’ll know she’s got it back. Many’s the time Prudence made me take medicine, just because I got a story back. Prudence thought it was tummyache, Thesymptoms areagood bit the same.” So Carol watched, and sure enough, there came a day when the bright light of hope in Connie’s eyes gave way to the sober sadness of certainty. Her light had failed. And she couldn’t eat her dinner; Iiark kicked Carol’s foot under the table, and the two exchanged amused glances. ’'Connie’s not well,” said Lark with a worried air. “She isn’t eating a thing. You’d better give her a dose of that tonic, Aunt Grace.” ■ ‘Tm not sick,” the crushed young au­ thor protested. “I’m just not hungry.” ‘-•You can see for yourself,” insisted Lark. “Look at her. Isn’t she sick? Many’s the long illness Prudence staved off for me by a dose of this magic tonic. You’d better make-her take it, father. You can see she’s sick.” “You’d better take a Ilttlejf Connie,” her father decided. “You don’t look very well today.” . And the aspiring young genius was obliged to swallow the bitter dose. After the meal was over, Carol shad­ owed Connie closely. Sure enough, she headed straight for her own room, and Carol, close outside, heard a crump­ ling of paper. She opened the door quickly and went in. .Connie turned, startled, a guilty red staining her pale face. Carol sat down sociably on the side of the bed, politely ignoring Con­ nie’s feeble attempt to keep the crum­ pled manuscript from her sight. She engaged her sister in a broad-minded and sweeping conversation, adroitly leading it up to the subject of litera­ ture. But Connie would not be in­ veigled into a confession. Then Carol took a wide leap. “Did you get the story back?” ' Connie gazed at her with an awe that was almost superstitious. “I sure did,” she ,said. “Hard luck,” said Carol, In a matter- of-fact voice. “Let’s see it.” Connie hesitated, but finally passed It over. ‘TH take it to my own room and read it, if you don’t mind.” More eagerly than she would have liked Connie to know, Carol curled her­ self upon the bed to read Connie’s mas­ terpiece. It was a simple story,' but Connie did have a way of saying things, and—Carol laid it down In her lap and stared at it thoughtfully. Then she called Lark. “Look here,” , she said abruptly. 1Kead this. It’s the masterpiece.” She maintained, a perfect silence while Lark perused the crumpled manuscript. ‘Ts it any good?” pursued Carol. “Why, yes, I think it is. It’s just Hke folks you, know. They talk as we do, and—Fm surprised they didn’t keep i t I’ve read ’em a whole lot worse!” “Connie’s disappointed,” Carol said. I think she needs a Uttle boost I be­ lieve she’ll really get there if we kind of crowd her along for a while. We’U just copy it over, and send it out again.” “And if it comes back?” “We’U ,send It again. We’ll get the name of every magazine in the Ubrary, and give ’em all a chance to Start the newest author on the rosy way.” “It’ll take a lot of stamps.” “That’s so. Well, I have half a dol­ lar,” admitted Carol reluctantly. After that the weeks passed by. The twins saw finally the shadow of disap­ pointment leaving Connie’s face, and another expression of absorption take its place. “She’s started another one,’.' Lark said, wise in her personal experience, And when there came the starry rapt gaze once !more, they knew that this one, too, had gone to meet its fate But before the second blow fell, the twins gained their- victory. They embraced each other'feverishly, and kissed the precious check a hundred times, and Insisted that Connie was the cleverest little darling that ever Uved ou earth, Then, when Connie,-with their father and aunt, was sitting In unsuspecting quiet they tripped In upon her. J1We have something to read to you,” said Carol beaming paternally at Con­ nie. “Listen attentively. • Put down your paper, father* It’s important Go on Darkle.” . “ My dear Miss Starr,” read Lark. “We are very much pleased with your story,”—Ctonnie sprang suddenly from her chair—J'your story, tWhen the Rule Worked Backwards.’ ' We are placing it In one of our, early numbers, and shall be glad at any time to have the pleasure of examining more of your work. We inclose our check for forty- five dollars. Thanking yon, and assur­ ing you of the satisfaction with which we have read your story,. I am,' “Very cordially yours,”— “Tra, lalalalaia!” sang the twins, flanging around tbe room, waving, one the letter, the other the d»eck. Connie’s face was pale, and she caught her head with both hands, laughingly nervously. “Fm going round,” she gasped. “Stop me.”- Carol promptly pushed her down in a chair and sat upon her lap. “Pretty good—eh, what?” “Oh, Carol, don’t saythat, it sounds awful,” cautioned Lark. “What do you think about it Con- nie? Pretty fair boost for a strug- gUng young author, don’t you think? Family, arise! The Chautauqua sa­ lute! We have arrived. Connieis an author.. Forty-five dollars!” ‘But however did you do it?” won­ dered Conhie breathlessly. “Why, we sent it out nnd—" “Just once?” !’Alas, no—we sent it seven times.” Connie laughed excitedly. “Oh, oh! —forty-five dollars! Think of it. Oh, father!” ‘Where’s the story,” he asked, a lit­ tle jealously. “Why didn’t you let me look it over, Connie?” “Oh, father, I—couldn’t I—I—I felt shy about it You don’t know how it Is father, but—we want to keep them hid­ den. We don’t get proud of them until they’ve been accepted.” “Forty-five dollars.” . Aunt Grace kissed her warmly. “And the letter is worth a hundred times more to us than thnt. And when we see the story—” “We’ll go thirds on the money, twins,” said Connie. The twins looked eager, but consci­ entious. “No,” they said, “it’s, just a boost you know. We can’t take the money.” ‘Oh, you’ve got to go thirds. You ought to have it all. I would have burned it.” “No, Connie,” said Carol, “we know you aren’t worth devotion like ours, but we donate it just the same—it’s gratis.” “AU right,” said Connie. “I know what you want, anyhow. Come on, auntie, let’s go down town. Tm afraid that silver silk mull will be sold before we get there.” The twins fell upon her ecstatically. “Oh, Connie, you mustn’t We can’t allow it. Oh, of course if you insist, dearest, only—” And then they rushed to Knd hats and gloves for their gen­ erous sister and devoted aunt. The second story came back in due time, but with the boost still strong In her memory, and with the fifteen dol­ lars in the bank, Connie bore it brave­ ly, and started it traveling once more. Most of the stories never did find a permanent lodging place, and Connie carried an old box to the , attic for a repository for her mental fruits that couldn’t make friends away, from home. But she never despaired again. And the twins, after their own man­ ner, calmly took to themselves full credit for the career which they be­ lieved lay not far before her. CHAPTER XIV. A Millionaire’s Son. ‘Hf Jim doesn’t ask for a date for the concert next week, Lark, let’s snub him good.” “Oh, don’t , worry. He always asks. You have .that same discussion every time there’s anything going on. It’s just a waste %f time.” Mr. Starr looked up from hts mall. “Complexion nnd boys with Carol, books and boys with Lark, Connie, if you begin that nonsense you’ll get spanked. One member of my family shall rise above it, if I have to do it with force.” Connie blushed. The twins broke into open derision. "Connie! 'Oh, yes, Connie’s above that nonsense.” “Connie’s the worst in the family, father, only ■ she’s one : of those re­ served, supercilious souls who doesn’t teU everything she knows.” , “ ‘Nonsense.’ I wish father could have.heard Lee Hanson last night It would have been a revelation to him. ‘Aw, go on, Connie, give us a kiss.’ ” Connie caught her lips between her teeth. Her face was Scarlet “Twins!” “It’s a fact, father. He kept us awake. ‘Aw, go on, Connie, be good to a fellow.’ ” “I—I—” began Connie defensively. . “Well, we know i t Don’t interrupt when we’re telling things. You always spoil a good story by cutting In. tAw, go on, Connie, go on, now!’ And Con­ nie said—” The twins rocked off In a paroxysm ft laughter, find Connie flashed a H rderous look at them. “Well, I—” “Give us time, Connie. We’re com­ ing to that. And Connie said. Tm go­ ing in now; Fm sleepy.’ ” “ I didn’t—father, I didn’t!” “Well, you might have said a worse thing than that,” he told her sadly. “I mean—I—” ‘ “She did say it,” cried the twins. “ Tm sleepy.’ Just like that” “Well, it would make you rick,” de­ clared Connie, winkling up her nose to express her dlsgnst. “Are boys al­ ways like that father?” ‘Don’t ask me,” he hedged promptly. “How should I know?” “Oh, Connie, how can you! There’s father—now, he never cared to kiss the girls even in his bad and balmy days, did you, daddy? Oh, no, father was all for the strictly orthodox pven in his youth!” Mr. Starr returned precipitately to his mail, and the twins calmly resumed .the discussion where it had been inter­ rupted. A Tittle later a quick exclamation from their, father made them turn to him inquiringly. • “It’s a shame,” he said, and again: What a shame !” . . “Why, it’s a letter from Andrew Hedges—an old college clium of mine. His son Is going West and Andy is sending him around this way to see me and meet my family. He’ll be here this afternoon. Isn’t it a shame?” "Isn’t it lovely?” exclaimed Carol. “We can use him to make Jim Forrest jealous if he doesn’t ask for that date?” And she rose up and kissed her father. “Will you kindly get back to your seat, young lady, and not Interfere with my thoughts?” he reproved her sternly but with twinkling eyes. “The trouble .is I have to go to Fort Madi­ son on the noon train for that Epworth League convention. I’d like to see that boy. Andy’s done well, I guess. Fve always heard so. He’s a millionaire, they say.” For a long second his daughters gazed at him speechlessly. Then, “A millionaire’s son,” Lark fal­ tered feebly. “But I have to go to Fort Madison. I am on the program tonight. There’s the puzzle.” “Oh, father, you can leave him. to us," volunteered Lark. “We’ll be love­ ly, Just lovely. A millionaire's son I Oh, yes, daddy, yon can trust him to us aU right.” At last he caught the drift of their enthusiasm. “Ah! I see! That fatal charm. You’re sure you’ll treat him nicely?” 1 “Oh, yes, father, so, sure. A million­ aire’s son. We’ve never even seen one yet.” “Now, look here, girls, fix the housb up and carry It off the best you can. TH be gone until the end of the week, since I’m on for the last night, too. Will you do your best?” After his departure, Carol gathered the family forces about her without a moment’s delay. “A millionaire’s son,” she prefaced her remarks, and as she had expected, was rewarded with immediate atten­ tion. “Now, for darling father’s sake, we’ve got to mannge this thing the very best we can. We have to make this Andy Hedges, millionaire’s son, think we’re just about all right for father's sake. We must have a gen­ erous dinner, to start with. We’ll plan that a little later. Now I think, Aunt Grace, lovely, it would be nice for you to wear your lavender lace gown, and look delicate, don’t you? A chaperon­ ing auntie in poor health is so aristo­ cratic. You must wear the lavender satin slippers nnd hnve a bottle of cologne to lift frequently to your sen­ sitive nostrils.” “Why, Carol, WilHam wouldn’t like it!” . “Wouldn’t like It!” ejaculated the schemer in surprise. “Wouldn’t like it! Why wouldn't he Uke it? Didn’t he tell us to create a good impression? e FROM CANNIBAL KING American Explorer and Wife Are Trapped on a South Sea ife u ..i-iiSL-a,;Island.i^ iii RESCUED BY WARSHIP Craft Appears Off Harbor as King Nagapate and His Savages Were Preparing for a Feast on Human Flesh. San Francisco.—Mr. and Mrs. Mar­ tin Johnson, explorers nnd “movie” folk, have arrived in San Francisco, after spending a year in the wastes of the South Sea islands, where they induced cnnnibals and other varieties of savages to look pleasant nnd re­ strain their appetites while they were being photographed. Many and varied were their experiences and they ob­ tained several thousand feet of films, showing among other natives a race distinct from any other In the. Solo­ mon group of islands. The largest are four feet and six inches tall, while the average is a Uttle over three feet in height. Johnson found that the world war has affected even the South Sea Islands, as aU large vessels have been commandeered and the small craft are scarce. Trapped by Cannibal King. Johnson is a native of Independ­ ence, Kan., and a well-known explorer. He traveled the Pacific with Jack Lon­ don in the Snark. His wife is a na­ tive of New York city. During their voyage Mr. and Mrs. Johnson visited the Island of Malli- cala, where Nagapate, the chief high sachem of the Big Number tribe, showed a fondness for their company and sought to detain them. After land­ ing Johnson made a reel of film and then, accompanied by nine armed na­ tives and a group of naked boatmen. I?1 THIS WOMAN SAVED FROM AN OPERATION By taking Lydia E.

Th* little girl said to her mother: “Don’t move here. I can’t bring my TeddJ bear.” Impossible for Johnson or His Wife to Defend Themselves. ■ he and his wife sought Nagapate, who happened to be on a hill near the coast. As the party approached the throne, Nagapate gave some orders at which the carrier boys dropped the camera. Another order brought forth an army of Nagapate’s foUowers who had heen concealed in the surround­ ing brush. AU were armed, making it impossible for Johnson or his wife to defend themselves. Rescued by Warship. . The chief gave more orders and groups of men started to lead Johnson in one direction nnd Mrs. Johnson in another. At that time there appeared in the bay a British man-of-war carry­ ing the French and British governor of the island, who had heard that the Johnsons were visiting Mailicala. Two white men, it seems, had been slain and eaten by the cannibals a year be­ fore, which made the governor a little anxious about the venturesome pair.

CHICAGO Seed Bed )• Often Source ef Infection and Greatect Palna Should Be , Taken to Inaure Healthy Planta —Use Llme Freely. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) 'Cabbage diseases which have been known to destroy practically entire crops are preventable In the main by simple methods of plant sanitation. Crop rotation is one of the chief foes of these diseases. Botations should be practiced, avoiding crops which belong, to the cabbage family, such as cauli­ flower, turnips, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Keep down mustard and weeds which harbor cabbage pests. Drainage water and refuse from diseased cab­ bage fields may carry Infection, as will stable manure with which diseased ma­ terial has been mingled. The seed bed is often a source of infection, and the greatest pains, therefore, should be taken to insure healtby-plants. Locate the seed bed on new ground If pos­ sible, or sterilize by steam the soil that is used. Disinfect all cabbage seed be­ fore planting to prevent black-rot and black-leg. Clubroot is avoided by the free use of lime and by setting healthy plants. *How Diseases Are Spread. Fungous and bacterial diseases are ciuTied from one place to another by- various means, such as insects,(in­ fected seed, transplanting from an In­ fected seed bed to the field,1 drainage .water, cabbage refuse and stable ma­ nure, farm animats and tools, and wind. In view of these facts the chief aim of the farmer should be to pre­ vent, If possible, the introduction and distribution of destructive dtseases on his farm. In order to accomplish this, several precautions should be observed, of which the more important are the disinfection of seed, the location and care of the seed bed, and crop rotation. To disinfect seed, use one ounce of formaldehyde (40 per cent) to two gallons of water, or one teaspoonful to a teacupful of water. Soak the seed for 20 minutes In this solution, dip in clear water to wash off the for­ maldehyde, and then spread in thin layers to dry. stirring if needed. , To ’Disinfect Soli. To .avoid danger of spreading the disease to noninfecte'd fields by means of the plants from the seed bed, the following recommendations are' made for disinfecting the soil In which the plants are grown: Sterilization by mpsns of drain tile laid in the bottom -v S k R/h ts of Cabbage Plant Infected With Root-Knot of the beds, through which steam is passed; by means of an inverted pan under which steam is admitted; or by drenching the soil with a formalin so­ lution , consisting of I to 100, or I to 200 solution of formaldehyde. Crop rotation is an essential practice whether or not ltris necessary In the oontrol of any plant maladies. There ate numerous fungous diseases which appear year after year on the same field. Some of them, such as clubroot of cabbaged are strictly soil parasites and cannot be controlled by any fun­ gicide. About the only method left to get rid of the organisms is to starve them out, and this can be done only by a WelliPlanned system of crop ro­ tation. For ordinary practice, a rota­ tion of four or five years Is sufficient to reduce greatly the .loss from most parasites. Deep ahd frequent cultiva­ tion by means of which the organisms are exposed tp air and sunshine as­ sists In exterminating them. ENCOURAGE BOYS AND GIRLS Little , Money Required and Current Expenditure May Be Reduced by Using Wastes. [Prepared by the United States Depart­ment o t Agriculture.) , Boys and girls should be encouraged to start In the poultry business. It requires little money to invest,'and' the current expenditure may be reduced to part by utilizing farm and home wastes. If the project begins with a laying flock, the return begins early, especially by supplementing the food supply of the home.. CAMPAIGN AGAINST INSECT CRIMINALS Many Birds Carry on Active War­ fare on Various Pests. Little Feathered Songsters Approxi­ mate Police Force as to Malte In­ teresting Study—Pewee Acta as Traffic- Cop. (prepared by the United States Depart­ment ot Agriculture.) Maybe’you have never thought of the birds as an organized, police force. Maybe they have not—but, under the marvelous and mysterious chief, the Balance of Nature, they approximate a police ^orce So closely as to make an lntereitlng study. Tou see a great number of black­ birds—grackles, mostly—literally cov­ ering the ground in some particular place. There has been an outbreak of insect criminals that the regu­ lar forces, were, not able to quell and the reserves have been called out. ' You see a pewee, a kingbird, or a great crested flycatcher sitting per- 7 One of Policemen of Feathered Fam­ ily. fectly still and silent on a dead branch or a mullen top or a bunch of leaves, then suddenly making a dart into the air, wheeling and returning to his perch. That is the traffic cop on dj^ty at the'/crossing of busy insect thor­ oughfares. You see—rather, you do not see. un­ less you are very keen-eyed and pa­ tient, but he Is there none the less— the yellow-billed or the black-billed cuckoo slipping silently, like a sfeuth In gum shoes, from branch to branch and from tree to tree. He Is the plain­ clothes man, relentlessly hunting down the wily enemies of nature’s social order. There are special policemen, watch officers and the like, for various spe­ cial duties. The woodpecker, with the brown creeper and the nuthatch to help him once in a while, stands guard over the tree trunks while the warbler and the vlreo do duty on the leaves and little limbs. But most Interesting of all, perhaps, are the patrolmen of the air, tirelessly going their rounds, from dawn to dusk and from dusk to dawn; policing every foot of “the space ’twixt'th.e earth and the sky.”- At twilight, Jthe night pa­ trolman—nlghthawk a*6 whip-poor- will—go on duty. In the gray dawn they are relieved by the day patrol­ men—swallow and swift. And these day patrolmen are of the greatest Importance, not only In pro­ tecting. man’s property, but In mak­ ing living conditions tolerable. If the mosquitoes, gnats and flies that swal­ lows ‘and swifts consume were per­ mitted to run riot, living would be Increasingly a thing of pain and sor­ row. It follows, then, that swift and swallow, like all good policemen, are entitled to be kindly thought of- by the people they protect. GREAT DEMAND FOR POPCORN Short Crop Last Year Has' Almost Exhausted Reserve Supply in the United States. The enormous increase in demand ».nd a short crop last year has almost completely exhausted the reserve sup­ ply of .popcorn In the United States. In previous years the reserve has al­ ways be€5 maintained. In 1916 the popcorn raiser sold his 1915" crop. In ,1915 he sold his 1914 crop, etc. But now that reserve.Is gone, and the 1917 crop is on the 1918 market months be­ fore It would be marketed normally. ,And popcorn that usually brought two cents per pound in the field two years ago is now bringing five and six cents, and may double In price within the next-year.' v - The 1917 crop will be barely suffi­ cient to supply the country’s demand for this delicious confection until a new crop Is harvested. But the price of corn In the field is bound to Int crease materially. • Until' a few years ago the average man gave little thonght to “the corn that pops.” He looked upon popcorn as a business for street vendors. ‘ Here is an opportunity that every fariner should Investigate. The United States department of agriculture has issued several bulletins on the produc­ tion and marketing of popcorn.

THE DAVIE EECOED1 M0 CKSVILL8 , tTC. Slackers. There are several varieties of j slackers in the country. Tliey are not confined to the ignorant and prejudiced who do not understand their obligation to their country. The worst Blackers are those who do understand, but who are able by their mouey, their shrewdness, or their want of moral integrity to fool the authorities and dodge their duly in this hour of peril. Here, for instance, is a man who hasalwajs had his own' way in politics. He has managed through his wealth, or his skill in the art ‘ of manipulating political wires to defeat those whom he does not like because be caunot control them, and to elect the men who beoauee of his power are subservient to his wishes. That class of men are busy having their own way now. They are dodging military service just as fhey heretofore have C8 r ried out their schemes in politics. Thev keep their own relatives out of military service, and incidently those uot kin to them wno will promise to be good when their ser­ vice ts needed to foster the plans of the boss. These are the real slackers of the time, and they ’are doing more barm than all the oth ers combined. How they manage to shield those under tbeir protect­ ing wing, we do not know. But they are doing now what they have done all tbeir lives, namely, hav ing their own way aud throwing the burden of service on others. The people not so skillful as wiip pullers, bavesons too. Theirboys buve been dratted. They are on the road to France, and they cau not understand why it is that they must make the sacrifice when men who have ten tim«>8 the property to protect are exempt. These slackers are producing wide spread discontent which may lead to de­ sertion and some poor fellow may have to be shot for the shortcom­ ings of these prominent and skill­ ful slackers. This is not a rich man’s war. for thousands of rich, men are standing side by side with the poor, but here and there one of these sleek slackers manages to dodge his duty and thus give' cur rene.y and substance to the false belief that the rich are doing the shouting aud the poor aie facing the guns. Politics rear its hateful head even in the army aud does its dirty work. But the govern­ ment ought to lay its hand on these men and bring them to taw.— Charity and Children. W e W a r n Y o u A n d T h e n Y o u M a y D e c id e F o r Y o u rse lf. We want you to read and consider what we know to be to your interest. Since April 5th the woolen situation never was in such a critical shape. THE GOVERNMENT I 5~I-H has taken over ail the woolen looms and given orders that they must be used from now until Aug. 1st for making Uniform Cloth only, and after that date if there should be any civilian cloth made that it is to contain 40 per cent cotton, and the chances are that the Gov­ ernment will use all the wool available in this country. CLOTHING FOR NEXT FALL will average from 60 to 80 per cent, advance over last fall. $15 00 Suits will sell from $25.00 to $28 00. Hundreds of clothing makers have gone out of business because they can sell what piece goods they have on hand from $5 00 to $8 00 per yard We advise you to buy your Fall Clothing now, if not from us from some one else who has a stock on hand. We have on hand about : $35,000, THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH •of Clothing for Men and Boys at the old prices, and we assure vou that we are not going to take advantage of our customers who have been sticking to us for all these years We have also some time ago secured piece goods and our* manufacturers are now makipg up our fall clothing but the price will aver­ age from $7 50 to $12 50 per suit advance for next fall.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Cross of Christ at Neuve Chapelle. For three long years our front line trenches have run through whatrwaB once a village called Neuve Chapelle, There is nothing left of it now. But there is some­ thing which is tremendously im­ pressive. It is a crucifix. Ii stands out above everything, for the IaDd is quite fiat around it. Thecrosa is immediately behind our firing french, aud within two' or three hundred yards,of the Ger­ man front trench, writes Thomas Tiplatly in - the current Atlantic Monthly. The figure of Christ is looking across the waste of No Man’s Land. Under his right arm and under bis left are British sol diers holding the line. Two “dud' shells lie at- the foot; one is even touching the ,wood; but tho hun­ dreds of shells must have ewept by and millions of machine gun bullets, it remains undamaged. Trenches form a labyrinth all around it. W hen onr men awake and “ stand to” a t dawu The first sight they ee is the cross, and when a t night they liedoWD in the side of the trench, or turn into their dugqnte, Lbeir last sight ’is the cross. It- stands clear in the noonday sun and in the moonlight it takes on a solemn grandeur. I first saw it on .November afternoon, when the sun-was sinking under heavy bauks of cloud, aud it bent my mind back to the scene as it must have been on the first Good Friday, when tne sun died with its dying Lord, and darkness crept up the hill of calvary aud covered him u ith his funeral pail to hide his dying agonies from the curious eye!s'of>tThbelieviD gnien.-~I~ba^ - had tea'in a dugout, and it was dark when I lett. Machine guns were sweeping No Man’s Land-to brush back ene mies who might bejcreeping toward us through the long grass; and the air was filled with a million clear,- cracking sounds. Star ShellB rose and fell and their brilliant light lit up the silent Iorm on the crosB. For three years, night and day, Christ has been stauding there iu ihe midst of our Boldiers. They have iooktd np at him tbioogh ti e clear starlight of a frosty nigbi, and they have seen his pale face iy the silver rays of the moon as .lie sailed her'course through tb<- ueavens. iu the gloom of a stormy .light they have seen the dark out­ line aud caught a passing glimpse ot Christ’s erngy by the flare of the star shells. . I have seed the attitude of our soldiers toward the crocs at Neuve Chapeifeand toward that tor which it stands, aud I fiud more comfort in their reverance for Christ and Christianity than in all their gnns and - impediments of . war. The CrdssolChrist towers above the wrecks of lime, and those nat ious will survive whioh stand between its protecting arms in the trenches of righteousness, liberty and truth. mm THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWEDr BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN NUMBER 43 iO f U nusual Im portance” Por You to Buy Your Wool Clothes Now.

Mr. Eiditor:—I would .'like to re­ cord my observings as I saw: while on a visit to Davie a few days; ago The mosl noticeable is the roads While not perfect, they are so much better than when I was a, boy • On*- would hardly know it as -the v. same county; and the fields, too, • the brushy nooks and corners have gone or many have, and some more could to advantage. The Record, on its weekly visits to us, has been telling of these things, but to appreciate them we must see. The verv fine wheat fields looked good—the best from Catawba, (the banner county) was at Mr. Jim Cartn'er’s.4 Much of the wheat is hurt and I' fear ’ worse than we now think. I remember 1895. I iriet many friends who were wondering what is to become of us, whether we are to starve, drown or freeze, the devil or the kaiser-Jto get us, and the questions are serious. I nad some books that I thought might help from a Bible viewpoint, and it is the best and Rafest.- One1 fellow talked to me like a pope'and correc­ tor of heretics, and as if he wanted me to kiss his toe, and I wondered what had become of the religious liberty and freekom of ’your Uncle Rodger Williams of long ago. If there'ever was a time that. Chris­ tians should lay down bigotry and dogmas and point to-Jesus thevsin- bearer, it is.now, for in a crisis r Vte do not form character but develop it, and the preparedness thot we1 ali need is to meet God and especially our boys that are passing over, ■ It does seem that satan gets the most done on the eesiest terms of any power or party. I was glad for the thought of a sign in The Rerard this week with reference to the fire ball; Now read Luke 21:25, and where all tney will be seen.

They have asked the® Corporation Commission to change j .the train that now leaves- Winston' at 4 a. m., and have it leave Char- - lotte at 5:55 a. m., arriving in Win-• ston about 9 a. m , and returning to: Charlotte almost immediately. This * would mean that the train would pass here about 8 a,m., for Winston, and about 10:30 a m.,-for Charlotte. This would be an improvement over what we now have. * “W. S. S.” Fork News Notes. Mrt.

The Bread Slackers.- Statesville Landmark. The “Junior Observer” who writes much entertaining and in­ structive matter for the Charlotte Observer, tells of a woman, a resi­ dent of Charlotte, who complained that she. was accumulatiug a vast, quantity of meal aud various cer­ eals which she was- compelled to buy wheu she bought flour. She had no use for the stuff, she said, was at a loss to know what to do with it and seemed to think that she was badly treated in being com- pelled to buy it. The party with whom she talked —the “Junior Observer” had the story at second hand—suggested the using the meal and other cere als for food, aB the law contem­ plates, and - as. a patriotic dnty. “Me eat corn meal!” was the in- dignant rejoinder, “ No, indeed.” She wasn’t brought up on corn bread, she said; and she wasn’t going to eat it; and the' appeal to patriotism fell on deaf ears. The party relating the story said that She was not a native of Char­ lotte. But no matter-who Bhe is. nor where she came from, her case and all other cases of that kind should receive attention. There are more of them, probably, than the public knows. The people who are guilty of elevating their noses at coru- bread under the pre­ sent conditions, may buy Liberty Bonds and VFar Savings Stamps; they may work ftr the Y. M. C. A. and for a pretense make much show of patriotism in other direct­ ions, but they are contemptible slackers, devoid ' of patriotism; when they demand that I heir sto machs shall he considered, regard-^ less; bf whether the men who are lighting iu the trenches aud going over the top to death have bread. The Landmark renews the sug­ gestion that every one of these people shonld be put in jail for 30 dayB and ted on corn bread and peas. If the law doesn’t reach them public sentiment can and all real patriots should make it their business.to show them how miser­ ably small they are. To Cure a Cold-in One Day.

New York, April 28—No Ameri­ can has a right to a night’s sleep un­ less during the day he has done some­ thing to aid in the war against Ger- .mainy, declared Col. Theodore Roose­ velt tonight in urging a large audi­ ence at the -Brooklyn Academy of Music to invest in the third Liberty loan. “The man who does not think that it was America’s duty to fight for her own sake, in view of the infam­ ous conduct of Germany toward us, stands on a level with a man who wouldn’t think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife’s face was slapped,” asserted the former President, prefacing an attack on .the “conscientious ob­ jector.” “I would try to find out what he- is conscientious about,” said the colonel. He may be conscientious about killing somebody else: he may be conscientious about keeping his own carcass safe from injury. t “The American who is not'now heart and soul, in favor of fighting this war through to a victorious con­ clusion is a traitor to his country and to mankind.

One of the administration boos­ ters says in a recent- magazine ar. ’ tide that “a good -deal ot Repub- i lican presidential politics has been I played since the beginning of the year.” The fact is that there -has been ten times as much presiden­ tial politics played by the Demo erata as by the Republicans. The Repu blicans have.JJeen largeiy-bar red from playiug politics, because every time they make a move they are accused of tr; ing to embarrass the administration. It they op pose an administration measure, they are doing it for politics. If they support the administration measures, that is also for political purposes. 'In the eyes of adininis- tiation boosters there is no good purpose, no patriotic motive, in- Republicans. On the other hand. the> see nothing but the purest ot patriotism in every Act of the ad­ ministration, including all the wasteiullness, the favoritism, the sectionalism, the procrastination, and the secrecy regarding public affairs. When the administration coddled the I. W. W., th at" was patriotism. It was all right for tbe administration to attempt to establish an eight hour day in the lumber industry on the Pacific Coast while leaving the Southern mills to operate on their old sche­ dules. Il those things had been done by Republicans, the charge of “ playing politics” would have been far too mild 'to characterize the transactions. But the voters are more sagacious- than theadmin istration boosteis give them credit for. - They are wise to the sophis­ try that is being attempted, -and they will demon&tiate the coiidi- tion of mind in the Senatorial anti Congiessional electipus next Burke County Times.

The Leper Colony at Molakai, one of the Hawaiian Islands, has bought $3,000 worth df Thrift and War- Savings Stampsas their contribution toward the cost of winning the war. Mr. Joseph Dutton, who i-s in charge of the island colony, writes: “And so here we are—all the world in a big war—all, in fact, being affected bv it So far away we are busy with it over here. Even our lepers have bought $3,000 worth of Thrift. Stamps—the money earned chiefly by those who are still able to do some work.” How much harder should we, who have something to live for, try to help win the war.

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANT PAPER EVER PUBLISHED IN DAVIE COUNTY. As'the flour ^ets scarcer the meal gets, worser, said a little fellow the other day. “TV. S. S.” Some people are mighty easily knocked down—a quarter will lav them flat. ; «w.s. s.” Yes. Pauline, it is possible for a lawyer to get to heaven but there are many who won’t get there. I “W.S.S.* Some folks were cut out for school teachers, some for preachers and ed itors and some for grand rascals. “W.S.S.* The Record wants a young Iadv correspondent at Smith Grove, Cool eemee, Farmington, Pino. and Ad­ vance. Supplies gladly furnished, write us for particulars. “W. S. S.* A lady called last week, to sub scribe for The. Record. She said they hadtried the other county pa per, but decided they liked the Re cord much better. Thatiswhyour circulation continues to grow. “TV. S. S.” The advice that George Washing ton gave the editors and others, was to use plain English. and make the words so simple that even a child could understand them. How far some of our great editors have gone astray. “TV. S. S.” If Walter Murphy, one of the Democratic candidates for Congress from the eighth district, is as sorrs as the Carolina Watchman, a Demo­ cratic paper published in Salisbury, . says he .is, we are surprised that ht is even a Democrat. Murphy is try­ ing to get Congressman Djughton's 3 'b. The Watchman used nearly a whole page in its issue of last week telling the people what a mean fel­ low Murphy was. . “TV. S. S.” TOO BAD, TOO BAD! The Sentinel, along with the citi zens of ’’The Best Town in North Carolina” naturally very proud of the fact that they, or it, as the case may be, are a part of this enterpris- . ing metropolis of the leading coun­ ty in the state and to have a news­ paper published at Mocksville call our town a "village” is mortifying, to say the least, and under the cir­ cumstances we dare not say the most. Ihe Davie Record, published at Mockhville, says: "Sergt. William LeGrand returned yesterday from a short visit to the village of Statesville.” Buti reading farther in the Record our anger turned to pity when this item was read: - ‘The editor was laid up several davs" last week suffering with a Bprained arm. neck and hip—result • of loo niuch john Henry Ford.” Too bad, too bad, brother Stroud, but as statistics will show gasoleie and .mountain dew will not mix. As this iAthe first offense we shall ask ti.at no civic action be taken, but as the old preacher said when he put tie money in. his pocket thpt had been paid over to him by the cotton mill which: had made it out of cot­ ton futures, instead of. legitimate business. ‘‘It’sj£all right this lime* bb%f}b«i’t let it happen again. ”— Sta|%ville^ntineli . jv, k '■ Whu ever heqrid Qf ia drunken man getting hurt-in a!wjrepk or runaway.

The editor has traveled, over' a number of counties within the past few weeks and has observed the wheat fields generally. When it comes to growing wheat, we believe Davie county stands at the top.. There is no finer wheat fields throu out the State than those in Davie. We are sorry that the wheat grow­ ers in Catawba county cannot take a Ieok at our broad and fertile fields. They would go back home realizing that Davie was the garden spot of the Old North State when it comes to growing wheat and clover. Our county needs to be advertised more. We have land in Davie that produces as much as 45 bushels of wheat per acre. Itis well worth a trip to Davie to look at our wheat fields. “ IV. S.

By JOSEPH C. LINCOLN Of the Vigilantes. Caleb Rogers was seated at the Uttle desk behind the counter of his “gen­ eral store” at Rogers’ Comers. His check book was open before him. and be was tapping bis front teeth with the end of a penholder and apparently considering deeply. Daniel Griggs, who owns the big farm half a mile up the road, entered the store and stood for a moment regarding its proprietor with an amused smile. “Well, Caleb,” be observed, "you look and act more like a Rockefeller every day you live. I presume Ukely you’re figgerin’ whether you’ll invest this month’s income in more Standard He or use it to buy your wife another diamond collar?" Mr. Rogers smiled also, but he was serious enough a moment later. “Dan," he said, “I tell you what I was figgerin’. I was figgerin’ whether I hadn’t better make the check I was goin’ to give the Red Cross folks a hundred instead of fifty.” Griggs’ mouth opened In astonish­ ment - What About Jim Griggs? “You give a hundred dollars to the Red Cross, Caleb Rogers I” be demand­ ed. “You! Are you crazy? You siir- tainly ain’t worth any more money than I am, and I was*ealculatin’ to give about ten—not more’n fifteen anyway. The Red Cross is a mighty fine thing. I know that well enough. But if you’ll tell me why folks no richer than you and me should give”— Caleb’s foot, which had been resting over one corner of the desk, came to the floor with a bang. He straighten­ ed, leaned forward and shook his fore­ finger earnestly at his visitor. “Tell you?” he repeated. “Yes, Dan Griggs, I wUl tell you.. I’ll tell you be­ cause you’ve got a boy; same as I have, up here at the big camp, and it won’t be many weeks, or even days, afore they’re both over on t’other side of the big pond fightln’ the most cussed, cruel,- unscrupulous gang of thieves and murderers that ever rigged up In uniforms and killed women and babies' for fun. Oh, of course you know all that, you’ll say. You know your son has enlisted and is goin’ to war, to battle, to run his chance along with the rest of bein' killed or wounded or taken prisoner. You know it, yes.'in a general "why yon do. Such things, rhe woundin’ and all that, happen to other boys every day, but it’s amazin’ Iiow slow fellers like you and me are to re­ alize that they’re just as likely to hap­ pen to that one boy we set so much store by. It’s, what I’ve Just been try- in’ to realize, Dan. I've been stttin’ here thinldn’ it out. “Take my own boy—or take yours, to fetch it’ right home—take your Jim. ..Tlm left here'and he went off to camp to be trained. And It was colder than the northeast Cprner -Of an ice chest up Iftiffiifr citofi.'anfi Se* no Sooner landed : thar than lie realized he..hadn’t got the heavy sweater he'd' ought to have. His mother would have kDit it, ,Jiut ’twould have taken time, and he’d have . pretty nigh froze waitin’. - So the Reii Cross gave it to him, along with wristeni and a comfort kit. On the ' way, up to camp wherever that troop train, lie' was on stopped there was Red Cross women with hot coffee and sandwiches, a-makln' him comfortable, doin’ the little kind things you and his mother are Just longin’ to do this min­ ute. “When Christmas come who saw that the bundles from home got to him? Wlio gave him things—candy and smokes and such—on its own ac­ count? The Red Cross, that’s who I And when he had.the bad-cold and fever who supplied the nurse that did more than anybody else-to fight the pneumonia off? TheRedCrossl Dan; nobody, else. “And when he’s on the ship goin' across, when he’s marchin’ through France on Kls way to them trenches we read so much, about, when at last he’s in those trenches—who’s lookin’ out for him every minute of the time? Who’s motherin' and/ fatherin’ him, same as you and your wife-would give all this wide world to be able to' do? Why, the Red Cross, Just the' Red Cross. “And when he goes over the" top to get his first real punch at the Kaiser’s gang of pirates, suppose he gets a;bul- Iet through him somewheres.

'TwiU do you good to think just a little. For pretty soon who comes crawlin’ along through the bell fire to him and gives him wa­ ter—and morphine, if he needs it—and binds up his. wounds and ,carries’him back to the place where the doctors are? And whose doctors are they-that gives him the very best treatment that’s possible, and whose hospital does-Be go to afterwards,’and whose doctors and nurses take such good care of him there? Puttin’ it ail 'to­ gether, wlio makes Jim Griggs a Well man again and makes it possible’for his father and mother and sisters to lay eyes on him once more? Nobody on this earth but the Red Cross. And God bless it, I say! What Is Your Son Worth to You? “And now you wonder why a man iio Iiclier than I am is givin’ a hundred dollars to a society-(hat’s doin’, all-that and a million times more for my boy. Look here, Dan Griggs. How much is your son worth to you? If you could save-his life by doin’ it wouldn’t you sell the farm and' the stock, and your house and the last shirt on ypur back? Wouldn’t you give him the last'cent •you had if he needed it to save, himself from torture and death?- Well, the Red Cross is'doin’ everything .humans can do to save him from those things, and it’s warmin’ him and - comfortin' him and keepin’ him wdt'agdijiappy besides. Aife what it’s It’s doiu’ fot£every oi in’ the fieldspr the -trainin' eaipps, the hospitals—even in the German < pris­ ons.

No Part of It, Says John D. Ryan, Went for Any Expenses of the Organization. John D. Ryan, vice chairman of the War Council, recently discussed the disbursements of the first §100,000,000 American Red Cross fund and spoke of the necessity for further funds. He announced that the week set apart for the drive is May 20 to 27. “We have collected $105,000,000,” said Mr. Ryan. “We have allowed refunds to chapters—as you know, chapters are entitled to retain 25 per cent, of the collections covered by the chapter. ' They have not in all cases availed themselves of the 25 per cent, but we have allowed $17,006,121 on this account We have appropriated to date $77,721,018 and we have avail­ able for appropriation on March I $10,871,217, with the addition of $3,- 500,000 we know to be perfectly good when called upon. “The appropriations have been made to the different countries as fol­ lows: France, $30,936,103; Belgium, $2,086,131; Italy, $3,588,826; Russia, $1,243,845; Rumania, $2,676,368; Ser- via7 $875,180; Great Britain, $1,885,- 750, including $1,000,000 that was ap­ propriated by the War Council to the British War Relief, and for other for­ eign relief work, $3,576,300. “For relief work for prisoners we have expended $343,304, and this work is only beginning. These appro­ priations have, been made to care for the prisoners that we feared might be taken. We also spent for equipment and expenses of Red-Cross personnel sent abroad $113,800 ;-■ for army base hospitals In the Dnited States, $54,- 000; for navy base hospitals in the United States, $32,000; for medical and hospital work in the United States,. $531,000; for sanitary service In camps in this country, $403,000; for camp service in the United States, $6,451,150, and miscellaneous in the United States, $1,T1S,743. We have funds restricted as to use by the donors amounting to $2,520,409, and we have as a working capital for the purchase of supplies for resale to chapters or for shipment to France of $15,000,000. We have working cash advances for France and the United States of $4,286,000. “People say we use 60 cents to spend a dollar. The expenses of the Red Cross today are well within the amount of money provided by .mem­ bership fees.

During t|ie spring aud summer months every al>le-bodifed person who is not in active war service ought to get up earlier than is his custom and work in the garden. There will be few perBons. outside the tenemeut districts of the cities who will not bave some kind of garden this year. The success of the war garden, its value as a con­ tribution to the war.j will be meas­ ured eutirely by the intensive cul­ tivation that the owner is willing to give it. Good seed and fertili­ zer are essential, of course but they are not of themselves sufficient to produce good .results; and the gar deuer who buys good seed and fer­ tilizer and then plants bis garden only to neglect it is in his little way a slacker. He not only is not Selping the cause of conservation along, he is hindering i t . by wast ing materials that in the possess ion ot another might have been three or tour times as productive. To lay out your garden with mathematical acuuiacy and artistic eye, to dig it deep aud fertilizer it well, to harrow it aud rake it and smooth it, to plUut it with care, to exult over the smal'l green rows when they appear, to hoe and water and weed, to thin one the plantB that grow too thifik—there is no better occupation lor the early morning or earlv evening hours,' «xcept indeed harvesting the crops wheu they ripen. To work late iu the garden aud to go to bed early means usually.that you will get up early to do Some early work in tue garden.

The question might be asked ami no doubt is, why doea the govern­ ment need Liberty Bonds and War titarnp sales to. raise money, or in other words, why must Uncle Sam borrow of himself? Tbere is a rea­ son and a good one, and we would be unfaithful to our readers and disloyal to our government, if we did not give reason why we have to resort to self-reliance in this world wide trouble. The United States can not borrow abroad and must finance herself. Tbat is the reason she is calling on the.people. Hitherto in great financial crisis she could borrow money iu the markets of the world. Today she must borrow at home, lor -all the world is plunged into war, and has no money to lend, except iu a few countries where small loaus are obtainable. This siiuatiou means that we have the choice of doing two things: We, the citi­ zens of the nation, may lend the money to the government, which is oulj another way of Bayiug that we may take it out of one pocket and place the rnouey iu another, or we may abandon the war. That is practically^ what it amountB to. It you wish us to quit as we are entering the game, hold to your dollars and await the day of yonr subjugation by Germauy, but if you wish us to go forward and win, you must “come across” wheu the call is made and Ieud the govern­ ment wbat you can,—Union Ke- puDlican.

The people are all get­ ting good wages. Iivein good houses, and are a happy-and contented pfeo . pie. They are wide awake and pro­ gressive and are doing their part in helping Uncle Sam win the war They bought bonds and are buying War Savings Stamps,' raising hogs and have some of the finest gardens to be found in Davie County. They are a clever' set of people and treat the stranger in a polite and curteous manner. - Mr. J. W. Zachary is the clever and efficient manager of the large mill, and '.is ably assisted by Mr. J. S. Stroud and others. During onr short stay in the , town we met many of the citizens, whom it is a pleasure to mingle with. Our thanks, are especially due Messrs. C. E Alexander. J. D. Goins and G. W. Jordan fpr courtesies shown us. We received a good number of renewals, ,and a nice list of new subscribers for The Record while there. We believe we are correct when we say that more copies-of The Record go to Cooleemee than any other outside publication. The people there know a good;thing when they see it Since the new train schedules have gone into effect the people of Cooleemee will receive their copy of The Record within an hour after it is off the press. Mr. C E. Alexander will look after the interests of The Re­ cord in Cooleemee'and would be glad to take your subscription. Mr. G. W.

The editor spent Wednesday at Advance, taking in the commence­ ment exercises of the Advance school and shaking hands with old friends. The exercises were very good and a large crowd was present. Hon. 0. B Eaton, of Winston-Salem, an old Mocksville boy, was the orator of the day. His address was highly complimented by those who were fortunate enough to get in ’ hearing distance. During the day eight thousand dollars worth of War Sav­ ings Stamps was sold. The editor had the good fortune to break bread with Mr. and Mrs. T C Sheets. It is needless to say that we did ample justice to a bounteous repast e were sorry the editor of tne Statesville Sentinel was not with us During our stay at Advance we added a nice list of new names to our large list of readers in that sec­ tion, and also received many renew­ als. Borry we could not take in all the commencement. “W. S. S.” Good Man To Represent Davie. It is a little early to mention coun­ ty politics but when a good man is found to fill an office it. is' always wise to let the good people of the county know it. Davie county, has many good men. tried and true, who are competent to fill any office, but we know of no better man to repre­ sent us in the next legislature than Judge J. D. Goins, of Cooleemee. Mr. Goins is a staunch Republican, and can always be counted on to . do the right thing at the right time. He would represent the county in lhe General Assembly with credit to himself and his party. A number of prominent men in the county have mentioned his name in connect­ ion with this office, and would-be glad to have him receive the nomi rjaiion. 'He would make a strong .race, and would add strength to the ticket.. A vote for him would be a vote for progress, and no finer fel­ low is to be found in Davie.' The party would make no mistake in ten­ dering him the nomination at the proper time. - “IF. S. S.? Kappy Birthday Dinner. The editor of The Record, togeth­ er with about two hundred friends and neighbors, helped Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Starrette, of Kappa, in celebra­ ting their 67 and 69th birthdays, last Saturday. Rev. V. R. Stickley, of Barber, was master of ceremo­ nies, and presided over the occa­ sion in a masterful manner. Hon E. L. Gaither, of Mocksville,. spoke for nearly two hours on War Saving Stamps, arid why we should buy them. Several short' talks were made by those present, and Rev. E 0. Coledelivered the opening prayer About 2:30 o’clock, a long ‘ table in the orchard was spread with a boun­ teous repast, and all those present were filled, and more than twelve baskets of fragments remained. We eannot describe the dinner—it is be­ yond the power of our poor pen— but such a feast has seldom been en­ joyed by ye scribe During the dav Mr. and Mrs Starrette receive! many presents and good wisbes ,with the hope that they live - to enjoy many other similar occasions.

The mightiest charity, the noblest and broadest volunteer movement of history. The Red Cross shares no enmities, serves no flag but its own. It is God’s agent, His healing, merciful will—the answer of twenty ever-gentler centuries to red barbarism.- Twelve million orphan children are wandering about Europe—twelve million frightened little boys and terrorized little girls, sent adrift to sob alone and perish in the wastes— to live like swine and die like curs, unless magnificent America ransoms them from death—and worse. How many of your pitying dollars will search the deso- . Iations and save them for Tomorrow’s works ? The Red Cross needs another Hundred Million, to glean : the battle areas for this precious seed before it rots in mind land body—before grief and horror and disease and unre- I strain! irrevocably blight them. One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stifle pesti­ lence, to stamp out hideous fevers, to check an earth-wide wave of tuberculosis, to destroy shuddering filths where- verminous plagues feed and breed and threaten all the uni­ verse. One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build rest- j stations, to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy ; medicines and operating instruments, to re-educate the muti­ lated and. show the blind where Hope still shines. I One Hundred Millions to maintain communication with detention camps, to provide war prisoners with food and decencies, to take messages out and bring letters in, to negotiate comforts and privileges for the captured, ..to buy blankets for them and clothes and books and tobacco: One Hundred Millions for No Man’s Land—for stretchers and ambulances, for anesthesia and bandages and anti­ septics; to train nurses and orderlies, to outfit and transport skilled specialists, to make sure that a dear one shall have a clean, sweet cot and a sweet, clean girl from home beside it. One Hundred Millions to keep the world sound and wholesome, while the armies of Justice hold it safe. I Am the Red Cross HENRY PAYSON DOWST (With acknowledgments to Robert H. Davis, '•author of “I Am the Printing Press.”) I am the Symbol of the pity of God. I burgeon upon the flaunting banner of victory and the drooping guidon of defeat. I am the tokeh of peace in the midst of battle, of gentle­ ness shining through the sombre mists of hate. I am a chevron on the sleeve of mercy, an honor mark set high upon the brow of compassion. I am the color of blood spilled for democracy, the form of Christ’s tree of agony, and my followers, at need, crucify themselves to make men live. I carry the hope of life into the red pits of death, and a'' dying soldier salutes me and smiles as he goes to touch the hand of God Almighty. I stand for the organized love of mankind, the co-ordinat­ ed impulses of young and old to do good, the sacred efficiency of human service. I mark the flag under which are mobilized the forces of industry and finance, of church and school, of capital, of labor,,of genius ;and of sinew. I am Civilization’s Godspeed to those; who defend her; I am the message from home. I am the Symbol of the pity of God. .. I AM THE RED CROSS. - 750 ChiWren Herded In Dirty Dilapidated, BuiWing Typical Red Cross Case An official of a Frentii city that was being filled with gas bombs by the Uermans fovmd himself confronted 1 tvith the’problem of looking after 750 children. He' telegraphed the Amerl- ; can Red Cross In Paris , for. help. Fif­ teen trained workers-were rushed to , the relief of these children. Here is what the Red Cross workers found: Twenty-one tiny babies under one year old and 729 children under eight years. They were herded in an old,' dirty, unfurnished building, with­ out: a suggestion of sanitary conven­ ience.. It was the best and safest the French official could find at such a moment, but. you would not think it fit for a dog.-. Anrt hora-iH -what 'the American Red Cross workers did In two days: They tltbroughly cleaned and transferred to new' buildings outside the city the en­ tire 750 children. Red Cross doctors attended the sick; nurses were secured for the babies. Suitable food was pro­ vided-for all, and they were so classi­ fied'as to provide against the separa­ tion of families; also an .organization for- the permanent care of*:these ch Il- dren, including their education, was started and. has since been put into operation. So much for the 750. But how about the thousands upon thousands of oth­ ers. Right now the Utile children of France are at your doors • crying for- food, .shelter, protection' against Ger- man- brutality and dying asthey' cry." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * « * * * * * * * * * *' * * WHATIS THANWAR?. Consumption Four Times More Deadly Than Bombs and Machine Guns. Pierre Hamp, a French meilhnl au­ thority, estimates that of the 000 people of all ages still living in France 4,000.000 must die of tubercu­ losis. The war \jill have killed about 1,000,000. This means that man wi.li . all of his inventiveness is far less eiii- clent than. Nature as a mum' killer. There have been- over 400000 new cases of consumption in France since the war began. This is why, despite the number of new hospitals, there is still not sufficient space available for tuberculosis cases. The Question of- Pensions. Of course first consideration is ac­ corded to the ever popular wounded men. Therein lies the tragedy of the consumptive soldier, with the now cases coming in daily from the trenches the consumptives are not as helpless as the wounded men. Wlien discharged from the army the severely wounded are allowed a pen­ sion b,v Ihe government. The con­ sumptives. however, receive no allow­ ance unless they can prove that their illness is entirely due to their service in the army. This is not an easy thing to do, and consequently comparatively- few consumptives receive govern­ mental assistance.. Until the American Red Cross began • to extend its aid the plight of most of these men was often pitiful. Wlien discharged from the hospital they are. given certain instructions which would eventually bring them back to health. But conditions are liafd. They are usuaHy unable to earn much and so do not get proper or even sufficient nour­ ishment. Very often they are in no condition to look after themselves, still less to safeguard the health of oth­ ers. To meet this difficulty local com­ mittees have been formed to look after the discharged patients and see that they do not pass on their disease to members of their families. The task is well nigli hopeless. Evrn if proper • living quarters are to be had sanita­ tion and hygiene cannot be taught:, overnight. They sleep in air tight rooms, kiss tlieir babies, drink out of. the same cups and use the same towels as the rest of their families. In spite of these appalling difficul­ ties. however, the rapid spread of the disease must—:slmply must—be check­ ed. Even to attempt this would be an Impossibility without the tremendous facilities and aid of the American Red Cross. No other agency could con­ ceivably face, much less hope to ac­ complish, such a tnsk. Contributed by Jno. Cassel. RED CROSS HABIT The-Unlted States has now been at war for more than a year: But up to the presentc time the Red Cross has made-but Onet national appeal for help —its $100,000,000 drive in the summer of 1917. Now it is about to make an­ other appeal—Its second. And upon the heels of the Third Liberty Loan. For, _ great as are the re­ sponsibilities and the opportunities of the ^institution whose- blazing symbol is recognized*by,-civilized.nations the world over as-a symbol of peace and of comfort, Its expenditures are but a- small fraction of those required for our governmental expense for the con­ duct of the war. Organization of Service: The Red Cross has never permitted itself to- encroach upon >the -functions- Pr the necessities'of the'government; although there are many times when It might justify itself In so doing. In the single important instance of trans­ portation it has refused to burden the army or navy with the carriage of its vast supplies of..stores,..even.,though these were destined-for the-relief and the lives of the soldiers and the sailors themselves. On the contrary; afterit had builded and fully equipped a great By EDWARD HUNGERFORD Of the Vigilante*. dispatching depot on the West Side of New York for the preparement.of its stores for shipment overseas; and-the war department found itself so -press­ ed for warehouse facilities that it was compelled to take the Red Cross plant for army needs Davison and his fel­ lows of- the Red Cross gladly moved out and quickly assembled and builded another dispatching depot for their own'needs. The spirit of the organi­ zation- is that-of service. And I have seen' enough of its workings to con­ vince me that it is something a Uttle more than mere service—perhapsserv- lce plus efficiency would best describe it. It seems to me that the time has come when there should be an even larger national appreciation of the Red Cross: Today it has only begun to :touoh the surface of the American peo­ ple.. Continued fighting and extended- casualty lists will force it far beneath the siln. It cannot be embarrassed for lack of funds. You and I cannot afford, to have it embarrassed, to be compelled to turn any of its energies from the saving of human life to mere' grubbing for cold cash. It is time that America formed a new .habit; We have some big and fairly expensive national tastes al­ ready, movies and motoring, for in­ stance, to say nothing of smoking and drinking. A little reduction on all of these and the proceeds turned to an en­ tirely new habit would be a mighty good thing at this time. And for that fifth habit I am going to propose the Red Cross—the Red Cross habit, if you please. It will be. a habit the gathered money of which will go to the credit, not of yourself, but of the greatest charity that America ever has known, which makes this uew habit more than a habit—a real virtue—the virtue of self sacrifice. Our Country the Richest. Try being ready for the Red Cross collector—not merely the next time he comes, but on each subsequent cail. Do not face him with the reproachful, suggestion that he has seen you be­ fore. Our country is a big land, In many ways the biggest and richest in the world, but it is not big enough nor rich enough that folks with money can escape w ith but a-single invitation; to contribute. That is ivhy I suggest the Red Cross habit—tfie continuous setting aside of definite sums of .money by patriotic Americans against the Red Cross drives. It is a linhit which I .cannot commend too heartily to you. The Story That Private Leach Told “I any, there,” CaYlediPrIvate-Leach, sitting up- weakly,-.I “where--you goin* with me blinkin’ 'at'?” The dog cast a look back across his shoulder, wagged his tall pleasantly and continued to trot away, carrying Private Leach’s cap in his-jaws: “ ’E’s got a bloomin’ cheek, not 'alf I” observed Private Leach, and.lay down again: Whdfdifference- did It make? He had clicked a bullet in his righ thigh, and, what with theloss of blood and .pain and hunger and all, a chap might as well “go west” without a cap as with one. Now that he’d .managed: -to "get a dressing on the wound and a bandage to hold the dressing ,In place, the bleeding was less, but the end of the smashed bone was grinding In.-the torn fleshy It wasn't a bit cushy, out there In- No' Man’s Land, six: hours in a shell hole with a busted leg. The dog had popped up ,from no- where at all, wjth his alert , eyes and sensitive; searching.nose.G ift tight­ ly about his body was the broad white band bearing the flaming sign of the Red Cross: He stood quite still while Private Leach painfully unfastened the .first aid package, froml.hls.back, .and, stilb.more-painfully; applied-the dlsin-- •feetant; gauzel qwds--and-clean-cotton tincture,: Looklrnrupr he- whined 'a friendly, sympathetic whine, and the ^soldier putted him gratefully. \ ; “Good-old chap,” said-Private Leach. “You’ve Iieen knocked about a bit yourself, oh?” Ho touched Ihe dog’s ear-where a recent hurt had left a scarcely healed ,scar. .And then the rascal had seized Prl vate- Leach’s cap and made off with it toward the lines,', paying no serious attention to the wounded man’s re­ monstrances: .“Rum little bloke.1" remarked Pri­ vate Leach and fainted. Private Leach sat on a sunny bench in the small courtyard of the con­ valescent hospital and explained mat­ ters to a compatriot', likewise recover­ ing from the effects of boche courtesy. “And the bloomn’ surgeon, 'e says them dawgs is trained like that The one that found me, ’e don’t mind bul­ lets no more . than ■ buns, ’e don’t ■ a-w’-lzzin’ past - ’is ’’end.

In six months th.e American Red Cross supplied a million French poilus with hot coffee, tea, chocolate, boulllon,- at the time they needed it most—just as they were entering the communica­ tion trenches for a tour of duty under boche fire or coming out, tired and worn, after their grueling vigil. If you were dragging the tiredest pair of feet in France through the mud, and if you were greeted by a cheery voice and a steaming pint of beef tea, wouldn’t it be “a grand and glorious feeliu’? Oh, boy!" Now, this is the work of the “roll­ ing canteen," and some day a Kipling will sing “tlie story of the tanks”— tanks of broth and bouillon that the Red Cross “Special Front Line Serv­ ice” trundles up to the-lines. The Military Sanitary Service supplies the Wagons and utensils. -The Red Cross unit does the work. It supplies these hot drinks at a cost of 50 francs ($10) per thousand men, a cent apiece! Think of that—the penny your little girl sends the Red Cross can buy a big hot cheering drink, a good natured greeting, for a fighting man who des­ perately needs jtis^ that! One penny I Red Cross-Rolling Canteens to the number of 15 are now behind the lines In continuous service. Their crews are exposed to shell fire and often have to put on gas masks. Eugene Hale, brother of United States Senator Hnle. served six months with a rolling canteen In.

When a small boy looks trustingly up to me and I see his world — the world he thinks he is going to have, in his eyes, I am afraid. The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is going to have cuts me to the quick. I have always felt I had an understanding with a small boy before. But the last four years when he looks at me in that old way and I think of his world—the one I see in his eyes—the one I had myself—the one every small boy has a right to, I see suddenly instead the one'that is being left over for him by me, by all of us, the one he will have to try to put up with, have to live in, have to be a man in, when you and I have stopped trying, Then when I face the small boy I want to go off in a wide high place alone and think and ask God. I want to go down into the city and fight—fight with my money and with my hope, go over the top with my religion and then come back and face the small boy. There are days during this struggle when my soul is spent and all the world seems made of iron and glass and all these crowds of people flocking through the streets who do not seem to care. It seems as if I would not turn over my head to save a world to live in myself. . . . It does not matter about me—and some days the people I see go by almost make me think it does not matter about them. . . . Then suddenly I go by troops of school children at lour o’clock pouring out into the streets, . . . pouring like fire, pouring like sunshine out into the streets I It is as the roll of drums for the Liberty Loan I I want to ring great church bells to call people to the Red Cross I My rule for a man's finding out just how much he should subscribe to The Red Cross is this: Put down your name and address on the blank and leave the amount open to think. Then try going past a schoolhouse about four o’clock when the children are pouring out Or in the evening when the house is quiet put down your name and the best figure you dare on the white paper. Then go upstairs a minute and look in the crib. Then look at your blank when you come down once more. THE WAR’S RECOMPENSE The original of this verse was found on an American soldier who bravely fought and as nobly died. The man Is yet unknown. Ye who have faith to look with fearless eye3 Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife, And know that out of death and night shall rise The dawn of ampler life. Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart, That God has given you a priceless dower, To live in these great times and have your part In freedom’s crowning Hour. That ye may tell your sons who see the light High in the heavens—their heritage to take— "I saw the powers of darkness put to flight, • I saw the morning break.” A MESSAGE FROM EDWARD N. HURLEY, Chairman of the United States Shipping Board. EVERY dollar that has been appropriated by the Ameri­ can Red Cross in this war has welded closer that relationship between the United States and the nations of the Entente, a relationship that will have a marked effect upon the peace council that is coming. If this work of spreading the gospel of mercy is to continue, every man, woman and child in this republic must give the American Red Cross his fullest support in its second campaign for $100,000,000. Our boys in Europe are looking to us to back .them up and I know of no better means of supporting them than through the instrumentality of the American Red Cross. The good it has already accomplished and the com­ forts and welfare it will provide later when the stress of war becomes greater for the United States forces, make it imperative that the second fund of $100,000,000 be a \ soontaneous gift on the part of the American people. * * * * * * * * * * aUnto the Least of These” 'M Contributed by Arthur William Brown. ONE WAY THE RED CROSS HAS TAKEN TO DEFEAT THE RAISE’S GAME I ,OOO Ragged, Sick and Homeless People Are Daily Dumped at Evian. At the first onslaught of the Huns, before the French were able to with­ stand their invasion, the Kaiser se­ cured a goodly section of France. With the captured cities and villages he acquired many thousands of French­ men. True to all the rules of Teutonic efficiency, the noble German worked and starved these French close to the point of death, then saw to it that an impressive number of them “caught” tuberculosis and finally sent these poor wrecks back to burden France. It has taken the Kaiser from two to three years to suck the healthy blood from the veins of these sturdy rural French, but now he is sending them back at the rate of about 1,000 a day. The Kaiser never announces these shipments. He simply dumps them In Evian, on the French-Swiss border. If it were not for the American Red Cross the task of caring for these starved, ragged, sick, homeless, ter­ rorized men, women and children would be more than the French govern­ ment could handle. But our American Ited Cross is making heroic efforts to defeat the Kaiser’s aim to fill France with consumptives. Trained Red Cross workers are at the receiving station at Evian. They first separate those showing signs of tuberculosis from those who are only starving or have some other disease. It is just like the tender care of our Red Cross to give particular at­ tention to the babies and children to whom the kindly Kaiser has fed con­ sumptive germs. We have a. hospital of 30 beds for children In Evian. These are reserved for the children who are too ill to take farther. Then our Red Cross has a convalescent hospital out­ side the town and yet another in a nearby village. It also keeps sir am­ bulances busy transporting sick wom­ en and children. Yet even then the strain upon our workers Is so great that for eight long months one Ameri­ can nurse has had to look after 120 beds. We, through our American Red Cross, are doing great things toward' defeating the Kaiser in his efforts to turn France .into a graveyard. Iiut we have just started, and our duty de­ mands that we work fast and without ceasing. ROM AM GONE Efficiency Kills Sentiment as Machine Makes Socks in 25 Minutes. By RUTH DUNBAR. “How snowy white your ,fingers look against the scarlet wool’!'' was the favorite speech of grandfather when he was paying suit to grandmother, who, If history is correct, never al­ lowed Uttle things like love and court­ ship to distract, her mind one minute from her knitting. The modern young mnn is robbed of any opportunity to make these pretty speeches, for the wool is no longer scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the maiden sits before a cold, steel ma­ chine and grinds off socks in as many minutes as it takes hours to knit them. This is what efficiency does to ro­ mance. In the various Red Cross workrooms of the New York County Chapter there are nearly sevent.v-five sock machines. Eight of these are in the model work­ room at 20 EastTliirty-eiglith street iind others that have been ordered are held up by traffic conditions. Here instruc­ tors teach the use of the machine to Red Cross workers. A complete pair of socks can be made on the machine in 25 minutes. The machine looks like a cross between fishing tackle and a pile driver. The worker threads it through thearm and carrier on.to the threader. The body of the machine is a circle of needles bent at the ends like crochet hooks. Sweaters also are made on the sock machine, the strips sewed together and the ribbing at top and bottom knitted on by hand. Besides the machines In the Red Cross workrooms there are many owned by private individuals or groups who work at home and donate the re­ sults to the Red Cross. In a family hotel, for instance, four or five women can club together and buy a machine. “WHAT HOME SERVICE HAS DONE FOR ME” My husband enlisted over a year ago. Shortly after he went away our twelve-year-old boy had the measles. After his recovery his school teacher complained about his conduct At home he was nervous and irritable. When I called at the Red Cross to find out how I could secure an increase in allowance because of our newly bora babe I told them of my trouble with Hurry. On their advice I took him to an oculist, who said glasses were need­ ed immediately because of the weak­ ened condition of the eyes following measles. He no longer causes trouble at borne or at school. T. R. TO GET SHELL THAT HIT HIS SON Captain Roosevelt, Who Was In Hos­ pital, Lauds Red Cross. Capt Archibald Roosevelt, who re­ cently was injured and nursed back to health In a Red Cross hospital, In speaking of the Red Cross work,' is re­ ported as having said: “The Red Cross is doing everything possible for us. I cannot say too much In appreciation of their efforts, which' make us feel as If we were back home. It is a great comfort to us fellows In hospitals, and if our folks could see the way we are being taken care of they would stop worrying." . The Red Cross chaplain In this par­ ticular hospital happens to be Doctor Billings of Groton, Mass., who taught Captain Roosevelt at the Groton school. The Red Cross shopping serv­ ice In the hospital has been commis­ sioned by. Captain Roosevelt to obtain a new uniform for him to replace the one which was torn to pieces when he was wofihded by fragments of a Ger­ man shell. The piece of shrapnel which wound: ed Captnin Roosevelt will be present­ ed to Captain Roosevelt’s father. Col. Theodore RooeevelL NURSES PRETIY Red Cross Hospital Unifoim Most Becoming in His­ tory of World In a recent news letter from the front the war correspondent of the Philadelphia North American helps Io explain the song, “I’m In Love With a Beautiful Nurse.” "There are 62 Bed Cross nurses at this place,” says the dispatch. “They are cheerful, obedient, brave and com­ petent And those who weren’t pretty to begin with became so the moment they donned the uniform that is the most becoming in all the long history of costumes devised for the mystifica­ tion and beguiling of men. “In the officers’ ward was a colonel with bronchitis. ‘I’ve seen them In the Philippines, and I’ve seen them in Chi­ na,’ he told me. ‘I suppose I’ve seen about all the existing types, but I nev­ er yet saw one that wasn’t pretty in­ side of 24 hours.’ “He reminded me of an Irish Tom­ my, who, so his major told me, woke up In a hospital In 1916 and, seeing the nurses In the ward, exclaimed, ‘May the howly Virgin bless us, but the an­ gels have come down to the Somme I' ’’ Hundreds of Red Cross nurses, how­ ever, are doing work abroad In which their looks are less eagerly considered. Finding and caring for war orphaned babies, fighting tuberculosis, re-estab­ lishing homes in shell wrecked villages —these are some of the big tasks of mercy which, thanks to American con­ tributions, the Bed Cross sets for its nurses. There are 13 divisions of the Red Cross In the United States. There is a complete organization at each divi­ sion, WithlU great warehouse for the collection and shinment of all kinds of Red Cross supplies. KIIy Jones By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. BiUy Jones—maybe your Son or the son of a neighbor—was In the front line trenches In France when the Ger­ man bombing party was driven hack. His enthusiasm to get the Boches car­ ried him over the top of the trench, and at the edge of No Man's Land a Hun bullet got him. A comrade—maybe your boy—crawl­ ed out into No Man's Land and brought Billy Jones back to the American trenches. Other comrades carried him hack through the maze of trenches to a dressing station, where his wound was cared for. A medical department ambulance carried him on to the field hospital. From there BlUy Jones was taken to the bnse hospital, and there a Red Cross nurse—your Red Cross nurse— Is tenderly, carefully, smilingly nursing him hack to health again so that he may not have to pay the extreme sac­ rifice tjint we—that you and I and our neighbors—may enjoy the blessings of freedom. There are hnlf a million of these hoys of ours In Frunce today and more going “over there" every week. They are there to wage the supreme conllict of the world with the brutal forces of autocracy that democracy, our heritage, may jot perish. We want these lioys of ours to come back to us, and It is the Red Cross men and women—our Red Cross men and women—who will bring thousands of them back who would not otherwise come if our dollars will hut keep them there to minister to these boys of ours. They are but doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. A SCORE OF REASONS FOR THE RED CROSS It Is Playing a Big Part in the War for Democracy. What does it mean to you to know that your America Red Cross: Is supporting 50,000 French children. Sends supplies to 3,423 French mili­ tary hospitals. Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings. Is operating 30 canteens at the front line. Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 30,000 French soldiers a day. Operates a movable hospital in four units accommodating 1,000 men. Is operating a children's refuge In one part of the war zone, and In another a medical center and traveling dis­ pensary, both capable of accommo­ dating more than 2,000 children. Has opened a long chain of ware­ houses stocked with hospital sup­ plies, food, soldiers' comforts, to­ bacco, blankets, etc., all the way from the seaboard to the Swiss frontier. Has warehouse capacity for 100,000 tons. Has 400 motor cars and operates seven ■ garages, making all repairs. Has shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to Italy from France within two weeks after it began operating In the former coun­ try. Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Plave front four days after - the United States declared war on Austria. • Started a hundred different activities In Italy at the time that nation was In its most critical condition. Has established five hospitals In Eng­ land and operates- a workshop for hospital supplies employing 2,000 women. And that 120.000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris » headquarters of the American Red Cross - from your various chapters scattered throughout the' United States. What does all this mean to yout And I have told you but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done and Is doing. It means that wtthout this ceaseless, heroic work of the American Red Cross, we could never win this war. Without your Red Cross thousands In Rumania would have starved to death. * Without your Red Cross Italy would never have realized that powerful sup­ port of the United States In the hour of need. Without your Red Cross thousands of French soldiers now gallaq£ly fight­ ing for yon at the front would have died of wounds, exposure Bnd lack of food. But now we must all redouble our efforts and sacrifices for our Bed Cross .because—a million mothers’ sons are going to'carry the stars and stripes to ' the. Cripntest victory God has ever irlve'n. to men fighting for honor and lihel-n\ . . v i-'i the iieiu of your Bed Cross vour bov will win. m m m -.VyVt THE DAVIE BECOED; MOOKSVHiJ!, NOBTH CAROLINA t In I;- I *': I Iffiii!

There- is no truer bravery than the bravery of tenderness. Out of the crash of nation against nation arises a Christ-like sympathy, and the insignia of its tenderness is the cross of red. It is the only remaining glow of a Christian hope. It is religion under shell fire. It is a sigh set to the music of sympathetic action. If a man who speaks truth should say to you, “ With the use of five dollars you can save a useful life, alleviate a hundred nights of pain,” you would grant him the money. You would not feel that you had lost, but gained. This is what the Red^Cross says to you: “ Give of your safe and secure substance and I will soothe pain. I will gather up men, heroes who have been shot to the earth, and housing them I will nurse them back to life. For myself I ask no recompense. My reward is my conscience. My applause is restoring man to his family.” Hearing these words and feeling that they are true, would you hesitate to open your purse, whose contents were gathered in times of peace ? The Red Cross appeals to you personally. To you it opens its merciful heart and begs you for assistance. The cutting down of one luxury a day would mean a soothing tenderness on the red fields of France. G eorge W ashington W as N ot M entioned French Orator Seemed to Think Lafayette Was ReallytheFatherofThisCountry, By DR. ESTHER LOVEJOY. Wliat Is the attitude of the French yeople toward the Americana? The French arc a very polite people, and, ;■<> matter what their inmost thoughts ■•jay be, they are not likely to express opinion to an American other than •'■inpHuientiiry. But the children of ” the world are guileless. They can • depended upon Io express In public private opinions of their parents. . ’■e children of France are crazy about iericans in uniform, so we guess ■at their parents feel for us. Tn one occasion. I was passing a pub- .c cthool with another Ited Gross wo- ian physician In uniform and a ‘••ench visiting nurse. The school had •rt been dismissed, and a group of ung boys came trooping out. In- rvtly .we were surrounded, and after second’s parley a young Mlrabeau of twelve years, the spokesmau of be group, stepped, forward, bowed ■i-mally and delivered an address on .-"-.ystte and America, which was ""cttr ted by the applause of his ad- • - ng- compatriots. The American -5 st could not possibly have sereain- ' J->uder In the United States' on the ' cufth of July than It did on that back - r'sjt of a munition town In France. Washington Not Mentioned. There seems to be. some difference f opinion on the relative Importance > -. CTTi-In historic characters connect­ ’d Jriti tT p American Revolution. Lafayete is lnseparately associated In the mind of young France with the United States and all it stands for. George Washington wasn’t mentioned. According to the Juvenile French version, Lafayette saved America. This was the most glorious achieve­ ment In the history.of the world. Sin­ gle handed and alone Lafayette sowed the seeds , of liberty ..In the United States that has spread from the At­ lantic to the Pacific and fired the souls of a hundred million people. When the American colonies were In a death struggle with the Hanoverian monster on the throne of England the Hohen- zollerns and Hessians and Hlndenburg- ers and all. the H’s representing Hell on Earth In that day and generation Lafayette crossed the ocean-on a slow- sailing ship—so slow, so slow for so swift a soul—and saved America. And now, after 140 years, - the hosts-of America, a million strong, are return­ ing that historic visit for the purpose of repaying the debt of gratitude.- To say that the audience followed the speaker would be understating the case. They all seemed- familiar with the speech, and their applause fre­ quently anticipated Its climaxes. Good feeling was ram pant. We shook hands with all the youngsters within reach, and as we turned the corner we looked back, and they gave us a final “Vive l’Amerlque I” SAVIOURS By ANGELA MORGAN Yours is the daring skill to tread The waters of a world at war; Yours is the miracle to shed Where rocking seas of hatred are, ,Courage and comfort, like a star. 4 You cry unto an earth dismayed, And God is thrilling in your tone: “Brothers, the ship 'a not alone; Be not afraid I”v Ye are the Christs of this black hour, The’Great Physician come again, Within your sacred hamS* %e power To heal the race of men.

Briggs. ggerm By JOSEPH C UNCOLN ' Of the Vigilantes. Caleb Bogers was seated at the little desk behind the counter of his “gen­ eral store’.’ at r Bogers' Corpers. His check bookwasopenbeforehim , and he wasr tapping his front teeth with the end of a penholder, and apparently considering ::deeply. . Daniel Griggs, who owns the big .farm half a mile up the road, entered-the store and stood for a moment regarding Its proprietor with an-amused smile. - “Well, Caleb,”., he observed, “you look and. act. more: like a Rockefeller every day you live.- I presume likely you’re figgerln’ whether you’ll invest this month’s: Income In more Standard lie or use It to-buy your wife another diamond collar?”' Hr. Rogers smiled also, but he was serious- enough, a moment later. “Dan,” he said, “I tell you what I was figgerln’. I was figgerln’ whether I hadn’t-better-make- the check I was goln’ -to glve -the- Bed-Cross- folks-a hundred Instead of fifty.” Griggs’ mouth opened- In astonish­ ment .. What About Jlm Griggs? ’ “You give a hundred dollars to the Bed Crossl-Caleb Rogers I” he demand­ ed.’ “You I Are you crazy? Yousar- talnly ain’t worth any more money tbanRsm, and I was calculatin’ to give about ten—not more’n fifteen anyway. The-Bed Cross-Is a mighty fine thing. I know that well enough. But if you’ll tell me why folks no- richer than you and me should give"— Caleb's foot, which had been resting 'over one corner of the desk, came to the floor with a bang. He straighten­ ed, leaned forward and shook his fore­ finger earnestly at his visitor. - “Tell you?” he repeated. “Yes, Dan Griggs, I will tell you. I’ll tell you be­ cause you’ve got a boy, same as I have, up here at the big camp, and It ivon’t be many weeks, or even days, afore they’re both over on t’other side of the big pond flghtin’ the most cussed, cruel, unscrupulous gang of thieves and murderers that ever rigged up In uniforms and killed women and babies for fun. Oh,-of course you'know qll that you’ll say. You know your son has' enlisted- and Is goln’ to war,. to battle, to run his .chance along with the- rest of bein’ killed or wounded or taken-prisoner. You know it, yes, In a general-way you do.: Such things, the woundin’ and all that, happen to other boys every day, but It’s amazin’ how Slow fellers like you and me are to re­ alize-that they’re Just as likely to hap­ pen to that one boy we‘set so much ■store by. T t’s what Fve Just been try- in’; to realize, Dan. Fve been slttlh' here think^n’ It out. “Take my own boy—or take yours, to""fetch it rlght home—take your, Jim. Jim left here and he went off to camp to be trained.. And it was colder than the northeast corner of an Ice chest up In that camp, and he no sobner landed thar than he realized he hadn't got the heavy'- sweater he’d ought to have. Hls-mother would have knit It,, but ’twould hive taken time; and he’d have pretty nigh froze waitin’. So the Red Cross, .gave It to him, along with wrlsters and. a comfort kit. On the way up to camp wherever that, trbop train he was on stopped there was Itea Cross women with hot coffee and sandwiches, a-makln’ him comfortable, doin’ the little kind things you and his inother are Just.longin’ to do this min­ ute, “When Christmas come who saw that the bundles from home got to liim? Who gave him .things—candy and smokes and such—on Its own ac­ count? The Bed Cross, that’s who I And when he had the bad cold and fever who supplied the nurse that did more than anybody else to fight the pneumonla*off? The Red Cross, Dan; nobody else. “And when he’s on the ship goln' across, when he’s marchin' through France on his way to them trenches we read so much about, when at last he’s In those trenches—who’s lookin' out for him every minute of the time? Who’s motherin’ and fatherin’ him, same as you and your wife would give all this wide world to be able to do? Why, the Red Cross, Just the Bed Cross. “And when he goes over the top to get his first real punch at the Kaiser's gang of pirates, suppose he get3 a Tul- Iet through him somewheres. It can Just as likely be him or my- Sam as anybody else's boy, remember that. He’s lyin' out there In No Man’s Land, rind it's night and cold and wet, and he’s In pain, awful pain, and”— Mr. Griggs interrupted, “For mercy sakes, don’t, Caleb!!’ he pleaded. “I can’t bear to think of it.” “Then you ought to. 'Twill do you good to think Just a Uttle. For pretty soon who comes crawlin’ along through the bell fire to him and gives him wa- ter—and morphine, if he needs It—-and binds up his wounds and carries'him back to Uie place where the doctors are? And whose doctors are they that gives him the very best treatment that’s possible, and whose hospital does he go to afterwards, and whose doctors and ,nurses take such good care of him there? Puttin’ It all to­ gether, who makes Jlm Griggs a well man again and makes it possible for his father and mother and sisters to lay eyes on him once more? Nobody on ti\ls earth but the Red Cross. And Godblessitl Isay! What Is Your Son Worth to You? - “And now you wonder why a man no richer than I am Is glvln’ a hundred dollars to a society that's doin’ all that and a million times more fOr my boy. Look here, Dan Griggs. How much is your son worth to you? If you could save his life by’doin’ It wouldn’t you sell --the farm and the stock and your house and the last shirt on your back? Wouldn’t you give him tke last cent you had if he needed It to srv* himself from torture and death? Well, the Red Cross Is doin’ everything humans can do to save him from those things, and It’s warmin’ him and comfortin’ him and keepin’ him well and happy besides. And what It’s* doin’ for him It’s doin’ for every one of the soldiers In the fields or the trainin’ camps, the hospitals—even In the German..pris­ ons. And It needs money—and you grudge glvln’ It” Mr. Griggs shook his head. . “No, I; don’t,” he said! “I guess I can spare a hundred, too—for the boy’s sakd,” YOUR HUNDRED WAR FUND COMMITTEE TELLS HOW IT WAS SPENT. No Part of It, Says John D. Ryan, Went for Any Expenses of the Organization. • John D. Byan, vice chairman of the War Council, recently discussed the disbursements of the first $100,000,000 American Bed Cross fund and spoke of the necessity for further funds. He announced that the week set. apart for the drive is May 20xto 27. "We have collected $105,000,000,” said Mr. Byan. “We have allowed refunds to chapters—as you know, chapters are entitled to' retain 25 per cent, of the collections covered by the chapter. They have not In all cases avaiied themselves of the 25 per cent, but we have allowed $17,006,121 on this account . We Iiavef Appropriated to date $77,721,918 and we have avail­ able for appropriation on March I $10,871,217, with the addition of $3,- 500,000 we know to be perfectly good when called upon. “The appropriations have been made to the different countries as fol­ lows: France; $80,930,103; Belgium, $2,086,131; Italy, $3,588,826; Russia, $1,243,845; Rumania, $2,676,368; Ser- via, $875,180; Great Britain, $1,885,- 750, Including $1,000,000 that was ap­ propriated by the War: Council to the British VVar Relief, and for other for­ eign relief work, $3,576,300. “For relief work for -prisoners' we have expended $343,304, and this work Is only beginning: ■ These appro­ priations have been made to care for the prisoners that we feared might be taken. We also spent for equipment and expenses of Bed Cross personnel, sent abroad $113,800; for army base hospitals In ’ the United' States, $54,- 000; for navy base hospitals In the United States, $82,000; for medical and' hospital work' In • the' Unlted- States, $531,000;'for sanitary service In camps In this country, $403,000; for camp service in the Unlte'd States, $6,451,150, and miscellaneous In. the United States, $1,118,748.

Her Canteen-The Gayest, Brightest Little Room One Ever Saw. NEVER SO PROUD OF ANYTHING IN ALL HER LIFE Just what a Red Cross canteen is how It is outfitted, and the hunared problems the American women l ave to meet In. feeding the French Fng Ilsh and American soldiers is well shown In this letter from an Amcrioan Red Cross worker: We have really a wonderful piuc. It was given to us so rough and plain and ugly. I had a coat of plaster put on the walls, painted a bright blue wainscot three feet high with a sten­ cil of flowers of red, white mid Muft above, white walls and ceiling. d.>o-s and windows outlined with Iiglit erven and stencils of bright colors between the windows of trumpets, and over the five doors delicious little jiaintlngs by Miss Kirkpatrick and Miss Becketr of soldiers and cunteeners In the inosr clever and attractive way. Brightest Little Room. At the end of the room we nave two girls, one American and one Fronen holding French and American flags. We have red and white oilcloth on ilm tables, red glass carafes and rod tut- key window curtains, and always flow* ers on the counters. It Is the gavest. brightest little room you ever saw. However, it only liolds about 120 tner. seated at the tables and it is to bn used as a recreation room and even movies. Our big room is to have a huge kitchen and seats for 1,000 men or over, and will open right on to th.-l platform. It Is to be decorated by an artist from the Beaux Art, as Jhss Beckett has gone and Miss Kirkpat­ rick Is too busy. It will really be a splendid hig place and we can work In comfort instead, of being put In straits as we are now In to feed so many men with only six gas burners In a long row. IVe make the coffee, soup, cocoa, and ragout or sometimes regular Irisii stew mi our stoves and the roasts are cooked for us gratuitously at the bakers'. AU food except coffee, meat, cocoa and sugar is cheap down here. It is the garden district of France. Ail the men are so pleased and grateful and wo get such post cards and thanks. IVo have stewed apples, stewed dates and figs for deserts and I tell you i: keeps us hopping to^ keep things going. Sometimes we run out of meat nn« then we fry eggs for them and fc? love them.

W e have good felt slippers for them, i>vo woolen blankets for each bed, two big stoves and an orderly that wak.-s them for their trains, good shov.ei baths and wash rooms and altogcilier. when tae big room is finished, it will be a model of everything it should be, particrlnrly as our last touch Is a bar­ ber.

Last-August theAmerlcnn Bed Cross issued an order for an automobile to be given to a French hospital for chil­ dren of Toul, near Nancy. A lot of chintzes for. the bedrooms were sent down to brighten them up. n lot of toys for the C^Tdren—French children brought In' >om the war zone, too young to vVp on their gas masks. To­ day ten Jsd' Cross automobiles arc haulin'* to Red Cross hospitals in Fraccs Jrench children whose parents, held In Slavery In Germany, are no"’ being dumped every day at Evian. on the Franco-SwIss border. Fancy our government doing that for French children. Yet It must be done if the French morale behind the lines is to be kept up. These deeds of the American Red Ctosa are just as much a part of our military policy In Krnnce arid Italy as though they were done un­ der articles ot war.

There is no greater heroism than the s| heroism of mercy. • There is no truer I bravery than the bravery of tenderness, •j Out cf the crash of nation against nation §1 arises a Christ-like sympathy, and the |l insignia of its tenderness is the cross of Si red. It is the only remaining glow of a Ghristian hope. Et is religion under shell fire, ft is a sigh set to the music of sympathetic action. If a man vvho speaks truth should say to you, “ With the use «f five dollars you can save a useful life, alleviate a hundred nights of pain,” you would grant him the money. You-would" not feei that you had lost, but gained. . - This is what the Red Cross says to you: “Give of your safe and seeure substance and I will sooth pain. I will gather up men, heroes who have been shot to the earth,and-housing them I will nurse them back to Lie. For myself I ask no recompense. My reward is Diy conscience. My applause is restoring man to his. timily.” Hearing these words and feeling that they are true, would you hesitate to open your purse, whose contents were gathered in times of peace V The Red Cross appeals to you personally.

At. the outbreak of the war many professed their willingness to rise to the demands of the nation if the Germaos were waging a campaign wifbinour country,:bdt to go over there was another matter. TLis arsfiiiuent however, wits based,, up on a lack of knowledge as to LGer- mau strength and intrigue; While it is not probable, still it is DoLim- pussible that these same Ameri­ cans. unless the nation acts as a whole now. may have an opportu­ nity of fighting Germany on our own land. No greater calamity or misfortune could befall the nation. Again we say this is very improba­ ble, but Germany by her superhu­ man strength has surprised the world and upset all calculations. Alter the loss of over two million men, alter fighting for over three years we find her throwing men in to the fray as if they- came from the ground and stiil' has a large re serve. That the situation in Fiance is critical there is nb doubt. Mauy would prefer to believe that it vas not, we are among this class, but what would it profit us as a nation to close our eyes to real facts ami conditions. Colliers Weekly in reviewing the situation and lay­ ing emphasis upon that which is not impossible, says: , No tboughtlul American who has ihe future of his country at heart cau read the. newB from Fiance in these days without a feel jug of the deepest apprehension. The ferocity and power of the Ger­ man attack seem undiminished af ter neaily four years of terrible warfare. The tenacious courage of the Allied troops .and our own spiiukliug of Auiericau soldiers- is beyund all praise. We can only hope and pray that their enduran. ce will witnstaud the present and future onslaughts until the time comes when they can turu and strike back, Colliei’s ha9 expressed the be lief that the ring around Germany will not part even if the AlIieB are divided the French driven beyoLd Paris, and the British forced bacit QU the Channel ports. But it would be folly to pretend that such an event wonld not be a disaster of appalling magnitude. ' We do not- believe it is probable that the Ger mans can accomplish even this much, now or later. But if they should, the people of this country must face the future possibilities without blinking. Ihey must ask themselves what would happen, not merely if the armieB of the Al­ lies should be beaten-but if they should be destroyed or captured^ if France should besnbjugated abd the British forced to retire to their island and depend on their, navy for ilB safety. What would be the^ position ,of the United Statest The calamity is almost unthinkable. The moral and material lorces behind the Al lies are too great, in all human probability, to be destroyed. But in such a crisis as the present one we must be ready to face aDy-emer- gency Tbeallies are bound- to­ gether by an agreement not to con sent to a separate peace, and we me under moral obligation to stand by them to the end. But the writ- t'-u or implied obligations of asnb- jUgiited nation are of no worth ltussia also was a, party to this agreement, and BusBia is now in !•art at least, in alliance with the Central European Powers. We should make no mistake about it. If France were conquered and Eng land crippled, Germany could turn to us, the. richest of all powers. The least to be expected would be u demand tor an indemnity that would-cause the wdtld to’: reflect °u the moderation- of Bismarck wheu he exacted . $1,000,000,000 from France, We .would, not give in without a fight, biit Wb -would need all our strength'>to Atand off' a German navy that, we; may be sure, has greatly increased in num­ bers and power siuce the war com­ menced. And the final battle for human freedom might be !ought within hearing distance of the peo pie of our Atlantic Coast. We repeat that the calamity is almost beyond belief. We discuss the possibility simply to bring home to our readers the fact that the line of intrepid men in France and the sailors who patrol the A t­ lantic lanes or stand on guard in the !N-Orth Sea night and day are protecting the actual physical saf­ ety of this country. They aife guarding our liberty, ocr livesaud our property, and the well being of future generaoions{of Americans. Thepeopleot the TJnited Slates have been generous and eager in their: support of the war. But they have a tendency to regard it as something remote from their own national welfare. Eo good can come from making them down­ hearted, but they should steel their souls with the knowledge that the war is not merely for t-he abstract principles of making the world sate for democracy, but for the pressing and practical necessity of making democracy' secure in - their own land. For it is as certain as anything can be that if Germany overwhelms the Allied armits, this country will never again see tbe' days of peace and plenty that it- has enjoyed in the past. It must stand armed to ihe teeth Jor genr- rations to come, .never knowing when the blow .will be delivered by the enemy of civilization.—States.' ville Sentinel. Are Yoti Taking The War, Ser- - - - - iously. ■- . ,---• Are the people of North Caro . Iina !taking the war . seriously enough? Are they taking the work ot the War-davings Campaign seriously enough? Do they kDow that every bit of needless material they use for their own comfort is taking something away from those who are supplying-the ships, the shells, the cannons, the. aero­ planes, the rifles, the army cloth­ ing aud the machine guns which are needed, aud needed now, to win this war. The thucdcrot the Ger­ man guns on the Western Frout and the victories they have recent­ ly woD should arouse every North Carolinian to the need of instaDt sacrifice. Germany is making a gigantic effort to overwhelm the Allies be­ fore America can get ready aud get there in lull force. The Kaiser knows that if he gives America time to build up a big war machine, he is-lost. The lesson to us is plain. It is that we must hurry. We must deny ourselves every thiLg possible, that the Government shall not lack whdt it needs and must have. Wqshould save, save, save, save, and we should invest every cent we can spare iti Govern­ ment securities. Every man, wo man and child in Vhe country is asked to save $20 aud invest it in War Savings Stamps. Iliose who can do more should do so at once. Delay will cost us thousands of lives of our young men aud may in the end cost us our victory. r v A i !

Dayie county always does her part and is n$ver behind in the procession ‘TV. S. S.” It is said that there are two or three candidates in the field in Davie for Clerk of the Court. The boys are keeping mighty quiet about the matter, j ! «W. S.

A leading citizen of Bavie county was in town one day the past week and of course we asked him how our old friend FranktStroud, editor of The Davie Record, was getting along. And to our surprise bless pattv, he said he never heard of such a man, altho he lived only a few miles from Moeksville. If Mr. Stroud would go over and stay a few days at the Zinzendorf Hotel, he might get to be better known at least around home. ‘ The leading citizen referred to above must be a stranger and a dem­ ocrat Why a leading citizen should be in Yadkinville is beyond our com­ prehension. Should we follow ed­ itor Rutledge’s advice and spend a few days at the. Zinzendorf Hotel we would have to steal the money to pay our bill and then we might be­ come too well known. When igno­ rance is bliss, tis folly to be blistered “W. S. S.” WHY NOT HERE. Lynchburg, Va May 23 —Lynch burg has more than subscribed her apportionment for the Red Cross war fund after three days of cam paigning and has headed for her self imposed cnal of $80,000 Sub­ scriptions up to tonight approximate $50,000 A committee has been named by the local campaign com­ mittee to srutinize subscriptions and . return all that are palpably niggard Iy.

ElcmSON AND FAMILY. & Flashlights From Cooleemee. Superintendent and Mrs. J. S, Stroud are rejoicing over a lovely little daughter which arrived at their home Monday—their firstborn. Those who think our band can’t make music, are mighty ignorant folks, and actually wouldn’t know good music if they met it in the road. TnepeopleofCooleemee are not slothful in well doing. They were the first in the county to go over the top in the big Red Cross drive last week, with several hundred dollars to spare; you can’t keep the working man down Jerusalem township raised $2,019 43. Good! Recorder Goins is preparing to start business right. He has just purchased a new record book in which to write down the faults of all who come before him. H eis to represent Davie in the next legisla­ ture—so lots of folks say. He would make a good one. Dr. Hoyle, the clever proprietor of the Cooleemee Drug Store, is. al ways up-to-date in everything. He has just installed new interior fix­ tures in His handsome fountain, and is prepared to serve all kinds of drinks except those that ineberiate A. J. Ervin, chief of the motion picture show, is getting some good pictures for the Cooleemee folks these days. Ervin is a hustler and can be depended on to keep things moving at the play house. Joe Parker has one of the best looking cows in the town. Joe says he gets a little more than four gal Ions of milk per day. His cow looks like he might get eight. She is not for sale. Editor Sell; of the Journal, has is­ sued a proclamation that winter is over, and has took off the old and put on the new. This means that he has a new palm beach suit. There are some fine war gardens in our town. Of course our good women folks do most of the plant­ ing and hoeing, but the men get most of the credit. Everybody in the town is prosper­ ing and making money these days— even the insurance men are able to get a few square meals, which speaks well for the citizens and the agents. Some folks used to think that Cooleemee wasn’t a part of Davie county. Thesesamefolks are now getting their eyes open, and have come to the conclusion that our town is a great big part of the county and always does her part in everything. AU drug clerks and baseball plav- ers are not handsome folks, said a young lady the other day while gaz ing through the Drug Store window. Don’t know what she meant or who she had reference to Should you come to our town and want to find the “ leading citizens.” do not go to the river where they once spent their time fishing, but look in their garden or hunt up their hog pen.

Meyrick was ac­ cused of having made remarks de­ trimental to the government on sev­ eral occasions and yesterday, when a committee of ladies called on him with the request that he put Red Crosssignsin his windows, he is said to have caught one of them by the wrist and to have handled her quite roughly. It is said that Mey- rick had refused to buy goods from traveling men who wore Red Cross buttons and • had made many re-' marks not calculated to suggest loyalty. He was taken out in front of his store and soundly whipped, made to subscribe to the Red Cross fund and kiss the flag. He was al­ so made to swear that it was a grand «}ld emblem and that he loved to. live under it. The Red Cross signs are in his windows to day. “W. S. S.” News Items From Pino. • Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

Sabscriptions for the Second W ar ReliefFund of ths .American Red Cross in Davie eouhty have perhaps gone $1,500 over the quota for the county, and contributions are still coming in. All townships have gone over the amount apportioned, with the possible exception of Clarksville. Cooleemee has lsa all other districts, the last report showing that $2. 019 44 had been raised. Moeksville follows with a little over $1,500. Farmington is making a splendid showing, and will bring up $700 or more. Dr. Greene, of " Fulton, re­ ports that Fulton brought up their total to $409 on Sunday. Calahaln has gone ‘ over the.top” with $271 It seems that Glarksville has raised only about $150. Someof thelead ing men and women of that town­ ship say they'will try to bring this up to at least $200. It should also be stated that Clarksville people have contributed in Iredell county and to Farmiggton, and should have credit as soon as the amounts are ascer­ tained. County Commissioner Boyles reports that every family in his sec­ tion, and all except six in West Sha dy Grove, had cheerfully contribut­ ed. He reports $183Trom the Bixliy section. We feel sure t**aC when other parts of Shady Gruive are heard from the total will be near $500. The colored people of Moeksville have collected $45. From these re ports it sf-ems that the total for the county will reach $5.b00 or more. There a re' reported to be many people in Davie who desire to make a contribution to the fund and who have not been called upon. Thev are all invited and urged to see some member of the township committee or the treasurer and subset ibe; Any amount will be received. “W. S.

The deceased was born in Davie county near Advance on October 23, 1885, and at his death his age was 82 years.' six months and twenty seven days. He served thru the Civili War, as a lieutenant in the 42nd regiment. His early youth was spent on the farm, but after he had completed his education he taught school for a number of years. In 1887 he engag­ ed in the tobacco business in Win­ ston-Salem and in 1889 he moved his family from Davie county to this city, where they have resided since During his residence here he was for four years deputy collector of internal revenue, and from 1896 to 1900 was assistant postmaster, un der the late Phillip Lybrook.

Washington.—General pay increases for nearly two million railroad em­ ployes were announced by Director General McAdOo, effective next Sat­ urday and retroactive to last January I, carrying out substantially recom­ mendations of the roadroad wage com­ mission. The aggregate of the in­ creases probably will be more than $300,000,000 a year, half of which will be distributed within a few weeks as back pay in lump sums ranging from about $100 to nearly $200 each. The director general departed from the wage commissioner’s recommen­ dations in the following particulars: The principle of the basic eight- hour day is recognized, but owing to exigencies of the war situation, hours om employment are not actually re­ duced and overtime is to be pair pro rata; future adjustments of pay are to be made on the basis of eight hours. In addition to the ordinary scale of increase, day laborers employed mainly on track work are to get at least 2 1-2 cents an hour more than they received last December 31. ■ Women are to receive the same pay as men for the same work and negroes are to get the name as white men for similar employment. To work out a multitude of inequal­ ities and other injustices caused by varying rules of employment and condition of organization, the direc­ tor general created a new board of railroad wage and working conditions consisting of three railway executives which will conduct extensive investi­ gation and recommend wage and other employment changes. AU increases now orderd will be determined according to a percentage scale based on pay received in Decem­ ber, 1915, and any incrases which have been allowed within, that time will be deducted. In many cases the raises in pay in the last two and a half years are about equal to * the ■increases now- approved' and' conse­ quently these employes will get little or no more. To correct just such situ­ ations when injustices are apparent will be one of the principal duties of th new wage board, whose creation was suggested by the railroad wake commmission. In no cases are wages to be reduced. Men working on the . monthly, daily, hourly, piece work and train mile basis will benefit by the new allowances. LOST ALL IDE? HAD Sailors and Soldiers Alike Showed No Panic; Fell Into Line; and Awaited Orders. The British mercantile cruiser Mol­ davia, carrying American troops from America to Europe, has been torpe­ doed, and 56 American soldiers are reported missing. The liner was sunk Thursday morning, according to an official statement by the British ad­ miralty. The Moldavia is the third tfransport carrying American troops to be tor­ pedoed by the Germans. Of the ves­ sels carrying Americans, the Antilles was the first to meet with destruction by a U-boat. She was sunk October 17, last, when returning to this country from Europe, and 70 lives were lost. The second was the Tuscania, which was sent to the bottom off the north of Ireland February 5, with a loss of life totalling 101. The only other secrious attack made on American transports occurred last June when vessels carrying some • of the first expeditonary units under a convoy commanded by Rear Adiniral Gleaves, narrowly escaped disaster in the mid-Atlantic. David Lloyd George, speaking at Edinburgh, has said that the subma­ rine is still unconquered, but that it is no longer a vital menace to the entente allies. He said that the U- boats are being destroyed faster than RED CROSS GOES BEYOND GOAL BY TWELVE MILLION UNLIMITED POWER TO PRESI­ DENT TO INCRliivSE ARMY TO SIZE HE-SEES FIT.

Law Touching Habitual Idlers and Non-Useful Workers. Washington.—Two important steps were taken toward perfecting the task of putting the nation on a war basis. Soon after Frovost Marshal Gen­ eral Crowder had promulgated a. drastic amendment - to the selective service regulations requiring . every man of draft age to work or fight, Secretary Baker, appeared before the house military committee and asked that President Wilson be authorized to call to the colors all men of draft age who can be equipped and trained. The committee promptly and unani­ mously voted the authority into the army appropriation bill about to be reported to the house. Under existing law power is given to draft one million fighting men, in addition to special units. This limit soon will be reached with men con­ stantly going into camp .to replace those sailing for France as fast as ships can be provided.to take them. General Crowder’s new regulation is far-reaching in scope and touches not only habitual idlers, but also re­ quires that draft registrants now in occupations held. to be non-useful seek new jobs or take their places in the army. Clerks in . stores, waiters, bartenders, employes at places of they can be built by Germany, while I amusement, passenger elevator men the allies are building ships faster than the submarines are sinking them. Washington.—Sinking of the British armed merchant cruiser Moldavia, and other employes around hotels, clubs and business buildings as well as gamblers, fortune tellers and race track and bucket shop attendants all fall among those classed as non-use- with a probable loss of 56 American ! fuuJ engaged. Enforcement of the ' - - I m ila 4« A vnanta^ fn AiRJ BnmA VHAW Ta Washington.—With the American Red Cross’ second $100,009,000 war mercy fund already over-subscribed by $12,097,304, officials wepe setting no limit to the outpouring of dollars on the closing day of the week’s drive. That that daily average of something more than $18,000,000 would be far exceeded they had no doubt. On the face of returns at headquar­ ters here 11 of the .14 divisions had oversubscribed, with the gulf leading the home divisions in percentage with 210, but the foreign topping them all with 300. The three divisions which had not attained their quotas were expected to go over the top. The Potomac division shows $4,200,- 290 and the southern division $3,701,- ICO. Greater New York lacks $1,399,66 of equallying its quota. Philadelphia, with an allotment of $4,500,000, has given $5,500,000, nearly four times its minimum. Pittsburgh has attain­ ed only 56 per cent of its $4,000,000, while Chicago has turned in only 47 per cent of its $7i000,000. Boston is another of'the larger cities behind in the campaign. CHARGED WITH SELLING SPOILED MEAT TO ARMY Washington:—Sale of spoiled meat and other food products to the army with the knowledge that the food was "unfit for human consumption,” is charged in complaints issued by the federal trade commission against Mor­ ris & Co., and Swift & Co., two of the five great packing companies. It is alleged that th- rnsands of pounds of unfit meat and chickens were sold to Camp Travis, Texas. Most of it was detected and condemned. STEAMER CLAN MATHESON SUNK IN A COLLISION rule is expected to add some men to the army and to do a more important service in improving' the labor situa­ tion in essential industries. The house military committee’s .ac­ tion after hearing Secretary Baker completed the army bill, with provi­ sion for the pay of 3,000,000 men and with ordnance appropriations on the. 'basis of- an army of 4,000,000. Thd measure will be laid before the house carrying a total of $9,569,129,000 of actual appropriations, and authoriza­ tion for contracts amounting to 464,416,000 more May Mean Five Millions. Mr. Baker told the committee in executive session the President’s rea­ sons for asking that no limit be placed upon the number of draft men to be called . Members said later it was estimated that an army of 5,000,- 000 cotild be raised without changing the draft ages. The new regulation also will af­ fect the following classes: “(a) Persons engaged in the serv­ ing of food and drink, or either, In public places including hotels and so- cial clubs. “(b) Passeng*r elevator operators The declaration of war by Costa and attendants, doormen, footmen Rica on the central powers brings the and other attendants of clubs, hotels, total number of nations aligned' store's, apartment .houses, office build- against Germany up to 21.

No details were given, but the understanding is that the ship was moving between Eng­ land and France. ’ The war department authorized this statement: “Information has been received from London'that the 'British armed merchant cruiser Moldavia has been sunk and 56 of the American soldiers aboard are missing. “The announcement was made by the British admiralty.’ At a late hour the department had no further information to indicate what American units were on board the vessel. Many men are in train­ ing in England and it is possible that the Moldavia was carrying a contin­ gent bound for the front. THE GOVERNMENT OF COSTA RICA WILL WAR ON GERMANY San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.—The government of Costa Rica has declar­ ed war on- the central powers, accord­ ing to advices received here. clearly defined their attitude toward the war. Panama, Nicaragua and Gua­ temala have become belligerents. Honduras has severed diplomatic re­ lations with Germany while San Sal­ vador has remained neutral, explain­ ing that this neutrality is friendly to the United States. ' The government of Costa Rica1 headed by President Tinoco, has never been recognized by the United States, It came into power after the deposi­ tion of President Gonzales, in Janu­ ary, 1917. In an effort to obtain recognition, the Costa Rican govern­ ment sent an envoy to Washington, last July, but was not received at the state department. Major E. J. Hale of Fayetteville, N. C., is American minister to Costa Rica. CONTRACTS ARE LET FOR TWO PICRIC ACID PLANTt Washington.—The war department announced that contracts had been let by the ordnance department for the establishment of two picric acid plants, one to cost $7,000,000 and be located at Brunswick, Ga., and the other to cost $4,000,000 to be located at Uttle Rock, Ark. Contracts for the plants have'been, let. Sites were chosen in the .south, the statement says, after - careful investigation - of housing, labor and transportation.

The fact that he is not usefully employed will out­ weigh both of the above conditions.” PLEA OF COUNT MINOTTO DENIED BY FEDERAL JUDGE Chicago.—The plea of Count James Minotto for freedom on a writ of hab­ eas corpus. from internment on Presidential warrant was' denied' by Federal Judge Carpenter. The judge withheld reading of the decision to al­ low the count to pass a night with his wife, Countess Ida May Swift Mln- otto, daughter of Louis F. Swift. The count’s counsel bad admitted the gov­ ernment attorney’s disclosure that the count’s father was born in Vienna. LYNCHBURG TO RETURN NIGGARDLY SUBSCRIPTIONS Lynchburg, Va.—Lynchburg has more than subscribed her apportion­ ment for the Red Cross war fund after three days- of campaigning and has headed for her self-impoBed goal of $80,000. . Subscriptions approximate $50,000. A committee has been named by the local campaign committee to scrutinize subscriptions and return all that are. palpably niggardly. Citizens have v offered to reimburse the fund tor all monies thus returned Redistribution of German Troops Along Entire Front Is Reported By French Officers. yin the past years of the war a pe­ riod of extraordinary activity by the aerial squadrons of the- contending armies In France has been considered as an indication that events were rapidly shaping themselves for an of­ fensive by one side or the other. At the present moment the most notable feature of the war situation is the re­ markable work of airmen in various sectors where a German attack is looked for. This activity ha3 not been restricted to the actual battle area, but far back of each front there have been daring raids. The Rhine cities are being frequently bombed, while Paris has again been in danger of a new German attack from the air. American aviators have borne a prominent part in this fighting. In the Luneville and Toul sectors they have given a magnificent account of themselves, while further north, and even in the defense of London they have demonstrated their fighting ca­pacity. German Plans Hindered. The German plans for a resumption of the offensive In France have been seriously hampered by the sudden blows of allies-here and there along the front. The Germans have been forced back at numerous points and new lines which may be more easily defended have been established by the allied nations. The Americans on their own sectors have given the enemy no rest. The artillery has battered the German lines night and day, while the infan­ trymen have raided German outpost positions and have proved themselves capable of outwitting and outfighting OVER THE U N D OF JTHELONjHEAFPIfJE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS YQlIR StGK CHIlD 1$ CONSTIPATED!

Mr. Duke had turned to Carol, his keen eyes searching her face,; but Carol sank In the big chair arid turned her face a^ay from, him against'the leathier cushion. “Connie,” ' she .! sai^, “of . course no girl would' propose, no . girl. w'pnld wantto—I. was.qnly, joking—” j Mr. Duke laughed 'openly then.

Connie stepped to the doorway, then paused and looked back at them.' Sud­ den. illumination came to her as she scanned their faces, the man’s dear- cut, determined, eager—carol’s shy and scared alnd—hopeful. She turned quick­ly back toward her sister, pain darken­ ing her eyes. Carol was the last of all the girls—It would leave iier alone —and he was too old for her. Her lips quivered a little, -and her face shad­ owed more darkly. But they did not see it.' The'man’s'eye's. were iritentf on Carol’s lovely features,'and Carol was studying'her slender.- fingers., -Connie drew.’aUong’ breath.iand lookedl down upon her sister with a great protecting tenderness In her heart. She wanted to cafch her up In her strong young arms and carry, her wildly out of the room—away froin the man . wlio sat there—waiting for her—r Carol lifted her face at that moment, and' turned slowly toward Mr. Duke. Cbnnie saw her eyes* They were lumi­ nous.,. Connie’s tense figure relaxed then, and 'She;tnrned at once toward the. door. “I am going,” she said In a low voice. But she looked back again be­ fore . she' closed the door after her. “Carol,” she said In a whispes, “you— you're a' . darling.. I—rve always thought so.” .Carol did not hear' her—she did not hear the door dosing behind her—she had forgotten Connie, was there. Mr. Duke' stood up and walked quickly across the room and Carol rose to meet him. He put his arms sibout her, strongly, without hesitating.“Carol,” he said, “my little song­bird”—and he' laughed; but very ten­ derly, “would you like to know how to make me say what you'know I want to say?”* .'VtFr-I-" she U begin-’’ treinul'ously, claspirig hei- Mndslagainstther fcreaSt, .and IoqkJjjg1-Itvfentlyv, as .VC fasQlnated, at* Ills square, firm chin so very near !ber 'eyes. !

To* night—” "Tonight,” she said sweetly, turning In' his. arms so that her face was toward him again, “tonight—” She lifted her arms, and put them softly about his neck, the laces falling back and showing her pink, dimpled elbows.- “Tonight, my. dearest—” She lifted her lips to him, smiling.THE END. DRIVING RIVETS SLOW WORK Not Only That, but Enormous. Number of Them Are Needed In a Steel Ship. / The largest single item In' the labor of fabricating a steel ship is'in the riveting of her hull; therefore -. tils' driving of rivets is taken as a standard of size and.of .progress by most of the shipbuilders. To ’ build a 10,000 ton ship a week nieans the driving of about 650,000 rivets In that time. The Union shipyards of San Francisco, as at present equipped and freed from la­bor troubles, ‘ can drive about 300.000 rivets,^ although In a record week it dro.ve1 411,000 rivets; the fouV nest largest yards in America—at Pore Rlv- er, 'Mass., .nt, Newport News, Va.. at Camden, and at Philadelphia upon' the Delaware—can drive 200,000 to 275,000 rivets a week each. A half • dozen smaller steel shipyards will drive from 50,000 to 150,000 each seven days. ■■ Riveting, despite all the inventions devised to. speed it up,' remains hand work and slow work. A riveting'garig consists of two men and two boys— the riveter, lils “holder-on,” the passer boy and the heater boy. The gang drives from 300 to 375 rivets In the course of a ten-hour day and is tired at the end of it. But when you know that it takes four men all of a working day to drive an average of a little less than 350 .rivets, you can begin to see, the full size of the. labor problem of driving at least 650,000 rivets a week necessary to turn out ,a • 10,000-ton ship at the end of that length of tlmei In other words, you need 1,200 men for the xiyetihg gangs al.one. Look at the matter from another an> gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har- per’s., Ten ships a week—the tremen­dous program for 1918 to’which we stand committed—means 6,500,000 riv­ ets a week. And the rivet capacity of our five greatest yards—with a total working force of 50,000 men at the end of 1917—was but 1,850,000 rivets' a week. And riveting represents only about 20 per cent In the construction of a ship. : Making Llfo Worth While.

Since the war broke out my boys, five and eight years of age, have douo nothing but talk or play war. One day with four other little fellows they de­ cided to play war, insisting that my youngster boy be on the German side. After much arguing and crying and- yet afraid of breaking up the game he finally decided to be a German. Each side took their place, supposedly be­ hind the trenches. When the call came to fire the little fellow turned and fired at one of his men. The older one on seeing this yelled: “You can’t down one of your own men," when de­ fiantly he replied: “Aw, I’ve turned traitor; I’m an American.”—Exchange. TH E DAVIE RECORD, M OCKSVILLE, N. Cf.

C.—1"Tell It to the marines." “That’s all the comfort superstitious negroes got when they whispered, to white scoffers, of buried pirate treas­ ure on a little island near here. But that was years and years ago, long before Dnited States marines es­ tablished their recruit depot at Paris Island for the training of navy soldiers for duties on land, at sea and in- the air. The negroes had it that Jean Lafitte, the swashbuckling pirate of the Mexi­ can gulf, had buried a treasure chest near Paris Island. And so they told their children and their children told the United States marines when they established a recruit depot at Paris Island in 1914. Why Not, Indeed! In these days of intensive training for troops, trenches must be dug in or­ der to truly simulate west front con­ ditions. Well, then, why not dig the trenches somewhere near the spot negro tradi­ tion said the pirate treasure lay? Not that the marines had any idea there was treasure there. Oh, no! You can tell marines a whole lot of things but to get them to believe Giem is another matter. World travelers that they are, they are sophisticated, if not blase. Still, digging away over the site of the buried treasure would add a new zest to the task—would get the trenches completed in. jig time, and would prove to the darkies that the whole thing was a myth. \ Now then, here’s the spot our story begins to differentiate from the “Ed- Pen Extractor.

Thousands of men, many'of them among the most noted in the coun­ try—if they will1 tell the tru th - wili give credit to their little home paper lor their success in life - making uieu of them. Undoubtedly there are more fa mous men in the couutry today who are -‘newspaper-made” men than there are self-made men, and these men realize the fact even more than the unsuspecting editor who is ever willing to throw his news columns open to “ anything about be home people.” In every oommuuity there are from one to a dozen men, as every editor knows if he will stop to think, who are regular visitors to his sanctum. W hetherthey inci­ dentally tell something about them­ selves or hot. PU eftch of these reg- ular visits makes no difference— but they will find occasion often enough, in tbejr own estimation, to spread the f-pews” pafjiouflage to Obtain the very results they de„ sire. While such a practice is more in evidence in ihe. larger cities; it is conducted as systematically in the smaller towng, and possibly with a greater.degree of success. The editor who .will scan the list of his eaupty and state officials, his towusnieu, in fact, will find that lie has been responsible to a very marked degree for the mau— or woman—attaining the popular ity that has placed them in office, has aided in making their bosiuegs oetter than it would be otherwise, has-caused them to be citizens who are looked up to aud sought out lor counsel on matters of the great­ est importance. Strange, bur, true, In many in stances, Ihisclass of people with one selfish idea iu mind, aids the editor less than those who are not seeking such yiijuable publicity as ne is able to give.them. While some may deduce.that it would be drawing a very close tine, the opinion has been ex pi eas­ ed. in connection with a charge for all kinds ot “ free” Bdvertjsjpgj or so called publicity, that the boosting of private individuals likewise should be charged for' at regular or even double rates.—Es.
