Fairbrother Scores Divorce Pro* ceedings. In looking over the court calen dar each term it is a matter of re gret that Guilford Countyr piakes too many applications for divorce. And in each case there is always a new setting. Infidelity is often incidentally charge, but it appears to be. for other, reasons that most divorces are sought. - There is talk, and we have talked it, that there should be a national divorce law; that there Bhonld- be certain dead lines aiid it a man or woman went beyond a divorce would naturally follow. However, it is perhaps hard to see why a divorce law that wonld apply to one con dition should apply to another. They have degrees of murder and there shonld be degrees of neglect and conditions shouldsalways guide the conrt or the jury if deciding whether or not a seperation would be a good thing for society, for the community, for those vitally and directly interested. If a man comes in and aBks for a divorce from his wife on the grounds ol infidelity, and he can prove it, naturally enough he Bhould have a divorce, and the Good Book says he should have it. But for a woman to come into court and ask for a divorce when there are child ren in the family—little tots who are entitled to the protection oi both father and mother, and her charge is that the husband does not support her; or that he is a drunkard; or that he now and then in a sportive glee tosses a cuspidore or a coffee-pot at her head—she should not be granted a divorce. And she . shonld know before she marries the beaBt that she conldn’t get a divorce, and il both of them new that they were yoked for life life unless there was some real reason, you would’t see so many divorces dreamed about. It has gotten to be that a jealous woman imagines her husband is Hirtiiig with a whole regiment of pretty girls—merely a dream nursed into an actualiy so far as she is concerned, and feeling that way about it she proceeds to make herself so diabolically entertain ing that the husband may, and with justification, break a few pieces of furniture and do a little cussing iu the loud pedal. The mere tact that because the hus band hasn’t been, all the woman expected him to.be. because he tailed to measure up to the ideal she dreamed she saw when he was just across the jdrng-store table making pretty dabs at the vanilla ice cream and who was looking at with eyes of wondrous blue and trying to discern why heaven had sent her such a man, is no reason why she should undertake to re form him or have made him over. Shecango to the hand-me-down clothier, and if the tronser-loons are to short in the limb9 or it the coat needs a little-lengthening here ora little shortening there, the President of the Bressing Club will see that it is done but the hubby is j ust so—and no furnisher can change the cut of the jib as de signed by the Creator. It is up to Iier to Btudy the weak spots; to see where he is deficient and make due allowance remembering be- timerthat' she is not- the same darling peach she looked to be in the happy courting dayB—the days —the days when she Powdered her lily-white face and spent steen hours fixing her golden hair. She must not forget that in those wooing days; those 9un kissed and balmy days of June it always took an hour to “fix up” in order to look'her best before she ajjiglpa^tt in the parlor to! exclaim:!, (‘My dear George’’—anjd there is a whole {•!... lot of difference iq her appearance when she gets np. in mo^nin^riu these latter days after romance, iS ended and slips herself into a$bld cast-off dress; doeB not , take tiaae to comb her frazzled hair and goes down stairs to spank one of the children who has upset the coffe- pot just about as breakfast was ready to be announced.

So they quarrel and finally the first thing that pops into the head of maddest one of the twain is the of the perishable vegetables. Ten million did we say. Ten billion, we mean. From all over the coun try come reports of trainloads of perishable vegetables being thrown away because of lack pf canning facilities, The people nobly re sponded to the call to plaut food stuffs, i ut alter ^he people had I ,. done their part they found no waydivorce court—and then all the t . , - . , ,, .. . . to take care of billions of poundsnOTTAn AMiT m nliAn tU a t Aml aakihr ’hatred and malice that evil genius ever dreamed is conjured up and retailed to the crowd that always goes to see this kind of soiled linen laundred in public. However, perhaps as long as the “ heart has passions, and as long as life has woes” you will see some fellow drive in 'the court room and ask the judge to unharness him. And along will come Jthe woman her tale of woe and insist that she be separated from the beast in pants whom she once loved and for whom she has lost all regard. And Society, that masked and double- faced old fraud, saj s it is better so and the divorce granted because laws are writteu govering such cases.—Everything. A Girl Worth While We recently heard of a girl who come home from college and the first day she canned peaches under the snpervison of her mother the secoLd day she made her bjother some trowsers and made the sew ing machine hum the third day she made a loaf of bread underAhe direction of her mother and rhe other days lollowiug was doing different things in the home that are worth while. We would not give one such girl for 10,000 of the so-called expert trained girls in domestic science and arts who when she reaches home lets her mother can fruit and do the work while she with her expert knowledge loungesaiound reads silly books, looks wise aud even to proud to be seen in the kitchen.—Catawba County News.

This paper has cailed attention to this very fact; the people of North Carolina got a move on themselves early last spring and they kept up the pace throughout the spring and summer, They have raised vegetables iu enormous quan tities but new they cannot take care of all of them. The state or national government should have bought a few million or. billion cans and distributed them among the people, but it has rot been done and now hundreds of perfect ly good beans, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are rotting. There has been a great deal of inefficiency but it hasn’t been with the farmers, They have done their whole duty. —Burke County Times. Where Are The Shooters And Bell Ringers.

The End is Near. Burke County Times. . As we see it, the end of the war is near. Germany can’t hold out much longer. According to re ports, most of her soldiers have been killed and captured, and the re6t are starving. Besides, their ammunition is getting scarce. No country can fight—it matters not how mean or how good it is—with out men, ammunition and some thing to eat. We tried that- once. Thatis one reason. Another reason is, the Pope has decided to use his influence to stop it. A n d h eh asitin all nations, even in thin country. Anyway, they are not laughing his proposal to scorn Jike they did that of old Kaiser. Our main reason is, the world will soon be influenced to join the allies against Germany. When it does, then Germany will surrender, and by it, win an im mortal name as a war power. It will go down in . history that it took the world to conpuer hex and leave the world, and especially the Russian, French and English part of it with nothing to boast of, noth ing to be proud of, and nothing for fu ure generations to envy.

This report is authentic and official irom the secretary of the navy, Joseph us Daniels. It wasstated repeatedly that the German “U-boats” had in vain attacked oar transports which sunk two of the enemy boats near France This lie is now challenged as un true by Secretary Dauiels. who says there was no attack on ves sels and that no German boats were seen. So here is one lie ex posed and there are hundreds ol other romances without any truth. The war news from England and France eontradicts the statements issued from Berlin and both sides are victorious in every battle.

To Oiir Farmer Friends, Ithas been suggested to us to write a letter to each farmer in Davie county and adjoining counties to increase their wheat crop one third. . While North C. made nearly 10 million, bushels this year, it is sug gested that we raise it to thirteen millions next year and to do this our farmers will have to get- busy. Re member the Government has guarn teed a minium price of $2 00 per bushel for next year’s • crop in case the war is still on there will be a good demand for wheat in case peace is declared, W ewantto ask you to carry out the above through our county papers.

TH,S MAtHlWE ONLY COST 50 GENTS EACH. the pi The Truth. German soldieis have no doubt dope monstrous things but they have be.eu done for the most part by order of their superior officers. ‘•Tlieres not to make reply, theres but to do and die.” That, sentiment was written by a British er aud has been acopted tiie world over as a line epresrion of a gloi i ' ous principal. The soIdiers have merely obeyed their officers, and that is what soldiers in all lands are really taught to do. Ourown soldiers are epeeted to do as much when they go to France. It is the rule of war.— Church Record. The .War Situation. Charity and Children. Prophets of evil continue to warn us that we are iu for a four or five and some say a thirty year - smug gle. They might as well make it a thousand years and be done with it. Of course nobody knows how long the war will last and one man’s opiuiou CD the subject is a- bout as good as another, but the indications are that the year 1918 will bring the bloody business to an end. Gov. Bickett continues to insist that the fall of 1918 will wind It- up with victory for the al lies. This much is certainly true; every nation that is engaged as well as those still neutral, are heartily tired of it, and when ev erybody is tired of a thing it stands to reason that it cannot stand very long. Germany has lost her jubi lant spirit. The Kaiser led his people to believe that the Lord had called them to conquer the world, and the people have discovered that the Kaiser was mistaken. Their hopes are shattered and the glow of their enthusiasm is gone. The allied forces may not be. able to break the Hindenburg line but they have broken the heart of - the German people, and the folly of prolonging the useless suffering and bloodshed will become so plain that the devoted followers of Wil liam will cry enough. Everybody, including the Germans, outside of an inHane asjlum, knows that Ger many cannot possibly gain any thing by this war and the longer it lasts the more it will lose. This is our reason tor believing that the wretched butchery will come to an end sometime next year. A mill ion American troops on the soil of France will hasten the end. The Kaiserstill boasts that we cannot land our forces on French soil, but we will show him and his iufatu- ated people that we can do any thing we want to do for we aie the most efficient people on the taceof the earth. The landing of Pershing’s soldiers iu France with out the IosB of a man or an animal was a marvelous achievement. We can put a million or ten million men iu Frauce as easily as we put Pershing’s boys across. The ten dency to resist the draft here at home is somewhat alarming, but we do not-belive this movement will assume large proportions.Wild fauatics like Tom Watson are re sponsible for the sulleu determina tion on the part of certain of our people to duly the law, but men of ihe Wateon stripe do not.have large influence.. The great body of I hose who are drafted will march right up to the line of duty and iespoud to the call of the country. Eugiaud is hoggish auil may be stuliborn when peace terms are proposed, but England must not lie allowed to dominate the situa tion. She must- listen to reason.

The town of Mocksville was thrown into a fever of excitement Sunday afternoon when word came that Gaitber Campbell, a revenue officer, had been shot and mortally wound ed by a negro, James Belk, at Poplar Springs campground. A negro campmeeting was in progress, and Mr. Campbell had gone up to in vestigate in regard to some liquor that it was reported would be on hand. About l:30o’clock, while out in the woods he ran up with four negroes who were gambling. One of the negroes had a pistol and Mr. Campbell'asked him to, give up h's gun. Instead of doing this, the negro Belk jumped up and fired a number of shots at Campbell, four of which took effect. The negroes then ran. Mr. Campbell was put in an auto and hurried to Long’s Sani- torium at Statesville where he was operated on at once. He stood the operation well, and it is believed Ihat he will recover. Sheriff Winecoff and others hurried to the scene of the shooting, and, two blood hounds were secured and put on the trail of the negroes, but it seetns that they have made good their escape, as no trace has been found of them up to this time. It is said that Belk shot a negro last winter and had not been apprehended for that shooting, he having been in hiding since the occurence. It is said that a negro named Dalton also fired on Mr. Campbell. It is hoped that the guilty parties will be caught and that justice will be neted out to them. It is said that the negro Belk who shot Mr. Campbell received two wounds, one in the arm and one in the shoulder. It was reported Mon day evening that Belk was captured, but the report was false. Vacant Scholarships. Davie county has one free agri cultural scholarships and one free engineering scholaaships vacant at thg North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering. The value of a, scholarship is $45.00 per year and it continues as long as the holder remains in college. This is a valuable opportunity for some ambi tious boy or boys in Davie county. Technical education makes a strong appeal to capable and ambitious young men, especially in these times when production of every kind falls short of demand and prices are high- than ever before. E.

EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEE. Are you a Red Cross Worker?If not wby not? The Bible says: “Whoso beholdeth his brother in need and shutteh up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in hini? The ccmraeucal Appeal" prints the following true story: Some weelisagoafrailladfrom Hnff man, Arfc, was being treated for tuber culosis at a local hospital^-Miss Lilian Byrd, an earnest Red Cross member, who has enrolled others and is knittin articles for the navy service, became interested in the boy during her visits to the • ward and told him of the Red Cross. The story must have sunk deep into the big, sympathetic heart of this little cripple, for whom the future offers no life of ease and plenty, nor perfect health. Miss Byrd received a letter from him last week in which he stated that the bfgh water had washed their first crop away and the. second gave evidence of being (lestroyed by the drouth, but that he wanted to offer to Red Cross his little hen and her chickens. Can you match such a sacrifice,-promoted by a generous impulse? This little scldier—for he is putting up a hard fight with the foe which so often wirs similar battles—is proud to know that he has been enrolled a member of the Memphis chapter. It is sincerly hop ed that his bravery and courage will win a long, useful career for him and he will have made the world better for his example of unselfishness. Every one can have a part in this ex tensive nation-wide organisation; can contribute some service however small. It is the altar upon which the rich can can pile their silver and* gold and the poor their pennies or stiches woven in 'garments sent on a mission of love and patriotism. It is the same refuge for the . high and low who feel that all they can do for those cross to foreign fields for battle, is to con tribute their time and skHl?, towards ' .giv ing comfort to the body, cjlre and. protection to the.wgunds of their? friends, relatives and countrymen. “Then let us pray that come it may,As com? it will for a’ that.

Anyone who has eyes to see can go over our streets and see that the work that is done is in a great measure money thrown away —no judgment is used in fixing the sidewalks to keep the water off. hue it is actually dammed up and is forced to run down the side walk in order to get into the side ditches, thus destroying the side walks, and the Btreets are and have for 20 years been worked in much the same way. If it is designedly done, it looks like it might be for the purpose ot keeping in a job for some one. If not dtsigte 'ly, then we noeil some one with better judgment to superintend and do the work.

ITY-FIVE BALES SET AS MINIMUM CAR LOAD In the North of Dvinsk the Russians Have Taken the Offensiye and Are carrying Out Raiding Operations.— Italians Renew Offensive. Having failed in all their direct attacks by land to break the Russian front and capture Riga, Russia’s prin cipal naval base and arsenal on the Baltic, the possibility that the Ger mans are now preparing for an of fensive by land and sea is forecast in the maneuvers of their topedoboat destroyers, submarine and mine-sweep- ing trawlers in adjacent waters and in. aerial attacks in the gulf of Riga itself. Forty airplanes of the enemy have winged their flight over the waters of the gulf dropping bombs. Ninety of these missiles wer* loosed upon Rusi sian warships and harbor works and raids were also carried out against islands in the gulf. What damage, if any, ,resulted, is not stated in the Russian official communication. Neither Russian nor Berlin war of fices has announced the recommence ment of infantry activity in the marshy- district west of Riga, where recently the Germans made advances, although Berlin says' that northwest of Dvinsk, in the region of Illukst, the Russians have taken the offensive and are carrying out raiding oper ations. The situation on the other sectors of the Russian front has changed materially. The Italians are still making gains on the Bainsizza plateau north -of Gorizia and also have renewed their offensive to the south on the Carso plateau. More than 600 additional Austrian prisoners and five machine guns have been captured in the Bain- slzza region. South of this region, on the dominating peak of Monte San- gadiele, more ground has been taken. SECOND J.ISERTY LOAN .DRIVE IS ANNOUNCED.

Subscription books will' close No vember I unless the program is alter-, ed. The amount, the interest rate, the denominations of the bonds and other details will be announced after Congress disposes of, the pending bond bill. Indications are that the next offer ing will approximate $3,000,000,000. Whether it will be advertised by the government through paid newspaper ; space is under consideration, but Sec- j retary McAdoo said the cost of such ■ an undertaking would exceed the ap- , propriation now available for the pur- j pose. He added that there could be I no action until more light had been re- ! ceived as to thfe cost of effective ad- | vertising campaign and until Congress had decided what amount will be al lowed for advertising for future is sues. / Under the war revenue bill, pasteed lust April, $7,000,000 was made avail able for expenses of fioatIng $5,000,- 000,000 in bonds and $2,000,000,000 in short time certificates of indebted ness.

Feature *of President’s Communica tion is Determination Not to Dis cuss Peace So Long as Forces, of Autocracy Control Central Powers. Washington. — President Wilson’s rejection of the Pope’s peace propos als is regarded here as the high water mark of the war. Furthermore, it is indicative of the virtual selection of the President by the allies as their spokesman before the world. The note comes as a climax to the remarkable series of state documents in which President Wilson has argu ed the cause of world democracy against autocracy in the high court of public opinion, and accepted more and more by the people of air the allied countries as expressing their ideals. There appears to be no doubt that the United States was selected, to make answer before the world, in ad vance of all the others. Whether the entente nations will send extensive re plies is not known here. It is re garded as probable that they ,will in large measue adopt the President’s reasoning for their own and send notes of endorsement. The general tenor of the Presi. dent’s reply had been anticipated ev erywhere, but there was no inkling of the" forceful terms he would em ploy to say thaj the world can have no faith in the autocratic government of Germany. Students of diplomacy see in his denunciation of the military autocracy a. fresh appeal to the war-ridden Ger man people to throw off their military masters. Although this appeal probably will not be permitted to become known in Germany until the. autocracy has at tempted to mold the temper of the people for its reception by a denuncia tion through a government controlled press of what has been characterized as interference In the internal affairs of Germany, the hope is that it will fall on fertile soil. That the President’s response to the Pope’s overtures would be a courte ous but firm declination had been generally believed, so that in this re spect at least his communication will cause no surprise. The feature that is certain to fix public attention is the cold determina tion not even to permit the subject, of peace negotiations to he broached so long as the evil and. dominating forces of autocracy and militarism control the central powers.

In Order to Maintain Friendly Rela tions Will Pay for Sinking Trade Ships. Buenos Aires.—Germany’s reply to Argentina’s note, embodying demands In connection with the submarine cam paign as affecting Argentine shipping has been received. In official circles it was stated that the reply was satis factory. According to the newspaper LaRa- zon the German note meets all the demands of Argentina. The newspaper says that "Germany in order to maintain friendly relations with Argentina is willing to modify her blockade of enemy coasts, allow ing freedom of the seas to vessels un der the Argentine flag carrying food." The note also promises the payment of an IndMnnlty for the sinking of the Argentine steamer Toro by a German submarine. Both the foreign minister and presi dent were outspoken in their indigna tion that an intimation of the contents of -the note was given to an afternoon newspaper and Count con I/uxburg, the German minister, before it was made public by the Argentine govern ment. COTTON PRODUCTION ESTIMATES INCREASE. Washington. — Cotton production prospects improved to the extent of 450,000 bales during August and brought the estimate of final out turn to 12,499.000 equivalent 500' pound bales.

Houston, Texas--The municipal board of inquiry which is taking tes timony. regarding the disturbance when 100 negroes of the Twenty- fourth infantry shot up the West End district of the city, heard witnesses tell of conditions in the camp of negro troops. The testimony largely was that negro ;women visited the camp In numbers after nightfall, that empty liquor bottles were plentiful In the grass and weeds about the camp and that negro soldiers violated the “Jim Crow” law bn the cars at will. • Washington.—President Wilson has rejected the Pope’s peace proposals. The text of the note follows: “To his Holiness, “Benedictus XV.‘Tope. “In . acknowledgment of the com munication of Your Holiness to the belligerent peoples, dated August I, 1917, the President of the United States requests me to transmit he fol- lowitiig reply: Plea Touches AU Hearts. “Every heart that has . not been blinded and hardened by this terrible ■war must be touched by this moving appeal of His Holiness the Pope, must feel the dignity and force of the hu mane and generoup motives which prompted it and must fervently wish that we might take the path of peace he so persuasively points out. But it would be folly to take it if it does not in fact lead to the goal he proposes. Our response must be based upon the stern facts and upon nothing else. It is not a mere cessation of arms he desires; it is a stable and enduring peace. This agony must not be gone through with again, and it must be a matter of very sober judgment what will insure us against it. “His Holiness in substance proposes that we return to the status quo ante bellum, and that then there be a gen eral condonation disarmament, and a concert of nations based upon an ac ceptance of the principle of arbitra tion; that by a similar concert free dom of the seas be established; and that the territorial claims of France and Italy, the perplexing problems of the Balkan states and the restiution of Poland be left to such conciliatory adjustments as may be possible of the peoples whose political fortunes and affiliations will be involved. “It Is manifest that no part of this program can be successfully carried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante furnished a firm and satis factory-basis for it. The object of this war is to deliver the free people of the world from th emenace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irre sponsible government which, having secretaly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry the plan out without regard either to the sa cred obligations of treaty or the long- established practices and long-cherish ed principles of' international action i and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law or -of mercy; swept a whole continent within the, tide of hlood—not the blood, of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and children ' also, and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked but not I defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of i the world. This power is not the' j Cterman people. It is the ruthless j master of the German people. It is • no business of ours how that great, people came under its control or sub mitted with temporary^ zest to the domination o fits purpose but it is our business to see to it that the history of he rest of the world is no longer left to its handling. ‘To deal'with such a power by way of peace upon the plan proposed by His Holiness the Pope would so faT as we can see, involve a recuperation of its strength, a renewal,of its policy; would make it necessary to create a permanent hostile combination of na tions against the German people; who are its instruments; and would result In abandoning the new-born Russia to the intrigue, the manifold subtle inter ference, and the certain counter-revo lution which fould be attempted by all the malign influences to which the German government -has of late accus tomed the world; Can peace be based upon a restitution of its power or upon any word of honor it< could pledge in a treaty of settlement and accommoda tion? * * * * “The test, therefore, of every plan of peace Is this: “Is it based upon the faith of all the .people involved .or merely upon the world of an ambitious and intrigu ing government, on the one hand, or of a group of free peoples, on the other? This is a test which goes to the -root of the matter; and it is the test which must be applied. “The purposes of the United States In this war are known to the whole worlds—to every people to whom the truth has been permitted to come. They do not need to he stated again. * * * * “We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guar antee, of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of- the will and purpose of the German people them selves as the other peoples of the world would be justified In accejpting. Without 'such guarantees, treaties, of settlements, agreements or disarma ment,-covenants to set up arbitration in the place of force, territorial ad justments, reconstitutions of small na tions, if made with the German gov ernment, no man, no nation could now depend on. We must await some new evidences of the purposes of the great peoples of..the central powers. God graint it may be given soon and in a wa yto restore the confidence of all. peoples everywhere in the faith- of nations and thepossibility of a covenanted peace. • " • “ROBERT LANSING,. “Secretary of State of the United States of America.” - WE CF WHEAT IS FIXED IT SM) BH. APPLIES TO PURCHASES MADE BY GOVERNMENT-FOR AMER- ICA AND ALLIES. FARiViERS EXPECTED TO OBJECT Food Administration Expects Compro mise Price of $2.20 to Control and 6tabilize'Markets,-Lowering the Cost of Living. Washington.—The price of No. I northern spring wheat was fixed at $2.20 a bushel at Chicago for the 1917 crop by the wheat fair price commit tee, headed by H. A. Garfield, whose findings reached after three days’ de liberation, were submitted to and ap proved by President Wilson. The announcement was made ‘ from the White House. Labor representatives on the com mittee voted first for $1.84 and the farmers $2.50. After long discussions the compromise at $2.20 was approved unanimously. On the base of $2.20 at Chicago the food administration worked out dif ferentials for the various grades and classes and for the several terminals. The price fixed is twenty cents high er than that nam£d for the 1918 crop •by .congress in the food control hill. The $2 price set by congress was tak en into consideration by the commit tee in considering a rair valuation for this year’s crop. In a statement accompanying the announcement of the price, President Wilson declares it is the hope of the food administration, and his own as well, that the fixing of a price will stabilize the market and keep prices within moderate bounds for all trans actions during the current year. The price of flour and bread, too, the president declares, will be kept down. The committee. In its report to the president, gave as the three chief considerations that entered into its deliberations the following: The fact that the United States is at war, the need of encouraging the producer, and the necessity of reduc ing the cost of living to the consumer. All members agreed in their discus sions that the price fixed will permit of a fourteen-ounce loaf of bread-for five cents, allowing a fair prpfit both to the flour, manufacturer and the^ , -Uf: • • • ‘ba.ker. . v. . The price differentials worked out by the food administration are: No. I dark hard winter, $2.24; hard winter basic, $2.20; red winter basic, $2.20; yellow hard winter, $2.16; soft red winter, $2.18; . dark northern spring, $2.24; red spring, $2.18; hump back, $2.10; amber durum, $2.24; du rum basic, $2.20; red durum, $2.13; red walla, $2.13; hard white basic, $2.20; soft white, $2.18; white club, $2.16. BLOOD AND IRON RULE IN RUSSIA SEEMS STARTED. More Slav Regiments Throw Down Arms and Quit. While the Russians west of Fok- shani again have deserted their posts, thereby permitting the Teutonic al lies to make further gains in the re gion of Ocna and Kezdi-Vavarhely they are giving battle to the invaders and on both sectors have repulsed strong attacks. Between Ireshti and Fokshanl a majority of the men comprising the Russian regiments deserted their trenches and fled, but the Russian commanders have taken steps to re store the former status of the line by filling the gap with loyal men. Following the reports of fresh dis affection among the Russians on the east Bukawina front-, which came prior to the commencement of the retrograde movement in . southern Moldavia, Premier Kerensky in a speech at the closing session of the Moscow conference let it be known again'that order was to be brought out of chaos by the putting to death of the cowards who threw down their arms in the face of the enemy. HORRIBLE TREATMENT IS . GIVEN PRISONERS OF WAR. Washington.—Starved; beaten and subjected to many indignities, prison ers of war in Germany are being com pelled to work In trenches and fields under thefire from the armies of their own countries. Reports made by Rus sian soldiers who have escaped from Germany and which have been trans mitted to the state department, say prisoners, of all nationalities are being used on work just behind the lines and within range.pt the guns. RUSSIA TO SUFFER MOSCOW CONFERENCE EXPECTS TO SOON BRING-SOME PRAC TICAL RESULTS. PREMIER HAS CLOSED SESSION Kerensky Declares That New Freedom In Russia Is Now Public Property; Cannot Be Wrested From ths People. Moscow. —' Premier Kerensky In closing the Russian conference said that although the different political groups had criticised the provisional government, they , had shown clearly a desire to arrive , at an agreement. “The provisional government,” declar ed the premier, "will stand on guard over the revolution. It will suffer no counter-revolutionary attempts, what ever be their source, for the provision al government is the incarnated will of the whole Russian people. It does not regr-st having convoked the con ference? at Moscow, which although it has '^ot yielded practical results, has allwed all Russian citizens to say frankly what they think necessary for the state.” Premier Kerensky then spoke of the services rendered to the country by the revolutionary democracy, which, he observed, took power at a terrible momenit in the life of tha state. “Whoever endeavors to wrest their conquests from the people,” he con cluded, “will never succeed for they have now become public property.” MANY EMPTY FREIGHT CARS ORDERED SOUTHWARD. New York—More than 7,000 addi tional-empty freight cars have been ordered into the south and southwest within the last ten days to protect movements of grain and food products and to facilitate', lumber transporta tion for cantonments and shipyards, it was announced here by Fairfax Har rison, chairman of the railroads' war hoard. Neairlj- 2.500. of these cjxa have been placed in grain' producing statfls; 4,537 into lumbar states. WILSON APPROVES PLAN TO BUIL DESTROYERS. Gives Daniels His Consent to Lay Plan, Involving Expense of $550,- 000,000 Before Congress. Washington.—President Wilson ap proved' estimates of the navy depart ment for the expenditure of an addi tional $550,000,000 for new destroyers to* combat German submarines. The project will be laid before Congress immediately by Secretary Daniels.

HOW TO REST BY RELAXATION : \ Wonderful Currents, Curative, Restor ing and Replenishing Flow Into the Submissive Body During Moments of Relaxation. BY AUGUSTUS THOMAS, of the Vigilantes. New York.—This is a genuine letter, a “document,” written by the distin guished dramatist to his son nbout to go to France. Mr. Thomas when writ ing had no thought of its publication. He is an enthusiastic Vigilante; others of the organization happened to see the letter and persuaded him to let it be published. My Dear Son: ' I was interested Jn the report of the boys In their hike under the full packs, and their readiness to faU asleep when chance came at the end of the day. That “dog-tired” fatigue is the kind that brings the most com plete relaxation and the fullest re cuperation. We learn late in life— some of us-—that the secret of re cuperation, and therefore the secret of power, not only physicnl power, but also power mental and spiritual, Is the ability to relax. You are probably going to France, and if so will often have great need of the quickest replenishment of your expended strength. Perhaps you will remember more definitely some sug gestions about relaxing If I give you the basic reasons for them. I used to amuse you when you were a little fellow by “hypnotizing mos quitos.” You ,will recall that a mos quito that would fly from my hand or face when you tried to catch him would sit still for me until I slowly picked him up. The trick In that was my waiting until I felt his sting, and then taking a deep breath, and “push ing on I jv or tensing up. That tension automatically closed all the pores of the skin, and the mosquito who had put his bill into one of these pores found it gripped and held there as a bear’s foot might be held In a spring trap. That closing of the pores under ten sion is one of nature’s means of pro tection. A man suddenly plunged into water instinctively inhales and auto matically closes his pores. He does the same thing if startled by danger or attacked by any emotional shock. He does it also when making any consid erable effort Strength From Without It is only with age and some humil ity that we come to realize how much of our so-called strength comes from outside of us, actually flows into us and through us on what if the phrase won’t frighten you, I might call the “cosmic currents.” There is a little scientific instru ment called the biometre that regis ters, and ,to some extent measures, this strength-giving current. -I hope it •won’t bore you if I tell you of it briefly.' „ The blometre is a small glass bell or dome, inside of which there is a copper needle suspended by a silk thread. The bell rests on a board un der which is “a coil of copper wire. The needle swings free, not quite touching the supporting base. When a man approaches the blometre with his left hand the needle is drawn toward him slightly but perceptibly. When he approaches the bell with his right hand, the needle swings a,way from him more perceptibly than it swung toward him In the first experiment, i If two biometres are used, one for each hand, the needle in the left one is drawn toward the man, and that In the right one is repelled. That would seem to indicate that a current was flowing into us and through us from left to right. , Furthermore it is possible to pro duce this interesting phenomenon: if . .the man tries to affect the current by a tensed effort, the right needle moves further from him than before, but the left one ceases to be attracted and hangs plumb. This would seem to In- 'dicate that his effort expended the ‘energy which the right-hand needle | registered, and at the same time the | effort closed the body to any intake' . |of the supply. S Ifs worth thinking about. To Relay Is an A rt Sometime in the early nineties I saw Kid McCoy knock out a fighter named Billy Stift. Between-the rounds Stift took the usual rubbing and fanning by his seconds, but McCoy occasionally substituted a system of deep breathing and relaxation as he stood by the ropes. I believe he was the first fight er to spar with open palms, closing Ms fists only as he struck. . I recall some interviews In wMch he was .quot ed as saying that he conserved his strength by ; that- manner, being: re laxed when sparring and tensing up only for-; a blpw. The fact was that : strength flowed.-.into him in those mo ments of relaxing as it flows into all of us. Thd big cats are instructive In that respect It’s wonderful to Watch their complete relaxation in most attl- i fades. ■ Children, too, have the quality. .(Ti Great-peace .18 .with us only when ■ifgfi ;are:, completely relaxed, and 'let SO’’ a s It w qre. .jtj-To relax ls somewhat of an1 art It can’t be fully done without- a deep breath first, and then the "let go.” One can’t relax from “half tension’’ as It were. Often we think we are re laxed only to find, after hours of wait ing when utter exhaustion Mumps us, that we have been in some respect holding ourselves away from the bed. A rehearsal in the theater is a dire thing for tightening one up. who is di recting it and unconsciously lifting each character. After many years I’ve come to recognize the condition In time, and often In the dark auditorium, when the actors or scrub women can’t see me, I lie supine on the carpet In an aisle or the foyer, and with arms outstretched for a minute relax all over. It isn’t so simple as It sounds. Even after the deep breath one has to think down to the very finger tips and toes, and by mental command dismiss the accumulated tension. Then last of all, the muscles of the face—to let them fall with half-closed eyelids and the lips slipping away from the- teeth as they do on dead men. It’s quite as tonishing what a refreshing indulgence even a half minute of such relaxing Is. As Tye snid, it’s an art to do it, and very useful when you get it. Practiced by Japs. The Japs are past masters at it. They were taught it and practiced it conscientiously In the Japo-Russian war. After lying supine for a minute, each Jap soldier would be taken by the head by a comrade, and firmly pulled until the packed vertebrae of his spinp were drawn apart and re leased" ftoiii the. day’s' pressure on them. Recalling your physiology lec tures, you will remember that each spine bone has its two wings- or flanges, each pierced by a small hole about the diameter of a lead pencil. Through those holes the great trunk nerves' travel with the smaller nerves branching from them. A few hours’ march, even'without gun or pack, sags these vertebrae together as tight as their cartilege cushions will permit. Lying down helps greatly to remove this pressure, but the Japanese slow pull on the head does it at once. A man can do it somewhat for himself by lifting his shoulders as he dies on his back and “huncMng” them along as if trying to get them as far as pos sible from his belt. When I’m on my bade for my two minutes’ rest cure,' I take two or three such hunches at intervals, trying to hold my gain each time by an anchorage of the shoulder blades against the carpet. Generally I can hear the vertebrae as they slip from their packed contact tp an easier adjustment, especially if in my hunch ing I have lifted my head so that some pull is put on the spinal column. Six ty seconds' of such rest is worth an hour in a chair. Richard Harding Davis told me, or maybe it was Irvin Cobb, “I heard tell of the German sol diers utilizing - even a few minutes’ halt to throw themselves on the ground flat and extended.” I wish you’d try it, especially over there when they send you and I fancy it will help if you really believe and know, as you yield yourself to the ground, thaf it is somewhat more than rest—know that into your submissive body the divine and wonderful cur rents are flowing, curative, restorative and replenishing. It’s really the “Big Medicine.” Affectionately, FATHER. REAL SOLDIERS TO LEAD NEW ARMY Men Appointed to High Com m and Have Proven Ability in Service. PICKED FOR THEIR RECORDS Most of the 200 Major Generals and Brigadier Generals Recently Ap pointed Were Cadets Together at West Point. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—If there should be a mobilization of the 200 major generals and brigadier generals appointed to commands In the new selective service army, the affair would be a reunion of men most of whom were cadets to gether at the West Point Military academy. This means that there is hardly a new major general In the list who does not know the methods and the manners of service of every brigadier general who will serve under him and it may be said also that there is barely a brigadier general who does not know all about the record, the penalty and the idiosyncrasies of the major general Whot as a division commander, will give Mm orders. Some of these men who have been appointed to high rank In the new army are within one, two or three years of the retirement age. It may be that out of their ranks will come ,a Joffre, a Haig, or a Petaln, but as many In Washington look at it, it seems like ly perhaps that the greatest American soldiers of this war are mqre likely to be produced from the ranks of the younger men, although military ex- LEiADS “TANGO ESCADRILLE” Capt Baron Manfried von Richtho fen, commander of Germany’s famous “Tango Escadrille,” which gave battle to four American flyers who sought to break the noted squadron’s air su premacy.

Gunemeyer, the French aviator, is" Ms closest competi tor, having brought to earth 50 ma cMnes. The famed “Tango.

After a 45 minute flght.the American airmen- flew away. perts admit that in recent wars many elders of the services have made ever lastingly good. Selected on Their Records. The 37 major generals of the new National army nominated by the presi dent were all selected on the basis of their records of service.. On going through tMs list I find that out of the 37, 22 were cadets at the United States Military academy at the time that I attended that Institution. 'Some of them I knew well when I was a cadet. Others I did hot know well be cause they were upper classmen when I was a junior classman, but with the plebe and the yearling’s Interest in the older fellows I learned , a lot about them wMle they hardly knew that I was In existence. This is the way of things at the military academy. Seven of the new major generals were my classmates and it ought to go without saying that these men I know well, but at present I shall write noth ing of them except to say that every one of them has a good military record. It happens, however, that with some of the upper classmen of that day I have had more or less intimate ac quaintance in recent years and in some cases strong frlendsMps have devel oped. Frederick S. Strong is one of the new major generals. Strong, I think, will look after the men lucky enough to be In Ms division as a father looks after Ms cMldren, but when it comes to a case of fighting he will display the Roman father’s fortitude and will lead his children to the front with no thought of sparing them if sacrifice is necessary to win the battle. Strong’s just but kindly disposition led the military academy to put Mm In charge of the incoming plebe class in the year .1879. Those were the days of hazing and hades af West Point. Strong guarded the peace of the new cadets. Made major generals with Mm ore half a dozen men who re ceived their first soldier instruction as plebes. at West Point from Frederick S. Strong. ' Are Real Leaders. Maj. Gen. Edwin St. John Greble, who either will lead a National Guard or a new army division to the front, is a son of the first officer of the regular army to be killed In the Civil war. The elder Greble fell at Big Bethel.. TMs newly appointed major general was a godson of the late Gen. 0. O. Howard, sometimes known as the “Christian soldier.” When Howard Went to West Point to become the academy’s super intendent, Greble, Ms godson, was a first classman and the cadet adjutant Greble cut up some dido or other and Howard promptly reduced Mm to the ranks. The relatlonsMps of father and son and godfather and godson do not make for leniency in the army when regula tions have been violated, Greble’s of fense would not have amounted to a hill of beans at college, but at West Point it was made to appear a moun tain. Major General Greble’s record of service is one of. the finest that ap pears in the pages of the Army Regis- ter. It was predicted, six weeks ago that Joseph T. Dickmap of the Second cav alry, who then was , promoted to a brigadier generalship from the rank of colonel, would on the next promotion occasion be made a major general. The prediction Mt the mark. ; The regiments that go to the front with Didkihan can be sure that they ate following a soldier. Dlckman Is a hard-fisted fighter, much more ready to spare his men than to spare himself, but.he will spare neither unless the occasion requires sparing. He has fought everywhere that there has ,been a chance to fight since the year Of his graduation. 9 IS FIfIE COMMISSIONER YOUNG IS URGING EVERY CITIZEN TO EXAMINE HIS PREMISES. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo, pie, Gathered Around' the State Capital. Raleigh. Only about six weeks now intervene before the day appointed by law in North Carolina as Fire Prevention Day. James R. Young, Commissioner of Insurance, is urging that necessity of a strict and careful observance of this day in this year is manifest. Con servation is on the lips of every patriotic citizen in the state. Ameri ca has her hands full this year, with an enemy outside her borders. It is up to the citizens at home to see that no great damage to life and property can come to us from our own neglect. It is the intention of the law in this special Fire Prevention Day, which is October 9th, to set apart a day when every citizen will look into the condi tion of his premises and remove the things that make for danger. The day is set apart at this season of the year when the time draws near for the starting of the winter fires. The “lim bering up” of heating systems that have laid idle all summer begins. You don’t know what may have happened to yours during the summer months. Have an expert go over the system when you get ready to turn it on, and see that there are no hazards there. There services of an expert to do this little bit of inspection may cost you two or three dollars. The saving of tMs fee might cost you your home or your business. You are going to start fires in stoves and fireplaces about this time. Take a look at the flues and see what the conditions are. It may be a little trouble, but it’s worth the effort. Look-at the rear of stores and bu's- iness blocks in your town, whether it’s your property or not—it’s your town. There may be an accumulation of rubbish in the back lots and the starting of fires In the store buildings may burn some soot in a dirty flue. A litie wind, a little spark, the back- Iot rubbish—and thousands of dollars go'up In smoke. Another thing: sup pose a small fire starts—you know they’re all small at first—there is a lot of rubbish In a back lot nearby, boxes, bits of broken glass, pieces of board with nails in them, a fireman steps on this, is cut, blood poisoning occurs. You’d hate to think yon caused that, wouldn’t you? Look the'ground over thoroughly on Fire Prevention Day. That is what this day is set apart' for. Clean up your premises thorougMy, inside and out. Tell your neighbor about it. If he does not take an interest in the matter, make him clean up. The. law Is on your side. On the Service of the S tate.' The gathering of practically • 600 boys and girls at the Short Course held at the College of Agriculture and Engineering proves again that the work of the Agricultural Extension Service, conducted jointly by the college and the State Department of Agriculture, is more than justifying its existence. It is not believed that another state in the union has had such an attendance on any short course given at their state college of agriculture. Looking for an attend ance of about two or three hundred, the authorities were surprised when train after train came in loaded with members of the agricultural clubs coming to join their fellows for a week of inspirational work and fun. • Wednesday, 17th, Is Woman’s Day. The Woman’s building committee appointed by President R. 0. Everett at the recent meeting of the executive committee of the State Fair Associa tion; decided to have the dedicatory exercises for the new woman’s build ing at the fair grounds on Wednesday, October 17, and to invite Congress man Jeannette Rankin of Montana to deliver the principal address o n . the occasion. The meeting of the com mittee was in the office of Judge R. W. Winston. An invitation has already been ex tended to Congressman Rankin to speak in Raleigh on tMs occasion and it is thought that she will ■ accept, Other speakers will also make ad dresses on the occasion of dedicating the new building. Poultry Clubs Show Results.- After inspecting several large farms on which poultry club work -has been conducted for the last two-years, Mr., Allen G. Oliver, poultry club agent of the extension service, states that won derful improvement has been noticed In . the way the poultry is being han dled, improved; and looked after. The farm .flocks are being given better care and are .being better feed this year than at any previuos time in the his tory of th work. -This is largely true because ,of. the practical -methods ad vocated by the poultry club offica. Goyernor for Red CroM=Work. Govirnor Bickett took a hand In furthering the movement by the To bacco Associaitidn of the United Statbs, headquarters at Richmond, Va., looking to the inducement of every tobacco grower to contribute to .the Red Cross fund for war relief, the proceeds of the sale of one pile of leaf tobacco sold on the warehouse floor. The governor wrote personal letters to each of the designed leaders'in this, movement In the various tobacco grow ing sections of ‘ the state endorsing most heartily the plan of the Tobacco Association of the United States; as promulgated by President T. M. Car rington, Richmond, Va., and express ing the hope, that the North Carolina tobacco growers and warehousemen will do their full share in the success ful carrying out of the movement. In his letter to the committeemen, Governor Bickett ,after speaking of the resolution recently adotped em bracing the plans says: “I desire to commend most heartily Ithis resolution, also the plan outlined by the Tobacco Association by which it is hoped that thousands of dollars will be raised for this worthy cause. Permit me also to urge that you give to this cause your wholehearted and enthusiastic co-operation. I am sure, if you will do this, you can make it count for much in yoitr section of the state.” The representatives named at the various markets are: W. T. Clarke, Wilson; E. B.

Cheatham, Henderson. Physicians Under Thirty-two Drafted. Physicians under thirty-two years of'age are amenable to the draft for soldiers, according to information re ceived from the War Dpartment at Washiniton. As the law now stands every physician who is physically fit and under thirty-two years of age is.a drafted man whether his name has been called or not. The need of young physicians in the army is imperative. Major Joseph C. Bloodgood, chairman of the Southern Committee on National Defense, says: Every physically fit doctor thirty-one years old owes it to his country to be in the Medical Reserve Corps. As a matter of fact, he is a drafted man whether his number has been called or not.” The army calls for. young physicians for two, reasons: they can stand the strain of army, life better 'than the older men, and, as a whole they are not held by so many family and financial obligations. .. Dr. J. W. Long, of Greensboro, chair man of the State Committee on Na tional Defense, Medical Section, will upon request furnish suitable blanks for making' application in the Medical Officers’ Reserve Corps. North Caro lina has not yet given her quota though she ranks ahead of the aver age state in the number of medical- men she has furnished the army. Control Cotton Anthracnose. Each year along about this time the agricultural experiment station of the college and department of agricul ture receives a number of speciments of diseased cotton bolls. These bolls are more or less affected with a fun gus diease known as “boll-rot” or anthracnose. It is a disease which is spread by seed having been obtained from rotten or half-rotten bolls the previous fall. Hence, it may be seen that to properly control it the seed must be free from disease. As it first appears the boll has a small pinkish looking -rotte^ spot which entirely destroys certain bolls and leaves oth ers partially destroyed. When the seed is saved from partially rotted bolls it has within it the fungus and -when the-seed is planted it will pro duce plants bearing the “boll-rot.” From this it may be seen that the disease is controlled by planting dis ease-free seed. But it also has ,been found that the disease will live over in old stalks and bolls left in the field: Where cotton is to be planted on the same field the next ye&r these stalks and bolls should be plowed under at least six Inches. By far the best plan, however, is to rotate the crop, putting no cotton on the same land each year. Where disease-free seed cannot be obtained in the neighborhood it is a good idea to go into -the field and se lect such bolls as are not affacted and save the seed for next year’s planting. According to Dr. F. A. Wolf, plant pathologist, this should be done even if there is time to select only a small amount of bolls. ; By planting these separately in a small plof enough .will be saved to make a patch free from anthracnose disease: 1 East is Peanut Section. The eastern part of North -Carolina has come to be- a section noted for the the production of peanuts. The major ity of farmers In this section grow these as'.a commercial crop. Those who grow the large varieties of pea nuts know that a heavy percentage of the crop is left In the ground. There is only one - possible way of making use of this waste and that Is by em ploying hogs. As a matter of -fact, the hog business has followed the pea nut business but tMs year there is not enough hogs to eat -them.'

The seal was launched In this coun try by Mr. Jacob Riis, who lost one after another of sis brothers with tu berculosis. One day near Christmas, 1906, Mr. Riis received a letter from his old home in Denmark which car ried besides regular postage many new strange stamps. ' He discovered that these stamps were sold to help the Danish people battle against tubercu losis. 'H e wrote about this stamp in the Outlook a forceful article which fell into the hands of Miss Bissell, and she took the idea up in order to rnise funds for antituberculosis work needed in Delaware, and this set of circumstances—the Danish stamp, Mr. Riis’ letter, the need of money In Dela ware, and Miss .BIsselPs Insight and initiative, led to the Red Cross Christ mas seal. When we cdme to realize that the white plague kills an army of a hun dred and fifty thousand people every year, we also realize tliat it is a calam ity to rank with war. Tuberculosis is a preventable disease, and the Red Cross has entered the battle against it. The Christmas seals have had an immense educational value nnd are witnesses to its benevolent strength.

One of the reasons why iced-tea is so frequently strong as lye or other wise improperly prepared is largely the lack of knowing how to get the best from the tea. To make a quart of iced tea, take. three teaspoonfuls of tea and tie it in a small piece of muslin, pour over the quuTt of water just as it comes to the first boll; the Japan ese say, “just before It bolls.” ' Cover closely, and let it stand two minutes, then remove the tea leaves, chill with chipped ice and serve with lemon quarters allowing each guest to sweeten his drink or not as It pleases him. Cherry Jelly.—Soften a quarter of a package of gelatine in a quarter of a cupful of cold water, then add a half cupful of boiling water, a half cupful' of sugar and a cupful of cherry juice. Stand the bowl in ice water nnd stir until it begins to be firm, then add a cupful of pitted cherries. Turn into molds and serve with whipped creanj at serving time. Fruit Puffs.—Take a cupful of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, add a half cupful of rich milk or enough to make a drop batter, put a spoonful Into small cups well greased, then drop In any fresh fruit finely chopped another spoonful of the batter and set Into a pan of hot wa ter, cover closely and cook 15 minutes. Serve with cream and sugar. When canning any fruit or when the can is opened and some of the fruit sirup is left, this should be care fully saved and may be used as a pud ding sauce, as a garnish to plain ice creams or as a basis for any number of delightful frozen dishes. A half cupful of two ■ or three fruit sirups with a lemon or two, a pint of thin cream or rich milk will make a most tasty sherbet. Au old and most palatable dish us: Ing blueberries, either cooked or fresh Is this: spread bread with butter and place in a deep baking dish, cover with hot blueberries and let stand for two hours until chilled when the bread will have absorbed the ex cess of juice. This is a most tasty pudding to serve children. Accompany the pudding with sugar and cream. Good food habits are an im portant part of personal hygiene and thrift. Children get such habits by having suitable - am ount^ of suitable foods served to them and then being expected to eat w hat is set before them. CUCUMBER WAYS. The refreshing, cool cucumber, al though having little nourishment, be ing 90 per cent water, Is especially adapted for hot weather food. It is cool ing to the blood and its crisp green slices are es pecially attractive as an ,appetizer. We think of the cucumber in its crisp freshness, but it lends it self to many other meth ods of preparation. Japanese Method. — Cook the cucumbers whole, slit them open and serve with butter and salt. Another way: Boil the peeled cucum ber in a mixture of milk and water and then dip in egg and crumbs and fry brown, or dip in a fritter batter and serve as any other fritter. If you have not tried cream of cu cumber soup there is something new in sensations coming, for it is deli cious. Use two or more cupfuls of chopped cucumber cooked in a small amount of water and the water and cucumber put through a sieve, adding it to rich milk with a binding of flour and butter as usual in' preparing a cream soup. A seasoning of onion is an addition if liked. Stuffed Baked Cucumbers.—Take the largest sized cucumbers for this dish. Cut them in halves and remove the seeds, leaving a smooth cavity for the stuffing. Drop these shells into boiling water and cook for five min- nutes, then chill in ice water, drain and fill with n mixture of cold meat, mushrooms, hard-cooked egg, or left over vegetables well seasoned, with sufficient butter and crumbs to make the filling of the right consistency. The halves may be tied together or baked separately, basting occasionally with hot stock, gravy or butter and water. Bake about an hour. Stewed Cucumbers.—Peel, quarter and seed the cucumbers. Fry a little onion In butter, add the cucumbers, turning until brown on both sides. Re move and add a tablespoonful of flour to the fat in the pan and when .brown add a cupful of veal or chicken stock. Season with pepper and salt, replace the cucumbers in the pan, cover and let simmer a half hour. Cucumber 8auce for Fish:—Place a tablespoonful each ' of butter and Chopped oinlon In a saucepan ; when; light brows remove the onion atfdia'dd a tablespoonful of flour; when well mixed add three-fourths of a cupful of stock or milk, cook until smooth; add half a cupful of fresh grated cu cumber, a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

This is the time of the year when we are planning to conserve all of the fruits of various kinds that we can afford to combine with sugar. O ra n g e and Quince.—Pare half a dozen quinces, remove the cores with an apple corer and cut In thick Slice two navel oranges unpeeled in the same way. Cover with boiling water and boil gently one hour. Add one pint of sugar, with more water if needed, and cook a half hour longer. This may be varied by using the quinces whole, filling the cavity from which the core was removed with orange marmalade.. Ginger Pears.—Take eight pounds of green pears, eight pounds of sugar, juice of four lemons nnd a fourth of a pound of green ginger root. Pare and cut the fruit in thin slices, the rind in small thin pieces. Boil slowly until thick. Seal In glasses. Carrot Conserve.—Wash and scrape a half dozen firm, highly colored car rots ^tnd put them through the meat chopper, cutting as fine as peas. Boil for half an hour salting lightly. To each pint add two cupfuls of light, brown sugar, the juice and rind of a lemon or a sour orange. Cook slowly for one or more hours until clear and thick. Plum Conserve.—Take three pounds of plums and equal weight of sugar. Cut the plums In pieces, add a little water, the sugar, one-third of a pound of raisins and the pulp of two oranges. Simmer one hour. Seal in glasses. Pineapple .may tie combined with rhubarb to make a marmalade or pre serve which is very delicious. The quantity of rhubarb is about three times that of pineapple, but owing to the strong flavor of the pine, the con serve is really pineapple. The same proportion may be used with straw berries, raspberries or other fruit that has a characteristic flavor, which over comes the rhubarb. Every fruit and vegetable possible should be conserved this year either by canning, drying or salting. Life is too short to waste In critic peep or cynic bark. Quarrel or reprimand ’Twill soon be dark; Up, mind thine own aim, and God speed the mark! WELL TRIED DISHES. Macaroni, spaghetti and vermicelli are all most nourishing foods, and by using them we add variety to our diet Baked Vermicelli Pudding. — T a k e four heaping table spoonfuls of vermi celli, crushed fine, four cupfuls of milk, two eggs, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, a teasponful of lemon extract, a tablespoonful of butter and a pinch of salt. Bring the milk to the boiling point, add salt and vermicelli and cook for a quarter of an hour. Butter a pudding dish, stir in the eggs Into the cooled mixture, add the extract and sugar. Turn Into the dish and bake until a delicate brown. Grate a little nutmeg over the top when serv ing. Spaghetti and Fruit Pudding.— Take a quarter of a pound of boiled •spaghetti, cut in half-inch pieces; a pint of stewed fruit or preserves, and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Place a layer of the fruit In a glass dish, then-a layer of spaghetti until all is used, having the spaghetti for the top layer. Pour over a custard, made of the yolks of two eggs, a pint of milk and three tablespoonfuls of sugar, bake ten min utes, or until the custard Is set, cover with a meringue, using the whites of the eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar with a little vanilla. Brown In the oven. * v Spaghetti Tipibales.—Boil a quar ter .of a pound of spaghetti in boiling salted water. Do not break it, but slide it gradually into the pan, holding it in the hands until it softens.. Boil until tender but do not lose its shape, then drain and blanch in cold water and spread it out at full length to cool. Butter some small molds well and line them with the spaghetti, be ginning at the middle of the bottom and coiling the spaghetti up the sides. Fill the centers with any desired cus tard and nut mixture, cover with but tered paper and steam for half an hour. Turn out and serve with toma to sauce. Macaroni cooked and served hot with grated cheese makes a most accepta ble dish to serve as a vegietable. lW tt Tmnsi MfARONF HT XigKATU HE DRAIN TILE ClF YOlif OWHALliriE FIED I FORIHElAHlfcSAKE I DMUHIIWMTO HAKElT YIBD/ LET U S SUBM IT P R IC E S C O L ll M BI A .

Contact sprays are the only effective means of controlling the various kinds of aphids, Uxe small insects which by feeding upon the juices of the plants do much damage to the fruit and foliage of orchard trees, currant, gooseberry and grape. As the aphids do not eat the plant tissues but drain the sap from them the var ious kinds of sprays containing stom ach poisons, such as parls green, ar senate of lead, etc., are ineffective. To do any good the sprays must come in contact with the bodies of the insects and great thoroughness in spraying is therefore necessary. There are a large number of differ ent forms of aphids, one or more of which may attack almost every form of orchard and bush fruit. For the most part, however, the same meas ures of control are applicable to all the species. Quite a number of the aphid species winter In the egg stage on the pinnts which they attack in the following spring. These may be con trolled successfully by spraying when the buds first show green tips of the foliage. In this way the first brood of the insects is killed and insurance is obtained against injury later in the season. Additional spraying may, however, be necessary if the infesta tion is severe. The importance of early bud spraying is greatest with those species of aphids whose attacks result in curling the leaves of the plants on which they feed. This curling serves to protect the insects to a considerable extent from the contact spray. Those species which do not curl the leaves are more easily controlled by sprays after it is noted that they are becom ing numerous. Nicotine Is Effective. Nicotine has been found to be one of the most effective substances for killing aphids, and as it may be ap plied with entire safety to plants it is possibly the best snited of all the substances used in the control of these insects. The cost of the concentrated article is high, but as it may be greatly diluted the actual cost of applying the spray compares favorably with that of other contact sprays. Of the commer cial preparations the 40 per cent nico tine sulphate is the solution in most common use. Weaker grades may be used if care is taken that the spray is made up to contain not less than 0.05 or 0.06 per cent of actual nicotine. Nicotine may be added either to the winter strength lime-sulphur solution used for the San Jose scale, or to the dilute lime-sulphur solution and ar senate of lead" spray employed In the control of insects and diseases of fruit and foliage. It may also be used in bordeaux mixture or in arsenate of lead and water spray. This is a great advantage, as the orchardist is en abled to spray against several pests si multaneously. It must be remembered, however, that, although the addition of soap adds much to the spreading power and efficiency of the nicotine spray, soap must not be used- with lime-sulphur solution. Make Sprays at Home. It is also a comparatively simple matter to make nicotine sprays at home if tobacco stems or refuse to bacco are available. In the home manufacture of the solution, however, it is difficult to determine the exact strength of the decoction, since the various kinds of tobacco refuse vary greatly in their nicotine coiftent. In this connection it is pointed out that the stems from which the extract has been made have a value for fertilizing purposes of about $10 a ton. . With tobacco refuse and stems costing about $20 a ton, the spray solution can be made for approximately I cent a gallon, the fertilizer value of the ex tracted refuse covering the cost of la bor, etc. The sprays should be made up as they are needed, for fermenta tion begins within a day or two. Washes made of fishoil or laundry soap are also effective against aphids, and are especially suitable for use on a small scale. The fishoil soap of dif ferent brands on the market varies greatly In water content, so that the precise quantity of soap to be used with a given amount of water will vary also. Manufacturers, however, are required by the federal insecticide act of 1910 to state on the label the amount of active ingredients (in this case soap) and of inert ingredients. This will enable purchasers to make "up a solution which should range from one pound of soap for five gal lons of water to one pound for seven gallons, depending upon the amount of water present in the soap. As has been already said, soap should not be. added to lime-sulphur solution. This Woolly Aphis. last may be used against aphids at the rate of one gallon to seven or eight gallons of water. The stock solution for this purpose is made according to the following formula: Kerosene, two gallons; fishoil or laundry soap, -one- half pound; water, one gallon. Annual Bud Spraying. In view of the increasing damage to apples from the various kinds of aphids, the annual bud spraying of apple orchards appears to be a good practice, and if continued over a series of years would, no doubt, prove profitable. The several aphids which occur on the plum, and the green peach aphids, do not curl Lhe foliage to the same extent as do some of the apple aphids, and it. usually will be found satisfactory to spray the trees after there are indications that these insects are abundant. Where the in sects have proved troublesome regu larly, however, spring spraying may be desirable. In the case of currants and gooseberries it is especially im portant to spray as the shoots are pushing out, otherwise the insects will soon be protected by the distorted foliage. When spraying is carried on later in the season the liquid should be directed upward to wet the Insects on the under side of the leaves. PEACH APHIS—it, WINGED FEMALE; b, WINGLESS FEMALE. FUMIGATE TO KILL INSECTS - -.............. ! M A L A R I AChillsand fever. Biliousness, Constipation and ailments requiring a TONIC treatment: GUARANTEEDondm ado bq BdxronsDrog CeWaco, Tex. p n " Sold hx, C f ljtAU DruJgiats- Vv^ Carbon Bisulphide Is M ost S a t isfactory, According to Pro fesso r Dean of K ansas. For the destruction of all Insects in jurious to stored grain In bins and granaries, fumigation with carbon bi sulphide is the most satisfactory meth od, according to George A. Dean, pro fessor of entomology in the Kansas State Agricultural college. If the fumigation is thoroughly- done, all of the destructive insects will succumb, to this simple and effec tive treatment. The carbon bisulphide fumes are highly inflammable and ex plosive, and this necessitates that all fire and artificial light be kept away from the bin while fumigating. The amount of carbon bisulphide used will vary with the temperature. Taken at the average temperature with the building fairly tight, five pounds win fumigate 1,000 cubic feet of space, or one pound for every 25 bushels of grain. At 60 degrees or be? low, . the results are" unsatisfactory with any amount of carbon bisulphide. The cracks and. doors should be made as tight as possible before fumigation is started. Since the vapors o f. carbon bisul phide are heavier than air," it Is ad visable to start distributing pans of the llqiid at the bottom and work to ward the top, if there is an exit there. ,If the carbon bisulphide is distributed ftom the ton. toward the bottom," then one should work.as rapidly as possible. Shallow pans with'a large evaporat ing surface should be used. The pons should be well distributed through out the bin. Where the grain is deep, in order to hasten the fumigation the carbon bisulphide may be introduced into the grain by a piece of gas pipe with a removable plug in one end. This pipe is pushed down into the grain and the carbon bisulphide poured into i t The plug is pushed out and the pipe removed. When fumigation has continued for 36 hours, and as long as 48 hours, if the grain is not to be used for germ inating purposes, the doors and win dows are opened and the building al lowed to ventilate two hours before entering. Some fumes will still re main in the corners, but will disappear in a short time. SOIL FOR ALFALFA SEEDING Tender Nature of'Young Plants Re quires That Land Be In Excellent Tilth When Planting. The tender nature of the young al falfa plants requires that the soil be in excellent tilth at the time of plant ing. Many of the failures to secure a good stand may be ;traced directly to the Improper condition of the seed bed. The aim should he to get the soil fine ly pulverized, - thoroughly compacted and comparatively, free from weeds. The surface two or three inches should .be fine and . loose, and below this it should be sufficiently firm to favor the capillary, movement of water, yet por ous enough to permit -good' drainage and free, circulation of air through the soiL ' N ew D iscovery!

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbe last few years was supposed to be incurable. 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. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore reuires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

SEPTEMBER 12. 1917. Murderer Of Officer Campbell Gaught. Statesville, Sept. 4.—Gaither Campbell, deputy collector of Mocks- ville who was shot and mortally wouded by Jim Belk, a negro, at Poplar Springs camp grounds Jast Sunday afternoon, died here this afternoon at about 2 o’clock after being in an unconscious state for the last two days. Almost at the hour that death claimed its victim, Jim Belk who, it is alleged, did the shooting, surrendered to Iredell county officers. L. D. H. Brown from Salisbury was summoned and came to States ville early this morning with his two trained bloodhounds and was rushed to the supposed whereabouts of the fugitive. It is stated that the negro hearing that * bloodhounds were coming to run him down, de cided that he had better surrender and went to the home of Lee Shoe maker, about five miles gfrom Har mony and asked that they phone Sheriff Alexander that he was ready to surrender. At the time of the message Sheriff M. P. Alexander was out on the chase ane did not receive the mes sage until later, However, one of his deputies, E. V. Privette went to Shoemaker’s home and arrested the negro. Soon the word was received in Statesville that the negro was on his way to town and a largecrowd gath ered at the jail. The negro was badly frightened when he arrived and was placed in jail and begged Jailer 0. L. Wood- sides to put him in a cell upstairs instead of on the first floor. When he was interviewed by your corres pondent he stated that he had noth ing to say. except that he did not do all of the shooting; that there were several other negroes who were several other negroes who were shooting also, but he couid not-or would not give any names. It was reported that the feeling was running very high in mocksviile when word was received telling that Deputy Campbell had died of his wounds and fear was felt for the safety of the prisoner and rather than take any chances he was quitely removed from the jail tonight and taken to Charlotte for safe keeping bv Deputy Marshal John L. Millhol- Iand and Deputy 0. L. Woodsides. The negro was not shot at all as was first reported and when asked as to why he done the shooting re plied that he did not realize what he was doing. Two Examples J. Ogden Armour, a rich man of Chicago, said the government could have him, his company and his men. Kingdow Gould, a rich youDg man of Kew York, begged to be excused from going, into the Army because he bad a wife to support, and whom he had mar ried only a few weeks ago. The one exemplifies the highest spirit of American patriotism; the other seem to be a disciple of a schoi I which appears to have a small fol lowing in Korth Carolina, and it iB not hard to conclude which is the better citizens.—Charlotte Obser ver. .. DOUBLY PROVEN. Mocksviile Reader* Can No Longer Doubt The Evidence. This grateful citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief—of undoubted be nefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete—the evi dence conclusive. It forms convincing proof of merit. Mrs. Reavis, 212 Seventh St. States ville, N. C., says: “I was in bad-shape from pain across thd small of my back and over my ,kidneyB. I couldn’t sleep well and in the.mothiing I felt all tired out. My kidneys didmt act right; and I was nervous and dizzy. Doan's Kidney. Pills made me Well” OVER THREE YEARS LATER,. Mrs. Reavis added: “I back up every weird-of my former endorsement. Whenever my kidneys cause me any trouble, a few doses of Doan’s Kidney Pills give me relief. ” Price 60c, at all dealers. Doh’t . simply ask fora kidnev remedy—get Doan’s Kid- aev Pills—the same as Mrs. Reavis has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mil- burn Co, Mfgrs. Buffalo, N. Y. . NUMBER 9 Old Negro Woman Heroine. A rheumatic negro woman, well into middle age is South River’s candidate for a Carnegie medal and her name is “George Ann” Johnson, tentant on the home lands of this correspondent’s household. I .£“George Ann.” who of course isj in the stratum Georgianna, yester-' day was attracted by the outlandish i noise of a John Henry went flying down the road with the honk doing a perpetual pig squeal. The ma-i chine went first into a ditch, then a } cross the road, then back into the j ditch, emerging and turning over on j its driver, Miss Victoria Byerly of! Cooleemee. who was driving her; brother’s car, the machine owned by Dr. A. B. Byerly. The Automobile doubled up, smashed in its top and lay down on Miss Beyerly pinning her hands un der it so that she could not move them. The machinery was in gear and the wheels flew upside down in ungovernable rapidity. The old rheumatic George Ann hobbled down to the road, the machine had run into the middle of the turnpike at this point and somersaulted, and with a sort of superman strength, she turned the car over-and placed it on its feet. It was shoved into the ditch and Miss Byerly without injury was released. A little girl of six years had been thrown on the embankment and slightly hurt on the forehead. This pccured within sight of all of us who had us a country scare that comes but once or twice in a life time. The machine was shoved in- the road again and started off under its own steam, never having lost gears. It was little hurt except in the top.—Thos. W. Boat, in Greens boro News. ' War.

News From The State College Of Agriculture And Engineering.* Our new Commandant of Cadets will be Major Chalmers G. Hall, W pointer, and a native of North Garo- lina. Thegathering of farm boys and girls, members of various clubs, was by far the largest yet held here. In all there were about 600 of them, aud they all had a good profitable time at the college. One of the improvements which old students will welcome is the new laundry which will be in operation when college opens. The rates will be reasonable, in fact low. The; laundry will be located on the ground floor of the Textile Building at the East end. Sincethe close of school' last of May the college buildings have done almost continuos service. First the lady demonstrators under Mm, Mc.- Keown, then the Summer School, then the soldiers, then the boys and girls, and this week the Farmers’ Convention. Friends of the college all over the State are asking, what of the pros pects? Good, as far as Freshmen are concerned. We have lost heavi ly from the Junior and Senior class es. and to some: extent from the Sophomore class. It looks now as if we might have the largest Freshman class ever enrolled here. Registration Day is Thurday Sept.; 6th Classes will begin at 8 A. M. Friday, the 7tli. The name of every student regietered by 6 p. m. on Thursday, will be in the hands of all of his teachers bv 8:15 A. M. on Friday and work will begin for students and teachers without delay. New students should arrive at the; College on the 5th. — - — ~ : Hillsboro Street, from the north east corner of the college grounds to Tompkins Hall, is being made wider. About fifteen feet of the campus will be cut away. The, including side-walks, will be about sixty feet wide. A concrete sidewalk will be laid from the entrance to Primrose Hall and curb and gutter from the same point in the direction of Hol- laday Hall to the driveway at Jhe first entrance to the grounds. A new department^ that of voca tional education begins • with Fall' term. Prof. T. E. Browne is head of this new department. His assist ant will be Mr. L. E. Cooke of Cor nell University! Two courses will be offered in connection with the training of teachers for farm life schools, one extending through four years and leading to a degree, the other a one year apprentice teacher- training course. The demand for teachers of the technical branches is very strong. E. B. OWEN. Registrar. “Jones Pays The Freight” “Jones pay.a the freight,” wa6 formulated by a business gettei, bat the ,above sentence also applies to practically every line of business, Jones pays the freight, but as to who Jones is, is the question. As a rule the man that is doing I he buying is Mr. Jones in the caBe, and naturally he pays, the freight. There are many things that Americans have become past mas ters in one the worst abusgs of t£e community, during this day of high living is the delivery system that our' stores and dealers are forced to abide by. This delivery is costing each store a handsome sum each month in the year and and you can’t expect that store to to bear expense, consequently, Jones pays the freight. The following little incident il lustrates the delivery ptoblem, but this is different from most de livery problems, in that the merch ant paid the bill instead of the buyer, however, this is an excep tion. “ A man went into a hardware store and purchased a nickel’s worth of nails, asking to have the package delivered. The merchant called a -boy, handed him the par cel and a dime, and said: “Here, Sonny, take this package to Mr. Blank's house.” “ What!” cried the customer. ■Are you going to give the boy a dime to take that parcel up?” - “Certainly,” returned the mer chant; “I wouldn’t think of ask ing him to go for less.” “■Weil,” said the-meanest- man^ “ If you’ll give me my nickel back I’ll take the package myself and save you five cents.” This little incident, however, ouly shows that some one has to pay for the delivery of every article purcnased and ordered sent out. Naturally you can’t expect the groceryman to bear the expense and in 99 cases out of every 100 you are the “ Jones that pays the freight.” The system is wrong and the a- buse is costly, yet a change can only come through education and a change in our manner of buying. Make it a point to do your buy ing systematically and only once each day, or better still, every oth er day. If possible go to the store and carry your merchandise home. If everyone would do this the high cost of living would be greatly re duced and Jones would save the freight on those small deliveries. Statesville Sentinel.

The town, as well as the. local exemption board was thrown into a state of excitement when :it was learned that T. M. Stikeleather, a prominent citizen of North Iredell, had approached Dr. W. G. Nichol son of the exemption board' and tendered him ' $25, stating that same was sent by ar negro in his. employ for exemption. Dr. Nicholson was called from Iheexemption office in the court house building Monday morning by Mr. Stikeleather, who stated that there was a negro in his em ploy that had been working for him about six years, and he was an excellent negro and he wished that he could be exempted. Dr. Nicholson returned into the room very angry and was. followed by Mr. Stikeleather, who was ex plaining that be was only deliver-' ing the money sent by the negro. Dr. Nicfiolron refuses to make any statement and did not give the matter out at all, but it was given out by aGoiher member of the board. The information gathered is that Mr..Stikeleather offered Dr. NicholBon the $25 to get the* negro off, but be struck the wrong man. There were many comments and the main talk of the day. on the. streets was upon the subject. Much speculation as to the outcome ot the matter is going the rounds. Mr. Stikeleather is a prominent citizen of the county, and an offer of'this kind coming from a citizen of bis standing and education comes ,asfi^dfetinctSurwMft-Jthil-W .a nsogk regrettable occurrence.' r ' - - Dr. Nicholson states that he has no statement to give out, and says that he regrets the matter more than anyone else.

Re member the Government has guarn- teed a minium price of $2.00 per bushel for next year’s crop in case the war is still on there will be a good demand for wheat in care peace is declared. We want to ask you to carry out the above through our county papers. ' Yours Truly, HGRN-JOtiNSONE CO. The Record—best paper in Davie.

Campbell, three sisters and three brothers. The funeraljservices were attended by one of the largest crowds that has ever assembled in Davie county, and many faces were tear-stained before the services were concluded. The floral offerings were beautiful, and attested the high esteem in which Gaither was held by his many friends. No sad der death has ever occured in this section.

The organization, with headquarters in Mocksville. is not confined to the citizens of the town, but every man, woman and child in Davie i3 asked to join and thus help along a great and worthy cause. We notice that a number of ladies have been employed In a furniture factory at Mt. Airy to take the places made vacant by the Child Labor Law, which went into effect Sept 1st. The day is not far distant when ail the men will go fishing and do the cooking while the ladies will run the shops and factories Jand do the voting. Cheer up, brethern, the worst is yet to come. Our town has the sorriest mail facilities of any town this size in the State, so far as we know. A letter mailed at Statesville or any point between Barber and Chattanooga, any time this evening will not reach Mocksville jintil day after tomorrow. Even the ' old reliable Statesville Landmark reaches our desk over 24 hours late twice a week. Our busi ness men should get busy and ask for better mail service. ' We are en titled to it.'

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX, EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEE. Are yuo helping to supply the soldier boys with Gospels? Are you studying them yourself? "But it is a serious thing that there are so few minutes in the twenty-four hours when we can ^ause to think of God and the eternal issues of the life that we are living; for the thing we call civiliza tion sometimes absorbs and hurries whole populations to such an extent that they are constantly aware that they are not breathing the air of spirtual inspiration which is necessary for the expansion of their hearts and the salvation of their sons. This was the utterance of a profound heart-conviction by the President of the United States. Woodrow Wilson has written war mes sages to the American Congress and war messages to the American people. This is a war message to American soldiers and sailors. THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON. July 23, 1917. The Bible is the word of life. I beg that you will read it and find this out for yourselves—read not little snatches here and there, but long passages that will be the road to the heart of it. You will find it full of real men and women not only, but also of the things you have won dered about and been troubled about all your life,.as men have been always; and the more you read the more it will bill become plain to you what things are worth while and what are not, wnat things make men happy,—loyalty, right dealing, speaking the truth, readiness to give ev- .erything Jor what they think their duty, and, most of all, the wish that they may have the real approval of the Christ, who gave everything for them.—and the things that are guamteed to make men unhappy, —selfishness, cowardice, greed, and every thing that is low and mean. When yen have read the Bible you kuow that it is the Word of God. because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, aim your own duty. , WOODROW WILSON, V-Jv- .• • '• S a I i s b a r v N o r m - 1 & ' I r - * d u & tn a !

[LANSING EXPOSES BREACH OF SWEDISH NEUTRALITY Spring Wheat Shows Favorable In crease, Oat Crop Is Expected to Set a New Record Along Witfi Rye and Potatoes. Washington.—Corn, the country's greatest crop, needs only a few weeks freedom from frost to mature into the largest production ever known in the history of the nation. The govern ment's September crop report fore casts a production of 3,248,000,000 bushels, which is 124,000,000 bushels more than produced in the record year, 1912. Corn prospects improved to the ex tent of 53,000,000 bushels as a result of good weather during August, the Kansas crop showing improvement to the extent ot almost 40,000,000 bush els, and Missouri 23,000,000 bushels, ecllnes were recorded in other states. Spring wheat yields are turning out better than expected and the Septem ber forecast showed an increase of 14.000.000 bushels over the produc tion forecast in August with a total of 250.000.000 bushels. Adding the win ter wheat production, a total yield of 668.000.000 bushels ofwheat was an nounced. That is 28,000,000 bushels more than last year's harvest, but 138.000.000 bushels less than the aver age of the crops for the five years 1911-15. Besides the record crop of corn, larger production than ever before will be harvested in oats, with 1,533,- 000,000 bushels; rye with 56,000,000 busehls; white potatoes, with 462,- 000,000 bushels; sweet potatoes, with 88.200.000 bushels; tobacco, with 1,- 221.000.000 pounds, and hay, with 91,- 700.000 tons. Oats prospects increased 79,000.000 bushels during August but tobacco lost 49,000,000 pounds. Virginia 61,752,000 bushels; North Carolina 65,393,000; Georgia 71,344,- 000; Tennessee 117,273,000; Alabama 89,014,000; Mississippi 86,333,000; Louisiana 42,246.000; Texas 81,806,,- 000; Oklahoma 36261,000 and .Arkan sas 71,307,000.

KING WAS MURDERED Not a Material Amendment Was Add ed to the Bill By the House.—Total Amount Which is Authorized is $11,- 538,945,460. Washington.—The great war credits oill, authorizing $11,538,945,450 in , bonds and certificates, passed the i j House unanimously. Action by th e1 Senate as soon as the pending war I tax bill is disposed of is planned by j , administration leaders. I Not a material amendment was added to the bill by the House. Rep resentative Moore , of Pennsylvania, led a group of republicans in a futile fight for consideration of his proposal for a war expenditures committee, which was thrown out on a point of order. Every effort of republicans to limit the control the bill would give Secre tary McAdoo over the bonds and cer tificates resulted in failure. The last fight, made by Representative John son, of Washington, to direct the sec retary to spend at least $2,500,000 for newspaper advertising in disposing of the bonds, was defeated overwhelm ingly. If the secretary desires under the measure, he may use some of the $17,600,000 appropriated for disposing of all the bonds and certificates in j newspaper publicity. | Representative Cannon, of Illinois, [ obtained the adoption of a compro mise amendment to exempt from tax ation forever interest on bonds not in excess of $5,000. He wanted to make it $10,000, but Democratic Leader Kitchin would not agree. The bill authorizes the issuance of $7,538,945,460 worth of convertible 4 ; per cent bonds, ,subject to super-taxes and war profits taxes, and to termi nate at the discretion of the secre tary of the treasury. Of this total, $4,000,000,000 worth is for a new al. lied loan; $3,000,000,000 worth to take over a 3 1-2 per cent issue already au- i thorized and the remaining $528,945,- 460 to be used for inverting certain outstanding bonds, including the Dan ish West Indies, Alalkan railway, Pan ama »"»> and naval construction issues. . ^ M- | Develops Another Case, of Sinister Teutonic Diplomacy. Washington.—Copies of three brief !dispatches made public by the state I department revealed another case of sinister German diplomacy, this time directed against Argentina ar.d InvoIv- Ling the Swedish foreign' office in an (apparent grave breach of neutrality I and diplomatic propriety. They were messages to Berlin from ! Count Luxburg, the German charge at I Beunos Aires, forwarded by the Swed- [ ish legation there as its own commuii- (ications. Besides advising that no I concessions be granted Argentina in ; the submarine controversy, they sug gest that the South American coun- \ try’s ships be sunk “without leaving I any trace” and gave information as to the sailing and positions of certain ; vessels. The department’s announcement was sent to the Argentine embassy 1 and the Swedish legation here at the same time it was given to the public. There was no explanation as to how the messages came into’the hands of the United States nor discussion as to what may be the result. The action crealea a sensation, par ticularly among the neutral diplomats. Baron Akerhielm; the Swedish charge in the absence of advices from his gov ernment, would not comment further than to say it was improbable the Swedish minister at Buenos Aires I knew of the contents of the dis patches. Axel Robert Nordvall of the special Swedish economic mission, de clared that he was certain that Baron Lowen, the Swedish minister to Argen tina, had no knowledge of the contents of the dispatches. ^ May Recall Baron Lowen. Mr. Nordvall was of the opinion that Baror; Lowen would be recalled by the Swedish government and said he looked for an explanation and a disavowal of any intention to commit •an unneutral act. What effect the disclosure will have on Argentina’s relations with Germany could only be guessed at both by state department officials and by Ambassador Nann. The ambassa dor already has transmitted messages to his government and until !Instruc tions are received he will not comment on the incident.

PRESIDENT WILSON PLACES EMBARGO ON GOLD EXPORT RUSSIANS FLEE V/HILE - ITALIANS HOLD AUSTRIANS German Fieet Is Active as Slavs are Pressed from Riga. The Russians and Austro-Italian theaters continue the centers of inter est, in the world war. In the former the Germans are still pressing the Russians in their retreat from the Riga region; in the. latter the forces j of General Cadorna continue to harass ' the Austrians but with the enemy of-1 fering stout resistance on the major j sectors—north and northeast of Geor gia and along the Oarso plateau. With the Russian front already brok en over a distahce of about 45 miles between Riga and Friedrichstadt, the province of Livonia is fast being over run by the Germans. Everywhere the enemy is pressing the retreating Rus sians, among whom the disaffection that permitted the easy taking of Riga daily becomes more apparent. Although the Ru.isians -have fallen back with great speed all along the line ,it"seems evident that they have not bee nput to roat and thta the loyal troops are fighting splendid rear-guard actions. This seemingly Is borne out by the fait that the German bag of prisoners thus far has been less than eight thousand and their capture in guns only 180. The Italian commander-in-chief, General Cadorna, continues his reti- | cence concerning the operation he 1 has in view against the Austrians, his latest communication merely announc ing the continuatir.0 of the heavy fighting northeast of Georgia, and .the repulse on the Carso plateau, south I of the Brestovizza Valley, .of strong Austrian counter-attacks.

The previous record was 9,524 feet, made at North Island, Cal.; by Floyd Smith, ,February 11. I?*6; Washington.—Enlisted men are to be • given special opportunities to be commissioned officers. Secretary Baker said that the establishment of a third series of officers’ training camps was under consideration and that men seelcted under the draft would be extended such opportunities to enter that a majority of those en rolled probably would be from the ranks. This policy will be adhered to in all training camps.

Federal Food Administration Plans to Aid Horticulturists Market Great Fruit Crop Among American People. Word has gone forth that America must use all.of her great apple crop this year in order to save wheat and meat for the support of our allies in war against Germany. Uncle Sam is taking keen interest in the'fruit har vest of i917, because it is vital to vic tory, and Oirough the food administra tion is planning a vast “consumer cam paign” that will create an unpre cedented demand for apples for home use, This year’s apple crop calls for in telligent handling. The latest govern ment reports Indicate a crop of about 190,000,000 bushels. That is a little below normal. Good prices are assured for all honestly • packed, first quality apples, and also for honestly packed, selected second grades, which govern ment experts say can be put into stor age. When the crop is big it does not pay to store second grades, but this year, despite the fact that we cannot ship our usual 2,000,000 barrels of ap ples abroad, because shipping space is precious^ we should be able to get fair prices'for all good apples at home. Cireless packing of poor quality fruit has always been one of the chief causes of market instability and un satisfactory prices to the growei’3. This year the whole apple industry is co-operating to remove this market handicap. There has never been an apple year such as this one is going to be. Growers have never been able to get. together and engage and finance a national educational .'campaign auiong consumers to increase apple consumption. This year the situation makes It necessary for the United States government, through the food administration, to conduct a consum er’s campaign of publicity on behalf ot the apple. This campaign will begin while the crop is being sent to market, and will probably continue until the last apple is eaten up late next spring. So the grower has three great incen tives for grading, packing and storing this crop with especial care. 1. It is a good crop and calls for care. 2. The government will encourage apple eating and apple, storage and ------- H . . — y»-.—. - , •-----_ the price abnormally. 3. We musf eat up at home more than two million barrels of apples,' which would ordinarily be exported, To get the best of the crop to the market in prime condition it must be picked carefully at the time of ma turity and promptly cooled in tem porary storage, and then • skillfully graded and packed. Second-grade fruit should not go into barrels or boxes. If it cannot be -marketed In bulk [n near-by consuming centers, then it should be worked up into by products along with the- culls. There has been a gratifying' im provement In apple marketing the past two or three years. Western apples are boxed to strictly honest standards, by the great co-operative growers’ or ganizations. In Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Colorado. The eastern barrel apple has also been wonderfully Improved In New York and other states. Because apples are honestly packed and give the best pos sible value for the money, there is an increase in the consumer demand. Re tail merchants who were formerly al most afraid to buy apples in barrels, because they were not sure of getting marketable values for their money, are now buying freely and in confi dence. ' This good work makes it pos sible for the, government to go further and encourage the use of apples as a war-time food measure. Because the bulk of the crop will bd picked by volunteer workers this year, and put into common storage until the grower can find time to grade and pack, there will-be an opportunity to give closer personal attention to Ihe grading and packing than might be the case if the crop were handled as In pence times. For the grower -who de- Bires Instructions in apple packing, the department of agriculture at Washi ington has information in bulletin form. These bulletins can be secured free by writing to the department Growers will do well to obtain a few copies for their pickers and packers.

FOR THIHU SUCCESSIVE DAY , Attempted to Stop Cadorna’s Further Teutons Approach to Trieste.—Nearly 1,700 Men Have Been Captured By ItaTi Ians in Corizia. While the' Russians continue their flight before the Germans in the re gion of Riga, the Italians, after a few days of comparative idleness, again have started their great offensive on the Bainzizza plateau against the Austrains and to the northest of Gorizia. • In the -south,, however, from the Brestovizza valley to the sea, the Ital ians have been compelled to with stand violent counter-attacks by the Austrians, who are endeavoring to bold back General Cadorna’s lines from a further approach to Triest. The Austrians at one place momenta rily forced the Italians to cede ter ritory. A counter-attack by he Ital ians not alone retrieved the lost po sition but resulted in the capture of more than 400 prisoners. On the Bainzizza plateau, northeast of Go rizia, the Italians have made further gains, capturing an important Aus- train position near Ocrogio. No details have been vouchsafed concerning the battle which is in progress northeast of Gorizia, and no confirmation is at hand of the re ported capture by the Italians of Monte San Gabriele, the last dominat ing position held by' the Austrians north of Gorizia. Nearly 1,700 men have been cap tured by the Italians in the flighting in the Gorizia sector. Again , the Italians have sent their airmen over Pila, the Austrian, naval base in the Adariatic, dropping bombs, the explosions of which have added materially to the damage done in pre vious -raids. In the region of Riga the Russians are retiring eastward and noitheast- ward all along the line, pursued by the Germans. Have SENATE’S BITTER PROFITS .

Washington. — The Senate’s bitter fight over war profits taxation virtual ly, ended with adoption of the finance committee’s compromise provisions for a total levy of $1,286,000,000 or about one-third of this year’s war and nor mal excess profits. This is an increase of $1,060,000,000 over present taxes. The high-tax ad vocates failed to secure adoption of a single amendment. Action on the war profits, section the largest revenue-producing provi sion, w as taken technically In com mittee of the whole and is subject to final review later. Today’s decisive rout of the high-tax element, however, may prevent further efforts along this line and Senate leaders say it fore casts defeat for the fighting for heav ier income taxes. - With adoption of finance commit tee’s war profits provisions—increased by the committee from $562,000,000 to $1,060,000,000 after the high-tax sena tors began their fight—the bill totals $2,522,000,000, near which figure it is expetted to remain. Many senators, however, predict ultimate elimination of consumption taxes aggregating $86- 000,000; second class mail increases of $12,600,000; freight taxes of $77,500,- 000 and stamp taxes on parcel post packages estimated Jo yield about $8,000,000. In the contest between those advo cating and opposing higher taxation of war profits, which has approached high levels of Senate dissension, the largest muster of the high-tar group Was 29 votes. This came today on an amendment of Senator Johnson of Cal ifornia to increase the maximum grad uated rate from 60 to 70 per cent. Supporting it were; Democrats: Ashurst, Beckham, Broussard, Chamberlain, Fletcher, Hollis,• Husting, Johnson, South Da kota; King, Kirby, McKellar, Myers,.

Republicans: Gorah Brady, Gronna, Johnson California; Jones of Washing ton; Kenyon LaFollette McNary Nor ris and Sutherland—10. Total 29. As now written into the bill Jhe war profits section strikes out the House provisions for an additional tax of $200,000,000. London.—Another aid raid on Eng land has taken place.

Washington, long used to glittering processions, to the blare and noise of inaugurations, opened its eyes -and cheered itself hoarse at the spectacle. For two hours, while In other cities throughout the nation other thou sands moved over the first part of the long road that may lead to French battlefields, Pennsylvania avenue heard the tramp of marching men, the jingle of spurs and the rumble ot arUUery. About 26,000 men, women and chil dren, passed a reviewing stand before the white house where .the' President and his guests watched the parade^ More than half ot the long line wa9 In uniform. There were regulars from infantry, cavalry and artillery regi ments stationed nearby, marines, men from the officers’ training camp at Fort Myer, and hundreds of army and. navy officers attached to the depart* • ments here. From the corner of Fifteenth street, where Pennsylvania Avenue turns around the treasury, the long mile to’ the foot of capitol' hill, was one stream of flags in the breeze. Kept at Salute. The President and those In the stand with him were kept at salute continually. No one of the dozens of officers-of foreign armies and navies overlooked the tribute due the em blem of the great reupblic that has lined up on their side to make the WlOrid safe for the principles on which it was founded .

OISPiITGHES FROM RIItEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. * Raleigh. The State Library Commission se lected Col. Alex J. Feild, editor of the State Journal, as state librarian, pend ing a general reorganization and co ordination of the library interests of the state by the next general assembly in consolidating the legislative refer ence library, the state library and the state library commission under one management. The commission cut the salary of the state librarian from $1,700 to $1,250 and applied the remainder of this salary fund to increasing the sala ries of Miss Carrie Broughton, first assistant librarian, to $1,100, and that of the second assistant,' Miss King, from $500 to $800. There were quite' a number of applicants for the place. It is understood that Colonel Feild will retin his control and editorship of The State Journal. He has always been keenly interested in library n>' n- Bgement and has the distinction of having started and successfully oper ated about the first circulating local library in the state. This was at Ox ford, while he was teaching school there right after he came out of school. Bigger Better Babies’ Contest. The biggest Better Babies’ contest ever held in the state and probably in the South will be held here at the state fair next month, October 15-20. For this purpose a wing or section of the new Woman’s building, recently constructed and used this season for the first time, has been set apart and specially equipped. The interest of the babies has been well looked after in the new building, and their pres ence with that of their mothers is counted on as being one of the biggest features of this year’s fair. The babies are already enrolling. Miss Mae Reynolds, who is secretary of the Better Babies’ contest, is re ceiving applications and requests for information almost daily and says that such interest in the contest has not been shown this early before. The names of one-hlaf dozen fine babies have already been .placed on the list. The contest will be again under the management of the Woman’s Club of Raleigh, with Mrs. W. A. Withers as chairman. The same rules and regu lations as those governing the contest last year and previous years will be observed this year. Babies from six to thirty-six months old will be admit ted and the same system of making the examinations and keeping the scores will be used. The services of expert physicians ,baby specialists, and trained nurses will be secured. S. A. L. Allowed to Curtail. Big delegations from Sanford, Ham let, Cary, Raleigh and Oxford were in Raleigh for the hearing before the cor poration commission in the matter of the request of the Seaboard Air Line that it be allowed to take off the Ral- eigh-Charlotte shoo-fly train service and change materially the Henderson- Oxford service. The hearing began at 3 o’clock and W. L. Stanley, represent ing the Seaboard Air Line, presented the reasons for the request, explaining that the necessity of contributing the company’s part to the government de mands for troop movement and special freight service, really necessitated the curtailment of the train ------‘Mr. Stanley believed that the pa triotism .of the people of North Caro lina would constrain them in the face of necessity to go back to the ser vice of the mixedtrains and box cars if the requirements of the war necessita ted such a thing. He believed thai we are just on the threshhold'ot the war demands and that train curtailment is really in its inception. The saving of not a penny or a paltry dollar was involved in the curtailment asked, he said, but simply necessities of the hour in serving the country in its hour of need for waging the war. There must be 30,000 men of the national guard moved at once by the Seaboard requiring 6,000 cars, and this is only the beginning of the movement. The Oxford delegation agreed to the proposed changes in the Oxford- HenderSon-Burham service and the commission indicated that a probable solution of the Raleigh-Charlotte ser vice would be that the Raleigh-Char- Iotte shoo-fly.will be taken off and the Raleigh-Norlina shoo-fly run extended to Hamlet and that this with a double daily service between Charlotte and Hamlet will meet the transportation necessities and give the Seaboard an additional engine and car for troop movement. The commission wants it understood that there is no intention of disturbing the present Charlotte- Rutherfordon shoo-fly service. Btate Denial Bqard Announced. Announcement was made by W. H. G. Logan of the War Department that-North Carolina's Dental Examin ing Board , consists of Drs. F. L. Hunt of Asheville, J. H. Wheeler of Greens boro and J. Morris Fleming of Raleigh.

College. The North Carolina State College of . Agriculture and Engineering opened with a registration of freshmen equal to last year’s registration and with a slight decrease in the number of old students. Exact figures were not available, but it was estimated by President Riddick that the registration would exceed the expectations of the officials. However, it is not believed that the enrollment will exceed 800! New Charters Granted.

Chicago, which means, freight added, approximately $2.40. It is a crime, under the law to exact more; it can not sell for less, because the govern ment will pay that price for it. The price of the 1918 crop is fixed by the Food AcL Approved August 10th, at not less than $2.00, Chicago—which means $2.20 in North Carolina. It can not be less, this much is guaranteed; it may be more. It would therefore seem clear that we can produce in North Carolina a much larger crop of wheat than we have been producing --at a profit. Every consideration of humanity would urge us to do all we can (whether at a profit or a loss) to keep fed a hungry world. In many countries women and children are dying of hunger; many thousands every week. Patriotism calls for "Special Effort” each of us in the sphere of activity for which we are best fitted, and thou sands of us here in North Carolina can best' do our war bit in the line of food production and food saving. Let us double our wheat acreage this year: It will pay us in dollars andFirst: cents. Second: It will help to save mil lions of starving people. Third: It is our line of- service — , <k uviiurete ana worth while expression of patriotism. I wonder if every minister in North Carolina who preaches weekly to land owners will, for the next three or four Sabbaths', briefly urge his people to this duty? State is Best Hog Market. “North Carolina farmers .have a bet ter market for hogs than the farmers of the Central'West have." This strik ing declaration was made by Mr. L. W. Shook, of Edgecombe county, who was in attendance at the State Farm ers’ Convention. Mr. Shook ought to know what he is talking about be cause he raises and sells several car loads of hogs every year. The Rich mond and Baltimore markets pay 50c. to 75c. per hundred -pounds more for hogs than the Chicago markets, ac cording to Mr. Shook’s observation. It will surprise most North Carolina people to know that farmers of Edge combe county have Bhipped during the last twelve months twenty carloads of hogs. A carload of hogs, geenrally 80 to 100 head, at present prices is worth from $3,000 to $4,000, depending upon the weights - of the animals. The twenty carloads shipped by Edge combe farmers were sold at an aver age of 15 or 16c. a pound, netting the farmers of the county approximately $50,000. It is the opinion of live stock men that it will be a long time be fore the, price of hogs drops much below the present level of $20 a hun dred. North Carolina farmers are prepar ing to take advantage of the high price of hogs by largely increasing the number of hogs produced upon' their farms, old breeders enlarging their herds and farmers who heretofore have paid little or no attention to hog raising establishing herds. • Agricul tural and livestock exports, however, are warning both classes of breeders to plant for their hogs forage crops which may be planted at this time and grazed during the winter and spring. Crops suitable for this purpose are rape ,clover, vetch, and rye and other small grains. The profits that may be derived' from hogs are great where they are raised largely on pasturage, but it has been demonstrated that hogs cannot be profitably raised by the lot method. Experts Urge Saving Seed. The North Carolina Agricultural Ex tension Service is emphasizing upon the people of the state the necessity of saving seed for planting purposes. This, too, in spite of the fact that acreage -of a number of crops, during the present year, had to be curtailed because of the high prices which had to be paid for seed.. Good seed of recommended varie ties, .grown and acclimated to the home section yield better where they have been properly seelcted than dt other seed.

The whole period of Ole’s residence In Alaska is plastered over with a net work of overlapping and interlocking ills such as cloudbursts, destructive windstorms, stock diseases, depreda tions of wild animals and other disas trous incidents which would drive the ordinary man to distraction, but which Ole accepts without complaint and in the firm conviction that they are visi tations from Providence in punishment for sins of commission or omission; al though if Ole ever committed a really wrongful act in his life it is unknown to his neighbors. Recently a mosquito perched unex pectedly on Ole’s nose, whereupon a well-directed blow from his ham-like palm effectually disembodied the spirit of the mosquito, but unfortu nately broke Ole’s nose. Dr: J. H. Romig, the physician In attendance, says that Ole will be about his busi ness again in a few days, but with a nose robbed of its original symmetry, and a firm conviction that the pe culiar misfortune was a direct rebuke from providence for his avarice—Ole having been tempted by the sinfully high prices, prevailing and prospective, to plant 20 acres of potatoes, a pre viously unheard of acreage in Alaska., Bear Upon Him. Five years ago while returning to his ranch from a trading visit to Seward Ole unexpectedly came upon a brown bear and her cub at'a turn of the trail on Resurrection river and, being wise to the general habits of brown bears, knew it was folly to run, partic ularly as he had a heavy pack, upon •uts- nacK.-- as Something just had. to happen to Ole it shows lack of both understanding and imagination on the part of those neighbors who criticize his action in hurling at the mother Came Upon a Brown Bear and Her Cub. bear the bundle of papers he was car rying in his hand. Ole merely beat the bear in the start of the affair by a shade, for, according to his own vis ion, the bear was upon him before his arm was lowered from the throw. • Some time later Harry Hoben and Jim Davis came along the trail and were greatly surprised when they final ly discovered that Ole’s heart was still beating, and more surprised an hour later when he regained consciousness. These two good Samaritans rigged up a kind of litter and packed Ole into Seward to Doctor RomigtS office. Doc tor Romig was not surprised at Ole’s arrival; never is save when Ole ar rives intact Possibly the most peculiar of the innumerable accidents which have be fallen Ole occurred last summer on the ranch of Erick Lucas. Lucas was having some land cleared and Ole was on the job In pursuance of a work- swapping agreement with Neighbor Lucas, when he sank his double bitted axe in a spruce log in an effort to split i t The log did not split and the axe was so deeply Imbedded that the handle was useless in removing it. Whereupon Ole picked up a dub to knock it out and succeeded at the first blow. Unfortunately the axe glanced against the Mde of an adjacent tree, rebounded to another tree, and then boomeranged back to Ole, striking him on the side, and besides cutting him severely, again,broke one of those four ribs Doctor Romlg fixed up aftiai the bear episode.

A TImlling War Story of the North Atlantic “THE BEST SEA STORY IN TEN YEARS” Sn quoting that statement made by one of the most widely known book reviewers in the country about “Contraband,” we can best intro- due; tMs new serial to our readers. Certainly it is a tale for men and women whose arteries carry red blood. It is as full of adventure as an airplane battle over the trenches in northern France. Its romance is as beautiful as a night in midsummer when the moon is round, the mist silvery and the air laden with the odor of honeysuckle. Too, in “Contraband” you will get a plot composed of strong lines and char acterization as vivid as human beings can be. We need say no more. Just read on— The Editor. CHAPTER I. A Yacht Party. So many items bearing upon those sirange adventures which have lately ItffaHen me have found publication in i lie newspapers, oftentimes distorted ;uni untrue, and resulting in letters of inquiry from friends, induce me now to write out the tale while the inci- iioiits remain fresh in memory. In- tVed, I owe the truth not only to my- jelf hut even more to her who so uravel.v shared with me those days and nights of peril. The earlier passion of my life was the sea, and, when others of my age were grinding away through their courses in college, I was apprenticed to the merchant service in a fleet owned by my father, trading between New Tork and northern European ports. Loving the work, and, poss'ibly, assisted by the fact that I was my father’s sons, I rose rapidly, until licensed as captain of steam, and as signed to command the Yulcan1 a freighter of 3,000 tons. At thirty, how ever, the novelty and fascination of a sea life ceased its attraction, and when' my father died sufficient property be came my share from the estate to en able my resigning this command, and retiring permanently from the service. Circumstances, unnecessary now to re late, caused me to make permanent home in Chicago, where I soon became engrossed in business, finding my sole recreation In yachting upon, the Great Lakes. Such were the rather com monplace surroundings of my life, when, at thirty-seven, adventure sud denly called me out into the unknown. Nothing could have been more unex pected than the occasion which took me to New York. Carrington—Gerald Carrington, the Copper King—had just placed his new steam yacht; the Esme ralda, in commission, and was eager to christen it by a run across to the ports of Spain. He wrote urging me to become one of the party. The temp tation was irresistible, for, as I knew Mrs. Carrington was In Europe, the guests on board would undoubtedly all be men, and probably congenial fel lows. A bachelor myself, the long hours at sea had left me unaccustomed to the society of women, whose presence I avoided whenever possible. Hence, I accepted Carrington’s invitation im mediately by wire, hastily packed the few things necessary for the trip, and, unaccompanied even by a valet, caught the Twentieth Century for New York.. Carrington lived on Long Island, and I talked with him on the phone.- There were to be twelve in the party, the naroes of two, who were former ac quaintances, alone ^being mentioned in our brief conversation. The yacht was lying at Tompkinsville, provisioned, and ready for the .sea. I must be on board by three o’clock the following (lay, and he gave me quite explicit in structions as to the best mode of reach ing the vessel. An accident to the ferry caused me to miss the local train which I bad an ticipated taking the next morning, and I was consequently the last of our yachting party to arrive at Tompkins ville. The others were already, safely aboard when I hurried across the gang plank, to receive- the cordial welcome of Carrington, who immediately or dered the vessel under way. The guests must have been gathered on the upper deck, enjoying the excitement of departure, for I caught no glimpse of anyone on board, excepting some mem bers of the crew, as the steward led me to the cabin assigned to my use (luring the voyage. Even the brief view I.had obtained’ of the boat impressed me strongly, both with its beauty and seagoing Qualities. I was sailor enough to ap preciate all this at a glance. The !Osmeralda was a steain yacht, schoo- Ker rigged aloft, of over fifteen bun? (■red tons, constructed for de'ep-water ( raising, well manned, and able to com bat the storms of any ocean. I opened the door and emerged" into the main cabin. It was deserted, ex- coiit for a waiter or two attired in ■vliite jackets who had covered a long table suspended by stanchions from the deck beams above, and were spreading it with snowy linen in preparation for the six o’clock meal. N&ver had I seen a more cozy, homelike interior. Forward, an open passage, guarded only by silently swinging doors, led to the steward’s pantry, and various storerooms beyond, while beside this opeD’ag a broad, brass-railed stairway » * ^asily t0 ^le bPPct deck. Sunlight Wttched the edge of the companlonwaf* and flickered down through a half opened skylight above, yielding cheer fulness to the scene, yet Inviting to the open air. I would meet those with whom I was destined to companion on this voyage across summer seas. No passengers were visible on the deck, yet this mystery was soon ex plained as I stepped to one side and glanced aft. The cabin projection was not high, yet sufficiently so to break the force of the headwind, and besides was far enough advanced to give ample deck space at the stern. Here an awning had been erected, and beneath its shelter were gathered the vessel’s guests. I recognized but three in the group — Carrington, red-faced and white-haired, a cigar gripped in his teeth, giving some instructions to the steward; Fosdick, ' tall, slim, thin lipped, a lawyer well known to cor porations who desired to keep just within legal restrictions, sat at a table, his hand fingering a half-filled glass while he talked to the men opposite; and McCann, fat, good-natured, born to his father’s millions, who amused himself by the pretense of being a broker, interrupting the game of cards in which he was engaged with three others, to tell the latest story of the street. Personally I cared little for either of these men, yet had known both, in a way, for some time. The others, judging from the outward ap pearances, had been recruited from about the same class—business ac quaintances of Carrington no doubt iWent forward, greeting thoac aWhom I knew, and being duly presented to the others. Whatever they might have been in a . business way, and for that I cared absolutely nothing; they proved them selves a most companionable bunch of fellows to meet The memory of that first meal in the snug after .cabin of the Esmeralda re mains a most pleasant recollection. The cabin had been, darkened, and the soft light of a swinging lamp gleamed back from snowy damask and glitter ing silver. The center was banked with flowers, the service was perfection, and the chef was evidently a genius. We lingered over the wine and cigars, the conversation drifting where it would. I believe I was among the first to leave the table and return outside, and as my inclination was to remain alone and enjoy the calm of the night, I ven tured forward along the deserted deck, until I found fancied security from ob servation in the shadow of a small boat. The others, as they emerged later from the companion, outlined a moment against the light, turned once again aft, and resumed their old places. Nothing occurred to break the mo notony, and finally, wearying of it all, I V. “Anything Going Wrong?" I Asked. went below, being in no mind to join at games with the others. I was soon asleep.Some dormant sense of seamanship, aroused to new life, perhaps, by my. brief watch on deck, must have awak ened me. For I sat up in bed, con scious that the vessel’s motion had ceased. AU was 1Silent; no ja? shook the keel, no footsteps sounded on the deck above. I switched on the electric light, and glanced at my watch; it was slightly after midnight. Through the open port nothing was visible but the dark waters, , and the far-off gleain of a Meltf, alternating in flashes of white. I did not Isnow enough of this coast line to identify the signal, yet it was plainly evident we were some distance from land. Why the Esmeralda had stopped her engines was no special concern of mine, and I lay down again. But sleep would not return. I tossed and turned, and finally arising in sheer desperation, hastily donned my clothes. The after cabin was deserted, dimly lighted by one shaded electric globe, beneath which the brass stair rails shone dully. I emerged on the deck, gratefully breathing in the fresh night air. As I stood there, a man descended the lad der from the bridge, entered the chart- house and switched on a light. In the momentary gleam I recognized- the face of the second officer, and when he final ly came out again, I crossed the deck so as to intercept him. “Anything going wrong, Mr. Seeley?” I asked. “You have stopped the en gines.” He stared at me through the dark, blinded still perhaps by.the glare of the chartroom, and unable to recog nize my strange voice. Yet he was a yachtsman, trained above all to cour tesy. “Nothing serious, sir,” he announced, civilly enough. “The engines are new, and not well adjusted yet; a bit of shaft went wrong, and has to be re paired.” He turned away, but at that instant my eyes caught the flashing of a bea con away off to the southeast “What light is that out yonder, Mr. Seeley? We must be well beyond Ea ton?” He glanced in the direction indi cated. ’ “Those white flashes? That is Old field point, sir. Are you acquainted with these waters?” “Not intimately, although I retain some memory of the charts. I saw merchants’ service on the old Atlas line.” “A fine line that,” he acknowledged heartily. “I made my- first voyage, as cabin boy, on the Mohawk. You are Mr. Hollis, I presume, sir. I overheard Mr. Carrington tell Captain Turner you were to Imj one of the party aboard. Well, good night, sir; I must make certain the watch is awake.” He touchied his cap courteously, and disappeared beneath the shadow of the bridge, leaving me again alone, unde cided whether to return below, or en deavor to walk off my sleeplessness. I scarcely know what idle curiosity led me to stroll along the narrow deck space, around the cabin to the loung ing place at the stern.' I stopped sud denly in surprise, staring across at the opposite rail, questioning the evidence of my own eyes. There, clearly out lined in the star glimmer,' was plainly revealed the figure of a woman. Some instinct of fear, or, perchance, a slight sound of approach, must have apprised her of my near presence, for she turned instantly toward me, bending slightly forward, her face visible In the shad ow.; and. then, before I could either move or speak, she fled along the port rail, vanishing immediately behind the protection of the cabin. I felt sure that her parted lips had uttered a quick exclamation, and her startled ef fort at escape was sufficient to urge me to pursue. Who could she be? Why was she here on board the Esme ralda? Above all, why should she be so eager to escape' observation? I ran forward across the deck, and quickly explored the passage between the cabin and rail. It was clearly vis ible in the bright starlight, but the swiftly fleeing figure had totally van ished. I reached the steps of the com panion, and gazed down through the glass doors. The light below revealed nothing, the cabin remained quiet and deserted. Not a shadow rewarded my search, either on the open deck, or be low. Yet-surely this was no-dream, no hallucination, no mere vision of the night. The woman had actually been there; I had seen her plainly enough; had even heard the echo of her voice. There was then a woman on board— a woman who sought to hide from ob servation ; who ventured on deck only when she thought it entirely deserted, and who fled in fright from discovery. I. even felt a vague Impression of her personality—she was young, slender of form, dressed in some shimmering gray stuff, a light, fluffy scarf conceal ing her hair. There was nothing more to do then, although I prowled about for some time peering into dark corners, and turning the matter over and over in my mind. It must have'been nearly daybreak before I fell asleep again In my own stateroom, nor did I awaken until the steward announced the last breakfast call, by a vigorous rapping on my door. Carrington was seated alone at the table when I entered the cabin, linger ing over his coffee, and he remained to keep me company, seemingly in a gen ial mood In Spite of the delay. He lit a cigar,' and leaned comfort ably back in his chair, looking amiably across at me through the blue haze of smoke. 4lRather nice bunch of fellows for: a cruise, don’t you think?” “Quite so, although I only knew two previously.” ■ “Yes—Fosdick and McCann. The others are either bankers or brokers;* fellows I meet every day or so in my business, you know. You have never done much in stocks?” I shook my head. “My business education was in an entirely different school,” I said qui etly, ignoring his lead.. “My father never speculated.” “I know his feelings on that subject,” and Carrington chuckled, as though at a pleasant memory. “I never advocate speculation myself, but have never shown any qualms of conscience against betting on a sure thing. Per haps we can discuss this later—before our voyage ends.” “This, then, is more of a business than a pleasure trip, sir?” He laughed, watching the smoke rings rise lazily in the air. “Well, hardly that, my boy. My hos pitality is not to be so strictly limited. “I Imagined I saw a woman on the deck last night, when I ventured out to learn why the engine had stopped. No doubt it was an illusion.” “It surely must have been,” his voice evidencing surprise, “for I give you my word there is not a woman on this yacht. What, to your mind, did the creature look like?” “Nothing at all definite', a mere out line in the gleam of the stars. It may have been an odd combination of shadow, but, at the time, I felt con vinced the vision was actually flesh and blood.” Carrington laughed heartily. “Dismiss it, my boy,” he said, his hand gripping the brass rail. “We may indeed have ghost women on board, but no flesh and blood ones. Better join us on deck, and let the sun and wind clear your brain—perhaps the champagne caused the mischief?" “Hardly,” I answered, adopting his mood, “as I did not touch any. How ever, I will join you presently.” I watched him disappear through the companion, stirring my coffee noncha lantly enough. Yet I was not satisfied; Carrington did not know, possessed no suspicion; nevertheless I remained convinced there was a woman on board the Esmeralda.

It may interest, you to know that a cop per pool is being organized.” “I suspected as much; you have some news?” “Exceedingly important news. Lis ten, Hollis, this is strictly confidential and worth your thinking It over. Only two men on board know the truth. There will be war in Europe—the big gest war ever known in history—within a month. Do you realize what that will mean, for instance, to copper?” “I can imagine, sir. But if we -are on the verge of such a sudden rise in market value, why do you leave New York for a long voyage?” Carrington smiled, stroking his gray mustache. “A natural question, perhaps coming from one not acquainted with my methods,” he answered good-humored- ly. “Because I prefer to be thought out of it. Everybody on the street Is aware that I am at sea. I thus escape being interviewed, Importuned for Information. I am unsuspected of being where I .can manipulate the mar ket. The Esmeralda is equipped with a powerful-wireless outfit, and we have on board the most expert operator to be procured in New York. I shall be in direct communication with my office every hour of the day and night. Tomorrow, once safely beyond Point Judith, I shall explain my plan; mean while, Hollis, think it over.” He turned toward the stairs, but I stopped him, more deeply interested In something else than-in his rather vague financial scheme. The girl on board; was it possible she could have any con nection with this affair? "By the way,” I spoke with an as sumption of carelessness, “Mrs. Car-- rington, I understand, is at present in Europe?” "Yes, in Switzerland; I have cabled her that she had better return as -far as London at once.” “You seem very confident as to the truth of your advices.”- ‘T am; I know the men who have reported to me.” “I see; and consequently there are no women on board?” .“Women?” He made a swift, expres sive gesture. “Certainly not. I wrote you to that effect, I believe; at least I so instructed my secretary. This voyage is primarily a husiness affair. .Why should yon ask that question, Hollis?

CHAPTER II. I Meet the Mystery. Before the evening meal had ended— the party still lingering in the cozy quarters below over their coffee and cigars—the yacht once again got under way, and steamed slowly eastward down the Sound. It was already dusk when we returned to the deck and resumed card playing beneath the awning, elec tric lights sparkling overhead. I never recall a softer, sweeter air. The men behind me were again discussing th« war news, but their voices scarcely reached my ears. Once I leaned for ward, observing the red and green lights of an. approaching steamer, as our siren spoke, but was altogether too negligent to cross the deck and watch the stranger pass by. The fact was I could not banish en tirely from mind- the recollection of that woman whom I had seen In this very spot the night before. I had ac tually seen her—It • was no vision, no dream. No doubt Carrington had faith In what he said, and possessed no sus picion whatever of her presence on the yacht. But she was here nevertheless —why, how, for what purpose, by whose help I could not conjecture—but that she actually existed and was hid den somewhere aboard, I 'had not the slightest doubt, and I must solve the mystery alone. But how could I prove the visioi! true? how establish, at least to my own satisfaction, her identity, and pur pose? I thought it all over again and again. If Carrington was unaware of her presence—and of this I really no longer felt any doubt—then she must have slipped aboard unseen, or, per chance, aided and abetted by one of the crew. Somewhere below, where discov ery was not probable except through accident, she was kept in hiding. Yet to accomplish this she would need as sistance. She must have had aid ia getting aboard unseen; someone who knew of a vacant cabin, rind who could supply her with food. Only an offi cer could hope to do this without arousing suspicion. Except for the en gineer, Gault, whom I had not seen, but who was hardly in a situation to render such service, there were three who might be accomplices—the cap tain, Turner, and the first and second officers—Hatch and Seeley. I dismissed all thought of the first two almost in stantly. Turner was an old sea-dog, a former naval officer, unapproachable, and an extremely strict disciplinarian; while Hatch was a tall, lank, slow- spoken individual, never guilty of the slightest civility to anyone. Neither of these would evev aid and abet a woman under any conceivable circum stances. Of the second officer, Seeley, I re membered Carrington had mentioned the fact that he bad been In his em ploy for over ten years. He was the one most likely to listen to the plea of a woman, and to be deceived by her; and besides, as I suddenly recalled, it was during his watch on the bridge that the girl had ventured on deck seeking the fresh night air.

INFORMATION ON BUDDING FRUIT TREES3 We have had so many requests for Information about budding fruit trees that we are giving directions In this issue, as it is about the rlght-tlme of the year to perform this operation. It should be stated, however, that It rarely repays the average man to go to the trouble to bud his own trees unless he has some special varieties or strains which he wishes to perpetuate. Trees may now be procured more cheaply from reliable nurserymen who grow them in large numbers than they can be grown In a small way by ama teurs: For budding, two things are neces sary : first, a strong growing sprout or seedling not more than half an inch In diameter from the ground, and sec- through the bark and just into the wood nbout one-fonrth inch above the bud and cutting downward under neath the bud and out again about one- fourth of an inch below so that the bud has a shieldlike piece of bark and wood attached to it. As the leaf buds are found in the axils of the leaves It is convenient td leave a part of the leaf stalk attached to the bud as shown at X In the cut to act as a handle. When the bud has been cut raise the bark and force the bud down under neath as shown at D and tie In tightly with cotton tape or better with raffln , which can be procured of any florist After ten days loosen the tie so that it will not bind the bud too tightly, Iin METHOD OF BUDDING YOUNG FRUIT TREE. ond, some well-developed leaf buds from the tree it is desired to perpetu ate. For example, plums may be budded on the sprouts which some times spring up from the roots of an old plum tree or on small seedlings which have been grown from plura seeds. The amateur should not at tempt to bud one kind of fruit on R V other, for example, plums on cherries. In the accompanying illustration 4- shows the young tree or stock with the bark cut through In the form, of an upright cross. This allows the bark to be peeled back as shown at B for inserting the bud. The bud as cut for Inserting is shown at 0.

How to Make Skin WhiteandBeautifuI At the cost of a small jar of ordi nary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautlfier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle contain ing three ounces of ^orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and re move such blemishes as sallowness, freckles and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautlfier. Just try it! Get three ounces of or- chard white at any pharmacy arid two lemons from the grocer-and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands.

If the whole crop Is plowed under, how-- ever, it Is evident that there-can be no revenue from the land that year. It is much more profitable, therefore, to pasture the land and then to plow under what remains of the Crop to- •gether with the manure that is left on the ground. Barnyard manure contains a large proportion of the fertilizing value of the substances fed the animals. In the effect upon fertility, therefore, It makes comparatively little difference whether the crop or the manure it produces is returned to the soil. What- difference does exist is much more than offset by the profit that should accompany the proper management of live stock. AU legumes make good pasturage, and their use for this purpose will minimize the need for more expen sive feedstuffs. The extent to which this is done is one of the great factors that make for success in the live stock industry. The efficient use of all farm roughage, such as straw and stover, and of leguminous crops will provide the farmer with much valuable feed which may be said to cost him little or nothing, for^ giving it to animals does not materially lessen its fertilizing value, and under ordinary circum stances no direct cash returns are to be expected from it. BLACK ROT IS MDST DISEASE Trouble Occurs on Grapes Every where and to Some Extent on Different Varieties. (Clemson Colleere Bulletin.) The black rot Is the mo^t common and most destructive disease of grapes that we have. It occurs everywhere and to some extent on all varieties. Where the most' resistant varieties have not been. selected and proper control measures have not been insti tuted against this disease it has be come impossible to grow grapes suc cessfully. On the leaves it causes a character istic leaf spot which is grayish-brown to dark brown in appearance. In the center of these spots the small black spore-producing bodies are formed. This phase of the disease is frequently very destructive to the foliage of the rotundifolia or scuppernong type of grape and sometimes is found causing trouble on the leaves of the bunch grape. These spots develop on the soon after they unfold In the V and again In another ten days, remov ing It entirely in ten days more. This is all that is necessary for this sea son. The bud will not grow this fall but will remain dormant the same as if it had been left on the original tree. The following spring if it has been set properly it will start to grow. The stock should then be cut off as shown by the dotted line T so that air of the strength will go to the new shoot. The bud should be inserted as near the ground as possible so that the curve In tSe trunk of the resulting tree WiIll be near the ground. Budding* should be done during August or early in September.—National Stockman and Farmer. early summer and the fungus passes from them to the fruit. On the fruit the disease first ap pears as a dark brown spot with a still darker band around the edges-of the diseased area. The fungus spreads rapidly through the tissues until the entire berry Is affected. Later the ber ries shrivel up and remain on the bunches as dry, black mummies. The fungus remains alive during the winter In the diseased portions of the stems or In the old diseased leaves and fruits and the next spring the spores of the fungus spread the disease again to the young leaves and fruit Control Measures. Some varieties are more resistant to the disease than others. On the' rotundifolia type the disease causes serious damage to the leaves, but does not seem to injure the fruit to any ex tent On the bunch grapes (labrusca and vlnefora types) the disease is not very injurious to foliage, but is very de structive to the fruit. Some of these, however, are more resistant than others. The disease is prevented by destroy-' Ing the old diseased leaves and fruit and by spraying with bordeaux mix ture. Where it is necessary to resort to spraying one application of bor deaux should be made as soon as the leaves unfold and another as soon is the fruit Is set After this weather conditions and IJie severity of the dis ease will determine the number of ap plications. Ordinarily it would be ad visable to make an application every two weeks until the fruit begins to ripen. You would use for these sprays bordeaux mixture 4—4—50, except the first application which should be 3— ! 4—50, i. e., 3 pounds of bluestone, 4 pounds of quicklime to 50 gallons of water. Preparation of Mixture. , Dissolve copper sulphate in a wood en or earthen vessel and dilute to 25 gallons, slack'quicklime, strain to re move foreign particles and lumps, and dilute to 25 gallons. Pour the two so lutions together slowly at the same time into a third vessel, stirring all the time so as to Insure thorough mix-, ture.

The National Board ot Fire Under- Writera has recently received its first report covering the first three months ot the association’s campaign toward the prevention of fire which ts a part of the conservation campaign In aid of the war under the general direction of Herbert C. Hoover, -President Wil son’s food supply director. The re- -.port cites the fact that President R. M. BIssell, ot Hartford, Conn., Presi dent ot the National Board to start the wort wrote letters to the gov ernors of the cotton producing and grain growing stateB urging their co operation with the National Board and -'its affiliated organizations for the safeguarding of warehouses, cotton <gins, compresses and grain elevators, all manner of mills storage properties and such works. The strongest co operation has been received, the re port says, from all these sources. The advisory committee of Insur ance officials were appointed In dif ferent sections of the country to work with state officials on Inspections and safeguards, Meetings have been held Iln -; almost, every state and property owners as- well as state officials and Insurance men attended. Great inter est iUnd hard work have resulted and ',the' special agents of companies in :every field have been mobilized for conservation work. The inspectors on this, work; have been given special authority In the form ol a letter or identification card carrying the .photo graph and signature of the -hearer with the-proper !authorization attested. In spections have been educational and owners hate been very quick to fol- Iow-suggestions for improvements. - '.Ihe National Boahd Committee has been In close contact with the activi ties of (he conservation board under !the administration of Mr. Hoover and jhas prepared a thorough list of eleva tors-with -their grading and specifics- {tlons for fire dangers.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1917.NUMBER 10 |TeIi M r. B aker T h e j Shall N ot I P a « . I Tbe foolieh obession of the feocretary of war that it “ is his 'duty” to moblize northern negro itroops in the south m arks his oc cupancy ofhis high position, a !place never before in history of so much importance to the nation, as dangerous. Tbere is no profit in blam ing a fool lor being a fool, uor a wise man for his ignorance. The foolish are generally wise about some tbiugs, and the wise are often ig norant about some thing. In this, Secretary Baker simply does not know what he does. W hy he does Dot know, w hether his ignorance is excusable or inexcusable, are not questions relevent to the i89ne. Tbe point is that he does noi know •and there are many people who do kuow. There are plenty of men of force in W ashington who do know, that it is not the duty of Mr. Baker to send northern negroes into the south, as soldiers; that on the otbei hand it is his duty, his imperative duty, to send them elsewhere. The real fault must be with thoss who do know, if Baker is perm itted to persist in bis dangerous folly. The men who do understand this situation in its practical aspects, who realize fully that B aker is in viting riot and bloodshed and hat red and horror, are of such num bers and influential position in W ashington that they ought to be able to accomplish anything to which they set their m inds, if it is reasonable and right. The President and commmander in -cbisf himself may understand. Most of his life has been spent in the atm osphere of New Jersj. which is quite different from that of M assachusette, or of Ohio, for instance. Tbere is not a word to be said agaiDst the northern negro soldiers as northern soldiers, in all this. It is-n o t a teim of reproach. There is no reason to doubt that will fight as well disciplined troops and fight bravely. Most negroes make good soldiers. In Africa there innum erable tribes, of wide Iy varying character and quality. Many of them were warriors from generation to generation, some tribes were com paratively weak and cowardly, but where m ight ruled, it was but natural that the average individual should beequip pcd with the fighting spirit. Tbe black will fight. The' light cass negio, most of whom now of figbt- ago were born of light-cast parents will fight. They are notably loyal, have a pride of their o w d ; it m ay be assumed that most of them are good citizens of the . idealities in which they reside. The same sort of things may be said id general of southern negroes, but there re mains the im portant difference that wheras it. i&iaaie^.and .- proper to moblize southern negrc&s in tbe south, it is almost sutfiei tdvinybke- a sea ot_ trouble ii northern negroes are sent here. It would require a volume to. set forth' clearly <tll the reasons why; but to set them forth is not necessity. The country is uuder uo obligation to stop in the midst \j{ a great war and attend to the education of its secretary of A udifnow isdom should come from the source whence of right wisdom is expected, it once more becomes the hard duty of its peo; pie of the south to decide this m at ter for themselves. They should Btt about fiuding way aad means of getting it into the head of ,M r. Secretary Baker that these troops wiU not be received.

C., says: “I was down for several weeks with an awful cold-which had settled in my kidneys. My back was so lame I could hardly get around. I felt tired all the time and the least exertion completely laid me up. My nerves were in .a Very'bad way and the least excite ment got*me all unstrung. After takiug Doan’s Kidney Pills, my back felt stronger. I used about two boxes in all and they made me feel like a different woman.

W ithin the past few days we have been called upon to chronicle the death of a number of our citizens, but none has been sadder than the death of M aster Virgil Swaim, the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs Virgil E Swaim, which occurred at 7:30 o’clock Wednesday morning of last week. Virgil had been suffer ing for some months with diabetes, but he had been up and at his fath er’s store until Friday night. On Saturday he was taken very ill, and remained in a stupor most of the time until death. The funeral servi ces were conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. 0. Gole, a t 10:30 Thursday morning, a t the residence, after which the body was carried to Rose cemetery and gently laid to rest to aw ait the final resurrection, when those who die in the Lord shall rise again and go to Him who said, “ Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Father, mother, and one little sister survive. Virgil was a good boy and was loved by all who knew him. We will all miss his smiling face. He always had a kind word and a pleasant smile for all with whom he came in contact. He was a special friend of the editor and we join the loved ones in their deep sorrow. Virgil is not dead, but only asleep. Mr. John Holder of Clemon3 and Miss Carrie E.

In 1888 the mission was established for Gie following reasons: 1 There are millions of heathens ard others loo poor to buy a Bible or a copy of the Gospels. 2 Millions would never get a copy be cause none is ever offered them for sale. 3 Millions do not care enough to buy, would accept a beautiful, illustrated Gos pel, if it were kiudly offered and advised how to read it. How is the Missions work done? By voluntary Christian workers, You may help, if you will. W hatistheD istinctiveFeature of the mission. AU Scriptures issued by the mission are printed in an attracted form and general ly illustrated with pictures of the Holy Land. How is the mission supported? By the voluntary gifts of those who I ive the Scriptures and long to get other peo ple into the habit of reaching them. What special, work engages the mission as present. Distributing the Scriptures among the soldiers and sailors. This work is being blessed of God. While you may, will y< t» rot help? The price of the latest edit! n of the Scripture Gift Mission Testntrcnt is twenty-eight cents. TheRed Cross is buying some to distribute to our drafted men before they leave the country: We do not believe any copy will be rejected, but even if it should be thrown away, God can use it. A soldier did throw a- way a Testament. Ayoung woman pick ed it up. read it, and became a believer She showed it to her friends. The result was the converson of five others. •• fhe word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword.” and Pbilatheas who m -our next county A ttention, B aracas-P inlatbeas.

Automobiles and chickens are in volved in the latest food conserva tion movement. There are approxi mately '3.000,000 automobiles in America: If one-sixth of these ma chines kill a chicken a year, it means 400,000 dead chickens. If each chick en weighs a pound at 35 cents a pouud, that means an annual loss of $175,000. If each hen lived happily it m ight lay 100 eggs, in its life time, which means 50,000,000 eggs lost.

Sisa loads of primings of good grade S broughtl $33 per 100 pounds, aid the common grades of tobacco sold at relatively higher price. Poor tobacco that would have brought $2 and $3 per 100 two yeais agoij now selling for from $15 to 20. One reason for the sbaipe advance in price is the fact that all of the buying houses are well xepreseni- ed on the market.

THEIB GREATEST WAR FEAT Commands Territory on South and East. German Attack on Casemates Plateau Repulsed.—Fighting Imped ed By Some Heavy Rains. The crest of Monte San Gabriele, commanding the plain of Gorizia to the south and southeast and the Frigi- do valley to the east, has been ,cap tured by the Italians after three weeks of the m ost bitter fighting, the Italian embassy at W ashington announces. This news of victory,- probably the greatest feat of the Italian arm s thus far in the war, pro- cedes the latest official report from Rome. The statem ent from the Italian w ar office says that the fight ing on the entire Austro-Italian front was impeded by heavy rain. The Italian effort to capture San Gabriele began after the taking of Monte Santo, directly north, by Gen- Seral Cadorna’s troops on August 25. Several tim es the Italians had reached the sum m it of the great mountain, so important? to their furthet progress east of Gorizia, as well as on the Carso, only to be beaten back again, On the slopes of the rugged rock in the last few weeks has .occurred some of the heaviest and m ost sanguinary fighting of the war. San Gabriele’s top was occupied by the Italians, the embassy reports after the - fortified hill or saddle of Dol and the Gargaro basin, the main bulk of San Gabriele had been taken. The Austrians, how ever, still cling to some positions on the mountain. In the forest of Tar- novo, east of Monte -Sau Gabriele, the Italians captured positions from the Austrians, after suffering heavy losses. Except along the Casemates plateau on the Aisne front, there has been no m arked activity on the other fight- .ing fronts. A German attack against the French positions on the Case m ates plateau, Paris reports, was re pulsed with heavy losses. Berlin says German troops penetrated to the seC- ond French line and inflicted severe j casualties. The British artiliery fire in Flanders, Berlin reports,: has in creased to drum fire.

Chicago.—Treason- to America in the war was defined by Elihu Root and labor was pledged by Samuel Gompers to .fight until world terrorism had been overthrown, at a patriotic rally hehld here by the National Se curity League for the announced pur pose of vindicating Chicago of alleg ed intim ations of lack of patriotism. “The men who are speaking and writing and printing arguments against th e , w ar and against every thing that is being done to carry on the war are rendering effective serv ice to Germany,” declared the former secretary of state amid cheers. “It is impossible to resist the conclusion that the greater part of them are at heart traitors to the United States.” “As tim e goes on and the character of these acts becomes more and more clearly m anifest, all who continue to associate with them m ust come under the same condemnation.

The premier, re ceived General Krymoff at the win ter palace Iind told him of th e/fate that aw aited him. « Krymoff returned to his lodgings and shot himself. R E B-E L L I O N HEADQUARTERS HAVE BEEN SURRENDERED TO KERENSKY. HIS TROOPS DESERT RiKS Rebel General Himself Offers to Sur render on , Conditions—Govern m ent Commands Korniloff’s Abject Capitulation. General Korniloff’s rebellion against Prem ier Kerensky apparently has been quelled, like other attem pts that have been made to overthrow the Russian provisional government. Official reports from Petrograd say that Korniloff’s headquarters has sur rendered and that Korniloff himself desires conditionally -to place himself In the haijds of the authorities. The government is demanding his abject capitulation. Meanwhile troops that had answer ed the call of revolt issued by Korni- Ioff continue to desert his ranks and return to the government fold, declar ing that they were niisled by Korni loff’s professed aims. Kerensky has been confirmed by the cabinet as commander-in-chief of the army and will have with him as chief of staff in his prosecution ot the war against the Teutonic allies General Alexieff, form er commander- in-chief and one of the most brilliant officers in the Russian army. Added strength is also expected to be given Kerensky’s rule by the appointment of new m ilitary officials for the dis trict and city of Petrograd. SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ INSURANCE PASSES HOUSE A llowancesfor Dependents of Officers and Men Equalized. W ashington.—The administration’s soldiers’, and sailors’ insurance bill, amended so as to equalize-the allow ances' of the dependents ot enlisted, men and officers, passed the house. The vote was 319 to 0, Representa tives Platt, of New York, and Hersey, of Maine, changing negative votes to aye before the result was announced, amid thunderous applause. As the bill went to the senate, pri vates and officers and their depend ents stand on exactly the same basis. Benefits and allowances now provided for are slightly higher - thah those originally proposed as the minimum for privates by the committees and considerably lower than the maximum amounts which officers and their de pendents would have , received. President Wilson scored a personal victory in the adoption, 141 to 77, of an amendment raising from $5,000 ,to $10,000 the maximum amount of op tional insurance policies that the gov ernment- would issue to all men in the service.\ The original draft of the bill carried $10,000, but it was strick en out in committee. Opposition Mild. The mildness of the attack of op ponents of the measure on the op tional insurance section caused sur prise. It was passed over in a com paratively short tim e after a formal motion to strike it out had been over whelmingly defeated. LANSING REVEALS ANOTHER CASE OF GERMAN PERFIDY W ashington.—Another chapter to the story’of German intrigue in neu tral countries and among neutral dip lomats was revealed by _ Secretary Lansing in the form of a letter to the imperial chancellor from the notorious Von Eckhardt, the German m inister at Mexico City, to whom the inter cepted Zimmermann' note was ad dressed. It disclosed that Folke Cronkolm, then Swedish charge in Mexico, was depended upon by the German diplomat to. furnish informa tion from the “hostile camp” and to transm it communications to Berlin, and that Von Eckhardt wanted him rewarded by a secret award from the kaiser of. the “order of the crown of the second-class.” FORTY-SECOND DIVISION IS COM PLEfE AT MINEOLA Camp Mills, Mineola, N.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS ASK ED FOR EXPLANATION OF DISCLOSURES. CLEAR STATEMENT 15 WED Break In Relations Is Certain Unless Germany Makes Satisfactory Con cessions—Populace is Angry Over Expressions. Buenos Aires, Argentina government a t noon sent to the German legation passports to be delivered to Count Luxburg, the German m inister in Buenos Aires. The whereabouts of Count Luxburg still is unknown to the.Argentine government. The foreign office sent a communi cation to. the German foreign minis- tery demanding a n ' explanation of Count Luxburg’s action in sending the secret code m essages to Berlin thru the Swedish legation. The note sent by Foreign Minister Pueyrredon to Count von Luxburg, in -which the German m inister was ten dered his passports, reads: “Mr. Minister: You having ceased to be persona grata to the Argentine government, that government has de cided to deliver to you your passports which I transm it herewith by order of his excellency, the president of the nation. "The introducer of embassies has instructions to assist you in your im m ediate departure from the territory of the republic. God- keep you. (Signed) “H. i>EYRREDON.” “‘To Count Karl von Luxburg, en voy extraordinary apd m inister pleni potentiary of the German empire.” The Argentine m inister a t Berlin has been instructed to inform the . German foreign office that Count von Luxburg has been handed his pass ports, and to ask for explanations re garding Gie telegram disclosures. If the German government disapproves of the text of the German m inster’s dispatches and especially of the word “ass,” which term the count applied to the Argentine, foreign m inister, the Situhtion may clear. If Berlin does not disavow the m inisters course, Ar gentina- will recall her m inister from : Germany but may perm it the legation to remain. . . ALLOWANCE OF $5 TO $50 A MONTH TO DEPENDENTS Scale, of Rates W hich,Have Heen Ten- . tatively Approved. ; W ashington.—Provisions of the sol diers’ ;and sailors’ insurance bill for allowances of from $5 to $50 a month to dependents during the service of enlisted m en -were tentatively approv ed by the house. Strenuous efforts. of Representative Keating of Colorado, speaking for va rious hum anitarian organizations, to have the allowances raised, failed. He m aintained-that statistics proved that the proposed allowances would not perm it families to live in ordinary comfort, but administration- leaders re plied 'th at higher payments would m ake ithe cost to the -government prohibitory. These are the amounts, in addition to any sum taken from the pay, that dependents would receive monthly: Wife, no children, $15; one child, $25; tw o'children, $32.50; and $5 ad ditional for each additional child. One m otherless child, $5; two chil dren, $12.50; three children, $20; four children', $30 and $5 monthly ad ditional for each additional child'.

Of this number about 6,200 will be North Carolinians, and 3,150 represent the draft districts in South Carolina." KORNILOFF IS REPORTED TO BE ‘ MARCHING ON PETROGRAD WITH TROOPS. REMIINS SRAVE Kerensky is Bending Every Effort To ward Suppression of Revolt, but Chasm is Wide.—Army And Navy are Lining Up. . The internal situation in Russia re m ains grave and chaotic and just how it will be solved it 4s impossible to forecast. Apparently the chasm of discord has so widened that either M. Kerensky, head of the provisional government, or General Korniloff ,the deposed commander-in-chief of the ariny, who is opposing Kerensky and who demands alm ost dictatorial pow ers, will be engulfed. At the present moment neither side seems willing to make concessions. Kerensky at the head of the govern m ent ain Petrograd is bending all his energy toward -the supppression of the turmoil created by the Korniloff and his followers, while Korniloff is re ported to be approaching Petrograd w ith troops in order to lay siege to the capital. To prevent such action Kerensky’s adherents are tearing up the railroad line and otherwise are preparing to resist. ■While advices received in LDondon are to the effect that the Baltic fleet is faithful to the Kerensky rgime, other advices say that Commander Denikine, of the southwestern Rus sian army, sent word to the premier that he would give his support to Korniloff. Official reports are to the effect that Denikine and several other generals have beeh arrested.

ONE SUBMARINE PROBABLY DESTROYED, TWO SHIPS SUNK W ashington.—A typographical er ror In transcribing a statem ent for the press from an official report to the navy departm ent made it appear that six German, submarines probably had been sunk off the French coast when they attacked a fleet of mer chantm en including at least one American vessel. The facts are, so far as known tonight, that one sub m arine probably was destroyed and two of Ih e steamers went down. A corrected statem ent was issued by Secretary Daniels as soon as the error was discovered. The departm ent has only a meager account of the fight and additional details have been asked for by cable. The report came from the American tanker W estwego through Paris; the vessel apparently having reached a French port after, the fight. The names and nationality of the two ships lost were not given. The W estwego was en route to Europe and from the fact that she was cruising in company with other m erchant craft, navy officers assumed that the fleet was under convoy of naval vessels, probably of American destroyers. The tanker reported Sep tem b er'8, the fight having occurred September 5. The brief -statem ent received from Paris said that six sub m arines had made a massed attack on the m erchant flotilla; that two of the steam ers were sunk, and that one of the submarines probably was lOBt.

C. theD CopyngHt A* C. McCIurg qc Cow ROBERT HOLLIS MEETS THE MYSTERIOUS GIRL AND HAS LONG TALK WITH HER-WORD COMES THAT WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED Synopsis.—Robert Hollis, one-time sea captain, who tells the story, is a guest on Gerald Carrington’s yacht, Esmeralda, which, with a party of gay New York business inen, is making her maiden voyage to the coast of Spain. It is supposed to be strictly "stag,” and Hollis, wandering alone on deck at night is surprised to discover on board a woman who evidently wishes to remain unknown. The nest night he succeeds in meeting her and having an interview. CHAPTER II.—Continued. — 2— Eefore the party finally broke up I had outlined my plan. I was in no haste to retire, having slept more or less during the afternoon; I would re main alone on deck, and see what hap pened. W e were steaming right gal lantly now, and stars were finding rifts in the clouds through which to silver the waves of the Sound. The first offi cer was still on the bridge, but Seeley would relieve him at twelve; there w as nothing for me to do but w ait until then. I could better my position, however, and immediately did so. If the second officer really proved to be the accom plice of the girl, he would very prob ably take a rather careful survey of the deck aft before permitting her to venture forth from concealm ent If his search disclosed my presence, the young woman would doubtless be or dered to remain below. My choice of position was easily determined. The flag locker was unusually commodious, as one of Carrington's hobbies was to dress the ship handsomely on every gala occasion, and display the colors of all nations. It was built directly against the after rail, and back into its protective shadow I-silently drew a steam er chair, concealed myself be neath the folds of a rug, and lay there quietly. Time dragged, but finally the bell forw ard announced the hour for the change of watch. I was sailor enough to comprehend the meaning of every sound. I heard someone walk hastily across the main deck, and descend through the companion—a seaman dis patched to call the second mate. The two came back' together. Five min utes later, with no warning sound of approach, I became aware that some one had quietly rounded the end of the cabin. The m ate passed me by within a few feet, so close, indeed, I could distinguish the buttons on his uniform, and the white cap he wore. Nothing, however, could have occurred to arouse his suspicions, for the man did not even pause in his slow walk, but disap peared along the port rail. Fearing he might return, I remained motion less, yet was doubly assured now that my suspicions were about to be veri fied. I 1 dared not venture any explo ration. Thus far my plan had worked nicely, and I could not now afford to risk discovery. She came so silently, like a gray shadow gliding out of the night, that she was actually-beside the rail, gazing steadfastly out a t the sil very water, before I was even clearly aware of her presence. I was scarcely willing to accept the evidence of my own eyes, yet arose slowly to a sitting posture to observe better, dropping the' m g silently onto the deck. She heard no sound of the movement, and, with no suspicion of any other presence near, remained motionless, drinking in the soft beauty of the night, and breathing deeply the crisp salt air. I could see her plainly, silhouetted against the sky, illumined by the star- gleam which reflected upward from the water, her hands clasped on the rail, her form bent slightly forward, her skirts blowing lightly in the wind. She was slender and young, no doubt as to that, with a certain supple grace to her figure noticeable even In that quiet posture. Helped by the support of the flag locker,' I i ttained my feet noiselessly, only half determined .n the course I had better pursue. However, I was left no choice. Something served to startle her, to make her vaguely aware of some other presence on the deck. She turned, still grasping the rail with one hand, and confronted me. I caught a glimpse of her face, white and youth ful, her big eyes- staring at me as though in sudden terror. She stepped back; then straightened slightly, her questioning eyes never leaving my face. • _ “I—I supposed myself to be alone,” she said, the words uncertain, but the voice clear. “You are one of the pas sengers?” “Yes; I chanced to be still'on deck Svhen you came.” ' “Whore? You were expecting me?” I indicated the chair in the shadow, but did not venture to move. 4I was lying here, covered by a rug, but did not see you until you appeared yonder at the rail. Why do yofi ask if I was expecting you?v 3ust inStant, but an--swered frankly. was a man bere last night, after the engines stopped. I believed then he failed to see me. W as it you, and are you here again tonight to make sure?” “You have guessed the exact truth,” I confessed, almost regretfully. “Last night it was a mere accident, but to night my presence here had an object” “Indeed! W hat interest is it of yours?” “None directly, except as I am a friend to Mr. Carrington, the owner of this yacht, and also his guest. He assured me only this morning that there was no woman on board, and laughed a t me for even imagining such a thing. Naturally I desired to vindi cate m yself; then besides the m ystery also had its attractions.” “No doubt! And now th a t you have progressed so far, what further do you purpose doing—turn me over to the authorities?” “I do not know,” I said honestly. “But I am in hopes you will tru st me enough to explain your object in thus coming uninvited aboard. I should pre fer being your friend, if that prove possiblfe.” She did not answer, apparently' hesi tating In surprise a t my unexpected plea, and doubtful as to my sincerity. “W hat is your name?” “Robert H ollis; I live in Chicago.” She nodded, and I imagined the ex pression of her eyes changed slightly. The m erest semblance of a smile curved her lips. “I am rather glad you are my dis coverer,” she said quietly, “for I know who you. are. You are not altogether a stranger.” ' “I am n o t!” I exclaimed in surprise. ‘,‘Oh! I understand: Seeley has told you of me.” “H as he indeed! W hy Seeley?” “Because I have some reason to be lieve that the second officer is your special friend on board: that through his aid you have found concealment. Am I altogether wrong?” She laughed—the sound barely au dible, yet evidence of her swift amuse m ent “If I did not chance to know better, Mr, Hollis, I should alm ost suspect you of being a lawyer,” she said cheer fully. “However, in spite of my pres ent position, I am inclined to be a truthful person. I fear Mr. Seeley’s in terest in me is altogether, or a t least largely, mercenary. I will confide in you, and confess that he has already cost me one hundred dollars, and heaven alone knows how much more will be required before we attain deep water, when I hope to be free from bondage.” “Good! I am encouraged; now you will tell m e more?” She shook her head. “Not another word, sir. So far, as they sny in New York, ‘you have the goods op me,’ and denial would be. use less. Of course, I might have told a falsehood. I am perfectly capable of so doing, and had I been conversing with some others on board, I would have chosen to do so.” “Which would seem to imply that you possess a m easure of confidence in me?” “I do, Mr. Hollis,” quietly. “Seeley m ust have given me a most excellent reputation, and deserves re ward.” “Mr. Seeley gave me your name as one of the passengers, nothing more. I cannot a t present explain when, or how, I acquired my information regard ing you. To you I am a perfect stranger, and m ust remain so, but, by some good fortune, I chance to know enough of you to trust you thoroughly as a gentleman. You understand w hat I mean?” H er eyes m et mine frankly; they were clear, honest eyes, and I felt that I read their direct challenge. ' "Perhaps so,” I answered with a feel ing of disappointment. “You mean I am to ask no further questions? to for get, if possible, your presence on board?” “Yes; can you do this?” “Well, to be perfectly frank, I am not altogether certain that I can, or th at I ought. I am Mr. Carrington’s guest, and owe. him a certain loyalty— you admit that?” “Yes.” “Have I a right to conceal from my host the knowledge which I have dis covered, that a strange young woman has been hidden on board his yacht by one of his officers?” “T hat must depend altogether on yotir sense of duty tp both Mr. Carring ton and myself,”' she returned calmly. “Do I appear ilke a thief? a conspira tor? or in any way a desperate charac ter?” “You appear a most charming young woman, whom I should be very glad to know." “Thank you,” and her lips smiled. “Then my case is not quite' hopeless. As a ‘most charming young woman’ I unreservedly yield m yself to your pro tection. I cannot tell you who I am, nor why I am on board the Esm eralda secretly, but I give you my word of honor that no harm shall result from my presence to any of your friends, and I only request; you to remain si lent for a few hours longer.” “You intend later to reveal yourself to others?” “As soon as the yacht is safely at sea, beyond all possibility of putting me ashore.” I confess I was puzzled, uncertain; my duty to Carrington seemed clear enough, and yet there was that about the girl which gave m e faith in her pledge. She read my hesitation. “You still doubt me, Mr. Hollis?” “No, it is not doubt, yet I know so little. You will a t least tru st m e w ith your name?” H er eyes fell, shadowed by their long lashes. For a moment she looked out across the rail, a t the dark w ater be yond. , “So fa r as I can—yes,” she answered soberly. “You m ay call m e Yera.” CHAPTER III. War, and a Copper-Pool. “Vera,” I echoed, in some way vaguely, conscious of a strange fam il iarity with the word, yet utterly un able to immediately recall the associa tion, “that m ust be your given, not your family name?” “And you are not even satisfied at this evidence of my trust?” she ques tioned lightly. “Usually it is consid ered quite a compliment to be permit ted to call a lady bY her given, name— yet I grant you, a stranger, this privi lege.” “To which I am not insensible; yours is not a common appellative, yet have known someone so named be fore.” • - “Indeed! A friend?” “Well, really, I cannot say ; I haven't quite’figured it out y et; only the mem ory haunts me oddly, as something I ought to remember.” “Or else forget,” she interrupted quickly. “W hat do you say if we blot out all tliis mystery, and just be natu- Breathless W ith Interest, tioned Me. She Ques- ral for a while? Have you the slight est knowledge of where we are, Mr. Hollis? W hat is that light Anshing out yonder?” “Montauk point,” I answered, in stantly recognizing the peculiar flash. “The eastern extrem ity of Long island. W e shall be breasting the Atlantic by daylight if all is well. I have good reason to remember Montauk.” “Yes? You were there?” “Once; why, it was sixteen years ago a t the close of our w ar w ith Spain. I served on the St. Paul, and we came up from Cuba loaded with sick and wounded soldiers—-JHichigan troops mostly—and put them ashore at Mon tauk. I was little more than a boy then, and the suffering witnessed made a deep impression.” “You were a sailor?” ‘T was twelve years a t sea; my fa ther was a large ship owner. I left the sea when I was th irty ; I had dtisen to command, my father died, and I decided I had had enough. I sup pose I seem quite ancient to you?” “Indeed you do hot. I think it is wonoerful fop. you to- fight your way like that, when your father w as rich. I t w as a man’s work. Tell me about it. Your sea life, I mean.” T he eagerness, of her voice m ust have touched a responsive chord, for alm ost befo re! realized my purpose, I began speaking. I began at the first, relating my .life as cabin boy, and as m an before the mast, my first voyage as mate, and the experiences cff ;'my ] earliest command. I told of shipwreck in the South seas; of a battle for life in the Indian ocean; of strange peoples m et in every quarter of the earth; of fighting windy gales off the Atlan tic coast, and the silent desolation of tropic seas. Breathless w ith interest, she questioned me, and I answered, feeling the m agic of her eyes on my face, the soft intoxication of her pres ence beside me. .She w as natural, wholesome; the very sort of woman I had dreamed about, as being some where in the world, yet had never met before. H er very presence was inspi ration, but beyond this vague impres sion my dream did not go. Then I looked aside a t her and laughed, realiz ing suddenly how loquacious I had been. “Really, I m ust have nearly talked you to sleep,” I said regretfully. “I do not know when I have before been guilty of such egotism.” “Do not say that. It w as most in teresting. It is nice to be spoken to as though one was an intelligent hu m an being—it is quite an experience.” “Perhaps I do not understand.” "D oubtless. not, for you are not a girl, and you tell me you never sought society. The very nature of your life has left you frank and Sti1Oightforward. You talk to me ju st as you would to a man.” K my . frankness has interested you,” I ventured, “can you not realize how much I desire to learn more—who you are, why you are here?” . “Of. course; but I cannot tell you, Mr. Hollis—not y e t” She looked a t her w rist watch, hold ing it out into a star-gleam , which re vealed the w hite shapeliness, of her arm . . ‘I dare not even rem ain here with you longer.” “B ut you will come again? This is not to be our last meeting?" She hesitated, her eyes meeting m ine alm ost kindly; then she held out her hand. “The last—yes, in this way. You will m eet m e again, but not as We are tonight. I have truly enjoyed being w ith you, of hearing your story, but this m eeting here alone was not my choice. You understand I could not avoid it, and after I w as discovered, had to rem ain and win your pledge to ,secrecy. You will not forget that?” “Assuredly not. You w illn o tre tu rn to the deck tomorrow night?” She laughed softly, and withdrew her hand, which I still held. “Tomorrow night! Oh, I cannot tell; we may be fa r enough a t sea by then so I need no longer seek fresh air by night. I told you my concealment was only tem porary. Good night, Mr. Hollis.” T he gray dress she wore left upon m e the impression that she faded from sight, her dim outline vanished so suddenly amid the shadows. I took a sw ift step forward, impelled by an irresistible desire to ascertain in w hat portion of the yacht she found conceal m ent, yet paused alm ost as quickly. W ho she was, and why she had chosen so unconventional a m anner of joining us, w as beyond m y guessing. I essayed m any a theory, yet one after the other, all broke down, and left me groping In darkness. Only one fact rem ained steadfast, to which I could; cling with Confidence—the girl w as no m ere ad venturess, no crim inal; she w as doing nothing of which she w as in the least ashamed, nor had she the slightest fear the consequences. I slept so soundly as to be the last guest at the breakfast tdbie the next morning, although as I sat there alone Fosdick returned from the deck ,to the cabin, seeking a raincoat, and report ing a .heavy fog, through which the yacht was proceeding slowly. The ves sel w as still within easy view of Mon tauk, or had been before the m ist shut down, but the really im portant news had come to Carrington by wireless— positive inform ation of the outbreak of war. Russia and France were pit ted against Germany and A ustria in the death grapple. The Geiman troops had already begun an Invasion of Bel gium on their drive toward Paris. It was still unknown w hat course Eng land would take. The nature of this news obscured all else, and left me unable to complete my meal. Other messages were mo mentarily expected, and I dressed has tily, and joined the little group on the deck, just as a cabin boy handed Car rington a new message. He read it, crashing his denched hand down on the rail. “It’s a lf over w ith now,” he ex claimed, holding the paper aloft, and gazing about into our eager faces, “England declares, war, gentlemen. She wiU stand by her . treaty w ith Belgium. H ere is our opportunity; listen to me. This is going to be, the greatest w ar in history; every nation in Europe W y . be involved before it is ended. Do you realize the commodity m ost in de mand? the one m etal those arm ies can not get along without? It is copper. They m ust have it, and they m ust-buy it of us. This morning, as soon as I received th at first dispatch, I wired myj agents to buy, buy. Now, w ith Eng land In, the result is certain,” : H e paustd. and atsdirtu rhe faces Il the group. “Gentlemen, there is w ealth enough here on this yacht to control the entire copper output, if we work swiftly. The profit will be enormous. I have the campaign all m apped o u t; I know where to buy, and my agents are ready to execute my orders. I nm going to say to you frankly that I had the thought in mind when I first organized this cruise. I believed this crisis was approaching, and prepared for i t By wireless we can operate surely and se cretly, w ith no possible fear of be trayal. The only question is, are you ready to back me up?” The expression on the faces of those gathered about him reflected the va ried character of the men. They were alike startled by the unexpected turn of affairs, yet financial greed evidently predominated. Even the one German In the group had seemingly forgotten his nationality in view of the. golden bait dangling so tem ptingly before his eyes. Fosdlck, actuated by his law yer instincts, and still cool and calculating, was first to question the proposition. “You are perfectly assured of being able to control the m arket?” Fosdlck asked. “I already practical!? control,” re turned Carrington confidently. “W ith a little m ore capital the game is cer tain. In twelve hours, gentlemen, we can have the copper situation entirely in our bands. H ere are my holdings individually. I need your help to close the deal.” They bent over the papers, eager to .grasp the ftuth, but abundantly satis fied with a quick glance a t the magic figures. It was evidently' enough a m aster stroke, a business deal easy to comprehend, and all that rem ained for them to do w as to take their profits. “You—you return Immediately to New York?” - questioned McCann, his lips trembling. "Certainly not; our game at present is to keep out of sight; perm it no one to discover who is behind the move ment. Your personal checks will sat isfy me. I propose holding the yacht, say a-hundred m iles , from shore, and conducting the entire business by wire less. T hat m akes it safe and sure.” The group, of financiers stared a t each other, one waiting for the next to voice decision. Fosdlck, a s usual, took the initiative. ‘T m heartily w ith you, Carrington,” he said frankly, “you can count on my check for a hundred thousand dollars right now.” - . “And I,” “and I,” echoed from lip to Up. Carrington, sm iling pleasantly! turned tow ard me. “And how about you, Hollis? Com ing in with us? W e ought to have one Chicago representative, you know.” I shook my head, doubting my abil ity to produce the am ount required off hand. “Not today; give me a few hours to think it over. I should like to talk with you privately first.” “All right; we shall have enough, without you, but I’ll hold the chance open until you do decide. L et’s ad journ to the cabin, gentlemen, where you can draw your checks while the stew ard opens a few bottles. This is an occasion to be celebrated.” W ew ere upon our feet, not unwilling to escape from the raw air, when the voice of the lookout sounded muffled, but distinct, fa r forward. “Sail h o !” “W here away?” echoed the bridge. “Off the starboard bow, sir—a big one.” We gathered a t the rail staring out blankly into the sm other. Then sud denly the m ist seemed to roll asunder as though c u t by a knife, and there in the rift, as if the fog .were a fram e, appeared one of the finest sea pictures I ever remem ber seeing. A huge iron warship,- her funnels belching smoke a t full speed, the white spray, racing along her sides, sw ept into view. We had a glimpse of the black muzzles of guns protruding from forw ard and after turrets, of groups of sailors on deck, and in the fighting tops; a white- clad officer leaned over the bridge rail. Thpre was no flag, nor did we need one to know for. w hat she stood. Carring ton pointed out into the blank m ist. “There, goes one of your bulldogs now ” he-said. “T hat fellow has his orders already. In five hours more, not a German liner will dare leave New York.” W ith the news of w ar and evi dences of. w arlike activities On the sea, Carrington’s party be gin to think they will have some real ad venture before they reach their destination.

In a seaspn when quiet colors and ,eserved designs prevail in suits and hats and the rule is for simplicity In dress, the new blouses appear to be quite independent of these ideas. Ex cept for lingerie blouses and plain shirtwaists, much like those of the pioneer days in blouses/ the new mod els enter—a brilliant and vivid com pany, in colors and decorations, com pelling the eyes. They save the day for a season that would otherwise be too tame. Costume blouses of georgette crepe, are made in flame red, petunia orchid, purple, gold, green (emerald) char treuse, wine, and in pale tones as well. Bead work of American Indian Inspira tion and embroidery of East Indian origin—sparingly used — furnish the logical decoration for these ‘more or less vivid flashes of color. Lingerie blouses are of another or der entirely. They are made of fine voile or batiste or organdie, with the finest voiles favored. They are not by any means inexpensive when the work of making and decorating them is all done by hand as it is in the best examples of this kind of blouse. Mi nute, hand-run tucks, inlays of real lace and embroidered applique, worked by hand, bring prices ranging from twelve to twenty-five dollars each. But voile Is so durable and so fine that it merits the time spent in i.oing hand work op it. One of the simpler new models is shown in the picture. It is of fine white voile with all seams hemstitched, and is trim m ed. with Venetian lace. Its especially new feature appears in the wide jabot ends gathered to the sailor collar at each side. The sleeves are full and prettily finished at the hand with their fullness gathered into a band which is hemstitched to a nar row flaring cuff. The blouse fastens with small, heavy pearl buttons and a lace insertion is set at each side of the hem in the front. ■,!amssiSK»*»K»a Velvet Hats for Fall. The Point. “I.qm afraid our bulldog has a tw ist It Is only his tali." screw Although you may make your choice among hats of many different shapes the chances are that it will fall upon something made of velvet, either plain or paume—and that that something will be simply trimmed. The capeline, the casque, the toque and the turban shapes, varied and interpreted In many ■Ways—they are all here. And they are dressed .up in velvet sometimes of two kinds and often of two colors. -Since the m atter of trimming is easily dis posed of that of. making and draping the hat may take much time. Soft crowns are everywhere. In the first hat shown in the group above, a wide brimmed shape, covered with paume velvet, has a crown that is a puff, accordion plaited; both these facts m arking it a hat of the hour. Its trimming is an ornament of jet and It . Is a brilliant all-black triumph of mlilinery art. ! The beautifully draped turban In petunia velvet has a very narrow drooping brim. All the draping flows upward In graceful lines from the cen ter of the crown where a wing Is posed. It is in the color of the velvet but- in various shades and follows the lines of the flower-like drapery. An odd shape not easily classified appears in the third h at.. It lays claim to originality and is made of gray vel vet on a shape that turns back off the face. A pair of gray wings with bright !iridescent feathers at the front sug gest a scarab, and they are mounted fiat against the turped-back brim. In dressy hats as In afternoon and evening gowns, iiiuch more attention is given to draping m aterials than for many seasons and draperies that con form to beautiful lines, serve to |e t off rich fabrics.

The censor’s duties have been reduced by many per cent. The soldier now has the sense of the situ ation engrained In his thinking, He sees through the need of keeping quiet even on m atters that call for some criticism. There is more humor and matter-of-factness about his letters. One of my men who can’t write very well, was telling me the other day that one letter a week is ail that he can summon up his courage to write, and he gave this as a reason: ‘The people at home don’t, can’t understand life here.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smaller if you lilie, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. He snys that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, foot and all, lifts right out. This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one’s feet. If your druggist hasn’t stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv. COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS Big Set of Beiis Is Being Made for Chapel at United States Military Academy at W est Point. AVhat is said to lie the most costly chime of bolls In America and one of the most musical sets in existence is now being made at the foundry of the JIenooiy Boil company of Troy, N. Y., for the massive rower of Cadet chapel. Rev. 11. P. Silver, chqplniii at the Uuiteil States military academy, AA’est Point, as the gift of JIrs. .Tames M. Lawton, in memory of her father, the late JIaj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who was graduated from the academy in ISJ3, and whose brilliant command of Port Sumpter at the outbreak of the Civil war has thrilled millions of read ers of American history, says the AVatcbman-Exaniiner. There will be 12 bells in the chime, the largest weighing nearly two to.ns and measuring -IU indies at its mouth. The cadet chapel is of stone quarried from rock found on the m ilitary grounds and cost Yb build about lialf a'miliion dollars. Its commanding po sition on the liill back from the Hud son river makes an ideal place for beils, and the patriotic airs from the chime will sound throughout the beau tiful highlands, in the m idst of which the military' academy is situated, and prove a source of inspiration to the fu ture generals of the.

Community apple-packing houses are likely to solve th e ‘problem of. labor in handling, In n short period, the in creasing apple crop of the Pacific Northwest. Tho success of the centra lized packing plants in 1916, !not previ ously tried to any considerable extent in this region, was indicated by the wide adoption of this plan last season when perhaps one-fourth of the crop In Oregon and W ashington was packed In community houses. Investigations of the new enterprise last season con ducted by specialists In the bureau of m arkets In the United States depart m ent of agriculture, and-now published In a prelim inary report, make avail able for interested organizations and. individuals, suggestions as to the best methods of constructing, equipping and operating such packing plants. Advantages of ,Community Packing. The advantages of the- community over the individual or rancli plan of packing, according to the specialists, nre- better and more uniform grading and packing, obtaining experienced la bor more readily and using inexperi enced labor more effectively, using ex pensive labor-saving equipment such as sizing machines and gravity con veyors which the small grower could not afford, and the simplifying and. fa cilitating of inspection work. Method Not Yet Perfected. The. community pneking-lio.use scheme is new and consequently an hnperfccted phase of the apple indus try. Although the idea was widely employed last year,- its adaptations were largely experimental. Investiga tion by departm ent specialists ivas un dertaken to sift from the various plans tried the best and m ost economical method of handling apples through all the operations of picking, hauling from the orchard, receiving at the packing house, grading, sizing! packing, storing and loading on the c;irs. Sixty pack ing houses a t or near Spokane, North Yakima, W enatchee, Cashmere, Bntiat, Pateros, Brewster, Okanogan, Omak, and W alla W aila, AVash., and Hood R iver and Medford, Ore. were includ ed in the study. Of these 60 houses, 33 were operated as community houses, 7 w ere operated by dealers somewhat on the community plan, 20 were ranch houses. Individual or ranch packing houses and operations were included in the investigation so that the effi ciency and economy of the two sys tem s m ight be compared. Helpful Summary. \ W hile the investigators preferred not to draw definite conclusions from a single season’s work, the discussions of equipment, organization and person nel, a floor unit, general operation, and specifically the operations in two typ ical houses, which m ake up the report, provide for growers of the Northwest w hat should prove a helpful summary of methods that were most successful last year.

It is often the case th at heavy crops of clover in the orchard cause the trees to grow too late in the season to perm it a proper seasoning of the wood. ’■ F or straw berries I would plowt un der a good crop of cowpeas for njtro-' gen, then add 1,200 to 1,500 pouuds of ground bone and 300 pounds of potash per acre, if on 'a stony hillside. Rocky Ford muskmelons make a .mighty good! crop to grow among or chard trees. Feed your trees plenty of phos phates and potash. M ost orchard land is lacking in sufficient quantity of potash. A tree should be pruned so that its roots udll extend out further than its branches. It costs a little money, and some time, to grow a! windbreak -for an or chard, but it is tim e and money -well spent. A m an m ay be a good wood chop per, but that is no sign he knows how to prune trees. An ax and a saw in the hands of ignorant men cause moi’e damage to the fru it crops than all the birds that are hatched. '. t G IV E O R C H A R D T R E E S P R O P E R P R O T E C T IO N Poor Practice to Pasture- Cows and Horses in Inclosure— Rodents Destructive. The care of young trees is of the greatest importance, as they are liable to., injury, not-, only from wild and domestic animals, but fro m 'th e human animal us. well. It is a custom w ith many, as soon as the fruit is all gathered, to turn the horses and cows into the orchard to graze off the grass. This is a ruinous practice, as the grass should be left to mulch the ground, the tram ping of the stock compacts the sod, and the low branches of the trees will be broken by the cattle. The orchard should be- securely fenced and the gate locked.’ It should not be used for pasturing cattle and horses, but m ay be used to pasture calves and sheep. - Rabbits and field mice are often destructive to young fruit trees when the snow covers the ground. Clear away all dead grass and weeds, from the trees. The simple practice is to surround the base of the trunk with a cylinder of w ire. netting. Dig a six-indh trench around the base of. the tree for the bottom of wire io rest in, then tram p the earth close to the wire, this will prevent the mice working under the wire. Tie the wire at the bottom and top. A strip of wire netting one foot in length and 16. inches in height, will be enough to en circle a medium sized tree. Another method is to surround the1 base of the tree with a strip of tarred paper, which may be tacked .tOj.'thq. tree. Heavy sheathing paper may. !bq, used. The trees should be protected by one of these methods' before a heavy fall of snow. Young trees should have mounds of earth, a foot high, drawn up around them ,-as it steadies them during heavy winds, and helps to ward off the mice. If the trees are not wrapped as direct ed above, after every fall of snow tram p the snow hard around each tree, this will afford slight protection. Blood sprinkled on the trunk will pre vent rabbits, but not mice, gnawing the tender bark. ws PERFECT GUM IirIiSXg The F la v o r Lasts J umb I Mavstiiiist I W Jr, and fatsgae E A R L Y P R E P A R A T IO N F O R O R C H A R D T R E E S Advantageous to Have Soil Fine Condition Before Start ing to Transplant. In Much is gained by good preparation of the soil for the orchard. Those who are to set orchards this fall will find it advantageous to have the land prepared and in fine condition when the trees are to be transplanted. Rough, poorly prepared laud not only makes it more difficult to transplant the trees, but it also increases the dan ger of losing, trees. It is really a'pleasure to transplant trees when the soil is in fine condi tion both as to preparation and as to the moisture supply. AYhen the soil is in ths condition and one has excellent trees the work gives satisfaction. One thing we should not forget, that it is much easier and cheaper to pre pare orchard land with the plow, the harrow and the disk than to do this work with the spade, shovel or pick wlieu the holes are being dug for the trees. ‘ Another thing to remember is that fruit trqes need a deep soil; shallow plowing is not sufficient: Break the land deep and do it as early as possi ble. KEEP UP FERTILITY OF SOIL Farm er Should Plan to Turn All Roughage Into Fertilizerto Add to Farm 's Service. Every means of husbanding the re sources for keeping up the fertility of the soil, should be resorted to by all persons haying the care of crop or pasture lands. Plan {o turn all rough age into some condition of fertilizer that will add to the farm ’s; seryide. Straw, fodder, cornstalks, with other roughage and refuse,, can be used for betiding, down stock lots when not con- STimed by the' animals-, in the cribs,' racks and feed bunks. This is readily converted into the best of m anure' to go onto the grass lands. Between Us Girls'. * JIiss Sharpe—Some men can be led, but others must be driven. , Young Sharper—Oh, yes!

We believe' yawning, praters and holes welling that our country could have done ease it should spend more on h u -; nothing else than engage in the man family—that the hum an race}conflict upon which we are wow* is as im portant as swine. Just- here we want to say a word. A nd that is it doesn’t look it. In these i days ot high price of living when a sm all and tender fragm ent of sow bosom i3 worth anywhere from seventy-five to eighty dollars, we doubt very much w hether a m an is as im portant as a hog.

A hcg is worto his weight in gold, these da?s, and we can pick you up a h alf hundred men who wouldn’t br«ig fifteen cents apiece—and therefore tbe country should proteet its hogs aud then if theie is anything left try it oh the men.

The hog is advancing in price—and if he keeps on scaring upw ard he will be flying w ithout wings,” Cannot Be Done. Every liitle white some of the editorial writerB take up the mat ter of the interned Germans. The idea seems to have gone abroad that these men were to be used as road builders. T hJ fact is that unless the U nited States violates international* law and thus does exactly w hat the Im perial govern lhent has done, the men cannot be put at tbe w ork of building roads. The men interned a t H ot Springs are not prisoners of war except in technical sense. . They were officers and members of the crews of merchantm en. W ith' tbe outbreak of the war they became interned in this country aud according to law they are to rem ain until the war is over— but there is no pos sibility of the governm ent usiog them in the work of road building. The Gharlotte Observer thinks that ••in the course of events the state Commission, or any e n te rin g . B ut while all the above is true, we should never forget, that oui churches stand for Kingdom o! Christ which is a kingdom of peacf and that they should use their in fluence to hasten the coming of the reign of peace throughout tb< whole world. If the pastors wilj heed all the requests to present | certain phases of the war to theii people, their pulpits will be turn- ed into forums for discussion Oii m ilitary affairs, and churches wil> become war bureaus. T ie church es are appealed to for money for everything connected with the war. Some of these claims, are meritorius. but no church has a right to cut off contributions to tbe Kingdom of God, even iQ this timt of stress and strain, because of thf uumerous calls that come from the country. However patriotic thest appeals may be, Christian patriot ism stands above them all and our duty to the kingdom of God- comt first. W e cannot-allow the inter ests of the Kingdom to suffer be cause of tbe needs of our nation al this time. W edo not ■ elieve that it i# right to drape our pulpits in the’ national colors or to have flags fly ing from the steeples of Oiir church buildings. The banner of tbe cross is the only emblem undei whieh the host of the Lord 6hould march and the' K ing of the uni verse is the only B uler whose an thority weushould recognize. When the people go tp church on Sunday , they should hear a message from' Christ onr Lord. A fter reading the papers all the week and having their minds filled with the accounts of strife and bloodshed, they should enjoy a quiet, peaceful hour on the Sabbath D ay. The story of his cross should be told for there is heart-hunger in every congregation, in normal times; and especially uow does the. soul reach out alter God. No m atter how many suggestions our pastors may have from the Government, Food other source whatsover, to preach ou topics re lating to the war, they.should form and adhere to the purpose which influenced Paul when.be su d , “ I , o i n p S f n f f r J ’ One Of Nature’s Warning* COf IWeak Or Disordered Kidneys.

L Has the world war proved Christanity a failure? We quote the following article from “The Commerdal appeal." WARTIME TEST FOR THE CHURCH. What effect war will have on the church of America has been a topic of general discussion. Will it advance the religious interest in the church at home or will it have an opposite effect? Will the men who fight under the flag cherish a new rc- ligous inspiration or will the brutal seems of carnage harden them to all thoughts of hereafter. These are problems that the c’trgy have before them, problems that are being given close thought and study. There is a, tragic likelihood that- the church will loose in spirtnal and numer ical strength, declares William T. Ellis, religious editor of the Philadelphia North American. This is probably true, unless the church awakens to a realization of what is hap pening. For two years, this authority declares, optimistic ecclesiastics have been speak ing in joyful tones of the great revival which they feel sure will follow the world’s greatest war. They feel that the world will turn toward God and that the hrm an family will be blessed with a gracious dispeasatioar There is another view that should be con sidered. There will be loft wrecks of hu man beings, embittered by the tragedy of war. who will not see the beauty of the life left to them. They have drained the cup of bitterness, their faith will have been destroyed, they will come back to their fellowmen with little of spirtual love left in their hearts. All will not be easy with the church. The fight to hold its own mu3t begin now if it is to be effective when peace restored. The churchis in tragic danger, accord ing to Mr. Ellis; it is in danger of losing her strength and many of her strength and many of her followers unless men of the cloth actively do their part at home, and they should also be actively repesented at the front. If ever there is a time in this world when an anguish heart needs comfo.t it is at home when the news comes of a death on the battlefield, and a wife and mother are confronted with the crjtl evidence of war. If ever a soul distraught is in the need of spirtual consolation it' is in the hospital of the wounded, when em bittered with the hardships ann merciless brutality of war, men who are soon to bid this earth farewell,. look with hardened eyes toward heaven. The church has a great duty to perform if it is .0 manifest its strength. It must not wait until peace comes to declare re newed hope in the supremacy of religion. Now- is the time for action.

More German Plots Exposed PfiOTECTlON GIVEN DOINGS OF GERMANS IN UNITED STATES DURING AUGUST, 1916. Powerful Explosives and Microbes Secreted on Legation at Bucharest for Destructive Use in United States of Lives and Property. Washington. •— H o w G e r m a n y "shamefully abused and exploited” the protection of the United States by secreting in the German legation at Bucharest, after the American gov ernment had taken charge of Ger many’s affairs at the Rumanian cap ital. quantities of powerful explosives for bomb plots and dfeadly microbes, with instructions for their use in de stroying horses and cattle, was re vealed by Secretary Lansing. It was another of Mr. Lansing’s se ries of disclosures of German intrigue, made public without comment in the same manner as the von Luxburg tel egrams which have brought Argen tina on the verge of war with Ger many, the Von Eckhardt letter from Mexico City, and the Von Bernstoril telegram asking the German foreign office for authorization to spend $50, 000 to influence Congress. The latest story is told in a report to the state departm ent from W illiam Whiting Andrews, secretary of the le gation at Bucharest, and a letter from Foreign M inister Parum baru, of Rumania. Suspicions Aroused. Parcels and boxes taken into the German consulate at Bucharest with display of great . precaution aroused the suspicions of the Rumanian gov ernment. On Angust 27, 1916, the evening prior to the date of Rumania's declaration of war, some of the cases were taken to the German legation, located in a different, building from the consulate. Convinced that the boxes were not taken away from the legation by the German diplomatic mission on its departure from Buch arest, the Rumanian authorities later ordered the police tofind and examine their contents. Tlie police communi cated with American M inister Pop- icka, then in charge of German inter ests, who reluctantly assigned Secre tary Andrews to observe the search. The boxes were found buried in the garden of the German legation. Mr. Andrews’ report says: “Upon my return from the exami nation which resulted in the discovery of the explosives and the box of mi crobes, both of which the legation ser vants admitted having placed in the garden, the form er confidential agent of the German m inister, Dr. Bern- hradt, who had been left with the -le gation at the German m inister’s re quest to assist in the care of the Ger man interests, admitted his knowledge of the explosives placed in the gar den; told me that more were In the garden than had been found, that a still larger quantity had been buried in the house of the legation and that still worse things than this box of mi crobes were contained in the legation, and insinuated that they would have been found even in the. cabinets of dossiers which I had sealed. “Dr. Bernhardt also stated that all these objects had been brought to the German legation after our legation had accepted the protection of Ger man interests, which agreed with the statement of the servants. A simi lar confession was made to the min ister by this man. “The protection of the United States -was in this manner shamefully abused and exploited. In this instance, at least, the German government cannot have recourse to its usual system of denial.” Fifty-one boxes were taken from the ground in the garden. Fifty of them contained each a cartridge filled with trinitrotoluene saturated with tnouomitroltoiluence, among the most powerful explosives known, one fifth of each being sufficient to tear up a Tailroad tracfl In the other box were bottles of liquid found to be cultiva tions of the microbes of anthrax and glanders. It bore a seal showing it came from the German consulate at Kronstadt, Hungary, and inside were found a typewritten note in German saying: For Horses and Cattle. “Enclosed four -phials for horses and four tor cattle. To be employed as formerly arranged. Each phial is suf ficient for 200 head. To be introduc ed, if possible, directly into the ani mals’ throats; if not, in their fodder. Please make a little report on the success obtained there; in case of good results the presence of Mr. Kos- toif for one day here would be desir- prove the origin of the boxes and their contents. * "It has been possible to prove in an undisputed way,” he said, “that before our declaration of war to Aus tria-Hungary when observing strict neutrality and’keeping-up normal re lations with the German empire the personnel of the German legation, vio lating all rules of neutrality and all duties of diplomatic missions,- intro duced clandestinely considerable quan- ties of extremely powerful explosive and cultivations of microbes destined to infect domestic anim als and in con sequence susceptible of provoking ter rible epidemics also among the human population. How Introduced. “There can hardly be any doubt about the way by which these sub stances were introduced Into Ruman ian territory, the very stringent police m easures at all frontier stations taken by the royal Rumanian government since the outbreak of the war and con tinually'm ade stricter since, prove sufficiently that these explosives and microbes cannot have reached this country otherwise than by diplomatic courier. “On the other hand, there can be no doubt the final object of the impor tation-' into Rumania as a well as about the use to which they were as signed. The explosives and the mi crobes were destined to be used in Rumania, very probably in tim e of peace.”. Washington—Further’- disclosures of far-reaching German propaganda, in trigues and plots in this country prior to the diplomatic beak with Ger many, were made by the committee on public information. “In the form of letters, telegrams, notations, checks, receipts, ledgers, cashbooks, cipher cides, list of spies and other memoranda and records." j the committee says; “were- found in*. ; dications—in some instances of the ! vaguest nature, in othes of the most j iamning conclusiveness—that the j Geman imperial government through j its representatives in a then friendly nation was concerned with: “Violation of the laws Cf the United States. “Destruction of lives and property In m erchant vessels on the high seas. “Irish revolutionaly plots against Great Britain.

In the first letter, bearing date of January 10, 1916, acknowledgment was made of an arrangem ent to pay ?100 a month to the “Illustrovani List,” published in New York. The second letter, dated November 5, 1915. Inquiry Virtually Assured. A conference between Secretary Lansing and Congressman Flood, chairm an of the house committee on foreign affairs, virtually assured an immediate investigation. The revelations will be used by the senate lobby committee, according to Senator Overman, chairman, as a ba sis for a resolution calling for an in quiry. In the senate Senator King, of Utah, read letters proving also the probable need of extending the scope of the inquiry into the activities of the Austrian embassy. Senator King showed photographic reproductions of the letters, together with receipts, proving the payment of money by the German embassy to a New York pub lishing firm. In directing the senate’s attention to the letters Senator King said he believed the time was not far off when it will be necessary for this eountry to declare a state of war existing with Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The letters, three in number, were exchanged between . the Austrian em- $700 to the "Telegram Codzienny,” a Polish newspaper, had been paid. The third letter, dated September 26, 1915, was from the embassy to the con sulate, enclosing a check for $400 to be paid to the Rumanian newspaper “Desteaptate Romane.” The other document submitted by 3enator King included a receipt for $2,000 paid to the “Fair _ Play Pub lishing Company,” of New York; a receipt for $1,500 to the same publica tion, and two other receipts signed by Count von Bemstorff, admitting payment of $2,000 and $1,000, respect ively. More Evidence Expected. D epartm ent' ’ of Justice officials gathered the evidence of eGrman in trigue. The investigations by the Se cret Service men, it was said, dated • back to tbe beginning of the war..Only illustrative exhibits from the depart m ent’s storehouse of data appeared in the.expose.. The congressional in vestigation is expected to bring out the. mass of material. The showing up of Count von Bernstorff and his accomplices and associates simultaneously with the pope’s peace proposals struck offi cial W ashington as intentional coin cidence, but the state departm ent re frained from adm itting any motive for the revelations other than the necessity of exposing the German methods. Spy Activities Revealed. ‘ Hitherto untold chapters of German spying, plotting and more subtle forms of lawlessness in this country were revealed by the Committee on Public Information. . The announcement is characterized as “the most im portant revelation of its kind since the first declaration of w ar In August, 1914.”, The announce m ent—which is really a narrative—is based in its entirety upon official documents in the Government’s pos session. Many of the.m,.are made pub lie now for tlie first time. They prove undeniably, • according to-- the government, “the- intim ate re lations between the accredited repre sentatives of the Kaiser in the United States and plotters against the IawB and the security of this country, whos eenterprise did not fall short of projected wholesale destruction of life and property.” was sent by the consulate to the em bassy to advise that the subsidy o£ (man of the house foreign affairs com- favor of Ireland for its effect here. “Pacifists” His Tools. The orgahization to . be employed was not named. It was freely sug gested among other officials, however, that it was one of the societies which* flooded members' of congress with peace messages when* President Wil son was asking that a state of war be recognized. This disclosure adds another chap ter to the amazing story begun with publication of the famous Zimmer man note. It connects the German government and Count von Bemstorff directly and conclusively with machi nations which the American public had assumed were a part of the world wide Teutonic intrigue, but which many people firmly believed were carried on or financed by , German-Americans without actual authority from Berlin. Little surprise was occasioned either in official circles or at the capitol, al though members of congress were highly indignant. There was some talk at the capitol of demanding an investigation and Senator Overman, Chairman of the senate lobby commit tee, and Representative Flood, chair- RETIRING m a jo r-g e n e r a l w il l BE SENT TO FRANCE FOR SERVICE.

Acted Suspiciously. On the floor of the house, Represen tative Heflin of Alebama asserted that he ’could- name 13 or 14 members of the two branches of congress who had acted suspiciously and expressed the .opinion that they should be investigat ed. Generally, however, the disposi tion was to regard as absurd any sug gestion that any part of the $50,000 sought by von Bemstorff was intended for members of congress. The von Berstorff message, dated January 22, follows: I request authority to pay out up to $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars), in or der as on former occasions to influence congress through^ the organization you know of, which can perhaps prevent war. I am beginning in the meantime to act accordingly. In the above circumstances a pub lic official German declaration in fav or of Ireland is highly desirable, in order to gain the support of Irish in fluence here. Renewed Kaiser’s Pledges. This message was sent nine days be fore the German government pro claimed its unrestricted submarine warfare. W hen he wrote it Count von Bemstorff was assuring the American government and press that under no circumstances would Germany violate her pledges of the Sussex case or do anything that m ight draw the-U nited States into the list of her enemies. The American government had made no move since the Sussex pledge and there was nothing on the surface to foreshadow impending trouble. Bvidence has been accumulated to prove that the ambassador not only was cognizant of, but actually direct ed, the activities of Boy-Ed and von Papen, the m ilitary and naval at taches, respectively, who were sent home long before the United States broke relations with Germany. More Revelations Coming. How complete is the evidence of German duplicity in possession of the government is only conjectural, but that it is far more than has been gen erally supposed now is certain. It was intim ated by officials that the series of revelations is now nearly complete. From the outside there are reaching the state departm ent echoes of the ap prehension sounded by friends of men towards whom suspicion has long pointed. There may be some discussion of the incident in the senate. New provis ions proposed by conferences on the trading with the enemy bill, authoriz ing the president to impose consor- ship over foreign cable, radio, mail and all other communication and for licensing of foreign language news papers, are the subjects on which dis cussion m ight hinge.

Very few of us would ever think of ordering orchid ice cream .without a little tremor of the pocket book, for everyone knows that the. orchid Is the most expensive of flowers. But there are thousands of persons who eat or chid ice cream dally. Although they probably have not been nwnre of the distinction, it Is none the less a fact. Of .course the Ice cream is not ordered by the aristocratic name of orchid, j On the contrary, it bears the very ple- j beian name of vanilla.

THERE COMES A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT— HOLLIS AND FERGUS M’CANN RESCUE THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN FROM DROWNING AT NIGHT Synopsis.—Robert Hollis, -who tells the story, is a guest on Girard Carrington’s yacht, Esm eralda. It is supposed to be a “stag” party, and Hollis is surprised on discovering a woman, who evidently wishes to remain unknown' aboard. Hollis, the next night, succeeds In having an interview with the woman. She merely tells him her name Js Vera. Carrington tells his guests of the coming war, and that he is engineering a copper pool. CHAPTER IV. The W reck of the Esmeralda. W e passed the greater part of the day below, and long before night came, a heavy, sweeping rain set in and kept us there. I never recalled a more blind ing, disagreeable storm, a t this season of the year, and in those waters, al though there was very little wind or sea accompanying it. The smother, however, made it safer to proceed a t half-speed, and the lookouts forward were doubled. ' It seemed a long evening, as I was In no spirit for cards, and discussion ‘was altogether about the war, and the projected copper pool. Carrington received several messages In further proof that the affair was already well under way, but he made no other at tem pt to arouse my interest. By ten thirty I had retired to my stateroom. Xet even there, and when partly dis robed, a temptation to explore the decks again assailed me. I unscrewed the port and glanced out, the cold rain driving hard against my face. Nothing - could be seen; I stared Into an impen etrable black wall. There was evi dently nothing to do but remain where I was, and I closed the port and lay down in the berth. ' I do not know what aroused me, but I sat up suddenly, wide awake, a strange, ill-defined fear clutching at my heart. W hat was It I had heard? a cry? a blow on the deck above? ■ Had - I - really heard anything, or was It merely the echo of a . dream? The stateroom was dark as. E rebus,'but I got-my feet over the edge of the berth, - and- switched on the ' electric light Elven as I stood thus, my hand still on ‘ the switch, someone rnn swiftly across the deck directly overhead,, and a voice Svavered out; “Port, sir! H ard aport—my God!” There was a startling crash forward, the awful sound of crushing iron and Splintered timbers. I was flung head long against the partition, barely sav ing myself by outstretched hands, but falling bruised and helpless to the deck. The electric flashed out instant ly, but a dull gleam from without ., streamed through the glass of the p o rt It was a ghostly green light, and I recognized it at' once as the port lan tern of the ship which had rammed us. Before I could get to my feet even, still dazed and trembling from the shock, the ghastly green radiance began to re- I W as Flung Headlong Against the Partition. ' cede. Rage took the place of fear— the dirty m urderer was backing off! , was. leaving us to sink! I clawed my uway across the stateroom, seeking to gain 1 view -without, but could- perceive little. The glass was • dimmed with moisture, and through it I could see merely the circle of green light reveal ing the outline of a high bow. No other gleam was visible, but above me U m an cursed hoarsely, and then -screamed out soine order, which I could not distinguish. AU this was the work of an instant. W hat had occurred was as clear to my m ind as though I had actually wit nessed the scene from the deck above. A great steel steamer, a tramp, no doubt, from its darkened decks, had plunged out of the blackness, and - rammed her bow straight into us. The ; contact m ust have been well forward . ..near the bridge. .W ewere going down by the head; already I could perceive the list, the deck underfoot was tilt ing; the engines had ceased to throb, as though the inflow of w ater had reached the boilers. Feet scrambled along the dack, overhead voices yelled, and I could hear the creaking of boat tackle. W orking desperately in the dork, scarcely able now to keep feet on the slanting planks, I hastily drew on w hat bits of clothing I could find a t hand, and felt my way bUndly to the door. It was jammed, but I kicked it open, and stumbled forth into the m ain cab in, cUnging to the door fram e in order to retain my feet. The stateroom' doors stood wide open, but no Uvlng being was visible. Ail who survived that flrst shock m ust have fled to the deck in m ad struggle to escape. Ay, and there was desperate need for me to join them. The Esm eralda was go ing down; already her forw ard hold was fiUed w ith .water, the bulkheads alone keeping her afloat; once they gave way, she would sink like a stone. I crossed the cabin on hands and knees, clawing my way desperately through the Utter until I attained the stairs. These no longer led up, but forward. Beyond was utter blackness, silence; and through the shattered door drops of rain splashed. It w as not until I had made m y way to the outer deck, and felt the night air and rain on my face, that I truly awoke to the danger. The tilt of the yacht forw ard was so sharp, I dare not re lease my grasp of . the rail. I could scarcely see anything;' not a light burned, not even a distant star glim m ered; the driving rain blinded me, and soaked through my shirt to the skin. ............................ I Scarcely dared move, for to release my grip w as to slide down Into the black water, into the riffle of spars and ropes forward. It w as aU horror and death that way, but from aft, un der the awning, a sound of excited voices reached my ears, and the rasp of boat tackle. No doubt all on board, who Uved1 were there, seeking to escape. They had sprung for the open deck a t the flrst alarm , not even w ait ing to dress, and, if I would join them, there was not an instant to lose. The after bulkhead could not hold long; any moment, any unusual roU of the sea, would rend it asunder, and the Esmeralda would sink. Life hung on seconds; nor would those frightened wretches w ait to learn the fate of any others on board. CUnging to every projection of the cabin,- I attained the port rail, but even as I attem pted the flrst step, a voice called to me from out the black depths below, and I hung there, star ing behind me, unable to perceive a thing, excepting a Utter of tangled wreckage. “Don’t leave m e! Give m e a hand.” “Who are you?” "McCann; you are Hollis, ain’t you?" “Yes; are you hurt?” “No; bruised a bit, no doubt; my foot is caught under a spar.” “Alone?” “The second m ate fell w ith m e; he’s down below—dead, I guess.” It was no sm all job getting to him, using the sUppery rail for a ladder, and I was knee deep in w ater when I finally found foothold In the riffle, and roUed the spar off the imprisoned limb. H e was lying flat on the deck," his head barely free of the waves'; but was able to clutch the nearest stan chion and haul himself up to the pro tection of the rail. H is face w as but a blurred - outline, although' I could perceive the glimmer of a white shirt. I stared beyond him into the black silence. - ~- “Tou say Seeley is down there?” “I fell on top of -him,” ■ the words scarcely audible. “He was trying to get into the cabin, when he lost his grip. -I tried to'catch him, and'he took me along. Say,” he was breathing- hard, “do" you know if there was a girl on board?” “Yes, there is, I m et her night be fore last on deck. Did Seeley teU you- where she was hidden?” “In a storeroom, next to the stew ard’s pantry; he said the door was locked.” Desperate as our own situation was, all thought' of personal danger left me in a sudden realization of the awful horror fronting her, almost under our very feet. I gripped McCann by the arm. “We m ust get her out of there,” I fCrIed. “Come on with me.” - “Where? Down—down there?”- ; “Yes, of course; you are a man, I take it. The lantern is still burning, and we have a chance. .Come now, wake up, McCann—we are Americans,- and it is women first, you know.” If he was a coward, he had no wish to let it. be known, although the- sud denness of disaster had' broken his nerve. The -words spoken, the tone of my voice, touched h is. pride, his real manhood. “Ah, you’re right, Hollis,” he said heartily, and the grip Of his hand tightened. “I’m no seam an; I hate the sea, but no one ever called a McCann a quitter. TIl go as far as you, and we’R get that girl out, or drown to gether.” I-w as climbing the rail before he fin ished, reckless of all else except the task confronting us. The- face of the girl whose hand I had held In mine under the light of the stars, seemed to rise before me, her eyes pleading for help. T he vision urged m e forward. I know not w hat strength or skill en abled me to swing from the rail and grip the cabin front, but I hung there with one hand, my feet finding slight support on the slippery slope of the deck, and reaching back, gave McCann support, while he also made desperate passage to the safety of the compan ion. An instant later I w as beside him, and we crept together down the In verted stairs. The frightfulness of our position be came m ore evident as we advanced. The dead bodies, the sm ashed furni ture, the horrid swaying of the hulk beneath us, suspended, we had to use the forw ard wall as a floor, crawling through the litter, made us feel that certain death m ust end the adventure. There was a hook In the deck below— for w hat purpose it had been placed there I do not know—but it gave, me foothold, enabling me to kneel. “Here, McCann, climb to my shoul ders,” I ordered, “and take down the lantern. Quick now ; I’ll hold you all right.” H Isi face w as ghastly, and he obeyed as though he moved in his sleep. Ev ery m uscle In me felt the strain, but I held him, straightening out m y body, and balancing-myself, until his uplift ed hands gripped the light. “H ave you got it?” “Yes;- let me down slow ly” . “All right; hang on to it for your life—now.” My arm s gave under the strain, and a sudden surge of the sodden wreck, but he held to an end of the overturned piano, the light still burning feebly, threatening every instant to flicker out. I caught and steadied it, turning up the wick, and casting the faint glimmer along the passage leading to the. steward’s pantry. I slipped down, gripping the lantern, the dim, smoky glow of which made the passage' visible. The pantry door stood open; indeed, I doubt if it had a door, but everything else w as closed. McCann w as ju st above me, and I sung out to him to hold fa st; then, the lan tern w ire gripped in my teeth, I low ered myself the full length of my arms. This brought the W ater to my knees, while the lodged chairs were a foot or two below. As I hung there, dreading the plunge, my eyes were directed op posite the pantry, and the gleam of the lantern glittered on the blade of a hatchet ju st inside the door. Never w as a tool more welcome. “Hold tight above there,” I managed to ejaculate through dosed lips. “W hat are you going to do?” “Swing in toward the door on the right—there is a hatchet lying there.” W ith feet braced against the oppo site wall, I forced my w ay across, mak ing three efforts before my fingers finally gripped Qie hatchet handle. Clinging w ith one hand, I thrust the tool into my belt, fully prepared now to let go. CHAPTER V. The Rescue of Vera. “Take this lantern, McCann,” I called, and held it up to him, “I’ll need both my hands free. Hold it as low as possible.- Now, here goes!’ I did not pray audibly, but a prayer w as in my heart, as I released my grip on the-rug and took the plunge. The first chair crumpled beneath - my weight, but by good , luck the second held ju st long enough to enable me to grip the latch of the door and-cling tight. The slant of the deck gave one groping foot precarious purchase , on the threshold, although w ater swept nearly to my waist, and for a moment I tottered there,- helpless to- do more than merely sustain my position. The •noise m ade by this struggle m ust have been heard within, for I became aware of w ater splashing, and a fist pounded the door.., . • “H elp! Is that you, Mr. Seeley?” “No,” I answ ered,; nerved to new effort by the sound of her voice, and the knowledge that I had indeed locat ed the right spot, and found her still alive. “This is Hollis. Is the door locked?’ '- “Yes, Mr. Seeley has the key;.you m ust' .be quick—the w ater is already above my waist.” “No tim e for keys, then,” I - said. “Stand back until I cut a way In. Throw' your light down; Mc£annr?-ay, that’s better!" . - ^ The latch of the door was forw ard; I could cling to it, and have my right hand free with which to wield the hatchet, keeping both feet wedged on the threshold. The light w as the m er est' gUtnmer, yet sufficient to reveal the' paneling of the door, and I hacked a t this fiercely, exerting the full strength of my . arm. A dozen-.blows splintered the upper, panel, and then I sent the keen blade crashing down- ward, gouging out great chunks and splinters .'until a jagged passage had been made, sufficiently large for the passage of a body. The w ater , was deeper in the cabin than in the open ing, drenching me nearly to the arm pits. McCann called in warning, his voice cracked w ith a terror he could no longer control. "W ait; I ’ll be there In a m inute!” I shouted back, my only fear lest he de sert us. The bulkhead still held; this torrent was w ater which had found other entrances; no doubt i t -would eventually increase In volume and sink the vessel, yet there w as still ample time for us to escape. There would be no sudden plunge while th at bulkhead held. "Are you all right, Miss Vera?” I asked anxiously. “W here are you? Can you see me?” “Yes; I am clinging to the berth.” H er voice was excited but clear. “The woter is up to my shoulders. Is the opening sufficient?” “F or you, I think, if you can m ake it alone. I should have to ^ knock out another panel to get through myself." “There is no tim e for that, and no need. I’m coming now ; watch out.” Our two bodies so obscured the faint glow of the lantern dangling from Mc Cann’s hand above that I could see nothing, yet I m anaged to grapple her arm, and thus assist in dragging her into the jagged opening. The water,, surging to the sodden roll of the doomed yacht, and now dammed by her body, poured over us both in suffocat ing volume, but the struggle w as only for a moment, and then I bad the girl safely clasped in my arm s, her head elevated well above the receding flood. “Now, grasp the rug,” I ordered, as I thrust her light form upward. “It will help you creep up the slope of the deck. Creep on back, McCann, w ith the lantern; never m ind me—Tll find a way out.” She possessed sufficient nerve and strength for the effort There w as no hesitancy, no word of protest. Silent ly, inch by inch, she fought her way aft, her feet slipping on the w et planks, but her fingers gripping desperately a t the sustaining cloth. I could see only the outline of her.revealed against the gleam of the lantern, as McCann clambered upw ard in advance. I could hear the groaning of the bulkhead to the strain, and realized th at the tim bers could not IongJiold against the immense w eight , Suddenly the fear had come into m y h eart; n o t until then, had I paused to think—effort had ob scured all conception of danger; but waiting there in th at black hell, the creaking of tim bers in my ears, the wa ter clutching m y throat, the full hor ror of it overwhelmed m e .with sudden terror. My God! S urelyw ecouldnot have accomplished all this, and still be doomed to die like rats in a hole. A t least we.m ust reach the open deck, and have a chance to fight for life under the stars. Yet, once I had attained the cabin, all this left me. Ghastly as the wreck of th at interior appeared, the wider space brought back to me the seaman’s courage. There w as hope yet, an opportunity to fight. McCann had dropped the lantern on the overturned piano, and w as urging the girl for ward toward the stairs. T error m ade him oblivious to everything except a mad desire to escape, but she was glancing back, as though in search for me. I clambered to my knees amid the litter of furniture, and snatched up the light barely in tim e to keep it from sm ashing on the deck. “I am ail right,” I called confidently. “Get outside both of you as quick as you can.” Never in all my life have I experi enced the sam e sense of relief as when I stumbled out of th at companion onto the open deck, and felt the night air in my nostrils; yet not until then did my brain truly grasp the desperate na ture of our situation. The gleam of the lantern revealed the sharp slope of the deck, and the surge of w ater churn ing from rail to rail scarce a dozen feet aw ay; the riffle of tangled spars and ropes to port under which I knew lay dead bodies; the sm ashed bulwarks, and a wrecked sm all boat banging stern down from a' davit, w ith a m an’s arm and head dangling. All about us the night and sea w as black a s Irik— not a glow anyw here' except a single jWhlte gleam fa r away to starboard like a distant star. It w as' not a sta r—it was fa r too close to the horizon—be yond doubt Jt w as a m asthead light on the steel m onster which had run us down. . . I held the lantern -behind my body, and stared out through the void a t the faraw ay spark—it w as no more than a pin-prick, barely visible across miles of open water, and growing fainter each second. I. read the whole meaning, despair clutching my heart. The vessel had w aited and picked up the Esm eralda’s boats; believing she then had on board all who lived, she had resum ed her voyage. W e were alone, deserted, in the m idst of the dead, possibly without even a chance to save ourselves from going down w ith the sodden wreck. But if there should be a chance there remained not an instant- to lose. I flashed the light about into the face ctf McCann and the girl, the m an white and haggard, his eyes as dull as though he had taken on opiate, absolutely stu pefied w ith fear. B ut the. girl! . In the gleam of the laatem hjw e y e s ,f« | mine, full ctf questioning bt^ feariepo* She m ust have seen, and-: understood also, for she called to me, clinging tb th e.rall to keep her footing, her loos e n e d hair flapping In the wind: , “They are leaving us, Mri Hollis? Is not th at the stbamfer o u t there?”.. “Ay; the last glimpse, we’ll ever have of heri” I answered bitterly, forgettihg m yself in- anger. ‘!The d : brutes think inore of a feyv dollars than our lives. ; B u t' we’ll m ake a J g h t ju st the same. Come, w ake up. M cCann! Aft w ith you—oh, yes, you can; crawl along the ra il; once beyond the cabin there’s good foothold. Now, m y lady, H l not*lot you fall—good! You are the better sailor of the two.” I held the lantern in my. teeth, and clambered after .them. It was a thirty- foot climb, but .the rail stanchions m ade a fair ladder, giving good hand, and-foot hold, although occasionally th e hulk beneqtii us rolled so heavily in the -sea as to bring us to a. pause, clinging grim ly to the tarred rope in order to retain.our balance. Twice I thought the doomed yacht w as actu ally going down, as under the blow of some :swell she lenned heavily to star board, giving glimpse of the black w ater ju st below - where we dung so desperately. Xet w ith sodden, sick ening motion, like the last painful ef fort of a dying creature, she managed j to right herself once more, every tim ber groaning In agony, the salt spume of the sea blown Into our faces.

There had been four boats hung in davits above the rails ; two of them were gone; one hung trail ing overboard, half submerged, w ith the bow still swinging to the tackle; the fourth had been smashed into kin dling. I staggdred across to . where I could look down a t the dangling, craft, holding, my lantern out over the raIL It w as broken am idships and useless, but jam m ed under a thw art lay a m an’s body; the gleam of light rested on the upturned face, -and I recognized w ith horror the features of Fosdick. ~ Sickened, covering my eyes w ith one arm, I clung to the shattered rail, com pletely unnerved. The voice of the girl aroused me, brought me back tc manhood. “M r. Hollis, the dory is still here!" I sw ept the lantern about, confused, and unable to locate the sound. Mc Cann w as crouching against the cabin, but the woman, aided by the. flag locker, had crept aft, and now leaned out oyer the stern rail and w as point ing eagerly down into the black w ater. I worked my way cautiously forw ard to w here she clung, the lantern swung overside, its sm all ring of light giving me view of the whole uptllted stern. The dory, w hich.had evidently been left trailing astern, w as actually afloat, although half filled, and her oars, jam m ed securely under a thw art, w ere still in place. The position of the vessel, the w ater logged condition of the sm aller craft, told m e a t a glance the whole story. W hat w as left of the crew of the E s m eralda, together w ith those guests who had lived to attain the deck, had m ade their escape in the two missing boats—they would hold tw enty each, and w ere strong and seaworthy. No doubt the smashed one there had been lowered first, but the tackle jammed, and in the "wreck Fosdick had been killed. The others had clambered aboard the two left, leaving him crushed bhhind.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Ooings and Happenings T hat Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Denying a rumor circulating genor-. ally that it is the purpose of the na tional government to seize food sup-. plies belonging to individual families, Director B. W. Kilgore, of the agri cultural extension service, calls em phatic attention to a recent statem ent received by him from W ashington that the government does not intend to seize any home food supplies. Many variations of this rum or have been deliberately circulated and many families have been prevented from conserving foods thereby. Mr. Kil gore states that this rum or has prob ably been circulated by our enemies for the purpose of preventing our people from canning, drying and oth erwise conserving their food products. The extension service of the Col lege of Agriculture and departm ent of agriculture has through its various di visions and field workers emphasized the importance of saving all food pos sible in order that households them selves may have a cheap and plenti ful supply of food. There has never been any intention of the federal gov-‘ ernment to seize any of this. Rather, it would be more likely to further en courage the conservation of still more food in order that the output of staple food products from the chief produc ing regions be available for use by the armies of this country and of our allies. Some families state th at they heard that all canned m aterial over 100 quarts will be seized. Others state that all canned food will be taken and sent to England. AU of this is ab surd. The state and national'agricul tural agencies wish to do all in their power to aid in the helping to com bat the high cost of living and for this reason have furnished men and women to instruct the -people how to can, preserve, and dry perishable food products, properly. Director Kilgcre appeals to all loyal citizens to aid in dispelling any mis taken idea th at may exist in regard to food seizure and to further encour age the efforts of producers to save all available food m aterial possible. Community Fair W ork Growing. The three community fairs held in the state in 1915 have grown now un til. according to the records of the fair division of the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, there will be 175 or more held in the state this year. The perplexity which the fair divi sion is trying to solve at the present time in providing for fairs may be measured by the num ber of m en and women who acted as judges last year. In all, 95 employees of the college, the department, the experim ent sta tion and extension service rendered invaluable service last season in judg ing farm crops, live stock, home eco nomics products, educational exhibits and composite groups. According to the records of the fair division Gaston county leads the state In the number of community fairs, having scheduled twelve for this sea son. Sampson county comes next with nine, followed by Catawba and Haywood with six each, with Lincoln, Harnett, Franklin and Burke booked for five, and Stanly, Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Madison, W ilson and Le noir for four each. This season’s community fair ac tivities see 54 counties represented m the co-operative work which the department of agriculture is carrying on with individual communities by furnishing financial assistance and ex pert judges. One hundred and sev enty-five community fairs have made application to. the departm ent for co operative assistance. This figure Is a record-breaker for fair work. In addition to its. community fair work, the "department of agriculture will co-operate this year with the State fair, eight district fairs, four county fairs, and 14 negro fairs. As In other lines of extension service en deavor, North Carolina seems to be leading other states in developing fairs. North Carolina’s fair season begins September 15th and will extend through November. Every communi ty fair which made application for funds will receive-the benefit of. $21 to be applied to premiums and prizes. Secretary Issues New Charters.

In order to clear iip "mis Unde-Tstand- sngs about the. authority Iof the !gov ernor with respect to decisions of the local and • district exemption boards Governor BiCkett issued a statem ent explaining that the power of the gov ernor is limited to the interpretation of the law, and he has no power to reverse or review the discretion of the local or district boards in passing upon the facts. If it appears to the governor that the board .has acted upon an erroneous legal principle, he is authorized to lay down the correct principle and ask the board to reopen the case and pass upon it In the light of such orinciple. The governor's statem ent follows-. The regulation in regard to the power of the governor over exemp tion boards set forth in Bulletin 89, issued on September 18, 1917, pro vides: 'An individual who believes that a local or district board has erroneous ly interpreted law may call the atten tion of the governor of his state to the case. Where It is clear that the decision of the board, is in error the governor may inform the board of the !aw and request it to reopen the case. By these means it is thought that a substantially uniform execution of the law can be had throughout the United States and that the few cases of individual hardships resulting from uniform or unlawful decisions of the various boards may be corrected. ‘It will be clearly seen that the reg ulation lim its the power of the gov ernor to the interpretation of the law, and he has no power to reverse or re view the discretion of local or district boards in passing upon the facts. If it clearly appears to the governor that an exemption board has acted upon an erroneous legal principle, the gov ernor is authorized to lay down ths correct principle and ask the board to reopen the case and pass upon it in the light of such correct principle of law. “In passing upon complaints made, the governor will be compelled to fol low the rules of the district boards and consider only sworn w ritten state ments. He cannot accord to any one personal interviews who have com plaints to make as his judgment m ust be based upon written statem ents that are made a record in his office. The attention of the public is espe cially called to this ruling to the end that parties having complaints may not go to the trouble of coining to’ see the'governor in person, but may reduce them to writing, swear to them before some officer, and mail them to the governor.” Chairman of Public Information. Santford Martin, private secretary to Governor Bickett, has been made chairm an of the North Carolina com m ittee of public information, of the council of defense, a patriotic serv ice that Mr. M artin is glad to render without charge for much arduous la bor that the position entails. Mr. Mar tin has begun this work, issuing for widest possible circulation in every section of the state a number of im portant documents for stirring the people to the fullest poossible dis charge of their duty in conservation and in every other way- furthering the best interests of the people in this great war crisis. ' . Mr. M artin says that during the past week the state council of de fense has..m ade m arked progress in its work the past week. For instance advices from every section of the state show that there is absolute loy alty to the government and a stead fast determ ination to wage the war to a final victory; that there is a willingness and almost an eagerness to m ake sacrifice of time, means and personal convenience to further the plans of the state and nation to min ister to soldiers and promote the gen eral welfare. He says a unique move for aiding soldiers is reported from- Brunswick where, under the leadership of C. Ed Taylor, soldiers are furnished with a card designed to provide for close touch and co-operation between the soldier and the Brunswick committee during the war, with the committee undertaking to render every possible free service to the soldier. Mill Will Have Group Insurance. The Fidelity Hosiery Mills of New ton are taking out insurance policies on the lives of its operatives, under the group. insurance plan. The pol icies are to be given to the opera tives, the expenses borne by the com pany. The mills become the trustee of the operatives and in event of death w ill,cash the policy. The, plan is ■ to make the policy lor $300 for first year and increase $100 per year for each operator remaining in their employ until the policy amounts to $500.

Paul Revore’s name was made im mortal when he rode' from Boston to Lexington and Concord, warning the patriots along the way of the British approach, and ids fame has ,been se curely enshrined in the lieartsio fall Americans. 'H istorians have honored themselves in honoring him. Poets have found in spiration in praising him. He is an idol of. childhood, an example in the prime of manhood and a solacing mem ory of old age. How few characters loom up like great peaks above the mountain ranges of tim e! And Paul Revere was one of these.

But while we give deserved glory to Paul Revere, let us no longer forget that there was another hero in that wild midnight ride, says a w riter In the ChristKm Herald. There was the horse. “Any other liorse might have done as well,” yon think? WfelI, so might any other man have done as well, perhaps. So might we flippantly disparage any hero. But the fact remains that it was Paul Revere’s liorse thnt did it. And the harder work fell on the horse. But for the true horse’s faithfulness, Paul Re vere wotild have been a failure.

STJTE DEPARTMENTS HELP AU Buildings W here Food and Sup plies Are Stored Will Be Guarded Against Destruction By Flre or W aete. Organization of one of the m ost ef fective patriotic bodies In the state has recently, been perfected by spe cial agents, inspectors and field men of virtually all fire insurance com panies doing business in North Caro lina. It is the purpose of the organi zation to make inspection of all build ings where food supplies or clothing supplies may be concentrated to guard against possible loss by fire of any goods which are needed In the prose cution of the war. The organization was perfected re cently a t a conference of insurance men in the office of State Insurance Commissioner Jam es R. Young In Raleigh. Present at the meeting were Governor Biekett, Commissioner Young, S. Y. Tupper, of ,Atlanta, Southern m anager of the Queen Insur ance Company, Milton Dargan of At lanta, Southern m anager of the Royal Insurance Company and A. M. Schoen, engineer for the National Board of lire Underwriters. The conference was also attended by J. M. Broughton, Jr., and A. T. Bowler, president and secretary respectively of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and Prof. W. A. W ithers, president of the Raleigh Rotary Club. Co-operation of all the machinery of the State Executive and administra tive departm ents was pledged by Gov ernor Blckett and Commissioner Young. A committee of Insurance men was appointed to arrange the de tails of the campaign and the plan to be carried, out contemplates the dis tricting of the entire state, each dis trict to be under the supervision of one of the insurance men who wil! make frequent inspections of all whole sale houses or food depots, grocery stores or other places where food stuffs are concentrated.. Other. . in spectors will look after cotton gins and cotton warehouses and all kind: of depots. The work' thus dqne is under the supervision of experts who will give without cost-their trained experience to aid in the National campaign against unnecessary fire waste in the stringent w ar -. period. Whdle . these men are representatives of; insurance companies, the work thus undertaken is under the direction of the Nations’ Government, and the direct supervision of the Council of National" Defense Recommendations will be made and tnstruetionsLfi fire prevention given to citizens and; property owfiers and where it is necessary property owners may be compelled to follow these in structions given by these Inspectort as w ar measures. The campaign is part of the nation wide plan adopted by the National Board of Ffre Underwriters. Similar organizations have been made or arr being made:-In every state. Represen tatives of the National Board at the meeting heid In Raleigh stated that the work was better understood by the insurance men in North Carolina and the campaign gives better promise of accomplishment here than in any state they ; had visited. Commis sioner Youiig has been urging work of this sort—that Is the adoption of m easures to; prevent fires - and the subsequent ' unnecessary waste: of food and supplies—Blnce the ' war started and through a continuous series of appeals to the citizens of the state, city and county officials, : a considerable amount of success has been accomplished and it is the belief of the commissioner that the people ate familiar-enough w ith the situation to carry the plan on to a great suc cess and In, this m anner to add to the Campaign North Carolina’s "bit” In a valuable work. PREPAREDNESS. The man. or woman In the United States who iaNnot aroused to the ne cessity of preparedness for w hat the men m ust bear and do for the coun try and civilization In this w ar does not realize the seriousness of the" sit uation.

The spread of the fire to ad joining propery is made priina fade, evidence ot.carelessness and’the bur- -den of proof is .placed on the property owner.—Monitor. • PARAMOUNT DUTY IS TO CONSERVE FOOD Some Pertinent Facts are Brought out in Argument Favor- I ing Effort to Reduce Fires Where They Will Consume Foodstuffs and Other • Supplies Needed in This Emergency In an article headed “The Treason of W aste” in a recent bulletin issued by one of the largest insurance com panies in America some pertinent facts are brought out in argum ent favoring every effort looking to the prevention of fires where they will consume foodstuffs and - other sup plies needed in the great enfergency the United States is now facing. Day by day the people of the country are being brought face to face with the fact that America is actually a t war. More and more they are being brought to realize that the tim e has arrived when every saying of whatever na ture will bring its rew ard to the frugal. • • The one outstanding fact that needs to be emphasized just at" this tim e is that foodstuffs destroyed by ,fire con stitutes a total loss. Insurance money collected does not replace the actual foodstuffs. The people cannot eat money. The param ount duty, there fore, is to conserve the food supply after the crops have been harvested. Every thinking American realizes that there is going to be a certain amount of foodstuff sent to the bot tom of the Atlantic by subm arines after it has been shipped, probably to feed American soldiers who are fight ing in France. T hat part has to be allowed for. T hat fact m akes it all the more essential that every ounce of foodstuff, made m ust be protected against carelessness which will lead to its destruction. Some of the suggestions In the big insurance company’s bulletins are as follows: “W aste now borders on treason— nothing less. And so doe3 extrava gance insofar as it m eans waste. It is difficult for this obvious and un pleasant fact to penetrate the con science of the average person. But It is true nevertheless. And we will either accept this fact by the easy process of reason or have it driven into our minds and hearts by the heavy hand of w ar., “No loyal American w ants to help the enemy, and yet we are doing it every day. W e give direct aid to the enemy by every ounce of bread, or of grain, or of . food of any sort destroy ed or unnecessarily consumed. ”By such w aste we are keeping sorely needed food and supplies from our brave friends in the trenches and from the distressed people they are defending—m any of whom are now suffering from hunger. “We are also thus bringing hard ships from food shortage upon our own people, and ham pering our w ar efficiency. It is, therefore, the im per ative duty of every citizen to enlist promptly In the w ar against waste. “In the nam e of common hum anity and common sense, let us a t once adapt ourselves to the extraordinary war conditions which have come up on us.- W e m ust adjust our m inds, our work, our pleasures, and our expend!-. tUres’, and In fact our lives to the' new order; of thihgs". Extravagiance and waste "must give way to rational economy, and especially to the con servation of food.' “It seems certain -we will econo mize either voluntarily or by force. W e already have a taste of this force in the shortage , and constantly ad vancing price of food. “The people of Europe are now on short rations. Millions of penniless and homeless people are now being kept alive by food, clothing and care furnished by charity and by the gov ernm ents of the nations a t war. In spite of this, m ultitudes of lives have been lost through hunger, exposure and lack of medical attention, espe cially. among infants and children. In some of the .; devastated sections famine conditions still prevail. “If we do not want sim ilar con ditions here we m ust enlist in the w ar against waste.' 'O ur country is prosperous; labor was never so uni versally employed as now. Railroads are blocked with freight and short about 150,000 cars to handle traffic. Common labor is receiving as high as $3 per day and our farm ers find dif ficulty in securing m en. to . harvest even our short crops. OUr agricultural output m ay be far below normal. Our surplus food is largely exhausted by exports. T h s cost of the staple foods has increased from" two to five: tim es since 1914, and the. advance still con tinues. “Is it not tim e for every one of us to abandon the ‘treason of w aste’?’’ ONLyiflPERCENT OF ALL ACCIDENTS !PREVENTABLE CARELESSNESS, THOUGHTLESS NESS, UNDUE HASTE, AND IG NORANCE CAUSE MOST ACCIDENTS. Statistics com piled. by one. of the leading life insurance companies Of -America show th a t'in the "United States during the year 1916 there were approxim ately 34,000 fatal accidents; 600,000 serious injuries, and 4,000,000 other Injuries. These figures alone are appalling, but when it is known that approximately ninety per cent of these accidents were preventable the realiza tion begins to dawn on one that an awful toll of life and limb is being paid to grim “accidents," and the tim e has come when some step should be taken toward elim inating this need less human suffering. Of this enormous num ber of acci dents over one-half have been classi fied as "industrial” accidents or acci dents occurring to . employes .of the m anufacturing industries and public service corporations throughout the country. Of -the great num ber of industrial accidents possibly 50% could have been avoided if workmen had not been careless. Another 25% could readily be attributed to “thoughtlessness” while an additional 15% was caused by “undue haste” and "ignorance,” thus leaving only about 10% due to unavoidable and unpreventable acci dents. - - - Investigation of accidents reported during the past five months has re vealed the fact Hhat the greater part of these accidents could have been pre vented. Disobedience of orders; wil ful neglect, carelessness and bad prac tices are factors in a large - m ajority of cases, and inasmuch as untold suf fering and ..a great economic Joss are occasioned by these factors, It m ight be worth while to cite, a few accidents which have occurred In order to show to what extent care and thoughtful ness are needed reduce this awful toll which Is being-exacted .as the price of carelessness and ignorance. The follqwing are a few typical cases In which the above mentioned factors caused the accidents and rep:, resent the classes of accidents which .could easily be prevented if every person concerned would be careful f •5 r : Reckless 'Driving. ., persons lost their lives when a wild driver L fter racing w ith a pas senger -train attem pted to cross In front of the engine because he had a little distance on the locomotive. Four persons were killed when an automobile stopped on one line of a double-track railroad while a train passed on the other. As soon as the train had passed another train com ing from the opposite direction struck the car w ith fatal results. Disobedience of Orders. . At .a rock quarry an employe, in di rect disregard' of orders, rode on a truck loaded with stone. This truck was allowed to run down an incline by gravity,' and instead of walking be hind as he had been told to do, the ejnploye climbed on a truck and in jumping got off under th e wheels. His left ankle was broken and In addition he was badly bruised, so that he was compelled to rem ain .away from work for many weeks and to lose consider able In wages, besides- enduring a great am ount of suffering. Taking a Chance. An employe of a certain plant had occasion to examine a motor. Instead of making the exam ination from the outside of the guard rail, which in th is case was possible, he evidently climb ed or stepped over the guard rail and was caught, by the driving belt. He was Immediately whirled to his death. Had it been absolutely nec essary for this m an to go inside the guard rail, his first act should have been to stop the motor, thereby re moving all-possibility of an accident. The chance taker eventually gets caught. Neglected Wounds. The following accidents dem onstrate the necessity of the-prom pt reporting of all injuries, no m atter how trivial, for attention and treatm ent. Serious cases of blood poisoning often occur from neglect, and not only result in the loss of dollars and cents but also cause great suffering, with perhaps the loss of a finger, hand, leg or even life. An employe in a mill while changing rolls , caught his finger on a sharp edge o f.a bolt and failed to have it attended to. As a result the wound became, infected, necessitating.the ab sence of the injured m an from his work for three weeks. Improper Uce of Freight Elevator. An employe in a warehouse was or dered to get some m aterial from the third floor. It was necessary for him to use the elevator. Lifting up the safety gate he-started the elevator and when it reached^ the floor on which he was standing he attem pted to Jump on (while, the elevator was In motion. His ifoot slipped and his body was caught between the safety gate and the floor of the elevator. He was instantly killed. No person should attem pt-to step on or- off a moving elevator. Re peatedly. accidents w ith serious and. fatal results have ,occurred in thiB m anner. ' "V-.
