NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 8. 1918. A MUNITION PLANT IN EVERY BACK YARD. (Charles Lathrop Pack, P reudent of the National Emergency Food ! G arden Commission in The O utlook.) Government figures indicate that not less than six hundred thousand men trained and experienced in farm work have been taken from the farms of America since the be ginning of this country’s partici­ pation in the war. ihese figures are omoious. With six hundred thousand farm workers suddenly shifted in. to the class of non producers it re quires no imagination to foresee that 191S will show a more griev oos shortage of farm labor than did 1917. Every one knows how severe was that shortage last season. No one can fail to realize what this will inevitabiy mean in the matter of farm production. With this definite handicap in sight for the farm crops, the back yard and vacant lot garden be­ comes more than ever a war garden and a national necessity. The single factor most vital to military success is food. Food is one thing for which there is no substitute. When Germany was cut off from the nitrate fields of Chile, German chemists and engineers comman­ deered the nitrogen of the air for creation of the nitric acid essential in the manufacturing of explosives. Wood pulp has been substituted for cotton fibre in the making of gnn cotton, and. in divers other ways science, by ,devising substi­ tutes, has overcome shortage. No scientist has yet discovered a sub­ stitute for food. The only solution of the food prob’em is an increased production, and to make this pos sible the home gardners of Ameri­ ca face 191S with a responsibility Iar greater thau that which they set about their work last season.' Volume is not the . sole .require ment of food production in; this time of emergency. Conservation of transportation is equally impor­ tant. So far as possible, all food should be grown in the immediate neighborhood of its place of ulti­ mate use. It is imperative to the national welfare that no avoidable, strain be placed on the transpor­ tation facilities of the country. Shipments of foodstuffs require freight cars that are urgently needed for shipments of munitions, fuel, and other supplies vital to the needs of a nation at war. Un­ necessary shipments must be elim- nated. This means production of food where it is to be need. Thfs involved the cultivation of food gardens at every home and every inch of vacant land in the neigh borhood of cities,; towns and vil lages. Last year the National Emergency Food Garden Commis­ sion reported the existence of near­ ly three million gardens in yards and vacant lota. !This added in­ crease will be non' too great to meet the increased needs of a situation immeasurably more serious than was that of 19i7. One of the means which will prove most helpful to the;- home gardner in adding to the food sup­ ply is the national daylight savipg scheme, which Germany adopted early in the war, and which a number of other nations have since put into operation with great profit as a war i measure. This simple plan of turning the clock forward and starltng the day’s work an hour earlier during the summer months will give an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon, which will furnieli the opportunity of devoting that much more time to the cultivation of the soil. The results which can! be accomplished by the addition of an hour every day for gardening work will large* Iy increase the product raised. We are urging thp prompt passage at this' session of jCongress of the pending bill. j , f ■ By their energjy, industry and application in 161,7 the home gar: deoers of the United States showed that they were alive to the call of pitriotisin. The, garden B lacker received no more Cordial consider­ ation than did the military slacker, Home gardening has come to be re­ garded as the gift of a patriotic people to a nation in need. It is also an enterprise of individual benefit. Through garden activi ties alone Americans in hun dreds of thousands of households have learned new lessons in the joy of living. Last year’s • excur­ sion into home gardening was to many a voyage of discovery as to the delights of the'table when sup­ plied with vegetables freshly gath­ ered from the home garden. It was also a journey of exploration through a land of new healthful ness and of strength revealed through the medium of outdoor ex­ ercise and wholesome vegetable diet. The coming season should see the recultivation of every garden cultivated.in 1917, and the addi tion of all other garden planting area available. During three and a half years o£ warfare the allied nations have drained their agricul­ tural resources to a point where productive possibilities are now at a minimum. The worlds shipping facilities are so inadequate that the European food supply must necessarily come from America as Ihe land from which shipments can be made with the least tax on the Bbips left available by subma. rine warfare. The time require ments for shipments from Austral­ ia and other remote countries are such as to be prohibitive. Amer­ ica is one place upon which the al­ lies may depend for the feeding of their armies and population. To enable America to do its share our home gardeners m u9t recognize that they are war gardeners and therefore vital to the,success of .the armies. They must produce food­ stuffs on a tremendous scale, with the central thought-that unending industry on the part of their gar­ dens is the price of world-wide freedom. As in 1917, the need is for food production f. o. b. the kitchen door. This means that it will be none too much if two or more gar­ dens are made to grow where one grew before, creating a vast aggre­ gate yield at the point-8 of consum­ ption. By the 6ame logic, there must be universal application of the simple.principals of home can. niog and drying of vegetables and fiuits. Lastyearthe households of America created a winter. sup­ ply of canned goods amounting to more than half a billion jars. This year they should make it more than a btllion. To food pro­ duction f. o. b. kitchen door they will add a food supply f' o. b. the pantry shelf. By making them­ selves both soldiers of the soil and cohorts of conservation they will form a vast army of agreBsion- - fearless, defiant and invincible. With forces thus organized to sup. port the military establishment America can conquer the alien foe and do her part to rescuo and re­ deem civilization. Without these forces she is helpless. Neutrality on the food question is as impos­ sible as neutrality in the war it. self. In the great conflict we shall win or lose according to our solu tion of the food problem. Let us plant gardens as never before, and grow munitions at home to help the war- -Greensboro News. “W .S .

The vacant . chairs are now- draped in black in these old homes of their childhood speak loud of- the story ot war. The maidens fair in sighs, sad’ and melancholy, who had pinned their future.to these gallant boys, so brave and true now know what: war is—they will never forget it. When gray-haired matrons in years far away they will remember the bouny lads who pledged them their love in the moroing of life when it was sweet and joyful- The 200 old fathers are bowed, down In sorrow now as they sit by the sileht !resides as the night grows on and they gaze upon the- scenes where, but yesterday they lived and loved their . sons—they won’t soon forget what war - is. Oh! countrymen, the pity and 'the pathos of it all! A odyetthe war has not Btarted—for us. Such dire news will come every day and every night for this is war and war is hell—and we are in it. Hundreds of miles perhaps' be­ neath the. trackless Bea the treas­ ures of earth are finding a resting place. The food, and guns, the ships, the veryjives of the world day by day go down—and down— and down. We have read Mil­ ton’s : Paradise Lost—we figd it here. We have read Dante’s In­ ferno—we find it here. We have dreamed ot hell beneath; th.^ worljd •—we fiod it here. The ocean is the graveyard of the nations today. The submarine is the world’s grave-digger. People starve as the woild’s food sinks below. The giant shipB of commerce one by one find a watery grave and jet they are the costliest thing and the most precious thing in all the world, except the dear, dead boys that go down with them. The genius that builds a hell of fire will some day change his symbol ism and build it out of water upon whose bosom rest the best of earth.- I.n days and years long.gone we have suDg of the idle themes and tbiogs to try to charm your ears and hearts but today we are too serious to do so and we must sing of death . WethoughC but little of the millions vho have died of alien birth in this unholy war but when our boys, our mother’s boys - O God we love them so—when they die like men without a fight­ ing chance for lite, it breaks our hearts. These blue-blooded lads were so gallant and so grand— the darlings of the Bepublic—and now they sleep in peace side by side in nameless graves beside the rolling sea. O, the memories that this story awakens in thousands of homes! In ages yet un orn the story will be told over and over again. Poets will chant the glory of their struggle with the angry wave9.

CAROL GOES TO THE ASSISTANCE OF LARK WHEN DEEP EMBARRASSMENT THREATENS AND A NEAR­ PAINFUL INCIDENT BECOMES A COMEDY Synopsis.—The story opens In the house of Rev. Mr. Starr, w here Prudence, his eldest daughter and fem inine head of the house, con­ sisting o t her father, herself, her sisters, Fairy, the tw ins—Carol and Lark—and Connie, the youngest, are aw aiting the arrival of their aunt Grace. L ivdiness of the sm aller mem bers of the fam ily results dis­ astrously for their appearance. Carol and L ark investigate Christian Science. Prudence postpones her wedding when Carol catches m easles.. Then Carol tries to convert the town roughnecks. CHAPTER V. Substitution. The tw ins cam e in a t dinner-tim e wrapped in unwonted silence. L ark’s face w as darkened by an anxious shadow, while Carol w ore an expres­ sion of heroic determ ination. “W hat’s up?’’ Connie asked, when the rest of the fam ily dism issed the m atter w ith am used glances. Lark sighed and looked a t Carol, seeming to seek courage from the Spar­ tan countenance. Carol squared her shoulders. “Well, go on,” Connie urged. “Don’t be silly. You know you’re crazy to tell ns about it, you only w ant to be coaxed.” Lark sighed again, and gazed appeal­ ingly at her stout-hearted tw in. Carol never could resist the appeal of those pleading eyes. “Larkie prom ised to speak a piece at the Sunday-school concert two weeks from tomorrow,” she vouch­ safed, as unconcernedly as possible. “M ercy!” ejaculated Connie, w ith an astonishment th at w as not altogether complimentary. “Careful, L arkie," cautioned Fairy. “You’ll disgrace the parsonage if you don’t watch out.” “Nonsense,” declared their father, “Lark can speak as well as anybody if she just keeps a good grip on herself and doesn’t get stage fright.” Aunt Grace smiled gently. Connie frowned. “It’s a risky busi­ ness,’’ she said. “L ark can’t speak any more than a rabbit, and—” “I know it,” w as th e hum ble adm is­ sion. “Don’t be a goose, Con," interrupted Carol, “Of course L ark can speak a piece. She m ust learn It, learn it, learn it, so she can rattle it off back­ wards, with her eyes shut. OBiaFs the whole se cre t Cf course she can speak.” “How did it happen?” inquired Fairy. “I don’t know,” L ark said sorrow­ fully. “Nothing w as ever farth er from my thoughts, I assure you. -The first thing I knew, Mrs. C urtiss w as thank­ ing me for my prom ise, and Carol w as marching me off like grim death.” Carol smiled, relieved, now th a t the family com mentary w as over. “It w as very natural. M rs. C urtiss begged her to do it, and L ark refused. T hat al­ ways happens, every tim e the Sunday school gives an entertainm ent B ut Mrs. Curtiss w ent on to say how bad'y the Sunday school needs the money, and how big a draw ing card it would be for both of us tw ins to be on the program, one right after the other, and bow well it would look for the p a r­ sonage, and it never occurred to m e to warn Lark, for I never dream ed of her doing i t ” “I thought it wouldn’t h u rt m e to try It once,” L ark volunteered in her own defense. Aunt Grace nodded, w ith a sm ile of Interested approval. 'T m proud of you, L ark, quite proud of you,” her father said warm ly. “IFs a big thing for you to' m ake such a plunge—ju st fine.” ‘T m proud of you now, too,” Connie said darkly. “T he question Is, will we be proud of you after the concert?” Lark sighqgl dolorously. “Oh, pooh!” encouraged Carol. “Any­ body can speak a silly little old piepe like that. A nd it will look so nice to have our nam es right together on the program. It’ll bring out all the high school folks, sure." "Yes, they'll come to hear Lark, all right,” F airy smiled. “B ut she’ll m ake It go, of course. And It will give Carol a chance to show her cleverness by telling her how to do it.” So as soon as supper w as over, Carol said decidedly, “Now, Connie, you'll have to help me w ith the dishes the next two weeks, for L ark’s got to prac­ tice on th a t piece. Lark, you m ust read it over, very thoughtfully first to get the meaning. Then ju st read it ind read it and read it, a dozen times, a hundred times, over and over and over. And pretty soon you’ll know it.” “I’ll bet I don't,” w as the discourag­ ing retort, as Lark, w ith pronounced distaste, took the slip of paper and sat flown In the corner to read the "bloom­ ing thing,” as she m uttered crossly .to herself. • Connie and Carol did up the dishes <n dreadful silence, and then Carol re­ turned to the charge. “How m any times did you read it?” “Fourteen and a half,” w as the pa­ tient answer. “It's a silly thing, Carol. There’s no sense to it. ‘The wind w ent dnfUng o’er the lea.'” • “Oh, th at’s not so bad,” Carol said helpfully. “Fve had pieces w ith worse lines than th at. ‘The im print of a dainty foot,’ for instance. W hen you say, T h e wind w ent drifting o’er the lea,’ you m ust kind of let your voice glide along, very rhythmically, very—" “W indily,” suggested Connie, who re­ mained to w itness the exhibition. “You keep still, Constance Starr, or you con get out of here! It’s no laugh­ ing m atter I can tell you, and you have to keep out or I won’t help and then—” “I’ll keep still. B ut it ought to be windily, you know, since it’s the wind. I m eant it for a joke,” she inform ed them. T he tw ins had a very disheart­ ening way of falling to recognize Con­ nie’s jokes—it took the life out of them. "Now read it aloud, L ark, so I can see if you get the proper expression,” Carol continued, when Connie w as ut­ terly subdued. L ark obediently but unhappily read the quaint poem aloud and Carol said it w as very good. “You m ust read it aloud often, very often. T hat’ll give you a better idea of the accent Now put it away, and don’t look a t it again tonight If you keep it up too long you’ll get so dead sick of i t you can’t speak it a t all.” By the evening of, the Sunday-school concert—they w ere concerting for the sake of a hundred-dollar subscription to church repairs—L ark had m astered her recitation so perfectly th a t the m inds of the parsonage w ere nearly a t peace. She still felt a deep resentm ent tow ard the situation, but this w as par­ tially counter-balanced by the satis­ faction of seeing her nam e In print, di­ rectly beneath Carol’s on the' program . Becltation ....................Mlsa Carol S tarr. Becitation ........................ Miss Lark Starr. I t looked very well indeed, and the whole fam ily took a proper interest in it. No one gave Carol’s recitation a second thought. She alw ays recited, and did it easily and well. I t w as quite a commonplace occurrence for her. On the night of the concert she su­ perintended L ark’s dressing w ith m a­ ternal care. “You look all right,” she said, “ju st fine. Now don’t get scared, L ark. IFs so silly. Remember that you know all those people by heart, you can talk a blue-streak to any of them. There’s no use—” “B ut I can’t talk a blue streak to the whole houseful a t once,” L ark pro­ tested. T t m akes m e have such a— hollow feeling—to see so many w hite faces gazing up, and IFs hot, and—” “Stop that,"" cam e the stern com­ m and. “You don’t w ant to get cold feet before you s ta rt If you do' acci­ dentally forget once or twice, don’t worry. I know the piece as well as you do, and I can prom pt you from be­ hind w ithout anyone noticing i t .B ut you won’t fo rg et” She kissed her. “You’ll do fine, Larkie, ju st as fine as you look, and It couldn’t be better than th a t” Ju st then Connie ran in. "Fairy W ants to know if yon are getting stage fright, L ark? My, you do look nice! Now, for goodness’ sake, Lark, remem­ ber the parsonage, and don’t m ake a fizzle of I t ” “W ho says fizzle?” dem anded their father from the doorway. “Never say die, m y girl. W hy, Lurk, I never saw you look so sw eet You have your hair fixed a new way, haven’t you?” “Carol did i t ” w as the shy rfeply. “It does. look, nice, doesn’t it? Tm not scared, father, not a bit—yet I B ut there’s a hollow feeling— H ave the boys come?" “No, but they’ll be here In a minute. Jim ’s late. I do get sore a t Jlm —I’d forty tim es rath er go w ith him than H artley—but he alw ays puts off ask­ ing us until the last m inute and then I have a date and you get him. I be­ lieve he does it on purpose. Come on down.” And G race looked a t the pale sweet face w ith gratified delight, and kissed her warm ly. H er father w alked around her, nodding approval.' “A unt Grace,” he said solemnly, “it’s !a w retched business, having a parson­ age full of daughters. Ju st as soon as they reach the age of beauty, grace and charm , they turn their backs on their fathers and smile on fairer lads.” •: “You’ve got me, father,” said Connie consolingly. “And me—when Babbie’s in Chicai go," added Fairy. “Yes, thaFs some help. Connie, be an old maid. D ol I im plore you.” “Oh, Connie’s got a beau already,” said Carol. "It’s the fat AUen boy. They don’t have dates yet, but they’ve got an awful case on; H e’s going to m ake their living by traveling w ith a show. You’ll have to put up w ith auntie —she’s beyond the beaulng stag e!” “Suits me,” he said contentedly, “I am getting more than my deserts. Come on, Grace, we’ll start.” “So will we, Connie,” said Fairy. B ut the boys came, both together, and the fam ily group set out together. Carol and H artley—one of her hlgh- school adm irers—led off by running a race down the parsonage walk. And Lark, old, w orn and grave, brought up the rear w ith Jim Forrest. Jim w as a favorite attendant of the twins. H e had been graduated from high school the year previous, and w as finishing off a t the agricultural college In Ames. B ut Ames w as not far from home, and he w as still frequently on hand to squire the tw ins when squires w ere In demand. For this broad-minded devotion the tw ins gave him a deep-seated gratitude and affection and he always stood high in their favor. “Are you scared, Lark?” he asked her as they w alked slowly down the street tow ard the church. “Fm not scared, Jim ,” she answered solemnly, “but Fm perfectly cavern­ ous, If you know w hat th at m eans.” “I sure do know,” he said fervently, “didn’t I have to do a speech a t the commencement exercises? T here never w as a com pleter cavern than I w as that night. B ut I can’t figure out why folks agree, to do such things when they don’t have to. I had to. I t w as compulsory.” L ark gazed a t him w ith limpid trou­ bled eyes. “I can’t figure out, either. I don’t know why I did. I t w as a mis­ take, some way.” A t the church, which w as gratifylng- Iy crowded w ith Sunday school enthu­ siasts, the tw ins forsook their friends and slipped along the side aisle to the "dressing room”—commonly utilized as the storeroom for worn-out song books, Bibles and lesson sheets. There they sat In throbbing, quivering silence w ith the rest of the “entertainers,” un­ til the first strains of the piano solo “A re You Seared, Lark?" broke forth, when they walked sedate­ ly out and took their seats along the side of the platform —an antediluvian custom w hich has long been discarded by everything but Sunday schools and graduating classes. The program w ent along smoothly, w ith no m ore stum bles than is custom­ ary a t such affairs, and nicely punctu­ ated w ith hand clappings. W hen the superintendent read, “Recitatloii—Mlss Carol Starr,” the applause w as enthu­ siastic, for Carol w as a prim e favorite In church and school and town. W ith sw eet and charm ing nonchalance she tripped to the front of the platform and gave a graceful inclination of her proud young head in response to the applause. Then her voice rang out, and the room w as hushed. Nobody, ever wotTied when Carol spoke a piece. Things alw ays w ent all rig h t And back to her place she walked, her face flushed, h er heart swelling high with the gratification of a good deed well done. "Carol,” L ark whispered. “I—Fm scared.” • Instantly the trium ph left Carol’s heart. “You’re not,” she whispered passionately, gripping her tw in’s hand closely, “you are not, you’re all right.” L ark trem bled' more violently. H er head swayed a little. B right flashes of light .were blinding her eyes, and her ears w ere ringing. ”1—can’t,!’ she mut­ tered thickly. “Fm sick.” Carol leaned close to her and began a violent train of conversation, for the purpose of distracting her attention. L ark grew more pale. “Recitation—Miss L ark Starr.” Again the applause rang out. L ark did not move. “I can’t,” she whispered again. 'T can’t.” “Lark, Lark;” begged Carol desper- ately .-“You m ust go, you m ust. T h e wind w ent .drifting o’er the lea,’—it’s easy enough. Go on, L ark, You m ust.” L ark shook her head. “Mmmmm," she murm ured indistinctly. “Remember the parsonage,” begged Carol. “Think of Prudence. Think of papa. Look, there he is, right down there. H e’s expecting you, Lark. You m u st!” L ark tried to rise. She could not. She could not see her father’s clear en­ couraging face for those q c ?er flashes of light. “You can,” w hispered Carol. “You can do anything, if you try. PruJonce says so.” People w ere craning their necks, And peering curiously up to the second row w here the tw ins sat side by side. The other perform ers nudged one another, smiling significantly. “I can’t,” L ark whispered, ‘T m sick.-” “Lark—L ark,” called the superin­ tendent. Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently It w as up to her. W ith a grim face. She rose from her chair and started out on the platform . The superintendent stared a t her, his lips parting. The people stared a t her too, and smiled, and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her eyes sought her father’s face. H e nod­ ded quickly, and his eyes approved. “Good I” H is lips form ed the word, and Carol did not falter again. The applause w as nearly drowned w ith laughter as Carol advanced for her second recitation. “The wind w ent drifting o’er the lea,” she began—her voice drifting properly on the words—and so on to the end of the piece. Most of the audience, knowing Lark’s tem peram ent, had concluded th at fear prevented her appearance; and understood th at Carol had come to her tw in’s rescue for the reputation of the parsonage. The applause w as deafening as she w ent back. It grew louder as .she sat down w ith a com­ forting little grin a t Lark. Then as the clapping continued, something of her natural impishness entered her heart. “Lark,” she whispered, “go out and make a bow.” . “M ercy!” gasped L ark. “I didn’t do anything.” “It w as supposed to be you—go on, L ark J H u rry ! You’ve got to I Think w hat a joke it will be.” L ark hesitated, but Carol’s domi­ nance w as compelling. “Do as I tell you,” cam e the per- oidgtory order, and L a rk a ro se . from her..chair, .stepped out before the as­ tonished audience and m ade a slow and graceful bow. T his tim e the applause ran riot, fot people of less experience than those of Mount M ark could tell th a t the twins were playing game. As it continued, Carol caught Larkin’s hand in hers, and together they stepped out once more, laughing and bowing right and left. • L ark w as the last one in th a t night, for she and JIm celebrated her defeat w ith two ice cream sodas apiece a t the corner drug store. . “I disgraced the parsonage,” she said meekly, as she stepped into the fam ily circle, w aiting to receive her. Tndeed you didn’t,” said Fairy. T t w as too bnd, but Carol passed it oil nicely, and then, turning it into a joke th at way took all the em barrassm ent out of i t It w as perfectly all right, and we weren’t a bit ashamed.” “And you did look awfully sweet when you m ade your bow,” Connie said warmly—for when a member of the fam ily w as down, no one ventured » laugh, laugh-loving though they were. Curious to say, the odd UtUe freak of substitution only endeared the twins to the people of M ount M ark the more “By ginger, you can’t beat them bloomin’ twins,” said H arvey Reel, chuckling admiringly. And no one di» agreed. Circumstances induce Fairy to reveal her life's romance. The tw ins for a short period enjoy them selves hugely. (TO B E C O N TIN U ED .) Puts It Up to the Judge. . One of the city judges, who w as up for re-election, made a speech In New York, and after he had touched on patriotism and Bie various question* of civic virtue and the keeping of a good m an on the bench, he said a t the close of Ids speech th at he w as ready to answ er any question propounded At this point one of the members of the club arose. “Judge,” began the questioner, “there’s one thing that has always bothered me, and I hope you can settle it for m e so th a t the other mem bers of this club will see th at I am right.. - T his is i t : Does or does not a straight flush beat four of a kind under any and all circum­ stances?” r British Columbia Shipbuilding.

SKft M iC i DIES PRISONER AFTER 64 YEARS Pawnee Woman W as Captures by the Cheyennes When but Two Years Old. STAYED WITH CAPTORS W hite Horse Became One of Most Be­ loved Members of Hler Adopted People — OutIFved Two Cheyenne Husbands. Clinton, Okla.—Captured by a hostile band of Cheyennes sixty-four years ago, W hite Horse, a Pawnee Indian woman, has just died here, still a pris­ oner, although recognized os a member of the Cheyenne tribe. No effort was ever made a t a form al exchange ol prisoners between the two trib e s.' She outlived two Cheyenne husbands. A t the tim e of the capture the Chey­ ennes were on the w arpath, roving the plains near Omaha, Neb. They m et a j band of Paw nees who w ere out on a I buffalo hunt and a battle followed. The ! Cheyennes w ere victorious. Among the dead the Cheyenne w ar­ riors found a little Pawnee girl. Two of the braves w ere about to kill her when Chief Henp-of-Birds intervened. “W ait, let me look a t her,” tribal tradi­ tion quotes him. The Indians laid down their tom ahawks and perm itted Head- of-Birds to exam ine the child. “Don’t kill her, she has teeth, she can eat,” the chief continued. “She is two years old.” So the Cheyenne chief adopted the child. Sang Song of Victory. W hen the Indians had gone a long distance from the battlefield Curly H air, a brother of Heap-of-Birds, sang the-song of victory w ith his mighty voice, and while he sang he m ade a necklace. “This necklace shall be for my little sister,” he sang. Curly H air's sw eetheart w as a Sioux woman. She a beautiful w hite horse. Curly H air said. “I will nam e my little sister after my sweet­ heart’s horse.” So the child w as called W hite Horse. .

She-Wolf died a little more than a year ago, so W hite H orse w as again ; left a widow. Although a mem ber of a tribe w ith whom the Cheyennes were I unfriendly for m any years, the adopted ’ woman became on© of the m ost beloved ' mem bers of her adopted people.

Russia has bowed 'to the Teutonic allies. The bolsheviki com m issioners sent to Brest-Litovsk have signed the treaty of peace presented by the Ger­ mans, according to an official state­ ment from Berlin, w hich says that military m ovem ents in G reat Russia have ceased. It was reported on February 23 by the bolsheviki com m issioners th at they w ere about to sign the treaty. This report was telegraphed to Lenine and Trtozky after the delegates sent to Brest-Litovslc had m et the . Ger­ man em issaries. T here is little in­ formation available as to the details of the m eeting betw een the peace del­ egations, but the bolsheviki say they realized th a t any further delay would mean m ore onerous conditions and they would sign the treaty w ithout further discussions. Russia lost by the delay th at en­ sued when Trotzky announced that the w ar so far as R ussia w as con­ cerned, had ended, but refused to sign the form al treaty. In the inter­ val between the. breaking up of the first Brest-Litovsk m eeting and the one held lately, the central powers dried m aterially to the dem ands which w ere outlined when the now famous “Hoffman line” w as drawn by the com m ander of the Germ an ’orces on the eastern front.

T hese regions are in T rans­ caucasia and m ark a considerable ad­ dition to the sultan’s dominions in that section of the world The doc­ trine of the right of peoples to self- determ ination was the pretext - upon which the new term s w ere added to the treaty. It is probable th at the bolsheviki delegation acceded to the new dem ands. . SECURE GERMAN PLAN OF ATTACK—OTHER INFORMATION. Each Machine Placem ent and Dugout Indicated on Map. W ith A m erican Arm y in France.— A plan of attack, including a m ap of the Am erican positions, indicating every dugout, which w as rem oved from the body of a P russian captain which led to the recent assault upon the sec­ tor northw est of Toul, show s how com­ pletely the Germ ans prepare their raids—if, in fact, this was but a sim ­ ple raid not having as its {ultimate ob- •ect the retention of a portion of the salient. The map goes into such detail as to show every m achine placem ent, every trench and every depression in the ground within the A m erican lines. At die bottom there is sim ply a line drawn, labelled “our front line.” Along this line are five shaded portions, each marked “nest.” Four rehearsals w ere held for the attack and the troops who m ade it were specially picked from new ar­ rivals of fresh troops in the sector. They w ere told th at the Am ericans were in front of them . Out From T heir Nests. After the artillery had nearly level­ ed the Am erican position, the’ Ger­ mans started out from their nests, each of which contained 40 infantry­ men, one lieutenant and three pio­ neers to precede the infantry and five to follow it. The two groups upon the Am erican extrem e right w ent around this flank and the group upon the extrem e left carried out a sim ilar movement there. How Large The Loan W ill Be Depends ‘Upon Fate of W ar Finance Bill i in Congress. I W ashingotn.—On AprU 6, the first anniversary of the U nited States’ en­ try into the war, the third liberty loan will open.. T here will be a cam­ paign of three or four weeks. In announcing the date, Secretary McAdoo said the am ount of the loan , the interest rate and other features I such as convertability of bonds of pre- . vious issues, m aturity and term s . of paym ent, are yet to be determ ined, and that; new legislation will be nec­ essary before plans can be completed. The fact th at the am ount of the loan is dependent on further legisla­ tion indicates that it will be far, m ore than $3,600,00Q,000, the rem ainder of authorized but unissued bonds, and the fact th at certificates of indebted­ ness now being sold in anticipation of loan bear 4 1-2 per cent interest, af­ fords some indication of the interest rate. How large the loan shall be depends largely, however, on the fate of the pending w ar finance bill carrying an appropriation of a half-billion dollars and action on the railroad bill, w ith its appropriation of a sim ilar am ount. Although Mr. McAdoo made no spe­ cific announcem ent, it is now taken for granted In official circles th at there will be but one m ore loan be­ fore June 30, the end of the fiscal year. The statem ent concerning .the date of the cam paign w as m ade a t this time. Secretary McAdoo explained to give every com m unity tim e to prepare for the big bond sale, and he strongly advocated popular dem onstrations of patriotism on the day of the opening of the loan and second year of war. A fter starting the date of the cam­ paign opening, the secretary con­ tinued: “April 6 will forever 'be a consecra­ ted day in Am erican history, and it seem s peculiarly appropriate th at the opening of the second year-of our par­ ticipation in this w ar for the honor and rights of Am erica and the free­ dom of the world-should be celebrated w ith a nation-wide drive for another liberty loan. “T he cam aign should begin w ith great dem onstrations of patriotism in every city, town and ham let in the country th at will truly express the spirit of aroused Am erica.” THE MEATLESS MEAL IS NOW SU8PENDED W asington.—Tem porary suspension of the m eatless m eal and of the spe­ cial restrictions against the use of pork on Saturday was announced by the food adm inistration as a readjust­ m ent of its food conservation pro­ gram. Increased m eat production and the necessity for still greater saving in w heat, it w as declared, m ake the change advisable. The suspension is Cor an indefinite period, and probably will last three m onths or longer. f r e s h MASSARES ARCE REPORTED IN ARMENIA London. — T he Copenhagen corre­ spondent of the Exchange Telegraph company- says inform ation has been received th at T urkish soldiers have committed- new m assacres in th e dis­ trict of A rm enia w hich has been de­ serted by ithe Russians.

I I M H S BUT ARE REPULSED W ITH SOME ‘ LOSSES TO TH E AT­ TACKERS.

The well placed Am erican m achine guns sent stream s of bullets, into the advancing enemy and as the Germ an barrage fire lifted the Am erican artillery quickly laid down a curtain of fire, the Germ ans retiring w ithout a single prisoner. There w ere no Am erican casualties. Five French soldiers w ere wounded during the fighting. The Am ericans stayed in their dug- outs until the proper tim e, when they jum ped to the guns and fought like veterans. One officer and one m an were killed and two w ere wounded by enem y shell fire. One Am erican soldier was “gassed.” The Germ ans made a gas attack also in this sector, firing 50 projectiles of high per cent gas and 20 high explosive shells. One Am erican soldier is dead and eight are suffering from the effects of poisonous gas, so far as reported, but it is probable that m ore casualties will develop, as in the Toul sectpr. There was another attack, but the num ber of casualties to the American troops in this sector since they be­ cam e engaged cannot be determ ined All the killed and wounded in -these ODerations are from the.

R eturned soldiers caused the dis­ turbance by shouting various epithet^. “W hat about the Lusitania?” they also demanded in chorus. The first disturbance cam e before Mr. Bryan’s entry, when the chairm an told the audience they w ere to be honored by listening to the fraternal delegate of the Anti-Saloon league of America, “one of the forem ost citizens of our ally.” W hen Mr. Bryan cam e in, pandemonium broke loose. Most of the audience stood, waved hand­ kerchiefs and cheered him, but the answ ering hoots from the gallery out­ lasted the cheers. . For five m inutes Mr. Bryan tried vainly to m ake him self heard. The interruption kept right on and die in­ terrupters sang "Rule B ritannia" and “God Save the King.” E nthusiastic prohibitionists who wished to ’ hear Mr. Bryan, hurled across the hall counter-calls of “put them out,” and “W here’s your fair play?” The chairm an w as heard to say som ething about ejecting the In­ terrupters. H e w as greeted w ith cries of "W ho’s going to do it?” v M i. Bryan took his seat. John H. Roberts, of M ontreal, made an attem pt to speak, but w as told to “get the khaki on.” Then a m an of the arm y medical corps dressed in uniform w as hoisted on the platform . "Boys, they are fighting for free­ dom a t the front; they are also fight­ ing for freedom of thought. W hy should we interrupt the m eeting?” he appealed to the gallery. The appeal' was in vain. “God Save the King” w as sung again and the soldiers in the gallery shouted “Take Bryan out, and we’ll w alk out. W e'll let any man speak, but not a pro- German.” ■ FOSTERS IDEA THAT AMERI- ICA IS NOT IN EARNEST New York.—"The Germ an press is carefully and adroitly continuing to foster the 'idea am ong the German people that Am erica is not really in earnest about the w ar,” declared Dr. A.

' (P repared b y th e U nited S tates D ep art­ m ent of A griculture.) I A 'good crop of corn cannot be grown w ithout good seed, yet in many of the principal corn-producing states there is a scarcity of suitable seed for planting the 1918 crop. Unless every com grower saves, and saves carefully, a good supply from which to select the best ears for planting, this scarcity will not be averted. T he seed-corn scarcity will not take care of itself; the only choice is between m aking sure now or cansing a scarcity in the planting sea­ son. A w arning Js being sent out by the United States departm ent of agricul­ ture to the farm ers of ’a num ber of states for which a serious scarcity of .seed corn for spring planting in 1918 has been noted. These states include, in whole or part, New York, Pennsyl­ vania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illi­ nois, W isconsin, M innesota, Iowa, Ne­ braska, N orth D akota and South D a­ kota. Not Too L ate to Select Seed Ears. L ittle com of the 1916 crop is avail­ able and adapted seed cannot be had from other sections. In this emergency the seed stocks comm ittee of the Unit­ ed States departm ent of agriculture urges farm ers not to overlook any pos­ sible source of supply. It points out th at on m any farm s in the states w here seed com is scarce, it is still, possible to find some, sound ears which should be saved for seed. In some cases, however, this sotfud corn is being fed because the owners do not realize its value nor the need for it. They have been accustom ed to planting much bet- ; te r corn and have not stopped to con- ‘ eider th at every bushel of seed corn W o r m P o w d e r Hops will fatten Quick er, horses will loobsleeker.pOBltrj-will be healthier.

A BAD COUtiiH Is risky to neglect, Tbke It In hand, and safegnatd your health by promptly taking PRACTICAL HEN HINTS {Prepared by the TTnited States De­partm ent of A griculture.) Keep the hens confined to your own land. Don’t keep a m ale bird. H ens lay just as well w ithout a male. Don’t overstock your land. Purchase well-m atured pullets rather than hens. Don’t expect success in hatch­ ing and raising chicks unless you have had some experience and have a grass plot separate from the yard for the hens. Build a cheap house or shelter. M ake the house dry and free from draft, but allow for ven­ tilation. Fowls stand cold better than dampness. Keep the house and yard clean. Provide roosts and dropping ,boards. Provide a nest for each four or five hens. Grow some green crop In the yard. Spade up the yard frequently. Feed table scraps and kitchen waste. Also feed grain once a day. Feed a dry mash. Keep hens free from Uce and the house free from mites. Kill and eat the hens in the fall as they begin to m olt and cease to lay. Preserve the surplus eggs pro­ duced during the spring and sum mer for use during the fall and w inter when eggs' are scarce and high in price. INCREASE NUMBER OF FOWLS E ndeavorto Insure More Chickens and Eggs Is Contained in the Maxim — Hatch Early. ' (F rom th e U nited S tates D epartm ent of A griculture.) An essential p art of the endeavor to insure m ore chickens and eggs is con­ tained in the maxim—hatch early. The farm er who hatches early in the spring, either by incubation or natural methods, seems to have all the best of the argum ent. W hen chickens are hatched early in the spring they ma­ ture in the. fall and lay eggs in the winter. Then, in the spring they are ready to hatch early. L ate Batched fowls are late in m aturing, do not lay in the winter, and do not sit until late In the following spring. MAINTAIN POULTRY ON FARM Fowls W ill Pick Up Ninety Per Cent of Living From Scattered and W asted Grain. The larger the farm , the larger the flock, and such a flock should be main­ tained largely from economical rea­ son^. Poultry will pick up 90 per cent of its living from scattered and wasted- grain.

Seed Corn Tied High and Dry Out of Reach of Rats and Mice. they feed now would, if planted, pro­ duce a hundred or even two hundred bushels next year. • Save Sound E ars for Seed. U nder ordinary conditions, it pays to select seed com in the field and to cure it carefully, but seed so selected and cured is not available for much of the corn acreage to be planted next spring. It will be necessary, therefore, the specialists emphasize, to use th t very best seed th at is available. P ast experience shows th at it is better to plant seed of an adapted variety, even though it is poor in germ ination, than to plant much better seed of an un­ adapted variety. F or this reason, the seed stocks com mittee urges farm ers to pick over their com and select the sound ears for possible use as seed. If more is saved than is needed, there will be a ready m arket for it next Bpring. ’ Guard Seed Corn Prom Damage. T his emergency seed should be sepa­ rated from the im m ature or moldy corn immediately, ic prevent further dam­ age to its vitality. If it is not already dry. it should be dried a t once and kept a t as. uniform a tem perature as pos­ sible. From six to ten kernels from different parts of each ear should be taken and tested for germ ination. The ears which, show all or nearly all dead kernels should be discarded. The re­ m aining ears should then be shelled by hand and the grain from each ear carefully examined, discarding all kernels in which the germs appear to be dead. In this way, it should be pos­ sible for m any farm ers to get seed corn which wilt germ inate from 50 to 60 per cent. Thia teed can then be plant­ ed thickly enough next spring to pro­ duce a stand. - . Those who are not fam iliar with making single-ear germ ination tests of com can get inform ation on how to make the test from their county agent, from -the state experim ent station, or iiy sending to the United States depart­ ment of agriculture, W ashington, D.

(P rep ared b y th e U nited S tates D ep art- m en t of A griculture.) One of the best ways to utilize spare tim e In w inter before the spring rush of farm work begins Is to clean and grade the sm all grains Uiat are to be •used for seed. W heat, oats, barley and flax for seeding can all be Improved by run­ ning the seed through the fanning mill a t least once to remove the weed seeds, chaff, broken straw s and light, shrunken kernels. The cleaned grain will run through the drill or other seeding m achinery more evenly and thus insure a m ore uniform stand than can be obtained from uncleaned grain. Cleaning grain also elim inates m ost of the weak and diseased kernels, m any of which m ay not grow a t all, or if they do grow are likely to produce Cmniij weak plants. Uniformly large, plump kernels germ inate m ore evenly, produce stronger plants and yield more than ungraded grain containing small, •weak kernels. Cleaning the grain also rem oves a large p art of the weed seeds it con­ tains. The preparation of the land for seeding destroys m any seeds th at are in the soil and thus helps to keep weeds in check, but the value of this work is largely lost if foul seed is sown.- W eed seeds sown w ith the grain have the best of conditions for germi­ nation and growth, and the plants pro-' duced from them com pete strongly w ith the grain plants throughout the season. Although the seed m ay seem to be of excellent quality it is well w orth while to run the grain through the fanning mill a t least once. T his is no tim e to take any chances. T he dem and for increased crop production necessi­ tates, am ong other things, th a t the very best seed available be used in sowing the 1918 crop. Increases in yield of from tw o to five bushels or m ore to the acre are often obtained from sowing clean, large seed, but a gain of even a bushel to the acre will m ean big wages for the w inter days spent in getting seed ready for sowing. SALT PRESERVES SOFT CORN Successful T reatm ent Reported From Prophetstown, III.—Good Venti­ lation Needed. (P repared by th e U nited S tates D ep art­m ent of A griculture.) Some farm ers in the corn belt are haying success in preventing soft or in­ sufficiently cured corn from spoiling by applying eight to ten quarts of salt to each wagonload as it is being cribbed. Farm ers about Prophetstown, 111., w here this plan w as practiced rather generally in 1915 and during last fall and the present winter, report th a t the salted corn keeps well, w hile sim ilar com w ithout salt spoils. They report th at the salt draw s w ater from the ears and prevents heating, souring or rotting where there is sufficient venti­ lation to carry aw ay the m oisture. Although observations and investiga­ tion along this Tine by the office of com investigations, U nited States de­ partm ent of agriculture, have not progressed fa r enough to give definite results, m eans of saving m ature-com of unusually high m oisture content are so urgent and tests of the preserving power of salt are so prom ising of economic results a3 to w arrant a trial by farm ers who find It advisable or necessary to crib corn containing 25 per cent or. m ore of m oisture. The cost of the salt will be less than one cent per bushel of corn. Eiven w ith the aid of salt, good ventilation is nec­ essary. SPREAD MANURE ON FIELDS Im portant to Have W ork Done Soon as Possible A fter Made—Food If Badly Needed. Too m uch cannot well be said about the im portance of, having m anure thin­ ly and evenly spread on the fields at the earliest possible date after being made. It is ju st as im portant to con­ serve the things food is m ade of as the food itself for next year and for un­ told num bers of years w e will need food as badly as now, and perhaps myre so. £ U- * +■Mr * USES OF BUCKWHEATI —- (P repared by the U nited S tates' D e- -partm ent o£ A griculture.) Buckwheat is valuable as a hum an food. It is also an ex­ cellent feed for poultry. The middlings rem aining as a by-pro- duct after m illing are, on ac­ count of their high protein con­ te n t a valuable feed for dairy cows. T he production of buck­ w heat will help to provide food in many d is tric ts this year for local consumption and thus help to avoid the danger of shortage due to possible lack of adequate transportation facilities.

Ihavejustreturned from the big shoe market at St. Louis, *'The Biggest in the World.” ‘I visited several large factories while there, inspected thousands of shoes and large quantities of all kinds of leather. I spent some time in one of the largest tanneries in America, inspected the entire plant and was instructed about the j merits of each kind of leather, each machine and its operation. I j talked with several of the brainiest shoe men in the world, gather- j Led all the knowledge about shoes that was possible. I contracted for large quantities of all “Solid Leather” Shoes to be.made for Jones & Gentry Co., and we will be able to keep the j price of staples and heavy shoes down to the same price ' they are j now at for next fall. Our watching and keeping a close check on the market and hav­ ing our shoes made of “Solid Leather” hah saved our customers j lots of money on their shoes for next fall. The leather market is very reasonable, nothing exacting about the leather market and the people who talk high prices on shoes are the ones that want high prices for their goods. There is lots of speculation going, on row in the shoe world and there i3 lots of imitation leather made ] into shoes, they look good, but will not wear. The “Star Brand” shoe people are the biggestin the “Solid Leath- j er” shoe makers in the world, their records prove it. They don’t J allow any shoe made in their 28 Factories but those made of solid leather—no imitation goes in that organization and they have con­ tracted to make thousands of pairs for us. So, if you want good shoes at reasonable prices come to JONES & GENTRY Winston-Salem's “Foot Comfort” Shoe Store 447 TRADE STREET TI THERE IS NO BETTER FLOUR THAN % ♦ 't♦> _ ^ Vt • TfA fTTf Stars and Stripes.

Red Cross To Enter New Field Of Service In Army CampsOf America At the suggestion, of Secretary of War Baker, the American Red Cross is about to enter a new field of service in the army camps of the United States, a field in which they are: already working in France, the Bureau of Communication between the men in the hospital and their families at home.' This will ne­ cessitate building a Red Cross house in every army camp in . the country and securing for each house a man who will keep in personal touch with every man who is admitted to the camp hospital, as well as a- sufficient steno­ graphic force to handle the letters dic­ tated by these men and to keep their families constantly ' informed as to their condition and progress. Col. William Iawson Peel, General manager of the Southern division, has just received letters from W. R. Cas­ tle, Jr., director of the Bureau of Com­ munications,-and. from Harry B. W al­ lace, assistant director-general of mili­ tary relief, explaining' Secretary Ba­ ker’s plan and asking for suggestions as to men in this division who are qualified for the positions of respon­ sibility- at the camps. Colonel Peel announced Thursday at a meeting of his bureau directors that the Southern division would co-operate In every way with the national organization and that work would be begun at once to assist in carrying out Secretary Bak­ er's plans. The directors of the work in the Red Cross houses will be under the au­ thority of the Red Cross Field Direc­ tors in the various camps, who In turn are under the supervision of Z. Bennett Phelps, director of military -Mtpf for the Southern division. -mtary Baker says in his letter: Since the American Red Cross as already established in France, in accordance with an army order, a ser­ ies to keep families in America in personal touch with their boys, ill or wounded in the field, it is suggest­ ed that this service be extended to 'he camps in the United States. Ameri- -n Red Cross representatives at the amps, here, as in France, would have •cess to daily lists of admissions and -cuations from the hospitals, and, ' far as it is in accord with neces- iry medical; rules, would be allowed talk with sick men. They would expected to keep families constant- 'y informed as to the condition and “ogress of the men in the hospitals, to write letters for men unable to write themselves, and in general to 'ulflll that clause of the Red Cross charter which designated the society, 's “a medium of communication, be- ^een troops In the field and their -lilies at home,” Rod Cross Worker Honored By Norses Association Miss Jane Van De .Vrede Nominated Director For 1919-1920. Miss Jiine Van De Vrede, of Savan­ nah, director of the Bureau of Nurs­ ing, Southern Division, American Red Cross, has recently received word from Mrs. Charles DvLockwood, chair­ man of the nominating committee of •^e American Nurses Association, of er nomination as director of the as­ sociation for the term of 1919-1920. This is one of the highest honors 'hat can he given1 a member of the nursing profession and comes as a -ecognition of Miss Van De Vrede’s snlendid service. The nomination will be confirmed at the . association convention the-first week in May.

The Food Administration, of course, is going to see that all of the people at home are supplied with food products: before any is exported ,and this means that so^d cars of meat which might be saving innocent people in Burope from actual starvation are being brought into North Carolina and other-Southern States to supply the markets which should be supplied by our own farmers. “Not one per cent of the people of America have any conception of the horror of the situation that .confronts the civilian population of England, France and Italy, and the still more pitiful plight of the people of Finland, Switzerland and other neutral coun­ tries of Europe.

What the people of Europe get from now on can come only from what we save out of our normal consumptin of food products. Even at the best, tens of thousands of men, women and chil­ dren will starve during the next four months; but every particle of food that is saved or marketed by any American will find its way over ac­ tually or by proxy to feed some sol­ dier or to help save the life of some child, some woman, or some man in Europe. “Facing these facts, can any normal human being, blessed as. we in Amer­ ica are blessed, refuse to economize in the use of all foodstuffs and to sub­ stitute for wheat, beef and pork prod­ ucts other things that: we have in abundance?

It has absolutely controlled the situation witti regard to sugar and flour price and there is no reason to believe that it will not control this situation effect­ ively. The Food Administration has already Indicated by actions as well as by words that any merchant who dis­ regards the new order or who does not act In good faith will be promptly dealth with. Must Be Good Faith. Com meal and edible Wheat shorts and middlings are included in the list of cereal substitutes that may be sold in combination with flour only when they are of edible quality and are go­ ing to be used for human consumption and not for livestock feed. Ordinary shipped stuff and similar products may not be regarded as a cereal sub­ stitute. It has been suggested that retail merchants confine their sales of flour along with cereal substitutes to very stpall amounts until they are able to replenish their stocks of cereal sub­ stitutes. This course is being general­ ly followed by retailers who desire to protect all of their customers. List of Substitutes, Cereal substitutions that may be sold in combination with flour are corn meal, corn flour, edible wheat shorts and middlings, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, buck­ wheat flour, cottonseed flour, milo, kaffir and feterita flours and meals, soya beans flour, peanut flour, casava flour, taro flour, banana flour. No other product other than those named may be substituted. INCONVENIENCE TO FARMER 18 SLIGHT. Raleigh.—Complaint has been made that the new order of the Food Admin­ istration forbidding the sale of flour except in combination with cereal sub­ stitutes imposes some inconvenience and in some instances even some little hardship upon farmers who have their own com ground into meal. Even these farmers must purchase an equal amount of com meal or some other cereal substitute along with his flour. There is no restriction, however, which will prevent this farmer from selling his com meal to the retailer even though he buys back a part or all of this meal. It is evident that no exception con be made for the benefit even of this class because a retailer must pur­ chase from one source or another a pound of cereal substitutes for every pound of flour he purchases and any exception that altered this requirement would lead to endless confusion and would very largely nullify the entire effects of the Food Administration’! order. WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO EAT LESS WHEAT BREAD. France, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium must now import 60 per cent of their breadstuffs, instead of the 40 per cent which they import­ ed before the war. America must supply the greater part of this need. To send them the least that they can live on, we must increase or export of wheat from 88,000,000 bushels to 220,000,- 000 bushels. We have already • exported the whole of the surplus of the 1917 harvest, over and above the normal demands of our own population. Therefore, all exports of wheat from now forward are limited en­ tirely to the saving made by the American people in their consump­ tion of wheat and wheat products. HOW YOU CAN HELP. Have at' -least one meal a day without wheat bTead- Use instead corn, oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal breads. Eat less cake and pastry. Order wheat bread from your baker at least 24 hours In advance, so that he will not bake too much. Gut the-loaf of wheat bread on the table. Use all stale bread for tomtit or cooking. , AU the blood, all the heroism, all the munitions and all the money in the world will not win this war un­ less our Soldiers, our Sailors and our fighting Associates are fed. They wfll not be fed, this terrible sacrifice of blood and money will be in vain, and the cause of Democ­ racy wiU be defeated, unless every person, In every hoime, every day, guards the Nation’s supply of WHEAT, BEEF, PORK, FATS and SUGAR. ARE YOU DOING YOUR SHARE? WHY NOT SEND CORN TO EUROPE? We cannot send them com be­ cause they, have not enough mills t o . grind it and are not -familiar with its use as food- iEven if they knew how to use com meal, it is not suitable for shipment because it is so Uable to spoiling;. The oats, rye, barley, etc., that w o send them will not support them ujaless mixed with wheat. ■ . WE MUST SEND THlllM MORE •WHEAT, and to do this) WE MUST EAT.

"HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRiBED BY GA1N> MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA%;'WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13. 1918. HARK TO THE CALL. It Comes From the Mother of Presidents And the Birth StateofOurChief Executive Woodrow Wilson Fiom the Newport News (Va) Times Herald, democratic. VVe do not always concur in the views of Colonel Roosevelt, but when it comes to fighting matters the Crlonel shoots with aim, di­ rectness and.execution which com­ mand our admiration. “ To accept an inconclusive peace,’’said he in a recent address, “ would mean lbat the whole war would have to be iought over again by ourselves and our children. Those who now demand such a peace are not only enemies of America but of democ­ racy throughout the world, and stand on a level with the Bolsbevi- ki, who have betrayed both Bussia and her allies to the militaristic, and capitalistic autocracy of the HokeDzollerns.” That is grand talk. Colonel Boosevelt makes a double shot at the pacifists in America and the pacifists in Bussia, putting them I oth in the same class. Thpy are all quitters, no matter where they may be chanced to be located; they are birds of a' feather and it is tbeir white feather that is most prominent. President Wilson has denounced the pacifists at home, but he seems to have tender consideration for' Bolsheviki of Bussia. He makes excuses for them and It is inti­ mated that their government, will be recognized by the United States. The Piesident donbtlees has reas­ ons of his own for thus tempor­ izing with the Bolsheviki, and ii may be good, policy for him toeod- die them. B at for our part -we have notbihg but contempt for th. whole bunch, and their inBplence in treating with Germany for the peace of the nations they: have bo disgracefully deserted is only ex­ celled by their unfaithful]ness.. Col; Roosevelt well says that Jthej betrayed both Bussia and Bussia,’s allies. W e are glad the Colonel has not spoken. There is tht Colonel has so spoken. There is no palliation of their offence Colonel Roosevelt is a soldier a« well as a statesman and he hates desertion with a statesman’s coa. It was and is a great disappoint meat to us that he, Colonel Boose velt, has not been.given prominent position in the war activities of the Uuited Staces. W e believe a great hiuDder when he was denied the privilege which he asked of lead­ ing a command of intrepid men into France. We believe his Kough Eiders would have enthused the people at home as well as the soldiers abroad «and-' that thev would have set an example that would have caused thousands to enlist with chivalrous emotion. The President took another view. Be did not care for Colonel Boose velt’s services on the field, but th»re is no reason that we .can think of why Coionel; Roosevelt’s talents should not be utilized in war preparations., He is one oi the best informed men in the Uni­ ted States, he is honest and fear- aDd he is an ideal American NUMBER 33 ItS i It is a wonder to .' us that the People at large do not uprise and dcaaud that Colonel Bowevelt be failed iuto service, The country needs him, and il he were a dem.o- (.rat there is no boubt that the !‘resident would .have utilized .him. This is no time, however, for par­ tisan spirit. Colonei Roosevelt’s politics has nothing to., do with the; °wtt^. H e is a trui| andU, Iojfffb American, and that is‘ enough to qualify him for the piu.biic sejryicq; H d is heeded; he is competent; he H willing; and he should be bailed. «W.

Robert Ingersoll wrote a book upon the “ Mistakes of Moses,” Stone made a speech upon the mis- takes of Teddy. Chamberlain made a speech upon the mistakes of the administration.- Adam made a speech upon the mistakes of Eve. Teddy made a thousand speeches upon the mistakes of Taft —he will now make one upon the mistakes of Stone—and end the campaign. The press writes vol. umhs upon the mistakes of Burle son, of Baker; o f. Daniels,* of Hoover, of Garfield. Mistakes! Ah, to err is human. History is but the narrative of mis­ takes. Somebody blundered—and the battle was lost. The doctor blundered—and his patient died. Somebody blundered and the ship was.lost. If we only knew yester day what we know today we could be rich and great. If we knew to day what happens tomorrow we would be Divine. If we were di­ vine we would not be man—so runs the world along. If Germany knew three years ago what she knows now would there be this world madness! Napolean saw his mis­ take in Bilence upon the bleak island of St. Helena—but it was too late. Those brave southerners, as they fired upon Stonewall Jack­ son made an awful mistake—but too late to mend. When France drove Valtaire from her borders she made the world an infidel. England never new Shakespeare until 300 years after he was buried — her honors came too late.' When Bismarck made every man and child in Germany a soldier by in ­ heritance he planted the seeds-*-' thb -* world-.-is'-now-reaping ;:4-he‘ harvest today. When pilate al­ lowed the men to nail an innocent than to the cross he made a stupen­ dous mistake. When the assasin killed the lively and lowly Lincoln he made a mistake—for the south and the world. When Bryan left the cabinet on the first news of trouble he made his great mistake —when a great man was needed in Washington and iu the world. From every chime there comes today a cry for one great man, who can master the passions and mis takes ot billions of email men. God give us men—the cry of ages —the times demand them today. Men with visions, men who make few mistakes, men who know what Is just and right and who dare to it—today—amid this world blind­ ness and madness.tWe small men do not know what is best now from humanity’s stand­ point—we all look at things from national and personal standpoints —but what about, things iu the long run? If war is ' hell—and it is—did we * make a mistake in going to war! Wa • don’t know— nistory. must, tell—when it’s too late to mend things. But there can be no mistake in every man standing by his own country at all costs and at all times. No man blames the Germans for fighting for their Fatherland—they would be traitors to do otherwise. No man blames the Ausfrians for dy­ ing for Austria—that’s their duty, and every German and Austrian expects every American to fight for America. This is human na­ ture, this is patriotism, this is self interest. If our allies are defeat­ ed in this war it matters not to us whether we did right or wrong in entering the war when as we did but it means that we— you, I and. all of us—will have to pay penalty of war which is worse than hell. This war is costing us gigantic, sums but if we are 'defeated the in­ demnity that will be exacted of us. 'will beggar our heirs for centuries', it will take the last dollar from alj of us, it will make Blaves of free born Americans. And it wijl have to be paid in. gold—not in promises. Germany started 'this war upon the. gold exacted from Frvince by indemnity in theiwar of 1870. It she wins this war she will demand the value of the world — and now collect it—and our own beloved America will have to paj it—in gold. While we fight foi what our government says is right, from now oc we Ggbt, too. to save our nation from bankruptcy Then there can be no mistake in doing our best to avert this calam­ ity. . It is hard—it is hell—to send our boys to Europe to die on alien •oil, and many of us hoped our' country would be kept out of Sbe war but it was not. W hat might have been—is over. W hat is— that is. what we must face today like men. Old Glory is in peril.' The Stars and Stripes are in the balances. The next wire that comes from across the ocean may tell of victory for our enemies. AU wars are uncertain. The strongest do not always win in war, A rain gave Wellington the vie-, tory at Waterloo. Joan of lArc saved her nation when all was lost. Shall we be too late to change the tide of the battle! Must we pay the penalty of war without receiv­ ing auy of its glories because we were too late. ‘ Procrastination is the thief of time.” Has this thief robbed us of our patrimonii! It is never too late to make mistakes— if we can. The question is, fellow- citizeng, can we whip the enemy! France and England and France and Italy have failed. No ques­ tion about this.' It is no.w up to. America to put up or shut up.” We must do it or it won’t be done, and if it,is not done, we have got: to pay for it in whatever coin the enemy demands. Was the nation qf-Washington, and., .Jeffersoife LihcdliGand Lee raised u p 'from all the nations of -th e earth for such a heritage of defeat a3 may come to unless we defeat the mas­ ter of Europe today! We cannot nndo what has been done --it is now victory or defeat for us. The question of peace or war has long been settled—peace too wings when congress declared war- and now we must stand by our country or somebody else’s country, we must sacrfice for our country now or submit to greater - sacrifice later.

REQUESTED BY6EH.PERSHING Enemy Able Through This Source to Gain Valuable Inormation as to Units In France. Washington.—Issuance of daily lists, of casualties among the American ex-' peditionary forces was discontinued by; the public information committee’as j the result of an order of the war de-; partment under which the names of, next of kin and the emergency ad-' dresses ol soldiers whose names ap­ pear on the lists hereafter will be withheld. The official explanation is that the purpose of the order is, to keep information of value from the enemy. On being informed of the order the committee took the poBltion.that long lists of men killed or wounded would be worthless to the newspaper corre­ spondents without the addressses and a notice was issued advising the press that in future all information regard­ ing casualties must he obtained from the war'department. At the adjutant generals’ office ^lt was stated that the lists would continue to be sent to the committee and would be available there.

Say* We Will Soon Come to Bread Cards if1 We Leave it to Hoover. Washington.—Strictures on govern­ ment price-fixing and the activities of the fooa administration monopolized one day’s session of the senate. Led by Senator Qeed1 of Missouri, Democrat, a group of senators of both parties made the attack. Charges that a general policy of fixing prices for farm products, not authorized by the food control law, is being Instituted, •were made by Senators Reed and Bo­ rah, who said the licensing power of the tew was being so used that its actual result is an unauthorized price- fixing program. In a four-hour speech teeming with bitter'criticism. Senator Reed also de­ nounced the fuel administration, as­ serting that Administrator Garfield had not told the truth regarding re­ sults of the coalless days’ order, which- he described as a “lockout” of certain eastern industries. Senator Wolcott, Democrat, of Dela­ ware, said Mr. Hoover had denied adoption of a farm produce price- fixing plan, disclaiming authority, but he and other senators insisted that acts of the food administratino, par­ ticularly under its wholesale and re­ tail dealers’ licensing power, was hay­ ing that effect In actual practice.

White house officials were disturb­ ed over a published report that the statement had. been authorized that the United States was not in accord with the attitude of the allies toward the Japanese plans. It was. explained that no statement had been authorized except that the United States had not given its assent to the action un­ der consideration. The principle upon which all parties to the exchanges are said to be agreed is that if German influence is working harmfully in Siberia and if there is imminent risk of the loss of the mili­ tary stores at Vladivostok, Japan will- be justified In using whatever measure of force that may be necessary to car­ ry out her obligation to maintain the peace in the far east during the prog­ ress of the war. Differences of opinion are understood to relate to the meas­ ures of support to' be given to Japan In such an undertaking. One diplomat remarked that public discussion, of the Siberian question seemed to lose sight of the existence of a special treaty between Great Brit­ ain and Japan making it obligatory upon the latter to protect not only her own interests, but that of her ally as well on the continent of Asia. Under the obligations of this treaty, it is held in diplomatic quarters that, while as a matter of courtesy and per­ haps of good policy, it behooved Japan keep the entente allies and the United States government informed of her purposes, it was not necessary to make any. proposition to the United States government, and probably not to her allies except Great Britain. In this connection it was explained at the state department that no direct pro­ posal has been received from Japan regarding Siberia. It is known, how­ ever, that the department has been fully informed of the Japanese plans through the British government. It took a postcard mailed at Dover, nine miles from Kinston neariy seven­ teen years to reach Mr. Lovit Hinea to whom it was addressed. that the German general staff fore- 1 ■saw a great allied effort this year and • were moving to offset it WASH INGTON-ATLANTA AIRPLANE SERVICE MORE U-BOATS DESTROYED THAN GERMANY BUILT Washington.—The postoffice depart­ ment. has under consideration a pro­ ject proposed by Representative Bell, of Georgia, to establish an airplane postal service • between Washington I and Atlanta, to connect Camps Greene, In December, Is Statement Given Out at Washington. t ____________ Washington—More submarines were , Wadsworth, Sevier, Lee and destroyed by the allied and American ; with Washington SAYS] WE TALK TOO MUCH INSJTEAD OF GETTING TO WORK.

Bickett at Kinston. “No nation is fit to endure upon fhlt earth which does not stand ready to lay its all of today upon the altar of tomorrow,” said Governor Bickett in. a war address here. Hundreds of a crowd which greeted him were turned away. Several of the hearers and would-be auditors were women. The governor, speaking for over an hour, touched upon the sins of Ger­ many, the steps thiB nation has taken for the prosecution of the war,- the debt to France and*other phases of the “great enterprise.” He told of what kind of soldiers North Carolina is fur­ nishing and declared he is proud of them. He characterized the selective draft as the fairest thing of its kind ever conceived. It is not right that any man should demand equal rights and oppose equal duties, he asserted. When the coming draft is finished there will not be a loafer between the ages of 21 and 31 left In North Caro­ lina. He issued an Invitation to wom­ en claiming worthless husbands to no­ tify him on the quiet, guaranteeing that any . such women should imme­ diately face to the ' world "another chance.” Maternity Deaths Reduced. Three hundred mothers and three hundred new . born babies saved last year as a result of a public health nursing service among policyholders, is an accomplishment to which a large life insurance company points with pride. According to Miss Irene R. Foote, field supervisor of the nursing service for this company, the mater­ nity period for the average woman is one fraught with many unnecessary dangers. One of the chief sources of danger, according to Miss Foote, comes from carelessness and igno­ rance on the part of the midwives in many sections of the country. Where physicians are in attendance* .accord­ ing to Miss Foote, many of the dan­ gers, complications and ill effects fol­ lowing child birth never occur. As a direct result of only one year’s activity along this line, this company reports a decrease in the mortality among policyholders who became mothers of eight and one-half per cent while in the general registration area of the United States there has been-found an increase in the mortal­ ity of mothers of 1.9 per cent among such cases. Stirring Up'Trouble for Themselves. The attention of the Food Adminis­ tration has’ been called to the fact that in spite of the high price of cot­ ton seed during the past two or three years there are farmers in North Car­ olina who persist in the once profit­ able custom of composting cottonseed with their manure. Farmers who pur­ sue this course this year may be stir­ ring up trouble for themselves in ad­ dition to refusing to hear the cries for’ food from famished millions abroad. The situation is this: Cotton seed may be exchanged for cottolnseed meal of three times their value for fertilizer purposes. Cotton seed contains ap­ proximately 320 pounds of fats per ton. This fat or oil is. absolutely I worthless as fertilizer while it is des­ perately needed as fats by our ar­ mies and by millions of people who are famishing for fats and other food products in Europe.

Correspondent Gives Thrilling D escription of First Ex­ perience a t Front. LIGHTED BY STARRY BALL09N Night Watchers - Trust Nobody But Themselves^-Both Sides Watching the Flaring Bombing and Ma­ chine Gunning at Intervals. With the French Armies in the Field. —Night life in a first-line trench has its little,bag of thrills for the begin­ ner. Poilus say night trenches are monot­ onous, but all Poilus have seen livelier things than trench life. ‘ To an American correspondent, spending a first night on the fringe of No Man’s Land precisely as no doubt hundreds of thousands of Ameri­ cans will before the end of the war, a nocturnal trench has all the melodra­ matic elements to keep up interest and drive monotony away. Darkness seems to settle down quickly over the frowsy, weedy, gray strip in front, which nobody owns and nobody treads In daylight. A batter^ of French guns bark sharply . in the rear. Firefly flashes wink a mile behind the enemy’s wire. The French gunners are saying “Good night” to a Bocbe battery, and the dull “boom,” "boom,” “boom”—then the squeal of enemy steel above tells you the Boche Is answering. Unless un­ foreseen things happen tonight, the gunners will “rest on their arms” un­ til daybreak. On “quiet” sectors like this it often happens. With darkness down, the night shift is eating supper in their dugouts and rigging out in sheepskin jackets to begin the silent night watch over the parapets. The dugouts—corrugated steel and sand-bag construction at In­ tervals a few yards back of-the first line—are smelly and dark, but filled with life. Its human life and insect life, the latter making little difference so long as steel and sandbags shed va­ grant shells. Men say they can get accustomed to insects, but the bite of a shell fs different SignsofAmericg. The correspondent found-the Inevi­ table American sign in these 'dugouts tonight. Penciled names on the wood­ en bunks suggested New York’s East side, S t Louis, ^Cincinnati, Milwaukee and other purer American names sug­ gested early settlers on the prairies of the middle West. In fact, it was In the trench just outside that a small body of American “Sammies” on No­ vember 3 fought desperately against overwhelming German odds In Ameri­ ca’s first battle of the big European war. .The night Poilus have taken their places a few yards-apart along the parapet. The -day PoIlus have filed into the dugouts for food and rest A machine gun Is “rat-tat-tat-ing” its evening tryout.' AU machine guns are. frequen.tly tested at night A fainter “rat-tat-tat-tat” shows that the Bodie is doing it, too. A bright fiery streak roars up nearby and a small white- parachute floats-gently down with an incandescent flare lighting up No Man’s Land for a hundred yards around. Somebody saw a suspicious move beyond the wire, an officer ex­ plained.' The officer orders a few rifle grenades fifed as a warning to prowl­ ing -Bodies, perhaps trying to learn "something or to cut the wire, Tlie Poilu heads, silhouetting over the para­ pet at intervals' against the blackness beyond, “duck down” for an instant while the grenades explode with cav­ ernous roars. These missiles , fly into a hundred. pieces each and wipe out Hfe for rods around. More machine guns.are tapping their warnings- or having their “tryouts” here .and there along the line. The Boche again; as if nervous, is doing It, too. Nobody I? Trusted. A half-hour follows without a single spark of fireworks. But it. breaks out again—both sides: watching, flaring, bombing.; machine-gunning, t.suspicious things In Jtliat uncanny black stretch of No Man's Land, fringed on each side with night, watchers who trust nobody but themselves. Another period of silence except low voices of men talking in "trench whis­ pers.” They’ve lenrned to “trench- whisper” by constant practice. A PoIlu apologetically explained, as he rear­ ranged his nest of black egglike hand grenades on the trench shelf before him, -that American soldiers talked too loud at. first But they finally ,■ learned -to “parler doucement” he added. The Boche Is active again. A flock of hand grenades roar themselves into silence on the other side as fiery light streaks perform arcs like Roman can­ dles and then float gracefully down under their parachutes Intq the Ger­ man wire. A rifle grenade explodes half-way across No Man’s Land and Boclie machine guns take up the tune. The Bocbe having told the French by the display that no German soldiers are prowling in this part of No Man’s Land, there is silence again until time makes things uncertain. “The Boche has no reason to be nervous yet,” whispered an officer. “Our first patrol goes out at 2 o'clock. Would you like to go along?” . Patrolling is one of the milder games of hide and seek in No Man’s Land at night and it’s something most all Apierlcan trench, soldiers will learn before the war is over. • LONDON HAS NEW CRIMINAL He- Gives Poisoned Candy to the Wom­ an Conductors of the Mo- torbuees. London--This city has a new klnjl of criminal. He will take rank with the "ink squirter" of New York and possibly “Jack the Peeper.” This new­ est brand of criminal has been giv­ ing poisoned candy to woman conduc­ tors of motorbuses. He is described as middle aged, of gentlemanly, appear­ ance and suave speech. Several of his victims have been taken unconscious to ,hospitals, but all have recovered. At least a dozen young women have received poisoned candy from him and without exception they have been taken violently 111 soon aft­ er eating it. His custom is to wait until he Is the only passenger-in the bus and then to open a box of chocolates and invite the conductor to help herself. Usu­ ally the woman says she will, because candy Is scarce and costly In London and the conductors do hot make hand­ some wages. He usually asks the In­ tended victim to take as much as she wishes, and a moment or two after­ ward leaves the bus. AU the women say they could identi­ fy liini. The police are making a dili­ gent search for him, but their search does not prevent him from carrying on his operations. There are thousands of motorbuses In London, and the field of operations Is therefore large. . Y. M. C. A. DUGOUTS AT FRONT IOV MIS.

Sixty Gothas in Raid On Paris P assen gers Arriving in United S ta te s Give Thrilling Ac­ counts of A ttack. FAMOUS BUILDINGS WRECKED Bombs Tore Up Streets During Two- Hour Siege In Inky Darkness— Death Toll 245—Drop Nine Tons of Explosives. An Atlantic PorL—Thrilliag eye­ witness accounts of one of the tremen­ dous German air raids on Paris, were brought by passengers arriving at this port on a French steamship recently. One'of the passengers, in a position to know -all the facts, declared that mere than 200 men, women and children had been killed, that OO fast Gothas had taken part In the raid and that over nine tons of explosive bombs had been dropped during a two-hour siege. One American ambulance driver alone; according to a passenger, picked up 70 bodies during the night “The Germans' picked out the dark­ est night In a long time to make their raid,” said this informant, whose name cannot be divulged. “Their squadrons came. over. Vincennes, and headed for the heart of the city. Fought In Dark. “It was about midnight when the, popping of the antiaircraft guns woke me and gave the first alarm. I looked out, but nothing could be seen In the blackness, except the flash of the de­ fending batteries, in every part of the city, and, occasionally, the sizzling trail of a bomb. . “French machines had ^risen to the attack at the first signal, but they were greatly handicapped by the dark­ ness. The rattle of their machine guns could be plainly heard and there were several dashes, but for the most part the French fliers went winging blindly and at random through the dark. ’ “For.two.hours the city was pelted with bombs. Hospitals were hit and convalescent soldiers wounded. Fa­ mous public buildings—I am not al­ lowed to tell their names, but they are known all over the world—were badly damaged, nndsom e of the famous boulevards and , public, squares were torn up as by an earthquake. Death Toll Put at 245. “From information I gathered the toll of death was nearer 245 than 45, as the official statement says. Au American ambulance driver, a friend, worked through the night with other members of the corps,'scouring every part of Paris, for the whole city Waa under fire. He picked up 70 bodies, in addition to scores of wounded. “The next morning I found that three of the bombs had fallen and ex­ ploded on the doorstep of the house where I. was stopping, tearing great holes six feet In diameter. I found several unexploded bombs nearby, of the shape of footballs, but consider­ ably larger In size.” After the attacking squadron had retired, according to the passengers, It was found that one of the enemy planes had been brought down. The people of Paris, the passengers said, were of the opinion that the raid was by way of reprisal for what French fliers had done over German cities.” POLITICAL LEADER IN RANKS South Carolina Legislator. Waives Ex­ emption and Enlists in the Ma­ rine Corps. Port Royal, S. C.—Side by side men from various walks of life, Len A. Scott, three times Republican repre­ sentative from Hardin county, Ten­ nessee. and minority floor leader In the lower house of the last two legis­ latures, is rapidly learning the flue points of Marine life. He enlisted In tlm Marine corps re­ cently for the duration of the war, waiving exemption on the ground that he was. a state legislative officer, and was sent to this station for prelim­ inary training. Scott is well known In political cir­ cles, It being remembered that he was the author of the first resolution in­ troduced in the house of representa­ tives, pledging support to President Wilson when war .with Germany be­ came inevitable.

Aunt Grace was gazing idly at her sewing basket, a soft smile on her lips. And Fairy was staring thoughtfully into the twi­ light, a soit glow in her eyes. Aunt Grace was thinking of the jolly parson­ age family, and how pleasant It was to live with them. And Fairy was thinking—ah, Fairy was twenty, and twenty-year-olds always stare into the twilight, with dreamy -far-seeing eyes. In upon this peaceful scene burst the twins, flushed, tempestuous, in spite of their seventeen years. Their hurry to speak had rendered them incapable of speech, so they stood In the doorway panting breathlessly for a moment, while Fairy and her aunt, withdrawn thus rudely from dreamland, looked at them interrogatively. "Yes, I think so, too,” began Fairy, and the twins endeavored to crush her with their lofty scorn. But it is not easy to express lofty scorn when one Is red In the face, persplrey and short of breath. So the twins decided of necessity to overlook the offense just this once. Finally, recovering their vocal pow­ ers simultaneously, they cried In uni­ son: “Duekie!” “Duck I In the yard! Do you mean a live one? Where did it come from?” ejaculated their aunt. “They mean Professor Duck of their freshman year,” explained Fairy com­ placently. “It’s nothing. The twins always make a fuss over him. They feel grateful to him for showing them through freshman science—that’s all.” “That’s all,” gasped CaroL “Why, Fairy Starr, do you know he’s em­ ployed by the—Society of—a—a scien­ tific research organization—or some­ thing—in New York city, and gets four thousand dollars a year and has pros­ pects—all kinds of prospects!” lTes, I know It. You haven’t seen him, auntie. He’s tall, and has wrinkles around his eyes, and a dictatorial nose, and steel gray eyes. Hg^calls the twins song-birds, and they’re so !flattered they adore him. He sends them candy t s Christmas. You know that Duckie Gey rave so much about. It’s the very i nan. Is he here?” "He’s In town,” said Lark. “Going to stay a week,* added Carol. “And he said he wanted to have iots of good times with us, and so—we— why, of course It was very sudden, and we didn’t have time to ask—” “But parsonage doors are always open--” “And I don’t know how he ever wormed <t out of us, but—one of us—” “I can’t remember which one I” “Invited him to come for dinner to­ night and he’s coming.1’ “Goodness,” said Aunt Grace.. “We are going to have potato soup and toast” lTtTl keep,” said Carol. “Of course we’re 6orry to Inconvenience you at this late hour, but Lafkie and I will tell Connie what to do, so you won’t have much bother. Let’s see, now, we must think up a pretty fair meal. Four lhousand a year—and prospects!” Aunt Grace turned questioning eyes toward the older sister. “All right,” said Fairy, smiling. ‘Tt’s vldenUy'Settled. Think up your menu, twin* and put Connie to work.” . "Is he nice?” Aunt Grace queried. “Yes, I think he is. He used to go with our college bunch some. I know him pretty well. He brought me home Irom things a time or two.” Carol leaned forward and looked at hW handsome sister with sudden in- 'entness.. “He asked about you,” she said, keen eyes on Fairy’s .1 “He asked Particularly about you.” “Did he? Thanks. Yes, he’s not bad. He’s pretty good in a crowd,” By the force of her magnetic gaze, Cftiol drew Lark out of the room, and the door closed behind them.' A few minutes later they returned. There was about them an air of subdued ex­ citement, suggestive of intrigue, that Fairy found disturbing. “You needn’t plan any, nonsense, twins," she cautioned. “He’s no beau- of mine.” “Of course not,” they assured, her Pleasantly. “We’re too old for mis­ chief. Seventeen, and sensible for our years! Say, Fairy, you’ll, be. nice to Duckie, won’t 'you? Can’t, you try to bake u piaasanl for Jitm this week? He’ll only be here a few days. Will you do that much for us?” “Why, I would, twins, of course, to oblige you, but you know Gene’s in town this week, and Fve got to—” “Oh, you leave Babbie—Gene, I mean—to us,” said Carol airily. Fairy being a junior in college, and Bugene Babler a student'of pharmacy in Chi­ cago, she felt obliged to restore him to his Christian name, shortened to Gene. But the twins refused to accede to this propriety, except when they particu­ larly wished to placate Fairy. “You leave Gene to us,” repeated Carol. “We’ll amuse him. Is he com­ ing tonight?” “Yes, at seven-thirty.” "Let's call him up and Invite him for dinner, too," suggested Lark. “And you'll do us a favor and be nice to Duckie, won’t you? , We’ll keep Babb— er, Gene—out of the road. You phone to Gene, Carol, and—” “I’ll do my own phoning, thanks,” said Fairy, rising quickly. “Yes, we’ll have them both. And just as a favor to you, twins, I will help amuse your pro­ fessor. You’ll be good, and help, won’t you?” The twins glowed at Fairy with a warmth that seemed almost triumph­ ant She stopped and looked at them doubtfully. When she returned after telephoning, they were gone, and she said to her aunt: ‘Tm not superstitious, but when the twins'act like that there’s usually a cloud In the parsonage skylight. Pru­ dence says so.” But the twins comported themselves most decorously. AU during the week they worked like kitchen slaveys, doing chores, running errands. And they treated Fairy with a gentle considera­ tion which almost drew tears to her eyes, though she still remembered Pru­ dence’s cloud In the parsonage sky­ light! They certainly interfered vrith her own plans. They engineered her off on to their beloved professor at every con­ ceivable turn. And Gene, who nearly haunted the house, had a savage gleam in his eyes quite out of accord with his usual chatty good humor. Fairy knew she was being adroitly managed, but she had promised to help the twins with "Duckie.” At first'she tried ar- tisticaUy and unobtrusively to free her­ self from the complication In which her Sistiers had Involved Ker.' But the twins were both persistent and clever, and Fairy found herself no match for them when it came right down to business, She had no idea of their purpose—she only knew that she and Gene were al­ ways on opposite sides of the room, the young man grinning savagely at the twins’ merry prattle, and she and the professor trying to keep quiet enough to hear every word from the other cor­ ner. And If they walked, Gene was dragged off by the firm slender fingers of the friendly twins, and Fairy and the professor walked drearily along In the rear, talking Inanely about the weather—and wondering what the twins were talking'about And the week passed. Gene finally fell off in his attendance, and the twins took a much-needed- rest On Friday afternoon they flattered themselves that all was welL Gene was not com­ ing, Fairy was in the hammock waiting for' the- professor. So the twins hugged each other gleefully and went to the haymow to discuss the strain and struggle of the week. A n d ttra-- . “Why, the big mutt!” cried Carol, In her annoyance Ignoring the Methodist grammatical boundaries, “here comes that bubbling Babler this minute. And he said he was going to New London, for the day. Now we’ll have to chase down there and shoo him off before Duckie comes.” The twins, growling and grumbling, gathered themselves up and started. But they started too re­ luctantly, too leisurely. They were not in time. Fairy sat up in the hammock with a cry of surprise, but. not vexation, when Gene’s angry countenance appeared be­ fore her. “Look here, Fairy,” he began, “what’s the Joke? Are your fingers itching to get hold of .that four thou­ sand a year the twins are eternally bragging about? Are you trying to thrown yourself into the old school teacher’s pocketbook, or what?” “Don’t 'be silly. Gene,” she said, “come ®nd sit down and—•” “Sit down, your grandmother !” he snapped, stiH angrily. “Ota Dorible D. 35. win be bobbing up 1a a minute, and :fhe twins'll drag me off to hear about a Sck ‘rooster, or something. He is com­ ing, itttt fee “I—guess he is,” she said confusedly. "Let’s cut and run, will you?” he suggested hopefully. “We can be out of sight befoie— Come on. Fairy, be good to me. I naven’t had a glimpse or a touch of you the whole week. What do you reckon I came down here for? Come on. Let’s beat it.” He looked around with a worried air. “Hurry or the twins’ll get us.” Fairy hesitated, and was lost. Gene grabbed her hand, and the next in­ stant, laughing, they were crawling -C- der the fence at the, south corner of the parsonage lawn just as the twins appeared at the barn door. They: stopped. They gasped. They stared at each otter In dismay. “It was a put-up job,” declared Carol. “Now what’ll we do? But Babble’s got more sense than I thought he had, I must confess. Do you suppose he was kidnaping her?” Carol snorted derisively. “Kidnaping nothing! She was ahead when I saw ’em. What’ll we tell the professor?” Two humbled gentle twins greeted the professor, some fifteen minutes later. “We’re so sorry,” Carol explained f-intly. "Babble came and he and Fairy—I guess they had an errand somewhere. We think they’ll be back very soon. Fairy will be so sorry." The professor smiled and looked quite bright. “Are they gone?" “Yes, but we’re sure they’ll be back —that is, we’re almost sure." Carol, remembering the mode of their depar­ ture, felt far less assurance on that point than she-could have wished. “Well, that’s too bad,” he said cheer­ fully. “But my loss is Babler’s gain. I suppose we ought In Christian de­ cency to give him the afternoon. Let’s tlCome On, Let's Beat It!" go out to the creek for a stroll our­ selves, shall we? That’ll leave him a dear field when they return. You think they’ll be back soon, do you?” He looked down the road hopefully, but whether hopeful they would re­ turn, or wouldn't, the twins could not- have told. At any rate, 'he seemed quite impatient until they were ready to start, and then, very gayly, the three wended their way out the pretty country road toward, the creek and Blackbird lane. They had a good time; the twins always did insist that no one on earth was quite so entertaining as dear old Duckie, but in her heart Carol registered a solemn vow to have it out with Fairy- when she got back. She had no opportunity that night. Fairy and .Gene telephoned that they would not be home for dinner, and the pro­ fessor bad gone, and the twins were sleeping soundly,- when Fairy crept softly up the'stairs. - But Carol did not forget her vow. Early the next morning she stalked grimly, into Fairy’s room, where Fairy was conscientiously bringing order out of the chaos In her bureau drawers, a thing Fairy always did After a perfect­ ly happy day. Carol knew that, and it was with genuine reproach in her voice that she spoke at last, after standing for some two minutes watching Fairy as. she deftly twirled long ribbons about her fingers and then laid them in methodical piles In separate corners of the. drawers. “Fairy,” she said sadly, “you don’t seem very appreciative, some way. Here Larkle and I have tried so bard to give you a genuine opportunity— we’ve worked and schemed and kept ourselves in the background, and that's the way you serve us! It’s disappoint­ ing. It’s downright disheartening.” Fairy folded a blue veil and laid it on top of a white -one. Then she turned. “Yes. WhatT' - Sbe inquired coolly. “There are so few real -chances for a woman in Mount Mairk,. and we felt that this was once In a lifetime. And you know how hard we, worked. And then, when we. relaxed our—our Vig- flacw—just for a raotasct, « u spoiled it all by—” ’ “Yes—talk English, Carrie. What was it you tried to do for me?” “Well, if you want plain English you can have it,” said Carol. “You know what professor is, a swell position like his, and such prospects, and New York city, and four thousand a year with a raise for next year, and we tried to give you a good fair chance to land him squarely, and—” “To land him—” “To get him, then! He hasn’t any SlrL You could have been engaged to him this moment—Prof. David Arnold DUke—if you had wanted to.” “Oh, is that it?" “Yes, that’s it.” Fairy smiled. “Thank you, dear, It was sweet of you, but you’re too late I am engaged.” - - Carol’s lips parted, dosed, parted again. “You—you?” “Exactly so.” Hope flashed into Carol’s eyes. Fairy saw it, and answered swiftly. "Certainly noL Tm not crazy about your little professor. I am engaged to Eugene Babler.” She said it with pride, not unmixed with defiance, knowing as she did that the twins con­ sidered Gene too undignified for a par­ sonage son-ia-law. The twins were strong for parsonage dig" 'ty I “You—are?” *T am.” A long instant Carol .. .ved at her. Then she turned toward the door. “Where are you gslng?” ‘Tm going to tell papt” Fairy laughed. "Papa I jows it.” Carol came slowly back and stood by the dresser again. After a short silenca she moved away once more. “Where now?” “To tell Aunt Grace, then.” "Aunt Grace knows it, too.” “Does Prudence know it?” “Yes.” Carol swallowed this bitter pill In silence. “How long?” she Inquired at last. "About a year. .Look here, Carol, I’ll show you something. Really Pm glad you know about it. We’re pretty young, and papa thought we ought to keep it dark a while, to make sure That’s why we didn’t tel! you. Look at this,” From her cedar chest—a Christmas gift from Gene—she drew out a small velvet jeweler’s box, and displayed before the admiring eyes of Carol a plain gold ring with a modest diamond. Carol kissed IL Then she kissed Fairy twice. ' “I know you’ll be awfully happy, I Fairy,” she said soberly. “And I’roj glad of IL But—I can’t honestly be;j lieve there’s any man good enough for; our girls.

SAVORY FOODS. Hominy is one of our cheaper cereals and should be more freely used. YVe say cheaper, yet corn be­ cause of its scarcity has not been cheap, but an­ other year with a. good crop it will, we hope, be back to its normal price. .Potatoes are plentiful this year and we are be- . ing asked to use them ! more freely as our farm­ ers will not be willing to raise another big crop if there is not a good market for them. Hominy Cakes.—Take half a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of cooked hominy, one egg, a half cupful of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of baking powder all well mixed and well beaten. Bake on a hot griddle. Hominy grits make a fine breakfast food. Use one cupful of grits and five cupfuls of boiling water with salt; cook three hours in a double boiler. This may be used hot as a breakfast food or fried as mush. Savory Nuta--Blanch chestnuts and cook them until tender In milk, then mash and serve with honey and whipped cream. A most delicious com­ bination. Eggless Carrot Pudding.—Take a, half pound of grated carrot, add a half, o pound of suet finely chopped, a pound1 of raisins, three-fourths of a pound of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, a half of a grated nutmeg, a teaspoonful of soda, a pound of flour, and. an ounce, of peeled pumpkin seeds.

FEEDING THE CHILD; The wise mother appreciates the im­ mense value of teaching her child to _ masticate Its solid food well, begin­ ning with its first mouthful. The hab­ it will soon be formed which will never be broken. Food well masticat­ ed is much easier of digestion, less food is eaten, as the appetite is soon­ er satisfied and in consequence no food is wasted. A child should never be al­ lowed to hurry or to eat when excited; forcing a child to eat after excitement and play will often cause serious diges­ tive disturbances. . For a child from two. to three, orange juice, prune juice, the pulp of stewed prunes, baked apple and some­ times scraped raw apple may be given but never just before or just after a feeding of milk. The yolk of egg contains the growth stimulant which all young animals should have in some form. Milk, but­ ter, cream, green leaves of various plants as well as clover and alfalfa contain this wonderful growing prin­ ciple. Cereals of various kinds long and well cooked, if strained of coarse fiber will make a good food for the young child. Sweets are craved by all children and they should have them in the most digestible form which will be suffi­ ciently satisfying, that is In dried fruit like prunes, figs, raisins and apricots. Later a child may have a piece of wholesome candy after a meal, once or twice a week, but a child is better in every way to get its sugar from fruit Dry toast, stale bread, graham crackers and zwieback are all good breads for little people. ' Simple desserts should not be given until the child is two years old. - Cus­ tards, baked fruit, with cream, rice cooked I In milk and. ripe fresh fruit will , make a sufficient variety. PaStry should never be given to a child until 'after ten’,years of age. ; The breakfast may be a little meal, but at noon the food should be the heartiest with a supper of. simple bread and \ milk, milk toast-or some light, easily digested fond like rice and -milk. • ' GCjOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. Sliikple foods, well cooked, are the or­ der \<k the day. For an economical \ \ , meatless^ dish try the following: Soak over night one pint of kidney beans, boll until tender.

A WORD ABOUT SHOES.- I have just returned from the big shoe market at St. Louis, 1 •’The Biggest in the World.” I visited several large factories wnile there, inspected thousands of shoes and large quantities of all kinds of leather. I spent some time in one of the largest tanneries in America, inspected the entire plant-and was instructed about the : merits of each kind of leather, each machine and its operation I talked with several of the brainiest shoe men in the world, gather­ ed all the knowledge about shoes that was possible. | I contracted for large quantities of all ''Solid Leather” Shoes to j bfe made for Jones & Gentry Co..'<r-? will be able to keep the price of staples and heavy shoes d-j .v;i Cu the same price they are j now at for next fall. Our watching and keeping n 1,1 ■< nr. the market and hav- | ing our shoes made of "Soiici L* ■ • " nas saved our customers j lots of money on their shoes fur it sr. f.ul. The leather-market is very reasonable, nothing jexBc<.<u» Ui- leather market and the people who talk high prices on shoes are the ones that want | high prices for their goods. There is lots of speculation going on i'ow in the shoe world and there i3 lots of imitation leather made I into shoes, they look gogd, but will not wear. The “Star Brand” shoe people are the bingestin the "‘Solid Leath­ er” shoe makers in the world, their records prove it. They don’t allow any sboe made in their 28 Factories but those made of solid leather—no imitation goes in that organization and thc-y have con­ tracted to make thousands of pairs for us.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20. 1918. life’: NUMBER36 Strewiog Flowers Along Pathway. It should be the desire of all peo­ ple to make the pathway of life which they travel in as pleasant as possible, both for themselves and others. Sin and sorrow should be banished as much as possible, for it has no part, or should have no part in our life,—sin especially. We need to keep close watch and careful guard as we go on, and see that all the thorns of evil which are so unpleas­ ant are plucked up and annihilated, so far as one part goes and the in terests of others are concerned. If we have been pricked and tom by them along the’way we should not want others to have the same trou­ bles and misfortunes. God wants to make it delightful for them—de lightful in love and righteousness. If we make it pleasant for them they will make it plelsantrfor us. - If we love then! they will also love us “Love is reflected in love," and love brings new and fresh blessings from the fountain of all love. If we do good for others through love they will do good for us. We receive in return just about what we give to orhers, or what we do for them. It has been said: “Give to the world the best you have and the best will return to you again," The return current will carry it back Iaden with blessings great and wonderful to be­ hold and glorious to’possess. But on the other hand, if you give to the world the worst you have— thorns and thistles, briars and stings —you may be well aware of the fact that you will to a great extent, re­ ceive the same in return. There­ fore, Jesus says, “all things whatso­ ever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthews 7:12. - This to the Golden. R ule,. Scatter or strew flowers,— good and pleasant words/, sweet and cheerful smiles, helpfullnes encour­ agement, and good deeds,—along the way where you journey To use a Bible term or sentence: “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt firfd it after many days." Bloom over each unpleasant thorn or thistle some sweet rose or lovely flower. Let this. be the' one great and sublime object and pur­ pose of your life, coupled with .the earnest desire to follow-in the foot­ steps of the Master. Live for others. Have an earnest in the wel­ fare of those around you. .Help them to be happy and successful. Lead them out on broader and high­ er heights in life. Help to uplift and elevate them. Do notkick them lower, but if they have fallen in mis fortune, wnich is very often the case, be like the good Samaritan, help them; lift them up; again. Show yourself neighborly and you will have neighbors. This is the real Christ-like spirit ' and ' shows Christ-life. Have a love laden message for those whom you chance to meet and converse with. “Owe no man nothing, but to love another: for he that Ioveth another, hath fulfilled the law. “ Each step thdtvou help your fellnwman to make upward toward heaven. God will reward you for it. Each rose that you bloom for the jpy and good of others. God will add to your crown a star for it. . The flowers that you strew along - the pathway for the pilgrim who is following on are not lost. They are to brighten his career. Some sad and wounded heart will behold them and perhaps take courage Hence .It -is - worth while—the strewing of flowers along the way. v Better now than after death comes. f ir we can do the dead no good,. If you have a good word; to say, say it while the one of whom it_ is spoken is living. If you have a’ warm pld“® for him in your heart, and a high re- gtrd for his life and: ^aracJteft ‘let him know it. It will do him g°pd. Don't wait.uitil he is dead to do ,all ofym rgood speaking about him. He will know nothing :of it .then. But while he is living is the'- time, more especially. Perhaps it will en‘ able him to be more courageous and faithful. It may give him hew en­ ergy and Christian zeal. However it will brightenhis pathway. If y°h can do him a good deed, do "it now. Don’t wait until life is ovqr you show any love by turning flow­ ers over bis casket and shedding tears of homage to his memory. But,— If you have a wreath of flowers, Twine it round his care-worn brow: ^ a it not for the grave and casket, 'Tis more blessed given now. Many, many people are making the mistake of failing to show • their love and respect to their fellowmen until death has severed the silver cord of life. Ah, this is worthless! The dead are none the better, nei­ ther does God bless you for it. Our mission should be to help the ■ living not the dead. Then let us move the impediments and hindrance from the way, and never instead be stum­ bling blocks. To these whom we meet and with whom we deal 7We should say: Go forward; do not. be discouraged; and the glorious goal is jus.t ahead! “If God be for us, who can . be against us?” Realize that we have all power on our side, namely, God. Then why fail? Is there any need of it? Is such to be our destiny? Were we born for failure and defeat? Is it the decree of our heavenly Father pronounced upon us?' No! a thousand times No! We have but to be faithful and cou­ rageous. This is the secret, if I may call it such, that underlies every- IaudabIe and successful life, with the attachments of the noble attri­ butes of work, hope, trust and con­ fidence in God, good. “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give the a crown of life.” This is the final promise. So then let the spirit which was in Christ Jesus be in you, and you will not be unsuccessful along the way. In the language of the poet I would say: Be strong. We are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do, and loads to lift; IjShun flot the struggle—face it; ’tis God’s gift.” ' Remember again, dear friend,— “After night clouds slip away, Only radiant stars remain. / At the breaking of the day. Beams* the ardent sun again. In the doing of good deeds. GemmingJhus the golden morn, Is the life blood of all creeds. And the joy that cries New born!” I am quite sure we all have much to live for if we would only consider it thus leaving self more than we do. We have fathers and mothers brothers and sisters, friends, .re­ lations and neighbors that we need to live for, and we ought to count this much. Our ardent desire should be to brighten their pathway 'and make them happy, giving them a foretaste of heaven on earth - Following is a little verse from my own poem which expresses my de­ sire:— I like to strew sweet flowers Along the path of life To help some traveler onward Jn peace and thro’ all strife:, I like to see him smiling With joy down in his soul; And bravely pressing forward To life's eternal goal. And so I mean to help him To run a patient race, - To1 reach his end successful. And heaven to be his place. Yes; we have such to live for home, county the world, God, and a glorious and eternal heaven. And by strewing flowers,—flowers of helpfullness and cheerfullness along life’s pathway,— we shall not have lived in vain, but the blessed goal will be ours some day. SAMUEL CARTER.- Gamp Jackson, S.

The Democratic press has been telling us that this is no time to talk tariff. What, then, have they to say of the following para- giaph in President Wilson’s: ad­ dress to Congress on America’s war aims; - “ The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the es­ tablishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting-to the peace and associ dtiug themselves for its malnteo ance.” - If President Wilson deems this au appropriate time to assail ’ the protective tariff, why is it not ,, an apptopriate time for the construct­ ive business men. of America to de­ fend that economic policy; jbjjoui which Americ&n prosperity "has al­ ways depended. If the laboring men of America do not want to be placed upon an equality with the laboring men ol China and Japan, : or upon an equality with the laboring men oi' Europe, when will there be a belter time for them to Bay Sb than now, immediately alter the President has annonnced-to' the world his plans for our economic future If they remain sileut now, will it not be.an inferential endorsement of the free trade propaganda?

Yet she is our only hope of preservation today. She repre­ sents our country. She is our native land, our fatherland, we have toil ed and sacrificed for 140 years.

Our troops have been subject to an extraordinary heavy ar­ tillery fire. More than 240 . shells, which make craters 30 feet deep and 30 feet in diameter, fell in one sec­ tion of the line. In another section btateries have been sheiled heavily. Store gas shells have fallen in both the Toul and Luneville sectors, hut the larger number in the former. 500 ARMY HORSES OUT OF 726 WERE POISONED Ten Thousand People Join1In Remark­ able Demonstration. Covington. Ky.—A crowd estimated at 10,000. which included men, Vomen and children here, participated in a markable demonstration of patriotic protest against what is believed to be pro-German propaganda in Covington as exemplified by the poisoning: of 500 of 720 government artillery horses shipped from Camp Grant, Illinois for an Atlantic seaport. Ten thousand others were unable to get near the field outside of the stockade of the Covington stockyards where lay the carcasses of hundreds of animals and the steadily diminish­ ing number of survivors of the poison plot. ’ ‘ Bmotions of the throng had been aroused to a high pitch of patriotic fervor when an interruption from a man giving the name of Richard Schmidt, 23 years old, nearly brought about his lynching. As it was, he was severly beaten before police lock­ ed him ,up. The mass meeting of pro­ test was held under the auspices of the Citizens’ Patriotic League of Coving­ ton. The meeting decided to send a memorial to congress calling upon the congressional law-makers to enact a law interning every enemy alien with­ in the borders of the United States and making more stringent the laws gov­ erning all seditious and traitorous acts. An investigation of the poisoning of the horses is being conducted by fed sral agents. Acquire Egyptian Cotton. London.—The British and Egyptian governments have decided Jointly to acquire the entire Egyptian cotton <-rop beginning next August. A com­ mission has been appointed to take control of the regulations. MESSAGE CABLED FROM THE HAGUE TO LONDON. The Hague.—After a cabinet coun­ cil lasting into the. night, the govern­ ment cabled to London , a message which, according to reliable informa­ tion, probably will lead to a satisfac­ tory conclusion of the shipping diSi culty. An Amsterdam dispatch said it had been learned on excellent auth­ ority that the Dutch government had accepted the demand of the entente allies relating to the use of Dutch ships in the danger zone. COL. J. C. L. HARRIS, OF RALEIGH, PASSES AWAY Raleigh.—Col. J. C. L.

E ME TMS LORD CECIL SAYS THAT NO SUCH PROPOSALS ARE BEING “CONSIDERED.” PEACE IS OFFERED SERBU Holland In “Perilous” Situation, on Account of Allied Nations Taking Over Her Ships. That peace terms have been offered Great Britain by Germany may possi­ bly be interred from several signifi­ cant statements given out. Lord Robert Cecil, British minister of blockade, when asked it proposals "had been received for a peace;at the expense of Russia” answered that “no such proposals are being considered or will be considered.’’, A little earlier an Amsterdam dis­ patch, .quoted Field Marshal von Hin- denbiirg. as saying that "the entente has shown, an unresponsive attitude toward Germany's peace intentions and the -great Gerinan offensive must therefore go on.”' Later General von Ludendorff, the German quartermaster general; was reported as saying: "Since the enemy is not inclined to make peace, we will have to fight, and this fight will, of course, be the most tremendous of the whole war.” Ludendorff Boasts Strength. General von Ludendorff continued: lWe are stronger than the enemy as regards men, material, aerial forces, tanks. Everything, in fact, of which he boasted is standing in readiness on our side in the greatest abund­ ance. The treaty of peace submitted -by Germany to Russia at Brest-Litovsk, which makes Russia, an1 outpost of the central empires, has either been ratified by the all-Russian congress, of soviets or its ratification apparently’ is imminent. Reports from Moscow are not clear on the situation, but it seems certain that the bolshevik element has voted by a large majority to affirm the treaty. As this element dominates the congress, the hard terms will doubt­ less be accepted, notwithstanding re­ ports that Leon Trotzky, tlie mouth­ piece of the bolsheviki, is opposed to their, provisions and is willing to try to reorganize the Russian army to fight the German invaders.' Holland stands in a perilous situa­ tion, according to the German news­ papers. which are printing editorials, evidently inspired, on the taking over of-Dutch ships by the United States and Great Britain. “Drastic measures” are advocated if Holland "gives way” to the allies. ’ FIFTY HORSES ARE DEAD; RESULT OF GERMAN HAND viovington, Ky.—Fifty horses are deal of poisoning in Covington and many more are expecfei? to die out of a government shipment of 726 horses from Camp Grant, Rockford, IU., con­ signed to Newport News, Va. Dr. TU E. Crisler, veterinary surgeon, Cov­ ington, pronounced the death of the animals to be due to belladona and Droton oil. poisoning. The consignment of horses reached Covington in charge of Lieut. Prank Lilley and 16 soldiers. Doctor Crisler said he believed- the poison had -been placed in' water given to the horses In .Covington. Government authori­ ties were notified. An agent of the department of justice began an inves­ tigation. Deaths of the horses gen­ erally are said to be ramifications of German plots. Bow to Germany’! Will. Washington.—Thu decision of the allRussian congress of soviecs at Mo: cow to ratify the German peace terms, announced in press cables was reach­ ed after receipt of President Wilson’s message to the Russian people assur­ ing them that America would take the first opportunity to help them regain their complete sovereignty and inde: pendence. TROOPS ENJOY SUNSHINE AFTER WEEKS OF RAIN VESSELS TO BE TAKEN OVEIJ MONDAY, MARCH 18, UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. H0LUH9 IY ACQUIESCE 8ut Her Plea of Germany's Menace No Longer Will Prevail—Deci­ sion is Final. One. million tons of Dutch shipping which will be used in sending supplies to the armies of the allies or in trans­ porting troops to -the war, zones, will be taken over by the United States and Great Britain Monday,' Marcli 18, thus'relieving iii great measure a dire need of ttte countries at war with the Teutonic allies. Holland’s hesitancy to come into an agreement with the United States and Great Britain which would permit of the use. of ships flying-her flag, many of which are now lying in American and allied ports, no longer is to be tolerated, and next Monday, whether she be willing or not, the vessels will be taken over under the provisions o£ international Ianw and put into uses which are highly essential to the suc­ cess of the allied cause. Holland yet has time to acquiesce in the demands of the United States and Great Britain and sanction the use of her shipping, but her plea of Germany’s menace no longer will avail, and there is to be no modifica­ tion In the decision of the,. United States and the allies to seize all Dutch vessels in their respective ports throughout the world and use them. Liberal compensation is to be awarded owners of the vessels and all their rights will be safeguarded. In addi­ tion the. export of foodstuffs to Hol- larid will be permitted and coal by which Hollahd may resume her inter­ rupted trade with her colohies will be guaranteed. Washington, March 14.—A million tons of Dutch ships, now held in ports the world over, through-Holland’s fear of Germany’s threat to sink them if they venture out, will be brought into the service of the Utiited' States and Great Britain on March 18. Unless the Netherlands government braves the menace of ■ Germany’s pressure and voluntarily accepts an agreement under which' the • ships would be put in .. trade, the United States' "and 1Great^ritainJifwill;- take them over under international law. availing themselves^ of a-' sovereign" right which Germany herself has hith­ erto exercised under the same author­ ity.

UST OF FIRST DRtfl TO GO GAS PROJECTILES ARE BLOWN TO PIECES American Artillery Upsets Germany’s Plans for Attack, i Four groups of German gas projectors in addition to the group of 200 project­ ors already . discovered and likewise blown to pieces by the American artil­ lery. Probable German plans for gns attack on a' comparatively large scale against the American positions north­ west of Toul have thus been upset. The new group of projectors were discovered from aerial photographs taken by' American observers in French airplanes. The elective action taken against them war. due to the quick work of the observers, the intel­ ligence officers and the artillerists in turn. The American artillery on this front has been more active than ever in the past 15 hours, and its shells also found lodgment in a number of am­ munition dumps, which were blown up. Many extensive, explosions are reported. The correspondent, stand­ ing on a hill, witnessed one dump sit­ uated in a wood go up in a brilliant flash and a great puff of whitish smoke, a tremendous report following a few seconds later. Explosions and fires also were caused by our. shells in villageaahd a number in the woods behind the enemy front. After weeks of rain. snow, wind and murky weather there came to the American front, its first bath of geti'al spring sunshine. The skies were cloudless, and in the moderate temper­ ature that prevailed sweaters were discarded by the men for the first time since last summer, while in the vil­ lages where they are billeted and in the cantonments in the training area, the camps were decorated with rolls of bedding being -given an airing. REINFORCED CONCRETE SHIPS TO TAKE LARGE PLACE Washington. — Reinforced concrete ships apparently are about to take a large place in the solution of the ship­ building difficulty whic'a. lies across the path to victory over Germany. Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, telegraphed the builders of the 5,000-ton concrete vessUl which was launched successfully on the Pacific coast to r e p o r tImmtdiately what were the. prospects for la’fing down additional hulls. ANNOUNCEMENT AS TO SIBERIA EXPECTED SOON ' Washington.—Japan’s avowal of her intention to intervene In Siberai and the announcement of the courses to be taken by the'United States and other governments aligned against the cen­ tral powers are expected to follow closely upon the adjournment of Ibe Russian congress of soviets called to meet at Moscow., Official Washington and diplomats here still ,retain faint hope that the warring' factions of Rus­ sia may yet reject the peace terms GERMANS TO GET SOME OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE London.—German prisoners of war are to be distributed over areas which the enemy’s aircraft are subjecting to attack in their raids, according to The Evening.News. “This,” says the newspaper, “is being done because ths allied governments have learned that prisoners of their nationalities in Ger­ man hands already ' have been so placed in all towns which the German government considers Iifo Iy to be at­ tacked” Advance Guard of New Craft Being De­ livered or Use in Submarine Hunting. • Washington.—America's first fight­ ing seaplane equipped with Liberty motors has been tried out and accept­ ed, it was ,Iearned7 and a number of the craft, are now being ,delivered for the usq of the naval air service. They are the 'advance guard of a big Aeet1Whlch will be added to. the. forces engaged in submarine hunting'in the war zone. . . . . A second type •ot fighting plane for the American army known as “the Bristol model” also has now reached the production stage and a consid­ erable nuipber will become available during the present month. Still an­ other type; a two-seated machine, also is being manufactured. Construction details of these planes have never been published. It is known, however, that the seaplanes are substantially similar to the Brit­ ish flying boats and are equipped with two Liberty motors, which provide ap­ proximately 700 horsepower to drive the ship.. This is understood to b« much in excess of the power used in similar British craft and their per­ formance is expected to be propor­ tionately better. In this connection,, it. was learned that engineers of the aircraft board now have overcome the last minor defect of the Liberty motors, having to do with the lubricating system. A number of motors taken haphazard from- the quantity production supply have been operated -continuously for many hours without any trouble de­ veloping. Officials in close touch with prog­ ress being made on production of lighting planes in this country are still satisfied that the output will tax ship­ ping facilities before July, whpn de­ livery in quantities ,in France has been scheduled. Already a problem of caring for the planes on the other side is one to which General Pershing’s staff is giving serious thought. BOLSHEVIKI CREW^IS . . MENACE TO VESSEL Half a Hundred Bolsheviki . Cause Trouble at Norfolk. Norfolk, Va.—Bolshevlkism struck Norfolk in the shape of the crew of the Russian steamship Omsk and it raged with more or less .intensity from li'o’clock in the inorning in and out of federal offices back and forth from ship to shore until finally at a late hour, the whole crowd of malcontents, to,the.number of 49, were taken into custody by a force of,35 Norfolk po­ lice acting under the personal direction of Major Ford and marched from the steamer to police headquarters where they were locked up. The charges against the men,, which were embraced in warrants sworn out, at the request of Collector of the PoH Norman Hamilton, by Victor E. Gartz,. attorney for the 'Russian con­ sul general at New York are: "That they did unlawfully act in a mutinous manner, threatening offi­ cers and refusing to obey their orders, arm themselves ,with firearms and other dangerous weapons and engage In other riotous conduct on board the steamship Omsk, shouting bolsheviki control, principles as against organized authority on board the steamship Omsk and threatening to damage said ship,- thereby endangering the safety of the harbor and city property.” The raid by the police was the climax of .a day chock full of excite­ ment' and activity for the customs de­ partment, the immigration bureau, the department of justice and the United States district attorney’s office.

' Army in France, Washington, March. 12.—Eight hun­ dred thousand men are to be called to the colors gradually during the pres­ ent year under the second army draft, which begins Mafch 29. • An announcement by Provost Mar­ shal General Crowder of the number, was followed closely by an order* for the mobilization of 95,000 men during the five day period beginning March 29, some 15,000 of them to be assem­ bled under the second draft: Eighty thousand will be men of the first draft' of 687,000 not yet summoned into serv­ ice. - ' Details of how the second draft is to be applied will be made public later, after Congress has acted upon proposed legislation providing for the registration of youths attaining the age of 21 years and for basing state district quotas on the number’of reg­ istrants in Class I. In his first official Statement on the subject, however, General Crowder assures the country that no sweeping withdrawal of large numbers of men at one time is con­ templated, and that care will, be taken to avoid interferences with harvesting. 95,000 Needed at Once. The 95,000 men now called, it is understood, are needed at once to fill up divisions and other units scheduled for early departure or to take, the place of men transferred from other divisions to make up such deficiencies. Newly organized regular divisions, are particularly 'short of men and Heavy drafts on national army divisions to make these good have been necessary, seriously interfering with the'traihing work of the national army divisions drawn upon, 'fhe call for new men makes it probable that no further transfers will be’ necessary. "The 800,000 men to be summoned this year represent the number neces­ sary to fill up all existing divisions, to create all the’army corps and field army troops to fill out the war ma­ chine for which the framework al­ ready .exists, and to provide a quarter of a million' replacement troops. When they- have been mobilized, which will not be completed Iiefore the first of next year, there will be more than 40 full infantry divisions of 27,700 men each ^nd all- the ad'ditiona- al units necessary. No additional di­ visions of the national army or na­ tional guard will be credited this'year, although the program for the regular army, now composed of eight Infantry and one cavalry division, may be en­ larged. The purpose of the war department is to complete the first field army in France. Probably this will be com­ posed of five army corps of six infan­ try divisions each.. It has been esti­ mated that with that force and its necessary auxiliaries at his disposal. General Pershing would be able to hold a 100-mile sector of the battle front, relieving the strain upon French man power during 1918 to that ex­ tent: What that would mean to France may be judged from published statements of French officials that on •January I, 1918, the Belgian army held about 15 miles of the western front, the British forces about ,105 miles and the French about 350 miles.

MARKETS Republican Convention. Meets. Camouflage that a child ought to see through .is how Governor Bickett’s proposal for - a campainless political ' year in North Carolina was character­ ized by John Motley Morehead, of Charlotte, in a gathering of leading State Republicans here. The meeting was a joint session of Republican clubs from congressional districts, and something like 100 were present. One of the objects of the gathering was the selection of a date and place for the next State conven­ tion of the party. April 9 is the date chosen and Greensboro the place. . Senator Marion Butler was not pres­ ent, but had written a letter declar­ ing, 'Tt is the time to get the best men in authority.” Dr. Cy Thompson, of Onslow coun­ ty, who has expressed approval of Governor Bickett’s proposal for a non­ partisan year, was absent.' i Chairman Frank A. Linney was de­ tained by a murder trial, and A. E. Holton and Tom Settle failed to at­ tend. " Need for more Republican newspa­ pers was discussed. J. J. Jenkins fa­ vored the capitalizing of a thorough­ going Republican daily. I Report of Tobacco Sales, j .

Raleigh, stated that, to relieve the apparent scarcity of cottonseed meal for fertilizing purposes in North Caro­ lina, the state food administrator had arranged with foreign owners of about J 1OOO tons of loose 9!ab cake at Sa­ vannah for immediate sal to make this cake avaUable for use of the farmers. This cake must be ground, Qie mes­ sage stated, and converted into meal. "Therefore, we advise crushers, who are WiUing to purchase this loose cake, grind same and seU direct-to farmers ! at cost plus established- margin of I profit for such service, to immediately communicate to ue their requirements 1 and how rapidly they can make this material available for use of the pub­ lic,” the message declared.’ Three Million for Benevolence.

The climax to this campaign will be an every member canvass. The.con­ tributions of this church for benevo­ lence the present year will amount to approximately $2,000,000 and the In- crease of $1,000,000 for the coming vear has been urged.

Brinkley and Abe Ad­ ler, all of Plymouth. What to Do With Loafers. Mr. Plummer Stewart, the Mecklen­ burg county food administrator, has the right Idea about the way vagrants should be handled. Instead of picking them off the. streets, and after giving them a fine or a road sentence, let them roam at will, he would have all the men registered with the police de­ partment, and when there is a call for labor dispatch one, or as many as needed to the farm or to the factory, whichever the .case may be. Recentlj there has been several convictions in the leqorder’s court on this charge, but instead of keeping them in reserve for labor calls, they are allowed to go free, after paying their fines, on the promise to go to work. Rabid Doq Bite Children. The epidemic ot rabies among .the canine population of the city of Wil­ mington is assuming alarming propor­ tions, several children having been bitten by dogs, examination of the heads, showing beyond a doubt, that they were infected- -with rabies. Acting County Health Officer Slo­ cum has put it squarely up to the po­ lice, saying that failure to'enforce the ordinance requiring all unrestrained dogs to be muzzled was largely re­ sponsible for the present outbreak. There is an ordinance on the books requiring dogs ’to be muzzled during a certain period of the year and Dr. Slo- um says laxity on the part of the po­ lice has really made a joke of the law. Soybeans Becoming Popular. That soybeans are becoming in­ creasingly popular in North Carolina is the . opinion of Mr. C. B. Williams, chief, division of agronomy of the North Carolina Experiment 'station, who says that there will he a marked increase in the-acreage devoted to soybeans both in this state and throughout the South generally, this yea. Fdrtunately, however, the soy­ bean is a crop which not only Ipro- duces a large amount of food and feed- but also builds up the soil when han­ dled properly. It is a crop that fits in well to the rotation systems. That fanners are today receiving for their wheat 40 per cent of the money paid for the cash loaf, whereas last year they received less than 20 per-cent of the price of -the loaf is a recent announcement of the United State food administration. Elimina­ tion of hoarding and speculation to­ gether with stabilization of prices are responsible for the doubled share ol the retail price farmers are now re. ceivfng. Page Wants to Know Why.

As commencement ,drew near, and Fail? began planning momentous things for her graduation, a little soberness came into the. parsonage life. The girls were certainly grow­ ing op. Prudence had been married a long, long time. Fairy was being, grad­ uated from college, her school days were over, and life was just across the threshold—its big black door jnst slightly ajar waiting for her to press It back and catch a glimpse of what lay beyond. Even the twins were getting along.. They were finishing high school, and beginning to prate of college and such things, but the twins were still, well, they were growing up, perhaps, but they kept jubilantly young along In the process,, and their enthusiasm for diplomas and ice cream sodas was so nearly identical that one couldn’t fefel seriously that the twins were tagging at their leashes. And Connie was a freshman herself —rather tall, a little awkward, with a sober earnest face, and with an itfcon- grously humorous droop to the corners of her Ups, and In the sparkle.of her eyes. Mr. Starr looked at them and sighed. 'I tell you, Grace, it’s a thankless job, rearing a family. Connie told me to­ day that- my collars should have straight edges now instead of turned- back corners. And Lark reminded me that I got my points mixed np In last Sunday’s lesson. I'm getting sick of this family business, Fm abont ready to—” . And just then, as a dear “Father” came floating down the stairway, he turned his head alertly. “What do you want?’ “Everybody’s out,” - came Carol’s plaintive voice. “Will yon come and button me np. I can’t ask auntie to run clear up here, and I can’t come down because Tm in my stocking feet. My new slippers pinch so I don’t put them on until I have to. Oh, thanks, father, you’re a dear.” After the excitement of the com­ mencement, the commotion, the glam­ our, the gayety, ordinary parsonage life seemed smooth and pleasant, and for ten days there was not a ruffle on the surface of their domestic waters. It was on the tenth day that the twins, strolling down Main street, conversing earnestly together 'as was their cus­ tom, were accosted by a nicely Hound­ ed, pompons jnan with a cordial, “Hello, twins.”' * ' In an instant they were bright with smiles, for this was Mr. Balder, editor ■•and owner of the Daily News, the big­ gest and most popular of Mount Mark’s three daily papers. Looking forward, as they did, to a literary career for Lark, they never failed to show a touching and Tinnatural deference to ,anyone 'connected, even ever so re­ motely, with that profession. They did not resent his nicely rounded and therefore pointless jokes. They Siniied at them. They did not call the D iily News the “Raider Fam­ ily Orgati,” as they yearned to do. They did not admit that they urged their fa­ ther to put Mr. Raider on all church committees to insure publicity. They swallowed hard, and told themselves that, after all, Sir. Raider v. ar. an edi­ tor, and perhaps he couldn’t help edit­ ing his own family to the exclusion of the KSSt of Mount Mark. When, on this occasion, he looked Lark up and down with his usual ro­ tund complacency, Carol only gritted her teeth and reminded her heaving soul that he was an editor., “What are you going to do this sum- mur, Lark?” he asked, without pre­ amble. . “Why—just nothing, I suppose. As usuaL” “Well,” he sain, frowning plumply, “we’re running short of men. I’ve heard you’re interested in our line, and I thought maybe yon could help us out during vacation. How. about it? The work’ll be easy and KU be fine experi­ ence for you. We’ll pay you five dol­ lars a week. This is a little town, and we’re .called a Httls publication, but ojir work and our aim and methods are Identical with those of the big city pa­ pers.” He swelled visibly, almost alarmingly. “How about it? You’re the one with the Hterary longings, aren’t you?” -lark was utterly speechless. H the National bank bad opened Its coffers to the always hard-pressed twins, she could not have been more completely confounded. Carol was in a condition nearly as serious, -but .grasping the gravity of the situation, she rushed into the breach headlong. - “Tes—yes,” she gasped.’* “She’s lit­ erary. Oh, she’s very literary." Mr. Raider smiled. “Well, would yon like to try your hand out with me?” Again Carol sprang to her' sister’s relief. “Yes, indeed, she would,” she cried. “Yes, Indeed.” And then, determined to impress upon him that the Daily News was the one to profit chiefly from the innovation, she added, “And It’s a lucky dgy for the Daily News, too, I tell you. There aren’t many Larks In Mount Mark, In a literary way, I mean, and—the Dally News needs some—^that is, I think—new blood—anyhow, ][jark will be Just fine.” “All right. Come In, Monday morn­ ing at’ eight, Lark,‘ and I’ll set you to work. It won’t be anything very im­ portant. You can write up the church news, and parties, and goings away, and things like that. It’ll be good training. You can study our papers between now and then, to catch our style.” Carol lifted her head a Uttle higher. If Mt- Raider thought her talented twin would be confined to the ordinary style of the Daily News. whlch' Carol consid­ ered atrociously lacking In any style at all, he would be most gloriously mis­ taken, that’s certain I It Is a significant ,fact that after Mr. Raider went back into , the sanctum of the Daily 'News, the twins walked along for one full block without speak­ ing. Such a thing Iiad never hap­ pened before In all the years of their t^trinshlp. At the end of the block, (tarol tunied her head restlessly. They were eight blocks froitXjhome. But the twins couldn’t run on the street, It was so undignified. She looked longingly about for a buggy bound their way. Even a grocery cart would have been a welome though humbling conveyance. “Lark,” she said, “Tjn afraid we’U he late for dinner. 4-nd. auntie told us to hurry back. Maybe we’d better run.” Bunning Is 'a good expression for emotion, and Lark promptly struck out at a pace that did full credit to her lithe young Umbs. Down'the street they raced, little tendrils of hair flying abont their flashed and shining faces, faster, faster, breathless, panting, their gladness fairly overflowing. And many people turned to look, wondering what In the world possessed the leisurely, dignified parsonage twins.' 1 Aunt Grace sat up In her hammock to look, Fairy ran out to the porch, and Mr. Starr laid down his book. Had the long and dearly desired war been de­ clared at last? But when the twins reached the porch, they paused sheepishly, shyly. “.What’s the matter?” chorused the family. “Are—are we late for dinner?” Carol demanded earnestly, as though their lives depended on the answer.. The family stared In concerted amusement. When before this had. the twins shown anxiety about their late­ ness for meals—unless a favorite des­ sert or salad was all consumed in their absence. And it was only Jialf past four! Carol gently shoved Connie off the cushion upon which she had dropped, and arranged it tenderly in a chair. “Sit down and rest, Larkie,” she said in a soft, and loving voice. “Are you nearly, tired to death?” Lark sank, panting, into the chair, and gazed about‘the circle With bril­ liant eyes. “Get Jier a drink, can’t you, Con­ nie?” said Carol indignantly. “Can’t you see the poor thing IsJpst tired tc death? She ran the whole, way home I” “What in the world?” began their father curiously. “Had a sunstroke?” queried . Fairy, smiling. r ' • fTTou’re both crazy,” declared. Con­ nie, coming back with the water. “You’re frying to fool us. I.won’t ask any questions. Yon don’t catch me this time.” “Why don’t yon lie down and let Lark use you for a footstool, Carol?-” suggested their father, with twinkling eyes- , f“I would, If she wanted a footstool,” said Carol positively. 1Td. love to do It. rd be proud' to do It Td considor tt an honor;” Lark blushed and lowered her eyea modestly. , "What happened?” urged their fa* ther, still more curiously. i “!Md she get you>ont« of a scrape?” mocked Fairy. “TeU it, Lark.” Carol’s voice was so Intense that It Impressed even skep­ tical Connie and derisive Fairy. Lark raised the glowing, eyes once more, leaned forward, and said thrill- Ingly: “It’s the literary career.” The silence that followed, this bold announcement wits sufflctently dra­ matic £o satisfy even. Carol, and she patted Lark’s knee approvingly. “Well, go on,” urged Connie, at lest, when the twins continued silent. “That’s all.” ‘.‘She’s going to run the Dally News.” “Ob, Fll only be a cub reporter; I' guess that’s what you call them.” “Reporter nothing,” contradicted Carol. “There’s nothing Uterary abont that. You mnst take the whole paper In hand,' and color It up a bit. And for goodness’ sake, poUsh up Mr. Baidfer1S editorials. I could write editorials like his myself.” Fairy solemnly rose and crossed, the porch, and with a hand on Lark’s shoulder gave her a solemn shake. “Now, Lark Starr, yoii begin at the be­ ginning and teU us. Do yon think , we’re all wooden Indians? We can’t wait un­ til you make a newspaper out of the Dally News! We want to know. Talk.” Thus adjured, Lark did talk, and. the little story with many striking embel-, IIshments from Carol was given into the hearing of the family. “Five dollars a week,” echoed„Con- nie faintly. “Of course, I’U divide that with Carol,” was the generous offer. “No, I won’t have it. I haven’t any -Uterary brains, and I can’t take any Of your salary. Thanks, just the same.” Then she added.happUy: “But I know you’ll be very • generous when I need to borrow, and I do borrow pretty often, Larkie.” •=' For the rest of the'week Lark’s Ut- erary career was the one topic of con­ versation In the. Starr family. Lark’s dothes were put In the most immacu­ late condition, and her wardrobe great­ ly enriched by donations pressed upon her by her admiring sisters. Every evening the younger girls watched im­ patiently for the carrier of the Dally News, and then rushied to- meet him. i I She Sulked Grouchily Room. In 'the Dining The paper was read with avid Interest, criticized, commended. They all ad­ mitted that Lark would be an acquisi­ tion to the editorial force, Indeed, one sorely needed. During those days, Carol followed Lark about with a hungry devotion that would have been observed by her sister on a less momentous occasion. But ndw she was so full of the darUng career that she overlooked, the once most-darling Carol. On Monday morn­ ing, Carol did not remain upstairs with Lark as she donned her most business­ like dress for her initiation into the world of Uterature. Instead, she sulked grouchily in the dining room, and when Lark, radiant, star-eyed, danced-Into the room for the family’s approval, she almost glowered npon her. “Am I all right? Do I look literary? Oh, oh,” gurgled Lark, with music in her voice. Carol sniffed. “Oh, isn’t It a glorious morning?” sang Lark again. “Isn’t everything wonderful, father?” “Lark StaA,’’ cried Ciirol passionate­ ly, “I should think you’d be ashamed of yourself. It’s bad enough to turn your back on your—your lifelong twin, and raise barriers between us, but for you to be so wildly happy about, it is—per­ fectly wicked.” Lark wheeled about abruptly and stared .at her sister, ,the fire slowly dying out of her eyes. , “Why, Carol,”-she began slowly, in a low voice, without music. “Oh, ,that’s all right You needn’t Ixy to talk me over. A body’d think there was nothing in the world but ’ugly old newspapers. I don’t like ’em, anyhow: I think they’re downright ’nosey!"'And we’ll never be the same any'more, Larkie, and you’re the only twin,I’ve got, and—” Carol’s defiance ended In a poorly suppressed sob and a rush of tears. Lark threw’her gloves on the table. “I won’t go at all,” she said. “I won’t go a. step. If—if you think for a - minute, Carol, that any silly old career is golng^to be any dearer to me than yon are, and if we aren't going to be just as we’ve alwayiB been, I won’t go a . step.” Carol wiped her eyes. “Well,” she said VMy affectionately, “if you feel like that. It’s all right. yon 1O say y e n llkefl me SettCT Siaa anything else. Of cotme you must go, Lark. I reaUy take aU the credit far yon and your talent to myself, and it’s as much an honor for me as it is for yon, and I want you to go. Bnt don’t yon ever go to liking. Oie crazy old stories any better than yon do me.” Then she picked up Lark’s gloves, and the two went out with an arm around each other’s waist It was/a dreary morning for Carol, Trat none of her sisters knew that most' of It was spent In the closet of her room, sobbing bitterly. “It’s just the way of the world,” she mourned, In the tone of one who has lived many years and suffered untold anguish, "we spend our Uves bringing them up, and loving them, and finding aU our joy and hap- plness in them, and then they go, and we are left alone.” Lark’s- morning at the office was quiet, but none the less thrilling on that account. Mr. Raider received her cordially, and with a great deal, of unctuous fatherly advice. He took her into his office, which was om corner of the press room glassed In fc? Itself, and talked over her duties, WhUSr^ as far as ' LarK could gather from his discourse, appeared to consist in doib$ as she was told. Nipw, remember.” he said, In part, •"that running n wntspaper is busi- Pure business: We’ve got to give folks what they want to h«ar, and they want to hear everything that hap­ pens. Folks want to hear about the private affairs of other folks. .They pay us to find out and tell them, and it’s our duty to do it So don’t ever be squeamish about coming right out blunt with the plain factfe; that’s what we are paid for.” ThJs did not'seriously Impress Lark. Theoretically, she realized that he was rigljf. And he talked so Impressively of the. press, and its mission In the world, and its rights and its pride and its poorer, that Lark, looking away with hope-filled eyes, saw a high and mighty figure, immense, all-powerful, standing free, majestic, beckoning her to cobie. It was her first view of the world’s press. But .on the fourth-morning, when she entered the office, JTr- Raider met her. with more excitement In his manner than she. had ever seen before. As a rule, excitement does not sit well on nicely rounded, pink-skinned men. “Lark,” he began hurriedly, “do yon know the Dalys? On Elm street?” “Y es,. they are members of our church. ’ I know them.” • He leaned forward. “Big piece 01 jiews down that way. This morning at breakfast, Daly shot his daughter’ Maisie and the little boy. They are both dead. Daly got away, and we can’t get at the bottom of It The family Is shut off alone, and won’t see anyone.” * Lark’s face had gone white, and she clasped her slender hands together, swaying, quivering, bright Ughts be­ fore her eyes. - “Oh, oh!” she murmured brokenly. “Oh, how awful!” Mr. Raider did not observe the white horror in Lark’s face. “Yes, isn’t it?” he said. "I want you to go right down there.” “Yes, indeed,” said Lark, though She shivered at the thought “Of course, I will.” Lark was a minister’s daugh­ ter. If people were 1« trouble, she must go, of course, “isn’t it—awful? I never knew of—such & thing—before. Malsie was in my class at school. I never liked her very well. Tm so sorry I didn’t—oh, Tm so sorry. Yes, TH go right away. You’d better call papa np and teU him to. come, too.” “I will, but you run along. Being the minister’s daughter, they’ll let you right up. They’U tell you all about It of course. Don’t talk to anyone on th« way back. Come right to the office.” “Yes—yes.” Lark’s face was fright­ ened, but firm. “I—Tve never_ggne to the houses much when—there was trouble. Prudence and Fairy have al­ ways done that But of course it’ll right and I’m going. Oh, I do wish I had been fonder of Malsie. ru go right away.” And she hurried away, still quiver­ ing, a cold chill upon her. Three hourii later she returned, to the office, her eyes dark circled, and red with weep­ ing. Mr. Raider met-her at the door. “Did you see them?” “Yes,” she said In a low voice, "They —they took me upstairs, and—” She paused -pitifully, the memory strong upon her, for the woman, the mother of five children, two of whom had been struck down, had lain in Lark’s strong tender arms, and sobbed out the ugly story. - • A BREAKDOWN M ito K d ly T d I s H o w L y d ia E .

A t arecent hearing of the Federal Trade CJominission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company ,which showed that the Company had been con­ sidering for some time an educational advertising caLmpaigii. The rieed for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev­ eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which w e have recently been subjected has convinced Us that w e should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief Ihdt- the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are 1 adversely affected by the packers^ operations, ' resulting in unreasonably large profits. Sw ift & Company’s net profit is reasonable, and represente an insignificant factor , in the cost of living. , For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $ 8 7 5 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 . P ro fits ........................................... $ 3 4 ,6 5 0 ,0 0 0 . ■ T h is is eq uivalent to a $3,465. p ro fit o n a business o f $87,500.

Demoorais have signed a petition ' to President Wilson urgin&him. to intern for­ mer President Theodore Boosevelt “ as a public menace” because of his criticism of the. incapacity of the W ar Department. It is not surprising the Oklaho­ ma Democratic politicians want Colonel Boosevelt interned. 'They believe in interning all those who do not believe in standing by Dem­ ocratic politicians even in Violation of moral and statutory law and at the sacrifice of the public welfare. The Oklahoma Democracy has pas­ sed election and registration laws, and even adopted constitutional provisions, deliberately intended to defraud a ll! opposition parties and persons of a voice ’in govern­ ment. TheSuprem eG ourtot the United States has been called on to undo some state constitutional leg­ islation in violation of the princi­ ples of genuine democracy as guar­ anteed by the TJnited States cons­ titution. But the Oklahoma Dem­ ocrats have passed laws denying to opposition parties, representation on election boards. They have sidobted !the most extreme methods, of stifling not only minority rights, bat majority rule. Like the sec tioDal Democratic-, politicians in general they would- like not only to gag and disfranchise, Ijut jail all those who do not subm it to the dictation of the Democratic party machine. .' ’ i Interning Golonel . Roosevelt, however, would prove to be some job. The Colonel probably ; will be interned only when he is inter ned. Ris patriotism can not- be discredited by any gang of Okla­ homa Democratic stay at home politicians,-or by any gang of poli ticiana anywhere. He has font sons in the military Bervice of the countrv. and would be on the firing line in France himself, if the oppor­ tunity had not been denied him in the fear that his service abroad uiightgivehim political prestige. The demand that a man of Colonel Roosevelt's proven - patriotism be locked np for being more loyal to the men who are doing the fighting in this war than to those who are doing thetaiking; more loyal to his country than any bluudering office­ holder, will only serve-to warn the country that under the pretense df war necessity there ate politician's who would prevent the powers Of government itself to personal .

The Observer recently heard a Charlotte housekeeper, who was wondering what she would do with her accumulated and accumulating stock of corn meal, snggest that Mr. Hoover ought to send some of it to France. Well, Mr. Hoover is doing that very thing. Finan­ cial America calls him the Big Brother, and that is what he is proving to be. Mr. Hoover has arranged to send corn to the Allied countries at the rate of 500,000 to 750,000 bushels a day, or 180 mil lion to 270 million bushels a year, and that ought shortly to knock out the combination sales which some Americans profess to have dome to abominate, says the Char­ lotte Observer. The lady the Observer refers to is maliciously defeating the very object of the meal buying propo­ sition. It would seem that she was able to purchase flour as need­ ed and siniply stoie the meal she was forced to buy in order to evade the law. Lu this case the meal is simply being taken off the market and is not serving the purpose of red u' cing the consumption of flour in that home, but is being laid aside, as a child would eat the “ goodie” out of a pipce of ,pie and leave the crust. Some example of patriot­ ism, this. Our boys give their lives, stand crowded in . wet and muddy trenches, but we at home absolutely refuse to eat good corn bread or mush.

Whali is the trouble? Are ye bo incompetent in the man. agement of our a !fairs thataoy.un usual circumstance paralyzes our whole industrial system. Towns in 25 to 100 miles of the largest coal fields in the world, cannot be supplied with sufficient coal for domestic use—-there is something radically wrong—the miners say they are digging more coal. than ever, and is not their fault. ThePresident of the Pennsyl­ vania Railroad, told a committee once when he was charged with unlawfully raising the^ price of coal that it was not good business to handle 2,000,000 tons of coal for a certain amount of money when they could , get the eame amount of money for a million and a half tons. So the present circumstances might be answered by the coal men, that it is not- good business tp sell coal for §4 50 per ton when the people could be made to pay 18.00. more -RaiIroadsAnd Peremptory order Iiy Mr^UMcA- doo cancelling newspaper contracts and refusing to give newspapers any consideration Whateyeyi was not wise.

To add to the other burdens that war has tbrnst upon this peace IoviDg people and the “ late to bed and late to riBe” population is .the latest outrage put over on the peo­ ple by a bunch of Congressmen who have nothing to do before ten bells and then' only to run their “ gabbfer” boxes. Afier we have all pulled through the winter on the hopes of being able to take our morning snooze and not be required to get out of bed by paid-for light, then to have a bunch of congressmen pass a law moving the block bands forward one hour and practically making the.summer into winter.'so far as day-light is concerned in the morn ing, is LOthing short of taking away our personal privileges. It’s a good thing, so is a dose of salts, but it’s going to be a dose for some of the bed lovers to swal­ low. Of course if the el‘>ck says 7 a. m. then that won’t sound quite as bad as getting up at 6 a. m.

FRENCH CAPITAL BOWBffliED Main Body of British Falling Back Deliberately and Without Confusion —French Are Optimistic. London.—“Fresh hostile attacks de­ veloped have great strength on the whole battle front,” says Field Mar­ shal Hiag’s report from headquarters, ‘and they have continued throughout the day. ‘South of Peronne the enemy suc­ ceeded, after heavy fighting, in cross­ ing the Somme at certain points. These are being dealt with. Berlin (via London).—Paris has been bombarded by German long-dis­ tance guns, according to the German official communication. The statements add that the British in their retirement are burning French town and villages and that between th' Somme and the Oise the Germans are still going forward. Enormous quantities of booty have been taken by the Germans, according to the statement which follows: ‘Between the Somme and the Oise our corps are fighting their way for­ ward Chauny has been taken. ‘Our booty In war material is enor­ mous. The British, in their retire­ ment, are burning French towns and villages. ‘We have bombarded the fortress of Paris with long-distance guns. ‘A gigantic struggle is taking place for Bapaume. A battle is in progress on the Transloy-Combes-Maurepas line. '.'The Somme has been crossed at many points in our attack between Peronne and Ham.”I The withdrawal of the British forces along the battle front in France was long ago planned in the event of the Germans attacking in great force. This announcement comes from the British front through the Associated Press correspondent, who describes the op­ eration of the British army as a mas­ terly withdrawal, made possible by gallant shock troops in the front lines, who checked the advance of the Germans,' while artillery, machine gun and rifle fire worked appalling slaugh­ ter among the masses of German in­ fantry as they were sent forward', this enabling the main body of the British tu fall back deliberately and without confusion. This army., it is declared, has been conserved, and up to the present very few counter-attacks have been made against the Germans. Where the Brit­ ish have stormed the Germans’ newly acquired positions they have driven them back. But each mile of advance makes the bringing up of supplies to the German artillery and infantry more and more difficult, and unques­ tionably the British strategy, as dem­ onstrated since the beginning of the great attack, is to let the enemy, so far as he may, wear himself out against a powerful defense. ""Both British and French forces, where their lines meet south. of SL Quentin, are watchin events with op­ timistic eyes. I Paris.—The German "monster can­ non” which has 'been bombarding Paris has been located in the forest, of St. Gobain, west of Laon, and ex­ actly 122 kilometers (approximately 76 miles) from Paris city hall. The gun bombarded Paris during the great­ er part of Sunday. The day was ushered in by loud ex­ plosions from the 10-in’ch shells, and immediately the alarm to take cover was sounded. This occurred at 6:55 o’clock and many persons sought shelter, but greater numbers of them appeared in the streets on their way to the churches, which were almost as well-filled as usual. The women who sell palm leaves on Palm Sun­ days, did their usual business.

KAISEB IS ON THE SCENE About' 400,000 German Troops Engaged in the Fight—Try to Retake Part of Line Captured by Byng. London.—Sixteen thousand prisoners and 200 guns have been, captured by the Gerans, according to a German of­ ficial communication received by wire­ less. The text of the communication follows: “The successes in the fighting-'-be­ tween Arras and La Fere were extend­ ed In the continuation of- our attack. “Sixteen thousand prisoners and 200 guns have so far been reported cap­ tured. Before Verdun the artillery duel continued. From other theaters of the war there is nothing new to re­ port." - W ithstanding Ferocious: Onslaught. In a battle that has rivalled in fe­ rocity any that has preceded it dur­ ing three and a half years of warfare, the British, on a 50-mile front, hare withstood the great German offensive in its initial stages. At some points the British line has been bent back, but not as much as had been expected by military experts acquainted with the forces -the Germans had brought up and the power of the guns .they had upon and behind the line. As the result of the struggle on that part of the front just west of Cambrai, where the fighting was apparently-hot­ test, the British line has nowhere been broken and Field Marshal Haig's men have inflicted frightful casualties on the enemy. The first reports of infantry fighting were indicative of an attempt on the part of the Germans to drive wedges into both sides- of the Cambrai salient, isolate the British .troops farther cast and regain the Hindenburg line, from which they were driven on- Novem­ ber 22, 1917, by General Byng’s sud­ den blow. Subsequent dispatches have proved that this was, indeed, the plan of. the German general staff. The fighting on the rest of the 50 mile front was but a side issue to the ter­ rific ohslaught aimed at Gauche wood and Lagnicourt, the south and north' bases of the salient. BRITISH AIRCRAFT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART Kills and Wounds Many Germans With Machine Guns. London.—British aircraft during the fighting along the front in France aid­ ed materially the infantry forces be­ low, killing or wounding many Ger­ mans with the machine guns while fly­ ing at low altitudes, according to ? British official communication issued dealing with aviation. In addition British aircraft bombed important military positions behind the line and aviators accounted for numerous German airmen in battles in the air. The text of the communi­ cation follows: “The mist over the whole fronl cleared, but at most places the weath­ er was unsuitable for low-flying. The enemy’s attacking troops and rein­ forcements on the battle front offered excellent targets to the pilots of onr low flying machines, which poured many thousands of rounds into them causing innumerable - casualties. “Our bombing machines also at­ tacked these targets, In addition to bombing important railway stations on the battle front, over 100 bombs be­ ing dropped. "A great deal of fighting occurred at low altitudes, in which 16 hostile machines were downed and six driven down out of control. A hostile balloon w as. destroyed by one of our pilots. One of the enemy’s low-flying air­ planes was shot down in our ilnes by infantry. Three of our machines .are missing.” ' TURKISH WOMEN TO.

Blli I i H Bi BRITISH FRONT TERRIFFIC STORM OF ARTILLERY FIRE OVER FRONT OF. 50 . j MILES. AHACK ON AMFRIGfflS Bonar Law Says Attack Had Been Ex­ pected and Great Preparations Made to Meet It—French at Verdun Also Assaulted. Exactly 25 months after the Ger­ mans began the historic battle of Ver- un,' the thunder of their guns deepen­ ed into a tempest of fire along the British front in Northern FTance and they began what may be the greatest battle of the war, a struggle which may lead to results which will shape the destinies of millions of people over coming centuries. The'attack was made on a scale hitherto unknown during this war of major offensives. It was over a front of 50 miles. Official reports are very brief, .but correspondents at the scene tell of the terrific storm of artillery fire that burst over the lines held by Field Marshal Haig’s men. The bombardment began at 5 o'clock just before the early spring dawn was breaking over eastern France. Shells of large and small calibers were rain­ ed upon the lines held by the British for about five hours. Then German in­ fantry stormed out to make the first great assault. The Germans, favored by the wind, moved forward under cover of a pall of smoke which hid the assaulting columns. from the eyes of the British holding the front lines. Describing. the battle, Andrew Bo- nar Law informed the house of com­ mons that lightly held portions of the British line had been withdrawn, but said that there was no need for alarm on the part of the. country. The cor­ respondent at the British front re­ ports that an attack there had been expected and that great preparations had been made to meet it. The Ber­ lin official report says that the Ger­ mans have penetrated into some Brit­ ish positions. Nor were the German efforts con­ centrated on the front held by the Brit- .jjsh. The Germans assaulted - the French lines near the village of Ornes, to the northeast of Verdun, and claim to have penetrated a considerable dis­ tance. . Near Rheims, .too, the French ere subjected to an assault; but here the artillery fire bore the burden of the fighting. The attacks at Verdun and Rheims, however, may be considered for the time being as mere diversions to the principal attack, which has been loos­ ed against the British. They would serve to keep French forces at Verdun and Rheims from being transferred to the British sector, if that paTt of the battle line should show any signs of bending back. No. Report from United States Lines. Nothing has been reported as to attacks on the lines held by the Americans.' It had been expected that the Germans would make.an assault on the American-held trenches in the Lorraine and Toul sectors ,acting on the theory that troops which have not had experience in engagements ol the first degree might be found to yield easier than veterans. That such an attack may be launched, and with only slight artillery preparation, is within the possibilities. The activity on the -American sec­ tors during the past three weeks would indicate that the Germans have been concerned with the disposi­ tion of General Pershtng’s legions, their probable strength and the-loca­ tions of the batteries supporting the infantry holding the lines. The French official reports state that the Germans have been san­ guinarily repulsed in a number of en­ gagements, notably on the Verdun and Lorraine fronts!- GERMANY'S RELATIONS WITH HOLLAND ALTERED London. — Dispatches from The Hague report that a local new agency says that Germany considers her rela­ tions with Holland altered by the atti­ tude of the Dutch government toward the entente and the United States and publishes a report that the abandon­ ment by the Dutch government of the remaining restrictive clauses in its shipping loan terms would be regarded by Germany as cause far war.

O F all annual festivals among Christian nations, Eiaster seems to have made the most serious Impression, and the customs connected with its first cele­ brations to have lingered the longest. Europe, with Its many nations, and, therefore, many peoples, lias ever been the SeenetOf various ceremonies dis­ tinctly belonging to the separate coun­ tries, with the Latin church always in the lead In the matter of picturesque symbols and processions. The war last year and this will make a difference In some districts, but wherever there are a few gathered together In his name in the neighbor­ hood of mighty cathedrals still stand­ ing, or tiny kirks In the heart of the woods or along the sea, there will some feature of the story of the Atone­ ment be told In symbols. In Brittany, a southern province of France, which nestles dose to the Pyrenees, and in consequence perhaps takes on something of the colorful at­ mosphere of its neighbors, the Spanish provinces, many interesting customs are observed. It is a land of legends. On Easter morning at the Church of §t. Cronley, In the village of Finistere, Brittany, every man, woman and child of the vicinity is In attendance. The women and children are in their best frocks and snowiest caps, and the men are leading the cattle to the door of this church, which would do credit to a city of size. There the priest receives the men and animals, and while the women duster around, gravely listening, the cattle are blessed and the care of S t JJronley invoked in their behalf. This saint is a great favorite all over Brit­ tany; and, like so many traditions of the Bretons, his story is connected with many legends. He was hunted by wild men until death seemed near, when suddenly every pursuer was turned Into a stone, and so they stand today, one group forming a regular border along the road from Carnac to Kerlescant- WATCH FOR DAWN OF EASTER Thousands Gather on Mountain of Southern California to Take Part In Religious Ceremony. In one of the IoveMest spots In south­ ern California, rising above the green orange and lemon groves of the val­ ley, stands a bare and rugged moun­ tain peak. Crowning its highest point is a great wooden cross. Nearby on huge bowlders are swung two iron bells, gnd set in another high bowlder is a bronze tablet recording that this moun­ tain top is dedicated to Fra Junipero Serra, a sturdy old Spanish priest who, many years before California came into the Union, many years before the revo­ lution which created the Union, strode back and forth across the desert Chris­ tianizing and civilizing the Indians. But nowhere does his actual spirit seem to dwell as on this lonely moun­ tain. For every year, at the dawn' of Easter, people of the valley and of the entire state climb the mountain and take part in a religious ceremony which cannot be duplicated in the’ world. All night before the event the roads are filled with pilgrims—in motorcars, In carriages and wagons and on foot \ Greeting Dawn of Easter.

Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress.of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. “Damn the camps, we want the in­ land waterways completed; the port of Wilmington and Southport given full recognition, and the upper Cape Fear Improvements finished”—is the forceful English employed by Mayor James D. McNeill, of Fayetteville, in explaining the significance of the “greater North .Carolina meeting,” in Fayetteville. Somebody had inter­ preted the Fayetteville get-together meeting an opportunity to take can­ tonments, when the wide awake may­ or wrote Representative Godwin of the slanted version. “Relief and protection from the ruinous discrimination in rates that the railroads have so unjustly impos­ ed upon us in the past,” are the pic­ turesque terms used by Captain Mc­ Neill In hoping for a speedy "comple­ tion of the intra-coastal waterway sys­ tem, as it enters and passes through the great State of North Carolina. “We have been literally hewers of woods and drawers of water for the upbuilding of towns and cities of other States long enough, and this, my dear sir, is the logical time to raise such a fuss as to attract the attention of our lawmakers to our just demands.” Mayor McNeill states that seven hundred invitations have just been mailed to every mayor, city govern­ ment, chamber of commerce, business organizations and leading mills in the Stabe to attend this “greater North Carolina meeting.” Likewise their sup­ port is invited for the success of the movement for better freight rates, a juster recognition of transportation privileges for the business interests uf tne State “than we have hitherto had.1-’ "One of the great problems to be solved at this meeting is to improve and make more available the port of Wilmington and the inland port of Fayetteville, so as to enable the entire Wendel Farmer Sets Example. An example of what the Agricul­ tural Extension Service means by the term "safe farming” is typified on the farm of Mr. L. B. Knott, a tobacco planter of Wendell. Mr. Knojt has for several years been very successful in tobacco growing—so much so that sev­ eral of the leading farm journals have called attention to the methods used on his farm. But the secret of his continuous advancement is found in the fact that tobacco is only a means to an end. Several years ago Mr. Knott came to Wendell from Granville county, where he had grown up in that tobac­ co producing section. Figuring that the new bright tobacco section of east­ ern North Carolina would soon be a prosperous territory he located at Wendell and began farming, purchas­ ing approximately 160 acres of land on nothingtbut a determination to succeed- and some money loaned him by his uncle. Today Mr. Knott has one of the best equipped farms to be found in Wake county, lying as it does on the edge of Wendell within close dis­ tance to a ready market for all of his products. Winston Will Push Work. The Aycock Memorial Committee, charged with the duty of erecting a monument in the memory of North Carolina’s great educational Governor, met in the office of Governor Bickett and -placed upon Judge Francis D.

Prepare Now Against Worms- Heavy losses, death and unthrlft, re­ sult annually from stomach and other worms infesting young cattle six to eighteen-months of age and lambs. Now is the time to begin to apply the ounce of prevention to save the deaths and unthrift of next fall. Signs of the effects of internal para­ sites usually begin showing in August, increasing up to November, then usu­ ally disappearing in February and not observed until the following August, in cattle under two years of age. If one’s pasture is known to be grossly infested by having had cattle or sheep showing symptoms of worms last fall, double efforts should be made to avoid the recurrence of the same. Some infection of pastures and ani­ mals remain over from fall to spring, but the maximum of infection occurs iri-'late summer when symptoms of trouble are seen. Symptoms vary, depending upon the the kind and degree of infection, but there is usually shown unthrift in spite of good feeding, often diarrhea, but maybe constipation. The most char­ acteristic feature, however, is the bog­ gy swelling beneath the lower jaw, known as “poverty jaw.” be planted which is not suitable, to vegetable production. •. Another Swat at Booze. Henry A. Page, United States food administrator fo r. North Carolina, dropped a bomb into the camp of blockaders and those merchants and millers who have been supplying blockaders with food products. Mr. Page’s statement covering the matter was characteristically “short and sweet." Here it is: “To use food products, sugar, corn meal, molasses and the like In the manufacture of blockade whiskey, rum, etc., is clearly a wilful waste of food, jnd as such is punishable under the Lever act. It is also unlawful for merchants or millers, to sen tnese products to such persons or In such quantities as make it appear reason­ ably certain that they are to be used in the manufacture of illicit intoxi­ cants. The food administration for North Carolina gives notice that it will take prompt and drastic action when evidence can be secured that any merchant and miller has of­ fended.” Seed Shortage Is Acute. While it is not generally known, there is quite a shortage of all seeds for planting. This is particularly so with vegetable seed. Quite a number of people who have had no experience In planting and gardening are trying to use up all the seed they can to get a few vegetables started. Director B. W. Kilgore of the Agri­ cultural Extension Service of the State College and Department of Agriculture received a letter the other day from Washington asking him to please call It to the attention of every "would- be” gardener that no more seed should be bought than is actually required, because.if some people buy more than they need others will not be able to get what they actually need. This waste of seed is being done in several different ways. Many garden­ ers seem to think that a garden spot needs no sunshine, and are putting in good seed which germinates but never produces vegetables. - No land should Greenville Prepares for Summer. Greenville takes a long step forward and will be one of the cleanest, health­ iest towns in the State, according to a bulletin just issued by the State Board of Health, if she enforces the sanitary ordinances just enacted. Ac­ cording to this bulletin, ordinances have been pass.ed declaring insanitary closets, nuisances providing drainage against mosquitoes and screening of ioors, windows, of all groceries, res­ taurants and food shops. The sanitary closet ordinance not only declares insanitary closets to be nuisances and subject to a penalty of five dollars, but also distinctly speci­ fies that the only kind of a sanitary closet permitted will be a sewer con­ nection, a tank privy or a pit privy, the last two types to be such as to meet the approval of the State Board of Health.

In the everyday walks of life, it is the spring time that brings ill health. One of the chief reasons why the run-down man finds himself in a bad state of health in March or April, is because he has spent nearly all his hours for the past four or five months penned up within the walls of Iiopse. factory or office. It is the rea­ son for our diminished resistance—that is, lack of out-door life, coupled with perhaps over-eating, lack of’ good exer­cise, insufficient sleep, and constipation. In other words, we keep feeding the furnace with food but do not take out the "clinkers,” and our fire does not bum briehtiy. Always keep the liver active.There is nothing better for health than taking an occasional mild laxative, per­ haps once a week; such a one as you can get at any drug store, made up of May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated, tiny, easily taken), which has stood the test of fifty years of approval—naruclv, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. But for the "‘Spring Fever,” the general run-down’ condition, the lack of ambition, the ■•blues,” one should take a course of treatment every spring; such a standard tonic as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis­ covery, now to be had in tablet form in sixty-cent Vials. Watch the people go plodding along the street. There’s no spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such as this vegetable extract of Sr. Pierce’s gives you the power to force yourself into action. The brain responds to the new blood In circulation, and'thus you’re ready to make a fight against stagnation which holds you In bondage. Try it now! Don’t wait I Today is the day to begin. Gain a little "pep," and laugh and live. Vmv and vitality are the natural out-pouring of a healthy body. Xt does not spring up. in a night. Try this spring tonic, sina you gain the courage that comes with good health. A Welshman’s Prayer. A simple-minded man in a Welsh coal valley is a character in his way. He always insists on taking his turn In the devotional services of his chapel. His prayer the other night was some­ thing like this: “Almighty God, thou bast heard about that old kaiser. I read in the paper that his throat Is bad, and that he has difficulty in breathing. Well, Lord, thou knowest bow far to go.”—Cardiff Western Mail. The mountain we climb often wor­ ries us less than the grains of sand in our shoes. SfreiigiSi O av e O ai ffirs. Schmitt Was HiseiabIe Froin Kidney Trouble Until Doan’s Came to Her Assistance.

They told me.” “Come on into my office,” he said. “You must write it up while it is fresh In your mind. You’ll do it better while the feeling is on you.” Lark gazed at him stupidly, not com­ prehending. "Write it up?” she repeated confus­ edly. “Yes, for the paper. How they looked, what they said, how it happened— everything. We want to scoop on it.” “But I don’t think they—would want it told,” Lark gasped. “Oh probably not, but people want to know about it. Don’t you remember what I told you? The press is a pow­ erful taskmaster. He asks hard duties of us, but we must obey. We’ve got to give the people what they want. There’s a reporter down from Burling­ ton already, but he couldn’t get any­ thing out of them. We’ve got a clear scoop on it.” Lark glanced fearfully over her shoulder. A huge menacing shadow lowered black behind her. The press I She shuddered again. “I can’t write it up,” she faltered. “Mrs. Daly—she— Oh, I held her in my arms, Mr. Raider, and kissed her, and we cried all morning, and I can’t write it up. I—I am the minister’s daughter, you know. I can’t ” “Nonsense, now, Lark,” he said, “be sensible. You needn’t give all the sob part mi touch it up for you. Just write out what you saw, and what they said, and Fll do the rest. Bun along now. Be sensible.” Lark glanced over her shoulder again. The press seemed tremendous­ ly big, leering.at her, threatening her. Lark gasped, sobbingly. Then she sat down at Mr. BaideFs resk, and drew a pad of paper toward her. For five minutes she sat immov­ able, body tense, face stemj breathless, rigid. Mr. Baider after one curious, satisfied glance, slipped out and closed the door softly after him. He felt he could trust to the newspaper Instinct to get that story out of her. Finally Lark, despairingly, clutched a pencil and wrote: ___ Terrible Tragedy of the Early” Morning. Daly Family Crushed With Sorrow. Her mind passed rapidly back over the story she had heard, the father’s occasional wild bursts of temper, the pitiful efforts of the family to keep his weakness hidden, the insignificant al­ tercation at the breakfast table, the cry of the startled baby, and then the sudden ungovernable fury that lashed For Five Minutes She Sat Immovable, Body Tense, Face Stern. him, the two children— I Lark shud­ dered I She glanced over her shoulder again. The fearful dark shadow was very close, very terrible, ready to en­ velop her In its smothering depths. She sprang to her feet and rushed out of the office. Mr. Baider was in the doorway. She flung herself upon him, crushing the paper in his hand. ’T can’t,” she cried, looking in terror over her shoulder as she spoke, “I can’t. I don’t want to be a newspaper woman. I don’t want any literary career. I am a minister’s daughter, Mr. Haider, I can’t talk about people’s troubles. I want to go home.” Mr. Balder looked searchingly into the white face, and noted the fright­ ened eyes. “There, now.” he said sooth* ingly, “never mind the Daly story. I’ll cover it myself. I guess it was too hard an assignment to begin with, and you a friend of the family and all. Let it go. You stay at home this after-, noon. Come back tomorrow and Fll start you again. Maybe I was too hard on you today.” “I don’t want to,” she cried, looking back at the shadow, which seemed somehow to have receded a little. 1T don’t want to be a newspaper woman. I think I’ll be the other kind of writer —not newspapers, you know, just plain writing. I’m sure I shall like It better. I wasn’t cut out for this line, I know. I want to go now.” “Bun along,” he said. “TO see you later on. You go to bed. You’re near­ ly sick.” Dignity? Lark did not remember that she had ever dreamed of dignity. She just started for home, for her fa­ ther, Aunt Grace and the girls! The shabby old parsonage seemed sudden­ ly very bright, very sunny, very safe. The dreadful dark shadow was not pressing so close to her shoulders, did not feel so smotheringly near. A startled group sprang up from the porch to greet her. She flung one arm around Carol’s shoulder, and drew her twin with her dose to her aunt’s side, “I don’t want to be a newspaper wom­ an,” she cried, in a high excited voice. “I don’t like it. I am awfully afraid of—The Press—” She looked over her shoulder. The shadow was fading away In the distance. “I couldn’t do it. I—” And then, crouching, with Carol, close against her aunt's side, clutching one of the soft hands in her own, she told the story. “I couldn’t, Fairy,” she declared, looking beseechingly into the strong kind face of her sister. “I— couldn’t. Mrs. Daly—sobbed so, and her hands were so brown and hard, Fairy, she kept rubbing my shoulder, and saying, ‘Oh, Lark, oh, Lark, my little children.’ I couldn’t; I don’t like newspapers, Fairy. Beally, I don’t.” Fairy looked greatly troubled. “I wish father were at home,” she said very quietly. “Mr. Balder meant all right, of course, but it was wrong to send a young girl like you. Father is there now. It’s very terrible. You did just exactly right, Larkie. Father will say so. I guess maybe it’s not the job for a minister’s girl. Of course, the story will come out, but we’re not the ones to tell it.v “But—the career,” suggested Carol. “AYliy,” said Lark, 'TH wait a little and then have a real career, you know, stories, and books, and poems, the kind that don’t harrow people’s feelings. I really don’t think it is right. Don’t you remember Prudence says the parson­ age is a place to hide sorrows, not to hang them on the clothesline for every one to see.V She looked for a last time over her shoulder. Dimly she saw a small dark cloud—all that was left of the shadow which had seemed so eager to devour her. Her arms'clasped Carol with renewed intensity. “Oh,” she breathed, “oh, isn’t -the parsonage lovely, Carol? I wish father would come. You all look so sweet, and kind, and—oh, I love to be at home.” CHAFTER Vlll.. A Clear Call. The tinkle of the telephone disturbed the family as they were at dinner, and Connie, who sat nearest, rose to an­ swer the summons, while Carol, at her corner of the table struck a tragic at­ titude. “BE Joe Graves has broken anything, he’s broken our friendship for good and all. These fellows that break them­ selves—" : “Break themselves?” asked her fa­ ther gravely. ■ “Yes—any of his members, you know, his leg, or his arm, or*— If he has, I must say frankly that I hope it is his neck. These boys that break themselves at the last minute, thereby breaking dates, are—” “Well,” Connie said calmly, “if you’re through, EU begin.” “Oh, goodness, Connie, deafen one ear and listen with the other. You’ve got to learn to hear In a hubbub. Go on then, Fm through. But I haven’t forgotten that I missed the Thanksgiv­ ing banquet last year because Phil broke his ankle that very afternoon on the ice. What business had he on the ice when he had a date—” ^ “Beady?” asked Connie, as the phone rang again, insistently; “Go on, then. Don’t wait until I get started.. Answer it.” Connie removed the receiv Sr and called the customary “HeUo.” Then, "Yes, just a minute. It’s for you, Carol.” Carol rose darkly. “It’s Joe,” she said in a dungeon-dark voice. “He’s broken, I foresee it. If there’s any­ thing I despise and abominate it’s a breaker of dates. Men have no busi­ ness being broken, except thetr hearts, when girls are mixed up in it —Hello? —Oh; oh-h-h! Yes—it’s professor! How are you?—Yes, indeed—oh, yes, Fm going to be home. Yes, indeed. Come about eight. Of course Tll be here—nothing important—it didn’t amount to anything at all—just a little old everyday affair.—Yes, I can ar­ range it nicely.—We’re so anxious to see you—AU right—Good-by.” She turned back to the table, her face flushed, eyes shining. “It’s pro­ fessor! He’s in town Just overnight, and he’s coming out. TO have to phone Joe—” “Anything I despise and abominate it’s a breaker of dates,” chanted Con­ nie. , “Oh’s that’s different,” - explained Carol. “This Is professor! Besides, this will sort of even up for the Thanksgiving banquet last year.” “But that was Phil and this is Joe I” ‘.‘Oh. that’s all fight. It’s just the principle, you know, nothing personal about it.” She-stood thoughtfully beside the table, he? brows puckered unbecom­ ingly. “I think,” she snld at last slowly,' with wary eyes on her father’s quiet face, “I think I’ll let the tuck put of my old rose dress. It’s too short.” “Too short! Why, Carol—” Inter­ rupted her aunt. “Too short for the occasion, I mean. I’ll put it back tomorrow.” Once more her eyes turned cautiously fatl(erward. “You see, professor still has the Httle twlnnie’ Idea in his brain, and Fm go­ ing to get it out. .It isn’t consistent with our five feet seven. We're grown up. Professor has got to see it. You skoot upstairs, Connie, won’t you, there's a dear, and bring it down, both of them. Lark's too. Lark—where did you put that ripping knife? Aunt Grace, will you put the iron on for me? It’s perfectly right that rrofessor should see we’re growing up. Wt’ll have to emphasize it something extra, or he might overlook it. It makes him feel Mathuselish because he’s so awfully smart, But I’ll soon change his mind for him.” In less than two minutes the whole family was engaged in growing Carol up for the occasion. They didn’t see any sense In It, but Carol seemed so unalterably convinced that it was nec­ essary that they hated to question her motives. If her idea had been utterly to dum- found the unsuspecting professor, she succeeded admirably. Carefully she planned her appearance, giving- him Just the proper interval of patient wait­ ing in the presence of her aunt and sisters. Then, a slow parting of the cnrtains and Carol stood out, brightly, gladly, her slender hands held out in welcome, Carol, with long skirts swish­ ing around her white-slippered feet, her slender throat rising cream-white above the soft fold of old rose lace, her graceful head with ils royal crown of bronze-gold hair, tilled most charm­ ingly. ■ The professor sprang to his feet and stared.at her. “Why, Carol,” he ex­ claimed soberly, almost sadly, as he crossed the room and took her hand. “Why, Carol! Whatever have you been doing to yourself overnight?” Of course, It was far more “over­ night” than the professor knew, but Carol saw to It that there was nothing to arouse his suspicion on that score, He lifted her hand high, and looked frankly down the long lines of her skirt, with the white toes of her slip­ pers showing beneath. He shook his head. And though he smiled again, his voice was sober. “Fm beginning to feel my age,” he said. This was not what Carol wanted, and she resumed her old childish manner with a gleeful laugh. “What on earth are you doing In Mount Mark again, P’fessor!’’ When Carol wislibd to be particularly coy, she said “p'fessor.” It didn’t sound ex­ actly cultured, but spoken in Carol’s voice was really irresistible. “Why, I came to see you before your hair turned gray, and wrinkles marred you—” “Wrinkles won’t mar mine,” cried Carol emphatically. “Not ever! I use up a whole jar of cold cream every three weeks! I won’t have ’em. Wrin­ kles! P’fessor, you don’t know what a time I.have keeping myself young.” She joined in the peal of laughter that rang out as this age-wise state­ ment fell from her lips. “You’ll b e. surprised,” he said, “what does bring me to Mount Mark. I have given up my* position in New York, and am going to school again in Chicago this winter. I shall be here only tonight. Tomorrow I begin to study again. I am changing my line of work. The fnet is, Fm going to enter the min­ istry myself, and will have a couple of yenrs In a theological seminary first. Utter stupefaction greeted this ex­ planation. Not one word was spoken. „ lTve been going into these things rather deeply the last two years. For a year Fve felt it would fihttiiy come to this, but I preferred my awn job, and I thought I would stick it out, as Carol says. But Fve decided to quit balking, and answer the call.” Aunt Grace nodded, with a warmly approving smile. “But, professor,” said, Carol faintly and falterlngly, “didn't you fell me you were to get five thousand dollars a year with the institute from this on?” “Yes. I was.” Carol gazed at her family despairing ly. 'Tt would take an awfully loud cali to draws- the Chink of five thou­ sand gold dollars In my ears, I am afraid.” “It was a loud call,” he said. And he looked at her curiously, for of all the family she alone seemed distrait and unenthuslastic. . “But, professor,” sae argued, “can't people do good without preachfng?

But haven’t I got to answer the call?” “Tell us all about it,” said Fairy ear- dially. “We are so interested in it. OS course, we think it is the finest work- in the world.” She looked reproachful­ ly at Carol, but Carol made no res- sponse. He told them, then, something of his plan, which was very simple. He hail arranged for a special course at the seminary in Chicago, and then would enter the ministry like any other young man starting upon his lifework. ‘Tm a Presbyterian, you know,” hei said. “I’ll have to go around and preach un­ til I find a church willing to put' up with me. I won’t have a presiding elder to make a niche for me.” He talked frankly, even with en­ thusiasm, but always he felt the curi­ ous disappointment that Carol Sai there silent, her eyes upon the handd In her lap. Once or twice she lifted them swiftly to his face, and lowered them instantly again. Only he noticed when they were raised, that they wero unusually deep*, and that something lay within shining brightly, like the reflee tion of ,a star in a clear dark pool of water. ’ “I must go now,” he said, “I must have a little visit with my uncle, I just wanted to see you, and tell yon about it I knew you would like !ti” Carol’s' hand was the first placed In his, hnd she murmured an inaudible, word of farewell, her eyes downcast, and turned quickly away. “Don’t let them wait for me,” she whispered to Lark, and then she disappeared. The professor turned' away from the hospitable door very much depressed. He shook his head impatiently and thrust his hands deep into his pockets like a troubled boy. Half-way down the board walk he stopped, and smiled. Carol was .standing among the rose bushes, tall and slim In the cloudy moonlight, waiting for him. She held out her hand with a friendly smile. ‘T came to take you a piece, if you want me,” she‘said. “It’s so hard to talk when there’s a roomful, isn’t It? I thought maybe you wouldn’t mind.” “Mind? It was dear of you to. think of it,” he said gratefully, drawing her hand into the curve of his arm. “I was wishing I could talk with you alone. You won’t be cold?” In this case the course of true love seems destined to run smoothly.

Eostre and Eastre—skil­ fully managed to give the ceremonies another turn, proclaiming that the sea­ son celebrated the rising of Christ from the dead. Gradually, as the new re­ ligion gained ground, the old heathen superstitions died out The goddess Eastre was no longer revered, but her name was retained to designate what had now become the festival of the Resurrection.

Mr. SLmpkIns gazed at the portrait on • the. wall till his eyes filled with' tears. It was a portrait of his father, Qqlonel SlmpklnsJ who had four times been promoted for valor during the. Ctvll:War and had died bravely on the field o r action. Mr. Simpkins’ throat ached now for two reasons: First, he revereneediand -adored the memory of his father;'secondly, his age and his eyes and his game leg wouldn’t let him SO to'war himself. And ashe observed tiie martial bearing and uncompromis­ ing gaze of Colonel Simpkins he saw, in imagination,' the khaki-clad lads of the new generation .marching ,forth and - crossing three thousand miles of .sea to fight, maybe' die, for liberty. Mr. Simpkins peered around to.make Bure -that neither Bess nor John- (who were at;, the teasing ages of sixteen and seventeen) were where they could see him," then he straightened and threw y s' right arm up. for a salute Buthis gouts shoulder twinged, and he groaned? He couldn’t even salute. “Damn!” said Mr. Simpkins, and with Ijis other-hand fiercely twirled his white mustachios. ’ He'rijrned'.and limped into the li­ brary awd'sat down creakily before the mahogany desk on which were lying the blanks for his income tax state: meat,’ blanks which he had rather grumpily got from the Internal Reve­ nue officer, only- that day after lunch­ eon on his way home from the'club. -rMr. Simpkins’ Income for 1917 had amounted ;to Just about $15,000, and he had-; been rather snappy on the sub­ ject' of "taxes .ever since he had discov­ ered that the more income a man has the greater the percentage of it he pays in’- taxes/. He could think of- sev- ' eral men who,; like himself, were mar­ ried and bad two children, arid yet, although their Incomes were nearly half of his, they would pay only a small fraction of the amount he paid. He' 1 gloomily drew the blank nearer and; began filling In the information ttiat it.asked for. '•As Mr. Simpkins’’Income was $15,000 lie had to flgure out the amounts pay­ able off each of the; successive smaller classes of Incomes .in order to arrive af the total due from himself. He Jmssed 'over the first class who must pay taxes, that is, single men making over 1,000. His calculation for, mar­ ried men then showed up as follows First, they pay 2 per cent (under the 1916 law) ■: on all Income over ?£,000, deducting $200 for each of their children under eighteen years. In Mr. Simpkins’ case this was $212 , which he put down in the “payable” column. He iSaw next that, under the 1917 law, married men pay an additional 2 per cent, on all.over $2,000—with the same allowance for -children. This added' $252\fo his “payable” column. . He then .observed that for every $2,500 jump 'In his income over $5,000 , he had io pay a Surtax, the percentage growing larger with each jump. This was $250 HKire added to his burden., And on top- <4 all this came an “Ex­ cess Profits” tax of 8 per cent. on.all “occupation" Income over $6,000, mak­ ing $720. more. The total, then, he must pay was four- . teen hundred, and thirty-four dollars. “Whew!” exclaimed Mt. Simpkins angrily.!..“There’s young Henry Wil­ kins, Vhor married Jake Johnson’s girl* » he makes §2,000 and he doesn't pay a cent of taxes. I guess this is his wat as Welli aV mlne I” ljThinkfng of young Henry Wilkins, be remeiiSbered:that Mrs.: Wllkiris went every,’afternoon to, make'bandages for -the -Bted Cross and that Henry, who ' was !a lawyer, was aiding the Local Draft.Board with Its questionnaires. “Weil,” he . admitted to hijmself, ■fihaf" makes.” difference.” v**He Jthqught next of Judge Willough­ by,. whose income was about $3 ,000. ; . ;“He only piys $20,” eommfented Mr. Simpkins, not quite so angrily this tiine r and then a thought struck him a i‘d; he sat. up rigidly. In his, chair. 5J ;Judge Willoughby’s son' had been idrowAedion the Tuscanla -ivhen it was stibiharined with-the loss:'of two hun- Nfred solders. 'i r “3 u0ge .Willoughby gafe his son to - America,” muttered Mr. ,Simpkins. ' ^' He leaned forward suddenly and put hls faiie In'his hands, -j For., a'long time Mr* Sliinpkins sat ;very sjttll to-that position. There was lio sound-in the llbqary except the ticking of• the* tall dock and an occa- sl<ini trill of laughter from the chil­dren-skylarking upstairs.

Jfcv Simpkins was-.thinkSng things which, he wj>uld never afterward speak of,- he was-', thinking things ,’that were too sacred ever to be put into words. But some inkling of his thoughts may be fojund in * his rejoinder to Mrs. -Simpkrns when that placid lady came sIpi and? turned on the lights, and asked him whether'he; was reiady for dinner. ' “Judge Willoughby’s, only son tfas worths as much'as fourteen hundred and‘jfMrty-four dollars, wasn’t lie?” "Mr. _ Spbipklns demanded of her. , t; A's ^ wife, who >was not. unused to IUs siifcr^cial Irritations, watched him Mr. !Simpkins to the hall and) took his .old ifelt, hat and . sllver-heaided canei ,frpm the.^at rack.

Raleigh.—"The world-wide food sit­ uation and their own individual inter­ ests demand that the fanners'of North Carolina plant during the approaching season the largest acreage of corn and other food or feed crops In the history of the State and that they give •such crops the best possible cultivation and the heaviest possible fertiliza­ tion,” declared State Food Adminis­ trator Henry A. Page In an interview with newspaper men today., ‘‘The coming wheat crop will supply not more than half tile normal needs of the'world, which must continue to be largely supplied by this country until the end of the war and for a con­ siderable period beyond. Thia means that the demand for corn and other grains for human consumption will be more than double during 1919. Must Raise Own Requirements. “The transportation situation Ib such that our fanners have;no assur­ ance of being able to secure any food or feed stuffs from any other section of the country next Fall and there­ after and if they do not produce suffi­ cient food and feed crops, for ’ this section our people in all probability wlU have to do without. A large pro­ duction of cotton is desirable and necessary and no particular reduction In the acreage of tobacco is being urg­ ed, but any farmer will be foolish to plarit either ,tobacco or ,cotton to the exclusion pf sufficient food and feed­ stuffs to run his own establishment and to provide his part of the surplus that will be required by the markets In. our citieB, towns and Industrial communities. “Pew people have the imagination to conceive of the actual .want and Buffering which was prevented in “our State by the increasead cultivation of gardens and truck patches and In­ creased production of staple food and feed crops last year. We are import­ ing this fiscal year a comparatively small proportion of the thousands o- carloads of canned goods and other food and feed products that we nor­ mally Imported during past “years. If we had not produced the stuff ' at home we would be going without at. this time. We shall be able'to secure even smaller imports of food and feed stuffs during the coming year. 'Every acre of wheat in North Carolina which haB not already been Heavily fertilized should be top-dress­ ed with -stable manure, wood mold and leaves . or with commercial fer­ tilizer. Every acre of food and feed stuffs should be manured or fertilized more heavily than has been custom­ ary in the past. Farmers Upon THeIr Mettle. 'Our farmers are upon their mettle! More depends upon them than upon any other class of people with the ex­ ception of the soldiers in the -ranks themselves.
