ORDERS TO ARREST 100 - KTRIOTS GOVERNOR BICKETT ORDERS SHERIFFS TO ARREST THOSE WHO DODGED LAW. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH XJ . iJ . u ? Doingi and HappjplJlSf* That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Governor T. W. Blckett ordered sheriffs of the various counties of the state to arrest every person whose doty It was to register under the selec tive draft plan and who tailed to do It. Men thus arrested will be released up as their own recognizance, If they promptly register. Governors Order. fc. The War Department orders the ar rest of every man whose duty it was to register and failed t6 do It. Please make a searching Investigation In every precinct In your county, and If a single man failed to register accord ing to law, report the ?ame to the Dearest United States Attorney or Marshal, and the deliquent will be ar restedat once. North Carolina regis tered more men than the government estimated it would, according to pur population. This fine fact makes it all the more Important to require all de linquents to be registered. When ninety-nine men voluntarily do their duty. It is the essence of Justice to the ninety-nine to compel the hun dredth man to do his. The quota from North Carolina will be based on the original estimate of the government, and not on our actual registration. Therefore every additional man regis tered reduces the propotrlon of the whole that will be first selected for Mrrlce. T.' W. BICKETT, Governor ' ! _____ Young Pleased With Vl?|t Commissioner of Insurance James R. Young says he was gratified with the results of his visit to Charlotte In the Interest of safer school houses, Sliding the school committee especial ly willing to oo-operate la every way poealble. The committee, he says, not only agreed readily to adopt the dosble tower outside stairway system I or ui new scnooi Duiiaings 10 oe ?rected, but also determined to remod el all the present buildings to make them conform to this recognized "safety first" system of fire escapes. Commission Has Knotty Problems. ? THe state building commission, which has ill hand the supervision of the expenditure of the three million Mian the next fire years for perma nent improvements at the various state Institutions, Is moving slow In ?i work trying to make sure It is right before definite and fixed plans for any of the more Important build ing operations are launched. The . commission now recessed is casting ' about in search of the beat general ' *? plan upon which to proceed. There le an especially knotty prnb-? ism aa to tihe building .for the state ?chool for die blind, tn which is in volved the erection of a complete, npw | system of buildings. Indications are Oat the outcome of the Investiga tion wiN bring about the adoption of | a system that will provide the central kitchen and dining room system. Number? of the plans that have | keen submitted for buildings by the trustees of various institutions, lnclud- i tag the University of North Carolina, \ State Normal, Bast Carolina Training school, have been submitted to the state department of Insurance for se curity as to fire protection and gen eral safety appliances.

Oomktorabls Interest is being mani fested throughout tha atate In tke imvmmt started bjr the North C*ro Una Food (\>n?ervaiion Commission, looking toward the establishment of adequate and fair markets for staple food and feed products. According to reports reaching the office of the eom misslon. . Many of the leading business men of tke state. In addition to the farmers themselres. are beginning to realise that fair markets are a jeceaaary ko ala for any prosperity that Is bul't upon the production of crops other i than cotton and tobacco. In a number ' of cities the chambers of commerc* or boards of trade hare already begun ' working upon this problems of mar- : kets, while hi other place* business . men are Interesting themselves indi vidually. "No llna of buslnesa offers better op portunities for goo<J profits today, In my opinion, than does the handling of corn, small grain arid other farm pro ducts," declared John Paul Lucas, j executive secretary of the North Caro lina Food Conservation OoqamlBSkm. "Our business men must realise, how ever. that fair prices are the first es sential of such markets as are need ed. and that any market which bids ; for permanent success must offer fair 1 prices. Suitable warehouses and equipment fo* handling and storing pnoduots are other essentials." Realizing that the farmers them selves can co-operate effectively in the j establishment of these markets. Sec retary Lucas has addressed a letter to* all of the FarmersMJnions in the State urging upon them the advantage and necessity of riving this matter their careful consideration and of - rt>3oper-' siting with the business men In their trade centers In tiie establishment of these markets. Want Safe School Buildings. Dr. J. Y. Joyner, state superintend ent of public Instruction, and James R. Young, commissioner of Insurance, are calling on architects of the state to enter in competition for plans and specifications of school building of adequate safety as to fire that will contain four rooms without auditorium, but with provision for turning two or. more Into auditorium; four rooms and auditorium, six rooms and auditor ium and eight rooms and auditorium. The purpose is to buy the plans and ' speciflcfiations outright. Plant All Stubble Land*. An even greater increase In the food and feed crops In North Carolina is going to result from the planting of grain land In second crops than from the additional acreage In the spring planting Is the opinion of the State Food Conservation Commission, which has begun a vigorous campaign to in crease the cultivated acreage of these stubble lands, (f all of the small grain land could be cultivated in a second crop, the yield would be tremendous ?in terms of corn, something like 20. 000,000 bushels; in terms of forage, 1,260,000 tons. The whole situation Is Interestingly and succinctly summed up In a letter which the Commission has Just addressed to the Pood Con servation Commission In the 100 coun ties of the state. In this letter Ex ecutive Secretary John Paul Lucaa says: We have presented to us In the Im mediate future our greatest oppor tunity for increasing our acreage of food and feed crops. North Carolina has this year approximately 1,000,000 acres in wheat, oats, and other small grain. All of this land will be avail able tor a second food or feed Crop. In years past, according to the best Information I am able to obtain, some thing like 75 per cent of this land has remained In stubble until the follow ing fall or spring. In some counties little stubble Is allowed to lemaln; in others almost all of it is left idle. ; The Bame percentage would give us this year about 750,000 acres of tillable \ land, most of it in fine shape to be put j into another crop, lying idle In a time ! of stress?and in a time of oppor-' tunity. The harvesting season for small j grains is here. Land that can be put In shape at once can very easily grow ' and mature a crop of corn, which will j mature anywhere In the stpte when planted by June 15th. In some sec tions It will mature when planted even later. Soy beans and sweet potatoes I can be planted any time during this month. Cowpeas. soybeans and sor ghum for forage and Irish potatooe can be planted up to July 16 and* 20th. In the mountain sections buckwheat is an excellent catch crop and should be planted generally. With all of tha?e excellent crops available for plate planting we have a wuiiuenui uppui mini/ ueniie ua. iu i many counties we are handicapped be cause of the lack of labor and limited by the capacity of our livestock, but we must overcome these obstacles to as great an extent as possible. In many Instances land can be put Into acceptable shape by cross or double discing instead of breaking, thus per mitting of an economy of labor both of man and beast. Soy beans should be planted In rows, one bushel being sufficient to plant three acre*. Cowpeas may be more economically planted fn rows, either by themselves, or if planted for-for?ge, mixed with sorghum. Half a bushel of peas or the mixture will be most ample for an acre, and planted tn rows thus and cultivated once or twice will yield approximately ac much If they were broadcasted. By ?darning soybeans, cowpeas and sor ghum as suggested the seed per acre will cost little if any more than we have been paying tn years past. Now, here Is our opportunity and our duty. Yon have U>? responsibility acresLge and production of food and feed crops to the very greatest extent possible.
