For the past week war operations
in the West have have been of a
quiet nature, except as to the ar
tillery, which booms almost con- -
atantly.
The Germans claim successes on
the East in Russia, but the extent
of their claims have not been ad- i
mitted or verified.
The heaviest fighting has been in I
the Italian offensive drive against I
the Austrian*. The Italians have I
won a number of encounters ano i
taken many prisoner* and much i
war material.
The aituation in Kuasia is not in I
a settled condition yet. The task j
is being worked out of getting i
those people to a proper under- i
standing of the new conditiofito
since the deportation of the Czar,
but the best informed *tat?sraen 1
have no fears as to the result. I
m j
There is peace talk in Germany i
and the President's reply to the
Pope is said to have mado a pro
found in impression in Germany.
There is a suspicion that the Ger
mans fling out eomething about
peace to throw the Allies off their
guard and to gain time for war prep
arations. It is a fact that the
Germans aro not idle in war prep
arations and that they strike where
ever and whenever they cap. "On
to Uerlin" should be the slogan of
the Allies. To subdue the Germans
is the only way to conquer the Ger
man spirit.'
Last week Judge Hoyd in the (J.
8. Court in Greensboro held the
Keating child labor law to bo uncon
stitutional, in that it was an impair
ment of the rights of States and the
constitutional righta of individuals.
Of course the case will he appealed
to the U. 8. Supreme Court. There
is some doubt about the ultimate re
sult. Mr. Junius Parker of New
York made the leading speech in op
position to the law.
Last Chimes of the Bells
"The last chimes of the church
bells," Is the subject of inauy pa
tfaetio valedictory articles in the
German papers, says a dispatch
from Amsterdam. Before the
bells were taken down to be sent
to the munition foundries the
clergy in many German villages
celebrated special church services
commemorating the history and
record of the belle, many of which
are .centuries old, the church or
gan meanwhile playing appropri

The next day the villagers as

down of their beloved bells on

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR ASKS
DOUBLING OF WHEAT CROP
Mr. Page Says To Do So Will Pay in Dollars and
- Cents and It Will Help to Save
Millions of Starving People. «
By HENRY A. PAGE,
Food Administrator for North Carolina.
It is to be hoped that
Carolina will will this fall, double
its wheat croj). Every condition
that tends to encourage and pro
mote such a growth in our wheat
production exists today. Ouf soil
may not be the best in the world
for this grain, but it is much bet
ter than we think. Large areas
in the Central-Eastern section
have hitherto grown little or no
wheat simply because other crops
paid better, and it was louud j
cheaper to buy than to produce I
bread; and because economic con-1
ditions made it unprofitable to
grow wheat as a money crop we
have progressed to the conclusion
that the soir did not suit it anil
that we conld not grow it. This
is clearly disapproved by the fact
that very satisfactory yields were
obtained this year in many sec
tions hitherto considered unsuit
ed to wheat.
We Iniow that we face a world
wide shortage of food. We have
taken stock carefully and (ind our
selves in possession of just enough
wheat, to feed three-fourths of
those who must be fed, that is, on
full rations; so we are facing the
necessity of three-fourths feeding
all—on wheat products, and sub
stituting for the other fourth of
our bread, certainly until after
the 1918 harvest. If we are to be
in position to resume full rations
after the next year's harvest we
must increase our production fully
one-third.
The selling price of wheat In
North Carolina cannot fall below
$2.20 prior to May, 1919. The
price of the 1917 crop, now in our
possession, has just been fixed by
the "United States Food Admin
istration" at $2.20 f. o. b. Chicago,
which means, freight added, ap
proximately $'2.40. It is a crime,
under the law, to exact more; it
cannot sell for less, because the
government will pay that price for
It. The price of the 1918 crop is
fixed by the Food Act, Approved
August 10th, at not less than $2.00,
Chicago—which means $2.20 iu
North Carolina. It cannot be loss,
this much is guaranteed; it may
be more. It would therefore seem
clear that we can produce iu North
Carolina a much 1 irger crop of
wheat than wo have been produc
ing—at a profit. Evory considera
tion of hrumanity would urge us
to do all we can (whether at a
profit or a loss) to keep fed a huu
gry world. In many countries
women and children are dying of
hunger; many thousands every
Patriotism calls for "Special
Effort", each of us in the sphere
of activity for which we are best
fitted, and thousands of us here
in North Carolina can best do our
war bit ln*the line of food produc
tion aud food saving.
Let us double our wheat acreage
this year:
First: It will pay us in dollars
and cents.
Second: It will help to save
millions of starving people.
Third: It is our line of service
to our country; a concrete and
worth-while expression of patriot
ism.
I wonder if every minister in
North Carolina who preaches
weekly to landowners will, for the
next three or four Sabbaths, brief
ly urge liispeople to this duty?

GET CHILDREN READY FOR
SCHOOL.
Children Should be Vaccinated and
Examined for Contagious
Diseases.
School teachers of the State are
1 telling parents to get their chil
dren ready for school now. Their
advice is; "If your children must
|be vaccinated before they can
I enter school, have this done at
once so that any discomfort or ill
ness they may suffer from vacci
nated arms may be over with be
fore schobl begins. Nothing is
more aunoying to the teacher, '*
they say, "nor does the clafcs as a
whole a greater injury than ir
regular attendance on account of
sickness during the first weeks of
sohooh For more reasons than
one," they assert, "sick children
are not wanted at school." ✓
Public health work, particular
ly medical school inspection, has
made the teaclftr the guardian
angel of the children's health
while they are under her charge.
Teachers are realizing this re
sponsibility when they advise:
"Parents should know that their
children have no contagious or in
fectious diseases* or lisve been
directly exposed to them when
they start them to school. If they
are not sure and if any communi
cable disea-te, as diptheria, meas
len, whooping cough or scarlet
fever, is prevalent in the com
munity the fjtinily physician
should be called in for his advice.
If the children have been exposed
to any disease they should be kept
at houie till their physiciau ad*
vises it is safe to start to school.
It is only by keeping sick chil
dren away from school," say the
teachers, "that school epidemics
can be avoided and the health of
the children, as well as that of the
community, can be best safe
guarded,"
MEN BELOW PAR PHYSICALLY.
Over Five Percent of Men Examined
Found to Have Tuberculosis.
Nine men out-of one hundred
and seventy-five of those drafted
and physically examined in the
State for military service have
been found to have tuberculosis,
according to Dr. Houston U. lliatt
of High Point, who is a member
of one of the examining boards.
The number of inen found physi
cally tit, free from any disease or
defect, has been exceedingly small.
The army standards do not de
mand physical perfection, but
they do expect men to be free
from defects that will cripple their
efficiency or diseases that will de
stroy their strength and useful
ness.
North Carolina is not alone in
finding her men physically below
par. Examining boards of other
States report an unusually small
number of meu coming up to army
standards.
Th«-se facts brought to public
attention through the draft ex
aminations have been interpreted
to mean that these young men are
now handicapped yrith defects
which, with attention, could have
been reuiediep or reuiov&l alto
gether a few years ago. To cor
rect defects early in life and to
insist ou proper living conditions,
good homes, good food, sanitary
places of work, deceut wages and
wholesome rest, is said to be the
lesson of the draft examination.

of Uxkuil last Saturday, the Germans
threw bridges across this stream and
soon were on the heeis of the former
defenders, some of whom offered re
sistance, but others of whoih showed
the white feather, giving the invaders
no* trouble in marching np the eastern
bank of the Divlna toward Riga, It
miles distant. Seeing the disaffection
and the inability to stem the tide of the
advance, the Russian commander or
dered an evacuation.
With the falling back of the Rus
sians from the city proper and the ad
vance of the Germans northward along
'both sides of the stream, the Rus
sians still defending the western bank
around Dahiplen seemingly are In dan
ger of being caught between the two
fast moving bodies ot the enemy and
made prisoners.
Behind them th e Russians 1b their
retreat from Riga are laying the coun

pulsed fresh counter-attacks launched
by the Austrlans. Throughout this
entire theater violent artillery duels
are in progress from Tobnlno to the

Advices to the Italian embassy In
Washington are to the effect that
along the front of the present offensive
the Austrlans have lost more than
128,000 men. Reports frdfn TJdine,
Italy, give the Austrian losses as one

CAN LENGTHEN LIFE 15 YEARS.
Learning How To Live The Secret
Fifteen years is the length of
time one may add to hitt life by ap
plying what is now known of per
sonal hygiene. This statement was
made by the Roosevelt Conserva
tion in ita report on National Vi
tality. The findings of the Com
mission have reversed the impres
sions of a generation ago that the
average lifetime was a fixed al
lotment decreed by fate. It teaches
now that our doom is a variable
thing and that it is more or lees
in our power to control.
Learning how to live is the secret
of how one may add 15 years to his
life. Individual hygiene, or the hy
giene of personal habits, accord
ing to the Commission contains
possibilities ot self improvement far
beyond what ninety-nine persons
out* of a hundred have ever re
alised. In other words, only one
per cemt of the people know how
to live. The other 9tf per cent, are
victims of improper living habits
and the customs of our boasted, civ
ilisation. They have not learned
to order their lives according to
their physical needs. They are
content to tolerate bad air, bad
food, Imperfect teeth, wrong post
ure, improper clothing, constipa
tion, self drugging, alcoholism, and
other conditions of the average life.
The 98 per cent, who have not
learned to live, says the Commis
sion are responsible for the increase
of 41 per cent, in the country's
death rat* from wear and tear dis
eases in SO years. Wear and tear
diseases are said to be the by
product of dtilixation, not that all
civilisation is wrong but that peo
ple have not yet learned to adjust
their habita of living to its de
mands. i
