The State Fuel Administrator has reques'ed the County Fuel Admin istrator to organize a wood chopping brigade to cut wood next Monday. It is suggested tbat the organization be effected Sunday, so that while the manufacturing plants and other businesses are shut down Monday the day can b$ put in in getting necessary fuel. The purpose ia to save coal as that is needed for bunkering ships, running trains and plants which use coal only. No Court This Week. Monday was a fuel saving day and the weather was severe and it was agreed that there would be no court. The weather did not improve, but grew worse and the lawyers got busy and arranged to continue all the cases on the calendar and , have no court. Judge Devin was advised and the plan met his approval.| To have no court this week, under existing conditions, appears to have been a very proper step to take. It was extremely cold, the ground was covered with snow and ice, and last, but not least, there was not coal and wood on hand sufficient to warm the offices and the court room.

It is reported here this afternoon that a man and woman palmed off bougs checks, 'purporting to be caphiera' checks, on Eton Hank & Trust Co. and The Bank of Gibaou ville. At the Elon Bank the man presented a check for S6OO, to>d the cashier he wanted to deposit some money to the oredit of hi-t sister in the school thpre and took S4OO ia cash. Later an investigation proved there waa no auch girl in school. At-Gibsonville they got a cbevk cashed for >875. A communication a little later with the issuing 'bank proved- the check a fake. They tried the banka in Burlington and failed. Both bauka here had checks present ed by the woman, but the cashiers asked her to be identißed and her! game did not work. When the fleeced banks realized what had happened they called on the Sheriff for help. An officer at Elon College waa called and sent in pursuit of the sharpers who had hir ed an automobile at Gibsonville and made their way to Greensboro. When the officer reached Gibsonville he met the automobi'e returning from Greensboro. Officera in Greensboro were ad vised to be on the lookout, but at this honr nothing has been heard. It ia hoped the fogers will be caught and made to disgorge and l>e meted out the punishedment fixed by law. Later — The above is a sta'ement of the matter as repor'ed to THE GLEANER, but it is learned later tliat no money was obtained fromOibson- Eille Bank and that the Elon B&nk was the only victim.

Mclver, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Burling ton, and the rennains left on the even ing train for Baltimore, accompanied by a committee of the Masonic fra ternity, for interment.

C 5 Surplus Wheat ef ths United Stats* Has Bean Ssnt to Famine Threat, cned Europe. America's great corn crop, exceed ing 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save ths world's food situation, officials of the United States food administration be lieve. Corn Is the nation's best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body In a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when com bined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain Ufo indefinitely. In dian warriors In colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at • time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers. Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal 1s reaching the millers and consumers. In the meantime the nation's surplus wheat has been sent to Europe. Today there are approximately 30 bushels bf corn for every American. This quantity Is greater by five bush els than In former years. Corn has become the nation's main stay In the crisis of war. Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as It served as a staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has aguln come to tho front In the nation's battle with autocracy. Corn meal Is finding greatly Increas ed use In the making of ordinary white bresd. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent, corn meul with wheat flour to make leavened bread. This kind of a mixture Is worked and baked In the samo recipes nml with tho same methods that apply to straight wheat bread. ~ Corn bread—u*lng corn meal entire ly—la gaining a greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat aaved In America meana a pound of wheat releaaed for ahlpment to the natlona with which America la aaaoct ated In the war. There are a acore of corn product* that today poaaeiw unuaual Importance for American*.
