TO GLEANER SUBSCRIBERS:.
A notice has been published
fona month, stating that unpaid
subscriptions would IXJ discon
tinued after October Ist. So,
if yoil fail to get a paper next
week, it will be because you
have not attended to the matter.
The Chief of the War Indus
tries Board has issued this order :
"No publication may continue
after three months after the
date of expiration, unless sub
scriptions are renewed and paid
for."
This is rt war measure and
not a scheme on our part to col
lect arrearages. All newspajjers
have to abide by it or stop pub
lication.
We do not want to drop a

left yet to make payment.
THE WAR.
The Turks in Palestine havo been
crushed ; in Macedonia the onemy is
hotly pursued ; in Siberia the Japs
are materially holping tho Russians
retiko their country. Disaster seems
to have overtaken tho Teutonic
allies.
On the Wostern front the English,
French and Americans continue to
advance.
Everywhere the Allies are on tho
offensive, giving the enemy little or
no time to strike back.
Big American guns are dropping
shells on the Metz fortifications and
will reduce thorn sooner or later.
This is one of Germany's most
strongly fortified cities—but it must
be given up or it will be bounded
into dust.
Spanish Influenza is a new epi
demic that has invadod the soldier
camps. There are thousands of
oases. Pneumonia has followed it
and there have been a number of
deaths. The disease is much like
"la grippe" which spread over tho
country a few years ago. #

And who is the Real Farmer *
The man who farma, simply to see
how many dollars he can get out
of his year'* labors? Not for a
moment. That ia all too narrow
• conception of the Real Farmer.
Rather, it is the farmer to whom
farm life and farm surroundings
constitute the ideal of human hap
piness; the farmer who knojrs as
well how many children he has as
how many cattle and hogs; tho
farmer to whom it is as groat a
pleasure to find in his rambles
•field a baby calf, colt, lamb, or
Utter of pigs, with attendant man
ifest maternal affection, as it is to
grasp the price of a fatted steer;
the farmer who finds satisfaction
in binding np a broken leg and
oftlmes succeeds when the veteri
nary said, Oh, shoot it, setting
will never succeed; tho farmer to
tlhom every horse, dog, cat and
even the diminutive ban tains look
to, and justly so, as a friend; the
farmer who finds pleasure in the
that a great part of his
'mission is to feed the world —this
type alone constitutes the Real
Farmer. —Quoted by Dr. H. C.
Taylor, University of Wisconsin.

Bank head Highway Branch Routes in
Virginia apd North Carolina In
spected—Report! of
Committees.
J. A. Ilountree, Secretary of the
Bankhead National Highway, after
a two weeks' tour through North
Carolina and Virginia, inspecting
branch routes ot the B.tnkhead
National Highway in those 8 tat en
and also visiting Washington in
the interest of the Bankhaad
Highway, has returned home full
of enthusiasm over the prospects
of the Highway being taken over
by the Government as a military
road, traversiug from Welling
ton to Los Angeles, California.
On September 2nd, Secretary
Ilountree headed a pathflnding
committee composed of Col. C. M.
Vanstory, Director-lit-Large, and
Col. Bennehan Cameron, Director
for North Carolina. U. S. Fallis,
State Highway Engineer of North
.Carolina, D. N. Winslow, Main
tenance Engineer of North Caro
lina, traversed the Military branch
of the Highway from Williamston,
N. C., to Raleigh, Henderson and
to Norfolk, Va. They al«o in
spected the Naval branch from
Norfolk to Petersburg. The path
flnding party was most cordially
received and an ovation tendered
them at various'towns and cities
through which they passed. The
pathfinders were delighted with
the attentions accorded them
and the branch routes which they
inspected.
After the pathflnding trip, Sec
retary Ilountree, accompanied by
a strong delegation, composed of
leading good roads advocates,
went to Washington for tlio pur
pose of inducing the Government
to pass tho Stephous-Bankhead
Military lio.id bill to take over
the Bankhead National Highway,
which traverses from Washington
to Los Angeles, as a Military
Highway. The committee ap
peared before Senator John 11.
Bankhead, Chairman Post Oflice
and Post Ho ads Committee, Sena
tor F. M. Simmons, Chairman
Committee on Finance, Senator
Martin, Chairman Committee on
! Appropriations, Senator Chamber
lain, Chairman Senate Military
Committee, Congressman Dent,
ChAlrman of the Military Affairs
of the House. The committee
was most cordially receivod and
assurancas given th.it the build
ing of the Bankhead National
Highway was feasible and
the perview of the law.
After consultation it was sug
gested by the Senators that
special hearing should be ar
ranged before the Military Com

Government should take over the
Bankhead Highway as a Military
necessity. Senator Chamberlain
designated December Li til as the

Saving the Sweet Potatoes by Storage
By W. N. Hutt, Chief Division o!
Horticulture.
year's crop of sweet pota
toes is somewhat below norma
throughout the entire South. Thii
shortage emphasizes more that
ever the importance of saving aj
much of the production as is pos
sible. In normal years nearlj
half of the sweet potatoes storec
in banks, (lug-outs, and improp
erly constructed houses rot befon
being removed, and last year, it
many instance?, losses of over IK
per cent were reported.
Both the State and Federal De
partments of Agriculture hav
made a study of houses (or curing
and storing this crop, and eacl
has concluded separately that tlx
best house is one made of wood
with double wails throughout,
separated by a dead-air space,
That is, on the inside of the stud
ding is a layer of sheathing, c
layer of building paper, then «
layer of matched lumber. On the
outside of the studding is sheath'
ing, paper, and matched siding
The roof also should have foui
layers of lumber and the building
paper, in addition to shingles 01
roofing papers. The house should
bo built 18 or 20 inches off th
ground, on a concrete or stone
wall. The floor should be made
by first putting down rough lum
ber, then building paper and
tonguo-and-groove flooring. Doors
and windows should be double
and tight-fitting. A dead-aii
space between the walls is the
key-note of the entire structure.
This makes the problem of con
trolling temperature and moisture
au easy one. The old method ol
packing sawdust between the
walls has proven itnelt very un
satisfactory, as compared with a
dead-air space. The sawdust lie
comes damp and soon starts decay
of the sweet potatoes.
The production of this crop can
bo greatly increased without a
reduction of the market price.
Not enough are growu at present
to supply the South, .and the peo
ple of the Northern Stales are just
beginning to roalize the value of
the sweet potato, but they can
secure theru on the markets only
during a short season in the fall.
Many growers iu North Caro
lina market their sweet potateies
at digging t'me. When proper
storage facilities are lacking, this
is a good way of getting cash out
of the crop, but as the market is
always glutted at th!s time, the
potatoes are cashed at a heavy
discount. Good sweet potatoes in
the spring generally bring double
the price received at digging time
iu the fall. A bushel in" the spring
will bring as much as a bushel of
apples, and yet hardly ever re
ceives as good care.
There are four important points
essential to good storago. These
are: (1) mature potatoes, (2)
careful handling, (■!) proper cur
ing or drying, and (4) uniform
temperature.
Sweot potatoes should bo left iu
the ground uulil they are mature,
but they should be dug before the
flrst heavy "frost, as frosted pota
toes soon begin to decay.
Careful handling is very im
portant. No amount of curing or
careful manipulation of the
storage house can save sweot po
tatoes which have been cut in
digging, or bruised by handling
in the Held Or on their way to tlio
storago house. The heaviest loss
is usually duo to excessive mois
ture in the sweet potatoes, which
cau only be removed by using the
proper storago house.
A day or two before digging be
gins, the house should be dried
out by building a tire in it. A
cast-iron stove is best, and wood
or coal may be burnod. Ventila
tors are provided in the floor and
ceiling, which, togother wijh open
doors and windows, afford a fre
quent change of air, thus properly
drying the house.
A temperature of 80° to 85° P.
should be maintained while the
crop is being stored and during
the first ten or twelve days of
storage. This thoroughly dries
the surface of the potatoes. Dur
ing this period the house should
bet well ventilated. After thisj
period the temperature should bel
gradually lowered and kopt at
about 55° P., not varying above
00* or below 48°. The ventilators
can usufllly be adjusted to regu
late the temperature, but it may
be uec*siry at times to build a
Are during cold weather. If mois
ture begins to collect on the walls
at any timo, a fire should be start
ed to dr» out the house. The air
tight walls aud the large bulk of
sweet potatoes make it easy to
regulate the temperature.
Storago may tie done either iu
bins raised off the floor and away
from the walls to afford ventila
tion, or in bushel crates. Crates
are very convenient, as they cau
be filled in the field; the sweet
potatoes being graded as they are
picked up off the ground. The
crates are carried to the house
without further handling. They
»re also used for shipping. If
[iroperly handled, there will be no
waste, and they can be filled com
pletely, covered, and loaded into
jars.
This storage house has many
advantages over the old method
of banking. It is it permauent
structure, and needs no remodel
ing. Sweet potatoes are of a bet
ter quality than those sorted from
the decayed ones from the bauks.
One bushel or all can be removed
at a time without molesting the
others. The owner can determine
their condition at auy time with
out injuring the iioose or the
sweet potatoes.
It is very important, before
storing sweet potatoes in any
house, irrespective of the struc
ture, where sweet potatoes have
previously been stored, to clean
it out thoroughly and spray or
wash with p solution of formalin
(1 pint to 10 or 15 gallons of
water), or with a saturated solu
tion of blnestone.
Those who intend «rectiag a
sweet potatoe storage house should
write tt> the State Horticulturist,
Raleigh, N.. C., or the Bureau of
Markets, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. 0., for blue-priute, bills of ma
terial, and specific instructions
for building and storing.
OUR" GERMAN PRISONERS.
Luckiest Germans in the World.
The - luckiest Germans in the
world right now are behind the
double-barbed wire fence of the
stockade at Fort McPhereon, (Ga.)
war priSion camp. This is the
only camp for military prisoners
in the United States, though there
are two others for German civilian
prisoners—one at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga, and one at Salt L.tke City,
Utah.
Whatever the Germans may be
doing to allied war prisoners, the
Uuited States government is liv
ing strictly up to The Hague con
vention in the treatment of these
men. The prison barracks look
exactly like any army canton
ment, except for the double fences
of barbed wire, 15 feet apart, and
the sentry towers, electric lights
and machine guns'
There are 33 acres within the
prison reservation. Six of them
are gardens; four acres are de
voted to recreation grounds, and
the rest is covered by barracks,
mess balls, kitchens, store rooms
and executive offices.
Up to last June the prison popu
rttb'i numbered 1,411, but six
parties of 100 prisoners each —
volunteers—have been sent under
guard to six army cantonments to
work war gardens and build roads.
The prisoners are formed Into
companies under the command of
six nou-commissioned officers of
the guard who live inside the
stockade with them. The men are
divided into five classes. Class A
consists of officers, of whom there
are 00. Class B are warrant offi
cers, 52. Class C are petty offi
cers, 311. Class D are seamen
and firemen, 52. Class F are the
merchant seamen, SG.
The Hague conventions provide
that captured commissioned offi
oers cannot be compelled to work
while prisiouers of war. The pri
vates are allowed to work. The
War Department pays them 25
cents a day. They work on the
average only about six and a half
hours a day. At present 150 are
working for the quartermaster at
Camp Jessup, at Fort McPlierson
and at their prison camp.
Every prisoner gets three meals
a day, exactly like soldiers in the
United States army. He gets a
clothing allowance equivalent to
that for men in the army also. In
addition, the men have been per
mitted to cultivate a six-acre (far
den tract within 'the reservation,
from which they have adde/1 to.
their mess all sorts of garden truck
The officers get the same rations
as the men and they-vhave it s
plentiful they do not buy anything
The housing accommodations are
e.jualto those provided for our own
army.
Outside of working hours and at
tendance at roll call twice a day
the men arc allowed to amuse
themselves as they please. There
are two orchestras, the meinbert
having brought the instruments
from the Kronprlnr. Wilhelm and
the Eltel Friederich, including a
beautiful gold and white piano.
To guard the 811 men in camp
there arc 150 men of the United
States war prison guards, a sepa
rate organization of the army cre
ated for this special purpose. There
are two companies at each of the
three war prison barracks in the
United States.
To Bring Back Our Dead.
Americans who lose their lives in
the war abroad will be buried there
only temporality. Where Idcntlf
cation is possible the bodies will
placed In marked graves,! to be ta
ken up when the war is over and
brought home. The remains >? all
naval and army men and civilian
employees are included, and th? re
mains of those who die on the hi,?h
seas wlll~be embalffted an I ret jrn
ed home. This is the plan of the
war department.

accomplished in a case of liver
and kidney complaint combined
with catarrh of the head.
"Dreco has done me lots of good
-in a very short time. My com
plaint was kidney and liver trouble
and catarrh of the head. I can
say truthfully that Dreco has re

Dreco is a combination of roots,
herbs, barks and berries noted for
their medicinal value. It is the
good old natural medicine that
our sturdy grandparents used in
the days when doctors were few
and bard to reach.
Dreco has proven its value in
all cases where a safe and sure
natural medicine is required. It
is particularly useful in kidney,
liver and stomach disorders, ca
tarrh, rheumatism, headaches,
nervousness, and kindred ills.
Dreco is not an expensive medi

Monroe Enquirer.
The world has always held the
deserter in disrepute. The man
who runs away from military duty
when his country needs him is ever
marked. But, what about the man
who, during war times takes ad
vantages in trade and makes un
reasonable profits? We let Judge
Clark of the Statesville Landmark
take the floor, Judge Clark says:
The man who takes advantage of
the abnormal conditions of war time
to exact unreasonable and unjust
profits for the necessities of life
may be a '"respected citizen" of
the community; he may occupy the
chief seats in the synagogue ana
may make long • prayers; but the
man who runs away from military
service, or the highwayman who
rotfs at the point of a gun, are
patriots, gentlemen an i Christians
compare! with the hypocrites who
rob under the guise of legitimate
business. These facts should oe
kept in mind in these days when
the temptation to profiteer is
strong; and those who engage in it
should have a mark put on them
that will brand them for all time.

Who Will Win The War?
Clarence Ousley, Assistant Secre
tary of Agriculture.
The American farmer in large
degree will determine the trend of
human history for all time U> come,
because the ultimate
consequences of this conflict rest
primarily upon the farmer's pro
duction of food and feed to sus
tain the fighting forces. They
might fail even with an adequate
food supply; without it they are
certain to fail.
But in his field, far from the
fury of battle, far from either the
adventures or the horrors of the
firing line, the American farmer
will say whether autocracy or de
mocracy shall rule the world dur
ing the seasons that, are to come,
(n a sense the war will be won or
lost in the fields, gardens, orch
ards, pastures, and hog lota of (ho
American farmer.
The hope of the American citi
zen, not a farmer, also hinges
upon adequate agricultural pro
duction. Our aeroplanes are use
less, our guns «re spiked and our
rides jammed, our shells are but
an harmless baubles, if the farmer
fails. This must be understood
in all ita grim force by every man,
WQiuan, and child HI America; by
farmers and by those who are not
farmers.

SUMMER COMPLAINT.
During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it is of the
greatest importance that this be
treated propmptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
on hand. Mrs. P. P. Scott, Scotts
ville, N. Y., states, "I first used
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago.
At that time I had a severe at
tack of summer complaint ana was
suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results" Por sale by al dealers.
Conservation is the All-Ameri
can job—an army of four million
soldiers must be fed from this
year's crop.
First aid for Ptomaine poison
ing. Dr. SETH ARNOLD'S BAL
SAM is quick to relieve pain. War
