An appropriation of $5,000 has,been made for the Institu tion of tb" plant. As the dairy will be operated by convalescent soldiers the cost of maintenance will be compara tively small.

Tascumbls, Sheffield and Florence, Ala., contain the employees of the three great government nitrate plants located In the vicinity of Muaael Shoals. Like most small towns denly required by the present war to accommodate huge ordnance enter prise* planted In their mtdit, these three communities were wholly unuble to afford proper bousing, and, condi tion* rapidly got beyond control. The better and more denlrable of the work er*, with their fumllle*, grew re*tlc*s. A transformation Is now In progress under direction of the community or ganization branch. Vice centers have been eradicated, the sale of liquor has been placed under rigid control. A public market has been established for the three towns.

I Seeing eventual defeat staring her hi the face through the swift prog | r»ss of the Serbian, Italian, British, j Greek and French troops in the re- j | (Calming of Serbia und the invasion of Bulgarian territory, the Bugalrs begged for an armistice, reserving to themselves no conditions. All the tor- I I rltory now held by King Ferdinand's | men is to be evacuated, the Bulgarian j , army is to be immediately demobilized and all means of transport Inside the kingdom, even along the Danube, Is to be given over Into allied hands. Thus, in addition to the Isolation of Turkey, the back door to a direct invasion of Austria-Hungary is flung wide open to the allies and doubtless the time Is not far distant when ad vantage to the full will be taken of the new avenue through which the enemy can be reached. With the de bacle In Serbia and Bulgaria complete, the Austro-Hungarlans in Albania soon will be put to the test, and when their evacuation to their own border* Is accomplished, the allies will have welded an Iron semi circle about the central power* from the Black sea to the North sea.

Bulgaria agrees to evacuate all the territory she now occupies In Greece and Serbia, to demobilize her army Immediately, and surrender all means of transport to the allies. Bulgaria also will surrender her boats and control of navigation on the Danube and concede to the allies free passage through Bulgaria for the development of military operation*. All Bulgarian arms and ammunition are to be stored under the control of the allies, to whom Is conceded the right to occupy ail important atrategle point*. The pres* learns that the military occupation of Bulgaria .will be en trusted to British, French and Italian force* and the evacuated portion* of Qreece and Serbia respectively to Greek and Serbian troops.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Uso For Over 30 Years BUY A ÜBBBTY. BOND, , j _ . II Hill PEOPLE MUSI HUBLE THEIR EFFORT, DEGURES FOOD ADMINISTRATOR PAGE food Requirements of Allies 60% More This Year Than Last- Failure in 1919 Will Cost One Million Extra Lives and the Issue is Cleraly Drawn, "Sacrifice at Home or on the Battlefield"—The Humanitarian Impulse—Mr. Page Explains Situation. The gigantic task before the Food Administration and the American peo ple In the matter of saving foodstuffs was explained by State Food Adminis trator Henry A. Page today upon his return' from Washington where he. with Executive Secretary John Paul Lucas, attended a conference of alt Food Administrators with Mr. Hoover and his staff. The purpose of this renference was to dlscusß in detail and determine upon (details of policy dur ing the present fiscal year. What the Food Administration and' the American people are upr against may readily be Been from me state ment that the Food Administration has promised to send to the Allies during the present fiscal year Mil lion tons of foodstuffs as against the 10 million tons saved and shipped to them by the most strenuous effort during the last fiscal year; and In ad dition to this Increase of 60 per cent in exports, to lay up a reserve of wheat and other foodstuffs as insur ance against a abort crop next year which, without such Insurance, might well prove disastrous for the Allied caudo. Must Strip to the Bone. "This whole nation must strip to the bone If our armies are to be given a fair chance to win this war next year," declared Mr. Page. "The view is frankly expressed In Government circles at Washington that our failure to win the war In 1919 will cost the lives of a million addition American •oldlers. "The whole thing resolves Itself Into the question, 'Are the American people at home going to make sacri fices to make probable the winning of the war next year, or shall our armies sacrifice a million red-blooded Ameri can boys because they do not get the backing at home which they must have from this very minute If they are to win. "The food products are pretty well balanced. We are not going to have any spectacular drives on meat sav ing, wheat saving or fat saving, but we must have a terrific drive on the paving on all foodstuffs. We must actually get down to bed rock and live by this motto: "Buy Less, • "Eat Less, "Waste Nothing," While the producers mußt add to that motto the further injunction: "Produce More." Must Taste of Real Sacrifice. "Our people have not realized yet what real war strain 18. Before this war ends they must taste of real sac rifice. They must have a war con sciousness that will make them direct the course of theit affairs in such direction as will aid in the winning of the war. Every individual must con sider the effect of every action upon the course of the war. In no other way can -we win without useless sac rifice or lives and the continuation of the appalling suffering In our Allied countries and In the countries of friendly neutrals. "One very great Incentive to the quickest posßlble winning of the war Is the condition of 180 million neut ralx, extending.from Roumanla on the south and Including Poland, Norway, Sweden and Holland. In some of those countries there Is the most acute suffering. Hundreds of thou sands of those people can see abso lutely nothing ahead except Blow starvation. It Is our humane duty, In addition to our duty to our own sold iers and Allies, to win this war Just as quickly as possible so that we may relieve these people. We can do noth ing for them as long as the war lasts and all of our exports are required for our Allies. Non-Eseentlsls Must Go. '"Not only* In foodstuffs must the American people economize; we must economize in labor particularly and In other things that are large factors in the war situation. It Is expected that we will have between two and three millions additional men in France early next summer, with a million or more under arms In camps In this country. At the same time we must very greatly Increase the number of workmen In shipyards, munition plants and other war Industries. All of this means that there Is to be an unprece dented drain upon the labor of the country. Non-essential industries must go. Women must take the place of men In some industries that are es sential. In France 96 per cent of agri cultural work is being done by women and children and the other 6 per cent by old men and wounded men. We shall not approach any such condition as this, but patriotic women must volunteer for such positions as they can fill and men Just be relieved wherever possible tor the harder man uel labor required in agriculture and Ahe essential Industries. "The 'Work ot Fight' order of Gen eral ffrowder applied to the new draft Is going to work vonders but In this country we must depend upon the vol untary. patriotic elfort and co-opera tion by every Individual man. woman and child.

It is a source of constant wonder to the English, French, and Italians that we have been able to accomplish through Intelligent, voluntary co-operation the savings In foodstuffs that were abso lutely necessary to keep those nations in the war. - k "We shall not have the direct ap peals of 'meatless days' ahd 'wheatless meals,' et cetera, from now on, but I am confident, speaking for North Caro linians, that our people have acquired such a war consciousness that they need only to be told what Is necessary for the winning of the war. The few food Blackers, labor slackers, and other kinds of slackers among us must be made-to feel the withering scorn and burning contempt of patriotic and decentetpeople, so that they will not dare endager the success of the war through their disloyalty and failure to do something like their duty. "Our leaders feel that our people desire to qjiare In the sacrifices that have been made and are being made by our Allies. Our people do not need to suffer to the same extent as our Allies have, but it shall be their priv ilege, as well as their duty, to cut out non-essentials in every thing, espec ially in those articles that must be transported, BO that they may not add to the strain upon our resources and upon our railroads. Sugar Still Scarce. "The stfgar situation is unchanged. The October allotment will be the same as the September allotment, and it is not likely that there will be any change in the sugar ration until next summer. It Is hoped by that time we will build up a sufficient reserve to take care of the canning situation for the next season. There are going to be further restrictions on the use of sugar for the less essentials. The Flour Program. "It Is very probable that within a short period practically all the flour fold throughout this country will be ready-mixed, so that the housewife will not be inconvenienced to the ex tent of having to mix her 20 per cent of corn meal or other substitutes with flour. Until the mixed flours are ob tainable It Is very earnestly desired that every patriotic American house wife will not make any bread, cake or other wheat product without incor porating with it one pound of corn meal or other cereal substitute for each four pounds of flour. Necessar ily this mixing will have to to be done in the home until the mills are prepar ed to turn out mixed flour in large quantities. "All In all, instead of letting up be cause of good crops, we must look ahgad and tighten up in all things so that this war may be won quickly and decisively and all the horror in neutral' as well aB belligerent Europe may he ended." Raleigh.—"The cottonseed Industry, from producer to refiner, has been sta bilised on a/ basis much higher than any one could have hoped for a few weeks ago," today stated John Paul Lucas, Executive Secretary (A, the Food Administration, upon his return from Washington where he, with State Food Administrator Henry A. Page,, attended a conference of all State Food Administrators with Mr. Hoover. The price of cdtton seed has been stabilized at a slightly higher average figure than the figure received for them by farmers last year. The price of oil has been stabilized at the same figure, thanks to the Food Adminis tration's Influence with the rpfiners and compound lard manufacturers through Its control of export sales of their products. The price of hulls will be S2O per ton. The price of meal will be a little higher at the mill than it was last year unless the War Industries Board can be Influenced to Increase the price, of linters from the present figure of $4.67 per hundred. If the price of linters Is increased, the price of meal will be decreased. The price of cottonseed was fixed at the figure suggested by the produc ers of cottonseed as represented by the Commissioners of Agriculture and farmers' organizations throughout '.he South. This basis was approved and recommended by the Food Adminis trators of the cotton-producing States and accepted by Mr. Hoover and the Cottonseed Division. The price for seed will range from $64 to $73 per ton, depending upon oil and protein content. The whole South Is being divided Into zones, according to the oil and protein content in the respective zones. North Carolina will be divid ed into two tones. Zone No. 1 showed last year an average oil content of JOYI-8 pounds per ton, and the price of seed In this zone will be S7O per ton.

AUTOCRAGYOFARMS MUST BEGRUSHED PEACE 18 NOT A QUESTION .OP TERMB, TERMS BEING NOW IMPOSSIBLE. JUSTICE THE PRICE OF PEACE President Speaks Before Great Audi ence of Liberty Loan Workers at New York. New York.—The price of peace will be impartial justice to all nations, the instrumentality indispensable to se cure it is a league of nations formed not before y attep but a', tho peace conference and Germajny ad a mem ber "will have "to redeem her charac te not by what happens at the peace table, but by what follows.'*« This was President Wilson's answer given before an audience of fourth Liberty loan workers here, to the re cent peace talk from the central pow ers, although he did not refer speclfl oaliy to the utterances of enemy lead ers. Peace was not a question, declared the President, of "coming to terms," for "we cannot 'come to terms' with them," as "they have made it impos sible." Peace must be guaranteed, for "there will be parties to the peace whose promises have untrust worthy and means niust be found In connection with the peace settlement to remove the source of insecurity." "It would be folly to leave the guar antee to the subsequent voluntary ac tion of the. governments we have seen destroy Russia and deoelve Rumania," continued the President. Five thousand persons heard the President speak. Just before his ar rival a guard of soldiers, sailors and marines seated at the rear of the platfoi>m were suddenly ordered to at tentlon. They arose with a smart click of rifles the national colors were advanced and the great audience be came silent. This dramatic quiet was maintained without interruption until the President, without other warning of his comihg, walked on the stage, escorted by Benjamin Strong, gover nor of the federal reserve bank of New York. Then a tremendous burst of cheering broke loose which caused the President, after taking his seat, to rise three times in acknowledg ment. _ AMERICAN FORCES CONTINUE STEADY ADVANCE MOVEMENT Lohdon.—wyth Bulgaria evidently fallen by the wayside, with Turkey Btaggerlng and with Austria, a welter of internal discord and discontent, the shaken armies of Emperor William are grudgingly falling back upon their own frontiers before the irresistible blows of Marshal Foch's British, French and American troops. The French and Americans plunged for ward again between Rheims and, Ver dun while the .British attacked on a wide front in the Cambral sector. Be tween them they already have taken more than 20,000 prisoners and many guns of all calibers. In the face of steadily strengthen ing German resistance the American forces in the Champagne continue their advance and their front now includes the villages of Charpentry, Very, Eplnonville and Ivolrry. They threw back German counter-attacks with heavy losses to the enemy. The prisoners captured by the Americans alone now number 8,000 and the cap tured booty Includes more than 100 guns. The French troops east of Rheims were equally as successful as the Americans with whom they co-oper ated. They have increased the num berbef of prisoners taken by them in the present drive to more than 10,000. British troopß in heavy force also ■wept forward on a wide front in a continuation of their efforts to drive a wedge into the German defenses be tween Cambrel and Doual with the evident Intention of outflanking both these buttresses of the Hindenburg line. AERIAL WORK IS SERIOUBLY HAMPERED BY BAD WEATHER With the American Army Northwest of Verdun.—The second day's prog ress of the American troops in the new offensive was slight when com pared with that of Thursday because the bad weather and well night im passable roads slowed up all kinds of transport and made It nearly Impos sible for the Americans to move their heavy artillery.

VALUE OF BACK-YARD FLOCK Average Size Vuld Be at Least Ten Hena to Produce 100 Dozen Eggs a Year. (Prepared by the United State* Depart ment of Agriculture.) Here are Jiorae safe figures about what can be expected of a back-yard flock. Each hen In her pullet year should produce ten dozen eggs. The average size of the back-yard flock ahould be at least ten bens. Thus each flock would produce In a year 100 dozen of eggs, which, at the conserva tive value of 25 cents a down, would be worth $25. But the 100 dozen Is more Important than the $25. Old-Fashioned Idea. The old-fashioned Idea that round eggs would hatch pullets, and long or painted eggs cockerels. Is en Only without foundation/ Use Hena for Breeders. Don't breed from pullets at all tf you c%n use hens Instead. MAKING BEST GRAIN All Old Hens and Poorly DavefSpeld Chickens Should Be Culled Out and Sold for Meal (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) If efforts were made to dispose of all hens when their best laying days were over a large quantity of poultry meat would be placed on the market AH poorly developed chickens should be culled out and sold for meat, also. This would allow the poultry keeper to make the best use of his grain by feeding It to younger and more pro ductive fowls. Feather Pulling Habit Feather fulling Is a vice peculiar to fowls In confinement and la due al most entirely to enforced Idleness, though a lack of animal food In tb« ration m«y Intensify the trouble.
