CORN CLUB BOYS SET
i PACE FOR FATHERS
CLUB MANAGER RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO SAND HILL SECTION
OF STATE.
OVER 500 NEW MEMBERS
'Great Growth In Interest Shown.
Number of Prizes Offered For
Largest Yields This Year.
; Wast Raleigh That the work of the
Boys' Corn Clubs has served as a
neucleus for the grown-ups In the ag
ricultural progress of this State Is
demonstrated by the statement which
was made by T. E. Browne, in charge
of Corn Clubs in the State, who re
turned from a trip to Cumberland
County and points in the sandhill sec
tion of the State.
Mr. Browne told of the different
atmosphere which is present, in the
rally meetings for the farmers now
end 10 years ago. "Ten years ago,
when the speaker had finished and the
meeting dismissed all made way home
and manifested no more than passing
Interest In what the speaker had said.
Now the farmers stay In the meeting
place and ask the agricultural
speaker many lively, sensible ques
tlona regarding their work. I attrib
ute this fact to the interest which has
been aroused by the corn clubers in
the state, which Is the forerunner of
the work among the boys.
"Demonstration has played its part
In the awakeening of the farmers' in
terest In his work from a scientific
standpoint. The Increased Intelligence
of our rural districts is accountable
for a large part of this new interest"
There are coming Into the offices at
West Raleigh a large number of let
tere from boys throughout the Stat
regarding the Corn Club work much
larger than In former years. Over
600 boys have aask for enrollment
who have hitherto not been members
of the clubs. There are to be offered
this year a number of prizes for the
highest yields. The boys are beta
encouraged to work for corn yields at
a business, and not so much for win
ning a prize.

says:
"I and my four sons will gladly

Richmond. Va. Following the dis

county, seven miles north of this city
Oov. Henry C. Rtewar' !sued quar

that he would go before the Circuit
Court at once and apply for an injunc

ship lines in Virginia to enforce their
firfl complalnce with his recent procla
mation requiring that no cattle or
cattle feed be moved without the
proper Federal certificates. Governor
Stuart also ordered that within
radius of five miles around the farm
where the outbreak has occurred there
be no movement of cattle or cattle
feed. Special deputies have been
aworn in by the - sheriff of Henrico
county and a virtual blockade has
been put into effect..
The city has suspended, its regular
inspection of dairies to prevent inspec

alarming view of the situation.
Russian Offensive Along Whole Front

an indication that thpy have brnus-M
strong reinforcements into the field.
They have checked the German ad
vance In North Poland, where the
Germans are reported In retreat nn
the recapture of Przasnysz after se
vere fighting, has given them an ex
cellent pivotal point from which to
carry on further operations.
All the Petrograd correspondents
refer to the capture of a large number
of Germans as a new phase of the
war, and credit It to a lark of officers
among the German armies and the
large number of young untrained men
drafted into them.
' The Russian offensive extends to
what is now known as the Bzura
Rawka front, where they successfully
opposed Field Marshal von Hinden
burg's attempt to advance on Warsaw.
There has been heavy fighting In
Western Galicia and In the Car
pathians, but, no notable rhnnges In
the situation. In Eastern Galicia the
Russians report another repulse for

HOW TO BAKE LIGHT BREAD
In tlx- cities em! towns north of
Mason and Dixon's line, nobody eat.-i!
any bread except Luker'a bread, an- j
since the advance in the price c.l
flour, the bakers have reduced the
size of loaves and in some plates,!
raised the price. The result has b
war between the baker and consumer.
Bake your own bread, is t'.ie slogan
of the National ilousewive's Learue.
The League is starting a campaign
of education a'on that line. Mrs.
hmma C. Bossorg, teacher of domcs-
tis science at the league- headquar
ters, 25 West Forty-fifth street, Rave
out a recipe yesterday which will do
the trick for 4 cents, or 4'i cents if
you are very particular -and use mint
instead of water. Here it is:
Four cups of lukewarm water.
One cake of yeast.
Two teaspoonfuls of salt.
Two teaspoonfu's of sugar.
One tablespoonful of shortening:.
Eight cups of flour.
This recipe will make four loaves
of regulation size bread at a cost of
4 cents each. And this is just the
way to go about it to get the bear
results, according to Mrs. Bossong:
How it is Done.
Dissolve the yeast in a small auan
tity of water; add salt, sugar and
shortening; add flour gradually tu
make a stiff batter; beat thoroughlv
and add more flour to make a stiff
dough; knead on a floured board, add
ing a very little flour .while kneading:
knead till free from all stickiness;
place dough in a bowl and cover it,
letting it stand in a warm place until
doubled in size (about three hours);
mold into loaves and place in a warm
place until doubled in size again;
bake in a moderately hot oven for
about three-quarters of an hour."
There you have it. Now there is
no excuse why any housewife, who en
joys the proper facilities, should both
er about the high price of bread.
While the Housewives' League is
conducting a "made-at-home" cam
paign and the Mayor's Committee on
Food Supply is making a study of
wheat bread substitutes. Commission
er Hartigan, df the Bureau of Weights
and Measures, is determined to see
to it that the people who do buy
bread at advanced prices, or any old
price for that matter, shall know just
how much weight they are getting.
Until Alderman Dowling's ordi
nance, fixing a standard loaf of out.
pound is adopted, Commissioner Hart
igan can't compel the baker to make
a loaf of any specific size. Tne
Brooks law, enacted by the Legisla
ture, however, gives him the powe,
to compel the baker to label his bread
with its exact weight, whatever that
may be.
There has been some difficulty in
satisfactory enforcing the Brooks
law, owing to the delay and red tape
required in dealing with the cases or
violation through Mate channels, lne
limited number of inspectors has been
another handicap. Commissioner Ear
tigan said yesterday that he intendeu
to ask Attorney-General Woodbury
today to designate a deputy to attend
to these cases. In this way he hope
to have violations promptly taken up
and pewilties speedily dealt out.

INDIAN NAMES
Ye .say they r..ll have parboil away,
That noble race, and brave:
That thtir li-rhl canoes have vanished
From off the ere:-led wave;
That mid the forest.; where they
roamed
mere rings no Hunters snout;
uuc tneir name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.
'Tis where Ontario's billow
Like Ocean's surge is curled,
Where strong Niagara's thunders
wake
The echo of the world.
Where red Missouri bringcth
Rich tribute from the West,
And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps
On green Virginia's breast.
Ye, say their cone-like cabins,
That clustered o'er the vale,
Have fled away like withered leaves
Before the autumn gale;
But their memory liveth on your hills.
Their baptism on your shore,
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect of yore.
Old Massachusetts wears it
Uuon her lordly crown,
And broad Ohio bears it
Amid his young renown;
Connecticut hath wreathed it
Where her auiet foliage waves:
And bold Kentucky breathed it hoarse
through all her ancient caves.
Wachusett hides its lingering voice
witnm his rockv heart.
And Alleghany graves its tone
throughout his lofty chart:
Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
Doth seal the sacred trust:
Your mountains build their monument
Though ye destroy their dust.
Ye call these red-browed brethren
The insect of an hour,
Crushed like the noteless worm amid
The regions of their power;
Ye drive them from their father's land
Ye break of faith the seal,
But can ye from the court of Heaven
Exclude their last appeal?
Ye see their unresisting tribes,
With toilsome step and slow,
On through the trackless desert pass,
A caravan of woe;
Think ye the Eternal Ear is deaf?
His sleepless vision dim?
Think ye the soul's blood may not cry
From that far land to him?

NEW METHOD TO REDUCE MOR
TALITY FROM TETANUS
Announcement is made on behalf
of the Rockefeller Institute of the
invention of an apparatus and the
discovery of a new method of treat
ment, both designed to reduce the
mortality from tetanus among soldiers
wounded on European battlefields.
Twenty-five apparatuses, it is said,
had already been sent to Europe by
thp institute for use on the battle
fields and patents to the inventions
have been thrown open so that who
ever wished might manufacture and
use the apparatus.
I he institutes invest itrators have
found, it was said, that most of the
deaths among wounded men are due
to tetanus and that the present mctr
od of treatment has certain draw
backs. An inject'fi-i of n solution contain
ing epsom salts into the membranes
of the sn'nal cord is a part of t'
method of trctn-ent, it is aniionn"eii.
To Dr. F. J. ?lolt7.or of the institute
has been credited the new method.

When I was a boy, in the past,
before the Civil War, 1 sometime.-
went with my father tr l'ayetteville,
our nearest market, a distance of fifty
miles. The trip required five Cava
to fro and come on the plank r,c.i,
running from rayettevlle to Greens
boro. The C. F. Y. Railway was then
being built from Fayetteville to
Greensboro. Now we have stores
and markets all over the country.
The farmers back in the past had
whiskey and brandy made from the
grain and fruits raised on their farms
and sold at CO cents per gallon, yet
there was but little drunkness in the
country and no need for a Keely In
stitute then. Now the law prohibits
the manufacture of whiskey and bran
dy in North Carolina, and the present
Legislature, we learn, has passed the
Capsule Law, that no one person ahaU
be allowed to have more than a quart,
shipped to him in one week, the eost
of this quart being; all the way from
one dollar up not including express
and other charges.
Next we will say so me thin aJbeat
the fashions and styles of dresa ia the
past Then mothers always fircawei
tfieir little girls in neat, plain gar
ments and tried to hide their ilates
from sight as much as possible. Now
most mothers dress their little saris
to show as much of their limbs as
possible. Back in the past, grown
women would wear as much as fifty
yards in all their garments to Make
them look large, and after the hoop
skirts came in there was not room
enough at church or hardly in trie
neighborhood for them. Three women
and one man were all that could get
in a two horse wagon to ride. At the
present, everybody can see for them
selves. You can hardly tell a womai
from a man by the cut and style of
her suit. They use about the same
number of yards, the only difference
being one is a double-barrel muule
loader, the other single barrel. Away
back in the past, when the different
churches had their revivals each year,
when the altar calls were made peni
tents would come to the ifttar bow. the
knee and remain in prayer till thw
services were dismissed. Now at the
present, when the preacher makes the
altar call, he tells the penitents v
come, give him their hand, and they
can then go back to their seats; and
this just suits some of the new etyles,
whose wearers could not get down on
their knees. - -

nounced insane. Instead we have
stone, brick and other fire proof chim
neys, lamps, lanterns, electricity, and
great fire insurance campaigns, and
yet we hardly ever read the papers
without seeing an account of some
house being burned up and covered
by so' much insurance. What? In
the past, it was a small job for young
people to walk from three to five
miles on Sunday to preaching. Many
women would carry their shoes and
stockings under their arras and go
barefoot till within sight of the
church and then put them on in order
to save them a long time. Now they
say it's a disgrace either for a woman
to be seen .barefoot or walking any
distance to. church. But it is noth
ing amiss to give a mortgage on the
farm to buy an automobile that is
calculated to scare poor folkks, old
horses and mules to death.
So, taking everything into consid
eration, there is a great difference in
everything in the past and present,
except, in one thin,;, and Ui-t is all
people have in the past, and will now,
die when their breath finally leaves
them.
