FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1917. i When' -"a -battle is a 'live affair it means many people are not. Housekeeping these days is certain ly a science. Wonder who is now commander-in-thief of the Mexican armies? If "they send Vawter to an asylum it should be one for imbecility. "Vive la Amerique!" shouted Joffre. In which we heartily join you, old scout. ."Carranza Take the Oath." But what is more necessary is for him to take Villa. Senator LaFollette may not believe In war, but doesn't he fill the bill for being an .Ex-Plosive? Some one has flung to the breeze the slogan "Sanity First", but isn't tbat but a child-of "Safety First?" ferent parts, the many county units, into a solid mass, that will understand as a whole and move unitedly. Under standing .- the situation is the first essential and unity is the next. These two things when linked together, with the proper energy placed behind them, will bring the desired, the needed re sults. The aim5of the Commission will not only be to see that the ground in New Hanover countyJs tilled, but that it is being prepared to yield the big gest harvest possible and of the most needed foodstuffs, that can be best util ized. Also that canning and preserv ing result. This is one process that has been neglected entirely too long in this county. There?H3hould be more canning. ' Nature has endowed this section with rich soil and a splendid climate. About every type of vege table can be grown and this should not only supply ample seasonable vfg etables, but should allow the cannfng of vegetables and the preserving o fruit. It seems an absurd, a wasteful, extravagant thing to miss chance of canning and preserving, and yet when winter rolls around to purchase goods that have been canned up North. This means that a profit has to be made by the cannery and the seller, and the 'freight charges have to be paid by the I purchaser. This type of vegetables One of the real sorrows in a man's I could be canned in New Hanover or any other county of Eastern North life these days is to discover that he has a hole in his suit of clothes. Speaking about the eternal fitness of things a man named Coffin was tak ing part yesterday in the war council in Washington. When a man always looks on the dark side of life and never likes a joke there is something fundamentally wrong. We don't take much stock in the nows that Obregon will leave Car ranza's cabinet voluntarily. A Mex ican .never.. leaves any thing -fialess he has to. Agricultural leaders probably reckon it that the more food for thought the more food there'll be for the stomach, and we believe they have the right estimate of the situation. Champ Clark in opposing the censor ship bill declared that the newspapers have good intentions. After what the press has been -saying about the Hon. Champ it smacks of coals of fire. Joffre may not be able to speak English and the great majority of peo ple he meets may not be able to speak French but their spirit and object somehow communicate with each other. A news dispatch states that white the entente representatives share the belief of the seriousness of the sub marine warfare they do not deem it fetal. Well, that's something to be thankful for. An exchange bears tidings that new breaches are being made in the Ger man lines by the British. Perhaps, the descendants of the celebrated Loa Ion tailors are at the front. Even if Secretary Lane overdrew -the picture he is right in trying to -impress upon the people that it is bet ter to be an hour too soon if you want to catch a train than a minute too late. Carolina. This is something the people of this section should learn. One of the great lessons the South learned about cot ton has been to have the manufacturing plants on the scene, instead of having them hundreds of miles away. That is one of the essentials of any manu facturing to have the plant near the field of raw production, if possible. The same applies to canning. Why not have the factory on the scene? Why allow shipment of the raw prod uct hundreds of miles, to be converted into the finished, shipped back hun dreds of miles arid purchased at a big profit? Why not eliminate the surplus time and distance and save the un necessary expense? Many a family grumbles in the win ter at the price of canned goods and preserves, when cause of the grum bling is attributable directly to the head of the family or the housewife. They failed to take advantage of the opportunity, afforded to stock the pan try with home made preserves, and vegetables canned at home. What applies to individuals can ap ply to groups of citizens, banded to gether as a company, operating can ning industries, to place goods upon the market, thus accepting opportu nity placed before them. In promoting the canning industry the food commission of New Hanover will accomplish big work. Undoubted ly if this matter is carefully impress ed upon the people, and it is demon strated to them how the vegetables can be utilized in this way, and at small cost, they will awaken to op portunity and build better for them selves and for their children. The county commissioners of New Hanover have shown desire not Only to encourage the propaganda but to help financially, realizing that it is something for the good of the whole. What will help the country is bound to help the city. That is a business law that is immutable. From the farm comes the products upon which the city people depend and the farm ers come to the city to spend their money. - And don't overlook the fact that the ?cold sweet potato, is also powerful pal atableas one's childhood will recall, if he or she had a childhood that was really worth while. KNOWS HOW TO PICK THEM. Developments in the New York trial go to show that' Germany had declar ed war on the laws of the United Stateseven before any semblance of submarine warfare had made itself .'manifest. - The disclosures disgusting and 'tragic of the Vawter case rise as un assailable argument, in behalf of the "bone dry" law. Whatever other ele ments, to debase and disgrace, enter ed into the orgies evidently whiskey provided .the foundation, and was I fmind anions: people, too, who prob-1 appointment rably never sought the' bright lights of j Governor gives strength to the : the saloon. From the Vawter case prohibitionists will obtain strong ar gument. From .it also all who believe in sincerity will et force for support Governor Bickett especially 'shows marked ability in appointment of var ious boards and commissions which have to work to solve modern prob lems or fulfil some trust imposed by legislative enactment. This is again demonstrated in the personnel of the State building commission. To con stitute this body he has named men who are not only in close touch with the business life of the State, but who understand how to do big things; who have done them. The work is of con structive type and the Governor has called upon men of constructive abil uy to perform it. In other words, -the Governor has selected experts to per form the task. By honoring a Wil- mingtonian, Mr. Hugh MacRae. with upon the board the com mission, as Mi. MacRae is a construct ive genius. He will not only add abil ity to the commission, but. capacity, as he is energetic and a vigorous, in- Stories carried to London by Amer icans .who .wefre -passengers on steam ers sunk bv German submarines can 1 I hardly be doubted. There would be4 no reason for these people to exagger ate and London censorship would not unmuzzle items that were not so. The tales hardly alarm, but they must im press people on this side with the seriousness of the situation,, so as to strengthen determination and quicken action. Germany having selected the submarine weapon not only as her greatest but as her only recourse, it is but logical to assume that nearly all of her ship-building power is de voted to construction of submarines. TfteyvCfmbe built in far less time than the big battleships and cost very much less. Time ordinarily consumed for battleship construction when devoted to building submarines will yield many more of the latter and the cost will be less. No doubt, German ingenuity is also bgni Upon . improvement upon the submarine, and while the eyes of a passenger might fool him, when mak ing a guess as to the length of a ship, especially so during a time of excite ment, it would not be at all surprising if the Germans have cruiser subma rines x300 feet in length. Such ships would have great capacity for stores and would thus be in less need of a nearby bSse than the old type of sub-mersibles. . va Ask Grandfather HeU Tefl You a si Strong Asicl Weil Keep your blood pure; that's thb only .vay.

The people of Wil mington can hardly afford to part with the Chautauqua. Not only is it the biggest form of entertainment for the smallest price, but it is educational in fact, often inspiring. 'It is really a wonderful chance, when it is con sidered that each entertainment costs the holder of a season book less than 20 cents. No doubt, ample Wilminf: tonians will be found, when the call is made, to subscribe to the season books, so as to assure the 1918 Chau tauqua. The Columbia Record, editor ially, pays the Chautauqua big tribute as an educational factor and that is really what it is in many respects.
