When the American soldiers go to battle th- will be found to have a calm fdid constant courage against the Jhilitant German, who will only Ins ire them with greater efforts. Xotbwithstanding the fact that the officials in this country are iwlling to give the Pope's note due considera tion the work of preparedness goes steadily on. Nothing Germany can do will put a let up in the prepared ness program except the laying down of arms. From all reports the "'Sammies re in fine spirits and are ready to Jelp the English and the French to scale the walls of the German battle ments and to drive the hitherto vic torious Germans from the soil of Belgium and France and thereby ac complish that which will not only 'mean the restoration of part of France and Belgium, but much to tbe civilization and progress of world. the SAYS WHOLE-WHEAT FLOl 'H IS XOT WHOLESOME. To the Editor of The Gazette: I notice an article appearing un der date of July 1'tith in our Xorth Carolina papers crediting Mr. John Paul Lucas as deprecating the use or white flour and suggesting trie use or whole wheat flour instead. If this is correct, Mr. Lucas seems to be deal ing with a popular theory rather than facts. Xo doubt too the physician may be very "confident" of certain results, yet today the whole world is looking for any positive information he may have on the subject. Anoth er physician recently found some adulterated flour, yet he was not able to claim a standing reward of $1,000 by furnishing proof of the fact. I am Tery much interested in flour and I would be very glad to know where Mr. Lucas gets his informa tion. It would not be sufficient to quote Dr. Wiley, Alfred McCann and others already discredited on the sub ject. Instead, I prefer to believe Ar thur G. Hemsley an English engineer who said on July 18th that the hos pitals of Liverpool were filled with people suffering from eating war bread, made from wheat of a high extraction, containing bran. Prof. Harry Snyder, who knows about all there is to know about flour, says: "White bread is the best war bread." Drs. Frank Emmons and Chidlow are in the same class with Dr. Sny der and they know that all this fool ish condemnation of white bread is all rot. People who return from England today report that the bread sold in that country compares in no way from point of food value or di gestibility with the white bread of America and there is a universal de mand for a lower extraction because there is no more reason for a human to use bran as a diet than No. 1 Tim othy hay. It is a matter or common knowledge that the French army is not on war bread and we are no: go ing to eat it either. You will find many people wlio agree with Mr. Lucas hut '.' ier cent of them have arrived at their conclusions from "hearsay" evident, the other 1 per cent can't prove that Whole wheat Hour should To adopted in this country because the matter has not been demonstrated Where whole wheat flour suits one person, it would put I11 others in the ho-;.U-al. causing vomiting, hemorrhage dysentary. etc Yours trulv, FLOIR.

This is a short-sighted poli cy, and the prosperity not only or our rural sections but of our cities and towns as well is being throttled by its operation. "The big essentials are: " First, a disposition to give tne farmer a square deal, to give hlni prefeience over the farmers or tne Central West. and. "Second, warehouse space and equipment for shelling corn, grading and cleaning corn, wheat, oats, peas beans and other products and for baling hay. "Merchants have excused them selves for their failure to develop ; market in the past by the statement that the farmer did not have hi. corn, for instance, properly gradeii or even shelled, perhaps. The farm er who has a surplus of only 2 to I'imi or uiiO bushels of corn cannot afford to purchase shellers and grad ers for so small an amount, yet the possibilities of production lie with the farmers of this class. 1 lie mer chant must provide the shellers and graders. "The fact that the farmers will ap preciate and utilize a lair and ade quate market has been demonstrated even in the South, too often to be questioned. Gainesville, Fla.. is a fair example. Here a market was es tablished by a Xorth Carolinian, by the way, and was able to purchase from the farmers of the community three carloads of corn and two car loads of hogs, among other things the first year. The second year the farmers of the community produced and sold JO carloads of corn and 19 carloads of hogs. That was last year This year an increase of more than KM) per cent above these figures is looked for. What was done at Gaines vine, t la., can be duplicated at al most any county seat in Xorth Caro lina while large markets should be a normal development in Wilmington, Charlotte, Raleigh, Ashevllle, Win ston-Salem, Greensboro and possibly a few other of the larger business centers of the State. Director B. W. Kilgore of the Agri cultural Extension Service has ad dressed a letter to 3,000 bankers and merchants of the State, calling atten tion to, and embracing, the state ment of the Food Commission. Con fidence is expressed that these men will rise to the situation and see to it that b'etter markets are provided than have heretofore been available. MOVEMENT OF PAHS. XEEH OF FAIK MARKETS. Special to The Gazette. RALEIGH, Aug. KI. .agricultural development That and the the prosperity of North Carolina are be ing held back by the lack of an ade quate ana iair system or markets ror corn, wheat, oats ha, beans and Other staple food and feed t-tuff Is a striking declaration in a statement issued by the State Food Conserva tion Commission to the supply nier- ' chants, bankers and other business men of the State. The Food Commission for several weeks has recognized the great eco nomic importance of adequate mar kets, not only as a means of meeting the present emergency but a-ia ne cessity under normal conditions. We cannot expect our farmers to di rersify their agriculture andVraise a : surplus of corn, wheat, oats, nay and other crops unless they can sell these products at fair and equitable pri ces," say the statement, "In spite of (his Tery evident fact, however, it is a notorious fact that in tbe majori ty of cities and towns In this State the merchants have been ' prone to take advantage of the absence of such markets and purchase the small ' amount of products offered on a long j Railroads Making: Heroic Efforts lo Prepare for the Increase! De mand on Their Rolling Stock :y Movement of Government Ship ments of Various Kinls. Special to The Gazette. WASH1XGTOX, D. C, Aug. lfi. To facilitate the prompt movement of grain and food products as well as lumber and munitions the Car Serv ice Commission of the Railroads' War Board has ordered the Immedi ate distribution of 20,790 additional empty cars among the lines operat ing in the South, the middle West and the Southwest. This will make a to tal of 1 06.033 smpty cars that have been ordered moved, one railroad to another regardless of ownership dur ing the past two months In order to mobilize in different sections of the country sufficient number or cars to handle the abnormal government and commercial traffic that war condi tions have produced. Of the latest cars ordered by the War Board to be distributed where they will be most needed, 7, 800 are to be placed in the grain producing country, 1,000 of these go to the Southern Pacific and "00 to the Wes tern Pacific to insure the speedy movement of a huge shipment of bar ley. Other roads receiving cars to accelerate the movement of grain and farm products are the Missouri, Kan sas & Texas, the Missouri & Xorth Arkansas, the Kansas City Mexico & Orient, the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash, the Xashville Chattanooea & Saint Iouis, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Illinois Central and the St. Louis & San Francisco. To protect the vegetable and sou thern watermelon crops, more than ."i.imhi cars have been sent to the At lanta Birmingham & Atlantic, the Central of Georgia, the Seaboard Air Kl ine, the Atlantic Coast Line and other roads operating in the South east. .Meanwhile hundreds of cars are being rushed daily to the lumber states of the South to take care of the tremendoti-i movement or lum ber to the army antonmonrs and shiiihuildinir yards. In addition to the demand lumber the war has practically bled the orders for phosphate durins the past three months. product, which is essential to the op eration of sulphuric acid plants and the manuiacture of munitions, is a so used as a foundation for fertilizer. In the pa-t. the coastwise vessels car ried a lar?e volume of it but with the reduction in the number of vessels used for freight purposes along the coast, practically all of this traffic has been diverted to the Atlantic Coast railroads and as a result it has been necessary to send thousand of cars in that district. To protect the movement of sul phur for the munition factories Tiun dreds these cars have heen ordered to ine Kansas ( lty Southern, the .southern Pacific and the Gulf Coast Line. t .i . i man a inousanu stock ars have also been sent into Texas to en aloe ine cattle raisers there to get their herds into the western pasture country.

The following from The Ashevilie Citizen will be of interest to many of our readers, the bride being a sis ter of Mrs. Mc. G. Anders, Mrs. J. D. Rankin and Mrs. David P. Dellinger: "A very beautiful wedding was solemnized Wednesday night, Aug. lo, at 9 o'clock, in the Newtonian hall at Rutherford College, w hen Miss Pearl Abernethy became the wife of Lieut. B. L. Smith. The hall was beautifully decorated in green palms and ferns and pink and white, the colors of the Xewtonian Literary society, of which Mr. Smith was a member. Before the ceremony, "Venetian Ixve Song," by Xevin, was played on the piano by little Miss Ruth Rankin, of Bessemer City, a niece of the bride. Then as the bridal chorus from Ixihengrin was played by Miss Rankin, Rev. J. E. Aberne thy, pastor of Central Methodist church, of Monroe, who read the vows, entered down the center aisle. Mr. Abernethy was followed by Lieut. Smith and his best man. Rev. W. E. Myers, of Graham. The little ringbearer, lovely in white and pink ribbons, carrying the ring on a lilly, was Thelma Goode. She was fol lowed by the bride and mabj of hon or. Miss Genie Rutherford, who was gowned in white net with pink geor gette crepe, wearing a picture hat of pink georgette crepe and lace, .he carried pink asters. The bride was lovely in white crepe de chine and satin en train with flowing veil and carrying white rose buds with lilies. After the impressive ring service the bridal party marched out to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. "Mrs. Smith is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. S. Abernethy. The groom is the son of Mr. W. mith, of Caldwell county. He is an honor graduate of Trinity and has been at Fort Oglethorpe this summer, where he won the commission of second lieutenant of the cavalry. Mr. and Mrs. Smith held a recep tion to their friends, at the bride's home, after the ceremony, after which they took a car for Hickory. They will spend their honeynrrton In Hendersonville and Chimney Rock during Mr. Smith's furlough, when he will be sent to one of the training camps. "Out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. J. I). Rankin and family, of Bessemer City, and Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Dellinger. of Cherry ville; Miss Ethel Abernethy, of Charlotte; Miss Gertrude Taylor, of Rutherfordton ; Mrs. John Puett. of Dallas; Mr. W. X. Rhyne. of Walnut Cove; Mr. H. E. Myers, of Graham; Captain C. G. Falls, of Mooresville; Prof, and Mrs. Smith, of Ienoir; Messrs. Herbert and Lloyd Smith, of Lenoir." Even the fat man at 4 0 is not ir reparable if he is still free from the onset of degenerative diseases, sucti as hardening of the arteries, heart diseases, Brlght's disease, etc. He may never be able to lick a Jess Wil lard or win an athletic championship for the simple reason that he has liv ed short on exercise and long on ap petite, but by adopting a rational plan of living proper diet, exercise. rest and freedom from alcoholic and other harmful ind uleentt ies he mav live yet L'u years. .', or even to tie twice his present age and keep In useful service.
