Improved Methods at South port Plant. War Prices Are Encouraging. (Special Star Correspondence.) Southport, Sept. 25. The Southport Pish Scrap and Oil Company, whoae Plant is on the Elizabeth river, below this city, has put Into operation what Is termed a Scrap Dryer, its name well signifying what i tls Intended to no, namely, take the acidulated or sour fish scrap, carry it through a process of complete drying out. and then carried through successive cuttings of ohop Pings into a fineness that the "buyer may desire. This drying out and re ducing the size of the fish In the scrap, makes a much more valuable product for the company, as it goes co the fer tilizer people In condition to be read- worked into the mercantile article tor farm use. With this dryer there can be han dled daily 300,000 menhaden, equal to 2l to 30 tons of scrap. In the rough r sour scrap, it is estimated there are S 000 fish to the ton. In the drying Process it is figured 13,000 fish to the ton-- This more finished process, through the dryer recently installed; and by the way, the only one in op eration on the lower Cape Fear, adds about twin. tViA traliia nar ' ton tO the scrap as it goes from the plant. The greatly added value of oil and fish scrap this . season is making the greatest difference to theflsherraen In the increase of wages, where wages not sharing in the oatch Is the rule of the company operating the steamers. A1so. In the fishing smacks, there is the nore money, where the men receive their pay as per number of pogie taught. The increased prices at whloh 011 and scrap are selling this yer makes It only necessary that the fish ermen catch a third to one-half the Quantity as in former years to equal the returns of those years, while with regular catches it means Just twice fnd more profit to the plants operating-.

PERFORMANCE OF THE DORT. High Mileage and Low Gasoline in Remarkable Test Run. In a field of 14 well known cars, classified Into three groups based on price, the Dort has carried away the big honors In an extraordinary gaso line eeonomv run from Los Angeles to Camp Curry in the Yosemite National Park, a distance of 370 miles. flvpr this stra-tch of country, the lit tle Dort consumed but 14 1-2 gallons of gas, an average of 25.96 miles per gallon being made. Its nearest com petitor, a car weighing ten pounds less, consumed one gallon more than the Dort. In the two classes above $1,000 in nrioe. the Monroe and Franklin cars won the honors and each of the three winners was presented with a hand some cup as a trophy of their respec tive achievements. One hundred miles of this run was up steep mountain grades, and the rest of It across the San Joaquin valley, under tA terrific heat of the summer sun. The first part of the journey from Loa Angeles to Bakersfleld, a distance oi 124, miles, over the Ridge road, was made on four gallons of gasoline, or an. average of over 31 miles on a gallon;, but this grand average was cut down by the heat, so that when the sturdy Dort pulled into Fresno the observer's score- card showed that the Dort had maintained a gasoline mileage of 29 1-8 miles to the gallon, the lowest of any oar on tho run yet the Dort was not the lightest nor the smallest oar in the race, according to reports. Leaving the control bright and early the next morning for the last leg of the pourney to Yosemite, L, J. Bur rud, at the wheel of the Dort, was de termined to maintain his lead, and when the final checking was made at Camp Curry, the Dort showed that it used but 14 3-4 gallons of gasoline on the entire trip, maintaining an aver age of 25 1-2 miles to the gallon a wtiole gallon lose than its nearest com potitor. It la not' right for the average owner to expect to secure such a high aver age per gallon, says Burwell-Walker Company, distributers, Charlotte, N. C because only an experienced driver who can take the advantage of every down grade can get the most miles per gal lon. However, many of our owners are getting from 23 to 26 miles to the gallon in general use, whlcn Is" very good, considering the low grade of fuel, which we are forced to use at the present time. BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUB EXHIBITS ABE WANTED Shipments In Solid Car From Each County to the State Fair Suggest ed by Mr. Oliver. (Special Star Correspondence) West Raleigh, Sept. 25. A plan suggested by Mr. A. G. Oliver, Poul try Club Agent of the Agricultural Extension Service, calls for the ship ping of exhibits by members of the boys' and girls' agricultural clubs to the State Fair in a solid car from each county. It is Mr. Oliver's idea that the boys and girls can make exhibits of their poultry, canned products, nigs, corn, etc., at the community fairs, then at the county fair, and then have the exhibit shipped in a solid car to the State Fair. This plan has been meeting with marked favor in all of the counties where it has been sug gested; and, in a number of cases, all business organizations of the counties have taken up the matter of financing the freight charges. The agents in charge of the boys' and girls agricultural club work have tried to get the transportation com panies to allow the exhibits from these juvenile club members to come to the State Fair free of charge. This has been refused. It would be a good advertisement for each countq. Mr. Oliver thinks, to have a solid carload of material come in with a larger banner on the side, showing from whence it pa me. The car could be pro duced on a certain date and the mem bers who have exhibits ould be there with their material to aid in loading it and ship the car on its way. On arrival at the State Fair there would be no confusion in regard to loss of exhibits or delay in transportation, and the various departments could have their exhibit material taken from the car and put in place with a minimum amount of time and worry. Iredell was the first county visited by Mr. Oliver and he states he feels very much encouraged from the re ception received there. He met with the Commercial Club, and although a few members were present, he was assured that Iredell would raise funds in some manner to defray the ex penses of a reputable exhibit. While in the ounty, Mr. Oliver went about with County Agent G. E. Dull and visited many of the poultry club boys and girls, helping them to select-their birds to be exhibited. Acording to Mr. Oliver, every farm and club member is urged to get ready for making an exhibit at the State Fairs, and every citizen should do something to Insure that a repre sentative exhibit will be sent to Ral eigh. There is no better plan of get ting a reputable exhibit, especially on the part of the young people, than by some business organization getting behind the movement to have a car load of material go from each county. CAROLINA STUDENTS TO LEARN MODERN WARFARE Men Will Start Trench Digging Tomor row and Will Later Take Up Target Practice. BUY NATURAL IRON IFIN NEED OF TONIC Go to Drug; Store Get a Bottle of Concentrated Acid Iron Mineral. Non-Alcoholic Natural Iron ; (Special Star Correspondence.) Chapel Hill, N. C, Sept. 25. The realities of modern warfare will be brought still more closely to the new military companies of the University of North Carolina on Thursday, when Capt. J. Stuart Allen will start the men digging their first trenches. All the mysteries of barbed wire entangle ments, bombing, etc., will be taught and the conditions will approximate as j closely as possible those of the battle-j field. Target practice will also begin at an early date, and the men taking i the training here will be able to qual- j ify as marksmen of various grades. j The special lectures of Captain Al- len are attracting great interest on , the part of faculty and students. His first hand knowledge of all the prob lems of modern warfare and his pleas ant and entertaining manner of speech have made his lectures looked forward to. His last lecture was concerned with the supplying of ammunition to troops in the field; the nature of at tacking raids; methods of protection fro mair attacks; the long marches to billets and the heavy loads carried by each man; the methods and artifices of spies and cautions to be observed, etc. The lecture was illustrated with black board drawings and diagrams. A speoial class for non-commissioned officers was begun last night. No per manent officers have as yet been ap pointed, but many men with some mil itary experience have been found and these are now oeing tfied out in the various positions. The drill still con sists largely of the movements of the squad and platoon. The drill will from this time on be held every other morn ing ,and tw ohours every other after noon. This will permit o ftime for athletics on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons, with nine hours military drill a week and three of milB tary lectures. Though the new training ing is quite severe, no one has been heard to complain, and the esprit de corps so far is excellent. Juet plain, old fashioned Iron, with out a single drop of alcohol or laxa tive of any kind, has built weakened, run-down people up and brought the rich, red blood back for millions of people, and doctors all over the world have prescribed it. Just iron it is iron that builds you up and puts the rose in the cheeks of women and makes heartier, stronger, more ener getic men just plain, medicinal iron, as Nature herself has compounded it, then highly concentrated, tested and bottled under the name of Aacid Iron Mineral. Acid Iron Mineral is of course more economical than other prepared iron tonics, yet it is stronger, goes far ther and contains no alcohol or laxa tive to derange or affect the system. Iron Has Many Uses. . Iron has many uses when highly concentrated as Acid Iron Mineral. A teaspoonful in a glass of drinking wa ter makes a delightful, unusually in vigorating tonic, blood medicine, ap petizer and remedy for indigestion. It will not injure teeth, cause consti pation or harm the most delicate stomach. ' Used externally, It stops bleeding, acts as a healing agent, preventing soreness and festering. Is an anti septic and germicide too, and old sores, pimples, soTes on the scalp, etcT are quickly relieved without the use of anything else besides Acid Iron Mineral. People with sore, bleeding gums, dilute a tablespoon of Acid Iron Mineral in a glass of water and use it as a mouth . wash exactly as den tisits do to stop bleeding and prevent infection when extracting teeth. A child with sore or wound; a cut in camp, at the shore, at home or abroad, needs nothing else. Just put enough on the cut to completely cover it and Acid -Iron Mineral does the rest. Acid Iron Mineral comes from the only medicinal iron mineral deposit of its kind in the world. Analysis proves it contains in-addition to iron in three forms, calcium, sodium, potassium and free sulphuric acid. Ask your doctor if a combination of these elements hasn't wonderful medicinal value. No chemist has so far been able to du plicate Acid Iron Mineral, which, like radium, is another of Nature's phe nomena. Most druggists have it in 50 cent and $1 bottles. The lessors of the deposit, the Ferrodine Chemical Corp., of Roanoke, Vtu, will send a large bot tle anywhere prepaid upon receipt of Sl-00. Note: The iron having an astrin gent, healing effect, to some seems to contain alum, but such is not the case. Whole families use it. No home should be without It. If being used for stomach, kidney, digestion or blood troubles,' and the bowels are not regular, we recommend that you procure a 25 cent box of A-I-M Pills also. ' Gathright Is Acquitted. Richmond, Va., Sept. 25. Basil H. Gathright, a prominent farmer of Cold Harbor, was acquitted in the Cir cuit Court of Hanover county today of the charge of having murdered George Tombs." The slayer pleaded self-defense. Tombs was killed after he had beaten Mrs. Gathright into insensibil ity for resenting a remark alleged to have been made by him concerning her. The killing followed a day after the attack on Gathright's wife. Chiropractic News WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC t Kl-ro-prak-tik ) It Is Not Medicine Not Surgery; Not Osteopathy. It is a scientific method of adjust ing the cause of disease without drugs or instruments, based on a correct knowledge of anatomy, and especially the nervous system. The Chiropractic idea is that the cause of disease is in the person afflicted, and the adjustment in correcting the wrong that is producing it. The function of every organ in the body is controlled by mental impulses from the brain, which it transmits through the nerves. Any impinge ment of these nerves interfering with the transmission of mental impulses results in an abnormal function called disease. This In terference is produced by subluxat ed vertebrae pressing upon nerves as they pass out from the spinal cord. The trained adjuster is able to lo cate the point of obstruction or in terference, and by means of adjust ing the subluxated vertebrae cor rects the cause, and normal condi tions or health is the result. ' Investigation costs nothing, and means health and happiness. Consultation and Analysis Free (Continued tomorrow) G. C. ELLIOTT, D. C. (Licensed Doctor of Chiropractic) Office Hours: lO to 12 A.
