1 jtf.-, !. r$ - svMi THE MORNING STAB, WILMINGTON, N. C- THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1918. FARM CROPS BREAK RECORD FOR VALUES Total Value This Year Over 12 Billion Dollars. Most Crops Above the Fire-Year Re cord Though Corn Fell Below It High Prices Explain Huge Valuation. Washington, Dec. 11. With a total value of $12,272,412,000 the nation's principal farm crops this year were worth more, based on prices paid to farmers December 1, than in any year In the history of American agriculture, December crop estimates today of the department of agriculture showed that this gear's total exceeds that of the former record year 1211 by $614, 3S0, 000. There also was a marked increase ; in acreage, the 355,895,722 total exceed ; ing that of last year by 10,700,000 acres. These crop figures were looked upon With satisfaction by officials as showing that the nation will be in even a better position to fulfill its pledge of, 20 mil lion tons of foodstuffs to Europe next year than had been expected. Most of the crops are larger than the five-year average and some of them established recoras, particularly spring wheat, barley, rye and tobacco. Corn, however, fell below the five-year aver age. Today's estimates placed the crop at 166,384,090 bushels less than fore cast in November, with total of 2.5S2, 000 bushels. That is almost half a bil lion bushels less than last year's record crop. The wheat crop is larger than the five-year average and almost 300,000, 000 bushels larger than last year's crop, bushels larger than last year's crop, but it is more than 100,000,000 bushels smaller than the record crop of 1915. Almost all of the crops were worth more this year than in any previous year because of the high prices paid to producers. Corn's value was more ' than three and one-half billion dollars, wheat almost two billions, hay and cot ton more than a billion and one-half, and oats more than, a billion. TWO SHIPS IX TROUBLE WITH PAY OF CREWS AND DISCIPLINE Steamer Garmania Puts to Sea With Mutiny Liable to Break Out. Norfolk, Va, Dec. 11. Following fines in the police court this morning and after a hearing before U. S. Ship ping Commissioner Paddison the Amer ican lake steamer Garmania today was forced to sail for Curacao D. W. I., with a crippled fire room crew and those on duty said to be on the verge of mutiny. The men objected to al leged unfair disciplinary measures en forced by Chief Engineer W. F. Banner. Some of the crew deserted here and are being held pending a further hear ing. Trouble is feared at sea. Norfolk, Dec. 11. The 35 members of the crew of the French s'tearrier Buda II with the approval of French Consul "Maurice, today joined in libel suit to enforce the payment of wages, with overtime and bonus, promised in a con tract alleged to have been signed at Iquipue, Chile, but which the captain charges was forced upon him, the men threatening to quit the ship unless the demands were granted. TOBACCO MEN ASTONISHED AT QUANTITY OF WEED OFFERED Warsaw, Dec. 11. Tobacco men ,hemselves are astonished at the quan tities of tobacco that continues to be brought to the' local market this late in the season. After nearly every sale, some difficulty is experienced by the buyers, in clearing the floors for next days sales. Prices are so good, that as soon as farmers have "worked up" a load, they bring it in, leaving their hands to work up another load to be brought in the next day, and so on through the week. However, Hop Wil liams brought 3,170 pounds at one time to the J. H. Carter warehouse for which he received $2,140, at an aver age of $66.90 per hundred. To Avoid and Relieve Influenza v By Dr. Franklin Dnane. , Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influ enza. The more you fear the disease, the surer you are to get it. Go right about your business and forget it. As ihe disease is spread principally by contact through sneezing, coughing or spitting, many health authorities have idvised that everyone wear a gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of :inc sulphate in water, and then dried before wearing over the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, com mon drinking cups and public towels. Keep your strength up by taking lots of exercise in the open air and plen ty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as Chilliness, nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restless ness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed. This will save your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thor oughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non-irritating physic as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of hot lemonade and then 2over up with plenty of clothes in bed eo as to get a good sweat. When sweat ing is free and the fever reduced take a dose or two Anuric Tablets every four hours, followed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the sore ness of the muscles and bones from which most patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the poisons. To relieve nasal obstructions and excessive discharge from the nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It will give great relief. Employed as a gargle, in same strength as made up for use in the nose, and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests coreness and dryness in the throat. Influenza weakens the patient's -resistance to disease, so that there is dan ger of bronchitis and pneumonia devel oping. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength insist that he keep in bed at least two days, probably nothing will at this stage aasten the recovery and strengthen the patient more than an iron-tonic tablet Sailed "Irontic" or that well known erbal tonic, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery, which has been used by thousands in the oast two generations ' -adv. TUT ON THE LID" ONLY WAY TO HANDLE "FLU" One Man in a Movie Show Set a Whole Town Aflre Daring Recent Epi demicAn Object Lesson. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Dec. 11. There has been much argument siuce the outbreak of the. epidemic of influenza on the ques tion of closing ordinances. Many peo ple, especially those whose business suffers adversely, and even a few health officers, have opposed any con trol whatever, further than individual. I Individual control is comparatively I safe in places like New York city where there is a tribe of health officers, inspectors, etc.. but in small places and in the country it is impossible to ac complish much. The most graphic illustration of what it means to lift the ban on public gatherings too early, is contained in a report to the state board of health from one North Carolina county. The moving picture house of a small town in that county resumed its exhibit on the night of Friday, November 29. They had a full house and several peo ple noticed a man ta stranger) in the audience who coughed and snoezed openly several times (investigation later revealed the fact that he had con siderable temperature). That commu nity had entirely escaped the previous epidemic. To make a long story short, by Monday night, December 2, within 72 hours, every family represented at the show had from two to seven mem bers in bed with a severe attack of influenza, the manager himself even not escaping. The very same results may follow any public gatherings, church and courts not excepted. This instance serves to illustrate the fact that the situation is by no means satisfactory anywhere in the state. With the most active efforts on the part of responsible authorities and the people themselves there will continue to be much danger until the advent of hot weather, when everybody can get out of doors. N. C. METHODISTS IN YEARLY CONFERENCE (Continued from Page One.) Rev. Dr. W. G. Cram, missionary to Korea; Dr. G. B. Winton, of the Cen tenary missionary movement; Rev. Julius McGaffe, a missionary to the Jews, and Rev. J. S. Hunter, of the Methodist publishing house, Richmond, Va., were introduced to the conference by Bishop Darlington. Rev. L. S. Massey was recognised and read the report of th,e board of publication. The report showed that the stock of the Raleigh Christian Ad vocate had been taken over by the conference and about $5,000 raised with which to purchase and pay for the stock. Quite a heavy loss of sub scribers resulted from the postal reg ulations forbidding subscribers to be carried beyond the time of paid-up subscriptions. Rev. G. T. Adams submitted the re port of the Greensboro College for Wo men. It was referred to the board of education. Rev. M. T. Plyler. of Wilmington, gave his report of the summer school at Trinity college for young ministers which was held last summer. The school did a very fine work and was well attended. Dr. H. A. Boaz, secretary of church extension, addressed the conference. Great progress was reported in this all important work of the church. A lit tle more than half a million dollars was raised during the past quadren nium. Within the past six months more than $100,000 have been donated to the loan fund. Question 19 was called and the fol lowing were continued in the super numerary relations: W. H. Townsend, R. W. Townsend and J. O. Guthrie. The 20th question, "Who are super annuated?" was called and the bishop called the conference to prayer for Dr. A. D. Betts, the oldest member of conference, the bishop himself leading in one of the most earnest and touch ing prayers ever delivered before the conference. His name with the fol lowing was referred to the committee on conference relations for the super annuate relation: T. J. Browning, J. D. Langston, T. P. Bonner, W. A. Forbes, M. A. Smith, P. Greening. C. C. Brothers, T. J. Dailey, C. W. Smith, M. D. Giles. D. P. Parker, B. C. Allred, H. E. Tripp. J. M. Louder, J. A. Lee and J. M. Benson. The bishop an nounced that these veterans of the cross had the right of way. Some verses from the old hymn, "How firm a foundation," was sung. Reports were made by some of these heroes, and the conference was deeply moves as they related the experiences and the hopes of the future. Rev. A. S. Barnes, superintendent of the Methodist orphanage, made report as to the work at that institution. He reported that he had taken care of more children this year than ever in th,e history of that institution, and that more money had come into the hands of the treasurer than ever be fore in one year since he had been at the head. A total of $67,000 had been received. Question 22 was called, "Are all the preachers blameless in their lives and official administration?" and the names of the presiding elders were called and they made their reports. All of them indicate that this has been a year of great progress both spiritually and materially had been made. A number of new houses of worship have been erected or finished; salaries of the pastors raised and a great many over paid. Two or three of the elders re ported that every claim on their dis tricts had been paid in full. No. 21 was called, "Who have died during the year?" and the names of C. E. Vale, C. O. Armstrong, W. H. Kirton and E. E. Rose, who had died during the year, were referred to the committee on memoirs. Rev. J. C. Wooten read the report of the Mutual Fire Insurance society, and it was referred to the board of church extension. Rev. Julius McGaffe, addressed the conference in behalf of the Hebrews, and charged the conference and other Christian bodies of neglecting to send the gospel of Christ to that race of people and asked that his people be remembered.

Evidence to show that planning of an "underground rail way" to MexiSo so that draft evaders might seek sanctuary in the southern republic, and similar activities design ed to embarass the United States in the prosecution of the war, was prom ised by Joseph B. Fleming, assistant district attorney, in his opening ad dress to the jury completed today at the trial of Victor L. Berger, congressman-elect of Milwaukee and four other socialists on a charge of conspiracy under the espionage act. "V ' Mr. Fleming devoted some time to the young people's socialistic league, of which W. F. Kiruse, a defendant, was secretary.. Its main object, he averred, was to discourage men from joining the army and he charged that at a convention of the league in Chi cago in May, 1A17, a resolution was passed calling upon: its members to refuse to register on June 6V 1917. "One of the most active at the con vention," said Mr. Fleming, "washer man Bosler,- now interned at- Fort Oglethorpe. The evidence will show that he and Kruse planned an 'under ground' to Mexico." . . the results following its use are often Simply astonishing. , Weak, tired people regain strength and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and gloom: dull eyes become bright, and pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink glow "of health.
