Nine clieose factories have been established in the western part of North Carolina since the work was begun in 1914, This is one of the most surprising develop ments of the whole work of the Animal Industry Division of the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. Before the work was uiuler taken, the whole State of North Carolina was producing only about 30,000 pounds of cheese and this was made in the homes at differ ent parts of the State. The fac tories which have been established are now making more than that and at a good piofit. The liltlu factory at Grassy Creek made 12,350 pounds of cheese from July 13, I'JIS, to Janu uary 14, 1910. The Cove Creek factory made almost 15,000 pounds up to the same date. When it is realized that these little factories cost from S4OO to SBOO, a good idea is obtained* relative to the amount of busings which can be built up around a small equip ment of this kind. The farmers in these cheese communities are also building silos a-nd spring houses. The men of the Extension Service are giv ing them as much assistance as is possible but one of the greatest difficulities connected with tbo work is in finding men sufficiently trained to man the factories after they have been established. In most cases it has been necessary to take some man in the neighbor hood and train him in the work. This naturally takes much of the time of the specialists in charge of the work and it cannot go for ward very fastly until the supply of men to run them exceeds the supply of factories. Realizing this, the Animal In dustry Department of A. & M. College has now organized a course of special instruction in cheese making, the obj ict of which is to assist those wishing to prepare themselves for positions in cheese factories. The work will consist principally of instruction in cheese making and cheese factory man agement. Twelve factories have lieen built in the la»t eighteen mouths and more are now under course of construction, so a good opportunity is open for young men in these cheese factory sec tions. The course this season will open on January It!, 1917, and close on March 3, 1917. It is intended to give instruction to any one wish ing to study the making of cheese and cheese factory management, aud is limited tostudents hi years of age aud older. It is expected that the course will bo very val uable to those men who are think ing of building a cheese factory whether they are to have active charge of it or not. SALARY INCREASE FOR STATE OFFICERS. Mr. Arrington, Lalely Resigned From Treasurer's Office, Slates Reasons. Ualeigh News aud Observer. Because capita! cities are costly to IfV'e in aud far more than ordi narily so for State officers, an ef fort will be made iu the next General Assembly to raise salaries of euch officers and their clerks. Tho Governor, it is declared, should receive >7,500, as much as a Congressman, and the other elective officers should get $4,500, except Supreme Court Justices, who should get $5,000. In addi tion, it is argued, tlierfe should be a blanket provision catling for a raise of 25 percent, ill the salaries and wages of all other State em ployes. State legislators aro receiving letters lo this effect from Mr. A H. Arrington, who lately resigned his position iu the State Treas urer's office to lake up a private business. Says Mr. Arriugton: "Having resigned my position in the State Treasury Department to engage in private business, and therefore being in a position to do so without my motive buing ques tioned, I make the following ap peal to the Legislature of tho -State on behalf of the employes of tho State government from Governor down, who are all put to it to live on their present salaries on account of the tre mendous increase in the cost of living and the fact that they are liviug on salaries fixed ten years ago, when the cost of liviug was 40 per cent leas than it is today. "It is well known that all capi tal cities are costly to live in. Aud for State officers it is far more costly than for any one else for four reasons: First, they are ex pected to live in a way to uphold the dignity ol the State; second, they are required to do a large amount of entertaining; third, they are eftHed upon, by reason of their position, to contribute to the building of churches, schools and for all charitable purposes; fourth, they have to put up large sums of money to conduct a cam paign for primary nomination aud eontrbuto to the campaign fund for re-election Clyde 11. Enloe, administrator of U. F. Enloe, has brought suit in Buncombe Superior Court against the Southern Railway Company, M. W. Yoder and J. G. McGalliard for $50,000 on account of the death of B, F. Enloe, who was killed in a wreck at Biltmore several months ago. Coal cars broke loose on a grade, four miles above Biltmore and crashed into a work train of which Enloe was engiuoer. Yoder and McGalliard were brakemen on tho train from which the coal cars escaped. One suspects from the various cabinet changes that the entente allies have )'ust begun to fight. ; | Educational Column Conducted z ; I by Supt. J. B. Robertson. i What the Teacher Can Do to Get the Student to Study 1. Put the pupil into tho proper grade. If the pupil is in too low a grade be does not need to study and neither does he find any interest in old stories; if he is in too high a grade the way is too dark and the load too heavy he dreads them and slums them. 2. Maintain the most friendly delation with the student aud show a personal interest in him. 3. Teach the pupil how to study—begin at* the beginning make clear and sure the funda mental parts—analyze the subject let it unfold in the mind as you consider it —ask and answer when, 1 where, what and why? See the parts and then the whole, see t lie | wliole aud then the parts. Teach ( the pupil to find the leading thought and then to see the sup plementary thoughts in their re lation to the leading thought. Teach the student to see the logic and the cause of the things that are. 4. Assign the lesson properly. (n) Assign it specifically and care fully. (b) Give enough of the new lesson in terms of the old to introduce tho student to the new aud do it in such a way as to arouse the student's interest in it (c) Talk up the lesson, (d) Do not tell tho story of the lesson arid hence make it old before it is new, but pour a sweetened quart of the lesson into the Mudeut when you assign the lesson that you may get him to study aud so you can get two gallons from him when you have hiin recite, (e) Tell exactly how you expect the lesson lo be recited. (Let there be ex actness' aud business in your methods and the child will be.in to take an interest in his busi ness and study). (f) Let the pupil know that you are going lo expect hiin to know it— if neces sary require certain parts or all the lesson to be brought to class prepared in written form. 5 Get up friendly and whole some rivalry in tho class-let the girls recite in contest with the boys—let the class be divided iuto "A" and "15" sections and go after lesson by lesson in warm cou test. 0. Conduct the recitation so the student will have to kuow the h'sson or show up to bad ef fect. 7. Inspiro and encourage the pupil to want to know someth ing, to want lo do something aud to want to be something. 5. Make the joy of knowing so rich and so thrilling and so good that the student will get so hun gry and so thirsty for knowledge that he will go about seeking it aud study. North Carolina Forestry Association. The Seventh Annual Conven tion of the North Carolina For estry Association will be held iu lUleigh, Wednesday and Thurs day, January 24 and 25, 1917, probably immediately following the Social Service Conference. Make your plans now for attend ing this important convention . The question of what the State is to do'to prevent the destruction of its forest* is now no longer looked upon as a problem to be left to the landowner or the legis lature; but, like the good roads is recognized as one which concerns the whole people, aud must lie dealt with I'y them, looked at in this light, the com ing meeting of the Forestry As sociation in Raleigh, while the General Assembly is in session, assumes large importance. Last spring, forest llres destroy ed four million dollars worth of property in this State; should not the State endeavor to prevent this loss, not only for the good of pos terity, but for the benefit of the preseut generation ? Lumber prices add to the high cost of liv ing How can they go down when so much timber is being destroyed and so little young growth, upon which our future supply depeuds, allowed to escape the fire? Besides forest protection, a num ber of other Important phases ol forestry will be discussed.. The question of the manufacture of paper from pulp woods aud the establishment of pulp mills will bo dealt with by an expert along, this line. This is one of the big problems we are facing today, of equal interest to the timlier owner and the user of namely, the general public As yet we do not know what is the best method of securing ade quale reproduction ol longleaf. loblolly, or shortlcaf pine in North Carolina. The State, recognizing its duty to help the people solve this and siinil-tr problems, has already Girted an Experiment Forest in the Sandhill regiou, and others will IK* established as op portunity offers. Kxperts are lieinir Invited to speak along these and oilier lines, and it is expected that the con vention vfill give expression to the growing demand for a con structive State forest policy. The llahlt ol Taking Cold. With many people taking cold is Habit but fortunately one that is easily broken. Take a cold sjionge b:ith every morning when you first get out of bed—not ice cold, but a temperature of about 90 deg. F. Also sleep with your window Up. Do this and you will seldom take cold. When you do take cold take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and get rid of it as quickly as pos sible. Obtainable everywhere. adv. Mr. Asquith refuses to be an earl.

Baffling Eye Affections, Joint Ail ' merits, and Even Appendici tis Accounted For. DOCTORS ADMIT LAY WISDOM ' High Priest* of Medicine No Longer j Regard Patlent'e Dlagnoala as Mere | Superstition—Tonsils and Teeth at Bottom. of Trouble. New York. —Recent experiments. In vestigations, and experimental treat ' merit In the domains of medicine and surgery have led to a solution of many af the hitherto puzzling problems of medical science. Physicians are be ginning to realize that inuny general constitutional disturbances which buf llt'd their skill are still due to small local foci of Infection. When these tire removed their patients soon re cover, sometimes, indeed, with aston ishing rapidity. How recent the realization of the real solution of these medical mys teries Is may be judged from the fol lowing editorial comment in the New York Medical Journal: "For many years It wfas thought that we wert; well acquainted with bac teria and their vagaries, but recently we have discovered that there remains much to be learned. Of the various activities of bacteria the most interest ing at present is that of the so-called focal infection. By this Is meant a small, more or less quiescent point of discuse, which, although it causes no local disturbance, gives rise to symp toms elsewhere In the body. Most Important Manifestation. "Probably the most important of these manifestations ie the involve ment of the various Joints of the body. If we pick up our textbooks to read about 'arthritis, the chances are that we shall be much discouraged, not only by the unfavorable prognosis, but also by our Inability to determine the cause. "Since the work of Rosenow and others, however, we are fast realizing that a small collection of bacteria may be responsible for the Joint condition, and we are also discovering the fact that the only way to accomplish much good Is to attack the primary focus. "At present the capable physician is no longer content to give antipyrethlcs In expectation of a tsarvelous cure. If a patient now gives a history of chronic and painful joints, the first thought of his physician should be focal Infec tion. To determine the presence or absence of such u condition Is not al ways an easy tusk, and outside aid, particularly the Roentgen ray, will have to be called upon. Tonsil* and Teeth. "The tonsils may be diseased, or, what Is very common, there may be In fection at the roots of the teeth. This lust Is n frequent condition and may be present without local Indications. It Is also Interesting to note that many Inflammatory conditions of the eye are directly referable to dental Infection*. This has long been recog nized by the lalty, but the Idea was considered to be tnere superstition by the medical high priests. "After removal of the focal Infec tion the patient's rupld recovery, In many Instances, Is little short of mar velous. In most cases no further treat ment seems to be necessary, the Joints cense to be painful, and the convales cent goes on his way rejoicing. "That bacteria In the foci cause the distant lesion has been proved so many times that there enn npw be no doubt us to the causal relation. The isoluted organftms, when Injected Into experimental animals, show a special affinity for tissues similar to those In volved In the original Instance. A Joint will be attneked, an eye become In volved, even the appendix will suc cumb, according to the affinity shown in the first case. "The more thoroughly the matter Is Investigated, the clearer It becomes that focal Infection seems to explain satisfactorily certain of the hitherto unsolved problems of medicine." STOP WAR DRAFT "DOPING" British Government to Punish Men Who Drug Themselves to Es cape Army Bervloe. London.—lt will now be an offense to Injure oneself In order to escape military service.

WILLING TO WORK OVERTIME Railroad Legislation and Revenue De ficit Are Unueual Issues—Army and Navy Supply Bill* and Military Training Demand Attention. Washington.—Members of Congress returned to Washington from their Chlrstmas holiday, prepared to get down to hard work on the accumula tion of legislation that must be dealt wlfh before adjournment on March 4. With railroad legislation aad reve nue deficits confronting them as un usual Issues, the rank and file deter mined to labor with a will to clear the way of routine business, particular ly the appropriation bills, which must be completed before .the actual reve nue needs can be definitely establish ed. Estimates on all these measures, including especially the extra heavy army and navy supply bills, are in hand giving the House ways and means committee enough information upon which to frame revenue legislation at once. Appropriation measures , will be considered in the Senate, Immediately, the Indian bill probably being the first taken up, while various commit tees are engag'ed in paving the way for consideration of railroad meas ures, a corrupt practice* bill and other, general legislation. The House, which already has passed five appro priation bills, vtlll has nine more to work out, and will approach that task vigorously with night sessions in pros pect for the near future. Returning members who were re elected do not look on the talk of an extra session and declare they are will ing to work night and day to avert one. They insist that ncne will be necessary unless action by Congress on the railroad legislation proposed by the president should be held up. Even In that event all are not satisfied that the president would call an extra ses sion for this purpose. THOUSANDS OF GUNS NOW BEING MADE BY TEUTONS. Every Available Bkllled Mechanic Taken From Trenche*. Prepare Big Campaign. Berlin, via Sayville.—Many thousand guns per week Is reported to be the measure of the mighty manufacturing effort which Germany Is now making for the campaign of 1917—an effort upon which the entire manhood force of the nation whlclP can be spared from the front and their regular oc cupation is being concenterated un der First Quartermaster von Luden dorf universal labor service law. Counting four months before the probable renewal of the world war In full vigor on all fronts, these fig ures mean a new Immense supply of. cannon of all calibers from field guns up to the gigantic howitzers, to meet the admittedly gigantic effort which the Entente Allies are expected to make In thlß the third year of Kitch ener's prophecy, to turn the scale of the war. Along with these guns the German factories arte turning out correspond ingly stupendous quantities of am munition and the production of ma chine guns, each of which virtually replaces a platoon of men, has been placed on a scale far beyond that of the past year. The campaign of 1917 will. It is already evident, be fought as a wide extension and development of the Somme battle, with even a heavier conception of artillery over a far wider front and with lines literally bristling with machine guns. Con fidence that their opponents will be unable to biyak through this wall ol steel and fire is not only expressed by the higher commanders, but also Is manifested right down Into the ranks of the common people.

CENTRAL POWERS REPLY BUGGEBT /THAT CONFERENCE BE HELD TO DIBCUBB BASIS OF PEACE TERMS. In Waahln|ton, Action la Looked Upon aa Advancing Cauaa, Although There la Disappointment Because No Terms Are Set Forth. Washington.—Germany's reply to President Wilson's note is regarded bare as having advanced the peace movement another step despite the fact that it disappoints In not meeting his suggestion for an avowal of terms. The reception German's reply re ceives among the Entente Allies, whose statesmen have publicly de clared against such a program, now becomes the point upon which a furth er move hinges. The German note probably is the prelude to a series of carefully considered delicate moves In the great game of world diplomacy all possibly leading to an approach for a real discussion of peace terms on grounds which all the belligerents can place them at no disadvantage. This Is the official view of Ger many's reply, so far as It has been formulated on the basis of the un official text. The official copy had not been received and President Wilson was keeping his mind open. Neutral diplomatic quarters, too, re garded the note as a step toward peace and rather leaned to the view that Germany might follow It with a con fidential communication of some sort outlining her terms. The reply of the Central Powers as given out at Berlin, says: "The high-minded suggestion mads by the President of the United States of America in order to create a JTasla for the establishment of a -lasting peace has been received and consider ed by the Imperial Government In the friendly spirit wihch was expressed in the President's communication. "The President points out that which he has at heart and leaves open the choice of roads. "To the Imperial Government an im mediate , exchange of views seems to be the most appropriate road In order to reach the desired result. "It begs, therefore, In the sense of the declaration made on December 12 which offered a hand for peace nego tiations to propose an Immediate meet ing of delegates of the belligerent Btates at a neutral place. "The Imperial Government Is of the opinion that the great work of reventlng future wars can be begun only after the end of the present strng gle of the nations.
