The latest Governineut crop re port sent out by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, forecasting the winter wheat crop on .May Ist, indicates n shortage as compared . with the final estimate of last year of more than 115,600,000 bushels. The shortage in the State of North Carolina is estimated at over 950,000 bushels. For the v country at large the shortage amounts to more than a bushel for every man, woman and child in the United States. We have called attention to these figures for the purpose, not only of show ing the extent of the shortage, but also for the purpose of urgiug farmers to make an extraordinary effort to produce other grain crop* to supply the shortage, that there may be sufficiency for the needs of all, and that those who produce enough and to spare may profit by the good prices which their surplus will command.

Cor. of The (71eaner. • Chftj)el Hill, N. C., May B.—The visit of tho State Federation of Women's Clubs to tlie University in a body on last Thursday proved one of the most interesting events of the spring here. The Federa tion held a morning session 'ii Gerrard Hall, was then entertain ed at luncheon in Swain Hall, and in the afternoon attended , the Community Festival given by the people of the town and University in the new outdoor theatre recent ly constructed in Battle Park. Over women were in llie party. President K. K. Graham welcomed them to the University. The Community Festival this year wan one of llie best ever hold in Chapel. The program which was attended by the Federation of Women's Clubs consisted of two one act jilays written by stu dents in tho University, followed by May games and dances by chil dren of llie Chapel Hill graded school. All elements that make up tlie Chapel llill community took pitrt in the exercises. One of the plays was has 1 ou a pas sage-in Dr. Kemp I'. Battle's His tory of the University, with Presi dent Swain as one of the charac ters and General Alkins, a Yankee oflicer, as another. Prof. Hiuton, of the Latin Department was one of the most am tuning characters The May Pole dance and games ; by the primary children featured the part of the program given by ' the school. Sli i k unpen re's "Twelfth Night" was given on Saturday afternoon with a carefully select -1 eil cast, which was coached by . I'rofensors McKie anil Dargan. Special COM! nines helped to give a real Elizabethan flavor to thin 1 production. Some play by Shakes peare will probably Jyjp given each year. The out door stage will also become the center of all out door performances in the future. The surroundings are most at tractive. Tlie University of North Caro lina annual, "Yackety Yack," which has just come from the press, is dedicated this year to the people of the State. In the dedi catory preface it speaks of those "who saw that man's life could only reach its ultimate by satisfy ing tli/it deep craving and thirst for knowledge, and thereby in corporated into a great institution the principles of equality, indus try ami truth, the influence of which is pulsating through the veins of a Slate ami nation." To these, it says, "Wo reverently dedicate this volume of the Yackety Yack, as a token of our appreciation to llie people of the Slate." More tliiin a hundred students of llie I'uivcrsily leave early this week for Fort- Oglethorpe, (Ja., where llicy enter training for llie Ollieers licserve Corps of the I'niteil Slates Army. A dozen or more students have already vol- Ufitecred in the cavalry, navy, aviation corps, etc. The Uni versity will give credit for tho re mainder of the term to those who leave for training. Military drill is still under the supervision of army officers. A mass meeting was held at the end of last week in honor of those students ami faculty members about to leave for camp. The Using of Artificial Respiration. iMiio F. M. Bulletin. The State Fire Marshal iu the lessons in common fire dangers for use iu the public schools gives the instructions which follows: If you Hud a person so sound asleep that he cannot be awaken ed, iu a room iu which there is a strong smell of gas, throw open the doors and windows and call for help. While waiting for the doctor you should try to gel fresh air into his lungs. To do this, put billion the floor. The tongue should bo held out by lingers with a handkerchief over them. This is to keep tho throat open so air can go in. Another person should kneel over.the head and catch the arms above tho wrists, pulling llieui along' the lloor away from the body and up alongside of the head. After a a moment the arms should be | brought together and moved down until the elbows, almost together, can be pressed on the stomach. This squeezes out the gas or air which is in the luug. Thisshould be done seventeen times each in in ute. That is as fast as a healthy person breathes. Try It! Substitute For Nasty Calomel Starts your liver without making you sick and can not salivate.

LIFE EXTENSION WORK IN AL AMANCE • \ 0 Dr. Thos. M. Jordan Writes Letter f Explaining the Work. Y - „ Dr. Thomas M. Jordan, who ha; been in the county with Dr. A. J II Ellington for the past week intro ducing the health work in the lif [] extension campaign, finds that the „ scope and nature of the work un e dertaken is generally mlsunaer y stood, or rather that it is not gen > erally understood by the citiz, ns of the county and write* the following explanatory letter, in which h ,l gives light on the subject. The letter follows: H Regarding the life extension J work, the unit of health work, now |, being put on by your .county, I ~ find, that after being in the coun f ty for a week, such a lack of . comprehension on the part of tin j general public of tho meaning, the reasons for and the plan of doing the work, that I am asking space „ in your paper for a few plain . statements in regard to the same. First, this i* strictly an under _ taking made possible by your county commissioners in the exer : eise of their Judgment, in a dasir- , to conserve the health and prolong the lives of the people who may take advantage of it. ' The work will cover a period ol * three .months, and will consist of ' a thorough physical examination of 1 each applicant to discover any be ginning of certain diseases, -whicn * the medical profession knows can be cured if treatment is begun in time, but if left alone until the de * velopment is such that the sufferer * is impressed with the neeu of tht ' physician and calls one, it is too * frequently the case that the cast 11 ishopeless, and treatment then is o no avail except to give relief. This [ is particularly true as to tubercu losis, cancer, heart and kidney trOU ble and other diseases. Any person between the age of 2-. and (15 years of age may apply foi this examination, but it is not ex , peeted that people already undei the treatment ol physicians will ap ply. This examination should noi be sought for tiie purpose of th additional opinion of a physician ' than your own, unless it be by ar rangement of your physician witi. Dr. Ellington. The work in not in tended in any way to interfere wit., the practice of medicine, since no treatment will be given in any case, j except advice as to any change in living ha oils. The work while dom ' under the direction of the State 1 and County Boards of Health anu no other motive than for the wel fare of tho public, it may bent-fit the medical profession, in that par ties found by the examiner in neeu of professional treatment #ill ai 1 ways be referred to their physi -1 cians. The profession can do a great publiea ser\ ice by a word )• 1 explanation about the work to those who will and always do turn to their farftTli' physician for advice about all matters public as well as private that pertain to individual or public health. X know the pro fession, as it always does, will oe found doing its part. While life extension work has been used and with good proof o, its value in prolinging life and the prevention of sickness, North Caro- 1 Una is the first State and Alamance county is the first county to put this service on us a unit of public health work, therefore every one of u#, especially the,j»eople of Ala mance, should do everything pos sible to make this work successful.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Tsxt of the Lesaon, John xv, 1-18. Memory Verses, 7, B—Golden Tsxt, John xv, s—Commtntiry Pr«par#d by , Rsv. D. M. Stearne. r It certainly iloos seem strange to • have no lesson given from John xlv or Jtvll, bat we must not pass them by. It IN true tlint part of chapter xlv was > BUKgcHteil In connection with the last ; review, but that gave no opportunity I for tli# study of Nucli a chapter. In the enil of yesterday's lesson f chapter I'eter Insisted that he was, ready to lay down Ills life for Christ's sake, but the Ixird, who knew all that was In him. said that the cock would ' not crow liefore I'eter would thrice deny Illin (xIII. 30-38). If our Lord 1 Immediately added the words, "I.et not your heart be troubled," and the words following lie would seem to say, Al though I know you so well, Peter, aud how weak you are, 1 would not have you troubled, for some day I will get , you all home to the mansions prepared tor you, and then there will be no more failure on your part, but you will each have a throne and reign with me over the tribes of Israel (Luke xxll, 20, 30). It Is truly pathetic to hear 1 Illin say to I'lillip, "Have I been so long a time with you. and yet hast i thou not known Me?" (xiv, 0.) But i lhat was Ills continual lament Israel i dotti not know. They know not the thoughts of the Lord. If thou hadst known; O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee llsa. 1. 3; Mlc. IV, LI; I.'lite xlx, 42; John xvll» 25). If we only knew Illin, and through Illin the Father, how very different the life of a believer would be! If the Com forter, the Spirit of Truth, had full control of us, then the peace of God would rule In our hearts. We would neither be troubled nor afraid. We would ask and receive to the glory of God, and It would be manifest to oth ers that the Father, Son and Iloly Spir it were making their home in us (xlv, 13, 14, 10, 17, 23, 20, 27). The one thing that we are here for, as the Lord's redeemed ones, Is to bear fruit, more fruit, much fruit, that He may lie glorified (xv, 1-8). The fruit of the Spirit Is fully described in Gal. v, 22-20, and all else Is from the evil one, the prince of this world of John xiv, 30. According to K/.ck, xv, the vine Is good for nothing If it does not bear fruit, for nothing can be made of the wood of It. In i's. lxxx, 8-15, Israel is spoken of as n vine out of Egypt which tilled the land and covered the hills, a vine yard which His right hand had plant ed, but which the enemy had wasted. In isa. v, 1-7, He again speaks of Is rael as Ills vineyard and the men of Judali Ills pleasant plant and nsks, "What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done In It?" Then He expresses surprise that instead of the grapes lie should have had she gave Him only wild grapes; Instead of righteousness, oppression. All Is only failure, anil always failure on man's side, and never but In one instance could the Father say, "In Him I am well pleased," and only He could say, "I do always those things that please Him" (Matt. xvH, 5; John vlll, 20). He Is the True Vine, the True Bread, the True Light, the True Tabernacle, the Truth. He never full ed In any detail of Ills life, and He cannot fall to accomplish all that He has purposed. He is also the Branch of the Lord, beautiful and glorious, David's righteous liraucb, the King who shall reign and prosper; the serv ant the Branch; Hie man whose name is the Branch, who shall build the tem ple of the Lord (Isa. Iv, 2; Jer. xxiii, 5; Zech. 111, 8; vi, 12). He Is the only source of all fruit, for apart from Him we are nothing and can do nothing (verse 5), and lie is our only example As the wise husbandman prunes Ills vines, even though they bleed, and ties them up and trains them as seems -best to him, we must not think Him unwise or unkind If He deals so with us, but consider IHIII who endured for us; who, though He were a Son, yet learn ed obedience by the things which lie suffered (Hob. XII, 3; v, 8). As He live*! In ills Father's l;»ve, so He would have us live In Ills love and remem tier that love Is always kind (verse !i aud I Cor. xlil, 4). It should not be dltlicult to let such love have Its own way with us; but. not having always the assurance thai it Is love, because It does not look to us like It, we waver and fail. Hudson Taylor thought that II Is weakness thai abides, so If we are consciously weak we may always abide. Some perplex ing sayings in this lesson will seem nol dltlicult If we remember that He was talking to true disciples, eleven really saved men, and the truths concerning fruit Iteating were for these and all saved people From I CUT. ill, 14. 15 we Icaru that It Is |io*nlbte to lie saved and yet l>ear no fruit. In view of the fact that He knew that GetliKcmam was before Him that night and Gol gotlm the next day, how could Ht speak of tils Joy and the desire tbut It might be in them? (Verse 11.) It must have liecu the Joy of Heb. xll, 2 to which lie has not yet fully cumi 1 and which should ever lie liefore u> ' If we would meekly l>ear the hatred ilnd opiMisltlou of the world, which will hale us If we are like Illm (versei 18-25).

I can extract the square root of 9,273,642; but I dou't know how to light a match ia the wind or how to chop down a tree. I have studied Political Econ omy until my head is full of raw theories and long words; but I don't know the nauie of the alder man frqrn our ward nor the Con gressman from our district. I can prove that the square of the hypotenuse is equal t9 the sum of the square of the base and the perpendicular; but I don't know how to hang wall paper, put in a pane of glass or paint a buggy. I have taken fifty lessous in chemistry; but I don't know enough to keep alcohol out of my system. I know nothing of food values and gorge myself on what pleases my palate. I received eighty-five percent in English Liture; but I couldn't get fifteen dollars a week in writing news for a newspaper.

I was educated according to the ancient formulas for producing a scholar and gentleman, and I find that I have to work for a living.
