EXPORT OF FOOD _ UNDERGONTROL GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF EX PORTS AUTHORIZED IN EBPIONAGE BILL. EXPORT COUNCIL IS NAMED Commerce Department Directed to Administer Details.—President Is sues Statement Outlining Country's Policy.—No Curtailment of Trade. Washington.—Control American I exports, authorized in a clause of the I espionage bill, was assumed by Pres ident Wilson with the appointment of an export council comprising the sec retaries of state, agriculture and com merce and the food administrator. An executive order creating the council directs the department of commerce to administer all details of operation. A victorious conclusion of the war can come, said the President in a statement outlining the country's ex port policy, only by systematic direc tion of American trade. "The free play of trade will not be arbitrarily interfered with," he said. "It will only be intelligently and sys tematically directed in the light of full information with regard to the needs and market conditions throughout the world and the neoessities of the people at home, and our armies and the ar mies of our associates abroad." —- The first proclamation will require the licensing of all coal and fuel ship ments, including bunkers, and its pur pose is to give the government first a firm grasp on shipping. The second will provide a system of licensing lor every class of exports to the European neutral countries, and is designed to prevent supplies from reaching Ger many. Every move under the act will be made under presidential proclamation Issued on the advice of the exports council, which will meet every day to discuss subjects of policy. The three cabinet members and the food admin istrator probably will name represen tatives to take care of most of the routine work. These men probably will be Dr. E. E. Pratt, of the depart ment of commerce; Lester H. Wool- Bey, of the state department. Assistant Secretary Vrooman, of the department of agriculture, and a representative of the food administration. Licensing will be dose by the com merce department's bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, of which Dr. Pratt is head. The bureau will be expanded by the addition of about three hundred employes. To cover the cost of operation, Secretary Redfleld will ask for $150,000 frem the Presi dent's emergency fund and later will ask of Congress $750,000 to carry the bureau through the year. Collectors of customs who are un der the treasury department will be charged with preventing unlicensed cargoes from leaving the country.

EXCESS WATER HURTS ROADS Cold Wssther Does Not Csuse Injury, Ne Matter Whethsr Road Is Earth, Qrsvel of Mscadam. Water, not cold, is the cause of the deterioration of roads In winter. Cold weather does not In Itself injure roads no matter whether they ore earth, i gravel or macadam. In fact an earth road will stand more traffic when It Is solidly frozen than at any other time. Excess water, however, Is always de trimental to a highway. When cold weather turns this water Into Ice, tho damage that It does Is greatly in creased. Ice occupies considerably more space than the water from which It Is formed, and every person who has lived In a cold climate Is familiar with the powerful bursting effect of water when left to freeze In s con fined vessel. The same action takes place when a wet road freezes to any considerable depth. It simply bursts or, ss we generally term It In road parlance, the road heaves. Later, when the frost leaves, the road Is dlslnter grated and ruts badly. If this process Is repeated a number of times during the winter, a gravel or macadam road tnay be practically destroyed while an earth road may become entirely im passable. A dry road will not heave. Rock, gravel, sand and even clay when per fectly dry contract slightly on frees- Well Drained Rosd. Ing. In order to elpond on freezing, these materials must contain or be mixed with water, and the more water they contain the greater the expan sion which takes place. But so long as the road remains frozen, the dam age does not become apparent. Hence the frequent and erroneous Idea that It Is the thaw which Injures the road. The Injury was done when the water In the toad froze and the particles of the road surface —broken stone, sand, still fine particles of earth or clay— were pushed apart by the expanding power of the freezing water. The thaw merely allows tho Ice to melt and assume Its original volume as water. The remedy Is self-evident. Keep the water out of the road. The time to begin preventive measures Is before the rains begin. If the road goes Into the winter thoroughly dry with the sur face and drainage In good condition, tho cliances are extremely favorable that It will come out all right the fol lowing spring. KEEPING UP DIRT HIGHWAYS Fsrmere Can Have Good Roads by Grading to Drain Off Rainfall and Keep Burface Smooth. We all want good roads and when we find out what Is the really perma nent highway we will want that also In line with the modern Idea of build ing for keeps. In the meantime farmers can have good dirt roads by grading to drain off the rainfall, and by dragging to keep the surface smooth snd hard. The Road Scrs fir. Where is your road scraper?

SOUTH MUST RAISE OWN FOM CHOPS SECRETARY LUCAS RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE AND TELLS OF ACTION. DEPARTMENTS TO CO-OPERATE Labor and Tin Oan Situation Arc Prob lems Being Given Serious Consid eration by Commission. Raleigh.—More than ever convinced of the absolute necessity of tho South's raising Its own food and feed stuffs/this year, John Paul Lucas, ex ecutive secretary of the State Food Conservation Commission, has return ed to his office after attending the conference held at Waahlngton at the Instance of the Federal Trade Com mission for the consideration of the production, transportation and distri bution of food and feed products. In formation brought out at that con ference will be used not only by the Federal Trade Commission Itself, but will be passed on to the Department of Agriculture and the Interstate Com merce Commission. Acordlng to Mr. Lucas all departments and commis sions at Washington are co-operating as never before in securing prompt action in matters especially that have any bearing upon the proper conduct of the war—and the production of foodstuffs Is recognised as one of the very Important factors In the war sit uation. " "One of the country's greatest handi caps at present Is Its lack of adequate transportation facllltlea," stated Mr. Lucas. "This wss strikingly manifest In our conference. It waa the concen sus of opinion that the present prices of wheat and flour and some other products are due as much to Inade quate transportation facilities as to crop shortage. The South will not only save Itsslf from hunger and suf fering by raising Its own food and feed stuffs this year, but It will le a considerable extent relieve tho rail road situation by releasing for other purposes ths tens of thossands of cars that have heretofore been necessary ta bring us the $700,000,000 of food and feed products that we havs bought from the West. "Other states are taking the aama steps we are to meet the situation, with variations of course. Many states have considerable legislative appro priations with which to carry on the work and the best talent everywhere is being utilized In the campaign. Bterenuous work Is being done in the great grain ststes because the nation Is expecting from that source to feed Its armies and navy and the armies and civilian population of Its altiea. The South and New England are ex pected to feed themselves aad releaas for military purposes the surplus that the West will be able to raise. "The problems to be solved, la the unanimous opinion of our conference, relate not only to as largely increased acreage as possible, but also to labor, tranaportatlon and the tin can situa tion, which Is very serleus. All of these matters are being considered and handled by the proper authorities and radical steps. If necessary, will be taken In applying remedies." Dlschargs 600 Guardamsn. Rallegh.—Full live hundred men. It la estimated, will hare been discharg ed from the National Guard service in North Carolina when the laat of the discharges are Issued. Practically all of these are on the basis of the pro vision for discharge of men with de pendent families. This represents more than fifteen per cent of the en tire guard. Although this condition waa suffi cient to wsrant a discharge, if asked for, whlls the National Ouard was In mobilization quarters at Camp Olenn last summer, the discharge waa purely optional with the men having depend ents. Now such dlscnargea are man datory. These discharges leave still further gaps In the personnel of the National Ouard, which must be filled by volun teers or drafted men.

Therefore, if you want to eat—and to continue to eat—prevent the Area that are destroying vast stores of ths country's food products every day. These are the salient thoughts of a letter recently Issued by one of the largeet insurance companies to Its agents and to the Insurance frater nity. The letter emphasises the fact that the duty to serve cannot be dele gated. "U. 8. stands tor the United Btatee," it says, "but it spells US, and with a very distinctive spelling when a 'state of war* arrives." The letter is a clarion call to indi vidual service—personal assumption of responsibility tor waste, however caussd and whatever it affects but with particular rsfereoce to the pre vention of food wastage by fire— The Insurance company's call Is to the agents of the company first, to the Insurance fraternity second; but It applies with equal foroe to every man and woman—even eVery child—that handles or in ths remotest dsgree Is responsible for created values, wheth er created by man's handiwork or pro duced aa the result of his labor. The letter follows: "In the strsss which confronts our country we have also the recognised Importance of the Individual, the quan tity and quality of the personal obli gation of every citlsen, which in less strenuous times is overlooked or Ignored. It Is not a time when per sonal responsibility may be left to parties, societies, officials, aggrega tions, etc., which in "piping times" of peace and prosperity is too much our habit. Esch must now follow ths flag for hlmsslf—ws cannot avoid or dele gate our duty.

All will not be called to the colors, but all will bs called to share In the duties snd burdens of the times, e e e "Never before in the war experience of this country hss there been such anxiety for our food supply, and never before has there been so much reason fbr this solicitude. There U abun dant evidence that wa are going to be hungry! In fact, this question of food supply Is the great feature of the awful European war and it will have aa important If not decisive Influence upon the outcome. Throiifthout our country the danger Is being understood and the demand has gone forth for the fulleet product which the land can he made to yield.

There is no gainsaying the Import ance and timeliness of this plea. Ths country is not yet awake to ths teat that ws ars at war.

And all because there has been, In this country, no adequate systsm of prevention, no wrH-planned method of protection, no general adoption o sound principles for the accomplish ment of fire extinguishment. Individual responsibility Is a burden on all; but It bears with a compelling force on thoee whose propsrtiss ars destroyed, and particularly thoee mHls where grain is ground Into flour and mssl. in ths warehouse where food stuffs ars stored and especially in the grocery store where the keeping ol foodstuffs and Inflammabls materials near together renders an sxtra has ard.
