Matters are coming around ail
right in ltussia. The country has
been proclaimed u Republic since
the revolution last spring when the
Czar was dethroned Russia has hao
many factions. Men thirsting for
power and inconsiderate of the
people have tried to get into power.
Through these and the intrigue ol
the Germans the condition was
chaotic at times. The armies were
hard to manage ant! the enemies
gained much advantage. Korniloff,
a strong man, was among the ranks
of those who were apparently more
interested In personal glory than
in the establishment of a free
government, fiis revolt has been
cut out. But there arose about the
same timo a young man named
Kerensky, imbued with the doc
trines of pure democracy. He has
preached tho doctrine into the peo
ple and they are understanding.
Under him, the armies have rallied
and stopped the enemy's progress,
and It is to hJm that the people are
looking for success and deliverance.
A few men of small calilire are in
dustriously working to make politi
cal gain out of the war. It is a
small business when the world is
fighting for democracy against I'rus
sianism to attempt to make political
capital oat of the war. Ex-President
Taft and Judge Pritcbard of our
own State, both men known all over
North Carolina, and the leaders and
strong men in Congress of political
shades have all laid aside partisan
politics as of little account compared
with the preservation of our common
country and the world against au
tocracy and despotism.

More German Treachery.
* '
Another chapter to the story or
German intrigue in neutral coun
tries, and among neutral diplomat*,
has been revealed by Secretary
Lansing, in the form of a letter to
Imperial German Chancellor from
notorious Von Eckhardt, th eGer
man Minister to Mexico City, to
whom the intercepted Zimmerman
note was addressed. It disclosed
that Folke Cronholm, then Sweed
ish charge in Mexico, was depended
upon by the German diplomat to
nish information from the "hostile
camp"—the United States—and to
transmit communication to Berlin,
and that Von Eckhardt wanted him
rewarded oy a secret award from
the Kaiser of the "order of the
crown of the second class." ,
This letter was written on March
8, 1916., and apparently has Jean in
the possession of the American'
government for a long time. It
was made public without comment,
shedding light upon the methods o/
another Sweedish diplomat repre
sentative in this hemisphere, at a
time when the United States ana
her Allies are awaiting with inter
est Swecden's explanation to Ar
gentina of the conduct of her min
ister at Buenos Aires, who trans
mitted the German "sink without
leaving , a trace" dispatches.
The Sweedish charge at Washing
ton states that Cronholm was dis
missed from the diplomatic service
last January. Von Eekhimlt's part
in th eehapter has been no sur
prise This government has known
of his activities long before the dis
covery of the evidence given by
the Zimmerman note and since then
his activities in propaganda have
been watched carefully.
Government to Handle Coal.
Lower retail prices on hard and
noft coal will be fixed in a presi
dential proclamation about Octo
ber 1.
Fuel Administrator Garfield ad
vises couHiuueJce to await the now
government prices befortf-buying
and lie revealed plans to prevent
industries shutting down or house
holds freezing for lack of coal.
The fuel administrator will requi
sition millions of tons of coal.
From this supply, emergency
needs of consumers will be met at
the government prices.
Dealers "caught long" on coal
which cost-, them more than the
retail price the government fixes
will lose. After the date fixed by
ihe President's proclamation no
coal may bo sold at retail at a
price higher than the one fixed.
This price will be determined by
the cost at the mine, plus the
freight to destination, plus the
jobbers' fixed profit, plus the re
tailer's gross margin to be fixed
by the proclamation.
As Garfield explained his plajj,
the government will conduct a
banking business in coal. The
capital will be the coal requisi
tioned from the producers. It will
remain at each inine and Garfield
will draw upon them as emergen
cies require. The mine nearest
the emergency will fill the short
age.

Liberty Motor to Give U. S. Air
Soprffautfy.
The Liberty motor, the airplane
engine upon which the United
States is relying to establish defi
nite air supremacy over the Ger
mans on the whole battlefields of
France, has passed its final test
and is a complete and gratifying
success, Secretary baker says.
In a public statement Secretary
Baker told how all the best brains
and business of American inotor
doin had contributed its success
and Achievement* to the govern
ment to produce the Liberty mo
tor, which is to carry the thous
ands of Auiericau airplanes over
Germany. "Probably the war has
produced no greater single ach ie ve
rhent," the Secretary said, as he
related for the first time the story
of the design and construction of
the new motor, which has added a
thrilling chapter to American engi
neering records.
The Secretary said the mo'or is
"now the main reliauce of tin
United States in the rapid produc
tion in large numbers of high
power battle planes for service in
the war. In power, speed ajid
service, ability and minimum
weight, the new engine invites
comparison with the best that the
European war has produced. The
engine was brought about through
the co-operation of more than a
score of engineers, who pooled
their skill and trade secrets in the
war emergency."
Progress has already been made
toward organizing the industry
for tjie manufacture of the new
machines and delivers will begin
in a comparatively short time.
Hack of this statement is the fact
that American aviators in hlgh
powered Auierican-built machines
will begiu to appear in large num
bers on the lighting lines early
next year.
Food Administration For North
Carolina.
Raleigh. Sept. 18— Volunteers to
lead the North Carolina retail mer
chants and the moving pic.ure
house owners have been found by
Pood Administrator, Honry A.Page..
J. B. Ivey, head of a big de
partment store in Charlotte, and H.
B. Varner, owner .of the Lyon
Theatre in Lexington.
Each of these exceedingly busy
men has offered to raise his divis
ion of workers from the ranks of
the business in which both have
nourished. Mr. Ivy will undertake
to bring to the voluntary service
of the United States all the retail
dry -goods merchants of North Car
olina, and Mr. Varner,, who is a
newspaper publicity artist of first
rank will devote himself to the or
ganization of all the picture houses
into th egenera! scheme of propa
ganda which is capitally important
now.
Mr. Itfey Is chairman of this tig
organization. Following the lead of
the Government he will communi
cate with the dry goods merchants
of all places In North Carolina anu
assign them to what work is desir
ed. These retail organizations are
to be apprised of the character o.
the food proproganda work expect
ed of them. As one feature in
bringing the demands of the hour
to public vizualization, a great
country-wide window display con
test is to take place.
It is through these window dis
plays that the need of a wise use
of supplies is to be shown by the
merchants. A prize of SSO is offer
ed for tho first, S3O for the Second
and |2O for the third best display-
In each of three classes. Every
store that puts in a display ana
conforms to tho rules of the coOn
will receive recognition from tho
Pood Administration. They are de
signed to show the public need of
economy in the use of all foods ana
particularly for substituting eer
tftln foods available in this coun
try for those heretofore commonly
used without restriction but now
vital to the maintenance of our Al
i lies in the war.
The conditions of this State-wide
contest will be stated by Mr. Ivey,
who undertakes this big Job solely
because he desires to do a busi
ness man's duty to his country.
Mr. Varner's position is unique in
that he is owner'both of a news
paper and a movijig picture house.
A double duty in publicity is shoul
dered by him.' One of the pur
poses of the moving picture organ
ization M&p vromote "clean-up

which begin on October 21st and
continue through eight days,—this
novelty can I* more easily present
ed through the co-operation of the
picture houses.
The Ooverhment has a picture,
"Pood Wllf Win The War," which
is to be exhibited by 17 000 picture
houses in Ihe country. Besides
these, slides and one-sheet lobby
posters will be regularly employed
by all the picture houses in the
country, it the Government can
gain the willingnesss of these own
ers to co-operate with the publicity
■plans. And to the end that great
est amount of msterial may be put
before the people, the Government
welcomes any suggestion from any
course as to what could well go
into these films, posters and slides.

HEELS AND HEALTH.
Low Heeb Not Only Healthful Bat
Stylish.
That women .can wear low heel
shoes, retain their health, and yet
be stylish, is something they rare
ly, dreamed of, and yet, it ia said,
this is Dame Fashion's latest order.
Some women are a little alow yet
to believe that they can wear a
shoe that is comfortable, one that
will fit their feet, and be in style,
but _ the majority of women are
heartily welcoming this latest de
cree of Fashion, and are discarding
the outlandish high heel, they say,
for one more confortable and many
times more sensible.
North Carolina women, however,
are not required to adopt this
style, while the women of Illinois
have been dangerously near being
compelled t owear low heels wheth
er they liked them or not. Recently
a bill was passed in the lower
House in Springfield, which if it
shall be sustained, will compel wo
men to wear heels not more than
one and three-eighths inches in
height.
As to who should have credit for
this change of footwear. Some say
that Uncle Sam is responsible be
cause ¥ie required his boys to wear
correct shoes and has shown people
that a shoe can ~>e made good
looking and at the same time fit
the feet. This reason probably ac
counts for the new low heel shoes
for women being built somewhat on
military lines.
But physicians and health work
ers would like to believe that peo
ple in general are paying more at
ters that so vitally affect
their health and well being as the
ill-favored heel. They want to be
lieve that women have reached the
point where they will demand ana
wear what is best for their health
in spite of what is said t obe the
style.
Dirty Dishwashing Dangerous to
Health.
"Dirty Dishwashing" was the
subject of one of the lectures of a
noted dietitian, who didn't mind
telling even expert housewives of
the dirty, insanitary practices
that went on daily in their kitch
ens. And she didn't stop with the
housewives and kitchens but rap
ped the soda fountains and the
restaurants to the health of the
poople who patronized them. Iu
a recent lecture to would-be-cooks
and observing housekeepers, she
said:
"The average home represented
here this morning is absolutely
unsafe as far as the cleanliness of
the dishes is concerned. I dare
say that many of them are posi
tively dangerous. I have been in
matiy a 'well-to-do' home and
found that if the housewife kept
a.kitchen maid, that she paid no
attention whatever to the way the
dishes were washed, and if she
didn't keep a maid, she washed
them no better herself.
[ "There seems to be an almost
I universal belief that lukewarm
water, a little soap and any kind
of an old rag will clean dishes.
People don't seem to know.that to
actually clean dishes, particular
ly cups, glasses, forks and spoons,
of daugerous mouth secretions,
which is the moans of spreading
most of our contagious diseases
from tuberculosis to whooping
cough, that it is necessary to scald
them. Some peopie for fear of
breaking their glasses never Bcald
them. They don't know that if
water is poured on the outside
and inside at t|ie same time, so
that the glass expauds evenly on
both sides, that there is no danger
of breaking them.
"Recently I helped a friend to
wash her disbee after she had
given a party including sixty peo
ple. Several women in the crowd
had colds, and part of the gossip
of the afternoon was that two'
others had lubercqjQQis. All that
tny friend did was to wash them
through a dirty, soapy water and
give them to me to dry in a much
used drying towel. When I re
monstrated with her for not scald
ing them, she called me a crank.
"It is not only practicable but
it saves labor to have a pan or pot
of boiling water in which to dip
the dishes, especially the oups,
ltniv«s, forks and spoons, after
iht-y have been washed. This
saves drying them and leaves
them clean and glistening, and is
easily done by arranging them in
wire baskets.
"Perhaps the worst of danger
ous, dirty dishes are those served
you at soda fountains and some
quick lunch counters. I have
uever understood why the govern
ment legislated against the com
tnou driuking cup and allowed
soda fountains to serve out of
dishes and spoous unaterilized. I
have watched many a counter*
ttWii wash spoons which he did by
dippiug them in cold water and
wiping them on a dirty towel
hauging by his side or under the
counter. But the public seems
satisfied and that is why such
practices are allowed, I guess. It
is no wonder that diseases spread
in most mysterious ways."
Dallas, the most popular county In
Texas, voted "dry" in a local op
tion election Monday of last week.
About 19,000 votes were polled out
of 28,00% and the "drya" had about
1,500 Majority.

HARDY ANNUAL FLOWERS FOR
FALL SOWING.
But few realize the importance oi
sowing annuals during early falL
As a rule »e are inctined to for
get the needs of our garden to
wards the end 6f summer, though
this la Just the season when we
should be planning for next year s
display.
WHY SOW NOW FOR SPRING
BLOOM?
This is a natural question, but
If you have observed the superior
and endurance of self sown annuals
which at time* make their appear
ance in our borders, the lesson is
obvious. Such plants have made
much of their root growth during
cool, perfect weather conditions
with the result that they grow off
strongly as soon as the weather
opens op in the spring. They bloom
much earlier, while their flower
ing Season is-on account of their
superior root growth—very much
lengthened.
CHEERLESS SPRING BEDS
AVOIDED.
Vacant, lifeless beds and borders
during the early spring will be a
thing of the past by sowing seeds
of hardy annuals during October.
If the ground is unoccupied or the
present occupants of the beds are
past their best, clear the ground,
manure thoroughly and turn over
the soil as deeply as possible. Sour
soils will be much aided, oy a
dressing of freshly slacked lime,
raked into the surface.
There is no doubt aoout the beau
tjr of annuals especially when sown
in masses, but for the finest
and to insure strong sturdy plants
do not hesitate to thin out the
seedlings rigorously. Allow the
majority of the varieties six inches
space between plants.
DO NOT COVER TOO DEEPLY.
Make a fine seed bed by thor
oughly raking out ail the clods and
stones and when sowing be careful
that the seed is not covered more
than four or five times its diameter.
This, of course, refers to line,
small seeds. Keep the ground free
from weeds, and it may be well to
well to give a little protection
after the ground freezes. The best
material is rough, dry, strawy lit
ter, something that will not decom
pose readily and hold superfluous
moisture too long.
VARIETIES RECOMMENDED.
The following are all first-class
varieties for fall sowing:
Argemone (The Mexican or Prick
ly Poppy), this bloomß continu
ously throughout the summer un
til frost. Average height three
feet.
Calendula (Scotch Marigold) in
shades of lemon and or ange.
Height 12 to 18 inches. A con
tinuous bloomer. /"
Bartonia (Aurea), showy,
annual. Height 12 inches.
Calliopsis in shades of yellow
and brown, height 12 to 18 in.
Very showy and fine for cutting.
Centaurea Cyanus (Bachelor's But
ton or Bluebottle), the blue variety
Is the favorite, and a few plants
should be in every garden.
Lupinus in. various colors Height
about one foot and useful alike ,(or
cutting and border decoration,
Eschsoltzia (California Poppy) is
one of our best subjects for fall
sowing. The oright yellow flowers
with their attractive fern-like foii
age are useful alike for cutting and
for border decoration.
Oypsophlla or Baby's Breath—the
variety Elegans sown now will
flower quite early in the spring ana
is attractive at all times. >
Oodetia, in colors ranging from
white to cardinal red. Forms a
symmetrical bright bush but does
best in cool locations.
Larkspur, dwarf and tall varie
ties in colors ranging through all
•hades of pink, white and purple,
and is extremely useful for cutting.
Nlgella, or Love in a Mist, 12
to 15 inches in height with blue
and white flowers. Most attract
ive.
Pansies of all kinds if sown not
later than the middle of September
will make fine flowering plants for
early spring.
Petunias, especially the small
flowered sorts. This is undoubt
edly one of the frery best subjects
for American gardens. Flowering
as it does throughout the entire
season right up to frost, suitable
alike for shade or ary warm soils.
Good varieties are White Bedding
and Roay Morn.
Portulaca, where a dwarf or low
spreading edge plant is desirea,
Portulaca will fill the bill. Flow
ers are exceedingly brilliant and it
thrivea in practically any location.
Poppies both single and double,
especially Fordhook Fairy and
Fairy Blush, and the improvea
Shirley ahould be used extensively
at thia sowing.
Virginia Stocks in mixed colors
—height six inches—a fine subject
for edging.
The seeds mentioned in this arti
cle may be purchased from any re
liable aeed house at a very low
cost. W. Atlex Burpee and Com

Allowances for Dependents of Officers
and Men Equalized.
Washington.—The administration's
soldiers' and sailors' Insurance bill,
amended so as to equalize the allow
ances of the dependents of enlisted
men and officers, passed the house.
The vote was Sl9 to 0, Representa
tives Piatt, of New York, and Hers er.
of Maine, changing negative votes to
aye before the result was
amid thunderous applause.
As the bill went to the senate, pri
vates and officers and their depend
ents stand on exactly the same basis.
Benefits and allowances now provided
for are slightly higher than those
originally proposed as the minimum
for privates by the committees and
considerably lower than the maximum
amounts which officers and their d»
pendents would have received.
President Wilson scored a personal
victory In the adoption, 141 to 77, ol
an amendment raising from IS,OOO to
fIO.OOO the maximum amount of op
tional insurance policies that the gov
ernment would Issue to all men in the
service. ' The original draft of the
bill carried 11,0,000, but It waa strick
en out in committee.

Plans to Help Rejected Men.
"There are two classes of per
sons, bat one in particular, who
should be oared for just at this
time," says Dr. L. B. Mcßrayer,
.superintendent of the State Tu
berculosis Sanatorium. "The first
class is comprised of those young
men who were examined for ser
vice in the army and who were
found to have tuberculosis. The
other class are the boys who go to
war and are returned with the
disease. But it's the first class,"
emphasizes Dr. Mcßrayer, "that
needs our attention and care just
now."
To render this service, Dr. Mc-
Brayer has endeavored to get in
touch with those men that through
the Tuberculosis Department of
the State Government they might
find aid, and by intelligently re
sorting to treatment and proper
advice now to be restored to health.
To this end he has asked the
Governor of the State for the
names and addresses of these boys,
to be furnished him through the
various exemption boards. This
the Governor has requested, and
personal letters and literatme im
pressing these young men with
the importance of the care and
treatment their condition demands
at this time are being sent to them.
It was the opinion of the Gov*
ernor that this was a most import
ant work and an opportunity given
to the State by the war whereby
great and lasting good could be
done in fighting this disease. He
urged that .the exemption boards
furnish the information and give
the work every assistance possible.
The need for sach work is ap
parent from the fact that ofie ex
amining board has reported that
6 percent of the men examined
had to be rejected on account Of
tuberculosis.
