WHAT IS IT? Why, a Liberty Bond is a prom i ise to pay by the United States of America. Take a bill from your purse and read it. It says the United Suites promises to pay and it is no better than a Liberty Bond—not as good. To illustrate: We hoard a gentleman use this illustration—suppose you had sao laying by and at the end of six I* months you needed to spend a dollar of it. You take out the dollar mul you have $49 left. If p it had been a Liberty Bond, you |i could spend one dollar at the end of aix months andi have 1.00 left. They draw 4 per cent, iuterest and SSO makes SI.OO in six months. When tax-listing time comes you have to list your money for tax, |. but not so with your Liberty Bond. i LATE WAR NEWS.

Speaking and Bonfire—Faculty Music Recital a Success. Cor. of The Gleaner. Elon College, Oct. 24.—Last night the students and Faculty of Elon College participated in a patriotic rally. At 7:00 o'clock Dr. T. ,C. Amick of the Faculty addressed the stndent body who were assembled on the campus. Mr. Amick made a strong appeal for the second Liberty Loan Bouds. Immediately following his address a huge bonfire was lighted by Dr. 10. O. Randolph, after a simple ceremony. For half an hour in the light of the bonfire the college baud played and the students sang patriotic songs. Enthusiasm ran high. Today the student body and Faculty, as well as the citizens of the town, are beiug solicited in the interest of the Liberty Bonds. The Faculty Music Recital oc curred Friday evening. The Faculty Recital is the music event of the season, and this year ex ceeded its former reputation for good music. The College chapel was filled to its utmost, every available seat being occupied.

Food Administrator Hoover gives notice to the public that "tho corner linn been turned" in high food prices and that most of tho essential commodities Hiiould continue to show reductions be tween now and tho end of the year. At the same time he pointed out that retail prices ave not going down iu accord with wholesale reductions, and intimated that the consumer himself might cor rect this by bringing proper pres sure to bear. To aid the public in dealing with retailers who continue to ex tort war profits, the food admin istration now is collecting whole sale prices of all staples in 700 cities and soon will begin publish ing thorn weekly for comparison with the retail figures. Without further authority from Congress, Mr. Hoover said, tho government is powerless to con trol retailers, except those doing a business of more than SIOO,OOO a year, lie did not care to dis cuss the question of whether Con gress would bo asked to extend his authority, saying he wanted to give the retailers a chance first. As an illustration of how the prices to tho consumer are keep ing up, n statement issued by the administrator «aid beef is now selling in Chicago at 14} cents a pound, compared with I> cents in July, while the average retail price of round steak now is 31 ceuts compared with 27 cents in July. The millers' price for first patent flour iu jute bags ranges from >lO to $lO.lO, but tho average retail price is ♦ 13.«7, or, the ad ministration says, from $1.50 to $2 more than tho wholesale figure warrants: .Sugar should sell from 8 to 8} cents a pound in spite of the present temporary shortage, as the wholesale figures have uot advanced.

Chapel Hill, N. C., Oct. 23. The University of North Carolina at the outbreak of the war, in common with other American Universities and colleges, nnder took as energetically as it could, to focus its energies in helpful service to the nation. It joined the Bureau; listed and classified its resources of men and equipment and offered them to the Govern ment; it put into its curriculum military training with a faculty adequate to the task of instruct ing men in modern warfare. Twenty per cent, of the alumni and students whoso addresses are known, are now in active war service and twenty per ceut. of the faculty of last year. The University of North Caro lina believes, however, that im portant as organization is, its chief service in its war relations is in the field of education. The following is the plan of this war extension work adopted by the University of North Caro lina. 1. Extension Centers. Study courses. From one to six courses given at each center; each course requiring a month for completion. A member of the University faculty to be sent to the center at the beginning' and end of the course. Remainder of the time, course directed by an alumnus, local school man, (e.g.) The work guided by outlines, syllabus, and may be tested 'by examination. The courses are to be closely re lated to form a consistent whole. Centers too small for all of the courses may take one or more. The Courses. (By way of ex ample). a. Theories of the Htate; b. Europe since 1815; c. Political Idealism in British aud American Literature; d. South American Relations; c. Economic and Social Aspects of,the War; f. The War as Reflected in Recent Literature. !I. Group Lectures. Four or live of these lectures or similar lectures, more popularly treated, and without intensive class study, may be arranged as a series by a community (e.g. one a month by a Y. M. C. A.) Single lectures will be furnished to communities as a part of any other lecture plan they may have or for special occasions. 3. Correspondence Courses (with credit) and Reading Courses (without credit) on the subject matter of these extension center study courses, using the same syl labus aud other material in sim plified form. A text book (326 pages), "American Ideals," has been prepared by two of tho pro fessors. 4. Readers Service. Furnish ing through tho Library, the fac ulty-co-operating, ail vice as to books, articles on special subjects related to war and iu so far as possible lending books, pam phlet!*, etc. War-And Thanksgiving Thorp is a curious Irony in thanksgiving festi\ities while a nation is at war; in almost every home there will be at least one empty chair, but it is perhaps Just tbi* situation which will draw more closely together the ties of familv affection. Commenting on this condition a writer in the Novem ber issue of Oood Housekeeping nays, "Let us try first of all. to collect it. big family. Find some one would otherwise have to sit down to some lonely table. Economize we must in every way conceivable. It is possible, however, to plan ana execute our menu with such cun ning art that the economies will never be suspected.'' Every Item may '.>e prepared in expensively and after showing how the author even suggests econom ical carving. To quote, "When serving, carve slices and serve without the bones. What is left on the platter may be used in soup". In connection with this article, a message published in the same is sue from Robert Hoover, is of gen uine interest. ''The Thankcgiving dinner this year should be festive, but not ornate. The day should be one one of real Thanksgiving even for the mother who prepares and serves the dinner herself. Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without a chicken or turkey Or without cranberries in some form. Potatoes and other vegetables there should be. Corn meal bread Is suggested as a re minder of our country's need to save wheat. Mince pie Is omlf ted because that means unneces sary use of meat. Pumpkin-pie if typically American, reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving day, ana it has but one crust, rhus economiz ing in wheat flour."

To secure this amount a great campaign will be conducted from Nov. 11th to 10th. Campaign organizations have been perfected in the six military departments of the United States. Headquarters for Southeastern department is at Atlauta. North Carolina's apportionment is 1300,- 000. Bach State in Southeastern department, composed of seven States, has an executive commit tee, that for North Carolina being composed of A. J. Draper, P. C. Whitlock and M. 11. Spier of Charlotte. A conference will be held early in November to prepare for the final drive. The biggest men in political, jjusiness, social and religious life in the South are devoting their efforts to this campaign as organ izers, workers and speakers. They are giving themselves to it as they gave to the Liberty Loan and to the Red Cross. Where the Liberty Loan was to buy munitions,'food and clothing for the fighting men arid the Red Cross fund was to caro for them when ill or wound ed, the cause for which this Y. M. C. A. fight is to be waged is for providing the comforts of home to the boys, to keep them fit physi cally, mentally, morally and so cially—to fill their spare hours with constructive and worth while recreational, educational and re ligious activity.

Y„ "When Buffering from attacks of indigestion and heaviness after eating, one or two ol Chamberlain's Tablets have al ways relieved me. I have also found them a pleasant laxative. These tablets tone up the stomach and enables It to perform its func tions naturally. If you are troub led with Indigestion give them s trial, get ell and stay well. Adolph Germer of Chicago, ex ecutive secretary of the National Socialist party, and 10 other per sons were acquitted by a jury in Federal court at Grand Rapids, Mich., of charges of conspiracy against the selective draft.

A thousand deaths a day from starvation out of a population of 350,000 in the Lebanon mountaiua, near Beirut, Syria, is the toll of famine conditions there resulting from the war, declares Rev.

Ent slowly, masticate your food, thoroughly, abstain from moat for a few daya and in most cases the sour stomach will disappear. If it does not, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after supper. Red meats are most likely to cause sour stomach and you may find it best to cut them out.

The tragedy of the sea, the first In which an American ship engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of Its magnitude to bring home to the people of the United States the rigors or the war In which they have en gaged against Germany. It carries the largest casualty list of the war, so far, of American lives, and marks the first success of a German subma rine attacks on American trassports. That the loss of life was not great er is due to the safeguards with which the navy has surrounded the transport service, and the quick res* cue work of the convoying warships.
