There would seem to be little, If
any, connection between the problviik

A transformation Is now In progress
under direction of the community or

been eradicated, the sale of liquor
has been placed under rigid control.
A public market has been established
for the three towns. Here farmers
from the surrounding districts take

I rltory now held by King Ferdinand's |
men is to be evacuated, the Bulgarian j
, army is to be immediately demobilized
and all means of transport Inside the
kingdom, even along the Danube, Is
to be given over Into allied hands.
Thus, in addition to the Isolation
of Turkey, the back door to a direct

wide open to the allies and doubtless
the time Is not far distant when ad

the new avenue through which the

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR PAGE
food Requirements of Allies 60% More This Year Than Last-
Failure in 1919 Will Cost One Million Extra Lives
and the Issue is Cleraly Drawn, "Sacrifice at Home or on
the Battlefield"—The Humanitarian Impulse—Mr. Page
Explains Situation.
The gigantic task before the Food
Administration and the American peo
ple In the matter of saving foodstuffs
was explained by State Food Adminis
trator Henry A. Page today upon his
return' from Washington where he.
with Executive Secretary John Paul
Lucas, attended a conference of alt
Food Administrators with Mr. Hoover
and his staff. The purpose of this
renference was to dlscusß in detail and
determine upon (details of policy dur
ing the present fiscal year.
What the Food Administration and'
the American people are upr against
may readily be Been from me state
ment that the Food Administration
has promised to send to the Allies
during the present fiscal year Mil
lion tons of foodstuffs as against the
10 million tons saved and shipped to
them by the most strenuous effort
during the last fiscal year; and In ad
dition to this Increase of 60 per cent
in exports, to lay up a reserve of
wheat and other foodstuffs as insur
ance against a abort crop next year
which, without such Insurance, might
well prove disastrous for the Allied
caudo.
Must Strip to the Bone.
"This whole nation must strip to the
bone If our armies are to be given a
fair chance to win this war next
year," declared Mr. Page. "The view
is frankly expressed In Government
circles at Washington that our failure
to win the war In 1919 will cost the
lives of a million addition American
•oldlers.
"The whole thing resolves Itself
Into the question, 'Are the American
people at home going to make sacri
fices to make probable the winning of
the war next year, or shall our armies
sacrifice a million red-blooded Ameri
can boys because they do not get the
backing at home which they must
have from this very minute If they
are to win.
"The food products are pretty well
balanced. We are not going to have
any spectacular drives on meat sav
ing, wheat saving or fat saving, but
we must have a terrific drive on the
paving on all foodstuffs. We must
actually get down to bed rock and
live by this motto:
"Buy Less, •
"Eat Less,
"Waste Nothing,"
While the producers mußt add to
that motto the further injunction:
"Produce More."
Must Taste of Real Sacrifice.
"Our people have not realized yet
what real war strain 18. Before this
war ends they must taste of real sac
rifice. They must have a war con
sciousness that will make them direct
the course of theit affairs in such
direction as will aid in the winning of
the war. Every individual must con
sider the effect of every action upon
the course of the war. In no other
way can -we win without useless sac
rifice or lives and the continuation of
the appalling suffering In our Allied
countries and In the countries of
friendly neutrals.
"One very great Incentive to the
quickest posßlble winning of the war
Is the condition of 180 million neut
ralx, extending.from Roumanla on the
south and Including Poland, Norway,
Sweden and Holland. In some of
those countries there Is the most
acute suffering. Hundreds of thou
sands of those people can see abso
lutely nothing ahead except Blow
starvation. It Is our humane duty, In
addition to our duty to our own sold
iers and Allies, to win this war Just
as quickly as possible so that we may
relieve these people. We can do noth
ing for them as long as the war lasts
and all of our exports are required for
our Allies.
Non-Eseentlsls Must Go.
'"Not only* In foodstuffs must the
American people economize; we must
economize in labor particularly and In
other things that are large factors in
the war situation. It Is expected that
we will have between two and three
millions additional men in France
early next summer, with a million or
more under arms In camps In this
country. At the same time we must
very greatly Increase the number of
workmen In shipyards, munition plants
and other war Industries. All of this
means that there Is to be an unprece
dented drain upon the labor of the
country. Non-essential industries
must go. Women must take the place
of men In some industries that are es
sential. In France 96 per cent of agri
cultural work is being done by women
and children and the other 6 per cent
by old men and wounded men. We
shall not approach any such condition
as this, but patriotic women must
volunteer for such positions as they
can fill and men Just be relieved
wherever possible tor the harder man
uel labor required in agriculture and
Ahe essential Industries.
"The 'Work ot Fight' order of Gen
eral ffrowder applied to the new draft
Is going to work vonders but In this
country we must depend upon the vol
untary. patriotic elfort and co-opera
tion by every Individual man. woman
and child.

are confldenet that the American peo
ple will not fail in this matter. It is
a source of constant wonder to the
English, French, and Italians that we
have been able to accomplish through
Intelligent, voluntary co-operation the
savings In foodstuffs that were abso
lutely necessary to keep those nations
in the war. - k
"We shall not have the direct ap
peals of 'meatless days' ahd 'wheatless
meals,' et cetera, from now on, but I
am confident, speaking for North Caro
linians, that our people have acquired
such a war consciousness that they
need only to be told what Is necessary
for the winning of the war. The few
food Blackers, labor slackers, and
other kinds of slackers among us must
be made-to feel the withering scorn
and burning contempt of patriotic and
decentetpeople, so that they will not
dare endager the success of the war
through their disloyalty and failure to
do something like their duty.
"Our leaders feel that our people
desire to qjiare In the sacrifices that
have been made and are being made
by our Allies. Our people do not need
to suffer to the same extent as our
Allies have, but it shall be their priv
ilege, as well as their duty, to cut out
non-essentials in every thing, espec
ially in those articles that must be
transported, BO that they may not add
to the strain upon our resources and
upon our railroads.
Sugar Still Scarce.
"The stfgar situation is unchanged.
The October allotment will be the
same as the September allotment, and
it is not likely that there will be any
change in the sugar ration until next
summer. It Is hoped by that time we
will build up a sufficient reserve to
take care of the canning situation for
the next season. There are going to be
further restrictions on the use of
sugar for the less essentials.
The Flour Program.
"It Is very probable that within a
short period practically all the flour
fold throughout this country will be
ready-mixed, so that the housewife
will not be inconvenienced to the ex
tent of having to mix her 20 per cent
of corn meal or other substitutes with
flour. Until the mixed flours are ob
tainable It Is very earnestly desired
that every patriotic American house
wife will not make any bread, cake or
other wheat product without incor
porating with it one pound of corn
meal or other cereal substitute for
each four pounds of flour. Necessar
ily this mixing will have to to be done
in the home until the mills are prepar
ed to turn out mixed flour in large
quantities.
"All In all, instead of letting up be
cause of good crops, we must look
ahgad and tighten up in all things so
that this war may be won quickly and
decisively and all the horror in neutral'
as well aB belligerent Europe may he
ended."
Raleigh.—"The cottonseed Industry,
from producer to refiner, has been sta
bilised on a/ basis much higher than
any one could have hoped for a few
weeks ago," today stated John Paul
Lucas, Executive Secretary (A, the
Food Administration, upon his return
from Washington where he, with
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page,, attended a conference of all
State Food Administrators with Mr.
Hoover.
The price of cdtton seed has been
stabilized at a slightly higher average
figure than the figure received for
them by farmers last year. The price
of oil has been stabilized at the same
figure, thanks to the Food Adminis
tration's Influence with the rpfiners
and compound lard manufacturers
through Its control of export sales of
their products. The price of hulls
will be S2O per ton. The price of
meal will be a little higher at the mill
than it was last year unless the War
Industries Board can be Influenced to
Increase the price, of linters from the
present figure of $4.67 per hundred.
If the price of linters Is increased,
the price of meal will be decreased.
The price of cottonseed was fixed
at the figure suggested by the produc
ers of cottonseed as represented by
the Commissioners of Agriculture and
farmers' organizations throughout '.he
South. This basis was approved and
recommended by the Food Adminis
trators of the cotton-producing States
and accepted by Mr. Hoover and the
Cottonseed Division. The price for
seed will range from $64 to $73 per
ton, depending upon oil and protein
content.
The whole South Is being divided
Into zones, according to the oil and
protein content in the respective
zones. North Carolina will be divid
ed into two tones. Zone No. 1 showed
last year an average oil content of
JOYI-8 pounds per ton, and the price
of seed In this zone will be S7O per
ton. The content of oil la zone No. S
was last year 320 pounds per ton. and
the price of seed in this zone win be

ers.
Peace was not a question, declared
the President, of "coming to terms,"
for "we cannot 'come to terms' with
them," as "they have made it impos
sible." Peace must be guaranteed, for
"there will be parties to the peace
whose promises have untrust
worthy and means niust be found In
connection with the peace settlement
to remove the source of insecurity."
"It would be folly to leave the guar
antee to the subsequent voluntary ac
tion of the. governments we have seen
destroy Russia and deoelve Rumania,"
continued the President.
Five thousand persons heard the
President speak. Just before his ar
rival a guard of soldiers, sailors and
marines seated at the rear of the
platfoi>m were suddenly ordered to at
tentlon. They arose with a smart
click of rifles the national colors were
advanced and the great audience be
came silent. This dramatic quiet was
maintained without interruption until
the President, without other warning
of his comihg, walked on the stage,
escorted by Benjamin Strong, gover
nor of the federal reserve bank of
New York. Then a tremendous burst
of cheering broke loose which caused
the President, after taking his seat,
to rise three times in acknowledg
ment. _
AMERICAN FORCES CONTINUE
STEADY ADVANCE MOVEMENT
Lohdon.—wyth Bulgaria evidently
fallen by the wayside, with Turkey
Btaggerlng and with Austria, a welter
of internal discord and discontent, the
shaken armies of Emperor William
are grudgingly falling back upon their
own frontiers before the irresistible
blows of Marshal Foch's British,
French and American troops. The
French and Americans plunged for
ward again between Rheims and, Ver
dun while the .British attacked on a
wide front in the Cambral sector. Be
tween them they already have taken
more than 20,000 prisoners and many
guns of all calibers.
In the face of steadily strengthen
ing German resistance the American
forces in the Champagne continue
their advance and their front now
includes the villages of Charpentry,
Very, Eplnonville and Ivolrry. They
threw back German counter-attacks
with heavy losses to the enemy. The
prisoners captured by the Americans
alone now number 8,000 and the cap
tured booty Includes more than 100
guns.
The French troops east of Rheims
were equally as successful as the
Americans with whom they co-oper
ated. They have increased the num
berbef of prisoners taken by them in
the present drive to more than 10,000.
British troopß in heavy force also
■wept forward on a wide front in a
continuation of their efforts to drive
a wedge into the German defenses be
tween Cambrel and Doual with the
evident Intention of outflanking both
these buttresses of the Hindenburg
line.
AERIAL WORK IS SERIOUBLY
HAMPERED BY BAD WEATHER
With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun.—The second day's prog
ress of the American troops in the
new offensive was slight when com
pared with that of Thursday because
the bad weather and well night im
passable roads slowed up all kinds of
transport and made It nearly Impos
sible for the Americans to move their
heavy artillery. The bad weather
also Berlously hampered aerial work
and the movement of tanks.'
AMERICANS MONEY GIVERB
INBTEAD OF MONEY GETTERS
Chicago.—Having in past loans
"given the lie to the sneers and taunts
of our adversaries that we are a mere
nation of money makers Interested
only In profits " belief was expressed
by Secretary Daniels In an address be
fore the American -"Bankers' Associa
tion that the American people in the
fourth Llbsrty Loan will demonstrate
attain tfcat Americans have left the
valley of money getting and nave
reached the heights of money a givlng."
SUMMER COMPLAINT.
During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it ia of the
greatest importance that this be
treated propmptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
on hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scotts
ville, N. Y„ states, "I first used
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago.
At that time I had a severe at
tack of summer complaint ana was
suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other member* of my
family have since used it with like
results 1 For sale by al dealers.
It is as inucli the duty of the
consumer to eat less as it is the
duty of the farmer to produce
more.

VALUE OF BACK-YARD FLOCK
Average Size Vuld Be at Least Ten
Hena to Produce 100 Dozen
Eggs a Year.
(Prepared by the United State* Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Here are Jiorae safe figures about
what can be expected of a back-yard
flock. Each hen In her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs. The
average size of the back-yard flock
ahould be at least ten bens. Thus
each flock would produce In a year 100
dozen of eggs, which, at the conserva
tive value of 25 cents a down, would
be worth $25. But the 100 dozen Is
more Important than the $25.
Old-Fashioned Idea.
The old-fashioned Idea that round
eggs would hatch pullets, and long or
painted eggs cockerels. Is en Only
without foundation/
Use Hena for Breeders.
Don't breed from pullets at all tf
you c%n use hens Instead.
MAKING BEST GRAIN
All Old Hens and Poorly DavefSpeld
Chickens Should Be Culled Out
and Sold for Meal
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If efforts were made to dispose of
all hens when their best laying days
were over a large quantity of poultry
meat would be placed on the market
AH poorly developed chickens should
be culled out and sold for meat, also.
This would allow the poultry keeper
to make the best use of his grain by
feeding It to younger and more pro
ductive fowls.
Feather Pulling Habit
Feather fulling Is a vice peculiar to
fowls In confinement and la due al
most entirely to enforced Idleness,
though a lack of animal food In tb«
ration m«y Intensify the trouble.
