Big delegations from Sanford, Ham let, Cary, feigh and Oxford were in Raleigh forfthe Itearing before the cor poration commission in the matter of the request of the Seaboard Air Line that it belpwed to take off the Ral-eigh-Charite shoo-fly train service and chang materially the Henderson Oxford serlc!e. The hearing began at 3 o'clock adijW. L. Stanley, represent ing the Sejboard Air Line, presented the reasonsfefor the request, explaining that the n;essity of contributing the companV'sart to the government de mands forcjop movement and special freight serJpcW'really necessitated the curtailment; of. the train service asked. Mr. Stapej believed that the pa triotism of ? the people of North Caro- Una wouldfconstrain tnem in me iaue of necessity ' to go back to the ser vice of thenixedtrains and box cars if the reqiiirenents of the war necessita ted such ahjng. He believed that we are just-"blithe threshhold of the war demands .tghd that train curtailment is really limits inception. The saving of not a p.fcnny or a paltry dollar was involved iij' the curtailment asked, he said, but pimply necessities of the hour in serving the country in its hour of need fo waging the war. There must be 3&000 men of the national truard movdi at once by the Seaboard requiring ,000 cars, and this is only the beginning of. the movement. The Oxford delegation agreed to the proposed changes in the Oxford HendersorMiurham service and the comml8sio indicated sthat a probable solution-ofr the Raleigh-Charlotte ser vice woulof be that the Raleigh-Char-kAte shoo-fy will be taken off and the Raleigh -Nij-lina shoo-fly run extended to Hamletsand that this with a double dally service between Charlotte and Ifamlet wl meet the transportation necessitieaand' give the Seaboard an additional engine and car for troop movement The commission wants it understood that there is no intention of disturbing the present Charlotte- Rutherforgon shoo-fly service.

Exact figures were not available,, b'ut it was estimated by PresidentrRiddick that the registration would exied the expectations of the officials. However, it is not believed that the -nrbllment will exceed 800. . New Chapters Grafted..

The biggest Better Babies' contest ever held in the state and probably in the South will be held here at the state fair next month, October 15,-iO. For this purpose a wing or section jof the new Woman's building, recently constructed and .used this season for the first time, has been set apart and specially equipped. The interest of the babies has been well looked after in the new building, and their pres ence with that of their mothers is counted on as being one of the biggest features of this year's fair. The babies are already enrolling. Miss Mae Reynolds, who is secretary of the Better Babies' contest, is re ceiving applications and requests for information almost daily and says that such interest in the contest has not been shown this early before. The names of one-hlaf dozen fine babies have already been placed on the list. The contest will be again under the management of the Woman's Club of Raleigh, with Mrs. W. A. Withers as chairman. The same rules and regu lations as those governing the contest last year and previous years will be observed .this year. Babies from six to thirty-six months old will be admit ted and the same system of making the examinations and keeping the scores will be used. The services of expert physicians ,baby specialists, and trained nurses will be secured. Food Administration" at $2.20 f. o. b Chicago, which means, freight added, i approximately $2.40.

Approved August 10th, at not less than $2.00, Chicago which means $2.20 in North Carolina. It can- j not be less, this much is guaranteed; I v. t i. y,ar ! seem clear that we can produce in North Carolina a much larger crop of wheat than we have been producing at a profit. Every consideration of humanity would urge us to do all we can (whether at a profit or a loss) to keep fed a hungry world. In many countries women and children are dying of hunger; many thousands every week. Patriotism calls for "Special Effort" each of us in the sphere of activity for which we are best fitted, and thou sands of us here in North Carolina can best do our war bit in the line of food production and food saving. Let us double our wheat acreage this year: First: It will pay us in dollars and cents. Second: It will help to save mil lions of starving people. Third : It is our line of ' service to our country; a concrete and worth while expression of patriotism. I wonder if every minister in North Carolina "who preaches weekly to land owners will, for the next three or four Sabbaths, briefly urge his people to this duty? State is Best Hog Market. "North Carolina farmers have a bet ter market for hogs than the farmers of the Central West have." This strik ing declaration was made by Mr. L. W. Shook, of Edgecombe county, who was in attendance at the State Farm ers' Convention. Mr. Shook ought to know what he is talking about be cause he raises and sells several car loads of hogs every year. The Rich mond and Baltimore markets pay 50c. to 75c. per hundred pounds more for hogs than the Chicago markets, ac cording to Mr. Shook's observation. It will surprise most North Carolina people to know that farmers of Edge- i combe county have shipped during the j last twelve months twenty carloads of hogs. A carload of hogs, geenrally 80 I to 100 head, at present prices is worth from $3,000 to $4,000, depending upon the weights of the animals. The twenty carloads shipped by Edge combe farmers were sold at an aver age of 15 or 16c. a pound, netting the farmers of the county approximately $50,000. It is the opinion of live stock men that it will be a long time be fore the price of hogs drops much below the present level of $20 a hun dred. North Carolina farmers are prepar ing to take advantage of the high ' price of hogs by largely increasing the number of hogs produced upon their nuer L. on,ar thftir farms, old breeders enlarging tneir herds and farmers who heretofore have paid little or no attention to hog raising establishing herds. Agricul tural and livestock exports, however, are warning both classes of breeders to plant for their hogs forage crops which may be planted at this time and grazed during the winter and spring. Crops suitable for this purpose are rape .clover, vetch, and rye and other small grains. The profits that may be derived from hogs are great where they are raised largely on pasturage, but it has been demonstrated that hogs cannot be profitably raised by the lot method. Experts Urge Saving Seed. The North Carolina Agricultural Ex tension Service is emphasizing upon the people of the state the necessity of saving seed for planting purposes. This, too, in spite of the fact that acreage of a number of crops, during the present year, had to be curtailed because of the hirh prices which had to be paid for seed. Good seed of rcommended varie ties, grown and acclimated to the home section yield better where they have been properly seelcted than do other seed. W0MENT1T IS MAGIC! ; " LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluses off with -fingers no pain. Just think ! Ton can lift off any corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discov ered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bot tle of freezone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops di rectly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or cal lus, but shrivels it up with out even irritating the sup rounding skin. Hard, soft or corns be tween the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain be fore or afterwards. If your druggist hasn't freezone, tell him to order a small bottle for you from his whole- 8ale drug house. adv, r Went to Extremes.

Wnenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as a Gen eral Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON. - It acts on the Liver, Drives out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and Builds up the Whole System. 60 cents. Wastefulness. Some families take pride in serv ing lavish and overbountiful meals and overgenerous service of food. This leads inevitably to waste of food on the table and is a temptation to over eating which often impairs health and efficiency. Just From College. "How very seedy your friend looks l" "Naturally.
