This recommendation was, of course, based on the fact also that North Carolina now has three dug wool en mills working sn government orders. One of them, located at Spray, now has contract for 37.1,000 blankets for which they would be glad to buy every pound of the wool in North Carolina, vet there is no wool to be had.

General Young Is Notified That 2,007 Will Be Shipped Here Adjutant General Young yesterday re ceived advices from the militia bureau of the" War Department that a ship ment of 2,007 regulation rillcs was en route for distribution to the companies of reserve militia in North Carolina. A limited quantity of ammunition is also included in tho shipment. Three hundred' rillcs have been pre viously distributed to the reserve mi litia companies and thn shipment of 2,0o7 will provide a sufficient number of rillcs to equip every company in the Htato which has reached such efficiency as will justify issuing rifles. There are about thirty eompnnies in this class. Reserve militia companies, General Young said yesterday, need not expect to receive their allotment of the ship ment for several days, due to tho prob ability of delay in transportation to Ralegh and the time that will be re quired to check and re-ship the rifles. Tho only condition attached to "the isauanca of the. ritles is that they are subject to recall ifthe Htato should pro ceed with the organization of national guard unjta, as is anticipated. In such event, however, the recall will hardly be in the near future, REPORTS GOOD CROPS IN BEAUFORT SECTION Mr. D. W.

Special Aide to the - Governor, to submit to the Governor's office a series of suggestions for improvement ia the selective service work. Boards are urged not to be modest la venturing suggestions nd ideas nor to hesitate to offer any constructive criticism. - Major. Langston invites the opinion of the hoard members in the State as to whether the classification' can be im proved upon or the mobilization sim plified, and upon the best manner of locating and apprehending aeseHfT. His letter says: "During the past twelve months the local boards and other draft officials in this State have had varied experiences in connection with the administration of the draft law. They have had splen did opportunities for observing defects In the system and for framing plans that would in their judgment be im provements over some of those that are now in effect. A collection of the ideas of the vari ous draft official! would be very valua ble to the office of the Provost Marshal General. . All the draft officials' of the State are, therefore, requested to send in to this office as early ai possible a series of suggestion for improvement In the draft work, either intheform of amendments to the regulations, or in the method at the variour office! of ihe local board! and Btate headquarter! for carrying out expeditiously the reg ulatlona already Irt effect." E Conservation of 4 Million Dol lar Fire Waste Regarded of Utmost Importance Conservation of the annual firo waste in North Carolina of 4,000,000, by far the greater part of which is preventable with the exercise of reasonable care in Fire Prevention and Safety First pre cautions, being regarded as of tho ut most importance in these war times, In suranro Commissioner James R. Young is stressing the numerous warnings and reminders of fire prevention effort that come in the daily round of the people generally. The commissioner says these fire dan gers and bad conditions are being con stantlv revealed by fires that start and are put out by the skilled fire fighters or in some "good luck ' way. Then dan gerous conditions are brought to attcn tion through inspections made by Htate and local inspectors as to the character of buildings, condition in which they are kept; manner in which they ,are equipped ; through fires continually re ported as occurring from such cases, as the people are warned against; through addresses pointing out the dangers, and through literature designed to stress what conditions will tend to start fires. All these and other warnings, the com missioner says, should arouse one and all to utmost effort to end so far as North Carolina is concerned enormous flagrant waste of resources in life and property represented in the losses due to preventable fires and accidents. The reward, it is pointed out, from this general Htate-wide precautionary effort would be many-fold, especially the actual conservation of the property and lives now so thoughtlessly and care lessly sacrificed and the consequent big reduction of aggregate fire looses on in surance policies that would ultimately furnish the effective basis for greatly lightening the burden of fire insurance rates by automatically bringiug them down to their equitable relation to the reduced aggregate of fire losses. LIEUT. JAMES W. ALSTON WANTS TO PAY HUNT BACK FOR SLIGHT WOUND Colored Officer in Army From Baleigh Writes About Army Life Lieut. James W. Alston, colored, of Raleigh, son of George Alston, mes senger in the State Supreme Court, has come in contact with the Hum on the firing line, according to letters received from him in France by Mr. William J. Andrews and hii father. Lieutenant Alston in the course of his letter to Mr. Andrew! statei that he ha! a small cut in the face that he received a few nights ago, but that he hoped to pay the Huns for it in the near future with interest. He ssys that his men are do ing as well as ran be expected and he is confident that the people here will be satisfied with the work of the col ored troops in France when it is finished. In reference to assurances of Mr. An drews, be writes: "It only confirms the confidence and trust I have always had in my white friends at home, making it possible for me to leave m r family. knowing lull well that in the event of my not being able to return ta them after the" war they would always have friends that would look out for their welfare." To hijfltfaHer he tells about having brusheMiisi the enemy nearly every night and that his men are behaving fine. "It is hard on all of us," he says, "to wait for some One to attack ia the dark and while waiting and continually watching out in 'No 'Man's Land in the small hour! of the night, a fellow has lots of time for thonght and to draw near to God, and believe me, you must depend en Him for help in this place."

PLACING SIR SS ON FIRE PREVENTION Raleigh In Grip of Heat. Wave; Other Cities in Same Condition HIGHEST TEMPERATURE 99 AT3Q'CLQCJ( Today May Be Still Hotter, Ac cording To Weather Man; Crowds Seek Belief It may have been hotter in Raleigh years-ago but, bo doubt, it wiH take much argument to convince people of thiar city that yesterday was not the most disagreeable day Father Time has presented ia recent years. But is was aot. It is true the mercury began to climb early yesterday until at S o'clock it had reached 98.7 degree! but it hai been hieher than that mark. Yester day's temperalur wras exactly one-tenth of a degree lower than on June 2 when it reached 9S.S, the -season's record. Then the temperature lacked aeveral degrees of equalling the Baleigh hot weather record of July 18, 1887, when the mercurv reached 103 degrees. But yesterday wai hot. Early in the morning the mercury began its climb upward and before noon it had reached 94, the. highest point on Monday, At 3 o'clock it reached 98.7 and gradually receded, but at midnight the tempera ture still hovered around--95-degreej. There were few places in this city that afforded relief from the intense heat vesferdav but electric fans, street cars, narks and the municipal pool at Hrrk-wre-foptthtf places fr- Rolcigh people and visitors. "4l ntil early this morning people remained on the streets and in the parks to cool off be fore retiring. The municipal pool was erowded:to-'rhncaTaeity frem-mrlx af ternoon until late at niglit. Men, women and children sought relief in the cool water., . Dry clothes and stiff collars were about the rarest things noticeable. On the other hand, the sight of stout men and women eating ice( cream or seek ing tba gentle lephyr of the electric breezer was a common one. They had to get breeze from artificial sources be cause the wind velocity was extremely light, registering only five miles nn hour at the Weather Bureau. There were weather slackers in Ra leigh yesterday, too. In the opiiiinn of the sporting editor, a weather slacker is the guy who monopolizes the hme electric fan iu the office while other employes swelter and wring their hand kerchiefs. Tho highest August temperaturo re cord is Wl degrees and all indications point to a new August record today One year ago yesterday the temperature registered 89 and the mercury re mained around this figure several days. But it became warmer near the middle of August. The present hot wave is moving slow ly over'the eastern section of the coun try from the 'West and Middle West where the highest temperatures have prevailed. Monday, tho temperaturo wns 110 in Iowa and 106 in Missouri, registering 106 at Kansas City and St. Iouia. At Richmond yesterday it win 106 while at Washington and other northern places the mercury reached high record marks. l uless there are local thunder storms or the wind rises, Director Ie Densoo does not anticipate much cooler wea'h rr in this section for several days. In fact, the forecast is for still warmer weather today and a slight moderation Thursday. But it does not take any weather director to inform the people that it is hot. E Applications For Deferment to Harvest Tobacco To Receive Sympathetic Treatment There will be no further deferred induction of registrants eligible for mil itary service, who are ia class one, on agricultural elnima. Announcement to this effect came from Provost Marshal General Crowder yesterday and has been transmitted to the local boards by Major John 1). Langston, special aide to the Governor. "A balance must be struck and main tained between the military and indue trial needs of the nation," General Crowder quotes-from the regulations, adding that the military need of the nation is paramount. Unless district boards have applied the regulations too rigidly, the 1'royost Marshal says, all men placed in class one should be avail able for call at any time. Deferment of induction for agricultural reasons runs counter to this intent. riomctfme ago, when it was shown that a number of men in class one, who were subject to immediate call, were urgently needed on the farm until tin crops had been, cultivated. Congress passed a law authorizing the Secretary of War to make regulations tinder which the. furlough for soldiers for ag rieultural purposes might be obtained. Complaint was made, afterward, to the Provost Marshal General that merit orious applications under the regula tion! Issued by the Secretary of War were being denied. "But. notwithstanding this complaint, this office is convinced that the right to apply for agricultural furloughs has been greatly abused and the result is that meritorious cases have been pre judiced thereby. "Aa to the situation referred' to In connection with the harveiting of the tobacco crop of North Carolina," cob tinuei General Crowder, "it is suggest ed that if representation! are made to the appropriate camp commander! in a proper and convincing manner, an ap plication for the furlough of a sufficient number of men to take care of this emergency will receive sympathetic treatment and will accomplish the de sired results. 1 NARROWING FOR ARM APPEALS Those of High PersonalQuality and Equipment Needed For Overseas Service WOULD BE UNDER RED CROSS ANDY.

PLAN TO MAKE FAIRS PRODUCTION CAMPS President Home's Home Coun ty Expects To Win First Prize of $300 If the efforts of the workers attached to the Agricultural Extension Service of the Rtate College of Agriculture and State Department of Agriculture are successful, fairs to be held in the State this fall will be in the nature of food production and conservation camps. This is especially true of the exhibits to be made nt the oftth State Fair to be held on October 21 26. Many counties have already signified their intention of entering into the county contests for which prizes amounting to $1,000 have been offered. Johnston county, the home of- President- Home, has already thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the counties of the State, and expects to win the first prise of 1300 for the best display of field and garden erops by any county. In addition to thes.e county exhibits in which the field men and women of the Extension service will have a part in collecting, the workers at Raleigh and West Raleigh are also planning to show the great results accomplished by their activities in agricultural work over the State. .The whole scheme will consist in emphasizing the production and con serration of food necessary in the win ning of the war. . v The consumption of beef in America has increased from 57 pounds yearly per person in 1887, to 80 pounds per person laet year. New York eity alone last year consumed 168,122 beeves be tides 200,000 hogs. Many doctors think we eat altogether too much meat for our health. For LADIES MEN ."'
