Yesterday's sales were blocked, the last house finished this morning. Probably a little more thau 2000000 pounds were sold for an average -of 30 cents which is evidence that most of the cheaper, grades are sold and the better tobacco rs coining in. While all the factories end storage houses are taxed to their capacity, there is every indication that Green ville will take care of evsrything that is brought here. Fanners need not worry over the probability of a drop in prices, either, for the weed is going to sell good, and it is within he bounds of possibility that more money can be gotten here for tobacco than any other market in the State. All the warehousemen are pulling to that end. STAR WAREHOUSE MARKET REPORT We had third sale yesterday, and while we did not sell until after din ner, all of our patrons were more than pleased. Our sale of over 60,000 pounds averaged nearly 33 cents. Several of our customers averaged around 45 cents for their load. We have first sale Monday, 2nd Tuesday, 1st Wednesday. The market is stron ger than any time this season. Keep your tobacco dry. SMITH & SUGG. Classified Column If you wish to buy or sell auytliing try our Classified Column. It brings results.

Red Cros s in Worthy Undertalnog Ed Hearne V rites to the Red Cross The! Daily News herewith publishes a letter from Ed Hearne, a local boy, now at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C, to th? Pitt County Chapter Red Cross, Greenville, in which he expreses thanks for a comfort bag sent him. The let ter was turned over to this paper yes terday too late for publication. Red Cross Association, Greenville, N. C. Dear Ladies: If you will excuse pencil which i a soldier's luxury, 1 wish to write a note of thanks for the comfort bag you so kindly sent me a few days ago, cannot begin to thank you as much as I should but I just want you to know that I appreciated the bag, and the thoughts from the depth of my heart. It is such a useful present and I really don't know how I got along without it before for I have used it every day since it arrived. There was a regular sewing circle in our tent the day it come, for we had been putting off that stunt until last button was off of every uniform we had. We each would say, 'Well, we must get some needles, but tons and thread when we go in to town this evening," but each time we come back without it, for you know how forgetful men are. But we sure mustered those needles into service immediately upon their arrival. . So you see there were eight glad -hearts, and mended suits, instead of one. It is vejy. kind of you- ladies to, work-ap ard for our comfort and we deeply appreciate all that you do -and each C us" fully realize that it would be impossible towin a war without the help of the women at home. Its their prayers -and their work that makes our road easy, and we all realize the fact.. Ill always think" of air the dear ladies at home every time ! Use the bag (and that is every -day)1 "and although when my boat pulls off from shore, and America -fades away in. the distance I may never see. her shores again nor may never- again hear i the voices of loved ones at: homey but some future day ; th '-'final reville where there will be" no -more ' parting; snail sound and" we'll all vnieetx again "no more: wars nor rumors- of waifs" and wliere right and . justice shall reign supreme.

French And Russian officers that--were-- in -the?; Battle of Tr-fdrm ,Wf,know Jthey ,tre.T Interesting, WheV-they tell-of --their Wonderful (BY. GEO. MARTIN) (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. The American Red Cross has begun an army of step fathers and mothers for the families of the countryts fighting men at the front it was learned today. The idea was recently announced. The plan is now in progress of execu tion. Thousands of men and women are being recruited to take up the six weeks course which will fit them to man the domestic listening posts in every city and town in the country. Seventy-five thousand soldiers' fami lies will have been aided in the con duct of their personal affairs by these Red Cross helpers during the first year of the war, it was estimated today by Director General of Red Cross. The aid will run the gamut of family affairs, from the giving 'of legal or medical advice to keeping up the . in surance and seeing that the mortgage is not neglected. The Red Cross ex perts will even assist financially in bringing some of the more ghastly chasms of unavoidable debt. This help will take the form of temporary loans. "The problem of financing depen dant families outright, however, said the Red jCross," is too big a problem. It should be cared for by the govern ment. When the soldiers and sailors returj;i f rom the war" "said Director General Persons, "the families entrust ed to the care of the Red Cross should be found to have maintained, as far as possible, the essential standards of home life. This work will demand more than a grant, of money or a temporary re ference to a doctor, a lawyer, or some other adviser. It will frequently re quire a long-continued acquaintance with the family, a systematic under standing and appreciation of its ideals, its ability to attain them, the obstacles in the way, and the application of a nnicHcal common sense psychology of stimulating and encouraging the family to surmount its difficulties and achieve success. The Red Cross has established ins titutes in conjuction with twenty or thhty universities throughout the coun try where-six weeks of intensive train ing will be given to these volunteer workers who wish to enlist in its ser vice. Assistants to Director Gen. Eersons, at National Red Cross Headquarters in Washington, are Dr. Thomas J. Riley, General Secretary of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities, and Por ter R. Lee, of the staff of the New York School of Philanthropy.

A Tnl of Civilization. -The remarkable people of this world ara useful to their way, but theF com mon people, after all, represent the na tion, the age and the civilisation.

Go into the Janes go into the back streets, go -Where the mechanic lives; go where the day laborer lives. See what Is the condition of the streets there. See whatthey do with the "poor, with the helpless and the mean. If the top of society bends perpetually over the bot tom with tenderness, if the rich and strong are the best friends of the poor and needy, that is a civilized and a Christian community; but, if the rich. and the wise are the cream and the great bulk of the population skimmllk, that is not a prosperous community.

Burns went out of the nous in the morning and, not return ing, his wife Joined him in the after noon with her two children. Seeing that' be was ''crooning to hlmsel, she forebore to interrupt him, but stayed in the fields at' a distance, where she could see him. She observed him wild ly gesticulating and at times fairly leaping with' joy. She said to Allan Cunningham, the poet, after her hus band's death, "I wisht ye had seen htm; he was in such ecstasy that the tears were happing down his cheeks." He committed the poem to writing by the riverside and went into the house and read It to bis wife at the fireside with great triumph one of the most notable, day's work ever done in Scot land!

The day of the memorandum cost system has definite ly passed. There Is no way of proving cost results except through the gener al ledger, and since figures not known to be accurate are worse than worth less, being dangerous because mislead ing, it naturally follows-that without adequate general ledger control the cost system is a menace to those who rely upon it.
