WEDNESDAY. OCT. 17, 1917 WILL FIND FEW MARKETS Secretary Keulield, in an address to the Southern Commercial Con gress in New York Tuesday nijrht, ilcvlaivid that liermany would lincl a liill'erent world after this war and he predicted that it would be dillicult for Ciennau merchants to reestablish their trade in foreign countries. The secretary pointed out that Americans had sulwd tho dyestutl' and potash problem and that these industries were lure to stay. Mr. Medtield docs not ayree with (icrman paper that German com n.rive an be picked up where it Pl.d at the boirinninij of as ui .o nation win iunjrer care b pendent en (iermany for es s n'.iais ;;i.d as a result the commo. i!.-.:..- r.-A' I'lU'nished by that country will be :i.atr.ifactured or produced a.

No ma a will want German-made goods and that trade mark will bo a draw back v.ithor than a magnet. As Germany is an outcast among tha nations now, so it will be for years after the ch:5. of the war. It is Germany's fault, and Teutons can thank their Prussian leaders for it. I'ACL ISIGAR FAMINE Tin- American public has been ap pealvd to cut down their consump tion of candy and sweet drinks by the f.-wi! administration, owing to the threatened faming in sujrar. The French have one pound of suar per jitr.-oji per iivmth, and the shortage is d ie not to exports, but to extrava tranr in the United States. Americans arc as devoted to their country as other peoples, but they have not realized that we are in the war, "We Oun't suprmse there is one family in I'o that has taken the warnings of the food control board se-rioii.-dy. Tho more well to do can buy sugar at any price, but the poor will suf fer in case of a serious shortage, ilf we are to help, we should begin to cut down on .sugar, meat, and wheat flour. To do that would be to he!) our soldiers. All three of the owners of the Keo wee Courier, published at Walhalla, S. C, are of German extraction, but no paper in tho country, according to the Columbia State, is doing bet ter service for the government. The Record is reproducing what the Cour ier says. A good many of us, liv ing in communities where the Ger man name predominates, might be Jed to think that a milk and water policy would please most, when a3 a matter of fact our people, with Germ-in names are as thorough Am ericans as anybody. There are not enough thoughtless people in any community to help a newspaper if it wanted to do wrong. Mr. F. M. Williams has leased the JSewton Enterprise to Mr. W. 11 Hurgctt and the new editor will take charge this week. Tho Record wish es him well. It is worth while to say here that Mr. Williams has made the enterprise one of tho ablest papers in the country, his editorials show ing both ability and erudition. His retirement from tho field, even tem porarily, will be regretted by his host of readers and friends. Iiccord friend arc asked to re member that our force is small and that wo must depend on our friends for locala. We want to print them. Use the tolophonc, if you don't mind, and wo will do tho rest. Tho Record has not told the Far mers' Union what it should do about electing n president. Thats' none of our business. Wo might observe, however, that n man like C. C. Wright of Wiikcs would do a credit to tho organization. John Wanamaker bought $2,500, 000 of Liberty Iionds. Men with good heads want them. There are thousands of dollars ly- j inj: idle in this section of North Carolina that should be placed in Liberty Bonds. FREEBORN AMERICANS Walhalln, S. C, Keowee Courier. The following- editorial para graph we take from the Columbia State of last Friday: "If one would have an example of a weekly newspaper that not on ly is loval to the government, but effectively loyal, the State com mends to him the Keowee Courier of Wlalhalla. In all of the va rious movements connected with the carrying on of the war the Koewee Courier has given the kind of aid that counts, and it has kept the pub lis opinion of its town and county correctly and fully informed. By the way, two or three editors and owners of the Courier have names that indicate German ancestory, which is merely another proof that the overwhelming majority of people of German blood in this country are not less resolved that American lib erties shall be preserved than are I, the people of English, Scotch and Irish extraction. AW thank you for the compliment! Our eood friend of the State says that the names of two of the Cour ier's editors and ownclrs indicate German aneestery. The name m. dilations are not deceptive, except for the fact that all three of the edi tors and owners of the Courier come from German stock. ror in stance: Steck Paternal stock German back to the time "when the memory of man runneth not." JMaternal, three-fourths German, one-fourth French. Present generation not less than seven-eights German ex. traction. Shelor -Paternal stock German in toto; maternal, German and English. Present generation not less than three-fourths German extraction. Schroder Paternal and maternal stock German. Present generation full German extraction. Steck Shelor and Schroder- Free born American citizens of Ger man extraction. There are lots of people in the world who can't be born in America. It's their misfortune and not their1 fault. The heart of the Courier is in this war because we know ou? country is right, and because we want that great country and that great people from which and from whom we spring to enjoy the same blessings of individual freedom and liberty that we enjoy here in Amer ica and because we want eradicated from every corner of the earth that grinding, militaristic form of govern ment, from the hardships and op pressions of which our forefathers escaped by coming to the United State3. Please label all three of us "Made in U. S. A." and we thank God for it! SPECIAL AT PASTIME TODA' The special attraction at the Pas time this afternoon and tonight is "Miss Robinson Crusoe," a five act Metro Wonderpiay featuring Emmy Wehlen the bewitching star who wears the very latest word in Lucile the famous Lady duff Gordan's cre ations. From the opening scene to the very last, Miss W.ehlen's gowns will be a delight to the eye and will oeffr many suggestions to the fair sex. The following is the story: Pamela Sayre, the pampered darl ing of New York's most exclusive society, longs for a romance with the cave-man type of person. Her most ardent admirer is Bertie Hol den, worthless son of wealthy par ents. Pamela lives with two maid en aunts, Aunt Agatha and Aunt Eloise. The former is a lover of show and society, the latter' is very quiet. Charles Van Gordon, head c a Wall Street firm, is a gay old flirt who is attracted by the youth and beauty of Pamela. Bertini and Van Hoffman, two in triguers in the employ of a foreign government, present themselvess at the home of the two aunts with ex cellen lettters of introduction from Europe. The two foreigners are overjoyed when they learn that Van Gordon, a member of the government's war board, is there, for they hope to steal certain plans valuable to their cause. That night Bertie makes a weak proposal of marriage to Pamela, who promptly refuses him. Van Gordon believes that Pamela cares for him and presses his suit with all the power he commands. The young daughter of millions accepts him. Bertie is heartbroken. Desperatft, he decides to go to the Thousand Islands to forget it all. He gives Aunt Aloise his address and leaves the place Van Gordon later sug gests a trip to the Thousand Is lands. Much to the surprise of Pamela, Bertie meets them at the dock. That evening there is a costume ball at the Country club. Bertie purchases a longshoresmans clothes, hires a motorobat, steals into the ballroom and kidnaps Pamelaj He rushes her to the baot and takes her to a cabin on a lonely island. She re monstrates with him, but he forces her to do as ha wishes. CALLED TO COLORS Dick Campbell of Maiden and Wil liam McKinley Turnter of Monbo, have been called into the service of the United States by the local ex emption board. As far as the weather is concern, ed, it was rather warm yesterday 84 degrees, which was the same as a year ago that date. Coming Pastime Nov.

Rev. S. B. Stroup, Rev. E. N. Joyner of Lenoir and Rev. Mr. LeBlanc of Gastonia holding the service. Mrs. Walton belonged to one of the oldest and most prominent fam ilies in Burke county and was wide ly known throughout the state and was tho mother of Mrs. Ferris Gor don of this city. Her illness and death came very suddenly while she was on a visit in New York city. BABY MARIE OSBORNE AT HUB SATURDAY The story of Baby Marie Osborne's newest Pathe Gold Rooster Play, "Captain Kiddo," which is to be sihown at the Huib theatre Satur day, October 20th, tells how Baby Marie with two little friends play pirates so successfully that they un consciously aid a real smuggling Yransr bv drfcrtms: suspicion sfrom them and so hamper the activities of i handsome young revenue service officer who has fallen in love with Marie's mother. , There is a great deal of action, and L-aniong a number 01 tnrins is a "scene in which Marie hides in a tbarrel on the suggler's boat and later is hurled by the men who are ignorant of the true contents of the cask, from a high cliff into the ocean below. i SUBSCRIBE FOR THE RECORD SAFEGUARD THE NATION'S (By T. Alfred Fleming, Fire Marshal of Ohio.) These are war times; he who con serves and protects the food supply now is a patriot, just as u;u.ch as the man behind the gun. On the food supply of America depends the suc cess or failure of the Titanic conflict that has torn the earth asunder. The day's march of an army Is proportion ed to the food supply of ithat day ind the day before. Are You Doing Your Duty? It is the duty of the elevator man, the warehouse man, the cereal manu facturer, and all others engaged in the production of raw material and finished production who are "doing their bit" at home to safeguard the precious foodstuffs,, to protect the factories, the mills, the elevators and the storehouses. Have you safeguarded your business that not one grain of wheat, not ) kernel of corn, not one yard of bandage shall be carelessly and need lessly sacrificed? Speeding Up, Spells Caution. War time measures, and the de mand for finished products, means the speeding up of all industries; the employment of new men and the over working of machinery. The speed ing up process means that buildings built to stand the strain of normal work are being charged with double and triple loads. The consequence is that walls sag, floors cease to be level, and new fire hazards are created. The conveyor belts smoke with increasing loads, shafting gete out of alignment. This results in friction; friction begets heat; heat is the parent of fire; Are means misery, money loss, delay! Examine Your Water Supply. There have been cases where the water mains supplying huge indus trial plants with their means of fight ing fire have been half filled with mud, thus reducing the supply and decreasing the velocity of the remain der cf the stream. Have you tested your pressure? Ie It all right Often expensive chemical extin guishers (their outsides polished like mirrors) have not been tested since installation, and the nozzles are cor roded. How about your ptant? The ordinary 2 gallon chemical fire ex tinguisher is equal, in efficiency, to several barrels of water. They must be recharged once every 12 months, and if there Is any doubt at this time as to this having meen done, recharge them at once, and put the date of the recharging on a tag attached to the extinguisher. Standpipes and hose equipment should be tested and the nozzles ex amined to see that there Is an un obstructed passage from water sup ply to exit from nozzle. See further, tTfat the way to and about the hose "nest" is unobstructed and the equip ment cleared for action on every floor. What About Fire Buckets? Water barrels and fire buckets are often sadly neglected. The former are half filled, full of scum, cinders and sediment, and the signs pointing to them are lost or out of place. A fire bucket should never he used for ny purpose other than to carry water to a fire, and it should always he re turned to its place.

For adults and children. 60c PRECIOUS FOODSTUFFS should be of the round-bottom type. painted red, and mark d "for fire only." Stock should not be piled in front of windows, for the fire department may have to work there; nor in a stairways: nor on the way to fire escapes. Elevator shafts are flues through which fire may find its origin and roar from floor to floor. Keep shafts clean and safeguard the base ment, which la the last stop. Remove all inflammable debris from the ousU of-the-way corners. Remember, too, that certain kinds of dust are as ex plosive as black powder. Beware of Strangers! Doorkeepers and night watchmen are necessary at this time. Dont permit persons unknown to superlrn tendent or employes to wander about at will. It is dangerous. Follow the advice of the federal and state in spectors and of the representatives of fire insurance companies, for they not only have your interest at heart but they are of the flying corps that' pro tect the "Stomach Ammunition," the clothing and thousands of women and girls employed in the assembling and .packing of foodstuffs of America, Organize Against Fire. See that the "No Smoking" sign is obeyed. Matches should not be toler ated in your plant. Electric torches are cheap, safe, efficient. Every man who is engaged in any business of vital interest to the coun try should see 'to it that his employes are organized into a fire-flghting unit, with a definite assignment of duty for every man on every floor. There should be a detail to see that the wo men and girls are taken from the building in safety. The man who. Is at the nozzle should be coached how to apply the water. In many cases, more damage is done by untrained use of the stream than by the fire itself. To wet wheat, cereal, and the like. Is as bad as to scorch them. To The Fire Box. On all exit doors have a sign, plain and In large letters, "This way to nearest fire box." Fight your fire un til the department arrives, and then surrender the fire to the skilled men, Questions For You to Answer. Is your water supply clear of ob struction and adequate? Are your fire barrels and buckets In place, -with the barrels filled? Do you and your employes know : where the nearest fire box Is, and how to turn in an alarm? Is your force of employes organ ized and drilled to handle the plant's fire-fighting equipment? Whose business is it to clear the buildings of women and girls? Do you permit strangers to wandef about your buildings unattended? Have you a night watchman? Are your chemical extinguishers in. spected and operative? How about your standpipe and boss equipment; the nozzles; the immedi ate efficiency of all? Are your elevator shafts clear ol debris; your windows free of obstruc tion? Are your stairways and areas clearf Is the way to the Are escape unoS struoted?
