THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 1917 AN IMPORTANT OFFENSIVE V;ith the announcement from Rome that the Austrians had concentrated a strong offensive force on the Ital ian front, and the further announce ment from Berlin that the Austro Gormans had mot with considerable success against the Italians, the question naturally presents itself, "What steps had Italy and the allies taken to counter this operation?" That the movement was expected is seen from special dispatches ap pearing in New York papers for sev eral days. It was logical also to be lieve that Germany would attempt to check the Italians at a point which threatened ultimately the fate of Aus tria. If the Italians are able to meet it, or if the allies have lent enough assistance, the battle had as well be fought on the mountain peaks as anywhere else, because this has be come a war of attrition. A setback for the Italians would be a serious blow to the allies, how ever, and it is to be hoped that Gen eral Cadorna's men have been rein forced to a point where they can hurl back their adversaries. A defeat for the Austro-Germans here would be worse than the defeats they are encountering in Flanders and France, and would dishearten an army that has met with nothing but failure ex retir. nrrainst the Russians. The withdrawals in the Riga region of course were for the purpose of releas ing troops for the Italian theatre. Hickory people appreciate the hon or that ahs come to one of its for mer sons and a loyal one too of this city, and they will watch his ca reer with interest. Col. C. G. Hall, at present commandant at A. and E. College, spent his boyhood days here, and has many relatives and friends in this section. He will be in charge of a division of American mechanics who will supervise and keep in re pair French trucks and airplanes. That ho will do his duty well all who know him or his splendid brother, George Hall, feel sure. Hickory ministers will cooperate with the federal, state and county iood boards in the conservation of the country's food and the appeal to their congregations will be heeded, be cause their members know that they not only have their spiritual welfare at heart, but their physical as well. Here is a chance for the ministers both white and colored, to serve, and they will serve in this emergency as in all other emergencies that confront them. They will make plans to morrow night at the Chamber of Commerce, and other interested citi zens are invited to be present. The Greensboro News is getting better and better. Not content with buying London Times and Philadel phia Public Ledger conyriirht war ar ticles, it has signed Colonel Roosevelt via the Kansas City Star, and is metropolitan enough for the state. Readers up this way appreciate the iNews. Th ose housewives who put in much time during the past summer lay ing up provisions for the winter have no reason to feel worried. What ever comes, they will have what they have preserved, and if need be will be able to sell some. It was thrift and patriotism. yto cari everything worth while. Durham sold $380,000 worth of bonds to a Boston concern at a pre mium of $B,0B4. If town bonds are considered good holdings, and there is no doubt about that, then govern ment bonds are worth much more, because the country and the towns are back of them. We have no way of knowing how much tho wheat acreage was increas ed this fall, but it must have been considerable. One is irnnressed wit the quantity of small grain sown by observing from a railroad coach. It is everjnvhere. HEAR Mil. GARDNER Lieutenant Governor Max Gardner has many personal friends in Hick ory who will feel keen pleasure in hearing him talk about the Liberty Bond3. Mr. Gardner has spent much time in studying world conditions and he is well versed in the war, its caus es and the reasons for our participa tion. He will be heard by a large audience of Catawba people tonight. Mr. Gardner is a forceful speaker and is well worth hearing. Natural ly of strong mind, he thinks clearly onrl fnlk in nlain language. Inci dentally he might be the next gover nor of North Carolina and that is another reason why we should want to hear him though the immedi ate consideration is Liberty Bonds and winning the war, a point that Mr. Gardner will make tonight. The Record is in favor of allowing Col. Tom Bost plenty of rope not in the expectation that he will hang himself! hut it does think that poetic license should not be abused to the extent of running Dr. Edward K. Graham for the senate to succeed Mr. Overman. There may be a few utterly irresponsible university alum ni who had rather see Mr. Graham senator than head of he state's lead ing educational institution, but they do not count. In his present posi tion Mr. Graham is rendering great pr service to the state and nation than he could possibly render as United States senator, as brilliant as he is. Mr. Graham is working in, the interest df common, every day North Carolinians, and there is no better place for him than Chapel Hill. Governor Bickett has written Dr. Alexander a strong letter in which the point is made that the appoint ment of the doctor as a delegate to the National Farmers' convention was a rubber stamp affair, and not an endorsement of his attitude in the crisis that confronts the world. Governor Bickett tells Dr. Alexander that he has thrown away his oppor tunity to serve the state, and liter ally roasts him for endeavoring to fan the fires of prejudice rather than using his position in a constructive way. He thinks the docor is im pregnated with the virus of T. Wat son and LaFollette. The local Liberty Bond committee will not rest until the campaign clos es Saturday night. There is no dan ger of this district's oversubscribing its allotment, but it would be a fine thing if it should. This communi ty would be that much richer in mon ey and patriotism. It is not too late to hand in your suhsoripfcinn tn thft Liberty Loan. Make it with either bank. LIBERTY BONDS IN SCHOOLS By the Associated Press. Raleigh, Oct. 24.

BonannQQQnnnnnnonnnannnnQnnnnnnnnnnnEinca OLD PEOPLE ON INCREASE The porportion of old people in the world tday is greater than at any time in the history of the hu man race. At the taking of the census in 1910 there were 3,555 cen tenarians in the United States, there were 11,000 persons ninety-five years of age and older, and 4,500,000 peo ple over sixty-five years of age. In fact, a very considerable propor tion of the population then was over sity-five years of age. Statistics show1 further that the proportion of old people is constant- ,ly on the increase. That it is pos sible to add hlteen y?ars zo your life is not a supposition with all old people. Many of them ztz proving it. They have put asid2 the idea that at forty you arc old and at six ty you are ready for the grave. They have learned that by adopting proper living habits and obeying faithfully the laws of hygiene you may add not only fifteen, twenty or forty years to our life, but that you may so pre serve the organs of the body and mind as to make this period of life one of the most useful. There are more old women than old men. The reasons given for this are women live cleaner lives, are given less to ecess, have fewer infec tions, drink less whiskey, use less tobacco, carry less strain and come into old age with sounder organs. They, therefore, have a death rate lower than that of men, and they have a longer life expectancy than men. According to the census ta blet a person) sixtty-five years old may expect to live 11.6 years, those seventy years may expect to live 9.1 years, those J30, 5.2 years and those 90, 3 years. The causes of death in people over sixty-five in the order of their im portance are: Organic heart dis ease, apoplexy, Bright's disease and pneumonia. There are. aobut one third as many deaths from consump tion as there are from pneumonia. Old people must guard against colds and pneumonia, as well as agaisnt worry, extreme fatigue, exposure or strain.

Pastime n a a a a a a S3 a Helps Sick Women Cardui, the woman's tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Eversole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. Read what she writes: "I had a general breaking-down of my health.

Is your lack of good health caused from any of the com plaints so common to women? Then why not give Cardui a trial? It should surely do for you what it has done for so many thousands of other women who suffered it should help you back to health. Ask some lady friend who has taken Cardui.
