Balfour says: "Germany is not going to win the war by illegitimate submarine warfare." Let us trust that she will not! Almost every seaport is expecting to be subbed. P .S. We don't know whether there is such a word, but if there , isn't kindly copyright the came for us. i A newspaper man is up against it now sure enough. There are so many newsy things happening that it is a hard job to know what to do. The price of white paper, however, still maintains an iron hand upon the number of pages. We like the part of the naval con sulting board's plans which calls for Aggressive attacks upon the bases from which German submarines is sue out Germany's naval outlet is so small that it seems some methods could be devised to bottle up the subs. V morn-no; wit nesses Cody and Smith testified as to what they saw when they arrived on the scene of the wrecked car. It was in substance that defendant Wil liams was throwing whiskey into the ditch at that point, one jue being broken and another containing about three gallons of white lightning re mained intact and was recovered by a party in tho neighborhood. Witness- fosiifiHH that Williams pave them a bottle of whiskey each and told them to get it awav from there. Witness stated that Williams was busy getting rid of the whiskev and had not noticed that Scruggs, a fellow passenger, was pinned under the car with only his feet and legs exposed to view. The men who came to the rescue noticed that the man was making no motions and seemed to be lifeless, and they were greatly surprised to find him still alive when he was pulled from under the new Ford. Tho accident occurred at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon and it developed in the evidence that there were sev eral gallons of whiskey found at the scene of the wreck and that the two men and woman were drinking. Neith er of the defendants testified and is is not known whare they got the whiskey, but is supposed that it came from the South Mountains, the source of supply for this section, and a source that seems to be very bounti ful and ever increasing. The corn that is being used to make the blockade liquor which seem ed to be at the bottom of the distress ing affrays and accidents in this part of the State recently could be put to a better use, but it seems that noth ing less than a regiment of soldiers can stamp out illicit liquor making and selling. ; It has been suggested that Ger- i j. t i , inuu prisuners 01 war ue i,raiisierrtiu from Great Britain to America in or der to relieve the allies of the bur den of transporting their feed.

Berge Beam's office with tho following mem bers present: Mrs. Florence Winn, home demonstration agent, W. L. Smarr, county agent, and L. Berge Beam, Supt. of Schools. Mr. D. A. Troutman was absent. This Com mission was appointed by Governor Bickett and met in response to his call. This Committee chose Supt Beam as chairman and W. L. Smarr as Secretary and in accordance with the provisions governing the organi zation of the County Commission, ap pointed two citizens from each town ship in this county. The following members were appointed: North Brook township, Messrs. C. L. Eaker, nnd M. V.'. I.conharclt; Howard Creek Messrs. M. S. Rudisill and W. C Ris er; Lincolnton township, Messrs. J. A. Lore and Jos, B. Josnston ;Ironton township. Messrs G. B. Goodson and .Tno. B. De'lincer; Catawba Springs, Mosfs. J. G. Morrison and J. C. Mc intosh. On Saturday mnv 12th this commis' sion ii-.pt at cfwn silent Smarr's of fice with all mpmhers present except Messrs. J. A. Lore r.nd C. L. Eakcr. Prof. L. Berc Benm presided at this meeting; ' CIin? the meeting to or der. Prof. Bcurn stated the purpose of the Food Conservation Commis sion and of the meeting, . . After serious consideration of the pivivitv of the situation du c to the shortage of food and feed stuffs, the Commission decided to urge the farm ers of Lincoln countv to plant larger crons of Velvet beans, Soy beans peas and sorghum. Owing to the hiih price of soy beans, and the difficulty of securing a stand, the Commission wished to im press upon the fame's th irrwort nnee of knowing whether the beans would germinate or not. The com mission wish to impress further the mportance of planting a large crop of pens. The peas will be cheaper than the soy beans and can bo plant ed in the corn. The peas can be planted in the corn when the corn is about knee high. A small boy -can plant some four or five acres per day with1 a hand corn planter. This kind of planter cost about $1.25. Peas planted in this manner will give a large yield and the vield of corn will not.be decreased. This crop will be well suited for both the land owner and the tennant. The velvet bean will be a profitable crop for the land owner. The sorghum crop is another that the commission wishes to see a large acreage planted This crop will fur nish a large yield for man and beast. ft is a good teed to use until Janu ary. The seeds will make fine feed for the chickens. The Spanish peanut is still another crop that will furnish feed. Hogs can be fattened cheaply on peanuts. The quality of the vines for hay is superior to mat oi Aiiana. The Commission passed three mo tions as follows: That Supt. L; Bere Beam and County Agent Smnrr get out a circular letter and publish same in local papers for two weeks, and to mail a goodly number to citizens of this county. That County Agent Smarr devote the greater part of his time for the next two weeks in an effort to get a larger acreage of summer legumes and sorghum planted. - - - Mrs.-Winn,I B- Beam and Jos. B.

Leonard Bros, Make Our Store Your Store Lincolnton, N, C When the expenditures of the Unit ed States during the civil war rose to $1,000,000 a day it was considered a most lavish and unprecedented out flow of money. Now Great Britain's war expenses are reported nt $37,250, 000 daily -an appalling sum, part of which, however, can doubtless be checked up against her allies. Such tremendous figures stagger the im agination in attempting to realize what war will cost if mankind still resorts to it a century or two from now, says the Philadelphia Record. - Germany is having its troubles, but old John Barleycorn, with many oppon ents, has his vicissitudes none the less.
