Co-operative Mercantile I Company I "THE FAMILY STORE' That I the Kau!t Iah for By Simie AiiH'riran Military Officer- AH Absolutely Confident of the Outcome. The re neal of the German drive !n France, indicated by Lloyd Gearge's speech, finds American military men absolutely confident of the outcome. There U no doubt in the minds of high . officials that the enemy will be re pelled with heavy losses. There are those who believe that the end of the war may come this year as a result. Others, however, foresee a Ions offensive struggle by the German army while efforts to se cure peace on the best possible terms are made by the Berlin diplomats. In assessing the situation as it stands today in France, officers here point out that the German position strategically is far weaker than it was when the drive was launched in March. Their lines are now shaped so that there is constant danger of flank attack from several points that might mean disaster. To guard those points, ample reserves must be held, whatever the call for more men may be made from the front of attack. ALLIED ARMIES READY. Before the German army stands a force that has been largely rehabit ted since the shock of the drive fell upon the British and French fronts and bent them back, by weight of numbers. Losses in men and materi al have been male good. The armies are keyed to a high pitch of enthusi asm. American man power, sufficient to replace by far the larger portion of the losses of the British and French in the bitter fighting which stopped the first German rush has been car ried to the fighting zones supplement ing the considerable American force which already was in France. In addition many thousands of trained Italian troops have reached the front in France. They came with-i out equipment beyond their uniforms. ; it is understood, but have now been fully supplied and are available for , employment by the supreme com mander, General Foch. j MICKIE SAYS I EMPTY!' me WASTEBASKET wouldn't have to ec vo NEnB SO OFFEM IF S0IC Of THE BOOBS THAT'S TEN IN' TO cTVP THE BOSS OUTfiMA iVMOULO JST Cot OvjT SEnOvh" :H JUNK THRO BiitUh I'ru.T 1 TorjH-dtied ami Sunk Carrying American Soldier to the Frvwh Front Men I.O"t All They H:mI. The British merchantile cruiser Moldavia, earring American troops from American to Europe, has been torpedoeJ. and 55 American soldiers are reported missing. The liner was sunk Thunrday morning, according to an official statement by the British admiralty. The Moldavia is the third transport earring American troops to be toi- pedoed and the fifteenth troop ship sunk by the Germans. Of the ves sels earring American, the Antilles was the first to meet with destruction bv a U-boat. She was sunk October IT. last, when returning to this coun try from Europe, and TO lives were lost. The second was the Tuscan ia. which was sent to the bottom oft the north of Ireland February 5. wita a loss of life totalling 101. The only other serious attack made on American transports occurred last June when vessels carrying some of the first expeditionary units, under a convoy commanded by Rear Admiral Cleaves, narrowly escaped disaster in the mid-Atlantic. Thit German submarines are oper ating off the south coast of Ireland is evidenced by the sinking of the steamer Inniscarra off Cork with, loss of life. David Lloyd George, speaking at Edinburgh, has said that the subma rine i still unconquered, but that it is no longer a vital menace to the entente allies.

"Monroe Vulcanizing Co. undertaken in the south a proposl tion involving several million of dol lars and embracing a herj of hogs with an annual pig output of possibly two thousand. And thereby hangs a tale the tale of an old red sow. U was back in 1913 that Bob Bryant, fanning as many other young men farmed, found himself in the hole. He was not getting enough out of the ground to even pay ex pense. He was in debt. His brothers learned of his status, and sent Cam Morrison to look into Bob's financial affairs. Mr. Morrison found the pic ture had all of the gloom to it that Bob had pictured. During the conversation Bob re marked that the only thing that had paid on his farm during the previous year v as an old red sow, on which he had netted a profit of 1 152. Mor rison agreed with Bob that it might be a good thing to increase the num ber of paying sows. The way was opened up, and Dob set about breed ing high class Duroc Jerseys. It was not long until he was convinced of the wis lorn of his course. He began to see money coming In where it had fromerly gone out. Muph of the success which this young Mecklenburger has attained in Durors dates back to this same old red sow. Her name was Franclfern No. 1 140194. In the year 1913 cleared $152 on her as stated. She was really the foundation of his herd, and she was a Duroc of high type. Six of her daughters are in Mr. Bry ant's herd today. At one time this sow farrowed-18 pigs. She was the mother, grandmother, and great grandmother of 955 pigs. She died at three years of age, having made this wonderful record in less than three years. After 1913 Bob Bryant began branching out until he began to be known officially In his settlement as the "market" for good Duroc pigs. Later on his activities broadened and took in parts of York and Lancaster, S. C. and Union, Gaston and Cabar rus counties. Throughout these coun ties it was known by all who had good Duroc pigs that Bob would buy them and would pay a good price for them. During the 12 months ending with last September Mr. Bryant sold nine hundred and sixty-two Duroc pigs. He literally filled this territory with them, and is really the man who put the Duroc on the map in this sec tion. An Idea of how these hogs hare helped him to gain financial indepen dence may be had by the recitation of the record of Lady Gray one of the best Duroc sows ever owned In the south. This famous old sow is today eight years old. She is suck ling a litter of two weeks old pigs, and they number nine today, there having been 16 in the litter. Bob Bryant bought her three and one half years ago from R. B. Redwine, of Monroe, for $35, and he at that time apologized for her age, stating that she might possibly produce one more good litter. Through-out the eight eventful yean of her hogship's career she has farrowed 194 pigs. Mr. Bryant sold the litter previous to her last one for $1,000, and it was from the litter previous to this one that be raised the young boar which he sold recently for $650. An inter- His service to the livestock busi ness In Mecklenburg has been great. The Durocs gained rapidly in popu larity and the boys and girls who be longed to the pig clubs were always certain that they had a ready mar ket for their good pigs In Bob Bryant.

An American reconolterlng party commanded by Llet. A. P. Craddock of Lynchburg, Va., had a thrilling hand-to-hand engagement with Ger mans in No Man's Land Friday night. In the face of a continuous fire from two machine guns they charged the enemy. Although Lieutenant Crad dock and several of his men were seriuosly wounded, they continued fighting and drove off the Germans. One of the American was shot in the head and body and lay on the ground stunned. When he came to, he found a German holding him by the shoulder. He whipped out his pistol and killed the German. Another American detachment du ring the course of the night penetrat ed enemy organizations in the Bols Allogne, attacked a German post and killed ,flve Germans and took one prisoner. The prisoner told the same story as thousands of others who have been taken by the British and French that he would give anything to see the war ended. He apparent ly knew nothing regarding future German movements. To Cure a Cold la One Day. Take Laxative Brotno Quinine. It stops Conga and Headache and works off I be cold.

My Dear Mr. President: Recent press dispatches carry the Information that your country ha cast in its lot with the great nations of the world to not only resist Ger man aggression but to give quietm for nil time to th Germanic idei-l which has, unquestionably, for its ob ject the enslavement of the nations of the world. The moral effect of t'' entry of your country in the war w:il have an inspiring effect on the hos's of embattled soldiers already upon the "battle-front and a depressing ef fect upon the soldiery and peoples of the Central Empires; therefore, al most as potential in its effect as if an army of brave Costa Rlcai.s were al ready on the soil of France bearing at the head of advancing columns the emplem of your nationality. The flags of nations fluttering in the breezes speak the language of patriotism In terms more eloquent than poetry, or atory or music ever knew, and cheers to renewed deeds of valor those who march beneath their flowing foldi. Believing this to be true, I have sought to obtain the flags of those nations at war with Germany and as sociate them together on a common flag pole before the city hall In this city that they may be a perpetual re minder to our people that the majori ty of mankind believe in the recti tude of thl3 world-wide effort to de stroy despotism from the earth. This Is, therefore to respectfully ask the gift of the flag of your country to the city of Monroe. N. C, U. S. A., for the purpose named. Very res pectfully yours, T. L. Crowell. My Hosiey. The hours I spent oa thee , dear sock, Are as a string of purls to me, I count them o'er by the weary clock, My hosiery, my hosiery. First two I knit, then two I purl, Around the leg I slowly reel; Now joyful paeans to the heavens I hurl. I've turned the heel. 0 knotted ends that scratch and burn, O, stitch that dropped, uneven row, 1 kiss each blight and strive at last to learn To reach the toe, sweetheart, to reach the toe. DOUBT CANNOT EXIST. Investigation Will Only Strengthen the lroof We Give In Monroe. How can doubt exist In the face of such evidence? Read here the en dorsement of a representative citizen of Monroe. T. M. Chrlstenbury, chief of police 905 Franklin St.. says: "Kidney trouble had been my one weak point for years, caused by a fall from a horse when I was a boy. My back has been weak and painful occasion ally since and often a twitching sen sation comes through me and I can hardly stand. If I bent over, I could hardly straighten without support. My kidneys acted too freely and the kidney secretions were highly color ed, contained sediment and mornings I was so sore and lame, I could hard ly get up. My system was full of uric acid and I felt greatly run down. Reading a recommendation of Doan's Kidney Pills, given by a friend, I de cided to give this remedy a trial. The first box convinced me of Its merit and I continued nsing Doan's until my kidneys were In good order again. I have taken Doan's occasionally since, with the same fine results." (Statement given February 25, 1915) On May 4, 1918, 'Mr. Christenbury said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of a eerious attack of kidney trouble some time ago and I always recom mend them. I advise other sufferers from kidney complaint to give this remedy a trial." 60c, at all dealers. FosteMlllburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. "I say, doctor, did you ever doctor another doctor?"
