In order to prevent exorbitant prices and to pre vent gambling in foodstuffs, Herbert C. Hoover, federal food administra tor, has served notice upon the corn, wheat and other cereal exchanges that they must conduct their business ac col-ding to the rules and regulations provided by the food administration act or they will be subject to certain penalties which provide for imprison ment or fines which will put a crimp m any mans ordinary bank account, This is the situation: Mr. Hover, in order to insure sufficient recom pense for the farmers and at the same time give to the exchanges a fair amount of profit, has set aside cer tain rules and regulations which, for their purpose, indicate a clamp upon the activities of those who are engag ed in speculation in food products. Mr. Hoover believes that within the next month or so, trade conditions will change which will eliminate the high cost of sugar and resolve itself into a situation which will make for the average consumer a price com parable with the government price founded upon receipts received by agents which are supposed to know. According to an announcement made tonight by the federal food adminis trator the shortage in the sugar sup ply of the country is due entirely to the inadequacy of transportation fa cilities. Dr. Garfield, the fuel admin istrator, has issued regulations to pro vide against such a stringency in fuel. There must be coal and fuel for use of the government and there must be a plentiful supply of fuel necessary in the promotion of - the government agencies. Annie P. Davis, of Henderson, Geo. A. Coppedge, of Winston-Salem, have been appointed clerks in the war de partment. Civil service examinations will be held on November 24 for postmaster at Earl, Judson and Valmead. J. E. Latham, of Greensboro, and H. B. Varner, of Lexington, who have been in New York attending the meet ing of the Southern Commercial con gress, are here. NEW PARTY SWORN TO MANY REFORMS National Liberals Add to Platform Money . Start Is Made Chicago, Oct. 20. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Liberal a son, National Party. Parents and child are doing as well is could be "expected. Little National's five godfathers, Socialism, Prohibition, Progressive sm, Single Tax and Independence, hedged the youngster many species f reform legislation. They also took up $10,000 collection way of a stamp to provide for the .hild's existence through publicity pending his formal christening at "a million-dollar convention in 1920." The infant's birthright, according to the platform adopted last night, in cluded woman's suffrage, prohibition, single taxation, gbvernment owner ship of public utilities, labor reforms, ibolition of secret diplomacy, freedom of the seas, extermination of prohibi tory or discriminatory tariffs or taxes and creation of an international union to enforce peace. The platform advocates: Immediate adoption of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment. Adoption of the initative, referen dum and recall by cities, states and national governments. An executive budget a schedule of proposed expenditures prepared annu ally in advance by administrative of ficers and submitted to congress for discussion and modification. Amendment of the constitution through a majority vote of the people. Freedom of speech and press under certain restriction; prison reforms; seats in congress for cabinet mem bers, but without votes; extension of postal savings system; shortening of hthe legal workday; government insur ance for workers against sickness, in jury or death; federal child labor laws and federal employment bureaus. We have noticed that several auto mobile drivers have got into the habit of turning their machine in the mid dle of the street. This is not only con trary to law, but it is a very danger ous practice. A machine . coming in from the rear and not knowing the driver was going to turn might collide and cause a bad accident. Every driver should go until hexomes to a cross street or alley and then turn. It is to -be hoped that drivers will ob serve this better in the future. A model town is that in which you see the citizens patronize the home merchants, the merchants advertise merchants, tne merenauw au'"" in the local papers, and the laborers spend the money they earn with their own tradesmen, and all animated by a spirit that they will purchase at home, the spirit of reciprocity between busi ness and mechanics, tradesmen, la borers and manufacturers, result ev ery time in making the town a satis factory one to do business in. FIVE ZEPPELIN AIRSHIPS RETURNING FROM RIAD DESTROYED IN FRANCE Brought Down By Airplane and Anti Aircraft Gunfire Germany scored on the water in Saturday's news developments, which recorded- the breaking up of a mer chant convoy in the North sea by raid ing ' cruisers that sank two British destroyers and tune of the 12 convoy ed ships. She suffered little less than a disaster in the air, however, when four and probably five Zeppelin air ships, believed to be returning from a raid on England, were brought down in French territory by airplanes and anti-aircraft gunfire. The sea tragedy cost the British the lives' of 135 of the officers and men on the destroyers, who were left to their fate by the German raiders in their haste to escape, as were the crews of the sinking merchantmen. About 100 of the merchant sailors, however, are known to have reached the shore in boats or on British patrol craft. All but three of the trading ships were of Scandinavian nationality, most of them apparently being small vessels The character of the raiding war ships is not exactly apparent. The British admiralty describes them as very fast and heavily armed, while Berlin in its report refers to them as "light sea fighting forces." They escaped the vigilance of the Brit ish guard ships under cover of dark ness, both on their outward and home ward trips. The story of Germany's reverse in the air began with the account of a raid on England last night in which the bombs the Zeppelins dropped kill ed 27 persons and injured 53 others. Reports soon began to be received, however, of Zeppelins being brought down in France. These were at first supposed to belong to an independent raiding fleet. Dispatches from France ate in the day, however, declared them to be the raiders returning from Eng land. They had appeared over French territory, it was stated, and were scattered to various parts of the coun try as the alarm went out and the French airmen rose in swarms to at tack them. If, as appears from the dispatches, these were the airplanes which raid ed England, their struggle to get over German .territory was a long desper ate one, for those brought down were far from the sea when they fell. One of them was chased through several districts of central France before be ing finally disposed of. - The fact that none of them dropped any bombs in France seems to indicate that they had exhausted their supply previously. The situation of the minor Russian fleet which was caught by the Ger mans in the waters around the Gulf of Riga is apparently a desperate one. The Germans have sown mines south I of Moon sound to block an exit to the Russians while they are closing the ute to the north by their operations for taking possession of Dago island, which, Berlin reports say, are pro- eeding according to the German plan. On the western fighting front the artillery battles are continuing both I in Flanders and in the Aisne region, but no infantry operations of moment are reported. In none of the other war areas either has the operations been of a nature to command espcial attention. MORE TIME GRANTED TO HELP THE FOOD CAMPAIGN Raleigh, Oct. 20. Reports being re ceived by the Food Administration from every nook and corner of North Carolina indicate that the extra week granted for preparation for the Food Pledge Campaign, Oct. 27th to Nov. 4th, is going to result in tens of thou sands of additional signatures to the food pledge cards. The extra time al lowed bv the postponment from the original dates was heartily, welcomed by the 100 County Food Administra tors who would not otherwise have had time to perfect their country or ganizations. - A total of 300,000 pledge cards and kitchen instruction, cards and more than 200,000 membership cards have been apportioned among the counties and already many county administra tors are calling for additional cards. It is not unlikely that, if the present uddIv should prove insufficient during the campaign, an additional order will be placed and cards sent- to those counties which can use them. The great idea of the campaign is to bring the individual households of the entire country into intimate re lationship with the Food Administra tion and with the government not only is the active cooperation of ev ery family and every individual de sired in the conservation of food to c end that more wheat, beef, pork, fats and sugar, may be supplied to th6 armies and civilian population of Allies, but that in all things the whole people of the country may back the-boys in the trenches and render every possible service at home which may tend toward shortening the du ration of the war and saving the blood and lives of the brave boys who are baring their breasts in defense of the rights of this country and of humanity. SIX GERMAN TORPEDO BOATS BEEN SUNK BY RUSSIANS Two Dreadnaughts, One Cruiser and One Transport Were Also Put Out of Action Petrograd, Oct. 22. Two German dreadnaughts, one cruiser, twelve tor pedo boats and one transport were put out of action by the Russians in the fighting around the islands in the gulf of Riga last week but their ultimate fate is unknown, says an official state ment issued tonight by the Russian admiralty. It has been established that at least six German torpedo boats were sunk in the fighting. The Rus sians lost the battleship Slava and a large torpedo boat. The admiralty staff, in "its review of the fighting, says that the Russian units fought " excellently against the superiority of the Germans. The state ment reads: " "During October 21 important ene my naval forces, together with trans ports, were sighted by our outposts in the gulf of Riga. In Moon sound the enemy seems to be clearing the water of obstructions which we laid down. There was no naval action during the day, but enemy submarines were dis covered in the gulf of Finland. ,"As the naval operations in the Bal tic isles have now ended, it is possible to review them. The task of our fleet in this region was, with the organized position of Mobn sound as a base, to prevent enemy attempts to seize the gulf of Riga and Moon sound. So long as the German fleet only em ployed insuch an operation elements of minor importance as in 1915, name ly, two dreadnaughts, our naval forces could cope with them. "In 1915, although our position in Moon sound was organized incomplete ly, we repulsed successfully all attacks and the enemy during three days pos session of the gulf of Riga suffered losses so grave that he was obliged to depart.' A similar attempt in 1916 with unimportant forces failed com pletely. ". . "In the recent operations the ene my employed the major part of his fleet and his overwhelming superior ity enabled him to carry out debark ation rapidly and successfully. Our fleet only was able to do its best to hinder these efforts and to inflict max imum losses. With this object we de livered a series of attacks, using all the naval -resources in our possession. "As a result of these operations the enemy lost through mines, submarine attacks and artillery fire two dread naughts,. one cruiser, "twelve torpedo boats, one transport and numerous mine sweepers, all of which were put out of action. Their ultimate fate is unknown. We have established the actual loss of only six enemy torpedo boats, two of which were of the small type and were sunk by gunfire from our position on Moon island. The other torpedo boats were sunk in combats or blown up by mines. The Wreck of the torpedo boat T-69 is visible-on asand bank in Kassar bay. Further, our coast batteries sank four enemy torpedo boats. "Our losses are the ship of the line Slava and a large torpedo boat de stroyer of the Grom type. The effi ciency of our other ships has been maintained completely." German torpedo boats of the T-69 class were built in 1891, displaced 145 tons and had a complement of sixteen men. -They are 154 feet in length. The Russian battleship Slava, whose loss has been reported previously, dis placed 13,516 tons. She had a com plement of 825 men and was 370 feet in length. The Russian destroyers of tne Grom type were Tuflt in 1914 and displaced ljllO tons. They had a complement of 93 men and a length of 321 feet.

EACH REGISTERED MAN WILL KNOW HIS POSITION IN CALL Sweeping Change in Machinery of Selective Draft Details not'Disclosed wasnington, uct. zv. A sweeping change in the machinery of the selec tive draft, based on division of the 9,000,000 remaining registrants into five classes in order of their eligibility for military service, was announced today by Provost Marshal Genera Crowder. Details of the plan, which has been approved by President Wil son, are not disclosed. It is calculat ed, however, to do away with virtually all the complicated machinery of the first draft and to make the operations of the local boards hereafter little more than rubber stamp proceedings. The plan was worked out at con ference with local and district board officials and approved by the various state authorities. Its chief features are that every registered man will know his exact position and be able to arrange his affairs accordingly and that no man deemed necessary in any important industry or heeded at home to support his family will be called to the colors unless the military situa tion is desperate. Detailed regulations to govern the new system are now being made ready for distribution to local and district board members. General Crowder in a formal statement assured them that they will be given amply opportunity to familiarize themselves with these regulations before the machinery pro vided is called into use. As the next call to the colors is to be made under the new plan, this assurance is taken to indicate that the second call is not to be expected before the first of the year, although no authoritative state ment on this point was available to night. Provost Marchal General Crowder issued this statement: "With the completion of the draft of the first army of 687,000 men a new system will be installed for the creation of succeeding armies, which will greatly lessen the labors of the local and district boards. So far has this been accomplished that it is be lieved that under the new system 80 per cent, of the work will be eliminat ed while the forms to be used will not exceed 20 in number, as compared with approximately 182 forms which the present system requires. "Along with the reduction of labor there will be provided a system which will classify each one of the 9,000,000 men who have not yet been inducted into military service, and each man will have been given his place in the national scheme of defense. "To do this it has been determined to obtain from each man complete in formation of a character which will definitely fix his economic worth as compared with his fellow registrant, and from the information thus ob tained to place him ui one of five classes, each to be called in turn as the need arises. "The method of obtaining this in formation is through a 'questionnaire!' a series of questions calculated to produce the information required. This document will be mailed to every rey istrant not yet in service, on a day to be fixed, seven days being given to each registrant to complete and re turn the same. Every opportunity will be offered to each man to complete his questionnaire fully and without error. "The local boards will then examine each questionnaire and assign each registant to one of five classes. "These classes will be based upon every conceivable condition, from the family or" occupational standpoint, that should properly be advanced by a man desiring to be excused from military duty. Class one will be the first call for physical examination and service and when it is exhausted, class two will follow and thus each, man registered will ultimately take his place if needed. "Every opportunity for appeal from such classification by the local board has been retained and perfected, but proceedings have been greatly sim plified. . "The tedious work of the local boards has been practically eliminated by the production of a form to be known as number 1,000 which will be the foundation stone of the new sys tem. Through its use all the labori ous work of making and posting lists has been eliminated. All of the old docket sheets and records will be made unnecessary and by the arrangements of its columns the work of the local board will be reduced to a minimum. . "On this new form the complete his tory of each man's case will appear at a glance, beginning with his order number and ending with his induction into a military camp while at the close of each day's work the local board is enabled to complete in a few minutes with a rubber stamp what has hither to taken hours to complete. The sys tem in such that it will present each case almost automatically to the local board. "The completion of the new system will solve problems which have con- kfronted the provost marshal general nad caused him much concern. - "One of the most serious of these has been keeping together the great PROBABLY SEVENTY LIVES LOST WHEN AMERICAN TRANSPORT IS TORPEDOED BY GERMAN U-BOAT Vessel Was Homeward Bound. Un der Convoy, When Struck by Torpedo Somewhere in War Zone During Wed nesday Number of Survivors Is 167, Including Army and Navy Officers and Enlisted Men of the Army and Navy. Brief Dispatch From Vice Admira Sims Brings News of Disaster to Navy Department Accurate List of Miss ing Won't Be A viable Until Report Is Received From General Pershing, Who Alone Knew What Army Men Were Ordered Home on Destroyed Vessel, the Antilles Is First Tragedy of Sea in Which American Shin Engaged in War Duty Has Been Lost and Is First to Bring Home to People of United States Rigors of War in Which They Are Engaged. Washington, Oct. 19. The Ameri can army transport Antilles, home ward bound under convoy, was" tor pedoed and sunk by a German sub marine in the war zone Wednesday, About 70 men are missing and prob ably lost. All the army and navy officers a- 1 1 1 i 1 i-a uoaru ana tne snip s master were among the 167 survivors. The miss ing are members of the crew,' three civilian engineers, some enlisted men of the navy, and 16 of 33 soldiers re turning home for various reasons. Neither the submarine nor the tor pedo was seen and the transport, hit squarely amidships, sank in five min utes. This tragedy of the sea, the first in which an American ship engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of its magnitude to bring home to the people of the United States the rigors of the war in which they have engag ed against Germany. It carries the largest casualty list of the war, so far, of American lives, and marks the first success of Merman submarine attacks on American transports. That the loss of life was not great er is due to the safeguards with which the navy has surrounded the trans port service, and the "quick rescue work of the convoying warships. Secretary Daniels announced the disaster tonight in a statement based upon a brief dispatch from Vice Ad miral Sims which gave few details and did not say whether it was a day or night attack. An accurate list of the missing cannot be issued until General Pershing reports the names of the, army men on the vessel and the ist of the merchant crew. EIGHT IN ONE FAMILY VICTIMS OF AIR RAID London, Oct. 20. Of the 27 deaths officially reported as the result of last night's air raid, seven persons were killed outright by bombs that fell in the shopping district of London and 13 by torpedo which destroyed three houses in the residential quarter. Of the latter victims, eight belonged to one family a mother and her infant, four girls and two boys. A lodger in the same house also was killed. It is reported from an eastern coun ty that seven Zeppelins remained over head there for several hours last night and dropped 50 bombs, including a number of incendiary nature. No casualties resulted, but a farm build ing land an inn were damaged and two horses were killed in a field. Most of the bombs dropped in the open country. organization of the local and district boards which from a numerical view point is of the strength of an army di vision; many of these officials have been clamoring for relief on account of the drain on their time, and the new system will make it easily possible for them to continue their duties for which they have, proven themselves eminent- y fitted. "Another problem solved was the question of expediency of continuing the examination of the entire regis try, thus lring each man's status. This would have involved a medical exam ination of each man, whose physical condition might change from day to day, thus making this great under taking valueless. "Again, under the old system of ex emption and discharge it would have been necessary if the national need required it to send for the exempted men to return for physical re-examination, while in the meantime his industrial or family status might have changed, thus involving endless ap peals and confession. 'The new system fixes a man's class and calls him in his proper turn when he is needed. He will be examined physically only when needed. Thus the labors of the medical officers will be called for only when required. If the nation needs a half million of men they will respond each in his turn fix ed by his class. "TIe.man who can least be spared either as the head of a family or the head of a business necessary to the defense of the nation will be the last to go. "The new plan is being made ready for the printer and will be submitted to the local and district boards in am ple tra to enable them to familiarise themselves with it." FIVE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR CONSCRIPTED MEN Intended to Keep the Classifications Secret But Leak Occurred in New York Washington, Oct. 22. The five clas sifications into which men awaiting draft will be divided, under the new regulations approved by President Wilson have become public, much be fore the time planned by the provost marshal general's office and are here published. It was discovered today that what was to have remained an official se cret for a week or more was divulged Saturday night at a dinner in New York which Secretary Baker and Pro vost Marshal General Crowder attend-. ed. The provost marshal general dis cussed the new regulations, without intending to make public the classifi cation but some members of a New York local exemption board thinking to elucidate the general's speech, printed the classifications on the back of the menu card. The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered, to which class he belongs and in what order the draft classifications will be called to service: Class I. 1. Single men without dependent relatives. 2. Married men (or widower with children) who habitually falls to sup port his family. 3. Married man dependent on wife for support. 4. Married man (or widower with children) not usually engaged, fam- ly supported by income of his labor. 5. Men not included in any other description in this or other classes. 6. Unskilled laborer. Class II. 1. Married man or father of moth erless children, usually engaged, but family has sufficient income apart from his daily labor to afford reason ably adequate support during his ab sence. 2. Married man np children wife can support herself decently and with out hardship . 3. Skilled farm laborer engaged in necessary industrial enterprise. 4. Skilled industrial, laborer en gaged in necessary agricultural enter prise. Class III. 1. Man with foster children depend ent on daily labor for support. 2. Man with aged, infirm or invalid parents or grandparents dependent on daily labor for support. 3. Man "with brothers or sisters in competent to spport themeslves, de pendent on daily labor for support. 4. County or municipal officer. 5. Firemen or policemen. 6. Necessary artificers or workmen in arsenals, armories and navy yards. . 7. Necessary custom house clerk. 8. Persons necessary in transmis sion of mails. 9.

Highly specialized agricultur al expert in agricultural bureau of tate or nation. 13. Assistant or associate manager of necessary industrial enterprise. 14. Assistant or associate manager of necessary agricultural enterprise. Class IV. 1. Married man with wife (and) Dr children (or widower with children) dependent on daily labor for support' and no other reasonably adequate sup port available.- 2. Mariners in sea service, of mer chants or citizens in United States. 3. Heads of necessary industrial enterprises. 4. Heads of necessary agricultur al enterprises. Class V. 1. Officers of states or the United States. 2. Regularly or duly ordained min isters. . . 3. Students of divinity. 4. Persons in military or naval service. 5. Aliens.. 6. Alien enemies. 7.

What is more natural than that a young girl should seek her mother's sympathy and advice . when trouble comes. Mother's voice has been music to her ear since memory first dawned, her hand has rocked the cradle, rested upon .her head as ghe sped her first prayer, and smootnea her pillow during, the weary, hours of sickness. She can be trusted and into her ear is poured the secret that no one else may know. Whether it be an offer of marriage or an intimation of broken vow, mother will know best how to advise. If Washine-ton j-eally becomes, bone dry there will be no trouble hereaf ter in persuading Congress to adjourn early. 1 i ; V
