Mr. Cowper's idea is to enlarge upon that plan and have several adjoining coun ties take up the work and exchange speakers and simply conduct a regu lar patriotic campaign to offset the unpatriotic efforts of those who are endeavoring to defeat the purposes of the Government.

Callahan was pilloried extensively for disciplining the temperamental star. It was declared Callahan did- 't know how to handle Mamaux and that George Gibson, now with the iants, was the only man who could pet any work out of the youngster. It is being directly charged now that Mamaux is and has been playing for his release. He is not trying to win, it is stated, because he figures eventually wifl be transferred to some other club, preferrably the Giants. Evidently there is no chance for such a transfer, for John Mc Graw recently went out and pulled off a trade for Al Demaree, adding a mediocre right hander to his staff. If he could have obtained Mamaux he doubtless would have done so. MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR QUTTERS AMONG SAMMIES Surgeon General Gorgas is Taking Every Precaution to Care For "Gun Shy" as Wrell as Physically Ailing in Trenches. LONDON POLICE-WOMEN USE TACT INSTEAD OF BRAWN. London, July 20 (By Mail) One lost tooth and one blackened eye are the total war-time casualties of the 560 police-women who have helped to release 'harness' Bobbies for the trenches. The tooth was punched out during a slight misunderstand ing with a lady prisoner. Another minor difference of opinion between arrester and arrestee was climaxed by an unladylike wallop in the eye. Cecil Chapman, a police official, today explained that the police-woman must have an unusual fund of tact to make up for her lack of brawn. One police-woman, he said, was shocked by the hugging of a young soldier and a girl in public. She attempted an arrest but learned Washington, Aug. 11- Sammies will take their specialists right along when they go to France. -The draft own brain with them That was one or tne tmngs surgeon uenerai Goreras made clear today vhen he told how Sammie's aches, pains wounds, e-eriri and brainstorms will be taken care of. As for germs, the General is going around to every one of the canton ment camps in this country and tack up one of his well known and effect ive "No Admittance" signs. It was Gorgas, who drove the yel low jacket out of the South, made the Canal zone safe for ditch diggers and put the finishing touch on the bubonic plague rats of New Orleans. He is now in supreme command of America's surgical and medical war that as the pair were engaged they pans for the Sammies at home and had a perfect right to borrow and abroad. pay back kisses any time they pleas ed. So the soldier had the police-wo man arrested for interfering. RAILROADS BE NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEAT INTERSTATE RATES (By the United Press) Washington, Aug. 11.

The Germans are figuring on the possibility of the British and French offensives in Flanders forc ing them to retreat to their next of fensive line. A desperate hope of re taking the positions that would per mit an eventual northward retreat from the Aisne and Champagne re gions was what inspired the German Crown Prince to undertake his viol ent assaults against the "French lines, it appeared today.

Major J. E. Goldthwait, for instance, the wizard of bones and joints. The Mayo brothers of Roch ester, Minn., are Majors under Gor gas too. 1 Regarding mental disorders among the men, which he characterized as "very common in this way," General Gorgas said: 1 "We will take special care of these. Dr. Pearce Bailey is working on that in our department with the rank of Major. (Special to The Free Press) West Raleigh, Aug. II. Sixty five pure bred Jersey and Holstein cattle representing a purchase price of over $10,000.00 were boiujjit by North Carolina fanners through the Animal Industry Division of the N U Agricultural Extension Service during the past month. Fr. A. J Reed of the office of Dairy Farm ing was authorized by these farmers and associations to make the pur chases when on a recent trip to the purebred cattle centers of Ohio and surrounding States. The cattle are a distinct addition to the purebred roster of the State. Not one of them are from dams that did not average at least 525 pounds of butter fat per year. The average fat production of the average North Carolina cow is onlv 150 pounds per year. When a dairy man has a cow that produces 300 pounds he considers her a good ani mal. From this it is not to be inferr ed, however, that all of the Jerseys brought in will produce 500 pounds of fat but they will be a distinct im provement over the old scrub type. They will also become the center of purebred live stock production from which later on good animals for fam ily cows may ibe pbtaiined. Mr. W. T. Yancey, cashier of the National Bank of Granville at Ox ford, took a prominent stand as one of the leaders in the cause for pure bred livestock when he loaned the money to reliable farmers for buyiing thirteen Jersey animals. The money was loaned without interest and each animal cost between $100.00 and $150.00. mis action oi Mr. xancey's is in the nature of great inspiration for Granville County whose chief inter est has been the growing of tobacco. When the cattle were unloaded at Oxford last week and the people could see the class of stock brought in there was an immediate demand on the part of those present for the -same kind of cattle. Another) car could have been placed without dif ficulty. This shipment was the larg est that has ever gone into the County and all of the animalj had been placed before the shipment was made. The people were so well pleased that Mr. Yancey plans to have another carload come in during the fall. Besides the thirteen Jerseys go ing to Oxford, fourteen purebred Hoisteins went to the Valle Crucis Industrial Institute in Watauga County for the support of its cheese factory. Eighteen purebred Jerseys went to the Jersey Breeders' Assoc iation in Lincoln County. Mn.. T. A. Warlick of Reepsville, president of the Association, accompanied Mr. Reed on the trip and made the pur chase for his fellow members. Mr. J. ', Clark, purchasing agent fo.- the tate Hospital for Tuberculosis at Sanatorium, also accompanied Mr. Reed and bought thirteen purebred Jersey cows for a foundation herd at the hospital. Seven high grade Hoi steins were bought for people near Goldsboro and Oxford.

ARCHITECT BENTON WILL REVISE PLANS FOR STATION AGAIN Miss Hefner, first Woman Cheese Maker In The Southland (Special to The Free Press) (Special to The Free Press) West Raleigh, Aug. 11. With the establishment of a cheese factory by the Valle Crucis Industrial School in Wautaujra Countv. a Miss Hefner, a graduate of the school, has been ap pointed cheese maker and becomes the first in the South. Miss Hefner took a course in cheese making atPear,ne' the Pennsylvania State College last I ships winter to prepare for this work. When the factory was completed and begun operation this month she was elected to 'begin the work and will take an active part in both manu facturing cheese for commercial pur poses and in teaching the art to stu dents attending this school. The recent purchase by the school of fourteen head of purebred Hoi steins will enable jMiss Hefner) to turn out a higher quality of cheese Plan of Floor Space Sub mitted Uv Railroads in Accord With Benton's Elevation All Out of Proportion ARCHITECT BENTON OF. WIL SON WAS INSTRUCTED SATUR DAY MORNING BY THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO MAKE CER TAIN ALTERATIONS IN THE PLANS AS LASTLY SUBMITTED BY THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE AND NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAIL ROADS AND HAVE THEM READY TO SUBMIT TO THE CORPORA TION COMMISSION AT THE HEARING SET FOR AUGUST 20 The latest draft of plans are the most nearly satisfactory that the railroads have seen fit to offer. In fact the floor plan is practically a duplicate of the plans drawn by Ar chitect Benton at the instance of the Chamber of Commerce when the first plans of the railroads were turned down. The elevation as proposed by the railroads is not satisfactory nor do thev contemplate putting sheds on. The elevation plan is most un satisfactory wSIJh preference to the waiting rooms, which provides lor a room 78 feet long with only a pitch of eleven feet. In this the railroads propose to have both white and col ored passengers Wait, providing an iron railing between the two places Mr. Benton will revise the plan and the committee will insist upon hav ing sheds. The situation for an early solution looks morehopeful as the railroads see the futility of under taking to "dump" an inadequate and unsightly little building off on Kins- ton, think members of the committee. The members of the committee meeting with Fr. Benton Saturday morning in Secretary Lewis' office were: Messrs. J. r. layior, u. v. Cowper, II. C. Hines, E. V. Webb, W. B. Douglass, H. 'II. McCoy, F.
