Pegler of the United Press European atarf eays that
the Sammies are finding the old saying that the "World

lows of different units are accidentally running across
old friends and college chums daily. Hit not be surpris

how to get there."
All the evidence tends to show that the German peace
talk is but camouflage to enable it to get Ha second
wind. The German peace will not hold water, is not
leak tight and ia not built on the solid foundation of
justice. The Hun might as well read the handwriting:

GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
Elsewhere in this issue is printed a communication
from Governor Bickett addressed to the members of local
and district boards, in which the Governor gives it as
his opinion that farmers and farm laborers in the second
draft will not be called to go to training camps before
July 15.
This is good news not only for the farmer but for the
consumer as well. The farmer has been perplexed and
confounded to know how, to proceed with his pinna for
the coming harvest because a great deal of his help,
scares aa it is, has been subject to call at any time and
he feared that h would be serious loser if the sum
mons cams at the wrong time. By the middle of July
the farmer will be out of the woods, so to apeak. His
crops will at least be laid by. The assurance of Gov
ernor Bkkett of the retention of help now available on
the farms until the crops can 'thus be cared for, should
encourage and will encourage planters.
an i rraueni wuson ana secretary
Baker have made quick to let it be known that tbey do
not approve of the "caste system" in the army. Many
of the young men in the ranks of the new national army
are college bred fellows and many of them are superior
in intellect, breeding and character to a great many who
have won shoulder straps because of long service in the
militia or other branches of the service. The American
people are giving their aupport to a world-wide war on
autocracy and despotism. They are championing the
fight for the principles of true democracy based on the
Christ idea of brotherly love. They will not tolerate
snobbing or other mistreatment of their sons who have
answered the call of their country. The young man of
good character and seemly conduct must be respected
regardless of his shoulder straps. Considerate treatment
will not hurt the discipline but to the contrary will en
gender a responsive spirit of respect and confidence.

DAIRY INSPECTION.
The Free Press has long urged meat and milk inspect
ion for the supplies furnished in Kinston. It is gratify
ing that Br. Mitchener, county health officer, has mov
ed in the direction of better milk surveillance and that
Oity Council has given him support by passing an ord
inance requiring the observance of certain rules and
regulations by all who offer milk for sale in the city.
One of the important phases of the health work con
tempJated in the three year plan, which was inaugurated
in the county last fall, was proper meat and milk in
spection. The Free Press has been hoping that som
action would be taken. It has appreciated, of course,
that every thing could not be set in motion at one time
and that the wise course was for the newly instituted
health department to pursue its work according to its
carefully laid plans. It is to be hoped now, however,
that the new ordinance can be put into operation and
the necessary laboratory equipment provided fot ade
quate milk inspection and analysis. Milk is an essential
to life, especially to child-life. It is important therefore
that the supply be safeguarded so far as is possible from
contamination.
The Firee Press believes that the milk dealers supply
ing Kinston are on the average conscientious as any set
of' dealers anywhere but it also believes that through
Ignorance of the laws of infection and contamination
much damage can be done through an impure and un
sanitary milk supply.
KINSTON MOVES FORWARD.
Kinston's record sale for business property was made
Monday when 58 feet fronting on Queen between Gordon
and North Streets brought $36,100, an average of $622.41
per front foot The improvements on the property, al
though capable of bringing in a fair rental are neglible
as compared with the value to be placed on the grourfd
Several years ago the corner occupied by the Lenoir
Drug Company was sold for $600 per front foot.
Nothing so indicates the growing importance of a
community as do its 'realty values. Not only is business
property at a premium in Kinston but residence prop
erty is on the steady incline and farm property adja
cent to Kinston has increased many times during the
past few years.
The values are not boom inflations. Kinston has no
powder mills, cantonment sites or other Government
works to send its realty values upward. The enhance
ment is due to a more substantial, steady growth and
development of the district's natural resources.
"Great is Kinston and The Free Press tells it story."
Remember two nits invested in a thrift stamp is not
money gone forever but put where it will work night
and day with a guaranteed return in five years.
Washington, Mar. 6. The United States Government
officially has declared through Allied channels that it
does not assent to Japanese intervention in Siberia. The
Allies have so informed the Japanese government.
The United States has not protested against inter

Fort Barnwell, March 6. Three

here.
"It is extremely difficult to get

assistant in swine extension for the
Department of Agriculture, in dis
cussing the proposed 10 per cent, in
crease in hog production here Satur
day. "Therefore, we must get the
increase from the stock on the farms
now, by observing the following
rules: Refrain from marketing pigs
of barbecue size and from slaughter
ing animals weighing under 100
pounds. The second 100 pounds can
be produced more economically than
the first 100, remember. Also, the
packing houses Will pay a higher
market price for hogs weighing be
tween 200 and 250 pounds.
"Give the sow and litter better at
tention. Frequently all of the litter
can be saved, whereas now about half
the litter often die. Plan to get two
litters rather than the usual one
from your sow.
"Protect the hogs against vermin
and disease through the free use of
crude oil dips and vaccination with
anti-cholera serum. Improve the
stock generally by using pure-hred
boars regardless of the breeding
of sows. By following these rules
and using such grazing crops as
rye, rape, soy ' beans, potatoes, pea
nuts, etc., we can easily get the re
quired increase, and possibly some
to spare."
