The day ts set apart at this season of the year when the tim draws near for tho starting of th winter 6rea. Th "lim bering up" of heating systems that have laid idle all summer begins. Tou dont know what may have happened to yours during the summer months. Have an expert go over the system when yon get ready to turn it on. and see that there are no haiards there. There service of an expert to do this llttl bit of Inspection may cost you two or three dollars. Th saving of this fe might cost you your horn or your business. Tou ar going to start Ares In stoves and fireplaces about this time. Take a look at the flues and see what the conditions are It may be a little trouble, but it's worth th effort.

Physicians under thirty-two years ot ag ar amenable to the draft tor soldiers, according to information re ceived from tb War Dpartment at Washlnltoa. As th law now stands very physician who Is physically fit and under thirty-two years of ag is a dratted man whethar his nam has been railed or not. Th need of young physicians In th army is imperative. Major Joseph C. Bloodgood. chairman of th Southern Committee on National Defense, says: Every physically fit doctor thirty-one years old owes It to his country to be a the Medical Reserve Corps. As a matter of fact, he Is a drafted whether his number has been called or not." The army calls for young physicians tor two reasons: they can stand the strain ot army lite better than the older men, and. as a whole they are not held by so many family and financial obligations. Dr. J. W. Long, of Greensboro, chair man ot the But Committee on Na tional Defense. Medical Section, will upon request furnish suitable blanks for making application In the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps. North Caro lina has not yet given her quota though she ranks ahead of tho aver age state In the number of medical men she has furnished the army. Control Cotton Anthraenos. Each year along about this time ths agricultural experiment station of th college and department ot agricul ture receives a number ot speclment of diseased cotton bolls. These bolls are more or less affected with a fun gus diease known as "boll-rot" or anthracnose. It Is a disease which Is spread by seed having been obtained from rotten or half-rotten bolls ths previous fall. Hence. It may bs seen that to properly control It the seed must be tree from disease. Aa It first appears th boll has a small pinkish looking rotten spot which entirely destroys certain bolls and leaves oth ers partially destroyed.,, When the teed is saved from partially rotted bolls It has within It th fungus and when the seed is planted it will pro duce plants bearing the "boll-rot" From this It may be seen that the disease 1 controlled by planting disease-tree seed. But It also has been found that the disease will live over in old stalks and boll left In the field. Where cotton is to be planted on th same field th next year the stalks and bolls should b plowed under at least sin Inches. By far the best plan, however, la to rotate fh crop, putting no cotton on th same lend eaeh year. Wher dli ease-free seed cannot be obtained In tht neighborhood It la a good Idea to go Into the field and se lect such bolls at an not a tr acted ana save the seed for next ywax planting. According to Dr. F. A. Wolf, plant pathologist, thi should be dona area It there la thus to select only a small amount of bolls. By planting theae separately in a small plot enough will be saved to make a patch tree from aathracnoM diseaaa. . taat la Peanut seen".

I Much Interested With Manner ! In Whleh Judge Opens lyes. Raleigh Judge Frank Carter, at ) Ashevtlle. la making about ths best war speech being Braid la North Car olina, according to Mr. Santford Mar tie, private secretary of the Governor. Mr. Martin heard Judge Carter at the Tadkla Superior Court last week. He says that ths Judge turned his charge to the grand Jury into a war addrasa. j When ' e began the courthouse was i comfortably full of eUisena, but whea he finished standing room only was at a premium. Mr. Martin says that opposition to ths war In that section of the stat ta more widespread than many would Imagine, or at least was before Judge Carter began holding court up there. But since he stormed ths citadels ot treason and opened the eyes of ths blind, as Mr. Martla putt It then seems to be much lees opposition to and a clearer under standing of what ths war It about Why Ws An At Wsr. Many are still asking why we an at war. Answering that question Judge Carter told the people that we an at war because the only constit uted authority In this country thst has ths right to maks war has declar ed war on the German empire. "Toa rant go behind that If you an not for the war you are aa anarchist" he said. But the bitterest opposition It against the selective draft system. Nobody Is resisting, but many an go ing forward unwillingly and a vast majority ot registrant are claiming exemption. It was In defense ot the draft lays Mr. Martin, that Judge Carter wat at hit best "The eelec tlve draft." he tald. "takes it for granted that every cltlien Is a pa triot No patriot objects to the draft. It Is only the coward and the traitor that objects. But ths selective draft goes farther it sayt to tht coward and ths tnttor. 'If you an not a patriot you've got to Be.'" Too Late Te Fight When Invaded. Replying to those who say they dont think Americans ought to fight until the Germans Invade this country, the Judge declared that be who seriously takes this view after reading the story of the invasion ot Belgium. Servia and Rumania is hardly fit for aa Insane asylum. "It will bs too lata for you men to shoulder your guns when the Germans have crossed the Yadkin river," he told the men ot Tadkln. And they were much Impnssed with ths argu ment Judge Carter took great pains to ex plain the tunctloni of the council ot defense, a local organiiation ot which hat been formed In all counties. Hs did this became it had been reported generally In that section that the council of defense Is another name for home guard and that th principal duties ot th members of the council ar to shoot down all those who re fuse to go to war when called. Mr. Martin was greatly Impressed trlth th addrass and ssyt Judgs Car ter Is doing Immense good in West ern North Carolina. He thinks It would be well for men who know how to explain the meaning of the war and duties of citixenshtp In this crisis to go into all ths counties and maks speeches Informing the people. He sayt four-minute talks should not be confined to city theaters and that a big mistake will be made If they are limited to th towns. Ws an soon going to wake up to the fact hs thinks, thst Information and Inspiration it needed vastly mon In the country than In the towns, and must be given If the state it to acquit Itself honor ably in thlt conflict Women Jump for Lives.

With the tailing back ot the Rus sians from rhe city proper and the ad vance ot the Germans northward along both sides ot the stream, the Rus sians still defending the western bank around Dahmlea seemingly are la daa ger ot being caught between the two fast moving bodies ot the enemy and made prisoner. Behind them th e Russians in their retreat from Riga an laying the coun try In waste, burning villagea and farma. Whether the city Itself remains intact haa not yet been made known but doubtless the gua t ia the fortress and the ammunition stores either wer moved or destroyed to prevent them from falling into tb hands ot the Ger mans. Aside from the strategic value ot controlling the gulf ot Riga and ot a base nearer the mouth of the Gulf of Finland at the head of which Petro grad Is situated for the moment It i impossible to see the importance of the German gain especially with the near approach ot winter, when mili tary operations in this northern region an almost impoanlble. Where the Rus sians will drew their new line in the north to connect with that below the point of penetration by the Germans also remains to be seen. On none of the other fronts have there been operation of great moment except in the Autro Italian theater, where the Italian have made further progress on the Bainsliza pleat eau and in the Brestovlxia Valley and at various points along the line have re pulsed fresh counter-attacks launched by the Austrian. Throughout this entire theater violent artillery duels an In progress from Tolmlno to the tea. Advices to the Italian embassy In Washington are to the effect that along the front of the present offensive the Austrlans have lost more than 128.000 men. Reports from I'dine.
