Cox to his home from folks atCulIowhee which will be of j much interest to the readers of the Journal. Lieut. Cox, of the Radio Company aRn a Lieut, from the Wire Co. an(i niso a Lieut, from the Oui: Post Co. were selected to go to France and study the French method j of Radio service so as to be able to train he Field Signal Battalion when they reach France: My Dearest Father and mother I am rested now and feeling fine. W e are at Winchester England and having a good time, with nothing special to do for the past two days. During this time we, Ramsay, Han nan and myself have been going, around and have seen about every thing of especial interest here. The Winchester, Cathedral the oldest in England, was where we spent most of yesterday. One of ' the keepers' I suppose you would Coll huii took us around explaining the rn;ny coatof-arms "that this or that or some other old Patriotic King or Arch-Bishop" had to do did, or might have done, had some jne not killed him. This Cathedral was built or part ly built by William the Conqueror, shortly after 1068, The stone work is almost perfect even now and the carving on the tombs beautiful. There are thousands buried un der the floor, but I was surprised at the large amount of space that 5 or 6 of them had, large rooms were carved out near the sides of the Cathedral and the tomb in the middle. It certainly was wprth dy ing in those days, to be "fixed up" like that. They, however, were the Norman Kings and the Cathedral Arch-Bishops so I suppose they earned such decoration; and t len "Bloody Mary" was there too, I don't remember all I Knew about her other than what her name im plies and that seemed to be enough. Hf had us sit down in her chair that she was crowned in, but didn't see anything different from any other chair except that it was very old looking and quite odd. Then the Monks "nodding stools" were quite interesting, they were fixed so if the Monk should nod. for ward when sleepy, after long hours ol sitting it would pitch over and the poor Monk would fall over which must hae been quite embarrassing or even a disgrace before the church, Well I am glad I wasn't born in those days, because it must have keen awful hard to think you could hot sleep in church no matter liow . tired one might be. Hare were many. other things of interest but the tombs of Xh Nor man Kings, Bishops, Queen Mary ad especially the '"Nodding Stools" miprestd me most as I wouldn't k;vfc wanted to have been eithe . v. us especially interesting to see. "how things went," as different ones v ould come in poorer. One would iild mere to the Cathedral or add j some - eautiful carving, and some .,e would come along and hack ail up Just leave a little to shuw :hey could have beaten it all UP if they had wanted to, then sotne one else would carve and build some more, and "so it goes" and now the German "Gothas," may tamb and ruin the whole thing tthich they are very much afraid of.

Wiih this data as a guide, va may project our work tor tne year witn assurance oi p.c .1 - t ! compiishing a good purpose with- out necessary waste of time and work. On the 55 North Carolina farms there was an average consumption jper person of 122 pou,ds of pork, j two pounds of beef and 11.5 fowls, ; smpment win oe maue &at once, weighing apptox imately 2 1-4 ' The box this time wil1 be much pounds a piece, or ?6.1 pounds of larer than the first one poultry consumed per person.

When those figures are given a State:wide application, we may see just what our farming job for this year is. In round numbers our present population is 2,500.000. To givej each person the normal meat allow-j ance of 122 pounds of pork, twOj ance of 122 Pounds of Pork two 'pounds of beef and 26 pounds of poultry, or a total of 150 pounds of ,meat Per Person il)e State must! grow 375 000,000 pounds during T , . .

The vegetables and small fruits from some 200,000 acres are j wanted. This is the North Carolina farm- er's job if he feeds our population as we have been fed.

The farm er's job as an individual begins to stand out when he considers these figures.

The population of Petrograd is quitting it hurriedly and various government departments are re moving further inland away from the German invader. Bolshevik councils in Moscow and the pro vinces are said to be more opposed to the Germans and a separate peace than those in Petrjgrad. Previous reports that the hard terms of the German peace treaty, which take from Russia thousands of square miles in Europe and Asia, would not be accepted by the all Russian congress of workmen's and and soldiers' delegates, indicated rIso that the non-peace elements in the Bolshevik ranks were gain ing the upper hand. Evacuation of Petrograd was mentioned as one of measures the war party proposed. w s s JACKSON COUNTY UN10NJIEETING.
