NEW USE FOR PLUG TOBACCO Use It on the Windshield Of Yourj Car. The film of moisture which collects cn the windshield of a car in a rain is a source of danger to the motorist, for it obscures his view to such an extent that he can hardly see where h3 ;s going. It is quite useless to remove this water with a cloth", for more will re place it almost immediately. A simple way to overcome this difficulty is to wipe the cut end of aj plug of tobacco over the windshield after the film has collected thereon. All the coloring matter is washed off and a transnarent coating of glycer- ine-like matter remains on the glass, It is iniDossible for moisture to stick to this, so the glass is kept perfectly clear during the rain, without further attention.

Mr. W. E. Dcrsey, one of the lead ing farmers of the county and a fine citizen, died at his home three miles east of Oxford early Wednesday morning. The cause or his aeatnj was pneumonia. i Deceased is a son of Mr. Howard i Dorsey and is survived by his father, mother, and one sister, Mrs. Bessie Dulick, of Brooklyn; John Dorsey, of Georgia, and George, Frank and Charlie of the County, and also by his devoted wife and six children.. Sickness visited Mr. Dorsey's home ten days ago and one by one the fam ily were taken down. The father was one of the first to take the flu, which speedly developed into . pneumonia, from which medical skill and nursing was of no avail. Three of the chil- dren are now very sick. Comnlete arrangements for the funeral and burial have not been an nounced, but it is thought that the funeral will be held from the resi dence this afternoon at 2 o'clock, con ducted by Dr. Harte, the beloved istor of the deceased, assisted by jRev. G. T. Tunstall. The interment jwill follow at Elmwood Cemetery. . WHISKEY COULD BE USED TO GOOD ADVANTAGE f- There Is None In Oxford To Be HMl. A number of people here whose loved one are at the point of death, are leaving no store unturned to al leviate their suffering.

Only qualified I Actors and druggists are permitted ; to handle prescriptions, and the per mit may be obtained from the Federal Prohibition Director. Each . doctor qualified may keep as much as six quarts cf distilled spirits, wines or certain alcoholic preparations during any calendar year for use in emergen cy cases where delay in procuring liquor on a prescription might have serious consequences to the patient.. GEN. B. S. ROYSTER HAS A LIGHT CASE OF FLU Gen. B. S. Royster retired to his home this week with a slight touch of the flu. The Public Ledger learns that Gen. Royster's condition is not serious, but that absolute rest, for a few days is necessary. In the mean time Capt B. S- Royster, Jr., law partner cf the General, is looking after the affairs of the office. SENATOR VANCES WALKING STICK AND EYEGLASSES Back in the days when Zeb Vance was young and handsome, he deliver j V i i j i,j t i rru ghout the United States.

On the same night that the cane was pre sented to Vance, it was stolen from him on the train between Wilming ton' and Richmond. Eight years later the cane was found in a Jew nawn shop on Chatham street, New York City. ' Sad enough, but still sadder is the fact that some one has a pair of eye glasses which Senator Vance, in bron ze, has been holding in his iron grasp since the unvailing in the Capitol Square at Raleigh in 1900. Persons entering the Capitol Squ are this week noticed that the glasses were missing and an effort was made to locate them around the base of the statue, but to no avail. The eyeglasses were in bronze and were held in the right hand of the statue, which is extended as though the senator were making a speech. t FIFTY CASES OF FLU AT THE OXFORD ORPHANAGE The Management Has the Situation Well In Hand. Flu in a mild form broke out at the Oxford Orphanage this week with 51 cases reported up to Thurs day evening. .

IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC HERE . i V Z ' x, , Our local doctors express the belief ed the top in Granville, but the large number of pneumonia eases through out the county is causing them deep concern. Traced to Richmond The origin of the present epidemic has been traced by health authorities to Richmond, says the State Board of Health. It was brought first to Fuquay Springs, and from there has spread ever practically the entire State. It appeared in Fuquay Spr ings, about three weeks ago. The 'disease spread rapidly westward and is particularly vicl-m in the western part cf the State. Communities that suffered most severely in the epidem ic of 1918 have .suffered less this year and physicians believe that there is an immunity to be gained in having the disease once. Only Few Deaths Reported , Relatively few deaths have been reported thus far in the epidemic, but with the increase of pneumonia f that is expected for the next few vjayS fjie death rate will probably increase also. Influenza itself is not regarded as so serious as it was lest year, but the possibility of pneu monia following influenza seems in no way . reduced. LETTER FROM. THE CAPITOL OF TALLY HO Mr. R. E.

Last Friday afternoon, Sheriff Hunt, Deputies W; H. Whitaker ana C. W. Davis made a raid again in the neighborhood of Knap of Reeds, this time on Veasey Ridge. When they arrived at the suspected place they found a furnace built and about 500 gallons of beer ready for distilling. The still had not been brought to the place, the officers arriving just a few hours too soon- They had not been long on the spot when two men ap proached in the underbush and' came very near before they caught a glim pse of the officers, when they ran at a rapid speed. The beer was poured out and the only regret of Sheriff Hunt and his deputies is that they did not wait until later in the day. ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL WEEK The Subject For Debate This Year Is - Restricted Immigration. Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 5.

In Remarks Made Upon Taking Oath of Office As Secretary of Agricul tureAll Lines of Industry Should Speed Up Production Exact Reas onable Profits Tho Farmers Ask That Didustry Make An Effort to Save Labor Expense in Work Done By Hand. (Associated Press) Elimination of useless employees in non-productive business, the speed- J ui& uy ui an lines oi industry com mensurate with the uresent activity ;of tne farmers, and determination of retailers and jobbers to exact cnly a reasonable profit were recommended as a solution for the high cost of liv ing problem cf Edwin T. Meredith on taking the oath of office Monday as Secretary of Agriculture. The high cost of living problem, the new Secretry asserted, cannot be solved through the efforts of one class, but all business and all labor must recognize the solution as a common duty or "less and less will there be of farm produce to divide among the whole 'people and high and higher will go the prices of that which is produced." Problem Mutual One xiic lctiiiieis ui iiiiienca saia Secretary Meredith, "are willing to assume their part cf the responsibili ties as American citizens in meeting any problem threatening the welfare and stability of our country but this high cost of living problem is a mu tual one, and they ask that it be: ap proached by all the people as a com mon problem. They ask that those engaged in distribution' eliminate tne lost motion ana not put so great a burden upon production as there is upon it today. "In other words, they ask that there is an adequate num ber of producers of wealth, and this includes property and fcod of all kinds, and only such members of dis tributors as is necessary to perform the service required. They ask that the banks, railroads, wholesale houses, retail establishments, fac tories, all of which are vitally neces sary to the farmer and recognized by him as such, be speeded up along with .hitn'that. the wprk now done by three: men may-be.. done,:: if, possible, f tion aBtiftTttSntfntr tion and jaTOT lightened." : . v ' :v Invires Labor's Help "The farmers ask that the laborers in the mines, factory and the mills who are also real producers along with the farmers, make an effort comparable to his to see there is just as little labor expense as possible in each article turned out by their hands, thereby helping .the farmers of America who in turn will help the laborer. Given this and the manu facturers, jobbers and retailers tak ing a reasonable profit and recog nizing the harm that must ultimately come from profiteering upon the farmer, the question of the high cost of living vill largely solve itself to the permanent good of all con cerned." IMPORTANT TO PLACE FERTDLIZER ORDERS NOW Proper Fertilization Is an Import ant Matter This Year, It Is Urged. An important matter to which fer tilizer manufacturers and others are calling attention at this time is that farmers should pace their orders for fertilizers at an early date, if they ex pect to obtain all needed for this year's crop. There is a shortage of a good many of the carriers of plant food," due to several ' causes. This shortage is particularly applicable to acid phosphate, an account of the strikes in the phosphate fields,, and the inability of the railroad compani es to furnish cars to move the mater ial. Most of the fertilizer compani es are now from two to three months behind in manufacturing and filling orders. The suggestion they make, therefore, is that ail orders should come forward as quickly as possible. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION HALL AT SAN FRANCISCO Large Enough To Accommodate Ten Thousand People. The main hall of the Exposition Memorial auditorium at San Francis co, where the rjational Democratic convention will be held June 28th, will accommodate about 10,000 per sons.

FLU CLOSES CHURCHES AT EXON AND HESTER By advice of the State and local health officers there wiU be no ser vices at Hester and Enon on Satur day and Sunday, Feb. 7th and 8th.' " G.T. TUNSTALL AN ODD CHARACTER TWENTY YEARS AGO An odd character in Granville; County some years ago was Bella Boon, wife of Wiliam Boon. They were colored people and lived in Tally Ho. According to Sheriff Hunt, who knew Bella,, she was very active all; the days of her life and died at the age 103. Bella often made trips to Oxford. Before leaving home she would al ways place a bundle upon her head," and with knitting needles in hand she started on the journey of ten - miles to town. She always made it a rule to, knit one sock on the trip to town and one on the return trip home. Bella did the family washing for . several white people in her neighbor hood, said Sheriff Hunt, and never charged more than 25 cents for a full days work. Bella often remarked that if work would take people to heaven she "was gwine to get thar." 200 PER CENT INCREASE : IN SOME FOODS IS SHOWN Bacon and Ham Lead Meats, With Bread, Butter, Eggs and Every thing Else Up. Increase of from .50 to 200 per cent in retail prices of the principal food products of the country and from 70 to more than 200 per cent in whole sale during the last six years, are shown in figures issued by the bureau of labor statistics Taking the year 1913 as the normal year for basing comparative prices, the bureau shpws that by - December 1919 retail prices of meats had ad- , vanced from 50 to 80 per cent over the average for 1913. Bacon and ham led meat prices with increases of 86 per cent each and pork chops stood second with an advance of 81 per cent. Butter rose 104 per cent, eggs 161 per cent, hens 84 per cent and lard 121 per cent. Wholesale clothing prices, accord ing to the bureaus figures, showed an increase of 235 per cent last Decem- jber over 1913 levels and house fur- , nishings went up 203 per cent. An advance of 134 per cent in food as a commodity was shown while farm products rose 144-per cent. Lumber and : buiding . materials climbed- 153 per, cent in- the sii years .while. ; the average of all the commoditiestabn- FARMERS DISSATISFIED WITH COUNTRY LIFE Inability to Secure Labor Is the Chief Cause. Indications of a widespread spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction among the farmers of the country, ' sov threatening as likely to disturb the existing economic! structure, is con sidered by government officials to be revealed in more than 40,000 replies j to a questionnaire recently sent out by the postoffice department. The views of the 40,000 or ; more farmers were obtained by the board-! casting of 200,000 copies of a ques tionnaire throughout the agricultural States asking for suggestions where by the postoffice department might aid in cutting down the cost of liv ing. The major complaints of the. farmers seem to be: Inabiity to obtain labor to jwork the farms, hired help and the farm ers' children having been lured to. the city by higher wages and easier living. High profits taken by middlemen for the mere handling of food pro ducts. Lack cf proper agencies of contact between the farmer and the ultimate consumer. Probably 50 per cent of the replies indicate that the writers contem plate either leaving their farms or curtailing acreage under cultivation because of one or more of the three major grievances and because of the growing feeling against non-producing city dwellers. 1918 DEATH RATE THE HIGHEST EVER Influenza Death Rate Was More Than 284 Per 100,000 Total of 380,996 Occurred in Last Four Months.

Of the total deaths, 477, 467, or over 32 per cent, were due to influen za and pneumonia. 380,996 having occurred in the last four months of the year, when an epidemic of these diseases prevailed. The rate of in fluenza and pneumonia was 583.2 per 1,000. Influenza caused 244,681 deaths, and pneumonia 232,786, showing rates of 289.9 and 284.3 per 100.000. respectively the highest rates which ever have appeared for these causes: k v Recruiting Officer Here Sergt.
