Per haps phe boss will on you smile, and . -. "Boy, I admire you." perhaps e"l s ay that trade's so vile he fears he'll i e to fire you. We are at war with jword and gun," and as the trouble axes, our Uncle Sam may need much men, and load us down with taxes. From big expensa ther's no escape, when nations get to scrappin'; so let us get ourselves in shape to meet whate'er may happen. Let's purchase small tin savings banks, with red and yellow .painted, and in them put the marks and francs, and othep: coin untainted. In time of war prepare for peace, ths1- peace of mind unend ing, which to prudent folk who cease 11 va'n and useless spending; ;who have a package pur away, should ev! days come nigh them, who'll do with out their pies today, if they lack coin ""j buy them. Keep out of debt, for debt's a curse when times stre calm nnd cheerful, and n'-w that war is here it's worec it's something dread 2nd fearful. Be prudent now, before the stress o warhas mr.de us humble, and when the crisis comes you'll bless the day you took a tumble. GUARDING AND PROTECTING THE SOLDIERS. Every American citizen is directly responsible for the welfare of the soldiers that we send to the front. We cannot shirk a solemn duty by hiiiing behind Uncle Sam's coat; taking the position that he is to take care of the soldiers, and therefore it is not our duty. It is the duty of every man and woman and child to do anything, and everything that possi bly can be done to safeguard the in terest of these men. Their moral, fi nancial and physical well being are matters that directly interest and f ouches every one of. us. To this end it is our duty to support the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. and at home and abroad, support every civ ilian effort to keep and protect these men. The greatest and best thing any ''lurch can do today is to either send its 'own pastor to serve the soldiers, at least for a time, or to pay the ex penses of one to go. A preacher who is a good mixer, a man to deal .with mn. can do more good in a few weeks at a cantonment than he can do in his own pulpit in a year. The church is facing a great opportunity and the world is watching to see if it will live up to that opportunity. I IS COLUMBIA ROBBING THE SOLDIERS? The Greensboro News cites a few cases to show that Columbia is "do ing" the soldiers. The Greensboro pa iper said some nice things about the city, based on the declaration of the merchants that no excessive charges would be allowed, and now with so many proofs that the opposite is true the paper sets them forth. Just the other day we saw a letter from one of the new army officers detailed to duty at Columbia and he intimatjed in rather strong language that the f ull limit was the rule, that the sol diers iwere being "robbed." Another of these officers who spent Sunday at home intimated that the prices were othinp- short of robbery. Prices will naturally be high about the canton ments, this cannot be helped, but they ( 3tP. be kept within a reasonable dis tance of prices in other places. We 1'jope that the government that is tak- . ine: such good care of the fighters will see that they are not robbed bj the folks into whose hands they fall while training for service. It would be a shame and such a locality ought to be marked for life - From The News editorial we clip: "When the first contingent of offi cers arrived, Camp Jackson was still incomplete, and the men were com pelled to live in the city for several days. One man has told us person ally that ha boarded' at a very ordin ary boarding house and paid $3.50 a day. "Another officer is still paying $125 a month for board and lodging fol himself and his wife; they have one room without a bath. . A scrambled egg and two chips of bacon at a Columbia quick-lunch coun ter cost 55 cents. Four officers clubbed together to rent a house in the city for their wives; they were compelled to take a six months' lease at $500 a month for a house that originally cost some $5,000. Itj is five miles from the city to the camifr The trip, in a rickety Ford; costs. $1 for each person. ; Can Columbia maintain seriously that .these prices, are not extortion- aej? Columbia, ' of course, need ' riot j a?twnpF any justification unless she cno&esi sfi'e hits the; soldiers In he clutches,' aho!'- wnile they may squirm they will have to pay. They can't get away4 because they are in the service of the' government, sff& therefore may be robbed with impffnity.Tf Columbia doesn't mind being regarded as a den of thieves by 40,000 men and their friends she may go as far as she. likes. Nobody can do anything about it but Columbia, and if the honest men of r that city do not Mld the others in check, they will have to be allowed to run loose. Oh, we almost forgot. The'retail dealers' agreement may have been something; more than a scrap of paper after all. We understand that not a milliner in town has raised her prices. MORE WHEAT THE NEED. Food Administrator Page Emphasizes the Importance of Greater Acreage. To the Editor of The Herald: It is to be hoped that North Caro lina will this ' fall double its wheat acreage. Every cpndition tbat tends to ericouarge and; promote such a growth in- crar '.-production exists to day. Qur soil may not be the best in the; world for this grain, but it is much better than we think. Large areas in the central-eastern section of the state have hitherto grown little or no wheat simply because other crops paid better, and it was found cheaper to buy than to produce bread; and because economic condi tions made it unprofitable to grow wheat as a money crops, we have j progressed to the conclusion that the soil did not suit it, and that we could i not grow it. This is clearly disap proved by the fact that very satis factory yields were obtained this year in many sections hitherto considered unsuited, to wheat. We know that we face a world wide shortage of food, we have ta ken stock carefully and find our selves in possession of just enough wheat to feed three-fourths of those who must be fed, that is, on full ra tions so we are facing the necessity of three-fourths feeding all on wheat products, and substituting the other fourth of our bread, certainly until after the 1918 harvest. If we are to be in position to resume full rations after the next year's harvest we must increase our production fully one third. , The selling price of whea'c in North Carolina cannot fall below $2.20 prior to May, 1919. The price of the 1917 crop, now in our possession, has just been fixed by the United States food administration at $2.20, f. o. b. Chi cago, which means, freight added, in North Carolina, approximately $2.40. It is a crime, under the law to ex act more, it cannot sell for less, be cause the government will pay that, price for it. The price of the 1918 crop is fixed by the food act. Ap proved August 10, at not less than $2, Chicago which means $2.20 in North Carolina. It would therefore seem clear that we can produce in North Carolina a much larger crop of wheat than we have been producing at a profit. Every consideration of humanity would urge us to do all we can whether at a profit or at a loss) to keep fed a hungry world . In many countries women and children are dying of hunger; many thousands every week. Patriotism calls for special effort, each of us in the sphere of activity for which we are best fitted, and thous ands of us here in North Carolina can best do our war bit in the line of food production and food saving. Let us double our wheat acreage this year. First: It will pay us in dollars and cents. Second: It will help to save mil lions of starving people. Third: It is our line of service 'to our country; a"concrete and worth while expression of patriotism. I wonder if every minister in North Carolina who preaches weekly to land-owners will, for the next three or four Sabbaths, briefly urge his people to this duty? HENRY PAGE, Food administrator for North Caroli na. Raleigh, Sept. 1. (Weekly papers are asked to copy) Child Labor Law Attacked. Saratoga Spring, Sept. 4. The opinion that the most dangerous as sault upon the autonomy of tfie state, upon the integrity of local self government, that the entire history of our country records, was made by the Congress of the United States when it passed the recnt so-called "child labor law," was expressed here today by Senator Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia before the meeting of the American Bar Asso ciation in an address on "the regu lation of commerce between the state under the commerce clause of the constitution of the United States. SUMMER COMPLAINT. During the hot weather of the sum mer months come member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest im portance that this be treated prompt ly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., state, "I first used Chamberlain's Colic and -Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe at tack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose re lieved me. Other members of my family have since used it 'with like results. IMICOi DAY IN MONEY Banks Did Large Volume of Bus- iness and Saying Accounts Were Increased Largely; EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY TO BE SEEN EVERtpCSStE One Banker Said He Broke All Records and' Others Make Like Reports on Business. It seems pretty well established that Rowan is going to harvest a big crop this fall. The wheat crop was fine and to make an all 'round grain crop worth while it is but necessary to gather the corn crop now matur-i ing under most favorable conditions.. 'Tuesday was a red letter day with local bankers. The deposits were exceedingly heavy. Perhaps Tuesday was the best day that Salisbury banks ever had, all day the deposi tors were lined up at windows and were adding to an old account or were opening new accounts. OneJ banker said it was his best day, that the" day brought his bank to the high water mark in deposits, and another employe in a local bank said he handled money until he was sick of money. It is true that Monday being a legal holiday made" the Tuesday fol lowing a busy day by1 reason of the fact that two days' business was done, in one, but this aside, Tuesday was a big day for the reason that there was lots of money floating about that day, as there are on other days, but the extra pay roll with railroad people helped to swell the amount that went into the banks' keeping. It is fact that the banks are hand ling lots of money now: This is es pecially true of the savings depart ments, and these saving" accounts are increasing daily and growing in vol- ume. too. Late yesterday the news paper man stepped to the window of a local bank and askd for some change, the man at the window obligingly responded with the state ment that they had. lotsr of money of all sorts and descriptions and there was ample evidence that" he spoke the whole truth. When present prices are consider ed it is easily explained that there is more money in this section than ever before. ' Large and valuable crops, put money into the county and" large and regular pay rblls add ma terially to this vofcime daily. The banks are handling many accounts, the people are saving and there is every indication that the people will enjoy a new found prosperity the coming months. The Post put on between thirty and thirty-five new subscribers on Tuesday, following more than twen ty on Monday, evidencing the fact that the Evening Post is finding fa vor with the people of the community and also increasing its sales outside of the delivery zone of Salisbury and Spencer. A great many of the prosperous farmers read the Salisbury Evening Post. - The readers of the Herald are almost entirely Rowan county farm ers. There are no duplications.

I Such Huge Breaks on Opening Day That the Market Will Fail to Com plete the Sales at Three Big Ware houses. (By Associated Press.) Durham, Sept. 4. The opening of the Durham tobacco market witnessed such huge breaks today that the mar kets will fail to complete the sales before nightfall. J. S. Burch, secretary of the Dur ham Tobacco Board of Trade, esti mates that 180,000 pound will have been sold when the offerings at the three warehouses is hauled away to day. The sales began at 9:30 o'clock and the offerings of a single ware house onl had been disposed of at 1 o'clock. Prices ranged from 8 to 65 cents. Inferior grades excelled all former prices and probaly doubled the figures of 1916. Greenpits and sand dugs were commanding around 20 cents a pound. ANOTHER GREAT LOAN MADE Great Britain and France Each Get One Hundred Million Dollars More From The United States. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Sept. 5. A loan of $100,000,000 each to Great Britain and France was' made by the govern ment of the United States today, bringing the total advanced to the allies up to $2,266,400,000.

On arrival there they will be transferred at once to Camp Jackson where each man will be ex amined by an army physician and if passed he will immendiately don the khaki uniform of the army and be in the service of the United States. While not given out officially by j the local board the following special ffrom Washinton regarding the amount of wearing apparel to be car ried by the men beirigbent to the training camps will be of interest: Selected men of the first five per cent contingent, who will leave for mobilization camps, are directed in regulations issued to take a minimum of civilian clothing and personal be longings. Toliet articles, towels and handkerciefs are recommended, and no objection will be made to two changes of underclothing but other articles are frowned upon. Attention is called 'to the fact that civilian clothing will be descarded whent camp is reached, and to those not desiring to sfend such apparel back home it was suggested that clothing not worth keeping be worn. The men may carry only light hand baggage on the train, and as suit cases and handbags will not be al lowed for permanent use at camp, articles may be carried in bundles, if desired.

" Alluding to the Hague convention, M de Leval quoted Article 43, which; states that the; military authority -When occupying' an. enemy country will respect 'the laws . of that country and make no changes unless there is an 'ahsolute "necessity." "What is an 'absolute necessity?' " Mr -de Leval ' .continued.1; Unfortu nately, the HagU3 convention gives no deffinition, and the speeches of its members throw little light on the subject. . -: -" . "The Germans have given to 'ab solute necessity' a wonderful exten sion. If, a law is required by which a machine-can be taken out of Belgi um to be used by a German manufac turer for rib matter i what kind' of work useful' to the Gerfman Empire, it is soon "found an 'absolute neces sity' to empty a Belgian to replenish a German factory. If a German poli tician thinks that a certain rule im posed on Belgium will have some po litical importance in Germany in a quarter 'of a century, that rule will be established in Belgium by 'abso lute necessity.' If Belgium courts seem too: fair f to the Germans to be relied upon when a German interest is involved, it wil be an 'absolute ne cessity' to modify the rules, of those courts? and to bring before a special court "made in Germany," all ques tions in which such interest is con cerned. We must never forget, and the Brussels Bar repeated it time and again to the German commanders, we must never forget that generally speaking the writers of the I9t!?en tury have followed Montesquieu's and Rousseau's teachings which denied the lawfulness of the right of con quest. It "has been generally admit ted, and the Hague convention con firms' it, that conquest by itself is merely an act of might and gives no permanent right to the conqueror over the occupied territory, unless a peace treaty confirms it. But of course, when the legisimate ruler-of the coun try can' no 4onger enforce his own en actments in gs state and a foreign army occupies- if, circumstances arise where it is necessary to modif y or ev en to suppress the existing legislation and replace it by more adequate rule. The Hague conventibn says regarding this : "Article XLIU. The authority of legal power having passed de facto into the hands of the occupant, the latter shall take all steps in his pow er to reestablish and insure, as far as possible, public order and safety, while respecting?, unless absolutely prevented the laws in force in the country." "All this reads very well in books, but when tested by the facts in Bel gium, the Hagu convention at any rate in this matter proved almost valuless. It is very nice to say that the oceupant shall not modify the ex isting law of the occupied territory except in' case of absolute necessity! But, as I have already asked, what is absolute necessity? It may be a mor al or rather immoral it may be a legal or illegal, it may be aneconom ic necessity; it may be a political or a military-1 necessity. Who is to de cid, like an ordinary case of this most perplexing issue ? Should the case be decided, like an ordinary case, be tween the government tand th citi zns, by the courts of the country? Or should the military authority sub mit to no juBge'at all, and simply say 'it is quite enought if I say that there is such a necessity" - "Important Hague conventions!!" Mr de Leval exclanmed. "If the gen tleman who sat around the diplomatic tables at the Hague when drafting the rules by which the civilized na tions bound themselves to be govern ed in war, could hear all the sarcasm, all the blame that was laid by suf fering populations on them for what seemed to be so carelessly drafted rules, they would indeed be unhappy." During he early days of the war, Mr. Je: Leval declared, apparently there was no rule. "There was," he said, "just the fancy and most of ten a cruel fancy -of the German so-1 dier that ruled."
