ParshalL North Carolina Rep resentative Reports Inspiring Con ference at Washington The Situa tion Summed Up. Raleigh, May 30. Inspiration de rived from personal contact with Herbert hoover and his asssociates has stimulated bakers all over the United States in their zeal to carry out the necessary, if drastic, conser vation measures which are necessary to carry the nation safely thronugh the summer and into the next wheat crop, according to Mr. M. J. Paschall, of. Durham, who has just returned from n important conference at Washington, where he represented the bakers of the state of North Carolina. Mr. Hoover pointed out to the bak ers that even with the prospect of a bumper wheat crop in this country, it would be the policy oi wisdom to let down on conservation measures for many months to come. His plan, which was warmly applauded by the bakers, calls for a reserve of two or three hundred million bushels of wheat to guard against any possible recurrence of a shortage such as is now affecting the country. Mr. Whitmarsh stated that there is for the summer but 14i,000,000 bushels of wheat per month, whereas the nor man substitution of 25 per cent cer eals other than wheat in bread does not affect the necessary saving. At the conclusion of their meeting the bakers held a meeting at which they endorsed the proposition of the American Institute of Baking, which t is proposed to found with the oDen- ing of vhe Fourth Liberty Loan. The bakers will buy $1,000,000 worth of bonds of the next loan and dee-- them to 25 trustees who will have the man aement and control of the institute. The anstitue will comprehend the re search and testing laboratories, in struction in baking technology, sales manship and advertising, shop man agement, cost of acountdng and other branches of the baking industry. Representatives bakers of the coun try recognized that existing condi tions do not encourage young men to enter the baking industry. War pro blems have emphasized the need of technical and scientific information on the part of the baker. The proposed institute would provide for all this i W s S "TREAT 'EM ROUGH" GOVERNOR BiCKETT Tl 0 SPEAK IN NORWOOD THE SLACKER Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment toward the slacker is crystalizing and the fine finger of scorn and contempt is searching him out. There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some of them: The service slackerthe man who should be in the ranks and is not. The labor slacker the man who is able to work and doesn't. The food slacker the male or female hog who refuses to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported. The financial slacker the individual who can but does not buy Liberty bonds and "War Savings Stamps. Slacking at home means more blood spilled by true blue American boys in France. Slacking in America means starvation for innocent women and children in England, France and Italy. Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the American, British and French arms in France. THE SLACKER'S REWARD The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America will not forgive slacking. The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent citizens. After the war is over he will be an object of contempt. He will be without ths regard of decent people in his community. His children and his children's children after him will pay a bitter' price for his disloyalty For his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by humanity. Inexorable fate is setting him apart and he will not escape. Every Bushel Saved Now Will Supply a Soldier with Bread Until Next Harvest. BRIEF HEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST 10 SALISBURY JOHNSON WANTS A COMMISSION The emperor of Germany has been married only once to Princess Au gusta Victoria of Sehleswig-Holstein, who is still living.. W S S The Kaiser, acording to the latest Berlin reports, has been having a fine time recently picking violets. It may work aH right in Germany, but if he tried here in America, 'even a self respecting violet would .reach up and bite him Springfield Republican. The Huns ought to get a man who made ugly talk about the Red Cross. The beasts of Berlin are fitting com panions to an American wfoo would villify this great organization. W S S Electric range-finding appratus has been invented for the United States navy that usese michophones to tell the distance between ships or the height of aeroplanes by the count of their propellers. Mr. C. F. Swicegood, of near Wood leaf, is very seriously ill. His family have all been calkvl to the home. A number of colored people came in today on the Yadkin train and others from the rural districts to attend the "Otn celebration, not having learned that the festivities had been called off on account of the day being one of national fasting and prayer. Hon. Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte, will address the meeting under the ouspices of the Community Y. M. C. A.; at the Community Building Sun day afternoon at o o'clock. His sub ject will be: "A Good Fitjht." W S S Intorlence Friday. D. W. Griffith's latest colossal spec tacle, "Intolerance," said to be the most, magnificent spectacle of all time, will commence it local engagement of one day only at the Colonial Theatre, Friday, May 31st. This new art creation, which comes here following its half year of pop ulraity at the Liberty Theatre, New York, supplemented by long runs in Philadelphia Pittsburg, Chicago, San Francjsco and Los Angeles, is a tre mendous representation of big his toric events in three distinct periods of the word's history, placed in apposii tion with the story of life among the people in America today, and with an embellishment of orchesttrail music and of illustrative song hightened by theatrical effetcs and in surroundings to suggest a flight in fancy to other times and other places. The purpose of this spectacle is to show how love's struggle throughout the agens, which Mr. Griffith does by means of four parallel stories. An cient Babylon, Jueda at the time of Christ, Medieval Paris and a-modern American city are the scens of these stories. Such wonderful settings, it is said, were provided for the showing of scenes in and about the ancient city of Babylon are so massive and so com plete in accurate detail as to stagger the imagination. Themendous bat tles are fought battles such as even today could not be eaqualled in fierce ness of personal conflict; 75,000 horses and 15,000 ehariots were used for the thrilling seige of Babylon.

Those who are not for America are against her enemies all. Those who are Idle, selfish or even indifferent are Aliens alien to American interest. Only the workers, "comrades in this great enterprise," bear the honored name Americans. "IT IS THE WAR." In France fifty per cent of the total energy of the people is said to go into military effort. Hard ships, hunger, sorrow all suffer ing is excused with the explana tion, 'it Is the war." This is the kind of spirit needed in every; American home. THE CONQUERING SPIRIT.
