ROAtf BULLETINS FOR
CALIFORNIA MOTORISTS.
Washington, March 29. Beginning
early in April the San Francisco of
fice of the Forest Service will issue
weekly reports ou the condition of
,the principal automobile roads in
the National Forests of California.
This . information will be .-. obtained
.from the forest rangers and will be
furnished to newspapers, press asso
ciations, automobile clubs, hotels,"
and other interested organizations, by
which it will be made available to
motorists.
The twenty National Forests in
California comprise more' than 19,
500,000 acres of land and contain ap
proximately 8,600 miles of road. There
are in addition 9,500 miles of trail
which make accessible the more re
mote regions. Many of these roads
penetrate large stretches of wild
mountain country where thousands
of people go each summer to escape
the heat of the lower valleys.
The present roads are to be supple
mented by others, made possible by
the Federal Aid Road Act, one section
of which provides a million dollars
a year for ien years for pie construc
tion of roads in or near the National
Forest in all the States. Of this fund
n tntnl nf $281,751 has been appor
tioned to California for the fiscal
vears 191-iyi8. lO yrqvme uii aue-
quate road system tor tne jaiiiorma
National Forests the District Forester
at San Francisco has tentatively esti
mated that the construction or repair
of 837 miles of road would be 're
quired. Of this amount 663 miles
would be in the National Forests and
the remainder in the nearby locali
ities. The roads are intended pri
marily for the purpose' of developing
the resources of the National Forests
hut would also open up new areas
to tourist travel.

Attorneys in Big Salvage Suit
Appearing in United States
Court Today.
Judge H. Gw Connor, of . the United
States District Court, is today hearing
the arguments of the attorneys in the
case of the Fisheries Products Com
pany against the Italian steamer
Edillio, in which the libellants are en
deavoring to collect $100,000 salvage
from' the owners of the steamer. Judge
Connor arrived in the city early this
morning over the Seaboard from
Laurinburg, where he held an unusual
ly short session of court.
At the adjourned Fall session of
jjeaerai vjourt, nem nere a lew weeKs
ago, many days were consumed m tak-j
ing the evidence in the admiralty case
This has been transcribed by the court
stenographer and is in book form.
There are between 800 and 900 letter
size pages of the evidence.
Judge Connor will hear the argu
ments of the attorneys , here anof
then peruse the large volume of evi
dence and then render his decision in
the case. Hon. George Rountree and
Thomas W. Davis, Esq., are appearing
for the Fisheries Products Company
and Robert Ruark, Esq., and E. K.
Bryan, Esq., are representing the own
ers of the steamer Edillio.
The Italian steamer Edillio, heavily
laden with steel went aground on Cape
Fear bar last summer and at various
times she was pulled on by the fleet of
fishing steamers chartered by the Fish

UN WAK IIMLO.
Washington, D. C, March 29.: Steps
to prevent the fomenting of strikes
and the inciting of laboring men to
riot, in case of war, are to be outlin
ed by the executive council of the Na
tional Civic Federation at a meeting
opened here today in conjunction with
the Advisory Committee of the Na
tional Council for Defense.
In announcing its plans the Federa
tion asserts that the action is taken
because of the great need of some such
movement in view of the publicly an
nounced intention of - certain radical
organizations to promote strikes and
riots in every - manufacturing locality
in which they can gain a hearing.
Action is also planned because of the
experience in England, where it was
found that after the South Wales min
ers' strike involving 2,000,000 work
men, the only means of settling and
preventing strikes was through such
voluntary efforts, the Munitions Com
pulsory Act :havlng prbved entirely
futile.
The first step will be the offering
by mediation department of the Fed
eration of a plan whereby reconcilia
tion committees, composed jointly of
employers, labor' leaders and repre
sentatives of the public; are to be
formed, in every industrial center.
The welfare department of the Fed
eration will offer a plan designed to
assist in conserving the health of the
wage earners and to relieve the strain ' After twelve years of service in the

Local Assddiatiori Made a Rec
ord Run In The Member
ship Contest.. .
i i
Never in the history of the Young
Men's Christian Association has a
membership contest been . waged as
heartily and as enthusiastically as is
the present one being conducted. Nev
er before in the career of the local As
sociation,, has it ever been able to
perch alone at the top, as it did yes
terday and up to I. o'clock today.
Whether another story will be told by
6 o'clock this afternoon is the ques
tion, out the contest teams have gone
iirl f'nr vintrv an ifon'ri tn land wn
mington.'at the top or near that point
wnen the climax comes. up to 1
o'clock this afternoon the Young Men's
Christian Association had scored al
most oine thousand points and the
teams were still going, ahead.. Short
ly after, one this afternoon the - teams
met at dinner, to listen to some fine
talks and make reports, dinner being
served by the young ladies of St. An
drew's Presbyterian church, who were
given a hearty vote of thanks by the
assemblage.
The luncheon hour today was featur
ed by a splendid and inspiring talk by
George B. Elliott, Esq., general counsel
for the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr. El
liott is decidedly popular among the
young men and he was given a big
reception. He left a fine message, as
an inspiration for the young man to
be of real service and to enthuse him
for the contest, which means so much
to the community, he said, by building
up the Association.
Mr. Otis B. Hinnant told of his re
cent trip to Kinston, where tlie great
worth of the Y. M. C. A. has dawned
and where such an Association is go- j
ing to be organized. He spoke of the,
progressiveness of Kinston as an ex
ample for progressivness in the
present membership contest.
Captain DuVall, one of the special
aides to the membership committee in
the contest and a veteran at the game,
explained "what it takes" to get mem
bers. His talk was a most interesting
one.
The pennant for the day was won
by the Navy of the Boys' Division, lead
by Mr. Davis Howes, Jr., and which
' corps is allied with the city teams in i
the contest. Mr. Howes workers scor-,
ed 170 points and captured the pen
nant from Captain Myers' team, which
yesterday won it.
The grand total of points up to 1
o'clock this afternoon was 921 points.
Today's score, with the captains, fol
lows: City Howesi Army, 170 ; Sullivan,
li2 1-2; Pickard, 113; Myers, 86 1-2.
Total, 532.
Coast Line Bryan's Army, 33; Wil
lis, 25; Wilder, 22. Total, 80.
Again at 1:15 o'clock tomorrow after
noon the workers will meet for lunch
and to. make reports.

Seven young ladies have registered

course is to be conducted under the

benefit of the local Red Cross- Chapter
The registration of ten young women
is required before the class can be
organized, and those interested are
very anxious to get the remaining
three as quickly as possible in order
that class work can be started. A
class is limited to twenty, ten being ab
solutely necessary. A second class
may be formed' also, it was announced
this morning. The membership fee is
a half dollar.
Mr. C. H. Noblin, Forest, Miss., states that he is using Buckeye
Hulls exclusively. He experimented in the beginning by usicj pld

worthless lint to clog the digestive tract and make the assimilation
of food difficult. They mix uniformly and thoroughly with other
feed- They are free of trash and are unusually clean. Test Buck

And remember,' they cost you veky much less per ton than bid style
hulls.
To secure the, best resuUft nd to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours 6ef ore feeding. It i easy to" do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be -done, et down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed, the hulls dry, use only half, as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

Strickland's Fast Volley Ball
Team Clinched The Volley
ball Championship.
What was probably the most spir
ited volleyball season in the history
of the Y. M. C. A. was brought to a
close last night, andthe climax was
furious and exciting, as upon the out
come depended whether it would be
necessary to present a post-series to
determine the championship. How
ever, by taking one. out of the series
played with DuVall's team, the win
ners of the first half of the season,
the Strickland team, also clinched the
second half,! and was awarded the
championship. .
Strickland's team at the beginning
of last night's play was three games
ahead of its opponent, and it took a
triple victory to make a tie, but after
DuVall's bunch started strong, cap
turing the first game, the Strickland-
ers came back with force and obtain
ed the second game, and made the
championship secure. Both of these
games were hotly contested and de
cidedly exciting. StrickVmd's 1916-17
volleyball champs were Mitchell, Sny
der, Wilder, Shepard, Cowan and
Strickland. i
in the other series played last night
Fisher's team whipped Thees' team,
thus consigning the latter to cellar
position.

LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why a Corn is So Painful and
Says Cutting' Makes
Them Grow. i
Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corn3,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask wor a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from one's feet. A few drops ap
plied directly upon a tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain.
This drug is harmlessand never in
flames or even irritates the surround
ing tissue or skin. Advt.
THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW I
is having to bear his share of the
blame for the high cost of living. . As
proof, it is pointed out that "although
I populaation increased twenty-one per
C
the last decade, acreage de
voted to the ' cereals Increased less
than two per cent.; but prices advanc
ed seventy per cent."
How much, land have you on your
farm on which you could have raised
wheat or corn or rye or oats last sum
mer and didn't? Maybe only an acre
or so, which you let lie idle but which
could haye raised 60 bushels pf cor,
or 25 bushels of rye. It is the acre
age over the amount necessary to pay y
expenses of the farm that is the profit
of the farm. If you let one acre go
unfilled last year that you might have
farmed, you can S?ut down in your
"lost" items at least $25 that you might
have right now in this Bank in your
checking account. We don't mean that
you got $25 from every acre you did
farm .maybe you got $100 and maybe
you only got $10 that all depends on
how you handled the soil and the
crops, and what the weather did for
you. "
-What a farmer makes off his farm
i
l is pretty nearly shown in his check
bopk and deposit book together,, for
not many practical farmers stick tp
the old and dangerous way of paying
wages or expenses with cash, or
; keeping money in the house.
