Old but true. ' pftncer man aeriously injured his Labile cutting wobd. Moral: Don't wood, VC' -! SAVE EGGS. .'The Food Administration, with an ey$ always open for possible means to save foodstuffs, has issued a state ment requesting the people not to wantonly waste eggs during the com ing Easter season, as has been cus tomary in the past. The statement says: "Eggs as Easter presents or toys ought not to be used this year,, and egg rolling is especially to be discour aged. It is estimated that 40,000 doz en eggs are wasted ill this city along each Eastertide. "The Germans are making every ef fort to waste our food supplies by sinking ships with their submarines, and those of us who waste food are heroins the Germans in their ef forts." The figures given as to the useless! waste of 40,000 dozen eggs each East er in Washington City alone should cause everyone a moment of serious reflection. If this proportion of ggs so wasted is maintained throughout the country, the aggregate is enor mous, and should be curtailed. The long standing custom of having the children of Washington gather on the White House lawn on Easter Mon day and roll eggs is to be abandoned this year in compliance with the Food Administration's request, and this lead will doubtless be followed up all over the United States. This will not only save thousands of dozens of eggs, but will tend to lower the prices, thereby releasing more money ot be used in purchasing other foods.

Enemy aliens wil be prevented from voting at elections for President, Vice President, or Senators or members of the House of Representatives here after by the provisions of a bill in troduced in the . House by Con gressman H. D. Flood, of Virginia, chairman of the House Foreign Rela tions Committee. This bill will prevent groups of Ger mans and Austrians from controlling the election of Congressmen or Sen ators this fall in districts where the party division is very close. It will do away to a great extent with the influence which the Nation al German-American Alliance and kin dred organizations have exerted for several years. Investigations now be ing conducted by the Senate and. the Department of Justice have shown that one of the principal purposes of the German-American Alliance was. to influence Its members to vote accord ing to dictation of its leaders in elec tions for Congress and for the Presi dency. There are numerous similar organizations which have foreigners in. their membership. 1. .Foreigners by the tens of thousands are now permitted to vote at our na tional elections. The constitutions of ten States, Alabama, Missouri, Arkan sas, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Ne braska. Oregon. South Dakota and Texas, permit persons of foreign birth who have declared their intention to become citizens to vote in elections before they have" been naturalized. In several States in addition to these ten, foreigners are allowed to vote Tor State, county and local of ficers and on local issues. "Under the Constitution of ten of our States alien enemies can partic pate in the Congressional elections his fall," said Congressman . Flood in speaking of his bill.- "These States have constitutions which permit poi- sons of foreign birth, who have declar ed their intentions to become citizens of the Unified States according to law, o vote before they have become nat uralized. - . By thel0ffbvisions foreigners by he tens of thousands who have mere- y taken .the first step toward natur alization are accorded the right to vote for members of Congress, and jnany of these aliens are subjects of bur enemies. It will result In a num ber of congressional districts that people who are the subjects of our enemies and are not American citi zens will be able to control the elec tions in those districts, unless this bill or a similar measure is passed. Congress will have, to take gome ac- Ion to remedy this situation." The Flood bill reads as, follows: That no person, not a citizen of the United States, shall be permitted to vote at any election to be held for President and Vice President, or Sen ators of the United States or room- bers of the House of Representatives, who is a subject of a State or nation with whieh the United States is at war." On its face, the bill has a meritor ious appearance and should be pass- . Voters whose Interests are an- wi5puiguq to the country's should nave no say in its political affairs. -Selfish interests and petty jealous- i8 never did build up a city. --A city mmum is one thinKandj8 THE AFTERNOON PAPER. One of the greatest comforts, and, under present conditions, one of the greatest necessities of today, is the afternoon newspaper. It is essential ly the home paper. The business man, who leaves- home in the morning and hurries to his office, plunges at oncet into work, the Memphis News-Seim- tar well says, His mail may be al ready opened and lying on his desk, Along about noon he iay get out for a few minutes for lunch, but he meets but few people and has no time to talk to them. He is entirely obliv ious to what is going on around him. When he returns home in the evening, takes his dinner and puts on his dress ing gown and slippers, he feels com fortable, and proceeds to satisfy his Curiosity. He takes up the afternoon paper and goes through 'it carefully, Things of importance may have hap? pened next door to his business that be knows nothing of, but alert and industrious newsgatberers have been busy all over the city, and they have gathered and assembled the news of the day, and served it up to him in a concise and intelligent manner. Net only his own city, but the world at large has been ransacked, and every-1 thing of considerable importance hasj been sent in by telegraph and by ca ble, and placed before him in an at tractive manner. He has plenty of time, and he is in no hurry to get through, because he does not have to rush to his office. He reads leisurely, and every now and then he may have occasion to refer to his books to" elu cidate or verify some statements con tained in the news columns. Read ing the afternoon paper in this man ner is an extra , pleasure. When all the news matter and the editorials have been gone over thoroughly then he looks over the advertising pages. The classified columns of the news paper furnish interesting reading They are filled with item sof human interest, and sometimes a three-line notice will set the imagination to work, sending it on pleasant excur sions. The wife, who is the purchas ing agent of the home, usually defers reading until her day's work is over, and the affairs of her household at tended to. Then she sits down and goes over, the advertisements careful ly. They convey to her the news she wants most. She sees the things she wants, and where to get them, and makes all arrangements necessary to go into the city the next morning and make her purchases. She knows the best bargains that are offering, and she has had all night to think over b ?r needs and her expenditures. In this way time and thought can bQ given to the spending or investment of money, so that the best results are obtained. She also ' keeps abreast of the news of the day, while it is fresh, having been recorded as it was made, and distributed to the newspapers of the country. She knows what is poing on abroad and what her neighbors are doingT and this information is not only pleasing, Jut' valuable, and we Tn.fht say indispensable: Anyone who be comes accuEfcmed to reading the ai': ernoon paper cannot get along with out it. It becomes a part of the home and part of the routine with food am' rest. The afternoon newspaper saoras to get closer to the people, because it is essentially a home institution and a part of the life of families. for the work, which will be of untold benefit to the entire State. TJhe splen did rail nd water routes extending in land from Wilmington insures ine cesa of the port and the importance of the matter of both; North and Soutft Carolina cannot be over estimated. Greenville New; Thei United States government has found that an excel lent flour can be made from 25 per cent, cotton seed meal mixed with 75 per cent, wheat flour, the mixture hav ing greater life-sustaining qualities than wheat flour alone. As the cot ton seed meal is made by grinding the seeds to the required degree of fine ness after most of the oil has been ex tracted, the new substitute is another use of a by-product. But even after all the oil possible by present process es has been extracted from the cot ton seed meal made from it is much too rich in protein and fat to be used alone To save a quarter of every bushel of wheat bo used is an aim of value at the present time. It's all right to say "1 did it", if you did. A rule or ruin policy won't get one anywhere. There is a bare suspicion that there has been some double-crossing in the alleged efforts to secure recognition of the Wilmington port. fr' STATE NEWS Miss Belle Kornegay, a senior at the State Normal college and one of the most popular of the 700 students at tending the institution, died yester day at a local hospital, after a week's illness of appendicitis. Miss Kornegay was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Kornegay, of Ken ansville, North Carolina, was twenty years old and would have graduated this spring. This was her fifth year at the college, where she was recog nized as a good student and a fine girl. She is survived by her parents, two brothers and one sister. Her brothers live at Lumberton and were with her at the time of her death. Her sister, Mrs. Chasen, of Bainbridge, Georgia, was also at her bedside, hav ing come in response to a message advising of her illness. v The three ac companied the remains home, the par ty leaving on the midnight train. Greensboro Record. There were pies to the right of them, there were pies to the left of them thus runs the tale of the wreck of the baker's cart. Walter Ingle was struck but not seriously injured . by a delivery car of the Purity Bakery Company. The machine was being driven by T. S. Ledford on Patton avenue, and when he tried to avoid hitting a cow and a calf belonging to W. P. Hipp, he swerved toward the curb and struck Ingle and then went headlong into a telephone pole, splin tering the windshield and tearing the side and top of the car open. Pies and cakes were strewn about the pave ment to the intense glee of several little negro boys. It is estimated that the damage will amount to about $100. The driver was ordered to appear at court tomorrow, pending an Investi gation of injuries received by Mr. In gle. Asheville Times. IN THE NEWS ' Maxim Gorky, Rusisa's famous real istic novelist and revolutionary prop agandist, celebrates his fiftieth birth day anniversary today. Gorky's real name is Alicksel Maximovitch Piesh kov. He was born at Nijni Novgorod, of humble parents and as a boy was a peddler, scullery assistant and ap prentice. His entire career has been a stormy one. Under the old regime in Russia he was imprisoned several times and finally exiled on account of his alleged seditious utterances He visited the United States in 1906 With the overthrow of the imperial government in Russia, Gorky returned to his native land and has recently supported the Bolsheviki. During the street fighting in Petrograd last Jan uary he was reported wounded by a stray shot. ' WITH THE EDITORS ' Rocky Mount Telegram: And now New Bern comes along with another rumor" of a boat line for northern points is to be established by North ern capitalists who, it is said, have already visited this section and who plan a line touching Eastern Carolina river points and with its northern ter minal at Baltimore. Of course we are one ot the well wishers for the 'prop osition, but to date we haven't heard of any mad scramble upon the part of owners of schooners in that section to get rid of their holdings for fear they were going to fine them out and to date there has been rather much talk and rather less action. A boat line between New Bern and Balti more could be secured, maintained and made profitable and it appears to us that when merchants and business men in the towns and cities touched are satisfied of the fact and put their money into the proposition then and not until then, can we expect a boat line that will be other than like the Sittings of the buterfly, here, there, and everywhere.
