!. B.B. FLOI GOES 10 FRANCE LEAVES STATES SERVICES BE CAUSE OF DIFFERENCES WITH DR. KILGORE. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Dolngi and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Dr. B. B. Flo we, state veterinarian, who has resigned to go to France a3 a lieutenant in the United States ser vice, has received his orders to sail for the French front and within two weeks he will be on the seas Doctor Flowe's resignation grew out of differences with the state chemist, Dr. B. W. Kilgore, though the department, which has not yet announced his resignation, ha3 of course given out no statement of any character respecting the retirement of the veterinarian from the service. The disagreements are of long stand ing and Doctor Flowe ended it last week by handing in his resignation without any strings. He has declined to reconsider The orders from the government do not Indicate what ship Doctor Flowe is to take. Mrs. Flowe will also go to France and remain there while the doctor serves the national depart ment as veterinanrian. The Cabarrus county man who has made such a splendid record in the state service 'has been anxious many months to go to this division of the great war Had the United States not entered the war it was Doctor Flowe's purpose to vol unteer in the English army. The service which he enters has all the excitements and hazards of real battle. The veterinarians do not play far behind the lines and they have all sorts of demands on their nerve. The retiring veterinarian goes there with a great deal of enthusiasm. State Office Is No Service Bar. The mere fact that a man of eligible age for selective service is a state of ficer or employee should furnish no suf ficient claim for exemption according to a resolution adopted as the sense of a meeting of the council of State, the Governor and heads of various state departments. This resolution, of course, is not deemed to be applicable to those employees or officers who have other claims of exemption. The resolution as adopted reads : It Is the sense of this meeting that no State officer or employee in any executive department of the state gov ernment should claim any exemption from military service under the selec tive draft law by reason of the fact that he is a state officer or employee. This resolution is not intended to ap ply to claims for exemption by such officers or employees who may have valid grounds for exemption other than the fact that they are in the ser vice of the state, but is simply Intend ed to place officers or employees in the executive department of the State Government on the same footing as citlzenB engaged in private business." Field Artillery Has 1,129 Men. The total strength of the First Field Artillery is 1,129 according to reports received by Supply Officer, Captain A. L. Fletcher, who will shortly begin the distribution of equipment, part of which has been received by the prop erty and disbursing officer here. The strength of the various batteries follows: Battery A, New Bern, 175; Battery B, Washington, 152 Battery C, Durham, 162; Battery D, 167. Wades boro; Battery E, Lenoir, 1658; Battery F, Mooresville, 173; Headquarters Company, Raleigh, 112; Supply Com pany, Raleigh, 35. More Appointments Made. Adjutant General Royster announ ces that federal recognition is entend ed to the first regiment North Carolina field artillery as of July 27. The en listments have proceeded quite satis factorily and the field artillery gives promise of early enlistment to war strength. The department of the adjutant general announces a number off polntments aB follows: Capt. T)f Hntf niHiitntit nt the third commissioned major, first T third infantry, vice J. J. Berr qualified on account of phy dition; Capt. W. A. Graham H, third Tegiment, second third Infantry, vice Cham moted; E. C.

Planning Many Winter Gardens, Reports from all sections of North Carolina indicate that already the cam paign of the agricultural and food con servation forces for winter gardens is having Its effect. If. is a well known fact that North Cpollna people havfc been prone to regard a garden almost altogether as a summer luxury. With millions of dollars saved through the planting and utilization of more find larger gardens than have ever hereto fore been planted, however, ths peo ple of the state have been in a re ceptive mood for information regard ling fall and winter gardens. Among the vegetaables that may be planted during the month of August are snap beans, betts, carrots, col lards, kale, rape, radishes, spinach, turnips, mustard, Irish potatoes and others according to Mr. C. R. Hudson, State Agent for Farm Demonstration Work. The planting of strawberry patches may also be started during August. These crops will supply the table dur ing the early fall months and many of them through the winter. Indications also are that a large acreage of fall or second crop Irish potatoes will be planted, especially in eastern North Carolina. The second crop of potatoes, unlike the early spring crop, is easily kept during the winter. Potatoes bid fair to continue to sell at a high figure, and all food authorities are urging that every fam ily insofar as possible plant a suf ficient area to supply its own needs with a surplus to help supply the de mands in their localities. Planning Big State Fair. Secretary Joseph E. Pogue, of the state fair, is delighted with the move ment that directors launched for mak ing the fair this year a conservation affair that will be in line with the general movement for conserving the resources of the state and stirring the people in the matter of home eco nomics and general agricultural prog ress. This will be the fifty-seventh state fair, and it will be held October 15-20. The woman's building will be com pleted in ample time at a cost of $12,000 and will be quite an addition which will swing fully In line with the war conditions and needs. It was decided to . give the grandstand re ceipts of the fair on Thursday of fair week to the Red Cross. This was on motion of Col. J. C. L. Harris. The resolutions adopted by the executive committee declare that the fair must be made to bear its part in effective ly co-ordinating features of the fair so that it will play an important part In the nation's vital scheme of food production and conservation. A tele gram was sent to the President that the management of the fair is with hfm in heart, soul, bone and muscle, until the war is over. Co-operation was pledged to the state government in efforts to increase food production and growing food for those who fight in the great war. Change In Draft Quota Made. Governor Bickett sent out to the exemption board in each of the coun ties of the state a special letter notify ing them that the provost marshal has found an error in his figures giving the gross quota of North Carolina in the selective draft and advising the boards that there will be revised fig ures as to the net quotas for each of the counties. The new figures will make changes of only a few in practi cally all the counties of the state. J. J. Mackey, the special clerk in charge of this phase of the work of the ad jutant general's department, will have the revised figures ready forthwith and they will be made public as soon as compiled. There will be no material changes in the figures per county except in a very few instances: Bladen will change from 111 to 158; Iredell from 135 to 144; Pasquotank from 110 to 121; Pitt from 336 to 359; Mecklen burg and Charlotte will not be chang- j ed ; Buncombe county will have three less in net quota to raise; Forsyth two less; Winston-Salem, no change; Durham, two less; other counties mi nor changes. Some New Enterprises. The Greensboro Y. W. C. A. under the name of "The Young Women's Christian Association of Greensboro, Incorporated," is a corporation with out capital. Its objects are to "Asso ciate young women in personal loy alty to Christ as Savior and Lord," off Ttt inrnrnnratorn r Adeline Cle'veiand Blair, Mabel Tuck Millikan, Tomlinson Petty, Jeanna Bar- Wd Wright and Grace West Mc- mroch.

Practically all of the farm-life schools of the state have secured their teachers of Agriculture and Homo Economics for the coming session, re ports Mr. T. E. Browne, Professor of i Vocational Education at the State College of Agriculture. Vanceboro and Red Oak are leading in the matter of . numbers employed, as they both have ii. ,Ul Biiiiuumiiijuiwiipi lip ii , "I Sensibly Equipped There are trouserettes and trouser ettes, and here Is the latest arrival among them. In the shops pretty salesgirls1 go about their work in the wash dress section, arrayed In "service suits." These are of khaki or galatea cloth designed with an eye to style, as well as convenience. Admiring eyes follow them and there Is no doubting the fact that feminine taste has turned trouserward, in clothes that are intended for outdoor and in door work and for outings, mountain climbing, camping and fishing. The particular uniform shown in the picture Is for wear at housework or in the garden. It is made in galatea cloth nnd in lighter weight cottons, like percales, madras and plain ging ham. It Is designed on the simplest lines Suits for Beach To swim or not to swim, that is the question to be settled by the sum mer girl when she contemplates buy ing something for wear at the beach. If she can content herself with the sands and splashing about close to shore, she may decide on a suit that is pretty to look at but not entirely practical for swimming. Beach clothes and things for water sports are so varied this year that beromlngness is a thing to Insist upon. - One of the prettiest of the 1917 models in beach suits Is pictured here. It is made of black taffeta silk, with full ruffled skirt and loose blouse. It has the odd, Chinese collar which holds Its place In sunjmer styles after having outlasted the winter and ex erted an influence on Incoming styles. The short, puffed slf-eves are finished with two narrow ruffles, All ruffles are piped with gold-colored silk. The soft cap, with frill about the face, Is also made of black taffeta with yellow piping. It has a sprightly bow of silk at the front which must be barf falfifrE M for Housework. possible, but with many attentions to little details In the finishing that make it really pretty. The sailor blouse sets as It should, the waist Is well man aged and the trousers fit as well as a skirt about the hips. They turn up at the bottom nnd button about the ankles. There Is a pocket in the blouse and two of them In the trousers, whh convenience commends this suit to ule girl of today. The sleeves are long, with a band at the wrist. The chances are that they button and can be turned back and out of the way when this is required. If they don't they ought to. There Is no use remaining behind the times when styles so sensible and good looking Invite housewives to make things as convenient as possible for themselves. and Water Sports. supported by wires or else kept clear of the water. Many of the new caps are made of rubberized cloth and they ore as fanciful as the silk caps. Very practical cloth bathing slippers In black and gold-colored silk stockings are worn with this dress. The girl In the jersey suit bought It to swim In. It has close-fitting trouserettes and a scant skirt nnd waist in one, all very cleverly shaped and finished. Bands of white jersey finish all the edges. A row of flat buttons on each shoulder may serve to fasten the coat, but the chances are that they are merely a pretense. This kind of coat will slip on over the heud. There Is a small, rubber-lined packet in the trouser-leg, made for carrying a powder puff, mirror and handker chief. These things must be so well Incased In rubber that water can't get at them. The sandals are of black cloth dotted with white. SHORT COURSE AUGUST 21-24 Expected That 500 Boys and Girls Will Attend Short Course at A. & E. College. Raleigh. The boys' and girls short course, which will be held at A. ft E. College, August 21-24 inclusive, will be a very sizable school this year ac cording to Indications. The enroll ment already has surpassed the at endance of last year, which was 355 and it Is anticipated that 150 to 200 more pupils will be enrolled before the school opens, giving a total at tendance of more than 500. Not only will the attendance be far greater this year than ever before, but the course Itself will be "a moro sub stantial and valuable one. The corps of teachers consists of the faculty of A. & E. College, together with the experts of the North Carolina Experi ment Station and Agricultural Exten sion Service. Among those who will have part on the program are such well known eductators, agriculturists and public men as Dr. B. W. Kilgore, Director of the Experiment Station and Agricultural Extension Service: Dr. Clarence Poe, Editor of The Pro gressive Farmer; President W. C. Rid dlck. of A. & E. College; Dr. W. S. Rankin, Secretary of the State Board of Health; Col. Jas. R. Young, Com mission of Insurance and Banking; Dan T. Gray, Chief of the Division of Animal Husbandry; Prof. T. E. Browne; E. B. Crow and others. As in the State Farmers Conven tion which it precedes, the idea of food production and conservation will be the central topic for the short course. The working program will consist principally of lectures and demonstra tions, although much instruction will also be received through moving pic tures, trips to interesting places at the State Capital and other features, while base ball, swimming and motion pic tures will be the chief recreation features. The boys' and girls' short course was first offered, particularly for the members of the Corn, Pig and Tomato Clubs, but it Is open for all young peo ple in the state who desire to avail themselves of the splendid opportuni ties it offers for first hand instruction and demonstrations by the best agri cultural teachers in the South. The expenses are normal. The railroads are offering low rates for round trip, and the College provides dormatory space free of charge. Meals are served at 25c. each, this be ing practically the only absolutely necessary expense of the course. The boys and girls are required to pro vide their own bed linen, pillows and toilet articles. y Catawba Plans Big Fair Hickory. Premium lists for the Ca tawba county fair, which will be held here September 25-28, are now being mailed out and plans for the occasion are taking definite shape. The fair this year bids to be the best ever held here, and certainly with the promise of good crops will outstrip that of last year. Hickory was one of the pioneers in the western part of the state in com munity fairs, and its street fairs were famous, not only in this state but all over the south. But It finally outgrew the street fair stage and organized a regular fair association. The mange ment owns twenty acres of ground just outside the city, all fenced in and equipped with substantial buildings and race track. The first fair In these new quarters was held last fall and its success was gratifying. This in spite of the floods that played havoc with the field and garden crops in this community. Improving Buncombe Highway. Ashevllle. Buncombe county Is now building concrete highways from Ashe vllle to the Henderson county line, ten miles south of Ashevllle. which is part of a million dollar road building pro gram. Highways from south reported to Ashevllle Motor club In fair con dition by automobile parties from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Southern highways reach Ashevllle by Greenville, 8. C, and Hendersonvllle, .or Spartanburg, S- C, and Henderson vllle. Several other good highways are open to Asheville. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS. Something more than $6,000 in fines and costs have been pain into the office of Clerk of U. S. Court Leo D. Heartt in settlement of the cases against the Raleigh liquor dealers in which pleas of guilty were submitted In the Federal Court. A number of architects submitted plans before the council of state for the erection of the new state ware house, soon to be built with appro priation made by the last legisla ture. Greensboro Is to have within the next sixty days a $100,000 knitting mill, with a capacity of six hundred dozen men's half hose daily. The factory will be established by the J. E. Latham Company. The machinery for the factory has already been pur chased and a large portion of it Is now In transit. Mr.' L. I. Case, beef cattle field agent of the North Carolina Agricul tural Extension Service, has just re turned from a Bristol (Va.) pure br?d cattle sale, bringing back with him $2, 1)0 worth of pure bred cattle for North Carolina farmers. the KITC HEN BBS CABINET L Be true to the best that ia In your soul, And follow your high ideal.

Cover the jar and keep In a cool place. They must be soaked before using. Small berries like currants, black berries, blue berries and raspberries may all be satisfactorily dried by plac ing them on trays In the sun or drying them around the stove, or using both methods. The fruit should be dry enough to leave no stain when pinched between the fingers. Store In waxod bags or tight receptacles and keep In a dry, cool place.
