Governor Blckett would have the Exemption Board to hold office sa tred and high above personal or par tisan consideration. His letter goes to the different boards. The Gover nor wants the men who will do the work to be guided by a sense of pa triotism. There has been fear on the part of some that the boards would be influenced and it has been suggested that the Local Boards of Exemption was the weakest part of the conscription law. His letter reads as follows: "Several letters have come to this office from different parts of the State, indicating a fear on the part of a few people that local boards may not in all cases act with absolute im partiality in passing upon claims Tor exemption aud in prescribing the or der in which persons not exempt shall be called to service. "It is not necessary for me to say that 1 do not personally share this feat. Your recommendation by mo to the President of the United States for this patriotic service car ried with it my abiding faith that you would do your duty without fear and without favor. "1 deem it proper, however, to call your, attention to the apprehen sion, reflected in these letters and to beg you to hold your sacred office so high above personal or partisan con sideration that when the work is done your enemies will be forced to concede that in every case you acted with the fear of God and the love of your country before your eyes. Above all things, let me beseech you not to allow political influences to touch the hem of your garment. It would be a tragic and nauseating prostitution of a wise and Just law if politics should be considered when the lives of men and the very destiny of the race are in the balances. "It is proper to say that the let ters mentioned have come from less :.i:in five per cent, of the counties in the State, but the fact that the fear has been expressed at all makes It my duty, to advise all members of lo cal boards to the end that their work may be done on a plane of patriotism so high that no breath of suspicion car. reach it." PLANS FOB SOLDIERS' All). To Form Organization in Every County in North Carolina to Pro tect Soldiers' Intercuts. Raleigh, July 7. Plans for the organization in each county of the state of a soldiers" aid served to man age the private details of the busi ness of soldiers and sailors and to arrange for their employment on their return were announced here today by the state council of de fense. The council committees would In clude In their organization one bann er, one lawyer and one business man. In their statement the council de clares the objects of the organization are: To render without charge any le gal service desired from the time of call to the colors to the end of tlie war. To see that during the absence of the soldier, there shall be nojapse In his insurance, no failure to pay taxes pn his property and no mort gage or indebtedness on his property. To aid him in securing employ ment on his return. To see that no advantage shall oe taken of any soldier in legal pro ceedings in which he may be a party and in which he might have an inter est. To look after all persons who may be or who may hereafter become de pendent on a soldier for support. To arrange for special training for solders disabled by wounds or dis ease. To see that all soldiers called to the colors are properly registered. To perform any other service for soldiers in their absence. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Walters, of Dur ham, discovered a four-months-old baby on their front porch a few days ago with the following message pin ned on its clothing: "The mother of this child is unable to support it. I want you to care for it the best you can. The Lord will reward you ac cording to the way you treat the child." There is no cluo as to the party who left the child.

But any in telligent youth can learn all the high er arts if be tries bard. The first step is to make an all round man of him self, an athlete in embryo if nothing beyond. A half dozen exercises which can be done before reaching the flrill ground will make a hopeful subject out of a greenhorn.

In this iwsltion. with arms aud bands extended upward, he can begin practice by bending forward on the hips till bands reach the knees, which are unbent, legs stiff. The next motion is to return to the upright pose and bend forward again, with bauds at the hips and legs rigid. From the erect position next bend body back ward, with arms on hips and knees rigid. Two more movements, from erect position with hands on the hips, are bending sidewise. right and left then rotation of the Inxly from hips upward on tike waist pivots.

Every boy scout or national guard gathering or military school or mili tary class of any public school fur nishes countless points to teach a be ginner how to prepare to be a soldier. A novice can witness marches and drills somewhere within reach and go to the attic or barn or pasture to re hearse what he saw others do. Progress in the home guard training is slow because the members drill only at odd hours. However, they begin at Photo by American Press Association. LEFT SHOULDEB ASMS. the foundations, and their awkward squad furnishes good patterns for the novice who doesn't kuow even right from left in a line of men. A. beginner must take his new trade seriously. Glory may lie in paths ahead, but the first steps are tedious. Fortunately they are of the kind where one dovetail Into the next higher, so to speak, and once learned they are not forgotten. All training is now done on United States army models. The national guard drills and the work at the national training camps proceed from the start according to manuals used In the regular army. Manuals for the preliminary stages of soldier life are prepared in the sim plest form," and these are textbooks In all drill halls and camps. Thus uni formity .is secured for the whole coun try, and the recruit trained m one state will feel at ease In ranks trained In another state even thousand miles way. ' MILLIONS IN "SPUDS." ' Irish Potato CVop instate Much Larger This Year Than Ever Be fore But Still More Should ' Be lUised. Special to The Gazette. RALEIGH, July 12. Several mil lion dollars have been brought into the State this year by the fine crop of Irish potatoes in Eastern North Carolina. Despite the adaptability of the State for the growing or pota toes, however, tens of thousands o bushels have been Imported from the Eastern and. Central Western States every fall and winter by North Caro lina consumers. The Agricultural Extension Service, the State Food Conservation Commission and other forces working for food production and better agriculture in the State are endeavoring to secure an Increase in acreage of late potatoes so as to keep at home this year and hereafter the several hundred thousand dollars that usually pay for imported "spuds" and at the same time relieve the transportation systems to as grea: a.i extent as possible, and relieve also the food situation in the North during the coming fall and winter. Irish potatoes may be planted as late as August 1 5th. Some planters have succeeded when the seeding .was later than that date. Where the seed are sprouted before putting into the ground, the small potatoes or culls from the first crop may be used suc cessfully. The second crop is not as certain as the spring crop, but if the soil receives the proper preparation and the seasons are fair it Is profit able. Fall Irish potatoes are more easily kept during the winter when they are harvested under favorable conditions than are sweet potatoes, Hecause of the demand for infor mation regarding of second crop po tatoes and the desirability of increas ing the acrage of this crop the Agri cultural Extension has Just issued a circular which is available to those who are Interested in the crop. This circular is No. 4!) and may be secured without cost from the Agricultural Extension Service. Raleigh, X. ( The noted Efird-Allen trial came to a close at Monroe yesterday.

Better ' Farming in the South ORDER FALL FERTILIZERS EARLY Railroad Service is a Serious Problem Fertilizer Dealers Will Be Required to Accumulate Orders So That Full Carloads Only Shall Be Shipped Railway Authorities Say Fertilizers Can Be Handled in Half Number of Cars Ordinarily Used A War Measure. r Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. C. A. Whittle. The world is hungry. To get more food is an alarming problem. How can the farms produce more food when labor is so scarce? How can more acres be planted to food crops or how can more work be given the acres usually planted with out more labor? Increase of labor is hardly to be expected, but there is one important means of help which the Southern farmei has been utilizing in the past and that is Fertilizer. But this too is beset with difficulties. Fertilizer can Increase production without increasing labor except at harvest time. The warring nations appreciate this fact, and are giving ail the encouragement they can to the use of fertilizers. The railroads can't do the busi ness expected of them unless every freight car is loaded to full ca pacity. To load them to full capacity the fertilizer dealer must have enough orders in to make up a full car load before he can reasonably hope to get a shipment The earlier the carload orders are placed the better chance, of course, of getting a shipment. Be cause of the shortage of equipment, the railroads should have as much More Wheat and Oats From the South Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. The South will be expected to take care of its share of wheat and oat production. Discouragement from the winter kill of the last season and la bor conditions make the task of keep ing up production no email one, but the country needs more of these crops If it is to take care of it allies. The prices which they are bringing, of course, do not discourage production. Even if the acreage cannot be in creased the prices which the small grains are bringing Justify the very best seed bed preparation and the iPBTimnra use of fertiliser. Growing cereals, of course, do not 'require as much labor as growing corn tn cotton, it is true, bat corn sad Belmont Items. Gazette Bureau, Belmont, July" 11. What could hare easily resulted in a serious accident occurred here yesterday afternoon when a "flivver" automobile driven by Clarence Jacx son, a colored youth, overturned on the public highway near St. Mary's College, pinning the driver and four passengers underneath It. Work men on the new St. Mary's "College barn nearby went to the rescue and set the car straight. The occupants, In some miraculous way, escaped wifh only a few scratches and bruis es. The only damage done the car was a broken fender and windshield. Miss Elsie Johnson entertained a number of her friends Tuesday night at the beautiful home of her uncle, Dr. W. W. Davis. Games were the feature of the evening. Mr. Ed Garrison, of Easley. S. C, is visiting hie parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Oarrison. Mrs. Garrison and children are with him.

Kirk, presiding el der of tho Phelby district, preached last Sunday morning for the congre gation of the Ozark Methodist church and returned Monday night and pre sided at the quarterly conference. At this meeting of the conference it was decided to change the name or tho charge from Ozark to East End. The new church building and parsonage will be located about midway be tween the Ozark and Flint mills. At the Sunday morning service subscrip tions were taken In sufficient amount to assure the early building of tne parsonage, and work on both churan and parsonage will begin at an early date. time as possible to plan for moving the fertilizer. Early orders will give them a knowledge of the number of cars that will be needed. Government Authorities Backing It The National Council of Defense has sent out a bulletin on this very subject, urging farmers to order their fall fer tilizers early so full carload shipments might be made and the largest amount of human food produced. The United States Department of Agriculture through the States Re lations Service and Bureau of Soils; and agricultural colleges and coun ty agents, are advising the same. The railroads are very urgent about the matter. The fertilizer manufac turers are offering to help the dealers and farmers as much as possible to overcome the transportation difficul ties. Half Cars Can Be 8aved Railway authorities have statistics to show that half of the cars ordinari ly used for hauling fertilizers could do the business, if only they are load ed to their maximum capacity. Where a full car load can not be made up for one destination, then it Is to be filled with orders for neigh boring stations along a railroad. cotton will take their turn in every well planned farm. The scant oat crop should De nus- banded for see' this year. No oats are as good for planting In the soutn as those grown in the South, especially if they are grown in the region where they are to be planted. The same la tme of wheat unless in a given sec tion the best variety for that section has not yet been used. Good seed should be ordered early. Unless fertilizers are ordered early, so that dealers can ship only in full carload lots it is aolte probable that farmers will be disappointed when atinr time comes. The railroads will probably have more than they can do even with full carload shipments. It Is a national necessity to see uv no freight car space 1 wasted.

With the trouble that was encoun tered when the militia was called in to the Federal service during the Mexican trouble foremost . in his thoughts, General Mann set about to ' make similar occurrences impossible in the future and undertook the task of bringing the State forces up to the same high standards of efficiency as prevailed In the regular establish ment. I'nder his management the State organizations have weeded out all men with dependents as well as phy sically unfit men. He has sought to have the National Guard a finished fighting force and today trie men in this branch of the service are well trained and sufficiently fit for service to be among the first forces scnedul- ' ed to be sent to the war theatre, and if the recommendation of Gen. Mann is carried out, at least 123,000 mem hers of the National Guard will be on the French front before the snow flies. The National Guard, when all units are filled to war strength, will num ber about 400,000 men, and when all these forces are sent to Europe it will be the duty of the Bureau to keep the units to full strength, fill- . lng the ranks from the locality in which the original unit was recruited.
