FOOD AND FEEDSTUFF North Carolina's bill for food and feedstuff last year, exceeded the val ue of Its cotton crop by 20,00u,000 according to an estimate by Secretary Lucas of the State Food Conservation CoinmisHion. Figuring cotton at 100 per bale Swo.oou bales would have been required to pay the West and other sections for the meat, bread stuffs and feedstuffs the State Import ed. The crop production In the State was under under 700,000 bales. "At present prices of food and feedstuffi,' declared Mr. L'ucas, "the same amount of food and feedstuffs would cost us approximately J2(W,000,000 or 2,000,000 bales of cotton. If North Carolina should, by a miracle, pro duce this amount of cotton anJ the South in proportion the staple would sell at five or six cents a pound and we would be worse off than ever if we would at the same time neglect to raise our own food and feed. It Is a certainty, however, that regardless of tbe price and quantity of cotton we raise we will not be able to get the vast amounts of food and feed we have heretofore Imported because they will be requisitioned by the gov ernment." Mr. Lucas states that, while a tre mendous amount of work, is yet to be done, the people of the State are be ginning to realize that real necessity and not hysteria is behind the'1 move ment for greater acreage and produc tion of food and feedstuff's. The busi ness man an the farmers of the State are working shoulder to shoulder In the campaign and the co-operation of the business man and banker Is going to prove a very considerabl factor In the campaign. Mr. W. E. Borden, a banker at Golds boro, has issused a rather striking letter to his customers and Other far l' ers in Wayne and adjoining counties showing that cotton, even at 20 centu a pound, is. restively the cheapest tai in product upon the market today and is lower in price, considering the prices of other commodities, than it was at normal price of 12 cents a pound. The following shows the con trast, which Is even greater now than It was when the letter was issued: In an average Year with 12c Cotton, a $60 'Bale Can Buy 89 bushels of potatoes at 70c, or 750 pounds of lard at 8c, or 22 barrels flour at $4.50, or 375 pounds bacon at 16c, or 100 bushels corn at 60c, or 30 pairs shoes at 2.00, or t6t yarus cuuun gouus ai 07". This year with 20c Cotton, a Bate can nly Buy MAN'S CONDUCT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRIGHT'S DISEASE Time to Quit Extravagance - It is a time for sacrifice in little I thitiKS.

And ;et we are expected to furnish more vheat than last year for the Allies our Allies. Higher prices confront us. Shall we go with elaborate dinners and banquets as if the granaries of the country were filled to bursting and the cattle ranches overstocked? A season of plainer living and thinking would do us good. Our bod ies and minds would be the better for it. The last few years have been a time of physical and Intellectual over feeding. Our "literature'" and "art" bave suffered from dyspepsia and nerves. We need a diet of simplicity p.nd seriousness to put us in trim again. , The war has wrought just such a change in Europe. It has compelled mm to slough off the unwholesome superfluities of life and turn their thought upon the realities that count in the end. It is a tremendous trage dy that has overtaken the belligerent countries beyond the sea; it is a sol emn hour for us who stand at the threshold of the great conflict. Let us meet our new 'responsibilities not with mere emotional patriotism, but with the dignity and solemnity that nttinelv characterize the making of rigorous but righteous war.

"Enlarge your food crops and Inten sify their cultivation," urges Mr. Bor den. "It will not only pay you better in dollars and cents, but In no other way can you serve the 'Stars and Stripes' and the volume of humanity so well." Many merchants In every section of the State have resisted to advance sup. plies and fertilizers to farmers who persisted in planting too large a pro portion of cotton br tobacco as com pared with food and feed crops. In aiany Instances bankers have follow ed the same course, lending ready as sistance to the farmer who id planting food and feed crops but being chary ot those who persist in planting the Uual acreage or more of cotton and tobacco, ; In almost every community in the State the banks are lending money in small and large amounts for the purchase of seed and fertilizer for food and feed crops. Simply Uninformed The University News Letter has found an article in a current issue of the American Journal of Sociology, written by Dr. S. A. Ross, of Wisconsin rnverslty. in which the author makes the statement that northern universi ties are about the only place in the world where students can perform menial., work and still remain without tne bounds of social outcasts. Of f oursc, li.is is not true, and the News I.ttter, hi the following manner, calls attention 'o the mistaken idea which ft-ems to prevail in the minds of many educators of the north anil wp.it: "Here is the capita instance of what constantly falls under our eye; name ly, statements-, by .learned, men in the north and West who 'Indicate' that they V.nnw their countries abroad and their particular end of the United States far better than they know the south ern State of the Union.' "In the University of North Caro lin some sixty college students from year to year serve In Swain hall as dishwashers and waiters, and if they suffer any loss of caste in this demo cratic college body no one has yet no ticed it here. More than this a barber who Is paying his way through col I ge by barberlng dally has been pres ident of his class, and Is now a mem- hr of the Greater council of the Stu dent Self-Government association and president of the North Carolina cluiv all offices of the very highest honor. "Like conditions prevail at the Uni versity of Georgia, and in schools and colleges of various degree the whole south over. "It la a pity for men like Ross to know China and the islands of the sea better than they know some con siderable portion of our common country." The Cool Spell in May What old Inhabitants love to refer to as the "cool spell In May," mater ilaized all right this year, In fact, It was two cold spe!lt', and from the way It Is hanging on, it may resolve itself Into three. There has been a gener al replenishment of the coal bin and the ice chests have no doubt been wondering what hits happened. It has one of the most extraordinary months ol May this section has experienced In imany years. It has been a little rough on crops and the farm rs have been placed on something like a waiting list, though crops are making for a good stand and the lost time will be made up with the return of varm weather when it does core, for the country has been shifted toward the beginning of June. There is recom pense, too, to the lovers of niture, and it is to be seen In the wonderfully beautiful state of perfection the cold damp days have wrought In the rosds. Charlotte is a great town for rose growing:, and the ramblers on the porch and the bushes in the garden are daily of ravishlngly glorious Adornment. The floral .kingdom, in this section of the State is at the present tiljce in a state of perfection which is seldom seen. Meantime the vegetable gardens have had an excel lent start and there are more of them than has been known, and this coun try, emerging frown; the cold spell will find itself all the better for the ex perience. A little later on the only regret will be that no one , was thoughtful enough to have put a few samples of It on cold storage. Char lotte Observer. I accep:ed as warnings, and a change of hving habits instituted, that the life would 'be prolonged and the disease entirely cured.. He advises a strict observance of the doctor's orders of diet, as one's diet is the most impor tant item In the cure. Dr. Evans writing on this subject says: "Of ail diseases Bright's r:'s?ase is iaiost influenced by habits- of eat ing and of life generally. This holds true to every form of disease. If a man has a necessarily fatal form of the disease, If he will live according to the rules, he can add a few months or a few years to his life. If he has a chronic but -slowly progressive downward form he can almost live out the expectancy of a man of his years by playing the game fair. If he has a mild form of the disease he ran live the law, and he will find that his symptoms will entirely disappear. "The relation of conduct to Bright's disease is not limited to the curative side. Many men earn their Bright's by improper habits. Some get it from poisoning by lead or alcohol or other poisons, some froiai infection with or dinary forms of contagion, with rheu matism, or with venereal disease. Some get it from overeating, same from such infractions of the laws of well being as 'staying on the streets until late at night engaged in occupa tions or in associations which are re sponsible for their disorders.' How ever, what we are now considering Is what a man can do by care of him- t-eii, ins uiei, ana nis naous generally to proloug his life or to cure himself when he learns that he has Bright's disease. "The diet of a ierson with chronic nephritis should be simple in quality and limited in quantity. He should especially refrain from eating heavy meals. While 'neither a feast nor a famine' is advisable, the former Is the more harmful."

The country has been suffering with the east wind about a week. Today It feels better. There Is a psychological effect to the east wind, which makes people see things through darkened glasses. When a blows, the landscape looks like it had a dose of calomel, and proposi tions of all kinds asBuin? a yellow cast. It will not take the E. W. more than 20 minutes to blow up a fleet of U-boats, or blow down the stock mark et. It takes the. edge off enthusiasm, and the sand out of the spine, and fiakes you feel like going off to ome forlorn spot to sing "Siver Threads Among the Gold." But by and bye the compass veers around, and the sunshine begins to smile and the sweet south wind be gins to play among one's whiskers. And then faith lifts its drooping head faith in humanity, government, life and submarine chasers Danbury Reporter. One day a silver dollar sought A lodging In the town., The cheery ring of silver brought Intent to settle down. The fellow It was first to sight Was one, I'm sad to say. Who did not hasten to Invite The coin In town to stay. This most unpatriotic man, Instead of being glad To aid the dollar In the plan To help that town it had. The dollar afar to roam, . . .
