Tuesday, May 22.1917 THE HE VIE. W: BJE1DSVTILLE, ft. CL THE NEWS IN BRIEF SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE A number of Japenese gunboats nave arrived at" Marsellaise to aid in thle. ;war on the German submarines and convoy French merchantmen. If the experiment has satisfactory results, it will be extended. "Women members of the Southern Paptist churches wtere denied the -right, for another year at least, to serve as delegates to the annual con vention of the denomination of that bdy at New Orleans. Naval officials resent the report from Queenstown that the American destroyer crews were not properly outflttled for cold weather duty. They did not have some of the extra heavy clothing, officials say, because of their hurried departure, but they did nave sufficient clothing for this time of thle year. More supplies-'are going with other destroyers being sent and the are supplemented by heavy clothing given by women of the Navy League Same of the merchants at Ridge- wood:, L. I., have supplemented trad ing Btamps by giving their customers onions and potatoes. . One small po tato or onion is given with each 10 cent purchaset. The housewife who makes a $4 purchase gets enough po tatoes for a dinnler. The merchants report that the scheme is popular. Incidentally, it is reported that it has become so popular that the proprietors of moving picture theatres are think ing of giving'a small potato and young onion with each 10-cent ticket. Further drastic increaees were writ ten into the inconite sur-tax scheduler of the war revenue bilL,py the Hou: in the committee of the whole afte.' announcement by Secretary McAdoo's latest estimate of one-half the cost of the first year of war, which th"! till is intended to cover, would 1 about $2,245,000,000. The increases, 25 per cent on 'all proposed sur-taxes between $40,000 and $1,000,000 as re ported by the committee and a 45 pier cent sur tax on incomes in excess of $1,000,000, as proposed by Representa tive IJenroot of Wisconsin, were in cluded of 146 to 107. HOW A FARMER SECURED FIRST RATE FARM HAND Frank A. .Scott, . Chairman of the Munitions Board, Council of National " Defense, announced that the United States will be able to supply rifles and ammunition for American troops as fast as they" can be raised and pre pared for service in Europe. "There are now on hand," hie said, "more than enough rifles for an army of ap proximately ,000,000 men. Arrange ments have now been made for the arming of a larger force and for the restore which : wastage makes neces sary. Plans have been completed to take advantage of the small arms fac tories developed" s a result of the war and to convert tbJem to our use. One of Wayne county's leading far n.trs informed a reporter of an unique way in which he secured one of the best farm hands he ever had. As a side line the farmer conducts a grocery store on his farm, mainly to supply his tenants with foodstuffs. One night several weeks past some one entered his store and carried away a large quantity of goods. Instead of notifying the county officers of this robbery -the farmer decided upon a plan of hie own to catch the thief. Keeping the robbery a secret, he awaited developments. One morning about ten days after the store had been entered and robbed a negro walk ed in the store and after making a few purchases inquired of the farmer if he had learned who it was that had broken into his store. "Yes," replied the farmer; "I am now talking to the man who commit ted the act, and unless you pay for the goods you stole I am going to turn you over to the officers." Taken completely byi surprise the negro confessed he was guilty and asked that he be given employment by the farmter in order to pay for the Btolen articles. The request was grant ed, and the farmer says the negro not only paid the debt but he made an excellent farm hand. HAPPENINGS IN THE OLD NORTH STATE Ora B. Hill of Guilford county has been appointed clerk in the Agricul tural Department. George W. Watts, one of Durham's wealthiest citizens, . has personally subscribed $40,000 to the Liberty Loan of 1917. Buckwheat should be grown in lar ger quantity this year in the mountain sections of North Carolina and Tenn essee where It is known to be a sal crop. It should be sown on land wl other crops have failed and on ola meadow and pasture lands where th; yields of hay and grass promise tt be small. This is the advioe gl ten by the United States Department o. Agriculture, ,' Complete plana for housing 22,000 men at each of 32 divisional canton ment camps in which the war army is to be trained are worked out by War Department officials and construction work will be undertaken as soon as commanders of the military department- have designated the sites. Twelve of the camps will go to the new Southeastern department, com manded by-Major General Leonard Wood, making 264,000 troops assigned to that department. Six camps will be established in the central depart inent, six In the Southern, three In the Western, four in the Eastern and one in the Northeastern department. "Ho For Carolina!" "Hoe for Carolina!" This is the motto hung conspicuoously in the of- lice of President J. D. Andrews of Catawba College at Newton. Dr. Ail drews, writing to the North Carolina Pood Conservation Commission, states that he is one of those who have been (reaching and practising diversified farming and increased! food produc- Hon for these many years. Dr. An drews has nine sturdy children and rather hints that food production has been a necessity. Secretary John Paul Lucas of the Food Conservation . Cammisssion was much pleased witbDr. " Andrews' let tier, -except for one clause that rather riled him. "Your theory has been my practice for all these years, wrote the doctor. "I have no theories," declared Lu cas. "I am practising what I preach. I work eight horses on my farm and. as I was already practising divers! fled farming, I had only 50 acres of cotton last year. I hae put about 25 extra acnes of land into cultivation and have cut the cotton acreage 20 per cent from the small acreage last year. In addition to a considerable acreage of wheat, oats, rye and corn, I am planting forty acres of soy beans for food and seed,: enough sorghum tomake 600 to 1000 gallons of syrup, several acres each of sweet and Irish potatoes, and forage pn every acre of stuble land that does not go Unto soy beans or corn. "; "I resent being called a theorist. Speaking at the Navy League lunch eon, Sir Edward Carson, first lord of thle Admiralty, "temarkied Jhat Jthle date of the function almost coincided withvthe arrival of the first install ment of the assistance which the American navy was going to give the Allies in the formidable task which lies before them. As First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Edward said he desired to express his appreciation of thf speedy way in which the Ameri . can government had rendered assist ance. He extended a hearty welcome to the officers and men of the" Amer ican navy who had comte to do this woikv He was frequently interrupt ed during the prolonged cheers, the greatest demonstration coming when he said: "We are now, from this day forward, out together to preserve the real freedom of the seas and w mean to do It."

The boy army is now forming. Not a minute is to be wasted. Governors cf all States are members of a commit tee which will supervise this big ef fort.'' ',' . ".. William Edwin Hall, of New York, experienced in boy movements, as pres ident of the Boys' Club Federation, is national director and every organl ntlon of boys, from the Y. M. C. A. and Boy Scouts to the most obscure city athletic club of village Sunday School are to be co-ordinated in one vast army which will have as its slogan: "Feed the fighters and those thtey have left at home." The name of the organization is the United StatJes Boys' Working Reserve The spirit of the reserve la that the boys in It are to be animated by the same high service motive as those who go out to fight. There is a slg- i.ificance in the hoe and the rake this year something akin to 42 centimeter guns. Dr. William A. Graham of Charlotte celled on Secretary Daniels. He has a device he thinks will protect mer chant ships against submarines. His plans are now In the hands of the Navy Department and will be consid ered. Dr. Graham is one of the lead ing physicians of North Carolina, but he has taken time to devise some thing that may help solve the submar ine problem. His secret is not yet made public. A rumor Is current in Greensboro, says the Record, that the Guilford Battle Ground, recently taken over by te government, will be used as an offi cers' reserve training camp. People who are discussing the matter would be glad" to have such a training camp so close td Greensboro as It would probably mlean that a thousand or ffteen hundred men would be. thtere- but when the thought Of furnishing them food bobs up, the high cost al ready on, dims the enthusiasm, adds the Record. Bishop John C. Kilgo, who was de tailed as visiting bishop to the foreign field at the recent session of the Col legia of Bishops, held at Nashville, Tenn., has set July 20 as the for his departure, beyond which he has as yet made no definite plans. Thb dis tricts which Bishop Kilgo Is to visit include Japan, Korea, and China. He will thoroughly Investigate conditions in those countries, making a first hand study of the problems with which Christian workers are confronted. Up on his return to this country he will make a complete report of his obser vations and experiences. Nail the Flag on the flow About two , weeks ago Mr. E. A, Rothrock, of Lexington dreamed that a long lost brother had come hoime and was riding around over Lexington in a buggy . with , him. A few days later up walked the self -same brother, Mr. Julius Rothrock, who- left David son county in 1878 and had long since been given up for dead, as no word bad come from him during the thirty- nine years he was away. He has :een living In Virginia during this time and his home is just across the North Carolina line, hot far from Danville, The two' brothers have been driving about in the buggy In much the same manner as in the dream. Mr. Roth- rocK was surprised to find what a change had come over the home of his boyhood days, says the Dispatch. Dry Farming in Palestine A report ; from the government's Arab bureau of, agriculture in Pales tine says: . . "In the neighborhood of Jerusalem a good deal of scientific dry farming being carried on, the ground being Irept loose by continual tillage. The Arabs do not use harrows, but the Jewish colonists have introduced the harrow and the American 'pulveriser with excellent results. The ploughs chiefly in use in Palestine are the primitive Arab plough and the German plough used throughout the Jewish and German colonists. British plows are said to be too heavy and the shape unsuitable. In the orangeries and other plantations American plows are used exclusively and also American zlz-iag harrows." Best Remedy for Whooping Cough "Last winter when my little boy had whooping cough I gave him Chamber lain's Cough Remedy," writes Mrs. J. Roberts, East St Louis, III. It kept his cough loose and relieved hi a. f those dreadful coughing spells. It is the only cough medicine 1 keep in the house because I have the most confidence in It" This remedy Is also good for codr and croup Read the paper regularly. Booze In Greensboro Commissioner Phipps had promised seme of his friends that he would take an inventory of the city seargant's office. It had been claimed that much of the captured whiskey hadn't been duly destroyed according to law; that a large reserve fund of preparedness had been kept, and for this reason the commissioner of public safety pro- ceeded to take inventory. He found but little of thle ardent in the city's hands. The invoice dis closed the fact that there were but three pints of beer; two gallons of wine, and about six gallons pf whiskey not including the recent seizure of the fourteen quarts of booze captured by Bob Skenes and claimed by the man Brooks who forfeited his hundred dol- lar cash bond and disappeared. During the election it was freely claimed on the streets that the po licemen, or same of them, had given confiscated whiskey away to friends. This story, however, was regarded as political romance and no attention was I paid to it. In some cities in the State once a month there is a public gath ering and the officials pour the con fiscated whiskey and beer Into sewers, much to the diellght of prohibitionists I end much to the chagrin of the iman who wants to wet his whistle and, cant although the likker is in sight Greensboro Record.

If so, let us suggest that you place your order immediately. There is a tremendous demand for these beautiful fivepassenger models. Orders are pouring into the factory from all sections of the country, and it is a foregone conclusion that our "Linwood" production will fall far short of the demand. Then, also, remember that the cost of rranufacturing materials is steadily advancing. Each day it becomes more difficult and consequently more ex pensive to secure the steel, aluminum, copper and brass that are found in a c?r like the Linwood." Right now, you can buy one of these cars for $1175. If you delay the matter too long, you may have to pay considerably more. Or, as we said in the beginning, it may be impossible to secure early delivery on a Linwood at any price. Stratford "Sucji" sevctvpasscngcr, $1495 f.o.b.
