BURTON-CHANCE WALKER CO. 1inuture and Undertaking I , Sevier Last Saturday to some "un known place." Tho enormous machine, which in ! drive,) by a four-cycle, four-cylinder I automatic gafc engine, rati d at 102 j horse power, was built by tho Buck eye Tnadion I igging Company, ac rordlng to government sp cifieations, and is earribU; of excavating seven eights of a mile of trench, about four Q -et wido and twelve feet deep, per hour.. For driving it. two large caterpil lar -treads, ea-oh ten feet in length; and about four fart wide, have been provided with two largo wheels in front to guide it. The digging will be donr by a large ( wheel littel with irojtctiiiig buckets carried in front, and enables the nia- j chine to cut its full depth. ; The giant digger weighs about 87,-, 000 pounds or radically 44 tons, and j its enormous weight is instrumental ' in digging ti nches for the "boys over there." With the. exception of artillery, the boys at .Camp Sevier are fuiilly equlp ped for training for work in France. Overcoats have been distributed to Kivery man hi the division amd each man liais !een provided with one wool'en suit of underwear and 27,000 more suits are on the way by express from Ithaca, N. Y. . Thl':re are on hand 20,000 padrs of heavy walking shoes and when these are distributed each, man will have thred pairs. The gjretalter part of the division is still '..equipped with cotton uniforms, but it us understood that woolen uni forms will not be : distributed until tihe division is 'ait the port of embark ation, as heuvy uniforms willl1 not be needed heat,, with tne other heavy equipment. Wlhile the division is not Cully- equipped in 111 ma-tter of ordnance, there is aniDln supply on luimd to practice with, and thj policy of the War HePiSurtiiueint is not to issiul tho full equipment until the dlvfsJon Is ready to embark. Only the matter of ft. id artillery is! the' crdnirnce; equtpinient of Camp S vier unsatisfactory. Theit' is only one l.itiery, four 3-inch guns, there arul thils lias been divided between the 113th and 114th regiments of field artilU'ery. Tho 115th regiment of field -Artillery, which is to be sup plied with 6-inch Howitziers, has no artillery equipment yjet.

Red Cross Notes The Red Cross work continues to grow in interest and now that the work rooms are open four days in the v:ek a great deal of good work is bing done. One box of hospial K-upillies is ready for shipment and another 1k)x of surgical dressing is almost filled and lfady for shipping. An interesting shipment of Christ mas boxes has just been made. There were sixteen ofc.these boxes each containing practically the following art-Idles : Fruit cake, candy, fruit conserves, sweet crackers, chocolate, a sJnall checkerbord, a mouth harp, chewiny gum, stationery .and pencil, I envat and shaving soap. The ar ticles are wrapped in glazed paper and the entire contents wrapped in a large khaki handkerchief tied with bright red ribbon each bearing a Christmas card signed "The Reids villeted Crots Chapter." Mr. Robt. Ilaiiston also 'donated a box of tobac co. Mhen we think of what this little token means to the boy "somewhere in France" facing the dreadful No Man's Lland, with the roar of the big guns in his ears day and night: with visions of the dear home and Chri.'nias gathering, we mmy all join in the earnest prayer that God will guide, guard and keep them every one and bring them safe to us again when these days of horror shall have passed away, let us all hope, never to return. We are glad to note the interest In Red Cros work is spreading. Last week our chairman, Mrs, Hairston, visited tne Bethlehem; section and ocgujulzed an auxiliary there. A good rworking organization is exjpected in thiis neighborhood as it is one of the most prosperous and cultured inthe county. We are ateo hoping to organize an auxiliary at Ruffln in the near future. Again we say come out and help MRS. WILLIAMS, Pub Oh.

Sold by Gardner Drag Co. j Opposes Cards For Soldiers Rev. A. D. Wiiieox, pastor of St. Paul M . E. church, caused a mild sensation among) the conference who assembled at his church for worship yesterday when he scored the local Red Cross workers for enclosing playing cards in the recent kits and other packages sent to the soldier boys in France Mr that unless the practice was immedlr atety stopped the local Red Cross workers would lose the help and aid of church workers, not only in Gold s boro, but all over the country, who were very much opposed to playing qards being sent the soldiers. It Is alleged that the church workers in this city objected at the time the playing cards were placed in the re cent gifts sent from Goudsboro, but the obj jctiona were overruled, and eveny packaca thiaft left this city con tained a pack of playing cards and a box of cjrbrettes, the Red Cross workers contending that there was no harm In sending the soldier boys cards, or the cigarettes for that mat ter. Gokisboro SpeciaJ. Retailers' Profits Tho situation with regard to re tailer in the plan and policy of the Food Administration and the attitude of tho administration toward the re tailer were explained and discussed and . clarified in the . conft rence at Raleigh for retailers with State Food Administrator Henry A. Page. Mr. Page stated in the beginning and made every man present feel. that the attitude of tho Food Ad.nl.1l9 tration was one of friendliness and co-operation, and that onty the per sistent profiteer who disregards his duty to his country' and his people and the law and the policy of the Food Administration has anything to fear. Mr. Par? stated that the Impres sion that some retailers had that the Government was planning to im pose hardships and injustice upon thiem was absolutely unfounded; and that the idea of others that because the average retailer is not suj beet to license he Is at liberty to prosecute his business without regard to equit able practices is equally incorrect. The retailers are subject to the terms of the Lever Law, and especially ap plicable to them are the provisions against the exaction of unreasonable profits hoarding, etc. The retailer who persistently violates these pro visions and who fails to harmonize his business with the policy of the Food Administiation wiil be reached by the simple expedient of forbidding wholesalers and other dealers in foodstuffs supplying him. In repfy to inquiries by those pres ent Mr. Page stated that retailers, 'like wholesalers, would be required to dispose of their commodities at a fair profit above cost, regardless of the cost of replacement. It develop ed that many retailers had purchas ed canned goods in the spring at prices considerably under present day prices. These will be required to sell at a reasonjible margin of profit above purchase price. .Natur ally the merchants having cheaper supplies WU1 quickly get rid of them; then &Ji will be on the same basis.
