He urges cooperation between all

Discusses Meat Shortage.

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 2.-Addressing
an audience composed of stock rails
ers from practically every State in
the Union, at the National Dairy
Show Convention recently, Secreta-
ry Houston, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, declar-
ed the short meat supply to be one
of the most serious problems con-
fronting American agriculture. Mr..
Houston approved the plan of cattle
raising on large ranches and declar-
ed that no effort would be spared
by the federal government to fur
ther increasing production from
this source but insisted that the
proper solution of this problem de-
pended on an increased interest in
live stock raising by farmers and in
more systematic control and erad-
ication. of hog cholera, cattle tick
and tuberculosis.
Figures were quoted from govern
ment reports, showing that the pro-
duction Of meat in the United State s
during the past IA years had fallen
off 5000, O,OO0,00 pounds and that the
population Of the nation during this
time had increasing 1000, 900.

Jules Verne'S Dreams Realized.

Jules Verne was born 1928 at Mar
tes, in the region where the allies
and Germans are engaged in the
greatest battle the world has ever
known. He studied law, but he gave
his time and talent to writing, and
in 1863 began the story Of adventure
which won him fame. In these sto-
ries he told Of airships and subma-
rines and other inventions which at
that time were unknown and which
seemed to his readers the creation of
a gifted imagination. Many of the
things Of which Jules Verne wrote
have come true. In Zeppelins and
aeroplanes men are flying almost
when and where they please, and in
submarines they sail beneath the
surf of the water. On land there
are marvellous machines of which
the world in julie Vern's time had
bat faint knowledge.
An lliStratlOn OF this came to the
World News in an Associated Press
dispatch yesterday, This dispatch
told of the fearful death grapple
between the Germans and allies on
the cost of France. On land great
armies fought with cruel vigor; on
the water monster battleshibs hurl.
ed shells against the enemy; unde,
the sea submarines sought to drive
their torpedoes on errands of destruc.
ton, and in the air aeroplanes fitted
here and there like mammoth birds
Of prey. What Jules Verne wrote
was a dream. What the battle OF
Flanders presents is reality.-Roa

Help One You Help The Other.

The cotton manufacturers Of the
United States consumed last year
little over five million bales of cot
ton; if they could be kept busy, that
is every spindle running. the pres
ent year, they would probably con-
sumo two million bales more. Every
user Of cotton goods can help,
whether they are bought for wear
ing apparel or for cotton bags, or
for household use. In helping the
cotton manufacturer you help the
farmer sell his cotton and help the
manufacturer keep his help employ
ed, and there are over three hnn-
dred and fifty thousand people en-
gagged in the cotton mills to say
nothing of the thousands of other
people that are employed directly
and indirectly in aiding the manu-
facturers. Ten million people are

Edison a Butcher. y

Old scenes somewhat changed and
memories Of boyhood companions,
who have passed on, came before
the eye and mind of Thomas A. Ed
son as he travelled over the old route
between Detroit and Port Huron on
the Grand Trunk Railway Tuesday,
more than so years after the days of
his life as train news butcher" on
the same train.
The trip was made on special
train, which included Henry Ford
and party of friends. Mr.. Edison
threw off his years and again became
Tom Edison, ''butcher. not in name
only. but in reality, for on the re-
turn trip he grabbed the newsboy's
bag and basket and worked" the
train as he did SO years ago. No
change was given and Mr.. Edison
reaped a harvest of silver and sold
out completely.
At Mount Clements he entered
the Grand Trunk depot. where he
received his first instructions as a
telegraph operator many years ago,
sat at the desk and laboriously tick
ed off a message.
On the outbound trip Mr.. Edison
watched with keen anticipation for
the spot where in his boyhood days
he had been thrown from a train by
conductor for setting fire to a
baggage car where he had fitted UP
an experimental room.-Detroit Dis

The Mechanical Cotton Picker.

While the South has been concen-
trating it's entire attention at present
on the question of the marketing of
this years cotton crop, cotton
manufacturer of Westbrook, Me.
has been perfecting mechine which,
if what is claimed for it is true, is of
more vital concern to the production
of this great staple than all the sub
sides and bonds issues that the fed
eral government could be induced
to grant. This is a cotton harvester
recently demonstrated at Fairwold,
S. c., where it picked cotton success
fully by sucking the lint out of the
bolls by compressed air. somewhat
on the order, apparently, of the
vacuum cleaner. Its economical
value has not yet been proved, and
it is also said to have the de-
feet of picking dried leaves along
with the cotton; but the inventor
claims that this objection will be
over come by the employment of ex-
pert operators. The mecanical cot
ton picker is no new thing, as the
record of the patent office will
show fully 900 Of them having been
attempted by the inventors seeking
to solve problem that has baffled
the planter since before importation
of the African slave. If practical
machine has been produced at last,
one that will pick all of the cotton
and do it quickly and cheeply, the in
venter will take his place alongside
Eli Whitney, and 1914 will be known
in histhry, not as the year of south's
cotton trial. but as the year in which
one of the greatest of agrcultrial
puzzles were solved.-Boston Trans

INAUGURATION OF THE
new CURRENCY SYSTEM
The Regional Reserve Banks to Open
November l6. $15O,0O0,O0O to be
Turned Loose by the Government.

Washington, Nov. 2.-On Novem-
Der 10th the new currency system
will be put into effect all over the
country, The twelve regional gov
ernment controlled banks will begin
business as banks for bankers. Tn S
system contains the best and most
valuable features to be found in the
banking systems Of the entire world
and it will be the beginning of The
greatest era of prosperity ever
known, and it will be an era that no
panics will be able to puncture. The
great benefit to be derived from
these new banks is easily explained.
For instance. suppose a bank loans
100000 to the business men of it's
community, and more business men
wanted another SIS, 900 which the
bank could not spare. Under the
old or present system the last set of
men would go without the loan, and
so business and industry would suf-
fer accordingly, ii that town or
county. Under the new system the
local bank would deposit the securi-
ties it received as collateral for the
first loan with the government re-
gional bank and borrow the SIS, 900
therefrom at about four per cent
and then lend it out at about five per
cent. So under this system no le-
gitimate industry can ever suffer
for want of money, and financial
panics will be impossible.
1t was previously decided to open
the new banks on November 80, but
owing to the urgent necessity, which
the whole country recognizes, of
helping the cotton planters, the
banks will open on November 10Th
and about one hundred and fifty
million dollars ($15O, 900. .OOO) will be
Immediately loaned to the cotton
growers, which will at once relieve
this distressing situation. Last
week arrangements were made for
shipping cotton to Germany and
Austria which have received none
since the war began, and these two
countries will take rs 900 bales every
month, and in view of the fact
that no planter is to put in but half
a crop next year, cotton will soon be
at normal price again. Corn will
pay just as we'll as high priced cot
ton if it is fed to hogs and made into
good hams and bacon at 20 and Is
cents per pound. Nothing pays
better. The South can raise five
times as much pork and beef as it is
doing, and it should turn its atten-
ton to this matter with greater
earnestness.

SyStematizing Buying.

AN innovation started IN chicago
as part of the Thrift Months cam
paign during October is 'home-
makers supply bureau to investi-
gate and test foods and utensils,
furniture. textiles, shoes and the
hundred things needed in the home,
to supply information about the buy
ing of such things, and to furnish a
marketing outlet for the products
of Uncle Sans thrift clubs''- the
girls and women's canning clubs.
Only goods of utility can get on the
,, thrift list''-for the extravagances
stand charged with part of the bal
ance for thigh costs of living"
Home craft Of all sorts will be
encouraged as means to stimulate
productive thrift creating of things
of value out of those materials read
lily available" said a bulletin of the
society. With no available chan
mel for marketing many things they
grew or made, men, women and
children were disheartened about
their efforts at the kind of thrift
that will increase incomes. decrease
expenses and stimulate the habit of
saving.
Zone main effort is to check the
enormous waste by purchase of USE
, less or inferior goods, clothing fur
niture and household utensils.
Among others is that of encourag-
ing cash buying as thrifty buying"
During October, November and
December this "Homemakers' Sup
ply Bureau will be conducted as a
bureau Of investigation, display and
sale in large and well-lighted quar-
ters in the seventeenth floor of the
Lytton building on State street.
Only those goods which porve their
utility and value will be displayed.
The expense will be borne in part by
those producers whose goods are
able to pass the tests. This will af-
ford the manufacturers and produ-
GERS of full value goods the recogni-
ton of the honest worths of their
products.
The lack of ian effort to market
and channel for marketing has
caused stupendous wastes of food
stuffs. Fruits and vegetables have
rotted in the country for which city
people were having to pay high
prices or go without. Providing
such a market was task which
tempted no one seeking profits mere
ly. But the purpose Of the Ameri-
can Society fer Thrift is to war on
waste.
Of it's usefulness an economist in
charge of club work throughout or e
state, wrote: II do believe your
homemakers' bureau can do much
to stimulate an interest not only in
agriculture, but in all the handi-
crafts as well. There is no good
reason that l know why we should
not include basketry, metal work
ing, fancy work, jewelry, embroid-
cry, and even plain sewing and cook

MISS FULGHUM TALKS
ABOUT RUSSIAN ARMS
Per Cent Of the Recruits Are
IlliteFate. Full Strength Unknown
Quantity. Fond OF Music.


Goldsboro, Oct. 31.-While in con-
versation with a local newspaper
man, Miss Susie Fulghum, of this
city, gave him the following story
regarding the Russian army, which
will not only be interesting reading
to Goldsbo1o people but throughout
the State. Miss Fulghum has spent
considerable time in Russia and is
we'll informed concerning the Rus
sian army and its discipline:
''Since the present war began,
there has been less information
printed about the Russian army
than about the army of any of the
great combatant powers except
Austria. 1t has been estimated that
year may elapse before Russia
can get her full fighting strength
into the field. The extent of this
strength may be judged when it is
recalled that Russia in area is nearly
three times the size Of the United
States and more than forty times
the size of France.
Russia, because Of a series of
good harvests, and a period of in
dustrial prosperity has recovered
from the japanese war much more
quickly and completely than might
have been expected. The enormous
sums of money borrowed from
France, estimated to exceed SO, ,00O,-
600, 900, have helped to replenish the
State treasury, to reconstruct the
navy, to build strategic military
railways, and to arm the soldiers
with excellent weapons. The Rus
sian government in view of this long
expected trouble with her western
neighbors has accumulated gold
reserve, it being estimated that
there was on hand, at the beginning
of the war, 1886, 600, 900 in gold as a
war fund.
Russia is about the only support.
ing European State. She produced
in abundance every product requir-
ed by man. The agricultural and
mineral wealth of the empire is in
exhaustible. Russia could carry on
a defensive war for years without
feeling the need of imports Of any
kind. In men, Russia has larger
numbers at her disposal than any
other nation of Europe. Everyyea1
about 100000 men attain the age
when they are liable for military
service. Of this number only 45O,.
600 are taken, because there is nc
need on the part Of the government

recruits for the army of the car car
neither read nor write, but as drilled
soldiers they are stubborn, self-sac

The soldiers are passonately fond Of

of his native land. He pities all wht
cannot speak his tongue. Withou

and privation than any other Euro

I'm spite of the friendly, almos
fatherly spirit existing between tht
officers and privates, the discipline

UNDERGROUND WATER
Vivian Mcclellan.

The rain that falls, sinks into the
ground, but it may continue on its
slow underground journey for a very
long time before it finds conditions
that direct it back to the surface.
Most of this water enters along joint
planes, part percolates into the rocks
for underground water is able to en-
ter even the densest rock.
This water, however, soon finds a
way to rise to the surface and very
often it appears on the side Of hill
or along rivers rising through a por-
Gus sandy layer or, fault plane. It is
known as a spring. Sometimes the
water comes in contact with a buried
mass of heated lava and where this
heated water rises to the surface it
forms a hot spring, but when it gushes
out it is called a geyser. Minerals are
borne in solution by this hot water
some of which are deposited near the
spring. They are very beautiful in
both form and color. The geyser
formed by this underground water are
exceedingly interesting and they have
