London, Oct. 25.-While the Austro-
German and Bulgarian campaigns in
northern and eastern Serbia are being
carried out according to the plan, de-
spite fierce Serbian resistance, and the
Bulgarians who crossed the Timok and
hold the town of PrahoVo are separat-
ed from the Germans who crossed the
Danube near Orsova by only few
miles, in the south things are not
going we'll for the invaders. In the
latter region the French troops have
Joined with the Serbs and, according
to French accounts, have inflicted
severe defeat on the Bulgarians at
Krivolak, 40 miles north of the point
where the Sa1oniki-Nish railroad
crosses the Serbo-Greek frontier.
This success places the Bulgarians
who reached Istip, Veles and Uskup
in rather an awkward position, for a
further advance of the allied army
would seriously threaten their flank.
In fact, unofficial reports state that
the advance of the French, who are
being closely followed by the British
has already caused the retirement of
the Bulgars toward Strumitsa.
The first desire of the Germans,
| however, is to open route through
northeastern Serbia and Bulgaria to
Turkey and this is on the eve of being

THE KITCHEN SUPPORT
Mr. Wilson Has Asked Ma
iOrify House Leader to Wis
it Him at White House
APPEAL TO HIS
LOYALTY

Washington, Oct 25.-With practi-
cally all Of the most prominent Demo
Gratis in the house pledged to the ad-
ministration's national defense policy,
with the exception Of Majority Leader
Claude Kitchin, the President will now
make an effort to get the support OF
the North CaTolinaian on these meas
ures. With this matter foremost in his
mind the President Will ask Mr.. Kitch-
in to visit him at the White House at
his earliest convenience when he will
appeal to Mr.. Kitchin's patriotism and
party loyalty in an effort to have him
lead the administration policy along
this line.
Mr. Kitchin has always been a small
navy man an din recent interviews he
has expressed the hope that there
would be no extensive building of bat
tleships of the dreadnought tyne at
this time. He. like many others, con-
sfders submarines, torpedo boat de-
stroers, mines and cruisers of the
lighter and faster type would be suf-
! ficient for defensive purposes.
While Senators Tnlman and Cham
berlain, chairman Of the naval and
military affairs committee, and Messrs.
Hay and Padgett, holding similar
chairmanships in the house, will sup
port the administration measures, it
is known that at least two Of then
are not in favor OF the Presidents S
plan. They have consented, however
in the interest of party harmony, to
adopt the administration views and d.
all in their power to put the plans
through.
Because of these compromises the
President hopes Mr.. Kitc4fin Will dc
likewise and as stated, he will be in
vited here to confer with the Presi
dent in order that Mr.. Wilson may
personally urge him to support hi:

PUBLIC SCHOOL OF WAYNE
OPENS NOVEMBER 8
Moonlight School Month i'll Wayne
County Is Fixed For the Four
Weeks Beginning Nov. 10,
and Closing Dec. 10th.

Friday, Nov Il, is North Carolina
Day and also Moonlight School Day
in Wayne County, the forerunner OF
whole month of moonlight school &C
tivities throughout the county. over
fifty teachers in the public schools,
members of women's clubs and fra
ternal organizations in the county have
volunteered for the work of elim1nat-
ing adult illiteracy.
To this end and to the end that the
month may be ushered in with en-
thusiasm, and a full conception CT
what is to be undertaken, community
service observance this year has been
centered in one day and that North
Carolina Day. Superintendent j. Y
Joyner, of the Department OF Public
Instruction, has issued to all the teach
ers of the State bulletins on moonlight
schools, together with instruction
books for both teachers and pupils in
the moonlight schools.
In a brief address to the illiterates
of North Carolina DR.. Joyner says:
"As a friend and fel1ow-citizen,
appeal to you, my friends and fellow
citizens of North Carolina who can
not read and write, to avail yourselves
now of the opportunity generously Oh
fered by your friends and felloW-c1tl-
zens through the moonlight schools,
to remove, before it is too late, what
you, yourselves, must realize to have
been a serious handicap to your sue
cess, happiness and usefulness, and,
at times, source of modification to
YOU and to your family. The inability
to read and write is a handicap and a
misfortune, but no disgrace. To neg
lect this opportunity now to remove
this handicap and overcome this mis-
fortune by learning to read and write,
thereby opening a new channel o.
knowledge and JOY for yourselves and
of usefulness and service to your COM
munity and to your State, would be, II
seems to me, wrong to yourselves, tC
your community, and to your State.
''It is my earnest hope that this
little bulletin may serve to help yor
who were deprived in childhood of the
opportunity to go to school, or who
neglected that opportunity, to hell
yourselves to learn to read and write
and cipher, and that every one of yol
for your own sake and for your State
sake may attend regularly some moon
light school and by your example an
influence induce others to attend"
The following program has beel
arranged for Moonlight School Da
and will be observed in almost ever
community of Wayne County on Fri
day, Nov 18th:
1. g-"America'
2. Scripture Reading and Prayer.
3. Reading Governors Proclamation

Look Young! Bring Back It's Natural
Color, GIess and Thickness.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and 1uxu-
RANT, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
Or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents large bottle
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's S
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no ont
can tell because it does so naturally
so evenly. You just dampen a spone,
or soft brush with it and draw thii
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning all gra.
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two your hal
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, sol
