'ENGLAND's KING rs READY
TO ABANDON LIOUOR

London, March 51.-Drink is blam-
ed to a large extent by King George
for England's inability to obtain nee
essary var materials for the army
in the field in a letter sent by the
kings secretary, Lord Stamferham, to
Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd
George.
His majesty feels that nothing but
the most vigorous measures will sue
cessfully cope with the. grave situa-
ton now existing in our armament
factories" the letter says, and "if it
is deemed advisable, will be prepared
to set an example by giving up all al
ccholic liquor himself and by issuing
orders against its consumption in the
royal households"
The Letter.
The letter says:
%The king thanks you for so prompt
~ letting him have a full report OF
the proceedings at yesterdays meet
ing of the deputation of employers.
His majesty has read it with intense
interest also with the deepest concern.
He feels that nothing but the most
vigorous measures will successfully
cope with the grave situation now
existing in our armament factories.
I'VE have before US the statements
not merely of the employers, but OF
the admiralty and the war office,
which are responsible for munitions
of war and for the transport of troops
and their food and ammunition. From
this evidence it is without doubt large
~ due to drink that we are unable to
secure the output of war material in
dispensable to meet the requirements
OF the army in the field and that there
has been such serious delay, in conse-
quence of the necessary reinforce
nents of supplies to aid our gallant
troops at the front.
GA continuance of such a state OF
things must inevitably result in the
prolongation of the horrors and bur-
dens of this terrible war.
VIII Set Example.
81 am instructed to add that, if it
be deemed advisable, the king will be
prepared to set an example by giving
up all alcoholic liquor himself and by
issuing orders against it's consump-
ton in the royal households SO that
no difference shall be made, so far as
his majesty is concerned, between the
treatment of the rich and the poor in
this question.

HENDERSON COUNTY CATTLE
INDUSTRY is ON DECLINE.
Decrease Of IS Per Cent in Number OF
Cattle i'm the County; Com.
paratfYe Rank.

In 1910, there were 700,861 cattle
IN North Carolina: an increase of
76,SOO or II per cent during the cen-
sus period.
In the tables that follow in the Uni
versity News Letter, Mr.. d. E. Eagle,
of the Iredell County club at the Uni
versity, exhibits the increase or de-
crease of cattle county by county, and
ranks the counties accordingly.
F1fty-fve counties, headed by Cald-
well with a 62 per ent increase, made
gains in cattle beyond the average for
the State-at-large, IL per cent.
Fourteen made gains in cattle, but
fell behind the State average increase.
Twenty-Five counties suffered losses
in cattle. ranging from three-tenths
OF one per cent in Pennsylvania to 90
per cent in Wilson county.
The number of cattle in North Car
DINA per 1000 acres of area in 1910
was %. All but three of the counties
that decreased in cattle during the
last census period had fewer cattle
than the State-at-large; 16 had fewer
than 20, and 5 of them fewer than 10
cattle per 1000 acres.
In these five counties in 1910 were
l,543,OOO uncultivated acres of land.
Here is wilderness range area, mild
winters, and abundant water. But
strange to say, the cattle decreases in
these counties ranged from IA per
cent in Robson to 81 per cent in Will
son county.

The arrangement Of houses In q cliff

mately associated with the distribution
Of the social divisions Of the inhab-

Of a number Of units, possibly clans,
each Of which had its own social or
ganization more Or leSs distinct from

connected, although generally neigh

MAKE EXERCISE PLAY.

TO Get tho Best Results 1t Must 30
Thoroughly Enjoyed.
When you exercise, play. That is
one Of the points most strongly urged
to the attention of the puzzle in re
Gently published public health reports.
No matter whether you are walking,
gardening, exercising in gymnasium
or playing golf, keep your exercise free
from the spirit OF drudgery and make
it all recreation. Make it IS enjoyable
as anything you may do Throughout
the entire day. II you don't much Of
the good that it might DO you Is lost.
The very best thing Il man can DO"
says the report, is to make hobby
of his exercise No matter how poor
the hobby, If it induces outdoor exer-
else it is perfectly justinable."
The woman who is obliged to take
her baby out for a two hours airing
every day is far more fortunate than
she often realizes.
The only advice tho report efters the
man who is going to take up a hobby
for the benefit Of tho resulting exer-
else is to choose one that permits of
its being followed the year round rath-
er than one that depends upon seasons
Of the year. For that peesen the anna
teur gardener or chicken fa1cier is far
more fortunate In his choice than the
amateur geologist, botanist or ornithol-
ogist. The latter must wait on the
seasons and must find favorable loca-
tions for indulgins their hobbies, while
the former have year round pastimes.
