an address emphasizing the need for
team play by the forces of American
thought and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders OF the
movement at the white house In a
brief speech, the President expressed
the belief that American public opin.
ion, although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needs guidance
to remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and
Germanys rule OF autocracy and
might are superseded by the ideals OF
democracy.
This is the issue. which the Ameri.
can people should always keep in
mind. the President said. In order to
avoid being misled into byways OF
thought and OF the resultant scatter.
ing OF the force OF public opinion.
Talk OF early peace before Germany
is defeated is one OF the evidences OF
misdlrected thought, he suggested,
and should not cloud the vision OF
those who understand that the United
States Is fighting now for the same
ideals Of democracy and freedom that
have always actuated the nation.

New Short Course at College.

The North Carolina State College
OF Agriculture and Engineering opens
with the usual number OF new stu
dents. The loss OF many OF the older
students by draft. by connection with
the state guard. by commission in the
army. and by opportunity for high pay
in civil positions has reduced tho
whole number by about one hundred.
The dormitories, therefore, are not all
filed For this reason an effort will
be made to secure big enrolment in
the four.months' course for farmers
and farm boys, which will begin on
October 3Oth.
This course is now offered for the
first time. 1t is designed to give such
instruction as best meets the needs
of practical farmers. As described in
the current catalogue, It Is divided so
that students also can be received In
January.

Completes Study Of Cost.

Returning to his regular work at
the Agricultural Experiment Station
at West Raleigh last week from
Greensboro and Winston-Salem, Mr..
Stanley Combs, OF the Dairy Field
Office, completes his two years study
Of the cost Of producing milk on Is
farms near these places. 1t will be
remembered that two years ago North
Carolina was selected as representa-.
tive Of the Southeastern group Of
States In which a study Of the cost OF
producing milk conld be made. Other
stations In the division were also Sc.
lected at the same time such as Indi.
ana in the Western and others in the
different remaining groups. The work
is cooperative between the United
States Department Of Agriculture and
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton.
Mr.. Combs has collected some inter
esting and exceptionally good data
which will be written up In the form
of report during the next three
months. When It is published 1t IL
expected that the findings win be a
much value to dairymen, especially sc
as the work has been done during the

have been high in price and hard to
obtain. Authorities Of the station hope
