OF ALL
 HEALTH OFFICERS

Little Rock, April 13.-The surgeon general of the army has called con- ference of all state and territorial health officers, to be held in Washing ton April 30-May 1, to consider the question of federalizing the health service of the country. It is a recog nized fact that epidemics are the factors in many wars, and unless the means for the handling of contagious diseases and preventing their spread are standardized under federal direction, it will not be pos sible to control epidemics. It is prob able that a system will be worked out so that the general government will assist in maintaining the health ser vice.

 Those familiar with official etiquette abroad say that the sending to this country of men like British Foreign Secretary Balfour, French Minister of Justice and Former Premier Vivianl and Gen.

 Tb nresident urges all the people .o concentrate their energies, prac- fire economy, prove unselfshness and demonstrate efficiency.
 He appealed to the farmers with smnhasis on his words, and particu- lsrlv to the farmers of the south, to o,ont foodstuffs. "The southern farmers," he said, "can show their oatriotism in no better or more con- yincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping feed the nation and the peoples everywhere fighting for their liberties and our own."

NEVADA COUNTY PRE-:
 HARDNESS CAMPAIGN
Speakers Sent all Over the County in Answer to Presi- dent Wilson's Call for More Food Crops.

The president of the United States still continues to press upon the peo- pie of the country, and of the south especially, the necessity of planting food crops. As a result of the meet ing here Saturday the following named gentlemen have agreed to make addresses Tuesday night at o'clock as follows:
 Rev. w. A. Forbes, Boughton.
 Rev. J. A. Parker, Emmet.
 D. L. McRae, Bodcaw No. 1.
 Judge G. E. Haynie, Bodcaw.
 Judge J. w. Franks, Falcon.
 w. V. Tompkins, Willisville
 H. B. Mckenzie, Rosston.
 Prof. c. M. Hirst, Gale.
 M. c. Ferguson, Sutton.
 B. D. Akers, Wire Road School House.
 Hon. Thos. C. MeRae, Laneburg.
 H. E. Rouse, Bluff City.
 Too much emphasis can not be given the fact that already food prices are "sky high" while some articles of food are almost unobtain- able. We must grow most of our own supplies or do without. It does no good to grow 20 cent cotton and buy two dollar corn-and pay from $12.00 to $2000 per barrel for flour.

To all who r skeptical upon this

will be here or Tuesday, July 3rd, to
demonstrate that it can be did"
When we stop to consider, that there
is scarcely mi out Of a thousand girls
who can throw a baseball ten feet &C.
curately, then the n who by practice
and perseverance has accomplished the
art Of throwing, catching and fielding
a baseball in actual competition with
her athletic brothers in a manner that
makes them sit up and take notice, is
surely in a class by herself, and the gi-
gantic undertaking Of training and
fitting herself for a professional ball
player a readily be appreciated.
Never in our National History has
this branch of athletic sport for wom-
en played 50 prominent a part, as dur
ing the present period Of physical de-
mand Of expression. Nearly all our
Colleges for Women have added Base
Ball to their Athletic programme.
It is the Sport Of Sports for all
round physical development, and The
American Athletic Girls must be seen
in action to be appreciated.
