In these two were not bodies, but mere
ragments-pitiful tokens of that ter
rife blast of shrapnel which accom-
panied Tuesdays explosion.

our nation is Gin a state Of war. :"
That we are facing crisis in our
history may not be evident to all,
nevertheless every loyal American
desires to stand bv his or her colors.
The call to edo our bit" comes to
you and me. Each one has a part
some have part directly others
indirectly; not all men will be call
ed to fight, in case~of actual war;
not all women will be called to rem
der first aid work" but all are
called to be prepared for what may
come, war with all it's hardships
and horrors. or world wide peace,
for which we pray. Even should
peace come shortly it will bring
many hard problem to solve, and
we will be needed to contribute
our bit. =
1t occurred to the writer that I be
house keepers, boys and girls of
this community were better fitted
to do our bit by helping to take
care of our county's food supply.
Every one, man and woman, to
whom it has been mentioned is in
terested.
Realizing that cooperation is nee
essary to success. a letter was writ
ten Commissioner Koiner, asking
for information as to how best to
cooperate in raising vegetables,
canning and taking care of our
food supplies in the most practical
aud economical way.
The following letter was received:
Mrs. E A McNulty,
Mcdowell, Va.
Dear Mrs. McNulty:
I am very glad to get your late
favor and appreciate your kind
message very much.
| regret that | shall not be able
to have the pleasure of meeting
with you and your good people,
but will send you o good sman, Mr..
B. C. Moomaw. Jr.. who is in
charge of the Market division of
our work He will be at Mellow
ell at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of
April 25th wednesday,. | shall
be glad if you will advertise the
meeting in order to have as good
attendance as possible.
Very truly yours,
G. W. Koiner.
| T Commissioner
We earnestly hope the commu-
nifty as a whole will assemble at the
school house next Wednesday to
hear Mr.. Moomaw.
There will be NO emusic by the
band" in this little undertaking,
but quiet self-sacrifcing work on
our humble part to stand by our
nation in her crisis-you know
united we stand, divided we fall
1t is said S10,000,000 is wasted
in the U. S every year. We Won
der how much Highland wastes?
Waste does not always mean what
is thrown away: In foods great
deal of waste comes from our lack
of knowledge of food values as re-
lated to the needs of the human
body.
No doubt some time will be re-
quired to get plans into shape
to do the most good in the most
practical and happy way and it
seems to me, we, as a community,
are fitted to grapple with the prob
lem of food preparedness and not
only feed ourselves but do our bit
in helping feed others. With auto
trucks, too numerous to mention
going and coming over our noun
tains daily we will have no Difficult,
ty in disposing of any surplus.
Yours in loyalty to our God, our
country and our homes,

The annual celebration of Road
Day has come to be an institution
in our State. 1t is hoped that it
may receive loyal and hearty sup
port this year, and that the con-
tribution in labor and material will
be extensive, and that much good
work may done. AS for as possible
the work should be done in har-
mony with definite plans of super
visors and road boards. The cause
of better highways can be greatly
stimulated and promoted by the
adoption of a spirit of mutual aid
and community interest, and thus
the roads become the means of
preparing the people for the better
use of them in the advancement OF
religious, educational and social
welfare of rural communities.

RECEIVERS COAL FROM ASHES
Process Is Devised in Holland for Pre-
venting Great Waste That Aver.
age Furnace Causes.

The ashes removed from the average
furnace often contain at least 20 per
cent Of unburued coal or coke, and
this percentage is sometimes as high
as rs. In Holland, where the war has
caused great shortage of fuel,
process for recovering this combust-
bic material has been devised.
The refuse is ground and then put
through sieves Of four different sizes.
Eatf1 part is put into separate basin
containing liquid somewhat heavier
than water. and the whole is stirred
thoroughly. This causes the lighter
particles which are coke and lncon-
surncd coal, 10 rise to the surface.
When they have been scooped out and
dried they make excellent fuel while
the heavier particles can be used, il
is said, In making q fine grade of con-
crete
The liquid employed in the separat-
Ing process is said TO be inexpensive
and a refuse product Of factories.

JAPANESE DECLINE TO
AGREE WITH UNCLE SAM

Washingt on. June 16.--Japan has
declined to associate herself with the
United states in the advice ven 10
emma to compose her internal
troubles. The japanese reply to the
Amerlon suggestion TO the allied pow
ers that they associate themselves
with This country Gu the principles of
the recent American note TO China
was received at the state departme Mt
Is day.
The statement Of this attitude on
the part or Japan follows closely the
receipt OF dispatch from London
announcing that Great Britain had
forwarded a note to Washington ex-
pressing her regret that she must view
the Chinese situation from slight
~ different standpoint than the
United States" and could not, there
fore, do all that the president had
suggested.
The British note has not yet been
received here. but the accuracy of the
press dispatch from London Is not
doubted
Great Britain and Japan are evil
to China. their cola boration Is pre-
sumed to be necessary under the terms
of the Acknowledgements alliance
EnEland's attitude is interpreted as
conveying to the United States the
intelligence as Japan's ally she may
not fnterferee in Chinese affairs with
out first exchanging views with Japan.
1T has recently been asserted in ia
panese quarters that England has
recognized the paramount interests Of
Japan in China and that similar rec
ognition had been given by Russia
under the czar.
Bogus Note Is Published
II was blished TODAY that the
complaint in Japanese official circles
concerning the action taken by this
country was not caused entirely as
had been supposed. by authorities
here, by the publication OF a bogus
note alleged by the Japanese rcwspa-
per Ashi to have been sent to China
by the United States. Japan's criti-
SIN Of and objection to the Ameri-
can activity relating to China were
5aTCd upon the fact that Japan was
not consulted before action was
taken by this country.
