KNEE Torn BY
shot; DOOR IS
A LIFE-SAVER

Mrs. d. c. Young, who resides north
of this city, lies in the Mt Vernon
hospital with a badly mangled left
knee, the result of the accidental dis
charge Of a shotgun Wednesday even
ing at $50 o'clock. A great chunk
of flesh, about four inches long and
three inches wide, was torn from the
inside of her left knee when the wea-
pom went off as it fell to the floor.
Early in the evening, Mrs. Young
and her 16-year-old son heard some
person or persons shooting outside
the house. They were the only ones
in the house and it aroused their sus-
picions. The son secured the gun
from a closet and loaded it. Mrs.
Young went out the rear door of the
house and saw several men (or boys)
shooting at their dog near the barn,
which is located quite distance from
the house.
In the house, her son set the gun
against the wall and went for his hat
While he was in another part Of the
house, he heard the sound of gun
discharging, followed by terrible
screams.
Rushing to the rear door, he found
his mother lying outside holding her
knee. Just inside the door, the gun
was lying on the firor smoking from
the discharge of the shot.
A local physician was called to the
home and Miller Brothers ambulance
was called to take the wounded wo-
man to the Mt. Vernon hospital. The
wound was cauterized to prevent in
fection from the shot which entered
the flesh and tore away a large piece
An examination Of the door, outside
Of which Mrs. Young was standing
when the accident occurred, showed
great many small holes where the
shot had passed through 1t and enter
ed the woman's leg
It is thought that more serious
wounds, possibly fatal or requiring the
the amputation of the wounded men,
Der, would have resulted had the door
not stopped the speed and force be-
hind the small particles of shot. AS
it is, Mrs. Young suffers a great deal
from the wound inflicted in her left
knee, although she rested much better
Thursday than Wednesday night.

ATTENTION FARMERS

AS conditions point to continued
high prices for wheat again this year,
it might be good idea for farmers
to SOW spring wheat this year instead
of oats, as it would likely prove a
more profitable crop.
This is being done to some extent
in other sections of the state with
good results.
If any farmers decide to try it out,
we will be in position to furnish good,
clean spring wheat for seed at reas-
enable price, based OH the cost of
spring wheat delivered. We will also
be in position to buy your crop when
you get ready to sell, and will pay the
same price as for soft winter, if It is
good, clean wheat.
We will be glad to talk over the
matter with any farmer who is inter.
ested.

Sarah P. Fry is asking an award of
alimony in common pleas court from
Charles c. Fry, says the Newark
Ameriqan-Tribune.
The parties marriage dates back
to September 5, 1876, near Al years
ago. Three children were born and
they lived in Licking county until
1880, wnen the husband insisted that
they move to Kansas, where they
bought farm of 60 acres and re-
NAMED three years.
They then sold the Kansas farm
and returned to Licking county, Ohio,
taking the family to his fathers home
and leaving them. He returned to
Kansas, ostensibly to build house
and take the family back with him to
live. He returned in a year but had
not completed the dwelling. He did
not send for them. Plaintiff says that
she has not heard from him since
1885, and by her own efforts she rear
ed the family. While they lived in
Kansas she loaned her husband $500
of her~own money. Joshua Fry, the
father of the absent husband and
father, died in April, 1916, leaving
farm of IT'S acres and naming Derilus
Hatch and Otta A. Fry to execute his
will To sell the farm and divide it
between his three children, including
Charles G.. Fry. They are about to
sell the farm, under the terms of the
will, for $1,000.
She asks that the executors be re-
strained from distributing the pro-
ceeds of the sale as directed in the
will. She asks for such an amount as
the court shall see fit to be decreed
her as alimony.

Ooinus and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina PEG.
ole, Gathered Around the State

That there are farmers in some Sec
GfOns of North Carolina who are feed
fng to hogs wheat that is needed by
their government for the maintenance
OF its armies and the armies of it's AL
Hes. has been brought to the attention
OF State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page.
1t is said In explanation of this re-
markable practice that the mills are
offering only $2.25 for wheat while
corn is selling at a higher figure. Re-
CARELESS Of a difference in price in
some localities the food administra-
ton and other authorities are indig-
1lant that any farmer in this State
should be so unpatriotic as to use for
feed the only cereal that is suitable
for export and upon which the govern
nent is depending, almost as much as
upon the soldiers, to win the war;
1t is clearly recognized that if this
country falls down in any degree in
its task of feeding the Allied armies
and keeping them in good fighting
trim it will pay for that failure in the
blood and lives Of it's own soldiers
the boys from North Carolina and 9TH
er States-who will have to make up
for any decreased fighting efficiency
OF our Allies. In the face of this in
disputable fact the food administra-
ton does not hesitate to denounce as
bordering on the traitorous the prac-
tice of feeding wheat to any animals.
It is declared that this practice is
not only unpatriotic but that it is fool
fish and uneconomical. Corn may be
retailing at stores in some sections
ut higher price than wheat but the
corn that is now being harvested, and
which is thoroughly mature and ready
to feed. will sell for much less than
that figure-probably for not more
than $3.50 per bushel. Besides. velvet
bean meal, most effective hog feed
is selling at $35 to $40 per ton and
rice and wheat bran and shorts are
also available. Further, there is not
a miller in the State but would gladly
exchange a much larger value of hog
feed in bran and shorts for bushel of
wheat than would be contained in the
bushel of wheat.
The food administration requests
hat the names and addresses of any
feeders. of hogs or other stock who
persist in using wheat as feed be sent
to the office of the administration at
Raleigh.
