Henry e. Seaman Dies.

Durham.-Henry E. Seeman, senior
proprietor of the Seeman Pintery and
a master craftsman of the trade, died
at his home in Durham from an at
tack of apoplexy. His unexpected
death was foreshadowed in an illness
of twelve hours duration, sinking into
a coma last night, from which he never
regatned consciousness. He was Sc
years old.
Henry Seeman was born in London,
Ontario, and when a mere youth emf
grated to Greensboro, North Carolina.
His early boyhood days were spent in
the Gate City, where he served his ap'
premiership to the craft which he so
thoroughly mastered in later years.
Sticking type" on the North State"
a weekly newspaper, was the task that
iniaiated him into the trade. The Ia
borious methods of hand-set matter on
the pioneer weekly and the modern
machinery for composition Of today
were the contracted periods through
which Henry Seeman lived and work
ed. He conserved the best from the
old school and became identified with
the ever changing labor-saving de'
ices of recent times.

MobiIizina States Idle Acres.

The mobilization and utilization OF
every idle acre in North Carolina for
the production of food supplies is con-
templated by Governor T. w. Beckett

walton Commission. By This step, the
first plans are made for a statewide
campaign which is expected to make
city back yards as we'll as rural stub
BILE ground rich in the production Of
food for man and beast.
The commission is composed of Gov
ernor Beckett, chairman; Major w. A.
Graham, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture; DR.. B. w. Kilgore, Director of
the Experiment Station; Prof. w. c..
Riddick, President of the State College

Women's Part in Fire Prevention.

An earnest appeal is being made by
Col. James r. Young, insurance com.
missioner, to women in North Carolina
to help in the fight against fire. The
fire waste in this state involves not
only a great loss of property, but of
lives also. Some women may feel that
it is strange that this appeal should
be made to them, but they are more
deeply interested than any other class
and they can accomplish as much, if
not more, in stopping this loss of life
and property. It Is an encouragement
to make this appeal, as a woman is not
liable to fail to heed calls of this kind,
especially when the appeal is so strong
and urgent. It affects her home and
her children and their safety.
To give you an idea of this toll, re-
member that every great city in the
old world, from Carthage up to the
present day, has on one or more occa-
sions been destroyed by fire, and prac-
tically every large city in America
has had it's destructive fire. The an
nual fire loss in the United States and
Canada approximates $3.50, 900 900, and
in our own state this destruction, not
counting the loss o. life, amounts to
nearly four million dollars a year.
It naturally occurs to woman to
ask: well, what have we got to do
with those things?" The answer is,
VERY much" The loss of life and
property strikes our women perhaps
harder than any other class. They can
unite with others in stopping this
waste. The annual loss of property in
North Carolina by fire and the ex-
penses necessary to keep it down as
much as possible amount to over four
million dollars each year, and two
thirds of three-fourths of this In pre-.
ventable.

Governor 1lckett's Statement.

Following the appointment Of the
North Carolina Food Conservation
Commission by Governor Beckett, he
has issued a special statement indicat-
ing the scope of the work designed to
be accomplished by this commission,
which is to proceed to the formation
of sub-commissions in all the counties
through which it is expected there
will be something of a farm to farm
canvass.
The Governor declares that with
war has come stern duty and neces-
sity, startling in it's suddenness and
Importance, that calls for patriotic
service by every man, woman and
child in civil life to feed themselves
from their own soil. That North Car
DINA must be self-sustaining. There
must, he says, be transcription and
mobilization" of all idle acres that
can be made to produce food and
feed. On almost every farm there are
idle patches" enough to plant spe-
cial food crops that will be of vast
Importance in making the farm prod
ucts equal to the demand in this
state. Every tenant should be given
rent free, enough land to grow the
vegetables for his family.
The Governor believes there are
probably idle farms in numbers OF the
counties that could be cultivated by
county chaingangs and made to fur
nish the supplies for their mainten-
ance. The Governor says: 1--WE have
here a plain and pressing duty which
gives to all alike the opportunity for
great and patriotic service. The
haunting spectre of loosened belts, of
hungry women and children should
impel us to act speedily and with de-.
termination"
